==Chapter 107==

Not many people know about Jiu Niang's injury.

In addition to the Chu Wangfu and the Anguo Mansion, there is only Dali Temple.

Because Jiuniang's injuries were too severe, she was not suitable to move, so she stayed in the palace of the king of Chu. In this regard, the Xiao family did not make any doubts, and the Duchess of Anguo ordered the Cui family to take someone to visit Xiao Jiuniang, but unfortunately they didn't even enter the gate of the Chu Palace. The county lord of Chaoxia was shocked when he knew that Xiao Jiuniang was not dead, but appeared in the Chu Palace, and the news naturally spread to the princess's mansion.

For a while, Princess Changping and the mother and daughter of Chaoxia County were both a little panicked.

None of the people sent out by Princess Changping to ambush Jiuniang have come back, don't think about it, they must have been arrested by the people of the Chu Palace, how Xiao Jiuniang escaped the pursuit, they don't know, and even whether those dead soldiers are dead or alive, no one knows. Because of the unknown, I am afraid, especially on the side of the Chu Wangfu, which is unusually calm.

They didn't know that the King of Chu had already made a move in private, but because of Emperor Chengyuan's orders, Dali Temple had been secretly investigating and had not publicized it.

After a few more days, Princess Changping slowly relaxed her heart, at least not as shocked as she was that day.

Just as she thought before, let's not mention whether the King of Chu can find out the identities of those dead soldiers, even if she knows that she did it, she doesn't believe that he can still match up with her aunt for a little girl.

At the same time, Princess Changping was still a little uneasy in her heart, Xiao Jiuniang had an accident, and the King of Chu immediately knew about it, even earlier than the Anguo Mansion here, and put her in her own mansion to recuperate. What this means, Princess Changping understands very well in her heart, but she still doesn't think that King Chu will confront her because of this.

Anyway, on the surface, Jiu Niang was ambushed and killed on the street, just like the heavy rain that day, after it fell, there was no trace, and it did not cause any waves.

But, who knows?

*

Jiuniang fell asleep deeply, and when she woke up again, she was greeted by the warm candlelight in the room.

There was a person lying next to him, almost Jiuniang had just woken up, and the other party had also woken up, it was the king of Chu.

Jiu Niang was a little confused, she couldn't figure out how long she had been asleep, why when she woke up before, King Chu was asleep next to her, and King Chu was still asleep next to her at this time.

She didn't know that she had been in a coma for many days, and the King of Chu had been staying in this room, trying not to go out if she could, and even moved here for official business. Especially Jiu Niang couldn't swallow the decoction before, and the King of Chu found a way to solve it by himself, and then Jiu Niang's condition eased down and he was able to swallow the decoction by himself, but he still ignored it and used his own methods. The subordinates around him naturally didn't dare to question, who made him the master?

Therefore, in the past few days, the king of Chu has been walking, sitting and lying in this room, and when it is time to rest, he naturally sleeps together.

After waking up before, Jiu Niang slept for a whole day, during which Imperial Doctor Liu also came to see and said that this was normal. Jiu Niang was drenched in the rain and cold, and suffered such a serious knife wound, it is normal to fall asleep during the recuperation period, especially in the decoction taken by Jiu Niang on weekdays, it also has the effect of sleeping.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

The king of Chu ignored her, glanced at her pale little face, and then rang the bell and called his subordinates to serve him and get up. Jiu Niang was a little embarrassed in her heart, in the end, her life was saved by the King of Chu, especially if it hadn't been for Da Kui and Xiao Cui before, she would have died a long time ago, and it was not good to condemn King Chu for some excessive behavior.

Especially Jiu Niang is now somewhat accustomed to the temperament of King Chu, he seems to never be stingy to be close to her, and after many times, Jiu Niang is also used to it, but this sleeping together somewhat challenges her nerves.

The king of Chu put on his clothes and went to sit in a wheelchair on the side, and several maidservants walked in with all kinds of things.

First helped Jiuniang to sit up from the couch, and put a soft pillow behind her, and then served her to rinse her mouth and clean her face.

