A mercenary in the world, a ruthless concubine

Chapter 54 Request for Disaster Relief
Such a serious situation in the warm pavilion in the lake will definitely alarm the emperor.

Qian Lingjue saw that the time was almost up, when suddenly he bent down and coughed violently.

Su Luo was concentrating on the progress inside, when he heard such a severe cough, he immediately understood and asked nervously: "Jue, what's wrong?"

Qian Lingjue covered his mouth and coughed in a rhythm that couldn't stop, Su Luo rolled his eyes when no one was paying attention, it's true that this trick is used every time, but every time it is tried and tested.

On the side, Concubine Qian frowned and said, "Princess Concubine should take the Crown Prince back quickly. The Crown Prince's health is weak, so it's better not to touch these patients, so as to avoid even more trouble."

Su Luo looked apologetically at the busy maidservants: "Please tell Concubine Qian to Concubine Wan Gui, Luo Er and His Royal Highness will go back first."

"Okay, don't worry!" She smiled slightly to express her understanding.

After walking out of the warm pavilion in the lake, Qian Lingjue became a normal person in a short while.

Su Luo looked at him amusedly, he really didn't understand why he was like this, his father is just so there's no need to avoid him!

When returning to the carriage, Qian Lingjue, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "You are too risky about what happened today."

Su Luo smiled slightly and didn't care: "So what, I'm afraid she won't deal with me."

By shifting the focus, Qian Lingjue is more at ease in doing things.

When he frowned, he knew that Su Luo was definitely not the kind of person who did things recklessly, so it was because of him...

The current situation in the court is complicated. Qian Lingjue, the prince who has been silent for ten years, is gradually emerging today. At this moment, many people are in a wait-and-see state. If he shows weakness, many people will fall to the Wan family. If this balance If his strength falls to one side, it will be very difficult for him to recover.

But his world never needs the sacrifice of his own woman...

And... There was a little bit of starlight in his deep eyes, he was not as weak as she imagined.

In the evening, the news came from the palace, saying that Qian Yufan had a high fever and frightened everyone to be at a loss, Concubine Wan Gui was very itchy all over, no matter what medicine was used, it was useless, she had diarrhea so that she had no energy to speak at all.

Su Luo and Qian Lingjue were eating at that time, so they didn't react at all, which was within their expectations.

Du Yun walked in hastily: "His Royal Highness, all the people you sent to look for Xuelian were buried by the avalanche, and no one survived."

Su Luo paused with the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and looked at him in a daze: "How could it be..."

Qian Lingjue held her hand and patted it comfortingly: "How are the people in Cangzhou?"

"Most of them are suffering, and now they are doing rescue without any clue. The situation is quite serious." Du Yun looked solemn.

Standing up, Qian Lingjue said, "Enter the palace to face the saint!"

Su Luo panicked and said, "I'll go with you!"

My own martial arts are trivial, but how can I ignore so many human lives? Although she was born as a mercenary and her life was like grass, she never killed innocent people indiscriminately. After coming here, she understands people's hearts better than anyone else. win the world.

Qian Lingjue turned around: "You stay at home, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will be back in a while."

She is very strong but she is a girl after all, she has no internal strength, and he will be very worried if someone cares about her.

In the imperial study.

Qian Lingjue had been waiting for an entire hour, but the emperor still hadn't arrived.

The eunuch who was in charge of the notification saw the prince's dignified face and felt extremely disturbed. The icy man actually started to break out in a cold sweat.

"What's going on, why hasn't Father come here yet?" He asked impatiently.

The eunuch tremblingly said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, the emperor is at the place of Concubine Wan Gui..."

Before the eunuch finished speaking, Qian Lingjue pushed him away and walked towards the harem.

"His Royal Highness..."

Walking fast along the way, he arrived at Fengzao Palace of Concubine Wan Gui in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the Fengzao Palace was brightly lit, but it was no longer a scene of singing and singing, and the groans of Concubine Wan Gui at this time were enough to make people feel scary.

"His Royal Highness, please stay. The emperor told me that no one is allowed to enter at this moment!" Ji Changyu, the commander of the imperial forest army beside the emperor, stopped him with a tiger step.

Qian Lingjue stopped in his tracks and looked ready to go: "I have something urgent to see the emperor."

Ji Changyu thought for a while and said: "Please wait here, the prince, and the subordinates will go and report."

He has always known that the prince's health is not good and he should not be agitated at all. If he forcibly stops him at this moment, it may be more complicated than it is now.

After a while, Ji Changyu came out and saluted respectfully, and someone led him outside the dormitory.

"I will see my father!" He said loudly outside the dormitory, and then panted a few times, as if he was unable to do enough.

The emperor looked at Concubine Wan Gui who had been holding onto her and refused to let go, and asked loudly inside: "What's the matter, you want to rush into the palace at such a late hour?"

Qian Lingjue lifted his clothes and fell to his knees on the cold green brick floor: "I also ask the father to open the storehouse and release the beams to save the people of Cangzhou!"

It was quiet inside for a while, and then heard the sound of footsteps without hurry, Qian Ao announced that the yellow brocade robe was standing in front of him, and behind him was Wan Mingyuan with a sad face.

"I already know about the avalanche in Cangzhou, but the treasury is too empty to support such a catastrophe, you know that!" Qian Ao said coldly, he, who has always been lustful, has no trace of obscenity.

Some old faces have the usual imperial majesty.

Qian Lingjue's expression was slightly cold: "Could it be that the father just let the people of one side ignore it because of the empty treasury?"

