Wishful Things

"From my point of view, it is impossible for Lingsun to be in the hands of these people. If it is true, I must have used this to threaten me to let them go. If that is the case, I will definitely agree to it for the sake of the Duke. With such a bargaining chip, it is impossible for them to use it."

Yeah?

Hearing the other party's words to smooth things over for him, Duke Zhen's eyes were cold and he didn't respond.

After all, if he really wanted to speak, he really only had one euphemistic "fuck you" to say.

"Duke, don't worry. After tracking down the traces of the assassin, I will send more people to find people in the mountains on behalf of Duke. I will definitely help Duke find him back." Emperor Qingming said in a tone of assurance.

Zhen Guogong had no more thoughts to say, he cupped his hands expressionlessly and said: "Yes, I will leave."

Still have to wait to track down the traces of the assassin—where did the other party get the confidence that he would wait like this?

The degree of hypocrisy of His Majesty the emperor has exceeded his cognition, and now he even feels that even if he wants to ask for instructions on the deployment of troops, the other party has a set of extremely hypocritical rhetoric that can be used to stop him.

He didn't want to waste his tongue.

He wants to mobilize troops—

And I don't plan to ask the other party for instructions in advance.

"My lord, wait a minute."

Emperor Qingming called people to stop.

Zhen Guogong turned around and looked back.

Emperor Qingming said with some regret: "Just now, in order to save me, the Duke threw out the personal jade pendant in a hurry. I remember this piece of jade, it seems that it was given to the Duke by the previous emperor. After returning to the palace, I will definitely find a similar one and return it to the Duke."

——Is this because he is afraid that he will have a grudge against the matter of talent, and deliberately show the friendship between the monarch and his ministers in front of others?

Lord Zhen Guo glanced at the broken jade in the hall, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but everything has its own definite order, so don't worry about it."

After saying that, he bowed again and strode away.

Seeing the tall and burly figure disappearing behind him, Emperor Qingming's eyes flickered.

At this time, Han Yan's voice came from his ear.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is poison on this arrow—"

Han Yan said after checking the young man's wound.

Emperor Qingming came back to his senses, and frowned: "Immediately ask the imperial physician to come and see you!"

The arrow that assassinated him was poisoned... These remnants of the previous dynasty should all be hacked into pieces!

After Zhen Guogong left everyone's sight, Wu Chao followed.

When the two rubbed shoulders, the young man's low voice reached Duke Zhen Guo's ears.

"Duke, please come with the younger generation—"

After a moment of hesitation at the foot of Zhen Guogong, he followed the boy's direction.

In Linfu Hall, the accompanying imperial physician arrived very quickly, and the young man was temporarily placed in a warm pavilion. Seeing this man was very unfamiliar, Emperor Qingming, who was sitting in the hall, asked the officials, "I haven't had time to ask, which family is this young man from?"

The other party was wearing a long gown, and his demeanor was not like that of a servant.

The officials each looked at their colleagues.

At this time, after half a day of recuperating from the injuries on his face, Ji Xiu, who looked more blue-nose and blue-eyed, stood up.

"Return to Your Majesty, this person is a scholar of Weichen's mansion..."

"It turned out to be someone from Ji Aiqing's residence." Emperor Qingming was a little surprised, and immediately thought of something, said: "But just now I see that he is also extremely fast, he seems to have practiced martial arts."

"I know some boxing skills." Ji Xiu lowered his eyes and didn't say much.

What happened tonight was beyond his expectation. The current situation was sudden and chaotic to him.

At this moment the doctor came out.

"How?" Emperor Qingming asked himself.

"Fortunately, the wound was on the shoulder, so it didn't cause life-threatening in a short period of time..." The imperial physician replied truthfully: "The arrowhead has been taken out, but because the arrow is poisonous, the flesh around the wound has to be gouged out, and now the medicine has been applied, but it is not yet known when the person will wake up."

"He did it to save me." Emperor Qingming sighed slightly, and confessed: "Order him to take care of him, and when he wakes up, I will reward him personally."

The imperial physician should come down.

Several officials looked at Ji Xiu.

Ji Xiu remained calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

What are you looking at him for?

Could it be that he felt that all of this was arranged by him? Deliberately let your subordinates show off in front of the emperor to rescue him?

He already thought that Zhan Yunzhu was difficult to control, and it was too late for him to hide and use it, so how could he let the other party appear in front of the emperor in such a way!

"His Majesty."

A eunuch came in at this moment and said, "The Empress and Concubine Jing are here."

This time out of the palace, Emperor Qingming only brought the Queen and Concubine Jing with him.

Ordinarily, Concubine Rong, who gave birth to the prince last year and is now receiving the favor, should be the follower, but because Emperor Qingming did not want the immature little prince to leave the palace, and the little prince is now the most attached to his mother and concubine, so he replaced the concubine Rong who was originally appointed with Concubine Jing.

"Follow-up matters will be dealt with by the police guards. All dear friends, please go back and rest." Emperor Qingming said to everyone.

The officials responded, saluted and retreated.

The Queen and Concubine Jing led the maids into the hall.

"The concubine sees His Majesty."

After the two saluted one after another, Concubine Jing said worriedly with red eyes in the front: "I heard that the Yueming Pavilion was flooded first, and then was assassinated... The concubine is really worried! Seeing that His Majesty is fine, I can finally let go of my heart."

As for why he came so late after being so worried, there was nothing else, but he heard that some assassins felt scared and did not dare to rush forward.

After all, the level of worry is far from worth her risk.

The queen also asked about it.

She also came very late, even if it wasn't for Concubine Jing to look for her, she could have come even later.

But it wasn't because she was afraid, she just didn't want to come.

Anyway, it's not good news - she pointed out that the assassin's assassination failed.

"I'm fine, Empress don't worry." Emperor Qingming said with gentle eyes.

At this time, Concubine Jing at the side supported the position of her temples, and her figure swayed.

"Your Majesty!" The servant girl let out a low cry and helped her up.

The queen looked over and said with concern: "Sister Jingpin was too worried about His Majesty's safety along the way, and she was too nervous to feel unwell?"

Concubine Jing: "...?"

The queen was still watching her.

Faced with this kind of drama of competing for favor, as the lord of the sixth house, she has always been willing to cooperate and help each other sincerely based on the principle of taking care of her younger sisters.

It's a pity that many concubines don't believe her sincerity, often making her good intentions useless.

Concubine Jing forced a smile: "The concubine suddenly felt a little dizzy..."

The queen said: "Then sit down quickly and ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Seeing Emperor Qingming nod his head, the maid helped Concubine Jing to sit down.

The imperial physician in the warm pavilion was invited out to treat Concubine Jing.

After checking Concubine Jing's pulse repeatedly, the imperial physician withdrew his hand, first raised his hand and bowed to Emperor Qingming.

There was a look of surprise in the queen's eyes.

Doctor Zheng's series of actions are like a ritual under certain circumstances——

What I want to say next, could it be...

Thank you Qinghan and Hexing for your rewards, and thank you for every monthly ticket and message.

Good night lovely everyone.
