Chapter 443
into the night.
"Master, you are back." The charming woman stepped forward to undress her tired husband.
"Hey, yes." Lord Fang expressed helplessness in his tone, looking at his worried expression, "But what happened in the court? The master always returns so late these days."
"Master Hetian, Lord Lin has been sitting with Lord Changqing for a long time." Lord Hou's anger is hard to appease, if His Highness is stubborn, there may be another undercurrent in the court.
Lord Changqing?The woman immediately understood what was going on, "But for the sake of success?"
"How does Madam know?"
The woman put her clothes aside, "Recently, my concubine and several wives have often visited Mrs. Changqinghou's place as guests, and they are all talking about the Empress Dowager. Now that the crown prince and concubine are about to give birth, this empress naturally belongs to the empress concubine." It's over." So they wanted to go there early to congratulate, so as to leave a good impression on Mrs. Hou Ye, and many people proposed marriage to the concubines of the Hou Mansion for their sons.
Lord Fang frowned, "In the future, don't go to Changqinghou's mansion."
"Why, has something changed in the past?"
"...Well, the crown prince wants to make the imperial physician the empress, and today the court and China are arguing over this matter."
The woman's eyes widened, the news was too unexpected, "Isn't the Imperial Physician in Yi Country?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Master Fang only felt very disturbed, waved his hands and walked straight to the couch, and soon after lying down, there was a voice.
As soon as the candlelight in the house dimmed, several black shadows quickly passed through the roof, and finally landed in the yard, hiding in the dark.
There was a muffled thunder, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of crisis, and the big raindrops fell on the capital of Chen Kingdom.
The night was deep, and three black shadows fell on the roof. They removed a few tiles and looked at the two people who were sleeping deeply inside.Then it fell silently, slowly approaching the unaware Master Fang.
There was a flash of silver light, and a burst of warmth sprayed on the face of the sleeping woman. The woman just wiped it with her hand in a daze, then turned her back to the man in black.
In the blink of an eye, there was no third figure in the room, and the rain outside seemed to wash away the restless night.
rumbling...
A heavy muffled thunder woke up the woman on the couch. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, looking at the dimly lit sky outside.
"Why are the windows open? It's raining heavily..." She murmured, then got off the couch lightly, walked over to close the window, but in the dimness, she saw a dark red in the palm of her hand, Startled for a moment, "What is this?! Master...Master..."
Just as she was about to ask the man on the couch for help, she turned around and her shadow fell in the mirror in front of her. At this second, her body stiffened instantly.
Is it her illusion?At that moment, she saw bloodstains on the face of the person in the mirror, slowly moving her eyes, the woman finally saw clearly, there was a large bloodstain on half of her face, she looked very horrified people.
"what--"
The earth-shattering screams attracted the servants who woke up in the morning, and they pushed open the door and chased in, "Ma'am? What happened? Ah——"
When the maids saw the woman's face, they were so frightened that they forgot to react.
"A lot of blood, this, this is..."
Soon, the servants also rushed in, "Huh? Ma'am..." Everyone realized that something was wrong, and their eyes fell on the couch, only to see a shocking column of blood on the body of the man in white obscene clothes! "My lord! Come on, come!"
They rushed over and saw that Mr. Fang's face had turned purple, and there was a deep wound on his neck, and the blood had solidified.
……
Morning above.
Many ministers got soaked in their official uniforms and stood in the hall waiting for the arrival of the prince.
"Hey, why haven't Lord Lin and Lord Fang come today?"
The Marquis of Changqing in front of him turned around suspiciously, and sure enough, the place where the two adults were originally was was empty.They went back very late yesterday, did something happen.
After a while, the prince came out of the inner hall, looked around with cold eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"His Royal Highness is blessed and safe."
"Doctor Hu."
"My minister is here." Hu Yuyi stood up again, his heart sank, His Highness really persevered.
"Since Doctor Hu is old, why don't you personally choose a suitable candidate from the Royal Hospital to go to the Kingdom of Yi?" Voices of disapproval.
Everyone looked at each other, Master Fang and Master Lin who were the most daring to speak were not there, and no one stood up.
Seeing that no one was speaking for him at this time, Imperial Doctor Hu could only bite the bullet and salute, "I obey the order."
Marquis Changqing couldn't help shaking the hand in his sleeve, and he slightly turned his head to look at Marquis Chang Rong opposite, his gaze seemed to be full of endless protest.
"His Royal Highness..." Finally, some ministers couldn't help but stand up. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a father-in-law hurried in from outside, and knelt down in front of everyone with a plop.
"His Royal Highness, there was a letter from outside the palace just now, Mr. Fang and Mr. Lin..."
