The atmosphere in the banquet instantly fell silent as Emperor Zhou Hui stopped laughing and slowly faded, and Xu Youshan's slightly lowered eyes gradually filled with a little lifeless coldness as the atmosphere around her became more and more silent.

"Concubine Qi, the heir is not in a hurry, but please rest assured, this king and the princess will work hard to give birth to the first eldest grandson for their father."

What broke the dead silence was a cold voice that Xu Youshan was all too familiar with, although it was smiling now, but the alienation and indifference in his bones, Xu Youshan could hear it clearly. And as Xie Jing opened his mouth with a gentle smile like jade, Emperor Zhou Hui's eyes also moved from Xu Youshan's body to him, especially after Xie Jing intentionally or unintentionally accentuated the words "Emperor Eldest Sun", not only the corners of Concubine Xian's eyes jumped, but even Concubine De, who had been silent on the side, suddenly moved.

"Yes, Sister Xian, you too, how can you be in a hurry to come to such a thing as an heir, besides, aren't His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Chu still young, and there is time." Concubine Shu, one of the four concubines, smiled.

And after Concubine Shu finished speaking, Emperor Zhou Hui also suddenly laughed, said yes, and then moved the topic away, and everyone's eyes at the table naturally moved away from Xu Youshan's body, but Xu Youshan's slightly lowered head from beginning to end has not changed, as if she is still shy about what Concubine Xian mentioned just now. But also from an angle that no one could see, Xu Youshan exhaled a long breath.

Luckily, fortunately!

Xu Youshan was very happy in her heart, but then she tilted her head slightly. looked at Xie Jing next to her, and at this time, Xie Jing was just smiling with Emperor Zhou Hui gently, and the light poured down from his graceful side face. A shadow cast by the backlight, forming two completely different scenes from the smile on his lips. It's just that this seemed to Xu Youshan before, it was a manifestation of Xie Jing's deep scheming, but when she looked at it now, it became a cruel forbearance.

When he didn't participate in Xie Jing's life, Xu Youshan never knew about him, nor did he care about him, the most noble eldest son of the emperor in the history of the Great Zhou. How could he be so down-and-out, and he was forced by Concubine De and Concubine Xian's mother and son to build Jiang Chunjin among the people to support him in winning the heir.

But wait until they make the covenant. The exchange of interests and the appointment of a fake marriage, after she finally married him and married into the palace of the king of Chu. She understood that Xie Jing's situation could not be described as depressed at all. He is simply ambushed on all sides, as long as he takes a wrong step, everything that awaits him will only be a catastrophe, and there is no other possibility.

And such a situation will be formed, the whole body is because of Emperor Zhou Hui's acquiescence, but why would Emperor Zhou Hui treat his only sister-in-law like this, Xu Youshan really never wanted to pass. But she knew. Xie Jing should know, otherwise he wouldn't have been aggrieved and hesitant at all. When he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager, in the year they first met, he was already goal-oriented and unstoppable.

But although Xu Youshan was so sure that Xie Jing knew the reason for this, and she knew it very clearly, but she still didn't ask him anything, because even if she was curious, she still had self-knowledge, so she didn't go to self-deprecation. But now she doesn't ask, just because if Xie Jing doesn't want to say, then she doesn't want to ask anymore.

But how much hatred does it have to be for Emperor Zhou Hui to treat Xie Jing like this? Xu Youshan thought of the one standing in the center of the harem, which had long been mottled and desolate.

……

……

Late at night, the night was as cold as water, and the clouds were so quiet that only the wind was whistling, but in the room where Su Hexiang was burning and the earth dragon was burning, Xu Youshan stood barefoot by the slightly open window, looking at the sky outside the window.

Today's family banquet in the Lin'an Palace was held very smoothly, at least in the eyes of many people, it was like that, and of course, this family banquet ended smoothly, and Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were already close to the end of the day when they came out of the palace, and most of the ten thousand households in the imperial capital had already turned off the lights and fallen asleep, but Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's carriage was surrounded by dozens of people, and drove back to the Chu Wangfu on the quiet street.

And along the way, Xie Jing was unusually quiet, and so was Xu Youshan, the two of them sat on opposite sides of the chair in the car, and after they returned to the Chu Palace, the two of them didn't talk much. And looking at the two people who were obviously wrong, Mother Liu also had a lot of doubts, but they could only keep it in their hearts.

As for Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, they still looked faint and returned to Bowei Houyun together, and then Xie Jing asked for something again, so he went to the study, and tonight he naturally rested in the study.

