weird fairy tale town

Chapter 54 Disturbing the Palace

The emperor suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

He is an emperor, so it is impossible for him to love only one person, but he finally had the days when two hearts promised each other, and the piano and the instrument were in harmony. Therefore, although he did not like the prince very much for many years, he always had a father-son friendship, and he had a love for the queen's family. This vein... naturally felt a little guilty.

"Aiqing is flat." The emperor walked up to the minister of the Ministry of Industry in a few steps, although he wished to step into the prince's bedroom in front of him to find out, but he finally endured it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The servant of the Ministry of Industry stood up, and the emperor immediately asked anxiously, "You really sent the prince back? What's going on?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry cupped his hands and glanced behind the emperor with some hesitation.

The emperor immediately frowned and looked back, only to see a row of eunuchs and maids following behind him. Although all of them lowered their eyebrows, who could guarantee that few of them were eyeliners sent to him by other palaces?

But the emperor was not willing to back away because of a word from the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Wouldn't it appear that he was a majestic emperor, and he would still listen to the words of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, which would be a bit embarrassing.

Having been an official for many years, the minister of the Ministry of Industry naturally understood what was going on in the mind of their self-esteemed and arrogant emperor.

He took a step forward and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably related to the position of the crown prince. If there is anything... it may also affect your safety."

As soon as the words came out, the emperor's face immediately turned cold, and he raised his hand and drove all the eunuchs and maids out.

The originally deserted prince's bedroom, after a crowd of people squeezed in, then a crowd of people rushed out again, returning to its usual desertedness.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry cupped his hands again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me."

The emperor put away his indifferent expression, and unexpectedly showed a somewhat pleasant expression, "What do you say?"

The tender side of the ruthless emperor should make people feel like a spring breeze, but the minister of the Ministry of Industry just feels like falling into an ice cave.

Wasn't the emperor like this back then, easily erasing their entire Zhou family while talking and laughing?

However, the minister of the Ministry of Industry did not delay for a moment, and told the emperor the "story" that he had already discussed with Qi Lin.

That's right, during the seemingly peaceful ten days in the capital, Qi Lin actually managed to find the original Empress Zhou's natal family, and got in touch with Zhou Sheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In fact, under the emperor's deliberate suppression, the Zhou family gradually declined. The eldest prince and his relatives had not seen many times, and naturally they were not familiar with each other, let alone the help of his prince's influence.

But the natural blood relationship is the best inducement, and the Zhou family's hatred and resentment towards the emperor is the best nourishment.

So when Qi Lin quietly got online with the Zhou family through Bai Zhe's network, Zhou Sheng quickly responded.

There is a stalemate in the court, especially in recent years, as the crown prince, the eldest prince does not stay in the palace to manage the government with the emperor, but frequently fights outside. Many ministers are already dissatisfied with this, and they have found other princes to stand in line.

For this situation, the emperor was originally happy to see it happen.

But at this moment, what Zhou Sheng said made him squint his eyes, and his heart was filled with chills and killing intent.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty disappeared on the front line a month ago, but the team led by His Majesty did not suffer much loss at that time. This incident made His Majesty pay attention to himself. He told the minister that he was worried whether there were enemy troops in the army. A spy who intends to do something wrong to him."

"Because I'm not sure how deep the enemy's spies are hiding, or where they are sitting in my court, His Highness dragged his injuries and dared not show his face, and sneaked all the way back to the capital."

Hearing this, the emperor's thoughts changed a lot, and he couldn't help but admire the prince a little more.

But soon, the haze in my heart became stronger.

Because the prince has been fighting abroad all year round, the first thing he thought of was that there might be enemy spies, and he should be beheaded as a general by cooperating with the inside and outside.

But the emperor thought of more - if this matter is really murder, and the person who did it was not an enemy spy, but...

Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened even more.

In fact, he doesn't mind his sons fighting for what they want, but there is a premise for all of this.

That is, I am willing to give it.

If I still don't want to give it, those little wolf thieves dare to grab it... Who knows if they will be too big one day, and even dare to challenge his authority as an emperor?

The emperor's heart was icy cold, but his face still had a trace of warmth, and he asked Zhou Sheng with great concern, "How is the prince doing now?"

Zhou Sheng cupped his hands, "Physician Liu is currently treating the crown prince. His highness is seriously injured. Before I had time to inquire in detail, your majesty came."

The emperor nodded, "I'll go and have a look, you go and call some palace servants in, how can there be no one around me to wait on you." Then he walked directly to the prince's bedroom, while Zhou Sheng looked at the emperor's back , the eager look just now gradually disappeared, turned around, and went to call the eunuch next to the emperor.

The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the emperor strode in. He saw a person lying on the bed. Doctor Liu was treating him beside the bed, and there was another person in the room who had never seen before, dressed like a servant.

The heart that was originally concerned about the prince was suddenly turbulent, the emperor stopped walking very vigilantly, and looked at the man, only to see that he was born with a handsome appearance, and there was a hint of unrestrained expression between his eyebrows and eyes.

