King Qinghe said forcefully that no matter how his subordinates persuaded him, he never changed his mind, and he was determined to go to the Lingfu Temple outside the city to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince.
"I can't do anything now, I can only watch the brother of the prince suffer. The only thing I can do is to pray for the brother of the prince with my pious heart. I hope that for the sake of my sincerity, The Buddha can bestow blessings and bless the elder brother of the prince to get well soon."
King Qinghe had already spoken to such an extent that the subordinates who originally persuaded King Qinghe could only let King Qinghe go to Lingfu Temple.
In order to show his piety, King Qinghe changed out of his brocade clothes and put on coarse cloth clothes. He took off the jade crown on his head and tied his hair up with a coarse cloth rope. It's very simple, it doesn't look like a prince at all, but like an ordinary person who goes up the mountain to pray for blessings.
Originally, the subordinates wanted to accompany King Qinghe to Lingfu Temple, but he refused. He said that he can go alone, and these people don't need to accompany him.
"My king heard that the Buddha in Lingfu Temple is the most effective. If you worship from the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain one step at a time, then the prayers of the believers are very likely to come true. This king is going to try it today."
Kowtowing one step at a time? You must know that there are more than 2,000 steps from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain in Lingfu Temple. If he goes up like this, how can he keep his knees? Even if he was praying for His Highness the Crown Prince, it was too hard for him to do so.
However, these people could not stop King Qinghe from making a decision. In the end, he left the house and walked towards Lingfu Temple step by step.
Seeing that they couldn't stop their lord, these servants of the Qinghe Palace felt terribly anxious, and could only hope that the lord would not work too hard and put their own body first.
In fact, there are eyeliners of the emperor in each palace, and soon the eyeliner of Qinghe palace reported all this truthfully to the emperor.
After the emperor heard the report from his subordinates, the expression on his face became a little strange. He stood in the study for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh, and said softly.
"It's extremely rare for the fourth brother to have such determination. Since he is going, let him go. Don't let any of you stop him."
Then the emperor went down to the East Palace with only two confidantes, and told His Royal Highness that King Qinghe wanted to go to Lingfu Temple to pray for him.
"The fourth one is a good one. He has a pure heart, and only he can do this for you. The second and third two..."
Speaking of this, the emperor let out a long sigh, with a look of loneliness on his face.
With King Qinghe as a comparison, it seems that the actions of King Huainan and King Ruyang have become even more unbearable.
Obviously the prince is sick now, and it is the time when he needs someone to comfort him. His health is not good, and the two younger brothers should come to comfort the prince. But those two people seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of the prince, and only took time to visit the East Palace every few days, and spent most of the rest of their time outside to improve their reputation.
Although the emperor was in the palace, he heard a lot of rumors. Those things outside the palace could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes. When he thought of what the two sons did, the emperor felt very blocked in his heart. He patted Looking at his son's pale face with his hand, the prince said softly.
"Chenggan, by now, you should already know who is behind the scenes. If so, why don't you close the net as soon as possible, what do you think?"
This situation was set up by the crown prince. Originally, the emperor still had great confidence in his sons, thinking that even if they were careful, they would not be able to do such vicious things as killing brothers and fathers as the crown prince said. .
However, the actions of King Huainan and King Ruyang completely shattered the emperor's confidence. At the same time, he also deeply realized how many unbearable things these children can do for the throne.
In order to prevent the situation from getting worse and getting out of hand, the emperor wanted the prince to stop and stop it.
However, the prince who was lying on the bed shook his head. He turned his eyes to the emperor, and there was something in his eyes that the emperor could not understand. The father and son looked at each other for a long time before the prince spoke softly.
"Father, you promised this matter to my son. You said that no matter what my son does, you will not say anything. Have you forgotten it?"
The prince said softly, and the emperor suddenly remembered what he had said to the prince before. After knowing that his son was attacked, he had already handed over the matter to the prince. It was he who gave the prince to investigate the matter. Regarding the rights of matters, if you want to re-export and say no now, it seems a bit inappropriate.
People always soften their hearts when they get old, especially when the ones who made mistakes are their other children. The emperor will be more soft-hearted. After all, they are all children who have grown up under his own watch. The one who hurts the most is the prince, but it is also good to treat the other children.
