Xu Liang, who had already climbed up from the ground, came to the prince's side at some point. Hearing the screams of pain, he couldn't help but asked nervously, "Prince, please bear with me. I will give you medicine in a while, little one." It will hurt so much, and the redness and swelling will disappear quickly.”
"No! There's no need to take medicine. I'll just endure it all night. At daybreak, I'll go to the imperial grandmother's place and ask her to make the decision." The prince said with an aggrieved look. He had a feeling that Shen Ao would not die. , once Marquis Zhongcheng and Concubine Zhao interceded for him, he might be severely punished, but he might be fine. This was definitely not what he wanted to see, so he had no intention of complaining to his father. He wanted to expose the matter to the emperor. Go to grandma.
Once the imperial grandmother spoke, he would like to see who would be able to plead for mercy.
Yan Fu appeared and took Shen Ao away with his golden armored guards. The prince knew that his father didn't want to kill him yet. Otherwise, he could just leave this person to him. Why bother? Even his father If he still doesn't want to kill Shen Ao, then he can only force his father to do it. He is the prince and the future emperor. Someone wants to kill him openly. If he can survive after being caught and revealed, this is an insult to him. .
...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
It was just after midnight, and Emperor Qianwen did not rest. Instead, he sat back on the golden dragon chair, his right hand resting on his forehead, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Yan Fu entered the palace with a dusty look on his face that Emperor Qianwen slowly raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Fu stood upright respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhongguo has been imprisoned and he was not injured. The prince's left shoulder was injured, but the bones were not injured, it was just red and swollen on the surface. Zhongchenghou is still there In the Zhongguo Mansion, the palace physician has already gone, and the specific results will have to wait until later."
Yan Fu had been with Emperor Qianwen for such a long time, so he naturally knew what the other party wanted, so he told him one by one.
Hearing that neither the prince nor Shen Ao was injured, Emperor Qianwen's face relaxed obviously. No matter who was injured, it was a loss to him. Now it seems that the result is still good. But Soon he thought of another question, "What's that explosion? I don't think it will rain tonight."
As soon as he mentioned the explosion, a flash of panic flashed across Yan Fu's face. "Your Majesty, it wasn't thunder from the sky. I asked several people, and they all said..."
"What did you say?" Emperor Qianwen pressed.
"Say that this was done by Duke Zhongguo." Although he was very unwilling to accept this thing and did not believe it in his heart, even when the emperor asked, Yan Fu still told what he knew.
"What?" Emperor Qianwen was obviously startled. He was obviously shocked at this moment. The East Palace was not far from the imperial palace originally, and the explosion was at night. The loudness of the explosion was that he was in the imperial palace. Zhongya heard it very clearly.
It clearly looked like the thunder struck down by God in anger, so how could it be created by humans?
But since Yan Fu said this, I think he would not say it casually. There is a certain basis for it. But if this is really created by Shen Ao, it would be incredible. It is really beyond the reach of human beings. As if he thought of something again, Emperor Qianwen said in a different voice, "By the way, how powerful is the explosion?"
"Very powerful? Like a thunder from the sky, it exploded into a large crater about ten feet deep, and the surrounding area was also affected by a distance of about two or three feet. Just this thunder took away three people from the East Palace. The lives of the guards, and more than a dozen East Palace guards were injured to varying degrees." When Yan Fu said this, the scene when he saw the big pit was in his mind, and he shuddered involuntarily.
Emperor Qianwen was listening carefully, but the more he listened, the more fear appeared on his face.
Naturally, the abilities of the guards of the East Palace are not as powerful as that of the emperor, but their strength is pretty good. If you pick anyone out casually, they are all at the peak of Ming Jin, and some have even broken through to Dark Jin. It is not necessary to hurt them. Such an easy thing. But just one sky thunder easily took away three lives and injured more than ten people. Especially the big crater created by the explosion was about ten feet deep and two or three feet wide. This is a master of energy transformation. It is something that cannot be done. Even if the Grandmaster tries his best, he will not be able to cause such damage.
If such a thunder is really made by manpower, then owning this weapon is equivalent to having the full blow of many masters. If it is used on the enemy or on the battlefield, what will it bring? With such an effect, every single thunderbolt thrown from the sky would cause a loss of lives.
"Block the news. Anyone who saw the thunder tonight will be silenced. If anyone tells it, the three tribes will be punished. In addition, the news is released, saying that there was a lightning strike in front of the East Palace last night. Fortunately, there were stone lions. He protected it and blocked it, but the gate of the East Palace was also destroyed. It was rebuilt immediately and the deep pit was filled immediately. All this must be completed before dawn." As expected of Emperor Qian, Emperor Qianwen just thought for a moment and said, A series of countermeasures were quickly formulated to minimize the impact of this incident.
