- However, he had just walked to the corner of the screen, and before he could see what was going on, something happened again!

This time, the accident came from outside the dormitory.

According to the royal rules, although the second prince Wang Hong is not the biological son of Concubine De, Wang Hong also wants to serve Concubine De as his mother. What's more, in general, he was actually raised by Concubine De.

I still remember his poor physique when he was a child, and he was most prone to illness when he slept at night. It is also the most troublesome. Concubine De grew up to take care of him, and how many nights did she survive.

At that time, Concubine De was also in her early twenties, and a woman's most energetic youth was pasted to an adopted son, for Wang Hong, in a sense, Concubine De's kindness to raise him was even heavier than the hardships of his biological mother's pregnancy in October.

Because of what happened during the day, and for several reasons that only she knew in her heart, Concubine De obviously couldn't sleep tonight. In the eyes of others, she is worried about her injured husband and her son, who has not recovered from his injuries. It's human nature.

Wang Hong came to visit Concubine De at night. Of course, he didn't have any objections, and he should have expected it. His hand had been torn open twice during the day's horseback riding, and when he was re-bandaged by the imperial doctor, the gentleman had a tense face from head to end. to show his concern for the hands of the second prince. and faintly reproachful.

On the face of it. It's just that the palm of the hand was cut by a sharp weapon, but in fact, the wound was too deep. They all hurt the periosteum of the hand. For the first time, the royal doctor opened the crack and cleaned it. You can see the white joints inside, beyond the full biography to read. Such injuries are prone to malignant diseases on the inside, and the outer skin wounds have healed, but the cracks under the skin are suppurating, and the poisonous blood erodes the bones, and it is difficult to heal.

For this superficially simple but secretly sinister external injury, the imperial doctor will never dare to be careless, and at the same time, he is also afraid of taking responsibility. Because of the poor identity, the imperial doctors were unable to say too much to His Royal Highness, but it was also because of an identity reason, they would inevitably report this matter to Concubine Mingde. Because of what Concubine De said, it was difficult for His Royal Highness the Prince not to listen.

It's just that Concubine De arrived at this time. The second prince Wang Hong is fine, but it is a taboo for those two people outside the palace!

Xiaoxing and the person hiding behind the screen, no matter which one is seen by Concubine De, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the disaster. Even the incident that he has been watching for many years. I'm afraid I'm going to be implicated.

It will put these two people at risk. It's all caused by your own carelessness. suddenly saw the personal maid who had not returned for three years, but found that she had suffered a terrible encounter on her appearance, and he was angry for a while. I forgot about the precautions for the outdoors.

Fortunately, after a few years of operation, there are still a few clever people in the Huayang Palace where he lives.

The eunuch outside the gate suddenly shouted: "Concubine De Niangniang has arrived." ”

His voice was loud enough to pass through two walls for the people inside. In order to give the people inside precious time to prepare, he also took a certain risk, and he was not jealous of Concubine De's suspicions, but because he was loyal, it was the master in the palace behind him, not the concubine in front of him with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes.

- Xiao Xing's return to Huayang Palace must have been known in advance by a few old people in this palace.

In the face of the emperor's favorite concubine, the closest adoptive mother of the prince in the palace, and the concubine Niangniang, who still faintly has the momentum of being sealed, the palace people who are despicable and slaves have no right to speak, let alone find an excuse to block it. The eunuch just shouted loudly, and his voice was suddenly too high, and he inevitably received ten slaps.

"In the dead of night, there is such noise, disturbing the prince's rest, how did you behave?" The door of the outer hall has been opened, and there is only one door separated from the inner room of the dormitory, and Concubine De's slightly annoyed voice came in a little, "The female official wrote down, and during the day, she will be punished by this inferior slave, and she will be confined for three days, and she will copy the rules of the palace pavilion at night again!" ”

In the inner room of the dormitory, Wang Hong had already walked quickly behind the long screen and saw the little star with a shocked face. As for the man he had hidden behind this screen a few days earlier, he was nowhere to be seen.

Concubine De came, Xiaoxing had already heard the sound outside, and before she could say more, Wang Hong grabbed her wrist, pulled her to a row of wardrobes, swept her eyes, opened one of the cabinet doors, and pushed her in.

Tearing up two sets of robes hanging in a person's closet, Wang Hong closed the cabinet door and walked back to the screen quickly.

