Chapter 585 Back to Dali Temple
Xia Wenxuan could see King Yong'an's sincerity in wanting to save Chu Tiankuo, but he was a little wooden. However, she thought about it, the identity of King Yong'an is still extremely noble, at least speaking is more effective than her, the daughter of the prime minister. It is not impossible to let King Yongan go to Dali Temple together.
Perhaps, Dali Temple will turn her away, so that she can't even see Chu Tiankuo's face. However, it was different with King Yong'an accompanying her. King Yongan and Chu Tiankuo are brothers, and they are princes, in public and private, in and out of Dali Temple, isn't it more convenient than entering and exiting the palace?
So, Xia Wenxuan replied: "I'm going to Dali Temple, do you want to go together?" ”
King Yong'an replied without thinking: "That's good." That's what I mean, so it's better to go to the prison to see the emperor's brother. ”
He hadn't seen what the prison was like, and he didn't know how the imperial brother was doing in the prison, whether he was bitter or not. I believe that as the crown prince, Dali Temple will not be too wronged by him.
Xia Wenxuan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at King Yong'an: "Then let's go together!" ”
"Let's go?" King Yong'an's eyes widened in horror and looked at Xia Wenxuan in disbelief. From the palace to Dali Temple, if you walk on two legs, I am afraid that it will cost him half his life.
When Xia Wenxuan heard this, she was happy and teased him: "You don't want to go?" Then I'll go on my own. ”
King Yong'an hurriedly explained: "No. I mean, we can take a sedan chair to the door and then transfer to a carriage without having to walk on our own. ”
it! Who is teasing whom? Xia Wenxuan originally intended to tease King Yong'an, but she didn't think about it, and King Yong'an discussed this issue with her seriously. And as a result, it was obvious that Xia Wenxuan was teased.
The roots of her eyebrows were raised, and she said unhappily: "There is a sedan chair to sit on?" Why didn't you say it earlier! "It's made her so far.
King Yong'an winked at her and smiled: "You didn't ask either, okay?" ”
Xia Wenxuan has been in the palace these days, and she relies on her legs to travel, where did she think that she could still sit in a sedan chair in the palace? While laughing at herself for being lonely, she couldn't help but recall the scene of these days. In the palace these days, the person she has contacted the most is King Yong'an.
It seems that when she saw him, the two of them went to the Tianfeng Hall or other places together, both walking. Since you can sit in a sedan chair, why doesn't King Yongan take a sedan chair and walk with her? Soon, an idea came to Xia Wenxuan's mind: King Yongan really liked her and wanted to create opportunities to contact her more.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly, why is the person who likes her King Yong'an? is also a brother, but Chu Tiankuo refused to even look at her?
In Dali Temple, Shui Mai, Lu Cai'er, and Lan Ayayu are all looking forward to it in the lobby.
The water vein was injured by rolling the nail board, and after a period of recuperation, his body is slowly improving. It's just that she was too badly injured this time, and although her skin injury was healed, her body was still very weak.
Lan Aya Yu also discussed this issue with Li Chourong and came to the same conclusion that the water veins hurt the root and fell to the root of the disease, and I am afraid that it will be a problem to have children in the future. This made them very sad, and the two planned to hide the water vein first and not let her know about it.
On the one hand, I am afraid that it will affect the mood of the water vein, which is not conducive to the recovery of the body. On the other hand, Li Chou Rong and them want to study and study again to see if they can cure the water veins and regulate her body. After all, Li Chourong's title of Shennong cannot be wasted.
Yunbai received his promotion to the post of secretary of Dali Temple early this morning, and handled the official affairs in Dali Temple. Last night, Li Shuang brought the emperor's oracle of pardoning Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le, and he wanted to let Chi Le out of prison. Thinking about it, I feel that it is inappropriate, after all, it is difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the dictation, and it is passed down from generation to generation, and he does not dare to make decisions without authorization.
Water Vein, Lan Aya Yu and Lu Cai'er, the most worried about Chu Tiankuo's safety is the Water Vein. If it weren't for the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness and her movement was restricted, she would have wanted to break into the palace alone.
With such concern, I thought I could save people. Who knew that after three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no news coming. Everyone who was waiting for the news in Dali Temple was overshadowed in their hearts, and they were all worried, for fear that Chu Tiankuo would have three longs and two shorts.
Lan Aya Yu and Lu Cai'er looked at the water vein, afraid that she would be cranky. However, even though the two accompanied Shui Mai, Shui Mai was still nervous, like sitting on pins and needles, so that he panicked and cried.
Since the water vein rolling nail board was injured and in a coma for a long time, after waking up, it was like a different person. In the past, she didn't let her eyebrows go, where would she cry at every turn like this?
Fortunately, their worries are unfounded.