His voice was cold, questioning and reprimanding.

"Presumptuous! As the prince, why do you question my decision so much!" He was a little angry. There have been so many things happening one after another recently, so naturally he is not in a good mood.

Qian Lingjue was not afraid, coughed a few times and said resolutely: "Father, please give my son the greatest authority, and go to rescue the victims."

The voice is not loud but it is resolute and tenacious. It is the first time in so many years that he has expressed himself so strongly.

Qian Ao looked at this son quietly, he always knew that he was very strong, but unfortunately his mother and concubine died early, in order to keep him he had to...

But after so many years, he was as stubborn as his mother, everything he did was for him...

This is Wan Mingyuan, who has never spoken, suddenly kneels down with Qian Lingjue:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. This time such a big famine will definitely cause panic among the people. It would be good to let the old officials take the place of the Crown Prince to stabilize the hearts of the people!" Wan Mingyuan's old eyes flashed shrewd light. .

Qian Ao looked at him, with unclear hesitation in his eyes.

Qian Lingjue gave Wan Mingyuan a cold look: "Concubine Wan Gui is suffering from a strange disease. It may not be appropriate for Prime Minister Wan to leave rashly at this time. Besides, this Palace can be replaced by anyone."

How could he not understand what he meant, he had to go to Cangzhou by himself.

"It's a painstaking effort to ask my father to complete it. I feel that my mother and concubine's spirit in heaven will definitely agree." He kowtowed deeply, and his attitude was so firm that it was impossible to refuse.

Qian Ao sighed, he would always be defeated by this son, and raised his head to look at the dark sky in the distance.

A woman's delicate and lovely face appeared in front of him. He still remembered that it was a winter night many years ago. It was in Cangzhou when he was the prince, and he met her concubine mother...

Everyone said that Qian Lingjue's mother and concubine were of low status. In fact, no one knew that this woman was an orphan of the former dynasty who was more noble than anyone else. He could hide it only because he was worried that others would make a big fuss about it. She has a despicable identity, but she didn't expect to be unprotected.

"Since you are so determined, then I will fulfill you. This is God's order for you to hold the card. After another three days, the treasury will allocate 30 taels of gold to you as a disaster relief fund. Two-thirds of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Forest Army will be mobilized for you. In addition, I will let your father-in-law, General Su, go to rescue the disaster together, and you can figure out the rest yourself!" Handing over a shiny gold medal in his hand.

"Your majesty must not..." Wan Mingyuan's heart suddenly jumped. If this is the case, his power is greater than that of the Wan family. Such a thing must never happen.

Qian Ao frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Prime Minister Wan has a better solution?"

Wan Mingyuan lowered his head, his words just now were completely out of proportion.

"Your Majesty forgive me, the old minister just thinks that the prince is already weak. Let's not talk about the turbulence for thousands of miles, let's say that the environment and climate in the disaster area are very bad, and there is heavy snow all over the sky. If it hurts the body, wouldn't it be a disservice to Yunguo?" Irresponsible!" If he was allowed to go on this trip, it would be a return to the mountain.

In the past ten years, the crown prince has not made any achievements at all with the court because of showing his weakness to others. Therefore, although the Wan family fears him, they never take it seriously.

He has been establishing the image of an upright prince for Qian Yufan, but it is a pity that Qian Yufan has been ignorant and incompetent. It is very difficult to do everything secretly. He knows the importance of people's hearts, so this time he must not be let out, even if it is If you go out, you must never come back alive!

Qian Ao looked at Qian Lingjue and asked worriedly: "Jue'er's body..."

Although he knew that his body was fine, he still looked very worried.

"My son recently found a famous doctor to treat him and he is fine!" He said with certainty.

"Hehehe... It seems that the princess I chose for you is very good at taking care of people!" He suddenly felt better, and his son who had been silent for many years was finally willing to officially face the throne.

He privately attributed this matter to Su Luo's credit.

Wan Mingyuan's heart turned sharply, and he had an idea: "Your Majesty, you forgot that His Royal Highness still needs to prepare for a state banquet."

Qian Ao waved his sleeves: "Tomorrow you declare to the world that the crown prince needs to go to Cangzhou for disaster relief, and we will celebrate this state banquet with him when he returns victorious."

"Thank you, father, for your success." Qian Lingjue's cold face was still deserted, but there was a rare sense of gratitude in his eyes. For so many years, he fought alone, and he always thought that Qian Ao was simply a drunken emperor. , It turns out that he also has his own ideas.

Qian Ao looked at him, as if he saw the woman from before, they really did.

This is also the reason why he has rarely seen him for so many years. The memories are too good, and all that person left him is the cruelty of reality.

"Ji Changyu, you and the prince will go together for disaster relief this time, and you must keep him safe."

"Changyu obeys!"

Ji Changyu knelt down on one knee without hesitation, with a calm expression.

Qian Lingjue suddenly remembered something: "Father, father-in-law is already old, and I think that there is no need for General Su to travel thousands of miles with the help of Ji's guards. Please take back your order."

He has his 20 army in his hand, what else is needed!

The emperor pondered: "Alright, it's rare for you to be considerate of your elders. I'm very pleased."

After bowing his hands and saluting, Qian Lingjue said solemnly: "I will not let my father down, and this disaster relief will definitely save the people of Cangzhou from suffering."

Wan Mingyuan saw that the matter had been settled, and Qian Lingjue's trip to Cangzhou was a certainty. He revealed his thoughts in words, and he chose to keep silent.
