Wanli Fenghou Road in the past

In the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, it was the 14th birthday of Daliang Crown Prince Zheng Che'an, but the Crown Prince was frugal and did not hold a big banquet. Instead, he just invited the Emperor and Empress to have a family banquet in the East Palace.

"Why didn't Yuanheng come?" Zheng Chean asked Min'er after the banquet was over.

Today's East Palace is no longer the place full of spies and spies many years ago. The former "Longtan Tiger's Den" has finally become a safe haven.

Min'er is now the maid in charge of the East Palace, and little Xu Zi has also become Eunuch Xu. Over the years, the two of them have become much more stable in their work. Hearing Zheng Che'an's question, Min'er hastily stepped forward and replied, "Mr. Tang is ill."

"Sick again?" Zheng Che'an frowned, Tang Yu's illness came very suddenly, often he was fine the day before, but couldn't get out of bed the next day.

At first, Zheng Che'an thought that Tang Wei was being lazy and playing tricks, but every time Tang Wei came to apologize to himself after recovering from his illness, his face turned pale, and his movements of saluting were unnatural.

"What do the people in Shangshu's room eat?" Zheng Che said angrily, "This is the third time this month. The Tang family is so poor that they can't even pay for the medicine?"

"Prince, calm down," Xu Gonggong on the side quickly comforted: "Maybe Mr. Tang is not in good health? Didn't you always say that Mr. Tang is much thinner than ordinary people?"

Zheng Che'an nodded, and said to Min'er: "Go and deliver some herbs yourself, choose some tonics, some warm ones."

"Yes."

"What else do you want?!" Tang Zhengjiang raised his whip and lowered it: "The empress told me today that you spoke against the eldest prince again! What? Now that your wings are hardened, even the prince is not in your eyes?"

The 15-year-old Tang Wei is more beautiful than when he was a child.Seems to have gotten used to the whipping over the years, Tang Yu knelt straight and bit his lower lip hard.

Liu Cui has grown up a lot, but her appearance is still somewhat childish. She shivered and hid at the entrance of the front hall, feeling a chill down her spine.

Ah...Young Master is about to faint again... Liu Cui's tears rolled in her eyes, but she was helpless—it's not that she didn't rush to stop him, but Tang Wei was beaten even worse.

correct!Today is His Highness the Crown Prince's birthday!Liu Cui's eyes suddenly brightened: Young Master is the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness...should not let it go!

Thinking of this, Liu Cui hurried out of the mansion and ran towards the East Palace.

"Well... what are you doing!" Min'er, who had just walked out the door a few steps, was bumped into her arms by someone, she swayed and sat on the ground, her buttocks hurting from being knocked.

"I...I want to see the prince... woo woo woo..." Liu Cui was also dizzy from the bump, and shouted at Min'er crying.

"Are you not sick?" Min'er stood up and rubbed the arm that was bumped: "Your family opened the East Palace? You can meet whoever you meet!"

Liu Cui didn't listen, but when she thought that Mr. Tang would faint, she couldn't stop crying, so she sat on the ground and began to cry bitterly.

Seeing a beautiful little girl in her teens crying so sadly, Min'er couldn't help but reflect secretly: I seemed to have a bad tone just now?

The noise outside the door interrupted Zheng Che'an's thoughts on reading. He put down the book and walked out the door, a little annoyed: "What are you doing here?"

"His Royal Highness..."

Min'er was about to explain, when Liu Cui on the ground suddenly sprinted, knelt on the ground and hugged Zheng Che'an's leg: "His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness! Please... Please..."

"Bold!" Zheng Che shook off Liu Cui's arm with anger in his heroic eyes: "Who are you?"

Eunuch Xu who rushed over had already pulled Liu Cui aside, and Liu Cui knelt on the ground looking a little helpless: "Your maidservant...is Mr. Tang's maidservant..."

"Tang Yu?" Zheng Chean frowned, and waved his hand to order the palace servants to step aside: "What's wrong with Yuan Heng?"

Liu Cui's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she couldn't help crying: "Please...please...please save my young master..."

"What's going on?" Zheng Che'an was startled: "Is he seriously ill?"

