The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 133 Princess of Yan arrives in Shengjing
When the Queen brought everyone to the front yard, several imperial doctors were standing in the yard. Xie Xi was sitting in the main room, listening to the captain of the guards talking about the assassination incident today.
"Your Highness, there are 37 injured and 6 dead in the escort team. I have already made arrangements for them and the pensions have been paid to their families."
"Also, we gave silver to the injured people and told them to go see a doctor and get medicine."
The captain of the guard was in charge of the aftermath, but when he saw the six brothers who had lost their lives, he couldn't help but feel sad and heavy-hearted, after all, those were his confidants.
One of the brothers had just gotten married and his sister-in-law was pregnant. He really didn't know how to tell her about this.
"The pension will be doubled."
Xie Xi said: "If the silver you left behind is not enough, you can go to the account office to get some more silver and comfort the families."
He had never expected to be assassinated today. If the guards from the mansion had not arrived in time, more people would have been injured.
He will never forget the guards who lost their lives because of this.
The chief guard nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will go to the accounting office right away."
Xie Xi hummed softly and watched the captain of the guard leave.
Mu Qing, who was guarding the door, stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something important to report."
Xie Xi looked up at the doctors in the courtyard, and saw his mother coming from a distance, with his fourth brother following. His eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to signal Mu Qing not to say anything, "You just stay here and take care of Xiao Xiao."
Mu Qing followed his master's gaze, glanced quickly outside, and nodded in understanding.
Xie Xi stood up, took the cloak beside him and put it on. He had just suffered an attack of cold poison, and even though it was temporarily suppressed again, he still felt a little cold.
If my mother and fourth brother find out, I'm afraid there will be unrest again.
Xie Xi strode out of the room.
The guards and maids guarding the front yard had already knelt down to pay their respects, and several imperial doctors were kneeling in front.
"Meet the Queen."
"Everyone, get up. It's not appropriate to make a big fuss when I leave the palace this time."
After saying this, the queen kept walking and waved to Xie Xi. She looked worried and said in a gentle tone, "Xi'er, come quickly and let your mother see you."
"Mother."
Xie Xi quickened his pace and walked in front of the queen. He frowned slightly and sighed inaudibly, "Why is mother here too? Father actually indulges mother's willfulness."
"It's not peaceful outside the palace today, and my mother shouldn't leave the palace."
"Xi'er, don't worry about your mother. She has guards around her, and there are imperial guards patrolling the city. Even if there are assassins, your mother is not afraid."
Seeing Xi'er's slightly pale face, the queen couldn't help but feel distressed, her eyes were red again, she raised her hand and stroked his shoulder, muttering: "Xi'er has suffered, those assassins are really bold, they dare to assassinate the prince under the feet of the emperor!"
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. Your father will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible and find out who is behind this!"
"This time, my mother came with a lot of good medicinal herbs for nourishing the body, including ginseng and deer antlers. Later, my mother will send someone to tell the kitchen to stew ginseng for you to nourish your body. You should eat and drink as needed."
"If it's gone, send someone to the palace to tell mother, and she'll send it back..."
Xie Xi: “…”
He only said one sentence, but his mother would give him thousands of instructions.
His mother has always been the best mother in the world.
Xie Xi's eyes softened, as if the cold poison in his body could not suppress the warmth in his heart.
Seeing his mother's eagerness to send all the good things to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Xie Xi rubbed his brows helplessly, "Mother, I am fine and not injured. Please keep the ginseng you brought for now."
The queen looked at him carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you. As long as you're not hurt, it's good."
"By the way, Xier, is it Xiaoxiao who was injured?"
"Ah."
Xie Xi's tone was a little depressed, "Mother, Xiaoxiao was trying to help me block the arrow. The arrow was coming for me. If Xiaoxiao hadn't blocked it in time, I would have been the one to bear the arrow."
The queen didn't expect Lu Xiaoxiao to protect Xi'er at the cost of her own body. She was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "Xiaoxiao is indeed a good girl. You must treat her well in the future."
As she spoke, the queen glanced at Xiao Shuyi casually.
Xiao Shuyi's back stiffened: "......?"
Don't stare at her, she never intended to compete with Lu Fengyi for the Crown Prince's favor! !
She is very self-aware. She became the Crown Prince's concubine only to serve as a shield for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The queen only glanced at her and quickly looked away, "Did the imperial physician say when Xiao Xiao would wake up?"
Xie Xi: "Dr. Zhen said she will wake up in two days."
