Chapter 71 Suspicion
The next day, when Fenghuang came back to Biyu Pavilion, she found that the third lady was in a bad state. Her breath was heavy, and her little face was as hot as charcoal... "Oh, no, Tangyuan...she had a fever!"
I was in the rain last night, and because I didn’t drink a bowl of ginger soup in time to get rid of the cold, my daughter’s delicate body fell ill like this.
Phoenix regretted that she shouldn't have locked her in the house.
"Duyuan, glutinous rice balls..." Phoenix called out softly. He picked up the third lady and placed it on the soft tatami.
"Luye, hurry up and cook some ginger soup." Fenghuang ordered the maid to take out the plum blossom needle and stab it in the Baihui point of the third lady, Yingxiang point, and Fengchi point.
"Oh, after a moment, the third lady slowly opened her eyes. Oh, why are her eyelids so heavy? Her body is also sore and weak."
"What's wrong with me? What did you do to me? The third lady stared at Young Master Phoenix with admonition."
"Come on, drink some ginger soup, you have a cold..."
Phoenix scooped a spoonful of ginger soup and blew it gently, with a piece of apologized in his eyes.
The weak third lady said, "Tell me something about Shangguan Qing. What does the Ludi Palace Master mean?"
Phoenix said: "You drink it first, and then talk in detail later."
The third lady stopped making trouble and finished drinking the soup obediently. Phoenix used a silk squid to gently dip the medicine stains on the corner of her mouth, which was so doting that she was so doting.
The third lady felt a little shocked and said embarrassedly: "Young Master, thank you, don't treat me so well, I am the crown princess."
"We can only be friends..." Her voice gradually became so low that she couldn't even hear it clearly.
"Yeah, Phoenix understands that as long as I like you, I will be happy in this life, can I just be with you, okay?...Duyuan, and the rest, let's leave it to time. Yeah!"
The third lady stared at the Phoenix, and a trace of guilt rose in her heart.
"Phoenix, how old are you from Ludi Palace?"
"It's been a long time since I was a child. I didn't have food to eat. It was my adoptive father who took me in."
"Do you still remember where I am from?"
"I don't remember..." Phoenix responded casually.
"Oh!" Miss Third regretted.
"Young Master, the heat-removing medicine is ready." Luye stood outside the door with a medicine cup.
"Okay, present it to the Crown Princess."
After taking the medicine soup, the third lady felt her eyes falling again.
Phoenix held the third little girl's hand: "Tangyuan, believe me, I have no intention of harming you."
"It's okay. I added some sleeping grass to this medicine to help you recover from cold and heat. Well, after a stick of incense, your fever will be cured."
"Well, don't... move... me!"
The medicine came up, and the third lady had not finished speaking, and she fell asleep again.
Phoenix smiled helplessly and covered the third lady with a thin blanket. "Sleep well, little girl, I, Phoenix, aren't a flower picker!"
The maid Luye next to him pursed her lips and smiled: "Young Master, this princess is really cute. No wonder you have changed!... Cough," Phoenix's face instantly turned red to his ears, pretending to scold: "Have I changed?"
"Cough cough..." The maid Luye immediately changed her words: Yes, the young master has never liked women, how could he like her!
"Bold girl, you talk a lot..." Phoenix's beautiful eyes were angry, and the green leaves quipped out of the room tactfully.
Phoenix sat slowly on the edge of the couch: "Yes, I never like women, why did I feel true to Xiao Tangyuan? The rhythm of seeking death...
Alas…” He slapped himself, trying his best to stop his distractedness at this moment.
Phoenix couldn't understand why this petite woman always made him fascinated?...
He had no idea of contemplation, so he gently wiped the piccolo in his arms.
Finally, twist the green flute tail, and a fine drawing reveals a corner.
...
At noon, at the Kyoto Palace, Emperor Shangguan Zi and Prince Shangguan Yun summoned Han Mosheng, the Minister of Military Affairs, in the Qinzheng Hall.
"Han Qing's family, are there any tips about the prince recently?"
"Emperor, the shadows sent to the north of the emperor have not returned yet. They were sent to the southern border... There is an exceptional message..."
"Oh, what kind of exception is it?" The emperor put down the topaz teacup in his hand and looked at Mr. Han expectantly.
"Your Majesty, someone saw the Crown Princess go to Jingwu City. And..." Mr. Han looked at the Crown Prince, but instead kept silent.
"Say, I forgive you for not guilty!"
"Yes, the subordinates of the humble servants found that the Crown Princess was intimate with a stunning man and... stayed here overnight... the man."
Crack, the teacup in Shangguan Yun's hand was crushed and his face was black.
"Old man, why are you chewing on the tongue? The prince killed you!"
