Queen Fang took a few seconds to sort out her emotions, then bowed to Zhu Houcong and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone wanted to kill your Majesty. Is your Majesty injured?"
At this time, Zhu Houcong realized that although he had saved his life, he had just been stabbed several times by the palace maids. He was unconscious when no one mentioned it, but now he suddenly felt pain all over his body.
Seeing Zhu Houcong's expression changed drastically, Queen Fang immediately ordered: "Send the imperial doctor to you quickly!"
The assassination of the emperor suddenly made the whole palace lively. After hearing that Zhu Houcong was injured, the imperial doctor ran all the way to Duanfei Palace and carefully checked Zhu Houcong's body before relaxing. Take a breath.
I have to say that Zhu Houcong is really lucky. The palace ladies were so panicked that they basically stabbed non-fatal places such as arms and thighs. If they had just stabbed directly at Zhu Houcong's heart, neck, and temples, I'm afraid the ending will be completely different.
The imperial doctor carefully bandaged all the injured areas of Zhu Houcong, and then quietly left the palace of Concubine Duan.
After the imperial doctor left, Empress Fang stepped forward with concern and asked, "Is Your Majesty okay now?"
"I'm fine, thanks to the immortal master who saved my life." Zhu Houcong didn't know that even if Zhao Changge didn't show up, he wouldn't die, but at this time he regarded Zhao Changge as his savior.
Immortal master?
Queen Fang naturally knew that her husband had great trust in the alchemist. Seeing that Zhao Changge was dressed strangely, she thought he was just an ordinary alchemist. However, for the sake of Zhao Changge saving Zhu Houcong, Queen Fang still politely thanked him.
"Master Immortal, you just said you wanted to take me to the next life, right?"
"Yes, but you were injured just now. If you find it inconvenient, I can come back in a few days."
Zhu Houcong hurriedly shook his head: "I'm fine. They're just minor injuries. They don't hinder me at all." After saying that, Zhu Houcong said to the queen: "I'll be away for a while. If anyone asks, just tell me that I need to rest."
Queen Fang didn't understand what it meant to go to the next life, but she knew that there was nothing she could do to stop it, so she could only agree obediently.
Seeing that Zhu Houcong did not look very weak, Zhao Changge directly waved his hand and reopened the crossing door. This scene fell in the eyes of Zhu Houcong and Queen Fang, and their eyes changed.
Isn't this really a fairy? Queen Fang began to regret that she had just confused Zhao Changge with an ordinary alchemist. She wanted to apologize, but Zhao Changge had already pulled Zhu Houcong into the crossing gate.
Seeing Zhao Changge and Zhu Houcong disappear in front of her, Queen Fang opened her mouth and didn't close it for a long time.
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were already a little impatient. Zhao Changge had not come back after leaving for so long. Although he believed that Zhao Changge, who could open the time-travel door at any time, would not be in danger, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Why did Mr. Zhao leave for so long? Something happened, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang kept tapping his fingers on the table, showing that he was very uneasy.
Seeing how anxious his father was, King Yan Zhu Di immediately comforted him and said, "Dad, Chang Ge is so powerful, there will be no problem. Maybe Zhu Houcong didn't believe in Chang Ge's identity, so he spent some time explaining."
It was possible. Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath. At this moment, the golden crossing door reopened, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others immediately stood up.
When he saw Zhao Changge walking out safe and sound, Zhu Yuanzhang was really relieved.
"Boy Zhao, you are finally back. What happened after you have been delayed for so long?" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he saw someone coming out from behind Zhao Changge. This person was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat on his head. The fragrant leaf crown looks more like an accomplished Taoist priest than an emperor.
Zhao Changge walked directly to the table, picked up his cup and took a sip, and then replied: "Don't say it, it was a coincidence when I went there. I happened to encounter a palace maid assassinating Zhu Houcong. He was delayed because he was slightly injured. For a while."
Assassinate the emperor? This is great!
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately changed: "This palace maid is so courageous. Could it be that the civil servants are also controlling her behind the scenes?"
Zhu Houcong twitched his lips in embarrassment. He was not like his cousin who would be suppressed by the civil servants. During his time in power, the civil service group was severely suppressed by him. Who would eat the bear's heart leopard? How dare you plot against him.
It's just that the reason why he was assassinated by the palace maid is difficult to explain, so Zhu Houcong did not open his mouth, but looked at everyone here carefully.
Zhu Houcong believed that Zhao Changge was an immortal, because only immortals could travel through time and space. He originally thought that Zhao Changge would take him to meet his ancestors in the legendary underworld, but the surrounding environment obviously did not look like the underworld, so this was really the so-called underworld. Later generations? Sure enough, everything is different from the Ming Dynasty.
Besides, many of the people in front of him were wearing dragon robes. Judging from their faces, they seemed to be somewhat similar to the portraits he saw in the Ancestral Temple. When Zhu Houcong's eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, all his original suspicions were wiped out. After all, he was very sure that this was his cousin, but why did his imperial brother, who had died long ago, look so alive now?
Zhu Houcong's heart was filled with many questions, but he wisely did not speak.
"This has nothing to do with the civil service group. It is entirely Zhu Houcong's own fault." Zhu Houcong didn't want to say it, but Zhao Changge didn't want to let him go. After saying that, Zhao Changge glanced at Zhu Houcong, who had been looking around him, and guessed that he still had a lot of doubts in his mind, so he pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Explain the current situation to your good cousin, so that he can be saved." Just guessing."
What a good cousin, he and Zhu Houcong have never met each other. If he hadn't known that this guy would inherit his throne after his death, Zhu Houzhao would not pay attention to Zhu Houcong.
In addition, Zhao Changge said that Zhu Houcong's political skills far exceeded his own, which made Zhu Houzhao, a conceited guy, a little unconvinced, so he couldn't help but feel some hostility when he saw Zhu Houcong.
However, in the face of Zhao Changge's order, Zhu Houzhao did not dare to speak out even if he was dissatisfied. He could only reluctantly explain to Zhu Houcong why everyone gathered here.
Zhu Houcong is a very smart man, and he understood his situation through Zhu Houzhao's explanation.
"Houcong pays homage to Taizu, Chengzu..." As soon as the word "Chengzu" came out of his mouth, Zhu Houcong immediately regretted it and slapped his mouth. He spoke so quickly that he forgot that there were some things that he couldn't mention.
Zhu Di frowned. He had heard Zhao Changge say that his temple name was Taizong, so what the hell was Chengzu?
