Chapter Eighty-Eight: Disguise
After Wang Liao finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and nodded to the imperial doctor, "Come in, the carriage is very spacious, but the princess is now in a coma and can't move." ”
"Yes, faux pas." The Imperial Physician carefully climbed into the carriage, lifted the curtain and bent in.
In Jiu Yao's opinion, everything is reasonable, there are no mistakes, this imperial doctor has just received his own instructions, as long as he is not stupid, he should be able to understand what he means. As long as Princess Liao's physical problems are solved, now, this King Liao should have no other reason not to enter the palace, right?
"It's a little strange, by the way, what about the guards who went to ask for the imperial doctor?"
"The guard's horse was ridden by the doctor, and must have been on its way over."
Jiu Yao turned his head and glanced at the two ministers who were whispering, the ministers were startled, closed their mouths together, and stood obediently with their hands down.
In the carriage, the imperial physician put his hand on Princess Liao's wrist and closed his eyes to check the pulse.
"How long is your queen mother pregnant?"
"Back to His Royal Highness King Liao, the queen mother had a pregnancy ten years ago, and then she had a miscarriage due to an accident, and she can no longer have children."
"What......" Princess Liao bounced up, and was quickly pressed down by Ming Yuenan, and covered her mouth.
Ming Yuenan glanced at Princess Liao with a serious gaze, and then looked at the imperial doctor, "Then your queen mother, are you okay at the moment?" ”
The imperial doctor opened his eyes, slowly raised his head, shook his head with a heavy face, and said, "The queen mother didn't survive until today, and she passed away the day before yesterday......"
Ming Yuenan's eyes opened fiercely, and slowly shrank back, Princess Liao gasped, and stared for a long time without moving.
Hua Zhinian stretched out his hand towards the imperial doctor, his voice cautious and anxious, "She hasn't left the city yet?" Why are you still in the city? Isn't there a secret way to escape? ”
The Imperial Physician turned his head and said in the same low voice, "His Royal Highness Shura is mentally unstable, and he wants to save the country from fire and water, and this action is only to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness King Liao." Your Majesty has now disguised himself and blended into the people, if King Liao is killed, His Majesty will definitely take action. ”
Hua Zhinian frowned, and suddenly turned to Ming Yuenan, "His Royal Highness King Liao, you can't go any further, Emperor Shuo must have some plan!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Liao, everything Emperor Shuo said is just to trick you into the palace, once you enter the palace, you will never be able to come out again, Emperor Shuo has been controlled, and Shuo Guo is about to be included in the hands of others, if Chen Guo attacks this time, I am afraid that it is in line with the intentions of the people behind it."
Ming Yuenan slowly recovered from her emotions, stared at the imperial doctor and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The Imperial Physician bowed his head and bowed, "Below is the person of His Majesty the Cloud Emperor, named Wei Ting!" ”
"I see, do you know less flowers?" Ming Yuenan turned to Hua Zhinian again, Hua Zhinian nodded, and did not shy away from it, "Emperor Yun is my best friend, and she is also my junior sister, she is very strategic, she must have guessed Emperor Shuo's plan, so she arranged this action in advance." His Royal Highness King Liao, you must try to leave, and you can't be controlled by Emperor Shuo. ”
Ming Yuenan's face was very ugly, and she supported Princess Liao, who was already crying silently, and said in a firm tone, "Emperor Shuo has completely offended this king this time, and when this king goes back to report to the emperor's brother, he must let him pay for his blood debts!" ”
Wei Ting sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, as His Majesty said, King Liao must not be angry after learning the truth, but fortunately, he still has reason and will not go to Emperor Shuo for revenge on the spot.
"The story of the queen's life is a long story, Your Majesty ordered that His Royal Highness King Liao must go back safely, and I hope that His Royal Highness King Liao and Princess Liao will cooperate more, that Emperor Shuo is cunning and insidious by nature, and he must be more careful between his words."
Hua Zhinian always frowned, and there was more worry in his eyes, "You can't stay here for a long time, go out and deal with it quickly, King Liao has me here, and I will protect them." ”
"Thank you for the flowers!"
Wei Ting straightened his clothes, calmly stepped out of the carriage, and got out of the carriage with the support of the guards. The guard touched his arm and noticed something unusual, but at this time, Ming Yuenan's voice came from the car, "Princess Liao's breath is unstable, it is really not suitable to continue to hurry, there is a cool place nearby, first settle here to rest, and wait for Princess Liao to ease up before entering the city." ”
The guard glanced at Wei Ting again, and Wei Ting calmly got out of the car and walked towards the city gate.
"Yes!" The guard only said that King Liao knew, so he turned around and prepared to leave to pass the word, but was stopped by King Liao's voice again, "Also, tell Emperor Shuo that this king really misses the imperial sister, if the imperial sister is fine, it is better to carry it over in a sedan chair, and it will relieve our longing pain." ”
The guard blinked suspiciously, and took the order again.
Jiu Yao waited for a long time, only to see that the imperial doctor walked back unhurriedly, and thought that Princess Liao was fine, so he was relieved a lot, this time there should be no delay, right?
"Your Majesty, Princess Liao is fine, but she has suffered some hardships after a long journey, and she has not adapted to our climate, as long as she rests, she can be relieved."
