Half a month passed, and no killer appeared. Liu Ming guessed that those people had given up, or felt that the task was completed and would not come again.

He found Anxi and asked if he wanted to send a letter to the capital so that the emperor would send someone to pick him up.

Anxi shook his head without hesitation, of course not.He is not the real Zhao Tan, and he will definitely not be able to return to Beijing before exchanging with him.

Liu Ming nodded understandingly. Also, although the weather is calm now, it may be because those people haven't found this place yet. It would be bad if they are aware of it and attract killers when they send out a message.

Then wait a little longer, and Wang Qian hasn't returned from looking for the antidote yet, so he still needs to wait.

In this way, they spent another half month in the temple.

The past half month is still calm. Because Wan'an Temple is located in a deep mountain, there are not many incenses on weekdays. Only the free clinic once a month will attract more people, but they are all ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.

On that day, Anxi and the others stayed in the yard obediently and never went out, and nothing happened after that.

Liu Ming thought that they hid well, and no one really found them here.

In fact, Anxi knew that it wasn't that people who pretended to be offering incense wanted to come to their courtyards, but they were all stopped by the monks of Wan'an Temple.

That night, there were some people who refused to give up and wanted to force their way in, but were thrown out of the temple by the monks.

No danger was found, so Liu Ming proposed again, should we send a letter to the capital?

Anxi still shook his head, only hoping that Zhao Tan would recover from his injury, and found that it was safe here, so he hurried over to replace him.

After that, it was another calm January, this time it was really calm, and the killer never appeared again.

Anxi reckoned that they had given up and were not going to chase Zhao Tan any more.Or someone in the capital gave a warning and they were not allowed to do it again.

In other words, Anxi is completely safe now, but he still didn't let Liu Ming send a letter to the capital.

He didn't know how far it was from the capital city, and how long it would take for the messenger to go back and forth. He was afraid that the person who came to pick him up would arrive too soon, and he would not be able to exchange it with Zhao Tan in time.

Fortunately, he can't speak now, and he doesn't need to give an explanation for his decision.

Liu Ming got a negative answer from Anxi again, and was a little frustrated for a while, but seeing Anxi who couldn't move or speak, he thought he was too cautious and didn't persuade him much.

Time is a very strange thing. While waiting, it feels both long and short.

In the previous two months, Anxi had been lying down and could only wait passively. He felt that the time was extremely long, and he wished to pass quickly so that Zhao Tan could heal his injury sooner and he could be relieved sooner.

But in the third month, he felt that the time was too short, and he hoped that every day would be slower, or that Zhao Tan would appear in front of him immediately.

However, the countdown changed from 30, to 29, to 15, 10, and Zhao Tan still did not appear.

Anxi was a little anxious, he had poisoned Zhao Tan and the two of them, once the time passed, they would surely die!

He knows the wound medicine he prepared, even for a serious injury like Zhao Tan, two months is enough to take care of him, so why didn't they come?

They don't intend to keep Anxi here to attract firepower, and they secretly return to Beijing in disguise, right?

If so, then there is a big problem.

Because he couldn't speak, Anxi couldn't know how far it was from the capital?

It would be fine if the two died on the way, after all, no one would be able to tell that they were Zhao Tan and Wang Qian after all their bodies were swollen.And they must have disguised themselves before they left the cave, that is to say, no one could prove that those two people were the Seventh Prince and his companions.

On my own side, with these guards, no one will doubt his identity. Even if there is a way out with the original Zhao Tan, it is not a big problem. He is so sick, is it normal for him to change?

But the trouble is, even if they entered the capital smoothly and died suddenly at their home in the capital, they still looked like they were obviously poisoned, and here I was still pretending to be "fake Zhao Tan". Face endless troubles.

First of all, his appearance can arouse suspicion. Did he poison the real Zhao Tan in order to replace Zhao Tan's status as the prince?

Were these guards bought by him so that they could give him false testimony?

Was it because Zhao Tan sneaked into Beijing because he was afraid that he would chase and kill him?

These doubts may be a bit far-fetched, but it doesn't matter, the emperor doesn't care about the reality, he will definitely put Zhao Tan's death on himself.

The reason is also very simple. Zhao Tan's death cannot be separated from the credit of the other princes. The emperor must know it in his heart, but they are his own sons, while Anxi is an outsider.

His own son did something to kill his brothers, no matter how angry he gets, he will not think of taking their lives for another. Instead, he will defend them immediately. With Anxi as a ready-made scapegoat, why not use it?

In any case, Anxi's fault is fixed!

Thinking of this, Anxi's head got big.

