"Stop everything for me!!" Seeing that the two of them accidentally injured innocent people, Emperor Tianxi was furious and shouted loudly.
"Little Tang Tang, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, woo woo, what can I do if you have something to do?" The fifth princess struggled to get up, and while crying, she reached out her hand to help Tang Jun, who was on the ground. Yao, but her hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't help him up after thrashing for a while. Instead, she was brought down and fell to the ground again.
"Someone!" Emperor Tianxi shouted loudly, and immediately a servant rushed in to help them up.
The Crown Prince and King Xiang were also held back by Emperor Tianxi's orders. Both of them were covered in paint, their noses were blue and their faces were so swollen that they could hardly see their original appearance, but they were still staring at each other with fiery eyes. Arrows usually 'swish, swish' and shoot straight at each other, wishing to tie each other into a hedgehog.
"Nizi!" Emperor Tianxi strode over and slapped the two of them heavily, until they turned their faces away, and their faces were swollen again in an instant. dare not say a word. The prince even lowered his head, not daring to face the angry face of his father.
"Tang Tang, what's the matter with you? Get an imperial physician!" The pale queen trembled and wanted to see Tang Junyao's injuries, but she was afraid of hurting her, so she hurriedly asked for an imperial physician.
The fifth princess was crying and complaining: "What are you doing out here! It looks like a bean sprout and can be knocked over by a gust of wind. My body is stronger than you, and I'll be fine after two hits. Who wants you to come out and be brave! Where are you? Let me see..."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to touch Tang Yunyao's body here and there.
Tang Junyao received the heavy punch, her blood was tumbling, almost a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she felt as if her bones were about to be broken apart.
Hazy, she seemed to see Yan Wu's figure appear in front of her eyes, and then she heard her softly asking herself, "Yaoyao, have you returned to your parents?"
She nodded vaguely, and the next moment, she saw Yan Wu showing a relieved smile, and muttered: "That's good, that's good, I'm relieved..."
While speaking, the body gradually became transparent until it disappeared completely.
Ah Wu! She wanted to stop her, but at this time the imperial doctor had hurried over, and the fifth princess directly dragged the nearly sixty-year-old doctor to her side.
"Quick, quick, show her, she was hit hard on the back just now."
Ah Wu, Ah Wu! Tang Junyao woke up, thinking of the scene just now, he had a bad premonition, and called Yan Wu's name over and over again in his heart.
"Does the girl feel pain?" The old doctor tapped around the injured spot on her back. Seeing that she didn't respond at all, she couldn't help asking.
Tang Junyao remembered Yan Wu, who suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, and did not hear what he said, but the fifth princess was anxious: "How can it not hurt? Such a heavy punch, you lightly, don't press it indiscriminately, She's going to hurt!"
The old doctor was helpless. This girl doesn't look like it hurts!
The queen noticed the difference at this time, and asked worriedly: "Tang Tang, do you feel pain in your body?"
After getting no response from Yan Wu for a long time, Tang Yunyao was anxious, but she still managed to suppress the panic that had no reason in her heart, shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"How come it doesn't hurt? I look at you and your face turns white." The fifth princess didn't believe it.
The old doctor grasped the strength and pressed on the spot where she was injured. Seeing that she did not show a painful expression, she thought about it and said, "Also ask Her Royal Highness to check on Miss Tang's back for bruises."
Tang Junyao finally reacted.
its not right! Just now, she felt the pain and almost fainted, but now she doesn't feel at all, as if she hadn't received the punch at all.
When the fifth princess took off her clothes and looked at the place where she was hit, she was stunned.
Don't talk about bruises or anything, this is white and clean, and there is no trace of being hit hard at all.
Reluctantly, she stretched out her hand on the back and pressed it here and there, and asked, "Does Tang Tang hurt? If it hurts, don't bear it."
Tang Junyao pulled her hand down and put on her clothes: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, you don't have to worry."
Although there was no reluctance on her face, the Fifth Princess still didn't believe it very much: "How could it not hurt, you see, even the longevity lock on your body has been cracked, you can imagine that How painful a punch would be on the body."
Tang Junyao was stunned, looked down and saw that the fifth princess was holding the longevity lock that she had been wearing all the time, and at this moment, a crack appeared in the longevity lock.
She turned pale in shock, took the longevity lock, and looked back and forth in disbelief, and saw that there was indeed a crack visible to the naked eye.
how can that be? She just punched in the back, how could she crack the longevity lock hanging on her chest
She suddenly thought of Fang Cai Yanwu's appearance, and then thought of her safe and sound now, her face turned pale.
Did A Wu suffer the damage from that heavy punch instead of herself? She still remembered the sharp pain at the moment when her body was hit, but after the pain passed, she was fine.
