Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 7

Walking back against the moonlight, Qiao Ye was a little depressed. The first day here was already so thrilling, and she didn't know how to live the next day.

Late at night, Seventh Prince's Mansion in the west of the city.

"Physician Sun, how is my master's injury?" Bai Zhi hurriedly grabbed him and asked after following the imperial physician out of the inner room.

"The seventh prince's wound was very deep. The assassin attacked from behind and pierced his chest with a sword. Fortunately, the two of you stopped the bleeding in time. Otherwise, if you lost too much blood, I am afraid that the old minister will be unable to recover." The old doctor Sun touched Touching his beard, "This wound is very close to the lungs, and I'm afraid it will leave a persistent illness. Miss Bai Zhi, it's not that the old man is talking too much, it's just that the Seventh Prince had an accident just one day after returning to Beijing. This is not the pain that I, the Great Chu God of War, should suffer. This injury is exploited by traitors, and there may be more right and wrong."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Physician Sun said yes."

"The old man will go back to the Imperial Hospital to dispense the medicine. After everything is settled, someone will be sent to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it." Imperial Physician Sun said as he walked out.

Seeing him leave, Bai Zhi was furious, and said to the man in black, "Mingjing, what do you say? The master was assassinated just after he returned to Beijing, that gang is really lawless!"

Mingjing never talked much and had no openings, but now his eyes were cold, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"The master is too careless, he didn't let us follow tonight, now that something happened, how can I explain to the soldiers?" Bai Zhi said again, looking into the inner room reproachfully.

Mingjing finally spoke: "This is the end of the matter, let's stop talking."

Bai Zhi sighed: "If I knew this would happen, I might as well stay at the border and not come back. What's the matter now?" She adjusted her mood, and said softly to Ming Jing: "I'll go in and see the master."

The man lying on the bed in the inner room was clearly awake, but his eyes were closed tightly and he didn't intend to open them.He heard what they just said, but what can be done?After defeating Yi Di, he had to return to the court immediately, otherwise the princelings would charge him with the crime of supporting the army. However, as soon as he returned to Chudu, all the military power would be returned to his father. There is not a single soldier in hand to deploy.He, the Seventh Prince of Chu, is a myth of the Chu Kingdom, but in fact, he can't even match the power of a vassal king.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered what that little girl said, she said, don't get hurt if you have the ability!

Chu Li smiled wryly, he was probably incompetent.

Opening his eyes, Chu Li said, "Bai Zhi, go and find out the origin of that killer named Ye Feng."

Bai Zhi was taken aback by his sudden opening, and said, "Master, you mean Ye Feng, the number one killer in Jianghu?"

"Yes." Chu Li replied quietly, "I heard the Funeral Song tonight."

"Soul funeral song?!" Bai Zhi broke into a cold sweat, "It is said that Ye Feng will play a funeral song before killing people, and the person he wants to kill has never missed, master..."

"Heh, this king is the first one he missed." Chu Li chuckled.

"No, master, your injury was not caused by Night Breeze." Mingjing stepped into the inner room, and continued: "People in the Jianghu gave Night Breeze a nickname - 'Hearing the Wind', he ranks No. [-] on the list of killers today The first one, he never misses when doing business, and never does a second business. Moreover, he is conceited and arrogant, and he doesn't bother to attack others from behind. It wasn't Ye Fengxia's hand. But that funeral song seems real."

"What's going on?" Bai Zhi was in a hurry, her temper was always fiery, and she couldn't compare to Qingjing, indifference and stability.

"Hehe," Chu Li smiled instead of anger, "Maybe, they made a big deal and bought a lot of people to kill me."

Bai Zhi was about to speak, when a slightly anxious voice came from the outer room: "His Royal Highness, the emperor was assassinated during the banquet in the palace, and you are told to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."

Chu Li propped himself up and sat up.

"Master, your injury..." Bai Zhi anxiously stepped forward to help him.

"Sure enough, the mountain doesn't turn and the water turns, I don't move but they move first." Chu Li raised his hand to stop her, "Prepare the sedan chair."

Concubine mother, look, this is the harem of cannibalism, if you want to walk in it with your head high, you must pay a lot of price.I have understood this truth since I was six years old...

In the middle of the night, the bright moon was sinking to the west, and the palace in Chudu was in chaos.

Chu Li got out of the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the Zichen Hall while holding on to the pain.The eunuch led the way, while Bai Zhi and Ming Jing followed closely behind Chu Li, fearing that he might make a mistake.

At the corner of the imperial garden, the road was blocked by people, so Chu Li had to stop——

"Ling Xiang, you don't need to say anymore, Xiao Wang, I suffered a loss tonight, and I have already learned the way of hospitality in your Xiangfu!" A clear voice sounded.

Ling Zongwu hurriedly apologized with a smile on his face: "The old minister sent people to search around the mansion, but they really didn't find the female ruffian that the young prince mentioned... I don't think there is any girl who has the courage to dare to fight against the young prince, maybe..."