"Hmm...... Has His Royal Highness King Liao asked about the queen's mother? Jiu Yao nodded, and asked again, as if unintentionally.
"His Royal Highness King Liao is worried about the queen's mother, and once asked how many months the queen's mother is now pregnant, and the minister roughly calculated, the queen's mother is now four months pregnant." Wei Ting slowly and methodically talked nonsense, but Jiu Yao nodded with satisfaction, he was still a brain, "Okay, you go down first!" ”
"Yes."
Soon, the guards who passed the word also came back, and said what King Liao meant, Jiu Yao raised his eyebrows, quite dissatisfied, "I said that the queen mother is not easy to move, why do you have to use a sedan chair to carry it over?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a guard running from Chen Guo's team, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Liao just said again, thinking that the queen's health is really inconvenient, so I won't bother her to make a big move, but Princess Liao seems to have to rest for an hour or two to be good, Your Majesty is noble, it is better to go back first, there are so many court officials waiting for enough." ”
Hearing this, Jiu Yao chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry about me, take a good look at Princess Liao!" ”
Joke, what he wants to do is only known to him, it is unreliable for the hundred officials present to be handed over to anyone, he has to ensure that King Liao enters the palace.
So, as the sun grew, the envoys of the State of Chen found a forest farther away than Sanli, saying that Princess Liao had to rest in the shade, so they set up tents in the forest, and a few carriages slowly went farther away, and went to rest in the forest.
At the city gate, there was still this gorgeous welcoming procession, Jiu Yao was lying comfortably in the chariot, there were a few maids fanning the wind, and some maids were holding fruit snacks, so comfortable. It's just that those officials are suffering, all of them have the sun on their heads, and the sweat is drilling into their eyes.
Seeing that time was slowly passing, some of the officials couldn't stand still, and they were anxious and wanted to send someone to see the situation of Princess Liao.
It was at this moment that Jiu Yao suddenly remembered something, and suddenly got up, his eyes were cold and terrifying, "What about the guards who went to ask the imperial doctor?" ”
All the ministers were also shocked when they heard this, looked left and right, and shook their heads one after another.
"It's been so long and you haven't come back?"
Jiu Yao simply summoned the head of the guard, and learned that the guard had indeed never returned.
"Go, send someone to call me the guard just now."
Only this time, the guards who went to call people came back quickly, and they were even a little panicked, "Your Majesty, the Tai Hospital said that no one went to ask for a Tai Doctor just now!" ”
Jiu Yao's face darkened for a moment, his eyes turned to the outside of the city, and he slapped the handrail, "Let's go, I want to go and see what the situation is with Princess Liao in person!" ”
All the ministers also cheered up, and in the sound of the great eunuch's "start driving", they all followed behind the chariot and walked together to the messenger procession three miles away.
"Your Majesty." Ma Yong saluted Jiu Yao without humility or arrogance, and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness King Liao feels sorry for Princess Liao, and has moved to that forest to rest, Your Majesty, don't go over in person, right?" ”
"If I don't go and see it myself, how can I show the importance of Princess Liao? After all, it's the queen's sister-in-law, isn't it? ”
Jiu Yao gritted his teeth a little when he said this, he now had a strong premonition in his heart, King Liao and Princess Liao must have gotten the news of the person who pretended to be the imperial doctor just now, and took the opportunity to escape!
"Hmph, abandon the pawn to protect the car? It depends on whether you can run away or not! ”
Jiu Yao's eyes were cold and vicious, like sharp arrows quenched with poison, only for such a little time, no matter how powerful the Liao Wang couple was, it would be impossible to run far!
In the woods full of insects and birds, several simple tents sat under the big trees in an encirclement, Jiu Yao came by chariot, but was blocked from the forest by trees that were not enough to evacuate, and only vaguely saw the tents and a few figures in the forest.
"Your Majesty, in front of you is the resting place of His Royal Highness King Liao and Princess Liao." The great eunuch reminded him.
Jiu Yao squinted and looked at it, there were many figures in the forest, and he couldn't tell whether Liao Wang Mingyuenan was among them, and it was possible that in order to facilitate Princess Liao's rest, they were still sitting in the tent!
However, as long as the person doesn't run, it's good, even if he knows each other, after all, it is in the territory of Shuo, or under his nose, and it is expected that they will have nowhere to escape.
Jiuyao smiled evilly, got off the wheel, and raised his voice, "Okay, I will personally go to visit Princess Liao and express my condolences for the queen." ”
"Your Majesty, be careful." The great eunuch held Jiuyao in his arms, and another team of guards opened the way in front, cutting off all the branches and thorns that stood in front and throwing them aside, and the group walked into the depths of the forest with a lot of movement.
The ministers followed behind, looking at each other, they had been sunburned all day, covered in sweat, and now they want to burrow into the forest? Your Majesty, why bother!
Except for the two teams of guards escorting Jiu Yao inside, everyone else stopped silently, especially the ministers, who didn't want to go any more now. In their eyes, as long as Jiu Yao didn't look back at them, that meant letting them wait outside.
"Your Majesty Emperor Shuo, Princess Liao is recuperating and is not suitable to see people."
Jiu Yao paused and looked forward, the little guard calmly blocked in front of their group, not backing down at all.
