To Be A Virtuous Wife

Chapter 21: (5)

Views:

Rain, he was half leaning in the carriage, listening to the sound of the rain outside, with a pale face, he opened the curtain and looked at the city gate in front of him, revealing a faint smile.

When the carriage approached, he saw the eldest brother and the second brother riding on the horses, followed by some officials who received them. He signaled the carriage to stop and was about to get off the carriage.

"The fourth brother is injured, so don't have to." He Heng hit the horse and stopped He Ming with a smile. He got off the horse and clasped his fists, saying, "The fourth brother has suffered this time."

"Second brother is serious, but it's just that he was entrusted by the father, and I feel very guilty." Even so, He Ming still paid a salute on the carriage, with a bit of guilt on his face, "It also makes the father worry, It is even more unfilial to be a son-in-law.”

"You are serious about doing business, but you are just cruel, what does it have to do with you?" He Heng said with a smile, "My father and the second brother have specially ordered me and the second brother to take you back to the palace, and the fourth brother can relax."

"Brother Lao and second brother." He Ming bowed to He Qi and He Heng before sitting upright in the carriage. The guards who drove the carriage carefully pulled the curtains and waited for King Ning and King Duan to go first.

He Heng turned on his horse and turned to He Qi, who had been on the horse. He looked at the carriage behind him and said to He Qi, "Brother, let's go."

"Well" He Qi nodded, and then seemed to be concerned and said with emotion, "The fourth brother has lost a lot of weight, and he must have suffered a lot on the road."

He Heng replied with a smile, and then said, "After a few days, it will be the Spring Festival, and when the Spring Festival is over, it will be a great day for the fourth brother. At that time, we brothers can be lively and lively."

"Naturally it will be very lively," He Qi smiled heartily and stopped talking to He Heng.

After He Ming entered the palace to meet Emperor Qingde, he was rewarded with some medicinal materials and left the Tianqi Palace, but when he went to see his mother concubine An Guiconcubine, Zhao Anguiconcubine shed a lot of tears.

After listening to the concubine talking about what happened in the capital these days, He Ming said with a smile: "Concubine don't have to worry, it's a good thing, at least the sons can close the house on the grounds of recuperating and not participate in their affairs. middle."

After hearing this, Concubine An Gui suddenly changed her face, "Morning, could it be you..."

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, He Mingcai lowered his voice and said, "Those assassins don't seem to have any intention of hurting Erchen, but instead they killed Wei Youcheng. Erchen's injury looks thrilling, but it doesn't really hurt the vital point, so mother and concubine don't need to worry too much."

Concubine An Gui wiped her tears and said bitterly: "He Yuan and He Qi are really deceiving people too much. They are fighting for the storage position, why should I involve my son!"

"They live alone, and the other is favored by the father and emperor, so naturally they won't put others in their eyes," He Ming smiled bitterly, "Mother and concubine don't need to be angry about these things."

Concubine An Gui reluctantly suppressed the anger in her heart. She has never been favored. In the first few years after giving birth, Concubine Shu Gui always embarrassed her. If it wasn't for the Queen's concubine's fairness, I'm afraid life would be more difficult. She sighed. : "It's the concubine who has no ability. If the concubine is favored, you don't have to be treated so coldly." She suddenly thought of Concubine Jing. Although Concubine Jing was not as favored as Concubine Shu, she still had some status in the emperor's heart. , her son He Heng is second only to He Yuan in favor. Although she has never gotten along with him, she must be a very capable person.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and said: "Although He Heng is unpredictable, but the concubine sees that this person is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person. You come and go a few times on weekdays, but you can be regarded as a brother and brother."

He Ming knew the meaning of the concubine's words, he pondered for a while and said, "Concubine Mum doesn't have to worry too much, my son will consider this matter." He Yuan and He Qi were both on the throne, and for him, the days to come might be feared. will be more difficult. If He Heng succeeded to the throne, even if the other party was only a sanctimonious person, he would not treat his brother who was not a threat slowly, but would treat him favorably in order to show his brotherly respect.

