Emperor Que Shaohua

King Jing sat by the bed, which was Luo Pingyuan's bed in Hanxiao Zhai.Being able to sit up instead of lying down is already the limit of what he can do so far.He didn't want to hide in the cellar, if something happened tonight, the enemy would definitely search for him everywhere, and those followers who didn't know martial arts but hid would be hurt.Moreover, some things are useless to hide from, it is better to fight hard.

He heard someone killed outside, probably fighting Qin Shuang.The people sent by the prince are not stupid, they have already shifted the attack focus from Lancangju to Hanxiaozhai.It was still the first half of the night, Bi Haicheng's poison was far from over, he only felt twisted inside his body, and his chest was suffocated, as if his internal organs were about to be emptied and filled with something cold again.He tried his best to keep his sanity, but his eyes were still blackened uncontrollably.

When a person is weak, even the will will become weak. At this moment, he will doubt whether his choice is really correct, especially tonight, when the subordinates are fighting hard, and the enemy is coming towards him. He can't do anything.The pain in my body came one after another, as if it would never go away or get better, and it drained all my energy.He was always holding a silver cylinder in his right hand, but he didn't know if he would still have the strength to use it if the enemy came close.

Right now, Guan Ling, Qin Shuang, and several other hidden guards are defending Hanxiaozhai. When Luo Pingyuan arrived, each of them had more than one opponent, and there were quite a few strong opponents among them.

Luo Pingyuan knew that Brother Huang must be in the room, and he did not leave any room for his sword, and killed several people in a row. With him joining, the battle situation immediately tilted.Seeing that Qin Shuang, who was the strongest in martial arts, had already moved his hands to support his companions, and he was thinking about King Jing, he was about to withdraw into the room when a figure in black jumped out of the darkness and rushed into the inner room with great speed.

The leader of the assassins has been preparing for a long time, and has been observing the situation. This operation has been carefully planned in advance, and the crown prince promised to reward him heavily. His original plan was to hide in the dark, find a gap to attack, and wait for his side to gain the upper hand before going in. hands on.But he never expected that King Ning would return suddenly at this juncture. Seeing the corpses of several dead soldiers lying on the ground in a blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth secretly. Disadvantage, I'm afraid that if you don't take action yourself, you won't even have the chance to sneak attack.

It all happened in an instant, and everyone felt that there was a flash in front of their eyes, and he broke into it.There was silence in the room, and the leader of the assassins identified the bed in the dark, and immediately slashed down with his sword.

In the blink of an eye, only a light "Peng" sound was heard in the dark inner room, a bunch of silver light shot out from Luo Yanhua's hand on the couch, and dozens of silver needles as thin as cow hair all sank into the assassin's chest and abdomen. The saber in his hand was already in front of King Jing, but it froze there, unable to advance further.

He didn't feel the pain, and he didn't even have time to be afraid, and his heart suddenly felt cold again. He lowered his head, only to see a sword edge with a cold light that surpassed water protruding from his chest.

Luo Yanhua felt dizzy for a while, he lowered his hand, and without the slightest strength, the syringe in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and there seemed to be a clear and anxious voice in his ear: "Brother Huang, are you alright?" ?”

Before he lost consciousness, his last thought was: this time it must be a hallucination, how could Ping Yuan come back so soon, and just appeared in Hanxiaozhai.Fortunately, no matter whether he was hallucinating or not, there was no pain from the needle in the sound he heard. His own people knew it in advance and could not enter the inner room at will, because the Bi'an Needle is just like its name. Once fired, the power is not inferior to the legendary rainstorm The pear blossom nail will send the victim to the other side of the underworld.He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he accidentally injured Luo Pingyuan.

Qin Shuang knocked down an enemy and rushed into the inner room. He only heard King Ning's voice, but there was no response from King Jing. He was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He didn't even have time to light the lamp when he entered, so he immediately took out the fire pocket from his arms. .

When he saw his suzerain lying in King Ning's arms with a pale face and unconscious, he was even more frightened. He rushed forward to test his breath and check whether he was injured.

"Brother Huang should have no external injuries," Luo Pingyuan said with a frown. The assassin failed to strike, and he was not much better than Qin Shuang when he checked King Jing's condition just now, but he came in earlier and calmed down a bit. After King Jing's illness, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Huang has been ill for the past two days?"

Qin Shuang saw that there was no blood on Luo Yanhua's body, and his pulse did not seem to be injured internally, so he regained his composure: "The Lord is seriously ill, and he should feel better after tonight."

He kicked the corpse on the ground, and found that the face was recognizable: "This man is called Dai Shijie, and he has an older brother named Dai Shifa, who specializes in doing shady things for the Eastern Palace. Unexpectedly, even he will come tonight."

Hearing the words, Luo Pingyuan came inside and said: "There are still some unfinished things outside, you go to meet the enemy yourself, I will guard here." Even though he has many doubts, this is not the time to speak.

The chief culprit was dead, but Qin Shuang turned around and went out while the situation in the mansion was not over.King Ning had just eliminated several assassins, and the hidden guards in the mansion had already gained the upper hand.