"That's good."
The queen felt relieved and called for Doctor Zhen.
Doctor Zhen quickly replied, "I am here."
Queen: "You don't have to come to the palace these few days. Before Xiaoxiao wakes up, you have to come to the Prince's Mansion every day to treat her."
Doctor Zhen agreed.
The Queen's original purpose of this trip was to see how Xie Xi was doing. Now that she saw him standing in front of her in good health, she felt relieved and wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible.
But just as the queen was about to leave, she remembered that Ajin was also there.
The two brothers seemed unable to exchange even a single word.
It's all her fault. As soon as she saw Xier, she completely forgot about Ajin's existence.
"Xi'er, Ajin is here too."
The queen pulled Xie Jin's sleeve and breathed a sigh of relief. "Come to think of it, Xi'er, during the time you were away from Beijing, A Jin never left the house. I don't know what he did in the house all day. Today, you two brothers should have a good reunion."
Hearing this, Xie Xi's gaze fell on Xie Jin with a hint of ambiguous coldness. It turned out that when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, his fourth brother had followed him secretly.
Now that there are so many people around, Xie Xi does not want to expose his fourth brother's true face in front of his mother. After all, they are brothers from the same mother. If he fights with his fourth brother, the person who will suffer the most will only be his mother.
When Xiaoxiao wakes up, he will go back to the palace and explain everything to his father.
Xie Xi: "Since mother has said so, why don't you stay in the mansion today?"
"Since Second Brother invites me, Jin will not refuse."
In front of his mother, no matter how much he hated Xie Xi, Xie Jin still behaved gentle and polite, showing his deep brotherly love.
It’s a pity that when he came here today, he didn’t get to see Xie Xi’s joke.
Seeing the deep affection between the two brothers, the queen was very pleased. She raised her hand and patted Xie Jin on the shoulder: "Okay, then Ajin will stay here to look after your second brother. Mother will return to the palace first."
Xie Jin replied in a very obedient manner: "Don't worry, mother. I will stay well in the Prince's Mansion."
Hearing this, Xie Xi's eyes dimmed and he smiled without saying anything.
-
The Queen Mother and her people came in a hurry and returned to the palace in a hurry.
Only then could Eunuch You step forward to speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He handed the imperial edict to Xie Xi and said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness, this is the imperial edict given to you by the Emperor."
Xie Jin's face changed slightly, and he stared at the imperial edict with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly what was written on it.
Xie Xi knew clearly that it was probably the imperial edict that Lu Xiaoxiao was promoted to Lu Liangyuan. However, Xiaoxiao was still in a coma and could not receive the edict. He could only wait for her to wake up and then read the edict to her.
This imperial edict belongs to her and only she can accept it.
Xie Xi took the imperial edict but did not open it. "I understand."
"Eunuch You, does the emperor have anything else to say?"
Eunuch You: "The emperor has instructed the imperial doctors to treat His Highness and Empress Fengyi well."
"I also asked the old slave to bring some medicinal herbs and put them outside the yard."
As he spoke, Eunuch You's expression became serious: "I wonder if Your Highness is feeling unwell?"
His Majesty is most concerned about the health of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he always asks clearly, and only after returning to the palace can he answer His Majesty's questions.
Xie Xi shook his head: "Tell father that I am fine and don't worry about me. Also, if father has no other instructions, you should return to the palace as soon as possible. Father is used to your service."
"As for the other imperial physicians, let them all return to the palace. Imperial Physician Zhen will be the only one left."
In fact, with Ling You around, there was no need for Doctor Zhen to stay. It was just that Ling You had a special identity, so Doctor Zhen stayed to cover for him.
"Old slave understands."
Eunuch You had originally planned to return to the palace. It was just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said, the Emperor was used to his service, and if he didn't go back, it would be very inconvenient for the Emperor.
"Your Highness, this old slave will leave first."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
The front yard, which originally seemed a bit crowded, suddenly became a lot more spacious.
Doctor Zhen received an order from His Highness to pack up the medicinal herbs that had been sent to him. However, the Queen brought nine boxes of herbs, and Eunuch You also brought a lot. He couldn't sort them out by himself, so he simply called Doctor Cai to help.
The two went to the pharmacy together.
Xiao Shuyi stood in the yard, feeling conflicted. Should she go in and see Lu Fengyi?
Or should I turn around and go back to Qingshuyuan?
She wanted to see Lu Fengyi.
Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but stare at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xie Xi seemed not to notice. He said calmly, "Shu Yi, take Fourth Brother to Mingzhi Court to rest first. When I finish dealing with things, I will go over to meet Fourth Brother."
He said the last sentence to Xie Jin.
Xie Jin also understood in his heart that his second brother felt that his presence in the front yard was a hindrance.
Xie Jin nodded: "Okay, then I will go to Mingzhiyuan to wait for my second brother."
"Fourth Prince, this way please."
Xiao Shuyi walked in front with Qingcong.
Mingzhi Courtyard is not far from the front yard. If you walk slowly, it will take less than a quarter of an hour.
Xie Jin got up and walked away.
After he could no longer see Xie Jin's back, Xie Xi slowly withdrew his gaze. His eyes darkened and he couldn't help but wonder whether the second wave of assassinations today had anything to do with his fourth brother.
He had already heard from Xiaoxiao's inner voice about the first wave of assassinations. They were people sent by Concubine Shu to capture Xiaoxiao.
The second wave of assassinations was aimed at him, and they wanted to kill him...
"Mu Qing, come with me."
Xie Xi went to the study.
Mu Qing replied yes, and hurried out of the main room, following the footsteps of his master.
The study door was closed.
Xie Xi sat at the desk and looked up at Mu Qing, "What did you want to report to me just now?"
Mu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Master, I discovered that the arrows used by those assassins did not seem to be from the Kingdom of Li."
"You mean..."
Xie Xi said thoughtfully: "Go and get that arrow."
Mu Qing turned around and left the study, then went to the main room and brought the triangular arrow that was still stained with Lu Fengyi's blood to his master.
Xie Xi lowered his head and carefully examined the three-edged arrow. His eyes gradually turned cold. "It is definitely not something that the craftsmen of Li Kingdom can make."
Unexpectedly, with my father's birthday banquet approaching, all kinds of evildoers dared to reach out to Shengjing.
Do they think that if they kill the crown prince, the Kingdom of Li will fall?
It’s so ridiculous!
"Let's check where this three-edged arrow came from. Also, go to the beggars' den in the south of the city and ask. There have been more people from other countries in Shengjing City recently."
The beggars' den in the south of the city are all spies arranged by Xie Xi. Those beggars can remember clearly any unfamiliar faces that come to Shengjing City.
However, the information they could collect was very limited, and could only be gossip that had not yet spread among the neighbors.
"My subordinates will do it now."
Mu Qing just turned around, and suddenly, he remembered something else, so he turned around again, "Master, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Not long after the master brought Lu Fengyi back to the palace, I saw the Princess of Yan enter the city."
The Princess of Yan entered Shengjing with great fanfare, with many maids and guards following her. When she entered the city gate, there was a very long queue.
Moreover, the Princess of Yan did not come in a carriage, but sat in a sedan chair, carried by guards.
On the side of the sedan chair, there was a flag arrogantly planted -
The flag had "The Princess of Yan" written on it, as if the girl was afraid that the people in the city would not remember that she was the Princess of Yan.
At that time, Mu Qing took a quick glance and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion without looking at it again.
"I didn't expect the Princess of Yan to act so quickly."
Xie Xi felt that the Princess of Yan State was most likely here for Shi Weian.
I just don't know when the Princess of Yan will take action.
"I know about this. Go check the matter of the three-edged arrow first."
Xie Xi frowned and tapped the table with his fingers: "By the way, let Liu Hua come back."
"My subordinates will do it now."
Mu Qing left.
……
At the same time, the Emperor of Li had already learned that the Princess of Yan had come to Beijing.
After the Princess of Yan arrived in Beijing, she hadn't even decided which inn to stay in, so she sent someone directly to the palace gate to deliver a note.
The Emperor of Li sneered, "The Princess of Yan showed up at this time just for her consort."
He did not forget that Xier had mentioned to him that after Shi Weian became the Governor-General of Jiangnan, he sent a lot of gold to the Yan royal family. It is likely that all the gold in the Yan treasury was prepared by Shi Weian.
He had no intention of saving Shi Weian's life, but now that the Princess of Yan had arrived, he had to first think about how to deal with Shi Weian in order to make the Yan royal family bleed heavily?
The guard who came to report the matter knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and continued: "The envoy of Yan State also said that the Princess of Yan State wanted to enter the palace to see His Majesty."
"not see."
Emperor of Li: "Send a guard to the Prime Minister's residence and ask Prime Minister Luo to come to the palace to see me."
