Chapter 88 Peach and plum
Emperor Jing Zhao stood there for a long time without saying a word, slowly clenched his hands behind his back, and just said: "The one who was injured was King An, not the crown prince."
The voice was as cold as the night wind, and everyone present trembled. The horrible and weird feeling gripped people's hearts. It didn't hurt, but it felt like being pressed by something and about to suffocate.
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve: "It is true that I made a mistake, the person inside is King An..."
The campaign against the remnants of the party was not made public because it was a secret operation.The people know that when the remaining party was wiped out, the Yanwu Army led by King An won a complete victory, but unfortunately King An was injured, and now he is recuperating in the mansion, thanking guests behind closed doors.
When the news reached Duke Zhong's mansion, He Zhan didn't expect Ning You to lose a leg, but it was a little strange.
Wasn't Ning Zuo the one who sent troops before?Why did he become Ning You again?
Ning You got married, there is really no reason to lead troops to conquer the remaining party at this time.
He played a few games of chess with others, and this matter was all in his mind. After much deliberation, the most likely thing was that Ning You went out to fight and Ning Zuo led the battle.
It was the first time for Jiang Guo's envoys to visit. As the crown prince, the prince must have the ability to deter everyone, lest Jiang Guo's infiltration forces make a big fuss about the crown prince.Under such circumstances, it was indeed dangerous for the crown prince to lead the troops in person. Emperor Jingzhao ordered Ning You to replace him, and then put the credit on Ning Zuo's head, which made Li Daitao stiff.
Ning You was inferior to Ning Zuo in terms of riding and shooting martial arts. To let him play, Emperor Jing Zhao was really not ordinary ruthless.
He Zhan thought for a while, his fingertips holding the chess were cold, and the black chess pieces landed heavily on the corner of the chessboard, giving up the game.
He Zhan felt that Ning You might have other thoughts about him, and he deliberately avoided the opportunity to meet Ning You after returning to Beijing, but He Zhan grew up with the two brothers Ning Zuo and Ning You. He has been reincarnated for so many lives, The most worry-free memories are all the scenes of stealing flowers and beating dates when they were young. For them, He Zhan really can't be the most hard-hearted.
He Zhan asked the housekeeper to bring some treasures from the storeroom as a congratulatory gift, and called the Taoist priest who recuperated his body in the mansion to go with him to Prince An's mansion.
It seems that the security inside and outside Prince An's Mansion has been strengthened, and all the patrolling outside are the Royal Forest Army in the palace.
Seeing the carriage of Duke Zhong's mansion stopped, several imperial guards came up, all with serious faces, one of them said: "Thank you from Prince An's mansion, the lord doesn't want to see anyone."
He Zhan's heart sank, he didn't get out of the carriage, and ordered someone to hand over the congratulatory gift to the imperial army: "I hope that King An will recover soon."
Since the other party didn't want to see anyone, He Zhan didn't force it, and returned home after giving the gift.
The guard at the gate turned to the backyard. Ning Zuo, it should be said that "King An" was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a flower pot in his hand to water the flowers.
Such a corner is actually similar to the structure of He Zhan's flower hall, even the species of flowers are exactly the same.People in the mansion said that Ning You would come to the flower hall every day to take care of the flowers and plants. After Ning Zuo was sent to Prince An's Mansion, the people around him began to respectfully respect him as "King An".
He understands his father's arrangement.It is precisely because of understanding that he began to deliberately follow Ning You's way of life.
Since he injured his leg, he has suffered from unbearable pain day and night, and his temper has become more and more irritable because of this crippled leg.
Many people came to visit the patients, but they were all refused to go back.It doesn't matter whether Ning Zuo wants to see her or not.
The boy ran over, Ning Zuo didn't have the temperament to water the flowers, he threw the flowerpot aside and called for someone to bring a walking stick.Holding on to the crutches, he stood on one leg for a while before he gritted his teeth and endured the pain to touch the injured leg to the ground. The pain was still cold and he couldn't exert any strength.
The servant just interrupted: "My lord, Duke Zhong has come."
Ning Zuo kept his violent eyes full of joy, and walked out of the flower hall on crutches as he spoke: "Where is Third Uncle?"
Before he could go out, the servant said again: "The Imperial Forest Army stopped him, and now the Duke has gone back."
"Let's go...? Who asked those dog slaves to stop him!" He was furious, "Go and call third uncle back!"
The boy hurriedly knelt on the ground, obeying his orders, but did not dare to move.The emperor personally issued an order to the people in Prince An's mansion that King An was not allowed to see anyone.
Seeing him not moving, Ning Zuo knew what he was thinking about, and the anger in his heart burned even more. He walked back to the flower hall on one leg, hit him with the crutch in his hand, and shouted: "This king wants to see him! Go and kill him!" He please come back! Go or not! Go or not!"
The boy blocked and beat him indiscriminately, screaming in pain, crying and saying, "I dare not, my lord, this is the emperor's will, I dare not!"
Ning Zuo's pain and depression for many days finally found an outlet. He knocked down all the flowerpots on the shelf with a crutch, and the debris mixed together with the soil, and some of them hit the boy, making him cry with tears. Come down, but you can only bear it.
Ning Zuo beat him hard, he didn't care about his injured leg, his right leg throbbed, the crutches couldn't support him, he fell straight into the mess, and fell in an extremely embarrassing situation.
The porcelain chip pierced into his flesh and blood, Ning Zuo screamed in pain, and then all of them turned into screams of pain.
How could someone as proud as him bear to be such a useless person?
Ning Zuo beat his injured leg frantically until the wound burst and blood oozes out.