"Princess." And just when Xu Youshan was standing by the window, looking at the night sky outside the window and not knowing what she was thinking, her expression would be so complicated, but Chu Dai's slightly hurried call sounded outside.

Xu Youshan was surprised, so she raised her voice and said, "Chu Dai, come in, what's wrong?" ”

"Princess......" Chu Dai hesitated for a while, but finally said: "Mother Gu, who was guarding the door just now, sent someone to tell me that there was movement in the direction of the empty mountain residence just now, and Wenge also brought Mo Ru over. ”

Mo Ru, a disciple of Doctor Mo, after Xie Jing's injury stabilized and was fine, when Doctor Mo left for something, he sent Mo Ru to the palace of the King of Chu, for fear that if Xie Jing's injury changed, he would be delayed because he was not there. As for Mo Ru, although he is not as good as Doctor Mo in terms of medical skills, he is still much stronger than many doctors in the Tai Hospital.

It's just that even so, when Emperor Zhou Hui went hunting in Xunshan this time, Mo Ru still didn't have time to reach the Shendu before they set off, and the front and back feet on both sides just missed, so Mo Ru had to stay in the palace of the king of Chu and wait for Xie Jing to return. And after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan came back, thanks to Mo Ru, Xu Youshan's sick body also recovered very quickly, otherwise the illness would come like a mountain and the illness would go like a thread, how could Xu Youshan get better so quickly.

But it's so late at night now. Wen Ge still took Mo Ru to the empty mountain residence? Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly ordered Chu Dai: "Change clothes." ”

Chu Dai didn't dare to delay, and immediately changed Xu Youshan's clothes. And Xu Youshan hurriedly put on a long cloak embroidered with pale spring flowers and pear white at the end, and hurriedly walked towards the empty mountain residence.

Empty mountain dwelling

In the middle of the night, the empty mountain residence was still busy with servants back and forth at this time, but even if everyone was not idle, they didn't make much sound, if it weren't for the keen Gu Mother who noticed the faint lights on the side of the empty mountain residence before, then she wouldn't have noticed that Wen Ge had passed with Mo Ru.

It's just that Xu Youshan hurried to the back of the empty mountain residence. When the people in the empty mountain house saw her, they were all stunned for a while, especially when they heard the song, they saluted and said, "See the princess." ”

"What about the prince. Has the injury changed? And Xu Youshan frowned after seeing the expressions of the people in the empty mountain house, but she still asked Wenge Xie Jing in a deep voice first, because there was no need to say more. Only when I saw this scene of the empty mountain curry. Xu Youshan knew that there must be something wrong with Xie Jing.

But Wen Ge hesitated, but Xu Youshan didn't give him time to think, and immediately asked Wen Ge word by word: "Wen Ge, where is the prince?" ”

"Princess Qiqi, the prince is in the study, the wound is ...... The wound seems to have worsened. Wen Ge lowered his eyes and said.

But after Xu Youshan finished speaking, she didn't think about anything and looked towards the study, but she didn't rush in. Because she knew that Mo Ru was definitely treating Xie Jing now. But how could the wound worsen, even if Xie Jing's wound was cracked after falling off the horse before, but then it had already begun to scab again, and he had recovered very well in the past two days, how could it suddenly worsen?

Xu Youshan held Chu Dai's hand, her eyes stared at the door of the study without blinking, and her heart suddenly turned over, but her face still didn't change and asked Wen Ge, "What the hell is going on." ”

Since the words have been said to this point, Wen Ge no longer concealed it at this time, and told Xu Youshan the truth: "Princess Qiyu, Your Highness was unwell when she got up this morning, but because she was going to enter the palace for a banquet, she kept silent and endured the discomfort, but it wasn't until just now that His Royal Highness ordered me to quietly bring Mo Ru. ”

Xie Jing started to feel uncomfortable in the morning, why didn't she notice it? Xu Youshan frowned and didn't say anything after listening to Wen Ge's words, but kept staring at the door but didn't take her eyes away, and at this time she was also thinking about Xie Jing's performance today, trying to see if there was anything wrong with him, but Xu Youshan thought about it again and again, but in the end she was a little depressed and found that she couldn't see that there was anything wrong with him, as long as he didn't want to say it or let her know, it seemed that she couldn't find it.

There was a silence outside the room, everyone was busy, but they still didn't make a sound at all, and the same was true in the room, next to Xie Jing, who was frowning and lying on the couch, there was an elegant man about thirty years old, with a solemn face, who was taking his pulse; And next to the elegant man stood agarwood.