Liu Cui shook her head first, then nodded again, speaking incoherently, it took a long time before she said: "Master... I'm about to faint..."

"Prepare the sedan chair!" Zheng Che'an said to Min'er, and then looked at Liu Cui who was crying. Naturally, she couldn't ask anything in her current state, but Tang Yu should be seriously ill from this posture, so she decided to do it herself. Good to see.

Zheng Che'an didn't act like a prince, and went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment in a small sedan chair for four people.

The butler saw a sedan chair parked at the door, and was about to scold him, but Eunuch Xu flashed his waist card with a cold face and said, "The eunuch who is in charge of the Eastern Palace is here."

"His Royal Highness?" At this moment, Zheng Che'an had already got off the sedan chair, and walked into the mansion. The old butler hurriedly saluted, and thinking of the scene in the front hall... hurriedly stood in front of Zheng Che'an: "His Royal Highness, stay here! I don't know why His Royal Highness is here." What are you doing?"

"Get out of the way." Zheng Che'an was very upset now, raised his hand and pushed the old housekeeper aside, and walked in without any delay.

"You're talking to me!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of the front hall, Zheng Che'an heard Tang Zhengjiang's furious roar.

"Father..." Tang Wei's voice was very low, but Zheng Che'an could still hear clearly: "My son... just like His Royal Highness, you can figure it out..."

Zheng Che raised his head abruptly, and through the door, he seemed to be able to see Tang Yu's gentle smile, and his heart warmed.

"Crack!" There was a loud whip sound in the hall.

"Bang!" Zheng Chean raised his leg and kicked the door open.

Then, Zheng Che'an froze in place.

Tang Yu was still wearing white clothes, but at this moment the white clothes on the back had been stained red with blood, and the clothes had been shredded in several places, and the blood seeped down along the fabric. Broken.

"His Royal Highness?!" Tang Zhengjiang stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do with the bloody whip in his hand.

Min'er, who was following up, took a look, and her eyes turned red. Although she had never served Tang Wei in close contact, Mr. Tang's gentleness and polite attitude towards his servants couldn't be all pretended. After several years of getting along, Min'er has already regarded Tang Wei as an elder brother, how can she bear this kind of scene?

Zheng Che'an fixed his eyes on Tang Yu who was kneeling with his back to him, and he suddenly saw Tang Yu's body shake slightly.

"Yuan Heng!" Zheng Che'an ran up quickly, squatted in front of Tang Yu and put his hands on his shoulders: "How are you?"

Tang Yu's star-like eyes slowly opened, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the expression in his eyes disappeared little by little, but there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth: "His Royal Highness..."

Zheng Che'an felt his shoulders sink, and Tang Yu seemed to have reached the limit, and passed out...

Zheng Che'an looked at Tang Yu's back full of wounds and couldn't do anything. It took a long time before he put Tang Yu's arm around his neck, crossed his knees and hugged him into his arms. He stood up slowly and looked at Tang Zhengjiang. There was no warmth in his eyes: "Master Tang, what are you doing?"

Tang Zhengjiang quietly hid the whip in his hand behind his back: "His Royal Highness is laughing, Tang Wei violated the ancestral precepts, naturally he must be dealt with by family law."

"Really?" Zheng Che'an smiled, "That's really embarrassing for Mr. Tang."

Tang Zhengjiang squeezed out a smile: "These are family matters, His Royal Highness cares about the world, so don't worry about these trivial matters."

Zheng Chean raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency's words are very true, but Tang Wei is my accompanying reader, if there is something wrong with it, His Majesty will not be able to explain it, right?"

"Prince Xie reminded me that I know how to measure," Tang Zhengjiang saluted and said, "But it's getting late now, His Royal Highness should go back to the East Palace to rest earlier, and I will take good care of it, after all, this is his 'home'. "

"What a coincidence," Zheng Che'an said in a tone of voice, "I just didn't understand the homework these few days, and I need to discuss it with Mr. Tang. I planned to invite Mr. Tang to live in the East Palace for a few days. Mr. Tang will not refute it. Is it the face of the palace?"

