Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

The emperor's gaze swept across his two sons, and there was some deep meaning in his eyes.

Don't fall early, don't fall late, and it fell when the two of them walked over, making people really have to suspect that this matter has something to do with the two of them.

As for whether Zhao Can is going to deal with Zhao Qi or Zhao Qi is going to deal with Zhao Can, that's hard to say.

However, the emperor's gaze sank, he remembered that Zhao Qi called Zhao Can to come together just now.But Zhao Can walked in front, and the lamp fell and hit him directly, only a little distance away.If Zhao Can hadn't stepped forward with the sound of peace, the situation would have been completely different.

But... the emperor's eyes swept over Zhao Can, and he was too calm in the face of such a sudden accident.

Zhao Can and Zhao Qi said a few auspicious words and raised their glasses to toast the emperor.

At this moment, Zhang Dongyuan came back, followed by several young eunuchs.After entering the door, they found the mechanism along the wall, and carefully lowered the lights that had been hung high one by one.Put it down at about human height, and fix it again.Looking at it this way, it's not very interesting.And the hidden dangers of safety have also been lifted.

The ministers who had felt rather uneasy because the palace lanterns fell were relieved.After all, no one can guarantee that one's luck will be that good. If one gets hit by a lamp, wouldn't it be unlucky?

Zhang Dongyuan walked up to the emperor and leaned over to report something in a low voice.Zhao Can and Zhao Qi were interrupted, so they had no choice but to continue standing in front of the emperor.

After Zhang Dongyuan finished his report, he walked around behind the emperor and carefully lowered the lamp above their heads.After all, he is the emperor, so no one else is suitable for this job except Zhang Dongyuan, who is close to him.

Seeing the lamp falling slowly, Zhang Dongyuan turned around to fix it, but Ping An suddenly felt a cold light flash from the corner of his eyes.

In fact, the lights in the main hall have just been put down, and there are shaking shadows of lights everywhere at this moment, which is actually not very clear.But because Ping An was facing sideways, he could feel the light flashing away instead.

He reacted very quickly. Although he didn't see what it was, he subconsciously said loudly, "Be careful!"

While shouting, he rushed towards the emperor.

Originally, the strength used by Ping An was moderate, and it should be able to grab the armrest next to the seat as a buffer, so as to protect the emperor without actually bumping into him.Unexpectedly, just as he rushed over, someone ran into him behind him.

Being hit like this, Ping An was directly thrown into the arms of the emperor.

This effort was not small, and the emperor let out a muffled snort, obviously not having a good time.

But he couldn't take care of it right now, because Ping An had already heard a crash behind him, as if something had broken, and then the person pressing on him tensed up, making a muffled sound, as if...injured.

"Protect Your Majesty!" "There are assassins!" Ping An heard someone shouting loudly.

There was an instant chaos in the hall, and the sound of panic was endless.Until the emperor regained his breath, he reprimanded, "Calm down!"

Although everyone was still flustered, they were sure that the emperor was not in danger, so they made up their minds and did not dare to leave indiscriminately.At this time, the imperial guards guarding the periphery arrived late and surrounded all the people in the hall.Although the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands looked horribly cold under the light, they also brought a sense of security.

But these peaces are not known for the time being.After a while, feeling that the people behind him had been moved away, Ping An got up carefully and did not touch the emperor again.

After some distance, Ping An pleaded guilty, "I have overstepped, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay." The emperor waved his hand and asked worriedly, "How is Xiaoqi?"

Ping An was taken aback, turned his head and saw Zhao Can was supported by two people standing not far behind him, his face was pale and he was not well.And right at his feet, there were a lot of broken glass scattered around.

The lamp hanging in front of the emperor is the largest and most beautiful in the whole water pavilion. very bad.

Obviously, after they rushed over just now, the lamp that had just been put down was shattered, and the shattered glass flew towards the emperor, but Zhao Can survived it.

Ping An's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly blamed himself. He should have been more cautious just now, otherwise he wouldn't have hurt Zhao Can.

Who else could jump forward to protect him at this time, except Zhao Can?

But fortunately, Ping An rushed to the emperor, so in the eyes of others, he and Zhao Can rushed to protect the emperor.Otherwise, if he stood still, Zhao Can would not know how to explain it when he rushed over.

Just when Pingan wanted to understand all this, Zhao Can was supported by two soldiers of the Imperial Army.They have already observed his injuries, "Your Majesty, they are all glass shards. The wounds should not be deep, but it is troublesome to deal with. In addition, His Highness Wang Chen was shot by an arrow on his back. There is poison on the arrow, which may be a bit tricky. "

"Quickly announce the imperial physician!" The emperor ordered in a deep voice.After a pause, he said again, "Why are there arrows here?"

