Chapter 221: Convergence
"The second prince has both ability and political integrity, and has saved me in danger many times, and I am very relieved, and now the second prince Xiahou Kun is established as the prince, which is what I want, and when I drive the crane to the west, I will hand over the Chu country to Xiahou Kun with full control......"
Gonggong Yi stood outside the main hall, and a large number of courtiers who hurried into the palace knelt below.
When the palace people went to inform them to enter the palace, they were all confused, and later the palace who passed the message revealed that the emperor may not be able to do it, and this is to rush to establish a prince.
The emperor can't do it!
This made the ministers a little unconvinced, yesterday the emperor was still red in the hall, how can he say no today, it won't work, this change is too fast!
After Gong Yi's holy decree was recited, Xiahou Kun, who was kneeling at the front, stepped forward, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and respectfully accepted the holy decree. "Son, Commander."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Queen Mother, that's the front hall, you, you can't go over......"
When the queen hurried in, the decree had already been read.
"Get out of here!" The queen pushed her people away.
"The Queen's Mother......"
After Xiahou received the news from the queen, he entered the palace as soon as possible, and originally wanted to go to the queen's side, but who knew that he was brought to the main hall just halfway through.
Xiahou turned around, and saw the queen who was walking towards this side with a fierce momentum, his eyes flashed with a touch of irony, what the queen was doing, he knew better than anyone else.
Xiahou Kun looked at the queen who came over, and the coldness on his face was undisguised.
"Queen Mother, this is the front hall, and the harem concubines are not allowed to approach." Xiahou Kun's uncle, Zhen Bohou, stepped forward and stopped the queen.
The queen glared at him with red eyes. "You are so bold in falsely preaching the Holy Decree!"
Zhen Bohou's face immediately sank. "Queen Mother, this kind of extermination of the nine clans can't be said nonsense, the holy decree is from the emperor's hand, so many people saw it at that time, who did it fake? Besides, the emperor is still in the Moliu Palace, if the queen doesn't believe it, she can go and ask in person to see if this holy decree is true or false! ”
Xiahou Kun walked up to the queen and smiled gently. "Empress, this front hall is not the place you should come to, let's go back and take good care of my father."
"You, you ......"
"This palace, I will definitely ask the emperor for clarification!"
As soon as the queen left, someone immediately stepped forward to praise Xiahou Kun, and tried every means to get close,
The emperor doesn't know whether he is dead or alive now, the eldest prince's faction has obviously lost the opportunity in this matter, and the king of Jin is far away in Yanxia Pass, and when he comes back, the sky has already changed, so the possibility of Xiahou Kun sitting in that position is still very great.
When the queen arrived at the Moliu Palace, Concubine Qin was still in the house, and when she saw the queen walk in, Concubine Qin stood up.
"The Queen's Mother, Jin An."
"Smack!"
"Ahh
As soon as Concubine Qin finished speaking, she was slapped in the face by the queen.
"Concubine Qin, don't think that this palace doesn't know what you've done!"
Compared with the queen's hideous face, Qin Guifei's face looked much calmer.
"Don't wronged your concubines indiscriminately."
"This palace has wronged you? That Zhang Lichu's holy decree, do you think this palace doesn't know that you are playing ghosts!? ”
Concubine Qin glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid understood, slowly retreated to the door, and closed the door.
Concubine Qin's eyes changed suddenly, and she looked at the queen with poison. "Look, the queen is awake."
As soon as the queen came in, she saw Concubine Qin, and she was so angry that she didn't notice the emperor in the house.
When she heard Concubine Qin say this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the bed.
Concubine Qin's eyes lowered with a sneer, and when the queen turned around, she grabbed her hair bun and slammed her head towards the carved buckle on the bed.
There was a loud "bang", and the queen mother fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes.
The two palace maids who followed the queen into the house were shocked when they saw this, and when they wanted to step forward, they were smashed by the palace maid of Qin Guifei with a vase on the back of their heads, and they fainted to death.
"Mother, what's next?"
Concubine Qin took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped her hands, lowered her eyes and smiled coldly at the queen who fainted to death on the ground.
"How? Naturally, the queen was afraid that the emperor would be lonely below and wanted to accompany him. ”
Hearing this, the palace maid trembled.
A quarter of an hour later, there was an exclamation from inside the room.
"The queen doesn't want it!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The people guarding the door of the house heard the movement and rushed in, but as soon as they entered the house, they saw two palace maids lying on the ground and the queen lying on the side of the emperor's bed, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
Concubine Qin was shocked, and her face was full of tears. "The emperor is gone, the queen doesn't believe it, and she bumped into it while the palace was unprepared, quick, go to Xuan Taiyi, Xuan Taiyi......"
……
On the other side, Su Muge turned around and went to Xiliang with Quan Ming.
In order to speed things up, the group was on horseback.
"Do you see the walls ahead? As soon as we get out of that gate, we will leave the territory of the Chu State. ”
Su Muge raised his eyes and saw that a towering city wall was not far away.
"When I left the Chu State today, how long will it take to get to Xiliang?"
