Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

Because of Shen Rongci's fire, the guards who were looking for the trace of Prince Yan couldn't even find his body. It was only because they found Prince Yan's crown in the ashes that it was confirmed that Prince Yan had died.

As for what else was burned in the pile of ashes, a special person had to be found to investigate, and the guards couldn't tell the difference.As for whether Prince Yan was burned alive, or whether his body was destroyed afterwards, facing Prince Yan who had been burned to ashes, it is impossible to know what happened.

But in any case, Prince Yan must have been deliberately led into the cave and then killed.

After hearing the news, the emperor fainted immediately, and could only stay in the other palace on Tianping Mountain that night, and return to the palace after recovering the next day.

Except for Dali Si Cheng who wanted to stay to investigate the case, the rest returned to Beijing on their own.

But because of the sudden incident, the emperor did not bring enough forbidden troops. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the other palace, Duke Chongning asked himself to stay and bring the Shen family army to guard the other palace for the emperor.

The Queen naturally disagreed: "The Holy Majesty is in a coma, how can he rest assured to entrust the safety and security to the hands of the foreign army?"

The commander of the imperial army is the queen's own uncle, and the surname she mentioned probably excluded her own family.

Lord Chongning said neither humble nor overbearing: "It takes three hours to go back and forth from Tianping Mountain to the imperial palace. Even if we send a message to the imperial army immediately, it will take two hours to arrive at the soonest. If there is no one to guard the Holy Majesty and the two For the safety of the empress, any mistake will be the negligence of the minister. The minister swears that as soon as the imperial army arrives, he will immediately withdraw from the Shen family army, and will never go near the inner palace while the Shen family army is guarding. For the safety of the Holy Majesty For the sake of thinking, I also look forward to the empress Haihan."

The queen wanted to say something, but was stopped by the prince beside her.

The crown prince said: "Duke Chongning's loyalty to the emperor is naturally beyond doubt, and the queen mother is just too worried about the emperor. Don't be offended by some words."

Duke Chongning bowed his head without changing his face: "I dare not."

"Duke Chongning doesn't have to wait for the imperial army to come. After all, it's more serious. I can't bear to see you working so hard. If Duke Chongning doesn't dislike it, he will temporarily stay in another palace tonight, so that we can be safe. There is also a guarantee."

When the queen heard this, she frowned, obviously unwilling, but no matter how dissatisfied she was, she would not criticize the prince in front of outsiders, so she swallowed all her words.

Duke Chongning thought over and over again, and finally nodded in response: "Thank you for your understanding."

Duke Chongning stayed behind, so Shen Rongci and Gu Chiyuan naturally also stayed in the other palace.

Although the emperor didn't come to live in other palaces often, the palace staff would clean the floor every day, and the beds would be refurbished every day, just to prevent emergencies like today.

While Concubine Jin had to take care of the emperor's affairs, she also spared time to arrange a small secluded palace for Shen Rongci and Gu Chiyuan.This place is far away from the emperor's bedroom and the palaces of the concubines, so there is no need to be afraid of bumping into any nobleman, it is just right for the two of them.

There is a soup spring in the other palace, and there is one near the small palace where they live, which was specially set up for the prince and prince.However, the place is remote and the soup spring is small, so it has never been used since its establishment.

It's cheaper now, Shen Rongci.

He had been running in the mountains for a day, had a fight with Gu Chiyuan in the grass, and then played around with his two brothers. Now that he was relaxing, he felt sore all over his body. It must be very satisfying to think about soaking in a hot spring. Comfortable.

Gu Chiyuan seemed to be looking forward to bathing in Tangquan, his eyes were shining when he looked at Shen Rongci.

How could Shen Rongci not know what he was thinking, and immediately rejected his proposal to take a bath together in Tangquan: "You are only allowed to go when I come back, you know!"

"Husband, I won't be with you, I can rub your back for you..."

"no!"

He went to the hot spring to relax, not to add new injuries!

Shen Rongci would no longer be fooled by his innocent appearance, and after he refused without a doubt, he walked to Tangquan Pool with a tub of towels and a change of clothes in his arms.

Tangquan is in a bamboo forest, surrounded by bamboo walls. When the wind blows, you can hear the rustling and insects in the forest, which is quite interesting.

The rotating palace man prepared special spices for bathing for him, poured them into the paper lanterns beside the soup spring and burned them quietly, which has the effect of concentrating and meditating.After doing this, Shen Rongci asked them to retreat.

He stepped into the water, letting the warm water cover his skin little by little, feeling every inch of skin and bones relax a little bit.He scooped up a handful of water, and under the moonlight, he could clearly see his own reflection on the water.

And the little red mark on the neck.

He washed his face indiscriminately, leaned against the pebbles at the edge of the spring, let his whole body relax in the warm spring, closed his eyes to prevent himself from thinking wildly.

"Host, host, wake up."

A soft call came from his ear, and Shen Rongci opened his eyes in a daze, only to realize that he accidentally fell asleep in the water.

Fortunately, he didn't sleep for a long time and was woken up by the system.

