Abandoned prince's favorite

Chapter 55

At dawn, the sky is dim.

The fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was finally extinguished. Wei Zhong and his men were cleaning up the battlefield, counting the number of casualties, and making sure that the people in the entire capital could resume their daily lives before dawn.

The dead bodies on the street have already been cleaned up and registered, just waiting for their families to claim them.

All aftermath matters are proceeding in an orderly manner.

The wind in the morning carried a hint of coolness, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was turned into a pool of ruins, occasionally had resurgent flames, which were quickly extinguished by the water, and the footsteps of the palace people who came and went were in a hurry.

It was destined to be a restless night, but everything returned to calm before dawn.

When the queen came in a hurry, she saw Xie Chengan standing outside the side hall from a distance. His robe was curled together by the fire, his body was full of stains, but his back was straight.

Wiping her tears, she wanted to step forward and hug Xie Chengan.

But Xie Cheng'an took a step back to avoid it, "My son, please pay respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is safe."

The queen's hand froze in mid-air, then hung down again powerlessly.

"I heard the report from the palace people, and the empress was very happy to know that you didn't die, but the fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was fierce just now, you really don't have to put yourself in danger. If something happens to you, how will the empress live?"

Xie Chengan clasped his hands and said: "My son is fine, father was also rescued, but he inhaled a lot of smoke and dust, he is now in a coma, the imperial physicians are taking care of him in the side hall, if the mother is worried, you can go in and have a look."

The queen nodded, walked for a while and then turned around and asked.

"What about the concubine?"

Xie Chengan replied: "Dead!"

A look of joy flashed across the queen's face, "It's all caused by this bitch, otherwise, where would these things happen? Now she is the one to blame for her death..."

Xie Cheng'an recalled that when he and Wei Zhong broke into the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, Concubine Duan's crazy appearance, she smiled happily, with smiles in her eyes, she danced and said that she was finally free.

It was the first time he saw that kind of smile on Concubine Duan Gui's face, it was as innocent as a cardamom girl.

Xie Chengan found Emperor Qianyuan who had fainted, and carried him out.

When he turned his head again, the flames had already engulfed Duan Guifei.

What kind of torture is it that can force people into such a state that they are not even afraid of being buried in a sea of ​​fire, yet they can laugh so happily?

He thought maybe what Concubine Duan had done was just seeking relief at this moment, right?

What throne, what glory, probably she has never paid attention to it.

He was staring at the morning star in the sky in a daze, when a little eunuch hurried over, "His Highness, the emperor has woken up and wants to see His Highness right now."

There is a strong smell of medicine in the side hall, and there is even a bitter taste in the air.

Emperor Qianyuan was lying on the bed, looking extremely weak.

Xie Chengan walked to the bed and saluted respectfully.

"My son pays respects to Father Emperor."

Emperor Qianyuan opened his eyes and looked at Xie Chengan who was kneeling not far away.

"Actually, you didn't have to take the risk to save me. Once Concubine Duangui died, the third child escaped. As long as I die, you will be a great hero who saved Da Zhou society from fire and water. Even without my edict and jade seal, you are still Da Zhou." future emperor."

Xie Chengan looked at the person on the bed coldly.

At this time, Emperor Qianyuan was extremely weak, no different from an ordinary old man, with wrinkles on his face and white hair on his sideburns, the moment memories overlapped, Xie Chengan remembered how majestic and strict his father was when he was a child, He never seems to be able to smile, and his face is always tense, making people daunting.

"I only want to be ashamed in my actions, and I saved you only because you are the father of the son, nothing else."

Emperor Qianyuan sighed, "You have such a temper..." He closed his eyes dejectedly, paused for a long time, and then opened them again, "Chuan Guo Yuxi and imperial edicts are placed in Lao Jiu's palace, Go get it yourself, I am old..."

He coughed violently.

Xie Chengan got up and poured him a cup of tea, after Emperor Qianyuan drank it, his face seemed to relax a bit.

"As an emperor, you can only be a ruthless person. If you touch your true feelings, you will have a handle and a weakness. I hope you will remember this. Emotions and anger are invisible, and your thoughts should not be easily guessed." out."

Xie Chengan lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"Does my father feel happy in this life? Is it worth it?"

