The servants were collecting the corpses and cleaning the battlefield, and the injured guards and servants were being bandaged for treatment.In this battle, only five people were injured, and one of them was slightly injured. The man in black accidentally chopped off the horse's leg. When he fell off the horse, he hit a rock and broke his arm by chance.
It's more like bad luck than injury.The most injured hero not only did not receive the praise he deserved, but was ridiculed by his colleagues for a long time, and his face was blue with anger.And the most sad thing for the guard with the broken arm was the cut horse.That steed was brought up by him himself, and to him, he is as kind as a brother.However, the steed's life is not in danger, but it's hard to say whether it can continue to partner with him.
Before the emperor left Beijing, he specially sent Imperial Physician Liu to stay in Prince Rui's mansion, expressing his importance to Prince Rui's concubine's birth.Naturally, Doctor Liu was also brought out.Shui Jue took Liu Yuyi's family to stay here for a while.
Although Doctor Liu specializes in gynecology and pediatrics, he still has the basic medical skills of treating trauma.Doctor Liu was guarding Chen Ning'an just now, fearing that Chen Ning'an would be shocked.Busy looking after the wounded now.When he looked at the guard with the severed hand, he couldn't help but make a few jokes.Fortunately, the fall was not heavy, and the broken part will grow back after a period of time, and it happens to be the left arm, otherwise life would be inconvenient.
Shui Jue stopped participating in these follow-up matters only after condolences to the wounded.She carefully wiped off Fang Tian's painted halberd that had finally seen blood, and sighed for a long time, thinking that her weapon had finally seen blood, and was no longer a decoration.Presumably the weapon has a spirit, and it will be happy.
Chen Ning'an sat in the back room waiting with her big belly. Although she didn't see the battle outside and didn't let her touch the blood, she was definitely worried.Especially Shui Jue personally led the guards to fight. Although she already knew Shui Jue's force value, she was still worried. It was not until Shui Jue changed into a bloody clothes and came to see her that she was safe and sound, and she was relieved.It's just this reassurance, but I feel tired, and I feel a dull pain when I'm alone.
The maid hurriedly brought over the anti-pregnancy medicine that had been warmed on the stove, and Chen Ning'an drank it and fell into a deep sleep.Physician Liu rushed to check the pulse, and said there was no major problem, but after that, he had to rest well.
After hearing this, Shui Jue breathed a sigh of relief.Women in this world are very fragile, she is really afraid that Chen Ning'an will do something wrong.
It was Lin Daiyu who impressed her.The child actually ran to the front yard to watch the boys dispose of the corpse, and he was not scared to cry yet.It can only be said that children's curiosity is really boundless.Shui Jue saw that she was full of energy and didn't seem to be able to sleep, so she simply sent her to lead the servant girl to take care of the wounded.She is still young, so she doesn't shy away from these things.Now that I see too many men, I won't be distracted by some crooked melons and cracked dates in the future, and ruin the reputation of the princess' companion.
Nanny has already turned a blind eye to Shui Jue's unique way of teaching.I make complaints every day, repeated complaints, and I don’t want to complain if I complain too much.Habit is a terrible thing, and Mammy feels no discomfort now.
Fortunately, I have no children, otherwise I would teach my daughter the way the princess taught Daiyu.Nanny Li thought to herself.
And Shui Jue went out to kill the man in black, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion was extremely calm.Shui Jue had personally killed Diao Nu when he was very young, but now he just killed some assassins, and he didn't use any fake rocks. The servants are so calm.
To be honest, when Shui Jue used Fang Tian to draw a halberd, the servants were a little surprised.I'm not surprised that this kind of weapon is used by a Hercules, but I feel that Princess Changxing's usual style of painting seems to be more suitable with a pair of sledgehammers.Just smash it like that, and everything becomes meatloaf.Unexpectedly, Princess Changxing's favorite weapon is quite gentle (?).
When those guards fought with Shui Jue, although they already knew that Shui Jue's weapon was Fang Tian's painted halberd, they still imagined that Shui Jue was holding a big stone, and with a "click", everyone became meatloaf look.
