Chapter 11: Apprenticeship

When the crown prince returned to the palace from the palace, it was almost late, and the crown princess was still waiting for him to come back and dine together, as usual.

Since the anniversary of their marriage, the crown princess has cherished the time the two have spent together. In the East Palace, in addition to handling government affairs and meeting courtiers, she is almost inseparable from the prince, and no matter how late the prince returns to the palace, she has to wait for him to come back before she is willing to eat.

In addition to the indispensable greetings, she didn't go to Zhengyang Palace to talk to the queen as often as usual, Wu Yu knew the reason, so he couldn't bear to ask for it, but he was afraid that the queen mother would be suspicious, so he deduced that the princess was unwell. After hearing this, the queen wanted to personally arrange for the imperial doctor to go to the East Palace for diagnosis and treatment, and the prince persuaded him to do it reluctantly. The prince understands that this kind of excuse will be worn at a glance, and then the queen will speculate a little, just afraid that the truth will be guessed by her, if this is the case, the queen mother is angry and is afraid that the crown princess will be abolished immediately. The two have a very strong relationship, of course the prince doesn't want to see this, this is really a not clever excuse, but it is better to have an excuse than nothing. He knew that there would come a day when he couldn't hide it, but he hoped that day would come as late as possible.

That day, by the corridor of Changchun Garden, the crown princess survived the most painful moment of her life, and every word that the queen and Bai Susu said was like a thorny leather whip, which was whipped hard in the most vulnerable and deadly part of her body again and again. She obviously collapsed, but reason told her that no matter how difficult it was, she would finish this scene today, and she would never let the queen see the slightest flaw. So when her husband pulled her far away and leaned into her ear to tell her carefully, she forcibly endured the pain of dripping blood and asked herself not to miss a single detail...... , and in the end, she really managed to talk and laugh freely in the queen's blessings, just like this day in previous years.

Most people have the most cherished things in life, "gain and loss" and "never have", how big is the difference between the two, the princess now understands more deeply than anyone else. The saddest thing about people is not the ending itself, but the fact that they know the ending but are powerless to change it. She was like a death row prisoner waiting to be executed, not knowing when she would be beheaded. But one thing she knew was that it wouldn't last more than a year.

As long as it is related to the Bai family, don't think about fighting and changing. This has become almost everyone's consensus. Therefore, the crown princess didn't think about changing it at all, she thought, maybe the prince's thoughts are similar to herself.

......。

The crown prince kept filling her bowl with vegetables like an ordinary husband, and the crown princess looked at the fruit dishes in front of her with blank eyes, and suddenly said, "Is the prince okay?"

"I haven't ...... yet," the prince glanced at his wife and said, "I heard that this time he was seriously ill, and Imperial Doctor Liu had a hard time, and he still hasn't found a prescription for the symptoms." ”

The crown princess's heart moved, and there was a moment of brightness on her face, but it quickly dimmed again.

"Doctor Liu will always have a way, didn't he finally cure all the diseases that were difficult to treat before. ”

The prince was silent, in most people's cognition, Liu Wen had no cases that could not be treated except for the dead.

"Anyway, the condition is still serious, the county lord must be very anxious, at this time, what she needs most is your comfort. After speaking, his eyes looked at the prince fixedly.

In this palace, no matter how deep the emotion is, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not compromise with interests, and in the brutal struggle for imperial power, most people will be forced to exchange everything as a bargaining chip.

She didn't want to ask for any answer, but subconsciously asked.

"Since I went and met, it's hard not to say it......" Looking at his wife's emaciated face, the prince said softly, "Ling'er, my heart ...... You know the words of the Queen Mother...... Maybe it's just talking. ”

The crown princess smiled miserably, "What's the use of your heart, if you don't have a heart, it's okay, I can cross this heart and save this endless torment." ”

"Don't be discouraged, there is still room for everything to turn around" The prince took his wife's hand, "I have also thought about it these days, I will go to beg my mother, if she does not agree, she will go to beg my father, if my father still does not agree, it is a big deal to give up this glory for you to stay for the rest of your life." ”

"I'm almost thirty years old, and I still say such stupid things. The crown princess held her husband's hand, "After so many years, you are about to come out, you can't let go of your heart......"

The crown princess's eyes were full of tears, she looked up at her husband, her voice was sad and helpless, "If this glory can be abandoned, why don't I want to stay with you for the rest of my life." But you look around you, how many people are waiting for you to make a mistake. There is no road behind you...... From the day you became the crown prince, there was no road behind you...... Do you know that if you can't be the Son of Heaven, you can't even be a human being...... You know this better than I do. Therefore, you have to listen to me, and don't ask anyone, not the queen mother or the emperor...... Regardless, regardless...... You can't give up whatever happens in the future, can you promise me?"

