Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 674

[Chapter 674 Life and Death (1)]

“Ouch!”

The fourth prince was lying on the bed, and the fourth prince concubine Zhao Yu, who was busy changing the wound medicine, heard the pain, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Tears fell down.

The fourth prince endured the pain and squeezed out a smile at Zhao Yu: “I only suffered three minor injuries. I applied some wound medicine, and I will be fine after ten days and a half. Compared with the second sister-in-law, I am much luckier.”

Thinking of Li Chang and Li Yi, who had already gone to Huangquan, and Li Hao, who had stepped into the gate of hell, he would be even more grateful for his luck.

Zhao Yu sniffed and hummed with a heavy nasal voice.

The movements of his subordinates were not affected, and he quickly changed the wound medicine and bandaged the fourth prince properly.

The imperial physician and the servants withdrew, leaving only the husband and wife in the dormitory.

“How is the second sister-in-law now?” the fourth prince asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yu wiped her eyes with her sleeves and replied in a hoarse voice: “I heard that the second sister-in-law has woken up. However, she is weak and mentally weak and can’t speak yet. Therefore, I am not in a hurry to visit for the time being.”

The fourth prince showed a wry smile and sighed: “Now there is chaos inside and outside the palace. If King Xingyang stayed in the palace to stabilize the overall situation, I don’t know what troubles would have happened. It is better to have less than one more thing, you Stay with me for a while. In a few days, my second brother will return to Beijing, and I will be able to stay too, and we will go to the East Palace together as a husband and wife.”

Zhao Yu responded in a low voice, and suddenly burst into tears: “Why did it suddenly become like this?”

Thinking of the father who died tragically in Li Yi’s hands, the fourth prince’s eyes were red: “I don’t know either. That night, I sat with my eldest brother drinking. I also told my eldest brother that I was going to the palace to ask for help. The emperor gave me a piece of vassal land. I want to take you, mother and son, to the vassal area and stay away from the right and wrong land of the capital.”

“Big brother was a little excited at the time. I also persuaded him a few words. I never expected that he would enter the palace that night and committed a serious crime of treason.”

This thing is like a stab in the throat.

Every time he thought of this, the Fourth Prince filled with unspeakable annoyance and self-blame.

He had to wonder, if he hadn’t said this that day, wouldn’t the eldest prince rush into the palace with the strength of wine and make a monstrous mistake.

Killed his father and father-in-law, and lost his own life.

“This matter has nothing to do with you,” Zhao Yu and the fourth prince were in the same mind, and seeing the fourth prince’s grief and self-blame, he immediately said: “The first prince secretly gathers people in the world, and he has long been unruly. Otherwise, hastily In the meantime, where did he find the drug, and even the antidote took it with him!”

This is true.

The guilt of the fourth prince faded away, and he said in a low voice, “Anyway, when the second brother comes back, I have to tell the second brother exactly what happened.”

Zhao Yu snorted, and reached out to hold the fourth prince’s hand, her eyes full of distress: “You have a clear conscience and are worthy of anyone. Even if the prince comes back, he won’t do anything to you.”

“Don’t say such things later.” The fourth prince sighed: “My second brother and I are brothers and we have always gotten along in harmony. However, that was the past. It is impossible for a country to be without a king for a day. When I return to Beijing, the first thing is to do the funeral, and the second is to enthrone.”

“There is a difference between a ruler and a minister. From now on, the second brother will be the ruler, and I will be the minister. To be a minister, you have to look like a minister.”

How can being a prince and a vassal be the same?

In the future, he will have to hold his tail and bow his head to be a good man.

Zhao Yu felt a little depressed and had nothing to say.

After being bored for a moment, he said, “Do you still want to go to the Fan?”

“Of course.” The fourth prince smiled bitterly: “And the sooner you express your intentions, the better.”

So as not to provoke the fear of the East Palace faction.

The Meng family’s army was severely defeated, the Xingyang army was severely damaged, and the Yulin army suffered heavy casualties. Only his father-in-law, the Marquis of Puyang, remained unmoved.

He didn’t have the ambition to compete for the country, so he had to be extra quiet and show his humility to the end.

Zhao Yu had the same mind with him, and said in a low voice, “My father has stabilized this time. There was a lot of fighting outside at that time, and I could vaguely hear the sound of killing in the backyard of the mansion. I was really afraid that my father couldn’t hold back. He also led troops into the capital, making the situation even more chaotic.

”

Fortunately, the Marquis of Puyang was not confused.

Otherwise, it’s not just the nine Meng family members who have been imprisoned now.

The fourth prince nodded: “Father-in-law doesn’t look very reliable on weekdays, but he can see clearly and make accurate judgments at critical times. It’s best if he doesn’t go into troubled waters, and the Zhao family can stay safe and rich for decades.”

Zhao Yu was a little tired, so she also got on the bed, carefully avoiding the fourth prince’s injury, and snuggled beside him: “The most pitiful is the sister-in-law.”

“Put yourself in the shoes and think about it. If I were the eldest sister-in-law, I would have to use Bai Ling to end myself.”

The fourth prince sighed: “Too many people have died these days. It’s not a good sign. I just hope that my sister-in-law will be stronger and survive this disaster.”

The husband and wife leaned head to head together and talked for a long time.

Unconsciously, the tiredness surged up, and the voice of speaking became smaller and smaller. Soon, the husband and wife fell asleep together.

…

The Great Prince’s Mansion.

The bad news came to the ears of the eldest prince one after another.

The pain was so extreme that the whole person seemed to be split in two.

Half of them were in excruciating pain, while the other half were unusually calm.

The calm self is looking at the painful self.

For half her life, she followed her father at home and her husband when she married.

Now my husband is dead, my father-in-law is dead, and my father is dead.

Her brother also died.

Her sky completely fell.

Strangely, she didn’t want to die at all.

She didn’t know anything and did nothing wrong, why should she accompany Li Yi to die?

The ants are still stealing their lives, it is better to die than live.

Even if he will be imprisoned for a lifetime in the future, he will never be able to leave this mansion.

She doesn’t want to die either.

The concubine, Li Tang, stayed by the side of the eldest prince and concubine.

Li Tang has been docile and obedient since he was a child. After two years of reading in the palace, he became more and more sensible.

Such a big thing happened in the palace, naturally, Li Tang couldn’t hide it.

Li Tang was terrified in his heart, and even more afraid that the eldest imperial concubine would not want to commit suicide.

The first prince was in a daze and he followed, and he also ate when she was eating.

She slept, and Li Tang didn’t leave, just slept on the narrow couch in the bedroom.

She made a slight movement, and Li Tang rushed over immediately.

At this moment, she sat in a daze, and unknowingly, tears flowed down her face.

Li Tang didn’t say anything, and silently took the veil to wipe her tears.

The eldest imperial concubine closed her eyes, then opened them: “Brother Tang, your grandfather died. He died at the hands of your father. Your grandfather was also killed by your father.”

“Your father must die. He brought it upon himself. In the future, the situation for our mother and son will be very difficult. When your second uncle comes back, if he is generous, he will leave our mother and son alive.”

“If he insists on committing the crime, we will both have to die.”
