Chapter 164: Rumors

In the clouds, Xu Youshan looked at Liu's mother apologetically, but Liu's mother ignored her, and just silently placed the porridge and side dishes in the food box on the small table on the kang. And looking at Mother Liu like this, Xu Youshan said with a wry smile again: "Mother Liu, don't be angry, I said it all, I really didn't mean it." ”

Liu's mother ignored Xu Youshan.

"Mother Liu." Xu Youshan looked helplessly at Liu's mother, who didn't say a word, and then suddenly covered her stomach and screamed: "Alas! Mother Liu was startled, and immediately ran to Xu Youshan's side, helped her and asked, "Princess, what's wrong, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Yes, it's distressing." Xu Youshan squeezed her eyebrows and said to Liu's mother.

Looking at Xu Youshan like this, Mother Liu couldn't hold back for a while, and finally laughed, and then said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, you are not allowed to do this next time." ”

"Yes, yes, Mother Liu, I won't do this next time, don't be angry." Xu Youshan was in a good mood when she saw that Liu's mother finally smiled, but at this moment, there were many greetings outside the door, Xie Jing is here? Xu Youshan was a little surprised, according to her speculation, Xie Jing should be discussing things with his subordinates who are ostensibly in charge, but in fact they are strategists, how can they come over now?

No matter how surprised Xu Youshan was, she still asked Mother Liu to help her get up with some difficulty, ready to go outside to greet Xie Jing, but she had just gotten off the kang and took two steps, but Xie Jing had already come in, and after seeing her come out, she stepped forward with a long frown. Suddenly, he picked her up and walked back towards the big kang.

And Xu Youshan was still seeing Xie Jing come in, and the indifferent aura was strange. was suddenly picked up by Xie Jing, this suddenly, it came so fast that she froze immediately, and it took a while to come back to her senses, but when she reacted, she found that she was still in Xie Jing's arms. was not put down by him, and if this was because she had been hugging his good-looking neck, she didn't have the face to ask. Therefore, she just silently blushed and withdrew her hand.

But before Xu Youshan felt that she was too embarrassed, she raised her eyes, and the blush on her face slowly disappeared, and she immediately turned back to Wu Lin and Liu's mother and ordered, "You all go down." ”

"Yes. Princess. Wu Lin and Liu's mother breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed and retreated. And after they withdrew from the outside of the room, Mother Liu asked Wu Lin with some worry: "Mother Wu, the princess will stay inside, there will be nothing wrong." ”

"No, it won't." Wu Lin shook his head and said, "Mother Liu, you should also see that the prince is different from the princess now. ”

"Hmm." Liu's mother replied softly.

And that's the case, just now under Xie Jing's piercing chill, she and Mother Wu couldn't stand it. But the princess turned a blind eye, and only later realized that something was wrong with the prince. Although some of them are the princess's nerves, it is indispensable that the princess is special to the princess, otherwise no matter how nervous the princess is, it is impossible to withstand the cold.

Wu Lin and Liu's mother stood outside the house and sighed, but in the house at this time, Xu Youshan raised her eyes to look at Xie Jing, but Xie Jing didn't look at her, just gently held her in her arms, but her beautiful and narrow eyes were staring in the direction of the window, looking far, far away.

And Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing like this, and didn't say much, just looked at him quietly, and her weak body leaned into his arms, but as time passed, Xu Youshan's still weak body couldn't hold on, so she found the most comfortable position, covered the thin jacket on her body, and observed Xie Jing for a while, and found that he seemed to be thinking about something, so she boldly pulled over the hand he held her and clenched it, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The winter wind was cold, the moon screen window lattice was wide open, and the wind was blowing in, but Xie Jing didn't feel cold, but after the wind became louder, he blinked his long eyelashes and looked down at Xu Youshan in his arms, but at this look, his red lips suddenly rose.

"You slept so well." Xie Jing's eyes moved to his hand that was clenched by Xu Youshan, his voice was shallow, as if he was afraid of waking up the person in his arms, but the wind continued to get louder, Xie Jing was silent for a while, and he was going to put down Xu Youshan to close the window, but he just got up, and just when he wanted to put her on the kang, she immediately frowned and muttered a few times, then immediately let go of Xie Jing's hand and hugged his neck tightly.

Xie Jing's red lips smiled, and as soon as his long fingers were forced, he tightened the person in his arms again, and simply hugged her to close the window, and then sat back on the kang and looked down at Xu Youshan deeply.