Luo Pingyuan listened to the killing sound outside, in addition to anxiety, there was also a faint sense of fear in his heart, he was fine when he left, if he didn't come back tonight, if it was not himself or Qin Shuang who rushed in just now, but another Assassin, what will happen, will he still see Brother Huang?

For a while, he only felt flustered. King Jing's body felt cold, and his breathing was as intermittent as that night in Wulan Mountain. What kind of illness did he suffer from?

Luo Pingyuan couldn't help shaking him twice: "Brother Huang, wake up, okay?" However, Luo Yuhua didn't make a sound, but his brows frowned imperceptibly, as if he was in a coma enduring suffering.

Luo Pingyuan didn't dare to move him anymore, so he could only sit quietly, a corpse cooling down on the ground, with an expression of disbelief on his face.The prince, who usually looks gentle and modest, is so ruthless when he secretly strikes, or this is his true face.

When the sound of weapons colliding gradually subsided, he felt King Jing moved slightly, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was struggling to wake up, he lowered his head and comforted: "Brother Emperor, it's me, I'm fine now."

It took about an hour from the first batch of assassins entering the mansion to the end of all the assassins. Once the leader died, there was no one to direct the scene, and he was quickly defeated, leaving behind dozens of corpses, and the rest fled with injuries. Two of Wei also died in battle.

The little servants and the servants who were not familiar with martial arts were all arranged and hidden in the cellar in advance, and at this time they rushed out to serve and tidy up.Now that the fifth prince has come back, he has become the backbone, and everyone's expression is still calm, and they deal with the aftermath in an orderly manner.

Luo Pingyuan didn't ask anyone to move Jing Wang back to Lancang Residence, but only ordered Bai Lu and Gu Yu to sleep outside and wait for orders, and the others didn't have to guard.

When the fuss finally passed, he sat on the side of the bed and lost his mind. This place was not the tent in the Wulan paddock, but the mansion of King Jing. However, he was still helpless and could only stay by his side.If the situation is similar to last time, it will probably ease up in another hour or two, but Luo Yanhua looks very uncomfortable, as if he is worried about something, he can't wake up, and he can't completely fall into a coma. Layer after layer of sweat broke out, and a silk handkerchief was already half damp just by wiping his forehead.

Luo Pingyuan's heart tightened for a while, Gu Yu said that he had already taken the medicine when he became ill, and now he could only wait.He poured a glass of warm water and wanted Brother Huang to drink a few sips, but the patient refused to drink even the water when he was confused. It was clearly still summer, but he seemed to be shivering from the cold, and his lips were all gray.

Luo Pingyuan thought about it, got up and closed the door of the inner room, sat back to his original position, stretched out his hand to hold his wrist veins, and began to try to input zhenqi.This is the only way he can get rid of dampness and cold last time. It worked well, and I hope it will work now too.

Luo Yanhua felt the flow of true qi in his body in the exhaustion of overdraft, and the warm inner breath slowly circulated around the sky. He hadn't felt this way for many years. In the past, he could also guide true qi to heal wounds and use internal force To meet the enemy, use lightness kung fu to come and go freely.But now that he has lost all his martial arts, when was the last time he used his internal strength?He trembled for a moment, and suddenly regained consciousness.

"Brother Huang, are you awake?" Seeing him open his eyes, Luo Pingyuan couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Don't move yet, your breath is too messy, I'll help you sort it out."

King Jing saw the younger brother who shouldn't be here, with a young face close at hand, he was a little confused, and it took a while to gradually understand.Luo Pingyuan, who thought it would take at least five or six days to see him, unexpectedly came back early and was bumped into everything.

Recalling the scene before the coma, he didn't know how to deal with it. Enduring the discomfort caused by the poison, he only let out a soft "hmm".

However, Luo Pingyuan's mind calmed down. After circulating his true energy for a week, he saw that King Jing's eyebrows relaxed a little, but his palms were still cold.After thinking for a while, he lifted a corner of the quilt, and the farthest part from the heart was his feet, and he could get warmer faster by inputting internal force from the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet.

He only took off one of the cloth socks on his feet, and he felt something strange, and he felt a bumpy feeling in his palm.He looked intently and couldn't help being stunned.From the center of the foot to the toes, it is covered with deep and shallow scars, one on top of another, all burnt. Although it has been many years, it can still be seen how serious it was before.His fingers trembled, and he tore off the cloth sock on the other foot, and it was the same. The back of the foot was intact, but the sole and sole of the foot were badly injured.

Zuxin Yongquan acupoint is the most sensitive. He couldn't imagine what the pain would be like when he got such a heavy burn. He burned it repeatedly on the sole of his foot again and again, and no one else would notice it. They thought he was not injured.

He asked softly: "Brother Huang, when did you get hurt on your foot? What else did they do to you?" There was already a tremor in his voice that he didn't realize.

