His Royal Highness is still poisoned, so it is not good to keep Qi Wang here for a long time. After chatting with him for a while, he promised not to forget the weapon Qi Wang made.
"I have been busy with other things for the past two days, but I will never forget what I promised you before. The weapons you made will be presented to my father soon, and your position as a fifth-rank officer is gone. It won't fall."
After hearing what His Royal Highness said, Qi Wang stood up and bowed respectfully to His Royal Highness.
"Thank you Your Highness, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first."
His Royal Highness nodded, called Wang Xing, and told him to send Qi Huang home safely.
After Qi Wang left, His Royal Highness quickly called the confidant imperial doctor to secretly detoxify himself. Fortunately, he was poisoned by the nine-leaf vine for not too long, and the impact on him was not too great. After a dose of medicine went down, the toxicity was completely removed.
When he was poisoned before, His Royal Highness didn’t feel much, thinking that he was no different from before. However, after detoxification, his mind completely recovered, and His Royal Highness realized that his emotions had been fluctuating in the past period He didn't have much patience when dealing with the princess, let alone his subordinates.
In addition, the most obvious change in his attitude is when he treats his own children, no matter whether they are his sons or bastards. His Highness scolded a lot.
Previously, His Royal Highness thought it was because he had been pretending to be ill recently, and in order to confuse the real one, he had to drink those tonics again.
But all medicines don't taste very good. It's normal for him to be in a bad mood because he can't get off the bed and has to drink so much medicine.
But after calming down, His Royal Highness found that his own emotions were not what he should have been under normal circumstances.
It's not that he didn't get sick before, and it wasn't that he didn't have physical discomfort and had to do a lot of things, but at that time he would never vent his anger on his family members, let alone vent his anger on young children. His condition is clearly abnormal.
All this seems reasonable. The poison of the nine-leaf vine has subtly affected His Highness the Crown Prince. He has been poisoned for a short time now, but his temper is a little more irritable than before. got worse.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not tell the emperor what he had discovered, but instead called his confidantes and told them to start to investigate King He carefully.
You must know that His Highness the Crown Prince focused most of his attention on King Huainan and King Ruyang before. King Qinghe just checked briefly, and put it aside after finding no problems. Put it on the other two younger brothers.
King Qinghe looks clean and there is no problem, but is he really so pure and flawless, like a piece of white paper? That's not necessarily the case. The failure to find out the problem before only proves that King Qinghe hid it too deeply. He had already predicted everything, and instead erased all possible problems, so that people could not understand his depth.
The subordinates received the order from His Royal Highness, and soon began to investigate in full swing.
His Royal Highness has been able to sit in this position for so many years, and the power in his hands is far beyond what ordinary people can compare. Now he has mastered many secrets of King Huainan and King Ruyang, and the rest is King Qinghe.
"Bengong's good brother, I really want to know how many surprises you have that I don't know."
****
After returning home, Qi Wang told Qi Shengkun about His Royal Highness summoning him, and at the same time gave Qi Shengkun a reassurance, telling him not to worry about his official position anymore.
"Father, His Highness the Crown Prince has already told me that he will present my weapon to the Emperor, and His Highness the Crown Prince also said, don't worry, my position as a fifth-rank officer, Wailang, must be stable."
Previously, Qi Shengkun's heart was always up and down, and the matter of Qi Huan becoming an official hadn't settled for a day, and he could never feel at ease in his heart.
Now when Qi Wang said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made a promise that he would definitely get the official position as a fifth-rank officer, Qi Shengkun was so happy that he almost didn't jump up. He clasped his hands together and kept praying, saying things like the blessings of his ancestors.
Seeing Qi Shengkun's appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Qi Duan's mouth, and a faint smile appeared on his face, he walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly, feeling his body warmed up, Qi Wang immediately mentioned another matter.
"Father listened to what His Royal Highness said. The fact that I can enter the court as an official should be confirmed during the period of time. If we go back to Jizhou City again, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and there is no way to do it in time." With the notice from His Royal Highness, why don't we bring our mother and eldest sister to the capital?"
In fact, the prince did not give a clear time, but it is not long before the Chinese New Year. If they rush back to Jizhou City and come back after the Chinese New Year, there will be too much delay on the way back and forth. Not worth it.
More importantly, King Qinghe didn't know what else he would do during this period of time. He had already exposed his fangs, and he would not continue to keep his own place if he thought about it. With Sun Ziyun's vindictive character, he will definitely attack them.
You must know that in the original plot, the Qi family was so kind to Sun Ziyun, she could only ruin the Qi family, but this time their family is not good to Sun Ziyun. won't believe it.
After all, the person standing behind Sun Ziyun is King Qinghe, and the power of a prince is not something that merchants like them can handle. Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng are still staying in Jizhou City. If King Qinghe really wants to attack, Qi Huang will be beyond his reach. , may not be able to protect the two of them.
It would be better to bring the two of them to the capital. With the relationship between Qi Huang and His Highness the Crown Prince, even if King Qinghe wanted to do something, he would have to take care of it.
