Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 241: The Prince of Northern Qi Enters Kyoto

Since Concubine Shu regained favor, the Fourth Prince's status has also been elevated. Emperor Suwen felt somewhat guilty about banishing Concubine Shu to the cold palace, so rewards flowed into Concubine Shu's bedroom like water.

However, Concubine Rong still maintained her non-confrontational appearance, which made Emperor Suwen feel relaxed and comfortable. In his spare time, he mostly chose to stay in Concubine Rong's bedroom, which annoyed the Empress.

At the same time, while enjoying the royal treatment, Concubine Shu boldly transferred the guards from the cold palace to serve in her own palace, and disguised them as eunuchs. While Emperor Suwen went to Rongfei's place, the two secretly lived a married life.

"Lan'er, how is my kung fu? Is it better than the emperor's?" The young eunuch asked with a smile while massaging Concubine Shu's legs.

"You'd better be careful. If the emperor finds out, it will be a matter of annihilation of your entire clan. If you continue to speak so recklessly in the future, I'm afraid you won't be tolerated here." There was a hint of warning in Concubine Shu's tone.

"Okay. Okay, don't be angry. I know I was wrong. How could you bear to send me away? I still want to see our son being born," the little eunuch said cautiously.

Emperor Su Wen probably never dreamed that there would be green grassland above his head.

During the morning court session, Prime Minister Luo suddenly presented a memorial. After reading it, Emperor Suwen looked gloomy.

"My dear Lord Luo, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi has actually arrived in Dayan. Why did you report it only now?" Emperor Suwen asked with some displeasure.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just learned that the Northern Qi prince said he was coming in disguise, so he did not inform our court in advance.” Prime Minister Luo looked trembling with fear, as if he was afraid that the emperor would blame him.

Emperor Suwen looked at the Second Prince, then at the Fourth Prince and made arrangements, "Second Prince, Fourth Prince, you two brothers will receive the Crown Prince of Northern Qi. Please receive him well and do not lose the hospitality of our dynasty. Otherwise, I will ask you to bear the consequences..."

"We will follow our father's orders," they replied in unison.

Soon the morning court was over, and Prime Minister Luo walked on the street with a look of joy on his face. He made a deal with the Crown Prince of Northern Qi, and soon the Third Prince would be able to return to being a normal person. As the Third Prince's grandfather, how could he not participate in the fight for the throne?

Prime Minister Luo was humming a little tune happily. He didn't even get in the sedan chair and just walked leisurely.

However, at this moment, a flower pot fell from the sky without warning and landed accurately on Luo Shoufu's head.

Poor Prime Minister Luo didn't even have time to react before he fainted on the ground. This sudden change terrified the servants who were serving behind him.

The culprit who caused this "accident" was none other than Yunyang, who was eating and drinking for free at the Sihai Restaurant.

At this moment, he was busy chasing a mysterious man in black in Kyoto. During the chase, he accidentally touched the flower pot. He didn't expect that this small mistake would lead to such serious consequences. Luo Shoufu became an innocent victim.

When Yunyang saw Prime Minister Luo lying on the ground, he immediately stopped chasing the man in black.

Without hesitation, he quickly stepped forward, carried Luo Shoufu on his back, and ran towards the nearby medicine store. Fortunately, after diagnosis, Luo Shoufu only suffered some skin injuries and was not seriously injured.

Not long after, Prime Minister Luo woke up. In a daze, he thought that Yunyang had saved his life and his heart was filled with gratitude.

To express his gratitude, he even invited Yun Yang to go to Bazhenlou to enjoy the food. If he knew that the real instigator was Yun Yang, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

While accompanying him to eat and drink, Prime Minister Luo asked about Yunyang's identity from the side. After all, although Yunyang was eating heartily, his temperament was very noble, not like that of an ordinary rich young man.

Yunyang's appearance is more resolute, not as gentle as the people of Dayan, which makes Prime Minister Luo more certain that Yunyang's identity is not simple.

Yunyang was not a fool. He just laughed it off and did not reveal his identity at all. He just ate and drank.

Prime Minister Luo was afraid of causing Yunyang's resentment, so he gave up.

After the meal, Yun Yang walked away in a swagger, muttering to himself as he walked: "You bastard, you still want to find out my identity, do you really think I'm an idiot? I haven't been back to the palace for a long time, I'm going back today to see my sister."

"Your Highness, someone was chasing me just now. He seemed to be the Seventh Prince, but also seemed not to be. He was dressed in Dayan clothes and spoke Dayan dialect, but he looked exactly like the Seventh Prince." The man in black landed outside a room in an inn and said softly.

"Did you see clearly? The Seventh Prince has been missing for more than a year. Could it be that he escaped during the ambush? You keep an eye on him and report any news at any time. Don't reveal your identity. I will go to the palace tomorrow. You should be careful when you are outside." The person who spoke was the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.

At this time, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in great pain.

Sitting beside the bed was an old man with a gloomy aura, concentrating on giving acupuncture on the back of the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.

The old man was skilled and quick in his movements, and each needle was inserted into the acupuncture point accurately. As time went by, the prince's complexion gradually improved, and his breathing became stable.

"Your Highness, you will be fine after the acupuncture today. However, you must remember not to get close to women during this period. You cannot touch a woman within these three months, otherwise it will only aggravate your injuries." The old man instructed with a serious face.

The prince of Northern Qi nodded slightly to show that he understood. He knew that if he did not follow the doctor's advice, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Godfather, the seventh brother is still alive! If he returns to Northern Qi, I'm afraid what we have done will be exposed. He is my father's most beloved son!" The tone of the Northern Qi prince was full of worry and fear.

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as we are well prepared, we don't have to worry about him coming back. Moreover, even if he comes back, he may not cause any trouble."

The Northern Qi crown prince nodded, but his uneasiness did not diminish. He knew that once the seventh prince returned, he would pose a threat to him. He had to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger to ensure the stability of his position.

The Crown Prince of Northern Qi thought that he had sneaked into the capital without anyone knowing, but in fact, the Wangsheng Tower had already noticed it and the news had already been given to Yan Wuque.

Yan Wuque was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he only sent people from the Wangsheng Tower to watch from a distance, wanting to know who the Crown Prince of Northern Qi was collaborating with in Kyoto.

After all, it is impossible for the Crown Prince of Northern Qi to come to Dayan so secretly. According to regulations, he must submit a letter of credence in advance.
