Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 674: Life and death (1)
"Hey!"
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 about Li Chang and Li Yi, who have already gone to Huangquan, and Li Hao, who has stepped into the gate of hell, he has to be even more fortunate for his luck.
Zhao Yu sucked her nose and hummed in a 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 chambermaid 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 she 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 said with a long sigh: "There is chaos inside and outside the palace now. If King Xingyang stayed in the palace to stabilize the overall situation, I don't know what troubles would have caused. More things are worse than less. For the time being, you stay with me for the time being. After a while, my second brother will return to Beijing, and I will be able to stay here too, and our husband and wife will go to the East Palace together."
Zhao Yu responded in a low voice, then 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 also red: "I don't know. That night, I was sitting with my eldest brother drinking. I also told my eldest brother that I want to Enter the palace and ask the emperor to grant him a piece of feudal land. I want to take you, mother and son, to the feudal feudal land and stay away from 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 I think about this, the fourth prince fills up 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, seeing the fourth prince's expression of sorrow and self-blame, he immediately said: "The first prince secretly gathers people in the world, and he has long been unruly. Otherwise. , in a hurry, where did he find the drug, even the antidote with him!"
That's true.
The guilt of the fourth prince faded away, and he whispered: "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, you 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: "Second brother and I are brothers and have always gotten along in harmony. However, that was the past. It is impossible for a country to be without a ruler for a day, and the father and the emperor die. , When the second brother returns to Beijing, the first thing is to do the funeral, and the second is to enthrone the throne.”
"There is a difference between the ruler and the 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 has to hold his tail and bow his head to be a man.
Zhao Yu felt a little depressed and had nothing to say. After being bored for a while, he said, "Do you still want to go to the vassal?"
"Of course." The Fourth Prince smiled bitterly: "And the sooner you express your intentions, the better."
Less than arouse the fear of the East Palace faction.
The Meng family's army was 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 doesn't have the ambition to compete for the country, so he has 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 would hold back. If he couldn't stop, 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 men of the Meng family who are now in prison.
The fourth prince nodded: "Father-in-law doesn't seem to be reliable on weekdays, but he can see clearly and make accurate judgments at critical times. It's best that he doesn't go into troubled waters, and the Zhao family can stay safe and prosperous for decades."
Zhao Yu was a little tired, so she also got on the bed, carefully avoiding the fourth prince's injury, and snuggling beside him: "The most pitiful one is the sister-in-law."
"Put yourself in the shoes and think about it. If I were the elder sister-in-law, I would have to end myself with white silk."
The fourth prince sighed: "Too many people have died these days. It's really not a good sign. I just hope that my sister-in-law is stronger and can survive this disaster."
The couple leaned their heads together and talked for a long time. Before I knew it, the tiredness surged up, and the voice became smaller and smaller~IndoMTL.com~ Soon, the couple fell asleep together.
……
The Palace of the First Prince.
Bad news came into the ears of the eldest princess one after another.
The pain was so extreme, 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, my father is dead. Her brother also died.
Her sky is completely falling.
Oddly, she didn't want to die at all.
She didn't know anything, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she die with Li Yi?
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.
Li Tang, the concubine, stayed by the side of the eldest prince and concubine.
Li Tang has been docile and obedient since childhood. After two years of studying in the palace, he became more and more sensible.
If such a big incident happened in the palace, Li Tang naturally 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 eldest princess was in a daze and he followed in a daze, 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 unconsciously, tears flowed down her face. Li Tang didn't say anything, and silently took the veil to wipe her tears.
The eldest prince and concubine closed her eyes, then opened: "Brother Tang, your grandfather died. He died at the hands of your father. Your grandfather was also killed by your father."
"Your father didn't want to die, he brought it on himself. In the future, the situation for our mother and son will be very difficult. When your second uncle comes back, if he is magnanimous, he will leave our mother and son alive."
"If he insists on committing the crime, we will both die."