Although He Ming didn't want to fight, he didn't want to be a blade that others would throw away after using it. He might as well choose a bright master and plan for the rest of his life.

"He Heng's first wife, the Qu family, has a very deep relationship with the Luo family. After you left the capital, the Qu family sent someone to send things to me. Concubine Jing also took good care of me," An Guiconcubine was a concubine. A woman who is content with plainness, but does not allow others to harm her children, "No matter what idea they make, at least eating is much better than the other two."

He Ming knew clearly in his heart that He Yuan and He Qi had never looked down on themselves, but the second brother had a relationship with him when they were young. Although they have faded a lot over the years, they treated him better than the other two. He was close to a lot, and he also remembered this favor in his heart.

He walked out of the palace in the carriage authorized by his father, and got on the carriage back to the palace. Soon after he returned to the palace, He Ming received gifts from various families. Even the eldest brother and the three brought something over. Some look at expensive but impractical things, at least with a two-point attitude.

However, the things sent from the second brother's house were read by the doctor in the house and said that they were all tonics that were good for his body, which made He Ming feel the second brother's concern.

Recalling that when he was in Tianqi Palace, his father hinted that he wanted others to believe that the assassination incident had nothing to do with the third brother, and the smile on He Ming's face became a little colder. Since his father told him to express, he would not disappoint his father. Believe it or not, it depends on the abilities of the father and the third brother.

"Father is kind and son is filial?" He Ming tore apart the sandalwood beads that Emperor Qingde rewarded in his hand and threw them to the ground. Looking at the sandalwood beads jumping around, he sneered and said to himself, "What a joke."

On the first day of spring, the Gongyuan was full of carriages from previous lives, all of which were sent for examinations.

Liang Rong and Qu Wangzhi were sitting in the teahouse, looking at the students who were queuing up to take the exams at the Gongyuan Academy. Look, thinking that they will also enter the field in a few years, I feel a little pressure for some reason.

Especially Qu Wangzhi, who is going to take the exam this fall, feels a little breathless looking at the serious-looking candidates below.

"Cousin, this is nothing to see, let's go." Two or three hours after the test started, a few candidates with half-white hair were carried out. Qu Wangzhi's face became even more ugly, and he got up and left.

"There isn't a dignified concubine in the mansion of Lord Qu, why did you send your youngest daughter to be a concubine?"

"Who knows? I just heard that the youngest daughter was born from the successor's family. This successor is just from a poor family. Princess Duan was born by the original father-in-law and wife. Do you know who she is?"

"who is it?"

"Do you know that Tian Daren of Dali Temple is waiting for Xiangqing?"

"Who has never heard of this famous person? No matter how difficult the case is, as long as it is sent to Dali Temple, it will definitely get to the bottom of it."

"Isn't that right? Princess Duan's biological mother is the elder sister of Lord Xiangqing. Do you think this family teaches this birth to be the same? So it's not normal for one to be a princess and the other to be a concubine?"

When Qu Wangzhi heard this conversation, his face suddenly became ugly, and he was about to rush over to talk to the person neatly, but he was stopped by Liang Rong, "Wangzhi, this is the gate of Gongyuan, it's not good for you to make trouble. "

"But is it okay for them to talk like this?" Qu Wangzhi's anger was hard to dissipate, but he no longer insisted on jumping on it.

Liang Rong glanced around and said in a low voice, "Now they are just a flash in the pan, you must know that the most favored person in the dynasty was His Royal Highness Prince Rui, and his cousin entered Prince Rui's mansion as a concubine, and in the future she will be ..." He gave Qu Wangzhi a thumbs up, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Qu Wangzhi gritted his teeth and finally swallowed the breath. The two went down to the teahouse together, and after riding a horse for a while, they saw a luxurious motorcade approaching in front. It was even pulled by eight majestic horses, and the bells on the sandalwood carriage jingled as it moved forward.

The two reluctantly avoided, and when the carriage approached, they found that the logo of Duan Wangfu was printed on the carriage. Qu Wangzhi's face darkened, but he could only bow his head helplessly to show his respect for the palace.

