After a slight smile, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't want to save you for this, you don't have to think about repaying it, I appreciate your kindness." ”

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Shen Huo couldn't insist on it, so he only pressed this kindness in his heart. He suddenly thought that there were still many matters in the palace that had not been dealt with, so he was a little anxious, and hurriedly looked at Lin Qingyuan, saying that he wanted to return to the palace.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have been seriously injured and have not recovered yet, so let's recuperate for a few days before going back." Otherwise, I am afraid that it will leave a dark wound, which will not be good for you in the future. ”

What he said was reasonable, Shen Huo thought about it in his heart after hearing it, and had no choice but to agree. After he should go down, he can take care to look at the surrounding scene. After looking at the environment he was in, Shen Huo was slightly stunned.

Shen Huo thought for a moment in his heart, then he considered the words and said to Lin Qingyuan: "Speaking of which, I still don't know the identity of Engong, I don't know if Engong can tell me?" ”

"It was also my negligence." Lin Qingyuan smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is Xuanwu Village. And in the next Bucai, it is Lin Qingyuan, the owner of this Xuanwu Village. ”

Hearing this, Shen Huo couldn't help but be a little stunned. He thought that the last time he was poisoned, it was the medicine given by Xuanwuzhuang and the medical saint, so he was relieved and survived. I didn't expect it to be saved by Xuanwuzhuang again this time.

Thinking of this, Shen Huo couldn't help but wonder a little, why did Lin Qingyuan repeatedly rescue? Judging from his memory, he has no intersection with Xuanwuzhuang. Shen Huo was full of doubts in his heart, so he asked this doubt and told Lin Qingyuan one by one.

After Shen Huo asked, Lin Qingyuan was silent for a while, and only replied that he didn't want to make someone sad, and didn't say a word about the rest.

When Shen Huo heard this, he didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more and didn't care.

What Shen Huo didn't know was that the palace had already exploded at this time. The dignified prince disappeared, and it was only rumored in the palace that the prince was missing, but no one knew when he left the palace and where he went.

The emperor was furious, punished the subordinates of the East Palace, and sent people to search in the city, He Suoyi and Chu He were also in a hurry, and repaired the book to let their respective fathers send people to search in the city.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed. In the past three days, He Suoyi and Chu He have been searching for Shen Huo's figure, but they have found nothing.

Although the two are at odds with each other on weekdays, in the face of such a problem, they work together unexpectedly. The forces on both sides are moving separately, almost all of them, for the sake of only one person.

However, after all these days, Shen Huo has not been traced. Rao is two of them are confident that Shen Huo will never have any accidents, and at this time, he can't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

Because there is no owner in the East Palace these days, it is a scene of panic and depression. Wu Wangfu is showing a bit of prosperity, and it is even more vigorous than before.

After learning that Shen Huo was buried in the mountain, Gu Zhiheng and the others were still a little suspicious at first, worried that Shen Huo was not dead, and he would fall short. For three days in a row, there was no trace of Shen Huo, and the two of them put their minds at ease, knowing that they probably didn't have to worry about this matter in the future.

As soon as Shen Huo was gone, the position of the crown prince naturally became vacant.

Facing the position of the crown prince that is almost within reach, the two of them don't say it on the surface, and the joy in their hearts can't be hidden. At this time, they were sitting opposite each other, chatting about the matter.

He Nuanliang opened his mouth first, looked at Gu Zhiheng and smiled lightly, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness." Now that Shen Huo is gone, you want to ascend to the position of the crown prince, which is within reach. ”

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, so don't talk nonsense about this matter yet." Hearing He Nuanliang's words, Gu Zhiheng was naturally happy in his heart, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was proud, but his mouth was just a school of prevarication.

Gu Zhiheng said this, He Nuanliang didn't say much about it, and just changed the topic.

"Your Highness, the concubine has an idea in her heart, and she thinks it's not bad. If you are free right now, why don't you listen to the concubine and talk about it? He Nuanliang thought about it, and said with Gu Zhiheng after considering the words.

"What's a good idea? Liang'er, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Although the crown prince is gone, the emperor still has some hope for him. In that case, we might as well add a fire. He Nuanliang didn't shirk and twisted, but only put out the thoughts in his heart with Gu Zhiheng.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiheng only thought about it in his heart for a moment, and almost didn't hesitate, so he said to He Nuanliang: "Liang'er's idea is really good. It's just that this fire is too quick to increase and one point is too slow, and I don't know how to add it. ”

How to push the emperor to decide to give up Shen Huo and set up another prince, He Nuanliang already had a little plan in his heart for this matter, and said with a smile: "The concubine also has some ideas in her body and mind. ”

"It's hard to scream alone. It is better for His Royal Highness to secretly unite a number of ministers, and in the court tomorrow, he said that the prince was missing, and after looking for three days, there was no news, which may have happened to him. ”

He Nuanliang paused, and then said the point, "Not only that. The ministers also had to say that the current vacancy in the position of the prince was really harmful to the country, and the prince needed to be re-established as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, He Nuanliang stopped talking, raised his face, and looked at Gu Zhiheng with some confidence, as if he felt that Gu Zhiheng would definitely adopt his suggestion.

