I am the sword fairy

Chapter 63 The prince is sick
Song Yu promised to come back and have a good drink with Huang Ping in the evening, but now he still has to go to Prince Qi's Mansion.

In Hanjiang City, these were the only two families that allowed him to take the initiative to visit them for New Year greetings.

For people like Mr. Liu, Zhang Sihai, Zhang Fan and his son, there is no need for him to deliberately come to visit. They can just find a time to have a drink together in a few days.

So Song Xueqi stayed at the Huang family, while Song Yu and Caiyi drove to Prince Qi's Mansion.

From a distance, Caiyi saw that there was a lot of excitement outside Prince Qi's Mansion, with people on horseback, walking, and riding in cars coming and going in an endless stream, so he whispered to Song Yu: "Sir, there are a lot of people over there, do we still want to go there? ?”

"Go, why don't you go? We're here to pay New Year's greetings!" Song Yu said in the car.

But he was thinking in his heart that the prince severely injured the big demon clone last night, allowing him to get a huge advantage, and he didn't know whether he was injured.

The carriage quickly arrived at the door, and many people noticed that the driver was actually a pretty and pretty girl. There were expressions of surprise on their faces, but no one said anything.

After Song Yu got out of the car, he noticed that the various people who came... didn't look like they were here to pay New Year's greetings.

Looking at the serious expressions and furrowed brows on those faces, Song Yu's heart suddenly wondered, could something have happened to the prince?

Ordinarily it shouldn’t be!

If something really happened, this group of people would know about it. There is no reason why Mrs. Shui shouldn't know about it. After she finds out, she should send someone over to inform her, right?
At this time, someone from the palace noticed his special carriage, because it was almost identical except that it did not have the mark of the palace, and they immediately guessed who was coming.

A steward came over to greet Song Yu.

"Mr. Yu, have a prosperous New Year!"

Song Yu asked softly: "Why are these people... all like this?"

The steward sighed softly and replied: "The prince is ill, and they are here to visit."

sick?
Really hurt?
Song Yu thought to himself.

At this time, the steward said: "The prince has an explanation. There is no need to notify Mr. Yu when he comes. You can just follow me in." After that, he glanced at Caiyi who was looking at the carriage, "This girl..."

Song Yu nodded: "Just ask someone to arrange a place for her to rest briefly."

The steward nodded, summoned someone casually, finished giving instructions, and walked inside with Song Yu.

As expected of Mr. Yu, even the driver is such a beautiful woman. I heard that the prince sent him as a gift...

Others saw envy in their eyes when they saw that Song Yu didn't have to queue up and was taken in by the palace steward without even being notified.

Then came deep confusion.

Because people’s first reaction to things beyond their own cognition is usually to question, rather than think.

I can't understand that no matter how talented a martial arts master is, he won't be valued so much by a big shot like the prince, right?
Song Yu followed the steward inside, walked to a deserted place, and asked softly: "The prince has always been in good health, why did he suddenly fall ill at this time?"

The steward did not hide anything and said: "Last night, a monster drove countless ferocious beasts to siege the city. In order to keep Hanjiang safe, the prince rushed out of the city with his son to kill the enemy. The prince faced the monster. Although the monster was seriously injured, he was also injured. ...This matter has been temporarily silenced. It’s okay for the young master to know about it himself and don’t spread it outside.”

Song Yu showed an appropriately surprised expression and looked at the steward in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?"

The steward nodded slightly.

half an hour.

Song Yucai said in awe, "Your Majesty loves the people like a son. How lucky you are to have Your Majesty here in Hanjiang City!"

The steward took Song Yu all the way to the courtyard where the prince was. As soon as he entered, he saw a row of more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, standing there with solemn expressions and not making any sound.

The identity of the person who was able to get the news that the prince was "ill" so quickly was probably not simple.

Song Yu also saw someone he knew among this group of people, Hanjiang Zhizhou Xu Jing, who was ranked first in the group.

Seeing Song Yu, Xu Jing was slightly startled and nodded slightly.

Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Song Yu cupped his hands at him.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Huan came out and saw Song Yu. A smile appeared on his tired face: "Did you come here after hearing some news?"

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Xu Zhizhou.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xu Zhizhou's eyes, then he cupped his hands towards Song Yu and entered the room solemnly.

Song Yu's heart skipped a beat after seeing the prince's expression.

He was exhausted last night and didn't think much about it. Besides, when he saw the big demon clone, he was already extremely weak.

Otherwise, how could his "piracy" evil words to confuse the public be so easy to work on the real owner?
Could it be that the battle between the great demon clone and the prince meant both sides suffered losses?
If this is the case, it can explain why this group of people have such expressions as if they were bidding farewell to the body.

If something unexpected happened to King Qi, the impact would be huge!

"I really don't know what happened. The steward just said a few words when he brought me in..." Song Yu looked at Zhao Huan with some worry, "Is the prince okay?"

Zhao Huandao: "This is not a place for chatting, you come with me..."

After letting someone take the gift from Song Yu's hand, he took Song Yu and walked to the living room aside.

The people waiting in line here couldn't help but look at the backs of the two people in surprise.

Some of them knew about Song Yu, while others had never heard of him. Most of these people were members of the officialdom. Many of them only moved in relatively narrow circles and were insensitive and uninterested in external affairs.

At this moment, I couldn't help but become curious, who is this young man?How can the prince pay so much attention to it?

Although no one was talking to each other, they all remembered the young man's appearance silently in their hearts, and planned to go back and investigate carefully. No matter who it was, they must not let their children accidentally bump into him.

