Chapter 978: Escaped

looked at Qin Yingyuan steadily, and suddenly smiled.

"What is the county lord doing? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in good health, how can he die soon? The county lord can stop talking nonsense, so as not to be heard by those who have a heart. ”

Wu calmly continued to collect the chess pieces, unmoved by Qin Yingyuan's words at all.

In fact, his heart has already turned over the river and the sea, but he can't let Qin Yingyuan see it yet.

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, the third uncle has his own decision in his heart. As I said earlier, who could have predicted the end until the last step? In the past, when I played against you, you always won easily, but this time I won against you, just as easily. ”

Qin Yingyuan helped clean up the white child, and snorted coldly in her heart. The third uncle was unmoved, as if he didn't believe her words at all, but she had already seen that the other party's heart must not be at peace.

She's not a child, and she won't be untargeted. Especially if it's like this, how can it be gibberish?

Didn't the third uncle use this to hide his own shock? Unexpectedly, the third uncle is now also very deep in the city.

Wu raised his hand to signal, and the two of them had another game, but Qin Yingyuan did not refuse.

"Why should the county lord disturb the poor monk's mind again? The poor monk is already red, accustomed to preaching and chanting the Dharma every day, and does not want to go back to the past. The court palace is deceitful, calculating every day, and the poor monks have long been no longer yearning for it. ”

Wu shook his head and whispered to Qin Yingyuan.

Qin Yingyuan glanced at the other party's fall, this time the other party walked very smoothly, the fall was not chaotic at all, and the layout was calm.

Even compared to the previous sharp moves, this layout, the other party has also lost its edge. There was no killing on the chessboard, there was just peace.

Qin Yingyuan raised her head to look at Wu, and when she saw the smile on the other party's face, she couldn't help frowning.

"Isn't the third uncle not impressed at all? Don't you wonder why the prince's uncle died so soon? What about Brother Hong? He thinks of his father every day, and he is really pitiful. ”

Qin Yingyuan is unwilling, can Buddhism really make people give up the obsession in their hearts, but the troubles of Hongchen?

"Life and death have fate, and people will eventually die, it's just the difference between morning and night. Now that the poor monk has become a monk, the previous disturbances have nothing to do with the poor monk. ”

He didn't ask the prince why he was dying soon, and he didn't mention his young son, as if he was really devoted to the Buddha and no longer cared about ordinary things.

The county lord carefully observed the other party's expression, and couldn't help but be depressed in his heart. Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, she picked up the white child and landed on the chessboard at will.

"County Lord, you've lost!" Satoru smiled, pointed at the county lord's white son, and shook his head helplessly.

Qin Yingyuan looked at the chessboard and saw that her white son was pressed by the sunspot, and there was no way to avoid it.

The whole chess game was hidden by the assassination, and she should have walked tremblingly, walking on thin ice. But I don't want her to be absent-minded and casual, and she can still hold on to it until now.

She suddenly laughed, and then said: "The third uncle's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and Rong Jia is now beyond his reach. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

......

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!"

De'an handed the medicine bottle to the emperor, watched the emperor pour down a pill, and hurriedly handed over the tea.

Xiao Quanzi lowered his eyebrows and entered the Chengqian Palace and reported to the tired emperor.

The emperor's spirit has been better recently, and he nodded, "Announce him in!" ”

The prince hurriedly entered the Chengqian Palace, his face was gloomy, and his face was still a little eager.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Flat! Why are you in such a hurry? Entered the palace early in the morning. The emperor looked lazy and leaned back to the pillow behind him.

He looked at the prince's eyes as if there were some inexplicable emotions, but the prince didn't pay attention at all at the moment.

"Father! Erchen got the news, and the chief of the Tianji Dao was nowhere to be found. The crown prince glanced up at the emperor, and then lowered his head again.

Although telling his father about this matter will make his father dissatisfied with him. After all, he sent someone to secretly spy on Daoist Tianji, and he questioned his father's decision-making.

But now he can't manage so much, the previous agreement was five days, but now three days have passed.

This deadline was carefully considered by him before, from here to the master of the Tianji Daoist, it would only take five days for the flying pigeon to pass the book, even if they were delayed on the road, it would not be more than five days.

He was in a hurry, and he had already sent another person to follow the code left by the previous secret guard to find it. It's just that three days have passed now, and the people who sent out early this morning have returned in vain.

Halfway through, they lost the code, and after a day of wandering around the place where the code had disappeared, they still found nothing, so they had to return the way they came.

The emperor sat up from the couch, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, "How did you know that Daoist Tianji was missing?" Do you send someone to follow them? ”

The emperor was a little dissatisfied with the prince's move, but this was not the time to care about this.

At present, the most important thing is whether Daoist Tianji has returned to the master's door? Or is it really as the prince said, the other party escaped?

But he had obviously received a letter from the guards before, and the seal on it would not be wrong. He said that everything was going well, and he would be able to return to the division in less than three days.

Erchen was not very worried about the Tianji Daoist going out this time, so he sent two secret guards to follow, just in case. It was agreed that the news would be sent back once on the fifth day, but now that the eighth day has passed, there is still no news from there. And the retainers then sent people to investigate, and they came back to report that they had lost the trace of the Taoist chief, and even the secret guards sent to track them before were nowhere to be found. ”

The secret guard was afraid that he was already very lucky, and the prince was very worried about this matter. If Daoist Tianji had really fled, then there was definitely something wrong with the pill he gave to his father.

Even the imperial physicians and the holy hands of the people have nothing to do about this poison, believing that it is not poison, which shows the rarity of this poison.

Daoist Tianji was in such a hurry to escape, could it be that the toxins in his father's body were almost unable to suppress it?

Thinking of this, the crown prince's eyes were full of worry when he looked at his father.

The emperor's expression changed, and he seemed to think of something, "De'an! Quick, send someone to find the code to investigate. ”

What the prince can think of, the emperor can think of as well. At this moment, he was even more panicked than the crown prince, perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that his body was very cold at the moment.

Dean was also frightened, he hurriedly received the order, and immediately went out to give orders.

The emperor suddenly felt a little itchy in his throat, as if a foreign object had blocked his throat.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood gushed out, and the emperor grabbed the green tendon of his right hand on the couch and exposed, and then he closed his eyes and collapsed.

The eyes of the crown prince and Dean widened, and then the screams of Dean and the prince rang out in the hall.

"Father!" "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Quanzi and the guards guarding outside the hall hurriedly rushed in, and Xiao Quanzi saw that the emperor was lying on the kang with his eyes closed, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

And there was still a dark red blood stain on the dragon and phoenix brocade quilt on the couch, and he was immediately shocked.