He tried his best to mobilize his internal energy, but it was useless, and it was still useless!Master Huikong's medicine didn't work either, except for shaking his hands occasionally or shaking his head, he still couldn't do anything.

Wang Qian's poison is absolutely perfect.

Counting the time, Anxi silently counted down the countdown in his heart, counting down to the third day, the second day, the first day...

He closed his eyes fiercely, tonight is the day when Zhao Tan and Wang Qian will die!

I just don't know which corner they died in, or in the palace of the capital.

Liu Ming appeared in front of Anxi again. He made up his mind this time. He must persuade the prince to agree. It has been three full months, and no one has come for three months. The killer must have given up. They can't wait any longer. down.

This time, Anxi didn't hesitate, and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tan is dead, he can only bear the follow-up troubles, otherwise what else?

If he could move now, he would still have a chance to hide at home, but it was useless, Wang Qian's medicine was surprisingly effective, so he was helpless now.

Even if he knew that he had really contacted the capital, he would have to face endless troubles in the future, and he had to do it, after all, he still wanted to detoxify.

Wang Qian is Zhao Tan's personal companion, who took care of him since he was a child, and is loyal to him.That is to say, the poison in Wang Qian's hands has three sources, one is the royal family, the other is Zhao Tan's mother's family, and the third is Wang Qian himself.

If it's the first two, it's easy to deal with. If you go to the capital, you can naturally get the antidote. If it's the third item, you can get the antidote if you find the source. Can endure strong.

As for the troubles he guessed, he can only see the tricks when the time comes.

Liu Ming got his promise, and was very pleasantly surprised at the moment, and immediately sent someone down the mountain to deliver a letter to the capital. To be honest, after staying here for so long, they didn't know the news of the capital. , angry at their families.

The prince had never allowed him to contact the capital before. Although he was anxious, he could only wait patiently and comfort himself. The prince was cautious and for the sake of safety.

Now that the prince finally agreed, he couldn't wait.

After the news was sent out, Liu Ming came to Anxi to report back, "My lord, the news has been sent out through a relatively secret channel, and it will arrive in about ten days."

Anxi's heart skipped a beat, ten days?If the distance is so close, then at this time, Zhao Tan has already arrived in the capital?

However, no matter how bad the premonition was in his heart, he had no choice but to wait.

Ten days passed quickly, and Anxi signaled Liu Ming with his eyes: Did the capital receive the news? When will they reply?

Fortunately, although Liu Ming was not a careful person, he roughly guessed what Anxi wanted to know. "According to the time, it's almost time. In another ten days, the prince can wait for the news from the capital."

Anxi nodded, unable to speak, he could only deduce in his heart how he would deal with it when he returned to Beijing.

Capital

The emperor was reviewing the memorial when his personal eunuch hurried in from the outside, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince finally has news."

"What? Where is Tan'er now? Is he injured?" Hearing this, Emperor Xingde was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the envelope from the eunuch's hand.

Ever since the news came from Jiangnan that the Seventh Prince was hunted down and then disappeared, the emperor has been quite worried and extremely angry at the same time.

He knew early on that those few princes were restless and had been targeting each other in order to win the throne, but what he didn't expect was that they would hate so much, and they would be so cruel to their younger brothers who had just grown up.

Wouldn't he, the father who occupied the emperor's throne, be more of an eyesore?

If I don't like them, are they going to turn against me?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xingde regretted silently in his heart, he shouldn't have indulged them so much, and now they were so powerful that it was difficult for him to make a move for a while.

However, no one who is an emperor can tolerate someone threatening him, even if this person is his own child.

So all of a sudden, the princes found that their life began to become difficult.The emperor found excuses to reprimand them at every turn, and the officials under him had accidents one by one. They were caught by the opponents and sued in front of the emperor.

In this way, while the father was even more dissatisfied with them, he also dismissed those officials, which reduced their power a lot. Although they didn't hurt their bones, they were still a little bit restrained for a while.

The princes are not fools, of course they also know the reason of this accident, it all started because the seventh brother was hunted down and disappeared.

When the seventh brother had an accident, the emperor was of course furious. In order not to become cannon fodder, they could only shrink back one by one, not touching the emperor's brow.

Therefore, the situation in the capital is much better than Anxi imagined.

First of all, Zhao Tan did not return to the capital, but died outside without a sound.

Secondly, those brothers who had been staring at Zhao Tan were also suppressed by the emperor, and they were quiet for a short time. This is also the reason why no killer came back later.

So he chose the best time to deliver the letter to the capital, which also saved himself a lot of trouble.

As for what they will face after entering Beijing, we can only talk about it at that time.