Although the outer hall is dozens of steps deep, the horizontal distance from the inner room is only about ten steps, when Concubine De has already walked to the door of the inner room, Wang Hong in the room has just sat on the edge of the couch, and it is too late to take off his shoes and lift the quilt to pretend to be asleep.

Looking at the door of the inner room slowly opening, Wang Hong's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly remembered the booklet that Xiao Xing had just handed him to record the affairs of the north. The booklet categorically couldn't be seen by Concubine De, but when he got up and went behind the screen just now, he didn't put it away, I'm afraid it was spread out in a conspicuous place on the couch.

The faint light of the lamp in the dormitory was forced by the palace lamp outside the door that was getting closer and brighter, and the two kinds of light and dark contrasts were intertwined, and everything in the room became blurred. Such as a painting that has been immersed in water.

Wang Hong was anxious, turned around and grabbed the couch indiscriminately, fortunately his luck was good, and soon his fingers touched the edge of the booklet, and he hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it under the brocade quilt.

There was no more time for him to have a chance to hide the booklet in a more secret place, the door of the inner room of the dormitory had been opened, and under the light of the Huanghuang Palace lamp, Xiao Wanting, the richly dressed concubine, stepped lightly and walked in.

With the entry of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, the seat lamps and corner lamps in the dormitory were lit. The room was lit up. The second prince sitting on the edge of the couch narrowed his eyes slightly.

When Concubine De walked into the inner room of the dormitory, she saw that the second prince Wang Hong was not lying flat on the couch, but sitting on the edge of the couch, and her feet had been put into the shoes. It looks like he's about to get up. Concubine De couldn't help but be surprised. At the same time, there are still some doubts in my heart.

Wang Hong didn't seem to have just been woken up by the shouts of the eunuch outside the door, but as if he had woken up a long time ago, but the palace maid who stayed in the inner room to keep vigil was at the gate outside the palace. So what happened in this inner room just now?

"Mother." Wang Hong saw that Concubine De had already come in, so he called first. Then he got up and greeted him, "Erchen meets the concubine ......"

Without waiting for Wang Hong to bow down, Concubine De walked a little hurriedly, raised her hand to support his forearm, and said with a smile: "It's almost free, you are still polite to the concubine, sit down." ”

Concubine De wanted to help Wang Hong back to lean on the couch, but Wang Hong was afraid that as soon as she lifted the quilt, she would see the booklet he hastily hid under the brocade quilt, so she just sat back on the side of the couch, and then immediately called the palace maid to wait for Concubine De to sit down.

Although Concubine De had doubts. But she didn't say anything right away. It was only according to Wang Hong's intention first, but she instructed the palace maid to move the chair to the side of the couch, and she sat down.

When she saw Wang Hong's sweaty forehead clearly, Concubine De's face suddenly showed worry. She took a silk handkerchief from her waist. Dry him carefully. At the same time, he said compassionately: "Why do you sweat so much? Wasn't it okay when you just came back from outside the palace? ”

Wang Hong just smiled lightly at this and covered it with the old words: "Erchen has been so easy to drag down other people's physique since he was a child, but in fact, it's nothing. A night's rest will ease up. ”

"That is, you dare to treat yourself like this." Concubine De couldn't help but reproach, "Mother Concubine watched you pay half a lifetime of hard work from just learning to walk staggeringly to growing into your current handsome descendant, you should owe me, you need to take good care of yourself, you know?" ”

"The retainers obeyed." Wang Hong lowered his head slightly.

Concubine De sighed faintly, and then said slowly: "The concubine just heard from the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Bureau, the injury in your palm was just a little better, and it was broken again, the imperial doctor said that this time you must take care of it carefully, the concubine was worried, so she came to see you." You're used to getting sick at night, how are you feeling now? If you feel uncomfortable, you must not hide it, and you must call someone to serve it in time, you know? ”

"Erchen knows." Wang Hong raised his head slowly, "Thank you, Concubine, for your advice." ”

"Now that you have grown up, it is impossible for your mother to watch you to sleep every night like when you were a child, so she can only tell you from time to time and teach you to pay more attention to yourself. Fortunately, in recent years, you have been less reborn, which makes the mother feel much more at ease. While speaking, Concubine De reached out and touched Wang Hong's forehead, only to feel a little cold when she touched it, and she couldn't help but say again: "It's so cold, hurry up and get into the quilt to cover it." ”

Seeing that Concubine De hadn't gotten up yet, Wang Hong hurriedly moved, and sure enough, he "drilled" into the brocade quilt. He didn't dare to open it, still afraid that the booklet would be exposed. After getting into the quilt, he moved his body very slightly, pressing the book under his legs, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine De was actually about to stand up and help Wang Hong tuck the quilt just now, and the reason why she didn't act was because she was used to glancing at the ground before getting up, and then she saw the burned fire stalk on the ground next to her feet.