"Little Tangtang, what's wrong with you? But do you feel uncomfortable?" The fifth princess asked worriedly when she saw her pretty face turning pale and her expression a bit dull.
"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Junyao reluctantly replied with a stiff smile.
The fifth princess was still not at ease, forcing the imperial doctor to examine her pulse again before giving up.
The voice of Emperor Tianxi scolding the second son came from the outside, and the queen, who had been distracted because she was worried about Tang Yunyao's injury, swayed, tears glistening in her eyes.
The fifth princess's heart tightened, listening to Emperor Tianxi's angry reprimand outside, and thinking of the ruthlessness of the two imperial brothers who just wanted to kill each other, her eyes turned red again, and she choked out: "Mother..."
"It's okay, there is nothing to worry about with your mother and father here. Tang Tang was injured just now, you accompany her back to rest." The queen lovingly wiped away the tears on her face and said softly.
What the fifth princess said was refusal: "I won't leave, I want to stay with you."
"Be obedient, don't worry the queen mother." The queen's voice sounded a little hoarse, but the expression on her face was still gentle, and she stroked the hair of the fifth princess that fell down her cheeks.
Tang Junyao also knew that she was not suitable to stay at this time, so she gently pulled on the cuff of the fifth princess and made a weak look: "I suddenly feel a little dizzy and want to go back and lie down for a while."
"Look, Tang Tang is not feeling well, you should take her back first!" The queen didn't know if she was pretending, so she just followed her words to persuade her daughter.
The fifth princess finally responded with a whimper, helped Tang Yunyao, who was pretending to be weak, and walked out of Fengzao Palace with three steps.
In the hall, Emperor Tianxi sat high on the throne, his face was ashen, and the anger brewing in his eyes did not dissipate much.
He glanced at the pale-faced Crown Prince and King Xiang who were kneeling on the ground, and said with a hatred of iron as steel: "I never imagined that your two brothers were so stupid, that you were so ignorant of being provoked by others, and that you did such flesh-and-blood acts today. Mutual cannibalism, teach relatives to suffer, and enemies to be quick!"
"You accuse each other of never believing in yourself, and hate each other for never treating yourself as a brother, but you have been accusing each other of each other, have you personally asked each other for the answer, have you listened to each other calmly explain?!"
"No, you never did! You all rely on conjectures, you have already condemned each other in your heart before you can ask them in person, and you have never discerned the provocation of others, so the brotherhood has become weaker and weaker, and you resent each other, and finally go to this day. At this level!"
The two children in front of him are what he values most, and he has high hopes for them. Especially the eldest son, he cultivated with great care and hoped that he would be able to take over the burden on his own in the future.
But now... He couldn't believe that the eldest son, who had high hopes for him, would one day face him with a sword.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have named you a prince too soon." His eyes were a little wet, and suddenly he didn't want to reprimand again, and he sighed long.
"Royal father..." The prince recalled the past, his face was as pale as paper, and finally fell to the ground.
King Xiang twitched his lips and seemed to want to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word.
So, is everything because he misunderstood
The queen looked at the three father and son in the hall through the screen, and burst into tears.
Whose fault is it that the closest relatives have come to the point where they are today
—
The moment he walked out of the palace gate of Fengzao Palace, Tang Junyao sighed inaudibly when he saw the guards kneeling all over the ground in front of the gate.
I don't know whether to say that the prince is stupid or just jumping off the wall and having to do it. Whether Emperor Tianxi is in control of the court, or his prestige among the people, how can he be shaken by a prince!
Although the courtiers also have their own selfish interests, all of them surrender to Ying Mingzi on the dragon chair. In the Tianxi Dynasty, the people's life was getting better day by day, and naturally they were grateful to the one on the dragon chair.
Who gave the prince the courage to do such a self-defeating thing!
As soon as the two returned to the fifth princess's palace, they heard that the young masters and girls from various prefectures who had been driven to Minghua Palace by the guards, plus the noble ladies who were trapped in the side hall of Fengzao Palace, had all regained their freedom.
Tang Junyao felt that the prince's "forcing the palace", it is estimated that only the guards who besieged the "hostages" really obeyed his orders. She was also glad that Ruan Shi didn't come to the palace today, otherwise she might have been frightened!
She lowered her head and stroked the broken longevity lock in her hand back and forth, calling Yan Wu's name over and over again, hoping that she would give herself a little response. But time passed little by little, and Yan Wu never appeared again, and did not respond to her half a word.
She barely suppressed the panic in her heart, trying to recall the scene when she was hit by the prince.