When the carriages and horses of Prince Duan's mansion were far away, the two continued to move forward. Liang Rong said with some doubts, "This is the direction out of the city. Where are so many carriages and horses from Prince Duan's mansion?" Could it be that Duanwang's family is here? Going to the suburbs of Beijing to play at this juncture

"Who knows what these princes want to do?" Qu Wangzhi's tone was a little bad, he looked back at the direction in which Prince Duan's carriage was heading, and his tone paused, "I heard that Prince Duan has a Tangquan Villa on the outskirts of Beijing. The flowers bloomed early, so it must be to play."

After all, Qu Wangzhi was born in Gongye's Mansion, so he knew a little more than Liang Rong, so he still knew a thing or two about the important other villages in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Is it really going to play?" Wei Youcheng and Prince Cheng, who were stabbed at the moment, have both returned to Beijing, and Prince Ning and Prince Rui are fighting hotly in the arena. Did Prince Duan go on vacation so leisurely

Liang Rong felt that his brain was not enough. Shouldn't he go fishing in troubled waters at this time? What is it to avoid so far

The good show is about to start, and Duan Wang actually played this trick. How can this make the other adults in the capital feel so hot

In the carriage, Qu Qingju combed her hair in a simple bun, leaning on the soft pillow and said, "Your Highness really just left the capital like this?"

He Heng looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Didn't Qing Ju want to soak in the hot spring, this weather is just right."

Qu Qing Ju laughed, and turned to get into his arms: "Your Highness treats me so well."

He Heng heard this so fake, he smiled helplessly: "This is the first time, the capital will definitely be a pot of porridge over the fourth brother and the ranking of Chunwei, this king is not interested in these things, it is better to leave Even far away, you can get a clean one."

Qu Qing Ju looked at his smiling face, inexplicably felt that his face was full of black belly.

Che, when she hadn't heard the story of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole.

☆, 57 · Couple traveling together

The Tangquan Villa on the outskirts of Beijing was not far from the city. Qu Qing Ju looked at the plaque on the gate of the villa with the words "Fulang Villa" written on it, put down the curtain and said to He Heng, who was beside him, "This name is vulgar and elegant, but the meaning is Excellent."

"Well, this is the name given by the mother and concubine after the father and the emperor rewarded them a few years ago." He Heng tilted his head and smiled, "It takes a long way to reach our residence after entering the gate. Some crops. Some fruits and vegetables that are not in season can only be grown near Tangquan. Many fruits in our house are produced by this village."

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite. Although there is no plastic and no greenhouse vegetables, people can use the power of nature to grow out-of-season crops, and they are more natural than greenhouse vegetables.

"There are still some peach blossoms and pears on the mountain that are blooming just fine. After you have a good rest today, I will accompany you to walk around tomorrow." He Heng saw her expression of admiration, and his smile became more obvious, "Baiyun Mountain is very close to here, then we will Go and have a look at the five villages above."

The Five Village Views of Baiyun Mountain? Qu Qing Ju felt a little familiar, but then she thought that it must not be an important matter, otherwise she wouldn't just think it was familiar, so she stopped thinking about it, and occasionally lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

The roads are very neatly built, all bluestone paths, and tall trees are planted beside the roads. Behind the tree path on the left is a row of field ridges, which are planted with some wheat and various side dishes. There are fruit trees behind the tree path on the right. Although it doesn't look so symmetrical, Qu Qingju doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it's quite interesting to look at.

After the carriage had traveled for a while, it stopped, and Qu Qing Ju heard a voice from outside.

"The villain Zhang Hong pays respects to the lord, the princess."

Qu Qing Ju was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this Zhang Hong might be the chief steward of this Zhuangzi, that's why she received the two of them on the way.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be too polite, everything in Zhuangzi has been arranged?" Qian Changxin looked at Zhang Hong who was full of ingratiating smiles, "This is the first time Wang Fei has come to this Zhuangzi, and you have served well. Naturally there is a reward, and if something goes wrong, you will be punished by yourself."

