Volume 1 Love and Sincerity Chapter 29 Brothers work together to unravel the poison of ice and fire
There were people in the hall, and the two quickly dodged. Listening to the voice, it seemed that Ou Suying, the two approached step by step, secretly looking at the source of the sound. Ou Suying was holding a towel and kept wiping King Qi's forehead on the bed. King Qi shrunk in the black smooth quilt, trembling all the time, and leaned his head on Ou Suying's arms, "Brother, queen mother, Hong'er is good, don't send Hong'er away, father, Hong'er is good, Hong'er doesn't want to leave." β
"Don't go, don't send Hong'er away, don't be afraid, Hong'er is good, bear with it, the medicine will be there soon." Ou Suying coaxed King Qi in a warm voice. "Hong'er is not going anywhere, it is in my arms, Hong'er is not afraid."
"What's wrong with him?" Liu Ju appeared and touched King Qi's hot forehead.
"Why are you here? Hurry up and don't get discovered. β
"Why is he so sick?" Liu Ju ignored Ou Suying's advice and focused on the seriously ill King Qi. "Hong'er, what's wrong with you?"
When King Qi saw Liu Ju, he grabbed Liu Ju's hand, "Brother, Hong'er doesn't want to go, you beg your father." β
Liu Ju hugged Liu Hong, who was babbling nonsense, "Brother is here, Hong'er won't go anywhere, I will guard you." Inquiring eyes looked at Ou Suying.
Ou Suying nervously explained, "I don't know what's wrong with him. I suddenly fell ill at dusk today, and I was chilled and talking nonsense, Zhang Shilang invited a doctor to come and see, and the doctor said to dispense medicine, but he delayed the future. Zhang Shilang only let me guard the King of Qi here alone, and no one else was allowed to enter, I have urged it several times, but the medicine has not yet come. β
"Nanxing, hide quickly, someone is coming." Bai Liqing pulled Liu Ju away, and the two hid on the beam. Zhang Shilang hurriedly came in with the box in his hand, followed by a middle-aged man in a light ink-colored robe, who was the shopkeeper he saw during the day.
Zhang Shilang opened the box, there were more than a dozen finger-sized black pills in it, pinched one and gave it to Ou Suying, "Serve Wang Shang and eat it." β
Ou Suying looked at the two of them uneasily, "Does this work?" β
"Eat it for him."
Ou Suying stuffed the medicine into King Qi's mouth, and then took the water handed by Zhang Shilang and fed it to King Qi. Not long after eating, King Qi's condition stabilized.
Seeing this, Zhang Shilang looked happy, and bowed to the doctor in the light ink-colored robe, "Thank you Shaoweng for saving me."
Ou Suying also thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you." β
"What kind of doctor, this is Shao Fangshi, Li Xianguan's senior apprentice."
Ou Suying didn't understand who the Li Xianguan mentioned in Zhang Shilang's mouth was, he had always been a famous person in this era, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Shao Fangshi."
"Get out." King Qi was already sober and expelled the two of them in a cold voice.
Ou Suying stared at King Qi cautiously, "Do you want to sleep, rest?" "I will send away those who are hidden in the temple.
"Sister Ying, were you the only one here when I was sick?"
"Everyone else is out there," Ou Suying replied.
King Qi closed his eyes and slowed down, "It feels so real, I saw my brother." β
"Huh? Don't you forbid anyone to mention it? Who said that the crown prince, or the emperor and queen, should be punished? β
"If I make a mistake, I will naturally be punished, and if I make a mistake, I will be punished like this, and once a month I will suffer the pain of ice and fire." King Qi held Ou Suying's hand and tightened it unconsciously.
"Monthly? Isn't this medicine a cure? How did you get this disease? β
"It's not a disease, it's a poison. Some people say that it was the poison given to me by my father, Sister Ying, you say that there is no such father in the world, not to mention abandoning his son far away, and killing him. β
"Father wouldn't do that." Liu Ju appeared and replied.
King Qi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, "I was really right, it's really you." β
"Hong'er, I will investigate your poisoning, and I will definitely give you an explanation. Every month, Hong'er, brother is sorry for you, I came late and made you suffer. β
"Brother" King Qi took Liu Ju's hand, "It's really you, brother, you're not dead." β
"I'm not dead, how can you think I'm dead? The hunt has nothing to do with youβno. β
"Silly Hong'er, I heard that you were sick, so I came to Qi to see you, but there was some accident, and I only met you today."