Seeing the two, Jiu Niang was a little surprised, and after asking, she learned that it was the Anguo Mansion that sent the two of them, saying that Jiu Niang was recuperating from her injuries in the Chu Palace, and it was good to have two powerful personal maids serving by her side.

rinsed her mouth and cleaned her face, Jiuniang felt much more comfortable at this time, she hadn't washed for many days, and her body was extremely uncomfortable. I didn't feel it in a daze before, but now I feel a little refreshed, and I feel uncomfortable, after all, it's summer.

If it weren't for the injuries on her body and she had just woken up, Jiu Niang would have been eager to take a bath, but she also knew that it was impossible. She cherished her life, she didn't feel good when she was sick, especially when she burned dizzily in those days, although she couldn't wake up, she felt it more or less.

The king of Chu sat aside, and these maidservants were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out, they all lowered their heads and moved lightly. Lian Fang helped Jiu Niang comb her hair and tie it up in a bunch behind her, and asked her if she wanted to eat something.

There is no doubt about it, Jiu Niang has been sleeping for many days, and has been relying on some soup to survive, and she already feels hungry when she wakes up this time. Before Jiu Niang could propose what she wanted to eat, a maid came up with a tray and a bowl of shredded chicken porridge on the tray.

Lian Fang has served Jiuniang for so long, so she naturally understands her mother's thoughts, so she said: "The lady can only eat some light food now, this porridge is boiled with chicken soup, but all the oil in it is skimmed." ”

The fragrant and soft shredded chicken porridge was fragrant and fragrant, and it was very delicious, Jiu Niang ate half a bowl in a row before stopping, and then she noticed the King of Chu who had not made a sound on the side, and asked politely: "Cousin, do you want to eat some too?" ”

The king of Chu was still thinking about it, and Chang Shun had already gone down to arrange it.

After a short time, Chang Shun led two small chamberlains in, first set up a table in front of the king of Chu, and then set up a meal on the table.

King Chu's food is much richer than Jiuniang's, in addition to a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, there are also a few side dishes, and a plate of sesame rolls and a plate of shrimp dumplings.

Others don't know that Chang Shun knows that in the past few days when Jiu Niangzi has been in a coma, His Royal Highness's food has not been fragrant, and Jiu Niangzi has woken up at this time, but he doesn't want His Highness to eat more.

Jiuniang looked at the small half bowl of shredded chicken porridge left in Lianfang's hand, and then looked at the food in front of King Chu, her eyes were a little jealous, and she suddenly felt that the shredded chicken porridge that was still delicious was not delicious.

Especially the plate of shrimp dumplings in front of King Chu, she knew that there was a whole shrimp wrapped in it, and it was filled with fine meat, which tasted tender and delicious, and the juice overflowed with a bite. She has a dull mouth at this time, and it must be very good to use.

Lianfang looked at Jiu Niang pitifully, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Lady, eat more." You can't eat those. ”

On the other side, the corners of King Chu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he suddenly felt his appetite increase greatly, he handed Chang Shun an appreciative look, picked up a shrimp dumpling with a silver chopstick, and fed it to his mouth in Jiu Niang's longing gaze.

Jiu Niang seemed to be able to hear the sound of the shrimp shell being bitten, and she also seemed to be able to smell the unique aroma, and there seemed to be a trace of oil at the corner of the mouth of the King of Chu's well-shaped mouth......

Why is she cheap!

After slandering for a while, Jiu Niang was dejected and continued to let Lian Fang feed herself porridge, she was still hungry at this time, and it was not the time for a battle of will.

After the supper, it was time for Jiu Niang to change the dressing for the wound, and Lian Fang and the others put down the curtain on the side of the bed in shock, and began to undress Jiu Niang. Jiu Niang went to look at the King of Chu vigorously, but Lian Fang noticed her eyes, but she blushed and did not squeak.

Jiuniang was helpless, so she had to open one eye and close one eye as if the king of Chu didn't have zài, anyway, there was a curtain in the way, and he couldn't see anything.

I don't know what to think of, Jiu Niang's face is also a little red, and after changing the medicine, I don't know if it's because of pain or shame, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead.

The maidservant brought hot water and cotton handkerchiefs, and Lianfang and Xiaocan worked together to wipe Jiuniang's head and face, and then wiped her body slightly. After putting on her bedclothes and lying down on her side on the couch, Jiu Niang felt a sense of tiredness surging up from the depths of her body.

The maidservants all went down, Jiu Niang quietly listened to the movement outside, and suddenly the curtain was opened, and before Jiu Niang could react, she saw the king of Chu sitting back on the couch under Chang Shun's service, looking like he was going to bed.