Luo Yanhua was a little dazed at this moment, he didn't notice Luo Pingyuan's movements, but felt his younger brother asking urgently in his ear, as if he must get an answer.He thought hard for a while, then said in a daze, "It's nothing, I've been in court prison for a long time."

In the court prison, Luo Pingyuan was stunned for a moment. More than eight years ago, the eldest son of the emperor was taken to the court prison for interrogation for three days. At that time, he was still in the palace. thing.

There was unspeakable pain in his heart. Indeed, he was less than 11 years old at the time and couldn't change anything, but he just held it indifferent when he heard the news, and quickly put it behind him, and then went away for eight years. , indifferent.

"I've said it before, don't say it's nothing, it's nothing, I don't believe it anymore." He said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, how many injuries have you suffered? Did they torture and torture you to put the blame on you?" ?”

"It doesn't matter," Jing Wang vaguely felt that his voice had changed, and subconsciously comforted him, "Only the feet, the executioner said, this way it will be clean."

It was clean, Luo Pingyuan was stunned for a moment, there was something on King Jing's feet, and he needed to stare at it and burn him.He tried his best to recall in his mind that when he was a child, Rubi sometimes got permission from the queen to take him back to the residence of Yunxiu Palace. say.Once, she took off his shoes and socks, stared at the soles of his feet very intently, and said stupidly: "Ping Yuan, you have to remember that there are red moles on the soles of your feet, which is the proof of Luo Shi's true dragon blood. You are His Majesty. Your prince, a nobleman, is more honorable than anyone else, and no one can despise you because of your concubine mother's birth." As she spoke, she approached her little self mysteriously, "Look at how beautiful the three red moles on the soles of the feet are. The mother and concubine have inquired about it. Not everyone's prince from the Luo family can grow up. Luo Shenhua may not have any feet, don't look at the height. Please remember, don't mention it to outsiders. "

That's right, in her memory, as long as she is alone with Rubi, she always thinks about her family background, because she used to be a maidservant, and she has never been favored by Emperor Tianyi. Don't get entangled.

Before going to bed that night, Luo Pingyuan carefully observed the very important mole on Rupin's mouth with his little feet. Later, he vaguely heard a similar saying from the old nanny in the harem. In the blood, about six out of ten will have red moles on the soles of the feet, which the mother said is a sign that the descendants of dragons and phoenixes are ordered by heaven.He was only six or seven years old at that time, curiously took advantage of the imperial brother's lunch break and fell asleep, and secretly looked at his feet, and the imperial brother also had several feet on his feet.At that time, I just thought it was fun, but I never took it to heart, and I forgot about it afterwards.

At this time, the dusty memory came back, and he suddenly remembered the small and inconspicuous scar on Ji Tinghui's ear that he saw more than two months ago. It was originally a mole. His past and his ingratitude to the Huashan faction, he burned it away.

Concubine Han Guifei sent her 17-year-old emperor brother to the court prison and ordered someone to burn off the red mole on his foot. The red mole will grow back after being burned off, so the skin has to be burned until there is no intact part.

Now that I think about it, how much of Rupin's obsession comes from Concubine Han's ingenious rhetoric and fueling the flames?He did have enemies who killed his mother, they were Concubine Han Gui and Wei Wuze, the empress who raised him died of injustice, Qingluan's life and death are unknown, but the person who killed them was enjoying the wealth and power, and continued to kill the emperor brother non-stop.

Luo Pingyuan sat for an unknown amount of time, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of thoughts surging through his mind, and he understood everything.

The most important reason why Emperor Tianyi believed that the queen was treasonous and collaborating with the country, and why he treated King Jing ruthlessly for many years, was not the so-called concubine's suicide note presented by Concubine Han Guifei, but that the emperor went to Changning after reading the suicide note. The blood test done by Gong.Because he didn't know what kind of hands and feet were tampered with, and the blood of father and son was incompatible. From then on, he no longer believed in the queen's loyalty, and he no longer believed that the emperor's brother was his own son, so all the framing could be established logically.Otherwise, after Jiang Biyao became a country, and Luo Shenhua was the eldest son who was placed with high hopes, what reason would they have to betray Yu Zhou and the emperor.

Concubine Han Guifei must have thought later that there might be moles on Prince Jing's feet. No matter whether the red moles can be used as evidence of the prince's identity, she and the prince must remove them, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat.This branding torture was so cruel and vicious that it revealed a guilty conscience in the attempt to cover it up.Just like Ji Tinghui knows that even if the mole on the ear is burned off, it will leave marks in the same place, but he still can't help but burn it.

Both the Queen and Lang Huan were innocent and wronged, Luo Pingyuan had never confirmed this like this moment.There were bursts of constriction and throbbing pain in his heart, and at the same time the swelling was about to burst. In addition to the deep pain, there was also an indescribable anger.He looked at Prince Jing in front of him, his complexion had improved a bit compared to before, but he was still as pale as paper, how healthy he was.

Luo Pingyuan took a deep breath, he didn't have the courage to look at the overlapping scars on Brother Huang's feet, so he could only hold his wrist veins again and input his internal force.