Of course, the fact that Prince Rui's Mansion had such a hard time with meatloaf was definitely not because it was getting late and he hadn't eaten yet, so he was hungry.
...............................................................................
Shui Jue was worried that someone would come to harm them, so she specially arranged for a vigil.But it seems that the crown prince has really neglected this place, and the first prince's people are not as many as imagined - it is also possible that the first prince did not take the lives of Shui Jue and Chen Ning'an seriously.For him, all he needed was the incident of "the crown prince sent people to assassinate Princess Changxing and Princess Rui".
When Shui Jue woke up, what she saw was her brother's pair of panda eyes.
"I've heard for a long time that my father said that my brother looks like an auspicious beast, so I gave the auspicious beast to my brother." Shui Jue took the maid's handkerchief and rubbed his eyes, "It really looks like it."
Shui Jing's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand to hold Shui Jue's arm tightly.
"Brother, it's not right for a man and a woman to get married. It's wrong to break into my sister's boudoir." Shui Jue yawned, "Go see sister-in-law, I'll sleep for a while."
"What nonsense, I'm your elder brother. I brought you up since I was a child. I haven't seen anything." When Shui Jing said this, the expressions of the mothers behind her changed.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Shui Jue sighed, brother's mental state is not right, it seems that he already knew what happened last night, "Look, I'm fine, and I'm not injured."
Only then did Shui Jing let go of Shui Jue's hand, opened his arms, and hugged Shui Jue tightly in his arms, his voice choked up: "But it scared me, I only have you as a relative."
Shui Jue's nose was a little sore after listening to Shui Jinghou's frightened words.Shui Jue buried her head in Shui Jingjin's nest, and said "hmm".
Who said the heavenly family has no family?With this elder brother, this life is really not in vain.
"Brother, tell me what's going on outside." Shui Jue asked curiously while lying in Shui Jing's arms.
Shui Jing patted Shui Jue on the back, let go of his embrace, and now his expression is normal.He took a pillow and put it behind Shui Jue, and touched his face with the handkerchief brought by the maid, before answering Shui Jue's curiosity.
It turned out that the first attack on the emperor was true. Of course, the assassin was killed by the sergeant before he even touched the emperor's tent.Since no one was left alive, the emperor naturally couldn't find out who was behind the scenes, and those people were wearing the clothes of enemy soldiers, so they were naturally treated as enemy assassins.
"Isn't this a bit wrong? If it's really an assassin, in order not to be discovered, why do you have to find a set of clothes similar to our soldiers? At least it must be Han Chinese clothes, right?" Shui Jue frowned. Can you provoke the relationship between the father and the generals. Are they foolish to come to 'assassinate' in the costumes of the enemy country? And the enemy country is preparing to surrender. If they are discovered and send assassins, the negotiations on surrender will be impossible. conduct."
"What my sister said is true." Shui Jing looked proud. My sister is smart. "Actually, it is because the prince of Xining County does not want the credit to be taken away by the father, so he wants peace talks. If there is a peace talk, after the father goes to the frontier If there is no war, then the Royal Conquest will not be established. Even if the peace talks succeed in the future, it will not have much to do with the father. After all, the father cannot go to the peace talks. For this reason, they also intend to accept many treaties that are not conducive to our dynasty."
"So the assassin was written and directed by the emperor himself." Shui Jue smiled, "Not only did he give a reason to send troops, but he can also use this excuse to transfer away the cronies of the king of Xining in the army."
"Yes. That's the original purpose." Shui Jing said with sarcasm in his eyes, "Brother and I did not arrive all the way with the father. When the father was attacked, my brother and I were in two different armies to condolences. Soldiers. After the news of the attack on the father came out, there was a lot of commotion in both the army and the capital. This angered the father."
Shui Jue smiled: "Calm down a little bit, and you will know that it is impossible to hurt the father when you are attacked. Those who are moved are those who care about the father, or the throne, right? The kind that treats the father The emperor's death has been thought about thousands of times in his heart? I guess... Is it because the father was furious when he learned about it."
