I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]
Chapter 52
Xu Zheng put the boy in his arms on his bed, looked at his pale and pitiful face, frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to take off the black clothes on Shuo Yue's body, and watched the wound on his shoulder soaked in water , and the whip wounds on his body are particularly shocking.
Xu Zheng turned around, took out the wound medicine from the accompanying baggage, and carefully applied the medicine to Shuo Yue by candlelight.
Xu said that the medicine was too strong, Shuo Yue frowned in pain and said softly, Xu Zheng said softly, "Don't worry, the pain will be gone tomorrow after taking the medicine."
Hearing Xu Zheng's voice, Shuo Yue really stopped frowning, opened his eyes, Xu Zheng's figure became clearer and clearer in front of his eyes, as soon as Shuo Yue grabbed Xu Zheng's hand, he touched him. Deep eyes.
Shuo Yue panicked, and murmured in a low voice: "My lord... has taken care of my humble job."
Xu Zheng looked at his turned away face, his gaze looking away, and put the medicine porcelain bottle by Shuo Yue's ear, "Then you can apply the medicine yourself."
Xu Zheng got up and wanted to leave, but Shuo Yue grabbed his wrist again, different from the previous cynical, looking at Xu Zheng's pitiful appearance at this moment made people feel distressed: "My lord, it hurts."
Xu Zheng lowered his eyes and sighed, sat down on the side of the bed again, grabbed the porcelain bottle and poured medicine on Shuoyue again: "This time you made the decision to assassinate His Majesty, if the master finds out about it, you will definitely be punished."
"I don't want my lord to be punished...Hiss..." Shuo Yue said softly, "Master spent so many years... cultivating contacts, but now he loses two people in less than a year, and there is no one of his own to replace them...Humble job knows the master definitely will……"
"Enough is enough. Even if you succeed in assassinating His Majesty, it will not be able to make up for the loss of the master. You should rest easy. I will find a way to send you out of the palace tomorrow." Xu Zheng said with a cold expression.
"If I succeed in the assassination, at least I can make up for my mistakes, and the master will be able to go to Beijing to meet you." Shuo Yue watched Xu Zheng get up, quickly got up from the bed enduring the pain and said, looking at Xu Zheng's back.
Xu Zheng stopped in front of Shuo Yue, lowered his eyes and nodded, and did not speak for a long time.
Shuo Yue cautiously stretched out her hand and shook Xu Zheng's sleeve, and said slowly, "My lord, I made a mistake in my lowly position."
After all, Xu Zheng sighed, turned around and looked at the poor Shuo Yue under the high order, sat back beside him and said, "I have already said that you need to use your brain before you act. When the master asks about it in the future, he will say it was my idea."
"No, I will bear the responsibility of my mistakes alone." Shuo Yue said stubbornly.
"Now that the master has sent you to my side to serve as my servant, is there any difference between what you did and what I ordered?" Xu Zheng nodded, with a wry smile on his lips.
Seeing Xu Zheng's appearance, Shuo Yue finally made up her mind and hugged him tightly. Xu Zheng only struggled twice before Shuo Yue said pitifully, "Don't move, it hurts..."
"It hurts so much, you deserve it, let go." Xu Zheng's attitude was firm, but Shuo Yue didn't let go at all, and still hugged him tightly:
"My lord is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but he still loves me." Shuo Yue smiled triumphantly and hugged Xu Zheng even tighter.
Xu Zheng didn't answer his words, but just quietly hugged by him, his eyes darkened, but his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he couldn't tell the truth.
In the early morning of the next day, the emperor issued a decree to return to the court. Xu Zhengyuan was still trying to get Shuoyue out of the palace. Now that the emperor drove back to Luan, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Princess Mu Chun, who cleared up the misunderstanding, and her son-in-law Zhou Baichen rode in the forefront, and Zhou Baichen followed closely behind the princess. Even if the princess gave her a cold face, he would always wait in front of her with a smile on her face.
The story of Yuan Yin being assassinated and injured while hunting in the palace had already been reported back to the capital. As soon as the ceremonial guard of honor arrived in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, the Empress Dowager waited anxiously with the support of Xiao Anzi, watching Yuan Yin get out of the car. After Xiaoluzi got out of the carriage with his help, he hurried over:
"Ai's grandson, where did you get hurt?"
The Empress Dowager anxiously held Yuan Yin's wrist tightly, looking up and down, trying to see where Yuan Yin was injured.
Looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager, Yuan Yin helped her walk to Changle Palace step by step, and whispered in his ear: "Grandmother, grandson is not injured, this is just a plan set up by Xiao Qing and Xiao Qing."
The Empress Dowager looked at Yuan Yin, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and Yuan Yin said again: "Grandmother, this matter is a long story. After sending grandma back, my grandson will talk to grandma in detail."
The Empress Dowager nodded, then tightly held Yuan Yin's wrist, and followed him back to the Ci'an Hall of Changle Palace.
In the Ci'an Palace, Yuan Yin supported the Empress Dowager to sit down, then squatted in front of her, looked up at her: "Grandmother, don't worry about your grandson, is your grandson okay?"
The Empress Dowager reached out and caressed Yuan Yin's cheek, sighed and said: "After all, he didn't give up."
"Who is grandma talking about?" Yuan Yin asked suspiciously.
"It's your uncle, Qi Wang Yuanqi." The Empress Dowager stared into Yuan Yin's eyes and said seriously.
Yuan Yin was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't quite believe what the Empress Dowager said.
He always remembered that in his last life, King Qi Yuanqi was loyal to him, and all the good things he got would be sent to the emperor of the capital, including Cangxue, which only produced ten altars that year. He also thought of himself, and sent wine to the capital all the way. , just to let him taste delicious.
