Chapter 36/9: Violent Death
"What, what did you say, Mama?" Liu Ruoxi could barely believe her ears. The old prince is dying, and she is already mentally prepared. But although Rong Chengyi's body is not strong, he has always been fine. Just today, I said a lot to her, and although Rong Chengyi looked tired and sad at that time, he was by no means going to "no good".
I asked Mama Chang several times, and I got the same answer. Liu Ruoxi was shocked in her heart, so she could only take a deep breath to calm herself as calmly as possible.
"I know what's going on, it's fine at night." Liu Ruoxi asked Mama Chang.
"Madame, something seems to be wrong." Mama Chang's face was still nervous. Chang Mama told Liu Ruoxi that there is some chaos outside now. And she only got the news that Rong Chengyi was dying, but she couldn't get accurate news about the rest. It seems that someone deliberately blocked the message.
Mama Chang can feel that something is wrong, let alone Liu Ruoxi.
"Mama, do you know where the prince is wrong? Where is Master Hou now? The princess ......, and the princess ......" Liu Ruoxi was busy arranging her dress and preparing to go out, and asked Mama Chang one after another.
"Madame Hui, the old slave has just received this letter, so he will come back to report to Madame. The old slave has already sent someone to inquire about the news, and he should be back. Mama Chang said hurriedly.
Mama Chang has seen a lot of things over the years, and she has served Liu Ruoxi for so long, and many things can be arranged for Liu Ruoxi without Liu Ruoxi's instructions.
Liu Ruoxi nodded, agreeing with Mama Chang's arrangement. She can do much on her own, thanks to these loyal and reliable people around her. Moreover, she is not what it used to be. Now that she is in charge, even if someone deliberately blocks the news, she will never be completely kept in the dark.
Soon, the little girl who was sent by Mama Chang to inquire about the news came back.
Rong Chengyi is in Rongyuan Hall. Rong Chengyi waited beside the old prince for a long time, and he couldn't support it in the middle of the night. Under the persuasion of Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengxiang. Rong Chengyi returned to Rongyuan Hall. Rong Chengyi's statement at the time was that he wanted to go back to see the princess and Rong Jin, and he would return to Chunhui Hall later.
Even if he wants to take a break, Rong Chengyi wants to rest on the old prince's side, so that his heart can be stable.
However, Rong Chengyi never came back to Rongyuan Hall this time. Until he was discovered by the little girl in Rong Yuantang, Rong Chengyi was lying on the couch, bleeding nonstop. The little girl was frightened and immediately shouted.
The chaos just now. It was because the news spread in the palace.
"Madam, these ......" The little girl lowered her voice and told Liu Ruoxi, about Rong Chengyi's part of the inside story, Rong Chenghan personally told her. The little girl went over to inquire about the news, and was seen by Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan knew that she was Liu Ruoxi's confidant, and she was very clever, so he called her to him and asked her a few words.
These key sentences are the news that has been blocked at the moment. Rong Chenghan asked people to sue Liu Ruoxi, because he wanted Liu Ruoxi to have a bottom in her heart. Then it's easy to deal with.
"Master Hou has already asked the imperial doctor to treat the prince. Master Hou instructed the servant to tell his wife that he could not be separated at this time, and let his wife take care of Xiao Shizi. It's cold, and my wife has caught a cold for the past two days. Take care of yourself, too. The little girl told Liu Ruoxi exactly what Rong Chenghan commanded.
"Oh......" Liu Ruoxi's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and muttered for a long time.
Rong Chenghan's words were a little strange.
Although she has been very tired and tired in the past few days, she has not caught a cold. Rong Chenghan would not be unaware of this. You won't be mistaken because something has happened. Rong Chenghan is a little girl, secretly conveying some kind of message to her.
Some words, even the most confidant. It's also not convenient to convey.
Rong Chenghan said it secretly, but Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a moment, but suddenly realized.
Obviously, Rong Chengyi's death is mostly a bit strange. This matter must not be good. The palace is bound to make huge waves. This matter, at a glance, doesn't seem to have much to do with her. But if you think about it, it's not necessarily.
There is no need for Rong Chenghan to remind her, when Liu Ruoxi heard the news that Rong Chengyi was going to die, she knew that she had to be very careful. Rong Chenghan's words let her know that what she was thinking was not bad. Moreover, things may be more complicated and dangerous than she imagined.
To stabilize yourself, you must first stabilize yourself. Liu Ruoxi secretly clenched her fists, at this time, she couldn't make a mistake by half a step. Because if she is wrong in the slightest, it will not only affect herself, but I am afraid it will also bring unexpected consequences to Rong Chenghan and Little Piggy.
Little piggy, thinking of the little pig, Liu Ruoxi's eyes couldn't help but widen. Rong Chenghan also specially instructed her to take good care of the little pig.
Yes, she has to protect not only herself, but also the little piglet.
Liu Ruoxi was busy and told Mama Chang to see how the little pig was doing. Mama Chang soon returned, followed by the nurse holding the little piglet.
"Mother......" The little pig rubbed her eyes, and as soon as she entered the door and saw Liu Ruoxi, she opened her little hand and called.
