King's Landing [Rebirth]

The prince led the few remnants of the soldiers and starved for a whole day, and finally arrived at Yongkang County. At this time, it was almost evening, and the smoke and fragrance of every house was wafting, making their eyeballs green with greed. The light comes.

This journey was hard enough, they had no clean clothes to change and wash, and the smell of urine wafted all the way, especially after noon, when the sun was shining, the smell became even more pungent, so that some people knocked on the door of the farmhouse to ask for some Eating food makes people blast out with a look of disgust.

How can the people under the crown prince be good stubble?Not to mention the crown prince, who was treated like this, even with harsh words, not only threatened to cut off his head, but also rolled up his sleeves to prepare for the robbery.

It's a pity that the people have long been used to all kinds of wars. Seeing them so sloppy, they just think of them as rogues who came down from the mountain. They beat and beat all the neighbors with a spatula. Women, all rolled up their sleeves and picked up hoes, were more vicious than them.

The prince and his party ran away like dogs in mourning, filled with embarrassment and hatred.

The prince was empty in his belly, and first he sang the empty city plan, but later he couldn't sing the empty city plan anymore, he just felt his feet were stepping on the clouds, light and ethereal, and before that, he fell into the water and caught fire before, hurting his body and mind. Taking the golden light, seeing the passers-by covering their mouths and noses and retreating one after another, they didn't care about getting angry.

A group of people walked away, looking downcast, when they suddenly heard a burst of chaotic and loud footsteps, looked up, and saw hundreds of men dressed in trilogy flocked to them, surrounded them, and pulled out their sabers. Glittering in the setting sun, shaking them even more dizzy.

"Where did the bandits come from? Catch them!" The person in front shouted angrily, waved his hand and gave the order.

The prince became anxious when he heard it, and was about to yell at him when he heard Yu Junda shouted, "Slow down! This is His Royal Highness the prince!"

The vendors on the side of the road saw that swords were on the verge of breaking out, and they all packed up their stalls to retreat. When they heard "His Royal Highness", they all turned their eyes, were stunned, and burst out laughing.

The prince's face was flushed with anger and hatred.

The person who shouted was obviously the chief guard of Yongkang Palace, he didn't even look at him, and scolded: "King Yongkang is seriously ill, who knows that the crown prince is coming to visit him, you vulgar people dare to pretend to be the crown prince, the crime is to die! People, arrest them all, if King Yongkang is disturbed, can you bear it!"

"Yes!" The sound was deafening, and everyone immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

The prince and his party were originally quite skilled, but they suffered a lot of crimes along the way, their vitality was severely injured, their morale was low, and they were powerless to resist after a few strokes, and they were tied up tightly one by one.

The prince was furious, twisted his body and scolded: "How dare you! This trip alone is in accordance with the imperial father's will. Seeing the imperial decree is like seeing the emperor, how dare you offend me!"

Yu Junda was also flustered, and said kindly while struggling: "This is indeed the current prince, but we have brought a token."

The guard leader squinted at them with an impatient expression: "Where is the token?"

"On Gu's body!" Seeing that he seemed to be loose, the crown prince straightened his neck and glared at him with gritted teeth.

One person went up to touch him, and he really took out a roll of bright yellow objects from his chest. It looked like an imperial decree, but it was a little wrinkled. The leader of the guard took it, opened it, frowned, and looked up Looking at the prince, seeing his haughty expression, he sneered, and left the imperial decree on the ground casually: "I want to be a prince, I want to be crazy, even dare to forge the imperial decree, I am so ambitious, ten heads are not enough to chop them off! Send it to prison!"

Yu Junda was shocked: "It's all right for you to belittle His Highness the Crown Prince, but you still haven't let him go after seeing the imperial decree. Could it be that it was ordered by King Yongkang?!"

The man laughed loudly: "A group of ignorant villains who don't even know what the imperial decree looks like, it's a big joke to fool us with such a piece of silk cloth covered with black ink." He seemed afraid that they would not admit it. , picked up the imperial decree again, and unfolded it for them to see.

The prince and Yu Junda were all dumbfounded. They were exhausted after tossing and tossing all the way. They didn't think much about it in desperation. They forgot that the imperial decree had fallen into the water with the prince. The handwriting is left with ink marks of different shades.

When he came here, he held his head high, but when he arrived in Yongkang County, he lost his army and was thrown into prison. The crown prince slammed on the prison door and shouted: "You have the ability to concern others, but let the king of Yongkang come out to judge the case!"

The jailer stuffed him with a bowl of prison food contemptuously: "King Yongkang is ill, and there is no time for interrogation. He will take care of you when he recovers." He shook his head and turned to leave. See the King of Hades."

The prince was so angry that his scalp was about to explode. He kicked the rice bowl away. After kicking it, he found that he was even more hungry. The chief culprit, Wang Shuzhi, was hacked to pieces, and even the general, King Yongkang, was scolded as well.

After two days like this, the prince was already haggard, but he insisted on gritting his teeth and suffocating his anger to refuse to eat the food sent by the jailer. In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, and finally picked up the bowl and took a bite, and immediately wrinkled Frowning, he swallowed the prison meal in a tasteless way, and then belatedly remembered that there was still a jade pendant on his body, and hurriedly pulled it out and grabbed it in his hand, like grabbing a life-saving straw.

Although the prince had never been in prison before, he knew a little about the greed of the jailers in the prison. He took the jade pendant and thought about it for a while. He didn't want to miss this opportunity, and he was afraid that the jailers would swallow it for himself after sending it out. After thinking about it , still gritted his teeth and called the jailer over.