"Say something slowly and clearly, what's wrong with them." Dongfang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice was extremely clear, and all eyes immediately focused on the father-in-law.
The father-in-law took a deep breath, "Lord Fang and Lord Lin were found assassinated and killed in their own mansion this morning!"
"What?! This, how could this be..."
Everyone was shocked, Lord Fang and Lord Lin died?
"Oh? Really?" Who knew that Dongfang Xu's tone didn't have the slightest surprise. His understatement caused everyone to raise their heads in surprise, only to see a strange smile on His Highness's handsome face. This smile They couldn't help but feel a chill all over, and they immediately understood something in their hearts.
Assassination...Yesterday, they all stood up against His Highness, but in the end...
Soon, the last words of the prince yesterday appeared in everyone's minds, "This hall has made up its mind, if the adults still object, then we can discuss it after tomorrow."
No wonder His Highness wants to discuss after yesterday, but His Highness actually...
Many ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at this handsome and young face again. Dongfang Xu's gaze leisurely fell on Changqinghou's incredible expression, but he did not dodge in the slightest.
He is not afraid of others knowing what he is doing, he is just killing chickens to make an example of monkeys, doing what emperors would do.
If these courtiers were loyal, then naturally no one would dare to object to his decision in the future.
Ji Jin frowned tightly. He looked at the father-in-law on the ground, then at Lord Changqing, and finally at the prince. He never thought that His Highness would do this for Yun Shu.
"Lord Fang and Lord Lin have made great contributions to the imperial court for many years, but now they are unfortunately assassinated. If they come, they will reward their families with a hundred taels of gold, and don't stay in the sad place of Kyoto anymore." Dongfang Xu waved his hand, and everyone was even more shocked Shake, His Highness is going to send the family members of the two adults away from Beijing?
"Master Tian, did you have something to say just now?" Dongfang Xu smiled slightly, looking at Mr. Tian who stood stiffly in the hall and had already forgotten to respond.
"Ah?" The other party raised his head in a daze, obviously not digesting the shocking news just now. "This... I want to say that there are many talented people in the Imperial Hospital, and Mr. Hu should choose a young and promising imperial doctor to go to Yi Kingdom."
Many ministers buried their heads even lower, especially those ministers who said a word or two of objection yesterday, but they dare not say a word at this moment.
Lord Changqing's chest heaved violently, but reason told him not to be impulsive, for the sake of his own daughter, he could not even have a direct conflict with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Today's Highness is frighteningly unfamiliar.If he contradicted the prince impulsively, he still didn't know what kind of means he would use to deal with Changqinghou's mansion.
This world is really the most terrifying. When the prince still needed their Marquis, he was so pious and humble, but now... his daughter, after the prince ascended the throne, was relegated from the side concubine to the concubine, but she is still the prince. A pawn in the hand!What can they do to the Houfu!
It was him, he was the one who killed Lord Fang and Lord Lin, they died because of him.
"Well, Mr. Tian is right. Do you have any other opinions?"
"No, no no no..."
Everyone shook their heads.
There was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of Dongfang Xu's mouth, he had thoroughly tried the joy of victory today.This is the authority that a king above ten thousand people should have, and he will never let anyone hinder his decision again!
It was early morning, and the palace road in the rain looked extremely cold.
"Hold on, Lord Hou."
The carriage of the Marquis of Changrong stopped quietly, and the man in the carriage opened the curtain, and saw the prime minister's carriage chasing up from behind.
"Master Hou, today's matter is Master Hou's idea?" Yesterday, Ji Jin caught Dongfang Xu's eyes on Chang Ronghou.
Marquis Changrong pretended to be surprised, "What do you mean, my lord?"
Ji Jin just looked at the other person's expression like that, as if he wanted to see something from it, but then he said something meaningful, "Master Hou, it's exactly the same as before."
"..." Marquis Changrong raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that the prime minister had intentions for Yun Shu, so he just regarded her as a sign of loss because he couldn't get it.
Ji Jin put down the curtain of the carriage, "Let's go." Soon, he left the carriage of the Hou Mansion behind.
He knew that if someone hadn't pushed behind him, the prince might not have used such cruel means to force the ministers to obey.He couldn't help but start to worry about the future of Chen Country, and he couldn't help but start to doubt his original opinion.
Prince, will he really be a Mingjun?
……
"hiss--"
"Your Majesty?!" The maid next to her stepped forward nervously, and Du Yuanxiu looked at her pricked fingertips, which were already oozing a little scarlet.
"Your maidservant will bandage up your empress..."
"No, just a little injury." Du Yuanxiu put down the half-sewed child's bellyband in her hand, and slightly stroked her swollen abdomen. What's the matter with this uneasy feeling in her heart?