"Bringing them to the capital? Isn't that inappropriate?"
You must know that it will take more than half a month to travel from Jizhou city to the capital city. Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng rarely travel far. Very low, Qi Shengkun was afraid that the two of them would not be able to adapt to the hardships of the journey and the temperature in the capital.
"Do you really want to call the two of them over here? The journey is too hard. If you let them come here, you will suffer a lot of troubles on the way. Maybe it won't be too late after we settle the matter here before going back."
Qi Huang shook his head and said: "Father, we haven't seen each other for a long time. On the day of family reunion, I don't want to be separated from my mother and sister, and if I can get an official position this year, I will It is a great joy, and the whole family naturally wants to celebrate together."
"Besides, they don't need to hurry when they come here. There is still a period of time before the Chinese New Year. It is more than enough time for them to come here for such a long time."
What Qi Wang said was very reasonable, Qi Shengkun thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, and then he went down and arranged for someone to go back and deliver letters to Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng, telling them to leave for the capital.
Qi Huang reckoned that now that Sun Ziyun had just met King Qinghe, it would take some time before she could gain a firm foothold in the Qinghe Palace. Even if she wanted to deal with the Qi family, she would have to keep quiet for a while before she dared to expose herself. ambition.
He played with such a time gap. During this period of time, Liu Xiyu and Qi Feng were relatively safe. When Sun Ziyun gained a firm foothold and followed or coaxed King Qinghe to believe her words, the two of them also arrived Beijing is here.
On the other side, after Liu Xiyu received the letter from the capital, she immediately made plans to go to the capital.
After Qi Feng got the news, he immediately went to the main courtyard where Liu Xiyu was, and asked her why she was in a hurry to go to the capital now.
"Didn't Father and Ah Wan say that they would come back after a while? They are going back to Jizhou City for the Chinese New Year this year. Why did they suddenly want us to go to the capital? Could it be that something happened there?"
Seeing that Qi Feng's pretty face was full of anxiety, Liu Xiyu touched her face and said with a smile.
"Feng'er, you are thinking too much. The news your father sent back said it was a good thing. This year, Ah Wan might be able to get an official position. If he really became an official, he would have to work in the capital. So this year We have to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year... "
After hearing Liu Xiyu's words, Qi Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, the expression on her face became much prettier than before, she patted her heart and said.
"I was really scared to death just now, I thought something happened to them."
Before leaving, neither Qi Shengkun nor Qi Wang disclosed that they were going to seek official positions. As Qi Shengkun's bedside person, Liu Xiyu knew a little bit about the rumors, but Qi Feng didn't know anything about it. She just thought that Her father brought Qi Wang to the capital to give a New Year's gift, but she never thought that she would be able to get an official position just by giving a New Year's gift. This was simply beyond her imagination.
"Ah Wan is only fifteen years old this year, even after the new year, he will only be sixteen years old, and a sixteen-year-old scholar is a one-in-a-million existence. Can Ah Wan really be an official?"
Although Qi Feng knew that her younger brother was an extremely intelligent existence, but that was the case, she did not dare to think that her younger brother could become an official at the age of sixteen...
She sat on the chair blankly, recalling the days when they fled not long ago, she just felt that everything was like a dream. When she experienced it at that time, she felt that everything was unforgettable, and she thought that she would never forget the sufferings she experienced in the first place, But not long after, Qi Feng found that he could not remember clearly.
Seeing that Qi Feng seemed to start to lose his mind, Liu Xiyu raised her hand and shook it in front of Qi Feng, and said with a smile.
"What is Feng'er thinking about? Go back and tell the servants to pack up the frequently used things. I'm afraid we'll be staying in the capital for a while this time, so don't leave anything behind."
Now Liu Xiyu is teaching Qi Feng to run the house, and now she no longer considers everything for Qi Feng like she used to, but let her daughter take over.
Fortunately, Qi Feng is a smart girl, she got started in a short time, and she did many things well.
"Mother, I see, my daughter is going now."
Speaking of which, Qi Feng bowed to Liu Xiyu, and quickly backed out. Liu Xiyu shook her head, and continued to pack things up.
The entire Qi mansion started to get busy again because the master was about to go out.
***
But it was said that Sun Ziyun fainted from the excitement, and was carried into the mansion by King Qinghe afterwards.
Because Sun Ziyun had been in a coma and did not wake up, King Qinghe called the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Sun Ziyun. After some diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physician told King Qinghe that Sun Ziyun passed out because of too much physical loss, and later because of too much emotional fluctuation. of.
"The girl is fine. I prescribe some nourishing decoction, take it three times a day, and the patient will recover within half a month at most."
King Qinghe nodded and signaled his servants to take the imperial physician down, while he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Sun Ziyun who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and lethargic.
King Qinghe never expected that the girl he couldn't find in Jizhou City before would appear in the capital, and the two met in such a dramatic way on the street. All the coincidences seemed to be artificially designed.
Sun Ziyun fell asleep with her eyes closed. After all, she had suffered a lot, and she was just a fourteen-year-old girl who hadn't fully grown up yet.
