The emperor regretted his life, and wanted to return to the palace as soon as he knew there was an assassin in the hunting ground.However, King Qin's injuries were serious, and he was not easy to move. In addition, he didn't want to impress his courtiers as timid and afraid of death, so he waited an extra day.

Early the next morning, the emperor asked Zhang Zhao, "How is it?"

Zhang Zhao didn't need to think about what the emperor asked, and he replied cautiously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial army has searched the entire hunting ground, but, except for the few assassin corpses found yesterday, nothing was found."

The emperor's face turned dark when he heard it. The imperial army couldn't find anyone. Didn't it mean that those assassins went into and out of the hunting ground as if they were in no one's land?One must know that the forbidden army sealed off the hunting grounds and patrolled and searched the hunting grounds. It is hard to say that there is something wrong with the forbidden army, so how can the emperor rest assured that he will hand over his own safety to the forbidden army?So without much thought, the emperor ordered: "Return to the palace immediately!"

Zhang Zhao took the order, and saw that the emperor was about to leave without other orders, but the emperor regretted it: "Wait, go to Xuan Dali Temple Minister to come first, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated!" After speaking, he seemed to calm down, and then Ask: "How is the son of Marquis Wu'an?"

Yesterday when Ji Chang returned with the King of Han, it was already late, and the emperor's thoughts were all on the assassin and the King of Qin, so he didn't pay much attention.I only vaguely heard the report that the king of Han had found the man and that Ji Chang was injured.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao quickly responded, and then reported back: "Your Majesty, the son was assassinated yesterday and injured his arm. The injury is not serious and there is nothing serious. However, the weather was suddenly cold and snowy yesterday, and the son stayed in the hunting ground all day. When he came back at night, he was infected. The wind and cold lead to high fever..."

After hearing this, the emperor's face was cloudy, but he didn't say much, he waved his hand and let Zhang Zhao go down to prepare for returning to the palace.

Zhang Zhao took the order to go, and when he turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly condensed - based on his understanding of the emperor, the assassination this time probably did not come from the hands of the emperor, including those assassins who assassinated Ji Chang.Then things became interesting. The two princes who were assassinated and one eldest son were either strong contenders for the reserve position, or they were involved in a lot of sensitive identities, so who would attack the three at the same time?

Various thoughts swirled in Zhang Zhao's mind, and they were all suppressed the moment he walked out of the imperial tent.He turned around and ordered the little servant at the side to go to Xuan Dali Temple Minister, while making preparations for returning to the palace.

After all, he is just a housekeeper, so why worry about other things?

****************************************************************************

It is said that Ji Chang, who was seriously ill, was wearing a thick jacket and a cloak, almost wrapped into a ball.There was a brazier burning in front of her, and the heat rushed towards her face, making her feel lazy and lacking energy.

Han Wang, who came to visit her, sat across from her, took a few chestnuts and roasted them by the brazier, and occasionally raised his eyes to see her face: "Tell me about you. After returning to Beijing, you will be really sick and sometimes fake. I can’t tell if it’s true or not.”

Wrapped in a big cloak, Ji Chang didn't say anything, his eyes scanned the row of chestnuts roasted by Han Wang, and he guessed that they were almost ready to eat, so he reached out and took one unceremoniously.The freshly roasted chestnuts are scalding hot in the hand. Ordinary people would throw them away as soon as they picked them up. Pian Ji Chang’s hands are not afraid of being scalded. After turning them around twice in the hands, it’s just a good way to warm them up.

After waiting for the steaming roasted chestnuts to enter, Ji Chang casually replied, "What does it matter if it's true or not?"

It really doesn't matter.To say that Ji Chang usually pretends to be sick is to impress the impression of his frail body into the hearts of the people, so as to lower the emperor's vigilance.But this time is different, King Qin was stabbed seriously, and the root cause of the disease is that he missed the position.Most of the emperor's thoughts must have been attracted by the assassin, and the rest was put on King Qin, so how could he care about her, the little son of the Marquis Mansion?

The king of Han thought about it for a while, and then he was quite worried: "So you are really sick?"

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to try Ji Chang's forehead, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ji Chang blocked it: "It's burning, what can you try?"

Seeing that she was still in good spirits, the King of Han was relieved to withdraw his hand, and went to the brazier to get a chestnut.It's just that he doesn't have Ji Chang's ability to not be afraid of being scalded. He was so scalded that he almost threw the chestnut out, and the appearance of pinching his earlobe to relieve the burn was quite funny.

Seeing this, Ji Chang couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, but Hanwang looked helpless: "I even forgot that you are not afraid of being scalded, and I still follow you."

After muttering a few words, I still ate roasted chestnuts.Then the King of Han put aside the moment of relaxation, straightened his expression, and talked about the business: "Do you have an idea about the assassination yesterday?"

Hearing this, Ji Chang paused for a moment with the hand holding the chestnut, and finally squeezed another one into his palm, rubbing it slowly: "Not yet. I was assassinated suddenly yesterday, and I didn't have time to find out the clues when I came back. I fell ill after returning. How can there be time to verify anything?" He paused for a while, but then said: "However, I have some guesses about this assassination."

There is no basis for guessing, but the King of Han still said seriously after hearing this: "I would like to hear the details."

