- "You, you have never lied in front of your mother, such a handkerchief, even the most despicable palace maids in the palace will not use it, where can you pick it up?" When Concubine De said this, she covered her lips and laughed, "You are still hiding in front of your mother, I think you are not hiding a thing, but a person, right?"

If the palace maid accompanying Concubine De went to get the quilt just now and caught the two people hidden in the row of wardrobes behind the screen, Concubine De would definitely make Wang Hong's heart jump if she said this again.

But now he can be more confident that no matter what tricks the two people in the closet play, they will not be discovered by Concubine De's palace maid, so he can rest assured and can deal with Concubine De's inquiries more calmly.

From Concubine De's words just now, Wang Hong heard the result he hoped to design, and he was slightly happy in his heart, and the next arrangement was much simpler.

"Mother, the son told the truth, don't be angry." Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Wang Hong continued: "This ...... This handkerchief was picked up by Erchen outside the palace. At the beginning of the year, Erchen learned that the imperial sister was going to go out of the palace to visit the Lantern Festival during the Midyear Festival, so he begged her for several days, and finally got her consent and took Erchen out of the palace for a trip. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the streets were very lively, so I don't know which girl left her handkerchief......"

While Wang Hong spoke, his eyes drooped slightly, and he was faintly ashamed.

When Concubine De saw this scene, she was even more sure of her thoughts. Although she was indeed a little annoyed, the second prince actually went to the palace to play outside the palace without her, what if something happened? But when she thought that this child was also beginning to be ignorant, this was a gratifying growth, a smile appeared in her eyes again, and Wen Yan said: "It must be the child of Doctor Ye's family who ran into the palace to make trouble, I didn't expect to take you out of the palace this time, and when Nan Nizi enters the palace again next time, the palace will definitely give her a good women's training lesson, and she has been studying for a few years in vain."

Wang Hong hurriedly added: "Mother concubine must not, the affairs of the Midyear Festival were all agreed to by the sons and daughters." That thing is going to be hidden from everyone. If they are punished for this, I am afraid that they will not even dare to step through the door of Huayang Palace in the future, who else can Erchen find to relieve their boredom in the future?"

With these words, make preparations for Concubine De first, and when she goes to Princess Wang Qing to talk to her, even if the princess denies it unknowingly, it will not cause people to question it.

Concubine De didn't think so much at this time, she just listened to Wang Hong's words, and a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, so she smiled and said, "You are the prince." Will you still worry that you can't find someone to relieve your boredom? The mother saw it. You already have someone in your heart. It's just...... After all, the status of this person outside the palace is lower. Not worthy of you. Today, the concubine will discuss this matter with your father and the emperor another day. You have also reached the age when it is time to choose a concubine, and this matter will be reported to the Ministry of Rites for discussion at a later date. The girls of the noble families in Kyoto are suitable for marriage, and the mother concubine has already helped you pay attention......"

I didn't expect this topic to just open a gap. Concubine De made so many preparations at once, it seemed that she was really ready to do this thing, but Wang Hong was a little at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded her with some nervousness: "Mother, the son doesn't want to choose a concubine yet."

"Huh? Let the Ministry of Rites compile and hand over the list of noble ladies and hand it over, so that you can take a look at it first, so that no one will be in the way. If there is no one in the noble girl in Kyoto, you can't see it, then the position of the concubine can also be vacant first. The side concubine wants to choose one or two wonderful people. When Concubine De said this, she paused slightly, and the smile on her face was slightly retracted, and then she continued: "As for the one you pay attention to outside the palace, if you must not let it go." Tell the mother concubine which family she is, and the mother concubine will go to tell your father and emperor that it is impossible to give her a knighthood and a position out of thin air, but you can still reward her, take her to the palace, and be your personal maid. ”

Hearing Concubine De's words, Wang Hong couldn't help but think silently in his heart: When it comes to personal maids, who can be as delicate and considerate as his little star?

Seeing Wang Hong's slightly stunned look, Concubine De asked again: "Don't hide it anymore, let's say, who is that girl?"

"......" Wang Hong retracted his thoughts, looked at Concubine De, and was a little speechless for a while.

Who is that girl? There is no girl outside the palace at all, how should he make it up?

