Chapter 9: The Mutation Starts

After two days of driving and riding, the group arrived at the palace.

The summer palace is built in the northwest of the capital, and the whole palace is built by the lake, standing in the wind, refreshing and elegant. There are also small half of the buildings deliberately imitating the style of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, supported by bricks and stones, built directly on the water, which is more cool and pleasant. To the north is a large bamboo forest, and the scenery is quiet.

Su Mi stood in the corridor of Lingyan Pavilion and looked around, where the wind was blowing, the light veil was long, and the blue waves were rippling, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and the summer was completely gone. As the coolest and most beautiful place in the entire palace, it has naturally become the dormitory of Qi Long.

Although I have been seeing it for many days, I still can't help but stop and watch it every time I pass by here.

She lives in the small side hall next to Lingyan Pavilion, and all the time arrangements are almost the same as in the palace, still taking Miqing every morning, holding the prepared refreshments, passing through the corridor, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, while walking slowly, and entering the main hall after a while.

The bottom of the whole Lingyan Pavilion palace room is an undercurrent, the cool water waves flow more than once, so that the whole hall is full of dynamic coolness, from the window of the main hall to look at, the lotus flowers on the lake are in full bloom, the lotus petals are delicate, the red is different, the lotus leaves are in the fields, the green is endless.

Qi Long was looking at the excerpt that had just been delivered, with a rare look of solemnity and worry.

In the past few days since arriving at the summer palace, there has been no special incident between the DPRK and China, and the war in the south has basically reached a stalemate, according to the usual law of several battles. Once the battle situation has evolved to this point, it is difficult to change without a year and a half. Qi Long put down most of the government, and his mood was very hearty.

"What's wrong with the emperor today?" Su Mi stepped forward and asked, "But what's there to worry about?" ”

"It's a very strange thing, and it's not a matter of worrying. Qi Long smiled and said, "It's just very strange." ”

As he spoke, he handed the fold in his hand to Su Mi, and Su Mi took it and saw that it was the fold of Qi Hao, the Prince of Yu, and immediately understood in his heart.

The meaning of the excerpt is simple. That is to say, a few days ago, the doctor who invited Di Xuanji was a fake liar. Now that it has been found out, he secretly killed him on the spot. It's just because this matter is related to royal decency, so it has never been passed on.

Su Mi knew that it must be Qi Hao's hands and feet. Although that impostor is pretending to be a godfather, he does have a bit of real talent, and in the past few days, after his treatment. The Queen Mother's condition has improved greatly.

Qi Hao knew his true identity and the fact that his father-in-law had already passed away, but he didn't know that this person was sent by Ni Yuan to plot misdeeds, and he only thought that this "Xuanji Divine Doctor" was from Nanchendi.

First, I was afraid that he would really cure the Queen Mother, and second, the war was raging on Nan Chen's side, and it was too difficult to grasp such variables in the palace. After all, he is the prince of Daqi, so he naturally has to consider the security interests of Daqi. Anyway, there is this crime. simply didn't do it and kept getting rid of the killer.

Although Su Mi knew that it was Ni Yuan who asked this person to pretend to be a doctor, she should have been happy to see the two tigers of the Wang family and the Ni family fighting, and she should wait and see the changes in the situation and stand by in order to benefit from it.

But Ni Yuan's chess piece is unclear, if it is just to get rid of the Queen Mother. There was no need to delay for such a long time, and he was far away from the court, so he was caught off guard once something happened, so he simply acquiesced and watched Qi Hao make a move. Moreover, in Su Mi's heart, this guy dared to pretend to be her stepfather's name, and it was a blasphemy against his relatives to let him stay in the world for an extra minute.

"This is a strange thing," Qi Long said with a puzzled face, "how can this be?" I looked at the Xuanji Divine Doctor 'Su Weiming', and behaved in moderation. The medical skills and literature are outstanding. Why do you want to pretend to be someone else to come ......?"

"What's so strange about this liar mentality?" Su Mi said with a smile: "He must be coveting the royal wealth and reward, but he is afraid that he will not be able to cure the queen mother's illness." simply pretended to be someone else's name, cured, the reward for wealth is naturally his, if it can't be cured, find a reason to leave the palace, secretly run away, when the time comes, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I don't know the name, where to look for it? ”

"I don't think that's the case, this person is a person with real talent and learning, how can he be so short-sighted?" Qi Long shook his head and said, "Needless to say, just his opinion on poison, I think he is the real Xuanji Divine Doctor, but I'm afraid he may not be able to match him." After that, Qi Long asked this "Xuanji Divine Doctor" several times for some medical knowledge, and he was clear about his ability.

