Because of the trouble about Mingmei, Ning Xi actually forgot about King Zhou, and when he remembered it, it was already noon the next day. In Ning Xi's impression, King Zhou likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, loves to paint, if he is interested, the sky is falling, and he will not put down his brush. is such a leisurely, uninterested prince can make the emperor unhappy, she is really curious.

However, after Shu Heng came back, Ning Xi first learned the news of Ning Miao's illness before he could ask. Ning Xi's first reaction was that the two side concubines in King Xian's Mansion had something to do, and various conspiracy theories had already begun in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and finally he was thinking about whether to call someone to prepare a carriage to go to King Xian's Mansion immediately.

Seeing this, Shu Heng explained helplessly: "Princess Xian heard that it was just a cold wind blowing, and she was frightened at the dinner party the day before yesterday before yesterday and suddenly fell ill, and this illness has nothing to do with those two people in the palace. ”

Ning Xi put her mind at ease, slapped all kinds of fantasies in her mind, and was a little curious for a while, which could make her second sister frightened, what happened at the dinner that day? Thinking like this, Ning Xi asked.

Shu Heng looked at the sun, then at the empty dining table, shook his head, first ordered someone to serve the food, and then took Ning Xi's clean hand and sat down before replying: "I left the table early that day, and I don't know what happened, I only know that King Zhou seems to have mentioned his biological mother, which angered the emperor." ”

After speaking, the dish had already been served, Ning Xi bit the silver chopsticks, thinking about Shu Heng's previous words, I heard that King Zhou's biological mother was originally a palace maid next to the emperor, and she passed away after giving birth to Queen Zhou, this palace girl did not make a mistake before, even if the emperor has no feelings for her, Cheng Dù, who will not be angry when he hears the name, what did King Zhou say that actually touched the scales.

Of course, Shu Heng knew the reason, but it was a matter of royal secrets, and Ning Xi naturally knew as little as possible, seeing that Ning Xi was still entangled, Shu Heng put a chopstick dish into Ning Xi's bowl. Ning Xi didn't pay attention because he was thinking about something, so he ate the last bite of the dish, chewed a few bites before he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly spit it out.

"Water, I want water."

Shu Heng had already prepared the tea on the side, and when he heard the words, he handed it over and fed Ning Xi a few sips, and Ning Xi felt that the spicy taste in his mouth had faded.

"Bastard!" Ning Xi was spicy by the chili pepper, where do you remember the matter of King Zhou, now her heart is full of anger towards Shu Heng, this guy is definitely deliberate.

Shu Heng achieved his goal and hurriedly appeased Ning Xi a few words, but seeing that Ning Xi's eyes were red, and a pair of watery eyes glared at him angrily, he actually felt as pitiful as a little white rabbit, in fact, it seemed good to bully his daughter-in-law occasionally.

At first, Ning Xi thought that Ning Miao was just a minor illness and would be fine in a few days, but he didn't want Ning Miao to be sick for more than half a month.

When they arrived at King Xian's Mansion, it was Mama Wu beside Ning Miao who welcomed the two of them into the mansion. Because Mama Wu was Ning Miao's confidant, Ning Xi was also relieved, so she asked, "What's the matter with the second sister's illness, it's been so long, and it's not getting better." ”

Mama Wu said lightly: "The doctor said that the princess's illness is not a big deal, but her body is weak and needs to be recuperated." ”

Ning Xi and Ning Yu both frowned when they looked at each other, Ning Miao's body was fine when she was in the boudoir, how could she get the Xianwang Mansion, and her body became weaker.

As they spoke, the group arrived at Ning Xi's courtyard. The decoration in Ningxi's house is still as elegant as before, perhaps in order to cover up the smell of medicine in the air, there are more flowers in the house.

Ning Miao was dressed in plain clothes and half-lying on the couch, with a thin blanket on her legs, her face was a little pale, but her spirit was not as haggard as she imagined.

Seeing Ning Xi and Ning Yu, Ning Miao got up slightly and beckoned them over.

Ning Yu walked up to her with a little distress: "Look at this face, how can it be so bad." ”

Ning Miao smiled: "Have you ever seen a sick person with a ruddy and shiny face?" ”

Ning Xi saw that Ning Miao was still in the mood to joke, so she was less worried in her heart, so she also walked to Ning Miao and sat down, pretending to be angry: "Are you still joking, don't you know that my eldest sister and I are very worried?" ”

Ning Miao touched Ning Xi's head apologetically: "Second sister made you worry that it was my fault, don't worry, my illness will be cured after a while." ”

"Why is your body so weak now, wasn't it good in the mansion before?" Ning Xi frowned.

"Where is it weak, it's just that Mama Wu is too nervous and insists that I take care of it for a while." Ning Miao soothed.

Ning Yu patted Ning Miao's hand: "Then you can take care of it, I see that you have lost weight, so it's good to grow more meat." ”

Ning Miao nodded.

Ning Yu wanted to say something, but a maid walked in, saying that Concubine Zhang and Concubine Xu had something to ask the princess.