"It's a crossbow." The leader of the forbidden army walked over quickly, inspected the wound and said, "But it is not a crossbow commonly used in the army, it should be privately made by the people. I have already sent someone to investigate. I understand that the assassin shouldn't be able to escape far! "

Assassination in a heavily guarded place like the imperial palace, even if someone cooperates, they can only go away with one blow.Now that the imperial army is prepared, it is even more impossible to give the assassin another chance.Therefore, the leader of the forbidden army did not rush to the emperor immediately, but rushed over after arranging the investigation.

At this moment, everyone ran to the emperor's side, no matter whether it was the ministers or the prince, they were all crowded together, so there would be no more danger.Ping An hesitated a little, then walked to Zhao Can's side and looked at him worriedly.

Since there was no place to lie down here, Zhao Can could only lie on a chair.Seeing Ping An approaching, he raised his eyes and glanced at him with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he closed his eyes again, obviously his physical condition was very bad.

How could he be hit by an arrow, and there is poison on the arrow?Ping An was very puzzled and shocked.Obviously Zhao Can got the news from Zhao Kun, they were just planning to create some accidents, and they didn't really plan to do anything openly.And...whether this matter is aimed at Zhao Can or the emperor is still open to debate.

Everything was completely different from what was expected, and Ping An immediately came to the conclusion that they might have been fooled.Either Zhao Kun didn't tell the truth at all, or it was the so-called alliance. In fact, the princes still had their own ideas and united together on the surface, but they still prepared their own countermeasures in private.

But who would be so reckless to attack the emperor?What does he want to do?

There were too many questions, and Ping An couldn't think of an answer, so he had to try to calm himself down, stepped forward, and said to the two imperial guards, "Both brothers, since the arrow is poisonous, I'm afraid I can't wait for the imperial doctor. Otherwise, if the poison is strong , By then it will be too late. The arrow should be pulled out first, and the poisonous blood can be squeezed out."

Although it is inevitable that there will still be some toxins left in the body, but when the imperial doctor comes and uses the medicine, it can be eliminated slowly.

The two guards were also stopped by the emperor just now, and they didn't react for a while.Now being reminded by Ping An, he came back to his senses and carefully cut off Zhao Can's clothes where the arrow was shot with a knife, exposing the wound, then carefully pulled out the crossbow arrow and squeezed the wound to make the poisonous blood flow out.

In just a short while, the blood had already turned a blackish red color, and the wound was also swollen. Zhao Can himself was in a cold sweat and almost lost consciousness. Obviously, the toxicity was not light.

Pingan looked anxiously, and reminded in a low voice, "Suck out the poisonous blood with your mouth, right?"

The two guards raised their heads and glanced at him. Before they could speak, Ping An took the initiative to step forward and said, "I'll do it." Then he knelt down beside Zhao Can, leaned over and sucked out the poisonous blood one by one, and then used his side to Gargle with tea.

It stands to reason that these things can be done by others, and Ping An should not be too eager.But Zhao Can was injured, and lying here didn't know what was going on, so how could he not be in a hurry?Thinking that before Zhao Can swore to himself that it would be safer to lure snakes out of the hole than to be beaten passively, and he really believed it, Ping An couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being too stupid.

Fortunately, fortunately, he can still stay by Zhao Can's side and do something for him.

If he was not in the palace today as Zhao Can thought before, wouldn't Zhao Can want to deal with these malicious injuries alone?

By the time the imperial physician arrived, the blood from Zhao Can's body had already turned red.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he determined that although the toxicity was severe, it was not a rare poison, so he immediately took out a pill and asked Zhao Can to take it.If this kind of detoxification thing is discovered, it will take too long to prescribe a prescription to boil the medicine, so the Tai Hospital also has pills, which can be used at critical moments.

Hearing that Ping'an used his mouth to take drugs, the imperial physician gave him one too.

After the poisonous blood was sucked out, Zhao Can slowly regained consciousness. After taking the medicine, he woke up. Although his body was still a little weak, his consciousness was clear and he could already speak, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that he still has other injuries on his back that need to be dealt with, so he can't move for the time being.

Taking out the glass shards is a skill-testing job, so naturally it can't be done in this messy place. The emperor waved his hand and asked Zhang Dongyuan to send the person to the cubicle behind the water pavilion, so that the imperial doctor could do it there temporarily.

Ping An originally wanted to follow, but thinking that Zhao Can was out of danger, he couldn't make it too obvious, so he suppressed his eagerness and stayed here.

As for the palace banquet, such things happened one after another, so naturally they couldn't go on.Even if you continue reluctantly, I am afraid that people will not agree.

But it is not appropriate to let everyone go like this.After all, who knows if the assassin was among these people, or brought in by them?Suspects must always be ruled out before they can leave.

However, to our disappointment, although the imperial army found traces of the assassin, what they brought back was a corpse.Obviously, the other party didn't even think about escaping, let alone leaving any clues for them.

