Chapter 432 Returning to the Palace
Fu Yuxuan woke up to find that his legs were disabled, and then collapsed in despair. He was angry and resentful and wanted the Crown Prince and Prince Chen to pay for his life. He finally realized that it was of no use other than increasing the pain in his legs.
After waiting all night, He Zhiyuan did not show up and there was no news from his staff.
Even the guards who usually protected him in the dark disappeared.
Not to mention that Lu Heng, who was shot through the chest by an arrow from Prince Chen yesterday, must be in great danger.
What is left of him now?
"Mother, where is father?" Fu Yuxuan looked at Concubine Liu who looked haggard.
That entire night, only Concubine Liu was here to accompany him through the long night.
Concubine Liu looked haggard and exhausted, and her eyes were filled with sadness and despair as she looked at her son. "Your father has been here with her for a long time, but he couldn't hold on any longer. Yu'er, you..."
She wanted to ask her son if he felt better, but she was afraid that what she said would upset him and cause him to break down again.
Fu Yuxuan reached out and touched his son's knee, "Mother, when can we return to the palace?"
Concubine Liu opened her mouth and said, "We have to wait for your father's order. Now everyone is still in the tent. The prince sent people to search the mountains today. I wonder if there are still wild beasts."
"He is the one who made me like this. Why hasn't my father executed him yet?" Fu Yuxuan couldn't hold back when he heard that Fu Jinyuan could still come and go freely.
He wished he could tear Fu Jinyuan into pieces.
Concubine Liu hugged his shoulders and burst into tears, "Yu'er, forget it, we can't beat them. The Queen and the Ruan family have already taken control of the hunting grounds. We don't know if we can return safely. Please don't cause trouble, okay?"
Doesn’t she want Prince Chen to pay for his blood debt with blood?
I wanted to kill the other person in my dreams to avenge my son's legs.
But she found that she couldn't even send the letter, let alone call for help.
In addition to the hunting grounds, perhaps the royal capital is now also under the control of Queen Ruan.
In just one day, the second prince's forces were almost completely wiped out.
They couldn't defeat Queen Ruan.
"Impossible! Where is Prime Minister He? We still have a way to overthrow the Ruan family. As long as the Ruan family falls, the Queen and the Crown Prince will be finished too." Fu Yuxuan shouted excitedly.
There is still the most important thing that has not been done. As long as they hand over the evidence of the Ruan family selling official positions and titles to the emperor, they can still turn defeat into victory.
Concubine Liu cried, "Prime Minister He is still in the mountains and we don't know how dangerous he is."
Fu Yuxuan's lips moved but he couldn't utter a word.
He fell down weakly.
“Why don’t you kill me…why…” Fu Yuxuan moaned in pain.
Queen Ruan and Prince Chen deliberately spared his life. They were not afraid at all that he would tell his father that they were the ones who crippled his legs.
Why shouldn’t they be afraid!
Fu Yuxuan's expression was distorted and ferocious. "They don't even fear my father, so they didn't kill me. Even if I knew what they did, so what..."
Concubine Liu said, "It's not that your father doesn't want to punish them. The assassin's confession said that you wanted to ambush and assassinate the prince. Yu'er, is it true that you originally planned to kill the prince during the hunt today?"
"Yes!" Fu Yuxuan was determined to go all out, as he had nothing to lose anyway.
"Yesterday, not only did I want to kill the Crown Prince, but Prince Chen and the Queen also wanted to kill him. However, they had already seen through my plan and deliberately set up a trap to trick us. The Queen had already brought people to wait in the dark, and she was the one who plotted against us." Fu Yuxuan was filled with hatred.
He couldn't understand how the arrangement between him and Lu Heng was discovered.
In fact, Fu Yuxuan still underestimated Fu Jinyuan. He had no idea that Lu Heng had been watched by the people from the Pacification Office for a long time, and Fu Jinyuan knew his every move.
Concubine Liu thought of Liu Miaoxin who suddenly appeared in her tent.
I was suddenly startled.
Could it be that the appearance of my sister is also related to the queen?
So where is my sister now? She must be with the Queen.
The mother and son had different thoughts in their minds. At this time, a palace servant came to deliver a message.
The Queen ordered the camp to be moved back to the palace.
……
The lively spring hunting ended just as it began.
The emperor fell ill, the second prince was seriously injured, Prime Minister He was missing, and all the civil and military officials in the entire royal capital received shocking news one after another.
Over the years, Prime Minister He has supported the second prince, and his power has gradually expanded. There are even signs that the Ruan family is about to decline.
Many people also secretly turned to He Zhiyuan because the crown prince was ill and everyone believed that the second prince would definitely succeed to the throne in the future.
I didn't expect that there would be another unexpected turn of events.
First, the eldest son of the royal family returned, then the crown prince's old illness improved, and now the second prince broke his leg again...
The emperor has three sons. The second prince was deposed, and the other two are legitimate sons. No matter which one ascends the throne in the end, the winners will be the queen and the Ruan family.
Emperor Fu vomited blood and fainted. He finally woke up under the treatment of the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, you must not be angry anymore, otherwise you will be in danger of having a stroke." Concubine Ning said softly, holding the medicine.
"..." Emperor Fu was in a daze for a moment. He was not very old, so how could he have a stroke?
"Return to the palace immediately, it's not safe here." Emperor Fu issued the order. He was afraid that the Queen would poison him.
That's why I hurried back to the palace.
Queen Ruan didn't care. She quickly made the arrangements at the hunting ground and returned to the royal capital with Emperor Fu in a grand manner.
"The emperor probably doesn't want to see me, and I won't come to provoke the emperor." Queen Ruan said lightly.
Emperor Fu only had hatred for her and didn't want to see Queen Ruan at all.
When Fu Yuxuan returned to the prince's residence, he immediately asked people to invite all the officials who supported him.
He waited for most of the day, but only two people came.
"What? Just because you saw me getting hurt, you all went to seek other support!" The second prince was furious.
Lord Qi sighed, "Second Prince, calm down. It's not that we don't want to come, it's... it's because the Pacification Bureau was investigating the assassin yesterday, and everyone is in danger."
"Send someone to find Prime Minister He and make sure to bring him back." Fu Yuxuan said.
"Of course." Lord Qi nodded. He Zhiyuan was their pillar of support. Without him, they had no idea what to do next.
Fu Yuxuan lowered his eyes and said, "Also, let the Chen family do what needs to be done quickly."
Lord Qi looked at Fu Yuxuan's legs. He had actually been planning to break off ties with the Second Prince, but he had bet too much on the Second Prince and was unwilling to accept defeat.
"Yes." Lord Qi nodded.
"Second Prince, please take good care of yourself." Marquis Qi said in a low voice.
Fu Yuxuan didn't like seeing other people's sympathetic eyes, and shouted angrily, "Go, the king doesn't need sympathy."
Lord Qi sighed in his heart and had to say goodbye and leave.
Fu Yuxuan clenched his fists. Even if Prime Minister He could not come back, he could still deal with the Queen and Prince Chen.
Certainly possible.
On the first day Shen Suian returned to the palace, Chen Qiong'er knelt in front of her with a cloth bag in her hand.
"Princess, this was given to my father by Prime Minister He when I was away from home, and he threatened my father to make me put it in the prince's study."