"Hmph! Ling Xiang, do you mean that Xiao Wang is so full that I jump into your pool to take a bath by myself?"

Chu Li's face was as calm as water, it turned out to be Chu Mu, the young prince of Qingyi Palace.In this Chu capital, Chu Mu is also a well-known figure. When those princes and princes are busy, he is the only one who spends his days drinking and drinking, and lives happily, just like his father Qingyi Wang Chu Tianluo.Chu Li doesn't like Chu Mu, from the bottom of his heart.Maybe it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I can't understand his way of life, I can't agree with his idleness, and I can't look at people like him who get something for nothing with a normal heart.Therefore, Chu Li has always disdained Chu Mu.Also because of disdain, so there is little contact.

Ling Xiang saw Chu Li first, and hurriedly saluted. It was a good Mid-Autumn Festival, and he seemed to have provoked two people who could not be provoked. First, his foolish daughter swept away the elegant spirit of the Seventh Prince of Chu, and then in his Xiangfu Here let a "female ruffian" beat the little prince to the ground.Although he is an important minister of the imperial court, he is not comparable to the relatives of the emperor. These two are important figures in the capital of Chu, so naturally he cannot offend them.

"Master Ling, excuse me." Chu Li said lightly.

Chu Mu also saw Chu Li, squinted his peach eyes, and yawned: "Ling Xiang, don't block my way, I have to go to Zichen Palace, Xiao Wang, I don't have time to spend time with you, even if it is Digging three feet into the ground, you have to find that female ruffian for me. I still don’t believe it. Did your Xiangfu dig a hole? You can afford such a tough girl, and you dare not let her see anyone?” Chu Li paid attention to it, turned around and strode forward on his own.

Seeing his arrogant look, Bai Zhi wanted to rush over and give him a sword.Chu Li raised his hand to stop her: "Let's go too."

Chu Mu did it on purpose, he deliberately ignored Chu Li, deliberately walked in front of him, but walked slowly, without moving a step for a long time.He doesn't like Chu Li, not since he was a child.Over time, after so many years, every time he sees him, his dislike will quietly increase, and the reason is unclear.Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. In the final analysis, he and Chu Li are not the same kind of people, even their birthdays are completely different. One is on a day of great heat, and the other is on a day of great cold. They are completely opposite and out of tune.Besides, what Chu Mu is thinking about now is just a serious matter——

Ever since he was kicked into the water by that female ruffian, his reputation as a young prince has been ruined.He was successfully attacked by her again and again, which was the greatest shame in his life. When he was fished out of the pond and shivering with cold, he swore that even if he searched the entire Xiangguo Mansion, he would not be ashamed. To find her!Peel her skin, stretch her tendons, and see if she can still be rough on him!Anyway, he was very idle, caught her, and played slowly!

Since it's annoying to see each other, it's better to leave separately.

There are many paths leading from the Imperial Garden to the Zichen Hall. Chu Mu and Chu Li each take one, and Ling Xiang is in the middle. The aloof?
Arriving in front of the Zichen Hall, a large group of people waited anxiously in the dark, the door of the hall was closed tightly, and the imperial doctors came in and out.Chu Li frowned slightly, it seemed that his father was indeed seriously injured.The wound on his chest hurt like pulling, if he had to stand like this, he might fall down weakly at any time, just at this time, the door of Zichen Hall opened, and a eunuch came out and screamed: "Your Majesty announces that the Seventh Prince will have an audience. "

Chu Li kept silent and walked up the steps, wondering what kind of trap was waiting for him inside.

The door of the temple was quickly closed again, and the crowd outside the temple began to whisper:
"As expected of the Seventh Prince of Chu, His Majesty loves him, and the treatment is really different."

"Even if it is born of a barbarian concubine, it is His Majesty's flesh and blood after all, and it is naturally noble."

"Yeah, yeah... Do you know? There is a rumor among the people that it's either number one or number seven..."

Occasionally, two sounds came into Chu Mu's ears. He was chatting with Shang Shuling's son, and hummed disdainfully. Such praises made his ears callous since he was a child. What's the big deal?
When Chu Li entered the Zichen Palace, those busy imperial physicians bowed and retreated one by one.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has arrived." Eunuch Li, the personal eunuch of Emperor Chu, reported to the inside of the screen.

"Li'er, come in." Chu Huang's voice was thick and steady, perhaps because of his injury, he was slightly out of breath.

Chu Li turned the screen and bowed to the dragon bed: "Father Emperor."

"Li'er, what kind of courtesy do you need with your father? Come and sit down quickly." It was a woman who spoke, and her tone was full of reproach and teasing.

Chu Li's face remained unchanged, he raised his head and smiled at her: "Chu Li has seen the queen mother. It is a crime to come back in a hurry and have not had time to greet the queen mother." Before she could answer, Chu Li had already turned around and stood opposite her. The stalwart man in front of the dragon bed shouted, "Brother."
