Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 545
If the crown prince was terribly frightened by the old man who suddenly turned his head back, the one who was most afraid was not the crown prince, but Zhao Huan who was so close to the old man!
The moment the old man turned his head, he was shocked, and almost instinctively picked up a huge pottery clay pot and threw it at the old man viciously.

With a sound of "Boom--", the shattered pottery clay medicine jar shattered all over the ground, and the messy medicine residue inside was even scattered all over the ground.

The mess all over the ground blocked the prince's exclamation that was about to exclaim in his throat. After reacting, he quickly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Huan who was not far away, but saw that Zhao Huan was still standing there , The medicine dregs on his hand stood there in a daze, as if he was stupid.

This thing that succeeds more than fails!The prince was so angry that he couldn't help implicating himself, so he walked up to Zhao Huan and slapped him in two steps: "Your countryman, what are you doing?"

It was Zhao Huan who said that the old man was deaf, but it was also Zhao Huan who said the old man turned around and almost found the two of them.

What's even more troublesome now is that the old man lying on the ground with a blown head doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Zhao Huan, who had been slapped on the face, seemed to have been woken up. He turned around in a daze, touched his swollen face, ignored the prince's questioning, just squatted down, and stretched out his hand to feel the old man's pulse.

After a while, Zhao Huan spoke with a hoarse voice: "Alive!"

Alive... It's good to be alive!The prince heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at His Majesty who was lying there sleeping soundly, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get your things and leave!"

Zhao Huan didn't move, just stared at the old man for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the shattered pottery pot fragments on the side, paused, picked out a sharp crock pot fragment and took it in his hand.

This kind of action made the prince excited. Although people who don't like it never have to do it themselves, it doesn't mean that the prince doesn't understand the meaning of this move.

Seeing that Zhao Huan had picked up a piece of earthen pot, the prince quickly stepped forward and took Zhao Huan's hand, saying, "What are you doing? Father is still here!"

It's not about pity for the lives of innocent people, but that the father is here, so you have to restrain yourself before doing things.This is a habit he has developed for 20 years.

He has a natural fear of his father.

This kind of fear was not so much to Zhao Huan, he looked up at the crown prince, and said calmly: "He may have seen the two of us, we cannot let him live."

The hand holding Zhao Huan was released immediately. The prince looked at His Majesty who was drowsy and sleepy. He wiped Zhao Huan's hand on his robe just now, and was pushed back behind him. After a few steps, he retreated to the small door leading to the side hall again, coughed dryly, and said, "It's none of Gu's business, but Gu didn't see anything!"

After saying this, the prince quickly closed the small door, as if by closing the small door, everything that happened in the imperial study would have nothing to do with him.

Zhao was not surprised by the prince's words: it would be strange if the prince really said something responsible one day.

Right now, the crown prince is not interfering, and he is not going to let the old man in front of him go.It doesn't matter if he is a rare miracle doctor or a great person.Anyone who stands in his way will die!

The hand holding the crock pot trembled, and Zhao swallowed his saliva.

He hasn't killed anyone yet, but everyone has their first time, so there's nothing to be afraid of... He clenched the fragments of the crock pot tightly in his hand, looked at the old man lying on the ground, took a deep breath, and raised his hand suddenly , and stabbed at the old man who fell on the ground.

At the moment when the crock pot fragments were about to pierce the old man's body, a huge force hit his elbow, his head sank suddenly, Zhao Huan shook his drowsy head, and fell backwards.

The last scene before falling into darkness was a huge bloody gash on the old man's body, and the old man fell to the ground and opened his eyes.

Now, it is certain that the old miracle doctor really saw him.

Trouble!Zhao was still thinking before falling into darkness.

With a "plop", Zhao Huan, who had passed out, was thrown to the ground.The prince who was separated by a door didn't know anything about it.

Therefore, neither of the two of them saw the old man who had been drawn with a huge bloody gash and fainted again the moment he opened his eyes.

The candle flame flickered.

Everyone in the room was stunned and asleep, but no one was awake.

No one who was awake nor exclaimed at the person who suddenly appeared in the imperial study room.

Ji Chongyan glanced at the old genius doctor who passed out after being tapped on the ground, and after confirming that he was indeed passed out, he walked to the side of His Majesty who was sleeping and comatose.