Agarwood didn't go to the palace with Xie Jing and Xu Youshan to go to the banquet today, she was left in the palace of King Chu by Xie Jing, and after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan came back in the evening, Xie Jing came to the empty mountain residence, which made the agarwood who had been guarding the empty mountain residence very happy.

It's just that this happiness didn't last long, and Agarwood realized that Xie Jing was wrong, and compared with Xu Youshan, no matter what, Agarwood really knows Xie Jing more than her, Xie Jing's look and eyebrows, Agarwood can basically know Xie Jing's mood, or whether there is anything different from usual. And it is precisely because of this that when Xie Jing finally asked Wenge to bring Moru here, Agarwood was the fastest person to react, she immediately helped Xie Jing to lie down on the couch, and then instructed the mother-in-law to boil water, and after Moru came, she also took the initiative to help Moru.

Therefore, after everyone was sent out by Mo Ru, Agarwood was left behind safely, standing beside Mo Ru, and he had been looking at Xie Jing who was already pale at this time.

"Go get someone to get a basin of hot water in." After Mo Ru finished diagnosing his pulse, he suddenly said to Agarwood while untying Xie Jing's robe.

And Agarwood didn't talk nonsense, and immediately walked outside the door to order, but after Agarwood hurriedly ordered the mother-in-law who was guarding outside, she saw Xu Youshan under the corridor, and a coldness immediately crossed Agarwood's eyes. But she concealed it very well, just when she bowed her head slightly and saluted Xu Youshan, so no one else noticed her strangeness.

"How is the prince?" Xu Youshan looked at the agarwood. The first sentence asked about Xie Jing's situation.

"I don't know yet, Mr. Moru is checking the pulse of His Highness." Agarwood said lightly, and the people in the empty mountain house, their hands and feet are also very neat, not long after Agarwood ordered to go down, they had already come with a basin of hot water, so Agarwood immediately asked the mother-in-law to carry the hot water in. After bowing slightly to Xu Youshan, he closed the door again, without waiting for Xu Youshan to say another word.

"This agarwood. It's so rude, how dare you be so presumptuous. And Chu Dai, who was beside Xu Youshan, saw Agarwood like this, and immediately opened her mouth angrily. But Xu Youshan raised her hand to stop Chu Dai's words. She herself just frowned and looked at the door, not knowing what the current situation was with Xie Jing in the room, and Xu Youshan at this time said that she was not worried about Xie Jing, it was really fake.

The sky is dark, and the night breeze in the autumn night is already very cool, but the lights in the empty mountain house are still bright. And in this dim light, the empty mountain house is also full of people. are all busy silently, but Xu Youshan under the corridor is silent at this time, just like the glass lamp under the corridor, although it is swaying in the wind, it is still so silent.

And the hustle and bustle of Kongshan Curie finally came to an end when dawn came, and when Mo Ru finally appeared in front of Xu Youshan and said that Xie Jing was fine, the silent and depressing atmosphere in Kongshan Curie dissipated, and Xu Youshan was finally relieved, but just when she wanted to go in to see Xie Jing, Mo Ru reminded Xu Youshan that Xie Jing needed to rest now, and it was best not to wake him up.

Xu Youshan nodded, signaling that she knew, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw that Agarwood was gently wiping her forehead and palms for Xie Jing, who was asleep, Xu Youshan really almost exhaled, if she hadn't reacted quickly in the end and took her voice back, it is estimated that Xie Jing would have woken up early at this time.

But at the beginning of the sun, when the sun shone into the room and illuminated the room warm and bright, a girl with a face like a flower, with a gentle expression that was about to drip, took care of a sleeping beautiful young man, it was really not amazing, so Xu Youshan was just speechless and pouted and looked at them from a distance, and did not make a sound to disturb, which was already very remarkable.

And Mother Liu and Chu Dai, who came in with Xu Youshan, of course, also saw this picture, but Mother Liu said that after all, Mother Liu has gone through a lot of winds and waves, and this calmness is still there, but as for Chu Dai, it is really about to be angry, but before Chu Dai can say anything, Xu Youshan motioned to Mother Liu next to her and dragged Chu Dai out.

"Mother Liu, what are you doing here?" When Chu Dai got outside, she was let go by Liu's mother, and Chu Dai immediately asked Liu's mother unhappily, she was just about to scold the bold agarwood.

"Chu Dai, let's go back." But in the face of Agarwood's anger, Mother Liu just poked her forehead with hatred, but Xu Youshan walked straight towards the empty mountain residence.

"Princess, did you leave the prince like this?" Chu Dai chased after her and asked, and what she didn't say was that she could just let the agarwood with obvious intentions stay, and take care of the prince so closely? Isn't that an opportunity for agarwood?