In the small living room.

The prince asked someone to make tea for Song Yu. He looked at Song Yu and said softly: "Last night, outside the city, a herd of beasts controlled by a monster surrounded the city. My father and I went out of the city to deal with it. The monster had turned into a human form and was very powerful. He escaped after being severely injured by his father, but his father was also seriously injured. His life should not be in danger, but he still needs to recuperate for a long time..." Song Yu remembered what the sword spirit had told him before, that the moment he felt the evil spirit, Qi Qi Two powerful auras burst out in the direction of the palace, and one of them quickly disappeared...

Thinking again about the weak appearance of the great demon clone at that time, and the fact that Mrs. Shui didn't send anyone to inform him, he suddenly had a suspicion in his mind.

This King of Qi... I'm afraid he's pretending to be sick!

The injury must be true, but most likely not that serious!

Anyway, it will never be as serious as the group of people outside who came to express their condolences and bid farewell to the body.

If that group of people could arrive so quickly, the news...must come from Prince Qi's Mansion!

In other words, this is probably because King Qi wants to send a serious signal to the outside world that he is serious!
"But don't worry too much, the crisis has been resolved." The prince said softly.

Song Yu felt that he had found the key thread of this matter.

After all, Lin Hui's assassination gave the court the best excuse for those who wanted to attack King Qi.

There must have been a lot of public opinion in recent times, and even if nothing can be done about the prince, there will still be pressure after all.

At present, through this method, not only can everyone stop talking, but also the person on the dragon throne can feel at ease——

Although he can still fight, he is getting old after all!

He can figure this out because he is a participant!
Not only did he know that there were two masters in the palace, but he also knew how seriously injured the big demon clone was at that time.

If he had not mastered these two key pieces of information, he would definitely believe what Zhao Huan said at this moment.

"That's the way it is. Brother Xian, just know it yourself. Don't spread it easily..." Zhao Huan said.

Song Yu nodded, thinking that the crown prince is not an easy person, he is very good at acting in a full range of roles.

Whether he said it or not, it actually had little impact on the outcome.

Of course, if he can mention this matter in front of the right people, it will definitely be regarded as important evidence.

The right person...he knew who it was.

Sure enough, Zhao Huan looked at Song Yu with a sincere face: "To be honest, Hanjiang is not a good place. Although the land is fertile and rich in products, it is located on the border. If it is not protected, the Northern Qi will invade one day. Now there are monsters causing trouble, even if they are He is seriously injured, but he may come back at any time. Since Brother Xian has a relatively deep connection with the Demon Supervisor, it is better to leave here as soon as possible and go to the capital, which will be better than here."

No matter what the prince's purpose was, if his views were almost the same as Li Chaoen's, he was indeed thinking about Song Yu from the bottom of his heart.

Song Yu stood up and clasped his fists: "Thank you for the advice, Your Majesty. You must be very busy recently. I see that there are many people coming to visit the prince, so I won't bother you."

Zhao Huan nodded: "Okay, brother, I won't be polite to you anymore. Let's get together later!"

……

……

Come out of the palace and get on the carriage.

Caiyi drove away, speechless all the way.

Went to Huang's house and had a big drink with Huang Ping and his son, and returned to Song's house late at night with his sister.

Song Yu didn't go out again for the next few days.

The news about what happened outside Hanjiang City on New Year's Eve finally spread on a large scale.

Even those beasts that were originally just contaminated with demonic energy were said to be magical——

"That night, firecrackers roared continuously in the city. A group of us were reunited with our relatives at home, but tens of thousands of monsters appeared outside the city! Do you know what monsters are? They are the kind that can cause bloodshed just by rushing into the city. A river of terrible monsters!"

"The prince protected us, but he was seriously injured as a result. I heard that the prince's palace is preparing for his funeral..."

"What a wonderful prince, God bless you, but don't let anything happen to you!"

"I have relatives who are in the army. I heard that the prince showed great power that night, like a god descending to earth... It's a pity that the demon was so powerful and hurt our prince. I have prayed for the prince at home!"

There are all kinds of rumors and rumors.

The seventh day of the first month.

Someone from the palace, carrying famous medicines and imperial doctors, traveled thousands of miles and came at high speed.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, news came out that someone close to the imperial doctor revealed that the prince was indeed seriously injured and that he was lucky to have saved his life.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, a convoy coming from the capital entered Hanjiang City.

Soon word spread that the emperor heard that his prince was seriously injured and couldn't help hiding his face at the banquet for the ministers. Afterwards, he burst into tears and sent a large number of precious medicinal materials.

There is only one request, no matter what, you must save the prince’s life!

It is said that all the officials present comforted the emperor and praised King Qi.

Many people, including those who had madly impeached King Qi before, also changed their words on the spot and praised the prince for being as brave as before. To protect the peace of the country, he took the lead and bravely fought against the monster, and he should be a model for the world!
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Xinglin Sages from all over the Southern Zhao Kingdom, together with several top imperial doctors from behind the capital, gathered in the palace to have a heated discussion and jointly study a treatment plan.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

This was supposed to be an extremely lively and grand festival for lantern viewing, but instead a large number of people gathered in the streets and alleys to pray for the prince.

Many people shed tears and expressed their willingness to lose ten years of their lives just so that the prince could get better.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the good news finally came... The prince's life was saved!
It is said that he opened his eyes, said weakly that he was hungry, and drank a bowl of porridge under the service of the princess.

Hanjiang City is filled with joy from top to bottom!