"Nothing on the surface." Shui Jing felt a little thirsty, and asked his servants to make a cup of tea, "On the surface, he didn't mention this at all."
Shui Jue tightened the fur cape she was wearing, and pulled the quilt up again.Although the ground dragon was burning, there was still a cold wind when the door was opened: "I must be very angry in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a move."
"Yes." Shui Jing's eyes were a little dazed, "Sister, do you think it's interesting for the father to test his son's heart with news of his death?"
"It's boring." Shui Jue replied without hesitation, "When the father was alive, I'm sure none of his sons would think about his safety. But if he died, no one else was allowed to take care of him. Are you planning? If you really don’t plan, then you are stupid, right?”
"Yes." Shui Jing's eyes gradually cleared up, "So this is a boring thing."
"Didn't my brother tell me a joke last time, saying that a poor man was kicked out of a restaurant and swore to God that if he became rich, he would be bowed down and received respectfully by the restaurant. Then he became rich, and he was bowed down by the restaurant Respectful reception? In fact, the essence of the restaurant’s respectful reception of those who can pay and drive away the poor who cannot afford food has not changed. When the father is alive, we are respectful; Intention. Is this a very normal thing? The so-called whether there is any abnormality is just whether you believe that he is dead or not. There is no difference between people who move and people who don’t.” It's really meaningless to try something, it's just a self-deception. It's ridiculous and sad to be used by others."
Shui Jing was stunned for a moment, and keenly grasped the key point in Shui Jue's words: "Isn't the prince's guard here?"
"It's not the prince, it's the elder brother." Shui Jue sneered, "It may be that the elder brother misled the prince to lead his troops to attack the barracks."
Shui Jing suddenly realized: "No wonder the prince looked angry when he saw the father. The banner he played was that someone was holding the father hostage, and the intention was to harm the father. Maybe he really thought so."
Shui Jue sighed: "No matter what he thinks, it's meaningless."
"I will go and plead with my father." Shui Jing looked a little tired, "Maybe I will be fined to kneel."
"Then brother has to wear thicker clothes and wear thick pads on his knees." Shui Jue said displeased, "The weather has been cold again these days. Looking at the weather today, maybe it will snow."
"I know." Shui Jing poured down a mouthful of the temperature, "I'm going to see the princess."
"Go, my sister-in-law is also terrified." Shui Jue yawned again, "I'll sleep a little longer."
After speaking, Shui Jue threw away the cloak and retracted it into the quilt.
Shui Jing tucked the blanket for Shui Jue with a doting expression, whispered a few words to the servants, and then left.
.................................................. ............................
"Is Jue'er frightened? Is the baby in your concubine's belly okay?" When Shui Jing entered the imperial study, the emperor was looking down at the memorial without raising his head.
"My sister drank the tranquilizing medicine and fell asleep. The child is fine. The princess woke up for a while and fell asleep after drinking the medicine." Shui Jing looked at the emperor who seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, and his heart was also heavy. "Father The emperor also pay attention to rest, don't be too sad."
"These posts are all about abolishing the crown prince... No, not abolishing the crown prince, but killing the crown prince." The emperor closed the memorial and said calmly, "Should I kill the crown prince?"
Shui Jing clenched his fists and slowly knelt down: "I once persuaded the prince not to get angry with the eldest brother. The crown prince is the heir of a country, as long as he is safe and stable, no matter how many people support the eldest brother, it is useless. "
The emperor lowered his head and looked at Shui Jing with a gloomy expression: "You really dare to say it. Then the prince... what did you say?"
Shui Jing kowtowed three times before saying: "Prince said, Gu is different from you. Gu only has father, and Gu's father is not only father, but also father. After hearing that sentence, son The minister knows that it is useless to persuade the prince with any words."
The emperor's hands trembled: "But, his son is going to kill my father!"
"My minister also complained a lot about the prince," Shui Jing said with a blank expression, as if he didn't care that his frank words would offend the emperor. The emperor has the heart to kill."
The emperor looked at Shui Jing with piercing eyes, Shui Jing's back was straightened, but his head was lowered.
