Chen Ke has brought people back to the palace.

His Majesty has not woken up yet.

The prince was reviewing memorials in the imperial study during the day, and guarded his majesty in the Taiji Hall at night, striving to be a filial son praised by everyone.

Seeing that Chen Ke was being carried in with injuries all over his body, he stood up suddenly and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Xiao Yi?"

Chen Ke struggled to get up, but his strength was exhausted. His face was covered with blood, and he gasped heavily, looking as if he was about to die. They put gunpowder under the water, and we fell into their trap when we approached. Master Xiao unfortunately died in the line of duty, almost all of our people died, and the subordinate led people to fight to the death before escaping back. , please punish the prince."

He was full of guilt, and wept uncontrollably as he spoke.

The prince's figure flickered, "What, how many people are left alone?"

Chen Ke lowered his head, not daring to look at the prince, and said in a hoarse voice, "Return to Your Highness, it's less than a thousand."

The prince's eyes darkened, and the blood in his chest was churning. His father was on guard against him. He had no military power in his hands, and only the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace could be used. These people were all selected by him, and each of them was his confidant. He did a lot of work for him, both publicly and secretly.

He was so distressed that he was about to suffocate, "What about the 30 taels of gold?"

Chen Ke was overjoyed. Of course, it belonged to his family, and he wished to kill himself with guilt, "All, all lost."

boom!

In an instant, the prince's mind went blank. He staggered back a few steps and accidentally fell down beside His Majesty's couch. He was very flustered. These were all money from the national treasury. Misappropriation, originally he thought, after killing those assassins, return it.

Now it's all gone.

It would be fine if it was 30 taels of silver, he just filled in the hole himself.

This is 30 taels of gold, and even he can't get it out.

He roared angrily, "They are all trash, who are those assassins?"

Chen Ke remembered his master's instructions. He pretended to be frightened, and then plucked up the courage to say: "The other party is about the same number as us, and the person leading it is very arrogant. He asked his subordinates to tell His Majesty something, but do you still remember the former prince? "

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the prince, only to see the prince was surprised, and then said: "He also said that the retribution of the law of heaven is not good, let His Majesty wash his neck and wait, he will come again."

"Could it be that they belong to the former crown prince? How is this possible?" The crown prince was shocked. He knew how his father came to be the throne. With his father's means, he would never leave any worries behind.

The former prince and his staff have all been eradicated long ago.

In the end, he casually asked Gu Nanzhi, and when he learned that she was still alive and had returned to Gu's house safely, his face showed fear, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. If it wasn't for this scourge, how could he have lost the 30 taels of gold? .

He looked terrified, looked back at Emperor Zhaoming, hurriedly got up and went to the empress' bedroom, the matter was of great importance, he had to discuss it with the empress before making any plans.

The sky is bright.

The queen had already got up, and when she learned about this, she kept a sullen face and did not speak.

"What should the mother do now? If the father wakes up, he will definitely blame Gu, and maybe he will suspect that this matter is directed and acted by Gu himself." The prince was worried.

Originally, the queen was still hesitating, but she still had to be grateful for this matter, forcing her to make a decision for her, she sneered, "Then he will never wake up."

The prince opened his eyes wide in vain, "Mother..."

The queen waved her hand, "Go back to the Tai Chi Hall first, Your Majesty should take the medicine too, I will be here soon."

As soon as the prince left, she immediately asked someone to prepare.

She caresses the gorgeous pearls on her temples, her eyes are cold and radiant, she is just an old and decrepit heartbroken man, what can she be reluctant to do!

When the empress held a bowl of medicine in her own hands and handed it to the prince, his hands trembled uncontrollably, "You, empress?"

The queen laughed, "Why are you afraid? What great things can be achieved with a soft heart, this is the test you must pass to get to that position. If you don't want it, then go ahead."

The prince's eyes turned hard, "My son is not afraid!"

He picked up the medicine, stirred the spoon, and fed it to Emperor Zhaoming's mouth.

"En!" Suddenly, Emperor Zhaoming opened his eyes.

"Father..." The prince was shocked

"Boom!" He shook his hand, and the bowl hit the ground heavily, spilling the brown concoction all over the floor.

The queen was startled for a moment, but she realized it in the blink of an eye. She gave the nurse next to her a look, and cried, and threw herself in front of Emperor Zhaoming, crying with joy, "Your Majesty, you are awake, and all the concubines are worried about it." It's..."

The nun immediately cleaned up the fragments on the ground and wiped away even the spilled concoction, leaving no trace at all.

The prince also reacted, "Fortunately, the father is safe and sound. It is not in vain for my mother to kneel in front of the Buddha every day and pray for the father."

Emperor Zhaoming had just woken up, still very weak, he glanced at the damp ground, "The empress and the crown prince are here."

The prince calmly breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Emperor Zhaoming staring at him with sharp eyes, "When did the prince be so reckless? He can't even do such trivial things well. I don't know, but he thought there was something unclean in the medicine." , the crown prince wants to poison me to death!"

"Prince, do you say yes or no?"

The crown prince was terrified when he heard this, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a look of panic, "Father, my son is wronged! My son prays every day for my father to wake up as soon as possible, and I definitely don't have such rebellious thoughts. I also ask my father to learn from me. "

The queen slowly raised her eyelids, she looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty has wronged the crown prince. The crown prince has always been filial to his majesty's sick bed. His majesty shouldn't be so suspicious of the crown prince, and hurt the hearts of the concubine and the crown prince."

Emperor Zhaoming narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, "It's my fault."

He changed the subject, "Has Assassin Zhen's assassin been caught?"

The prince bit the bullet and said truthfully, he was afraid that Emperor Zhaoming would punish him, but Emperor Zhaoming didn't show any extra expression on his face after hearing this, and waved them down to rest.

The prince was uneasy, but the queen was very calm from the beginning to the end.

As soon as they left, Emperor Zhaoming's eyes darkened. With a sneer on his lips, he looked at their backs meaningfully.

He knew very well how many imperial guards there were in the East Palace, 3 people couldn't catch a few assassins, is that plausible?He also lost 30 taels of gold, and the 30 taels of gold must have entered the prince's pocket!

snort!

Who is the former prince?

He is old, but not stupid. There is no such thing as a former prince in this world!

The appetite of the queen and the prince is getting bigger and bigger...

Moon Palace.

Concubine Yugui lazily sat up from the couch, she hadn't even dressed yet.

"Sister, sister save me! Concubine Rou's bitch mother and daughter sent someone to kill me." Shen Zhui entered the palace.