"Why did you wake up? Woken up from outside? Liu Ruoxi's heart trembled slightly, and she hurriedly took the little pig and hugged it tightly in her arms, and asked distressedly. Originally, at this hour, the little pig should have slept very deeply.
"Mrs. Hui, there was a lot of movement outside, and Xiao Shizi woke up." The nurse sued Liu Ruoxi that she coaxed the little pig for a long time but didn't coax it. The little pig clamored for his father and mother/parent. Before Mama Chang went to see the little piglet, the nurse was in trouble, whether to bring the little pig to see Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi knew that the nurse was afraid that she would blame. The little pig woke up in the middle of the night and was frightened, and she was also responsible as a nurse.
"Good little pig, don't be afraid, my mother is here." Liu Ruoxi lowered her head and kissed the top of the little pig's head, while gently patting the little pig's back to comfort her.
"Mother......" The little pig raised her head and looked at Liu Ruoxi with a pair of big eyes, as if she was asking what was going on just now.
"Yes......" Liu Ruoxi was trying to make up something so that the little pig would no longer be afraid. But after thinking about it, Liu Ruoxi still decided to tell the truth to Little Piggy. Of course, it won't be that complicated. "Grandfather is sick, just now there was news, the uncle is sick again, and the big guy is busy calling the doctor."
"Oh......" The little pig lowered her head, lay in Liu Ruoxi's arms, and leaned her head on Liu Ruoxi's chest. He was too young to understand something too complicated. But because of the old prince's illness, he probably understands that if someone is sick, it is a big deal, but it is not a terrible thing.
For Rong Chengyi, Xiao Zhu'er obviously doesn't miss the old prince as much. was slapped by Liu Ruoxi for a while, and the little pig lay in Liu Ruoxi's arms and snored again.
Seeing that the little pig was asleep, Liu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've got to go check it out." Liu Ruoxi said softly.
Something so big happened, she couldn't help but show up. Moreover, she was eager to know how Rong Chengyi was doing now and how things had gotten.
Although I can't let go of the little piglet, I can't take the little pig out at this time. Liu Ruoxi can only entrust the little pig to Mama Chang and the nurse.
“…… I'm worried that someone will be bad for the little piglet. Liu Ruoxi lowered her voice and said to the nurse.
Liu Ruoxi's worries, in the current situation, seem to be a bit unfounded. This kind of worry, Liu Ruoxi can't say it to others, but for Mama Chang, Liu Ruoxi doesn't have this kind of scruples.
"Madame, don't worry, the old slave will fight for his life, and he will also protect the little son." Mama Chang said immediately.
"You don't have to work hard, but you have to be careful about everything. If it weren't for me and Master Hou coming in person, no one would be able to approach Little Piggy. Liu Ruoxi instructed Mama Chang, "If there is anything, there will naturally be me and Master Hou in the future." ”
"Give it to the old slave." Mama Chang understood and nodded in response.
After arranging a qiē in Yunshuiju, Liu Ruoxi put on a big hat and took the girls and women out of Yunshuiju.
The palace is now brightly lit. Liu Ruoxi came out of Yunshuiju and met Lloyd's head-on. Lloy's steps were hurried, and his face was a little flustered, looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she was looking for Liu Ruoxi.
"Third lady, I was looking for you......"
Liu Ruoxi hurriedly asked Lloyd's Register.
Lloy's told Liu Ruoxi, and now everyone is in Rongyuan Hall.
"The old prince is ...... by his side"
"The second master is guarding in the old prince's house, and there is a imperial doctor."
As for the other people and the imperial doctor, they all went to Rongyuan Hall to treat Rong Chengyi.
"Let's talk as we go." Liu Ruoxi and Lloyd's walked side by side to Rongyuan Hall, and while walking, Liu Ruoxi asked Lloy's about the situation in Rongyuantang.
Listening to Lloyd's narration, Liu Ruoxi's heart tightened more and more.
“…… I'm so panicked, I've experienced a lot of things over the years, but I've never been like this. I always feel that something big is going to happen. Loweh whispered to Liu Ruoxi. Lloyd's said this, that is a bigger thing than the death of the old prince.
Liu Ruoxi nodded, thinking about it in her heart.
This time when they arrived at Rongyuan Hall, it was the first time that they did not report to the inside, so Liu Ruoxi and Lloy walked in.
"The princess and the marquis are both inside......" At the door of the upper room, the daughter-in-law in charge opened the curtain for Liu Ruoxi.
As soon as Liu Ruoxi entered the door, she saw the imperial doctor walking out of the back room with his hands down. Seeing the look of the imperial doctor, Liu Ruoxi's heart tightened again.
"Oh my God......" Liu Ruoxi was about to talk to the imperial doctor when she heard a wail from the Su family. Liu Ruoxi hurriedly turned her head to look over.
Su Shi seemed to be unable to support his legs, and completely relied on Su Qingnuan and the little girl's support, but while crying, he stumbled towards the back room.
When the imperial doctor came out like this, everyone understood that it showed that Rong Chengyi was hopeless. (To be continued......)
