Chapter 333 The Emperor's Palm and Back
Seeing Qin Huai was so surprised that he was dumbfounded,
The prince and Fang Qingge couldn't help but smirk.
"I'll let Ah Fu explain it to you later."
"Ah? Yes, I obey your command."
Qin Huai bowed and suppressed his surprise.
He took the water bag handed to him by Eunuch Fu and gulped the warm water into his stomach.
Qin Huai felt like he was alive again.
He did not follow Eunuch Fu to eat first, but bowed and saluted.
I was thinking about reporting the situation at home to the prince as soon as possible.
When he looked up and saw Fang Qingge, he paused again.
"No problem! You don't have to avoid Fang Liangdi if you have any problems in the future."
"Here."
Qin Huai bowed and reported to the prince in a low voice.
*
Fang Qingge originally wanted to avoid him, but after hearing what the prince said, she just sat in the carriage and did not go out.
Then I heard Qin Huai's report to the prince in a low voice.
"Your Highness, King Rui has made some unusual moves. During the time you were away, he secretly assembled a team of about 10,000 people. They hid in the deep mountains and dense forests outside the capital."
"Oh? Is he that impatient?"
"Your Highness?"
"Qin Huai, I know that he is worried that after I die, you will not accept his appointment as the crown prince.
So he put his private soldiers out in the open, thinking of fighting to the death and catching all of Gu's men in one fell swoop? !
Remember, keep a close watch and don't alert him. I'm looking forward to seeing his reaction when I return to Beijing!"
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Highness, King Rui thought he had won this time. If he knew that you returned safely, he would be furious!"
The prince did not comment, but smiled softly. He waved his hand at him.
"You've worked hard. Go take a rest in Ah Fu's carriage!"
"Well, I'm not tired. Seeing that you, the prince, have recovered, I feel like I've taken a magic medicine and I'm not tired at all."
Qin Huai bowed and followed Eunuch Fu to the carriage behind.

After watching the person leave, Fang Qingge asked in confusion,
"Brother An, Prince Rui has his own army, could it be that the Emperor doesn't know about this and he won't care?"
The prince closed the carriage door, took her hand and rubbed it, and asked,
“Is it cold with the car door open?
Fang Qingge shook his head and waited for the prince's answer.
"Father is not that stupid. He has been watching from the sidelines, like a hunter watching a fire from the other side of the river."
"Then the emperor is not afraid that if the power of the Rui King grows stronger, he will force the throne. What should we do?"
"Don't worry about that. When Daliang was first founded, our ancestors set an iron rule that anyone who usurps the throne must be killed. Therefore, the one being fought for is the position of crown prince."
"Oh! You mean the emperor just watched his sons fighting in private and didn't do anything about it. To him, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.
After all, this is an era where the strong are kings."
The prince laughed approvingly upon hearing this.
"That's right. But my father still pays attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children for the sake of his reputation. Otherwise, the position of crown prince would not have fallen to me.
I am only one year older than Prince Rui, and at that time Concubine Xiao was the most popular. No one dared to compete with her. "
Fang Qingge understood. He sighed.
"Hey! No wonder they say there is no family affection in the royal family. Brother An, do you also have a private army?"
"Qingge, you must be on guard against others. The law of the jungle is not limited to the royal family. The noble families are not immune to the flashing of swords and sabers. So, I can't just sit there and wait for death."
"I see. No wonder your road ahead is filled with dangers."
Fang Qingge said this and held the prince's hand.
"Don't worry, husband. I will always stand behind you and support you."
"Okay! I will rely on Qingge to protect me from now on!
Well, I still want to hear Qingge talk more about cold weapons and hot weapons to broaden my horizons?"
Fang Qingge didn't think the prince was joking, but nodded solemnly.
*
Eunuch Fu was concerned about the prince's health and was determined not to travel at night.
So when they were on their way back to the capital, various spies in the capital had already passed the news back.
Many people in the capital city learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was safe and sound.
Of course, they also met Fang Qingge, who survived a cliff fall.
People from all walks of life in the capital were busy with their thoughts.
**
In the capital city.
Orchid Garden of the Rui Palace
When Yin Ruyi learned that day that Fang Qingge's carriage had been startled and fell off a cliff, she asked the eunuch who reported the news several times in disbelief.
After the eunuch left,
She slammed the door of the main room shut, and the two maids at the door were startled. They looked at each other, and were shocked to hear the sad news of Fang Qingge's death, and their minds were filled with thoughts.
Yin Ruyi in the main room secretly took out the scarecrow with Fang Qingge's birth date and time written on it and looked at it again and again.
Then she started laughing "hahahaha". The louder she laughed, the louder it became, and in the end she started crying hysterically.
After a long while, she pulled out a needle from the scarecrow's stomach, then stabbed it hard again, her voice trembling and her face showing madness.
"Fang Qingge, oh Fang Qingge, you are finally dead. You are finally dead! God has been very kind to me!
Hahahaha…, God has opened his eyes and treated me, Yin Ruyi, kindly. You, the evildoer, have finally been eliminated!"
Yin Ruyi's crazy voice was heard outside the house, and the two maids were so frightened that they dared not utter a word.
*
Yin Ruyi knelt on the ground devoutly, clasped his hands together and muttered something.
"Oh my God, Fang Qingge is dead. She is finally dead. Prince Rui belongs to me, Yin Ruyi. Prince Rui can only belong to me, Yin Ruyi."
Yin Ruyi's face was ferocious and his eyes were murderous.
"God, please give King Rui's heart back to me! I beg you, I kowtow to you.
Really, this is my last request!"
Then “Hahaha…hahaha”
Bursts of wild laughter could be heard from the room, and the two maids Linghua and Binghua outside the room began to jump with fear.
"Linghua, go find out where the prince is?"
"This? Concubine Yin, I dare not inquire about the prince's whereabouts."
"You are so stupid! Take the silver."
Concubine Yin cursed angrily.
quickly,
Linghua sent a message.
"Concubine Yin, the prince has gone to the cliff to look for Fang Liangdi."
"what?"
"Concubine Yin, I heard that the prince is in a bad mood. You must not go and bring bad luck upon him."
Binghua tried to persuade him kindly.
In the next few days, Concubine Yin really changed her temperament and became much more obedient.
*
this day,
Prince Rui strode into the yard with a gloomy face, followed by Eunuch Dong.
The two maids, Linghua and Binghua, who had regained consciousness, hurried forward to pay their respects, but before they could open their mouths,
King Rui gave them a sharp look, and the two of them were so scared that they fell to their knees on the ground and trembled.
Ever since they were beaten with a stick and almost died, the two of them were like mice seeing a cat when they saw King Rui.
"Hurry up and boil some water."
Eunuch Dong gave orders in a low voice.
The two of them hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.
Just as Prince Rui was about to push open the door of the main house, he heard Concubine Yin's laughter and cursing inside, and he stopped immediately.
