Chapter 102 The Prince
Just before dawn, Emperor Dongling was still asleep when he was woken up by the eunuch guarding the door.

"Your Majesty, there's news from the East Palace that the Crown Prince is ill again." The high-pitched voice came from the gate of the palace, causing Emperor Dong Ling's arms around the concubine to tighten slightly involuntarily.

Opening his eyes leisurely, Emperor Dongling's hazy eyes soon regained their clarity.Pushing away the woman in his arms, Emperor Dong Ling's face in his sixties was full of exhaustion.

"what happened?"

A month ago, the East Palace suddenly reported that the prince was suddenly poisoned when he was dining out.At that time, Emperor Dong Ling had already sent the best imperial physicians in the palace, and blocked the news, but the prince's absence from the morning court for nearly a month was enough for others to guess.

As soon as the news of the prince's poisoning entered the palace, Emperor Dong Ling suspected that one of his sons might have done it. However, after waiting for a long time and seeing the actions of other princes, Emperor Dong Ling gradually dispelled his suspicion.

But the most important thing in front of him is not to find out the perpetrator, but a month has passed, the crown prince has not recovered until now, Emperor Dongling feels his head hurts a bit.Recalling what Xia Zhi said last night, even if he is really capable of bringing the whole world into Dong Ling's territory, there is no one who can succeed him.

Among the princes, only the crown prince and the second prince's abilities can be seen, but the identity of the second son is not within the scope of his consideration.

Seeing the voice coming from inside, the eunuch immediately led a team of servants to push open the palace door and walked in. When Emperor Dongling was about to get up, he replied cautiously, "The news came from the East Palace that the prince is seriously ill. , I had already found a famous doctor to treat the prince, but I went to the man's house today but couldn't find him, so I came here in a hurry, Your Majesty, to ask for your order."

Emperor Dong Ling paused his dressing hands, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in doubt, "Who is the person you are asking for? If you just bring him to the East Palace, it will be over. Why did you come here to ask for my will? Could it be that famous doctor?" Was I imprisoned?"

The eunuch lowered his head a little. He also hesitated for a long time when he received the news this morning. He did not forget the fire that Emperor Dong Ling sent last night.

"It's really imprisoned by you, the emperor. The person who came to deliver the letter said that the famous doctor is the girl from Jimo who entered the palace yesterday."

Hearing the word Jimo, Emperor Dongling's eyebrows jumped uncontrollably.

Wearing the bright yellow dragon robe on Emperor Dong Ling, an imperial air flowed out immediately.

The eunuch waited for a long time but did not get the order from Emperor Dongling, and when he slightly raised his eyes to see the dragon robe on Emperor Dongling, he immediately knelt on the ground in fear, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty..."

"Are all the people in Tai Hospital useless?! Even a small poison needs to find Jimo Xia Zhi!" Emperor Dong Ling felt that his heart was being strangled, and he couldn't breathe.Angrily kicking the kneeling eunuch in front of him, Emperor Dong Ling scolded loudly.

The palace concubine who was still lying on the bed was immediately awakened from her sleep.Just opening his eyes, he had to bear the anger of Emperor Dongling together with everyone.

The eunuch was kicked and could only knelt on the ground reluctantly and dared not speak.Although he knew that Emperor Dongling would be displeased when the news was about to come in, he never expected that Emperor Dongling would be so angry.

Yesterday he was dismissed outside the imperial study, and he didn't know what Emperor Dongling and Xia Zhi were talking about inside.

Looking at the crowd kneeling in front of him, Emperor Dong Ling could only sigh in the end, "Forget it, now you take my will to bring Jimo Xia Zhi to the East Palace. But you must follow the whole process, remember not to Let her be alone with the prince. After saving the prince, immediately take her back to the prison and continue to hold her."

Emperor Dong Ling was so angry just now, half of the reason was because Xia Zhi actually left a way out before entering the palace, and it was the kind he couldn't refuse.

Emperor Dongling knows the prince's temperament best. If Xia Zhi really gets in touch with him, and repeats what Xia Zhi said to him yesterday, there is no guarantee that the prince will have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

So now he must control the matter well, no matter whether Xia Zhi is a threat to him or not, Emperor Dong Ling must control her well.

Because Xia Zhi is very useful to him at present.

……

In the darkness, it was as if someone pushed her.Xia Zhi didn't know what happened around her.

He was brought here yesterday by an order from Emperor Dong Ling. If it wasn't for the fact that there was something tied in his eyes, Xia Zhi really wanted to give Emperor Dong Ling a look.

He didn't need to guess to know that he wanted to give her a blow first, let her suffer for a few days, and then let her out.In the end, Xia Zhi would be determined to work for Emperor Dongling.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi sneered.Then he straightened his back and stood where he was, not fumbling around or thinking about how she would get out.