Belch......

Jiuniang was stunned and watched King Chu lie down beside her, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Cousin, aren't you going back to your room?" ”

"The kings of Japan have been resting here all these days." The king of Chu replied with confidence.

Jiuniang didn't know what to say, I don't know if she could push the king of Chu down? Of course, this is only limited to thinking, and even if she thinks about it, she doesn't have the strength to do so.

The light silk quilt was pulled up and covered Jiuniang from the shoulder down, in fact, the weather is hot at this time, so there is no need to cover the quilt, but Jiuniang has just recovered from a serious illness, and she can't stand the cold at this time. A warm body leaned over here, and the King of Chu reached out to pick up Jiu Niang so that she could pill on his shoulder, and by the way, he pulled her body towards himself.

This is what he has been used to in the past few days, because Jiu Niang's wound is in the right shoulder blade, and he can only lie on his side, but how can a person who is in a coma keep this posture still, so the king of Chu is used to using this lying position to help her borrow strength, so that she can lie half on herself, so as not to strain the wound.

Jiu Niang was lying on her side, half leaning on the King of Chu, her body was a little stiff, and she couldn't help but move helplessly.

"Don't move, be careful to tear the wound."

Jiuniang immediately didn't dare to move anymore.

If you stretch it for a long time, you will also get tired, especially when Jiuniang recovers from a serious illness and has injuries on her body. She struggled for a while, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, so she couldn't help but relax her body and let King Chu bear half of her weight.

That's it, anyway, the king of Chu said that he had been like this for a few days in a row, and no matter how much he cared, it would seem that she was hypocritical. However, I have to say that this position is the most suitable for her to lie down at the moment, and she will not feel tired at all.

Jiu Niang felt a little strange in her heart, the King of Chu was so considerate?

But he seems to have always been very considerate, for example, when she is drenched in the rain, someone will take the initiative to come up to ward off the cold for her, even if the people below are considerate, as the master, no one dares to move. For example, when she first entered the National Prison, he tutored her homework, for example, he blocked many things for her regardless of his own situation, and many ......

Of course, it does not refer to the previous life, but to this life, and the King of Chu in this life is completely different from the previous life.

Jiu Niang's body couldn't help but freeze again, and after a while, she sighed quietly and buried her face in the arms of King Chu.

*

With the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu, and a group of maidservants waiting carefully, Jiu Niang's spirit gradually recovered.

As for who attacked her this time, the king of Chu did not hide it from her.

Princess Changping, Jiu Niang is not surprised that it will be her, she has also thought quietly about it in the past few days. Princess Changping has always protected her shortcomings, this time the county lord of Chaoxia suffered such a big loss in her hands, how could she let her go as the culprit.

Because of the design of Xiao Liuniang, it will lead to this killing, and Jiuniang does not regret this matter. Zuo is always nowhere to retreat, he can't always be beaten and not fight back, Xiao Liuniang will have such an end, and it is also the end of Mrs. Wang and the county lord of Chaoxia who did their own crimes, and I can't complain about her.

The only thing that makes Jiu Niang feel a little tricky is that if the object is Princess Changping, it may not be so easy for her to take revenge.

Regarding the matter of wanting to take revenge, Jiu Niang did not mention it to the King of Chu, because she knew the powerful relationship. She didn't want to and didn't want to add too much trouble to King Chu, after all, she knew very well how difficult King Chu's current status was. Especially now that he has more internal and external troubles, Jiuniang has not forgotten that before the king of Chu helped him block back the fact that he was accepted as the prince's side concubine.

As everyone knows, the king of Chu has already helped her take revenge. Princess Changping is indeed difficult to move, but it is not impossible to move, the key depends on how to move.

With the investigation of Peng Xu, the secretary of Dali Temple, although there is no direct evidence to prove that the person behind those gangsters is Princess Changping, all the obscure signs point to her.

For a few days, Emperor Chengyuan's face was not very good-looking, but he had always had a cloudy temper, and no one paid too much attention to this matter.

In the case of the assassination of the prince in the paddock that year, Emperor Chengyuan ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, but it has been unsuccessful, and the other party's hands and feet are too clean to find any evidence at all. After many years, Xiao Jiuniang was also assassinated, and it was also a group of people in black, and this group of people in black also had the same marks on their bodies. Originally, in the eyes of Emperor Chengyuan, it was a trivial matter that was not worth his attention at all, but because of that mark, it immediately looked unusual.