After a long, long time, until Xu Youshan's throat and eyes were dry, she finally said goodbye to Zhou Gong in tears, opened her eyes in a daze, and wanted Chu Dai to pour her a glass of water, but she was stunned by the scene in front of her for a while, and then she realized what was going on, daring Xie Jing to hold her all the time, and she slept in his arms like this? Xu Youshan's face was slightly red and she began to raise her eyes to look at Xie Jing, but Xie Jing was sitting on the kang with her in her arms at this time, and his back was leaning on the pillow behind him, which was relatively effortless, and Xie Jing could also read a book while holding Xu Youshan.

However, Xie Jing is not reading now, but looks up at the long and deep night sky outside the window, in that endless night, Xie Jing's slender beautiful eyes are faintly looking, as if he has passed through the void, looking at a place thousands of miles away, looking so attentively, Xu Youshan is embarrassed to bother him.

"Awake?"

But just when Xu Youshan was still hesitating whether to bother Xie Jing, Xie Jing's voice suddenly sounded, Xu Youshan was startled, and when she looked up again, she found that he was still looking at the night sky outside the window, but she couldn't hear the cold voice just now, so Xu Youshan replied in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

"Can't sleep?" After Xu Youshan hummed, Xie Jing's eyes finally moved back from the night sky, and he looked down at Xu Youshan in his arms, and Xu Youshan was looked away by Xie Jing, and then touched his nose. I wondered if I should tell him that she was actually thirsty. Let him trouble and ask Chu Dai and them to bring tea in.

But just when Xu Youshan was struggling in her heart, Xie Jing looked at her little appearance and suddenly chuckled: "Thirsty? ”

Xu Youshan was stunned and nodded blankly: "Well, I'm thirsty." ”

Xie Jing looked down at Xu Youshan's little face getting redder and redder, waiting until under his gaze. When Xu Youshan's cheeks finally turned red as if they were about to drip blood, Xie Jing moved, and he took Xu Youshan, who was soft in his arms, to the side and sat down. Then he got up and got off the kang, walked to the table not far away, poured a cup of tea that was still warm and handed it to her.

Xu Youshan held the hot tea in her hand and gently sipped it one bite at a time. The big eyes also had to quietly glance at Xie Jing on the side from time to time. But Xie Jing ignored her, but after covering her with a brocade quilt with red multicolored sleeves and flowers, he sat on the edge of the kang again, raised his eyes to look at the night outside the window, and there was no expression on his face, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking now.

But at this time, Xu Youshan, to be honest, was not too curious about what he was thinking. Right now, as long as he can be here. She thinks it's good, at least when she feels hard to lift a finger now, let her be more sloppy and spineless, so that she can only do what she wants to do now, and look at the people she wants to see, Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing's side face, nymphomaniac.

"The person I installed in the palace came out with news today, saying that my father has intended to make Xie Wen the crown prince."

At this time, the big moon screen window on the side of the kang has been covered, but only a little bit of small gap is left, so that the cold winter wind can not blow in unscrupulously, but it can make the people in the house vaguely see the night outside the window.

And just when Xie Jing's eyes faintly looked at the night sky through the little gap in the open window of the moon, a light and light sentence sounded in Xu Youshan's ears like thunder on the ground, making her not care about looking at him nymphomaniac, but with a shocked face, she opened her mouth slightly and wanted to ask Xie Jing why, but she opened her mouth, and finally closed it again, and after repeating it for a while, Xu Youshan finally said a sentence: "Oh." ”

Xu Youshan replied lightly, but she actually had a lot of questions to ask Xie Jing now, but in the end, there was only one "oh" that could be said, no wonder Xie Jing and Wenge were so abnormal this morning, it turned out that this happened.

And Jiang Chunjin's people have infiltrated the palace, which Xu Youshan has known for a long time, so he is not surprised, but what kind of penetration has it reached, how can he even hear that Emperor Zhou Hui has the intention to make Xie Wen the crown prince, this is also a little too deep, right? Xu Youshan sat up straight with the quilt in her arms, looking at Xie Jing's side face and not knowing what to say in order to make him happy.

After thinking about it, thinking about it, Xu Youshan still didn't know what she should say at this time, so that she had the ability to make Xie Jing happier. Xu Youshan was distressed, but Xie Jing still looked out indifferently, too leisurely and calm, making people wonder if the scary thing he just said was a joke. It's just that the night wind is cold, and Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing's eyes, but those worries were even more worried.

Xie Jing stopped talking, Xu Youshan didn't know what to say, so the room was quiet for a while, and the darkness was like a lurking giant beast, devouring them when people were most helpless, so that in people's world, there was no longer light, only boundless darkness as a companion.

"Xu Youshan, do you think it's funny?"