"Your Highness, the old minister doesn't believe it... But, the letter is angular, and the weak minister dares not make decisions without authorization." Han Mosheng sweated profusely and knelt at the emperor's feet tremblingly.
"...I can only come and report, and ask the Lord and His Highness to make a decision. What should we do next?"
Shangguan Yun was so angry that he pulled Mr. Han and said, "Tell me clearly who your informant is and how did you get the slander?"
"Father, let me go to Jingwu City. This dead woman, she actually..."
Pa! The emperor said angrily: "Boy, when will you learn more maturely and more steadyly? Do you don't know the character and character of Tangyuan? You don't even trust it?"
"Father, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if she does not have such intentions, it is difficult to guarantee that others have no evil intentions!"
Shangguan Yun's pupils were burned with jealousy, as if he had caught an adulterer.
He rushed out of the hall and punched the cherry blossom tree in front of the hall with his fists. With a crack, the trunk broke, which scared several palace maids hiding under the eaves and shivered.
"You dead woman, it's better not to be out of line... Otherwise, I, Shangguan Yun, will let you die without a burial place!"
Back at the hall, Shangguan Yun looked at Han Mosheng and said coldly: "General Han, you should immediately go and dispatch 50,000 elite troops from the Flying Tiger Camp in Kyoto, and follow the prince to fight Jingwu City overnight."
"Your Highness, don't be reckless! There will be heresy when mobilizing the army, and it may be inappropriate... Cough cough," Mr. Han sweated heavily.
Emperor, I object! I think this matter should not be a big deal, so I would rather investigate it clearly. Moreover, the authenticity is not determined!…
Well, my dear words are reasonable and mobilizing troops to launch Jingwu City in large numbers will definitely give the good people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The emperor is very clear about his words, and admires his humble duties! He is willing to share his worries with the emperor and His Highness.
Then, Han Qing, come on the news!
The Emperor, I have a suggestion:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince also asked you to visit him in a private manner. You can bring dozens of Delivery generals and sneak away quickly. First, you can meet with the Crown Princess secretly, and second, you can find out another news..."
"What else?" Shangguan Yun turned around and asked.
"I heard that the deposed emperor... is now in the Thirteenth Palace of Ludi in Jingwu City. His current identity is Feng Yun, the third adopted son of the city lord Jushan Sheng.
Feng Yun is trying to recruit soldiers and hoard food... He may have a different idea in his mind, and it is unknown if he rekindles his life..."
Yes! Mr. Han is well aware of this news, and I have heard of it a little! The emperor's expression was gloomy.
"The emperor, the nephew of Weichen went to Jingwu City in his early years and later joined the Thirteenth Palace of Ludi.
Over the years, the power of Dongqian Sanren has been growing. Shangguan Qing is a smart man. He joined the thirteen palaces. Beizhi believes that it is definitely not an accidental decision."
"Well! I also think so, I have already deployed the Shadow Guard in advance."
"Oh! The emperor is wise and powerful, and I admire him! I wonder who the emperor sent to Jingwu City? Can you make an appointment with your nephew, which may be more conducive to the jurisdiction of the court!"
"Your dear said very well, I'm sure. Yun'er, go to Feihu Camp to transfer several elite generals."
"I wonder what Lord Han's nephew is called and contact information?" Shangguan Yun said anxiously.
"Your Highness, after you arrive at Jingwu City, go to the inn in the west of the city to find him... This is a contact card."
Minister Han immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Shangguan Yun. The emperor comforted him: "Your dear, please step down first, and I will announce that you will discuss it together."
Immediately afterwards, the emperor gave Yingwei Xiaohonglou and his men to his son.
"Oh, Father, do you have a shadow guard?" Shangguan Yun looked at the emperor in surprise, with a little more respect in his eyes.
"Father, son-in-law will prepare immediately. All security in Kyoto must be careful!"
"I know, go and go back quickly. Remember to be cautious in everything and be sure to believe in dumplings!"
"Yeah, Erchen is here."
The night wind is gentle, the moon is sparse.
On the official road leading to the southern border, more than 20 men in blue rode high-headed horses and galloped away.
The leader's sweat-blooded BMW was strong and powerful, and majestic. The handsome young man on the horse easily squeezed his horse's belly, and the BMW ran away like lightning, throwing dozens of people behind him for 10 or 20 miles.
"Master Yun, wait for us, beware of obstacles ahead..."
"Shangyang, you are too brave. Follow Feiyan immediately, don't be alone!"
"Ga," the handsome man on the horse was the prince Shangguan Yun, who waved his black mane.
Shang Yang's black-maned horse leaped in the air. With a neigh, he crossed the hill and ran in front of the team.
At this time, the moon had penetrated into the clouds.
In the dark wilderness, suddenly, Shang Yang reported: "Young Master, there are white flowers in front of you, as if squirming. I don't know what it is? Everyone should be careful..."
