Empress Chu

But at this time, it was declared in public, which was considered a declaration of intention.

Ning Kun, who was standing beside King Zhongshan, said in a low voice: "My lord, the son's gift came with the court—"

When King Zhongshan was reminded, he suddenly realized, and told his servant: "Bring in Ah Xun's gift first."

The servant hurriedly responded, and at the same time conveyed King Zhongshan's meaning to the emperor's congratulations. After a while, the people in the hall heard the noisy scolding from outside.

The servant came in with a scroll.

"It's the court officials who are being rude." He smiled nonchalantly, "The slaves have ordered them to be taken down to calm down."

Naturally, King Zhongshan didn't care. He watched the servant holding the scroll in his hand, stood up from his chair, and took it himself.

"Let's see what gift Ah Xun gave Gu." He said, then laughed again, "Maybe he's trying to scare me again."

Most of the people in the hall knew that Xiao Xun jumped off the high pole to celebrate the birthday of Zhongshan King, and they all laughed.

"It's a pity that the son can't come in person." They said one after another.

King Zhongshan took the scroll and unfolded it, laughing: "It's the word for longevity."

Hundreds of densely packed small longevity characters form a big longevity character.

He looked at it carefully, read every word, and almost posted it.

"The character for longevity is still changeable." He smiled, then turned his hand to show it to everyone, "Such a small character, Ah Xun's eyes are going to burn out."

Just as the people in the hall were about to agree, there was a sudden noise outside, shouting, what's going on?Is it so troublesome to take away a court official?

The people in the hall couldn't help turning their heads to look, Zhongshan King also looked over, a young man suddenly appeared in his sight, his hair was a little disheveled, his clothes were covered with dust, like a beggar, but even so, at a glance, King Zhongshan recognized it immediately.

"Ah Xun—" He lost his voice in surprise.

Prince?The people in the hall were shocked, true or false?Staring at the beggar-like young man—

The young man rushed down the hall.

"Father—" he yelled.

The king of Zhongshan laughed loudly: "Ah Xun, your birthday gift fell from the sky again, and it scared my father and me again!"

There was no joy on the young man's face, but fear——

"Father, throw it away—" he yelled, reaching forward as if to grab something.

throw it away?What to throw away?The people in the hall were stunned, subconsciously following Xiao Xun's outstretched hand and looking at King Zhongshan.

King Zhongshan was holding the longevity scroll, and he was still laughing, but blood slowly flowed from his mouth, nose and eyes.

blood.

Blood?

Blood!

There was an instant scream in the hall, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Chapter 55 please help

The sound of horseshoes on the noisy street was rapid, but what poured in from the city gate were no longer BMWs and fragrant cars, but groups of armored and armed soldiers.

The soldiers headed towards the palace, spread out in the city, ran up the four walls, and the city gates were slowly closing.

The joyous people on the street panicked, what happened?

"Did Xiliang call in?"

"Is the imperial court calling?"

The panic on the street was blocked outside the palace by heavy soldiers and horses, and the panic inside the palace was even stronger than on the street, because everyone saw the horrific scene with their own eyes.

The fear of the tsunami was quickly surrounded by the palace guards and isolated outside the hall. In the hall, only Zhongshan King's cronies, sons, and the doctor who had just arrived, the princess, and Zhongshan King were lying on the ground. The blood was still flowing out slowly, Xiao Xun knelt beside him and hit his head on the ground.

"Father, I'm late, I'm late." He repeated these words with sobs.

"What's going on, Ah Xun?" the princess shouted, wanting to step forward and throw herself on King Zhongshan.

"Mother, don't come here." Xiao Xun shouted.

The princess stopped walking and looked at Xiao Xun.

"Poisonous." Xiao Xun pointed to the scroll that fell on King Zhongshan. When King Zhongshan was bleeding from his mouth, nose and eyes, he was still holding the scroll, so a lot of blood dripped on it. Dazzling, "the poison is in the words, colorless and tasteless, extremely fierce, smelling into the viscera."

Hearing this sentence, the people who had gathered here immediately took a step back and subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

Ning Kun rushed over, took off his clothes and wrapped the longevity scroll.

"Doctor, doctor," he called.

Some people took him away for a drug test, while others flocked to Zhongshan Wang's side to check his pulse and check--but all of them were in a bad mood, obviously unable to recover.

The princess knelt down beside King Zhongshan, crying bitterly.

King Zhongshan was still conscious, but he couldn't speak, only breathing rapidly.

"My lord, what's going on here?" The officials of the palace asked urgently, their eyes fell on Xiao Xun, hesitating again and again, they still asked, "Why are you back?"

Although everyone knows that the son is a hostage in the capital and will not be treated harshly in life, it is impossible to leave the capital.

There is another sentence that he hesitated to ask again and again.

How could your birthday gift be poisonous?

Xiao Xun's expression was blank, and he fell to his knees in a daze, as if he heard the officials' questions, but he didn't seem to hear them.

"When the palace said they would give me a birthday gift, I didn't think much about it." His hoarse voice echoed in the hall, "I think they were worried that I would send news to my father, and I don't mind. Proton, I know that the duty of stability is the greatest help to my father, and I don’t want to pass on anything to my father, so I wrote the word of Qianshou according to their suggestion, and entrusted it to the palace respectfully, but—"

When he said this, he clenched his hands tightly, and when he heard this, the hearts of the people in the hall were suddenly clenched.

but what?

"But someone suddenly told me that the birthday gift I gave to my father will kill my father."