Just when Wang Hong was a little speechless and the inner room of the dormitory was completely quiet, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near outside the hall, which eased Wang Hong's embarrassment. The lights outside the door flickered, and when they went out at the door, it was two palace maids with lanterns who invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After the imperial doctor made a big salute to Concubine De and the prince, Concubine De temporarily left from the couch and sat down at the table. A eunuch brought a round stool and put it on the side of the couch, and the imperial doctor sat down, took out a soft silk sac from the medicine box, put it under Wang Hong's outstretched wrist, and then put two fingers on it and began to diagnose the pulse.

After only a few moments, the results of the pulse diagnosis came out, and the imperial doctor's reply was no different from what Wang Hong had just said, it was nothing more than a doctor's order to rest and recuperate.

In fact, Wang Hong has been familiar with such medical orders from the imperial doctor since he was a child, and he can almost recite them. Why can different imperial doctors diagnose him so consistently, he is also very clear in his heart that the frailty that has plagued him for many years is actually a deficiency disease brought out of the mother's womb, there is a problem with the physical foundation, and the auxiliary power of any medicine is not enough.

The imperial doctor prescribed a nourishment prescription and a soothing prescription, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

After Concubine De saw the two prescriptions, she stopped the imperial doctor and questioned: "This kind of prescription is often taken by the prince, but the medical officer takes a closer look, the prince is sweating and has a fever, how can these two ordinary prescriptions be treated?" Did the medic miss something?"

The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Wang Hong carefully in a blink of an eye, and then his eyes swept over the two palace maids who were each holding a stack of brocade quilts, and finally returned to Concubine De's face, and said slowly: "The current season is approaching the end of spring, and the temperature is gradually rising, is Your Highness a little thick?"

Concubine De explained: "When the palace first arrived, the prince was already sweating, but his forehead was a little cold. But later, the palace found out that his body was actually very hot, and the medical officer didn't think this symptom was very serious?"

The imperial doctor stroked his beard lightly and pondered: "Xiaguan just checked the pulse of His Highness, and he didn't find anything unusual. In addition, since your Royal Highness was young, your body was prone to sudden heat, but it often subsided naturally after a short time. Hypohidrosis needs to be recuperated slowly, and it is not urgent for a while. ”

Even if it is to serve the royal family with a noble status. As a senior physician, I trust the most in the classics left by my ancestors in medicine for hundreds of years, and I am most confident in the medical skills I have studied with my heart. Even if the patient questioned it, and even if the emperor himself came to reprimand him, this principle will not change.

In the face of Concubine De's unkind gaze, the imperial doctor can still maintain his mental calm, whether it is for his confident medical skills, or for the basis of practicing medicine, which is not to affect the judgment of the disease, he must do so.

After a pause, the imperial doctor said, "Sweaty clothes must be changed in time." So as not to be attacked by the real wind chill. ”

This is a trivial matter that has nothing to do with medical technology. Since the prince's adoptive mother is here. I'm sure I'll be able to cook it. However, the heart of the doctor's parents, the imperial doctor still had one more word of advice after a moment of hesitation.

Concubine De felt that the imperial doctor's advice was very redundant, as if she was making up words to send her away. As a result, she still doesn't feel reassured. But she really didn't know anything about medical Taoism, so she couldn't come up with strong evidence to accuse the imperial doctor of misjudgment.

You must know that the current emperor and her husband respect the two kinds of untitled people in the world the most, one is the teacher who imparts knowledge, and the other is the doctor who saves the dead and helps the wounded. Because of this, the imperial doctor, who was bullied by the nobles in the previous dynasty, although he still did not have the power to interfere in real affairs in the new dynasty, walked inside and outside the palace, and his identity was much brighter.

The emperor gave the imperial doctor a kind of honor. No matter how aristocratic they are, when they meet the imperial doctor, after receiving the great gifts of the princes and nobles, they must also pay homage to the strange men.

Concubine De knew that this was a rule set by the emperor himself, so she couldn't summon the imperial doctor like a palace servant. As for the worry that she couldn't let go of in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she tried her best to slow down her tone and said: "This palace is always a little worried, the injury on the prince's hand ......"