As if hearing the sound of birds chirping around her ears, Xia Zhi felt that she was a little tired from standing, so she kicked her legs and shook her already numb feet.

There was no blood on her lips, and Xia Zhi didn't know how long she had been locked up in this place, she just kept counting the time silently in her heart.

When she didn't know the number nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in her mind, she suddenly heard the sound of extremely light footsteps in the distance.And then, Xia Zhi suddenly felt her arm being pulled and pulled into an embrace.

A familiar smell came from the tip of her nose, and Xia Zhi heard someone whisper in her ear, "Ah Zhi, it's me."

Xia Zhi frowned in surprise, Han Poli's appearance here was out of her plan, and her original arrangement was to let the prince come to save him.

"Get out of here immediately." Xia Zhi pursed her lips tightly, and reprimanded in a low voice.

When she really needed someone to save her, Han Poli didn't show up.Now that she has arranged everything, Han Poli's sudden appearance may disrupt her plan.

Han Poli looked at Xia Zhi suspiciously, his pale face made him involuntarily hug her tightly, and breathed his breath into the hand she was holding, just wanting to help her get rid of some chills.

"You have been imprisoned for a day, and I will take you out of here now." Han Poli ignored the coldness in Xia Zhi's mouth, and just wanted to take her away.

If he had known last night, he should have found another excuse, and would not have left the Imperial Study no matter what.

However, Xia Zhi pushed Han Poli's hand away impatiently, "No need."

Han Poli's gaze sank instantly.His dark eyes were tightly locked on Xia Zhi's body, trying to see a hole in her body, "Staying here will be very dangerous."

"I can leave here in a short time, you don't have to worry." Xia Zhi also noticed that the tone of her words might be a bit bad, so she slowed down her voice, and comforted Han Poli instead.

"But you now..." Han Poli looked at Xia Zhi's lips that had lost all blood from the cold, as well as the iciness on his fingertips, there was nothing that he couldn't help feeling distressed. "Go out with me first, and then I can take care of other things for you."

At this time, Han Lili regarded Xia Zhi as a child who was throwing a temper tantrum, and he couldn't pull her away, so he had to coax her.

Xia Zhi listened carefully for a while, and when she heard a voice coming from a distance, her face changed suddenly.Regardless of Han Poli's emotions, Xia Zhi pulled his hand away and said in a deep voice, "I really can't leave with you now. If you believe me, go out and wait. I will be the first to tell you when I leave the palace. of."

"Do not……"

"Otherwise, I will leave Dongling immediately and never see you again." Xia Zhi gritted her teeth and berated Han Poli in a low voice.She knew he was worried about her, but now was not the time to talk.

Han Poli was silent for a while, and finally left Xia Zhi behind, hiding in the corner by himself.

The dark eyes were still staring at Xia Zhi, Han Poli couldn't figure out why Xia Zhi had changed so much since she disappeared and came back. Although she was still cold, she always felt different .

Moreover, no matter what he said, Xia Zhi could not take him seriously. This feeling of helplessness made Han Poli panic a little.

The heat source around her disappeared, and Xia Zhi's body became cold again.She didn't know if Han Poli had left, but even if he remained in the cell, she believed he would hide himself well.

The conversation was getting closer and closer, and soon, those people walked in front of Xia Zhi.

"Our family is the father-in-law who serves the emperor, Miss Jimo, please follow me." The high-pitched voice came from a human mouth, and Xia Zhi frowned slightly upon hearing it.

Taking a step back with her right foot, Xia Zhi made a defensive move, "Where are you going?"

When the eunuch saw Xia Zhi's actions, he was slightly taken aback, but soon he pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to grab Xia Zhi's sleeve, "Miss, you can put your hands on our shoulders."

Xia Zhi still shook off the eunuch's hand, and took another step back, "Where are you taking me?"

The questioning of these two sentences, as well as the defense against him, made the doubts in the eunuch's heart deeper and deeper.Looking at the person who entered the cell with him in surprise, the eunuch said softly, "Our family is here to take the girl to the East Palace."

The East Palace is the place where the prince lives.

Xia Zhi clenched her fists tightly, and when the eunuch stretched out her hand again, she finally followed his hand and walked out.

"What do you want to take me to the East Palace for?"

The eunuch looked at Xia Zhi's tightly pursed lips, and immediately turned his head to look at the person accompanying him.Finally, under the gesture of that person, he replied softly, "The prince is ill, the emperor asked you to show him."

Xia Zhi's other hand, which was not touched by anyone, was hanging by her side and rubbed it slightly. The fingertips had already been rubbed with warmth by her, and finally there was a flash of coldness, which no one noticed. Xia Zhi stabbed her own thigh with the silver needle without hesitation.

As if not aware of the pain in her thigh, Xia Zhi asked in a low voice, "Did my father-in-law come alone? Why did I hear the footsteps of two people?"
