Dahan first prince

Chapter 145 Hi, Broken Rib

The prince was assassinated in Changling!
With just seven words, the entire "Pan Chang'an" area surrounded by a hundred miles around Chang'an has been placed on high alert for more than half a month!

After Liu Ying was assassinated, the four city gates of Changling Town were closed indefinitely, and the whole city of Changling Town was under martial law in just a short time!
When Liu Ying was supported by Lu Shizhi, lying on the dilapidated prince's chariot, and sent to Changle, out of the 500 guards who accompanied Liu Ying, there were four hundred of them left behind. Team one, defend the four gates of Changling City!
And two hours later, when Liu Ying's chariot drove from Sima Gate into Weiyang Palace, and drove out of the Crown Prince's Palace non-stop, even the Changle, Weiyang Palaces, and even the Chang'an Arsenal were under martial law... ····

·
"Ugh······"

"Careless..."

Lying sideways on the soft couch, letting the old doctor stretch out his hand profusely with sweat, and gently cut the clothes on the side ribs, Liu Ying couldn't help but sighed a little while her heart was palpitating.

Not far from the soft couch where Liu Ying was lying, Empress Lu Zhi already had a man-eating appearance, staring straight at the hall with her wide-eyed eyes, the two kneeling figures... ·····
"five hundred······"

"Five hundred soldiers of the Southern Army!!!"

With a sudden yell, Lu Zhi suddenly turned his head to the side, looking at the general dressed as a school lieutenant, a layer of frost seemed to be scraped off his face.

"Five hundred soldiers from the Southern Army, who were born rich and battle-hardened, couldn't even guard against three or two assassins?!"

"The national treasury distributes military rations of hundreds of thousands of shi every year to send to the South Camp. Could it be for this?!"

"Your Majesty allocates tens of millions of military expenditures every year to obtain the Southern Army known as 'Brave in the World'!"

"Could it be that His Majesty raised him, even Naier and others are so useless, inferior to assassins, and brazenly claiming to be the 'No. [-] Army in the World'!!!!!!"

Hearing Lu Zhi unreservedly venting his anger on himself, the general didn't dare to lift his head, and prostrated himself on the ground full of humiliation, pressing his forehead against the cold ground.

"minister······"

"capital offense!"

Seeing the general lying motionless by his feet, Lu Zhi became even more angry, turned his head abruptly, and looked at his elder brother Lu Shizhi at the side.

It's just that Lu Zhi didn't give Lu Shizhi any of the respect that juniors had for their elder brothers in the past.

"After completion."

With an extremely cold tone of voice, when Lu Shizhi, who was prostrate on the ground, shivered slightly, he saw Lu Shizhi lowered his head with a gloomy face.

"When the prince is about to leave Chang'an, how can I entrust you?"

"Why do I send Hou Jiancheng to the South Camp to transfer five hundred guards here?"

Hearing this question from Lu Zhi's tone without the slightest warmth, Lu Shizhi only buried his head a little deeper, and his face was full of shame from an angle that was invisible to everyone.

"Family, when I was about to leave, the queen said: Spring is coming, and Chang'an is near, fear, fear that there may be turmoil..."

"The Queen's servants are accompanying, take more precautions along the way to protect..."

"Humph!!!"

Just as Lu Shizhi was halfway through speaking, Lu Zhi let out another cold snort.

"I thought that the prince's uncle, the Marquis of Jiancheng, is so thorough in protecting my nephew!"

There was another angry roar, and Lu Zhi turned his body full of sullenness, pointing his finger at the soft couch, grinning, enduring the pain of pulling out the arrow to Liu Ying.

"I, only this one!"

"If there is a mistake, how can I survive after completion!!!"

"Don't you want me to weep in the cold palace, and when I see King Zhao, I will become the heir, and Qi Ji, that lowly maidservant, will become the empress!!!!!!"

There were several hysterical roars in succession. Apart from Lu Zhi and the imperial physician in front of the soft couch, there was no third face in the hall that was not pressed to the floor.

"Sigh~"

Even the old doctor in front of Liu Ying seemed to be frightened by Lu Zhi's anger, and his hand trembled subconsciously, causing Liu Ying to grit his teeth in pain.

Hearing Liu Ying's soft hiss, he turned around abruptly, and looked at Liu Ying who was on the soft couch, Lu Zhi's expression finally showed a tendency to be slightly angry.

Seeing Lu Pheasant approaching anxiously, seeing that the old doctor was still busy with work, he stomped his feet anxiously.

After a while, when the old imperial doctor carefully held an arrow with both hands and threw it into the copper basin filled with hot water beside the soft couch, Lu Zhi finally couldn't hold back his worry anymore. , hurried forward.

"how?!"

"The prince's injury, is there a serious problem?!!!"

She asked anxiously. Although Lu Zhi's face was not distorted, Liu Ying could clearly hear: there was already a little choking in the old lady's voice...
"Um······"

But seeing that the old doctor heard the words, he didn't answer in a hurry, but stared at the blood flower gradually spreading in the copper basin for a long time.

After confirming that there was no problem, the old doctor let out a long sigh of relief, and didn't bother to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, but hurriedly stood up, and bowed heavily to Lu Zhi.

"To the Queen."

"The injury at home is the seventh rib on the left side."

