Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

I couldn't help stopping my feet, and asked the prince after a while: "Is your injury better?"

When I asked, he showed me the wound on his arm, which was wrapped in gauze and nothing could be seen.

"Does it hurt?" I asked him again.

Hearing the words, the prince curled his lower lip first, and then showed a pitiful expression, "It hurts to death, but with my brother caring, it doesn't seem to hurt so much. Brother, there is still a wound on Gu's waist and abdomen, can you help Gu take a look? The wound appears to be open."

He lifted the quilt covering his body.

I hesitated for a moment before bending down to approach the prince.He was wearing loose underwear, and he had to untie it if he wanted to see the wound.I couldn't help but look up at him, only to find that he was staring at me with burning eyes.

Meeting my gaze, the prince raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"

"The clothes... have to be undone to see the wound." I said to him.

"Then I will trouble my younger brother to help Gu take off his clothes. Gu's hand is injured." The prince showed me his injured hand again.

I pursed my lower lip, and slowly reached out to the belt of his underwear.When I unbuttoned his clothes, I felt his breath on the back of my neck, and I tilted my head a little timidly, and at this time my underwear was also untied.

The prince had no other clothes under his underwear, gauze was wrapped around his thin waist, and a medicated dressing was pasted on the wound.

I wanted to see the wound more clearly, so I couldn't help lowering my head and getting closer, "It doesn't seem to be cracked, I didn't see any... ah!"

I couldn't finish my sentence, because the prince suddenly hugged me, he wrapped my waist with one hand, his voice was lazy and a little hoarse, "It's good that it's not cracked, it's so cold, my brother is hugged by Gu."

Because of this posture, I was forced to rest my chin on the prince's shoulder.I immediately wanted to break free from him, but I only moved a few times before he gasped, "Hiss—don't move, the wound is about to burst open."

I could only stop struggling, but I didn't want to be hugged by him like this, so I could only say angrily: "Since the wound is about to open, why are you still hugging me? You, you are cold, put on your clothes and cover yourself with a quilt."

"The quilt and clothes are not as comfortable as hugging my brother. My brother is soft and fragrant."

The banter in his words was serious, I couldn't help but my cheeks were hot, and I didn't care that he was still injured, so I pushed him suddenly.

The prince seemed to realize that I was really angry, so he quickly let go, "Okay, okay, I'll tease you a few words, and I'll be so angry."

As soon as I was free, I got up quickly and turned away without looking at him.When I left, I heard him laughing at me behind me.

I got into the soft sedan chair, and after I left the Eastern Palace, I took out the medical books under the cushions, and carefully compared the human anatomy diagrams in the book with the wounds I saw earlier.

really……

I guessed right.

I'm afraid this assassination has something to do with the prince.

In the past few days, my health has improved, and when I repeatedly recalled the incident of being assassinated the day I went to the theater, I always felt that something was wrong.The assassin who cut me was obviously so fierce in front of him, how could he be stabbed in the chest by my random sword, and the prince...

I tried to pull him up, but I couldn't pull him up, and then he lost his strength and slid into the lake, and I also fell into the lake because of my unstable center of gravity.It stands to reason that the prince would not have the strength to save me, but he picked me up from the water and swam me for a long distance, not like a person who was exhausted.

The prince lost his strength and entered the water after Niu Xi fell into the lake.Niu Xi practiced martial arts, so he might be able to see the prince's problem, so he waited until Niu Xi entered the water.He left me on the boat unscathed, proving that the assassination should not be aimed at me, I am more like a witness.

The fact that I fell into the water was obviously unexpected by the prince. He didn't want me to die, so he had to show his feet in front of me.

Was he regretting the moment he grabbed my arm, or was he trying to kill me?

I just carefully looked at the wounds on the prince's waist and abdomen, and compared the medical records, the black-clothed assassin's dagger avoided the vital part just as I guessed.

The prince hugged me suddenly just now, probably because he was afraid that I would find out something.

Why did the prince make this fake assassination?