"I don't want to make my father sad." Shui Jing's voice was choked with sobs, "Although I can't find evidence to prove what I said now, all this is my subjective judgment. But this is what I think .”
"Go and kneel outside." The emperor lowered his head again and waved his hands.
"Thank you, father." Shui Jing kowtowed three times again, then walked out of the imperial study, and knelt down on the steps outside the palace gate.
The emperor sat there for a long while, but the book did not turn over.He suddenly asked: "Is the sky outside very gloomy?"
"Yes, it's snowing lightly." Zhao Yi, the chief eunuch who had been standing in front of the set board, replied.
The emperor continued to sit still.After a while, the emperor said: "Ask someone to get Shui Jing a hat and a cloak, and a smiling muff for him to wear, so he won't be frozen."
"Yes." Zhao Yi bowed and stepped back.
Sure enough, it was right not to offend Prince Rui all along.
.................................................. ............................
When Shui Jue entered the palace, she saw that a thin layer of snow had accumulated on Shui Jing's hat and cloak kneeling in front of the steps.
Seeing Shui Jue's arrival, Shui Jing quietly lifted the cloak a crack, revealing the small muff inside.
Shui Jue's eyes fell on the stone steps.Although Shui Jing was already sitting and getting ready when he went out, the bottom of the leggings tied from his calf to his knees was thick cowhide, and several layers of lambskin were sealed on top of the cowhide. When he went out, Shui Jing said that walking was difficult.But after all, it was snowing and the ground was a little wet and cold, so Shui Jue was still worried.
But she had to wear gloves for acting, so she glanced at Shui Jing worriedly, made a weeping expression, and asked someone to notify the emperor.
Women in the harem cannot enter the imperial study, but this does not include the emperor's flesh and blood.So Shui Jue can go in.
Shui Jue hadn't stood up after being baptized in the imperial study, when the emperor said, "Jue'er, are you here to intercede with Shui Jing or the prince."
Shui Jue sobbed: "My daughter is not here to intercede, but to tell Father the truth about what she has found."
"Oh? What's the truth?" the emperor asked.
Shui Jue knelt down and said, "When facing the assassin, my daughter personally led the guards out."
"It's not hurt, is it?!" The emperor hurriedly put down the memorial.
Shui Jue shook her head: "When my daughter went out, the assassin said that she was ordered by the prince's elder brother."
The emperor sighed.Shui Jue's words sounded like a complaint, but they were actually pleading for mercy.If you want to conceal your identity, why say that you are ordered by the prince?If it is said that it is ordered by the prince, why wear night clothes?Besides, Shui Jue and Princess Rui are both outsiders, and the crown prince and even Prince Xian are only under house arrest. Why should they be killed?
If it is said that the crown prince did it so clearly on purpose, it is impossible to blame other people.With the matter of the crown prince attacking the barracks, even if it was found out later that there was someone else's deception, in order to block the mouths of the world, the position of the crown prince must also be abolished.
Under his control, the current situation of the prince is just right, and there is no need to do such a deadly thing.
"You go outside too..." the emperor paused, "Kneel in the outer hall."
"Thank you, father." Shui Jue thought he could kneel with his brother.It's much warmer inside, though.
Shui Jue came out of the imperial study, and when he was about to kneel down in the outer hall of the palace, Zhao Yi personally brought a cushion over: "The emperor said, the princess is weak and frightened, just kneel on the cushion. The princess is tired You can sit on your knees, and when someone comes, the old servant will remind the princess."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao." Kneeling on the soft cushion, Shui Jue thought to himself that the emperor was indeed much more cruel to his son.
.................................................. ............................
It has been an hour since Shui Jue knelt, which made Shui Jue very worried about his elder brother who had been kneeling outside the door for a longer time.
At this time, Prince Yong rushed in quickly, and then he heard crying, making noise and throwing things inside. Not long after, Prince Yong came out, with a proud expression in his eyes: "Changxing, get up."
Shui Jue almost couldn't help looking at Prince Yong with a foolish look.