She remembered that she was hit on the back of her vest, and she still remembers the pain at that moment clearly. It was also when she was so dizzy with pain that Yan Wu suddenly appeared and asked herself something...
By the way, she asked herself a sentence, what is it? What's going on? When she was in a hurry, she felt that her mind was blank, and she couldn't remember anything.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down again and again.
At that time, Yan Wu suddenly appeared, looked at herself and asked a question. she asked—
"Yaoyao, have you returned to your parents?"
Did you go back to your parents? Her eyes widened suddenly. Are you back with your parents? Yan Wu has been following him, how could he ask such a question
And, later, she said something—
"That's fine, that's fine, I'm relieved..."
not worried? What does she worry about? Why did she feel relieved when she knew that she was back with her parents
Tang Junyao suddenly felt a burst of pain in his head, and his face turned a little pale without noticing it.
Ah Wu... No, that's not her Ah Wu! Her A Wu is not like that! At that time, the look on Yan Wu's face when she asked her what to say, and the relieved smile after she said the last sentence were not what her stupid A-Wu would have.
However, if she is not A Wu, who is she
She just remembered that since the last time she told Yan Wu about the matter of King Yu, Yan Wu appeared less and less often, and sometimes didn't show up for a whole day, but it was a pity that her mind was full at that time. Put it on He Shaoting, and didn't pay attention to other things.
The fifth princess noticed her strangeness and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong with you, Xiao Tangtang? Do you feel uncomfortable? I'll ask for a doctor right away!"
"Don't go, don't, don't need an imperial doctor, I'll rest for a while, really, I'm fine." Tang Junyao grabbed her and smiled reluctantly at her.
Seeing her insistence, the fifth princess only sat back beside her worriedly, and sat with her for a while uneasy, and she was relieved to see that the pain on her face disappeared little by little. .
Just the next moment, he asked in a low voice: "Little Tangtang, what do you think happened to the royal brothers? They are both children of their mothers and queens. Why can't they love each other like ordinary brothers?"
"Like ordinary people's brothers? You are wrong. Ordinary people's brothers are not immune to all kinds of competitions, so how can they be completely quiet. Don't think too much, everything has your Majesty!" Tang Junyao remembered Yan Wu, After casually comforting a few words, he asked again, "Since the ladies of each palace and the young masters and girls are all right, can I go back now? My parents must also know what happened in the palace by now, I'm afraid will be worried.”
Although the fifth princess was reluctant, she also knew that if her family knew that such a big event happened in the palace, they would definitely be worried about her in the palace, so she ordered Gong E to go to inquire about the situation, and learned that the trapped wife and The young masters and girls have already left the palace and returned to the mansion one after another, and they have also sent Tang Yunyao out in person.
In Prince Yu's mansion, Prince Yu stared blankly at the two paintings hanging on the wall. Each of the two paintings depicts a young woman. The newer one was painted by him based on the memory of that night, while the slightly worn one was found in the painting workshop by his servants.
The women in the two paintings look quite similar at first glance, but a closer look reveals the differences. The woman in the dilapidated painting, the tenderness between the eyebrows seems to seep through the painting, and the beautiful face contains a kind of love and gentleness that belongs to a mother.
In the newer painting, although the woman also has a quite similar face, her expression is pure and unskilled, which belongs to a girl in a boudoir.
His brows furrowed more and more tightly. He had nothing to do these days, so he stared at the two paintings, unable to believe that the woman he painted just based on his imagination and memory was so similar to the woman painted by another artist.
Is this just a coincidence? Who is this woman in the picture? Judging from the age of the scroll, the painting is at least twenty years old. If the woman in the painting is still alive, her children and children must have grown up.
"His Royal Highness, the big thing is bad, something happened in the palace!" Suddenly, a servant hurried in to report, and he also woke up who was thinking about the answer.
When he got the news and hurried into the palace, he met Tang Junyao who was being picked up by his brother at the palace gate.
Because he was anxious, he didn't even have time to ask what happened in Tang Junyao's palace.
On the way back to the mansion, Tang Junyao omitted the fact that he was accidentally injured by the prince, and briefly told Tang Huaizhou what happened in the palace. Sigh!"
Tang Junyao absentmindedly said 'um', and as soon as the carriage stopped, she hurriedly ran to her house, seeing Tang Huaizhou behind her bewildered.
"Why is this girl running so fast?"
Tang Junyao returned to the house, hurriedly turned the boxes and turned the cabinets, and found the various talismans he had bought from Sai Shenxian earlier.
"This is for children's night cry, this is for repelling snakes, insects and ants, this is... Yes, this is a good luck charm." She trembled and took a pitch-black sandalwood brocade box, and first put the broken longevity lock away. Go in, and then put the two talismans 'Zhi Xiaoer Yeti' and 'Wish the journey is smooth' as well, and I kept muttering 'Awu' in my heart.