The imperial doctor bowed slightly and said: "Back to Concubine De Niangniang, the injury on the hand of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the lower official also heard from his colleague Doctor Ji in the Imperial Medical Bureau. According to Doctor Ji's judgment, His Royal Highness's injury was indeed too deep into the texture, but fortunately, it did not hurt the meridians on his hands, and after the injury healed, it would not leave hidden dangers to the activities of the five fingers, so Niangniang could rest assured. ”

Concubine De had heard the same words more than once, and she didn't feel much of this comfort.

Sighing softly, Concubine De said casually: "Originally, the opening in the prince's hand seemed to be about to close, but he went out of the palace in the afternoon and accidentally broke it again." This is all bad in the palace, so he shouldn't be allowed to leave the palace. ”

"Niangniang is talking about what happened in the Hengtai Pavilion in the afternoon......" The imperial doctor's words were only halfway through, and he suddenly stopped by himself, he suddenly remembered another matter, hissed and inhaled, and said at a very slow pace: "In the afternoon, Doctor Ji has been sorting out the batch of medicinal materials newly purchased into the palace yesterday with the lower officials in the Taiyi Bureau, and left the Taiyi Bureau in the evening, and it seems that it was Doctor Chen who went to the Southern Hospital to diagnose His Majesty's pulse......"

Concubine De could vaguely hear a hint of heresy from the imperial doctor's words, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "It is indeed Medical Officer Chen who went to the Southern Hospital, is there anything wrong with this?"

The imperial doctor asked: "Niang Niang just said that the wound on the hand of the Second Highness has been cracked once, so the doctor who bandaged the Second Highness again in the evening is not Doctor Zhao, who has been in charge of this matter for the past few days, but Doctor Chen?"

Concubine De nodded, and then said with a suspicious look: "Whether it is Medical Officer Chen or Medical Officer Zhao, they are both good assistants for the royal family's medical treatment, and whoever treats the prince is not all equally conscientious?"

"Xia Guan doesn't mean to say that Doctor Chen is not responsible, but it is taboo to change the original doctor in the middle of this treatment process." There are many theories, this imperial doctor didn't repeat them, but only went straight to the point, "The wound on the hand of the Second Highness has almost healed, and if it is cracked again, the wound will be much smaller than the original." According to Dr. Chen's usual treatment methods, he will add a dish of 'monkey grass' to the trauma medicine. This herb is effective in speeding up wound healing, but because of this, the user will have a slight fever in the body for a day or two, which is also the reason for the rapid growth of the new muscle in the injured area. ”

The imperial doctor spoke very carefully, but Concubine De only memorized two words from his words, and immediately said with some displeasure: "A little fever? Do you know how hot the prince is now? It's not that you don't know that the prince's physique is different from ordinary people, and he needs to be more careful with medicine, but it is best not to use any medicine with side effects. Did Doctor Chen regress in his medical skills, or did he drink today?"

The imperial doctor, who had explained a lot of theories, frowned when he heard this, and secretly said that he was almost negligent, he shouldn't have explained so much to this person outside the medical path, even if she was His Majesty's favorite imperial concubine. If you say too much, you will lose, if you let her grasp a few words. I am afraid that Dr. Chen is innocent of this, and I will feel embarrassed when I meet him in the future.

After pondering in silence for a moment, the imperial doctor regained his composure, straightened up slightly, and said calmly: "The experience of using 'Monkey Grass' is already quite rich, and it is categorical that there will be no such strict adverse effects. Forgive your majesty for being rude, dare to ask Concubine De Niangniang, what kind of ingredients did His Royal Highness use for today's dinner?"

Concubine De's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. She didn't answer. Just deflected over the face. Glanced at the palace maids of Huayang Palace who were standing aside.

The three palace maids all saw what happened to the palace maid who held the lamp before, and when they touched Concubine De's sweeping gaze at this time, they immediately had an ominous premonition. They knew that there were some things that even His Royal Highness the Second Prince would not favor and could not avoid. The three of you, look at me, I see you hesitate and struggle for a moment, and finally one of them stepped forward and said cowardly: "Your Highness drank a cup of ginseng soup."

It's just ginseng soup, or the kind that the prince usually drinks, what will go wrong?