Ji Chang rubbed the round chestnuts in his palms, and said slowly: "I don't think this assassination is done by His Majesty. He wants to face himself, and he is worried about the Hou Mansion and the Northern Army, so he doesn't want to attack me blatantly." Let’s attack. Of course, even if His Majesty wants to attack me, there is no reason to send people to assassinate King Qin and King Chu, so as to break the balance between the court and China.”

The king of Han nodded when he heard this, and felt quite reasonable, although when Ji Chang was assassinated, the first thing he thought of was the emperor - after all, the Marquis of Wu'an has guarded the northern border for many years, and he kept a low profile in Beijing, so there is really no chance of enmity , Ji Chang will not be targeted for no reason.

Ji Chang then continued on his own: "Autumn hunting is not a trivial matter, and the forbidden army is also deployed inside and outside the hunting grounds. The accidents today are inseparable from the forbidden army. In this way, ordinary people have no ability to let this Many assassins sneaked into the hunting grounds, and in the end they were able to escape unscathed... If I had to say, the assassination in the hunting grounds this time is probably inseparable from those two."

The king of Han immediately knew that Ji Chang was referring to the kings of Qin and Chu.The two are now the outstanding ones in the battle for the heir apparent. It is unknown how many people in the court have voted for them, and it is hard to say whether anyone in the imperial army has surrendered to them.If this is the case, it would be easier to let a few assassins in and out of the hunting grounds with the imperial army cooperating inside and outside.

So the King of Han thought for a while, and then he couldn't help frowning and wondering: "Ah Chang, could it be that brother Chu Wang did it? Brother Qin Wang is seriously injured now. I also asked the imperial physician in private, and they all said that he probably wanted to The root of the lung disease is left behind. In this way, his advantage in seizing the heirloom will be ten to seven, and Brother Chu Wang should benefit greatly. He sent someone to assassinate you, so what is it for?"

Ji Chang heard that his eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't let the King of Han see the difference: "Maybe. As for me being assassinated, maybe it was aimed at you, Your Highness? Don't forget, on the way to the hunting ground, King Qin You don’t even want to take the limelight from riding a horse with the King of Chu.”

Of course, there are more than the King of Qin today, but these are the few who really stand out.Even though the king of Han was usually very low-key and had few followers, he was actually pretty good compared to the other princes—although he was not favored, he was named king with his military exploits, so he still had a place in the court.The rest of the princes were even more unknown, and were even completely ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

When it comes to seizing the heir, King Qin and King Chu are tit-for-tat enemies.However, since Ji Chang entered the capital, and the king of Han had the desire to seize the throne, he has also secretly recruited some people one after another in the past few months.I don't know if those two people were aware of it, or they were simply afraid of the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Wu'an, so they targeted the King of Han more on the road of autumn hunting.

After hearing this, the King of Han felt a little vigilant in his heart, hesitating for a while between taking the opportunity to stand out and continuing to lie dormant.

Seeing his expression, Ji Chang could also guess what he was thinking, but she didn't say anything to persuade him right away, she just squeezed the warm chestnuts in her palm between her fingers.Then she exerted a little force with her fingers, and heard a "click", but she squeezed the dark chestnut shell open, and the yellow flesh inside was faintly visible, and the faint fragrance of chestnuts also wafted out.

The king of Han thought for a long time, but finally decided to wait and see what happened.Firstly, the king of Qin was seriously injured but he was not completely abolished. It is hard to say what the situation will be like after returning to Beijing.Secondly, he decided to fight for savings only in the past few months. At present, the power he has accumulated is still too little, and he has no capital to fight with others.

With a decision in his heart, the King of Han also relaxed, but he glanced and found that the row of chestnuts he roasted had lost more than half.Then he looked up, and saw Ji Chang's cheeks slightly puffed up, eating a chestnut while peeling a chestnut in his hand.

It was rare to see Ji Chang like this, the King of Han was about to say something while laughing, when he heard an announcement from outside the tent.

Qiao Yue came to visit the injured and sick Ji Chang, with a food box in his hand.When she entered the camp and saw the King of Han here, she was startled and saluted in a proper manner, saying: "I have seen His Highness the King of Han."

The King of Han excused himself, his eyes fell on the food box Qiao Yue was carrying, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he found the two yesterday.Thinking about it now, he still couldn't help being funny, so he joked casually: "Why did Miss Qiao bring a food box, didn't she really bring food to Ah Chang?"

Qiao Yue is generous, she doesn't mind Hanwang's teasing, she nodded along with his words and said: "Your Majesty is not in good health, I heard that she was ill again last night, so I came to visit her, and I also gave her some medicinal food and supplements repair."

King Han nodded without thinking too much, his eyes swept over the young couple.

However, Ji Chang was tortured by the cooks of the Hou's Mansion for a few days. Not only is there no medicinal food in the Hou's Mansion now, she even feels a little physically nauseated when she hears the word "medicinal food".Looking at the big food box that Qiao Yue was carrying now, she felt even more sympathetic - if she had known that Qiao Yue was so serious, she would not have said yesterday that her medicinal food was not good, but it was too late to regret it.

After Qiao Yue put the food box on the small table next to Ji Chang, she turned her head and saw a peeled chestnut in Ji Chang's open palm. She blinked and asked her, "The freshly roasted chestnuts, how about you?" Do you want to eat?"

The author has something to say: Shizi (serious): After eating my chestnuts, you can’t force me to eat medicinal food

Qiao Yue (...): I'm afraid I saw a fake prince today? !
