Chapter 464 Scolding
After saying this, Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, took another half step forward, and whispered in his ear: "And Zhou Yan..."
Zhou Yan?!
The commander of the Xiangping Camp, who was given the title of General of the Zhenjun Army. The youngest and most powerful general personally selected by the Supreme Lord -
He actually came here in person, how could it be so tragic here?
"He heard that something was amiss, so he didn't dare to lead the army. He only brought 20 personal soldiers with him and sneaked here.
"After arriving at the place, he sent two people back to mobilize the troops, and he accompanied us to kill the enemy... Now he is tied up by the Supreme and is in the next room, and he is seriously injured..."
Feng Ziying looked at Emperor Zhaoming's expression carefully.
"Where are the troops?"
"I don't know who he sent back. After the war was settled, another copy of the imperial edict with the seal of the Supreme Lord was sent out. I think it should arrive in half a day."
Emperor Zhaoming was silent for three breaths before he looked up at Doctor He and asked, "How is the Crown Prince?"
Doctor He had already knelt down, shaking. When he heard such a calm question, he immediately burst into tears and answered with a sob:
"I tried my best to protect the prince's heart, but I was really short of medicine..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice outside shouted in a hoarse voice: "Medicine, medicine! The medicine has been delivered!"
Tao Xingjian, who had tiptoed into the room behind Emperor Zhaoming, flew into a rage. He turned and ran out without even opening his eyes. He kicked the man who stumbled towards him to the ground, gritted his teeth and shouted in a suppressed voice:
"Why are you howling! Who taught you the rules?! Bring me the medicine! Get out of the way!"
The person who was kicked flying was Tao Xingjian's second disciple, the person sent by Tao Han to deliver medicine. Behind him was the second prince who had just been helped down from his mount and was walking slowly towards him.
Hearing this, the Second Prince took the bundle that the man was holding and pointed back: "Tao Ajian, there are two boxes of medicine in the back, and they are carrying them this way."
Tao Xingjian bowed to him and did not take the bag from the Second Prince. Instead, he supported his arm and whispered, "My little disciple is useless. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
The second prince shook his head: "He is also in a hurry. This bundle must contain important medicine."
The two men entered the house. The second prince first handed the bundle to Tao Xingjian and pointed at Doctor He, then he knelt down with difficulty and kowtowed to the emperor.
Emperor Zhaoming pointed to the bundle and said to Feng Ziying, "Take the medicine and give it to Zhou Yan first. I will go see him after I have spoken to His Majesty."
Feng Ziying was overjoyed and left immediately.
The Grand Master was stunned when he saw the Second Prince, and quickly reached out to pull his grandson up, his face full of anger, and he roared hoarsely at Emperor Zhaoming: "You are crazy!
"For something like this, it would be fine if you left the capital to those people with ulterior motives! How dare you bring him out too?!"
Emperor Zhaoming bowed and said, "In reply to your father's words..."
Almost at the same time as he spoke, someone came running over from outside and loudly announced at the door:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty: Chang'an Jiedushi Yun Guang and Yongxing Jiedushi Feng Bing have arrived with their personal soldiers! They are asking for an audience at the entrance of the post station!"
The post station no longer has an entrance.
So, this is right outside the house?!
Emperor Zhaoming straightened up and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Grand Master was also startled, and subconsciously exerted force with his hands, pinching the Second Prince so hard that it hurt.
The second prince let out a hiss!
Tai Shang was stunned and quickly let go of his hand.
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to wink at the Second Prince, and he also hurriedly asked, "Doctor He, is the medicine useful?"
The second prince quietly helped the emperor away, opened his mouth and cried, and rushed to the bedside: "Brother! Brother!"
Doctor He had just taken out a box from his bag, opened it, took out a porcelain bottle from the compartment and handed it to Feng Ziying, then took out another porcelain bottle, poured out two pills, and with a happy face, prepared a bowl of water, waiting for the pills to dissolve.
After hearing what Emperor Zhaoming said, and watching the Second Prince crying and making faces at him, he uttered two "ahs" and quickly knelt down in a sobbing voice:
"This, this, I will do my best..."
Feng Ziying frowned as he clutched the medicine bottle, turned his head to look at Emperor Zhaoming, received the hint, understood it, retreated to the side of Emperor Zhaoming, and stood quietly.
Emperor Zhaoming simply shouted at Doctor He in a hateful voice: "If anything happens to the Crown Prince, Doctor He, you will go with him!"
After saying that, he slammed his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the house.
Feng Ziying followed him out quietly, then lowered his head and turned directly into the next room.
The Emperor Taishang was so angry at the sound of the Emperor slamming his sleeves that his eyebrows trembled and his hands on his knees could not help but tremble slightly.
The second prince, who had been crying for the prince, had already moved over, tightly held his hands, and looked at him worriedly.
Outside the window, the angry, sarcastic voice of Emperor Zhaoming sounded:
"The Emperor and the Crown Prince were in danger, and Dai Quan, the internal minister of Daming Palace, died while rescuing them. Nearly 300 imperial guards were killed, and Chang'an Posthouse was almost burned to the ground!
"You two actually showed up with me!
"I came here overnight from the capital!
"What about you?! Were you called out from your warm bed by your subordinates?!
"It took you three days to walk just a hundred miles! Did you crawl here like a turtle?!"
He was furious and kept scolding.
After hearing him speak, the Second Prince straightened up slightly, leaned on the Grand Master’s lap, and whispered comfortingly: “Don’t worry, Grandfather.
"Father asked us to bring all the miraculous secret medicines in the palace. They will surely save my eldest brother.
"The outsiders are ignorant, and Father doesn't want them to know the truth."
The Lord's emotions were slowly calmed down by his grandson's gentle voice. Tears welled up in his old eyes as he forced a smile.
She held his hand again, pulled him up, motioned him to sit on another chair, and sighed softly: "Good boy, good boy..."
After a pause, he quickly asked in a low voice: "How is the palace? Have you kept it from your grandmother?"
The second prince smiled bitterly, "Grandfather is very clear-sighted and has indeed not concealed anything. Grandmother insisted on coming and Father had no choice but to bring me along as well."
Tai Shang suddenly realized.
If the emperor and the crown prince are in danger, the emperor will definitely come. If the queen mother is willing to stay in the palace, then the palace and government affairs can be entrusted to her for supervision.
In this way, the palace has both a bold and capable empress dowager and a prince like the second prince who is about to come of age.
Even if the three most important people encountered troubles outside, with the Second Prince on the throne and the Queen Mother in charge of government in the capital, at least there would not be chaos under heaven.
But if the Queen Mother were to come, there would be no point in keeping the Second Prince - because by then the one with the most power in the palace would be the Queen who was not in her right mind.
It would be better to bring the second prince along at this moment. In this way, even if there is trouble in the capital, as long as Emperor Zhaoming issues an imperial edict, the second prince can be guaranteed to succeed to the throne.
Even if the whole army was annihilated outside, there would still be a queen and three princes left in the capital, which would be enough.
Thinking of this, Taishang knew that he had been a little hasty in getting angry at Emperor Zhaoming. But he had been strong all his life, how could he admit it?