Emperor Qianyuan was silent, his chapped lips murmured, and he spoke for a long time.

"As the emperor, I have no choice."

Xie Chengan cupped his hands and said: "Father, please rest at ease, there are still matters outside that I need to deal with, so I will leave first."

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Xie Chengan's leaving back, and stopped him again.

"The last thing I can do for you is to let you learn how to cut off love. I know that you have feelings for that little eunuch. I used to indulge you because the time has not come yet, but now..."

Xie Chengan paused, walked back angrily, and grabbed Emperor Qianyuan by the collar.

"If you dare to kill Bao'er, I will never forgive you until I die. Don't you love your country the most? I have 1 ways to make it rot quickly and die."

Emperor Qianyuan smiled.

"You won't, even if you are willing, your mother will not."

Xie Chengan twitched the corners of his mouth, a crazy and decisive look appeared in his eyes.

"Father, I think you made a mistake. I am Xie Chengan, I am not the eldest brother. Don't think that if you give me a life, I have to take my life and the life of my beloved to repay you. Father... ...You are so pitiful...Do you really think that everyone is like you and cares about this broken throne?"

He let go, and Emperor Qianyuan fell down.

"Father, you'd better pray that your people don't move so fast, otherwise I'll let you watch how your most valued Great Zhou Jiangshan was destroyed by me."

Xie Chengan strode away.

"Cheng Peng, prepare your horse!"

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Chengan, the situation in Beijing and China is uncertain, and your father is seriously ill, where do you want to go?"

Xie Chengan broke away from her and got on his horse.

"I have to save my love."

The queen pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her departure and stuck it to her neck, "If you dare to step out of the palace today, I will die right in front of you."

Xie Chengan glanced at her coldly, and said "drive" with his horse's belly in his hands, and the horse galloped away.

Cheng Peng followed behind him.

"Empress Empress?"

Xie Chengan sneered, "Don't worry, she doesn't want to die." If she was really that kind of person, she would have gone crazy to seek revenge on Concubine Duan when he died in Huaishui, but she didn't, instead she only wanted to contact her. The mother's family wants to find the next most suitable successor.

After all, she still loves her glory and wealth the most.

May I ask such a person, how could he refuse the position of Empress Dowager who is about to get it?

As soon as the two of them left the city, they ran into the dark guard who was injured and rushed back.

Cheng Peng hurriedly got off his horse, took the hemostatic powder for him and hurriedly said, "Didn't I ask you to personally protect Eunuch Yu? Why are you here?"

The dark guard endured the pain and replied: "The six subordinates obeyed Eunuch Yu's orders according to the commander's wishes. One went to Yujia Village to pick up people, the other went to deal with Ren Yazi, and the four subordinates accompanied Eunuch Yu to the city to find him. Sister, everything was going well at first, but when I left the city, I met a team of people. They were all masters. The subordinates who fought against them should be from Ouchi. The other three brothers died, and Eunuch Yu also After being captured by them, the slave listened to Eunuch Yu's words and risked his life to deliver the letter."

The dark guard said so many words in one breath, sweating profusely from the pain.

Cheng Peng took out the water bag and fed him some water, which made the dark guard feel better.

"Your Highness, don't get angry. Your subordinates have already quietly placed phantom fireflies on those people. As long as you look for the phantom fireflies, you will be able to rescue Eunuch Yu."

Xie Chengan's face was as gloomy as water.

"Cheng Peng, you are so courageous."

Cheng Peng knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness can punish his subordinates at any time. Right now, saving Eunuch Yu is the most important thing."

Xie Chengan didn't bother anymore, he took out a transparent glass bottle from his bosom, inside there was an adult magic firefly king, with a little green light on its tail, the magic firefly king naturally faced the ordinary magic firefly it gave birth to. Insects can sense, even if they are thousands of miles away.

He opened the cork, and the Magic Firefly King flew out.

Xie Chengan raised his whip and shouted: "Follow."

……

A group of people drove all night, and by the time it was almost dawn, they had already left the boundary of the capital.

In the carriage, the Third Prince stared at Yu Fengbao whose hands and feet were bound, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, "Tsk tsk, you are really handsome, no wonder Xie Chengan cares about you so much."

Yu Fengbao shook his head vigorously and broke free from his restraint.