"He said that the Qianshou Wen I wrote was contaminated with poison, because he knew that my father would ignore the congratulatory gifts from the court, but he would definitely read the congratulatory gifts from me seriously, and he would read them very seriously, leaning closer, and getting close to—"

Why?Because the words "Qianzi" are very small, if you want to read them clearly, you have to get close to them. The people in the hall rushed to say that just now everyone saw King Zhongshan scrutinizing them with their own eyes.

"As long as you get close enough to inhale the poison on the word, you'll—"

"The man helped me escape from the capital. I came here day and night to stop my father, but—"

Still one step late, just one step late.

Xiao Xun let out a wail and hit his head on the ground.

The people around were shocked and bewildered. It all happened so suddenly, and everyone was confused. They stared at King Zhongshan in a daze. , a doctor who wiped the blood of King Zhongshan suddenly fell down.

"My lord's, the blood is also poisonous—" he said in a hoarse voice, and spat out a mouthful of blood after saying this.

This startled the people around even more. Their first thought was to step back, but they couldn't do it so bluntly.

"Protect the princess—"

"Protect the prince—"

Accompanied by shouts, everyone rushed forward to drag Princess Xiao Xun and other princes away from King Zhongshan.

The princess and the sons were both in pain and frightened.

"What can we do about this?" The princess cried, "How could it be so vicious, it wants us to die."

"My son, since you know, do you know how to save the prince?" The officials asked anxiously.

These words seemed to remind Xiao Xun, he got up suddenly, stumbled towards the door, and shouted: "Teacher, Tutor, save my father, Tutor, please save my father—"

These words shocked the people in the hall again, Grand Tutor?What does Tai Fu mean?Did the prince find a genius doctor named Fu?

Yes, it should be.

No way, it must be what the master meant.

Everyone was in a daze, Xiao Xun had already rushed out, because he was the one who rushed out, and the guards outside the door did not stop him, and moved out of the way, and the blocked people in the yard also stopped making noise and followed Xiao Xun with their eyes.

There were two men in ordinary robes among the guards standing outside the hall, because the guards didn't expel them, and everyone didn't pay attention, they just thought they were from the palace.

One of them is indeed a member of the palace, Xiao Xun's bodyguard Tie Ying, almost everyone in the official family of Zhongshan County recognizes him.

And the other one, in his early thirties, with a dusty face and a shabby blue robe, looks inconspicuous at first glance, but when his eyes fall on him, he can feel a sharp aura, which makes people dare not look more.

Xiao Xun stopped in front of him, stumbled to his knees, and grabbed his hands: "Teacher, save my father——"

Taifu, the people in the courtyard were startled, did that mean the Taifu?

The officials and gentry in Zhongshan County didn't go to the capital much, and almost none of them had seen or recognized the Taifu.

At this moment, someone came out of the hall to explain everyone's doubts.

"Deng Yi!" Ning Kun shouted, "Why are you here!"

Deng Yi!No matter how shocked everyone was, it really was that Taifu!

what happened?How did Deng Yi come here?

This is not the imperial court, nor the capital city, the gaze that looked at him did not flatter or fear, only shock and resentment and indifference after the shock.

Of course, Deng Yi didn't care, he didn't even look at these people, he only looked at Xiao Xun.

"Take him—" Ning Kun was still shouting.

Xiao Xun turned around and shouted: "Don't misunderstand, it was the Taifu who helped me come back."

Ning Kun was stunned, and the officials of the palace who came out were also stunned for a while. Could it be that what he said meant——.

"My son." Ning Kun took a step forward, "Could it be that he is the one you are talking about!"

Xiao Xun nodded: "It's him, it's Tai Tuo who helped me—" After talking about this, he ignored them and only looked up at Deng Yi, pleading in his deep dimples, "Teacher, save my father. "

Deng Yi looked indifferently, looking at the front hall.

"Deng, Grand Tutor, please save the prince." Ning Kun changed his words first, leaned over and begged.

Driven by him, other officials also spoke up one after another, and even the princess rushed out and knelt down, "Teacher, Tutor, save the prince."

Deng Yi glanced at them, then turned his gaze back to Xiao Xun, and said, "Your Majesty, please stand up."

Xiao Xun supported his hands, using his strength to stand up, but then fell weakly and swayed against Deng Yi's body.

Tie Ying called for Shizi to reach out to help, her voice and movements blocked the sight of others.

Xiao Xun approached Deng Yi and said in a low voice, "I will do what the Grand Tutor wishes, and the Grand Tutor must keep his promise."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Deng Yi to speak, he stood up straight with Tie Ying's support, and got out of the way.

Deng Yi felt a scroll stuffed in his sleeve, and he knew what it was without looking, so he couldn't help laughing.

it is good.

What a Xiao Xun.

What a loving father and filial son.

A good son inherits his father's will.

Without saying a word, he passed Xiao Xun and raised his foot forward, stepped on the steps and passed through the hall door.

……

……

Although he already knew, Deng Yi stood in the hall and was still in a daze when he saw King Zhongshan who was lying on the ground and ignored.

The scene of meeting King Zhongshan three years ago could not help but resurface.

In fact, it was also the first time he saw King Zhongshan with his own eyes. The previous few encounters were all through his subordinates.

The high spirits and arrogance of the prince could not be concealed by the crutches and limping legs.

Now, the gorgeous royal robes are still on his body, but he is like a fish thrown ashore to die.

People, in the hands of fate, they are really nothing.

He was distracted, and there were noisy inquiries beside his ears, "Deng Yi, you told the prince that the prince is in danger?" "You escorted the prince back?" "What's going on?" Fu, save the prince quickly."

Deng Yi withdrew his thoughts, and said lightly, "I can't save you."

"Who wants to kill the prince?" Ning Kun asked again.
