1056 opportunities
To be a hard-working monarch, you can't do without a good physical foundation - on the other hand, the kings of previous dynasties were heroic and imposing when they first ascended the throne, but perhaps after a few years, they were sick and tired.
Occasionally, the members of the court have important events to enter the palace to play His Majesty, or when His Majesty goes elsewhere, sometimes they need to ask the Second Highness to find it. The palace is His Majesty's home, and only his family can move around at will. In recent years, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are no strangers to the second highness who lives in seclusion, and they are also full of praise for his character and 'sex' character, but ...... Regarding the matter of sealing the storage, everyone has a trace of concern in their hearts.
A healthy person can wear himself out like this when he becomes an emperor, let alone what will happen to a person who is already in poor health, after sitting in that position.
As for the Third Highness, he can live a life of traveling all over the world all year round, and his body is naturally speechless, but he has too little time to return to the palace, and another question is highlighted, how is his character and ability to govern the country? Officials of the Ministry of Rites could hardly find any basis for thinking about this.
But in any case, for the emperor's household affairs, the target of the courtiers and workers has changed, and the intention of encouraging the Ministry of Rites to find a way to hold a draft gift for the emperor a few years ago has long been outdated. The ministers of the court, even the Ministry of Rites, jumped in, just waiting for the decision of His Majesty XiΓ Lichu, and the affairs of the harem were almost no longer mentioned, and they were getting colder and colder.
Maybe when the crown prince is decided, the harem will be lively again because of the prince's choice of concubine.
However, if you observe the root cause of the desertion of the harem from the perspective of a 'female', Concubine Xiao Wanting has always believed in her heart that Emperor Wang Chi's feelings for the newly elected 'female' beauties in the palace are relatively weak, and the main reason is that the area in his heart where he puts his feelings has long been occupied by a 'female'. It's hard to get there even yourself, let alone those newcomers who have only seen Wang Chi a few times.
Because there are already people in my heart, I will not envy other 'flowers' and plants. Other than that, everything is nothing. Wang Chi will only turn forty years old this year, and others are still in their prime, how can they not need a 'female' person? Xiao Wanting couldn't help but be resentful and firmly believed that it could only be the shadow of the 'female' in his heart who was doing trouble!
But what must be done to kill a soul that dwells in a person's heart?
As far as the overall situation in the harem is concerned, the closest 'woman' to Wang Chi is her, and Wang Chi also gave her the highest rank and favor among the 'women' in the harem, but she is still unable to replace the 'woman' who completely occupies him.
Regarding this result that made her helpless, sad and resentful, Concubine Xiao Wanting not only hated the 'female' who still occupied Wang Chi even if she died, but she was also a little cruel to herself, hating herself for being different from those newcomers in the harem and really unhappy.
Concubine De Xiao Wanting, who was standing one step in front of the imperial couch, gradually lowered her eyes, and slowly raised her right hand and pressed it on her lower abdomen. As the thoughts in her mind fluctuated, her long, slender and evenly textured hand slowly grasped the gold leaf inlay beads on the piece of brocade, and clenched it tighter and tighter, so tight that the bones of her hand were craggy, and the blue 'colored' meridians that were originally deep under the white skin on the back of her hand suddenly became extremely clear.
This hand, which could have given people infinite tenderness and blind imagination, became a little hideous at this moment.
Emperor Wang Chi would stay at Concubine Xiao Wanting for about three to five nights every month, and such a frequency was simply a pampered treatment for the newcomers in the harem who had only been selected in recent years.
Xiao Wanting herself also knew very well in her heart that Wang Chi would spend about ten nights every month in the busy night of reviewing and reciting in the imperial study, and he could still allocate three to five nights to come to her, which was already a great honor, and she should have been content.
But she was not satisfied.
After that miscarriage thirteen years ago, she planted an unwilling seed in her heart, and with the emptiness of her belly for more than ten years, the malicious seed has sprouted and grown leaves, and now it has stretched out its branches.
If she can also give birth to a child for Wang Chi, perhaps because of a mother's love and care for her child, this seed full of anxiety and resentment will naturally wither.
But she couldn't.