"The king has already interceded in front of the father, you and the fourth child can get up." Prince Yong added, and then ordered the little eunuch in the palace to help Shui Jue.
Shui Jue stood up slowly, her body swayed for a while, as if her legs were numb from kneeling.Regardless of whether she was still in the palace or Prince Yong who was smiling gently and trying to say something to her, she turned around and walked quickly outside the palace.
Prince Yong wanted to say a few words of concern, but when he saw that Shui Jue didn't even bother to salute him, and turned to look at Shui Jing, he couldn't help feeling angry.He thought to himself, this Changxing is really as bad as his concubine mother said, uneducated.
Since Prince Yong wanted to be a favor, he naturally quickened his pace, and then asked Shui Jing, who was about to become a snowman, to also stand up.Even with a cloak to keep out the cold, Shui Jing felt that his whole body was about to lose consciousness.
"Your body is very cold, just let others help you." Seeing that Shui Jue's gloomy face was heavier than the chill on his body, Shui Jing quickly comforted him.
"I'll help you." Shui Jue and the little eunuch supported each other, "I'm taking my brother back home, so please wait."
"Go back, don't catch the wind and cold." Prince Yong, who had originally ordered the two people to get up, wanted to win favors, but was ignored by the two brothers and sisters, and felt very uncomfortable.But now that he is in the happiest time, he is easy to talk, and he doesn't have to drag Shui Jing, who is about to faint, to talk about it, and the person who insists on talking will fall to the ground and can't afford to call the imperial doctor.
.................................................. ............................
"All gone?" The emperor closed his eyes and meditated.
Zhao Yi said: "Prince Rui, Princess Changxing and Prince Yong are all gone."
"Zhao Yi, when the boss pleaded for mercy, he said that the crown prince tried to kill the king, which is an unforgivable crime, but there has never been a precedent for killing a member of the royal family in this dynasty. For the sake of my reputation, I beg you to let the prince go."
"As for Shui Jing and Jue'er's intercession, they just said that they don't believe in the prince killing the king at all."
"Tell me, where is the gap?" The emperor sneered.
Zhao Yi lowered his head.This question is definitely not for him to answer.
It's more like bad luck than injury.The most injured hero not only did not receive the praise he deserved, but was ridiculed by his colleagues for a long time, and his face was blue with anger.And the most sad thing for the guard with the broken arm was the cut horse.That steed was brought up by him himself, and to him, he is as kind as a brother.However, the steed's life is not in danger, but it's hard to say whether it can continue to partner with him.
Before the emperor left Beijing, he specially sent Imperial Physician Liu to stay in Prince Rui's mansion, expressing his importance to Prince Rui's concubine's birth.Naturally, Doctor Liu was also brought out.Shui Jue took Liu Yuyi's family to stay here for a while.
Although Doctor Liu specializes in gynecology and pediatrics, he still has the basic medical skills of treating trauma.Doctor Liu was guarding Chen Ning'an just now, fearing that Chen Ning'an would be shocked.Busy looking after the wounded now.When he looked at the guard with the severed hand, he couldn't help but make a few jokes.Fortunately, the fall was not heavy, and the broken part will grow back after a period of time, and it happens to be the left arm, otherwise life would be inconvenient.
Shui Jue stopped participating in these follow-up matters only after condolences to the wounded.She carefully wiped off Fang Tian's painted halberd that had finally seen blood, and sighed for a long time, thinking that her weapon had finally seen blood, and was no longer a decoration.Presumably the weapon has a spirit, and it will be happy.
Chen Ning'an sat in the back room waiting with her big belly. Although she didn't see the battle outside and didn't let her touch the blood, she was definitely worried.Especially Shui Jue personally led the guards to fight. Although she already knew Shui Jue's force value, she was still worried. It was not until Shui Jue changed into a bloody clothes and came to see her that she was safe and sound, and she was relieved.It's just this reassurance, but I feel tired, and I feel a dull pain when I'm alone.
