After I was reborn, I was scumbag

Chapter 37

Murong Xing narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and chuckled lightly: "The Lingnan Army is far away from Chang'an, and there are many local Miao people among its generals. Compared with armies in other regions, it is indeed much easier to control, Your Excellency is easy to plan."

Yuan Qiong smiled slightly: "Since Emperor Daliang usurped the throne, he has oppressed the aliens very heavily. I can control the Lingnan Army, and Emperor Daliang has contributed a lot."

"I don't know if my son feels that my sincerity in inviting him to help me restore the country is enough?"

"If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't live until the day when Qiu Hou will be cut." Murong Xing coughed a few times, feeling the fishy and sweet taste in his throat getting stronger, and raised his hand to gently wipe the corners of his lips. A trace of blood spilled.

The people in Dali Temple didn't know what slow poison was added to the torture equipment.

On the surface, it was the government office controlled by the Fourth Prince Shao Ting, but in reality it was Yang Ling who was in power.

Since Yang Ling dared to poison him, he naturally obeyed Yuan Qiong's order.

As if he didn't expect Murong Xing to be so sensitive, Yuan Qiong raised his eyebrows, and didn't bother to make up a lie, and said bluntly: "I did poison someone in the torture device. However, this kind of poison only needs to be treated with antidote." In a year, it will be completely resolved."

"After all, I have already told the prince almost all the secrets. If the prince pretends to take refuge in me, I have to guard against it, don't I?"

Murong Xing didn't comment, his voice was slightly cold: "Your Excellency also admits that the torture in Dali Temple was arranged by Your Excellency."

"My son's words have wronged me. The fourth prince goes to inspect the dungeons of Dali Temple almost every day. If it weren't for his approval, how could I have such a supernatural ability to abuse my punishment to my son?"

"It's just a small trick, adding some poison to the torture device."

"As long as the son agrees to assist me and control the Daliang army for me, the poison will cure itself after one year."

"I will also remember the merits of the son. Not only will Marquis Pingxi help the Liang emperor to usurp the throne, but I will grant the son a prince with a different surname and give him a rich land. What does the son think?"

Murong Xing's expressionless face suddenly fluctuated when he heard "Wang Jue with a different surname".

"... Are you serious?"

Yuan Qiong naturally didn't miss the resentment and ambition burning in Murong Xing's eyes, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he nodded.

"If a gentleman says something, there is no reason to go back on it. The so-called doubting people is not necessary, and employing people is not suspicious. I am definitely not suspicious like Emperor Liang, which chills the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals."

"As long as the son agrees to help me, I guarantee that the son will live a prosperous life, and he will be a minister of our dynasty."

"It's just that there is still an obstacle that has to be removed."

Murong Xing's Adam's apple moved slightly: "Oh?"

"Prince Shao Guan has recently pulled out many chess pieces that I planted in the East Palace. I don't know if he has noticed."

"This person has to rely on the son to get rid of him."

……

A deep darkness enveloped the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The young man with straightened spine and kneeling in the center of the hall had black hair almost hanging to the ground, his slender neck was slightly stretched, but his lips had lost their color due to the cold air, turning a little pale.

Shao Guan exhaled slowly, the heat in his body seemed to have been absorbed by the gold bricks underneath, his whole body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment, icy cold.

There were footsteps of palace people passing by outside the hall, it was just because Emperor Liang was furious, none of the palace people who usually rushed to curry favor with Shaoguan dared to offend Emperor's anger and stepped forward at this moment.

The vision of the young man, who hadn't eaten anything for most of the day, was a little blurred, and he could only vaguely see a faint dark gold reflected on the ground by the dim moonlight.

"His Royal Highness, Your Highness!"

Dong Jiu's urgent low cry came from far away, he didn't know where he got the news, ignored the strange expressions of the palace people outside the palace, trotted behind Shao Guan, and knelt down.

"Your Highness, what are you doing! The Empress heard that you contradicted His Majesty, and she was so anxious that she had a headache again. The imperial physician rushed over, but it didn't get better at all."

"Just admit your mistake to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always cared about His Highness, and you will definitely avoid the crime of contradicting Your Highness."

Shao closed his eyes and waited for a few moments before he realized Dong Jiu's words. He slightly supported the ground with his fingertips, kept his body from falling, and said in a low voice: "You go to visit my mother for me, and say that my son is unworthy. , let the mother worry."

"Your Highness! Why are you doing this? Although Murong Shizi is His Highness's attendant in name, he has never assisted His Highness. Collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a small crime, how can Your Highness be involved in it?"

"You don't understand...Gu owes his life to Murong Shizi. Not to mention you and I know that he was framed by the Wei people, even if he is really treasonous, Gu will try his best to save his life."

Shao Guan twitched the corners of his lips, the coolness in his peach blossom eyes was a bit miserable.

The so-called exhaustion is the only way to send someone to investigate the perjury witnesses Shao Ting found.The most he could do was just kneel here, hoping that his father would change his mind.

Seeing that Shao Guan refused to let go, Dong Jiu was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Your Highness is talking nonsense again. When did Your Highness owe Prince Murong? If you want to say a debt, it is also the prince who owes you."

"The Empress wholeheartedly hopes that His Highness will admit his mistake to His Majesty sooner and go to Kunning Palace to serve the sick, Your Highness!"

"My mother's illness has been a long-standing illness for many years. You asked the imperial doctor to take care of her, and went to the inner storehouse of the East Palace to get the best medicinal materials and sent them. Gu...I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Kunning Palace these few days, and I won't be able to pay my mother's peace. .”

Dong Jiu heard that the young man's voice was trembling, and tentatively reached out to touch it, only to feel that Shao Guan's body was as cold as pig iron, trembling constantly.

"Your Highness, how can you hold on like this..."

As Dongjiu said, she wanted to go to the East Palace to bring the fox fur.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the young man's wrist on the ground softened, and his body fell sideways like this, hitting the cold and hard ground with a muffled sound.

Dong Jiu hurriedly went to explore Shao Guan's neck, only to find that the boy's cheeks and forehead were scorching hot, and he had already developed a high fever due to the wind and cold and running all the way.

"His Royal Highness contracted a cold and fell ill, hurry up and ask the imperial physician!"

The palace people outside the palace were shocked, but Emperor Liang had just issued an order not to allow them to meddle in the prince's affairs.For a moment, everyone hesitated in place, not daring to move.

Dong Jiu was anxious and angry, her face flushed, she was about to scold, but she suppressed her anger considering Shao Guan's illness, and helped the unconscious young man from the ground.

"Eunuch Dong Jiu, it's really not that we are neglecting His Highness the Crown Prince, it's just that His Majesty ordered the Crown Prince to kneel here all the time. The slaves really dare not disobey the holy order."

"If father-in-law is worried about His Highness' condition, why not go to Kunning Palace to ask His Majesty for instructions. If Your Majesty agrees, I will immediately go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician to treat Your Highness!"