"Mr. Qian, don't worry, the younger ones will take good care of you, and don't dare to slack off." Zhang Hong didn't expect the prince or the princess to take care of him, and with a smile he stepped aside with a few stewards behind him, "The mountain has already prepared Okay, the hot water food is not as good as the mansion, but it is better than wild game, and it is good for the prince and the princess to try it."

"You're still smart, since you're out of the palace, don't you just want to have some wild fun," Qian Changxin said in a low voice, giving Zhang Hong an admiring expression, before waving his hand to signal the team to move on.

Watching the team go away, the steward behind Zhang Hong said, "Director Zhang, what are we doing now?"

"What are you doing, don't hurry up and keep up, if the people below go wrong, we'll all have to walk away." Zhang Hong, contrary to the appearance he had just flattered, glared at the person who opened his mouth and strode towards the convoy. chased up.

The several stewards looked at each other in dismay. The lord did not come to Zhuangzi very often. How could they know the hobbies of the lord and princess, but seeing the anxious look of the manager, they had to run and follow.

When the carriage stopped, Qu Qing Ju saw the gate of Zhuangzi's main house. Although the house was not as grand as the palace, it had a different flavor and looked very delicate, especially the exquisite three-story building at the back. Ju couldn't help but take a second look.

"If you like Yuyun Tower, we will live in the building for a few days?" He Heng said with a smile, "Next to Yuyun Tower is the Tangchi Pavilion. There is a white jade soup pool inside, which is convenient for bathing in the spring."

Qu Qing Ju nodded, "Okay, the view from the rooftop is wider than that of the rooftop."

Hearing that the princess and the prince were going to live in the Yuyun Tower together, the people below moved everything in, and also lit incense copper beast heaters, etc., so that the masters could live happily and warmly.

Qu Qing Ju asked He Heng to accompany her to walk around the main house of Zhuangzi, and found that this Zhuangzi's carved balustrades and paintings were not one step exquisite, but rather a little bit of Jiangnan's architectural style. She even saw a steaming stream meandering through the village, presumably built with hot spring water.

In such a comparison, Qu Qing Ju felt that the hot spring villas that she had been in in her previous life, which were said to be enjoyed by emperors, were all weak. Seeing that the hot spring villas enjoyed by other people were like this, what kind of luxury should emperors enjoy

"This Zhuangzi is a little smaller, but it's better than being delicate. It's good to come and play occasionally." He Heng was not very interested in Zhuangzi's flowers and plants. He held Qu Qingju's hand and slowly walked towards the Yuyun Tower. Go, "I've only come here once or twice in the past few years, but I haven't taken a closer look."

"Then the lord is going to play with me for a few days this time," Qu Qing Ju said, knowing that he deliberately did not care about the affairs of the court, "It's just that you, lord, are far away from the court."

He Heng smiled, "It's alright, I don't have much to do these days, I'll come back to accompany you after the last court." Thinking of the things that had been arranged in the capital, the smile on his face faded a little, "More Besides, if I ride in a carriage, even if I get up early in the morning, I can sleep in the carriage for a while."

Qu Qing Ju laughed at him for being lazy, and He Heng pinched his cheeks. The two held hands and laughed all the way. The servants who came and went bowed their heads and knelt down, not daring to look directly at their faces.

After lunch, the two took a nap together for a while before getting up to go out for a walk. Qu Qing Ju sat in front of the mirror, watching Yupin skillfully tying her hair, she said, "You don't need to be too particular about the hairpin these days, and you don't need to hold your identity on either side."

Yu Hairpin nodded, picked out a hairpin for Qu Qingju, and chose a goose-yellow ru skirt to wait for her to put on. Qu Qingju tilted her head and looked at herself in the mirror, who was quite a girl in the south of the Yangtze River, and said with a smile: " The hand of the hosta is very clever." After saying that, he gave each of the four dowry maids a round hairpin inlaid with beads.

He Heng just finished dressing at this time. Seeing Qu Qingju's small and fresh appearance, he said, "Qingju really looks beautiful in everything she wears."

