After General Lin received the news from Xiao Chenyan, he immediately brought people to support them, but he did not bring many people.
Because the Seventh Prince was still unconscious, Xiao Chenyan took Qing Wu and went ahead with General Lin to the Prince's Mansion.
General Lin didn't say anything about Xiao Chenyan's move to bring Qing Wu with him. Facing Qing Wu, he just nodded with a cold expression, and the vigilance in his eyes was not concealed.
Soon, the group entered the city and quietly entered the Nanling Palace through the back door.
General Lin led Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu to the Seventh Prince's bedroom and said on the way: "No one in the palace knows about your arrival in Nanling. According to your wishes, the entire palace and the county town are blocked and no one can leave."
General Lin paused and said with a heavy face: "The prince's coma this time is strange. The doctor examined him carefully and could not find any illness or signs of poisoning."
After Xiao Chenyan sent the falcon to deliver the message, General Lin immediately made arrangements.
It is indeed not accidental that the Seventh Prince got into trouble at this critical juncture, and we can't find any trace of human intervention. If it was human intervention, this person must be someone close to the Seventh Prince.
Xiao Chenyan's early arrival caught the other party off guard.
Just as they were about to reach the yard, General Lin stopped and glanced at Qing Wu who was walking slowly behind him.
Xiao Chenyan understood what he meant and said, "Princess, you can give me your life."
General Lin's expression changed drastically. He wanted to say something, but Qing Wu came over.
Qing Wu: "The west side of the mansion is where the women live?"
General Lin didn't know what she meant, but he still said, "That's the princess's yard."
"Seal it up." Qing Wu said, looking at a group of ants crawling by her feet, "It's best to knock them out right away."
General Lin looked puzzled. Qing Wu's implication was that the Seventh Prince's accident was related to the Seventh Prince's Consort.
The old general seemed unconvinced.
The Seventh Princess and the Seventh Prince were a couple who had been through thick and thin together. The eunuchs in the mansion also knew the Seventh Princess's character. Although she came from the common people, she was a woman who knew the big picture and cared about the people.
What's more, the Seventh Princess is an orphan with no one to rely on. Not to mention that she doesn't have the ability, she has no reason to harm her husband!
"Mr. Lin." Xiao Chenyan spoke, and his meaning was obvious: he trusted Qing Wu.
General Lin was speechless. He frowned and looked unhappy. “I trust the Seventh Princess. It is impossible for me to offend her. The palace has issued a ban. No one can go out.”
"Just because people can't go out doesn't mean other things are impossible." Qing Wu said, shaking her head.
This stubborn old man's temper is still the same as before.
"Forget it, let's go see your seventh uncle first." Qing Wu said to Xiao Chenyan.
General Lin became more and more displeased with Qing Wu. During this period, news from the capital also came. He had heard about Qing Wu, the annoying princess.
After all, the distance was too far. Although Xiao Chenyan had contact with the Seventh King, he did not mention much about Qing Wu's affairs. After all, correspondence was not absolutely safe.
Therefore, General Lin also thought that Qing Wu was the daughter of Queen Yun, and even as most people in the capital believed, the reason why Qing Wu still retained the identity of Princess Yan was because Xiao Chenyan did it deliberately.
As for the fact that Prince Yan lost his temper for his beloved and beat up Minister Shi, General Lin didn't think that Xiao Chenyan was really standing up for Qing Wu, but was just looking for an excuse.
After meeting this person today, General Lin sensed something was wrong.
Especially the phrase "life and death intersect" just now, the old general felt that something was wrong!
Your Highness is obviously not the kind of person who would be blinded by lust!
It's not that he wants to affect the grievances of the previous generation to the next generation, that's a lot of blood debt! Every night when General Lin closes his eyes, he sees mountains of corpses and seas of blood, those soldiers who died in the battle ten years ago!
These are the corpses of his apprentice and the entire family of Zhenguo Hou who were wrongly accused!
He is not a saint, and it is extremely difficult for him not to vent his anger on others. It is absolutely impossible for him to believe Qing Wu in front of him just based on one sight!
As long as Xiao Chenyan was around, the old general suppressed his anger and didn't lose his temper, but he didn't let his guard down at all, instead he became even more vigilant.
He really couldn't understand what ability Yun Houxing's daughter had that could make the young prince let go of his hatred and trust her so much?
Not long after, Qing Wu saw the seventh king.
The man was lying on the bed, his breathing was steady, his face was slightly pale, and he looked a little thin.
The seventh prince's name was Xiao Yao, with the courtesy name Shoubai. From the looks of him, besides looking a little weak, he also looked more like he was asleep.
There was an old doctor nearby. When he saw General Lin leading his men in, he stood up and saluted.
"This is Doctor Mo. These are the days when he takes care of the prince's health."
Doctor Mo was once an imperial physician and knew Xiao Chenyan, so he didn't waste any words: "The prince's pulse is stable and there is no sign of poisoning. I am not capable enough and have not yet found the reason why the prince is in a coma."
"It's true that I'm not poisoned, nor am I sick." Qing Wu said.
Everyone looked at her. Doctor Mo didn't know Qing Wu's identity, so he didn't dare to speak rashly. But he heard General Lin say, "Does the princess also understand the art of Qi Huang?"
"don't know."
When General Lin heard this, his face turned even worse.
Qing Wu: "He knows evil magic."
This sentence frightened the old general and Doctor Mo so much that they immediately stood in front of the Seventh Prince's bed.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her with a headache and pointed at her with his finger.
Qing Wu blinked and said, I am just telling the truth.
"She loves to scare people. Mr. Lin and Doctor Mo don't need to be nervous."
"Young Prince, has this woman bewitched your mind?" Old General Lin now really suspected that Xiao Chenyan had been bewitched.
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. He is healthy. It is the Seventh King who was cursed."
General Lin's face froze: "Is the Seventh Prince poisoned?"
Qing Wu nodded and said no more, so as not to piss off the old man. Seeing her approaching with confidence, General Lin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Chenyan beside him, and made way.
But he was staring at Qing Wu with a wary look, as if he would take ruthless action if Qing Wu made the slightest move.
Qing Wu didn't care. She touched the seventh king's brow with her right hand and said softly, "Get out."
Her voice is the spirit of words.
The next moment, the Seventh King's body trembled, and then, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, an ant-sized insect crawled out of the Seventh King's ear.
This scene made General Lin and Doctor Mo's scalps tingle.
Qing Wu flicked her hand and the insect caught fire for no reason and was burned to ashes.
The Seventh Prince's breathing suddenly became heavier as if he had taken a deep breath. His eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes.
“Your Majesty!!”
“He’s awake! He’s actually awake!!”
