The prince came to the palace. In addition to the three princes, Concubine Xu and Princess Jin Yao were also here.
But they were all blocked outside, and the Fuqing eunuch refused to let them in.
"Father is awake, why don't you let us see him?" Princess Jin Yao shouted angrily.
The Fuqing eunuch said: "Because His Majesty is not well yet, we cannot disturb him."
Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu didn't say anything. These days, they seemed to have become accustomed to the prince taking charge here.
Princess Jin Yao rushed forward angrily, "I want to see my father——"
Fu Qing didn't say anything. The imperial guard standing in the palace pulled out his sword with a swipe. King Lu was so frightened that he hid back. Chu Xiurong grabbed Jin Yao and said, "Jin Yao, don't make trouble."
Jin Yao was angry and shocked: "I see my father, and you dare to kill me? Who gave you the order!"
The prince stood outside the door at this time and said calmly: "It's me."
The room became quiet, King Yan looked away, and King Lu shrank his head further.
Jin Yao was not afraid at all, and asked angrily: "Brother Prince, you said that the sixth brother harmed the father, and now you don't let us see the father, does that mean that we will also harm the father?"
The prince was not angry: "Jin Yao, it's not me who said the sixth brother harmed my father, it was my father who said it."
Princess Jin Yao shook her head: "I don't believe it, I want to ask my father personally."
The prince did not argue with her anymore. He slowly walked to the inner room and called Doctor Hu: "Can your Majesty speak?"
Doctor Hu came to welcome him from inside, stood behind the Fuqing eunuch and saluted: "Not yet, he still needs to be raised for a few more days."
The prince turned to look at Jin Yao: "Then you can wait a few days before asking."
Jin Yao looked at what he was going to say, and the prince's voice turned cold: "Father, the emperor has just gotten better. Whoever dares to roar here should not blame Gu for not respecting the relationship between brothers and sisters. He will be punished according to the national law!"
Chu Xiurong held Jin Yao's hand tightly, and the virtuous concubine Xu Fei also stepped forward and yelled, "Jin Yao, stop making trouble here." "Your Majesty is just a little bit off, what are you doing?" "Your Majesty must have heard it inside.
angry!"
Princess Jin Yao clenched her hands and said no more. She stood on tiptoe and looked into the room. She could faintly see the emperor's bed tent. Although her father did not accompany her much, she never thought that one day she would see her father like this.
Disaster--
The prince did not chase them away. He withdrew his gaze and walked into the inner room. Standing outside, he could be heard talking softly to the emperor, but he said that there was no response from the emperor.
"Father, you are awake."
"Father, can you see me?"
"Father, don't worry, everything is fine."
"It's still too late for what you arranged. Chu Yurong ran away? But I have already announced to the world his crime of murdering you."
The prince sat by the bed? He spoke slowly and slowly, looking at the emperor on the bed? The emperor looked at him with his eyes open? His eyes focused on him as he spoke——
After hearing this, the emperor stretched out his hand as if to catch him.
The prince held the emperor's hand: "Father, you don't have to worry."
The emperor opened his mouth but there was no sound? He looked at the prince with one eye? There was some hesitation in his cloudy eyes——
The prince turned away and called: "Doctor Hu."
Doctor Hu hurriedly came forward.
"Why can't my father speak?" the prince asked, "how long will it take for him to recover?"
Doctor Hu said: "Your Majesty's illness seems to be acute, but has it actually been suppressed for a long time? The illness comes like a mountain and falls like a mountain? The illness goes away like a thread, but your Highness and Your Majesty can rest assured that you will definitely get better, and the stubborn disease of headache can be completely eliminated."
of healing.”
The prince happily looked at the emperor again and held his hand: "Father? Did you hear that? Don't worry? You will get better."
The emperor looked at him, as if he wanted to say something? But the prince turned away and asked, "Has your father eaten?" "Should the medicine from before be used?"
