Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 254 King Ye ([-])

"What you said is true?!"

King Ye could no longer stand up now. He ignored being looked at with strange eyes and ordered the palace servants to lift up the black gauze curtain on his body. His eyes were red and he said: "Where is it? Where is my son?!"

The minister who retreated to the side was shocked when he heard this. His expression changed several times, and he suddenly understood.

The general's wife insisted on bringing an entourage into the palace this time, which was one of the strange things.

Looking at this person's dress, temperament, and speech, he didn't look like an ordinary follower. Especially, this "entourage" looked very similar to King Ye when he was young. He secretly paid attention to it at the time, and planned to conduct a thorough investigation afterwards, but now... …

But he suddenly realized that he was...

Zheng Quchi tilted his head and turned around, shouting in the direction outside the hall.

"come in."

But when he saw Yuan Xingzhou walking steadily in, his skin color was as white as a creature in the dark in the dim light, and his dark eyebrows were numb and indifferent. He raised his head and glanced at King Ye gloomily, but his eyes fell again in an instant. .

"Xingzhou... I have met my father."

When King Ye saw him, he was shocked on the spot.

In the air, the incense floating in the air seems to be more intense. The aroma climbs lazily along the yellow wall beams, but the expressions on the faces of the palace officials and ministers are very wonderful, surprised and shocked... Zheng Quchi is He frowned, secretly slowed down his breathing, and even wanted to use his sleeves to cover his nose.

Can't they all smell it?
Or have they become accustomed to this disgusting smell?
After being lost for a long time, King Ye suddenly took a deep breath. He pressed his chest and said: "Yue Qun, go and look at the back of his neck, the back..."

The minister, Huai Yuequn, immediately nodded and bowed, followed King Ye's command, and walked quickly to Yuan Xingzhou.

It was only when he got closer and compared the two that he realized that Yuan Xingzhou was very tall. He stretched out his hand to check, but if the other person didn't deliberately bend down and lower his head, he wouldn't be able to look at him.

But if Yuan Xingzhou is really the eldest prince, Huai Yuequn has no right to ask him to bow his head. This is a disrespectful act.

Just when he was in trouble, Zheng Quchi spoke. She said to King Ye: "Your Majesty, this young master has suffered some trauma. The road was bumpy when he came here, so he will inevitably be tired. It is better to bring him a stool to rest, which will also be more convenient for him. Please check the authenticity."

These words immediately relieved Huaiyue Qun. After he glanced at Zheng Quchi gratefully, he quickly asked upwards: "Your Majesty..."

King Ye didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said, "Yes."

The palace attendants brought a round stool for Yuan Xingzhou to sit on. At this time, Huai Chaoqun went around behind him and opened his collar to take a look. When he saw the birthmark, his pupils dilated instantly: "Your Majesty, it's , Yes, there is a red mark..."

After hearing this, King Ye was not as excited as before, and he didn't even react much. He then said, "Then check his legs. Is there an old scar on his right calf?"

In addition to the red birthmark, are there any old scars?
When Zheng Quchi heard this, he looked at Yuan Xingzhou, wanting to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, King Ye deliberately left something to be desired in the search for the eldest prince. He never mentioned this matter in the news he released to the outside world. It was clear that he planned to keep a more critical piece of information undisclosed to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters. , confusing the real with the fake.

Huai Chaoqun quickly responded: "Yes."

Huai Yuequn squatted in front of Yuan Xingzhou and carefully lifted up his pants to check his legs. He saw that his right calf was smooth and clean, with no scars at all. He was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to react for a long time.

King Ye didn't see his reply for a long time, so he asked aloud: "How?"

"Back to the king..." Huai Chaoqun turned around in surprise: "There are no wounds."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zheng Quchi was in disbelief, but other palace officials present could not hide the surprise and confusion on their faces.

King Ye had no expression on his face, staring at Yuan Xingzhou, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

"I'm afraid my father may have remembered it incorrectly. My son fell from a tree when he was five years old. The wound scratched by a sharp stone was on his left leg, and it was above the knee, not his right leg."

His plain statement finally caused an uproar. King Ye's face was like an inflated balloon, glowing red. He slapped a thick palm on the armrest and couldn't stop nodding.

"Yes, yes, my father is old and his memory is bad. My son, my son is right, that's right."

After receiving King Ye's affirmative answer, Huai Yuequn's legs went weak and he fell down in the hall, looking at Yuan Xingzhou at a loss.