Over the years, she has worked hard to do many things, one of the most important things for Wang Chi is that she took the initiative to take care of and raise the second prince Wang Hong in her early years, and took care of Wang Hong, who was a minor illness for three days and a major illness for half a month, as her own son.
But even so, watching Wang Hong grow up year by year, it still can't make up for the physical and mental shortcomings caused by her inability to be a mother.
has lived in such an emotional absence for more than ten years, as if the favor given to her by Wang Chi has also changed, and it has become no longer a love that makes her feel sweet, but a kind of pity that makes her feel sour, and even a charity that makes her feel tired.
Without children, there is no love that needs to be waited for and precipitated, and she began to chase the lingering and uncertain hatred in her heart.
How can we completely dispel the soul that lives in Wang Chi's heart?
After more than ten years of observation and consideration, Concubine Xiao Wanting gradually firmly believed that it was necessary to scrape off all the ties left by the 'woman' in the world, so that Wang Chi could really forget the 'female'.
A chill appeared in Xiao Wanting's slightly lowered eyes, and it gradually dissipated after a long time.
Let's wait a few more days.
When Li Gai, the commander of the fifth group, leaves Beijing, with the prime minister's ability to do things, even if he does not have military power, he can still paralyze the speed of the activities of the members of the fifth group, and forgive the remnant of the sin for 'inserting' wings and making it difficult to fly.
The wicked man surnamed Lin is still thousands of miles away, and has become a sick man with only half a life left, and it is expected that he will lack skills and will no longer be able to resist anything for the evil obstacle in the capital.
As for Wang Chi, he is a hard-working emperor, who really regards the affairs of millions of people as his own business, and for such a monarch, if the prime minister wants him to stay in the court or the imperial study all day, ten fingers are not enough.
Thinking of some kind of generally predictable state of affairs, the resentment in Xiao Wanting's heart was able to subside a little.
At this point, her eyes moved away from her lower abdomen.
And as soon as she raised her head slightly, she just met the gaze that Wang Chi threw at her.
It was as if he was sorting out some secret things, and these things were regarded as 'yin', but at this moment, someone suddenly pushed the 'door' in, and finally saw this qiΔ clearly at a glance...... Concubine Xiao Wanting was shocked in her heart and pulled it hard.
Looking at his wife's hand covering her abdomen and frowning slightly, Wang Chi didn't see the coldness in her slightly drooping eyes just now, and only thought that she was feeling unwell at this time. Although he was really in a state of physical discomfort, he was suddenly woken up by a dull pain in his chest and abdomen just now, but he didn't like to lie down and talk, so he sat up, looked at his wife, and asked lovingly: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" β
Xiao Wanting hurriedly took a step closer, pulled a cushion at the corner of the couch, put it behind her husband's back, and then squatted down next to the couch again.
She raised her face slightly to meet the concerned gaze cast by her husband, but based on her state of mind at the moment, she didn't think it was a concern, but a kind of inquiry. She didn't know when Wang Chi woke up, and whether he had seen the 'dew' of her thoughts just now, so for a while, she didn't know what kind of answer was the most natural.
Considering that the emperor's visit to the Southern Courtyard this time was a bit special, not to have a secret conversation with a certain important minister, but to be in good health and need to recuperate, after the imperial doctor completed the diagnosis, the palace servants who had been 'serving' their masters for many years cleverly replaced all the lampstands in the inner room with light yellow tulle lampshades. The light in the room suddenly softens, but it also makes the interior look a little like a mist.
After looking at each other quietly for a moment, Wang Chi said softly: "If there is anything uncomfortable, don't delay, the imperial doctor is in the South Courtyard." β
Xiao Wanting understood that Wang Chi had misunderstood the meaning of her behavior, so she probably didn't notice what she was in the mood just now, and she was secretly relieved.
"The concubine is fine, but the emperor, today's trip out will quickly scare the concubine's heart out of her throat." Xiao Wanting's gentle eyebrows furrowed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of worry, and her tone of voice gradually became the kind of love and affection between husband and wife, "What's wrong with you?" The 'color' of the face is so bad, and the hands are a little cold, where is the injury? Those imperial doctors, afraid of responsibility, all of them talked half of their ......"
