Not long ago, Chu Li would act coquettishly beg for toys from Chu Yan in Taolefang, and sit and play chess with his favorite princess and sister.

But now he was being protected by his mother, as if Wang An was some kind of scourge.

Chu Li had too many things to ask.

why am i hereDid my mother find someone to tie me and the princess sister?Why is Brother An Wang so angry?The princess sister has been having a fever, call the imperial doctor to come and see...

But after all, he is a sensible age, and he probably understands from his mother's sobbing and intermittent words that he will be separated from his mother forever, and flee for his life with these guards pretending to be bandits.

The capital is far away from Liangzhou, and two days is not enough time for them to enter Liangzhou. They have to work fast and non-stop along the way, and after two days, they have to avoid the pursuers of the states along the way, and fight a way out for him from the shadow of swords and swords.

Unexpectedly, Chu Li didn't cry, but hugged his mother tightly, thinking with some confusion: won't my mother come with me?

The time came soon, and the servants hurriedly brought over the salutes that they had to bring on the road. The man with the scarred face involuntarily picked up Chu Li, tied a long piece of cloth in front of him, took the things and got on the horse, saying goodbye Before it was too late, he rode the horse and rushed out.

Only then did Chu Li wake up from a big dream, and shouted "Mother" heart-piercingly.

The people sent by the county king escorted Xiao Shizi away, leaving only some ordinary guards and servants with low skills.

The servants knew what had happened, the backyard was in chaos, and everyone wanted to take some valuables and leave, but the imperial guards surrounded the yard, and no one could escape.

Only loyal servants stand firmly in front of the only master in the house.

Chu Yan no longer looked at the princess who was sitting slumped on the ground in pain, and followed the guide to the guest room.

He didn't bring any guards with him, so it was supposed to be quite dangerous, but the unseen speed of drawing the sword in the hall just now made the servants who had witnessed everything fight with each other, and dared not say a word to him.

Not long after, the clothes for him and the princess were delivered. Chu Yan looked at the dying person lying on the bed, and asked the person who came: "Is the imperial doctor here?"

The moment the princess appeared, someone immediately sent a message to the imperial doctor.

The person who came didn't answer, but approached a little closer.

Chu Yan turned around and saw who it was: "Why are you here?"

"I can't leave you here alone to guard Wantao." Liu Qi said sullenly, "I came back on horseback. Mother Tang and the salutes were all in the carriage behind, and Xinqing turned to pick up the imperial doctor. gone."

Chu Yan laughed: "It's only two days."

Liu Qi said in a low voice, "Two sticks of incense are not acceptable."

His eyes fell on the little figure on the bed, and his tone was a little sad: "After the poison is cured, there won't be any side effects, right?"

Chu Yan shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

The people under the king of the county did not work together. Some of the people who were sent were only intended to carry out the mission of taking away the prince, while the other part wanted to rescue the princess of the county together.

They probably didn't want to expose the rebellion so quickly. The matter was done so hastily. I'm afraid the county king was not ready yet. The reason why they sent the prince out of the city was just in case, so they used such a detour way.

After the son is taken out of the city, he can pretend to have lost track of the bandits. The life and death of the son is unknown, and the princess of the county will even be taken care of by the emperor, and then slowly find a way to rescue the princess of the county.

But after they knew the identity of the sixth princess, they thought that the plan might not go well.

If they can escape successfully, the sixth princess will be a big bargaining chip. They can use her life as a threat to keep the life of the princess, and they may even replace someone.

If you can't escape, then the Sixth Princess' life can give Shizi a chance to leave.

So they acted decisively and fed the sixth princess a poison that had been passed down from the Southern Jin Dynasty.

If we went to the Southern Jin Dynasty to search extensively now, it would not be difficult to find the antidote to this poison, but it would take enough time, and the princess couldn't hold it at all.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive. Wan Tao's persistent high fever was a side effect of the poison. Because the little girl was young and her bones were still weak, this side effect was particularly aggressive.

The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, and Xin Qing immediately went out to open the door of the medicine shop. After taking the medicine, Wan Tao still didn't feel better, but felt that her forehead was not as hot as before.

Nanny Tang took an ice towel and applied it on Wantao's forehead to cool down. She looked at Chu Yan who had red eyes beside her, and advised, "Your Highness has not slept all night, so go back and rest quickly. The old man just needs to wipe off the six princesses." Cool down."