"Ah~" Xu Youshan opened her mouth in amazement, not reacting at all, but Xie Jing suddenly chuckled.

"After planning for so many years, in the end, I realized that the stupidest person was myself." Xie Jing looked back, looked at Xu Youshan, and said word by word, the desolation and depression in the words made Xu Youshan shocked, when did she see Xie Jing like this, no matter when, he was confident, as if everything was under his control, when had she seen such a depressed Xie Jing? Xu Youshan's heart was like someone suddenly hit her hard with a hammer, and she was almost unable to breathe in pain.

"It's not funny, it's not funny at all, who dares to say it's funny, then he's really stupid." Xu Youshan said loudly.

Xie Jing was a little dumbfounded, he looked at the little figure who suddenly ran over and hugged him, although because of his weak body, the hand holding him was soft, and he had no strength at all, but her leaning on his same soft body, it was very warm at this time.

"Heh......" Xie Jing's red lips curled suddenly. Raising his hand and hugging the person in his arms tightly, when there was no distance between them, he whispered in her ear, "Xu Youshan." You came here by yourself, so you won't be qualified to tell me and let me go. Do you understand? ”

Xu Youshan was now bent on comforting Xie Jing, and his voice was also very low, so she didn't hear what he was saying at all, but after Xie Jing finished speaking. Xu Youshan still nodded heavily, and said that she knew, what it was now. As long as Xie Jing can no longer exude such a lonely and desolate feeling, then whatever he says is good, so Xu Youshan can just nod.

And after Xie Jing saw Xu Youshan nodding stupidly, there was a smile in his eyes. It's a pity that Xu Youshan is in his arms. didn't see this scene, otherwise she wouldn't have thought Xie Jing was so sad. And this night, in this way, the two of them embraced, the cold wind outside the window howled, but in such a cold wind, the plum blossoms in the courtyard of Bowei Houyun still bloomed a piece of purple and red.

……

……

When today's son Emperor Zhou Hui is old, he has not yet established a prince. Although there are many sons under his knees, the only legitimate heir is Xie Jing, the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the heir and the eldest son. But Emperor Zhou Hui was born to dislike him, I heard that since the birth of the emperor's eldest son Xie Jing, Emperor Zhou Hui did not like him, not to mention that soon after, Empress Yuan Houzhen passed away, and Emperor Zhou Hui was more and more negligent about the emperor's eldest son.

At the same time, the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen are the only ones who are the most suitable to be appointed as the prince of the East Palace.

But in the past few years, several major events have happened, especially when Qi Hong of the Qi family of the Beiding Royal Mansion married the lord of Shuoyun County, after the incident that happened in the apse of the Ronghua Palace, the second prince Xie Yan was even more disgusted by Emperor Zhou Hui, and also indirectly sent the third prince Xie Wen to the position of the East Palace into a big step.

It also led to the phenomenon that the current third prince Xie Wen was favored in front of Emperor Zhou Hui, and also made the forces in the court faintly biased towards Xie Wen and Concubine Xian, but this is only faint, because although Xie Yan has married Princess Dongji, he has no hope of the supreme position of the Great Zhou, but Xie Jing, the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the heir and occupies the longest, is somewhat unbreakable in front of Xie Wen at this time, which has become the biggest obstacle for him to enter the East Palace.

The Xie family of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, although there is no ancestral system to say, except for the eldest son, the rest of the heirs cannot succeed to the throne, but since the founding of Gaozu, except for the previous king, who did not have the eldest son, or the eldest son died unexpectedly, all of them were succeeded by the eldest son of the emperor who occupied the throne and occupied the eldest son, without exception.

Among them, even if there are several emperors who are just ordinary princes before they ascend the throne, but in the battle for succession, they are all ultimately victorious, and then after the emperor's eldest son died "accidentally", he was justifiably crowned as a great treasure. Then now Xie Jing is still alive and well, then Xie Jing wants to enter the East Palace at this time and become the prince, it is simply a fool's dream, not to mention that it is impossible for the cabinet ministers to agree, just say that Emperor Zhou Hui himself, it is impossible to do this kind of thing that will leave a stink for thousands of years.

The person who has become the king of a country cares most about the name behind him and the most about the eternal life.

Therefore, even if Emperor Zhou Hui shows that he likes Xie Wen no matter how much he likes, it is impossible for him to open his mouth to make Xie Wen the prince, so the question arises, Emperor Zhou Hui wants to make Xie Wen the prince, so what about Xie Jing, the only legal heir of the Great Zhou? Even if Xie Jing is a prince who is no longer favored and weak, but he is the heir and the longest, this is a very majestic mountain in front of Xie Wen's East Palace Road.