"How can it be said that it was dropped, isn't there already someone taking care of him carefully?" Xu Youshan said nonchalantly.

But Chu Dai wanted to say something more, hoping to let Xu Youshan stay and push the agarwood away, but before Chu Dai could speak, she was stunned by Liu's mother who was quick to see next to her, and the eyes were very stern, which made Chu Dai stunned for a moment, and then she stopped talking, and Xu Youshan and her party also returned to Bowei Houyun in silence, and faced Wu Lin, who had just gotten up, and saw the surprise when they came back from outside, Xu Youshan went back to the room without saying a word, and then closed the door tightly.

"What's going on?" Wu Lin pulled Mother Liu and Chu Dai aside and asked in a low voice.

But Mother Liu just sighed, but Chu Dai couldn't wait to tell Wu Lin's everything, and in the end, Chu Dai also said to Wu Lin's with righteous indignation: "Mother Wu, what do you say, is that agarwood bold." ”

And after listening to it, Wu Lin just sighed and shook his head like Mother Liu, and then said: "This is also no way, Chu Dai, have you forgotten that our young lady and His Royal Highness the King of Chu are just fake marriages, what identity do you want the young lady to use to interfere with His Royal Highness's personal maid to take care of His Royal Highness?" ”

Chu Dai was stunned, yes, how could she have forgotten, her young lady and His Royal Highness the King of Chu were actually just fake marriages from beginning to end, this is a scene, Miss's role in this scene is just to be in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, just pretend to be a normal couple, as for other things, her young lady has neither the qualifications nor the identity to interfere.

But when did this start, she gradually forgot that the wedding between her young lady and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was just an exchange of interests, although at the beginning after her young lady explained everything to them clearly, they were shocked, after all, if this kind of thing was discovered, it would be serious, it would be a big crime to deceive the king and exterminate the clan, and it would be punished!

But maybe it was Mother Wu, Mother Liu and Yuedai, and she had already been damaged by her young lady, for this kind of terrifying event, after Xu Youshan had decided, they gradually accepted it, and they were still going all out to assist her young lady and help her perform this scene well and well.

And this is how it was originally a play with a clear division of labor, but in the end, how did it become so confusing, they couldn't tell what was true and what was false, when did it start, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned from Fan Yang's serious injury, but chose them Bowei Houyun as the most trusted place to heal, and her young lady still took care of His Royal Highness the King of Chu inch by inch? Or did she start from the way to Xunshan to hunt, and later her young lady and His Royal Highness the King of Chu were attacked and disappeared together, and the atmosphere between the two began to change significantly after they returned?

When did they start to forget that it was actually just a play? A big drama has long been destined to come to an end on the day it will end.

……

……

Late autumn gradually ends, winter comes, but the tail of autumn, the autumn tiger is still reluctant to leave, unpredictable in the Shendu, the morning is still sunny like spring, but in the afternoon, it will rain majesticly, this unpredictable autumn tiger, but also really let the people in the Shendu lament recently.

Chu Wangfu, Po Wei Houyun.

The heavy rain fell majestically, and the newly transplanted plantains in the courtyard of Bowei Houyun were wilting in the rain, and next to the plantains, there were a few osmanthus trees full of golden yellow small osmanthus flowers, and the osmanthus between the branches and leaves at this time were all hit to the ground by the rain, making the ground mottled with golden yellow, so that the people in the house looked at it from the window, and it was really a little regrettable.

"Alas, this autumn is going to pass, but it's rare that these osmanthus flowers in your yard are blooming just right, but now they are lost by this heavy rain." Xu Mingwen said a little sentimentally, but she was so slightly inexplicably sad and sad, but Xu Mingyan, who was enjoying it on the side, was stunned, and she was almost choked by the ginseng crystal cake she had just eaten.

"Sister Wang, are you okay?" Xu Mingcheng hurriedly looked for tea to drink, and Xu Yourong, who was also shocked by Xu Ming's wife, asked her with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"Things? I'm fine, what's wrong with you? As soon as Xu Mingwen turned her head when she heard this, she saw Xu Mingcheng drinking tea in a big gulp, and couldn't stop coughing twice from time to time, Xu Youshan next to her was helping her to calm down, and Xu Yourong was looking at her with a look of surprise.

"Nothing? It's okay, you're not sick, whatever, I almost choked. Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Mingwen a little angrily and said, Originally, Xu Mingwen's character was not the kind of person who would look at the petals and look sorry, but she suddenly came to such a show today, and she was really shocked to lose her eyes, so that the other three couldn't stop twitching the corners of their mouths, and looked at her magically.