What is really? Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty is very handsome in whatever he wears." He Heng was wearing a moon-colored robe. Seeing that he had the capital to seduce women, she stepped forward and hooked his palm. "I can't take my eyes off it."

Shouldn't he tell her this? He Heng smiled helplessly, took her hand and said, "Let's go, it's rare that the rain has stopped today, let's go to the back mountain to see."

The entire mountain they were on belonged to He Heng, so Qu Qing Ju had the illusion of censoring her husband's property. She and He Heng sat side by side on the chariot, looking at the grass and trees on both sides, and when they reached the back mountain, they pointed to the small waterfall formed by the water flowing down the mountain stream in front, and some exclaimed: "The scenery here is actually the same as in the painting. similar."

The green mountains, green water, mist, and the faintly blooming pink peach blossoms in the woods make Qu Qingju a little emotional. No wonder the hero in the novel loves to look at the scenery to pursue beauty, because looking at the beautiful scenery really makes people feel physically and mentally happy, Rao Shiqu Qing Ju has been in the entertainment industry for many years, but she was also stunned by the scene in front of her.

However, Qu Qing Ju's happy mood did not last long because an accident happened.

"Your Highness!" The voice was so lingering and sad that it broke her heart. She looked back and saw Yun Qing wearing a dull cotton dress standing behind a rock not far away. Qu Qing Ju could even see Excited tears flowed down her face.

Could it be that the other village that Yun Qing sent to happened to be this village

He Heng did not expect that someone would dare to appear when he and the princess were enjoying the scenery. He frowned at Yun Qing, ignoring the tears on her face, and said solemnly: "Who asked her to come over, Didn't you tell people to guard this place and not let people come over?!"

A steward hurried over and knelt down in front of the two with a thud, "The villain Wang Dong pays respects to the lord and princess, and asks the master to forgive his sins, this is the villain's mischief, she just came to deliver meals to the villain, and somehow it is convenient It's because the villain is ineffective, I beg the master to spare Zhuojing." After speaking, he kowtowed.

Qu Qing Ju looked down at the man in the blue butler's uniform, who was a little chubby and had a pea-sized sweat on his forehead, as if he was worried about Yun Qing's appearance.

But Yun Qing couldn't care about the man who pleaded for her. She stepped forward and knelt in front of the two of them, sobbing: "My lord, the slave family finally sees you."

Qu Qing Ju felt that He Heng's face was a little ugly, but she didn't want to talk to a woman, so she had to say, "Presumptuous, how can you talk like this in front of the lord."

Yun Qing's face turned pale, she looked at Qu Qing Ju with a little fear, she was the one who sent herself out of the house, and even promised herself to a short and fat man, now that she is no longer a pure woman, how is your lord? Still look good

"The slave family lost sight of the prince and asked the princess to forgive me." Yun Qing kowtowed. Although he no longer spoke, he was still sobbing, his slender shoulders shaking slightly, and he looked very pitiful.

The chunky man who was originally interceding for her was stunned when he heard her words. He didn't seem to have thought that the woman he was protecting would say such... rash words, his face changed for a while, extremely embarrassing.

He Heng frowned impatiently, obviously very tired of such a thing happening, and impatiently tapped the left handrail with his left index finger.

"You are a married woman, so you should be more careful with your words." Seeing that the steward named Wang Dong seemed stunned, Qu Qingju said, "Steward Wang, take your wife down." I don't understand what Yun Qing was thinking. Since a man wants to send her away, he naturally expresses no interest in her.

Wang Dong kowtowed dumbly, pulled Yun Qing and left, ignoring that Yun Qing was staggered by him.

When the people were pulled so that they could no longer see the prince and princess, Wang Dong silently let go of Yun Qing's hand. Yun Qing dissatisfied with Wang Dong: "Go away, I don't need you to care."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a burning pain on her face. It was Wang Dong who hit her. Yun Qing opened her eyes in disbelief. How dare this cowardly and useless man dare to hit her? !

