Prince's Revenge

Chapter 35

In the imperial garden in early autumn, the lotus has withered, the green lotus pods stand high on the water, pairs of mandarin ducks nestle under the stone bridge, and fat koi circle around the lotus leaves.There are two people in the pavilion by the lotus pond, one is sitting and the other is standing.The sitting one was wearing a moon-white blouse, with the collar of the snow-white jacket exposed, which further accentuated his pale complexion.The standing one looked sad, with a purple gold-encrusted belt tied around a crimson crown, and soap-coloured boots reaching mid-calf.These two people were Zong Qixiu and He Yaodu who had not been back from Fujian for a long time. He Yaodu was telling Zong Qixiu what he had just heard.

As soon as He Yaodu came back, he was called away by He Dichi. He hadn't seen him for three months. The burly He Dichi seemed to be a different person. He was thin and out of shape, and the outline of his face became more and more obvious. On the road, listen to He Yaodu's thrilling experiences along the way.In just half an hour, Hattich was tired, and there was no trace of blood on his sallow face, only his sharp eyes could still see his original expression.

After hearing what he said, He Dichi couldn't hold it anymore and coughed violently. He Yaodu hurried forward and beat his back for him. Yaodu sat beside him and said, "It would be great if you could come back. Since I got the news of your shipwreck from Fujian, I immediately ordered to go to sea to look for you. Unfortunately, there is no news at all. Fortunately, you are back." After finishing speaking. , the iron-blooded emperor's eyes were moist, and turbid tears flowed down. He has experienced too many things during this time, the betrayal of his flesh and blood, which made him desperately miss his caring third son.Fortunately, he still has this son.

He Yaodu felt sour in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes, "My son and minister are not filial, which made my father and queen worry."

"Father knows, it's not your fault."

He Yaodu immediately understood what he meant, and said, "What is Father going to do?"

He Dichi shook his head, without the domineering manner of the past at all, and said with a decadent face: "As long as you are safe, go and pay your respects to your mother."

He Yaodu looked at He Dichi hesitantly, and said tentatively, "Over there..."

He Dichi waved his hands, sighed undisguisedly, and said, "I'll talk about this later. I'm tired, so you should step back first."

He Yaodu then went to the queen's bedroom, the queen saw him, hugged him and wept bitterly, He Suming also cried for a while, after a long time, the three calmed down.Na Erwan shunned the maids and eunuchs, and asked him about his experiences along the way. He Yaodu was afraid that his mother would be too worried, so he omitted those apparently sinister experiences, and only told some things he had seen and heard along the way.Na Erwan frowned and sighed, "I don't know if it's your luck or misfortune."

He Yaodu didn't understand his mother's emotion until she told about what happened after He Yaodu left. He was covered in cold sweat after hearing this, and he was terrified. , is not affected, it is really lucky, as expected, everything is blessed by God in the dark.

It turned out that not long after He Yaodu left, the eldest prince was escorted to Beijing.After entering Beijing, he was directly announced into the palace by Hedi. No one knew what the father and son talked about, but in less than half a day, some people with eyeliner inside and outside the palace knew that the emperor severely reprimanded the eldest prince. But the eldest prince didn't know how to repent, and contradicted the emperor on the spot. The father and son quarreled fiercely, and the sound of porcelain breaking in the hall was heard frequently.The emperor angrily locked the eldest prince into the clan mansion, and did not allow anyone to visit him, so that he could repent and let him out when he knew he was wrong.

But the next day, Wang Mao from the imperial hospital went to the ancestral mansion, and immediately went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after leaving the mansion. Immediately afterwards, several other imperial physicians were also admitted to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.It was also confirmed that the eldest prince was escorted into Beijing sitting in a sedan chair, not riding a horse, and that he was carried in by eunuchs when he entered the palace for an audience.Everyone speculated that the first prince was seriously injured, on his leg.It seems that in order to prove this statement, the capital decreed that the Imperial Hospital recruit famous trauma doctors, as long as talented people can apply directly to the government, and the government will personally escort them to Beijing.Naturally, some people wanted to enter the imperial hospital, but none of the doctors who entered the palace could come out again. Some said they stayed in the palace as imperial physicians, and some said they didn't take care of the eldest prince's illness, and were beheaded by the emperor in a rage .

Na Erwan said that up to this point, everything is speculation, no one has seen the eldest prince, not even her, the empress, can see the eldest prince.She once asked the emperor to send some clothes and food to the eldest prince, but the emperor refused, and only said that everything was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she should not worry about it.

Rumors spread everywhere, saying everything, but one thing was very intriguing. The Fourth Prince, who had always been close to the First Prince, did not take any action. He neither instigated the ministers to intercede for the First Prince, nor did he take any action.Everyone said Xu was the emperor who punished the four princes together.

Na Erwan also thought the same way at the beginning, she thought that the emperor has always loved the eldest prince, and the elder prince has great military achievements, maybe the emperor will release the eldest prince when he gets angry.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, all the eunuchs and maids of the clan's mansion were executed overnight.

The next day, the emperor ordered the fourth prince, He Yaoqian, and the eldest son, He Shunzhen, to escort the eldest prince back to his hometown.

Naerwan and Concubine Bojin discussed sending the eldest prince off, and went to talk to Concubine Taiji together, but Concubine Taiji was unwilling to go.Her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had cried, and Na Erwan found out that the eldest prince died in the clan mansion, but the emperor obviously didn't want others to know about it, and secretly executed the eunuch and maid who served him.This time, He Yaoqian and He Shun Zhenming were escorted back, but they were actually Fu Lingshu to go back.

Na Erwan was shocked, the emperor kept such a big matter from her, she ignored the advice of the noble concubine Bojin, and insisted on going to the emperor to find out.What was asked was the news that He Yaodu had encountered a typhoon at sea, and his life and death were unknown.

Under the double blow, He Dichi couldn't afford to fall ill, and the imperial physicians were helpless, seeing the emperor getting seriously ill day by day.

A courtier asked the emperor to forgive the prince who was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, and asked the prince to come out to preside over the government, so that the emperor could recuperate at ease, but he was severely punished by the emperor.

People in the palace were panicked, the concubines who had children were fine, at least they had someone to rely on for the rest of their lives, but the concubines who had no children were crying and crying all day long, so Na Erwan had to suppress the grief in his heart, forced a smile in front of others, and punished those concubines severely A person who spreads rumors.
