Chapter 1606 Shelter from the wind and rain

Juxiandong Hall was silent. This time the prince did not ask anyone to accompany him. He just ordered everyone to wait outside, including Liuli. The square in front of the hall was built flat and smooth, like a huge jade mirror, and the road was wide and neat. The prince's wheelchair had a mechanism, so he arrived in front of Juxiandong Hall without any effort.

The emperor did not summon him, but as the prince, it was natural to ask for the queen and pay tribute to the queen.

Although the palace maids around the emperor were replaced, the palace maids were not replaced by the queen. There were more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids who served the queen in Xiandong Hall. As the mother of the Great Qin Empire, there were only more than 20 people, but there were not many.

The prince came to the gate of the east hall and ordered the eunuch in front of the hall guarding outside the door to report. The eunuch obviously did not expect that the prince would come to Hexi and hurried into the palace to report. The prince sat quietly in a wheelchair and looked up at the bright moon that had risen in the sky, looking full of thoughts.

Before waiting for too long, the eunuch came out and replied: "Your Highness, Empress... The Empress said that Feng's body was not in good condition and it was not appropriate to meet him at this time..."

The prince's face darkened, and he just said coldly: "Push me into the palace!"

"Your Highness…!"

The prince's eyes were like ice, staring at the eunuch, "Do you dare to disobey the order of my palace?"

The eunuch was in a dilemma, and the prince had already shouted in a deep voice: "I can't come yet."

The eunuch shivered and did not dare to disobey. He came forward and pushed the prince's wheelchair from the flat ladder to the front of the hall. Seeing that the prince looked at him coldly, he hurriedly ordered the two of them to come and carry the prince's wheelchair into the hall. After entering the hall, the prince said lightly: "Push me to the queen's place."

"Your Highness..." The eunuch said in vain: "The Queen's will..."

The light flashed, and there was an extra dagger in the prince's hand, looking at the eunuch coldly, "If you say something more, I will cut your throat now."

The eunuch shivered again, how dare he disobey his orders? He pushed the wheelchair with his teeth and shuttled through the deserted palace. After a while, he arrived at a finely carved gate. The gate was closed, but two palace maids stood in front of the gate. The eunuch whispered: "Your Highness, the Empress is resting inside..."

The prince nodded slightly and waved his hand: "You all retreat!"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, dared not say much, waved to the two palace maids, and the few hurriedly retreated. The prince then activated the mechanism, and the wheelchair reached the front door. The prince stretched out his hand and pushed the door. The door was not closed tightly. With a rattle, it slowly opened. The prince then rolled the wheels himself and entered the house.

The house is exquisite and luxurious. After the prince entered, he smelled a smell of sandalwood.

He rolled his wheelchair and slowly passed by, and bypassed a screen. Behind the screen was a vermilion wooden arch, and a gauze curtain was hanging from the door. When he arrived at the door, the prince pondered slightly. Just as he was about to go in, he heard a quiet voice from inside: "Without the order from this palace, why dare you trespass the palace gate?"

The prince stopped in the wheelchair immediately, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Is it okay for the queen mother?"

"I am very good." The queen's voice came from the house, without any emotion, and she sounded very cold: "The Lord asked you to guard the capital, why did you come to Hexi?"

"The capital has fallen." The prince hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "I came to Hexi to meet my father, gather northern troops, and go south to recover Kyoto."

"Where is Yingren now?" the queen asked.

The prince immediately showed a cold look on his face and said lightly: "The capital is in chaos, the war is in chaos, and there are too many people who don't know where he is. I don't know where he is now, whether he is life or death."

"You...!" The queen's voice was finally filled with anger: "You are in the capital, didn't you watch him?"

"Look at him?" the prince sneered, "My mother probably forgot that the father ordered him to stay in the capital and assist in the country. He was already an adult and no longer a child. Even if I wanted to watch him, the mother thought he would listen to me?"

A figure appeared behind the veil, inside and outside the arch, two veils hung down. Although the prince could vaguely see the outline of the queen, he could not see his face clearly.

"You are his brother." The queen's voice was obviously full of worry: "You know he has been growing up in the deep palace, without any intentions, and the capital is in turmoil. As the brother, you should have paid attention to his safety."

The prince smiled and said, "My mother forgot that when I was as old as him, I had already fought in battles, and I had been through many tests... Since Yingren is a descendant of the Ying family, he has to bear the disaster and good fortune and danger by himself."

The queen said in anger, "Why did you treat him like this?"

"My mother wants me to treat him?" The prince's face darkened and said coldly: "Do you have to stay by his side day and night? I will give him whatever he wants. I will give him whatever he wants. I will give him all the wind and rain? My father has always done this for almost twenty years. Since Yingren was born, his father has been sheltering him from the wind and rain... He is the son of his father, and his father has sheltered him from the wind and rain. I have nothing to say, but why do I have to shelter him from the wind and rain? My head is full of wind and rain, and I can only shelter from the wind and rain."