"I know, this matter is up to you, but I still hope that before my birthday party, you can solve this matter completely, so that I can have a good birthday."
Seeing the emperor's appearance, the prince knew that the emperor had compromised, he showed a weak smile towards the emperor, and said softly.
"Thank you, father, I understand, I know what to do, you can rest assured, father, I know what I am doing, no matter what the outcome is, I promise not to hurt that person's life."
Looking at the pale face of the prince, the emperor didn't say anything more, he patted the prince on the shoulder, got up and left the East Palace.
After everyone left, His Royal Highness lay down for a while, and then took out the lucky bag embroidered by King Qinghe himself from under the pillow.
The embroidery pattern on this lucky bag is crooked, it looks like something embroidered by a child. As the prince, what kind of good things has he not seen? All the things sent to him were exquisite, how had he ever seen such crooked things
If it weren't for the fact that it was embroidered by King Qinghe, it would not have been able to reach His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although he felt that King Qinghe would not be the kind of person who framed him, just in case, His Royal Highness poured out the contents of the lucky bag, and finally found that it was just a piece of ordinary agarwood and a little cinnabar. After looking at the two items, they all said that there was nothing wrong with them, so His Royal Highness put the two items into the lucky bag again, and at the same time felt that he was frightened by those conspiracies and tricks, and would suspect King Qinghe .
My younger brother is the most pure-minded, and I trust him wholeheartedly as an elder brother. On the contrary, how can I doubt my younger brother
His Royal Highness was playing with the lucky bag in his hand, thinking of how such a big man as King Qinghe carefully embroidered patterns on this lucky bag stroke by stroke with an embroidery needle, the expression on His Royal Highness's face softened. .
After all kinds of intrigues and schemes, the most touching thing is this sincere emotion.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very happy. After being schemed by his own brother, there was another younger brother who sincerely planned for him—there were not all scheming schemes in the royal family, and there were still true feelings.
At this moment, the Crown Princess came in with the stewed medicinal materials. She put the tonic on the table next to her, and found that His Royal Highness was looking at the lucky bag again, and the expression on the Crown Princess' face softened.
At this time, the doubts of the husband and wife towards King Qinghe completely disappeared. Both of them believed that the rare good brother of the Qinghe Wang family was an existence in the palace who was not stained by mud, and his sincere heart was indeed true. Impressive.
"Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine. Are you feeling better? Maybe King Qinghe can come in after a while. Fourth brother wants to see you very much."
After hearing this, the smile on His Highness's face subsided, he casually put the lucky bag under the pillow, and when he looked up at the Princess, His Highness had already turned expressionless.
"It's better not to mention such things again. The East Palace is not peaceful recently, and the fourth brother has less contact with us, which is also a good thing for him."
The Crown Princess nodded, and seeing that His Highness was unwilling to talk about King Qinghe, she didn't say anything, but fed His Highness the medicinal materials she had just sent over one bite at a time.
After drinking the medicine, His Highness the Crown Prince felt very tired. He lay down slowly, and the Crown Princess stepped forward to tuck the corners of his back for him. After watching His Highness the Crown Prince fell asleep soundly, the Crown Prince left with an empty medicine bowl out of the bedroom.
However, perhaps it was because of taking too much tonic, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt his heart burn badly in his sleep, his brows slowly wrinkled, and the blue veins on his forehead faintly showed traces, turning into criss-cross veins , spread all over his forehead, but after a while, those blue veins disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.
***
The winter day is really too cold. Originally, Sun Ziyun thought that she would pay any price in order to see King Qinghe and a better life in the future, but when she knelt there wearing thin clothes, a gust of cold wind Blowing over for a while, she felt as if she was going to be frozen into an ice lump from the inside out.