The prince buried his hand in his wife's palm, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and at last he couldn't help but cry out loud.

The crown princess looked at her husband's violently shaking back, her emotions slowly calmed down, and her eyes gradually showed a decisive .......

"It's just a surrender, not a dethronement, and if you don't change your mind, I will suffer for you...... When you inherit the throne, the whole world will be yours, as long as you don't forget your friendship...... Why can't you compensate me for ......"

The crown princess's words seemed to have a good calming effect, and when the prince raised his head again after the catharsis, he could no longer see the frustration on his face, yes, now is not the time to be sad, and hatred will not solve the problem, as long as he gritted his teeth and took this last step, everything will be in his own hands!

After readjusting his emotions, the prince came to Juyuan Palace, waiting for Mu Jiu while dealing with government affairs, he took out a copy from a stack of chapters, and was about to open it to see, when Mu Jiu's voice came from the door, he looked sideways at the hourglass on the case, and found that it had just arrived.

"Why did you come back, didn't you keep it until the time of the son?" asked the prince.

"Hey, don't say it, if you keep it any longer, something will happen!" Mu Jiu stomped his feet.

"What the hell is going on?Did you find out by the third child?Why are you so stupid!" The prince was so angry that he threw the pen in his hand at Mu Jiu.

"No, no," Mu Jiu jumped to hide, the ink on the pen was dripping, the pen was dodging, but he didn't dodge the ink, he wiped it with his hand, and said, "It's the person who defends the city, Your Highness." ”

"The city guards only patrol the streets, could it be that your people stand guard in front of the gate for the third child?"

"No, oh, Your Highness, they are different this time, they are drilling around, fortunately, we saw the opportunity quickly, we really caught it, but we can't tell!" Mu Jiu rubbed the undried ink on his face with his hand, frightened.

"Are you sure the tracking hasn't been discovered?" asked the prince.

"The slave has no other skills, and he is still good at keeping an eye on people. I'm sure no one found out. ”

"That is, the third child became suspicious and asked the city guards to patrol to see if they were being monitored. The prince frowned and said.

"Your Highness, in this way, there is really a problem with that entourage?"

"At present, I can't conclude, maybe he just guessed that we were suspicious and instructed the city guards to search, if we really monitor because of this, if we catch it, it will be an unexpected gain, and then I will go to my father in front of the emperor for the crime of 'privately monitoring the prince's mansion', what do you say?"

"Tsk, it's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Mu Jiu smacked his lips, "It's good that I wasn't caught, otherwise it would have been a big deal." The city defense is really getting more and more presumptuous. ”

The prince grabbed the inkstone on the bookcase, and did not speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Highness...... Do you want to continue then?" asked Mu Jiu cautiously.

"Let's stop in the next few days, and then make plans when they relax their guard, if there is a real problem, they will naturally come into contact with ...... in the future."

March 26.

Liu Wen, who was not out of the pharmacy for half a step, researched and wrote the formula day and night, and finally decided on the final prescription. After three days and three nights of sleeplessness, when Liu Wen came out of the pharmacy, he saw the scorching spring sun in the morning, and he felt like he had seen the light of day again. He didn't care about changing his clothes and cleaning himself, and presented the prescription to Emperor Yi as soon as possible.

Emperor Yi ordered him to prepare all the medicinal materials and take people to decoction in the Dingbei Palace, and after the early dynasty, he rode the dragon chariot to drive the palace.

Emperor Yi sat on the side of Bai Qi's sickbed, and the prince, King Lin, Song Li, Xing Danyou, Nie Bei and other imperial relatives and important ministers all came with him, plus Bai Guang, Bai Susu, Liu Wen, Yue Rong'er, and the physician servants who decocted the medicine and tried the medicine, crowded the room.

Nie Bei and Bai Guang stood beside Emperor Yi on the left and right, while the clan relatives and important ministers gathered behind the three of them, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Bai Qi on the couch in unison.

"Your Majesty, please allow the slave to take medicine for the prince. Liu Wen saw that there was nothing unusual after the eunuch tried the medicine for half an hour, so he asked Emperor Yi for advice.

Emperor Yi nodded nervously, reached out to grab the armrest of the chair, but grabbed Bai Guang's wrist, Bai Guang was faintly painful by him, but he didn't dare to move.