The maid hurriedly brought over the anti-pregnancy medicine that had been warmed on the stove, and Chen Ning'an drank it and fell into a deep sleep.Physician Liu rushed to check the pulse, and said there was no major problem, but after that, he had to rest well.
After hearing this, Shui Jue breathed a sigh of relief.Women in this world are very fragile, she is really afraid that Chen Ning'an will do something wrong.
It was Lin Daiyu who impressed her.The child actually ran to the front yard to watch the boys dispose of the corpse, and he was not scared to cry yet.It can only be said that children's curiosity is really boundless.Shui Jue saw that she was full of energy and didn't seem to be able to sleep, so she simply sent her to lead the servant girl to take care of the wounded.She is still young, so she doesn't shy away from these things.Now that I see too many men, I won't be distracted by some crooked melons and cracked dates in the future, and ruin the reputation of the princess' companion.
Nanny has already turned a blind eye to Shui Jue's unique way of teaching.I make complaints every day, repeated complaints, and I don’t want to complain if I complain too much.Habit is a terrible thing, and Mammy feels no discomfort now.
Fortunately, I have no children, otherwise I would teach my daughter the way the princess taught Daiyu.Nanny Li thought to herself.
And Shui Jue went out to kill the man in black, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion was extremely calm.Shui Jue had personally killed Diao Nu when he was very young, but now he just killed some assassins, and he didn't use any fake rocks. The servants are so calm.
To be honest, when Shui Jue used Fang Tian to draw a halberd, the servants were a little surprised.I'm not surprised that this kind of weapon is used by a Hercules, but I feel that Princess Changxing's usual style of painting seems to be more suitable with a pair of sledgehammers.Just smash it like that, and everything becomes meatloaf.Unexpectedly, Princess Changxing's favorite weapon is quite gentle (?).
When those guards fought with Shui Jue, although they already knew that Shui Jue's weapon was Fang Tian's painted halberd, they still imagined that Shui Jue was holding a big stone, and with a "click", everyone became meatloaf look.
Of course, the fact that Prince Rui's Mansion had such a hard time with meatloaf was definitely not because it was getting late and he hadn't eaten yet, so he was hungry.
...............................................................................
Shui Jue was worried that someone would come to harm them, so she specially arranged for a vigil.But it seems that the crown prince has really neglected this place, and the first prince's people are not as many as imagined - it is also possible that the first prince did not take the lives of Shui Jue and Chen Ning'an seriously.For him, all he needed was the incident of "the crown prince sent people to assassinate Princess Changxing and Princess Rui".
When Shui Jue woke up, what she saw was her brother's pair of panda eyes.
"I've heard for a long time that my father said that my brother looks like an auspicious beast, so I gave the auspicious beast to my brother." Shui Jue took the maid's handkerchief and rubbed his eyes, "It really looks like it."
Shui Jing's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand to hold Shui Jue's arm tightly.
"Brother, it's not right for a man and a woman to get married. It's wrong to break into my sister's boudoir." Shui Jue yawned, "Go see sister-in-law, I'll sleep for a while."
"What nonsense, I'm your elder brother. I brought you up since I was a child. I haven't seen anything." When Shui Jing said this, the expressions of the mothers behind her changed.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Shui Jue sighed, brother's mental state is not right, it seems that he already knew what happened last night, "Look, I'm fine, and I'm not injured."
Only then did Shui Jing let go of Shui Jue's hand, opened his arms, and hugged Shui Jue tightly in his arms, his voice choked up: "But it scared me, I only have you as a relative."
Shui Jue's nose was a little sore after listening to Shui Jinghou's frightened words.Shui Jue buried her head in Shui Jingjin's nest, and said "hmm".
Who said the heavenly family has no family?With this elder brother, this life is really not in vain.
"Brother, tell me what's going on outside." Shui Jue asked curiously while lying in Shui Jing's arms.

Shui Jue sighed: "No matter what he thinks, it's meaningless."
"I will go and plead with my father." Shui Jing looked a little tired, "Maybe I will be fined to kneel."
"Then brother has to wear thicker clothes and wear thick pads on his knees." Shui Jue said displeased, "The weather has been cold again these days. Looking at the weather today, maybe it will snow."