"Shameless!" When he said this, Wang Dong's fat face had no expression at all, and he did not have the tenderness and friendship of the past.

Yun Qing was stunned, seeing Wang Dong turning around and leaving without even looking at himself, his mind was at a loss for a while.

He Heng felt that his ears were clean, and after a long while he showed a satisfied smile, pointed to the other side and said: "There is a big spring there, bigger than the spring of Tangquan Pavilion, but the terrain is not good, so I built one. There is a large open-air hot spring pool, and when the weather is warmer, you can go to the mall to play."

Qu Qing Ju glanced in the direction where Yun Qing left, then nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go take a look."

If you expect something you can't get, then life is bound to be a tragedy.

☆、58 · Assassination

It is well known that King Cheng's arm was injured by an assassin. Although the wound has recovered, the imperial doctor said that it is likely to leave sequelae, and the pain will be unbearable in winter, so the imperial doctor came up with an idea to let King Cheng be fine. Go to the hot spring, which is good for the body and bones.

But He Ming didn't have many other villages, and he didn't have any hot springs. At this time, he happened to hear that the second brother went to the other villages to soak in the hot springs. As soon as he applauded, he personally posted a post, saying that he wanted to go to Fulang Mountain Villa to soak in the hot springs.

In the eyes of others, this move may be just a coincidence, but people with a heart can see it clearly. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng returned to Beijing for several days, and why did no one propose to go to the hot springs, but it was proposed right away

Doubt turns into suspicion. After all, King Cheng does not participate in the struggle for the throne, and he has never been very courageous. The people in the court don't care, and they focus their energy on the ranking of the spring and the assassination. As for the target of the assassination, because the emperor does not value it, Also ignored by them.

He Heng received He Ming's post at the gate of the palace. He Ming's words on the post were just like his people. He was well-mannered and upright. Although there was no romantic feeling, it would not make people offensive. He Heng handed the post to Ming He, "You go to Cheng Wang's mansion in person and say that this king, who is the elder brother, will definitely greet his younger brother by sweeping the couch."

Ming He nodded, turned around and rode on a horse, rushing in the direction of Prince Cheng's mansion.

He Heng looked at the direction Minghe was leaving, looked up at the sky, frowned and said, "The sky doesn't look very good. It's foggy so early, so let's go back to the villa earlier."

Qian Changxin stepped forward to cover the curtain of the carriage that He Heng was sitting in, and turned around to wink at the guard who was driving the carriage, motioning him to leave quickly.

The carriage kicked out of the city gate, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, even the sky looked gloomy, and there were gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time. Qian Changxin touched his arm and took a breath. The fall of the spring cold is also too severe, today is much colder than the previous days.

He looked forward cautiously, and suddenly saw the grass beside him moving, and immediately signaled the carriage to stop. The carriage had not stopped yet, so he turned over and stood in front of the carriage curtain, and said sharply, "Escort!"

This scream made the guards tremble in the foggy weather. As soon as they came to their senses, they saw nearly 20 sword-wielding men in the grass jumping out in sweat and slashing at the prince's carriage without saying a word. .

From time to time arrows flew out of the woods, but luckily there was an iron and copper interlayer on the inner wall of the carriage, and Qian Changxin pulled the door of the carriage in time, so that all the arrows fell outside the carriage, but one arrow still took advantage of Qian Changxin. The moment the door was closed, he quickly stabbed in.

"Hurry up and protect the prince," Qian Changxin took out the big knife on the back of the pulling carriage to prevent the assassins from rushing to the carriage.

The guards knew in their hearts that if something happened to the prince, they would not have to live anymore, so they had to grit their teeth and fight recklessly.

Because no one expected that someone would be so courageous to assassinate the prince on the avenue. The so-called He Heng did not have many guards, and over time, he gradually showed a disadvantage.

Commander Sun felt that he must have committed Tai Sui this year, but if he took the Imperial Guards to patrol the suburbs of Beijing at will, he could encounter an assassination incident. It was His Royal Highness Duan Wang who was assassinated. Come out, clean and let the people help you.

