535 A man's mind is as deep as the sea
Not long after Zhan Yang left, the second prince Zhu Yu came over.
Li Banxia couldn't help but be a little flustered, afraid that he would see some flaws. With his hands behind his back, he tried to calm himself down, as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Why did the second prince come over here, is it ...... Concubine Dan?" ”
"The concubine is fine at this moment, she just ate something and fell asleep."
"Oh~That's good~" She stayed in the room this morning, and she didn't go to visit Concubine Dan in person, but now she heard that she could eat and sleep peacefully for a while, and Li Banxia was also happy.
Because of these, for Concubine Dan, it is an extremely luxurious thing.
The second prince stared at her for a long time, seeing Li Banxia fidgeting, and just when he thought it was almost time, he finally spoke: "You saw him~"
Li Banxia's eyes widened.
"Do you think you can hide from this king? Anything that happened in this Qianqiu Pavilion could not be hidden from the eyes of this king. Zhu Yu's tone was cold, but he didn't show too much anger, he just coldly told Li Banxia the fact that he knew the truth.
"Yes, Brother Zhan did come here, but he didn't blame him, he just wanted to help me." Li Banxia was not afraid of him, she just didn't want this matter to implicate other innocent people.
"He's going to take you away?"
“…… Yes. ”
The second prince is silent, Liu Dongshan's affairs must not be hidden from Zhang Fengwu and his wife. He didn't expect that the couple was so smart that they would think of asking Master Bao for help. Lord Bao is upright and selfless, the mainstay of the imperial court, and an indispensable loyal courtier of a monarch. He succeeded to the throne. It also needs to be assisted by such a courtier. Although this man is sometimes stubborn. The brain is not civilized, and in his heart he is a rare talent. As a last resort, the second prince did not want to have a bad relationship with such a loyal minister.
But now, they're getting involved. With Master Bao's style of doing things, he will not give up if he does not dig this matter clearly and clearly. He has two paths, the first is to let Li Banxia leave now. Until this matter is held accountable, it is still too late. When Lord Bao saw Li Banxia go back, he would not investigate this matter again.
The second is to sabotage the action over there, he insists on not letting people go, and Lord Bao is asking for instructions from the current saint, and he can't do anything about it. He has no evidence, and there is no way to prove that Li Banxia was arrested by her, and when the time comes, he refuses to admit it, and he can't convict him of being the prince of the dynasty.
Loyal ministers are hard to come by. But if he is really stubborn, he will meddle in his affairs. He won't tolerate much either. Since ancient times, a monarch is a king, a minister is a minister, and if a courtier is not measured, don't blame the king's subordinates for being ruthless.
Of course, Master Bao is not such a person, he is just too upright and too fair. has been an official for many years, although he also understands some officialdom rules, he still retains a pure heart, just like the blue sky above the people, clearing the snow and avenging grievances for innocent and pitiful people, and showing justice.
If it weren't for Liu Dongshan's matter, he might have looked for other ways to solve it on the grounds that it was not under his jurisdiction and avoided formal involvement. And now, with Liu Dongshan's matter, it has aroused the anger of this adult. It is normal for people to ask for a doctor for injuries and illnesses. What is the reason, to arrest other people's relatives and threaten each other, and finally force them to death, if the matter is really related to the second prince in the end, even if it reaches the heavens, he will seek justice for Liu Dongshan and Li Banxia and his wife!
The second prince understands the personality of this Lord Bao, and because of this, he needs to be more careful in his next actions. Fortunately, Li Banxia has not yet been aware of the secret, and Lord Bao has not known the reason why he did this.
Is Li Banxia really ignorant? Still is......
The second prince has never been convinced of this, although Li Banxia is not a curious person, but with such a big flaw, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye.
Judging from the situation of her treatment of her mother in these days, her medical skills are indeed outstanding, and she is also very careful, and she can often find many other doctors' negligence. And it was precisely because of this that the second prince wondered if Li Banxia had been pretending to be garlic with him for so long.
She was very smart, and even if she found something, she didn't dare to say it, nor did she dare to show half of her surprise. Every time she treated her mother, he was by her side, not only because she was worried about her mother, but also because he wanted to closely reveal Li Banxia's reaction.