Her body looked very thin, and King Qinghe remembered that when he hugged Sun Ziyun earlier, she was as light as a feather, without any weight when he hugged her. At this moment, she was lying quietly on the bed, The quilt covered the shoulders, revealing the white and slender neck, which seemed to be cut off with only one hand.
King Qinghe slowly stretched out his hand, and finally landed on Sun Ziyun's face. He gently stroked Sun Ziyun's face, and the woman in front of him gradually merged with the blurred face in his memory.
Sun Ziyun, who fell into a deep sleep, was no longer as crazy as before, and her whole body exuded a soft and gentle temperament. This kind of her made King Qinghe think that she was the young woman who had rescued him outside Yuzhou City.
King Qinghe originally said that he was going to Lingfu Temple to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince, but who would have thought that not long after he left, he would bring back a woman in his arms.
After that, King Qinghe called the imperial physician to treat the woman with great fanfare, but after the imperial physician left, King Qinghe still did not leave, and still stayed in the room with the woman.
The servants speculated about the woman's identity, and felt that King Qinghe's attitude towards her was really different.
You must know that King Qinghe is already twenty years old this year, and there have never been rumors of him getting close to any woman before, and there is not even a maid who warms the bed in the mansion. Some, I'm afraid others will have to guess whether King Qinghe has the habit of Longyang.
Prince Qinghe kept himself clean, and he had never been so close to any woman before. None of the servants in the mansion knew that their prince cared about his reputation the most.
As a result, King Qinghe has brought back a woman, not to mention that he has not even come out of that woman's room, and seeing how nervous she was just now, that woman is really unusual for King Qinghe, and the servants have speculated stand up.
"I don't know what the origin of that girl is, how can the prince be so interested?"
"Yes, and didn't the prince say today that he would go to Lingfu Temple to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince? Why did you come back now?"
"Did the prince really care about that woman so much? He even forgot to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince?"
The servants talked a lot, but they couldn't tell what was going on.
"But didn't you see it just now? The woman's clothes are thin, and she is wearing a thin white dress in winter. Looking at her dress, she looks very much like the group of girls who 'sold their bodies to bury their father' on the side of the East Street."
I don't know who said such a thing, the rest of the servants immediately shut their mouths, and didn't continue to talk about this topic.
The so-called 'selling one's body to bury one's father' is just a way for those girls to get ahead. For the sake of their reputation, they just pulled a fig leaf for themselves. In fact, their identities are only higher than those girls in Hualou Just a few.
Could it be possible that the young girl brought back by King Qinghe also belonged to those girls who wanted to climb high
These servants in the mansion are still very measured, knowing what to say and what not to say, when it comes to these secret matters, the big guys immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to say anything nonsense on this matter.
However, although he didn't say it, the news spread in the mansion after all. The servants of the whole Qinghe Palace basically knew about the fact that King Qinghe brought back a prostitution girl.
Sun Ziyun fell into a coma for more than two hours. After a long time, she finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Sun Ziyun saw an extremely familiar face.
That face was engraved in Sun Ziyun's soul, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. She opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but what she said was like a kitten humming.
King Qinghe approached Sun Ziyun, and gently wiped off the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. He looked at him with such gentle eyes, as if he was the one he truly loved.
Seeing King Qinghe like this, Sun Ziyun suddenly remembered the events of her previous life - at that time, she had no right to be close to King Qinghe. If King Qinghe was with Qi Feng, she could only stand far away and look at Qinghe. Wang Shi took care of Qi Feng meticulously.
She had fantasized countless times that if she could replace Qi Feng, she would be the happiest person in the world, but now that her dream has become a reality, King Qinghe really takes care of herself like Qi Feng. Now Qinghe Wang didn't know Qi Feng yet, and he didn't know who Qi Feng was at all. He obviously regarded himself as his lover.
Tears flowed down the eye sockets unconsciously, and Sun Ziyun shed tears silently. These were tears of joy and tears of happiness, because at this moment, she had successfully replaced Qi Feng and became the only one in King Qinghe's heart. The presence.
She will be the future Princess Qinghe, she will not be as short-lived as Qi Feng, and will definitely go on with King Qinghe for a long time.
"Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the imperial doctor to come and treat you..."
Saying that, King Qinghe stood up and wanted to leave here, but when Sun Ziyun saw this, he quickly reached out and grabbed the hem of King Qinghe's clothes. Obviously her strength was so weak, but the careful and gentle King Qinghe noticed her With a small movement, the other party stopped abruptly, turned his head, and looked at Sun Ziyun more tenderly.
"I'm fine, thank you son..."
Sun Ziyun spoke weakly, but he still didn't let go of the hem of King Qinghe's clothes.
God knows how much she wanted to get close to King Qinghe so openly, and now her dream has finally come true.
"What's wrong with me?"
As Sun Ziyun said, she accidentally moved her left hand, and a piercing pain came from her left hand, instantly shattering all the charming thoughts in her head.
When she remembered, her hand seemed to be broken...