After noon, the sun gradually set in the west, and it was almost dusk, and finally I heard the little girl at the door, and I was happy to report.
"Lord Yun! What a happy event! Lord Duan and his group are back! ”
Shui Mai's voice trembled and asked, "What about the sky?" Did you come back with you? ”
The little girl's smile remained unchanged: "Young Master Chu is also here, and there are many people in the group." ”
The people of Chutian Kuoji have their own natural appearance, and after all, they were not beheaded and returned safely. This is really great news, and it makes their hearts almost boil.
As soon as the little servant finished speaking, they were very excited and went out.
In an instant, everyone rushed in the direction of the gate.
The person who is most happy should be the water vein. She stood up and couldn't help but say that she was about to leave. But because his body was still weak, his steps were slightly shaky, like a drunk walking, and like a child's toddler.
She couldn't help but frown and gritted her teeth. The joy in her heart finally overcame the shortcomings of her body, and no matter what, it couldn't stop her from going to welcome him back.
Lu Cai'er and Lan Ayayu cooperated tacitly, followed behind the water vein, and walked for a short distance, seeing that her walking pace was unsteady, they had to move forward together, and one person supported her.
Seeing that the two of them scrambled over and helped themselves up, Shui Wei was very uncomfortable. At the beginning, she broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and was fearless in the face of dozens of Prime Minister's House guards. Now, it has been reduced to the point that you have to be supported when you walk. How does this make her heart not uncomfortable? How can she bear her self-esteem?
If she was supported by Chu Tiankuo, she would be very happy. Yes, the people who supported her were only limited to Chu Tiankuo, and that was the easiest way for her to get close to him.
However, now she wants to see Chu Tiankuo, but she sees the person she loves the most, and she goes to see the person she misses in her heart. Let the two of them help them go, it is inevitably a little embarrassing.
At this time, Shui Mai stopped and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ayatama, Cai'er, I can do it myself, let me go by myself." ”
Lan Ayayu and Lu Cai'er glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and both shook their heads and did not let go.
Shui Mai was very embarrassed, she thought that the nail wound on her body was almost healed. How can she be supported all the time?
Deep in her heart, she longed to see Chu Tiankuo and wanted to give him a good image. She didn't want him to come back and see her sickly again. She didn't want him to worry.
After a while, the water veins stood there, refusing to take a step.
Lan Aya Yu and Lu Cai'er had no choice but to let her go and let her go alone. At this moment, they all felt that the water vein was still the same as the original water vein, just as assertive and strong.
In this way, Lan Ayayu and Lu Cai'er accompanied Shui Mai together, and did not support her anymore, but slowed down and went to the gate of Dali Temple to welcome Chu Tiankuo and them back.
Before the three of them reached the gate, they met Duan Zisheng and his group, coming towards them.
When Shui Wei saw Chu Tiankuo again, he saw Chu Tiankuo wearing a prison uniform and walking in the team. At that moment, all that poured into her heart was hope. He's fine, he's alive. Although he was wearing prison uniforms, he was better alive than anything else.
The next moment, when Shui Wei saw that the person standing next to Chu Tiankuo was smoke, her heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle. For her, what attracted more attention than the prison uniform was that Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang walked side by side.
Shui Pulse keenly noticed that the two of them were so consistent in their steps. At that moment, she felt like an outsider, and even, she felt that she shouldn't be here.
She blinked her moist eyes and turned to head to the guest room. She didn't know why she had become so sensitive. Obviously, from yesterday to noon today, she was worried about Chu Tiankuo's safety. Just now, before she got the news of his safety, she couldn't stop worrying.
When the little girl came to report, her heart jumped out of her chest with joy.
And when she saw him in person, she was overjoyed. However, when she saw him walking with Yanxiang, her heart ached irrepressibly. Even she didn't understand what was going on.
She secretly laughed at herself inexplicably, as long as the others were okay, she was satisfied, wasn't she? But why, there is dissatisfaction in my heart?
At the same time as Shui Mai turned around, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Sister Shui Mai!" ”
The water vein paused, and turned around with difficulty. She saw the team on the opposite side, and the momentum was huge.
Duan Zisheng and Yun Bai, two high-ranking officials of Dali Temple, walked in front of the team and were discussing.
"Master Duan, this is really good! Xiaguan is not suitable for the position of Dali Siqing, and it is best to give Duan Zisheng back. ”
"Lord Yun, be humble. You are young and promising, and you will surely achieve great things in the future. ”
Hey? Shui Mai looked at it, Yanxiang was obviously walking with Chu Tiankuo, how did he run behind Dongfang Hong in the blink of an eye?
In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.
After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.
"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."
"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”
This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.
Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.
She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.
At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.
Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.
Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”
"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.
Xu Guifei fainted.
The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.
After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.
In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.
Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.
In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.
For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.
Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.
Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.
"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.
