In the gloomy night, white lanterns were hung inside and outside the palace, swinging in the wind, emitting a sad light. Two coffins were placed in front of the hall, containing the bodies of Prince Yan and his son. Many officials, even eunuchs and maids knelt down to worship.
Watching the vigil, it was a vast expanse of white.?
There was also a group of high-ranking officials gathered in the main hall, at least third-rank officials, with only one exception, and that was Qiu Yu, the fourth-rank commander of the Southern Route Army. Logically speaking, he was just a small fish, but now he was wearing a
On the big fish skewer, it looked like they were all important officials. He felt that he was cheating, but the Queen Mother asked him to come over by name, so he had no choice but to obey.
On the splendid high platform, the Kowloon throne shines with light. It is not only made of pure gold but also inlaid with many jewels. It is very noble. However, it is empty now. A side seat has been added next to it, and the Queen Mother with a solemn face is sitting there.
On top of it, he looked at the only young man below with a gloomy look, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, despite his young age, this boy is really useful.
Standing next to the Queen Mother is a charming woman. She is wearing a long white dress on her graceful body, which makes her look even more unique. She is the most noble widow of the Yan Kingdom, Princess Ji Yurong of Yanshan. Now she has become the person whom the Queen Mother relies on most, with bright eyes.
A trace of worry flashed through her heart. Based on her intuition, it seemed that the Queen Mother was going to do something to Qiu Yu, which made her, the godmother, a little uneasy.
All the civil and military officials in the main hall were silent. In extraordinary times, even King Yun and the prime minister were punished, so it was better to act with caution.
The Queen Mother looked at it for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Qiu Yu comes out."
Qiu Yu knew to summon him, so he came out and saluted: "The general is here."
The Queen Mother hummed: "I said before that your merits and demerits are equal to each other. The Ai family always feels that you are being given too much advantage. We can't just let it go. You have to do one more thing."
What do you mean, your words don't count? Qiu Yu couldn't help but sneer, but he was just a ruler because he was so powerful. In other words, the Queen Mother could kill him with just one word. Based on this, he could only act with caution. He
He said respectfully: "Please give me the Queen Mother's instructions."
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "The third prince has contracted a strange disease. He has become emaciated and crazy, and has no desire to eat. The palace doctors are completely helpless in diagnosing and treating him. He is of the blood of King Yan and must be cured. Now you can only take action.
Well, if you cure him, you will be promoted to a high rank and become a general, otherwise you will be thrown into prison for life."
You ladies are so cruel. You want to imprison me for life. You have forgotten who brought you back from the gate of hell. You are so ungrateful. In an instant, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past Qiu Yu's heart, giving him a taste of the royal family.
His ruthlessness and burning of bridges are truly amazing.
Fortunately, the symptoms of the third prince Ji Cheng are all in Qiu Yu's heart. He is just addicted to drugs. It is quite difficult for the imperial doctor to treat him. However, he has a way, so he nodded and said: "The general will do his best to treat the three princes."
The prince treats him, but if he cannot be cured, leave it to the queen mother."
After hearing this, a glimmer of hope emerged in the Queen Mother's heart, "Then go ahead. If you can cure it, the Ai family will not treat you badly."
"You will eventually understand."
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Qiu Yu went to the place where the third prince Ji Cheng was imprisoned. This guy was addicted to drugs but could not get rid of it. Therefore, he had a bad temper and often beat the palace staff. He even beat the concubine of King Yan once.
He was placed under house arrest and watched only by two eunuchs.
The location is located over the Cold Palace, which is very remote and deserted. Eunuch Yuan Gonggong led Qiu Yu here and followed the moon gate into the decaying palace. He saw that the indoor air was turbid and smelly, and there was a large iron
Inside the cage lay an unkempt man with tattered clothes and stubble on his face. He could vaguely identify him as the third prince Ji Cheng.
Two young eunuchs were waiting here, responsible for taking care of the third prince. As Eunuch Yuan had a high status as a senior eunuch, the two young eunuchs quickly bowed to greet him.
Eunuch Yuan said: "This is Qiu Dutong, who has come to treat the third prince on the orders of the Queen Mother. You must obey his instructions. Whatever medicinal materials you need, you can go to the Imperial Hospital to get them."
The two young eunuchs paid tribute to Qiu Yu again, "Meet Qiu Dutong." They also recognized him. He was the young miracle doctor who cured the Queen Mother's head disease. It is said that he was later adopted by Princess Yanshan as his adopted son. He was also your highness.
, making them full of awe.
Eunuch Yuan left first, and Qiu Yu ordered: "I will treat the third prince now. You two will guard outside the courtyard and no one will be allowed to enter."
The two young eunuchs hurriedly agreed and hurried out, closing the door tightly without any hesitation.
Looking over, he saw the third prince lying on the ground almost exhausted and emaciated. A gloating smile appeared on Qiu Yu's face. You deserve it. You pretended to be awesome with me before, but now you have tasted the bitter fruit. Let me show you.
What is a life worse than a pig or a dog?
"You bastard, wake up." Qiu Yu kicked the iron cage with his foot. It was very casual and the force was amazing. It made the iron cage shake and make a buzzing sound, which was disturbing.
Ji Cheng, who was extremely weak, was woken up. He raised his head and opened his eyes and cursed: "You bastard, you want to die..." However, when he saw the other party's figure, he became energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
, struggled to get up, stretched his arms out of the cage as far as possible, tried his best to reach it, and said incoherently: "Hurry up and give me the pill... I want to take it..."
Although he is locked up in a cage, he is still a prince. Besides, the prince is dead, and Ji Cheng may still have a chance to ascend the throne. It should not be underestimated. But in Qiu Yu's eyes, he is just a dog and does not deserve mercy at all.
He raised his foot and kicked the opponent's hand, causing him to howl in pain and hurriedly retracted his hand.
With a joking look in his eyes, Qiu Yu snorted coldly: "There are no rules at all. If you want to get a panacea, you won't kneel down before me."
Ji Cheng was stunned, but he had no temper to control. Through previous contacts, he knew that the other party was ruthless and capable of doing anything. He could not resist but obeyed. In desperation, he could only kneel on the ground, like a tame wild dog.
Pan begged: "Please, give me the elixir."
Looking at the other party who seemed to be begging for mercy, Qiu Yu sneered and said: "Call me Master."
Ji Cheng said obediently: "Master... please."
A proud look appeared on Qiu Yu's face. Thinking of the Queen Mother's bad attitude before, she couldn't help but curse: "You prodigal old lady, I asked you to treat me like that, and now your grandson has to call me master... Hey, that's not right, I am still the same as her."
By the way, this won't work. Hey, little bastard, call me Grandpa now."
Even though Ji Cheng was angry, but for the sake of the feeling of competing with the gods, he still resignedly called out, "Master."