"Thanks to His Majesty's protection, the arrow did not pass between the ribs, but only entered the left seven ribs a little half an inch."

"Although this rib has been broken by the arrow, it has not hurt the lungs."

As he spoke, the old doctor turned his body slightly, and pointed to the basin filled with scarlet water filled with arrows.

"The minister threw an arrow into the water again, and saw the blood scattered in the water but did not see blackness, so it was assumed that the arrow head was not poisoned."

"That's why my family has only broken a rib and lost a little blood; and in the past, I was also a little weak."

"The minister is already in the position of broken ribs. In the next ten months, the family only needs to take a little heat-clearing soup, use the medicine for gold sores on the wound, rest for several months, and eat more nourishing meat. Yu..."

Hearing the old doctor's diagnosis, before Lu Zhi could react, there was a rather heavy gasp in the hall.

——Hearing that Liu Ying is fine, almost everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief...
But Liu Ying didn't care about the expressions of the people in the hall at all, she just lay sideways on the soft couch, looked at her old lady Lu Zhi with tears in her eyes, and slowly walked towards herself with shame.

"Mother..."

"baby······"

Opening her mouth a little, she wanted to try to explain, but looking at Lu Zhi's miserable face that looked like she was reborn after a catastrophe, Liu Ying wanted to say something again, but finally she had to lower her head with averted eyes.

"I know I was wrong..."

Seeing Liu Ying bowed her head with grievance, Lu Zhi could no longer hold back the grief in her heart, and two lines of tears burst out of her eyes.

"My son~"

With a soft cry in a crying voice, Lu Shi subconsciously stepped forward, and when he realized it, he jumped back hastily like a startled rabbit!
After hesitating for a long time with an anxious expression on his face, Lu Zhi finally stepped forward cautiously, but he didn't dare to sit on the soft couch at all, so he just squatted down in front of the couch, holding Liu Ying's right hand with a mournful expression.

"In this deep palace, my mother is lonely. If my son makes another mistake, how can I let my mother live..."

Weeping softly and whispering a little, Lu Zhi stretched out his hand full of pity, and stopped at a height of one foot above the wound on Liu Ying's side rib.

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Liu Ying suddenly felt a sense of guilt...

After trying to calm herself down, Liu Ying squeezed out a stiff smile, trying to comfort Lu Zhi's almost collapsed mood.

"Mother, don't worry about the queen mother."

"Just now, the imperial physician ordered me not to say: My son only broke one rib, but if he cultivates himself well, there will be no serious problems?"

But when Lu Zhi heard this, the valve controlling tears was opened a little wider.

"Mo Yan's rib is a piece of hair, a piece of skin, and it is also the flesh that fell from his mother..."

"Seeing my son suffering and helpless, mother, how can you not feel sad~"

Said full of grief, Lu Zhi couldn't help beating his chest, and the low sobs before had a tendency to turn into howls.

The old lady was in great pain, Liu Ying already had mixed feelings in her heart, seeing Lu Zhi's behavior again, she finally had to force herself to smile, propped her arms, and tried to stand up a little bit.

"Don't move!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ying supported her right elbow, she was lightly held down by Lu Zhi at a loss, as if she wanted to use force urgently, but did not dare to use force indiscriminately, she lightly pressed Liu Ying's shoulder and lay back.

"My son must not move too much, so I have to rest and rest."

"In the future, mother will still wait for my son to marry a wife, give birth to a son, and bring the emperor's grandson in person, so that mother can enjoy the joy of having children and grandchildren around her knees..."

As he said that, Lu Zhi's emotions that had calmed down just a moment ago became slightly agitated, and tears rolled down from his eyes again.

Seeing this, Liu Ying had no choice but to give up struggling, lay down on the soft couch obediently, pursed her slightly pale lips, and smiled at Lu Zhi.

"Before leaving, my uncle warned my son again and again: This trip may change, so we should be cautious."

"However..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying quietly stopped talking, glanced in the direction of Changle Palace, and then smiled awkwardly.

"I never thought that I would be so courageous..."

When the old lady gently grabbed her hand with a sad face, Liu Ying smiled again and looked at Lu Shizhi, who was still kneeling in the hall, and the Southern Army general.

"This trip, uncle has fulfilled his mission, and the whole school captain has never left his post without authorization."

"It's all because of carelessness, so there is a mistake."

"If you look back on your mother, don't blame your uncle and Quan Xiaowei."

"If not, I should be even more ashamed..."

Seeing Liu Ying turning her head with some effort, still not forgetting to excuse her uncle Lu Shizhi and Quan Xu, the captain of the Southern Army's First Division, Lu Zhi nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, everything is fine."

"As long as my son is safe, everything will be fine..."

Seeing that the old lady's mood had stabilized a bit, Liu Ying also thought about it for a while, and then looked at Lu Zhi again.

"Furthermore, just this time, my son was assassinated."

"The Tian family in Changling used to store grain in a strange way, driving up the price of grain. They wanted to punish them, but they were innocent..."

Seeing that Liu Ying was still thinking about these things, Lu Zhi closed his eyes sadly, stood up straight from the soft couch, and pushed Liu Ying back to lie down.

"Having suffered such severe injuries, my son just needs to rest well..."

"The rest of the things are all about the queen mother, huh?"