"This is a lonely jade pendant. Give it to King Yongkang, and he will know it at a glance." The prince's voice was hoarse, and his tone was always arrogant.

The jailer stretched out his hand to take it, looked it over and over, doubtful, and finally stuffed it into his waist: "Then you wait."

The prince stared at Yupei reluctantly, and then watched him leave.

The jade pendant was delivered to King Yongkang, and King Yongkang smiled, got up and changed his clothes, washed up again, and ordered someone to bring the prince out, while he went out to greet him with a bright red face, and saw the prince's figure from a distance, hurriedly He raised his eyebrows solemnly, went up to him with an apologetic face, and didn't care about the stench all over his body. He hugged him and cried loudly: "Nephew! You have suffered! It's all uncle's fault! Uncle will punish those blind Dog-eyed!"

The prince's strong breath was almost exhausted when he walked out of the prison door. As soon as he relaxed his energy, he softened and couldn't even stand on his feet. , suddenly furious: "So uncle's serious illness was deliberately faked?!"

King Yongkang didn't seem to hear him, so he dragged him into the house forcibly, raised his hand to touch his forehead, and was shocked: "Chang'er, why is your forehead so hot?" He hurriedly turned his head and told the servant next to him, " Hurry up and invite the doctor over!"

The prince did have a severe fever, and it was really rare that he didn't pass out. The breath he exhaled at this time was hot, and he snorted coldly, "Uncle, why do you have to act!"

King Yongkang didn't care about him, he just pressed him on the couch and comforted him with nice words, let the doctor take a look, and urged his servants to decoct the medicine, while he said guiltily to him: "Chang'er is good to rest, uncle is here Release all those people in the prison." Then he got up and strode out.

Immediately outside the door, a confidant greeted him.

King Yongkang smiled happily, and waved his hand to signal him to release the man. He went back and changed into a comfortable shirt, and asked the maid to smear on his face. He transformed into a sick man with a tired face, and then lay on the couch with his clothes on superior.

In the prison, Yu Junda and a group of guards were released, and they were led into King Yongkang's bedroom. Suddenly, a strong smell of herbs came to his face. Hearing that the prince had already seen the doctor and was resting, he was a little upset for a while. Knowing whether King Yongkang was intentional or not, and thinking that they were uncles and nephews after all, they gradually dispelled their doubts, and Qi Qi saluted to King Yongkang through the curtain.

King Yongkang raised his hand to open the curtain, coughed twice, and said weakly: "This king is weak, and it is inconvenient for me to stay at the bed to welcome you. My lord, please don't be surprised."

Yu Junda even said he didn't dare.

King Yongkang was about to speak when there was a sudden noise outside the door. Yu Junda looked back and saw the prince kicking away the maidservants who were trying to help him, walked in holding the door frame, and hurriedly greeted him: "His Royal Highness."

The prince raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Yongkang King's face, his anger became even hotter: "Isn't uncle still well just now, why did he suddenly fall ill?"

King Yongkang looked astonished: "Where did my nephew say this?"

"You!" The prince was so angry that his chest heaved and he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left, angrily saying, "Come back to Beijing with me!"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Yu Junda was frightened, and hurriedly chased him to stop him: "Your Highness, you are not feeling well, you should take care of him for two days before leaving, besides, King Yongkang is seriously ill, if you look at the capital If you don’t glance at it, you might not listen to it if you say it!”

"Huh! Stay here and let him make jokes? Be careful you don't know how you died!" The prince insisted on not following, and walked out the door first.

"Nephew, why did you leave so quickly?" King Yongkang hurriedly got off the bed, and was chased all the way outside the gate, "Uncle didn't know you were here today, and those people below were neglectful, it's uncle's fault, cough cough ...Nephew, don't be angry, go back with uncle to rest, you...cough cough...you are sick, it is not suitable to run around..."

At this time, the morning market had just ended, and people were coming and going on the street, peeping frequently. The news quickly spread throughout the small Yongkang County: It was really the prince who smelled so bad in the market that day!Oops, it was all a misunderstanding. King Yongkang was so ill that he chased him out to apologize, but the crown prince didn't give a good face!

When the prince saw someone turning his head to look at him from time to time, his complexion became even darker, and he left regardless of King Yongkang's persuasion.

King Yongkang stomped his feet anxiously: "Oh... that's all! Hurry up, prepare a carriage for the prince, and send some people to take care of him along the way, so that nothing goes wrong! By the way, there are still medicines, grab more medicines and prepare them! Bring some more clothes!"

The people continued to discuss: King Yongkang is so kind to His Royal Highness the Prince!His Royal Highness has some...

It is useless for the prince to have any backbone at this time, and he does not know when he will be able to return to the capital without the carriage, so he just walked towards the carriage with a flick of his sleeves and a cold face.

A surprised voice suddenly came from the side: "His Royal Highness?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice that made him gnash his teeth, the prince angrily turned his head and stared at the visitor: "Wang Shuzhi!"

Wang Shuzhi, who did not know when he came out, didn't mind when he called his name directly, and bowed his hands to salute with a smile: "Your Majesty heard that King Yongkang was seriously ill, so I came to visit him, but I didn't expect to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, alas... Your Highness is What's wrong?"

Sima Rong, who was standing behind him, raised his eyes and saw that the prince's hair was in a disheveled bun, his face was pale, his cheeks were stained with gray stains, the clothes on his body were even more disfigured, and there was still a faint lingering smell. , I was taken aback for a while, but I couldn't hold it back, and burst into a muffled laugh with a "poof".
