Chapter 150 Confusing the Pool
Huo Mingliang looked at the knife that was slashing at him, his face pale. It was the first time he realized that death was so close to him. He instinctively turned his head. Although he avoided being split open, his head was chopped off directly. The entire right arm.
"Ah!!!" The screams echoed throughout the cell, attracting more soldiers. When Huo Mingming fainted from the pain, he only heard the "pinging, banging, banging" sound of swords hitting each other, and a cold voice. :
"The Queen has an order, he must live!"
"But he has lost too much blood now, I'm afraid."
"This is the ginseng sent by the Queen."
"Okay, with this ginseng, I will definitely save him."
Huo Mingliang felt that his body was floating again, as if he would leave his body in the next second.
He saw a middle-aged female imperial doctor cut off a piece of ginseng and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the fifth prince. In the next breath, his soul was pulled back into his body as if by gravity, and then a burst of pain hit him. , his consciousness was blurred again.
"Although the pulse is still fluctuating, it has stabilized. His life should be safe. The rest is about to be nourished. There is too much blood. If it is not taken care of well, I may not live to be thirty years old."
The imperial doctor directly took up the pen and began to write the prescription.
The soldiers responsible for guarding Huo Mingliang had been taken away for interrogation because of poor performance. Now the people surrounding the cell were all newly sent by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was also a little annoyed. She had given her countless instructions, but she still made such a mistake. Fortunately, she had kept secret guards, otherwise Fengqi Kingdom's dispatch of troops to Panlong Kingdom this time would have become unreasonable.
"Did you find anything from the dead man who committed suicide by taking poison?"
The eldest princess asked with a frown.
"No, they saw that the situation was not good and did not want to be captured. They just bit the poison sac hidden in their teeth and committed suicide. The clothes on their bodies did not have any special marks. They had nothing on them except swords."
The female guard replied in a deep voice.
"You arrange for someone to move the fifth prince to a different place and raise the security level. I don't want the same thing to happen again."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
"Come back! Let's check again and see how those dead soldiers lurked into the dungeon. I won't believe it if there's no insider."
"Yes, my subordinate will go check it out right now."
On the other hand, the second princess of Zhuo Xiuyuan also received the news. When she learned that the fifth prince was not dead, her eyes dimmed and she waved her hand to let him go.
The second princess held the tea cup in her hand and stayed in her yard for a while, then went to look for her father.
Feng Shou, who was beside Lianyi, came to see the Queen immediately and whispered:
"The group of assassins who assassinated the fifth prince of the Panlong Kingdom approached the dungeon through the people of the second princess. Recently, in the middle of the night, the second princess's mansion transported three large boxes into the mansion. According to the secret guard beside her, all of them were It’s gold and silver.”
"You really don't have a long memory. You are so unscrupulous just because you are my daughter."
Ripple sneered.
"Except for the secret guards who have surrendered to her, withdraw everyone else and ask them to withdraw from the Queen's secret guards. You arrange a place for them to leave the capital completely."
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration. I would like to thank you for your grace on their behalf!"
Feng Shou knelt down on one knee, bowed, and quietly exited the room where Lianyi was.
The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom is still waiting for a reply from the people he sent to assassinate his fifth brother. As long as the fifth prince dies, his situation will not be so passive.
Unfortunately, he did not wait for the news of the successful assassination, but his throat was cut by his beloved concubine who was pregnant with Liujia. When he fell, his beloved concubine yelled crazily with eyes filled with anger:
"Minglong (the name of the fifth prince), I have avenged you! You will not be alone on the road to hell. I will drag your third brother to accompany you! Hahaha. Woo!"
The pregnant concubine was pierced through the heart by the secret guard of the Panlong Kingdom. When she fell to the ground, she was still holding the personal dragon pendant of the fifth prince in her hand. This was once a symbol of his status, and now it is also evidence of his regicide.
The new Emperor Panlong was killed like this by his favorite concubine in the harem. The Panlong Kingdom was immediately in chaos, and the fourth and sixth princes also jumped out. After all, they were the two most qualified to inherit the throne. .
Zhang Zhang was still at home listening to his concubine singing a ditty. After receiving the news that the new emperor had been assassinated, his expression changed and he immediately rushed to the palace and ordered the entire palace to be dressed in linen. The death of the new emperor was a national mourning.
When the news reached the border of Fengqi Kingdom, General Fengming had sorted out Fengxi City and was waiting for the next order. When she learned that the new Emperor Panlong was dead, she laughed out loud.
This person was killed by his favorite concubine, and the pregnant concubine was the fifth prince's admirer. She thought that the fifth prince would definitely die this time, so she directly dragged her family and her family along to accompany the fifth prince.
The irony is that the fifth prince is living well in their Panlong Kingdom, even though he is missing an arm.
"Such good news, naturally I have to share it with everyone, send a message to the other three cities, and keep an eye on the movement on the other side. If there are no accidents, they should stop attacking the city."
"Yes, my subordinates will go and deliver the order right away."
The fact was just as Feng Ming guessed. As soon as the other side's generals received the news, they retreated back to the city in Panlong Kingdom's territory. They also had to stand in line and support the new emperor's ascension. This was a great achievement that would not be enjoyed for at least three generations. All the glory and wealth.
They are military generals with troops in their hands. They are the targets of the two princes who are in power. Naturally, they have to think carefully about it.
The border between Panlong Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom suddenly became quiet. At the same time, the new recruits in the new barracks had gone through half a year of training and were directly pulled to the border to replenish the forces consumed in the battle with Panlong Kingdom.
The third princess was dumbfounded. She did not expect that one day she would be on the battlefield.
It's a pity that she didn't even see her nominal father, so she followed the large army and left the recruit camp overnight.
Along with the arrival of the new military camp, there was also a new order. This time, four cities were captured one after another. Those who had meritorious service would be rewarded. In addition to gold, silver, and land, there would also be promotions in their positions. This would completely make the Zhao family's army the dominant one on the border. The situation was broken.
Because the promotion of the generals this time was all based on actual military exploits, the Zhao family did not dare to be greedy for merit, and they also knew very well that the eldest princess must be taking the opportunity to deploy her own people. They were using conspiracy, so they could only tolerate it for the time being. The game between the two sides is almost on the table.
The Panlong Kingdom fought for half a year. In the end, the sixth prince made a superior move and killed the fourth prince to end the fight. With the support of Zhang Zhang, he ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Panlong Kingdom.
The congratulatory letter from Fengqi Kingdom and the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who attended the succession ceremony arrived at Panlong Kingdom together.
While presenting the certificate of credence, the female official of the Ministry of Rites said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"Congratulations to the new Emperor Panlong for succeeding to the throne. The Queen is very happy that you are taking the throne. I believe that the little misunderstanding before will not happen again. I wonder when the new Emperor will take back your fifth brother?"
"Is he still alive?"
"nature!"
