Chapter 112: Concentration! Concentration! Concentration!
Concubine Li Xian's face turned pale, her hairpins were askew and her hair was in disarray. She fell to the ground, panting and hugging the emperor's thighs, crying and begging, "Your Majesty, please calm down! ...
Heng'er was just angry about being humiliated by the Fourth Prince last year, and wanted to teach him a lesson.
I have never had the intention to kill my brothers! ..."
The emperor looked at his beloved concubine crying sadly at his feet, and suddenly felt disgusted!
She actually knew about this. Did she and her own son discuss this?
This beloved concubine, who is usually considerate and understanding of the emperor's intentions, actually conspired with her own son to plot against other princes just because of a little grudge between brothers?
I am so disappointed!
The emperor was so angry that he kicked Concubine Li away!
The voice was icy, "Pass on my decree. Concubine Li Xian, who has failed to educate her children, is not fit to be in charge of the harem. She is ordered to return to the palace and reflect on her mistakes!
Escort the Third Prince Zhao Heng back to his palace and confine him for three months!"
Is this palace going to fall out of favor? Concubine Li Xian was so frightened that her face turned pale and her heart was pounding!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Don't do it!... I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, don't do it!..." Concubine Li cried and begged in panic, but was dragged out by the eunuch.
Upon hearing this punishment, Prince Xiang Zhao Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His father now believed that it was not him who sent people to kill Prince Ji. He was escorted back to the palace and put in solitary confinement.
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi, who was standing silently by the side, was ecstatic!
[Fourth brother really deserved to die! Although the third brother was not pinned with this huge scapegoat, he was still hated and loathed by the emperor in the short term.
Now that Concubine Li, who was once the most favored concubine in the harem, has fallen out of favor, the emperor's father has become resentful of her. In the future battle for the throne, the eldest prince and the third prince will have lost their greatest helper!
My chances of winning have increased significantly. 】
The eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo felt sad. Why couldn't the royal brothers get along with each other in a friendly way?
Will we brothers one day have to go through the bloody battles of fighting for the throne? Is this throne really that good?
The emperor looked at the expressions of his two sons and sighed in his heart!
[The eldest son Yuan Zuo is intelligent and filial, but he is too soft-hearted. How can he avoid being bullied by powerful officials and sit firmly on the throne?
The second son, Yuan Xi, has a ruthless temperament, which is quite to my liking, but his self-cultivation is so poor. Can he win the hearts of the court officials?
Even if the fourth son Yuanfen had not died, he would still be useless and difficult to convince the public.
The third son, Zhao Heng? He seems honest on the surface, but he is calculating inside. However, he lacks the wisdom and strategy of an emperor. Not to mention expanding the territory, can he defend the country surrounded by powerful enemies?
Why is it that none of my sons can surpass Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who is as talented in both civil and military affairs, as resolute and wise, and deeply loved by the people?
King Qin, I must get rid of you to ensure that the throne will not return to Taizu's lineage.
However, most of the important officials in the court are still people who are deeply favored by Emperor Taizu, and many of them are loyal to the King of Qin. How can it be easy to get rid of him legitimately?
He was poisoned but saved by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. Yuan Xi hired martial arts masters to assassinate him more than ten times, and each time they failed and never returned.
Alas! I hope that this time he will be infected with smallpox in the epidemic area of Yanzhou and die!
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi looked at his father's uncertain expression and tried to guess the emperor's intentions.
"Father, would you like to order Master Cheng to interrogate the other guards of my third brother? To see if what my third brother said is true?"
The emperor glanced sharply at his son who was scheming and plotting to sow discord.
After hesitating for a moment, he obediently gave an order to Cheng Wuya who was waiting beside him!
"Wuya, take your men to Prince Xiang's mansion and interrogate the guards one by one to get a definite answer."
Cheng Wuya had a blank expression on his face. He bowed and took the order before leaving!
...............
Mo Yan rushed to Yanzhou without stopping and reported the events in the capital to the prince!
After listening to Mo Yan's story, King Qin Zhao Defang took the strange yellow object and played with it carefully.
The corners of his lips curved up, [Li'er, no matter you are a fairy from the immortal world or a demon from the demon world, you are my beloved princess.]
"Mo Yan, you disguised yourself as the king and said you were infected with the virus and stayed in this camp. The king is going back to the capital to see the princess."
Mo Yan bowed and accepted the order!
Qin Wang Zhao Defang took two shadow guards and quietly left Yanzhou. ...
The officials in Yanzhou City were terrified. Just when the epidemic was about to be brought under control, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was infected with the plague.
The prefect Cai Kun was feeling anxious, wondering if the dose of cowpox that the evil-handed poison doctor gave to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was too large that day?
People who have been vaccinated have some uncomfortable reactions, but none of the symptoms are serious and they return to normal after two or three days.
Only His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin showed symptoms of plague. How can this not be worrying?
The ghost-handed poison doctor came out of the house and glared with his little triangular eyes!
: "What are you all standing here for? Can you cure illnesses or save lives? Go and do what you need to do!"
Cai Kun and the others dared not speak out, so they could only bow and say, "I'll ask Mr. Ghost Hand to carefully treat His Royal Highness Prince Qin's condition."
