The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1139 Escape
Wu Wu looked at Qin Yingyuan steadfastly, and suddenly smiled.

"What is the princess doing? His Royal Highness is in good health, how could he die soon? The princess should stop talking nonsense, so as not to be heard by interested people."

Wu Wu calmly continued to put away the chess pieces, not at all moved by Qin Yingyuan's words.

In fact, his heart has already been turned upside down, but he still can't let Qin Yingyuan see it.

"Am I talking nonsense? The third uncle has his own decision in his mind. As I said just now, who can predict the ending until the last move? In the past when I played chess with you, you always won easily. I beat you just as easily."

Qin Yingyuan helped clean up Bai Zi, and groaned in her heart.The third uncle was unmoved, as if he didn't believe her words at all, but she had already seen that the other party's heart was definitely not at peace.

She is not a child, so she will not aim at nothing.Especially in this case, how could it be nonsense?

Didn't the third uncle use this to cover up his own shock?Unexpectedly, the third uncle is now extremely deep in the city.

Wu Wu raised his hand to signal that the two would have another round, but Qin Yingyuan did not refuse.

"Why does the princess want to disturb the mind of the poor monk again? The poor monk has already left the world of mortals, and is used to lecturing scriptures and chanting the Dharma every day, and he does not want to go back to the past. .”

Wu Wu shook his head and said softly to Qin Yingyuan.

Qin Yingyuan took a look at the opponent's move, this time the opponent walked very smoothly, the move was not chaotic at all, and the arrangement was calmly arranged.

Even compared to the previous sharp moves, this time the opponent has lost their sharpness.There is no killing on the chessboard, only peace.

Qin Yingyuan raised her head to look at Wu Wu, seeing the smile on the other side, she couldn't help frowning.

"Isn't the third uncle not moved at all? Don't you wonder why the prince's uncle died soon? What about Brother Hong? He misses his father every day, it's really pitiful."

Qin Yingyuan was not reconciled, could Buddhism really make people give up the obsessions in their hearts, and end the world's worries?
"Life and death have their destiny. People will die. It's just the difference between sooner and later. Now that the poor monk has become a monk, the previous troubles have nothing to do with the poor monk."

Wu Wu did not ask why the prince died soon, nor did he mention his youngest son, as if he really devoted himself to the Buddha and no longer cared about mundane affairs.

The princess watched the other party's expression carefully, and couldn't help feeling frustrated.Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, she picked up the white piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

"Princess, you lost!" Wu Wu smiled, pointed at the princess's white son, and shook his head helplessly.

Qin Yingyuan looked at the chessboard, and saw that her white pieces were being pressed by the black pieces every step of the way, unable to avoid it.

The entire chess game hides an assassination game, and she should have walked tremblingly, like walking on thin ice.But I don't want her to be absent-minded and make moves at will, but she can still persist until now.

She laughed suddenly, and then said: "Third Uncle's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and Rong Jia is far behind him now."

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience!"

De'an handed the medicine bottle to the emperor, watched the emperor pour down a pill, and quickly handed over tea.

Xiaoquanzi entered Chengqian Palace with low eyebrows and reported to the tired emperor.

The emperor's spirit is better these days than before, he nodded, "Let him come in!"

The prince hurried into Chengqian Palace, his face was gloomy, and there was a bit of eagerness on his face.

"My son sees my father!"

"Pingshen! Why are you in such a hurry, you still have to enter the palace at this time?" The emperor looked lazily, and leaned against the pillow behind him.

There seemed to be some inexplicable emotions hidden in his eyes looking at the prince, but the prince didn't pay attention at all at the moment.

"Father! My son got the news, and Daoist Tianji is missing." The prince raised his head to look at the emperor, and then lowered his head again.

Although reporting this matter to the father would make the father dissatisfied with him.After all, he sent someone to spy on Daoist Tianji because he questioned his father's decision.

But now he can't control so much anymore. The previous agreement was five days, but now three days have passed.

He had thought about this time limit before. From here to Taoist Priest Tianji's school, it only takes five days for the pigeons to pass the letter. Even if they are delayed on the road, it cannot exceed five days.

He was impatient, and had sent another man to follow the code left by the previous hidden guard to find it.It's just that three days have passed, and the people sent out early this morning have returned without success.

They lost the code when they walked halfway. They lingered in the place where the code disappeared for a day, but still found nothing, so they had to go back the same way.

The emperor sat up from the couch, his eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't help but panic, "How did you know that Taoist Tianji disappeared? Did you send someone to follow them?"

The emperor was a little dissatisfied with the prince's move, but this is not the time to care about these things.

The most important thing right now is whether Taoist Master Tianji has returned to the teacher's school?Or was it true that the other party escaped as the prince said?

But before he had obviously received a letter from the guard, the seal on it could not be wrong.It is said that everything is going well, and within three days, he will be able to return to the teacher's gate.

"My son was not at ease with Daoist Tianji going out this time, so he sent two secret guards to follow him just in case. It was agreed to send back a message on the fifth day, but now it has been eight days. There is still no news. And the servants sent people to investigate later, and they came back to report that they had lost track of the Taoist priest, and even the hidden guards sent to follow him before were gone."

The hidden guard was probably in danger, and the prince was very worried about this matter.If Daoist Tianji had really escaped, then there must be something wrong with the pills he gave his father.

Even imperial physicians and folk masters have nothing to do with this poison, thinking that it is not poison, which shows that this poison is rare.

Daoist Tianji is in such a hurry to escape, could it be that the toxins in the emperor's body are about to be overwhelmed?

Thinking of this, the prince looked at his father with worry in his eyes.

The emperor's face changed, and he seemed to think of something, "De'an! Quick, send someone to look for the code to check."

What the prince can think of, the emperor can think of as well.At this moment, he is more panicked than the prince, maybe it is an illusion, he feels that his body is very cold at this moment.

De'an was also frightened, he quickly took orders, and was about to go out to give orders immediately.

The emperor suddenly felt a little itchy in his throat, as if there was a foreign object blocking his throat.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spewed out, and the veins in the emperor's right hand holding the couch were exposed, and then he closed his eyes and fell down.

The eyes of the crown prince and De'an opened wide, and then De'an and the prince's exclamations sounded in the hall.

"Father!" "Your Majesty!"

Xiaoquanzi and the guards outside the hall rushed in quickly, Xiaoquanzi saw the emperor lying on the kang with his eyes closed and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

And there was a dark red bloodstain on the dragon and phoenix brocade quilt on the couch, and he was immediately shocked.