She didn't drop her hand to pick it up, but her eyes fixed on the fire fold for a moment, and then she said with a little annoyance, "What's going on?" The palace is heavy, how many times do you have to be admonished to be careful about the fire candle? Which rough slave left this behind? If you stand up and confess your guilt, you can also ask for some forgiveness, don't wait for the palace to interrogate them one by one! ”

Among the several palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace who were in charge of keeping vigil today, none of them made a sound.

Wang Hong, who was already nestled in the quilt, leaned over when he heard the sound, and looked at a 520 novel to understand what was happening when he looked down at Concubine De's gaze. His eyes changed for a moment, and there must be one thing that he couldn't bypass today, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

The fire fold stalk was also left by Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt who suddenly appeared in the inner room of the dormitory just now. This is a small accident, but fortunately, this kind of fire fold is very ordinary, and it is not possible to see the traces left by someone's personality from above. However, in order to hide this doubt, there must be a palace slave who has to suffer some grievances tonight.

In the face of everyone's silence, on the couch shrouded in silk tents, Wang Hong, the second prince, who was sitting quietly leaning on two soft pillows, suddenly spoke: "It's about the palace maid who held the lamp just now accidentally dropped, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth the mother concubine to be annoyed by the king of creation." ”

Although he said it lightly, as long as these words came out of his mouth, Concubine De would never spare the mistake of the palace maid who held the lamp.

No one needs to be identified. The arrangement of the palace slaves for the nightly vigil in the dormitory has long been scheduled. The second prince's words were only halfway through. Among the palace maids standing on both sides, one of them knelt down with a "bang" and begged for mercy and cried out for mercy. She was guarding the inner room of the dormitory just now, and she was summoned by the second prince. I went to the palace maid who lit the triangular glass lamp.

The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't say anything more. In order to hide the traces of the little star. He had to do it. As for this lady who seems to have only been elected to Huayang Palace for a short time, she has to compensate for the grievances she has suffered today. We'll have to talk about it another day.

Seeing that the palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if she had really been wronged, among the several servants of Huayang Palace present, there was an older eunuch who vaguely grasped the intention of the second highness, not only did not help the palace maid speak, but also said meaningfully: "Don't argue anymore, you can review it yourself, when did the second highness wronged which palace servant?" It's all your own rudeness, do you still want to throw the responsibility to Your Highness? ”

Concubine De's last hesitation was also removed by the eunuch's words, and anger gradually grew on her face.

The eunuch was right, the second prince Wang Hong may have developed a gentle temperament since he was a child because of his poor physical fitness, and he rarely gets angry, so naturally he rarely gets angry with the servants in the palace.

Over time, he gradually became a rare good master in the hearts of most palace slaves in the harem.

As a prince, the wisdom of the gentleman he has learned, the breeze of the person he has cultivated, and the generosity and kindness of his character are not a problem. It's completely unimaginable that he should do the thing of framing a little palace maid, and if the palace maid denies it again, it will be a bit like throwing dirt on His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to speak out anymore, and after listening to the eunuch's accusation, although she had some hatred in her heart, she also had some doubts about herself, was it really her negligence just now? The eunuch's words were not all wrong, how could His Royal Highness wronged himself as a little palace maid?

"Doing things so crudely, and refusing to bear the mistakes after committing them, how can the emperor's bedroom be left with such a bad servant." Concubine De, who was silent for a moment, spoke coldly, and at the same time flicked her sleeves, "Let's go to the Huanyi Bureau tonight, you will be more diligent there in the future, and you will not even live up to this last master's expectations." ”

As soon as Concubine De's words were finished, two of the palace maids who surrounded her here stood up, stretched out their hands on the shoulders of the kneeling palace maids, and quickly carried her out.

Concubine De disposes of palace slaves, and there is very little room for intercession. The close servants around her are also accustomed to this kind of determination-