This should have been a harmless diet, and the palace maids never thought that there would be anything wrong with it, but at this time, the palace maid who replied was forced by Concubine De's gaze, as if she meant that she brought a cup of boiled water to serve the prince to drink, which was equivalent to sending a cup of arsenic to the prince.

The second prince, Wang Hong, sat on the couch in the soft brocade quilt. After the imperial doctor diagnosed the wrist pulse, he had been quietly listening to the conversation between Concubine De and the imperial doctor. He originally thought that the imperial doctor's diagnosis was fine and that he would leave soon, and Concubine De would not stay longer, but he didn't expect it. The conversation between the two unconsciously pulled to the palace maid in their own palace.

At Concubine De's place just now, he finally managed to earn some value for the maids in Huayang Palace to continue to stay, but he didn't expect that there would be an incident now. If it is allowed to be extended, Concubine De will definitely not let go of the plan of the Huayang Palace's maidservants and maids.

Before he could think about it more, the second prince Wang Hong suddenly said loudly: "I don't have much appetite in this palace for dinner today, I just want to rest early." The ginseng soup is made in the dining room of the main palace, and it is relatively simple to eat, and it is also the kind that is often drunk on weekdays, so what can be the problem?"

Just now, he also suddenly added a sentence when Concubine De was talking to others, but it was a sentence that indirectly sent the innocent lantern maid to the Huanyi Bureau to do hard labor. And this time, it was also suddenly spoken, but the artistic conception was very different.

The palace maid who replied to Concubine De pursed her lips tightly, she was a little grateful in her heart, but at this moment she didn't dare to show the slightest affection in front of Concubine De.

The imperial doctor first waved his hand to the second prince, and then explained slowly: "Ginseng soup is a great tonic and positive yang qi, and it is indeed a healthy medicinal diet suitable for the second highness to eat regularly. However, the warm and tonic properties of ginseng soup will aggravate the symptoms of fever caused by 'monkey grass'. The medicinal properties are blocked, which is similar to not taking mung bean soup during the period of taking medicine, and the lower official advised His Royal Highness that he should stop taking ginseng soup in the past few days. ”

"With the medical officer's reminder, presumably all the maids in Huayang Palace will not make this mistake again." While the second prince Wang Hong spoke, his eyes looked around, "Did you hear the words of the medical officer?"

Several palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace all knelt down and kowtowed when they heard this: "Slave maid remember, thank you for the advice of the imperial doctor, and thank the Second Prince's Palace for your kindness!"

The second prince, Wang Hong, raised his hand and waved his hand to signal those palace maids to calm down, and then he said to the imperial doctor: "This palace has been weak since childhood, and thanks to the love of my father, I have been participating in soup all year round, which is no longer a secret thing. Presumably, Medical Officer Chen should also be aware of this partial effect of 'Monkey Pucao', why did he not mention it when he bandaged his hand injury in the main palace in the evening? How could the maids in Huayang Palace know about such a thing, so why do they have to bear the blame for it?"

In short, it is necessary to try our best to suppress Concubine De's idea of preparing to "clean" Huayang Palace, this disaster of ginseng soup, how far can it be kicked, even if it is for the time being, it will make Medical Officer Chen feel a little wronged. However, my father has always been respectful to doctors, and even if the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau occasionally make mistakes negligently, they will only be punished lightly, right?

After listening to the prince's words, the imperial doctor's face turned slightly pale, knowing that his plan to expose Doctor Chen was bound to be miscalculated, so he had to lower his eyes and say: "The gold sore medicine is only used after it is prepared, it may be that Doctor Chen was careless about the formula details." His Majesty was in the peak of spring and autumn, the Holy Body was strong, and there were very few medical missions, and this evening Physician Chen was suddenly transmitted, presumably because he was worried about the Holy Lord, which caused the loss of a ......."

Before the imperial doctor's words were finished, Concubine De suddenly became angry and said out of thin air: "The medical hall with such an impetuous mood. How can it be used? Later, the palace will go to remove him from the south courtyard, and His Majesty will send another medical officer over. ”

Seeing that Concubine De was angry and punishing people again, Wang Hong gradually became tired in his heart. Not counting what he persuaded him to stop openly and secretly, just count the time of Medical Officer Chen, who is already the third person who has been punished by her in the past half an hour tonight, and then I don't know which people she is going to see who are not pleasing to the eye.

