I looked at him in disbelief and cold.
But he turned his eyes away from me, and he didn't say a word more, and the curvature of his side face was cold and abnormal.
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and the shrill voice of the eunuch broke the almost stagnant air—
"Respectfully invite the Third Highness and the Third Princess to enter the palace!"
He ignored me and lifted the curtain to get out of the car, without the slightest intention of reaching out to help me.
There was already a little eunuch standing aside with his head bowed and waiting to help me get out of the car.
And I fixed on his back, not moving.
"Respectfully invite the third princess into the palace!" Xu saw that I hadn't moved for a long time, and the little eunuch opened his mouth again to urge in a soft voice, although he still used honorifics, but there was already a faint trace of impatience in the words.
I took a deep breath, and suddenly heard Nan Chengyao's voice come coldly: "Even the master dares to urge, but he is really a good slave taught by Li Kang'an!"
The little eunuch was startled, and suddenly knelt down at Nan Chengyao's feet, kowtowing and saying: "The slave should die! The slave should die! Please forgive your Highness! The slave should die! Please forgive your Highness......
Nan Chengyao looked at him coldly: "You knelt on the wrong person." ”
The little eunuch was also extremely clever, and immediately turned to me and kowtowed like garlic: "The slave should die, please forgive the princess......!
I was about to speak, but I heard Nan Chengyao's voice come lightly: "I'm stunned about what to do, and I don't drag it out." ”
Immediately, someone responded with a "yes", and the little eunuch dragged him out of our sight, and the little eunuch was gagged, and he couldn't even make a sound, only a faint whimper gradually faded away.
I raised my eyes to look at Nan Chengyao, and was about to say something, but he had already strode back to the car, holding my wrist irresistibly, it seemed to be helping, but the force was so great that it almost dragged me out of the car, and in the depths of his dark eyes, there was no trace of emotion that could be interpreted.
The moment he stood on the ground, he let go of my hand, and his voice rang in my ears in a low voice, so soft that only the two of us could hear it, but every word sank into my heart: "You'd better remember what I just said." ”
I followed behind Nan Chengyao, followed the guide eunuch from Chengtian Gate, walked all the way through the Jiade Gate, Taiji Gate, Zhu Ming Gate, Liangyi Gate, and finally slowly walked into the main gate of the Dingqian Palace where the emperor lived.
In this high-walled forbidden palace, the fastest spread is gossip, what happened in front of Chengtian Gate is just now, but it seems to have spread to every corner of this Bauhinia Palace, or maybe it's because I'm too sensitive.
I always feel that along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs I met saluted us, and they were all respectful to the point of caution.
And although they tried their best to avoid it, they still couldn't control the eyes that looked at me, and there were too many lights and shadows with unknown meanings.
I lowered my eyelashes to hide my untimely feelings.
Entering the apse of Dingqian Palace, the emperor was leaning on the Taishi chair with a tired expression, his eyes closed, and his complexion was not very good.
And Concubine Qing personally served aside, and a pair of mutton-fat jade hands were gently massaging his head.
I followed behind Nan Chengyao, gritted my teeth and knelt down at the cold-eyed old man in front of me.
He waved his hand carelessly, motioning for us to get up.
It is these hands that are stained with the blood of my loved ones, both in past lives and in this life.
However, I couldn't do anything, I couldn't say a word, and my hands were hidden under the wide sleeves, and my nails were deeply embedded in the palms, and it hurt so much.
However, this pain is not worth one ten-thousandth of my heart.
"What are you bringing her for?" the emperor asked lightly.
"I heard that my father had a head illness again recently, and Erchen thought that she happened to know some home remedies, and they were still useful before, so he took her into the palace to try it. ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes softened slightly, but his words were still lukewarm: "That was in the past, and now she will prescribe a prescription for me, but I don't know if it will be poison." ”
"Father's words are serious. Nan Chengyao did not avoid the emperor's gaze, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "Women, since you are married, it is like water splashed from your mother's family, and in the future, you will naturally be a husband and a child. If the father can't trust her, can't he still trust his son?"
The emperor looked at him deeply for a long time before he spoke again: "You still want to protect her?
"She was pregnant with her son's flesh and blood. ”
The emperor sneered: "Murong Yun is also pregnant with your eldest brother's flesh and blood, he didn't hesitate much when he nodded and abolished the crown princess." Yao'er, I always thought you weren't a child-like person. Besides, I just want to abolish her title as the third princess now, and her life can naturally be saved until after giving birth. ”
Nan Chengyao didn't speak, paused for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "Father, do you still remember your mother?"
The emperor's expression changed and he was silent.
And Nan Chengyao's voice was slightly low, and it sounded again: "Erchen knows very well what it feels like to be without a mother to take care of him since he was a child, and he doesn't want my child to go through it again." ”
The emperor looked at him, his eyes gradually softened, and in the softness, there were some complex emotions of guilt and pain, which seemed to be loosened.
But I didn't want to celebrate Concubine Niangniang, and suddenly sighed softly: "The Third Highness and the princess are affectionate, but it's a pity that the Murong family has lived up to the emperor's deep favor and done such a rebellious thing...... Alas......"
Nan Chengyao slowly turned his eyes to look at Concubine Qing, but Concubine Qing didn't look at him, there was a hint of determination and complexity in her eyes, and her lips pursed slightly.
The emperor's eyebrows became cold again, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Nan Chengyao: "After the child is born, you can hand him over to the new princess to raise, although the daughter of the Du family is beautiful, but her background is a little low, it doesn't hurt to spoil a little, but not too much, I will pick a satisfactory family for you again, and I will definitely choose a virtuous and virtuous lady to take on the responsibility of raising the little emperor and grandson, I believe that whether it is a small prince or a small princess, the new princess will definitely treat it as her own." ”
"Treat it as your own, 'such as', after all, is not 'yes'. Even between biological children, there is a difference between relatives and distances. The corners of Nan Chengyao's lips slowly brought out a slightly cool arc: "Father, you should know better than me, right?"
The emperor's expression was deeply shaken, he didn't speak for a long time, and the complex light and shadow in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Concubine Qing's soft eyes contained a trace of imperceptible sharpness, no longer dodging, looking straight at Nan Chengyao, and asked word by word: "The Third Highness has always refused to abolish the concubine, and today she brought her to Dingqian Palace to say so much, is it just for the sake of the child?" /7/7517/)--