"Brother, you really came to see me, Hong'er is stupid, deceived by thieves, and put his brother in danger."
"I hated my brother for not wanting me anymore, I hated my father and queen mother for sending me away, but now that I see my brother, I miss my brother so much, I think about it so much, brother, you really remember Hong'er and come to see me."
Liu Hong hugged Liu Ju and cried.
Suffering from the poison of ice and fire, sometimes cold to the bone, sometimes hot and hot, Liu Hong didn't cry, and now he sees Liu Ju crying.
Ou Suying looked at the two brothers who hugged each other and was moved.
Bai Liqing always paid attention to the movement outside the hall.
"Prince, outsideβ"
"It's okay outside, Sister Ying, go and let everyone back away and don't disturb." King Qi commanded.
Ou Suying went to convey the words of King Qi, and sure enough, the soldiers who found the abnormality continued their patrol and walked away.
"Hong'er, tell me about your poisoning."
"Prince, shouldn't you ask King Qi about Dongyue?" Bai Liqing interjected.
As soon as Dongyue was mentioned, King Qi immediately got out of bed and knelt down, "Brother save me." β
"Hurry up, you're still sick," Liu Ju pulled King Qi up and pressed him to the bed, "You said slowly." β
"Brother, do you believe me?"
"Of course"
"Why? We haven't seen each other in a long time. β
"You are Hong'er, we have been together day and night for six years, when you were not born, I surrounded Mrs. Wang every day, asking her to give me a little brother, after you were born, I hurt you in my heart, I brought up Hong'er with one hand, how could I not believe it? Hong'er, I'm sorry, I can't do anything to leave you behind when you were sent away. β
"I understand, I blamed my brother earlier, but now that I'm older, I've figured out a lot of things." King Qi pulled Liu Ju's sleeve and recounted the pain of parting over the years.
When I first came to Linzi, I was only six years old, and I was crying all the way, and the nurse who accompanied me persuaded me and told me that I could no longer stay in Chang'an after I was crowned king, and I wanted to go to the subject country.
I wondered why my brother could stay with my father and mother, and why I was crowned king and sent away. My father and queen mother often praised me for being smart and studious, and my brother always spoiled me and treated me very well. It turned out that it was just because I was not born to the queen mother, and my mother was Mrs. Wang, so the queen mother and brother would not really love me, and when I had no ability to resist, I would send them away, stay away from Chang'an, and not compete with my brother for the crown prince.
I don't know what's so good about being the crown prince, I just know that I don't want to leave my mother, my brother, my father, and my sisters.
I began to hate my mother for treating me falsely, complaining that my birth mother died too early, and I began to miss my birth mother very much, if my birth mother was still alive, and I heard that she was very favored by my father, she would definitely beg my father to leave me behind, and would not send me away, and go far, far away.
The country of Qi is so far away, I arrived in this strange place, and I don't even remember the way back to Chang'an.
Because of the longing for my biological mother, I built the Ming Xuan Hall here according to the appearance of the Yilan Hall where my biological mother lived in my memory, and Taifu Bushi found a portrait of my biological mother for me.
But I went to the Ming Xu Hall a few times, and when I remembered the time I spent with my brother, I had no impression of my biological mother, Mrs. Wang. The secret door of the Yilan Hall was all found by my brother. Then I didn't go anymore.
I listened to Taifu Bushi's words and learned to manage the country, so I personally wrote a silk book and sent it to Chang'an, saying that I wanted to go back, but I was reprimanded by my father. Later, he didn't even receive his father's reprimand, and there was no reply.
A few months ago, I suddenly fell ill and suffered from the pain of a mixture of ice and fire, but I was rescued by Shao Weng and survived.
"I realized I wasn't sick, I was poisoned."
What was more painful than poisoning was that he wrote to Chang'an to inform his father, but his father still ignored it. I have been completely forgotten and abandoned by my parents.
"Hong'er, why do you think your father sent someone to do it?"
"I ordered someone to investigate this matter, and the people of the soup palace confessed that they were ordered by the emperor, and then committed suicide. My father was not close to me in the first place, perhaps because of my frequent letters, which annoyed him. β
"No, my father would never do that. Even if you are wrong, your father will only punish you by decree, how can you poison it in private? β
"Brother, I guess you've found out something about East Vietnam."
