"In my opinion, your grandson must not be in the hands of these people. If he is, he must have used this to blackmail me to let them go. If that is the case, I will definitely agree to it even for the sake of the Duke.
It makes sense. With such a bargaining chip, it’s impossible for them to not use it.”
Yeah?
Listening to the other party's words to smooth things over for him, Duke Zhenguo's eyes were cold and he did not respond.
After all, if he really wanted to speak, all he could say was a tactful "Fuck you mother".
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. After the traces of the assassin are traced, I will send more people to search for the assassin in the mountains for the Duke. I will definitely help the Duke find the person." Emperor Qingming said with a reassuring tone.
.
The Duke of Zhen Guo had no more words to say and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I will retire."
We still have to wait for the assassin's traces to be traced - where does the other party get the confidence to think that he will wait like this?
The level of hypocrisy of His Majesty the Emperor has exceeded his knowledge. Now he even feels that even if he wants to ask for instructions to mobilize troops, the other party will have a set of extremely hypocritical excuses to stop him.
He didn't want to waste his time.
He wants to mobilize troops——
And there is no intention to ask the other party for instructions in advance.
"My lord, please wait."
Emperor Qingming shouted something to stop the people.
Zhenguo Gong turned around and looked back.
Emperor Qingming said with some regret: "Just now, in order to save me, the Duke threw out his personal jade pendant in desperation. I remember that this piece of jade seems to have been given to the Duke by the late emperor. When I return to the palace, I will definitely look for a piece of the same jade."
Return it to the Duke."
——Is this because he is afraid that he has a grudge against his talents and goes out of his way to show off the friendship between the emperor and his subjects in front of others?
The Duke of Zhen Guo took a look at the broken jade in the hall and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but everything is determined, so don't worry about it."
After saying this, he bowed again and strode away.
Seeing the tall and burly figure disappearing behind the crowd, Emperor Qingming's eyes flickered.
At this time, Han Yan's voice came to my ears.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this arrow is poisonous——"
Han Yan said after checking the young man's wounds.
Emperor Qingming came back to his senses and frowned: "Invite the imperial doctor to come for a diagnosis immediately!"
The arrow that assassinated him was even poisoned... These remnants of the former dynasty should all be cut into pieces!
After Duke Zhen Guo left everyone's sight, Wu Chao followed him.
When the two of them passed each other, the young man's low voice reached Duke Zhen Guo's ears.
"My lord, please come with me -"
After Zhenguo Gong hesitated for a moment, he finally followed the young man's direction.
In Linfu Hall? The accompanying imperial doctor arrived quickly? The young man was temporarily placed in a warm pavilion, because it was particularly strange to see this man? Emperor Qingming, who was sitting in the hall, asked the officials: "I haven't had time to ask.
? Which family is this young man from?"
The other party is wearing a long gown? And his temperament does not look like that of a servant.
The officials each looked at their colleagues.
At this time, after half a day of rest and recovery, Ji Xiu, whose face was increasingly bruised and bruised, stood up.
"Return to your majesty? This person is a civil servant in Weichen's house..."
"It turns out he is from Ji Aiqing's house." Emperor Qingming was a little surprised, and then he thought of something and said, "But just now I saw that his skills are very fast, and he seems to have practiced martial arts."
"She knows some boxing and kicking skills." Ji Xiu lowered his eyes and didn't say much.
What happened tonight? It was all out of his expectation. The current situation was sudden and confusing to him.
At this time the imperial doctor came out.
"How?" Emperor Qingming asked himself.
"Fortunately, the injury was on the shoulder, and it did not cause any life-threatening injuries in a short period of time..." The imperial doctor answered truthfully: "The arrow has been taken out, but is it poisonous? The skin and flesh near the wound can only be removed. Now,
Have you been given medicine? But I don’t know when people will wake up yet.”
"He wanted to save me." Emperor Qingming sighed slightly and confessed: "Order someone to take care of him? After he wakes up, I will personally reward you."
The imperial doctor responded.
Several officials looked at Ji Xiu.
Ji Xiu remained calm on his face, but in his heart he couldn't help but curse.
What do you think he does?
Do you think that all this is his arrangement? Did he specifically let his subordinates show off in front of the emperor to save him?
He originally felt that Zhan Yunzhu was difficult to control? Is it too late to hide it and use it? How could he let the other party appear in front of the emperor in such a way?
"His Majesty."
A eunuch walked in at this time and announced: "The Queen and Concubine Jing are here."
When he left the palace this time, Emperor Qingming only took the queen and concubine Jing with him.
Normally, Concubine Rong, who gave birth to the prince last year and was favored by the emperor, should be the one who would follow her, but because Emperor Qingming did not want the immature prince to leave the palace, and the young prince was now the most attached to his mother, the original arrangement was changed.
Concubine Rong was replaced by Concubine Jing.
"The police will handle the follow-up matters. My dear friends, please go back and rest." Emperor Qingming said to everyone.
The officials responded, bowed and left.
The queen and concubine Jing led the maids into the hall.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
The two of them bowed one after another, and Concubine Jing in front said with red eyes and worry: "I heard that first Yueming Pavilion was compromised, and then there was an assassin... I am really worried! Now that I see that Your Majesty is fine, I feel relieved.
That’s when I let go.”
As for why such worries came so late, there is nothing else. I just heard that some assassins were afraid and did not dare to rush forward.
After all, the level of worry was far from worth her risk.
The queen also asked with concern.
She came very late, and even if Jingbin hadn't gone looking for her, she would have come even later.
But it wasn't because she was afraid, she simply didn't want to come.
Anyway, it wasn't good news - she was referring to the failed assassination attempt.
"I'm fine, Queen, don't worry." Emperor Qingming's eyes were gentle.
At this time, Jing Bin beside her was holding her temples and swaying.
"Empress!" The maidservant whispered and supported the person.
The Queen looked over and asked with concern: "Sister Jingbin was too worried about His Majesty's safety during the whole journey, and was so nervous that she became physically ill?"
Jing Bin: "...?"
The queen was still looking at her.
Faced with this drama of competition for favor, as the Lord of the Sixth Palace, she has always been willing to cooperate and sincerely help each other in line with the principle of taking care of her sisters.
It is a pity that many concubines did not believe her sincerity, which often left her with nowhere to show her good intentions.
Jing Bin forced a smile: "I just suddenly felt a little dizzy..."
The queen said: "Then sit down quickly and ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
Seeing Emperor Qingming nodding, the maid helped Concubine Jing sit down.
The imperial doctor in Nuange was invited to examine Concubine Jing.
After checking Concubine Jing's pulse repeatedly, the imperial physician took back his hand and first raised his hand to bow to Emperor Qingming.
The queen's eyes showed surprise.
This series of actions by Dr. Zheng is like a ritual under certain circumstances——