"I know." Shui Jing poured down a mouthful of the temperature, "I'm going to see the princess."
"Go, my sister-in-law is also terrified." Shui Jue yawned again, "I'll sleep a little longer."
After speaking, Shui Jue threw away the cloak and retracted it into the quilt.
Shui Jing tucked the blanket for Shui Jue with a doting expression, whispered a few words to the servants, and then left.
.................................................. ............................
"Is Jue'er frightened? Is the baby in your concubine's belly okay?" When Shui Jing entered the imperial study, the emperor was looking down at the memorial without raising his head.
"My sister drank the tranquilizing medicine and fell asleep. The child is fine. The princess woke up for a while and fell asleep after drinking the medicine." Shui Jing looked at the emperor who seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, and his heart was also heavy. "Father The emperor also pay attention to rest, don't be too sad."
"These posts are all about abolishing the crown prince... No, not abolishing the crown prince, but killing the crown prince." The emperor closed the memorial and said calmly, "Should I kill the crown prince?"
Shui Jing clenched his fists and slowly knelt down: "I once persuaded the prince not to get angry with the eldest brother. The crown prince is the heir of a country, as long as he is safe and stable, no matter how many people support the eldest brother, it is useless. "
The emperor lowered his head and looked at Shui Jing with a gloomy expression: "You really dare to say it. Then the prince... what did you say?"
Shui Jing kowtowed three times before saying: "Prince said, Gu is different from you. Gu only has father, and Gu's father is not only father, but also father. After hearing that sentence, son The minister knows that it is useless to persuade the prince with any words."
The emperor's hands trembled: "But, his son is going to kill my father!"
"My minister also complained a lot about the prince," Shui Jing said with a blank expression, as if he didn't care that his frank words would offend the emperor. The emperor has the heart to kill."
The emperor looked at Shui Jing with piercing eyes, Shui Jing's back was straightened, but his head was lowered.
"I don't want to make my father sad." Shui Jing's voice was choked with sobs, "Although I can't find evidence to prove what I said now, all this is my subjective judgment. But this is what I think .”
"Go and kneel outside." The emperor lowered his head again and waved his hands.
"Thank you, father." Shui Jing kowtowed three times again, then walked out of the imperial study, and knelt down on the steps outside the palace gate.
The emperor sat there for a long while, but the book did not turn over.He suddenly asked: "Is the sky outside very gloomy?"
"Yes, it's snowing lightly." Zhao Yi, the chief eunuch who had been standing in front of the set board, replied.
The emperor continued to sit still.After a while, the emperor said: "Ask someone to get Shui Jing a hat and a cloak, and a smiling muff for him to wear, so he won't be frozen."
"Yes." Zhao Yi bowed and stepped back.
Sure enough, it was right not to offend Prince Rui all along.
.................................................. ............................
When Shui Jue entered the palace, she saw that a thin layer of snow had accumulated on Shui Jing's hat and cloak kneeling in front of the steps.
Seeing Shui Jue's arrival, Shui Jing quietly lifted the cloak a crack, revealing the small muff inside.
Shui Jue's eyes fell on the stone steps.Although Shui Jing was already sitting and getting ready when he went out, the bottom of the leggings tied from his calf to his knees was thick cowhide, and several layers of lambskin were sealed on top of the cowhide. When he went out, Shui Jing said that walking was difficult.But after all, it was snowing and the ground was a little wet and cold, so Shui Jue was still worried.
But she had to wear gloves for acting, so she glanced at Shui Jing worriedly, made a weeping expression, and asked someone to notify the emperor.
Women in the harem cannot enter the imperial study, but this does not include the emperor's flesh and blood.So Shui Jue can go in.
Shui Jue hadn't stood up after being baptized in the imperial study, when the emperor said, "Jue'er, are you here to intercede with Shui Jing or the prince."
Shui Jue sobbed: "My daughter is not here to intercede, but to tell Father the truth about what she has found."
"Oh? What's the truth?" the emperor asked.
