The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

After finding a secluded place to hide the horse, Xiu Luoran and Yi Jingxuan lay on the hillside, looking down at the official road below the mountain.

Soon, the two fighting groups appeared on the official road at the foot of the mountain.

The two groups fought fiercely. Both sides were evenly matched and suffered heavy casualties.

Yi Jingxuan pulled Xiu Luoran and ran down the mountain.

Xiu Luoran asked: "Why, do you know them?"

Yi Jingxuan's eyes never left the two groups of people who were fighting desperately:

"One of them is my third brother's men."

"The Third Prince's men?"

"Correct."

Hearing this, Xiu Luoran grabbed Yi Jingxuan and used his Qinggong skills to fly down the mountain.

Both sides of the fight were exhausted, and after Xiu Luoran and Yi Jingxuan joined in, the battle was quickly over.

Xu Wei came over to meet Yi Jingxuan, holding a bloody sword.

Yi Jingxuan asked: "What's going on?"

Xu Wei looked at Xiu Luoran, and Yi Jingxuan said:

"She is Xiu Lingce's sister. You can speak freely if you have anything to say."

Xu Wei said, "Fifth Prince, we received some very important news and were going to the city to inform the Third Prince. Unexpectedly, we were discovered by the Second Prince's men and were chased all the way."

Yi Jingxuan didn't ask what the news was. The situation in the capital was tense and forces from all sides were on the verge of breaking out.

Yi Jingxuan looked at Xu Wei and the other two seriously injured people and asked:

"Do you need us to protect you into the city?"

Xu Wei immediately bowed and said, "This news concerns the fate of the country. Please ask His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and Miss Xiu to escort us to the Third Prince's Palace."

Yi Jingxuan and Xiu Luoran nodded at the same time.

……

The capital city, the third prince’s palace.

The third prince Yi Jingpin and Xiu Lingce were facing each other, both sitting in wheelchairs.

The Third Prince said to Xiu Lingce:

"There's news from the palace that my father has already sent away the foreign envoys. Tomorrow, the foreign envoys will leave the capital."

Xiu Lingce nodded.

Yi Jingpin added: "My father has been in low spirits recently and can't even hold court in the morning. But the imperial physician said that he was just a little tired and it was not a problem.

But I always feel that things are not that simple.

Ling Ce, look, why don't you let your sister show her to my father?"

"it is good."

Xiu Lingce called the servant beside him:

"Go back to the mansion and find Miss *, and ask her to come over quietly."

"Yes, eldest son."

The boy left.

Yi Jingpin sighed: "Ling Ce, sometimes I really want to stand up and stand in front of my father to reassure him."

"Your Highness, if that happens, I don't know how many of your men will die, and I'm afraid your life will not be easy."

"It's better for me to be sad than for my father to be sad. Every time I see my father's melancholy and disappointed eyes, I feel that I am very unfilial."

"Your Highness, you don't have to feel guilty. This is for the greater good. When do you think he will take action?"

"My father is going to fall ill soon. I think it will be soon."

Xiu Lingce had a questioning look on his face:

"Your Majesty has always been in good health, how could he become like this?

The other day I heard my father describe the emperor's expression, and to put it bluntly, it felt like..."

Yi Jingpin looked at Xiu Lingce:

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

Xiu Lingce: "It seems like he is dying."

Yi Jingpin sighed again:

“Although he was holding on, everyone knew that he was seriously ill.

I went to see him half a month ago, and his face was still rosy. I wondered if he had been poisoned.

This morning I went to the palace to ask for an audience, but was refused. "

Xiu Lingce was shocked: "What? Has the Second Prince's power infiltrated the palace? Or... has the Emperor been controlled?"

Yi Jingpin shook his head: "It's unlikely that he was controlled. Maybe my father didn't even know that I wanted to see him."

"Someone is preventing you from seeing the Emperor?"

"Ah."

Xiu Lingce's servant came back:

"My Lord, the young lady left the capital for the Southern Province last night. There was a problem with her warehouse, and she went to deal with it."