Ning Miao raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Tell them to go back first, and then receive them after I finish meeting the guests here." ”

The little maid nodded and retreated, and after they left, Ning Xi frowned: "Is it really okay not to meet them?" ”

Ning Miao sneered: "They didn't come to see me. Seeing that Ning Xi and Ning Miao hadn't reacted yet, they nodded again: "I'm not in good health during this time, and the prince often comes to me." ”

Ning Xi and the two came to their senses, and Ning Yu said in an unkind tone: "I don't like to send them away, why do you let them in knowing their purpose." ”

Ning Yu didn't like her sister to marry into the palace, but now she was in a bad mood when she saw that her sister was going to grab a man with other women.

Ning Miao smiled, she didn't look at the two side concubines yet, although they were a little cautious, but as long as they didn't touch her bottom line, she could tolerate it, the only thing she needed to watch out for in this mansion was the pillow person.

The three of them talked for a while, and Ning Yu was worried that the children in the family would leave early, so Ning Xi was the only one left. Seeing Ning Yu leaving, Ning Xi asked, "What happened to the dinner that day." ”

Hearing this, Ning Miao's eyes turned cold, she withdrew everyone, and took a sip of tea before replying: "How much do you know about King Zhou's mother." ”

Ning Xi was stunned and said the few things he knew. After Ning Xi finished speaking, Ning Miaocai said leisurely: "As we all know, King Zhou's mother has a low status, but the mother is more expensive than her son, since King Zhou's biological mother has gone, then this glory should naturally fall on his mother's family, but have you heard of King Zhou's uncle's family?" ”

Ning Xi shook his head: "Xu is the biological mother of King Zhou, there is no one in the family, otherwise she would not enter the palace as a palace maid." ”

"It's possible." Ning Miao paused, "However, on that day, King Zhou took advantage of his drunkenness to beg the emperor to release his uncle from the guard in front of everyone. ”

Ning Xi was a little surprised, Wei Suo, that is the place of exile, what crime did King Zhou's uncle commit to the point of exile.

"If it were ordinary people, what kind of great sin would they commit and the family would be exiled." In the end, Ning Miao stared straight at Ning Xi and said word by word, "King Zhou's mother, is she really just a palace maid?" ”

King Zhou's mother is not a palace maid, so who is it? Why did the royal family hide her identity?

Ning Xi pursed her lips and looked at Ning Miao: "Second sister, you say, is King Zhou's mother really dying of childbirth?" "Does her death really have nothing to do with the emperor, Ning Xi didn't dare to think about it, would the uncle who was kind and kind to her and made her always full of admiration really kill a woman who gave birth to a child for herself? Ning Xi wanted to deny it, but there was still a voice shouting in his heart, that person, but the emperor!

Ning Xi couldn't help but clench Ning Miao's hand: "Second sister." She wanted a negative answer, her uncle wouldn't be that cruel person.

Ning Miao sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't know that Ning Xi valued family affection, and it was not easy for her to accept that a relative who had been loved for many years had such a cold side behind her.

"Third sister, these are just our guesses, we don't know what the truth is, don't think too much." Ning Miao comforted her, but in the end, she couldn't help but add, "That person is the emperor after all, you don't care too much." ”

Ning Xi nodded, she knew that the throne was actually not easy to do, no matter how much her uncle said it, he was also an emperor, and in that position, there were too many people who couldn't help herself, she just needed to remember that her uncle really loved her.

As for King Zhou's mother, they just need to remember that person is just a palace maid, and as a member of the royal family, pretending to be deaf and dumb is something they have to do.

When Ning Xi returned to the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion, Shu Heng had already returned, and when he saw Ning Xi, he got up and took off the cloak on her body, and stroked the broken hair in Ning Xi's ear: "How is it, Princess Xian's body is fine." ”

Ning Xi said lightly: "Second sister is fine. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, I see that you are haggard these days, have you eaten, I asked the kitchen to leave you white fungus lotus seed soup, you can use some." As he spoke, he was about to pull Ning Xi to sit down at the dining table.

Ning Xi didn't move half a step, but looked at Shu Heng quietly, the second sister could see the clues about King Zhou's biological mother, Shu Heng must have noticed that something was wrong, and even he knew more than the second sister, but he didn't tell her anything.

Can she think like this, in fact, he tries his best to isolate her from right and wrong, Shu Heng, he is actually very good to her, at this moment, she suddenly had the idea of living with Shu Heng simply.

Thinking like this, Ning Xi reached out and wrapped his hand around Shu Heng's waist, and shouted softly: "Shu Heng, Shu Heng." ”

Shu Heng sighed lowly, guessing what Ning Xi knew from Ning Miao when he went to King Xian's Mansion today, seeing Ning Xi burying her head and looking unhappy, he was distressed, touched her head, and coaxed in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm here, I've been there." ”

Ning Xi's nose was sour, and he hugged Shu Heng tighter.

The flowers bloom in two branches, one on each branch

After Ning Xi left, Ning Miao squinted, this game of chess in the capital is really getting more and more fun, she didn't want to enter the game, but she married the prince of the Middle Palace, is it really up to her in the future? It's just that she is willing to be a chess piece, what about Ning Xi, will she be willing? That person, after all, is Ning Xi's relative.

"Princess? Princess! Mama Wu's voice made Ning Miao come back to her senses, straighten her clothes, and said lightly: "Go and invite the two side concubines to come over." ”