"Wan'er, I'm out of the way, don't worry too much." Wang Chi looked at his wife's frowning appearance, and his heart was soft. But the injury he suffered outside the palace today was also injured in the heart, and this heart-moving thought would affect the injury, and the dull pain in the 'chest' and abdomen would also deepen. couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, Wang Chi grabbed his wife's hand resting on the edge of the couch, gently pressed it on the painful position of his 'chest', and then said, "Come, you sit next to me." It's uncomfortable here, you can 'rub' it and maybe it will be much better. β
Hearing this, Xiao Wanting hurriedly got up, climbed onto the royal couch, and sat side by side with her husband, and then she leaned sideways to gently 'rub' it for him. With the shaking of her arms, the beaded 'jade' dress on her body and the string of golden hairpins and tassels on her temples also shook gently, and the high-grade pearl 'jade' gently collided, making a crisp and crisp sound.
Wang Chi breathed a sigh of relief slowly and silently. Xiao Wanting's hands are well maintained, and the hands that don't need to do any physical labor, and the small knuckles are softer, but under the massage of such a pair of hands, the kind of weird internal injuries he suffered can actually play a very little good role.
At most, it is just by relying on the gentle touch of the skin to temporarily cover some of the dull pain that is entwined in the heart veins, which is also a symptom but not a cure.
But at this moment, Wang Chi felt comfortable, and his tense 'spirit' because of the self-suppression of the pain slowed down slightly, and he subconsciously leaned towards his wife's side shoulder. However, he only leaned on for a while, and then sat up straight again, because the splendid pearl 'jade' on his wife's gorgeous dress was too embarrassing.
In the past, she and Xiao Wanting were sleeping or lying or sitting, she was all hairpins, green silk was scattered, and her thin shirt lined her skin, but this time it was a little different. Because the pain in the heart has been slightly alleviated, Wang Chi can also think about a few questions with more 'spirit', and he suddenly has a new understanding of "luxury hinders people's physical and mental distance".
Concubine Xiao Wanting noticed her husband's move of leaning over but quickly sitting upright and going back, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing." Wang Chi withdrew his aimless gaze towards the 'door', looked at his wife and smiled, and said: "It's not early, you are also tired, you don't have to accompany me, so you can't rest well." β
Xiao Wanting saw a strong tiredness in her husband's somewhat distracted eyes, she knew that he was actually tired, so she obeyed his wishes, gently admonished a few times, and left the South Compound.
In fact, as far as today's point is concerned, Concubine De Xiao Wanting should be the person who will not feel tired.
For something that had been planned for several years and should have started today, Xiao Wanting kept her 'essence' for a few days. But she was going to lose sleep tonight, because what she wanted to do was not finished, to be precise, before she started to do it, she was forcibly interrupted for some reason.
Today's Wang Chi is physically unbearable due to the pain, and his 'spirit' spirit has also been dragged to a slumber, and he has not been tired for a long time. In the past, he dealt with heavy state affairs, and it was not that he didn't feel tired, but he was physically strong and had a fiery enthusiasm for this new country, so he could hold on. And today, for the first time since ascending the throne, the cornerstone of the body has been shaken by external forces, and this fatigue that has been suppressed seems to have erupted like a torrent.
And among the people in the palace today, the second person who will feel very tired should be the second prince Wang Hong.
One night a few days ago, because of the assassination incident in the palace, although the second prince Wang Hong was only injured on one hand, he suffered a lot of blood loss. The palace people of the entire Huayang Palace have carefully served the 'servants' and recuperated for a few days, and Wang Hong's face is still a little pale.
His physical condition is already extremely poor, and he has only recovered in the last two or three years, and he is no longer so prone to illness. But that doesn't mean he's really strong, in fact, his physique is still much weaker than his peers.
His injuries hadn't healed yet, and he hadn't recovered so much blood and qi that he had lost, so he galloped out of the palace in this physical condition, and finally broke the wound on his hand for the second time. Although some bleeding was prevented because of the cloth belt wrapped around his hand, and he was bandaged soon after returning to the palace, the situation seemed to be quite good, but at night, Wang Hong's body gradually became hot again, and his forehead was cold.
nbsp; After using a little ginseng soup and washing up briefly, the second prince Wang Hong was really tired of reading and homework for half an hour every night, and went to bed early. However, he only slept for a while, and kept dreaming of scattered and broken dreams, when the dream suddenly stopped in a picture, and he woke up.
