Chapter 143: The Triumphant Return
In the past, the wild goose gathered Zhu, and now it is also the bird's nest beam. Dare to resign for a long time, but make it spring.
The Daliang army, which had been marching for many days, finally returned to Jiankang, and the people in the city were all happy and clapping their hands in welcome. Today's Jiankang City is unprecedented, on both sides of the avenue, all the shops, wherever people can stand, everywhere is crowded with people. Just to be able to welcome those soldiers who have returned triumphantly, and to be able to see the outstanding demeanor of the world's most beautiful men.
Shen Yuzhang rode on a horse led by the army, and along the way he would always look back at another carriage that followed the army. Xiao Nanfeng would make an exception to take a woman on the road, and he had the impression that when Xiao Nanfeng would be so attentive to a woman other than Xiao Qingyue. Glancing at the handsome man on the horse, he felt that there must be something wrong with this!
With the continuous influx of people and soldiers passing on the avenue, the road was surrounded by water for a short period of less than a few miles, and everyone stagnated and had to stop in place. The neighing of war horses, the noisy crowd, the scene became chaotic for a while. In the several carriages accompanying the army, in addition to the injured Xiao Tong and Na Yan Xiwu, there was also a carriage carrying Xiao Xu, the fifth prince, who came back together. He has now been beaten by the Great Wei people with a broken leg, and even if he is good in the future, he will be a lame man, and he has tried to escape many times along the way, but he is paralyzed and weak every day, and he can't even get off this carriage. It wasn't until the past few days that I realized that his daily food and water were drugged in advance! Thinking about it, I also know that it must be Xiao Nanfeng's hands and feet, in order to prevent him from escaping, this sixth prince is really hateful!!
At this time, the horses in front of the carriage of the leader did not know what was frightened, and suddenly neighed...
Shen Yuzhang had an ominous premonition in his heart, nothing went wrong along the way, and now that he has reached the foot of the imperial city, there will be no more chaos!
As he thought so, the frightened horse slowly collapsed towards the crowd, and the carriage that was being led behind it also rolled on its side. The crowd also became more and more chaotic, and some ordinary people who could not dodge were also pressed by the body of the carriage.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned and looked at the chaos in front of him, at this time, Shen Yuzhang on the side had already flown away from his horse to investigate the situation. It was Xiao Tong's carriage that overturned on its side, but nothing could happen.
In the end, this chaotic scene, with the dispatch of the patrol battalion and the Praetorian Guard, forcibly evacuated the crowd crowded on the road. When Shen Yuzhang rescued Xiao Tong from the carriage, Xiao Tong was already unconscious, and the military doctor who accompanied him in the carriage was also unconscious...
East Palace
There were many people standing in the courtyard of the East Palace, and there were also many people around the room where the prince was sleeping.
At this time, Shen Rujun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had already cried and red-eyed, while the faces of several other people, including Xiao Yan, were a little heavy.
The man lying on the bed has his eyes closed, his face dark, and his lips purple...
Su Xing was taking the pulse of the person who fell into a coma on the bed, but his face became heavier and heavier as the minutes and seconds passed.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand...
Everyone looked at him eagerly, and Xiao Yan asked even more anxiously, "How is the prince?" ”
Su Xing's face was heavy, "His Royal Highness the Prince's injuries are no longer serious, and now he is unconscious because... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned" Xiao Tong's symptoms were the same as those of the military doctor, both of them were poisoned.
Several people present were shocked when they heard this! Xiao Nanfeng and Shen Yuzhang frowned even more, they were all safe and sound along the way, how could they be poisoned for no reason!
Xiao Yan couldn't help frowning, "I know what kind of poison it is, but there is a way to detoxify it."
"Back to the emperor, judging from the diagnosis of Weichen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have been poisoned for a very long time, as for what kind of poison he has been poisoned... The minister is shallow, this poisonous minister has never seen it"
When the words fell, the faces of several people became solemn again.
After several other doctors in the Tai Hospital were diagnosed and treated, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't know what kind of poison Xiao Tong was.
Xiao Yan was also a little flustered in his heart, what should I do, all the imperial doctors in the palace couldn't see what kind of poison Xiao Tong had, this was undoubtedly the death sentence of Xiao Tong.
Su Xing spoke again, "Weichen has temporarily closed some veins with a silver needle to prevent this poison from spreading in his body, but this method can't last for a few days, and he has to know what kind of poison this is quickly before he can be further treated."
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng took over and said, "Imperial Doctor Su, I don't know where his father is now."
Su Xing was slightly stunned, thought about it and replied, "My father has always been in the Suhe Medical Center in Suzhou and has never left" Although he is not Su Tongyuan's son in the real sense, he is also the nominal son, and the two have a lot of correspondence in private.
When Xiao Nanfeng heard this, he suggested to Xiao Yan, who was at a loss, "Brother Huang, it's better to urgently recruit Imperial Doctor Su's father to Beijing, Su Tongyuan is a famous divine doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, and his medical skills are extremely high, maybe he knows what kind of poison is in the prince."
Xiao Yan thought about it and nodded, Su Tongyuan can cultivate a talent with excellent medical skills like Su Xing, and his own medical skills will definitely not be a problem. Immediately ordered to send people to Suzhou to invite Su Tong to enter Beijing, and posted a notice to reward doctors with high folk medical skills to enter the palace.