The servants who had been hiding outside the flower hall and dared not come in rushed in, hugged Ning Zuo who was mad, and shouted: "King An! King An! Don't! Please! Don't do this!"
Not An Wang!He is not King An!
He is Ning Zuo!He is the prince!
The madness of King An alarmed the palace, and when the light of the night star soaked the sky, the queen and the prince came to visit Prince An's mansion together.
When the queen came, Ning Zuo smashed everything in the room, and anyone who dared to approach him would be beaten by him. The neat and clean room was full of mess, even his body was dirty.
"Emperor—"
The queen was outside the door, seeing this scene, tears streaming down her face.She bypassed the fragments on the ground and walked to the bed: "Why is my son in this state? What bastard thing offended you?"
The slave door knelt in a circle in the room, trembling, and hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.
"Queen, I don't want to be like this...I want to walk, I want to go out!"
"Just go if you want, you are King An, who dares to stop you?!"
Hearing that she also called himself King An, Ning Zuo pushed the queen away like crazy, shouting angrily, "I'm not! I'm not!"
He grabbed the pillow and threw it out, right on the screen.The person who was about to come in from outside the screen dodged and walked in slowly.
Seeing the visitor, a group of people lowered their heads even lower: "See His Royal Highness the Prince."
The queen was frightened by Ning Zuo's crazy appearance, her red lips trembled slightly, and she was speechless for a while.A warm hand rested on the empress's shoulders, that hand seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts, and the empress' mood slowly fell back, saying: "Prince, don't be like this... I will let the best imperial doctor Come to treat you, everything will be fine, I dare not underestimate you."
Ning You said: "Queen Mother, let Erchen talk to my younger brother for a while."
The queen thought that the two brothers had always been on good terms, and maybe he could listen to the prince's words better, so she patted Ning Zuo's hand: "I will come to see you often." She looked up, not letting her tears fall .
She heard from the imperial physician that Wang An's leg might never return to normal.Now everyone is hiding it from him, but it won't be long before King An will find out by himself.How will she face this son then?
Ning You sent everyone down, he sat down along the edge of the bed, and touched Ning Zuo's leg.
Ning Zuo felt annoyed when he saw the bright yellow robe on him, and said coldly, "Don't touch me."
Ning You said: "Don't let the servants see the joke, even if you lose a leg, you are still the prince of Jingguo."
"What? Are you teaching me a lesson?"
Ning You: "Brother, sooner or later we will have to change back. When the time comes, I will be responsible for the things you do. I will be a good prince, so you can't be King An?"
Hearing what he said, Ning Zuo frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm like a useless person now. The Royal Forest Army outside didn't come to protect me at all, they just wanted to lock me up! Presumptuous!" Presumptuous!" Ning Zuo clenched his fist and beat the bed several times.
Ning You comforted in a low voice: "This is the order of the father. Jiang Guo's envoys have passed Fenglinguan and will come to the capital soon. As long as you send them away, you will still be the prince, and your legs will be fine again." , These days, you need to take good care of your injuries." He lightly pressed Ning Zuo's leg: "If you keep going on like this, your injuries will only get worse."
Ning Zuo was discouraged: "Third Uncle came here today, I want him to accompany me to recuperate."
He Zhan always has various tricks to make him happy.In the past, when Ning Zuo suffered from the cold and couldn't go out to let the wind lie in his house every day, He Zhan would come in through the window and bring him all kinds of fun things.He Zhan was sickly when he was young, and he knew how to survive such painful days and how to make such days interesting.
Ning You said: "He is the Grand Master, he must be by the Prince's side."
Ning Zuo lowered his head wearily.Ning You exerted a little force on the hand on Ning Zuo's leg, and Ning Zuo gasped in pain, and shouted, "What are you doing!"
Ning You withdrew his hand and said, "Take good care of your injuries. Don't touch my things, flower hall, study, don't touch anything inside."
Ning Zuo didn't understand why Ning You cherished those flowers, and said angrily, "Isn't it just smashing your flowers? I'll pay you back later, and pay you better, isn't that okay?"
Ning You said: "There is nothing better than those. I will send someone to take good care of them. If you don't like them, don't touch them."
Ning Zuo was a little uncomfortable by Ning You's tough tone. Although he was unhappy, he knew he was wrong, so he just nodded in a muffled voice, and waved Ning You away: "Okay, I get it, you go."
Ning You didn't stay any longer, and after a few more words of advice to Ning Zuo, he left Prince An's Mansion.
The Imperial Forest Army stood upright and raised their heads, respecting and participating in the salute.Ning You ordered people to escort the queen back to the palace, while he dispatched a group of people to go with him to Duke Zhong's mansion.
He Zhan has been playing with his flowers since he came back from Prince An’s Mansion. It’s winter now. Although the flower hall has been warmed up, the growth of the flowers is still not good. However, the ivy spreads all over the flower stand, and it still looks green and full of vitality. .In addition, there are mostly plum blossoms in the flower pots, with fine stamens exhaling fragrance, and the light fat is pleasant. The more He Zhan looks at it, the happier he is, and he can't help humming Jiangnan ditties.
The moon was setting in the vestibule, and the clear wind was blowing in from the outside. He Zhan heard the footsteps, turned around and looked, and saw the moon stream falling on the clothes of the visitor, like picking up white snow all over his body, surrounded by clear frost , the flying dragon on the chest is Jiaojiao, as if it is about to fly out of it.
He Zhan stopped what he was doing, picked up the cloth hanging on the flower stand, wiped his muddy hands casually, and went forward to salute: "See the prince."
