A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1856 This matter, true or false, the ninth uncle
The officials of Dongling had a plan for dealing with the situation. Although they still felt a little guilty, they at least dared to enter the city openly. The civil servants, led by Lord Chen, all had smiles on their faces and were reserved and calm, as if the person sitting in the carriage was the Ninth Prince.
The guard brother felt something was wrong no matter how he sat in the carriage. The closer he got to the city gate, the more guilty he felt. "How about we say that the Ninth Prince is not feeling well and go into the city another day?"
"The arrow has been drawn and must be shot. Later on, you will just have to say 'hmm' and don't worry about anything else. Leave it all to me." When Lord Chen was admonishing the eldest guard, he was able to keep a smile on his face, which impressed the young guards around him.
It turns out that all the officials are foxes and very cunning.
"But..." The guard tugged at his clothes. The more he looked at them, the more uncomfortable he felt. He wanted to jump out of the car right now.
“No buts. I saw the Crown Prince of Xiling. Please sit down and don’t embarrass my Ninth Uncle.” Lord Chen said in a low voice and stepped forward quickly.
"Stop!" The master of ceremonies had already taken his position. When the Ninth Prince's ceremonial formation arrived outside the city gate, the Xiling officials who were waiting at the city gate, led by Crown Prince Xiling Tianyu, stepped forward to greet the Dongling officials.
If you look closely, you will find that there is an unfamiliar guard beside Xiling Tianyu, and he has been following Xiling Tianyu.
Lord Chen, the old fox, stepped forward calmly and dealt with the Xiling officials with ease. However, when he saw the guards beside Xiling Tianyu, the smile on Lord Chen's face froze immediately: "Nine..."
"Hush!" The Ninth Prince quickly made a gesture to keep quiet. Lord Chen reacted very quickly and turned his head away immediately, not daring to look at the Ninth Prince again. He spoke to the Xiling official in a slightly stiff tone: "Bring the wine... Today is a good day for both countries. The two countries will be in harmony and friendship, and the people will be prosperous and healthy from today. On such a good day, this humble official should make it clear."
"Lord Chen is right. We must have a good drink today." The officials of Xiling also echoed. No matter what happened in private, in front of the people, the officials of the two countries were friendly and kind, and always considered the people of the other country.
"Your officials in Dongling are so treacherous. Do you think I can see the Ninth Prince if I go up to him now and ask for him?" Xiling Tianyu took the time to say to the Ninth Prince who was standing beside him.
"Yes." The Ninth Prince was very clear about his officials. This Lord Chen looked timid, but in fact he was the most resourceful. He could stabilize the overall situation at critical moments and dared to take risks that ordinary people would not dare to take.
"Then I want to see how majestic the Ninth Prince of Dongling is." Xiling Tianyu had a joking look on his face. The Ninth Prince was too lazy to argue with him and prepared to find an opportunity to sneak into the Dongling ceremonial formation and return to his original identity.
Xiling Tianyu naturally understood what the Ninth Uncle was thinking. He deliberately brought the Ninth Uncle with him when he stepped forward and winked at him when no one was paying attention.
Xiling Tianyu stepped forward and expressed his desire to meet the Ninth Prince in person. If Lord Chen had not spotted the Ninth Prince, he would naturally not be afraid. But now that the Ninth Prince was really right beside him, Lord Chen dared not do so and hesitated, wanting to decline.
"Ahem..." The Ninth Prince lowered his head and coughed, expressing his displeasure. Sir Chen was so shocked that he almost knelt down. Fortunately, the people beside him reacted quickly and pulled Sir Chen to their side: "Sir Chen, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay. Quick, go inform the Ninth Uncle that the Crown Prince of Xiling wants to see him." Lord Chen said almost tremblingly, secretly regretting in his heart that he would not have come up with this bad idea earlier.
The Ninth Prince kept his head down, and no one else would pay attention to a small guard. Except for Lord Chen, no one else knew that the person next to Xiling Tianyu was the Ninth Prince of Dongling.
Soon, the guard beside the "Ninth Prince" came over and said that the Ninth Prince was not feeling well and that the Prince of Xiling wanted to see him, so he asked the Prince of Xiling to come over.
This arrogance made the officials of Xiling very dissatisfied. Lord Chen saw this and smiled to smooth things over: "The Regent heard that our people were ambushed and killed in Xiling. He was worried all the way. He traveled all night and accidentally caught a cold. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Lord Chen deliberately emphasized the three words "Regent" in order to tell the officials of Xiling that the Ninth Prince was equivalent to the emperor in Dongling, and that allowing the Crown Prince of Xiling to meet him would not humiliate the Crown Prince of Xiling's status.
Xiling Tianyu paused for a moment, and after the Xiling official accepted it, he suppressed his smile and stepped forward to greet him, which earned him a slight "hmm" from the guard Pai Gow Emperor's uncle.
Next, Xiling Tianyu said a few more words, and there was no other word in response to Xiling Tianyu except "hmm" in various tones.
"So, you can only say this word." Xiling Tianyu's face turned red.
He is almost dying, he has to find a place to have a good laugh, hahahaha...it's really funny.
"Hmm..." The Ninth Prince suddenly spoke. His low and hoarse tone and gorgeous turn of voice made Xiling Tianyu's scalp numb. Xiling Tianyu immediately returned to his serious state. He didn't dare to tease poor Lord Chen anymore and welcomed Dongling and his party into the city.
Huh... Lord Chen breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least he passed this level.
The Ninth Prince took the opportunity to quietly slip away from Xiling Tianyu and find Lord Chen. Under Lord Chen's cover, he changed into Dongling guard uniform, blended into Dongling's team, and then got on the Ninth Prince's carriage.
“Sir Chen, do I look like the real person? Have I brought shame to His Majesty?” The guard Pai Gow Emperor Uncle was extremely nervous. When he saw Sir Chen and a guard getting into the car, he quickly shook Sir Chen’s hand, asking for his approval.
"Not like that." The Ninth Prince said coldly. The guard frowned and was about to start scolding him, but when he looked up, he saw the Ninth Prince's handsome face magnified: "Ninth, Nine, Ninth, Emperor, Emperor, Emperor."
The eldest guard was tongue-tied and instinctively wanted to stand up and kneel, but the Ninth Prince held him back and said, "Change your clothes and get out of the carriage." The Ninth Prince untied his guard uniform, threw it to the guard, and took out spare clothes from the carriage and changed into them.
"Yes, yes... yes, yes." The eldest guard was so frightened that he lost his mind and felt like he was dreaming. Everything in front of his eyes was blurry and completely unreal. He had no idea what to do and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"Poor child." Lord Chen patted the eldest guard on the shoulder and comforted him silently. Fearing that he would bring trouble upon himself, Lord Chen hurried forward and helped the eldest guard take off the Ninth Prince's court robes and put on his original clothes.
The guard felt top-heavy, as if his feet were stepping on cotton. His whole body seemed to be floating, without any sense of reality. He didn't even know how he got off the carriage.
"Poor child, I heard that Miss Feng is a good doctor. I'll ask Miss Feng to prescribe some medicine for him when I get to the post station. If he becomes stupid, I'll be guilty." Lord Chen shook his head and sighed, as if he felt the same way. However, others saw that Lord Chen was an old fox and laughed secretly.
Come to think of it, if the Ninth Prince was dissatisfied with this matter, he would be very unhappy if the eldest brother, the guard, took on most of his anger for him.
The Ninth Prince and the guard brother had just changed their identities when they arrived at the post station. Inside the post station, there was someone they didn't expect to be waiting for them...