I don't know why she's so angry today?

If even the palace maid accidentally sneezed when standing beside him, someone slipped his foot when the guard of honor walked, and the maid poured tea a little full...... Such trivial matters have to be punished and punished, and all the servants in the palace have to serve their masters in shackles.

If this is the case. What other servant is a true servant? Everyone has grievances and awkwardness in their hearts. Then the master can't drink ginseng soup like today. The fact that the slave and maid still have to go up is likely to evolve into a deliberate event.

Punishing people for a moment - or not bringing pleasure to the rest at all - but the hidden misfortunes left behind can be passed on endlessly.

Wang Hong is a forgiving personality, tired of this kind of style, usually when he gets along with Concubine De. He tried his best to ignore Concubine De's means, thinking that this was also her personality and could not be completely reversed. But at this moment, he has been patiently dealing with Concubine De for so long, and his physical discomfort has made him more tired, and he has really reached a situation where he doesn't want to continue to accompany him.

Chang Changshu exhaled, Wang Hong raised his hand and rubbed his chest that was a little sluggish, and said in a tone full of exhaustion: "Okay, concubine." This is not a big deal, the sons will be careful in the future, and the medical officers should pay more attention. All the medical officers of the Taiyi Bureau have been selected from all over the country, and most of them are famous doctors. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Xia Guan Ming felt guilty, and he will definitely return His Royal Highness's original words and kindness to his colleagues in the Tai Yi Bureau, so as to motivate all the medical officers of the Tai Yi Bureau to do more work for the royal family in the future. The imperial doctor waved his hand and bowed to the prince, and after a slight pause, he said: "The lower official has finished the diagnosis and treatment for the second highness, and seeing that the night is dark, it is the most important thing for the second highness to rest early, and the lower official does not dare to delay, so he will resign."

"There's a labor doctor." Wang Hong raised his sleeves from afar, "Send the medical officer." ”

The two palace maids answered, carrying lanterns to lead the imperial doctor out.

Concubine De walked to the couch again and sat down on the brim. She originally had an evil idea to say, about who the owner of Fang Supa was, she didn't have time to ask, but she saw that the second prince Wang Hong was very tired at this time, so she temporarily put this evil in her heart, and just reached out to probe his forehead and arm.

I don't know if the imperial doctor has come, causing some psychological hints, she feels that the prince's body temperature seems to be calmer at this time, she is slightly relieved, and said slowly: "The concubine originally only planned to come to see you and leave soon, but she didn't expect to be delayed for so long." You must be very tired now, and you are only holding up your spirits to accompany your mother. Okay, the mother is really going back now, you can lie down and rest. ”

Wang Hong nodded, he really didn't have the energy to talk more, so he prepared to slide into the quilt.

But Concubine De suddenly remembered the imperial doctor's advice just now, and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, your underwear has been soaked with sweat, and you have to change it, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night."

Wang Hong had no choice but to sit up again, sighed and said, "Mother, you also said that these things can be handed over to the palace maids to do, and rest assured that they will serve, you can go and rest early."

Concubine De thought about it when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have grown into a man, and some things must be left to you to do by yourself."

Concubine De is finally gone.

The palace maids who were accompanied by Concubine De all withdrew from Huayang Palace, and the footsteps became farther away, and the second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting on the couch, had lost the strength to lean on the pillow behind him, his shoulders were tilted, and he lay on the soft and silky brocade quilt, and immediately fell asleep.

After a long time, his shoulders suddenly trembled, and the man immediately came to his senses and sat up from the quilt suddenly.

There was a fog in front of him, and then he saw the face of the eunuch Aja.

Aja kept standing on the edge of the collapse and looked at Wang Hong, trying to wake him up, but he couldn't bear to disturb his sleep. Seeing him suddenly wake up at this time, as if he had just been frightened, Aja's face showed worry, and he asked softly: "Your Highness, are you going to change your sweaty clothes?"

Wang Hong's gaze paused on the plain shirt held in Ajia's hand, and he didn't give instructions, but asked, "How long did you sleep in this palace just now?"

"It's not enough time for tea." Aja replied verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help but say: How can this be considered sleep. It's more like passing out for a while.