Feeding medicine to a comatose patient, one person can't do it, Bai Guang knows that Liu Wen has no right to assign, it is his father who is hiding on the couch, and the most suitable person now should be himself, but at the moment he is being "clamped" by Emperor Yi, in desperation, he had to give Bai Susu a look, Bai Susu saw the eyes handed by his brother, and had the heart to help, but she didn't know how to help, she had never served anyone since she was a child, and stood on the edge of the couch for a while, at a loss, she didn't look at Bai Guang, but turned her eyes to the prince for help.

There were imperial doctors, eunuchs, and servants of the palace in the house, but there was no clear instruction that no one dared to take the initiative to step forward, and no one would take the initiative to step forward. People are the king of Dingbei, it's okay to take the medicine, once something happens, I'm afraid that it will implicate myself, and it is possible to save my life at that time, who will do this kind of thankless thing?

But at this time, Emperor Yi was only nervous, and he didn't expect that Liu Wen couldn't handle the matter of feeding medicine alone.

How can a prince of an empire serve his courtiers to feed medicine? Even if this courtier is honored and favored, no matter how special it is, but Liu Wen knelt there with the medicine and waited, and the county lord was looking at him intently, and it was not his turn to give orders in the presence of his father...... , The helpless prince was about to take a step, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice ringing in everyone's ears, "Childe, if no one helps, let Rong'er come!"

She didn't ask the emperor for permission, but went to ask for Bai Guang's opinion, a group of noble courtiers in the courtyard had never seen such a strange and rude scene, and they were a little stunned for a while, Emperor Yi heard the sound and looked, and saw a very beautiful girl desperately squeezing from the crowd to the front of the bed, a pair of wonderful eyes crossed him, and looked at the white light ...... beside him.

Bai Guang frowned, and was about to speak, but Emperor Yi let go of his wrist and asked, "Xiaoguang, you tell me, who is she?"

Before Bai Guang could reply, Bai Susu stood up, "Your Majesty, her name is Yue Rong'er, she is a refugee rescued by Xiaoguang during her visit to Chunlan, and she was ...... at that time."

"Eldest sister!" Bai Guang hurriedly interrupted Bai Susu, he knew his sister's intentions, but how could she still be thinking about how to help the prince at this time? Bai Guang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart for his sister, and knelt down in front of Emperor Yi after a few steps, "Your Majesty, this woman is a refugee who came to Beijing to look for relatives, and because she couldn't find a place to stay for a while, she was living on the streets, and Wei Chen saw that she was pitiful and let her live in the house temporarily. Although the country woman is rude and rude, she is quite clever and meticulous, and her father has been taken care of by her recently, and Weichen begs Your Majesty to forgive her for her rude sin, and fulfill her heart of repayment!"

Yue Rong'er is very clever and well-behaved, as soon as Bai Guang finished speaking, she bowed down to Emperor Yi Yingying on the side of the couch, and said with Bai Guang in her mouth, "Please forgive your majesty for the little girl's rude offense!"

"Okay, okay! I don't blame you, hurry up and serve the prince with medicine!"

Wu Ye saw that Bai Susu didn't look at it at all in order to help the prince, and he wanted to reveal the events of the day in front of himself and Zhen Guogong, he was shocked and angry, he glanced at Xing Danyou not far away, and saw that the other party's face was a little pale, and he was staring at Yue Rong'er on the ground.

After Yue Rong'er knocked three times on the side of the couch, she got up and came to Bai Qi, stretched out her left hand to lift his upper body slightly, and quickly stuffed the soft pillow under his neck with her right hand, and then pinched his cheeks with her right hand, Liu Wen, who had already knelt beside him with medicine, saw Bai Qi's lips open slightly, so he ......fed it with a silver spoon little by little.

Because Bai Qi was in a severe coma, there was no consciousness of swallowing, and the medicine could enter the trachea or lung cavity if he took it too quickly and too quickly, so he could only feed a few mouthfuls and stop before feeding.

If there is an old Confucian from the Literature Museum here at this moment, he will definitely open his eyes, because what he sees may be historical materials that have never been recorded in the history books, almost all the imperial relatives and important ministers who are in power in Beijing have come, these people gather here, not to discuss the country's plans, nor to seek social welfare, but to watch others use medicine on the sidelines, although it is the prince of Yipin who takes the medicine, but the scene is still funny and saliv......ating.

