This night, Zhao Chong stayed and fell asleep. Rong Xia put the little princess by his side and guarded the two children all night.

The death of the crown prince was an extremely huge blow to Minqing Palace, and everyone from the crown princess to the little maids in Minqing Palace was panicked and didn't know where the future would be. When Pei Jinzhi came, what he saw was such a depressed Minqing Palace.

"What is this?" said the Crown Princess's haggard face, full of surprise.

Aunt Xiuxin took two steps forward, carefully picked up the things on the tray, and after looking back and forth twice, she replied hesitantly: "Hui Niangniang, this is a child's clothes, judging by its size, workmanship, and style, it seems to be His Highness's clothes." ”

It was very dirty, and it was stained with blood.

When the crown princess heard this, she instantly understood something, she looked directly at Pei Jinzhi below, and said in a trembling voice: "What does Master Pei mean by this? Why did you deliberately take a piece of Chong'er's clothes out?"

"Mother guessed right. This garment is His Highness's body, and it is what His Highness wore when the accident occurred that day. Pei Jinzhi said lightly: "After the accident, the minister took over the security work of His Royal Highness as soon as possible, and this piece of clothing was also retained. ”

As Pei Jinzhi's words fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly froze to the limit, and a trace of hideous expression appeared on the always beautiful face of the crown princess, only to hear her ask word by word: "What did you do?"

"This garment has been soaked in a special medicinal solution. It emits a smell that drives beasts crazy. On that day, a soldier hunted a giant bear, and the emperor, the crown prince, and all the accompanying princes and ministers were very curious, and the emperor ordered in public to let people carry the giant bear over to take a look. At that time, there were ten wrestlers carrying the giant bear to come, the giant bear was scarred, and there were more than a dozen cold iron arrows through the chest, everyone thought that the bear was dead, His Royal Highness Chong was curious, wanted to see it closely, the prince took His Royal Highness to the giant bear not far away, at this time, the giant bear that thought it was dead suddenly woke up, and was very lucky, all the way to kill more than ten people, and went straight to His Royal Highness Chong, His Royal Highness the Prince was injured by the giant bear this time in order to protect His Royal Highness. "In the end, he died.

"Are you saying that this qiē is not an accident, but someone is deliberately trying to harm Chong'er, no, they are trying to harm the prince!"

"Yes! I thought that the dead bear suddenly came back to life, where in the world is there such a coincidence. Pei Jinzhi's voice was unconsciously sandwiched with a chill: "According to what Weichen saw, that bear must have been drugged before, either dead but fainted, someone must have calculated the time and let it wake up when everyone watched, that bear is a murderous thing, and he must be killed when he sees a human being." And the strong smell on His Royal Highness Chong's body is afraid that it is a conspicuous light for that murderous thing, and he wants to kill it. ”

When the crown princess heard this, her withered face suddenly twisted into a yaksha, and her extremely undulating chest clearly told everyone how full of hatred her heart was at this moment.

"Embroider, embroider the heart, immediately change the clothes of the palace, I want to enter the palace, tell the matter to His Majesty in person, and ask him to avenge the prince!"

"Mother, slow down!" Pei Jinyi raised his hand and made a stop move.

"Master Pei, what do you mean by this?" said the crown princess weakly.

"The minister thought that it was better not to tell the emperor about this matter first, the person in the secret did it very neatly, except for the small coat in the minister's hand, he did not leave any substantive evidence. If you report this matter to the emperor now, you can only startle the snake. ”

"Then this matter is settled, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died in vain?" the Crown Princess was unspeakably sad and indignant.

"Not like that. Pei Jinzhi raised his head, and a cruel gaze flashed in his cold eyes: "Niangniang, don't worry, one day, those villains who murdered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will get the end they deserve." ”

The crown princess closed her eyes deeply, and after a while, she said dejectedly: "Then what should we do now?"

"Niangniang doesn't have to do anything!" Pei Jinzhi said lightly: "The prince has passed away, the emperor has fallen ill under the grief, His Royal Highness Chong is the son of the prince and the grandson of the emperor. ”

When the crown princess heard this, she suddenly had a wit in her heart, leaned over and said, "What does Master Pei mean ......?"

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness Chong is the son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, His Royal Highness Chong will be a stumbling block. If you don't fight at this time, you will end up with people fighting knives and me as fish and meat in the future. Pei Jinzhi said lightly: "And His Royal Highness the Prince, it's hard to take you."

Don't you want to avenge Your Highness?"