"It's okay......" Wang Hong seemed to be talking to himself first, and then said to the eunuch Ajia: "You go out first, and you can only come in when the palace calls you in to serve."

Aja was ordered to retreat.

When he was about to go out, he heard the prince on the couch call him again, and when he turned around, he saw that although the prince sitting on the couch was still full of tiredness, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Aja, what happened just now." Thank you in advance. What to do next. It's still entrusted to you. You'll understand, right?"

Aja had long understood.

Just now, when he heard the prince's order to "take ten steps back" from the inner room of the dormitory, he probably knew that there was one more person in the inner room of the dormitory.

In the face of the prince's re-admonition, Aja's eyes also became solemn. He bowed and went out without saying anything.

Silence is a promise at this point.

After Aja went out and closed the door, the second prince Wang Hong jumped down from the couch and ran towards the long screen with his shoes on.

couldn't wait to open the wooden door of the one-person-high standing wardrobe, Wang Hong saw that there was a surname in the wardrobe that had moved away from several stacks of quilts, and it was difficult to hide people in this kind of emptiness, but the palace maid with Concubine De went to the wardrobe three times in a row, and did not find the two people he hid inside......

That's because, there's no one in the closet at all!

So where did the people he hid in before go?

Wang Hong was only slightly confused about this matter just now. At this time, seeing such a strange thing happening in the closet, the doubts in his heart suddenly swelled sharply. He first reached out and waved it in the closet space, making sure that he was not delusional, and he felt a trace of fear grow in his heart.

"Little Star?"

"Aunt Li?"

Wang Hong called lightly twice, and subconsciously reached out and knocked on the three side panels of the wardrobe.

As he reached out and knocked on the left side panel of the wardrobe. Suddenly, he heard a sound similar to the bounce of an iron piece, and then he felt a flower in front of him, as if something had jumped out of the closet, and he dragged several robes and robes out of the closet.

The speed of the "thing" jumping out was extremely fast, Wang Hong closed his eyes forcefully and closed his eyes to concentrate and then opened his eyes, and saw that the "thing" was two people.

It was the two people I had just called.

Although Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, suffered for three years because she went to the Northland, her body was very thin, but her martial arts were still there, and she restrained the woman who was hiding in the closet first with just one move. Only then did she come out of the closet, and one of her right hands was still moving like an iron claw, and she twisted her arms around her back in reverse, making her unable to move.

The woman's face was already pale, and there was a ball of cloth in her mouth, so that her breathing could not be smooth, and her forehead began to sweat like rain after such a toss.

"What are you doing here? Loosen up! Although Wang Hong had expected this scene, there was still a difference between what he saw with his own eyes and what he imagined in his mind, and at this time his face had changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dismantle the cloth stuffed with the woman's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, also realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, and hurriedly let go of the hand that clasped the woman's arms.

As soon as the clasp on her back was loosened, the woman, who was already having some gold stars in her eyes, weakened her legs and fell to the ground.

Wang Hong, the second prince, who was helping her unravel the cloth ball, also squatted down and pulled out the cloth, but saw that it was a cotton sock. Wang Hong raised his hand and threw the socks that were still hanging with the woman's saliva out of the distance, and then stared sideways at the woman in the cloth skirt Xiaoxing, and said with some annoyance: "How can you do this to her?"

Xiaoxing was slightly stunned, and immediately knelt down, pleading guilty: "The maid only thinks she is...... She's a villain...... And they took her. Is it a mistake? But why would this person hide in the closet beforehand? Isn't it a spy who intends to spy on His Highness?"

"Have you ever seen a spy who doesn't know how to do martial arts?" Wang Hong sighed, not wanting to explain too much about this detail. After he looked at the woman carefully and made sure that Xiaoxing had not caused her much damage, his gaze finally stopped on her arm that was still turning back, and immediately ordered: "Quick, massage her arm, don't leave a disability."

Roughly determining whether this woman was a friend or foe, Xiao Xing hurriedly began to push and rub her sprained arm for her, and at the same time asked Wang Hong: "Your Highness, who is this person?" Why would you hide her in the closet?"