At this time, Sun Ziyun even felt a little regretful. She felt that she should not have rushed to this place so impulsively. There might be other ways to meet King Qinghe by chance. Why did she have to pretend to be prostitute and kneel here
Her appearance is not as good as the people next to her, her posture is not as good as those of the people next to her, and even the expression on her face is not as good. Compared with them, she is really inconspicuous. Do you see your own existence among people
And she has been waiting for such a long time, feeling that she is going to be frozen to death, but King Qinghe has never appeared here, so Sun Ziyun began to have doubts, thinking that there was a mistake in her memory, otherwise she should have been here Why hasn't King Qinghe here shown up until now
Once doubts arose, the firm belief began to waver. Originally, it was possible to rely on belief to resist the cold wind, but at this time the belief wavered, and the cold wind became more and more unbearable.
Sun Ziyun, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up staggeringly, wanting to get out of here, but she had been kneeling on the ground for too long, and was blown by the cold wind all the time, so she was already frozen from inside to outside. After standing up suddenly, she couldn't stand still, her body swayed a few times, and she fell directly towards the street.
It's a coincidence that Sun Ziyun's jade pendant was originally placed in her arms, but because she knelt for too long, and because the jade pendant was not put away before, she accidentally fell when she got up. After she fell down, she put it in her arms The piece and bone rolled out, and finally landed on the heel of a cloth shoe.
At this moment, Sun Ziyun didn't have any strength at all, but when she found that her jade pendant had just rolled out, Sun Ziyun burst out with endless strength from nowhere. She struggled to get up from the ground, staggering Staggeringly ran over, trying to pick up the jade pendant.
At this time, Sun Ziyun didn't see the appearance of that person at all because of the angle, but from the clothes he was wearing and the pair of cloth shoes under his feet, he could tell that the person in front of him was not of high status. She came here to meet King Qinghe, such a person of low status, Sun Ziyun would not pay attention to him at all.
"Give me back my jade pendant!"
Sun Ziyun said in a hoarse voice, because she had been outside in the cold for too long, and now she was showing signs of wind and cold, and her voice was very hoarse, not at all like the crisp and melodious girl should have.
Originally, the jade pendant fell at that person's feet, but when Sun Ziyun rushed over, the man suddenly bent down and picked up the jade pendant.
After seeing this scene, Sun Ziyun was so frightened that her eyes were tearing apart. She still remembered that when she was in the small town, the fat man found her jade pendant and tried every means to snatch it away.
This jade pendant is the foundation of her life, and the only means by which she can escape her original destiny. How can Sun Ziyun tolerate others taking her jade pendant away
Impulsively, Sun Ziyun rushed towards him, wanting to grab the jade pendant he was holding.
However, at this moment, the other party raised his hand suddenly, Sun Ziyun stepped back a few steps, and fell heavily on the ground. Her hand accidentally hit the ground, and her wrist twisted into a strange shape. After only hearing a crisp click, Sun Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and then felt bursts of severe pain coming from his wrist.
She was so painful that her entire face was deformed, and she couldn't help screaming like a pig being killed.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Originally, Sun Ziyun's attire made everyone think that she was another frivolous woman who wanted to make a good future here. The appearance of leaving here.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened suddenly at this time. Seeing Sun Ziyun's appearance, the bodies of the other women kneeling on the ground to sell themselves to bury their father trembled, and the delicate expressions on their faces could hardly be maintained.
How painful is it that the wrist is twisted like that? Can she bear it
Sun Ziyun was in so much pain that sweat dripped down her forehead, but after the severe pain passed, she still struggled to get up from the ground, and rushed towards the person who took her jade pendant.
"Give me back the jade pendant, that's my jade pendant, that's mine!"
At this time, Sun Ziyun's face was not good-looking, and even because of the pain in his wrist, his originally delicate face was a little more ferocious, but such a ferocious girl was caught by King Qinghe.
The jade pendant fell at King Qinghe's feet by such a coincidence just now, and the king of Qinghe just lowered his head so coincidentally that he saw the familiar jade pendant. After he picked it up, he confirmed the jade pendant It was the one he exchanged for his savior when he was outside Yuzhou City.
He once stayed in Jizhou City for a long time, trying to find out his savior, but in the end he searched and found no trace of his savior. The jade pendant of the savior, King Qinghe's heart filled with joy.
He raised his head and looked over, only to find a young woman rushing towards him, yelling that he would give her back the jade pendant. When he saw her appearance, King Qinghe seemed to see a woman in the firewood room in a trance. The young woman who took care of her without saying a word.