As he sat up in shock, his injured hand unconsciously pressed heavily on the edge of the couch, the soft silk mattress became hard, and the sharp pain like a tear in the wound in the palm of his hand spread across his arm and into his heart, reminding him of the separation between reality and dreams.
A fine layer of cold sweat had once again oozed from his forehead.
But he did not notice this, for his gaze naturally fell on the knee-high brocade quilt, which was covered with a square cloth. It was evident that the veil had been folded into a long section at first, and as it slid off his forehead as he sat up suddenly, the fold was half loose.
Wang Hong stretched out his hand to pick up the handkerchief, twisted his fingertips, and felt that the handkerchief was an extremely simple cotton fabric, with a slightly damp coolness.
After he fell asleep, the light in the dormitory was blown out, leaving only one corner of the room that did not interfere with sleep, but the light was so weak that it could almost be ignored. However, today, the palace 'maid' who was on duty in the dormitory vigil had already heard the sound from the couch, and through the faint light of the ever-bright lamp, through the thin gauze tent, the palace 'maid' saw that the second highness had woken up, and immediately opened her eyes that had been 'covered' sleepy, and asked softly: "Your Highness, do you need slaves and maids to serve 'serving'?" β
Wang Hong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Palm lamp, you come here." β
When the palace 'girl' heard the second prince call her over, her tone was extremely simple and direct, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and hurriedly lit the triangular glass lamp on the table, and approached the couch with the lampstand.
The triangular glazed lamp has a total of three candles, and the light is reflected by the crystal glazed lampstand base, just lighting this lamp, but every corner of the dormitory suddenly brightened.
With this bright light, Wang Hong saw clearly the cotton handkerchief in his hand, the handkerchief is the simplest cotton natural 'color', but in the white 'color' on the whole face, a small red 'flower' petal embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief is extremely conspicuous.
Wang Hong's gaze only stopped on the 'flower' petals, but his heart suddenly 'twitched', and his hand holding the cotton handkerchief with two fingers also trembled, and then the whole palm of his hand 'kneaded' the handkerchief into the palm of his hand.
The excessively bright light of the glass lamp also illuminated the pale face of the second prince and the forehead oozing a fine sweat, and the palace 'girl' who held the lamp could see this clearly even if she stood outside the silk tent. The palace 'girl' was very worried, after all, this prince was usually quite friendly to their slaves, which could not help but make people feel grateful, but at this time she didn't know what to do.
The second prince's health has always been very poor, and even the imperial doctor sometimes can't do it.
After standing for a while, the palace 'girl' naturally saw what the second prince seemed to be holding in his hand, and kept this action all the time, and did not say anything again. The palace 'girl' was surprised in her heart, and couldn't help but whisper curiously: "Your Highness, what are you holding?" β
The second prince Wang Hong came back to his senses, a trace of amazement appeared on his face, and then he turned his eyes to look at the palace 'girl' who was holding the lamp, spread his fist to support the cotton handkerchief, and said lightly: "Is this what you put on the forehead of the palace?" β
The palace 'girl' hurriedly shook her head and said respectfully: "The slave and maid have been guarding the corner of the room, Your Highness has said before that you sleep shallowly, so you don't like people to come close to disturb, the slave and maid have always remembered it and dare not disobey." β
After glancing at the cotton handkerchief a few times, she added: "This handkerchief doesn't look like an item in the palace, it's too plain." β
Wang Hong's eyes moved, and he said, "Do you also think that this veil is not a thing in the palace?" β
When the palace 'girl' heard his words, she thought of the bloodshed that happened in the palace a few days ago, she seemed to realize something, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a "bang", and suddenly said: "It's the slave and maid who has a lot of mouths, and she should ...... her mouth."
As she knelt, the glass lamp in her hand flickered, shaking the bright light, and at this moment, Wang Hong seemed to vaguely see a figure flashing in a corner of the dormitory.