The officials were worried but there was nothing they could do and they could only focus on fighting the epidemic.
Prince of Qin Zhao Defang was rushing to the capital in a hurry. The "Dark Cloud Covering Snow" he was riding was indeed a rare BMW in the world.
His four hooves were as fast as flying and his endurance was great. Soon after he left the city, he had left the two shadow guards far behind and they could no longer be seen.
At midnight, the King of Qin arrived at the city wall of the capital.
At this time, the city gates were closed, and the King of Qin dismounted in front of a rice shop just outside the city.
The grain store owner closed the gate, bowed and asked in a low voice, "Prince, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang threw the reins to him and said, "I have something to do in the city. Please feed it some fodder."
The shopkeeper took the horse away, but the King of Qin ran straight into the house and entered the city through a secret tunnel.
After coming out of the tunnel exit in a courtyard in the city, he said hello to his subordinates who were waiting there, then used his lightness skills to head straight for the Prince of Qin's Palace.
Yun Yi was patrolling the secret post outside Ning Xinyuan in the palace. After hearing the noise, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he drew his sword and jumped onto the roof to meet the enemy!
"It's me!" Qin Wang Zhao Defang shouted in a low voice!
Yun Yi recognized the prince's voice, and quickly stopped, put away his sword and bowed!
"Your Highness, why did you return to the capital? I sent Mo Yan to Yanzhou to report to you that the princess assassinated the Prince of Ji. Have you seen him?"
"I see! Yun Yi, you stay here, I will go in to see the princess."
As Qin Wang Zhao Defang said this, he jumped up and leaped onto the high wall of Ning Xinyuan.
Luo Li was sleeping in a daze, and she felt as if a hand was touching her face. She was so scared that she screamed!
:"ah!……"
Prince Qin Zhao Defang quickly withdrew his hand, thinking that the princess was too alert. My hand just touched your pretty face, and I haven't felt how it feels yet.
"Princess, don't be afraid! It's the prince who has come back to see you!"
Luo Li kicked over with sleepy eyes!
: "Get lost! You scared me to death!..."
Ruhua and Siyu, who were waiting in the outer room, were also awakened!
He stood up and rushed into the house, "Miss! What's wrong with you?"
Hong Gu in the west room was also alarmed. She grabbed the steel sword on the bedside and rushed over.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang's handsome face flushed, and he explained to the three people who rushed into the room, "It's me! I'm worried about the princess, so I came back to the capital to see her overnight."
Ruhua patted her chest which was pounding with fear and said jokingly, "My Lord, did you come back on a sacred eagle? This speed is unparalleled in the world."
Siyu lit the candles and joked, "Did the prince return through burrowing underground? He entered the house so quietly that it was scary."
Luo Li suddenly jumped off the bed!
Like an angry little bird, she pointed at the King of Qin and asked in a stern voice, "King of Qin, you dog! Did you get into my boudoir from the tunnel?
"Speak! Are you planning to do something bad and molest me?"
The King of Qin was so frightened that he quickly denied it, "Princess, calm down. I jumped in through the window. I have never dug into the tunnel in this room."
Luo Li looked at the torn curtains on the propped-up window and kicked him angrily!
: "Why did you sneak in like a pervert and touch my face?"
Ruhua and Siyu smiled and walked out. Hong Gu glared at King Qin and also walked out.
The handsome face of the Prince of Qin Zhao Defang, who was caught in the act, turned red, but he looked at the angry princess lovingly, and coaxed her softly with his magnetic and pleasant voice. "Li'er, I was really worried about you, so I came back to see you overnight.
Li'er, promise me that you won't be so reckless and put yourself in danger again.
If anyone with evil intentions dares to bully you again, I will personally avenge you!"
Luo Li's heartstrings seemed to be plucked, and her heart was beating wildly!
Her face was hot and her heart was beating fast, and her cheeks were flushed. She looked at the King of Qin, who was covered in dust and had eyes full of concern and tenderness. She didn't have the heart to retort with the words "be self-reliant and stand tall".
He just shouted in anger!
: "Have you finished reading? If you have, get out of here!"
Luo Li turned back to the bed, threw herself on it, buried her hot cheeks in the pillow, and shouted again in a muffled voice!
"There are some leftover cakes and roast duck in the kitchen. After you finish eating, hurry back to Yanzhou!"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang felt so happy that he seemed to have drunk a bowl of honey water. His eyes were full of tenderness and love. "Okay! Princess, you can continue to sleep! I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat and then go back to Yanzhou."
Reluctantly, he took another look at the delicate body lying on the bed, and with a sweet smile on his face, King Qin Zhao Defang jumped out of the window again.
Luo Li's heart was pounding for a long time before it gradually calmed down.
[I am not a naive love-brained person, but this dog King Qin is so charming that it is too hard to resist when he flirts with me.
Focus! Focus! Focus!
But don't lose your life for a short period of love!
I was reborn as a person, and with great difficulty, I was reborn as the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. I haven’t had enough of the wealth and glory and the love and care of my parents in this life!
You must cultivate your concentration and not be tempted by the handsome and charming King Qin again. 】