How does this benefit him?

I was trying to figure out the prince's purpose in the sedan chair, when there was a salute outside, and I heard the mixed words outside, "I have met the Ninth Prince", and asked with some doubts: "Who is it?"

The eunuch beside the sedan chair replied: "Go back to the Ninth Prince, the one who saluted was the Jinshi who was ranked in the imperial examination this year, and he is going to take the imperial examination now."

I was stunned, it turned out that during the few days when I was sick, the imperial examination had already reached the stage of the imperial examination.I stretched out my hand to lift the car curtain, and sure enough, I saw Lin Chongtan among the twenty or so people who were saluting.

Lin Chongtan's crown and belt, like a willow in the moon, is very conspicuous among the older Jinshi, even the little maid who accompanied me secretly looked at him.

"Please get up quickly." I said in a calm tone, "You are all rare talents in my dynasty. Congxi is here to congratulate you all for being appointed officials in the Golden Palace, and the laurels will be crowned with joy."

"Thank you Ninth Prince." Everyone saluted again.

I didn't look at Lin Chongtan more, put down the curtain of the sedan chair, and asked the palace servants to pick up the sedan chair again.

If my predictions are correct, Lin Chongtan probably won the number one prize this time, nine out of ten.When he was the number one scholar in high school, the prince who already valued him would value him even more.

One side is a talented minister who can be used, and the other side is the half brother of the emperor. It is self-evident who the prince will choose.

I must break the situation as soon as possible. If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be even more difficult for me to destroy Lin Chongtan.

I returned to Huayang Palace, thought more seriously about the prince's purpose of arranging this fake assassination, and called Song Nan into the palace again.I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army who was dismissed, "Song Nan, do you know the new commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"

Song Nan's eyes flashed when he heard what I said, "The new one is Lu Yiyang, the son of Earl Yongbian's mansion, and his daughter-in-law is Miss Rong San from the second prince's mother's family."

It turned out to be the case.

Sure enough, the crown prince knew that the second prince was going to rebel. Not only did he know, but he also wanted the second prince to rebel as soon as possible.

I heard from Song Nan that the second prince kept himself a lot these days and didn't contact Ma Shanbing anymore, so the prince might not be able to sit still, and the reason for the assassination was probably to let the second prince install his own people in the Imperial Forest Army.

It's just that he made the assassination, isn't he afraid that the second prince will find it strange, so he won't dare to force the palace?

With this move, the prince is trying to shake the mountain and shake the tiger?No, if you knock the mountain and shake the tiger, there is no need for the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to become the second prince.

At that time on the boat, the prince told me that he wanted me to live well.These words sound too much like what he said before he died. Is it possible that the prince wanted to fake his death at that time.

But in this way, the second prince, who wanted to rebel, would also be cautious. Unless there is a scapegoat murderer in the assassination, the scapegoat should be a prince.

With the replacement of the dead ghost prince, the prince died again, and the second prince lost two opponents at once, so the possibility that he, the eldest son, would become the prince is extremely high.

But if someone beats him and is crowned the crown prince, the second prince will definitely be angry and force the palace.

The crown prince spared my life, could it be that he thinks that I am favored by the emperor and may be crowned crown prince?

It's just that the prince's plan has gone wrong now, and he is not dead, so if the prince still wants the second prince to force the palace, there must be another move to go.

As I guessed, the assassin was arrested the next day.

It is the fourth prince.

When I arrived at the emperor's place, I only saw the fourth prince with disheveled hair, red and swollen cheeks being dragged out of the palace with heavy ties.When he saw me, he smiled at me first, then lowered his head.

At that moment, I could clearly see his eyes, which contained anger at injustice, helplessness, and discouragement.

have no choice?

discouraged?

I couldn't help but look into the hall, and a terrible conjecture emerged in my mind.

After I entered the palace, the other princes were there, as was the crown prince.I also knelt on the ground together with them, "I pay my respects to my father, long live my father, long live my father."

