Chapter 16: The King of the Southern Capital
The early morning sun, but because it was the height of summer, showed enough domineering, and the ground was roasted hot.
"Hey, I said you don't know me? I'm Shen Qingyang, the royal doctor of your prince, now let's see why your princess won't let me in? After arguing a few times, Shen Qingyang was already sweating profusely, but the guards still stood in front of him with their heads down and refused to give in.
"The prince didn't command?" The guard replied.
"Did the prince tell me not to see the princess?"
The guard was stunned, "Thisβno." β
"Isn't that the end of it? The prince didn't say he wouldn't let me see it, why are you stopping me? Hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise something will happen to your princess, and it won't be easy to cut off my head. As he spoke, he pushed the guards away and was about to pass, but the guards still refused to take half a step.
The scorching sun shone on his body, and the anger in his heart also rose.
Shen Qingyang gasped for breath and fanned the wind with his hand, "I said, why are you so brainless?" What day is it? Didn't I come here at the invitation of your prince? "Okay, just lie, let's lie, it doesn't matter, in short, Jiang Ruixuan doesn't dare to do anything to him now, at most, he will be scolded, and he won't lose a piece of meat.
"Did the prince ask you to come?"
"Of course? When did I come and was not invited by your prince? Shen Qingyang rolled his eyes.
The guards looked at each other, and it was clear that he was not convincing. "The prince ordered that we must take good care of the princess, otherwise all of us will be punished by the nine clans."
Zhu Jiu Clan! Shen Qingyang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. I can only sigh silently in my heart: Okay, that kid is crazy. So it's all the more necessary for him to go and see 'Tang Woe Shui', oh, no, it's 'Tang Hongyan'.
"Do you want to be punished by the Nine Clans?"
"Of course."
"Let me go in and show your princess her body, otherwise you will be sentenced to the Nine Clans, or let them go in with me, so you can rest assured, right?" Shen Qingyang pointed to the maids standing in the corridor.
Everyone thought for a moment before reluctantly giving up a small path.
Shen Qingyang immediately rushed in, came directly to the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door, there was no reaction in the room, and was about to ask, but the maid spoke.
"The princess was carried in by the prince, and I'm afraid she's still sleeping at this time." The maid said cautiously.
Came in with a hug? Shen Qingyang didn't talk nonsense, pushed the door and entered, and saw Tang Ruyan lying on the soft couch with a good look, and the stone in his heart was put down. walked over and looked at Tang Ruyan's complexion, and took her pulse again.
"Strange, strange." While checking the pulse, Shen Qingyang muttered, his brows were about to be twisted into a rope, "No, how can this be?" It doesn't make sense. β
"Hmm!" Tang Ruyan made a slight sound, his long eyelashes moved, he slowly opened his eyes, adjusted the focus, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Reflexively, he withdrew his hand and hugged it to his chest.
Shen Qingyang had a deflated expression. "Are you awake?" When he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he smiled and laughed. "Said the wrong thing, it's the princess, are you awake, princess?"
Tang Ruyan glared at Shen Qingyang fiercely, and turned his head to look at the maid next to him, "Who let him in?" Don't you see I'm resting? β
"The princess is angry!" The maids knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and begged for mercy. "It was Shen Gongzi who insisted on coming in, saying that the prince asked him to see the princess."
Tang Ruyan waved his hand to let the maids withdraw, and it wasn't until they went out that they turned their heads to look at Shen Qingyang, and said lukewarmly: "I don't know how the great divine doctor looks?" How many days can the water survive? β
With such a straightforward ridicule, Shen Qingyang's face turned blue and white for a while, put away the smile on his face, looked at Tang Ruyan carefully, and said after a long time: "I have lost my memory, and my speech is clever." Still don't know which one is the real you? β
Tang Ruyan sneered: "It doesn't matter, I didn't know what happened before, but now, I won't let people bully me casually." β
"Bully?!" Shen Qingyang's voice couldn't help but raise, looking at Tang Ruyan like a monster, "I said princess, you're not mistaken, have you forgotten that my son is suave, handsome and chic, but he is respectful of a troublesome creature like a woman." β
"Oh, so you have a habit of breaking sleeves?" Tang Ruyan chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes, only indifference, boundless indifference, a sentence choked Shen Qingyang almost sucked, and before he could reply, he continued: "Okay, when I told a cold joke." The Great Doctor hasn't answered my question yet? How long will this princess live? β
Shen Qingyang looked at Tang Ruyan and shook his head intuitively.
What kind of miracle doctor, it seems that this person is nothing more than that, the letter makes it clear, leave her for the time being, her chess piece has not come in handy, how can she die? Therefore, I am still confident that she is alive.
"Your veins are like a mess." Shen Qingyang pretended to be mysterious, and squinted at Tang Ruyan, "Hey, have you seen it?" I just can't figure it out, how did it become the way it is now, when it should be fine? Hey, you must know that your life is closely related to my life, and if you die, the madman will definitely bury me with me. β
Shen Qingyang thumped his chest, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Tang Ruyan.
