"Han'er, Han'er, what's wrong with you? Let my son go, let him go quickly, ah—"
Concubine Yi rushed forward and tried to rescue the third prince from the guards, but was pushed away and fell to the ground.
The third prince looked at his mother with tears on his face, but he stopped struggling at this moment.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I've disappointed you. I'll be demoted to a commoner in the future. Please don't be sad for me. You must live well. I'm unfilial and I won't be able to accompany you in the future. Mother, don't plead for me. Just take care of yourself!"
"No, Han'er, how can mother live without you, Han'er!"
Concubine Yi fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but she could only watch the carriage carrying the Third Prince go away.
He was immediately escorted back to Beijing, which showed that Ning Chen was extremely disappointed with his son and didn't want to see him anymore.
Because of excessive grief, Concubine Yi fainted without even being able to catch her breath.
There was another commotion outside the tent, and Concubine Yi was carried back to her residence.
At that time, the Fourth Prince and Ning Chen were both treating their wounds.
Ning Chen's arm was scratched, and the Fourth Prince's arm was hit hard when he was pushed by the Third Prince. I'm afraid he will need to recuperate for another month or two.
The eldest and second princes who rushed over after hearing the noise didn't know what had happened, but considering that the third prince had been demoted and imprisoned, they guessed something.
So they just stood there quietly and didn't dare to say much.
On the other side, Enhe Jin refused to surrender. Fortunately, several generals were there. Ye Zhe followed him despite his back injury. Huo Pingbei would naturally not fall behind. With Ao Qi taking the lead, the other three princes also came to lend a hand, and soon Enhe Jin and his group were captured.
He even found evidence of his dealings with the Liao Kingdom in Enhejin's hands.
This would be considered treason.
Ning Chen did not hesitate and sentenced him to immediate execution.
This time he was so angry that he even spared no female relatives.
It's funny to say, it wasn't long since Ulan Tuya was scheduled to become the third prince's concubine, but now there's no chance of her being together.
However, Ning Yuhan is no longer the third prince of Nanqi, so he doesn't need a concubine.
In this reckoning, more than a hundred people were killed. At the execution site, the originally green grass was dyed bright red, attracting wolves and vultures to circle and watch.
Ning Chen appointed a general to lead troops to occupy the fiefdom of Enhejin, and from then on there were only three princes in the Jasak.
This massacre is also Ning Chen’s warning to everyone.
He is the emperor of Nanqi. He can give you high official titles and generous salaries, but he can also wipe out everything with a wave of his hand.
With the previous experience of Enhejin, the other three Zasak princes no longer dared to have any disloyal thoughts.
When Ye Jun woke up, it was already noon on the third day.
If he doesn't wake up, something bad might happen again.
Ning Chen had already lost his temper with the imperial physician several times, and now no one in the entire camp dared to speak loudly.
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up. I was so scared that I almost died. If anything happened to you, I would not live anymore!" Nan Zhi cried while wiping her tears.
Huiyue also wiped her eyes and said, "Okay, you're awake. Don't say such unlucky words again. Go call the imperial physician, the emperor, and the fourth prince."
Seeing the two girls excited, Ye Jun was about to say something to comfort them, but he opened his mouth, but no sound came out, only a few hoarse syllables.
His eyes suddenly froze and he raised his hand to touch his neck.
She wouldn't have survived but been poisoned and made mute.
After coughing twice, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and frowned in discomfort.
"What's wrong, madam? Your throat is uncomfortable. Please drink some water first."
Huiyue said as she quickly poured a cup, helped Ye Jun up, and served her half a cup.
Even drinking water felt a bit painful.
Huiyue knew that she was upset, so her eyes turned red.
"Your Highness has suffered a lot. She has been in a coma for the past few days. I could only give her pills to hold in her mouth and feed her soup little by little with a spoon. Fortunately, your Highness woke up today. If she had been in a coma for a few more days, what would have happened?"
A normal person would die in a few days if he didn't eat or drink. Fortunately, someone took good care of her and found a way to feed her, otherwise she would have vomited the poison and died.
After drinking the water, Ye Jun felt a little better at throat and tried to speak.
"The Emperor... The Emperor, and... the son..."
Fortunately, he was able to speak, but his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly say anything. It hurt a lot when he exerted force, so he was probably seriously injured.
Fortunately, Huiyue guessed what she meant and said hurriedly, "The Emperor and the Fourth Prince will be here soon. A lot of things happened during the days when the Queen was unconscious. I will tell the Queen everything."
Ye Jun nodded, and Huiyue told him about how the third prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned, how Enhe Jin's family was exterminated, and how Concubine Yi fell ill.
Ye Jun had expected the Third Prince to act in this way, and that this day would definitely come. He was not surprised, but when he heard that the Fourth Prince's arm was seriously injured again and that Ning Chen was injured, he became a little worried.
So when the father and son arrived, Ye Jun pulled him over and examined him carefully.
Especially the palm-sized wound on Ning Chen's arm, which made Ye Jun look at it for a long time.
"Okay, Jing'er and I are fine. How do you feel? Are you still in pain?"
Ning Chen sat down beside the couch, his eyes full of worry and nervous joy of regaining a treasure.
Ye Jun wanted to speak, but opened his mouth and gave up. Instead, he raised his hands and pointed at his throat and stomach.
At this time, the imperial physician arrived. Ning Chen exempted him from the formalities and asked.
"The imperial concubine's throat and stomach are uncomfortable. What's going on? Is there any medicine that can make the imperial concubine feel better?"
Huiyue at the side added, "It seems that the queen is still unable to speak, her voice is very hoarse."
The imperial physician bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, this poison is very strong. Although it was vomited out in time, it burned the spleen and stomach. When the queen vomited it out, her throat was also injured. Therefore, she needs to be nursed back to health. The throat will probably be healed in more than half a month, but the stomach... I'm afraid it will take a year or so to heal."
Ye Jun was slightly relieved when he heard that he would not be unable to speak from then on.
She took Ning Chen's hand and wrote the word "rest assured" on his palm with her fingers.
Seeing his beloved woman being hurt like this, Ning Chen felt extremely guilty and could no longer control himself. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"It's all over, it's all over. This kind of thing will never happen again. We will set off for Beijing in three days. When we get back, you will live in Jiuchen Palace. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay by my side. If anyone dares to say anything bad, I will cut off his tongue!"
This time, Ning Chen had made up his mind and would not allow anyone to refuse him.
Feeling the man's hot temperature and heartbeat, Ye Jun, who had experienced life and death once again, was even more broken-down in her heart, and she also hugged Ning Chen tightly.
The Fourth Prince stood aside, his eyes wandering around, touching his nose, and then quickly retreating quietly.
The servants did not dare to disturb him and all withdrew.
Even the imperial physician was pulled out of the tent and asked to prescribe medicine outside.
