Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 742 Miansheng, Erhua County fell
The Ninth Prince rode a horse and took a shortcut, hurried and hurried, and finally stopped the imperial army in front of the palace gate.

"See His Highness the Ninth Prince," said the commander of the imperial army, saluting the Ninth Prince, "It's midnight, how could His Highness the Ninth Prince come here?"

"Why does Commander Zhang know what to ask?" The Ninth Prince looked at Baili Wuhen who was gagged, and said, "I don't know what crime my second cousin committed? Commander Zhang arrested him with such great fanfare?"

Commander Zhang said: "Since His Highness the Ninth Prince has come to intercept the late general, he must have already known that Baili Wuhen's trespassing in the sky prison is a capital crime. The latter is about to send him to the palace and wait for the emperor's punishment."

Commander Zhang said seriously," the Ninth Prince said, "It was the prince who sent him to the prison to persuade Huangfu Mingyu and Prime Minister Yin to surrender. This prince will explain this matter to his father, so I won't bother Commander Zhang. Let’s run for a while, Commander Zhang, let him go soon.”

"Please forgive me for not being able to follow orders," Commander Zhang said with a stern look. "The general is responsible and has no right to release Baili Wuhen privately. Since he was ordered by His Royal Highness Ninth Prince to enter the prison, he will wait until he sees the emperor." Now, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince should explain to the emperor face to face."

The Ninth Prince's face darkened: "Commander Zhang, this is not a big deal at all, there is no need to disturb the royal father. Could it be that Commander Zhang doesn't even give this prince any face?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness Ninth Prince." Commander Zhang said neither humble nor overbearing without fear of his downcast face.

The Ninth Prince stared at him coldly, stroking the saber on the saddle with his hand, exuding a dangerous aura on his body, and the guards following him also held the hilts of their swords, ready to go.

Commander Zhang tightened his body and was ready to defend at any time. He didn't dare to do anything to the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince would never want to snatch him away from him.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, there was a sound of horseshoes rattling in the quiet night, and King Qin's voice came from afar: "Uncle Nine Emperors, Commander Zhang, what are you doing? Why are you blocking the palace gate?"

The face of the Ninth Prince changed slightly, Commander Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, and said politely: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Qin."

"King Qin's news is very well-informed," the Ninth Prince said with a smirk, "It's even more serious, you don't sleep well in the mansion, and come here to meddle in other people's business!"

The Ninth Prince has been in the limelight recently, and he is no longer as worried as before. In addition, he is in an extremely bad mood at this time, and he is not polite when speaking.

King Qin was slightly surprised, his eyes turned around him and Commander Zhang, and when he saw Baili Wuhen, he showed a bit of surprise, and said: "Uncle Jiuhuang misunderstood, I didn't come here after hearing some news Yes, but I have something to ask Grandpa Huang."

The Ninth Prince sneered, he didn't believe his words at all, and said, "What's the matter with you, why do you have to disturb Father in the middle of the night?"

King Qin said: "Doesn't Uncle Nine Emperors know? By the way, Uncle Nine Emperors came here. I'm afraid I missed the messenger. Yin Yuanlang and Yin Yuansu, the second young master of the Yin family, have already met. Tens of thousands of water bandits are under his banner. Tonight's sneak attack on Erhua County, Erhua County was caught off guard! The hundreds of thousands of troops led by Marshal Yin of Western Xinjiang have also declared their rebellion. Several generals sent by the court to supervise the army have all killed the sacrificial flags and headed south. The day is not far away."

The mocking smile on the corner of the Ninth Prince's mouth disappeared, and he said solemnly: "They are moving so fast!"

At this time, a guard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion came galloping on a horse and handed a letter to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince unfolded it and saw that what was written in the letter was indeed what the King of Qin said just now, and now he no longer had any doubts.

Not long after Yin Yuanlang escaped from the capital city, he found Yin Yuansu who had fled. He hated those water bandits who were very cunning and good at hiding. All the Wanshui bandits have become the help of the Yin family!

Qin Wang said: "This king wants to go to the palace to see the emperor's grandfather, do you want to go with Jiuhuang uncle?"

The Ninth Prince withdrew his mind from the letter, and looked at the situation in front of him again, only to feel a headache.With King Qin present, it is impossible for him to force Commander Zhang to hand over Baili Wuhen. They all got the news, and the father must have known about it. will be more serious.

"Commander Zhang, you have to think carefully about what to say and what not to say when you are in front of your father!" The Ninth Prince threw down a threatening word and entered the palace gate.

King Qin and Commander Zhang glanced at each other secretly, and then walked into the palace.

Emperor Hongguang was awakened by an urgent report in his sleep. After reading the contents of the urgent report, he was so angry that he coughed and gasped, and passed out.When the Ninth Prince and the King of Qin asked to see each other, the imperial physician had just finished his diagnosis and treatment.

"How is father?" The Ninth Prince asked the imperial physician with concern.

"Your majesty is very angry. After the acupuncture treatment by my servant, the emperor will wake up soon," said the imperial doctor, "It's just that the emperor's old illness has not healed, and he refuses to take a good rest. You must not be stimulated any more, otherwise The disease is getting worse, I'm afraid..."

"I see, I will persuade my father," said the Ninth Prince, "The imperial doctor will go down and decoct the medicine first."

"Wei Chen resigns." The imperial doctor put away the silver needle and left with the medicine box.