"Since ancient times, it is reasonable for you to die, but if I am buried with a genius of heaven, God will not allow it, so even if I leave you a breath, I have to let you live."
"I haven't seen a genius in Tianzhong, but I've seen one in Tianzhong."
"Where?"
Tang Ruyan chuckled, the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Qingyang came to his senses, and his face immediately turned red, "Okay, you Tang Ruyan, you see how this son poisons you, see if you can still speak so fast in the future?" β
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Tang Ruyan's arm.
A cold light flashed in Tang Ruyan's eyes, her arm was raised with her backhand, and a force was swung out, and before she could react, Shen Qingyang was pushed out by her sleeve and fell to the ground.
"Ah~" A miserable scream came out, Shen Qingyang touched his buttocks that was about to fall into two pieces, and screamed, and the maids and guards outside the door hurriedly rushed over when they heard the sound, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker when they saw the scene in the room.
"Don't send off yet?" Tang Ruyan said coldly, everyone immediately stopped laughing, and after coming in to salute, they 'helped' Shen Qingyang to walk outside, and the person who walked at the back covered the door.
Tang Ruyan got down from the soft couch, moved his muscles and bones, felt a little sore, his head was a little dizzy, poured a glass of cold water and drank it to feel better, and then went back to lie on the soft couch.
Looking at the empty ceiling, Tang Ruyan fell into deep thought. 'Reincarnation' was sent from the imperial concubine, so the antidote was only available to her, not to mention that she didn't know the palace, even if she was familiar with it, it would be difficult to find the preparation method of the antidote.
And then things get tricky.
In the palace, it was very lively, and the sound of cheerful instrumental music resounded throughout the palace.
The Xuanyuan Hall was even more crowded, with civil and military officials dressed in various official uniforms and luxuriously dressed female dependents all with the same smile on their faces.
On the dragon chair in front of him, Jiang Hong, the emperor of the Hongtu Dynasty, sat on it, although he was not confused, but the majestic aura exuded by his body was admirable, with a well-defined face with unconcealed joy, and a pair of eyes were blazing, as if he could see through the thoughts of others with just one glance.
"Your Majesty!" The woman sitting below him reminded softly, the smile on her face was also just right, her delicate facial features, although she was no longer young, she was more calm and calm, and a phoenix robe showed her noble identity, which was Queen Su Xueyu.
Jiang Hong didn't turn his head, only raised his hand, Su Xueyu smiled and stopped talking, the corner of his eye swept over the woman sitting on Jiang Hong's lower left, and a trace of fierceness flashed.
Shen Mo was indifferent to a lilac suit, with a beautiful face that envied everyone present, and it was she who had achieved a good story of the emperor's favor for more than 20 years, and such a red face was Jiang Ruixuan's mother. Facing the resentful gaze from the other side, she did not raise her head, she was used to this, not to mention that on such an occasion, the queen would never ignore the general situation.
"Concubine Mo, hasn't Xuan'er arrived yet?" Jiang Hong turned his head to look at Shen Momo, his eyes full of love.
"Back to the emperor, it should be almost there, I'll let people take a look." A voice like a clear spring sounded, Shen Momo turned around and whispered a few words to her personal maid after speaking, and the maid left after saluting.
"Hmph, what a mother! The reputation is not high, but the shelf is big enough. Su Xueyu's voice was low, but the people nearby were enough to hear it.
Shen Momo smiled silently, Jiang Hong coughed lowly, and handed Su Xueyu a warning look, Su Xueyu had to shut up, and his sharp eyes scraped Shen Momo's face again.
At this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded. "The king of the southern capital came to congratulate him."
The expression on Jiang Hong's face froze slightly, and his deep eyes swept in the direction of the main hall, only to see a group of more than a dozen people standing outside.
"The king of the southern capital has come from afar, so please don't hurry up." A calm and polite voice sounded, and Jiang Hong looked at the visiting guests with a smile. The action was really fast, three days earlier than expected.
With that quick invitation, the lively hall instantly quieted down, and consciously retreated to both sides, leaving a path in the middle.
A group of more than a dozen people entered the main hall.
"Tang Lan, the monarch of the Southern Capital, has seen the emperor, and a small congratulatory gift is presented, and he hopes to accept it with a smile." Tang Lan stood at the front to greet the king, wearing a Baohua-colored robe to set off his fair complexion more and more white, and his delicate facial features had a soft atmosphere, giving people an approachable feeling.
"Why should the king of the southern capital be so polite, come here, give me a seat quickly!" Jiang Hong waved his hand, and immediately two guards carried a chair and placed it at the front of the main hall, and Tang Lan sat down after saluting in return.
After sitting down, Tang Lan glanced at the two empty seats opposite, looked at Jiang Hong and said with a smile: "It seems that I, a visitor from afar, came quite early, may I ask the emperor, when will the birthday celebration start?" β
Jiang Hong's face turned white in an instant, Jiang was still old and spicy, and he smiled and said, "The auspicious time starts." Come on, let's go and see how the little prince is prepared? Today he is the protagonist. β
Tang Lan smiled and hurriedly said yes.