The emperor sitting on the top raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, as if he was exhausted, he spoke after a long time: "I know that you brothers are old and each have their own thoughts, but if I don't give you some things, you can't do it." Stretch out your hand to take it, if you dare to assassinate your elder brother today, don’t you dare to kill the king and father in the future?!"

"I dare not wait."

All the princes quickly pressed their foreheads to the ground, and I followed suit.

The emperor was silent again, the overly silent hall became extremely uncomfortable every moment, and even I couldn't help holding my breath because of the heavy atmosphere.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the chief eunuch beside the emperor screaming, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Something seemed to fall.

I looked up immediately, and saw the emperor lying on the dragon chair with his hands on his chest, as if he was in a hurry.

The crown prince was the first to run to the emperor. He first called "Father Emperor", and then hurriedly shouted at the palace servants: "Hurry up and declare the imperial physician!"

The emperor was so angry that all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital did not leave the emperor's bedchamber all night. The prince did not allow anyone to visit him at will in the name of not disturbing the emperor's recuperation. Concubine Zhuang was stopped even if she wanted to go to attend to the sick.

Seeing that there was no news of the emperor waking up for two days, Concubine Zhuang Guifei's expression became more and more uneasy, she kept walking up and down the hall, and then took my hand, "Congxi, the sky in this palace is going to change, sooner or later Knowing that the mother and concubine should have asked your father for a piece of land for you, let you leave Beijing."

When I heard the words, my expression froze, and I spoke softly to appease Concubine Zhuang, and then called Song Nan to me.

"Where did you put the letter I asked you to secretly put in the second prince's residence?" I hurriedly asked Song Nan.

Song Nan said: "This subordinate is in the second prince's study drawer."

"Song Nan, can you steal that letter back?"

Song Nan thought for a while before saying: "This subordinate tried his best, master, but what happened?"

"I was wrong before. Not only the crown prince knew that the second brother was planning to rebel, but the father also knew." I frowned and said in a low voice.

The look in the fourth prince's eyes that day was really strange. If he was wronged, he would definitely not show a discouraged expression. Being discouraged only proved that he had to bear the crime of murderer.

The only person who can make the fourth prince voluntarily bear the crime is the emperor.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to this son, even if the crime was placed on him, he wouldn't feel much, that's why the fourth prince was discouraged.

I continued: "Father is very ill. The crown prince does not allow anyone to visit. With the second emperor's disposition, he will definitely not be able to bear it. He is afraid that the crown prince will control the court, so he will definitely rebel. But the second emperor sees If you get my letter reminding you, you may not be rebellious, and the father will definitely investigate this matter secretly before the second prince rebels, maybe it will be found on me."

I am not afraid that the prince will know that I am reminding the second prince, as long as he has no evidence, he will have nothing to do with me.But if the emperor knows, even if the emperor has no evidence, he will feel in his heart that I am the second prince's accomplice, and maybe he will also blame Concubine Zhuang.

The more I thought about it, the more difficult it became. I was too aggressive before, "Forget it, don't go get that letter."

Going to get the letter now is useless, and it may be completely exposed.

I want to find a way to meet the emperor.

That day, I went to the emperor's bedroom, but I was stopped before I went in as before.The palace man who stopped me apologized and said with a smile: "Ninth Prince, His Majesty is ill, His Highness the Crown Prince does not allow anyone to enter, so as not to aggravate His Majesty's condition."

I gritted my teeth and suddenly knelt on the ground.

The palace man was startled by my action, and hurried to help me, I pushed him away, and shouted to the inside: "Brother Prince, please let me see my father, brother Prince!"

"Oh, little ancestor, don't dare to shout loudly here." The palace man looked terrified, and wanted to cover my mouth again.

I glared at him, "How dare you touch me!"

He stopped awkwardly, and said to me in embarrassment: "Ninth Prince, you should go back. When the emperor recovers from his illness, he will definitely summon you."

I knelt straight, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm kneeling here, not going anywhere, either you let me in, or you let the prince brother come out to see me."