The eunuchs in the room were busy. Who answered the questions? Who brought the medicine? The prince sat by the bed and concentrated on feeding the medicine. After all, the emperor's energy was not good. After taking the medicine, he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The prince sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt in his bed thoughtfully. His eyes fell on the emperor's face, and a trace of ridicule flashed across his face. Look, he felt a little better and regretted not wanting to kill Chu Yurong.
He stood up and walked out, looking at the people still standing outside.
"Father is asleep, please don't disturb him."
After saying that, they walked out without looking at them.
The virtuous concubine, King Yan, said nothing, King Lu shrank his head, Concubine Xu smiled sarcastically, Chu Xiurong was expressionless, and Jin Yao gritted her teeth: "Brother Prince, why did it become like this!"
How terrible!
The prince stood on the corridor outside the palace, looking at the sky in the distance with sinister eyes.
"The imperial decree to hunt down and search Chu Yurong has been issued." Fuqing knew what he was thinking and whispered, "I don't know if we can catch him."
He was in a trance when he thought that the Sixth Prince had pretended to be the Iron Masked General. It turned out that the Iron Masked General had died a long time ago. It turned out that the Iron Masked General whom he had known for so many years was the Sixth Prince.
That sixth prince must be so powerful.
What's worse is that no one in the world knows the Sixth Prince, unlike the other princes, who are more or less familiar to the people.
...
...
On an official road outside the capital, a group of soldiers and horses came galloping towards them. People walking on the road hurriedly gave way to the roadside.
"Hey." The leading general stopped his horse and shouted to them, "Have you seen this person?"
As he spoke, a soldier unfolded a picture scroll.
Passersby gathered around, looking at the portrait in the painting and pointing, "Who is this?" "It says, Sixth Prince, Chu Yurong." "Ah, this is the Sixth Prince."
Listening to the people's comments, it was clear that they had never seen him before. The general frowned impatiently: "Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously?"
Passersby shook their heads: "No."
The general's eyes were fixed on these passers-by, some were old and young, some were dressed in shabby clothes, some were scholars in blue, and their faces were all different - they were all different from the sixth prince in the portrait.
In fact, it is not easy to identify based on the portrait. If it is another prince, the general can recognize it without the portrait. But the sixth prince lives in isolation and has only seen a handful of people for so many years. Even if he is facing the portrait, if the real person stands in front of him, he will probably not be able to identify him.
Can't recognize it.
What's more, since you are on the run, how can you not disguise yourself?
It was more reliable to check for suspicious people. The general signaled the guards to put the portrait away, raised his whip and urged the horse to order, "Check every village, inn, and wilderness, and don't let them go."
The soldiers and horses galloped away, raising layers of dust. People on the roadside did not bother to cover their mouths and noses, and started discussing more enthusiastically, "Did the Sixth Prince really murder the Emperor?" "The Sixth Prince himself was very sick, but he could actually
Trying to kill the emperor——" "It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance."
There was also a young voice in the discussion.
"Did you notice just now?"
What did they find? Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw that the speaker was a tall, thin and delicate young man wearing a green shirt. He was wearing a bamboo hat and covering half of his face. He was followed by an old servant who was carrying a book. He was a scholar.
.
Nowadays the most common people are scholars.
Scholars are also very smart, and passers-by are busy asking curiously, "What did you find?"
The young man said: "Although the brushwork of this portrait is rough, we can still see that the Sixth Prince looks very good-looking."
The passers-by were stunned for a while, and then shouted, "What?" "What's there to care about?"
The young man smiled and said: "Of course you have to pay attention. If you want to get the reward, you must pay more attention to good-looking people. Maybe the Sixth Prince is among them."
There are also some scholars who become stupid from reading, which is so strange that passers-by laugh and disperse.
The young man stopped talking and walked forward slowly. The old servant carrying a book on his back followed him with an unhappy expression, probably because his son was being laughed at. The two of them quickly walked away.
Passers-by in the opposite direction couldn't help but look back. In fact, this young man looked very good.