He even invited the king of Qi to the capital, and the king of Qi even gave him a good horse when hunting, and talked with him all night.
The King of Qi he knew was Jiyueqingfeng, a man who cherished the country but enjoyed the leisure, how could he get involved with the struggle for imperial power?
"Grandmother, didn't the emperor go to the fief early?" Yuan Yin asked suspiciously.
The Empress Dowager said: "When your father was still the crown prince, the fourth prince Yuan Zhi and the seventh prince Yuan Qi were the biggest opponents for the crown prince, and the biological mother of the fourth prince Yuan Zhi was the cousin of your great-grandmother's natal family, so the influence cannot be tolerated." Xiao Wang, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince Yuan Qi is General Zhenyuan, who was later named the younger sister of the Marquis of Jin, so her power in the army is naturally no worse than your father's."
"I heard Xiao Qing say that the reason why father's crown prince can be stabilized is because grandmother is the queen, and there is Lord Zhen Guo in the court, so it is difficult to shake." Yuan Yin replied seriously.
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, but it's really because of this that the people in the court are divided into three branches, but Yuan Zhi's temperament is unstable and he can't hold his breath. That year your grandfather took them to the paddock to hunt, you The royal father was also assassinated by an assassin. Afterwards, the assassin was arrested. The confession was instigated by the fourth prince's mother and concubine. Murder of the prince is a serious crime. The fourth prince's biological mother refused to admit it, which annoyed your grandfather, so she was deposed and thrown into the cold palace , and Yuan Zhi was just made the county king and sent to the fief."
"What about Uncle Seven?" Yuan Yin asked.
"Your Seventh Emperor Uncle is smart. He doesn't fight or grab, which is very popular with your grandfather. He has been like this until your grandfather died. His uncle wanted to support him as emperor in the court. He even almost met with Lord Zhen Guo in battle, but after all, your father was always benevolent when he was the crown prince, and he didn't make any mistakes. The temporary Yi Chu enthroned the court ministers and your uncle didn't allow it, so they didn't get any advantage, you After Emperor Father ascended the throne, they kept to themselves, but they didn't expect that after so many years, he still didn't give up and came to harm my grandson."
The empress dowager caressed Yuan Yin's face with her warm palms, and stared at him with deep eyes.
Yuan Yin looked at the Empress Dowager and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, grandson is fine."
"It's just that my grandson is fine. If my grandson loses a hair, I will definitely kill him." Yuan Yin was not afraid of the fierce look of the empress dowager, but sat down beside the empress dowager intimately, and said to her Jiao.
The assassination of the emperor in the palace, after returning to Beijing, there was an uproar in the capital.
And at this time, Beiyi sent a letter saying that the Beiyi mission to Dawei will arrive in the capital in the first month. For this reason, Yuan Yin specially ordered the Ministry of Industry to repair the embassy in the capital to receive Beiyi in the coming year. Yi Mission.
It's just that Yuan Yin was very puzzled. He remembered that the last Beiyi mission to Wei Dynasty was in the fourth year of Daxing, and he didn't come to the mission at the beginning of his enthronement. How could the time be brought forward?But thinking about it carefully, since Yuan Yin's rebirth, many things in this year have been different from before, so Yuan Yin didn't think about it.
In Taiwei's mansion, Yuan Qi in a black gown was sitting quietly in the gazebo in the backyard, with tea boiling in the stove in front of him.
His eyes were dark, and he looked directly at the flowers and plants carefully cultivated by Xu Zheng in the flower garden. There seemed to be a smile on his lips, and his eyes fell on Xu Zheng who had returned to the mansion.
Before he had time to change his court clothes, he came in a hurry, looking at the person sitting in the pavilion, he was very happy, but for some reason, his footsteps stopped under the pavilion, he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Qi, Then he saluted and said:
"See Your Majesty."
Yuan Qi looked at the man standing in front of him, and raised his hand to beckon. Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, his heart skipped half a beat, his footsteps trembled slightly, but he still walked over.
Yuan Qi took Xu Zheng's hand and dragged it into his arms, pinched his chin, rubbed his thumb against his lips, a sneer appeared on his lips, and said, "What do you want, you can't keep me in court. Now he dares to act rashly and order to assassinate him."
"I...I..." Xu Zhengqi wanted to explain, but when he looked into Yuan Qi's eyes, he didn't know how to explain.
Yuan Qi snorted coldly: "Forget it, since the matter has already happened, we have to make another plan. Besides, Qin Quan and Chang Hanyu deserve to die. Now that the little emperor has acted for the king, it saves the king a lot of money." Trouble."
"Will the prince stay in Beijing this time?" Xu Zheng raised his eyes and asked.
"Well, the Beiyi mission came to Beijing in the first month, and sooner or later, the king's power in the court will be wiped out by the little emperor and the Duke of the Town, so I might as well find another power to help me." Yuan Qi Gently pinching Xu Zheng's jaw, his eyes were full of scheming.
"Then I'll go and arrange a residence for the prince." Xu Zhengzheng was about to get up, but Yuan Qi tightly restrained his waist:
"No need, this king will live with you."
Xu Zheng avoided Yuan Qi's eyes and nodded repeatedly.
And on the roof not far from Taiwei's Mansion, Shuoyue held her sword and looked up, she didn't pay attention to the two people in the gazebo, she just looked away.
Xu Zheng turned around, took out the wound medicine from the accompanying baggage, and carefully applied the medicine to Shuo Yue by candlelight.
Xu said that the medicine was too strong, Shuo Yue frowned in pain and said softly, Xu Zheng said softly, "Don't worry, the pain will be gone tomorrow after taking the medicine."