"Yes, the emperor also discussed with this doctor what poison, what Tai Tianshui?" Su Mi smiled casually, "This person has a lot of knowledge. ”

Hearing Su Mi mention this, Qi Longdi's face was vaguely unnatural, and he smiled: "It's just that occasionally the interest comes up, and I just talk about it casually." I think this person is indeed a human talent. ”

"That's true," Su Mi said with a smile: "I heard that the Queen Mother's condition has improved under his treatment. It's just like this, I don't know if it's going to be repeated. Alas, speaking of which, Prince Yu was also a little reckless. Even if he is really a malicious person, it will not be too late to talk about the crime when he cures the queen mother's illness. Su Miwei sighed with regret.

That's not right. Qi Long shook his head and said: "I think that Prince Yu's actions are quite in line with my wishes, the doctor invited by the royal family turned out to be a liar, which is really embarrassing, and in order to treat the queen mother, he wants to live in the deep palace for a long time, how can the harem be heavy enough to accommodate people with ill intentions?" Once there is any misdeeds, I am afraid that it will be too late to kill again. Now that his heart disease of the Wang family is deepening day by day, his concern for the queen mother's condition is only superficial, and in his heart it is not as important as the royal face.

"It's still far-reaching for the emperor. Su Mi admired.

"In the future, if there are any doctors who invite themselves, they must be strictly examined to avoid such mistakes again. Qi Long seemed unwilling to bother more on this topic. As he spoke, he tossed the book aside, and the matter was revealed.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Time flies, I lived in the palace for more than half a month, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to July, and July of the fourth year of Longhui is destined to be the most unstable month in the history of Daqi. The changes that determine the direction of this dynasty and the whole world. One after the other happened in just one month.

On this day, Su Mi got up and combed and just coiled up her long hair. Suddenly, Xiao Luzi hurriedly ran in, and before the person reached the door, he shouted out of breath: "Niangniang, it's a big deal!" Big deal! Empress! I don't know whether I am happy or worried.

"What's wrong?" Su Mi turned around and asked.

"It's the news that just came from the palace, Liu Cai is alive!"

"What?" Su Mi was taken aback, "Isn't it only less than nine months?" How did you give birth? ”

"I heard that Liu Cairen accidentally tripped over the threshold when he went out to breathe, but fortunately, the people around him returned to the place in time. The person was not injured, but he had already moved the fetal gas, and soon after returning to the room, he had abdominal pain, and the palace people hurriedly sent the imperial doctor, and in the afternoon, he gave birth to ......"

"How's the people? There are no injuries. Su Mi hurriedly asked. Such a premature birth, and the first child, is extremely dangerous for the mother.

"The kid is fine. However, Liu Cairen's body was injured and he needed to recuperate for a while. ”

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Only then did Su Mi realize the most critical problem.

"It's a little prince, mother and son are safe. Xiao Luzi said: "The emperor is very happy with the news that the people from the Internal Affairs Office just delivered." ”

"Where is the messenger?" Su Mi was also overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"In Lingyan Pavilion, I'm returning to the emperor. In a hurry to report to the master, I heard half of it and ran to it. ”

Su Mi hurriedly packed up and went to the main hall.

Qi Long in the palace was full of joy, his harem concubines were pregnant a lot, but not many could be born safely, and even if the children were born, most of them would not grow up, and there were boys who had been born before, but the longest lived died before before they were less than a year old.

He is still empty under his knees, and he is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of his heir.

"Congratulations to the emperor!" When Su Mi entered the palace gate, he smiled politely: "Now Sister Liu has made a great contribution. ”

"Hmm," Qi Long nodded and smiled, "I am preparing to prepare a decree to ...... Liu Liu...... Liu's position was promoted. Wasn't she originally talented? How about being promoted to a concubine? ”

Su Mi raised her eyebrows imperceptibly. It seems that Qi Long has even forgotten the name Qiyan.

"The emperor Shengming, Sister Qiyan was originally not from a high background. It has been difficult to promote the position, and now that his father has held an official position, he is a serious noble woman, and he should be promoted well. And the mother is noble, so it's good for the little prince. ”

Qi Long nodded again and again, unfolded Huang Aya, and pondered the words of the holy decree. Su Mi dipped the brush in thick ink, and said: "It's just that the emperor, the most important thing now is not Sister Liu's position, now the prince is far away in the capital, without the emperor's heavenly blessing, I just heard that Sister Liu was born prematurely this time, and between the ministers and concubines, I should order the hospital to take care of it carefully." ”

"I am also worried about this, and I must write it in my will. Qi Long said. Thinking of the children who died earlier, he was worried for a while, most of the children in the palace did not grow up, and they were extremely easy to die.

Su Mi said with a smile: "Fortunately, now the queen mother and the concubine mother are staying in the capital, and Prince Yu is also honest and credible." The emperor did not order the queen and Ni Guifei to work together to take care of Sister Liu and the little prince, although there was no protection from the emperor's dragon power, but with the phoenix and nobility of the two mothers, it would inevitably make the demon and evil easy and ensure the safe growth of the little prince. ”

"Mi'er is really thoughtful. Qi Long smiled, "It just so happens that the will of the reward has not yet been given, so I will add another holy parable to Fengyi Palace." As he spoke, he wrote down the two wills one by one.