"Okay, just ask you to hold the lamp, and then hold the lamp steady, it has nothing to do with calling you the palm mouth." Wang Hong breathed a sigh of relief softly, seeing that the corners of the palace 'girl's eyes were drooping, she was sleepy, obviously she didn't seem to have come to serve herself just now. After thinking about the figure he seemed to see just now, he said again: "You go to the 'door', if the palace doesn't summon you, don't come in." β
Hearing his words, the palace 'girl' felt a little less frightened, but she was very suspicious. She was a little incomprehensible, the second prince suddenly asked her to hold the lamp and approach the couch, just to look at her? She vaguely felt that it should be that the second prince was going to tell her something, but for some reason she suddenly canceled it.
She was a little uneasy, and just before turning around and going out, she asked softly: "Your Highness, are you really fine?" β
"It's okay, you go out, and tell the people outside not to come in and disturb." Wang Hong raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead casually, and then put the cotton handkerchief back into his sleeve, and then lay down and continued to sleep.
His Royal Highness the prince has said that Cheng dΓΉ, and the palace 'girl' will be bad in the brain if she stays longer.
And when the palace 'girl' who held the lamp came out of the dormitory and gently closed the big 'door', Wang Hong, who had just laid down on the couch in the dormitory, sat up again.
After sitting quietly for a while, and when the dizziness in his mind faded, he lifted the quilt, lifted the silk tent with one hand, and removed his feet to take off his shoes. And at this moment, he suddenly felt a light breeze blowing, which was really abnormal in the closed room, and he subconsciously raised his head, and met a pair of eyes that were also looking at it flatly.
"Little Star?"
Although the light line in the corner of the dormitory was extremely weak, Wang Hong could only see the general facial features of the person standing in front of him, but he still saw her identity from her familiar standing posture and body shape at a very fast speed.
"Your Highness......"
The figure immediately replied to him.
His heart suddenly swelled with great joy. Slightly stunned for a moment, he couldn't wait to put on his shoes, just stood barefoot on the cold ground, suddenly stood up from the edge of the couch, and hugged the thin figure in front of him into his arms.
His arms wrapped around her shoulders, Wang Hong only felt that the person in his arms was thinner than three years ago, he felt a slight pain in his heart, and sighed: "You are finally back, it is good that you can come back, and it will be fine as soon as you want......"
"However, Your Highness, you don't look very good right now."
Hearing the words of the person in her arms, Wang Hong slowly let go of the arms that were bound on her shoulders, moved her face back to front of her, and said with a happy smile in her eyes, "I'm fine." You haven't been back for three years, so I don't know, but everyone else knows, and my body has gradually grown up a bit. β
Under the dim light of the long lamp in the corner, Xiaoxing, a thin 'female' with curly hair and a coarse cloth dress, did not say anything immediately, but raised her hand and put it on Wang Hong's shoulders and gently pressed him to sit down. Then she squatted down in front of him, first raised her palm to her mouth and sighed, then rubbed it quickly, and then held Wang Hong's bare feet on the ground, and slowly 'rubbed' them.
"Your Highness can't look like this, you'll get sick." The thin cloth skirt 'female' Xiaoxing finished 'rubbing' Wang Hong's left foot, and began to 'rub' his right foot again, "It's still like this, my feet are always not hot at night, and now it's the warm 'spring' season." β
Feeling the familiar 'rubbing' finger press from under his feet, Wang Hong became more and more sure that the 'female' figure in the dim light was not the phantom shadow in the dream, but his little star had really returned.
As for why she suddenly appeared in his dormitory, and the palace people inside and outside the dormitory were all unaware, according to what he knew about Xiaoxing's light and agile skills, it was not difficult for her to do this. There are several long-term palace people in Huayang Palace who know Xiaoxing's other identity, and they will inevitably help Xiaoxing to avoid Yu Linwei, who patrols the palace several ways.
At this moment of regain, Wang Hong was full of joy, and he only felt that nothing could be difficult to get him at this time. So when he heard Xiaoxing say that, he just smiled lightly: "If you walk around more during the day, it will naturally be warmer." Do you know? I have been practicing boxing for three years, and now I can lift 30 pounds with my left hand, and more with my right hand, I can lift 45 pounds, and I have learned to ride a horse, which is not like before......"