The Assassins did not expect that the Praetorian Guards, who had always only loved to patrol the city, would appear here. After being stunned for a while, they all evacuated, leaving only a few corpses killed by the guards.

"Wei Chen's rescue is late, may I ask if His Royal Highness Duan Wang is injured?" Seeing the assassins retreat, Commander Sun waved his hands to let his men continue to chase, and got off his horse and knelt on one knee in front of He Heng's carriage.

Qian Changxin also got out of the carriage and knelt in front of the carriage: "The incompetence of the little ones has surprised the lord."

The door in front of the carriage slowly opened, and He Heng walked out under the worried and frightened eyes of everyone, Qian Changxin looked at his blood-stained right sleeve, his legs were a little weak with fright: "Your Highness, you are injured. ?!"

When Commander Sun heard these words, the sweat on his forehead suddenly flowed down, and when he looked up, he saw that the sleeve of Duan Wang's left hand had been dyed red with blood, and he was holding a bloodshot arrow in his right hand.

"It's just a scratch, it didn't hurt the bones." After speaking, he handed the arrow to Qian Changxin, "This arrow was left by the assassin who injured this queen. I hope it will help Commander Sun."

Commander Sun took the arrow from Qian Changxin and found that it was just an ordinary arrow feather. The arrow was made of ordinary iron, and the feathers on the tail were nothing special.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the minister will definitely investigate this matter." After speaking, Commander Sun asked his subordinates to carry away the corpse on the ground, and picked up the broken sword, broken sword and scattered arrows on the ground, hoping to recover from these Find clues on things.

At this moment, Minghe just chased after him from the city, and found that the prince was assassinated and injured, so he had to turn around Matou and go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor.

After Commander Sun left, He Heng was given a simple wound treatment by the following people, and said to everyone: "Everyone present today is rewarded according to their merits, and this king is able to retire today, all thanks to everyone's credit."

The guards prayed and thanked them one after another, but their hearts were filled with enthusiasm. The lord did not punish them for the assassination and injury, but instead rewarded them. Finally, it was not a waste of their lives to fight this battle.

After He Heng got back into the carriage, he covered his wounds, and there was no panic or anger on his face after the assassination.

Climbing up from the Tangquan Pool, Qu Qingju put on a new dress, feeling a chill on her back for some reason, she lifted her feet and walked out of the inner room, and said to Mujin and the others who were guarding in the outer room, "Is your lord back to the village?"

"Returning to the princess, I haven't heard anyone reporting from below." Seeing that the princess' hair was still loose and dripping with water, Mu Jin took a cotton towel and wiped it for Qu Qingju. Seeing Huang Yang hurried in and seeing her wiping her hair, he hesitated before saying, "Princess, this servant heard that the lord was assassinated, and just returned to the village just now."

"Assassination?!" Qu Qing Ju raised her voice, stood up and said, "You follow me to see." After speaking, she hurried out the door.

Mujin was stunned for a moment, then threw the cotton towel aside, picked up a sandalwood comb, and followed. The princess' hair was still dripping with water at the moment, so she just let it go out so that the servants could see it.

Qu Qing Ju knew very well in his heart that a person like He Heng could not be easily hurt by others, but the road from the city gate to the villa was a great road. What kind of person had the courage and courage to choose this kind of Where to assassinate

"My lord, the princess is here." As soon as Qian Changxin's voice fell, He Heng saw Qu Qingju walking in from outside. He saw that she was wearing only a simple wide-sleeved aqua blue corset. It was even more casually scattered behind him, looking like he hadn't been wiped dry.

"How are you, my lord?" Qu Qing Ju walked up to He Heng and saw that he was sitting at the table. The light-colored robe he wore to go out in the morning had been replaced by a soft blue silk robe, and a white robe was still wrapped around his left arm. yarn.

"It's alright, sit down," he patted the seat next to him and motioned for Qu Qing Ju to sit down beside him.

