002 Cold mother and filial son
Thanks to the ninth prince's optimism and sensibility, he never wanted to make Niangniang angry, and after discovering that Niangniang had lung disease, he worked hard to learn pharmacology and help Niangniang regulate her body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just that the ninth prince has been running out every day recently, and he often comes back dirty, and the core concubine Niangniang is naturally unhappy, and now she has been arrested by the mother, and I don't know how to punish the ninth prince.
went to the palace of Concubine Xin, and inevitably scolded. The ninth prince simply carried the thorn strip on his back and went all the way to the palace of the concubine. Xiao Zi was waiting outside the door, and when she saw him coming, she took him in.
Concubine Xin is about thirty years old, her face is sallow, she looks pale and bloodless after puffing on the powder, and she is lying on the couch weakly, with an indissolvable sorrow between her eyebrows.
"Mother, the son-in-law has received the punishment." She half-knelt on the carpet and hung her head.
Concubine Xin didn't speak, and raised her hand to let Xiao Zi go out first.
Xiao Zi glanced at the ninth prince worriedly, and then went out and waited.
"Went out to look for herbs again?" She asked softly.
"Yes, this is the last herb, Erchen will definitely be able to cure your illness this time."
"What's the matter, I don't have many days to live anyway." She coughed softly, her eyes blank, "I said a long time ago, you are not my son, you don't need to be so filial to me!" Don't think that if you cook medicine every day, I will be grateful to you! She didn't know that he secretly went out of the palace every day just to find herbs for himself to continue his life, but she didn't value her own life, and it was really difficult for others to worry about this child who had never been close.
"Erchen knows. In this way, after taking the medicine this time, Erchen will leave. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Xin looked stunned, she kept persuading him to leave, but when he really said it, there was a faint pain in his heart.
"But you, for what reason?" She noticed that her voice was still shaking.
"Let's just say that I went out to collect medicine and fell to my death! If he can attract the attention of his father because of this, knowing that the mother concubine does not even have a person to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, the life of the mother concubine will definitely be more comfortable. ”
At this moment, he still thinks about her, for fear that she will not have a good time. Concubine Xin's empty eyes were a little more moist, and she looked at the half-kneeling child intently, her waist was always straight, her eyebrows were clear, but she was heroic, but her heart hurt more and more, and tears fell like this.
"Jiu'er, the concubine can't stand you." What a good child he should have been, even if he lost her only child because of him, then he was innocent, she always knew that she couldn't treat a child like this, but after so many years, she just couldn't pull her face to apologize. She also knew that this child was arrogant and talented, but when she thought of her own child, she couldn't help but speak ill of him.
Back then, Concubine Xin had just given birth to a big fat boy, and before she knew his little face, a masked man dressed in black snatched her son away and left the current ninth prince: "Raise him as your son, otherwise take care of your own child's life!" ”
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and she is worried about finding her son, and her lung disease is getting worse and worse. For the child who robbed her son's place, of course she didn't have a good face! And because her son's life may still be in his hands, she has to raise this child.
Ten years, no matter how much she hates, she can't all hate a child who gets along day and night, besides, this child is very sensible and smart, and the more he treats herself, the more she can't help it.
"The mother concubine is wrong, how can there be any reason for the mother concubine to do something wrong, all the mistakes are the fault of the sons. Mother, let's go boil the medicine first, it's not good to miss the hour. He had always been afraid to see his mother's tears, and felt that this was a sign that he was not strong enough. Tears are hard to come by for him.
He got up and quickened his steps away from her line of sight. A prince who lives in the Golden Palace, no one lives more miserably than him! Due to Concubine Xin's fall from grace, even a palace maid in the palace can speak ill of him, punch and kick him, but this concubine is not as good to herself as all the concubines in the world, she will only throw him to the palace maid and the nurse, and will scold him for being cowardly and incompetent. He grew up scarred, and then he learned to fight back, killing all those who opposed him, and openly and secretly, he had already killed a lot of people.
When he was five years old, he was bullied by his brothers and sisters and thrown into the streets to become a beggar, and he happened to meet the beggar master, who saved his life, so he said that he wanted to worship him as a teacher. He didn't think too much about it at first, he just hoped that he would become strong and stop being bullied, and he studied hard with the old man. It was at that time that he realized that his muscles and veins had been sealed. The old man couldn't teach him to practice spiritual powers, so he taught him many deadly martial arts, and then began to try his hand at petty theft, and even began to help him murder people to get money!
Although he has been bullied since he was a child, he also has the pride of the royal family, and he knows that it is not good to kill and steal, so he wants to withdraw, leave the Golden Palace, and find the life he wants.
Now the remaining Xiao Zi in the hall has treated him well since he was a child, and Concubine Xin, although she doesn't have too many feelings, but after all, she has the grace of raising, and he knows that grievances must be clear, so he must repay this kindness! Therefore, he only hoped to cure Concubine Xin's lung disease, so that he left without half regrets.
The yard was full of his medicinal herbs, and there were also his dispensing tools on the chairs. He held the stone pestle in his small hand, and slammed it into the stone bowl quickly, and every ten times, he picked up the chopped herbs next to him and put them into the stone bowl, and then pounded the medicine quickly. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his face looked a little nervous, and his eyes were shining with water.
Suddenly, there was some noise in the grass, and a lovely head stuck out, and its furry paws scratched, and its big eyes rolled to look at him.
"Shhh Brother Seven didn't come? ”
This little Gollum is his seventh brother's little pet, and if it comes, it means that the seventh brother will come over later. Although Little Gollum is human, she can't speak, and her big eyes are particularly pitiful.
A burst of laughter came from outside the courtyard.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that the person who came over so quickly couldn't be Seventh Brother! He immediately pushed Xiao Gollum into the grass, glanced left and right quickly, and saw the girl Xiaozi walking out of the small broken house in a hurry, and beckoned to him from a distance, telling him to hide quickly. He put away the tools for pounding medicine, listened carefully to the direction of the sound, and then picked up the stone bowl and pestle, and ran quickly to the corridor of the side door to the backyard bushes, and his small body disappeared into the flowers and plants of the dark forest.
Xiao Zi hurriedly ran to the gate of the front yard to say goodbye.
The people who came were a very young man and woman, eighteen or nineteen years old, but their faces were cold and vicious. The two of them seemed to have just ridden a horse, dressed in riding clothes, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, and the girl was still holding a horse whip in her hand, she threw a whip directly to the little girl, and saw that there was a blood mark on the girl's body immediately, so she sighed happily, "Xiaozi, what about your concubine and the ninth prince?" Why didn't you come out to meet us? ”
Xiao Zi endured the pain and knelt down, "Back to the second princess and the third prince, Concubine Xin's serious illness is not yet well, and she can't get up to greet her, the ninth prince is worried about Concubine Xin's condition, so he went out to find medicine, and he hasn't returned yet." Xiao Zi's voice trembled a little, and she spoke fairly smoothly, but her head almost hung down to her chest.
Hearing this, both men and women burst out laughing. The woman said, "Third brother, have you heard, our ninth brother is looking for medicine to cure the disease again, how many years has it been?" Haha, the ninth brother was born with a waste material, and the only thing that can keep him busy is herbs. ”
The third prince also mocked, "It's a pity, Aunt Xin's condition is getting worse and worse, and the medicine that the ninth brother found doesn't work!" He gave a look to the eldest princess, who nodded and shook the whip in his hand, which shocked Xiao Zi, who was already scared.