"Xiaoxing knows." The 'girl' who was squatting in front of her feet stood up and said slowly: "Your Highness rode out of the palace today, and Xiaoxing also saw it. At that time, I was really happy, but when I saw that you had a cloth belt wrapped around your hand, and it was beginning to ooze red stains, I was so worried that I finally couldn't help but sneak into the palace to see if you were doing well. β
Wang Hong's mood fluctuated for a while, and she imagined her difficult life in the dry and sandy land to the north, and then asked, "When did you come back?" Listen to the meaning of your words, if you hadn't seen me riding out of the palace today and saw my injured hand, you wouldn't have come to the palace to see me? β
"I arrived in Kyoto six days ago." Xiaoxing answered truthfully, but when she heard the second half of what Wang Hong said just now, she couldn't help but feel sour, and after pursing her lips and enduring it for a while, she finally spoke: "Xiaoxing was convicted and left the palace three years ago, how can you come back at will?" If it is discovered, will it bring trouble to His Highness again? Seeing that His Royal Highness was in better health than before, Xiaoxing was able to leave with peace of mind. Now that His Highness has been able to take care of himself, whether there is a small star by his side or not is no longer a matter of how important it is. β
"What do you mean by that?" The joy on Wang Hong's face gradually cooled, "Are you really planning not to come back?" β
Xiao Xing lowered his head slightly, he couldn't bear to see the change in the eyes of the second prince from hot to cold, and only replied slowly: "Of course Xiao Xing must come back once, what His Royal Highness ordered three years ago, Xiao Xing must complete the last step." β
"You know that's not what I'm asking now." From the moment he found out that Xiaoxing appeared in his dormitory just now, Wang Hong's tone of voice was very gentle, but at this time, his mood fluctuated, and he didn't care whether the palace people guarding outside the dormitory would hear the sound and come in, and his voice unconsciously rose sharply, "The sin you received three years ago was originally designed by me, and now that the things I told you have been done, even if I don't reward you for anything, at least I will find a way to wash away your sin and take you back to me." But why do you say those things? You don't want to come back? β
His voice reached this point, and finally attracted the attention of several palace people guarding the 'door' of the dormitory, and one of them couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, has something happened?" Do you want to be served? β
The voice of the second prince Wang Hong immediately 'shot' through the crack in the 'door', and there was obviously a trace of anger in his tone: "Everyone outside the 'door' will take ten steps back from the palace!" β
Several palace people trembled when they heard this, and they rarely saw His Royal Highness angry, so his anger was also very weighty, and one sentence made the two palace 'women' and a eunuch outside the palace retreat in one breath. After retreating to the big 'gate' outside the main hall, only ten steps were counted, and the three palace people and the 'attendants' at the entrance of the 'gate' looked at each other for a while, and only then did they come back to their senses.
There are two walls between the large 'gate' and the inner room of the dormitory, and the people inside cannot be heard from the outside, and the movement outside is the same to the people inside. After hesitating for a moment, the 'squire' guard on the left side of the 'door' couldn't help but ask with a suspicious look: "Why did you all come out?" Don't have a vigil today? β
The eunuch who had withdrawn from the dormitory only shook his head and said nothing.
And the palace 'girl', who was originally on duty to keep vigil in the inner room of the dormitory today, but was called out after inexplicably holding the lamp, said curiously: "I seemed to hear His Highness talking to someone just now, and then I suddenly looked very angry......
"Oh......" Before the words of the 'girl' of the Palm Lantern Palace were finished, the 'attendant' who asked the question seemed to understand something, and let out a deep 'groan'.
Now it was the turn of the 'girl' of the Palm Lantern Palace to be curious, and she couldn't help asking, "What do you say, what is going on?" Could it be that His Highness is talking in his dreams? But I have only been out of it for a short time, how can His Highness immediately fall asleep and dream......"
Before the palace 'girl' finished speaking, she heard the 'waiter' and the eunuch say in unison: "What you don't know, just continue to treat it as if you don't know!" β
The palace girl's pupils shrank, and she really didn't dare to say anything more, but just cowardly muttered a few words, and then closed her mouth tightly.
In the inner room of the dormitory, the silent gaze between the second prince Wang Hong and the 'girl' of the cloth skirt Xiaoxing continued.
