1196, one month

- Hearing the news, a smile appeared in Wang Hong's eyes, and he said with a sigh of relief: "Great." I knew that with Mr. Lin's ability, how could something happen lightly. ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a muffled sound of "bang" in the room, as if the sound of a fist hitting a wooden plank.

Xiao Xing raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Someone! ”

After that, she was already keenly aware of the direction from which the sound was coming from, and the stars were staggered under her feet, and the person had already flashed behind a screen at the end of the couch.

Wang Hong was about to block it, but compared to Xiaoxing's agility, he was still a little slower. However, Xiao Xingdi sensed that the direction was right, and there was really a person hidden behind the screen of the four gentlemen splashing ink in the inner room of the dormitory.

For this person, Wang Hong was not going to mention it to anyone, but now that Xiaoxing took the initiative to find out, he couldn't hide it.

Before everyone revealed this person's identity to Xiao Xing, this matter is not impossible, Xiao Xing's ability to do things and rigorous behavior he can trust, and the person behind this screen is still a little related to the things that Xiao Xing has investigated for three years when he went to the north.

It's just that this person has a special status, and he thinks it is necessary for him to go there in person. In Xiaoxing's style, if he found a servant in his dormitory who was not in the palace, he had to give that person some flesh and skin pain first.

Wang Hong silently considered these subtle incidents, and quickly turned over and got off, and walked towards the screen with his shoes on.

However, he had only just reached the corner of the screen, and before he could see what was going on, things changed again!

This time it happened. From outside the dormitory.

Concubine De is here!

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 several reasons that only I know in my heart. Concubine De obviously had trouble sleeping 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. During the day, while riding a horse, he suffered a second split in his hand. When I was rebandaged at the Imperial Doctor's. The gentleman had a stiff face from beginning 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 reality, 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 are unable to say too much to His Royal Highness, but it is also because of an identity reason, they will inevitably report this matter to Concubine De, because it is difficult for His Royal Highness to listen to what Concubine De said.

It's just that Concubine De came at this time, and the second prince Wang Hong was fine, but it was a big 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 I have been watching for many years will probably be implicated.

will let these two people get into danger, it is caused by their own carelessness, and suddenly I saw the personal maid who had not returned for three years, but found that she had a terrible encounter on her appearance, and he was angry for a while, and he forgot to guard against 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. 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, but fortunately his luck was good, and soon his fingers touched the edge of the booklet. Hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it under the brocade quilt.

There was no more time for him to hide the booklet in a more hidden place. The door of the inner room of the dormitory had been opened, and under the illumination 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 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. saw that the second prince Wang Hong was not lying flat on the couch. Instead, he sat on the edge of the couch, and his feet were already in his shoes, and the concubine was often not obedient, and he mistakenly provoked the femme fatale to read the full text. 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 look like he had just been woken up by the shouts of the eunuch outside the door. And it seems that she has woken up a long time ago, but the palace maid who stayed in the inner room to keep vigil is at the gate outside the hall. So what happened in this inner room just now?

"Mother." Wang Hong saw that Concubine De had already come in, so he called first, and then got up to greet him, "Erchen to meet 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 was puzzled, she didn't show anything immediately, but first followed Wang Hong's wishes, but she told the palace maid to move the chair to the side of the couch, and she sat down.

When she saw Wang Hong's forehead clearly, Concubine De's face suddenly showed worry, she took a silk handkerchief from her waist, wiped it carefully for him, and 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, in fact, it's nothing, it will ease up after a night's rest." ”

"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, and he rarely got angry, so he was rarely 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. (To be continued......)
