Hearing Qiu Duwei's words, the prince glanced at Qiu Duwei up and down, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake. Moreover, Captain Qiu has a lot of face in the Imperial Forest Army, although he has no contact with him on weekdays, he is often seen. Now that the people came to the front, they remembered that they had indeed seen it, and there was no doubt that the old man in the Imperial Forest Army.

"Wechen meets His Royal Highness the Prince." Qiu Changlin saw the prince at this time, and he was busy giving a salute.

When the news of Princess Huangyi's murder came, he didn't see the people they sent out to send the princess back, and he felt guilty in his heart. I felt that I had chosen them and sent them to their death with my own hands. Those who are soldiers are naturally not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the death of the nest, and they are afraid that the death is not worth it. To die for the king and the country is to die a well-deserved death. I don't understand that I was harmed by sweat medicine, but I didn't see it.

When I was sad, I suddenly saw the aquatic life, how could I not be surprised?

He asked the prince to say goodbye, and the prince told him to get up, and his attention went to Jiang Shuisheng again. Whispered, "What the hell is going on?" Who else came back with you? ”

When the prince saw this, he knew that Jiang Shuisheng's identity was true. said to Li Zhonggui with confidence: "Go and pass it on." ”

"Yes."

Li Zhonggui arrived at the door and said softly, "Your Majesty...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his close attendant General Qiu asked to see him. ”

There was just a song in it, and the emperor and Zhao Concubine were talking to Bai Yingluo. Although Li Zhonggui's voice was low, it was also clear. The emperor waved his hand and ordered Bai Yingluo to retreat.

Zhao E also got up busily and said to avoid suspicion: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have serious matters to discuss, and the concubines dare not bother." ”

The emperor nodded and allowed her to leave.

As soon as she thought of the crown prince, Zhao E felt panicked. Fortunately, the emperor is an open-minded person, and he will not feel unhappy to see her because of the fact that she and the prince could not marry her before. Isn't she awake herself? Don't let the emperor think of this stubble again.

Zhao E took the first step and went out of the room before Bai Yingluo, and just happened to bump into the prince head-on.

He gave a salute to the crown prince: "Your Highness." ”

The prince nodded, turned sideways, and made way for her.

Now Zhao E is just a concubine, he, as a prince, can be respectful if he wants to, and there is nothing wrong with not being respectful. If one day, she, Concubine Zhao, becomes Concubine Zhao, it will not be good when they meet. As a junior, he can only give gifts to Concubine Zhao. Now that he has made way for her sideways, it can be regarded as giving her face.

Zhao E didn't hold it up, and walked over with her head down. After walking a few steps, he walked forward with his head held high.

The prince took Qiu Duwei and Jiang Shuisheng into the Qianqing Palace, and went to the small study on the left to greet the emperor.

The emperor's eyes fell on Jiang Shuisheng and asked the prince, "Who is this?" How did you get to this situation? ”

He was dressed in what looked like the robes of the Imperial Guards, but his chest and abdomen were wrapped in white cloth, and his clothes were covered with dust, and the color was not very recognizable. He was shackled again, and he thought that the prince had brought a prisoner over.

The prince said: "Father, this is one of the guards who sent the seventh sister to the Thunder Country, and he fled for his life. This morning, Erchen returned home from the Yang Palace, and when he saw him waiting outside Erchen's Mansion, he called him in and inquired carefully, and felt that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to make up his own mind. So he brought people in, and his father personally inquired about them. When I arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, I saw that my father was listening to the music, and I didn't dare to sweep my father's Yaxing, so I thought that since I was a person close to the camp, I should also call General Qiu to come over. ”

The prince made a detailed report, and the emperor also listened carefully. Seeing that the shackles on this person's hands did not seem to have experienced wind and frost, but had just been installed, and seeing that the prince had specially called Qiu Changlin over, he knew that the prince was out of caution. I was very satisfied with the prince's carefulness, but I also felt that this soldier would feel chilled when he came back from a long journey to escape for his life, but encountered such distrustful treatment.

Seeing that his face was pale, he ordered: "Aiqing has been running all the way without rest, sit down and talk." ”

Jiang Shuisheng glanced at Qiu Duwei, thinking that his general hadn't sat yet, how could he dare to sit recklessly?

But at this time, although Qiu Changlin also wanted him to sit down and rest for a while, he didn't dare to say anything. In that case, Jiang Shuisheng sat down, was it because he listened to the emperor or listened to him?

Jiang Shuisheng excused himself and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat." It's just that Weichen's body is full of dust, and he is afraid that he will dirty the chairs of the Qianqing Palace, so he doesn't dare to sit in vain. Even if you sit down, you can't feel at ease in your heart, so it's better to stand and talk back. ”

The emperor bowed his head: "It's okay." So, tell me what's going on. ”

Jiang Shuisheng repeated what he had told the prince and what he expected that Lei Qianliu had killed Princess Huangyi when he was in the carriage.

After hearing this, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Before, I was also thinking, our Feng Country's family guards, plus those elites of the Thunder Country, even if the Fire Country wants to get something out halfway, how can they succeed...... So that's what happened. ”

And he later asked the envoy of the Thunder Kingdom, who inevitably explained the situation in too much detail, as if it had been prepared in advance, and sounded like a story. Now when I heard this little soldier say this, I felt that this matter was not bad.

