Hu Yanchen was dumbfounded and thought to himself, old man, what are you doing? Why are you so hard? How do you want me to smooth things over? Hu Yanchen still had an idea. He pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Maybe my father is not dead. Call the medical officer quickly. Hurry!"
The servant hurried out. Xi Ruoxuan pretended to be confused and looked at Hu Yanchen: "The prince is really not dead?"
Hu Yanchen chuckled and said: "Maybe! If there is no reaction, it is better to let the medical officer come. The medical officer will make the assessment more accurately."
Zhong Langyu finally understood that this old fox actually wanted to pretend to be dead to deceive me. If Xi Ruoxuan hadn't made such a fuss, I would have almost been deceived by you. good! That handsome guy won't leave, let's see what the medical officer says when he comes!
The medical officer came soon. Hu Yanchen was very cunning. He was already waiting outside the door. Hu Yanchen whispered a few words to the medical officer who came in a hurry, and the medical officer understood immediately. He entered the room again: "Uh! Everyone! I need to carefully check Prince Hu's body now. Can you go out and avoid it?" The medical officer said and looked at Zhong Langyu with a look of asking for permission. Zhong Langyu thought to himself, you are trying to drive us out. If you go out, go out. You have to give us a result anyway.
Zhong Langyu, Xi Ruoxuan, and other people came to the door. The medical officer said "hehe" and closed the door. We could guess what he was doing inside. Then Hu Feiying is fine at all. Now that the lie has been exposed, he has no choice but to live! But you can't come back to life all at once, at least you have to be half dead, so just pretend to have escaped from death!
The door was opened again, and the medical officer looked at Zhong Langyu with a smile: "Fortunately, really lucky. This dagger almost stabbed into the heart. Prince Hu is really lucky, but he still needs to be nursed back to health. Don't be careless."
Zhong Langyu looked at the medical officer doubtfully, "You kid, just talk nonsense!" I'll go in and see for myself. Zhong Langyu pulled Xi Ruoxuan and stood at the head of Hu Feiying's bed again. Hu Feiying had "awakened". He pretended to be very weak and spoke feebly: "The handsome old man almost couldn't see you, the handsome man, cough cough-"
Zhong Langyu looked down at Hu Feiying's chest. The dagger was gone, but the blood in his heart was still there, but in Zhong Langyu's eyes, it didn't look like human blood: "Prince Hu is very lucky! Such a long hair With a dagger stuck in his chest, the prince is able to turn danger into good fortune, he is really a strange person in the world!"
The implication of Zhong Langyu's words is that, my lord, you have overacted, you are inserting a dagger into your stomach! How can anyone survive with this thing in his heart? Hu Feiying also knew that this performance was a failure, but at this point he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "Thank you, thank you, handsome man, for your concern, cough cough -"
Xi Ruoxuan stood aside and gave Hu Feiying a thumbs up: "Prince Hu, you are awesome, you are a pure man!" Xi Ruoxuan said and glanced sideways at Hu Feiying's lower body, which was obviously sarcastic about the scene just now. .
Hu Feiying looked at Xi Ruoxuan angrily, but he had no choice but to turn away and pretend not to hear.
Hu Yanchen knew that if he asked any more questions, his secret might be revealed, so he said: "Commander, my father escaped death and is still very weak. Would you like to come back to talk to my father some other time? My father needs to rest."
Zhong Langyu looked straight at Hu Yanchen, which made him feel terrified. Did I say something wrong again
"Master Hu, I don't want my commander to speak too plainly about some things. You and I know it well. Although Prince Hu's stab wound is heavy, he will recover quickly, right? I hope to hear from Mr. Hu before next month." There is news that the prince is coming to Beijing, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to talk to each other." There was something in Zhong Langyu's words. Although he didn't say that Hu Feiying's injury was fake, it was already clear between the lines.
Of course Hu Yanchen understands what Zhong Langyu means. Since you don't tell the truth, I have to pretend to be stupid: "The commander-in-chief said it, the commander-in-chief said it."
Zhong Langyu glanced at Hu Feiying, then pulled Xi Ruoxuan: "Let's go!"
"Congratulations, Marshal!" Hu Yanchen wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "It's so dangerous today!"
As soon as Zhong Langyu left, Hu Feiying immediately sat up and said, "Invite Mr. Zhu here immediately."
Hu Yanchen immediately asked a servant to go and invite someone, and he sat down in front of his father's bed: "Father, it was really dangerous just now!"
Hu Feiying's face was heavy: "What's the risk? Our performance today was ruined. The person named Zhong has been fooled by me. Who would have thought that he would let that fool make such a fuss? I'm really angry to death!"
"Then what do you plan to do next?" Hu Yanchen asked carefully.
Hu Feiying sighed: "If Mr. Zhu can't give me a good idea, I guess the only way I can go is to Beijing."
Hu Yanchen said anxiously: "Father, you can't go to the capital! If you go to the capital, can Zhong Yehan spare you?"
Hu Feiying smiled bitterly: "So what if I can't forgive you!"
"We can rebel here! There are still some people under Erchen..."
Hu Feiying waved his hand: "Stop talking, what can you do with your few men and horses? Now all the military power, money and food are in the hands of Zhong. All my generals have gone with the new master. If we rebel, then A moth flies into a flame and seeks death!"
"That's better than going to the capital!" Hu Yanchen still refused to give up.
Hu Feiying thought for a while: "Although my father has been shouting with the emperor in the past few years, he has not done anything openly after all. If the emperor thinks of my merits in guarding the border, it shouldn't be too difficult for me. Prime Minister, I don't have extravagant expectations. I will do it." It is still possible for a common man to become a common man."
Hu Yanchen didn't expect his father to be so depressed, and he sighed: "Let's wait until Mr. Zhu comes!"
Zhu Xun arrived soon, but he had no good solution. Instead, he encouraged Hu Feiying to go to Beijing. He said: "Your Majesty, now that the conditions for rebellion have been lost, it is meaningless to talk about those things now, so the Prince should forget the past and seek refuge with the court. That way, the Emperor will remember the prince's past achievements and will not be murderous towards the prince." .The prince has gone to the capital. Although he does not have the power he has now, at least his glory and wealth are still guaranteed."
Zhu Xun's words reached Hu Feiying's heart. Zhu Xun had persuaded him to rebel in the first place, but he was too timid and lost his best opportunity. Now he can only pretend to be his grandson and be Zhong Yehan's subject. When Hu Yanchen saw that his father had made up his mind, he was completely discouraged, and his dream of becoming a prince disappeared.