That was the most vulnerable time in King Qinghe's life. He was born as a prince. He grew up pampered and pampered. When he came out and went in, he was surrounded by many people. He had never been in such a desperate situation.
Moreover, there were many women around him in the past, and those women's thoughts towards him were clearly revealed. All the women had no good intentions for him, and they all came for his status. A young woman who told him her identity and didn't have any ill intentions for him because of his appearance.
Back then, King Qinghe's eyes had problems and he couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly. He could only see a vague outline. Now when he saw Sun Ziyun, he stacked that blurred outline with the woman in front of him by accident. together, especially since she still holds her own jade pendant in her hand.
At this moment, King Qinghe immediately decided that the woman in front of him was the one who saved him in Yuzhou City.
King Qinghe took a step forward and grabbed the opponent's wrist, but unfortunately, what he grabbed was Sun Ziyun's wrist that was accidentally broken when he fell to the ground just now. The severe pain spread from the wrist, and Sun Ziyun's entire picture Her face became contorted, and she let out a piercing scream from the pain.
Sun Ziyun's scream fell into King Qinghe's ears, causing his eardrums to buzz.
The woman in my memory was as gentle as water. When she took care of him, King Qinghe felt very at ease. When the other party did things, he always looked unhurried and took care of him very meticulously.
King Qinghe could feel the tenderness emanating from the other person from the inside out, and when he was with her, King Qinghe could feel his whole body relax involuntarily.
But the woman in front of him let out piercing screams, and she looked very different from the woman in his memory.
Just when King Qinghe had doubts, the other party snatched the jade pendant he had just pinched from King Qinghe's hand with that intact hand, and the other party stuffed the jade pendant into it like a treasure. In his arms, the other hand covered the position of the jade pendant, with a relieved expression on his face.
It can be seen that the other party seems to respect this jade pendant very much, and the original doubts were completely dissipated when seeing the other party's cherished appearance. If the other party did not value the jade pendant very much, how could it Do you want to snatch the jade pendant back
"Girl, do you remember who I am?"
After Sun Ziyun snatched the jade pendant, he could finally relax. After hearing what the other party said, Sun Ziyun was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously looked up.
When she saw the other person's face, Sun Ziyun froze immediately, she could only feel the great joy rising from the bottom of her heart, and her whole face became distorted due to excitement.
In her previous life, Sun Ziyun had secretly seen King Qinghe's appearance countless times, and even when she was in her own room, she copied King Qinghe's appearance countless times.
But she was afraid that her thoughts would be discovered by others, and most importantly, she was afraid that Qi Feng would find out her thoughts. She was afraid that she would be kicked out of Qinghe Palace by Qifeng, so even if she copied the appearance of King Qinghe, Sun Ziyun would only dare to secretly He stared at it for a while, then put it in the brazier and burned it, not daring to leave any traces.
But even so, the image of King Qinghe was still deeply reflected in Sun Ziyun's heart, even if she was reborn once, she still did not forget it at all.
At the moment when he saw King Qinghe, Sun Ziyun's originally flustered heart finally subsided.
It's not like she didn't doubt herself before. She thought that all of this was actually just her delusion. She will meet King Qinghe, and it is impossible for her to be with King Qinghe, all of this is just her delusion.
Just now when she was kneeling in the cold wind and was blown by the cold wind, Sun Ziyun thought the same way. She even had the thought of giving up, and wanted to leave the capital and return to Yuzhou City, or return to Jizhou City. Although the life there was a bit more difficult, it was still possible to survive.
But all panic, doubts and other emotions completely collapsed the moment she saw King Qinghe. She finally cleared away all the fog and clearly realized that she was not dreaming. All that is true.
"It's you, I finally saw you..."
The dream of the past life, the person she once wanted to be close to, the person she once wanted to walk side by side with, the man she had been thinking about and wanted to be with him, at this moment finally stood within her reach. place.
Seeing that the dream is about to come true, one can imagine the excitement in Sun Ziyun's heart. In addition, she had been blown by the cold wind for a while, and now seeing him again, Sun Ziyun was so excited that her body trembled and her pupils opened wide. It grew bigger and bigger, and in the end Sun Ziyun passed out because of too much joy.
