Chu Qingyan was still immersed in the grief that her friend was seriously injured and was about to die soon. At this moment, some people suddenly appeared, and Chu Qingyan was not in the mood to take care of it.
But Xiao Xu, who was on the side, narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing how these people were dressed and said, "What's the matter with you?"
The leader unfolded the painting in his hand and compared it. After it was indeed the person they were looking for, he immediately smiled, and saw that he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Xu and others, "The next is Zhang, the first-grade guard with a sword in front of His Royal Highness. Open, according to His Highness's oral order, look for the whereabouts of several."
"His Royal Highness?" Chu Qingyan repeated these words, her face a little confused, she didn't remember knowing such a person.
Zhang Kai smiled when he heard the words, "My Highness said that he is the twin brother of your friend, and your friend is the princess of our Shang Kingdom."
Chu Qingyan suddenly widened her eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Your Highness is Duguqing?"
On the street, she once laughed at her and said that she looked like her own brother, and it was because of this that she knew that Duguqing had a twin brother.
For this little girl blatantly calling her Highness by name and surname, Zhang Kai felt a little tight on her scalp, but His Highness explained that no matter what shocking remarks this girl has, it doesn't matter, Zhang Kai nodded immediately, "Miss Chu, my family Your Highness wants to call you into the palace for something urgent, but unfortunately you are no longer in Jiang Country, but fortunately Your Highness asked us to send someone to guard the city gate, and only then did we find your trace."
At this moment, Yi Lingfeng, who was beside him, listened to their conversation, his voice trembled inaudibly, and asked, "Is your princess okay?"
Zhang Kai heard the words and shook his head heavily, without saying a word.
Such a move made everyone's heart sink.
"Enter the palace!" Xiao Xu ordered immediately.
He opened his eyes and looked at this man, with a fierce aura, but it was hidden, which made people feel a sense of dread and humbleness for no reason.
"Yes." Zhang Kai lowered his head, daring not to delay.
A group of people rushed into the palace overnight.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the sky began to flutter lightly with snow again.
There are white silks hanging everywhere in the palace, solemn and solemn, mourning and repressed.
Chu Qingyan looked around, all of them were white, and there was an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
The big ice cube on the side was calm and indifferent, while Yi Lingfeng on the side was silent and sad.
Chu Qingyan felt sad for Yi Lingfeng.
If it had been cherished at the beginning, it would not have ended up like this now.
She still complained a little bit about Yi Lingfeng. She felt that he had hurt Duguqing deeply, but seeing his remorse filled her eyes, she couldn't bring herself up to be angry with him.
Because compared to anyone else, his heart is the most uncomfortable one.
The imperial study has arrived.
From Zhang Kai, I learned that the prince had been traveling outside until something happened in the palace before returning to the country. Now he has been staying in the imperial study to handle national affairs, except for food and rest, he basically stayed half a step.
With such a big thing happening in the palace, this prince is probably under countless pressures!
Zhang Kai let the palace servants waiting outside go in and make a report, and soon, the people in the imperial study room opened.
Chu Qingyan glanced at Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu patted her on the shoulder, "You have to face what you should face."
Hearing this, she nodded heavily.
Knowing that she is more like the person in front of her.
What she was most worried about at the moment was hearing the news of Duguqing, afraid that it was too serious for her to accept.
But the big ice cube said that what should be faced must always be faced.
She took the step without hesitation.
When Chu Qingyan and the three entered the imperial study, they saw the person sitting behind the desk.
He is dressed in a complex and delicate yellow robe of the prince, embroidered with a soaring dragon. The bright yellow color complements his red lips and white teeth. His hair is tied up by a jade crown and hangs down behind his head. His face is like a crown of jade, and the jade tree faces the wind. , the corners of his brows and eyes hide aura, and his voice and smile are gentle.
It is simply a replica of the men's Duguqing!
"Sister Dugu." When the person in front of him raised his head, Chu Qingyan couldn't help calling out.
Xiao Xu and Yi Lingfeng also looked at the person behind the desk at this time, Xiao Xu frowned, while Yi Lingfeng stared at her.
"Are you Miss Chu?" Duguqing asked gently instead of changing color because of her shouting.
The voice is clear and magnetic, different from Duguqing's beautiful and lovely.
Chu Qingyan was stunned for a moment before replying, "I am."
"I have heard the emperor say about you, does this palace look a lot like the emperor? Many people have said that." Duguqing smiled, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, revealing a radiant glow. Smile.
She grew up with the emperor's younger brother. In the past, in order to take exams for him, she often pretended to be him. She even imitated her gestures, every look, and every smile so vividly that even their parents, the emperor and the empress sometimes couldn't tell them apart. She's been on voice-changing pills all the time, and her voice is different from her own.
She was confident that she could hide from those present.
It's just that she didn't expect Yi Lingfeng to come as well, and she almost revealed herself the moment she saw him, but fortunately, her strong self-control pulled her back.
She simply stopped looking at him, so as not to be disturbed.
Chu Qingyan pursed her lips. The person in front of her was very similar to Duguqing, but her actions when talking and laughing were not at all similar, but her intuition gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Sorry, I got you wrong." Chu Qingyan restrained her gaffe, and said generously.
"Miss Chu doesn't need to be too polite. When Huangjie wrote to this palace before, she often mentioned you, saying that she was in a relationship with you. There are very few people who can make her talk about it all the time. It shows that she really cares. You friend." Duguqing smiled slightly.
"But I heard that she was injured. I don't know what's going on now?" Chu Qingyan took a step forward, looking anxious.
Hearing Chu Qingyan mentioning this matter, Duguqing thought of the emperor's younger brother lying on the bed, who was still in a coma, and a look of grief flashed on her face.
"The injury is serious, and the imperial doctor is still continuing his life." Duguqing said in a low voice.
"Continue your life?" Yi Lingfeng suddenly lost his composure, and the dead man looked at Duguqing with disbelief written all over his face.
Life extension rather than healing, these two words have already explained that people at this time are already hanging by a thread, and they may die of serious injuries anytime and anywhere.
Duguqing was slightly surprised by Yi Lingfeng's demeanor. This person seemed different from the past at first sight, but there were too many things in his heart at this time, and he couldn't think about it.
"good."
A trace of sadness appeared on Chu Qingyan's face, "Can we go see her?"
"Not for now, the imperial doctor said that it is not appropriate to visit now, for fear of aggravating the injury of the imperial sister. This palace knows that you are very worried about her, but please forgive me." Duguqing said with a frown, she could not let them go to see him, otherwise the identity would be lost Being exposed, this is the reason why those imperial doctors were imprisoned by her.
"We can understand." Chu Qingyan looked down, while Xiao Xu on the side put his hand on her shoulder and patted her comfortably.
"Actually, I invited you to enter the palace today because the royal elder sister once explained something to give you something." Duguqing spoke at the right time.
"Excuse me, what is it?" Chu Qingyan wondered.