But Emperor Yi didn't think so, the only person sitting couldn't feel the feelings of others at all, and he didn't have time to do so. Or at this moment, except for the person lying on the couch, there is no "other" in his heart at all.

After taking the medicine, Bai Qi did not change much, and he still lay there quietly as before...... Emperor Yi sat on the chair, leaned forward, and looked at Bai Qi on the couch without blinking.

The room was suffocatingly quiet, Liu Wen knelt there, his face gradually became ugly, at this moment, he heard the sound of "grunt" and "grunt", swept away the frustration just now, his face suddenly appeared ecstatic, and said loudly to Yue Rong'er, "Quick!

Bai Guang's tense nerves finally relaxed, he was different from the others present, he was well versed in medicine, and knew that a patient like his father, who was injured in the lungs and was in a severe coma for many days, must have a lot of phlegm and saliva in his chest, and first had to loosen the phlegm and force the phlegm out of the body...... Now it seems that Liu Wen's prescription is beginning to work......

Yue Rong'er stuffed the soft pillow into Bai Qi's waist, letting his neck rest in the crook of his thin arm, Bai Qi's breathing became more and more rapid, his face changed from pale to dark red like a cherry, his chest rose and fell violently, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow".

Yue Rong'er's chest was spit full of blood, but she didn't dare to move her arms, she looked at Bai Guang with a pale face in fright, Bai Susu was so anxious that she squeezed to the front of the bed, some people panicked to fetch hot water, and some people went to get clean bedding...... The scene was chaotic.

Wu Ye and Xing Danyou glanced at each other, their faces unchanged, but their hearts were happy.

Emperor Yi came back to his senses after a short period of astonishment, he stood up from the chair "Teng", his feet did not step on the solid in the panic, the person fell forward, Nie Bei hurriedly reached out to hug his waist, Emperor Yi stood firm and pushed him away, and quickly moved in the direction of Bai Qi under his feet, Li Dequan desperately squeezed to Emperor Yi's side, and the people in the room were stunned, but no one went to support him.

Bai Guang had already held his father in his arms at this moment, and Yue Rong'er had already gone out to change into dirty clothes. His left hand rested under his father's ribs, and the palm of his right hand pressed against his chest and moved slowly .......

Emperor Yi couldn't understand what Bai Guang was doing, he felt that what Brother Wang needed most at this moment was a medical officer, but when he looked around and didn't see Liu Wen, he couldn't help but be furious, and asked around, "Where is Liu Wen? Why didn't you come to save the prince?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked down at their beds...... , I saw Liu Wen paralyzed there, and he was already fainting with fright. Wu Ye walked up to Liu Wen with a blue face at this time, and "put" him in front of Emperor Yi like a chicken, but Liu Wen, who had just woken up, looked up at the angry Son of Heaven and fainted again.

Bai Guang's eyes looked around, and finally stopped on the prince's body, the prince was slightly stunned, and saw Bai Guang's right palm gently swinging outward under Bai Qi's ribs, and then he understood. hurriedly came to Emperor Yi and said respectfully, "Father, the house is crowded, I'm afraid it's not good for my uncle to recuperate, why don't you let the courtiers retreat first?"

Emperor Yi came directly from the Taiyi Palace after the early dynasty, no matter whether he cared about Bai Qi's illness or not, the ministers felt that it was better to come than not to come, so that when the prince said that he wanted to come to the palace with his father to visit the hospital, everyone seconded the proposal to go together, and Emperor Yi naturally agreed.

Emperor Yi was already dizzy, and after being reminded by the prince, he felt that it should indeed be so, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"

As if they had been pardoned, the crowd retreated in a blink of an eye. Wu Ye stood in place for a moment, thought about it, and finally retreated.

Before leaving, Song Li glanced at Liu Wen, who was curled up on the ground like a dead dog, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should you do with this person?"

Emperor Yi didn't want to think about it, "Pull him out!" Then he gritted his teeth and said, "What bullshit miracle doctor, if something happens to Brother Wang, I will destroy his nine clans!"

After Liu Wen was dragged out, only the prince, Nie Bei, Li Dequan, and the guards outside the courtyard were left. After Bai Guang massaged his father's chest and abdomen for a while, he checked his father's pulse again, and found that the situation was not too bad.

"It's not too bad. Bai Guang considered the words and wanted to excuse Liu Wen, "Although the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Liu is a little stronger, it is not completely useless. ”

"Didn't you see what your father did just now, is it still useful?" Emperor Yi was obviously angry, "I see that he is a waste of fame! What is the use of curing many people? If you can't cure your father, I won't spare him! You don't have to intercede for him!"

