"Imperial doctor!" Jiang Yanchi immediately picked him up, set up the bead curtain sideways and headed towards the inner hall, laid him down on the couch, and found out that he was breathing weakly.

Hearing that tone, Xiao Xizi seemed to be in awe, and hurried in.

Seeing a pool of black blood, the cup and plate were all broken, and his face turned pale with fright.

He quickly ordered people to call the imperial doctor, and at the same time called a small group of people to tidy up the dishes, maybe there was something weird in the food and wine.

The imperial doctor concluded that it was a highly poisonous drug stone that was difficult to cure, and the source could not be diagnosed for a while.I can only feed a few commonly used emetic soups first, and let him spit out the contents of his stomach first.

But he didn't eat anything at all, and all he spit out was blood.It made people's hair go numb.

The imperial doctor applied needles to seal the blood, and stopped the poisonous blood from spreading into the bone marrow for the time being. Seeing that the man was about to lose his breath, he thought about the prince's livid face. Let's feed it first.

It was probably because of the fatality of this person, he took a dose of medicine indiscriminately, and after walking through the gate of hell, he was able to breathe again.

Chu Xie walked through the plot with dignity, and just as he raised one hand, Jiang Yanchi held it tightly.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, don't eat...yes, it's poisonous..."

"Ding, the task of poisoning the prince is complete."

"Ding, the task of saving the prince is complete."

Hearing the two voices in his head, Chu Xiexin finally let go, feeling tired gradually.

"Don't sleep...Ah Mu, don't...don't sleep..."

His eyes turned red instantly, and he rubbed his palms in a panic.

No, it can't be this cold.

He thought of seeing the gray color of A Niang's body more than two years ago.It is almost indistinguishable from the people in front of me today.

"Don't sleep...don't...die..."

Chu Xie vaguely felt the pain in his hands being clenched, so he forcefully opened his eyes.

"Your Highness, don't cry."

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yanchi nodded vigorously: "I won't cry, don't sleep, okay?"

Look at this look like a mourning concubine.

Turning on the pain relief buff, Chu Xie was so sleepy that he didn't bother to comfort him, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The imperial doctor was so frightened that his back was soaked with three layers of clothes. Now he finally wiped his forehead and took the needle: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous, the poison is deadly, this person is almost gone... Okay, right now, there is someone I'm dead..."

Only then did Jiang Yanchi relax his body, and sat down on the side of the bed, resting his forehead with his hands, smiling, and the corners of his eyes were wet again.

Xiao Xizi brought up the bowl of hanging pheasant.

"Your Highness, it has been tested, and the poison is here."

Jiang Yanchi only pressed his forehead, his face was hidden in the shadow of his palm, his voice was hoarse and full of exhaustion: "Look down."

Xiao Xizi looked left and right, put down the wooden plate, leaned close to Jiang Yanchi's ear and said in a low voice, "I've checked, and it's said that the Chu family did the trick."

Chu Xie.

It was Chuxie again.

Slowly lowering the hand, the eye sockets were dyed a circle of light red, and the needles in the pupils suddenly appeared.

"Your Highness, right now we can only procrastinate. We must get the right antidote within a day..." The imperial doctor said while feeling the pulse, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Jiang Yanchi looked at the unconscious man on the bed, pondering something in his heart, and said, "Secretly, pick someone up into the East Palace."

"Pick up who?" Xiao Xizi asked.

"Zhen Guohou's son, Xu Changling."

***

The one who entered the palace overnight was Xu Changling, the eldest grandson of the Northern Marquis of Beijing Town and the virtuous son-in-law of the Ministry of Officials, who had lived idle in Shangjing for a long time.

When Jiang Yanchi saw this person, he was eight feet tall. He was indeed tall and straight, with a somewhat heroic appearance of a general.

It's just that they have been together for a long time, and since they got married, they haven't been back to the northern border for three or four years, so they don't have any military achievements.

"Forbidden Army?" Xu Changling heard what His Royal Highness said, shook his head and said, "Commander Li was promoted by the late emperor, and he has always been loyal and brave. But the deputy commander, Zhao Kuang, is the cousin of the Duke of Yue. Half of the Tiger Talisman of the Forbidden Army is surnamed Zhao. In his hands, it is really difficult to mobilize."

"That son of a bitch has another way."

Jiang Yanchi asked again: "All the members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are Chu Xie's people. It is impossible to rely on the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate this case..."

"Anyway, His Highness is fine now, why not just expose it lightly? Is it a favor for that surnamed Chu?" Xu Changling scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"Gently uncovered?" Jiang Yanchi's voice was full of anger, "No, I will make him pay back a hundred times and a thousand times for this matter. Not for myself, but also for your brother..."

"Xu Chunmu?" Xu Changling was even more confused. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking, "My younger brother is also involved? Isn't he in Nagano County?"