"No." Yan Fu wrote them down one by one and nodded in agreement.
"Also, the prince sent someone to comfort him. No one is allowed to contact Duke Zhongguo." Emperor Qianwen made another decision. Just because Shen Ao held the powerful thunder in his hand, this person He can't kill him. He has to find a way to support him, use him, and own his law.
"No." Yan Fu agreed again, and after seeing that the emperor had no intention, he left with a fly whisk in hand.
...
Zhongguogongfu.
Feng Xun and others have returned and are watching the doctor treating Marquis Zhongcheng in the hall.
Fortunately, Zhongcheng Hou himself has good martial arts and has always been in good health. After being injured, he no longer had any strenuous exercise, which slowed down the blood flow, so the amount of bleeding was not a lot, just early bleeding. Just a little more. After the doctor gave me the hemostatic medicine, I quickly settled down and fell into a deep sleep.
Marquis Zhongcheng fell asleep. Shen Xing, Feng Xun and others should not be disturbed. When they were about to leave, Tie Long walked into the hall with an anxious look. When he saw Feng Xun, he said with a hint of anxiety in his voice. , "Butler Shen, Guard Feng, things have gone wrong. The master went to the prince to reason with him, and even injured the prince's shoulder. Now the master and the captain of the guard Shi Lei have been arrested by the golden armor guards and imprisoned in the sky prison."
"What?" Shen Xing and Feng Xun were shocked when they heard that Shen Ao was taken into the prison and that their master had injured the prince. For them, this was nothing short of a disaster. Something like a collapse of the ground.
Everyone looked panicked. Who was the prince? How could he survive after being injured? What should they do?
When everyone was at a loss, no one noticed that Marquis Zhongcheng, who was resting on the bed, frowned, then slowly relaxed and relaxed.
"Let's go, don't disturb Marquis Zhongcheng's rest. Wait until dawn to send someone to send a message to Concubine Zhao in the palace. Now we can only expect Concubine Zhao to help with the conversation. We also have to go to Wangyou Mansion during the day and ask the eldest princess to come forward and help with the activities. Activities. We also need to prepare enough money. In order to save the young master, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it." Shen Xing is the oldest and a person who has seen the world. At this time, he arranged everything in an orderly manner.
At this time, we can see the scarcity of talents in the Zhongguo Palace. There are many guards, but in fact, there are only a few who can actually fight. As for those who come up with ideas, there are even fewer. The only one who is a dabbler is Shen Xing. Undoubtedly, he has become The backbone in everyone's eyes.
The night passed like this.
It didn't look any different from usual, and this wasn't a morning sunrise, but Emperor Qianwen, who could have slept a little longer, just squinted for a while and then washed up. He knew that he would face more pressure today.
Emperor Qianwen could attribute the thunderous explosion last night to thunder falling from the sky to stop everyone's curiosity. But he could not hide the fact that Shen Ao went to the East Palace to reason and hurt the prince.
The prince is different from ordinary people. If the so-called gag order is beneficial to the other party, he will listen and follow it. But if it is not beneficial to him, it is not so easy to talk to. Emperor Qianwen can't kill the prince's three clans. If so, how can it be done? Didn't you get yourself involved?
Emperor Qianwen believed that although today was not a great day, there would still be many ministers who would impeach the loyal Duke Shen Ao and punish him to death.
Thinking of what Shen Ao did, Emperor Qianwen had a headache. Even if you have a good relationship with Marquis Zhongcheng, you can't be so impulsive after the accident. You have to take revenge on your own. You also made a big killer like Tianlei. . Alas, he is still a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he just can’t keep his temper when things happen.
And the prince.
What are you doing to provoke Shen Ao? There is no limit to what your subordinates can do. You don't know the truth, so you have murderous intentions. No wonder they will take revenge on you. The prince is so unreasonable and has no broad mind. In the future, If you really become an emperor, can you manage the already precarious country of Daqian?
Sitting in the Yangxin Hall, waiting for Yan Fu to hand over the notes presented by the ministers, Dai Mubai, the commander-in-chief of the Emperor's Guard, appeared. He half-knelt in front of Emperor Qianwen and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Ask for punishment."
"You are guilty. When such a big thing happened, you Emperor Guards didn't tell me immediately and didn't stop you. Do you think that since you are my people, I won't dare to punish you?" Emperor Qianwen roared angrily. Said.
If the Tianzi Guard had reacted quickly, they could have stopped Shen Ao on the way to the Prince's Mansion. How could there have been so much trouble?
Listening to Emperor Qianwen's angry words, Dai Mubai lowered his head with a look of acceptance. In fact, when Shen Ao suddenly left the house yesterday, the people from the Emperor's Guard followed him. After all, They have a dedicated person who is responsible for keeping an eye on Shen Ao, not only to see what he does throughout the day, but also to protect him.