The third prince chuckled, "Now I'm a bereaved dog, as long as I have you by my side, I will have an extra amulet. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but..."

A strange color flashed in his eyes.

Yu Fengbao panicked, "What do you want to do?"

The third prince reached out to touch his waist and rubbed it fiercely, "The waist is soft and thin enough, I must be good at bedtime, otherwise how can I hook my incomprehensible second brother? You fell into my hands, hehe... I am his brother, serving him is the same as serving me..."

Yu Fengbao wriggled and stepped back.

Suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, the horse's front legs were raised high, the carriage shook, and Yu Fengbao fell to the ground.

The third prince shouted: "What's going on?"

He was answered by the sound of fighting from outside.

The third prince was startled, did the pursuers catch up so quickly?

Fortunately, there were not many people chasing them, but they were very skilled. In addition to the few people who were lost outside the city gate before, although they would not be defeated now, they wanted to leave for a while but couldn't.

Just when the two sides were fighting inextricably, Xie Chengan chased after them.

Xie Cheng'an put the Illusory Firefly King into a glass bottle, raised his sword and killed him, like a god of killing, he came with his sword.

"Not a single one."

The few words he squeezed out between his teeth were as cold as coming from the ground.

Cheng Peng knew that he had made a mistake, and now the only way to survive is to save Yu Fengbao through meritorious deeds.

Soon the official road was full of corpses, and blood flowed all over the floor.

The third prince put the dagger on Yu Fengbao's neck, "Xie Chengan, tell your people to retreat, otherwise I will kill him."

Xie Chengan raised his hand, motioning for Cheng Peng to take his men back, and then walked forward alone.

"Xie Chenghe, if you let him go, I can consider saving your life. If you dare to hurt him, I will let you die for the rest of your life."

His expression was vicious.

The third prince swallowed subconsciously.

"Even if you are willing to let me go, my father will not forgive me. Now that my mother and concubine are dead, I...as long as you are willing to let me go, as long as I reach a safe place, I will definitely let him go."

Seeing Xie Chengan covered in blood, Yu Fengbao didn't know whether it was his blood or the blood of the enemy, and couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I..."

He didn't want to implicate him, but in the end he still implicated him.

Xie Chengan took a look at him, from just now until now he didn't dare to look at him, for fear of being distracted, seeing that Yu Fengbao was intact and seemed not injured, he was a little relieved and gave him a reassuring look.

"Bao'er, don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you. You haven't married me yet, how can I be willing to let you go?"

Seeing such a situation, the third prince pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I really can't tell, my second brother is still a lover..."

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fengbao in his arms bumped back, rolled out on the spot, and then raised his left hand.

"call out……"

A small hidden arrow shot out from the sleeve arrow, hitting the third prince's throat.

The dark arrow was smeared with poison.

The third prince clutched his neck and fell down with his eyes wide open.

"you……"

He didn't understand how Yu Fengbao broke free from the rope until he died.

Everything happened only while breathing. After Xie Chengan realized it, he ran over quickly, hugged Yu Fengbao into his arms, lowered his head and kissed his lips.

"Baby..."

Yu Fengbao broke into a cold sweat from the pain.

"Your Highness, you touched my wound."

Xie Chengan hurriedly raised his hands in fright, and asked anxiously, "Bao'er, where are you hurt?" Then he saw Yu Fengbao's right arm hanging by his side.

Yu Fengbao smiled at him.

"Your Highness, my hand is broken."

As soon as the battle started, he took advantage of the third prince's distraction, broke his right arm, and then reluctantly untied the rope.Later, Xie Chengan also came, so he temporarily changed his plan, and still pretended to be tied up.

Xie Chengan touched his shoulder, "Bao'er, bear with me, I will connect the bones for you first."

Yu Fengbao nodded.

"it is good!"

Xie Cheng'an's movements were fast and precise, only a "click" sound was heard, and the bones were connected.

Yu Fengbao was lying in his arms vainly.

On the distant horizon, a round of red sun is rising.

Xie Chengan felt his nose sore, "Bao'er, you didn't have to do this."

"so beautiful!"

Yu Fengbao looked at the sunrise, turned his head and covered Xie Chengan's lips.

If possible, how could he be willing to let Xie Chengan bear the crime and shadow of killing his brother.

For you, I would like blood on my hands.