Looking at His Majesty who was lying on the soft couch without knowing it, Ji Chongyan's eyes showed complex expressions, he paused, and soon became calm.

He took a deep breath, untied the sachet from His Majesty's waist, took away the things wrapped in layers and put it in his arms, and then threw the sachet and the satin brocade box beside it to the side in the pile of candles.

Seeing the flame of the candle devoured the silk brocade box and most of the sachet, Ji Chongyan turned around and walked towards a corner of the hall.The hall wall engraved with the real dragon soaring through the clouds and fog was pushed open at this moment. He stepped into the hall wall, and there was an inaudible opening and closing sound of the mechanism, and the hall wall retreated to its original position again.

Everything in the royal study is as usual.

The candlelight was still dim, but Ji Chongyan's steps were not slow, he walked through the dark corridor, reached the end, pushed away the floor tiles on the top, and reappeared in Xiangtai Hall.

That thing... that thing that can save Ayan is in his arms right now, and when the rain stops and he leaves the palace, he can take it out of the imperial city.

just wait...

Wait?Can't wait!Ji Chongyan lowered his brows, and there was a trace of sternness in his brows.

really!No matter how wise and mighty a king is, there will be times when he falls asleep, but this sleep will not last long.

Keeping people in this heavy rain is not as simple as just staying for an hour or two.

A thunderbolt from the sky tore through the night sky, the rain and fog were heavy, and several carts transporting waste materials from the palace were passing through the rain.

Even though it was pouring rain, these palace people with the lowest status still couldn't stop.

The nobles in the palace enjoy the first-class luxury life in the world, and they naturally don't see dirty things in their eyes.The waste in the imperial city must leave the palace every day, so as not to dirty the eyes of the nobles.

Wearing straw coir raincoats and walking through the palace roads in the rain, the palace people staggered and pushed the carts, and the little palace people holding umbrellas sighed repeatedly: "It's not me urging, it's these leftover peels and fruits that have to leave the palace every day." , the sky will become sour and smelly after covering it for a day, causing the nobleman to get angry, isn't it us who are unlucky?"

The palace people pushing the cart at the side responded repeatedly, and said helplessly: "My family thinks that I live a good life when I enter the palace, but they don't know that it is the nobles who enter the palace to live a good life, not us!"

The work in the palace is the same as the work outside, and even nobles with high vision are often more demanding.

The palace man pushing the scooter faintly felt that the umbrella above his head was shaking, and the rainwater that fell obliquely and hit his face made him unable to open his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked casually.

"The adults who were going to the Xiangtai Palace accidentally bumped into me." The palace man holding the umbrella touched the things in his arms, and moved the umbrella to his side, not daring to wet the things in his arms. He hurriedly said, "Don't dawdle, send it to the palace gate to handover with others, and come back early to rest!"

The palace man pushing the cart responded again and again and accelerated the speed of his feet.

The rain is still falling.

In the time of going back and forth, only one-third of a game of chess has been played.Everyone was fascinated, and it was Duke An's turn. Looking at Bai Zi, who was looming over his head, Duke An frowned, with a troubled look on his face.

"This son..."

"Grandfather." A clear voice sounded behind him, and Duke An, who was frowning and worrying, relaxed his brows when he heard the words, stood up, and said, "Brother Yan, come and marry grandfather!"

Such an upright tone... The grown-ups who watched the chess laughed: Is the Duke so open and aboveboard?

Mr. Liang, who was playing chess, said helplessly: "...Okay! The left and right players are all surnamed Ji, so it doesn't matter if they change."

Ji Chongyan took the sunspot in the hands of Duke An and dropped it, and began to concentrate on playing chess with Master Liang.

The chess game is getting better.

……

……

With a sound of "stab", the candle in the imperial study room burned to the wick, the candle flame jumped, and the lights in the entire imperial study room flickered.

The person lying on the soft bed opened his eyes.

……

……

The prince in the side hall was walking back and forth restlessly.

He already had two cups of tea, why hasn't Zhao come back?

Not only did he not come back, why was there no sound at all inside?Will something happen?
Although because of the fear and anxiety in his heart, the prince at this time is a little more patient than in the past.But this patience finally came to an end.

Finally, the prince, who couldn't hold back anymore, got up abruptly and walked towards the side door. His fingers touched the closed side door, and when he was about to push it, the door was powerless and pulled open by itself.