Is this person, is this person really the eldest prince who has been missing for more than ten years? !

Zheng Quchi's originally tense back slowly relaxed, and he was frightened to death.

Are all the people in these palaces like lotus roots in the pool? They are full of evil intentions, and every word is a trap. They are too perceptive. If the "Yuan Xingzhou" she brought is really fake, I'm afraid I've been tricked to death by King Ye's confusing behavior one after another.

"You are indeed my son, Xingzhou, come up quickly and ask your father to take a good look at you. Where have you been all these years?"

King Ye's eyes were filled with tears, and he waved lovingly and concernedly towards Yuan Xingzhou who was sitting below him.

Yuan Xingzhou stood up and frowned with his slender eyebrows. He turned his head and looked at the golden beast incense: "Father, I am not used to the incense in this palace. Can you open the window?"

When King Ye heard this, his pupils suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly shouted around: "Hurry up and open the window to extinguish the incense!"

The palace people were startled by his irritable shouting, and their movements were a little slow. They saw him grabbing the spittoon and smashing it against one of the palace people.

Sweating profusely with anxiety, they moved quickly, opening windows one after another and watering to extinguish the incense.

At this time, when the fresh air entered the hall and dispersed the rich and sweet incense in the hall, Zheng Quchi's nauseating and uncomfortable feeling became slightly better.

Yuan Xingzhou calmly observed the relaxed look on her brows, and then walked up. He stood and looked at King Ye who was sitting there like a puddle of mud with a cold expression, showing a touch of inexplicable pity: "Father, you are old. These people are so neglectful of you. Based on your past temperament, I would have executed them one by one long ago. But now you can only sit here and uselessly scold and vent."

The palace people who were originally standing against the wall looked at the newly returned eldest prince with horror after hearing this. They felt uneasy and immediately knelt down one by one, kowtowing desperately.

Even Huai Yuequn was made to sweat by the eldest prince's astonishing words. He turned over and knelt down in fear.

They were afraid of King Ye, but what they feared was the power in King Ye's hands. They were also contemptuous of King Ye, because from the bottom of their hearts they looked down on King Ye, who could not even stand up.

And this point was actually seen through by the newly returned eldest prince at a glance.

Only Zheng Quchi looked confused.He has just returned to the palace, and his butt has not yet warmed up, so he plans to come to Qingjun's side?

Will the old King Ye feel happy after hearing this?He will definitely feel that his majesty as a king has been offended by him, and that he is ambitious and wants to replace him when he comes back, right?
Zheng Quchi was making various assumptions in her mind. Based on her shallow knowledge of palace fighting, she believed that Yuan Xingzhou was too impatient. Didn't they agree to proceed step by step and plan slowly...

King Ye's whole body was trembling with excitement, but he was not angry, but happy: "Yes, what my son said is true. When my father is old, they despise the king's authority. Now that you are back, my father is really happy." .”

Zheng Quchi looked at King Ye with a "fuck" expression: "..."

The old father who is crazy about his son's revenge may also be an old crazy person. This is called genetics. Yes, she is too busy to worry about it. She doesn't understand their world and it bothers her.

The next time was the time for these two father and son with evil intentions to reminisce about the past. Zheng Quchi acted as the backdrop for all the palace people who were kneeling on the ground. It was not until King Ye was tired and could hardly keep his eyes open that Yuan Xingzhou said : "Father, the general's wife and my son came to the capital together. On the way, they became familiar with each other like confidants, and they talked happily. She will stay with my son in the Baibu Palace tonight."

Just now, King Ye asked Yuan Xingzhou to rest in Baibu Hall, his former residence.

Hearing this, King Ye suddenly opened his drooping eyes, and his pair of turbid slender eyes looked into Yuan Xingzhou's eyes as if searching.

There are countless rooms in the palace for guests to stay in, but he just wants to bring people to his palace. This can be understood as two meanings. One is that the person is someone he wants to protect, and the other is that the person is someone he likes. .

King Ye was a foolish king when he was young. He often stole wives and daughters. He did not value a woman's chastity. He valued more the benefits brought by marriage.

He twisted his head. He almost had no neck, and his head and neck formed a ball of flesh. His two narrow eyes stared at Zheng Quchi with a sticky feeling like a reptile... Except for his low birth status, in other aspects She can still look past it, especially since she holds the huge power left by Yu Wensheng in her hands.

