Chapter 64 Deep ambush
The emperor's supervision of the army is an annual event. The emperor came to the barracks in person and personally tested the results of the army's training this year. Generally, he only took the ministers, rarely the prince, thinking that anyone who took him to the barracks was either a candidate for a crown prince or a courtier with high expectations. If the emperor brought this fake Didn't the illegitimate son go to supervise the army tell the courtiers that the illegitimate son is already among the candidates for the crown prince of Jing Donghua?
"It's just a person of unknown origin who suddenly appeared. Why was he treated so well in just a few days?" Qin Yunuan was puzzled. Before, she and Leng Changxi thought that this fake was just a general person, so she had some ability.
"It's not Jing Yuanchu's manipulation. To be honest, the illegitimate son he brought back is almost the same as the emperor in terms of appearance, speech and demeanor. In addition, the subsequent blood to recognize the marriage, there is no doubt. After that, Jing Yuanchu continued to create opportunities for the illegitimate son and the emperor, and later the emperor learned that the name Du Wei's illegitimate son is a master and favors him even more. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Bai Shishi told each other bluntly and looked anxious. Du Wei's favor was equivalent to Jing Yuan's first gain of power. Now Jing Donghua has been repeatedly sick, and Jing Yuan's filial piety has also been twenty-three. It is a matter of time before the monarch changes his position.
"It's really him." Qin Yunuan wiped the thin sweat on her forehead for the eldest princess who had been basking in the sun for half an hour, and called Cai'er to push the eldest princess into the house. This is what she said to Bai Shishi, "The army has been supervised for half a month. There will be many accidents on the way. Never let the emperor and these two people stay alone for so long."
"I agree," Bai Shishi glanced at Qin Yunuan and said earnestly to Qin Yunuan, "Mrs. Leng, the prince of the army will also go this time. If you and Mr. Leng are willing to take risks and protect the prince for me, I will definitely protect the princess in the palace."
The power and status of the crown princess in the palace is far higher than that in the barracks. Such an arrangement is undoubtedly the best.
"Hmm." Qin Yunuan nodded and agreed.
Three days later, the team of the supervisor set out from Xiliang City and went to the yellow flag barracks in the north. Zhang Chengduan, the elder of the emperor, who was an official in the three dynasties, was loyal and kind, and several other powerful ministers in the dynasty. In the royal family, there were two princes Jing Yuanchu and Jing Yuanxiao, and the sudden appearance of the so-called Du Wei, the illegitimate son.
The emperor's carriage walked in the front, and the bright yellow winds that the emperor could use sway down from the cover of the car. It should be with the newly blooming white plum blossoms by the street. Jing Yuanxiao, as the prince, followed the carriage closely behind the emperor. Although the prince's reputation is not as that of Jing Yuanchu in Xiliang City, and in the face of the carriage When he came to Chujun, the people of Xiliang City still scrambled to see Jing Yuanxiao's face.
"Get out of here." The soldier who stood at the outside responsible for maintaining order and stopped the people fiercely scolded an old lady who tried to squeeze forward. The old lady looked at least as old, unable to walk steadily, weak and her clothes seemed to be shouting something.
"Hence." Seeing that the soldier was going to kick the old man, a big maid next to Jing Yuanxiao's carriage took the initiative to stand up.
With the name of the prince, it was really useful. The soldier looked at the maid beside the prince, dressed in simple and restrained cyan clothes, but there was always an unusual aura between his eyebrows. The soldier's eyes immediately restrained a little and took a few steps back. The big maid stepped forward. Help the old man up.
"Old man, are you all okay?"
"It's okay," the old woman looked at the team and carefully glanced at everyone who passed by. She didn't even let go of the maids and maids next to the carriage. "I'm going to find someone to find my handsome son."
"Your handsome son?" The maid in blue turned around and glanced at the full little guard, "Is your handsome son working in the palace?"
"No, no." After all, the old woman was so old that she couldn't speak clearly. The maid in blue didn't understand the rest of the words, but the prince had sent someone to urge her. The prince's team had gone far away. After confirming that the old woman was in good health, she turned around and was about to leave, but saw that the old woman suddenly looked excited. He waved his arm against a sedan chair.
The maid in blue subconsciously looked back and happened to see Du Wei's carriage passing by, and the beige wind was swaying in the wind, so that the maid in blue happened to see the appearance of the person inside.
I have to admit that Du Wei's appearance is much more similar to Jing Donghua than the relationship between Leng Changxi and Jing Donghua. The girl in green looked at the prince's carriage from afar, glanced at the old woman, and lowered her head to urge her maid, "Let's go."