If you can't pry your mouth open, you can only start to investigate from this person's identity and origin.There is a vast amount of information on this, and besides, this kind of assassin must have a wrong origin, and it is not known whether there is him in the information. If you search like this, you don't know when you will be able to find it.

The emperor was assassinated, but as the forbidden army, they could not protect the emperor well and could not find anything. The commander of the forbidden army couldn't help feeling a little worried, and knelt down in front of the emperor to plead guilty.

Speaking of which, everyone thought that the arrow was aimed at the emperor, but no one thought it was aimed at Zhao Can.

In fact, Ping An himself thought the same way.After all, Zhao Qi, who was standing with Zhao Can at that time, backed away in time without any injuries.Zhao Can rushed over to protect the emperor, and then got injured.If it was aimed at him, could the other party be sure that he would come to protect the emperor?

Or... kill two birds with one stone?Whether Zhao Can's death or the emperor's death is good for them?

If so, this strategy is too vicious.

In peace of mind, the emperor had forgiven the negligence of the commander of the imperial army and asked him to continue investigating the matter.In addition, the guard in the palace must be strengthened, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.

With this reminder, the Forbidden Army did not dare to be careless, and quickly agreed.

Then the emperor ordered the ministers to separate.

After all, it was already very late at this moment, and this incident happened again tonight, everyone urgently needed to go home to suppress the shock.

However, at this moment, the water pavilion, which has been built for many years and has been renovated every year, has never had any problems, suddenly began to shake.It was just a slight wobble at first, but it quickly intensified to the point where it couldn't be ignored.

The palace lanterns of various colors hung in the water pavilion for the sake of looking good all swayed from side to side with the vibration, some hit people, and some collided with each other. Many palace lanterns are made of paper, wood and polished extremely thin At this moment, part of the glass piece was broken, and the other part started to burn because the candle inside fell over.

This chaos caused everyone in the water pavilion to panic, and hurried to avoid it, not knowing what was going on with this sudden disaster.

"The earth dragon has turned over!" Someone exclaimed loudly.

This sound reminded everyone, everyone was startled, and they rushed out of the way.

Everyone knows that the more you run around like this, the more troubles will happen.So after a while, the waterside pavilion became completely chaotic.

Originally, everyone stood beside the emperor, wanting to take the opportunity to perform.As a result, now that something happened, this place has become the most chaotic place.

Ping An's heart skipped a beat again, always feeling that this accident came very inexplicably.He thought of his previous guess again, what if the other party intended to deal with the emperor in the first place?There was a lot of chaos at this time, and no one could tell what was wrong!

He hurriedly leaned over to support the emperor, "Protect Your Majesty, send him away first!"

Responding as quickly as him was the commander of the imperial army. He protected the emperor, and then loudly ordered the imperial army to maintain order.

Fortunately, because of an accident just now, the imperial guards surrounded the entire water pavilion. It is not easy to maintain order at the moment, but it is not difficult to open a way for them.Besides, the emperor walked through a special passage when he came, so it would be more convenient to leave from here now.

As for the others, I can't take care of them for now.

The trembling in the water pavilion became faster and faster, the Imperial Army opened the way ahead, Commander He Pingan helped the emperor walk out through the messy hall.

After leaving the range of the water pavilion, Ping An breathed a sigh of relief.

Only half of this breath was relieved, his face suddenly turned pale, "Your Highness...His Royal Highness King Chen is still inside!"

Zhao Can was injured, and it was impossible for him to walk.In the small cubicle, there were only him, two elderly doctors, and a little Fuzi who was doing odd jobs.It is almost impossible to rely on these three weak people to lead Zhao Can out of the waterside pavilion!

Ping'an felt anxious, how many tricks did the other party arrange, and why did the same thing follow the same thing endlessly?

The emperor was reminded by Ping An, and also remembered this incident.Zhao Can was injured in order to save him, and he was his own son, so the emperor would naturally not ignore it, and immediately ordered the commander of the imperial army to take people back to look for Zhao Can.

Ping An originally planned to follow, but considering his small stature, going there would probably be a hindrance to the Imperial Army.In addition, Zhang Dongyuan didn't know where he went, and the emperor couldn't do without people here, so he had to restrain himself and stay here.

However, Ping An watched helplessly as the commander of the imperial army led people to the side of the waterside pavilion, and was about to go in to find someone. The whole waterside pavilion seemed to be unbearable. Amidst a loud bang, it suddenly collapsed and hit Yuhu Lake. Among them, a large splash of water was stirred up.

When the layers of water waves finally calmed down, the entire water pavilion was in ruins.

The feeling of seeing that scene with his own eyes is still fresh in Ping An's memory after a long time, and he is terrified.