There was a thump in the prince's heart, and a bad feeling came to him spontaneously, but at this moment it was not up to him whether to open the door or not.

A thunderbolt tore through the dark sky, revealing the face that appeared behind the door.

His legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Father... Father Emperor!"

……

A sudden thunderbolt shocked the high-ranking officials who were playing chess, chatting, and reading scripts in the hall.It also shocked the two palace people who transported the waste material cart.

"There are many thunderstorms in summer, just get used to it!" The palace man holding the umbrella came to his senses first, and handed over to the two palace men waiting at the side entrance of the palace. The palace man nodded and patted the The palace man's shoulders seemed to comfort him, and then he took the cart of waste materials and walked out of the imperial city.

……

……

"Crack!" As the last sunspot fell, Bai Zi, who was killed and only half alive, was finally surrounded by inside and outside, unable to get out.

Mr. Liang reluctantly put the white pieces back into the chess box, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is good at chess!"

"That's natural!" An Guogong, who brought his eldest grandson to help him play chess, said proudly, "My brother is the best."

This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter.

While they were laughing, a palace official hurried in from outside the hall, and before he had time to greet him, he asked loudly, "Are all the adults here?"

The palace man's voice was much thinner than that of ordinary people, which was very eye-catching. The officials who were playing chess, reading scripts, and chatting in the palace all stopped their movements and looked at him.

The little palace man hurried in with rain all over his body, standing in the hall at this moment, the blanket under his feet was already soaked to a large extent.

Those who can enter the court and become high-ranking officials will naturally have good memory.This little palace man was left here by the chief eunuch to wait for orders, first he ran in and out to serve and help, his every move was very polite, he didn't dare to neglect everyone.

But at this moment, the little palace man who hurried in met them, and they didn't even have time to salute, but asked this question directly, with such an urgent look... Could it be that something happened?

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.But no one asked what happened, but said: "Several adults have gone to the room to pay respects."

The little palace man nodded and said, "I've already sent someone to look for it."

Such an eager attitude... All the officials looked at each other again, and their hearts were shocked.

The palace man didn't have time to speak to the officials, he just trotted out again, and after talking with the palace people outside, he came back and said: "My lords, let's go out of the palace slowly, the Holy Spirit has something to ask."

The Holy Majesty wants to ask questions... It seems that something really happened.

So... what happened?
After the palace people left, the officials began to speculate.

"Could it be that someone assassinated and wanted to catch the assassin?" someone said.

No matter how wise a king is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not offend others, and it is inevitable that there will be assassins.However, His Majesty who is in power now is not an ordinary king. His Majesty, who started his career with military exploits, was an out-and-out general star. What assassin can hurt him today?

They can't imagine.However, it can be seen from Xiao Gong's mouth that "the Holy Spirit has something to ask", His Majesty was not injured.

Even if he wasn't injured, the assassin still wanted to catch him.Everyone disagrees.

However, there are also people who hold different opinions on this.

"Assassination this day?" Dali Temple Qing Jifeng rubbed his chin, pointed to the rain where the little palace man was standing just now, and said, "Such heavy rain will fight with the guards, and then enter the imperial study to fight with His Majesty?"

Anyway, the rain blocked the line of sight and hindered the assassination. Anyway, if it was him, he would not choose this kind of day for the assassination.

Of course, Ji Feng's words were also reasonable, and many people made wild guesses, but none of them stood up.

However, the officials did not take it seriously: the left and right will know what happened sooner or later.

The two-hour thunderstorm passed by in a flash, and when the dark clouds in the dark sky cleared and gradually became white, Lu, who waited for a rain in the teahouse on the street, checked out and went out, got on his horse, touched the things in his arms, and quickly Run to the city gate.

The clouds gathered and the rain stopped, and the dark clouds over the imperial city dispersed, revealing the original color of the sky again.

The clear sky was exceptionally clear, but the officials and ministers waiting in the Golden Luan Hall were not in a good mood.

Heaven wants to keep people, there is no going back!

Of course, the sky to keep people is not the same as the sky to keep people two hours ago.

This day is the Son of Heaven.

His Majesty has ordered that officials in the Golden Luan Hall are not allowed to leave the palace without permission.
