Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 217 The second prince was seriously injured

The emperor was concerned about the third prince and asked the imperial doctor waiting outside to come in.

But the third prince refused.

The queen always felt something was wrong.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Concubine Jing covering her heart and falling on top of the palace maid.

"Aifei!"

The emperor was shocked.

The imperial doctors who wanted to check the third prince's pulse naturally went to Concubine Jing.

The queen watched calmly and found that the third prince seemed to be relieved.

Weird, really weird.

Concubine Jing fainted, and the emperor became angry. Seeing that the queen was still here, he drove her away with a few words.

The queen suppressed her anger and left humbly.

As soon as she returned to her palace, she immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Concubine Jing, especially the third prince Prince Rui.

Suddenly, he remembered that the second prince had said before leaving the capital that Prince Rui's Mansion also had an informant, and he waved his hand to call his confidants, asking them to contact Prince Rui's Mansion's informant to see if there was anything abnormal in Prince Rui's house recently.

Before anything could be found out, the eunuch hurried over and said that the palace maid named Su Jin had recruited Concubine Jing, and that the person behind the scenes was the empress. The empress almost fell down with anger.

How could she not know whether she did it or not?

Well, it took a long time to do it, but it was actually to target her.

Concubine Jing is really good at acting. She pretends to be deeply affectionate, but she is so ruthless that she can even kill the palace maid who has been with her for ten years.

Does Concubine Jing want to replace her and become the queen herself?

The queen was angry and a little panicked. Concubine Jing used the slave she had used for ten years to blame herself. She thought she was well prepared, fearing that someone around her would really come into contact with Su Jin.

However, this time it was beyond her expectation. After the emperor checked furiously, he found nothing on her.

After all, the medicine powder and wax pills did not appear out of thin air. The people on my side had no purchase records, and there was no lack of medicine in the imperial hospital. In the end, nothing was found in the investigation, which made the emperor furious and killed the dying palace maid with a stick.

Concubine Jing fell seriously ill.

But this time Murong Jiu no longer entered the palace.

When she returned to the palace, the master gave her another pill, which had no effect on her body.

However, he told the outside world that he had fetal gas and needed to be nursed back to health, so he would no longer have any visitors.

Because the third prince did not let the imperial doctor see him, the emperor did not know about Concubine Jing's plan. He only thought that the conspiracy was aimed at Concubine Jing, but Murong Jiu suffered the crime. After all, he still felt a little guilty and was sent to death. A lot of supplements came over, and there was no mention of letting her go into the palace again to see Concubine Jing's health.

Concubine Jing really lost her wife and lost her troops this time. Su Jin was very useful. He was her confidant, could give her advice, and was the most loyal. The plot against Murong Jiu and Divine Doctor Zhai this time was Su Jin's idea.

Without Su Jin, it would be inconvenient for her to even send a message to the Third Prince's Prince Rui's Mansion. Almost all the other people were arranged by the emperor for her. Although the emperor wanted to protect him, in her eyes, it didn't look like surveillance. .

Concubine Jing was worried because she was worried about the third prince's hidden illness, and her pretended illness became more serious.

But these have nothing to do with Murong Jiu.

She planned not to leave the house again until she gave birth to a child.

The third prince has been hiding his ambitions over the years and allowed himself to be arranged by the emperor. However, he must have always believed that he was the future prince. If there is a hidden illness now, he will definitely be afraid of being expelled from the competition for heirs in the future.

<divclass="contentadv">The news came from the palace lord Jun Yuyan’s informant that the third prince had not asked the imperial doctor to see him, so the emperor would not know about this and would not recruit doctors from all over the world to treat the third prince.

The third prince didn't let the emperor know this time, so he didn't dare to let the emperor know.

The informant in Prince Rui's Mansion said that the Queen was suspicious of the third prince. This suited Murong Jiu's wishes, so she had someone reveal to the Queen's people that eight doctors in the capital had secretly died.

In addition, the Queen had already learned from her informant that many maids had died in Prince Rui's Mansion. With the Queen's ability, she could immediately think that the Third Prince had a hidden illness.

In this case, there was no need for Murong Jiu to do anything else. He could just concentrate on raising the baby and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

She immediately sent a message to Jun Yuyan about what happened in the palace, so that he would not worry if he heard from others, such as the second prince, that she had fetal movement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the letter was sent out, I received a message from Jun Yuyan.

"The second prince was seriously injured and has returned to the capital?"

Murong Jiu read the letter carefully and became even more contemptuous of the second prince.

The army arrived at the border and joined her father's army. Soon after, the Xiongnu launched an invasion of the palace, using a large number of fire and thunder. Seeing the power of the fire and thunder, the second prince was shocked on the spot. He must have fallen off his horse on purpose. .

He wanted to use this to get injured, but unexpectedly, a fire thunder was thrown to the side. Several of his guards rushed up to block most of the impact for him, but the iron filings still exploded into his body, and he was actually injured.

Murong Jiu never thought that the second prince would be so greedy for life and afraid of death. Why didn't he find out that he was such a coward in his previous life?

You deserve to be injured!

Jun Yuyan said that the second prince had always wanted to find an opportunity to withdraw from the border battlefield, because the closer the army was to the battlefield, the more frightened the Huns were among the people, but Jun Yuyan did not give him a chance until he experienced the Xiongnu invasion. Only then did he shoot himself in the foot.

Murong Jiu cursed a few times and deserved it, and a smile appeared on his face.

I thought to myself, why didn’t the fire and thunder blow up the second prince to death?

But then I thought about it, wouldn’t it be too cheap to blow up the second prince directly?

It should hurt him to the point of bone marrow and make him miserable.

The second prince originally pretended to be injured, probably because he wanted to come back and fight for power, but now that he is really injured, there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, Jun Yuyan said that it would be better if the second prince left. They could not take out the fire thunder directly and had to develop it at the border so that the emperor would not become suspicious.

After privately developing Fire Thunder, although the people would praise Jun Yuyan for his ability to repel the Huns, the emperor would be even more suspicious of him.

Fortunately, my father, General Fu, left early. After learning about the power of the Huns' weapons through a secret letter, he fought against all opinions and built the city wall. Iron tools collected from surrounding towns were melted and poured into the city wall, which made it difficult for the Huns to attack the city.

Murong Jiu felt even more ridiculous when he thought that if the second prince was not injured, he could still earn military honors with his husband.

After lighting the letter on the candle and watching it burn, Murong Jiu clasped his hands together and prayed to heaven to bless his father, brother, and husband for their safe return.

Within a few days, a grain shortage broke out in the capital. Because a large amount of grain and grass were given priority to the border soldiers, and the autumn harvest was fruitless, grain merchants across the country continued to raise grain prices.

The food stores under Murong Jiu did not increase prices, but most of the food and grass were donated to the frontline soldiers. Everyone in the capital knew this, so the amount of food sold every day was limited.

In addition to selling food, Murong Jiu also opened a tent and gave out porridge in the name of Prince Ling's Mansion. There were long queues every day, and there were already refugees appearing around the capital.

Even the emperor was annoyed about the lack of food and lost his temper several times in the court.

At this moment, hundreds of carts of grain transported back from the seaport, personally escorted by Shopkeeper Chai, arrived in the capital one after another.
