CHAPTER XLVII
Qingluan dancing mirror, red mandarin duck neck. The dream is still lonely. Chao Yan was lying on the bed, her face was pale and she frowned, and she muttered her husband's name in her dreams. Mrs. Gu on the side saw it and couldn't help but wipe her eyes, it only took a good daughter to become like this. In this capital, there are not a few female dependents whose husbands are in the army, but I have never heard of any like her, and the soul has followed. Listening to the old housekeeper, Prince Gong was also in a difficult situation on the front line, and the people in the capital who were doing good things mentioned the previous things to each other, saying that the prince might repeat the mistakes of the past. She didn't dare to let Chao Yan know these words, if she was worried again, she was afraid that her life would be lost.
"My lord, the concubines have been to King Gong's mansion. Zi Su asked Lei Xiao to sit comfortably and eat a few pieces of fruit before speaking.
"If you don't say it, I'll forget. Lei Xiao bit the sliced apple, "How is it?"
"Princess Gong is not good. Shiso said worriedly. "Said that he was bedridden, and Mrs. Gu went to take care of it. ”
"What?" Lei Xiao threw half of the apple in his hand back on the plate, "What's the disease?"
"I've been there. Princess Gong has been frail since she was a child, but now she is overly worried and her old illness has relapsed. "Shiso is truthful.
Lei Xiao listened and frowned, "I put Lei Yao at ease, but now it seems that his heart is not at ease." ”
"King, look at ......" Shisu stopped talking.
"You say. Lei Xiao listened to her and knew that she must have something to say.
"I beg you to allow Concubine Gong to visit Princess Gong. Zi Su said earnestly, "Princess Gong's affairs, I think the side concubine also knows a little bit about it, please remember their deep sisterhood, and allow her to go out of the palace to visit." ”
"You have begged me for the side concubine several times, what benefits did she give you?" Lei Xiao asked in a calm tone.
"She doesn't go to the concubine's palace a few times a year, and the benefits come from. Shiso said straight.
"Hehe," Lei Xiao smiled, "I guess I'm wrong to blame a good person." ”
"The heart of the concubine is the sun and the moon. Shiso also smiled.
"Then let you be a good person again, I'm ready. Lei Xiao sat up, "But I want her to go and come back quickly." ”
"Sister," Xi Yan hurried to Prince Gong's mansion, and then went straight to Chao Yan's room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chao Yan lying sickly, his mother was full of sadness, and the room was full of the smell of medicine. "How is she?" she asked her mother.
"Took the medicine and just fell asleep. Mrs. Gu sighed, "When I was awake, I hugged the prince's clothes and wept, and when I was asleep, I also called the prince's name in my dreams." ”
"Isn't the prince alive and well, what is she doing like this?" Xiyan listened, and his face sank.
"Don't say it, she misses the prince too much. Mrs. Gu looked at her with a bad face.
"Sister, sister. Xiyan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed while shaking gently and calling her.
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Gu anxiously dissuaded.
"Mother, I don't have time to wait for my sister to wake up, I'll have to go back in a while. Xiyan explained to her, "There are some things I must say." ”
"Sister, sister. She screamed even louder.
Chaoyan woke up from his dream and saw that it was Xiyan who was close at hand.
"You're here. She was pleasantly surprised, struggling to get up. But he fell back weakly. Mrs. Gu wanted to help, but was stopped by Xi Yan, "Mother, you go out and wait, I have something to say to my sister." She said irrefutably.
Mrs. Gu looked at Chao Yan on the bed and nodded to her gently, then sighed and went out.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Chaoyan's lips were bloodless, and his anger was like a gossamer.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Xiyan suppressed his temper and said, "The prince is working the front line, and you are adding a burden to him in the back?"
"I, I don't want to. Chao Yan said, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes.
Xiyan sighed and gently wiped away her tears, "I know you miss you too much, but if you torture yourself like this, it won't have any effect except to make the prince a little more worried." ”
"It's that I'm useless, but I really miss him. I'm so scared. Chao Yan held Xi Yan's arm.
"You don't have to be afraid, the prince will definitely return safely. Xiyan smiled at her hard, "So, you have to cheer up and take care of your body." Think of Si Zhao, he also needs your care. ”
"You don't understand, I've had nightmares every night since he set out. When I woke up, I was even more worried. Chao Yan closed his eyes. "You and I both know the situation of the prince in the court. How can I not be worried?"
"The more this is the case, the more you have to cheer up, if you fall, what will happen to this family? Do you want to not even leave a shelter for the prince?" Xiyan held her hand, "Please, sister." ”
Chao Yan had tears in his eyes and nodded, "I understand." ”
Xiyan took out a bag from her arms and handed it to her, "Take it, just use it, I will send it again in the future." ”
"Xiyan. Chao Yan looked at her sister, "Sister is useless, I still have you to worry about it." ”
"Don't be stupid, you're my sister. Xiyan shook her hand.
"I want to ask you for one more thing. Chao Yan pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "If, I mean if, if the prince really has something, you must beg the king for me, help him, save him." ”
Xiyan looked at her sister with tears on her face and nodded, "I promise, he will definitely come back safely." ”
"Thank you, Princess. Xiyan knelt in front of Shisu and thanked him sincerely.
"Get up, I really can't stand you to make such a big salute. She looked at Xiyan.
"No matter how big the gift is, it should be. Thank you for speaking for me in front of the King. Xiyan stood up and said respectfully.
"It's good that you know. Shiso blew the heat on the tea and lowered the cup again, "Sit down." ”
Xiyan sat down as she said.
"As for me, it's not all for you. Mainly for the king. Shisu paused, and then said, "If you are absent-minded because you are worried, then how can you serve the king well?"
Xiyan listened and smiled.
"However, has the king been to your palace recently?" Shisu glanced at her. "The few times he came over, it seemed that he was either referring to Concubine Li or Concubine Shu. ”
"Nope. Xi's face replied without changing his face.
"Are you still sick?" Shiso asked again. There was contempt in his eyes.
"Well, it's been a while. ”
"Hehe," Shisu chuckled, "You see what I asked?" but, Xiyan, you don't have to worry too much, the king's temperament is like this. When it's good, treat you as a treasure, and when you meet something fresher, you will also be forgetful. ”
Xiyan understands, thank you for mentioning it. She nodded, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Shiso's words at all.
"It's good to understand. Shisu looked at her smugly. "Go back and recuperate, maybe after a while, the king will remember. ”