The Ninth Prince looked at the King of Qin and said: "The King of Qin heard it too. The imperial doctor said that the father should not be provoked any more. I will take care of the matter of Baili Wuhen myself. The King of Qin should not talk too much in front of the father."

King Qin looked puzzled: "What's the matter with Baili Wuhen? I don't know anything, and I didn't have time to ask at the gate of the palace just now. Why was he arrested by Commander Zhang?"

"It's just a little thing, you just need to know that when things get up, Gongyi Kejun will also be involved, and you don't want to see her being implicated." The Ninth Prince didn't bother to care whether he really didn't know or was just pretending. As long as it can be suppressed.

At this time, a court lady said happily: "The emperor is awake! The emperor is awake!"

King Qin hurriedly walked over, the Ninth Prince didn't wait for King Qin's response, and felt displeased, but he had no choice but to give up.

"Grandpa Huang, you're awake, but you've frightened grandson and Uncle Nine Emperors!" Qin Wang personally helped Emperor Hongguang sit up, and said to the maid beside him, "Hurry up and bring a cup of hot water to Grandpa Huang."

"You are here," Emperor Hongguang looked very bad, but he put on a calm face in front of his children and grandchildren, "but have you also heard the news of the fall of Erhua County and the mutiny of the Xijiang army?"

Both of them nodded, and the Ninth Prince said: "Father, the imperial physician just ordered that Father's body must not be overworked, let alone get angry. Let the ministers handle the matter of rebellion. A healthy body is the most important thing."

Emperor Hongguang took the hot water brought by the maid, drank a couple of sips, and said calmly: "I am not old enough to do anything, what are you in a hurry for?"

The Ninth Prince hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My son didn't mean that, my son..."

"Okay, you don't need to say more," Hongguang Emperor said, "I know you are filial, but sometimes you are too filial. I will explain to you what I need you to do, and don't hold your hands when you shouldn't meddle too much." Stretched too long."

"Your servant is terrified, and I would like to obey my father's instruction!" The Ninth Prince said with his head bowed.He knew that his father had found out that he was actively wooing courtiers and seizing power privately, but he was terrified on the face, but not very scared in his heart.The father is already a hero, and now most of the people in the court are his people, even the father can't touch him easily.

Emperor Hongguang hit him once, then softened his tone and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Father." The Ninth Prince stood up and respectfully stood aside.

Emperor Hongguang ordered Quan Sanxi: "Go and gather all the civil and military officials to discuss matters in the imperial study."

King Qin persuaded: "Grandpa Huang has just woken up, let's rest for a while, there is no rush to discuss matters at this time, and it will not be too late to talk about it after dawn."

"If you were not in a hurry, why would you two come into the palace overnight?" Emperor Hongguang said, "My body is fine, and besides, I can't rest at ease now."

Seeing that he persisted, King Qin stopped persuading him.Quan Sanxi hurried out to summon all officials.

As soon as Quan Sanxi went out, Commander Zhang who was waiting outside the hall knew that the emperor had woken up, and raised his voice, "My minister Zhang Duo, I have something to report to the emperor!"

The Ninth Prince turned cold, this Zhang Duo was still waiting outside!

He wanted to reprimand him a few words, but his father just beat him, and the Ninth Prince didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only glance outside coldly.

Emperor Hongguang frowned, Zhang Duo begged to see him in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it was not a good thing, "Come in and talk."

Commander Zhang walked into the bedroom, and just as he was about to salute, Emperor Hongguang said, "Excuse me, what do you have to say?"

Commander Zhang said: "The emperor ordered the ministers to guard the sky prison, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. Tonight, the second young master Baili Wuhen of the Duke of Chu's mansion broke into the prison without permission, and was captured by the ministers. He has now been taken outside the palace. Waiting for the emperor to let go!"

Emperor Hongguang was already mentally prepared, but he was still furious when he heard the words: "Baili Wuhen, he is so courageous! Did something happen to the third prince and Prime Minister Yin?"

"No, they are all safe and sound," Commander Zhang said, "It's just that I asked them the purpose of Baili Wuhen's trip, and they refused to say a word."

When Emperor Hongguang heard that they were fine, he felt relieved. If they died, the rebels of the Yin clan would have no scruples.

"Father, this matter is all my fault," the Ninth Prince knelt down and said, "Both my grandfather and the two uncles died under the sword of Prime Minister Yin, how could Baili Wuhen not be resentful, day and night he wanted to kill his enemy for revenge. Son The minister advised him to focus on the overall situation, but Baili Wuhen was blinded by hatred and committed the felony of breaking into the dungeon without permission. Fortunately, no major disaster was caused. This matter is all due to the lax supervision of the minister. Punish your son and minister, please forgive Baili Wuhen for the sake of Duke Chu and his son who sacrificed for the court!"

Commander Zhang glanced at him, but did not reveal that what he said at the palace gate was different from what he said at this time, but a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Hongguang frowned. If it were someone else, he would definitely order to execute him without hesitation, as a warning to everyone else.However, all three of Chu Guogong, father and son died, and the Baili family was in turmoil because of this. It was the family that lost the most. Although Baili Wuhen made a big mistake, if he was severely punished, it would inevitably make people feel chilling.

Qin Wang also interceded: "Grandpa, the Baili family has encountered a catastrophe. It is understandable for Baili Wuhen to be impulsive. Fortunately, the third prince and Prime Minister Yin are safe and sound. The matter is not serious. It is better to punish him with a small punishment." .”