After Qu Qing Ju sat down, her eyes stayed on his wound, but the white gauze covered the wound: "Okay, how come there are assassins, who is so bold?" After speaking, she frowned. Said, "How is the wound, can the imperial doctor be called?"

"I didn't hurt my bones, I was just scratched by an arrow," He Heng smiled, "The imperial doctor is about to arrive."

Just as he was talking, Ming He brought the imperial doctor in. When he saw the princess with her hair loose, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and saluted, "Prince, princess, the imperial hospital has been sentenced."

"Wei Chen has seen the prince and princess." The court of the Taiyuan Hospital was sentenced to over 500 years old, but he was very energetic. Seeing how close the prince and the princess were, he immediately understood that it was rumored that Duan Wang and his wife were in a good relationship. He originally thought it was just a rumor, but today it really happened.

"The court has requested that you look at the injury for this king, lest the princess be worried," He Heng stretched out his left arm and smiled lightly, "Don't take it seriously."

"Yes," the court judge carefully opened the white gauze that wrapped the wound, and saw that the wound on Duan Wang's wrist was very long, it really looked like an arrow scratch. Although he looked very inferior, he didn't hurt his muscles or bones. .

Qu Qing Ju took a breath of cold air and saw the imperial doctor skillfully handle the blood stains on the wound, and then started to use the wound medicine to wrap the wound.

"Your Highness, although your injury hasn't hurt your bones or muscles, it is quite large and needs some time to rest. In recent days, you can't touch the water." Remembering that Wangye's villa was mainly for bathing in hot springs, the court judge felt a little sympathetic to the other party. .

Why Duan Wang was assassinated and who instructed him was not important to him, the important thing was that he should not get involved. After the court judged everything, he got up and said goodbye.

Minghe sent him out in person, and offered him a lot of money for the consultation: "Sir, the court judge, do you think the prince's wound should be healed in peace for a few days?"

Quietly

The court judge pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Naturally, you should be quiet and cultivate for a few days. The prince is usually busy with his affairs, and I'm afraid that he will be free these days."

"I understand now, there is a labor court sentenced adults, adults please." Ming He bowed, and then smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Eunuch Ming, you don't have to be polite, you don't need to send it again, and leave." The court sentenced him to half a salute, and then he got on the mule cart and left the villa with a smile.

Minghe looked at the distant mule cart, and after laughing, turned around and returned to Yuyun Tower.

"Oh, I just came out with my hair on?" Qu Qing Ju suddenly stood up from the stool, she held the ends of her hair, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I'll go to the inner room first." She turned around and muttered, " What a shame."

He Heng couldn't help laughing when he remembered how talented she was just now.

In the inner room, Qu Qing Ju frowned slightly, there seemed to be something wrong with this matter.

However, the details determine success or failure. He was so anxious to care about He Heng with his dripping hair on. This kind of concern could be regarded as sincere

Thinking of the ferocious wound, Qu Qing Ju frowned, and then she thought, these assassins are really stupid, there is no poison on the arrows, goodbye wasted such a good opportunity.

☆、59·Saint Grace

After combing her hair again, Qu Qing Ju saw He Heng reading a book while sitting on the reclining chair, so she sat down beside him without hesitation: "My lord, do we have to tell mother about such a big thing? Concubine, let her know that you are not in serious trouble, lest the concubine be worried."

He Heng nodded: "It's still your thoughtful thinking." After speaking, he called Qian Changxin, took his waist card, and asked him to enter the palace to see Jing Guifei, to explain the truth of the matter, and to highlight his injuries. No problem.

Qian Changxin took orders and hurried out of the villa, not to mention it was getting late, even if the key was already placed in the palace, he had to find a way to enter the palace to spread the news.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate recognized that Qian Changxin was a eunuch by Duan Wang’s side, and let him go without asking. At this moment, the news of Duan Wang’s assassination had spread all over the capital, and they saw Qian Changxin’s hurrying appearance. Dare to stop

After entering the palace gate, Qian Changxin walked all the way to Zhongjing Palace. On the ground, he said, "Your Majesty's concubine, your Highness will send servants.