Su Mi breathed a sigh of relief, she originally thought that Qiyan should not give birth until next month at the earliest, who knew that she would give birth to a little prince now, and now the first queen and Ni Guifei in the palace are here, and the situation is delicate and unspeakable. Only by counting on these two people to contain each other can they keep their mother and son safe.

The joy and peace brought to the palace by the newborn prince had not had time to make the palace people feel for long, and only ten days later, an even more shocking news reached the court.

The prince of Dingguo was defeated and died!

Compared with the birth of the first prince in the reign of the Great Qi Longhui Dynasty, this news not only shocked the harem of Daqi, but also shocked the entire court and the people of Daqi.

According to the return of the defeated soldiers and horses, Wang Hao led the army to attack Jianye City. After successive victories, Prince Nan Chen Cheng retreated to the city. Relying on Chenggaochi Shen to resist the Qi army, the two armies fell into a stalemate for a while. Unexpectedly, the secret agents lurking in the Nan Chen army intercepted a message that Jianye's grain and grass had been exhausted. After receiving such news, Wang Hao was more confident, and ordered his soldiers to step up the offensive, seeing that Jianye City was going down overnight. Finally. After supporting for more than a month, Chen's army ran out of food and grass, and had to withdraw from the city in defeat, taking the initiative to break through and flee.

Wang Hao led the army into Jianye City, thinking that he had made a great contribution and broke through this fortified city that had blocked the pace of the Great Qi soldiers for many years, but he didn't know that Prince Cheng had already made a plan. Chen Qian deliberately released the news that the grain and grass were exhausted to confuse the Qi army. But he secretly hollowed out several places in the city. It is then filled with sand to make it look flawless. He pretended to be defeated and withdrew from the city, and the Qi army had no doubts. After leading the army out of the city, he secretly lurked in the mountainous area, waiting for the Qi army to enter the city, taking advantage of the night. The inner should break the city wall and attack the city in one fell swoop, and the inside and outside should be combined to annihilate the Qi army in the city.

At that time, Wang Hao was holding a banquet in the city lord's mansion to celebrate his great achievements, after the incident, although Wang Hao reacted quickly and immediately led his troops to break through, but the city lord's mansion was located in the depths of Jianye City, the road was too far, after all, he did not rush to the city gate and died.

Seeing the death of the main three army commanders. The rest of the soldiers were in chaos. In addition, the Qi army had just entered the city, and they didn't know much about the topography and buildings inside the city. Chen's surprise attack was swift and difficult, and in less than a night, the Qi army was defeated. Fortunately, Liu Qi, the deputy general who was originally in charge of patrolling and guarding the city wall, saw the opportunity quickly and led nearly half of the soldiers and horses stationed in the outer city to rush out, so as to avoid the result of the annihilation of the whole army, and now all the Qi troops have retreated to the border pass.

When the news reached the summer palace, Qi Long was furious.

Wang Hao attacked the enemy this time, and fell into the enemy's strategy, so naturally he was unforgivable, but he was already dead, and Qi Long couldn't pursue anything, and he couldn't even find the object to vent his anger.

For a whole day after the news arrived, Qi Long walked back and forth in the main hall of Lingyan Pavilion like a beast trapped in a cage, gritting his teeth and cursing the unforgivable Wang Hao, almost wishing that he could escape alive so that he could have the opportunity to personally deal with this sinner who had made him lose face one after another.

In fact, although the Qi army was defeated this time, because of Nan Chen's insufficient troops and the cleverness of the deputy general Liu Qi, half of the Qi army fled back to the territory of Qi. On the whole, compared to the previous fiasco, the losses are not very large.

Now the worry is that Nan Chen took advantage of the situation to go north, and the lost land ceded to Daqi in recent years was the hometown of nearly a hundred years under the rule of Nan Chen, and it had just returned to Daqi, and the people were originally unstable.

It was the hot weather in July, even in the Lingyan Pavilion, there was no original cool breeze and rippling water, and it was replaced by a different kind of dullness.

"Your Majesty, let's drive back to the capital. Su Mi said softly. In the summer palace, the transmission of official documents and the efficiency of work are far inferior to those in the palace, so they are naturally unhindered, but now that such a major event has happened, Qi Long is not allowed to go on any longer.

"Moreover, after the Queen Mother heard about this incident, she had already ......" Su Mi looked at Qi Long's face, and there was another news just delivered: After the Queen Mother heard the news of Wang Hao's death, she fell into a coma on the spot, and she is still being rescued, and her life and death are unpredictable.

Qi Long's face was cloudy, and he groaned for a while, and finally took a long breath and said slowly: "It is rumored that He Yuwang of the Internal Affairs Office has come in and is ready to set up a matter of returning to the palace." ”

Two days later, Su Mi followed the convoy and hurriedly left the summer palace where she had lived for less than a month.