The queen raised her hand and stroked her chest, her figure shaking slightly. The prince's face suddenly changed and she said in a lost voice: "What's wrong with you... what's wrong with you?" She was about to rush in, and the queen had already said sternly: "Don't come in!"

The queen's voice was extremely resolute, and the prince was stunned for a moment, but he did not continue to go in.

After a while, the queen's helpless voice came out: "Crown Prince, how is Yingren now? You...even if you ignore the rest, you should always estimate the feelings of a mother."

The prince's eyes twitched, and after a long time, he finally said, "Don't worry, he is not dead, he is still alive."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"If it were me, would you be so worried?" The prince finally asked after a moment of silence: "Have you known about the fall of the capital?"

The queen said: "I heard this news a few days ago."

"I know that the capital has fallen, I know you will be very worried about Yingren." The prince stared at the figure behind the veil: "Has the mother ever worried about me?"

The queen sighed: "The prince is safe and sound now, and no one needs to worry anymore."

The prince raised his eyebrows, "As for this reason, I have really worried about me behind the scenes?"

"You are the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty." The queen said slowly: "The capital has fallen, and many people are worried about you. Those who know the news here are praying for the prince. The prince is safe and sound now. I think everyone is very happy."

The prince let out a weird laugh: "Everyone is worried about me? Do you think I will care whether others are worried about me?"

There was a silence in the room, and after a moment, the queen could hear the gentle voice: "I am tired, the prince... it's time to go and rest."

"How long has it been since we met?" The prince put his hands on the wheelchair armrest and held the handle tightly. "Ten years... or fifteen years... I can't remember it."

The queen didn't speak, and the house was as quiet as death.

"Father's Northern Trip, I have been worried since the day you left Beijing." The prince said slowly: "You are from the south, Hexi is located in the northern border, and the climate here is not suitable for southerners...!"

The queen finally said, "I'm sorry, the prince has troubled me."

The queen's voice was neither cold nor hot, very indifferent, and she seemed to have no interest in continuing. The prince closed his eyes and his face twitched slightly. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked, "Did the mother always resent me?"

The queen's voice suddenly became cold: "Stop talking."

The prince frowned, and the queen said coldly: "The prince has asked for peace. He has said everything he should say, and he shouldn't say... I don't want to listen again."

"I know you must still resent me in your heart." The prince sighed: "It's been eighteen years..."

"Come here..." The queen let out a sharp scream, and there was a sound of footsteps outside. Several eunuchs and palace maids had quickly entered the house and fell to the ground. "Empress..."

The prince looked complicated. He closed his eyes and held the chair handle tightly with both hands, and the blue veins on the back of his hands burst.

"The prince is tired, you can send him out." The queen said coldly: "Remember, without my palace's advice in the future, no one is allowed to enter the palace. If anyone disobeys, I will never let go."

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and turned to the prince, begging: "Your Highness, please leave the palace!"

The prince took a deep breath and finally said, "Mother, take care of yourself." He turned around the wheelchair, hesitated for a while, and finally started the mechanism and went out on his own. Several palace maids were about to enter the back of the veil. The queen said coldly: "You all retreat. Without the orders from the palace, no one should come in and disturb me."

Everyone dared not disobey, so they pushed forward one after another, and then brought the door to the house. Two eunuchs followed the prince and left the east hall. One eunuch came forward to help the prince push the wheelchair. The prince shook his head and said, "You go back and take good care of the queen."

The eunuch said yes, and the prince had just got off the flat ladder and arrived in the square. Liuli and Zhao Quan were already waiting here. Seeing the prince coming, Liuli immediately came up. Under the moonlight, he saw that the prince looked sad and didn't want to say much, but Zhao Quan couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, you...!"

The prince frowned and Liuli said softly: "Your Highness, you... your eyes are red..."

The prince forced a smile and said, "After meeting with his mother just now, he was swept into his eyes by the veil, and it was nothing serious." He ordered, "Go to Wuping Mansion first, and I must meet Yuan Chongshang first."

When the prince arrived in Hexi, Chu Huan did not know the news. In the past two days, he had clearly felt the increase in the number of servants in the inn. He knew very well that it was the eyes and ears sent by Feng Yuanpo.

Chu Huan knew that since Feng Yuanpo had discovered his whereabouts, Feng Yuanpo would certainly not let him escape from his control. Although he reached an agreement with Feng Yuanpoxu and Wushe, he knew very well that his situation was already very dangerous. It was probably not an easy thing to escape from this trip to Hexi.