Emperor Chengyuan knows his sister's temperament very well, and he is also restless, but he needs to maintain a balance on the surface, and if some things are harmless, he will almost turn a blind eye to it.

Only the matter of the crown prince is a reverse scale for Emperor Chengyuan. And now that this piece of reverse scale has been moved, the person who did it is still his own sister who has underestimated him.

Emperor Chengyuan vaguely remembered his anger when the prince was assassinated, and the feeling that his heart was almost bursting, if it weren't for the fifth child who blocked a blow for the prince, he and the prince would have been separated forever.

In fact, Emperor Chengyuan knew who the main messenger behind the scenes was, but the two restless sons on the left and the people behind them, but he never thought that Princess Changping would also intervene in it.

For Princess Changping, the sister of the princess, Emperor Chengyuan is not unaware of the source among several princes, but he was born with a thin kinship, his mother died early, leaving him and Changping two people, his wife was born frail, and he also died early, leaving only the prince to him.

Therefore, Emperor Chengyuan attaches great importance to family affection, the scope of this kind of family affection is only his sister's wife and son, and now that his wife has died early, there are only two people left, Princess Changping and the prince, so even if he knows that this sister has some small actions in private, he has turned a blind eye, after all, he doesn't understand his sister's thoughts, and even chose Wang Yan'er as the princess this time, it's not that he didn't think about this sister.

How did he know that Changping treated him like this, he didn't believe that Changping didn't know that the prince was the most untouchable scale he couldn't touch, but she moved, and sure enough, her unscrupulousness was all what he was used to!

Emperor Chengyuan did not have any doubts about his own ideas, he was stubborn by nature, and Peng Xu was his person. Back then, Peng Xu hosted the investigation of the assassination of the prince, and few people knew about the imprints on those dead soldiers except for him and Peng Xu. Therefore, Emperor Chengyuan determined that the crown prince was assassinated that year, and Princess Changping also intervened in it, even if she was not the mastermind, it had a lot to do with her.

If anyone else, I am afraid that what is about to be greeted is the thunderous wrath of Emperor Chengyuan.

But Princess Changping is none other than his own sister, and Emperor Chengyuan still has some thoughts about this. But he is not ready to let go of this matter, as a superior person, there are many ways to punish people, this sister-

At this time, in Emperor Chengyuan's heart, Princess Changping was no longer a sister, just like other princesses left by the first emperor.

A chamberlain walked in lightly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the princess has come to visit you." ”

In the palace, there is no one else who can make the chamberlains call them princesses except Princess Changping. Princess Changping would enter the palace every ten days and a half to contact Emperor Chengyuan and visit the crown prince. All in all, try to show your sense of existence as much as possible, so as not to show your face in front of people for many days, so that the people in the palace forget her.

This is a 'specialty' that everyone born in the palace has, otherwise Princess Changping would not have been married for so long, and she can still enter and leave the palace like her own backyard. The reason why Emperor Chengyuan treated her extra well is that the blood relationship is one, and more importantly, it is inseparable from the fact that Princess Changping can be a person.

After the dragon case, Emperor Chengyuan's face suddenly sank, and Ruan Ronghai, who was standing on the side, also had a strange complexion.

In the past, Ruan Ronghai had already spoken out to greet Emperor Chengyuan and let Princess Changping come in, but today he was exceptionally silent.

"Sue sù she's busy."

Emperor Chengyuan didn't even raise his head, and the attendants standing below were a little stunned.

Who is not a good person who serves in the palace, Princess Changping comes to see Emperor Chengyuan, and she has always found time, and there will never be a time when Emperor Chengyuan is busy. Emperor Chengyuan was actually not busy at this time, but he didn't see Princess Changping.

The chamberlain did not dare to delay, answered yes, and hurried down.

As for what he thinks in his heart, only he knows it in his own heart, but in this palace, you have to have eyes when you are a person and do things, what is a look, Emperor Chengyuan is a look. This time, if Emperor Chengyuan has always had such an attitude, presumably if Princess Changping comes to the palace in the future, the attitude of these chamberlains and palace people will change greatly.