King Qinghe hastily stretched out his hand to hug Sun Ziyun. The girl in his arms was as light as a feather. Looking at her with her eyes closed, at this moment she finally showed some gentleness. It looks like the woman I met in the temple.
King Qinghe's heart suddenly softened, he hugged Sun Ziyun by the waist, and strode towards the Qinghe Palace.
He met the girl he had been longing for, so he naturally wanted to send her home first.
After witnessing all this in the nearby teahouse, Qi Huan raised his eyebrows, and he already had an idea in his mind about all this.
It seems that the roulette wheel of fate is still running according to the original track. Even though the plot has changed beyond recognition and many things are different from the original ones, what should have happened still happened.
All the coincidences seem to be promoting the meeting of the hero and heroine, and from the appearance of Qinghe King and Sun Ziyun, they have clearly recognized each other.
Everything Qi Wang guessed before was not wrong, there was a reason why Sun Ziyun appeared here, her goal was King Qinghe, and she obviously achieved her goal.
But what Qi Wang paid special attention to is that King Qinghe could recognize Sun Ziyun because of the jade pendant. When Sun Ziyun rushed towards King Qinghe at the beginning, King Qinghe didn't look at Sun Ziyun with much expression Changes, when he bent down to pick up the jade pendant and saw the appearance of the jade pendant, King Qinghe's attitude towards Sun Ziyun changed.
And at the beginning, Sun Ziyun didn't recognize King Qinghe, all she wanted was the jade pendant, but when she looked up and saw King Qinghe, the expression on her face made her think What he thought was completely revealed, and at that time, Qi Wang understood everything.
The reaction of the two of them made Qi Huang complete the truth of his previous life, and he became more aware of everything that had happened.
King Qinghe identified people through the jade pendant, and Sun Ziyun knew that the jade pendant belonged to King Qinghe, and she obviously also knew that King Qinghe used the jade pendant to determine who the savior was.
And Sun Ziyun's expression when he saw King Qinghe also confirmed that Sun Ziyun knew King Qinghe, and the two options of crossing and rebirth should now be attributed to rebirth.
On the original original thread, the person who saved King Qinghe was Qi Feng, and with King Qinghe's persistence, he might have recognized Qi Feng through the jade pendant on Qi Feng's body, and then he and Qi Feng lived a happy life together, and Sun Ziyun in her previous life witnessed all this, she envied Qi Feng's life, and only wanted Li Dai Taojiang to be with King Qinghe after rebirth.
That's why Sun Ziyun targeted Qi Feng several times, setting up many schemes to put Qi Feng to death, and then she was afraid that the truth of what she had done would be leaked, so she wanted to destroy Qi's family together and destroy all All the secrets were annihilated.
However, King Qinghe's reaction was a bit intriguing. Just now, part of Qi Wang's attention was on Sun Ziyun, while the other part of his attention was on King Qinghe. He found that after King Qinghe found out that Sun Ziyun was the person he was looking for. It seemed that he was very happy, he seemed very happy to meet Sun Ziyun again, but Qi Wang could see clearly that King Qinghe's attitude towards Sun Ziyun was still a little strange.
Qi Wang has seen people who are truly in love, and he has also seen what it looks like when a person loves another person deeply. Although King Qinghe tried his best to show the appearance of being in love with Sun Ziyun, he still felt that the appearance of King Qinghe Some are superficial, and even have a little calculation, which makes Qi Wang feel curious.
Is what the original owner saw the truth? Or should it be said that the King Qinghe that Sun Ziyun thought was the real King Qinghe? Is there another possibility hidden under the truth that Qi vainly speculated
The witness Qi Wang seemed to be lost in thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Qi Shengkun walked up to him and closed the window.
After the cold wind stopped blowing, Qi Wang felt his body temperature return, and he turned his head to look at Qi Shengkun.
"Father, let's go."
Qi Shengkun felt a little strange when he suddenly said that he wanted to leave here, he thought for a moment, opened the window and looked down, and then found that Sun Ziyun, who was kneeling below, had disappeared, which made Qi Shengkun feel a little strange.
