Chapter 276
"In my opinion, who did this?"

The emperor inquired calmly, the first person he suspected was the people of Haoyue Kingdom, but now that Haoyue Kingdom has requests from the Yuan Dynasty, it is impossible to do such a thing.

Li Jing met the emperor's eyes and smiled lightly.

"Father, how can you not see that there are people in Da Yuan who don't want Seventh Brother to come back?"

Li Jing pointed it out directly, but Li Jing couldn't figure out who it was.

"Who do you think it will be?"

The emperor continued to ask, Li Jing smiled calmly.

"Father actually didn't doubt me this time."

He could clearly feel the emperor's intentions, but he just found it extremely funny.

When he hoped that the emperor would see him clearly, the emperor dismissed him and only had the mediocre prince in his heart.

Now the emperor wanted to use him and showed his trust in him.

"Why do you have a temper with your mother and concubine? I put down my face to ask for peace, so you can't give me face."

The emperor sighed helplessly, Li Jing didn't like this at all.

"Father, just open your mouth if you have anything to do, there is no need to go around in circles."

Although the emperor didn't like Li Jing's direct way of speaking, he couldn't refuse it. If Li Jing used excuses to ignore him, the loss would not be worth the gain.

"I hope to meet Lao Qi in person."

If it is said that among the many children, the emperor really only believes in the prince and Li Jing, but Li Jing's ability is much higher than that of the prince. He once thought about abandoning Li Jing in order to preserve the position of the prince, but even if he can protect the prince For a while, how could he protect him forever.

His health is already failing. After his death, who can protect the prince, I am afraid that the prince's temper will be manipulated by treacherous officials, and in the end he will become a tool of others.

On the other hand, Li Jing, although he was ruthless, he was not a ruthless person. The emperor saw him through. Among many children, only Li Jing had the talent of an emperor and could forgive other siblings.

Concubine Xian turned her face several times, which made the emperor understand many things and secretly made up his mind.

Li Jing looked at the emperor and smiled lightly.

"Why is father so sure that the person who chased and killed the seventh brother was not sent by me."

Li Jing asked directly, but the emperor shook his head directly, looking firmly at Li Jing.

"That person may be anyone, but it will not be you and the prince."

The prince's benevolence, on the contrary, appears to be the benevolence of a woman. Although Li Jing is decisive, he never hurts the innocent.

"Is this the royal father's compliment to his son?"

Li Jing asked, since he was young, no matter what he did, he could not compare with the crown prince. This was the first time he heard words of praise from the emperor.

"Yes."

The emperor's direct and affirmative response was not to coax Li Jing into doing things for him, but an answer from the heart.

Li Jing's heart fluctuated, but his face was calm.

"How about, let's play a game of chess. If the father wins me, I will bring the seventh brother back alive. If I win, the father should hire someone else."

"Okay, I have the same intention."

Father and son played chess, each move carefully, Li Jing had the chance to win, the emperor couldn't help frowning and thinking about his fierce chess moves, and became more cautious in his moves.

Li Jing looked at the frowning look on the emperor's face, and finally released the water, and the emperor won by a narrow margin.

"During the time when I'm not here, please protect my concubine mother and Yuexi."

He left after leaving a word. The emperor looked at his back with a gratified smile on his lips.

He knew that Li Jing would definitely go back to pick up the Seventh Prince.

After Li Jing left the palace, he took people away and went straight to the border. In order to facilitate the treatment, he directly took the honest monk with him.

It doesn't matter to the honest monk, after all, he is a wandering monk, and he is the same everywhere.

When they arrived at the border in two days, they received a letter from the border guards. They found the seventh prince, but the situation of the seventh prince was not very good.

Li Jing didn't care about the difficulty, so he rushed over overnight. After three days' journey, he rushed there in one day.

When he saw the Seventh Prince, he couldn't believe it. He was scratched by a tree branch when he fell off the cliff, and there were more than a dozen knife point wounds on his body, large and small.

Although the military doctor saved his life, it is unknown when he will wake up.

Li Jing hurriedly asked the honest monk to check on Li Yan, the honest monk took his pulse, frowned to feel the pulse, and let go after a long time helplessly.

"The sword wound on the Seventh Prince's body was not fatal, but he injured the back of his head when he fell off the cliff. Right now, I'm not sure when he woke up."

The honest monk sighed helplessly, the Seventh Prince's injury was too serious, even he had no certainty of being able to cure him.

"Master, you must wake him up."

Li Jing had always felt faintly that in the capital, someone was using tricks in the dark. He had been trying to find out the whole person, but there was no clue for a long time.

If the Seventh Prince wakes up, maybe he will gain something.

"I can only say that I will try my best. As for the effect, please don't expect too much from the Fourth Prince."

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment when it fails in the end.

Li Jing nodded, understanding the meaning of the honest monk, "Master, do your best."

The honest monk treated the Seventh Prince, the wound has already been covered with ointment, just waiting for it to heal, as for the big bump on the back of the Seventh Prince's head, the honest monk is most worried.

The back of the head is smooth and curved, but the back of the Seventh Prince's head is so swollen that the honest monk dare not let the blood out rashly. If other complications are caused, it will be the crime of murdering the prince.

Even though he was a monk and looked down on life and death, he didn't want to die so innocently.

After the honest monk treated the Seventh Prince, he approached Li Jing for discussion.

"Fourth Prince, I really can't complete the treatment for the Seventh Prince by myself. Why don't we wait for the Seventh Prince's condition to stabilize, and we return to the capital to discuss the treatment method with the imperial doctors and make a decision?"

The honest monk is going back to the capital to treat the seventh prince, which has another meaning. If the seventh prince has an accident during the treatment, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will take advantage of it and put a big hat on Li Jing.

Li Jing is thankless, even if he is a monk, he can't bear to see such a situation.

Li Jing nodded, "It's just according to the master."

The soldiers in the army arranged for a group of people to rest, but Li Jing did not feel sleepy for a long time. Now that he is in the army, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to hurt the seventh prince. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely punish him for his negligence.

He came to the room where the Seventh Prince was sitting, sat by the bed and looked at Li Yan. The adult Li Yan had changed a lot from the young one when he left.

Although Li Jing never mentioned him, he knew everything about him well.

He had a good life in Haoyue Kingdom, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen when he was about to go home.