"You're right!" After a while, the crown princess nodded with a smile, although the prince was gone, but she still had Chong'er: "This palace will not let those villains who killed His Royal Highness succeed in their wishes, and no one wants to snatch anything that belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Pei Jinzhi saw that the crown princess showed an excited look in her words, and knew that she had gone to death and had the motivation to continue living. He is a subordinate of the East Palace, and he has been deeply branded by the prince's family, and sometimes he doesn't want to retreat, but he can't retreat.

"This palace has heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted Chong'er to you when he was leaving. The crown princess looked at Pei Jinzhi, and her voice softened for three minutes: "In the future, I will mention more to Lord Pei." ”

"Weichen will live up to the trust of the prince. Pei Jin's heart ached, and he said in a deep voice.

Rong Xi didn't know that Pei Jinzhi had already come to the East Palace, she only knew that His Royal Highness Chong had been taken away, and I heard that he had gone to the emperor.

In this way, another three months have passed unconsciously, the prince's mourning period has passed, the white flags and other things in the palace have been withdrawn, and the princess's body has also improved greatly, and now she can get out of bed and take two steps. Because of the winter, the little princess's body began to have some problems intermittently, Rong Xia and the doctors of the Tai Hospital all mentioned all kinds of hearts and minds to take care of them, especially Rong Xia, who took care of her for so long She has developed a lot of feelings for this little girl in swaddling clothes, and the little princess also likes her, sometimes crying at midnight, others can't coax her, only Rong Xia went over to hug it, and the little princess stopped crying.

Just like that, before I knew it, another year's Spring Festival came. This year's Spring Festival, Rong Xia was also spent in Minqing Palace, because of the prince's new funeral, the festival in the palace this year is also extraordinarily thin, Rong Xia and the chefs in the imperial dining room teamed up to make a table of vegetarian food, the princess first cried silently for a long time, and then ate all the dishes on the table by herself - although she did not finish eating.

When Rong Xia saw Pei Jin again, it was already April of the following year. After more than half a year, Rong Xia has a feeling of being separated from the world.

"I'm back!" On the stone path of Luzhuxuan, the gentle and gentle man smiled at her, like a spring breeze Buddha face, beautiful.

Rong Xia was fascinated by the color and snorted stupidly.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, his face was red, but the words he said were full of happiness: "Young Master--"

Pei Jinzhi looked at the little girl who was rushing towards him like a bird, and a slight smile appeared on his face. Rong Xia stood in front of him, his little face was full of joy that could not be concealed, he hadn't seen him for such a long time, he really wanted it!

"Why are you crying?" Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows amusedly.

Rong Xia twitched his nose, twisted his eyes and said, "Happy!"

"Young Master, you, are you okay?"

"Fool! Of course your young master is not good, without Ah Xia by his side, he can't even fill his stomach every day!" Rong Xia looked at him with a faintly doting look in the sun, but there was a sour, indescribable taste in his heart.

She actually knew that he hadn't been doing well lately.

Rong Xia has also heard a lot of things in the days when he was by the side of the crown princess, the so-called tree fallen monkey Sun San, after the death of the prince, the people of the East Palace have also been suppressed by different Cheng dù, especially when the emperor fell ill due to excessive sadness some time ago, the eldest prince's faction, and the three princes who gave birth to Xu Huifei fought a chicken, flying and dogs, and the entire court was in a miasma, if it wasn't for the emperor's condition all the better, I don't know what things would have developed.

Pei Jinzhi is a close confidant of the late prince, and this time has passed, and it is indescribably hard to think about.

Rong Xia didn't know how to comfort him, Pei Jinzhi not only lost his friend, but also lost his future dependence.

"Ah Xia is going to cook for the young master, cook a lot of food, the young master has to eat more!" Rong Xia was sad in his heart, but there was a happy smile on his face.

Pei Jinzhi stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head.

"What are you talking about, again, again?" Qiao Sulan's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi, you are indeed happy. The doctor kneeling at the bottom bowed his hand very courteously.

"God bless, God bless, madam, you have a baby!" Jiang Pei knelt on the ground with a puff, dancing happily.

"Congratulations, Madame, Mrs. Hexi. And all the maids in the room knelt down and shouted for the rest of the day.

At this moment, the four words ecstatic can no longer accurately describe the emotions in Qiao Sulan's heart. She had been looking forward to this child for too long, too long...............

Qiao Shilan's tears rained down.

"Madam, go and ask someone to tell the second master, the second master will be overjoyed when he knows it. ”

"Yes, yes!" After Qiao Sulan cried fiercely, she said again and again: "Quick, you go and ask the second master to come over immediately, I will tell him the good news in person!"

Qiao Sulan excitedly touched her belly, which had not yet protruded, and only felt full of happiness.