"Didn't Sun Ziyun still kneel down just now? Could it be that she was bought by other people in such a short time?"
Qi Huang shook his head, and then told Qi Shengkun what he saw earlier.
"You mean that a man picked up Sun Ziyun's jade pendant just now, and he recognized Sun Ziyun through that jade pendant, and then took Sun Ziyun away?"
All of this is as absurd and bizarre as a fictional plot in a novel. Qi Shengkun finds it very bizarre. The capital is so big and there are so many people coming and going on that street. How could Sun Ziyun know that she can meet her here? The person she wanted to meet, or did Sun Ziyun kneel here for something else from the very beginning, that she wanted to meet the person she wanted to meet here
Qi Shengkun's suspicion was not unreasonable, and after listening to his analysis, Qi Wang also nodded and said.
"Father, I think you are right, but these things have nothing to do with us. We stayed in the teahouse for too long. Instead of analyzing Sun Ziyun here, we should do other things."
What Qi Wang said was indeed reasonable, and it was meaningless to analyze what Sun Ziyun did, after all, to them, Sun Ziyun was just an insignificant person.
But Qi Wang still called a subordinate to come in, and asked him to check along the direction the two people left just now, to see where they went.
Qi Shengkun looked at Qi Wang with an indescribable expression.
"Didn't you say that everything about Sun Ziyun has nothing to do with us, so why did you send someone to check her whereabouts? This is not in line with your personality, and it also contradicts what you just said."
Qi Huang smiled, and said lightly: "I'm just curious, I want to see what kind of relationship is with the person that Sun Ziyun tries to meet with her, I want to find out who that person is, if Sun Ziyun does not hesitate Enduring untold hardships has to rush from Jizhou City to the capital."
What Qi Wang said was not without reason, Qi Shengkun thought about it for a while, then he didn't say anything, and let Qi Wang go.
The two wandered around the bustling streets in the capital, and bought a lot of gifts for Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng.
Compared with Jizhou City, the gold and silver jewelry patterns in the shop in the capital are much more, but Qi Wang is not very good at choosing these women's accessories, but Qi Shengkun is good at analyzing, what kind of jewelry is suitable for Liu Xiyu, Qi Feng He speaks clearly and logically about what kind of jewelry is suitable.
Qi Wang was speechless, but he couldn't learn such a talent. After buying enough things, they returned to the other courtyard.
Two days later, Qi Wang was resting in another courtyard, when a man in black came to his room, when the opposite person took off the hat covering his head, Qi Wang found that the other party was the man from before. Wang Xing who was following His Highness the Prince.
They got along all the way back to the capital and got along for a long time. Qi Wang and Wang Xing were familiar with each other. After seeing each other, Qi Wang smiled and beckoned Wang Xing to sit down.
"How is His Highness the Crown Prince recently?"
Wang Xing has been observing Qi Wang quietly, and found that after being left out for such a long time, Qi Wang still looks neither arrogant nor impetuous, and has no other thoughts of dissatisfaction because of being ignored for a long time.
Wang Xinggao just took a few glances at this demeanor alone. It is really rare for a young man as talented and calm as Qi Wang.
"His Royal Highness is really busy these days... His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to take Mr. Qi into the East Palace."
Qi Wang didn't ask any more questions, after tidying up briefly, he followed Wang Xing to the East Palace.
Qi Wang is just a young boy now, although he looks good, but the clothes on his body are ordinary, and he looks like a stranger, so when he was taken to the East Palace, he didn't attract many people's attention, and he was quickly and smoothly taken to the East Palace. Brought to the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince.
After His Royal Highness saw Qi Wang, his depressed mood improved a lot. He waved to Qi Wang and motioned him to come to the bed.
However, after Qi Wang walked to the bedside of His Highness the Crown Prince, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was transmitted from His Highness, besides the smell of medicine, Tai Qi Wang also smelled a faint fragrance.
After smelling this faint sweet scent, Qi Wang frowned slightly, he looked around, and his eyes fell on the direction where His Royal Highness's pillow was.
But when he found that Qi Wang had been silent all the time, after greeting him, he looked him up and down, and finally looked at the direction where the pillow was. His eyes were full of danger.
"What are you looking at?"