In the past, before Xie Yan was disgusted by Emperor Zhou Hui, he and Xie Wen had the same position, and the two of them were exactly the same and always wanted Xie Jing to die "accidentally", the ambushes and assassinations were countless, but no matter how frequent and turbulent these secret attacks were, in the final analysis, this can only be regarded as a private matter between the three of them, and it cannot be put on the table.

But what if these things were approved by Emperor Zhou Hui, what if these things were approved by Emperor Zhou Hui?

"Oh my God...... Oh my God, it's crazy, how can there be such a father! ”

Chu Wangfu, in the clouds after Bo Wei, Xu Youshan held her head and suddenly shouted angrily, so frightened that Chu Dai and Yue Dai on the kang next to her almost inserted the embroidery needle in their hands into their hands. In the face of Xu Youshan's abrupt behavior, Chu Dai and the others just glanced at each other helplessly, then lowered their heads and embroidered the purse in their hands again, ignoring Xu Youshan, because they knew that Xu Youshan would continue, continue, continue to shout like this, after all, they have been listening to it for several days.

"What are you shouting about?"

But Chu Dai and Yue Dai are no longer strange, but someone was frightened, and he roared at Xu Youshan even more.

"No, eldest sister, you say, how can there be such a father, don't like your own child, forget it, and actually agree to your other child to assassinate this child, what kind of person is this? I don't understand it at all. ”

The person who yelled at Xu Youshan was obviously Xu Yourong, and she was able to come to the Chu Palace, of course, because Xu Youshan fainted, and after Xie Jing's will, this matter was also spread, and for a while, people were rumoring that Xu Youshan was pregnant, although it aroused a lot of reactions, but later there was another news from the Tai Hospital, saying that the Chu Wangfu was not pregnant, but just fainted due to excessive pressure.

Then why did Princess Chu faint? This is another problem, but when people put the two news together, they all know the answer, it seems that the princess of Chu is eager to ask for a son, which caused the pressure to be too great, so that she fainted. But the biological mother of King Xie Jing of Chu is Queen Zhen, and Queen Zhen has been dead for many years, so who will put so much pressure on Princess Chu? The self-evident answer is, of course, to point to the Queen Mother.

So this message spread all over the streets and alleys for a while, and under the spread of well-intentioned people, it was quite a boiling scene, but Xu Youshan didn't know about it, she was ordered to recuperate in bed in the past two days, although Xu Youshan protested many times, but every time it was refuted under Xie Jing's faint eyes, which made Xu Youshan really speechless.

But Xu Youshan is not boring, anyway, she is indeed a little weak, at most, she started to shout tired after walking two laps in the courtyard of Bowei Houyun, so Xu Youshan can still endure this boring time of recuperation, and the thing she cares about most recently is not this, but what Xie Jing told her that night that Emperor Zhou Hui had intended to make Xie Wen the prince, after all, this is related to Xie Jing's safety.

Although Xie Jing told Xu Youshan that he had a countermeasure for this, so that she didn't have to worry, how could she not worry? Even if she didn't show any worry on the surface in order to reassure Xie Jing, in fact, she was very worried.

And this morning, when Xu Youshan was thinking about this matter by herself, Xu Yourong actually came, which really surprised Xu Youshan. What surprised Xu Yourong was how could he come, the Xu family and the Chu Wangfu should not get too close; Happily, she also misses Xu Yourong and them.

But when Xu Youshan was happily waiting for Xu Yourong to arrive, as soon as Xu Yourong saw Xu Youshan, she frowned and reprimanded her, saying that how could she take good care of herself, and she could actually starve herself unconscious, saying that Xu Youshan is really very capable, and she can not cherish herself to such a point...... A large number of crackling precepts were thrown on Xu Youshan's body, which made Xu Youshan smile bitterly and hurriedly admit her mistake first.

And after Xu Yourong saw that Xu Youshan's attitude of admitting her mistake was not bad, she finally let Xu Youshan go, and Xu Youshan had the opportunity to ask Xu Yourong how he could come to the Chu Palace.

After Xu Youshan asked, Xu Yourong first glanced at her strangely, and then told her the rumors about her that were now circulating in the city, Xu Youshan was shocked and hurriedly clarified with Xu Yourong, wanting her to hurry back and tell Pei that there was no such thing at all, and asked Pei not to worry about her, but Xu Yourong smiled.

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent someone to greet your grandfather long before the rumors that you were eager to ask for a son and were under too much pressure came out." (To be continued.) )