Kwon reached out and touched the horse under him. "We are riding a thousand-mile horse, as long as we run for one night, we can reach the border of Xiliang, and before dawn tomorrow, we can get to Xiliang."
When he was about to walk to the border gate, Quan Ming reached out and grabbed Su Muge's reins and looked at her with a serious expression.
Su Muge raised his eyes in surprise. "How?"
"Susu, thank you."
"It's not too late for you to thank you when healed."
The group left the border of Chu smoothly and entered the border of Xiliang early the next morning.
After arriving in Xiliang, they changed their outfits again, disguised as merchants who went to Du'an, the capital of Xiliang, to do business.
"In order not to let people find out, it is best for us to join the team over there before we arrive in Du'an, and I will send a message to the other side to ask them to speed up their journey, so we don't have to be in a hurry today, I will take you to Xiliang by the way to have a good time."
Su Muge nodded, after entering Xiliang, she found that the life of Xiliang Country was stronger than that of Chu State, and the folk customs were slightly different.
"You prince is idle."
Kwon Ming smiled enchantingly. "No matter how busy I am, I will find time to accompany Su Su."
If you ride a horse from the border to Du'an day and night, it will take no more than five days at most, but if you follow the speed of the envoy team, it will take ten days and half a month to walk at least, and it will take a lot of time on the road to go back and forth.
But now that you're here, there's no need to think too much.
At dinner, Quan Ming said that the team would leave the border of Chu in a day, which was faster than Su Muge imagined.
The next day, when it was almost dark, Xiliang's team arrived, and Su Muge still disguised himself as a maid of Quan Ming and mixed into the team.
After leaving the Chu State, the soldiers and horses of the Chu State who escorted Quan Ming left.
"Get out of the way of this princess, this princess will see His Royal Highness the Prince, who of you dares to stop you!"
Xiahouyin would make trouble every day to see Quan Ming, Qin Shu didn't get tired of it, and said that Quan Ming was inconvenient to see people because of the wind and cold, at first Xiahouyin was still quiet and didn't make any more trouble, but when she arrived in Xiliang, she couldn't sit still.
In fact, Xiahou Yin's thoughts are also simple, she really loves Quan Ming, and she naturally can't sit still after knowing that Quan Ming is sick, but these damn Xiliang envoys just don't let her see Quan Ming.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, don't be impatient, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just taken medicine at this moment and is resting......"
"You, you just don't want this princess to see the prince!"
With a "squeak", the door behind Qin Shu opened.
Quan Ming, dressed in a moon-white robe, walked out of the room, covered his mouth with one hand, and coughed lightly.
"Bothered the princess."
Xiahou Yin didn't expect Quan Ming to come out at this time, and he was stunned for a while, thinking that he was quite arrogant just now, and he didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would think.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was infected with a cold, so I wanted to come over to see His Highness, His Highness is better?"
Kwon looked at her with a slightly weak smile on his face. "It's much better, so the princess is worried, it's just a little cold, and it's not in the way, it's just that the doctor said that the recovery will take a long time."
Xiahou Yin reached out and took a porcelain Gu from the maid's hand. "This is the soup I asked the prince to boil, and the prince tasted it."
Quan Ming glanced at the porcelain Gu and didn't immediately reach out to pick it up.
Xiahou Yin raised her eyes to look at the room behind Quan Ming, and vaguely saw a figure flickering, her eyebrows sank, and when Quan Ming didn't pay attention, she directly reached out and pushed the door open and walked in.
After Su Muge arrived at Quan Ming's room, he accidentally knocked over the tea on the table and wet his clothes, so Quan Ming asked people to send a clean maid's dress again.
She naturally heard the sound when Xiahouyin came, but she didn't expect Xiahouyin to suddenly break in, and when she walked out from behind the screen, her belt had not yet been fastened, and she happened to be seen by Xiahouyin who broke in.
Xiahou Yin also thought that there was a maid waiting for Quan Ming in the house, but she just looked at Su Muge who was wearing her belt, and there was a cloud of anger that burned from her chest to her limbs!
"Ping Pong"
Xiahou Yin didn't think about it, and directly smashed the porcelain Gu in his hand towards Su Muge.
Su Muge's eyebrows sank slightly, he quickly fastened his belt, and took a few steps back, avoiding the porcelain Gu with piping hot chicken soup.
A touch of coldness flashed in Kwon Ming's eyes, but the smile on his face widened more and more.
"Why is the princess so careless? Can you cut your hand? Quan Ming was about to grab Xiahou Yin's hand, but Xiahou Yin was angry, glared at him angrily, slapped his hand away, snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the house.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Xiahou Yin's slap really scared Qin Shu!
This princess of Chu is really bold, she dares to openly do something to the prince!
Quan Ming waved his hand absently and asked people to clean up.
Qin Shu stepped back and quickly glanced up at Su Muge.
He secretly said in his heart, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a maid by his side, why didn't he know at all!
After Qin Shu and the others retreated, Quan Ming walked up to Su Muge. "You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Su Muge walked to the chair and sat down. "It seems that the eighth princess is very fond of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
