Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 469 Sleepy

The Supreme Lord's face was covered with a layer of anger, and he stood up and said, "I will take Zhou Yan to check on the prince's condition. If it is feasible, we will pack up and set off.

"I'll leave Han Mian to you. You can deal with those two people.

"I don't want to see them anymore."

Emperor Zhaoming also stood up, crossed his arms and nodded, "Yes, son, I'll make a note of it."

Zhou Yan took a few quick steps, got ahead of Tao Xingjian, and quickly opened the door curtain for the Supreme Lord.

Outside the tent, Yun Guang and Feng Bingzheng were each supported by a personal soldier. They were groaning limply, looking as if they were saying, "I'm so badly injured that I'm almost dying."

The Queen Mother didn't even glance at them. She turned her head and said to Zhou Yan, "Send your daughter here as soon as possible. The Queen Mother needs lively girls around her." Then she walked back to her tent.

Zhou Yan, on the other hand, could not swallow the anger in his heart no matter what. After the Supreme Lord entered the tent, he took a few steps back and smiled sinisterly at the two of them:

"I am such a rough guy, I didn't even say goodbye to you two adults! You two, please take care of yourselves! Otherwise, we won't see each other again in the future!"

As he spoke, his disdainful gaze circled around the two men's waists and hips, then he turned around and laughed toward the sky, strode forward, said "Come in", and lifted the door curtain to enter Tai Shang's tent.

Yun Guang remained silent, thinking secretly.

Feng Bingze groaned in tears: "I just groaned a few times in pain... Why would he... curse me like that..."

Tao Xingjian stood at the door of the tent, looking at the two men with a fake smile, and said, "Your Majesty has to serve the Grand His Majesty on his journey, so he has no time to see you two for the time being.

"You two should go back and continue to rest. Don't be impatient. When His Majesty is free, he will summon you two to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the two states next!"

This is, to share your power? !

Yun Guang and Feng Bing looked at each other, their eyebrows moved slightly, and they understood each other. They bowed to Tao Xingjian and begged in tears:

"Great eunuch, please allow me to report this matter. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with us! Our fault is that we were ignorant and delayed in the rescue!

"Please let the eunuch tell us that we are loyal to Your Majesty, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that! We hope Your Majesty will forgive us, and we will repay Your Majesty's grace with our lives!"

Behind the two of them, the Second Prince and Prince Kejin happened to come to see Emperor Zhaoming. Hearing the two of them crying, the Second Prince's face became more and more ugly. Finally, he closed his eyes and took two deep and long breaths before he calmed down again.

Without even looking at them, he walked straight up to Tao Xingjian and said, "Ajian, my grandfather ordered me to follow my father, and so did Uncle Kejin."

"Yes, Your Majesty is cleaning up inside. Second Prince, please go in." Tao Xingjian looked distressed and whispered,

"You haven't slept for two days and a night. The Lord will leave soon, so don't stay up all night. Take some time to get some sleep."

The second prince agreed with a smile, lifted the curtain and entered the tent. Prince Kejin followed him without saying a word.

Outside, Tao Xingjian responded impatiently with a few more words and then sent Yun and Feng away.

Prince Kejin asked for permission to continue accompanying the Supreme Lord: "Except for Zhou Yan, there is no one around him who can help.

"We can't let the old man worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation by himself, right? It's better for me to stay."

Emperor Zhaoming hesitated.

The second prince interrupted, "But Uncle Kejin, your thirst disease is most afraid of fatigue.

"This ordeal has already made your condition much worse. Doctor He said it would be best if you return to Beijing to recuperate."

Just as Emperor Zhaoming was about to speak, Prince Kejin shook his head again and again and said with a smile, "The Second Prince is wrong!

"Doctor He doesn't know that the Tiewang Mountain Palace is the best place to recuperate now. The capital city is probably even more chaotic than here.

"If I go back, will I not help your father and your uncle, Prince Duncheng, who are so busy that they can't eat or sleep?

"I might as well follow him to Tiewang Mountain! Besides, Doctor He and all the good medicines are following the Supreme Master now. If I follow the Supreme Master, won't I be able to get a cure?"

Emperor Zhaoming hesitated: "But my brother, can you hold on?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know my own body." Prince Kejin patted his belly and laughed, "I love eating and I'm afraid of death. How can I let myself down?"

Emperor Zhaoming finally made up his mind and nodded: "As you wish, my brother."

After the three of them had made their plan and packed up a little, they went to the Supreme Lord's tent together to help him set off.

Emperor Zhaoming summoned Doctor He to inquire about the prince's condition. Doctor He avoided the emperor and said with red eyes, "I'm afraid the prince is not well.

“I laid an ambush for His Majesty, saying that even if the prince is cured, he will be sickly and weak in the future, unable to generate energy or expend his energy.

"But I have to tell you the truth, Your Majesty. The prince lost too much blood and hit the back of his head when he fell to the ground. He may not wake up..."

As he spoke, tears began to fall.

Emperor Zhaoming felt dizzy and closed his eyes gently, staggering.

Doctor He hurriedly held him up and said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhaoming shook his eyes slightly, then opened them again, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's treat it first."

The army set out, and Tai Shang still brought his original group of troops, escorted by two thousand soldiers led by Zhou Yan, and headed straight for the Tiewangshan Palace in a mighty procession.

The army had gone far away, but Emperor Zhaoming still stood behind for a long time.

Tao Xingjian stepped forward and gently advised him: "The imperial doctors have a temperament. If a symptom is three points, they will say seven points. If a symptom is five points, they will say ten points.

"Besides, the prince was shot by an arrow, which was an external injury. Doctor He is not very good at it.

"Don't worry, we have the secret medicine made by our ancestors in the palace, and we will be able to save the prince!"

Emperor Zhaoming said nothing and turned back.

The second prince on the side did not say anything and just followed.

After entering the tent, Emperor Zhaoming was about to raise his hand when the Second Prince rushed forward and clasped his fists: "Father, I have something to say."

Emperor Zhaoming raised his eyebrows and said, "Speak."

"Father, are you going to summon those two military governors?" Anger flashed across the Second Prince's face.

Emperor Zhaoming's fingers trembled slightly, slowly curled up, and quietly clenched into a fist: "So what?"

"Father, I am offended!" The second prince lifted his robe and knelt down, "Father, please do not use ministers like the two governors Yun and Feng!"

Emperor Zhaoming's fingers suddenly loosened, he held his knees, leaned forward, and looked at his second son who was kneeling on the ground: "Oh? Why?"

"The Crown Prince was stabbed and seriously injured, but as his subjects, they were neither sad nor angry or guilty, but just shirked responsibility and distanced themselves from the matter!

"People like this don't even care about the life and death of the crown prince, so how can they care about the people and the country!? They only care about their own glory and wealth!

"Father, how can such a utilitarian villain be a good governor and parent?

"Please, father, be close to the wise ministers and stay away from the villains!"

The second prince was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

Emperor Zhaoming had been looking at him with a gentle expression. When he heard the last part, he chuckled and said, "My son, are you comparing your father to that useless person?"

The second prince's face changed, and he fell to the ground with a shudder: "I dare not!"

"Then stand aside, watch carefully, and learn well!" Emperor Zhaoming smiled and told Tao Xingjian,

"I am sleepy, and the Second Prince is also sleepy, we both need to take a nap.

"Come back Feng Ziying, tell us to get up!"
