Chapter 715 Forced Marriage (Part 2)
"The prince doesn't need to be too polite, we are all family. I don't know what the prince is doing when he visits the palace at night," Dong Jun felt unhappy when he saw Duguxiu's appearance, but it was not easy to attack.
"Oh, the queen mother and Dongjun confirmed that the princess is only ill and cannot see the humble minister,"
"You! Duguxiu, don't bully people too much," the maid who pretended to be Donghuang Ling'er was pulled out.
Both the queen mother and Dongjun's expressions changed drastically.
They did not expect that Duguxiu, the crown prince of the later Qin Dynasty, would completely disregard his face and only see troubles in the Eastern Capital Palace.
"Prince, please appease your anger, Prince," Empress Dowager Situ said anxiously. Dongjun rushed forward regardless of everything.
But his thin body is nothing in front of Duguxiu. "Weichen heard that the princess was infected with a strange disease, and it didn't heal for many months. I was very worried, so I specially brought a doctor and some valuable medicinal materials, hoping to help the princess to see a doctor."
After Duguxiu finished speaking, a doctor walked out behind him. This person was Cheng Daguo, the national champion of the Later Qin Dynasty.
Behind Cheng Daguo's hand, there are many attendants, all holding boxes of precious herbs in their hands.
With that posture, it seems that he is indeed here to visit the sick.
After the Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun heard this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
The maid who pretended to be a "princess" was not sick at all. If Cheng Daguo diagnosed her, she would be exposed.
Dongjun was young and couldn't stand Duguxiu's overbearing aura, so he was a little awkward to speak: "Prince Dugu is really too polite. The imperial sister's illness is not serious, there is no need to ask Cheng Daguo to come forward."
"Oh, since there's nothing serious about it, why don't we let the minister meet. Xio has long admired the princess, so it's time to meet." Dugu Xiu saw Dongjun's timid appearance in his eyes, and felt even more worried. I am convinced of what the left prime minister of the eastern capital said earlier.
Princess Dongdu is indeed not in the capital.
"His Royal Highness!" Empress Dowager Situ also broke into a cold sweat. As a queen mother, she has experienced the ups and downs of the Eastern Dynasty, and compared to Dong Jun, she is much calmer. When she is in a hurry, she has quick wisdom.
"The crown prince is so kind, and invited the master of the late Qin Dynasty to visit him from afar, so please invite the crown prince to come to the palace to see a doctor for my son."
After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Situ secretly winked at a female officer beside her, who understood and sneaked out quietly.
A group of people immediately went to Donghuang Ling'er's bedroom.
Inside the palace, the pink curtain was hanging down, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen sitting under the curtain.
"Thank you, Prince Dugu, for coming from afar. Ling'er is not feeling well, so I'm sorry that I can't receive you in person." A female voice came from inside, with polite words, and it sounded a bit touching.
"Princess, you are polite, you and I don't need to be so polite. Cheng Daguo, go up to see a doctor for the princess," Duguxiu saw the pink in the palace, and was already disgusted in his heart.
Cheng Daguo stepped forward to check on the "princess".
"Princess" hesitated for a while, and stretched out a hand from the curtain.
That hand was thin and slender, and the skin was too white. It looked like the hand of a frail and sick person.
Unexpectedly, the "princess" had just stretched out her hand, and Duguxiu, who was just standing aside, took a step forward, grabbed the hand suddenly, and pulled it hard.
A girl dressed as a "princess" was pulled out by the company and fell heavily to the ground.
The girl's expression changed drastically in fright.
"Prince Dugu! What are you doing?" Neither the Empress Dowager Situ nor Dong Jun expected that Prince Dugu would suddenly attack.
"A counterfeit wants to deceive the prince, Tianhou, Dongjun, you can see clearly, the princess looks like this?" Duguxiu's face was clouded, and he grabbed the "princess" by the chin .
Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun knew that Duguxiu must have seen through the fake princess.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in the bottom of their hearts. Empress Dowager Situ squeezed out a smile: "Prince, I really like to joke. She is naturally the daughter of this palace."
"Oh?" Duguxiu's subordinates used some strength, the fake princess felt that her jaw was about to be crushed, and she stared in horror.
"Let me ask you, are you the Eastern Emperor Linger? If there is even a little bit of lies, don't blame the prince for being rude." Duguxiu was like a rebellious wolf king at this time, his tall figure, like a dark cloud, pressed against him. In the hearts of everyone present.
Even though it was inside the Eastern Capital Palace, none of the imperial guards dared to make a move.
The despair in the hearts of Dongjun and Queen Mother Situ spread little by little, and the mother and son couldn't help leaning against each other.
The fake princess was so frightened that she was speechless, and there was only fear on her pretty face.
"Prince, please forgive me, this servant is just a maid,"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of his jaw being crushed.
Empress Dowager Situ let out a miserable cry.
Seeing that the fake princess had already passed away, Duguxiu threw his body out and smashed it onto the palace wall, blood spattering the wall.
During the whole process, Duguxiu didn't frown. Killing a humble maid was as simple as trampling an ant to him.
Between his thin and cool lips, he uttered a sentence that made both the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Jun tremble: "Such a disloyal servant, Hugh will help the Queen Mother and Dong Jun deal with it."
Dongjun was still young after all, seeing Duguxiu committing murder in the East Palace, his shoulders trembled with anger.
Regardless of the difference in height between himself and Duguxiu, he rushed up, grabbed Duguxiu by the collar, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Duguxiu, you are too presumptuous, how dare you commit murder in the East Palace?" !"
"Dongjun, pay attention to your words, Xiu just killed an assassin pretending to be a princess. The most important thing right now is to find out the whereabouts of the princess, ensure that the princess is safe and sound, and marry Hou Qin as soon as possible. In this way, the queen Both Qin and Dong can tie Qin and Jin together," Duguxiu looked at the thin and pale emperor with contempt.
Dongjun is about the same age as him.
But this young man, who was overprotected by the royal family of the Eastern Capital, was as weak as a girl.
With fair skin and pale lips, he looked like a sickly girl.
Dongjun's head only reached his shoulders, and the hand holding his collar was still shaking.
Duguxiu swept Dong Jun's hand away.
The biting grudge made Dong Jun stagger and sit on the ground.
"Come on! Come on! Get this traitor out!"
Dong Jun's shouts lingered in the lonely East Palace.
Those imperial guards and court ladies and eunuchs all lowered their heads like ostriches, none of them dared to step forward to protect the lord.
Empress Dowager Situ and Dong Jun felt unprecedentedly lonely. This gorgeous palace was like a lifeless tomb at this moment, which would kill their mother and son at any moment.