At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind. In his previous life, Zhao Can did have a so-called calamity of life and death, and was ruined by a cup of poisoned wine, but it was not this time!

Ping An couldn't believe that something would happen to Zhao Can, and it was right in front of him, so close, but he couldn't do anything about it.Everything around him became a slow motion, and in his eyes there was only images of houses collapsing bit by bit, and splashes agitating, and he was a little dazed, completely unable to regain his senses.

There were still ministers walking behind in the waterside pavilion who did not come out. Many people broke out at the last moment and ran desperately out of the waterside pavilion, falling into the water one after another.Seeing that he could not go in to save people, the commander of the forbidden army had no choice but to turn around and order the forbidden army to try to salvage the people in the water.

After all, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the dripping water almost turned into ice. Although it is said that there is running water in the ground in the imperial lake, so it is not frozen, but the temperature of the lake is actually very low, and it is easy to catch wind and cold.

Ping An didn't know exactly how long it had passed, but he kept that dazed posture all the time, until a shocking "His Royal Highness Chen Wang was found!" woke him up from this state.

Did you find it?

There was light in his eyes again, and he eagerly looked into the lake. Sure enough, many people surrounded by a figure swam towards the lake.

At that moment, Ping An's eyes were a little wet, everything in front of him was blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly through the thin water mist, but he didn't dare to raise his head to wipe it, so he could only try to widen his eyes.

After a while, the moist feeling subsided, and Ping An turned his head, only to find that Zhang Dongyuan and other people around the emperor had come looking for him at some point.Even the princes all gathered together, not one was missing, and there was no injury.

Ping An bit his lip hard, and quickly took a step back to cover up his gaffe.

He was almost dazed just now, so he stood by the emperor's side all the time, and he didn't know if others reminded him.Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention is on the lake at this moment, step back quickly, and hope that this night is really too chaotic and no one cares.

Soon Zhao Can was sent to the shore. Someone had already prepared everything. After landing, he was immediately wrapped in a thick blanket and sent to the palace not far away.

After all, it was so cold once, if you are not careful, you may get the root of the disease.The emperor had already spoken, graciously allowing the ministers who fell into the water to spend the night here, and they can go home again tomorrow.

Pingan watched Zhao Can being sent away anxiously, and immediately turned to look at the emperor, hoping that he would send him to visit Zhao Can.

Fortunately, the emperor still cared about Zhao Can's son. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I'm going to check on Lao Qi. Everyone else is fine, let's go."

"We should also go and see the seventh brother." Zhao Rong said.

Others agreed one after another, and the emperor did not object, so the group walked over there.

Zhao Can didn't mix with other people, but was alone in a room.When Ping An followed the emperor into the house, a little eunuch who looked unfamiliar helped him change his wet clothes, wiped them with hot water, and wrapped them in a thick quilt—the little Fuzi beside him also fell Water, there is no way to come and serve.

He looked very pale and lay on the bed with his eyes closed, apparently unconscious.Thinking of how much he had suffered tonight, Pingan felt a heart-wrenching pain.

The imperial physician was taking Zhao Can's pulse, so everyone didn't speak, but stood aside and waited for a while.The imperial physician withdrew his hand, and the emperor asked, "How is Xiaoqi?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the situation is probably not optimistic." The imperial physician frowned, "Your Highness was originally wounded, but the wound opened again after falling into the water, and a lot of blood was lost. In addition, the cold soaked in from the wound, and the soaking time in the water was longer than others. The longer it takes, the more dangerous the situation will be.”

"Is there any way?" Hearing this, the emperor asked with a serious expression on his face.

The imperial doctor said, "For the present plan, we have to prescribe the prescription first and take it to dissipate the chill. It's just that His Highness is like this, and I'm afraid he's going to have a fever at night. At that time, we just have to see if we can get over it. If you can To reduce the fever, the body only needs to be nourished for a period of time. If..."

He didn't continue talking, but the meaning was self-explanatory. If the burning continues like this, there will only be one result in the end, which is to burn people out.

Ping An has heard before that if a fever exceeds [-] degrees, it only takes half an hour to burn out the brain, not to mention other hidden dangers.Even in modern times, many people burn out due to fever.What's more, the medical conditions in ancient times were like this?

He absolutely cannot accept this result.

His Zhao Can was smart, proud, and confident. In front of him, he was clingy, arrogant, and beautiful. How could such a good person end up like this?

He still has so many things to do, so many ambitions to realize, and they still have a long future...

He can definitely survive!

Because Zhao Can was in a coma, everyone didn't stay here for long, and left after asking about his condition.After all, a lot of things happened today, and they need some time to sort it out and think about how to deal with it.

When the emperor left, he left Ping An.Ask him to take care of Zhao Can here on his behalf, and send someone over to report any good news immediately.

Ping An originally thought about how to sneak over after everyone fell asleep, but he was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed.