Of course, this will take time to see, but for Princess Changping, it is not a heavy blow.

The reason why Princess Changping can stand tall and have a status that surpasses many other princesses, and even Queen Xiao has to respect her for three points, is nothing more than because she has 'power'. Even she can be in the palace, in Chang'an City, and between several princes, because she has 'power'. Her 'potential' was given to her by Emperor Chengyuan, and now Emperor Chengyuan is unwilling to give it.

If there is no 'power', she is no different from other princesses who have lost power, and can only stay in the princess's mansion honestly all day long, living on her own money and food. Occasionally, I have leisure to walk around the circle of ladies in Chang'an City, enjoying the admiration of everyone, but in fact, whether anyone takes her seriously, only God knows.

This ruthless move of the King of Chu is really a bit ruthless, putting people to death without knowing it.

Outside the Zichen Palace

Princess Changping was a little stunned when she heard the waiter's reply.

She originally planned to visit Emperor Chengyuan on the pretext of the past, and to find out his tone about the recent rumors about Chang'an City and Xiao Jiuniang. If Emperor Chengyuan doesn't care, this is the best, if there is anything abnormal, she can remedy it, but Emperor Chengyuan is too busy to see her.

However, she thought that Emperor Chengyuan was indeed very busy, so many government affairs, especially in the recent period of time, the court has not been calm, maybe she really didn't pick the right time today.

Out of caution, she looked at the face of the chamberlain who spoke to her. There was nothing unusual, and Princess Changping was relieved. I don't know if she has been worried for the past few days, and a faint sense of panic has risen in her heart.

Princess Changping smiled: "Since Her Majesty is busy, the palace will not bother, I haven't seen the queen for many days, and the palace will go to visit the queen in the Luan Palace." ”

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess."

*

Jiu Niang's injuries gradually improved, and with the wound medicine prepared by Imperial Doctor Liu, the originally deep wound slowly scabbed.

No one spoke in the Anguo Mansion, and Jiuniang was happy to continue to recuperate in the Chu Palace, and was waited for by people with good food and drink all day long, and lived a free and comfortable life.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is actually no shortage of ice in the Chu Wangfu, but the King of Chu insists on not letting his subordinates put ice in the Jiuniang house. Fortunately, there is a maid holding a fan, and Jiuniang will also choose to let people go to the big tree in the yard to take a cool breath when the weather is not too hot outside, so as to relieve the heat.

Jiuniang was half-lying on the couch, with a green shade above her head, and from time to time there were maidservants holding a fan to fan her, which was very comfortable.

The little wine lay at her feet, and this little creature was also extremely intelligent, knowing that the ground was hot, and would find a comfortable place to settle himself.

Xiao Jiu'er was sent by someone in the Anguo Mansion a few days ago, and in the days when Jiu Niang was recuperating from her injuries in the Chu Palace, the Xiao family had been constantly using Jiu Niang to save the zài feeling in the Chu Palace. At least in the past, they were turned away, but now with the opportunity to send all kinds of things to Jiu Niang, the people in the Anguo Mansion can also enter the gate of the Chu Palace.

Jiu Niang knew about this qiē, but the king of Chu didn't say anything, so she didn't care. Anyway, the only people who can come in are just a few subordinates, and as for the masters of the Xiao family, they probably can't get in, and they won't come at this time. With the last time the Cui family was turned away, presumably they were embarrassed to come to the door again, these people are more face-conscious, and they will not take the initiative to send it to the door to embarrass themselves before they test the bottom line of King Chu.

There was a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and after a while, Xiao Can came over with a calm face.

Compared with Xiao Cui, Xiao Can is much more silent, although he serves by Jiu Niang's side every day, he does not have any sense of zài. Jiu Niang also paid attention to her, this girl has an ordinary appearance, and like Xiao Cui, she can't be found in the crowd, but she acts extremely steadily.

Because of Xiaocan's taciturnity, there are too many people around Jiu Niang, so she doesn't stand out by Jiu Niang's side. With Xiao Cui following on the outside and lotus branches on the inside, Jiu Niang rarely notices her. This time, Xiao Cui fought with her life to protect Jiu Niang and escaped, so Jiu Niang looked at Xiao Can a little differently.

"What's wrong?"

Lian Fang glanced at Jiu Niang's face and pouted, "It's not those people yet." ”
