Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 181 Something happened to the princes

"Bai Xiuyuan, it is thanks to your leadership that we can achieve a complete victory in quelling the rebellion," the emperor said.

Isn't this credit Qing'er's?How did it become his?

"emperor!"

Bai Xiuyuan cupped his hands and was about to defend himself, but the moment he looked up, he saw the emperor's extremely threatening gaze, and all words stuck in his throat.

At this moment, he understood that the emperor gave him the credit for Qing'er.

Just because he understood it didn't mean that everyone understood it. The generals who followed the order were furious and clenched their fists.

Seeing that Bai Xiuyuan yelled but there was no follow-up, they got angry and were so anxious that they almost shouted out.

But Bai Xiuyuan remained indifferent.

Cheng Qing frowned slightly, not because she wanted to be greedy for merit, but because she thought it was a bit strange.

She couldn't just look up at the main hall. Xiu Yuan did not continue. She must have known what the emperor was thinking. After the court was over, she could ask him what was going on.

The emperor smiled and said: "Bai Xiuyuan, please don't refuse my reward this time."

"Yes." Bai Xiuyuan bowed, feeling very complicated. If it weren't for protecting Qing'er, he wouldn't have bent down like this.

"What do I give you?" The emperor thought for a while and smiled: "By the way, you are not married yet, so I will give you a unique phoenix crown and harem for your future bride."

Bai Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, he knew that this would be the case, "The common people thank the emperor for the reward."

After hearing this reward, the eyes of those who knew that Bai Xiuyuan and Cheng Qing were together suddenly changed, and they even wondered if the emperor already knew about them?

When Cheng Qing heard this, what he thought in his mind was that the emperor turned around and gave the credit to Xiu Yuan, but it turned out that he wanted to reward her with something.

The emperor was warning Xiu Yuan not to betray her, did he already know about the two of them?
It was very possible, the emperor had really good intentions towards her.

I just don't know, if the emperor knew that she was Cheng Yue who went to the border, would he treat her so well?

Forget it, let's keep this secret buried, there's not much point in letting him know.

"In addition, my fourth prince was seriously injured during the rebellion, and he should be commended..."

Zhao Wuyuan was injured?

Cheng Qing frowned. No one told her this. She turned slightly to look at Qi Diaolie and the others. They all looked solemn and worried, clearly knowing.

Her frown deepened, and she was worried about Zhao Wuyuan's injury.

The court soon came down due to the emperor's physical discomfort. After the court, Cheng Qing pulled Qi Diaolie and asked Zhao Wuyuan where he was?

Then he dragged his brother and ran towards the palace.

Bai Xiuyuan behind him was already full of resentment. When he saw Cheng Qing actually caring about his love rival, he was so angry that even the people standing next to him couldn't stand his jealousy.

Tao Liangyu patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Military Advisor, I deeply sympathize with you, but the fourth prince is the master's brother. In order to save her, he has made a lot of efforts. It's okay. Be more generous. Although the master is not very good It’s a bit tricky, but she can still tell the difference between a lover and a brother.”

Bai Xiuyuan glanced at him faintly and walked quickly in the direction where Cheng Qing left.

"No, what does that look in his eyes mean?" Tao Liangyu didn't understand at first.

Tao Liangting walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Brother, I think what the military advisor means is that you are a single man and don't understand the pain of falling in love with someone."

"You understand." Tao Liangyu suddenly felt unhappy and left angrily. "I don't understand, I'm just a bystander, hahahaha, brother, wait for me!" Tao Liangting chased after him.

A group of people came to the imperial palace and happened to meet an imperial doctor coming out of it.

The imperial doctor raised his head, glanced at Cheng Qing and others, and immediately left in a panic.

"You are too cowardly." Qi Diaolie said disdainfully.

Cheng Qing felt something was wrong, pulled Cheng Yue to run inside, and said, "Brother, hurry up."

"Sister, please slow down." Cheng Yue didn't know what was going on, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the fourth prince's palace, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No, why is there no one guarding here?" Cheng Qing frowned, kicked open the door, and the scene inside shocked them.

There were corpses inside. In addition to Zhao Wuyuan, who was originally in the room, there were also the prince, several young princes, and a guard who had a knife stabbed in his chest.

Except for the guard, everyone else was poisoned and turned blue.

Cheng Yue was the first to react, and immediately went in to see if anyone was alive.

Cheng Qing was trembling with anger, turned around and walked out.

The people who were following behind saw the scene here. Bai Xiuyuan stopped them and said, "Any of you who didn't see what the imperial doctor looked like just now stayed to help. Those who saw it all follow me."

Cheng Qing came out of the imperial womb, and ran towards the direction where the imperial physician left.

After the imperial doctor left the house, he walked to the road outside the palace. When someone came, he pretended to be calm. When no one was there, he ran as fast as he could.

Cheng Qing ran to the first door. There were doors in three directions. She forced herself to calm down and think about the direction in which the imperial doctor could escape.

Suddenly, a palace maid walked over from a road. Cheng Qing rushed over to grab her and asked: "Girl, did you see the bearded and a little thin imperial doctor passing by this way?"

The palace maid was startled by her. Seeing that she was wearing white clothes and only wearing a white flower on her head, she shouted contemptuously: "Who are you? Do you dare to break in here?"

Cheng Qing's eyes were slightly stern, and he said coldly: "This is someone you can't afford to offend. Tell me, did he go this way? If you don't tell, or lie, I will skin you alive when I come back!"

"Qing'er!"

"The princess!"

The people behind followed.

When the palace maid heard her identity, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed on the spot, "Princess, spare my life, spare your life!"

Cheng Qing was so angry that his head hurt. He pushed him to Tao Liangyu, who was the first to run behind him, and said, "Put her in custody. If she is an accomplice, I will make her look good!"

"Qing'er, can you tell which direction you're going?" Bai Xiuyuan didn't even look at the subdued palace maid.

Cheng Qing said: "There are three roads here. Others can pursue the other two roads. Xiuyuan, you come with me to pursue this road outside the palace. By the way, Tao Liangting, you go and report to the emperor and ask him to seal off the entire palace. ."

"Yes!"

Everyone had their own division of labor and went in all directions.

Tao Liangyu looked at the palace maid who was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and shook his head. If the emperor knew what happened, this woman might not survive.