The emperor frowned, displeased, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

This is the big eunuch who has already rushed over. As soon as he came in, he saw such a bold and unreasonable person. He didn't kneel down and salute when he saw the emperor, and immediately said: "Bold! Where did the dog slave not have eyes, why don't you hurry up and give it to the emperor?" Kneel down and salute!"

Bai Zhe: "..."

Bai Zhe felt toothache and speechless for a while, it's an ancient game, everything else is pretty good, but it's really annoying to have to kneel down and salute.

But there is no way, anyway, all players are like this, so he could only kneel down and salute very perfunctorily, then pointed to the person lying on the bed and said: "I am his savior, I saved him on the grassland , He said that as long as I bring him back to the capital, he can give me countless benefits, so I sent him back."

The emperor felt a little more at ease.

It turns out that he is just a money-grubbing villain, and this kind of person is best dismissed.And he didn't salute just now, probably because he didn't understand the rules in the palace, and the emperor didn't bother to care about it.

"Your reward, Qi Ling will give it to you when the time comes." The emperor stopped caring about this villain, turned to Imperial Physician Liu and asked, "How is the crown prince?"

Physician Liu is already very old, and with a long white beard, he looks quite fairy-like.

At this moment, his face was heavy, and he turned to the emperor to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Emperor Liu has worked hard for many years, so you don't have to stick to this bit of etiquette. How is the prince?"

Imperial Physician Liu looked a little hesitant, and his hesitation made the emperor have some guesses, "But the prince is not good?"

"That's not true." Imperial Physician Liu shook his head, "His Royal Highness does have a lot of wounds on his body, some of which are more serious, but at least he is a young man with a strong body. If you take good care of him, he will recover in a short time. , It's just... the old minister found that the wounds on His Highness's body were not only traumatic, but also poisoned."

The emperor frowned, "Those foreigners in the north are so vicious?"

"Hey..." Chief Physician Liu sighed, "Your Majesty, this old minister may lose his head if he talks about this matter... But for the sake of the Emperor, for the sake of the royal blood, this old minister! I have to say it!" He wanted to kneel down and was stopped by the emperor again.

At this moment, his doubts deepened, and he also had further guesses, "I allow you to say, I will save your life!"

Imperial Physician Liu bowed deeply, "Your Majesty...the poison on the crown prince's body! It's the royal secret recipe...exactly, it's the crane-top green developed by the veteran!"

Bai Zhe: "...Pfft!"

Qi Lin: "...Pfft...cough cough cough cough!"

So what did the crane do wrong, why is it green?

Of course, at this moment, no one cares whether Bai Zhe has lost his manners or whether Qi Lin is awake. Everyone is deeply shocked by Liu Taiyi's words.

Especially the emperor, immediately frowned.

Crane top green.

That's right, this is the poison developed by Imperial Physician Liu a few years ago and dedicated to the royal family. This poison is so strong that a small amount can kill a person, and even if it doesn't die, it will probably cause irreparable damage to the body.After that, it's useless to take care of her again. It can be said that she is half a useless person.

"Fortunately..." Imperial Physician Liu changed the subject, and said again: "Fortunately, the prince did not take the poison directly, but got a little bit of contamination on a wound, so he was able to drag his broken body all the way back to Beijing. The old minister should try his best Save the prince and live up to the emperor's expectations!"

"Okay!" the emperor said in a deep voice, "The prince will be handed over to you, and I order you to cure him! Now, I want to see my good sons! What will you think when you hear the news of the prince's return! "

After finishing speaking, the emperor flicked his sleeves angrily, and strode out.

Crane top green, crane top green!

What a crane top green!

It turned out to be green on the top of a crane!

The worst plan came true, and the emperor felt uncomfortable in every possible way.

This is a poison only available to the royal family. If the spies of the enemy country really wanted to kill the prince, then how could they have the green crest?

This is simply the hands of my own family!

Going a step further, if the empire really tried to poison the crown prince with crane-top green... then which good son of his is it that stretches his hand so far?Would he dare to stretch his hand further, to the head of the emperor Lao Tzu? !

The emperor galloped all the way, and the eunuchs and maids outside the door all followed him, and disappeared in an instant.

Only the chief eunuch was left behind, kneeling in the eldest prince's bedroom with weak legs and feet, unable to recover.

Bai Zhe yawned and stood up, dragged a stool to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea leisurely, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to nibble.

"Hey, let me say, this... chief eunuch? May I ask your surname?"

This homely question made the eunuch stunned for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses, and while moving his fat body to get up from the ground, he replied: "The villain's surname is Zhu... Wait! How dare you ask my father-in-law's last name when it's your turn to eat melon seeds and drink water?!"

Although Eunuch Zhu was very timid, he was someone close to the emperor after all. He had been with him for a long time.

However, Bai Zhe just rolled his eyes, "Okay, enough face for you, sit here."
