"The prince doesn't need to be polite, we are all a family. I wonder what the prince's business is in visiting the palace at night," Dongjun felt unhappy when he saw Dugu Xiu looking like this, but he didn't want to get angry.
"Oh, the Queen Mother and Dongjun have confirmed that the princess is just ill and cannot see the ministers,"
"You! Dugu Xiu, don't bully others too much," the maid who pretended to be Donghuang Ling'er was pulled out.
The expressions of both the Queen Mother and Dongjun changed drastically.
They did not expect that Prince Duguxiu of the Later Qin Dynasty would completely disregard his face and cause trouble in the Dongdu Palace.
"Prince. Prince, please calm down," Queen Mother Situ was anxious. Dongjun rushed forward regardless of everything.
But his thin body was nothing in front of Dugu Xiu. "Wei Chen heard that the princess was infected with a strange disease and would not recover for many months. He was very worried, so he brought a doctor and some valuable medicinal materials, hoping to help the princess.
To see a doctor," Dugu Xiu explained his purpose of coming without being sick or slow.
After Dugu Xiu finished speaking, a doctor walked out from behind him. This man was none other than Cheng Daguoshou, the great master of the Later Qin Dynasty.
Behind Cheng Daguo's hand, there were many attendants, all holding boxes of precious herbs in their hands.
That posture made it look like he was here to visit a doctor.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun felt a trace of cold sweat break out on their foreheads.
The maid who pretended to be a "princess" was not sick at all. If she was diagnosed by Cheng Daguo, she would be exposed.
Dongjun was young and could not stand up to Dugu Xiu's aggressive momentum, so he was a little embarrassed when he spoke: "Prince Dugu is so polite. The emperor's sister's illness is not serious, there is no need to ask Cheng Daguo to come forward."
"Oh, since there's nothing serious, why not let me meet you. Xiu has been admiring the princess for a long time, so it's time to meet her." Dugu Xiu saw Dong Jun's timid look in front of his eyes, and even more
I am convinced of what the left prime minister of Dongdu said earlier.
Princess Dongdu is indeed not in the capital.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Queen Mother Situ also broke into a cold sweat. She was the Queen Mother and had gone through the rise and fall of the Donghuang Dynasty. Compared with Dongjun, she was much calmer. When she was in a hurry, she developed quick wits.
"The prince is so kind that he invited the great masters of the Later Qin Dynasty to come from afar, so I invited the prince to come to the palace to treat my son."
After saying this, Empress Dowager Situ secretly winked at a female official beside her, who understood and sneaked out quietly.
Everyone immediately went to Donghuang Ling'er's palace.
Inside the palace, the pink curtains hung low, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen sitting under the curtains.
"Thank you, Prince Dugu, for coming all the way. Ling'er is not feeling well and can't receive you in person. I'm very sorry," came a female voice from inside, her words were polite, and she sounded a bit touching.
"Princess, you're welcome. You and I don't need to be so polite. Cheng Daguo, please go up and see the princess." Dugu Xiu saw the pink color of the palace and felt disgusted in his heart.
Cheng Daguo stepped forward to check on the "princess".
The "Princess" hesitated and stretched out a hand from the curtain.
The hand was thin and slender, and the skin was too white. At first glance, it looked like the hand of a frail person.
Unexpectedly, the "princess" had just stretched out her hand, and Dugu Xiu, who was just standing aside, took a step forward, grabbed the hand suddenly, and pulled hard.
A girl dressed as a "princess" was pulled out by the company and fell heavily to the ground.
The girl was so frightened that her face changed.
"Prince Dugu! What are you doing?" Neither Queen Mother Situ nor Dong Jun expected that Prince Dugu would suddenly attack.
"An impostor still wants to deceive this prince, Queen of Heaven, Dongjun, you can see clearly, the princess looks like this?" Dugu Xiu's face was filled with gloom, and he grabbed the "princess" by the chin.
.
Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun knew that Dugu Xiu must have seen through the fake princess.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Queen Mother Situ forced a smile: "Prince, you really love to joke. She is naturally my daughter."
"Oh?" Dugu Xiu's men used a little force, and the fake princess felt that her jaw was about to be crushed, and she stared in horror.
"I ask you, are you Donghuang Ling'er? If there is any lie, don't blame me for being rude." Dugu Xiu was like an unruly wolf king at this time. His tall figure was like a dark cloud, pressing down on him.
in the hearts of everyone present.
Even though they were inside the Eastern Capital Palace, no one from the Imperial Guard dared to take action.
The despair in the hearts of Dongjun and Queen Mother Situ spread little by little, and the mother and son could not help but lean against each other.
The fake princess was so frightened that she could not speak. There was only fear on her still beautiful face.
"Prince, please forgive me, I am just a maid,"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of bones cracking as his jaw was crushed.
Queen Mother Situ screamed miserably.
Seeing that the fake princess had expired, Dugu Xiu waved his hand and threw the body out, smashing it onto the palace wall, with blood splattering on the wall.
During the whole process, Dugu Xiu didn't even frown. Killing a humble maid was as simple as trampling an ant to him.
Between his thin and cool lips, he uttered a sentence that made both Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Jun tremble: "Xio will help the Empress Dowager and Dong Jun deal with such a disloyal servant."
After all, Dong Jun was still young, so when he saw Dugu Xiu committing murder in the East Palace, his shoulders shook with anger.
Regardless of the height difference between himself and Dugu Xiu, he rushed forward, grabbed Dugu Xiu's collar, and cursed through gritted teeth: "Dugu Xiu, you are so presumptuous, you actually dare to commit murder in the East Palace.
!”
"Dong Jun, please pay attention to your words. Xiu just killed an assassin pretending to be a princess. The most important thing right now is to find out the whereabouts of the princess, ensure that the princess is safe and sound, and marry into Hou Qin as soon as possible. In this way, Hou Qin will
Only Qin and Dongdu can unite Qin and Jin," Dugu Xiu looked at the thin and pale emperor with disdain.
Dongjun is similar to him in age.
But this young man who was over-protected by the Dongdu royal family was as weak as a girl.
He has fair skin and pale lips, and looks like a frail and sickly girl.
Dongjun's height only reached his shoulders, and the hand holding his collar was still shaking.
Dugu Xiu swept Dongjun's hand away.
The fierce fighting spirit made Dongjun stumble and sit on the ground.
"Come here! Come here! Drive this traitor out of here!"
Dong Jun's shouts lingered in the lonely Dong Palace.
The imperial guards, palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads like ostriches, but no one dared to step forward to protect the Lord.
Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun felt unprecedentedly lonely. This gorgeous palace was like a lifeless tomb at this time, and the lives of their mother and son could be ruined at any time.