As long as she sees something, she must not be able to hide it from his eyes, and the second prince has always been confident in this. It is simply impossible for a man to hide something under his nose. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he had to see too many people's faces, and if he didn't even have this ability, he wouldn't be alive today.
After a few days of observation, except for Li Banxia's anxiety and worry about Concubine Dan's complicated condition, and her being in a daze from time to time, there was no other emotion. He knew that she was thinking about her relatives and her husband, and he often missed his mother in those days when he was alone in the deep palace. But no matter what he thought, his father would not let him see his mother.
Later, he slowly stopped thinking about his mother. Every time he thought about his mother, he used his strength on the big tree in front of the palace to make a deep nick. The nick was like a tick on the tip of his young heart, telling himself to be strong.
Only when he is strong, one day when he climbs to the top, there will be no one to separate him from his mother, he can protect his mother, and he can see her whenever he wants.
And when this day comes, he can protect his mother with his own strength, but the mother concubine has come to the last journey of her life. Even if one day, he climbed to that position, stood on the highest place, and had the highest power in the world, but he still couldn't save the life of his mother.
No matter how many days the mother concubine has left, no matter how long she can accompany him, she is the most important person in this world. He will never forget that his mother's thin shoulders supported him through the most difficult days. It was the warmest moment of his life, even though it was accompanied by the pain of a knife cutting his heart.
For all these years, he had not been able to really trust anyone, even the people next to his pillow approached him with various purposes in vain to get more from him. Over time, a heart can no longer have warmth, because in the heart of the second prince, he stubbornly thinks that only his mother can give him warmth and make him trust him wholeheartedly.
After getting to know Li Banxia, especially in the last few conversations with her, he began to feel that this was a sincere and kind woman, and he was willing to try to believe in her. But at this time, Zhan Yang appeared, and he looked at her nervously trying to hide all this, and his heart tingled inexplicably.
She was captured by him, and one day, even if he didn't kill her, she would still leave him.
"You know what? In fact, this king has known that this day will come......"
"......" Li Banxia looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he meant.
"This king has long known that Lord Bao's people will find this place. A few days ago, two people came from outside the Qianqiu Pavilion, and they said that they were asking about the Liukou, but the king still recognized them as people from the Yin Mansion of Kyoto Prefecture. ”
Li Banxia looked up in amazement, "The second prince already knew?" "Know why you're doing this?
Zhu Yu turned around, with the sun on his back, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
yes, if you know, why do you do it?
"Do you want to know why this king did this?" Zhu Yu often sighed, for many years, for many years, he had not had such an unfamiliar mood and situation.
“……”
"Because the king's heart has softened." Softhearted? These two words, he thought that they would never appear on him in this life. Reason told him that he must not let Li Banxia go back alive, but every time he watched her do her best for her mother's illness, even if she knew the results she might face, she still did not relax at all.
Over the years, he has met many women, and he has also seen all kinds of unscrupulous people for the sake of his family or for his own interests, and it is the first time he has seen a person like Li Banxia who is dedicated to being a man and does not want to reciprocate.
He could see that the concubine liked her very much. Every time she finished acupuncture for her mother, or when her mother was in better spirits, she would always half lean on the head of the bed, smile gently, and talk to him about his childhood.
Some people say that if a person keeps reminiscing about the past, it means that he/she is old. If an elderly person weeps while reminiscing, and often cries because of the past, or even cries for no reason, then he/she may be leaving this world.
Because I have too deep attachment and nostalgia for this world, even if I think of happy things, I can't stop crying. She would also tell her mother a lot about her, and knowing that he was there, she always paid attention to her words, and never thought of taking advantage of her mother's kindness to seek refuge for their husband and wife.
He could even feel that, in order not to make him suspicious, she tried to avoid many sensitive topics, telling interesting stories about her childhood and when she was treating others.
She is really a delicate and soft-minded person, and from the stories and past events she tells, you can know that she is a simple person.
Every time she left, the mother would always laugh alone for a long time. The mother concubine has a sentence that he remembers very deeply: if in the next life, it would be good if her leftovers could live an optimistic and simple life like Dr. Li.
The concubine asked him to be kind to Dr. Li more than once, because she was a good person and a good girl, and he couldn't bully her as a prince.
The heart softened again and again. Reason restrained his urge to let her go, and emotionally, he secretly hoped that there would be a reason to let him let her go and let her leave safely.