First, three generations of Qiu Duwei's family have served in the Royal Forest Army, and there is no chance of colluding with foreign thieves. Even if the opportunity was sent to him, he would have no reason to do things for the Fire Nation. So if he recognizes this little soldier, the identity of this little soldier must be true.

It would be nonsense to say that this little soldier took refuge in the Fire Country and deliberately ran back to blame the Lei Country. The recruitment of soldiers in the Imperial Guards is very strict, and it is passed down from generation to generation. This little soldier can be incorporated into the close service camp, and his identity is even more accurate, and it is impossible to have anything to do with the Fire Country. Even if he agreed to the Fire Country for the sake of his life at that time, and has returned to the capital at this time, how can he continue to work for the Fire Country? It's not so stupid.

So even if you don't have to check the specific identity of this little soldier, you can know that what this little soldier said must be true.

The bottom line is that only this case makes sense. The envoy of the Thunder Country came back and talked nonsense, but he didn't believe it at all.

"Father, look at this......" The prince felt that since this person had been sent to his mansion by himself, he might as well seize this opportunity and let his father leave the arrangements for this matter to him.

"Lei Qianliu dares to insult my Fengguo like this, he must not be spared...... the emperor's face was already very heavy.

After a while, he ordered: "Lin'er, you send someone to chase after him quickly, and you must catch up with Lei Qianliu before he reaches the capital of Lei Country." I will make a decree for you, and you will have it passed on to him, so that he may come back obediently and confess his sins. ”

"Yes." The prince answered.

If Lei Qianliu can come back and confess, their Wind Country will be equivalent to grasping a handle of Lei Country, and if there is anything unwilling to help in the future, they Wind Country can only move this matter out. But if Lei Qianliu refuses to admit his guilt, it will be a blasphemy against him Fengguo and the country, and he Fengguo will definitely not spare it.

The father's move was to give Lei Qianliu a chance, if Lei Qianliu didn't want it, the consequence would be to go to war. My father has always been resolute and resolute, and he is by no means a person who is afraid of war. War, or not to fight, is just a thought of the father.

He didn't think that Lei Qianliu would be smart enough to come back obediently and admit his mistake.

Therefore, he asked very meaningfully: "Father thinks it is better for Lei Qianliu to come back to admit his mistakes, or not to come to admit his mistakes?" ”

The father said, "It's good to come back and admit your mistakes", so there is a response to come back and admit your mistakes; The father said that "it's better not to come back and admit your mistakes", and naturally there is a way for him not to come back. Just look at whether the father's heart for giving Lei Qianliu a chance is really true, in the bottom of his heart, whether he wants to fight or peace. After figuring out what my father meant, the next thing will be easier.

But the emperor said: "If you admit your mistakes, you will be treated as a child who admits your mistakes, and if you don't admit your mistakes, you will be treated without admitting your mistakes, and he will choose by himself." ”

The prince had no choice but to respond: "Yes." ”

In the bottom of my heart, I can't help but feel a little cold. In fact, he hoped that his father's move to give Lei Qianliu a chance was just a superficial effort to make the war more reasonable. He hoped that his father wanted to avenge Yi'er.

After all, it was his biological daughter, and now she was killed by Lei Qianliu, and she died an unknown death. However, just let Lei Qianliu come back and admit his mistake, and it will be fine? Shouldn't you be angry and let Lei Qianliu pay back with her life?

But my father doesn't seem to have that intention.

Even if he knew that Yi'er was really killed by Lei Qianliu, he was still calculating the entanglement of interests between the two countries, and he didn't have the blood to avenge his own daughter.

The emperor personally prepared a holy decree and handed it to the crown prince. briefly instructed the prince a few words, rewarded Jiang Shuisheng verbally, and let the people in the house retreat. The crown prince took the emperor's decree out of the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly felt that this curry favor was actually meaningless.

Even if he sold all kinds of good things in front of his father, when his father wanted to abolish him, these good children would not be of the slightest use, and his father would not even think about it. The father just felt that abolishing his position as the crown prince would be beneficial to the stability of the wind country and the stability of the imperial power, so he would not hesitate to abolish him.

The prince was worried all the way, and when he left the gate of the North Palace, he remembered to open the dark iron chain in Jiang Shuisheng's hand. Jiang Shuisheng didn't have any intention of complaining, he opened it by the prince, and respectfully bowed to the prince to say goodbye.

The prince didn't take the matter of forgetting Jiang Shuisheng to heart, got into the carriage, and the carriage went to the prince's mansion.

"Let's go, Shui Sheng will come to my house to sit down, and I will ask the family doctor in the house to give you a good pulse." Qiu Changlin put his arms around Jiang Shuisheng's neck and glanced at the gorgeous carriage, with a lot of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Jiang Shuisheng also shook his head, he was too disappointed with the treatment given to him by the prince.

……

In King Chen's mansion, King Chen was already lying on the bed sickly.

"Concubine...... Pour water for this king......" shouted to Rong Yunxi, who was sitting embroidering flowers in the small study, pulling his neck.
