Chapter 12: Old Grudges

- The two men who almost collided with me were a pair of master and servant, the older of them with a gentle temperament, and a few inconspicuous pieces of jewelry, which should be the master; The young man who followed behind him was even more simple, and his delicate face was still childish, much more innocent than the precocious and capable little cicada.

He patted his chest in fear, then hurriedly held his master, asked with concern, and after the latter smiled and shook his head that he was fine, he suddenly stepped forward, pointed at me and was about to say something, but the moment he looked up and glared at me, it was as if he had been choked by the neck, and could not say a word again; And the outstretched fingertips also trembled unconsciously, as if they had been greatly frightened.

I frowned, and was about to speak, but the gentle-looking man suddenly burst out, pointed at me and hissed, "You demon again!" What else are you going to do! Haven't I been hurt hard enough by you...... Why! Why are you so vicious? You say! ”

"Master! Calm down, master! Don't be angry, hurt your body again! "I think if it hadn't been for the attendants beside him who grabbed him, he would have jumped up and beaten me in spite of everything.

――What did Kwong Xihan do to teach the other party to hate her like this?

That look in his eyes actually seemed to be about to eat his flesh and drink his blood and still couldn't relieve his hatred.

"You give back my child! My baby...... My hard-working child......" He could not break free from the attendant's hindrance, and then he leaned on his shoulder and wept bitterly, with a sad voice, and his liver and intestines were broken, and his heart could not bear it.

I froze in place, biting my lip, trying to say something several times, but finally I could only swallow it back - apologize? But I don't even know what happened; Just leave with your sleeves up? It's too ruthless.

Just when I was in a dilemma, the attendants of the brigade who were attracted by his sudden cry hurriedly arrived, and everyone surrounded the master and servant, and the leading attendant bowed to me and saluted, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you are frightened, the slave and maid will take Wu Shijun away!" ”

- Wu Shijun?

So, this man is one of Kuang Xiqing's harems?

But how could he be involved with Kuang Xihan...... The information revealed between the lines seems to piece together an incredible story.

I was a little scared, but I was overcome by my curiosity and couldn't help but want to know the truth.

"Wait," I called out to the attendant who was eager to fly away from my eyes immediately, glanced at Wu Shijun, who was immersed in grief, and asked in a low voice, "He...... What's wrong? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Wu Shijun had a miscarriage not long ago, and he was overly worried and even unstable, originally the imperial doctor said that letting him go out and walk around more would help him recover, but he actually collided with His Highness, and asked His Highness to forgive his sins." He explained urgently, and finally knelt on the ground, nervously waiting for my departure, and the other attendants immediately knelt on the ground with "hulala".

Without the shackles, the crazy Wu Shijun wanted to rush up again, but the attendant kneeling beside him hurriedly stopped him, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

-- But that's not all I want to know.

But looking at the reaction of this attendant, even if I know some of the causes and consequences, I am afraid that I will not leak the rumors and publicize it, so as not to attract the disaster of killing, if I rely on the prince's respect and strength, it is very likely to hurt him...... In that case, forget it.

Yixing shook his head and motioned for them to get up: "That's it, this king is fine, you can take him back." After thinking about it, I added, "By the way, he didn't rush into this king, find a royal doctor to take a look at him and let him rest well." ”

"The slave obeys." The leading attendant let out a long breath, nodded with a smirk, and eagerly commanded the pair of master and servant to be carried away—as if afraid that I would change my mind and find fault again.

Even though I was dragged and forcibly carried away, the man did not forget to turn his head and stare at me, and the resentment in his eyes taught me a chill to rise from the soles of my feet.

The feeling of powerlessness suddenly hit my heart, and even the mood of being amused by the little attendant named Zizheng just now added a little heaviness.

Although I can't remember what happened, I can also deduce a rough idea from the reactions of those people - this Wu Shijun's miscarriage should be inseparable from Kuang Xihan, and it is no wonder that the other party hates her to the core.

The suspicion is: Did Kuang Xihan intentionally harm the other party's miscarriage, or was it unintentional? If so, for what? What kind of entanglement of interests will a prince of the previous dynasty and the prince of the harem be worthy of her ruthlessness?

There was a shadow in my heart, doubts and guilt were intertwined, and the strength of the wine rushed up, and even the throat was filled with bitterness.

The thought of going back to the banquet hall suddenly went out, and I planned to stay outside for a while, and then go back after I had collected my feelings; As for whether Kwong Xiqing will send someone to find him, it is not within my consideration.

The sky was gradually sinking, the sunset was dyed purple by the night, the moon had already revealed half of its bright outline, there was no one around, not a single attendant could be seen, although it was lonely and empty, but it was also peaceful.

The gentle breeze finally dissipated the heavy haze in my heart a little, and also made me regain a little bit of fun, and before I knew it, I had walked far away.

At the end of the promenade is a spacious garden with rockeries and a special kind of fun, and I can't help but step into it along the porch.

Suddenly there was a rustle of grass in my ears, and I turned my head suddenly, but I saw Jiang Zhuo silently following me half a step behind, with a calm expression, not panicked by my sudden discovery of her, obviously deliberately making that movement so that I would know.

"Why are you here?" I took a deep breath and turned my head to touch the cold rockery to lower the temperature of my palm and calm my heartbeat that had been unsteady because I was alone with her.

I don't know why, but I always lose my sense of normalcy in front of her, as if the more calm she is, the more I can show my panic.

It is clear that I am the prince, and she is just a little guard, but I feel that whenever I am looked at by those calm eyes like water, I feel as if I have been thrown down by a cold pool, trapped at the bottom of the pool and unable to move; Or maybe my sense of morality and responsibility made me feel guilty about her as a sadist, even if the creditor was Kwong Xihan, not me.

"Didn't the prince bring Jiang Zhuo to the banquet to protect your safety?" She frowned in confusion and asked softly, "You've been away from the table for too long." ”

"I, this king......" I shook my head, not going to explain more, "forget it...... This garden has a good view, you can walk with this king.

Without waiting for her answer, I continued to walk towards the rockery, and the bends and twists and turns went deeper; And the unhurried footsteps behind me also made me feel a little more secure in this increasingly dark environment, so that I would not be afraid to the idea of going home.

Walking out of the scene of a small half cup of tea, the eyes suddenly opened up, but it was another exit to the rockery; My footsteps seemed to be involuntarily walking here, as if there were some vague fragments in my memory, vaguely revealing that this was once the place where Kwong Xihan often came.

Just as I was trying to ignore the excruciating pain and try to remember, there was the sound of Suosuo's clothes grinding in the grove behind the rockery, as if someone was hurrying this way—Jiang Zhuo, who had been keeping a step behind me, also stepped forward and guarded me quite vigilantly.

"What people!" She snapped.

The other party seemed to be startled, accompanied by the crisp sound of the ring, I saw the true face of this uninvited guest, but my heart was shocked - this face is a little familiar.

The next life has a pair of longing and shining Danfeng eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and it seems to be more charming between smiling and not smiling; His complexion is fair, his lips are red, and he is swaying and swaying while walking, like the spirit fox fairy described by Pu Songling, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I realized that this beautiful fox fairy was actually a man: "You are a wrongdoer, but you can think of slaves!" ”

- Wait a minute, what is he talking about?

Is he talking to me?

Looking at Jiang Zhuo, who was expressionless but silently took a step back, and the man with an eager face, I was a little confused.