I can't explain this in a single sentence. You just have to see her clearly and remember not to embarrass her in the future. After saying this, Wang Hong rubbed the corners of his forehead, remembered what he saw in the closet just now, and immediately asked, "What happened to you in the closet just now?" Those palace maids didn't find you when they went to get the quilt, I came to check, and I only saw the empty wardrobe, where did you hide just now? How did you suddenly jump out of nowhere?"

"Doesn't Your Highness know?" Listening to Wang Hong's question, Xiao Xing's face also showed doubts, "The back of this cabinet is empty." There is a secret passage. ”

"Secret ......" Wang Hong was surprised.

He has lived in this dormitory for more than ten years. The row of wardrobes was placed in front of the solid wall behind the screen. It's been seven or eight years, and he's never noticed that the wall was hollow. Moreover, this row of wardrobes was a few years ago, and Concubine De saw him grow from a child to a teenager. The clothes are not so frequent, so I ordered someone to build a big wardrobe and put it over, and it seems that Concubine De didn't see the mystery behind this wall.

For this, Xiaoxing, who had served Wang Hong for several years, certainly knew it. Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, she also thought about it, obviously she was more suspicious of Concubine De's unkindness than others, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Could it be that Concubine De secretly sent someone to chisel?" She has so many masters under her hands, it is not difficult to do this. ”

"No, it's unlikely to be her." Wang Hong shook his head. Said slowly: "This row of wardrobes was given to me by her eight years ago, when I was only about ten years old, and she didn't need to bother at all, just to spy on a ten-year-old child. Besides, I couldn't do as much as a ten-year-old kid at that time. ”

Xiao Xing pondered and said, "She also knows that with the growth of His Highness. It will become more and more difficult to control zhì, so she will first chisel the secret passage in the dormitory at the age when His Royal Highness can still control zhì, and then use it when she needs to use it. ”

In the face of Xiao Xing's second speculation, Wang Hong was obviously silent for a long time, and then he shook his head again and said slowly: "Compared with the method of directly sending people to monitor me, it is too risky to chisel the walls of the Rafter Yang Palace a few years ago in advance, and the handle is too obvious. If the maidservants in my palace discover this secret passage, she will not escape investigation, because she gave this row of wardrobes, so why should she set herself on fire?"

This time it was Xiaoxing's turn to be silent.

After pondering for a while, Xiaoxing spoke again, and the object of questioning was still Concubine De: "She can also send someone to take care of this row of wardrobes, so that it will be difficult for anyone to discover the secrets in the cabinet."

"This one is even more difficult to do, Xiaoxing, don't you know, the maids in Huayang Palace are the most lax in their rules, and the maids who clean and tidy up this row of wardrobes every day have never fixed the list." Speaking of this, Wang Hong sighed, and said in a slightly changed tone: "Xiaoxing, when you think about it, every sentence is directly aimed at Concubine De, and there is obviously a hatred for her in your words. What's wrong with you? After all, she is the mother who has taken care of me from childhood to adulthood, and even if she has done something wrong, she must have no ill will towards me. ”

Listening to Wang Hong's words, Xiao Xing suddenly realized that no matter what kind of bad image Concubine De has become in her mind now, after all, Concubine De has taken care of him for more than ten years, and she is the most difficult benefactor for him to question and blame.

This kind of kindness, cultivated from childhood to adulthood, is the most deep-rooted, and can most influence the recipient's judgment of a certain salary of the benefactor.

At this moment, Xiao Xing suddenly had a trance in his heart, feeling that he had complied with the prince's instructions to investigate Concubine De, which seemed to be a mistake from the beginning.

Because no matter what the results of her investigation are, the prince, who was taken care of and cared for by Concubine De, will only choose her good aspects in the end, and subconsciously correct the things she did wrong.

If you are very grateful to someone and love someone from the bottom of your heart, that person has done something wrong, as if there is a right reason for it.

ps: Monkey grass is made up by myself, I don't know if there is a herb with this name, anyway, it's not a big medicinal material, so I'm too lazy to check the medical codex, cough cough. If there is any similarity, even if I am blind, the medicinal properties will definitely not be correct, please ignore this thing.

PS2: When it comes to the secret passage, how come the plot of the horror novel building a wall and hiding a corpse comes to mind? Ahem, first of all, this secret passage has nothing to do with hiding corpses in this article, I'm just curious how my brain hole could have diverged and thought of the horror link......