Chu Yan then nodded: "If there is anything wrong, Mammy will wake me up."

"Hey."

The main room was left to the princess, while Chu Yan and Liu Qi took a nap in the side room.

Chu Yan washed his face casually outside the courtyard, and exhaled lightly. When he entered the door, the movement was very slight, and he opened the curtain inside to find that Liu Qi was not asleep at all.

Liu Qi raised his head slightly to look at the person who came, his voice softened due to sleepiness: "You are back."

Chu Yan was slightly taken aback, and when he realized that Liu Qi had already been pushed down by him, he pulled the cover on Liu Qi and asked with lowered eyes, "Didn't it be agreed that you should go to bed first?"

"Can't sleep."

Seeing that he was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, Chu Yan laughed and said, "Nonsense."

"I'm sleepy, but my mind is awake." Liu Qi pulled Chu Yan down, and pulled his hand over to hug him. He was always vigilant in a strange mansion, worried that the princess would turn his back on him. Not only did they not give the antidote, but they also wanted to take them to be buried with them.

It wasn't until feeling Chu Yan's body temperature at this moment that he felt more at ease, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"My father told me about you when he wanted to persuade me to get married obediently." Liu Qi said, "The thing about you being kidnapped when you were young, and the thing about you being held hostage by Prince Rui, I thought you were a real person at the time." Bad luck... Do you remember that time when you were a child?"

Of course Chu Yan remembered, to be precise, the memory of the original owner kept everything that happened at that time, even in those years when he was crazy and foolish, he often had nightmares.

But he didn't want Liu Qi to worry: "I only remember some, but I have forgotten many."

Liu Qi didn't ask any further questions, just said: "It's really strange, is your family's life not so good..."

Then he gave two quick "bah" and said softly: "I'm talking nonsense, you are the prince, and you are protected by the real dragon, so there is no bad life."

Liu Qi babbled a few more words casually before falling asleep, but the listener paid attention, and he felt sleepy for a while.

Chu Yan pinched Liu Qi's little nose helplessly, thinking that you woke me up and still want to sleep?He couldn't bear to really wake him up, so he quickly stopped his hand again, lying on the other side, secretly clenched Liu Qi's hand.

My mind is clear.

The third time, three kidnappings, three treason.

Even if it happened to Wan Tao this time, he was abducted when he lived in his palace.

Chu Yan didn't believe that his own fate was bad, maybe the original body was really bad, but it was a great luck for him to be able to use the dead body to revive his soul.Can it fall in the eyes of others?If Emperor Chengxing thought about this, would he feel that his fate was bad, and he was born to cause trouble?

In the evening, Wantao woke up for a while, and he was able to eat a bowl of porridge and finish his medicine.

Chu Yan wiped her mouth for her, stuffed candied fruit into it again, looked at her pale and haggard face, and asked mysteriously, "Wantao, do you blame elder brother?"

After asking the question, I couldn't help laughing at myself: Why ask the little girl to answer such a question just to find comfort for myself.

Wan Tao shook her head resolutely, and smiled slightly at him.

She tried to keep her eyes open and looked at him for a while, but in the end she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep again.

Chu Yan looked at her and secretly had an idea.

That night, the news that there was no antidote to the poison in the princess spread throughout the county palace.

Chu Yan broke into the main courtyard aggressively. At this time, there were not many guards who were still loyal to protect the lord. He was easily knocked down by Chu Yan, and the princess of the county was helped out. Queen's neck.

He didn't speak, his eyes were as fierce as ghosts seeking for his life. After all, the princess of the county was a docile woman who grew up in the middle of the capital, and I only felt that eyes were more terrifying than that hand.

Chu Yan let her go, and said directly to Xin Qing, who was following behind him, "Head down an order to hunt down Chu Li immediately, and all the states along the way will cooperate to send troops. If they cannot be captured alive, they will be shot on the spot."

"No—" Princess Jun let out a loud roar, not caring about the pain in her throat.

She directly coughed up blood, staining her mouth in a mess: "Cough, you, what do you want, cough, I'll give you the antidote..."

Chu Yan seemed unmoved: "There is no antidote, is there? What are you going to use to fool me? To delay time for your son?"