The extent of his father's illness is only known to people like Bai Guang, who understand medicine. There are too many misunderstandings about doctors in the world, but they don't know that doctors can only heal diseases, but they can't cure lives. Liu Wen is specialized in treating the disease for Emperor Yi, needless to say, but the emperor doesn't care about these, he regards the diagnosis and treatment of Bai Qi's condition above all else, and pins all his hopes on Liu Wen, if Liu Wen can't be cured, he will naturally be angry with him.

It was impossible for Bai Guang to tell the Emperor about the doctor's suffering, because he knew that it was useless. At the same time, he couldn't talk too much about his father's illness, he was afraid that Emperor Yi would be more worried, so maybe more people would suffer, so he replied after repeated consideration, "Although my father coughed up blood, he coughed up accumulated phlegm, which is also the credit of Mrs. Liu's prescription." ”

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Yi looked very impatient, and he had no concept of "coughing up phlegm", he was thinking about how to cure Brother Wang's illness, since Liu Wen couldn't do it, he could only find another famous doctor, "What credit does he have, I don't count on him, I want to recruit famous doctors in the world!"

After Li Dequan left, Emperor Yi had no intention of returning to the palace, he sat back on the circle chair, like fourteen years ago, he wanted to guard the seriously ill brother Wang, although this was useless, but he just had to stubbornly guard.

Probably a little tired, Emperor Yi closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and habitually looked at Bai Qi on the couch, but what he saw was a petite and wonderful back, Yue Rong'er was facing away from him, half leaning in front of the couch to wipe Bai Qi's face with a hot cotton handkerchief.......

At this moment, she just changed into a purple Luo shirt, Luo shirt was given to her after Bai Susu wore it, she was not as tall as Bai Susu, she thought that the clothes were wide and inconvenient, so she loosened a ribbon around her waist, and the wide sleeves and narrow waist set off her delicate figure. Her satin-like black hair was knotted on the top of her head, and her hair half-covered her face and hung softly over her shoulders...... , This is a picture that can make people have infinite reverie, even if it is a monarch who has 3,000 fandelies and has read all the beauties in the world, he can't take his eyes off ...... for a while.

Emperor Yi suddenly remembered that Bai Guang seemed to have talked about him just now, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask, "You said, she is ......"

"Refugees, Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, yes, refugees" Emperor Yi is old, and his memory is not very good, "Where are the refugees?"

"I'm from Yongzhou. Your Majesty. Bai Guang replied truthfully.

"Oh, you follow your father in this way," Emperor Yi praised Bai Guang, "they are all warm-hearted people, and they should help this kind of weak woman who has fled from the wilderness." ”

Bai Guang was about to thank him and change the topic, but Bai Susu grabbed the conversation again, "Your Majesty doesn't know, Xiaoguang just happened to save her, if it's a little bit late, I'm afraid that the bad guys will spoil it." ”

Bai Guang's eyebrows jumped, and he glanced at his sister unhappily, and then quickly swept his gaze over the prince thoughtfully.

The prince's eyes and nose and nose and heart stood in place, as if he had "settled".

"What?" Emperor Yi was quite surprised when he heard this, "Bad people are ruined, Kyoto Imperial City, who is so bold?" Xiaoguang, what the hell is going on, you tell me about it, you are not allowed to hide it!"

Dayi respects Confucianism, governs the country with etiquette, and punishes the crime of "adultery" quite severely. Especially in Kyoto, those who knowingly commit crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven will be beheaded. Therefore, although Song Jie was sloppy at that time, he was just doing some ridiculous and innocuous prodigal things, and he would never dare to rob and rob the captives.

Under the order, Bai Guang no longer dared to hide it, but he covered up Xing Zhen's responsibility, and pushed the whole matter onto a few of his entourages when he narrated.

After the original incident, Bai Guang specially asked people to inquire about it, knowing that Xing Zhen handed over a few entourages to Jingzhao Yin Mansion for disposal that day. Bai Guang knew that this must be King Lin's idea, he didn't want to get involved in the battle between the prince and the king, not involved in the party struggle was the ancestor of the Bai family, this was what his father had repeatedly warned him since he was a child, this was for the Bai family, and it was also for his brother-in-law Wu Yi.

But Bai Susu obviously didn't think so, she spoke again, "Your Majesty, I heard Rong'er say that Gongzi Xing was also present at the time, and a few minions didn't have his permission, so I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so." After speaking, he pointed to Yue Rong'er.