"Your Highness, this is against the rules." Tang Zhengjiang's expression was not very good.

"Then is your lord planning to let me, the crown prince of a country, come to your house every day?" Zheng Chean said: "Besides, Mr. Tang is extremely intelligent, and my palace also discusses his studies with him. I think His Majesty will not disagree."

Tang Zhengjiang greeted Zheng Che'an's elders silently in his heart, and suddenly thought that he was included... couldn't help but move Tang Shengxue out, but his tone softened a bit: "Nephew, we are a family, why do you have to be so alien? ?”

"Empress Tang is indeed my aunt," Zheng Che'an leaned Tang Wei into his arms, "but it's too flattering for you to call yourself uncle as soon as you open your mouth?"

"You..." Tang Zhengjiang's face turned ashen.

"I will take good care of Mr. Tang." Zheng Chean smiled innocently at Tang Zhengjiang, "Let me go."

Tang Zhengjiang wanted to say something else, but Min'er took a step forward and stood in front of Tang Zhengjiang: "I don't know which ancestral precepts Mr. Tang violated? The servant is the maid in charge of His Royal Highness, and can help you to let His Highness educate Mr. Tang. "

While speaking, Zheng Che'an had already walked to the door with Tang Yu in his arms, and Liu Cui stood aside in a daze, her eyes swollen.

Zheng Chean paused, and sized up Liu Cui for a long time: "Your young master, do you have any important things left at the house? I'll send someone to move them to the East Palace together."

Liu Cui thought for a while, then whispered: "Except for books and medicine... there is nothing valuable in Mr. Tang's room..."

Zheng Che'an's heart tightened, and he told Min'er who had just walked out, "Let this girl go with her, and arrange a room for her." After speaking, he carried Tang Yu into the sedan chair.

After carrying Tang Yu into the sedan chair, Zheng Che'an felt inexplicably blocked, raised the curtain of the car and said to Min'er beside the sedan chair, "Go and invite the imperial physician Chu."

"Your Highness... Mr. Tang is just the son of a powerful man, not a royal family, so it's not in compliance with the rules." Min'er wondered.

"Just say I'm sick." Zheng Che put down the curtain expressionlessly.

Zheng Che'an let Tang Yu lean into his arms, trying to keep his back in the air. The person in his arms was really too thin. Zheng Che'an frowned even tighter: Just now I hugged Tang Yu and talked to Tang Zhengjiang for a long time. But it doesn't feel strenuous at all...it seems like there is no weight at all.

"Prince, we've arrived at the East Palace." Min'er said softly.

Zheng Chean carried Tang Wei into the East Palace with his arms in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and carried him directly into his bedroom, where he was laid on the bed.

Imperial physician Chu was a distant relative of the first empress, and hurried to the East Palace with a medicine box.

"Your Highness... are you okay!"

Zheng Chean sat on the teacher's chair and drank tea anxiously: "I am fine, go to bed and see Mr. Tang."

Imperial Physician Chu was taken aback, didn't they all say that the Crown Prince and the Tang family had a feud?Why did he go to such great lengths to invite the imperial physician to treat the Tang family?

Doctor Chu walked to the bed full of doubts, and couldn't help but gasped.

"Your Highness... this..." Imperial Physician Chu asked tentatively, "Who did this Young Master offend?"

"Hurry up and see a doctor!" Zheng Che'an was feeling inexplicably angry right now, and it was about to catch fire.

Physician Chu hurriedly made amends, carefully took out a knife, and gently removed the clothes behind Tang Yu's back. Although the movement was very light, Tang Yu, who was in a coma, would occasionally make a few noises.

Zheng Che'an held the teacup tightly, as if the teacup would shatter in the next second.

Physician Chu applied the best hemostatic medicine to Tang Wei. The expensive medicinal materials were sprinkled on the bloody back like no money. Physician Chu bandaged it very carefully, but occasionally the gauze was still a little red.

After doing all this, Imperial Physician Chu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a towel beside him, cleaned his hands, put away the medicine box, and returned to Zheng Che'an.

"How is it?" Zheng Che'an asked.