I don't know how long it took, a familiar breath came out from the brocade box that she was holding tightly in her arms, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly called 'Awu' again, but Yan Wu did not appear, nor did she Respond to her aloud.
Still, she was slightly relieved.
She guessed that Yan Wuxu was injured instead of herself, but she still returned to the longevity lock, but her body was too weak to respond to herself.
However, it seems that the talisman she bought from Sai Shenxian was really useful.
However, in the next few days, although she could still feel Yan Wu's existence, she still failed to get a half-point response from the other party.
She could only let people go to find Immortal Na Sai, while keeping an eye on the movements of the East Palace.
After the crown prince was abolished, the people of the East Palace naturally did not enter the harem to re-assign errands. At this time in her last life, Fangyi died under the Tuyi knife in order to save her. In this life, she would like to see how she will die.
At the same time, Emperor Tianxi also decreed to abolish the eldest son, Zhao Yuande, as the crown prince, and imprisoned him, his wife, concubines and children in Xiliu Hutong. All the people involved in the 'forcing the palace' were imprisoned for further treatment.
The bustling and bustling East Palace of the Prince in the past is now in chaos. Xu Wanjing, the former prince concubine and now the eldest prince concubine Xu Wanjing, with a pale face, tightly hugged her crying son in her arms, under the escort of the Royal Forest Army. Step by step out of the main hall.
Stepping down the last stone steps, she saw Peng Yuqi, who was also in a state of embarrassment. Peng Yuqi also saw her, and when their eyes met, countless complicated feelings flooded into their hearts, and then they looked away in unison.
The palace maid Xu Tingruo, who had been promoted to serve the prince not long ago, was dragged out of the house by the guards forcefully, her face full of fear and unwillingness.
How can this be so? How can this be so? How could the prince be suddenly deposed? Obviously she has gradually entered his eyes, and she is only one step away from becoming his person.
Fang Yi, who was described as emaciated, was also driven out of the house by the guards. Like other palace maids, she was driven to the open space in front of the main hall, waiting for the palace to make new arrangements for them.
She lowered her eyes, her hands tightly clasped in her sleeves. Ever since she learned that the idiot of the Crown Prince actually took the step of "forcing the palace", she knew that this day would come sooner or later, and that her arrangement for many years had also been in vain.
Fortunately, she always remembered to leave a way out for herself.
—
He Shaoting took the water bag and poured a few saliva, and then he felt that the dryness in his throat was eased.
The same goes for Du Chengzhong, who is sitting on the ground with him.
Du Chengzhong wiped the water stains at the corner of his mouth, looking at the young man opposite, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been young, and the ancients have never deceived me. General He really impressed me."
He Shaoting said indifferently, "General Du is overrated."
After spending these days with him, Du Chengzhong also knew his taciturn temperament and didn't care, and the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed.
"If Inuzi can have the ability of General He in the future, I will be relieved."
He Shaoting looked up at him, not missing the undisguised joy on his face when he mentioned his son.
Of course he didn't think the son he mentioned would be that Feng Weiliang.
Sure enough, as if he wanted to find some topics to break the silence, Du Chengzhong always subconsciously mentioned his little son who was so lively and almost naughty. smile.
He Shaoting lowered his eyes and did not interrupt him.
"...Such a small group still wants to get a big sword. It's really daring." Du Chengzhong sighed with a smile, but he also noticed He Shaoting's silence, and changed the subject with a feign cough, "General He cherishes this jade unicorn so much. , it must be a gift from someone important, right?"
He Shaoting, who was wiping the jade unicorn in his hand, stopped working, thinking of the cute but somewhat shrunken little girl Yuxue who gave him the jade unicorn, his eyes softened a little, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and replied: " Yes."
Du Chengzhong smiled again and asked, "Has General He arranged a marriage?"
"Never."
"I have a daughter who will be fifteen in a few months. If General He doesn't dislike it..."
"It's getting late, it's time to leave." He Shaoting suddenly got up and interrupted him.
Du Chengzhong didn't think too much, it was time to hurry after resting for so long, so as not to delay the business.
He Shaoting turned on his horse in silence, his legs were tucked into the horse's stomach, and the steed galloped away.
relatives? He never had the idea of marrying, as long as the frontiers were pacified, the world returned to Daqi, and the long-cherished wish for His Majesty was fulfilled, he would disarm and return to the field, and find a quiet place to spend the rest of his life.
Because he knew that whatever he wanted to hold on tightly would eventually leave him one by one.
For example, his grandmother, mother, aunt Tian, aunt.
