Chapter 199 Queen of Xiliang
East Palace, Wanfeng Hall.
The prince stood under the eaves of the corridor, and the autumn wind blew the dead leaves flying around his feet, spreading a thin layer of yellow on the ground. The palace maid is holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves.
He bent down and picked up a fallen leaf. The ginkgo leaves, which usually only start to fall in October, have already started to fall in September.
Su Wan's favorite was this ginkgo tree. From October to November every year, she would live in the Queen's Side Hall. During the day, she would come to the Wanfeng Hall to look at the fallen leaves. She would collect the fallen leaves with her ingenuity. Tie the flowers into small bouquets and decorate them in the porcelain vase.
There has been no news from the people sent out yet.
The prince felt a little uneasy.
"Ji Lin."
Ji Lin, who was waiting aside, came forward and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Just as the prince was about to speak, he saw the imperial guards surrounding the East Palace and broke in.
"Your Highness, I have ordered you to be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion by order of the regent." The commander of the Imperial Guard showed his token.
The prince's face darkened and he scolded: "How outrageous! What crime did I commit to make your uncle issue this order!"
"His Royal Highness assassinated the clan members and court officials. Mr. Wen and Mr. Li found a token about His Highness on the assassin. They will temporarily imprison His Highness in the clan mansion until the regent returns to the court for personal trial." The commander of the Imperial Guard waved his hand. The army immediately stepped forward to arrest the prince.
The prince's face was ashen. The people in the Clan Mansion were all imprisoned by members of the royal family who had committed serious crimes. Under normal circumstances, very few of those imprisoned could be released, and they were sentenced to life imprisonment.
He knew in his heart that he might have failed and let Ji Xuan escape.
It's just that the soldiers he sent out were dead soldiers, and there was no way they would have tokens on them. There was no doubt that Ji Xuan framed him!
Ji Xuan wanted his life and was so arrogant that he framed him blatantly and arrested him violently.
"What if I refuse to be arrested?"
The guards and dead soldiers from the East Palace rushed out to protect the prince.
Ji Lin protects the prince.
"I'm offended!" The commander of the Imperial Guard stepped forward in person.
The prince took a step back, and suddenly, Ji Lin held him hostage, with a cold sword pressed against his neck.
"Your Highness, I'm offended." Ji Lin whispered.
The prince was stunned, and in an instant he understood what was going on. His face turned purple and was extremely frightening, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He was extremely angry: "Ji Lin, why have I ever treated you poorly? You betrayed your master! "
"Ji Lin's master has only been one person from beginning to end." Ji Lin looked calm. "My master rescued me from the pile of dead people. Ji Lin's life belongs to my master."
Ji Lin was thirteen years old and followed the nine-year-old prince. From that time on, the regent had been arranging arrangements around the prince.
The prince suddenly laughed loudly, feeling that it was pathetic and ridiculous. He had been planning for ten years, but it was just to make wedding clothes for others. He thought he had a trump card and a bargaining chip to make a comeback, but he didn't know that as early as the year he was crowned the prince, others had placed spies around him, and his trusted left and right arms were all the work of others!
A complete failure.
There is no room for struggle!
How can he be willing to do so?
——
God seemed to have heard Su Wan's prayers. The journey in the past few months had been very smooth, and no assassins were encountered. Perhaps it was because they drove lightly and kept simple, and did not attract attention. People in Dazhou did not know about their itinerary.
Taking into account the regent's health, they traveled day and night for more than two months, shortening the journey by almost a month.
In early December, we arrived at the capital of Xiliang Kingdom.
Su Wan was sitting in the carriage, feeling so depressed that she almost went crazy. Fortunately, the regent was well-informed. When she got bored, he would tell her stories about his expeditions to the north and south, as well as the customs and customs of various countries.
The regent was very weak, but he always cheered up and told her vividly. He talked more along the way than he had ever said in his life, which made Su Wan go crazy every time.
He told stories well and always ended at the most exciting point. She listened to every story in a series. Even though I was scratching my head and wanted to know the follow-up, I felt sorry for the regent's health and suppressed my thirst for knowledge.
When she had nothing to do, she studied medical books. On this day, she also studied the medical books thoroughly. As long as she saw Qi Min, she could cure the poison.
Su Wan glanced at the regent's sleeping face, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if she was holding back the pain. She pursed her lips, opened the curtain with her fingers, and looked at the powerful characters "Capital of the West Liang Kingdom", her eyes fell on The people lining up to enter the city were dressed the same as those in Zhou Dynasty.
The carriage moved slowly, and when it was their turn to check on them, they saw a female official standing at the city gate, walking towards them.
Zhou Wen bowed and said: "Prince Regent, my subordinate is Zhou Wen, the Minister of Rites. I am here to welcome you by order of the Queen."
Su Wan was shocked. The Queen of Xiliang Kingdom already knew about their itinerary?
Could it be that as soon as you enter the boundary of Xiliang, someone will be watching you?
Su Wan was just thinking about whether to wake up the Prince Regent. He had already opened his eyes and said hoarsely: "I am not feeling well. Please lead the way."
Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment, knowing Ji Xuan's nature, so she said no more and led the person to the Siyi Pavilion where foreign envoys were received.
Officials from Xiliang accompanied them, so Su Wan suppressed her curiosity about Xiliang and did not lift the curtain to see the situation in the capital. However, along the way, when looking at the national conditions of Xiliang, she found that it was very rich.
Su Wan saw that the regent looked very bad, so she took out a medicine bottle and took a few pills. She hurriedly handed over a glass of water: "Father, shall we go into the palace to see the Queen of Xiliang tomorrow?"
"In a few days." The Prince Regent drank a glass of water, handed the cup to Su Wan, and pressed his palm on his stinging head: "Take a good rest."
Su Wan nodded.
The carriage stopped at Siyi Pavilion, and Su Wan helped the regent get out of the carriage.
Zhou Wen did not dare to look directly at the regent and led the people into the courtyard that had been prepared by the Siyi Pavilion. "The regent has been tired from traveling and traveling. The queen has ordered that you come down and have a good rest. There will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow night to cleanse you from the wind and dust." "
"Thank you." The late regent of Su Dynasty returned. The closer he got to the capital of the Western Liang Kingdom, the worse the regent's health became. The specific situation was that he became more and more lethargic and did not speak much when he was awake.
Zhou Wen asked someone to serve the regent and Su Wan. She exited the courtyard and looked back at Su Wan who was surrounding the regent. She frowned and felt that even though Su Wan was a doctor, his behavior was too intimate?
Su Wan didn't think much and put the regent to sleep. She exited the inner room and looked in the direction of the palace, looking forward to tomorrow's palace banquet.
"Miss Su, would you like to have a meal?" the maid asked respectfully.
Su Wan shook her head. She had no appetite. Instead, she asked, "Is the Queen well?"
"The Queen was just a little weak after giving birth. After years of adjustment by the imperial doctors, she has recovered well." The maid said with a smile: "A few days ago, the Queen led all the officials to the royal hunting ground for winter hunting."
Su Wan frowned, she could participate in the winter hunting, the Queen of Xiliang didn't seem to be ill.
So why is my father's situation getting worse and worse?