As soon as Bai Susu said this, Bai Guang knew that Yue Rong'er would appear next, so he locked Yue Rong'er tightly with his eyes, trying to stop her from doing so. Unexpectedly, Yue Rong'er, who was always well-behaved and obedient in front of him, didn't look in his direction at all this time, and after hearing the cry of Emperor Yi, she walked towards Emperor Yi from the couch, with a resolute expression on her face, like a woman who is fearless of life and death.

When she arrived in front of Emperor Yi, she fell to the ground, first kowtowed to Emperor Yi, and then said, "Everything that the entourage does is all under the command of Xing Zhen." In order to save the people's daughter, the younger brother also died on the spot. If it weren't for the rescue of the son, at the feet of the towering Son of Heaven, there would be two more wisps of grievances. The people are willing to swear to Your Majesty with their lives, and what the people say is true, and I implore Your Majesty to be the master of the people's daughters!"

Her voice is enough to melt snow and ice, the words are clear and crisp, and there is an awe-inspiring aura that is rare for a woman, which makes people feel moved.

"Do you dare to confront Xing Zhen?" asked Emperor Yi.

"Killing people to pay for their lives, repaying debts, and His Majesty is administering justice, why don't the people's daughters dare?" Yue Rong'er knelt there, petite and cowardly, as if she could blow her down in one breath, but the words she said were loud.

"Very good!" Emperor Yi stood up, looked at the white light, and scolded, "Stinky boy, you can be a good person, and it is better for a country woman to understand righteousness." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard without looking back, at the gate of the palace, looking at the white light that knelt on the ground to send him off, and then counted, "Young age, where did you come from to look old-fashioned, hurry up and let me in, I can't take care of your father, I ask you!"

Seeing off the emperor and the crown prince, the three returned to their father's inner bed. Bai Guang turned his back to the two of them, looking at the warm spring sun outside the window, and his mood was extremely bad.

"Why do you want to do this?" Bai Guang asked lightly, not knowing whether to ask Bai Susu or Yue Rong'er.

The two glanced at each other, but Bai Susu opened his mouth first, "Xing Zhen relies on Xing Guogong's power, bullying men and women, and doing nonsense, I can't get used to him for a long time." ”

"Can't get used to him for a long time?" Bai Guang's voice was very cold, "It's been more than 20 days, why didn't you say it at the time, just wait until your father was seriously injured and unconscious, and his life and death were uncertain? Don't you think it's messy enough now? Although you are a daughter, you are also a member of the Bai family after all, don't you know the ancestral teachings of the Bai family?"

"You ......" Bai Guang's words were very heavy, where could Bai Susu accept it, and anger gradually rose in his heart, and he said angrily, "This is not a party dispute, don't talk so far...... I didn't want to say it then, but now I want to say it, what?

"I know that today is the best time to talk about this matter, because the person has also been arrested and the case has been closed. If you want to turn it over for retrial, the case is not big, and it has to be handled by Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and the Criminal Department, and when the time comes, King Lin's dredge will dredge it again, but the board still can't hit Xing Zhen's head, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin and the Criminal Department Shangshu don't want to offend Zhenguo Gong to death. What should we do if this road doesn't work? An attempted robbery like this is really not a big deal, and if you want to make a complaint in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely doubt the motives of the complainant, and if one is not done well, it will be self-defeating, and both methods will be risky, so it has been delayed until now. Today, my seriously ill father and the emperor who values love and righteousness have given you this God-given opportunity!" Bai Guang said this, turned to look at Bai Susu, his eyes were like knives, "Eldest sister, am I right?"

"You...... I don't understand what you're talking about. Facing her brother's gaze like a sharp blade, the weak Bai Susu's heart was weak, and she said aggrievedly, "Xiaoguang, you can't talk to your sister like this. ”

"Eldest sister, you are simple-minded, but don't ignore love and be used in vain. Bai Guang couldn't bear to see her like this, and his tone softened, "Love is not to please, let alone to use." If he truly loves you, he should not let you be involved, nor can he bear to let you be involved......"

"Don't say it!" I don't know which of Bai Guang's words poked Bai Susu, she suddenly became angry, and said sharply, "What do you know? How old are you? Do you know what love is? I tell you, no one instructs me, let alone uses me, it's the ...... I want to say" In the end, Bai Susu burst into tears, and her violently shaking body was shaking, as if she might fall ......down at any time.

"The county lord ......", Yue Rong'er was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly reached out to support her.