Originally, he was going to reward the three armies and hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of this expedition, but in the end it was canceled because Xiao Tong suddenly fell seriously ill.
In the evening, the Xuanshi Temple
Xiao Yan was pacing in the hall with a sad face, what was originally a happy event was now like this.
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng and Shen Yuzhang in the palace stood quietly on the side waiting for his questioning.
"Why did the prince get poisoned, you really don't know?" This thing was too strange, and he had to wonder if someone in the army had done it.
Xiao Nanfeng knew his suspicions and replied, "Brother Huang, Brother Chen, and General Shen dare to be sure that the crown prince was not poisoned when he entered the city" He now suspects that Xiao Tong was poisoned when the army entered the city and there was chaos.
Shen Yuzhang on the side also took over the words, "Your Majesty, the sixth prince is true, the last general also said a few words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before entering the city, and His Royal Highness did not have anything abnormal at that time" This poison must have been placed by someone after entering the city, and a person flashed in his mind at this time... While thinking of this person, his afterglow swept over Xiao Nanfeng on his side...
Xiao Yan knew that there was no conclusion to this matter at the moment, and after asking some Xiao Xu about it, he asked the two to retreat... Xiao Xu was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and now Xiao Tong's poisoning is very tricky, and Xiao Yan has no heart to care about the rebellious person, but just ordered the heavy soldiers to guard it.
Walking on the way out of the palace... The two men were silent, Shen Yuzhang had always had questions he wanted to ask, but he felt that such a question was a bit abrupt.
At this time, the person next to him seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry, if this matter is really done by that Yan Xiwu, this king will definitely finish her off personally!" ”
Hearing him say this, another trace of worry rose in Shen Yuzhang's heart, "If it wasn't for that woman's doing, how would the prince plan to settle her in the future?"
Silent....
The man raised his eyes and looked at the sky that was completely dark, and said leisurely, "If it wasn't for her, this king would have sent her back to her hometown in Suzhou."
Is that really the case! Shen Yuzhang couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
After returning to the General's Mansion, everyone in the General's Mansion was jubilant, and the happiest one was Xiao Youyu, who made a table of dishes with her own hands and waited for Shen Yuzhang to come back.
Shen Yifu and Shen Momei were also very happy, and at the same time, they couldn't help but worry about Xiao Tong, who was still in a coma at the moment, they were reunited as a family here, and Shen Rujun, who was the crown princess, was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night and would not be able to sleep and eat. After dinner, Shen Yifu and Shen Yuzhang went to the study to discuss some things. And Xiao Youyu went back to the room and prepared bath water for Shen Yuzhang. Shen Momei made fun of her, Xiao Bisheng was newly married, and asked her not to live up to the good day. This couldn't help but make her ashamed...
Inside the room, a large wooden barrel was placed behind the screen, and at this time there was already water in it, and the steaming heat rushed straight up. Xiao Youyu probed and probed the temperature in the water with his hand, for fear that it would be hot and wait for someone who was going to bathe.
Shen Yuzhang pushed open the door, and saw the figure he thought about day and night, stepped forward and hugged the slender waist from behind, and his heart was instantly satisfied.
The mouth did not forget to tell the pain of lovesickness, "Yu'er... I miss you so much ... ”
Xiao Youyu's face was hot for a while, and he replied in a voice as low as a mosquito, "Me too... ”
The corners of the man's mouth curled, and he teased, "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly"
Xiao Youyu was already ashamed and lowered his head to the wooden barrel in front of him, "Don't be poor, take a shower and change clothes, the water is going to be cold"
The man laughed again, kissed the red earlobe of the woman in his arms, and joked, "I didn't expect you to miss your husband so much, so anxious... ”
The woman immediately said coquettishly, "Yu Zhang! ”
"Okay, okay, tease you for your husband, loosen your clothes for me" The man coaxed lightly, and reluctantly kissed the woman's bun again, and then let her go.
Xiao Youyu was too shy to look at the man's face, and went around to the back of him to widen his clothes, and as the robes were taken off, the bare skin on the man's back, large and small scars, crisscrossed the country. This made the people who saw all this instantly feel distressed and red-eyed. She'd seen the scars on her back before, but this time she had added a lot of new ones.
Shen Yuzhang noticed the strangeness of the person behind him, and turned around to see the person who was already red-eyed. touched her hair soothingly and said, "It's okay, it's all right" In order not to worry her, he asked people to rub medicine on this injured place every day, hoping to heal quickly, and didn't want the woman he cared about to cry when he saw it. But when the injury is healed, it still has to leave a scar.
Xiao Youyu was already slightly choked in his throat at this moment, and he couldn't speak, because there were also many injuries on the exposed skin on the man's chest. She knew that when she went to the battlefield, she would inevitably be injured, and it was a great blessing to be able to come back safely. But thinking of those ruthless knives cut on this man's body at that time, she felt as if those knives were cut on her heart, and it hurt very much.
With red eyes, she took off her underwear, she opened her eyes and pushed the person in front of her, "Sit in, take a good dip, I'll add some medicinal food to the water"
The man smiled and replied, as soon as the word "good" fell, he picked up the woman who opened his eyes in front of him and said, "Such a big bucket, what a waste for me to use alone, how about Mrs. and me... ”