The system did not go up the mountain with him today, but stayed in the camp all the time, and after arriving at the other palace, Gu Chiyuan stayed by his host's side all the time, so he never found a chance to talk to the host.

He didn't want to come while the host was taking a bath, but he couldn't find any other time.Unexpectedly, when he came, he saw the scene of his host sleeping in the water, his entire chin was already submerged in the water, and seeing that his mouth and nose were about to slip down, he quickly woke him up.

Fortunately, there was steam on the surface of the water as a cover, and the system adhered to the principle of seeing no evil, so it didn't look at Shen Rongci, and naturally it didn't see the mottled and ambiguous marks on his body.

However, Shen Rongci still sank his body into the water with a guilty conscience, leaving only one head, and asked him: "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing special, just to let you know that the autumn hunting mission is complete."

"Mission completed?"

The system didn't mention it, and he almost forgot about it.After all, too many things happened on Tianping Mountain, and Qiuhun finally ended hastily because of the death of Prince Yan and the fainting of the emperor, not to mention the selection of the leader.

The system nodded and explained: "Although the emperor fainted, it does not affect the independent judgment of the system host. The system host has already made corresponding statistics on the trophies obtained by the participants of this autumn hunt. There is no suspense that Gu Chiyuan won!"

Shen Rongci was a little puzzled: "I remember that Wu Caijun also hunted a lot before?" It seemed that he even hunted more.

"I don't know the details. Didn't Wu Caijun go down the mountain once before, saying that he wanted to call someone to rescue Gu Chiyuan? His prey should have been lost at that time... Oh, yes, what Wu Caijun said is true Is it? Host, you...really hit Gu Chiyuan?"

"Nothing..." Shen Rongci subconsciously denied it.

"Then why did Wu Caijun say that? What did you and Gu Chiyuan do to cause him to misunderstand? I don't think he looks like he's lying..."

"..." Shen Rongci recalled what he "did" with Gu Chiyuan, felt guilty for a while, and really didn't dare to let the system know the truth, so he changed his words, "Yes, I beat Gu Chiyuan."

"Ah?" The system's eyes widened, puzzled, "Why?"

Domestic violence is unacceptable!The host is confused!

"At that time, it was for the prince to watch. It was requested by Gu Chiyuan himself. I don't know the specific reason."

Shen Rongci did not lie, this is indeed a fact that even Gu Chiyuan himself cannot deny, not to mention that the crown prince has done so many bad things, it is natural to drag him out to take the blame at critical moments.

Upon hearing that it was the male protagonist's request, and not that his own host went astray, the system heaved a sigh of relief and got back to the topic.

"Having said that, the reward for this mission is to be able to open the point exchange room, is the host happy?"

When Shen Rongci heard this, he finally got excited.You can choose the things in the point exchange room by yourself, but there are requirements for each opening, and you can't open it anytime and anywhere.

"What can be exchanged now?"

The system created a jade slip out of thin air and put it in Shen Rongci's hands.Shen Rongci understood, pasted the blank jade slip on his forehead, closed his eyes, and three treasures immediately appeared in his mind.

The other two are just ordinary pills, nothing more than props to increase the male lead's favorability.

Shen Rongci focused on the last thing and carefully checked its attributes.

The system watched him put down the jade slip in his hand, and chose to exchange it for the last treasure - the Heartless Pill.

"Why did you choose this? As far as I know, there are very few hosts in the past who choose the Unfeeling Pill, almost none." The system asked puzzled.

Shen Rongci did not answer his question, but only asked: "How many points do I have? Is it enough to exchange for another Unfeeling Pill?"

The system said: "The Unfeeling Pill is not cost-effective, and one piece costs [-] points. The host has already saved [-] points before, and now he has used up [-], which is still [-] points away."

Shen Rongci nodded to express his understanding.Three thousand points is equivalent to doing two or three more tasks to reach it.

He asked the system to help put away the Unfeeling Pill and leave first, otherwise Gu Chiyuan might become suspicious if the system left for too long, and told the system that he would go back after soaking for a while.

I don't know if it was because of soaking in hot water for too long, but Shen Rongci always felt that he had no strength in his body.

And obviously he had already slept once just now, after the system left, he felt sleepy again.

wrong.

He has been marching for many years, and he has never closed his eyes for five consecutive days. In order to prevent the enemy from raiding, he will not relax his vigilance even if he sleeps, let alone let himself fall asleep, let alone fall asleep in the soup pond when he is so tired.But he was in the water just now, and he didn't realize that he had fallen asleep until he was woken up by the system.

All this is too abnormal.

But now it was too late for him to realize that something was wrong, and when he wanted to stand up from the pool, he realized that he was groggy and had no strength at all, and his pair of eyelids seemed to have jacks, uncontrollable trying to close.

He braced his body, clenched his tongue with the tip of his teeth, trying to wake himself up, but he had no more strength, and his jaw loosened in an instant.

A figure dressed as a palace official swayed in his blurred vision, and the other party's voice was far away, as if calling him.

Shen Rongci failed to respond and fell into a coma.