Jiang Yanchi didn't go into details, but only mentioned that Xu Chunmu sneaked into the capital to help him.After hearing this, Xu Changling touched his nose in doubt, and said, "I haven't seen Chun Mu for many years. When he first came to Shangjing, he was only ten years old. Afterwards, he led the soldiers, so he was rarely seen. So he is still going to the capital right now?"

Now the man is seriously ill.Jiang Yanchi didn't want anyone to disturb his peaceful sleep, so he said vaguely, "Well, it's not very convenient to see people right now."

He frowned again and asked.

"You really let him go to the battlefield?"

Xu Changling seemed not at all surprised that the prince asked such a question, and started to explain again with ease.

"Hey, Your Highness, don't look at him. He looks like a girl, but he is very skillful and experienced in fighting. He is familiar with the terrain of the desert. He is willing to endure any hardships and can resist !" Xu Changling smiled, "If I hadn't falsely grown him a few years earlier, I really wouldn't be able to take the position of Marquis... However, he is just a bastard after all..."

Jiang Yanchi paused when he got up: "Is he a bastard?"

"Yes, it's a wild child brought back from outside... But the old Hou Ye loves him very much, so he also recorded it under Mrs. Hou's name and raised him as his son-in-law."

Everything is right.

He really suffered a lot when he was a child.

The son-in-law can live in Xijing for a long time and live a carefree life, but he has to stay in the bitterly cold northern border, and has to lead the army to fight with his thin body...

"If Your Highness wants me, the Xu family, to put pressure on the Duke of Yue, it's not impossible. It's just..." Xu Changling hinted vaguely, "It doesn't seem to be any advantage for the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Xu Shizi lived in Beijing for a long time, and he didn't get a job. How about you think of a way to take the job of the deputy commander of the Duke of Yue's mansion." Jiang Yan said late.

Xu Changling narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously quite satisfied.

The Xu family's influence on the border should not be underestimated.But for the capital city, it is always beyond reach.

This is also the reason why he rushed to marry a daughter of a Shangshu family nine years ago - the Xu family has been consolidating their power in the imperial city.

It would be great if he could get half of the command of the Imperial Army.

Jiang Yanchi could see his heartbeat, and added another sentence at the end: "Also, I want to marry Xu Chunmu, the second son of your Xu family, as the crown princess."

"...?"

Xu Changling was dumbfounded again.

Although male queens and concubines have existed since ancient times, His Royal Highness's wooing is too hasty... But after thinking about it, Xu Chunmu's face is indeed much prettier than the average official girl in the capital. It is understandable that His Highness has such a lust.

I have some vision.

After all, Xu Chunmu is just a bastard.If she can become the crown princess, then the power of the Xu family will continue unabated. This is simply a profitable business.

Father and grandpa are always happy.

Xu Changling immediately responded with cupped fists, as if he was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would regret it.

Now that the national seal is in his hands, Jiang Yanchi immediately drew up an order to send it to the northern border in an expedited manner, eight hundred miles away, and it should be delivered in six or seven days.

After all these arrangements were settled, Jiang Yanchi finally let out a long breath.

***

north.Nagano County.

The soldiers in the camp saw a flame approaching from a distance, but they didn't listen to the movement of the sentinel, and looked over there curiously.When I got closer, I saw that it was the royal messenger.

In the extreme north of Nagano County, it is rare to see urgent delivery from the Imperial City.

The soldiers all rubbed their hands together, and saw that the envoy in dark green satin and cloak held a scroll of imperial edict printed with golden dragon pattern on a black background above his head, and handed it into the military tent.

Xu Chunmu glanced at the will, and found that the box above was the symbol of the imperial city.

Brow wrinkled.

"What purpose?"

"Your Majesty will know when you open it. This is the order from the capital, so hurry up and accept the order." The messenger was full of joy.

Now that the world is at peace, how can there be any urgent orders in Shangjing that can be sent from thousands of miles away.

Xu Chunmu took a sip of strong wine, walked to the side of the messenger, looked down at him condescendingly, put his hand on the hilt of his sword lightly, and said, "Say."

"Yes... yes..." Knowing that this is not in accordance with the regulations, but forced by the majesty of the Xu family, the messenger raised his head and glanced at the stern expression of the young master, and said, "It is... who made you the crown princess... will..."

Hearing this, he was taken aback.That delicate brow furrowed even deeper.

What kind of evil wind is blowing in the capital.

"As it is, send it back."

Xu Chunmu's face turned cold, and he cherished words more and more like gold.

The messenger was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "I can't... I can't, my little lord, this..."

With a bang, the long sword was drawn out and pointed at the tip of the man's nose.

"Send, return, go."

The messenger nodded tremblingly, and retracted the sharp knife.The moonlight reflected the cold side face of the young master, making it even more indifferent.

When he was about to exit the tent, he heard the man whispering again.

"Wait a minute."

The messenger stopped.

"Chu..."

Looking back, he saw the young master wiping his sword unhurriedly, his dark pupils were like a pool of stagnant water, he was silent for a long time, and said again: "...that's all."

"..."