Bai Guang looked at his sister, her hair was slightly messy, and her pale face evoked the distant and vague memory in the depths of his heartβ€”the appearance of his mother when she was lingering on the sickbed. He suddenly felt extremely sad in his heart, for a person who loves very hard, what he said just now is indeed heavier, but he is not for her good, she violated the ancestral teachings of the Bai family, how can he act as if nothing has happened.

He turned his back to the two women behind him, but the light of the sunlight shining in from the pane made his mood worse, and he walked over and closed the curtains, and stood motionless in the shadow of the curtains, and after a while, the familiar voice behind him rang out.

"Childe ......"

Bai Guang Huo Ran turned around and found that Bai Susu had left the house at some point, only she was still standing not far in front of her, looking at her timidly .......

Bai Guang's eyes looked at her coldly, and said, "The county lord is messing around, but you can't! You better remember that you don't have capricious capital, you have to learn to keep up with me, you're smart, I know you understand what I mean. This is the first and last time that such a thing will never be allowed to happen again. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Guang stopped, his tone was softened, but the words he said were even colder, "Of course, you don't have to be so wronged yourself, if you want to leave, I will naturally give you enough entanglement." ”

The meaning of these words was just to drive her away, and the little boy happened to come in with a plate at this time, and he was so frightened that he almost dropped the plate.

Yue Rong'er stood with her head bowed, silent, after a long time, she raised her head, a few strands of hair covered her crystalline eyes, and there was a faint mist rising in it, and the white light stared at her for a while, but for some reason, she avoided her gaze .......

"You don't understand!" Yue Rong'er looked at his pointed chin, with a shocking obsession in her voice, the woman who had always been docile and well-behaved in front of Bai Guang refuted him for the first time, "I'm not wrong! I just want to help the county lord, although the county lord didn't say anything to me, but I know that she is very bitter in her heart, do you know? You have what you value in your heart, she has hers, since the things you care about are different, why do you accuse her?"

"Even if the county lord is not your eldest sister, if I am willing to help Yuerong'er, I will still help her. Even if you will suffer endless resentment and revenge because of this, I am not afraid! The reason why you are so angry today must be because you don't want to offend the concubine and King Lin, but in her Zhaochun Palace, on Hutou Ridge...... If you're so careful, will they really stop dealing with you?"

She turned around and pulled her younger brother Xiaotong, who was still standing dumbly, to walk out, and when she came to the door, she stopped again, and said in a sad and sad tone, "We are rootless duckweed, where we float, when the prince's illness is better, the prince will let us go!"

After the prince came out of the palace, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He hoped that Xing Zhen would be unlucky, but not in this way. Bai Susu ignored the opposition of his younger brother Bai Guang, insisted on telling the truth of the matter in front of the emperor, making it clear that he wanted to help himself. But the crown prince was afraid of her help, and deep down he resisted her help, because every time she helped herself, she was more involved with her, and at the same time, the crown princess was one point closer to being deposed.

He knew that this was not something that the simple-minded Bai Susu could come up with, it must have been someone who helped her come up with an idea, the prince walked forward while thinking, and before he knew it, he walked to the ...... of the road to Zhengyang Palace.

In Zhengyang Palace, the queen was pruning a branch of a serval spring flower with silver scissors at the edge of her flower garden, and Xinbi stood in front of a golden flower and exclaimed, "Oh! Niangniang, look, it's blooming!"

"This year, the sun is good and the rain is abundant, so it is willing to bloom. This famous species from Diannan is delicate. "Queen's Road.

"Yes, yes! This kind of iris with golden flowers is like this, the emperor himself was not willing to keep, so he gave it to Niangniang, the emperor is different from Niangniang, at that time...... The face of the concubine is ...... Gee...... It's wonderful. ”

The queen smiled and sighed, "How can she have the patience to feed such a delicate flower with her kind of temperament." It's been three years, and this year it's finally bloomed, and this is a rarer thing...... The harder it is to serve!"

"But no, the slave maid remembered that the mother was afraid of freezing it, so she kept using good silver charcoal to warm its roots in winter. Speaking of this, he flattered again, "Niangniang, look at the slave maid, as soon as this flower blooms this year, good luck will come one after another." ”

The two were talking, and the queen couldn't help but be startled when she saw that there was suddenly more light and shadow in front of her, and turned her head to see that it was the prince, and said angrily, "Why don't you make a sound when you come, you want to scare your queen mother to death?"