"No, I really have the antidote, I can give it to you, I will give it to you now. You have to keep the promise, Your Majesty agrees, as long as I give the antidote, you can't chase him, Your Majesty's golden words are hard to chase, You can't make decisions on your own!"

She was really panicked, seeing Chu Yan's reluctance to trust her, and remembering that Xinqing had just run out to deliver the letter, she was almost about to collapse, so she quickly asked her confidant maid to help her up, and went to get the antidote herself.

Chu Yan immediately sent someone to find the imperial doctor who had been waiting in the carriage outside, and after confirming that it was really the antidote, she fed it to Wan Tao.

He withdrew the previous order and guarded Wantao. In the early morning, the little girl woke up again, and the fever had subsided.

After the agreed two days were over, Chu Yan quickly took the sixth princess back to the palace, and was summoned by the emperor before he could give any instructions.

He had no choice but to go to see the emperor immediately. There were also the imperial doctor and Commander Zhou who had also come back to the room. When Chu Yan arrived, these two men were already about to retreat.

Emperor Chengxing's face was dark and unclear: "This time, you will make up for your mistakes."

Chu Yan kowtowed without saying a word as thanks.

"A subject actually told me that Mrs. Lu should be saved, what do you think?"

Chu Yan said solemnly: "Father should decide."

Emperor Chengxing asked again: "What about Lu Xueshi's mansion? But you really don't know?"

Chu Yan originally wanted to answer "I don't know", but when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner again: "Scholar Lu is famous for his loyalty and integrity, a pure minister of the Lu family through all generations."

"I remember that Lu Qing is Liu Lin's teacher."

Chu Yan was silent for a while, and he could tell that Emperor Chengxing was very unhappy and made a special trip to trouble him.

Emperor Chengxing was obviously dissatisfied with his silence, and said in a more serious tone: "Why don't you speak? Could it be that you are partial to your concubine's elder brother's teacher, that's why you think the Lu family is upright and innocent."

Chu Yan sighed secretly in his heart: It is a blessing not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.He no longer acted tremblingly: "Father has already said that he is the elder brother's teacher of the concubine's concubine, and the relationship is beating around the bush. How can there be such a close relationship between the son and the father? Instead of helping outsiders, the son wants to provoke the father." The reason why the emperor is unhappy."

When Emperor Chengxing heard this, he really felt much better, and when he heard that Chu Yan said it with confidence, he didn't know whether he should be comforted by his sincerity, or angry that he didn't know how to be sincere and frightened at this time.

But once the suffocated breath was released, he didn't want to make trouble so much.

Emperor Chengxing thought for a long time, and said, "Tell me why you didn't kill Mrs. Lu."

Chu Yan slandered: I never said I would not kill her.

But since Father Jun asked, he had to answer carefully: "I really wish that Mrs. Lu's death would be worth the suffering of the sixth younger sister, but I can roughly guess what the ministers who protect Lu's family think. of."

"First of all, the Lu family is a bargaining chip for negotiating conditions with Liangzhou. My ministers tend to have soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, but they are not ready to rebel. Otherwise, they would not plan to kidnap the prince in order to take away the son. If the Lu family dies, I am afraid that Liangzhou will be angered." state, they will raise their troops immediately."

Emperor Chengxing interjected: "Could it be that my Northern Qi soldiers and horses can't beat him in Xiaoliang Prefecture?"

Chu Yan said: "At this time of war, our court will punish the traitors, but there are too many doubts behind it. My ministers have heard about the King of Pingcheng County, and they all say that he has a deep friendship with you and is loyal. How could you suddenly make a fuss?" What happened? What's more, last year the matter of Prince Rui just subsided, wouldn't Prince Pingcheng take it as a warning?"

"In addition, Erchen just wanted to report this matter to Father. When I confronted Mrs. Lu that day, she once said, 'Your Majesty has made up his mind to apologize to our family', but after much deliberation, Erchen couldn't think of such Something happened."

Emperor Chengxing couldn't help leaning forward, the fury between his brows gradually turned serious: "She really said that?"

"There will be no falsehood." Chu Yan said, "This is the second reason for not killing her. My son believes that there are still many secrets hidden in Lu's mouth!"

Yes, while the kidnapping was over, it was also a beginning.
