After lunch, the group set off to the Third Prince's Mansion in a grand manner
The third prince has a calm personality. Due to many twists and turns in his youth, his health is not very good. Later, he got better after practicing martial arts, but the root of the disease has finally fallen into his body. Especially in spring, when the humidity is heavy, his disease will relapse. He is currently in the house.
Recuperating
"Meet the Second Prince!" When the housekeeper saw him coming, he quickly saluted and entered.
"Where is your prince?" The second prince asked, "Is he feeling better?"
"Replying to the Second Prince, Master, he is feeling better, but he still has no energy," the housekeeper replied respectfully.
"Where's the concubine?"
"The concubine was in the Buddhist hall, saying she was praying for her son."
"Well, please ask the concubine and the prince to come out and say that our old friends are here!" the second prince ordered.
The butler responded and glanced at the fire demon and Qining. Are these two old friends of the concubine? He didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly ordered someone to go in and inform them.
Concubine Yinggui had poor health when she was young. Since she devoted herself to worshiping Buddha and following a strict diet, her health has become better than before. Now when I heard that the second prince came with his old friend, I felt a sudden surge in my heart.
Jump, she had a hunch that this old friend must be the one she wanted to see the most.
What she wanted to see the most was that heartless woman. She had been gone for several years. Apart from occasional correspondence, she had almost no chance to see her again. Except for a brief meeting two years ago when the Empress Dowager was buried, she never had the chance to see her again.
Got it
Now, could she be back?
The third prince was reading in the study room. When he heard that his servants had come to report, he stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Go, I will be there soon!"
"Yes, Master!" the servant responded.
Concubine Yinggui and the third prince went out to the main hall, but there was no sign of Long Chuxia. Concubine Yinggui was slightly disappointed, but when she saw the fire demon, she immediately said warmly: "Is it the fire demon? Where is your master?"
After seeing the ceremony, the second prince said to the third prince: "Brother, guess who this is?"
The Third Prince looked at Qining, then at the Fire Demon, shook his head and said, "I don't recognize him."
"Guess!" the second prince said with great interest.
The Third Prince's eyes stayed on Qining, and then looked at the Fire Demon. The Third Prince had seen the Fire Demon many times when he was young, so he had some impression of the Fire Demon. "I have seen this one, but I don't remember where I met him."
pass!"
Qining smiled slightly, and instead of playing childish guessing games with the second prince, he stepped forward and said, "Concubine Yingmu, third brother!"
The third prince stared at Qining with wide eyes. His delicate and quiet face showed disbelief as he looked Qining up and down, "Are you Qining?"
Qining nodded, "Exactly!"
Princess Yinggui quickly asked: "Qining, where is your mother? Is she back?"
Qining smiled slightly and said, "She will be back soon."
The brothers were naturally very happy to see each other again. The third prince immediately ordered people to prepare horses. They wanted to take Qi Ning into the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor is thirty years old this year. The ancients said that when he was thirty, he certainly did not mean the emperor. In fact, he was sixteen years old when he took charge. In the history of Feng Kingdom, he was considered a young and wise emperor. Compared with
His father is not inferior at all
Now is the transition between spring and summer. This year's heavy rains have been particularly severe. Before May, we have already received flood memorials from several regions. There seem to be many accidents this year. The rebellious parties in the previous government are also ready to take action.
It has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, these rebellious parties are just fishing in troubled waters under the banner of restoring the country.
The food that the imperial court had previously transported to the disaster area was looted by rogue gangsters dressed as bandits. However, the people in the disaster area thought that the imperial court had shied away from its responsibilities and failed to distribute relief money and food, causing a riot. Now when the emperor was troubled, the harem was in chaos again.
Competing for favor, fighting to the death
The Queen and he were a young couple, and they were both virtuous wives. Unfortunately, she was weak in character, and had been ill recently, so the affairs of the harem were temporarily handled by Concubine Ling and Concubine Li.
He just came from the queen's palace today. The queen talked about the harem, which made him feel uninterested, so he comforted her and left in a hurry.
"Li Xing, have I indulged them too much?" He sighed slightly and looked at the buds standing in the lotus pond.
"Your Majesty, even if a man wants to take care of the affairs of the harem, he may not be able to take care of so much. Moreover, if some things are really investigated and found out, what will happen? Their father and brother are both high officials in the court, so it will affect their whole body!" Li
Xing analyzed rationally
"What you said makes sense. I am thirty this year. There are twelve concubines in the palace who have been pregnant, but none of them can safely give birth to a prince for me. I have dealt with one Concubine Ning and the other Concubine Zhao, and now I don't know who it is.
Who is causing trouble? Or maybe it's you plotting against me and I plotting against you. I finally understand why my father wanted to abolish the harem that day. Maybe it was because of Chu Xia's mother, but mostly because he wanted to concentrate on state affairs. Now, I want to be happy that I was able to
Appearing in this world, there is really no luck at all." The emperor held his forehead and said slightly sadly.
"Although the emperor knew that someone was causing trouble in the harem, he must have done it perfectly. Even if he ordered an investigation, he would not find any clues?" Li Xing asked
"I know that since the death of the Empress Dowager, my harem has not been peaceful for a long time." The emperor's expression was distant, and bits of golden light fell on the lotus pond. The rippled pond water reflected the disc-shaped lotus leaves, which were the same color as the blue sky.
"Huh? The second prince and the third prince have entered the palace!" Li Xing saw a few people coming in suddenly from the palace gate, "Who are those two people? I've never seen them before!"
The emperor looked over from a distance and couldn't recognize the fire demon. He shook his head and said impatiently: "Didn't my second brother just leave the palace? Why did he come back again? Could something have happened again?" A series of misfortunes during this period made him
Anxious and troubled
Several guards walked through the stone path beside the lotus pond, holding long swords in their hands, looking straight ahead, holding their heads high and looking majestic.
Then, just when the eyes of the emperor and Li Xing were on the second and third princes, the guards stepped forward, flew into the air, and stabbed the emperor straight with their long swords. They separated into four parts: southeast, northwest, and southeast.
Attack from all directions, no matter which side the emperor hides in, he cannot avoid hitting the assassin's sword tip
The most important thing is that the emperor did not know martial arts. He ascended the throne at a young age and followed Guo Lao to learn how to govern the country. After Guo Lao left, he began to learn to deal with political affairs and had no extra time to learn martial arts. Now, the second prince and the third prince are still ten years old.
It's far away, even if you can fly, it's too late
The second prince and the third prince exclaimed, "Your Majesty, be careful!" They were about to fly towards them, but they saw a white shadow faster than them, and they couldn't see clearly how he made the move. It seemed like it was just a move, and those few
The assassin then divided into four directions and flew out.
Li Xing was still frightened and quickly supported the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and said, "Are you from the prince's side?" He just saw him walking with his second and third brothers, so he guessed that he was their subordinate.