Naturally, he had an informant to report back on what happened in front of the city gate. She had successfully conquered the Wang and Wei families, and the Xuanjia Army also valued her very much. If this woman did not mention her origin, she must have some tricks. Yes, otherwise how could she have married Yu Wensheng?After his death, he quickly gathered his power in his hands.

In other words, doesn't taking control of her mean that all the power left by Yu Wensheng will be owned by the Yuan family?

However... this matter needs to be considered carefully.

"My son will arrange this matter himself. If you are tired of being alone, you can go."

He wanted to wave his hand, but he didn't have the strength to lift it up. He had no energy to think about anything anymore, and his mind was so groggy that he wanted to fall asleep.

-

The people in the palace skillfully stretched out the snoring King Ye, made him sleep on a large specially built seat, and then covered him with a brocade quilt...

This seemingly simple action made seven or eight palace attendants panting and sweating profusely from exhaustion, and this scene also amazed Zheng Quchi.

This King Ye simply overturned all her understanding of a king.

Before coming, she had mapped all the images of kings on him in her mind more than once, but when she really saw the person, all the pictures in her mind were shattered.

She had heard Brother Wei say that King Ye was suffering from obesity, and she had imagined that he had reached such a serious and terrifying state.

Walking out of the palace, Zheng Quchi breathed heavily.

Yuan Xingzhou asked her: "Didn't you say you're not afraid of him?"

She did not deliberately conceal her conversation with King Ye, and Yuan Xingzhou's ear naturally heard every word.

Zheng Quchi saw that the palace people who were leading the way were in front, so she deliberately distanced herself to give them space. She whispered: "I'm not afraid. With you here and the strong support Yu Wensheng left me, to be honest, I'm not too afraid of Ye." What does Wang do to me? It’s just that I was frightened by that incense inside, and now my chest still feels uncomfortable.”

Yuan Xingzhou saw her innocent little face and didn't know whether it was because she was truly fearless or because she was just too slow to react.

"That's the scent of snakes," he said.

Zheng Quchi heard it and asked strangely: "What is snake fragrance?"

Incense made from snakes?In her impression, snakes have always been associated with poison, so this scent couldn't be poisonous, right?

"Snake scent is not poisonous, but a special spice. If people smell it for a long time, it will make people dream."

Zheng Quchi felt relieved when he heard that it was not a poisonous fragrance.

"This fragrance makes people dream? What are you dreaming about?"

"It depends on your mood. If you feel very scared when you smell the fragrance, you will most likely have a nightmare that night. If you feel happy, you will have a beautiful dream."

"So simple?"

Zheng Quchi considered herself simple, but not stupid. She recalled King Ye's actions and demeanor earlier: "That's not right. When you asked King Ye to kill the incense, he was clearly embarrassed and nervous after being exposed. Is this incense... what else……"

Her questions gradually disappeared in the calm and deep eyes of Yuan Xingzhou.

His eyes and body movements were telling her that enough was enough, and knowing more would be of no benefit to her.

"Zheng Quchi, I said that as long as I am here, no one can hurt you. If you don't want to have nightmares tonight, then think more about happy things." Yuan Xingzhou told her.

He didn't have to tell her these things and make her worry, but he didn't want her to have a bad sleep tonight and have nightmares about misfortune. As for the other effects of snake incense, he would solve it for her without her having to go. Afraid of bothering.

Zheng Quchi now somewhat believed that Yuan Xingzhou could protect her safe and sound in the palace. Although he had been away from the palace for more than ten years, he seemed to be able to see through all the dirty tricks in the palace at a glance and knew them well.

As for why King Ye wanted to use snake incense on her, he knew that the other party must not have good intentions. Maybe calling her into the palace was a set up, but this set up had just started when Yuan Xingzhou interfered.

He asked her to think of some happy things, happy things...

Zheng Quchi muttered in a low voice: "I want to be a great craftsman. I want to invent some works that benefit the people and the country. And let me think about it... I want my eldest brother's legs to get better and be able to function like normal people." She can run and jump. I hope my little sister will be free from illness and disaster, be smart and happy every day..."

These things she is thinking about are all her wishes. The happiest thing in life is to get her wish.

Yuan Xingzhou listened one by one and accepted all her prayers: "If you marry me, all the things you said will be fulfilled for you in this palace. It is useless to pray to gods and Buddhas."

Zheng Quchi: "..." So, is it useful to marry you?