After being silent like this for a long time, Xiao Xing slowly raised his head, and did not give any explanation or explanation, but said in a rather sad tone: "Your Highness, don't be angry, it's not worth it...... Today's little star is for you, I ...... I can't do anything for you anymore......"
Wang Hong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he seemed to be able to foresee something extremely bad, his heart froze, he took a deep breath to calm the 'spirit', and then said, "What's wrong with you?" β
Xiao Xing sighed faintly, didn't speak, just took out a fire fold from his sleeve and blew it in front of his eyes.
Although the light of the fire is not as bright as the triangular glass lamp, it is enough to illuminate the face of a 'woman' clearly.
And at the moment when the familiar face in front of him became clear, the second prince Wang Hong suddenly stood up from the couch, his face was shocked, and his habitual pursed lips trembled a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
The face of the 'female' in front of her is still so thin, so her chin is very delicate; her eyebrows are still not as graceful as those of ordinary 'female', but she shows a strong temperament; she is still the little star with single eyelids, she looks very sincere when she smiles, and when she doesn't smile, she looks serious, but ...... Now she has a square scar on the left corner of her forehead!
The scar was about the size of a 'jade' brand buckle, and the different 'color' was distinct......
"How so?" After being stunned for a moment, Wang Hong suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Xiaoxing's thin shoulders that had begun to tremble slightly, and as soon as the sentence fell, he immediately asked, "Who did it?!" β
He didn't ask her what caused the scar on her forehead that broke her appearance, but asked directly who did it, and his tone was full of the meaning of settling accounts with the thief and avenging her.
Xiaoxing understood what he meant, and a warm feeling of 'excitement' suddenly rose in her heart, but she could only sigh again and slowly tell her what happened to her in the north.
Listening to her talk about the middle of the way, the second prince Wang Hong was already out of breath, and by the time she finished telling all the experiences in the north since she left Beijing for three years, Wang Hong's standing body was already shaky. At this moment, the fire in Xiao Xing's hand had burned out and extinguished, and the room suddenly went dark, and Wang Hong's eyes were suddenly dark.
Xiaoxing is a person who practices martial arts, and her vision is sharper than ordinary people, and her eyesight quickly got rid of the false blindness symptoms caused by the sudden brightness of light, and she saw the figure of the man in front of her swaying, and then fell softly.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Xing was shocked, shook off the end of the fire fold pinched by his fingertips, and grabbed Wang Hong's arm.
She wanted to hold him, but unexpectedly, when he fainted, he was completely out of strength, and the weight of his body was so heavy that she couldn't support it, and dragged her to the couch together.
Xiaoxing wanted to hold Wang Hong, but she didn't expect that in the end, she took her own weight and pressed in front of Wang Hong's chest, and the two fell on the couch together, making a dull bang.
Listening to Wang Hong's rapid breathing, she also felt that his 'chest' was rising and falling sharply in front of her chest, Xiaoxing's heart suddenly seemed to be fried on boiling oil, she quickly climbed away from his 'chest', sat on the couch next to him, and nervously called several times: "Your Highness!" Your Highness! β
If it weren't for the palace people who stayed in the inner room of the dormitory and were called outside the hall by Wang Hong one step earlier, separated by two walls, those palace people might have broken in immediately when they heard such a movement in the house.
Wang Hong fell on the couch with the weight of Xiaoxing's body, this fall was not easy, the dull pain from his back, and the stinging pain from his injured hand could quickly make him wake up.
However, as soon as he regained his senses, all the things he had just learned from Xiaoxing's account would come to his mind together, making him feel as if he was pressing a big stone on his head, and even breathing would have to use twice as much strength as usual.
Xiao Xing was rubbing his lungs with both hands, hoping that doing so would make his rapid breathing a little smoother. Seeing him wake up with his eyes open, she was also slightly relieved, and she was really scared silly at that moment just now.
Seeing him galloping during the day, she only felt that he seemed to be a different person than before. This change that happened to him made her feel both happy and lonely, and maybe he could live well without her service in the future.
But I didn't expect that as soon as she came back, she made him angry like this again! It was as if he had immediately retreated from his heroic appearance during the day to the state of weakness and infirmity a few years ago.
Could it be that not only does he not need her care now, but if he is not by his side, he can live a healthier and happier life? ββ