Seeing that the prince didn't answer sullenly, he knew that he had something, so he handed the silver scissors to Xinbi and walked to his main hall to .......

As soon as he asked him to sit down beside him, the prince asked, "Mother, has the county lord been here recently?"

"Yes. The queen replied lightly.

"Did Mother say anything to her?"

"It's all gossip. ”

"Does my mother think that instructing the county lord to accuse the son of the Xing family is also gossip?"

"Presumptuous!" said the queen angrily, "The prince is asking the queen mother about the guilt?"

Seeing that his mother was angry, the prince didn't dare to contradict it again, so he had to complain in a low voice, "Mother knows that the prince hates these, if the prince wakes up and knows, what if the prince wakes up?"

"Mother didn't instruct her, she just casually mentioned this matter while chatting, it was the county lord himself who wanted to help you, how can you blame your mother?" The queen's tone was cold, "What does the prince know? This is all done by the county lord alone, can he blame the palace?...... Let alone...... Whether he will wake up or not, it's hard to say now!"

"Mother doesn't know yet, right? My father has ordered the cabinet to issue an order to the nearby state capital, and within five days, more than a dozen famous doctors will come to Beijing to treat the prince. ”

The queen was not surprised at all, obviously someone had already told her about it, she laughed twice and asked, "Mellow, do you know what the world thinks of Liu Wen?"

The prince looked at his mother and shook his head.

"They say...... 'Except for Liu Wen, there is no famous doctor in the world', although it is an exaggeration, but Liu Wen's medical skills are indisputable. Seeing a doctor is not a fight, so what's the use of having too many people? How much hope do you think there is for a patient who can't even be cured by Liu Wen?"

"This Liu Wen, his medical skills are high, and his courage is a little smaller, and the prince directly scared him out with a mouthful of blood. ”

"It can't be said that he is timid," the queen sighed and said with deep feelings, "As long as it is related to the prince, when will your father play his cards according to common sense......? Take the prince and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to the palace to see people taking medicine, and recruit famous doctors from all over the world to treat people's diseases, this time, I am afraid that Liu Wen is in danger......"

"Mother is saying that my father will kill him?"

"It depends on whether the prince can survive or not, if he is really dead...... Your father will definitely be angry with him, don't talk about his own life at that time, I'm afraid that the ancestral grave will be dug up. ”

"The child still hopes that the prince can recover, so that as soon as the father is happy, Imperial Doctor Liu will be safe...... With such good medical skills, it would be a pity to die. The prince sighed.

"All right, all right!" said the queen interrupted her son, "what do you have to do with these things? ”

The prince was busy asking what was going on, and the queen said, "The palace has recently asked people to collect some evidence of Xing Zhen's crimes, and you asked your subordinate imperial historians to hand over the impeachment after the confrontation." ”

"It turns out that my mother has been prepared for a long time, what kind of evidence does she have?"

Xing Zhen used his father's power to buy and sell officials, take huge bribes, and seize people's land. The queen sneered, "In addition, this time I robbed the people's daughters, beat young children and seriously injured people, and pulled people to take the blame." Do you think Zhen Guogong's precious son can still be saved this time?"

"The crux of the problem is not whether it can be guaranteed or not, but whether the Zhenguo Guild will protect, once he can't help but make a move, he can burn the fire on him, and when the Zhenguo Gong falls, the third child will lose a big help...... That's what Mother meant, right?" the prince immediately got to the point of the matter.

The queen was very satisfied with her son's analysis, she nodded and continued, "Now that the fire has been burned, the main palace is just adding firewood to it, as for where it can burn, we will see the results soon......"

At two o'clock the next day, the inner court sent people to summon Bai Guang and Yue Rong'er into the palace, and Emperor Yi left the prince, Linwang, Song Li, Xing Danyou and other ministers behind, and in addition to these courtiers, Yin Tangwang of Jingzhao Mansion was also among them.

Except for the crown prince, no one knew Emperor Yi's intention of leaving them behind this time, but when Xing Zhen appeared in front of them, everyone seemed to understand, at least Xing Danyou and Wu Ye couldn't have understood better.

There is no suspense in this kind of royal answer, and at this time, it is in vain for Bai Guang to stay out of the matter, with the son of the world to testify, Xing Zhen can't even give birth to the idea of denying .......

Xing Zhen was naturally taken into custody by the Criminal Department, but the crime was not yet decided, and several imperial histories were jointly impeached immediately, Xing Zhen used his father's power to buy and sell official positions, and various evidence of corruption and perversion of the law was presented to the emperor.