Shui Jue knelt down and said, "When facing the assassin, my daughter personally led the guards out."
"It's not hurt, is it?!" The emperor hurriedly put down the memorial.
Shui Jue shook her head: "When my daughter went out, the assassin said that she was ordered by the prince's elder brother."
The emperor sighed.Shui Jue's words sounded like a complaint, but they were actually pleading for mercy.If you want to conceal your identity, why say that you are ordered by the prince?If it is said that it is ordered by the prince, why wear night clothes?Besides, Shui Jue and Princess Rui are both outsiders, and the crown prince and even Prince Xian are only under house arrest. Why should they be killed?
If it is said that the crown prince did it so clearly on purpose, it is impossible to blame other people.With the matter of the crown prince attacking the barracks, even if it was found out later that there was someone else's deception, in order to block the mouths of the world, the position of the crown prince must also be abolished.
Under his control, the current situation of the prince is just right, and there is no need to do such a deadly thing.
"You go outside too..." the emperor paused, "Kneel in the outer hall."
"Thank you, father." Shui Jue thought he could kneel with his brother.It's much warmer inside, though.
Shui Jue came out of the imperial study, and when he was about to kneel down in the outer hall of the palace, Zhao Yi personally brought a cushion over: "The emperor said, the princess is weak and frightened, just kneel on the cushion. The princess is tired You can sit on your knees, and when someone comes, the old servant will remind the princess."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao." Kneeling on the soft cushion, Shui Jue thought to himself that the emperor was indeed much more cruel to his son.
.................................................. ............................
It has been an hour since Shui Jue knelt, which made Shui Jue very worried about his elder brother who had been kneeling outside the door for a longer time.
At this time, Prince Yong rushed in quickly, and then he heard crying, making noise and throwing things inside. Not long after, Prince Yong came out, with a proud expression in his eyes: "Changxing, get up."
Shui Jue almost couldn't help looking at Prince Yong with a foolish look.
"The king has already interceded in front of the father, you and the fourth child can get up." Prince Yong added, and then ordered the little eunuch in the palace to help Shui Jue.
Shui Jue stood up slowly, her body swayed for a while, as if her legs were numb from kneeling.Regardless of whether she was still in the palace or Prince Yong who was smiling gently and trying to say something to her, she turned around and walked quickly outside the palace.
Prince Yong wanted to say a few words of concern, but when he saw that Shui Jue didn't even bother to salute him, and turned to look at Shui Jing, he couldn't help feeling angry.He thought to himself, this Changxing is really as bad as his concubine mother said, uneducated.
Since Prince Yong wanted to be a favor, he naturally quickened his pace, and then asked Shui Jing, who was about to become a snowman, to also stand up.Even with a cloak to keep out the cold, Shui Jing felt that his whole body was about to lose consciousness.
"Your body is very cold, just let others help you." Seeing that Shui Jue's gloomy face was heavier than the chill on his body, Shui Jing quickly comforted him.
"I'll help you." Shui Jue and the little eunuch supported each other, "I'm taking my brother back home, so please wait."
"Go back, don't catch the wind and cold." Prince Yong, who had originally ordered the two people to get up, wanted to win favors, but was ignored by the two brothers and sisters, and felt very uncomfortable.But now that he is in the happiest time, he is easy to talk, and he doesn't have to drag Shui Jing, who is about to faint, to talk about it, and the person who insists on talking will fall to the ground and can't afford to call the imperial doctor.
.................................................. ............................
"All gone?" The emperor closed his eyes and meditated.
Zhao Yi said: "Prince Rui, Princess Changxing and Prince Yong are all gone."
"Zhao Yi, when the boss pleaded for mercy, he said that the crown prince tried to kill the king, which is an unforgivable crime, but there has never been a precedent for killing a member of the royal family in this dynasty. For the sake of my reputation, I beg you to let the prince go."
"As for Shui Jing and Jue'er's intercession, they just said that they don't believe in the prince killing the king at all."
"Tell me, where is the gap?" The emperor sneered.
Zhao Yi lowered his head.This question is definitely not for him to answer.