Sure enough, Gu Zhiheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud, looked at He Nuan and said with a cool smile: "Liang'er is really smart, such an idea really makes this king look at you with admiration." ”

"Your Highness has praised falsely, the concubine is dull, if you can do your best to share some worries for Your Highness, then the concubine will be satisfied." Listening to Gu Zhiheng's words, He Nuan's cool eyes showed a gentle smile and said softly.

Gu Zhiheng smiled lightly, with some gratitude in his eyes, and stepped forward to hug He Nuanliang.

"This king has such a virtuous help as Liang'er, it is really a blessing in his life." Sensing the warmth coming from his body, He Nuanliang was stunned for a moment, and then cautiously stretched out his hand, hugging Gu Zhiheng instead, as if holding a fragile treasure.

The two hugged for a while, and then separated. Thinking that tomorrow in the court, I would have to make more arrangements, so I no longer stuck to the love of my children, but went to prepare in a hurry.

After about a day of intense preparations, the two finally prepared for a close match. Seeing that they were almost ready, the two of them reluctantly put their minds at ease and went back to the room to rest together.

Early the next morning. The court, which should be quiet, has a surging smell at this time. There is no other reason, but the people of Gu Zhiheng's faction have played a role, and they have come to the emperor one by one according to the remarks made by He Nuanliang yesterday in the court.

Listening to the advice of the ministers, and thinking that Shen Huo had not been found for three days, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little moved.

As the ministers said, the position of the prince must not be vacant. At present, the prince has been missing for a long time, and it is unpredictable. It is better to follow the advice of the ministers and set up another prince, and then there will be changes.

Because the emperor only has two sons, Gu Zhiheng and Shen Huo, and now that Shen Huo is missing, only Gu Zhiheng is left. Thinking of this, the emperor was about to make an order to set up Gu Zhiheng as the crown prince.

Gu Zhiheng, who was standing above the court, kept his eyes on the emperor tightly, secretly observing his reaction. Seeing that the emperor's expression seemed to be loose, Gu Zhiheng secretly clenched his fists and was overjoyed.

Seeing that the emperor was just about to speak, a female voice came from outside. The female voice was very anxious, and said straightly: "Wait! ”

Attracted by this female voice, all the ministers and the emperor turned their eyes to the outside of the hall for a while. I saw the queen hurriedly walking up the steps, looking a little anxious, and walked straight in the direction of the emperor.

She walked straight to the court, and didn't care about the eyes of the ministers, first bowed slightly, and saluted the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have just heard some news, and I don't know if it's true or not, I want to confirm with you." ”

These days, in order to find Shen Huo, the queen has not closed her eyes for almost three days, and her face is darker and haggard than before. At this time, he saluted the emperor, and before he said anything, he had a bit of a sick-like taste.

Rao is emperor has never been very fond of the queen, looking at her like this, the emperor can no longer bear to blame her for disturbing the order of the court, only frowned slightly, and asked, "What news?" ”

"This news is not true, the concubine heard that the emperor has the intention of setting up another prince, and she only thinks that the person who said this is ridiculous." The queen did not say it directly, but cleverly made a detour.

"Today's saint is a rare king, who has always governed the country and the people, and taught his subordinates well. The matter of setting up another prince is very important, even if the prince encounters an accident now, the dignified prince of Zhou, who does not see anyone dead or dead, how can he just set up another prince? ”

Speaking of this, the queen's voice paused subtly: "Naturally, the concubine believes that the emperor is wise and martial, and will never make such a mistake." You should have heard a joke, and the concubine bothered you. ”

The emperor's decree has not yet been spoken, it is still in the making, and when he heard the queen's words at first glance, he was even a little hesitant. The emperor was grateful to the queen for taking care of his face, and he was praised by the queen for being happy, so he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Looking at the emperor's contemplative expression, the queen's heart moved, and she hurriedly handed the color to several ministers around her. These ministers were all supporters of Shen Huo, and when they saw the queen's expression, they also echoed it.

Naturally, all they said was to praise the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, but some villains wanted to use this incident to tarnish the emperor's reputation. Gu Zhiheng on the side was so blue that his face turned blue when he heard this, but he didn't dare to do more side movements, so he could only stand quietly on the side.

After many persuasions by the queen and the ministers, the emperor felt that it was reasonable, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and instead sent additional soldiers and horses to find Shen Huo with all his might.