This episode was soon forgotten. Huangqi's barracks was only 30 miles away from the capital. That night, the emperor arrived, and the camp soldiers led by General Meng Zhen went out to greet him and took Jing Donghua into the most luxurious two-story attic in the camp. Jing Donghua's dormitory was on the second floor, which was said to be the most luxurious. In fact, it's just a few more tiles and incense burners than ordinary wooden houses.
The environment where Prince Jingyuanxiao lives is more simple. A square room, a four-open wooden screen, and the carvings on it are a little flowery. Naturally, the tea in the room is not as good as that in the palace. However, this is the way of governing the army that has been passed down by Xixia ancestors, that is, to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and the most taboo is to avoid being in the military camp. It's very presumptuous.
For good, although the prince has always been mediocre, he is loyal and honest and has no complaints about this environment.
The girl in blue had been busy with Jing Yuanxiao before. The prince was born tall and handsome, but he spoke and did very modestly, and sometimes even seemed a little weak.
"Your Highness, the water in the bathroom has been taken away. The maidservant is useless, and I didn't get the bath water for the Prince." A strong little maid lowered her head and came in to report.
"How did they all take away?" The maid in blue was puzzled, "I sent someone to burn several more pots in advance. How can the prince not bathe all the way?"
"I heard... I heard that it was..." The more the little maid said, the lower her voice became. "I heard that it was taken away by Mr. Du."
Du Wei? The girl in Qingyi thought a little, but she was a little confused about the meaning of this person. Logically, Jing Donghua appreciates the low-key and talented person most. Du Wei's talent and martial arts really made Jing Donghua's eyes shine, but shouldn't he be as simple as possible?
"Forget it, they are all brothers, and they can be washed tomorrow." Jing Yuanxiao didn't care at all. In his words, he actually regarded Du Wei, who was born, as his younger brother, and he looked like a big brother.
"How can this work?" Chen Bi, the great maid beside Jing Yuanxiao, was immediately dissatisfied. She was strong and principled. It was the prince's concubine Bai Shishi who specially arranged it beside Jing Yuanxiao, so that Jing Yuanxiao would not suffer injustice.
"Whoever boils the bath water? If he wants to take a shower, doesn't His Royal Highness use it? Besides, if there is a first-come, first-served, we will decide that it is ours first. Then take a step back. His Royal Highness is noble, and Du Wei is just an illegitimate son who has not yet entered the royal family. How can this be compared.
Chen Bi's language logic is smooth and her attitude is resolute, which impresses this maid in blue.
"What do you think we should do?" Jing Yuanxiao muttered that he had no idea. "Is it possible to go to Brother Du's yard and grab the bath water?"
Chen Bi is also quick-mouthed and said without thinking, "That's how it should be."
"That's all," the maid in Qingyi quickly calmed down both of them. "This matter is also a small matter. If you go to the emperor, you don't know that we will make a fuss for fear that the world will not be chaotic. However, it's really strange that he suddenly took the bath water for three people alone. What if there is any secret? Question mark It's better to explore first.
"Okay," Jing Yuanxiao instantly echoed the opinion of the maid in blue, "Isn't the bodyguard recommended by Shishi with you very good? Just let him go."
The maid in blue squatted down and saluted, and then left. After a few small turns, she found a place for the bodyguard to rest. Either they all went out to stand guard and patrol, or they fell asleep early and waited for the change of posts in the middle of the night. Only one sat straight on the bed and looked out of the window firmly. The man was not good-looking, but this pair of shiny There always seems to be infinite secrets and power hidden in the eyes.
The maid in blue called out the bodyguard and went to the secret place to express the prince's meaning and her doubts.
"Do you think I have too many things to do?" The maid in blue said guiltily, "It's just my intuition that there must be something worth exploring in such an unusual thing."
"Your intuition has always been accurate." The tall bodyguard's eyes showed a sense of love and trust, and even lowered his head slightly and put his chin against the forehead of the maid in blue. In the eyes of others, it was like a pair of cheating servants, but they did not know that under these two human masks, it was Qin Yunuan, who was plotting to kill Jing Donghua, who wanted to stay away from Jing Donghua. And Leng Changxi.
One of them disguised as a bodyguard, and the other disguised as a close maid beside Jing Yuanxiao. All these were arranged by the crown princess Bai Shishi, which was kept very well. Even Jing Yuanxiao himself did not know the real identities of Jing Yuanxiao. The only one who knew the big maid beside Jing Yuanxiao was Chen Bi.
"I'll go right away." Even though Leng Changxi used a simple square face, his eyes were always the only flaw that exposed him, but Fortunately, he had learned to control his eyes to make himself look more mediocre.
"You have to be careful here." Leng Changxi told him again. After saying that, he used light skills to climb over the wall. Jing Yuanxiao's yard was very close to Du Wei's. After a while, he leaned over the beam above Du Wei's dormitory.