"I don't believe that you colluded with East Vietnam to rebel, Hong'er, you won't be so confused."
"Brother saved me, I was really just confused for a while, I knew I was wrong, I knew it was wrong when I heard that they were chasing and killing my brother. Brother, believe me, I only found out today that Dongyue was chasing and killing you. β
Liu Hong, the king of Qi, was seriously ill and still couldn't get the care of his relatives, and it happened that Dongyue came to conspire against the Han Dynasty, so Liu Hong agreed. Liu Hong had no intention of really rebelling, and he didn't believe that the little Dongyue could shake the might of the Han Dynasty, but just wanted to cause some riots and make his father and brother in Chang'an look to the east. Like a neglected child, try your best to get the attention of adults.
The Dongyue advance team came to Qi and conspired with the king of Qi and others, so that the king of Qi would place the Dongyue people in the convoy in the name of sending tribute to Chang'an, and go to Chang'an to assassinate the emperor.
"I met with the Dongyue people in Songshan a few days ago and made their purpose clear, and I already regret it." King Qi said, "Today, the people of the East Yue saw that I was retreating and unwilling to conspire with him, and told me that they had killed you, my brother. β
The crown prince Liu Ju did find traces of the Dongyue people near Songshan, and Ou Suying also told the conversation he overheard outside the palace, which corroborated what Liu Hong, the king of Qi, said.
"I have a grudge against my father and a grudge against my brother, but I never thought of killing you, and I will never kill you."
"Hong'er, I believe in you, and I will take care of this matter. You don't have to be afraid of East Vietnam. β
"But if the Dongyue people tell my father, how can my father let me? I did have a relationship with them. β
"How much does Qi know about this?"
"He didn't know it at first, but then he found out about my secret letter with Dongyue, and when he knew about it, he helped me around-"
On that day, the king of Qi came back from Songshan and brought back Ou Suying by the way, and then he was called by Qi Xiang to the front hall to discuss matters. Qi Xiangbu handed the Dongyue letter he got to the king of Qi, "Your Majesty, the thieves of Dongyue, it's not good to think about it, you can't succeed if you plot with them, if you really want to do a great cause, we still need to Taoguang to raise obscurity, and wait for the king to be crowned after you." β
"I don't want to conspire with them, but what am I going to do now?"
"Don't panic, the king has not yet found it, just pick it up, please tell the king and the minister in detail, and the minister is willing to plan for the king."
After the Dongyue people met with Qi Xiang, they knew that the king of Qi was retreating, and insisted on interviewing, telling them that the Dongyue people were not chasing and killing in Qi a few months ago, but the crown prince Liu Ju.
"As soon as the crown prince dies, King Qi, how about you as the crown prince? If we succeed in assassinating the Han Emperor, the King of Qi, as the eldest prince of the Han Emperor, will naturally be the emperor, and when the time comes, I will only be able to divide the five continents in the southeast and give me Dongyue. β
"The matter has come to this, and the king is afraid that he will not be able to get out if he wants to."
"Get out, desolate villain, and send off the guests."
Knowing that the crown prince Liu Ju was killed, he was still in his own territory and was killed by the wild wolves he had recruited, King Qi was remorseful and angry, and he was in a hurry, causing poison in his body.
"Brother, I know what I did wrong, and I have no complaints when I am punished, but Bu Xiang is innocent, and he is involved because of me."
"Brother, in the past few years in Qidi, if there is no support from each other, I am afraid that I will be even more lonely."
"I understand what you mean, Hong'er" Liu Ju comforted Liu Hong, "The matter is clear, I will stay here for a few more days and help you wipe the affairs of Dongyue clean." β
The crown prince Liu sent people to arrest the Dongyue spies of the Qi State, declaring that the Han Emperor would forgive the sins of the King of Qi and kill the Dongyue. Qi Xiang was grateful to the prince for his open-mindedness, and swore allegiance to the royal family and the Han Emperor.
Dongyue saw that he did not plot against the king of Qi, and the trust between the Han emperor and the father and son of the king of Qi was like this, and the crown prince Liu Ju did not die, helping the king of Qi to deal with this matter, deeply felt the unity of the Han royal family, and sent a letter of surrender to the crown prince Liu Ju, claiming that he was willing to make peace and make peace, not to cause war, and hoped that the Han army would not attack Dongyue because of this, and the crown prince Liu Juyun.
