- Considering that the emperor's visit to the Southern Courtyard was a bit special, not to have a secret conversation with an important minister, but to be in poor health and need to recuperate, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis, the palace servants who had been serving their masters for many years shrewdly 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 indoor environment 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." ”

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 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-stirring thought would affect the injury, and the dull pain in his 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 in his chest, and then said, "Come, you sit next to me." It's uncomfortable here, you rub it, maybe it will be much better. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wanting hurriedly got up, climbed onto the couch, and sat side by side with her husband, and then she rubbed it sideways for him. With the shaking of her arms, her jewel and jade dress, and the string of gold hairpin tassels on her temples also shook gently, and the high-grade pearls and jades 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 her hands don't need to do much physical labor, and the small knuckles are softer. But under such a pair of hands massage, the kind of weird internal injuries he suffered can actually play a very little good role.

At most, it was only by the gentle touch of the fingers that temporarily covered some of the dull pain that was entwined in the heart veins. This is also a palliative rather than a cure.

But finally in this moment, Wang Chi felt comfortable, his tense spirit slowed down a little because of the self-suppression of the pain, and he subconsciously leaned towards his wife's side shoulder. However, he leaned on it for a while, and then sat up straight again, because the splendid jewels on his wife's gorgeous dress were too embarrassing.

In the past, she was sleeping or sitting with Xiao Wanting, and she was all hairpins, with green silk hanging and thin shirts. And this time it's a little different. Because the pain in the heart has been slightly alleviated, Wang Chi can also think about a few more questions mentally, and he suddenly has a new understanding of "luxury hinders the distance between people's body and mind".

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?" ”

"Nothing." Wang Chi withdrew his gaze from aimlessly casting himself to the door. looked at his wife and smiled, and said, "It's not early, and you're tired, so you don't have to accompany me, so you won't have a good rest." ”

Xiao Wanting saw a strong tiredness in her husband's somewhat distracted eyes, and she knew that he was actually tired, so she complied with his wishes. After a few gentle admonitions, he said goodbye 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 recuperated for a few days. But she was going to lose sleep tonight, because she hadn't finished what she wanted to do. To be precise, it was forcibly interrupted for some reason before it was started.

Today's Wang Chi is not only physically unbearable due to the pain, but also his spirit has been dragged to a strain, and he has not been so tired for a long time. In the past, he handled heavy state affairs. It's not that he doesn't feel tired, it's just that he is physically strong and has a fiery enthusiasm for this new country, so he can 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 served carefully and recuperated for a few days, but Wang Hong's face was 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.

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 scattered and broken dreams, when the dream suddenly stopped in a scene, 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, the maid who was on duty in the dormitory for the night today had already heard the sound from the couch, through the thin gauze tent by the faint light of the everlasting lamp. When the palace maid saw that His Royal Highness had woken up, she immediately opened her sleepy eyes and asked softly, "Your Highness, do you need slaves and maids to serve?" ”

Wang Hong hesitated slightly. Then he said: "Zhanglan, you come here." ”

As soon as the palace maid 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 shining, Wang Hong saw clearly the cotton handkerchief in his hand. The veil is the simplest cotton color, but in the white of the whole face, a small red petal embroidered on the corner of the veil is very conspicuous.

Wang Hong's gaze only stopped on the petals, but his heart suddenly tightened, and his hand holding the cotton handkerchief with two fingers also trembled. Then the whole palm of his hand rubbed 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 maid holding the lamp could see this clearly even if she stood outside the silk tent. The palace maid 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 moment. The palace maid 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 maid was surprised in her heart, and couldn't help but whisper curiously: "Your Highness, what are you holding?" ”

The second prince, Wang Hong, came back to his senses, and a trace of amazement appeared on his face. Then he turned his eyes to look at the palace maid who was holding the lamp, spread his fists to hold the square cotton handkerchief, and said lightly: "Is this what you put on the forehead of the palace?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly shook her head and said respectfully: "The slave maid has been guarding the corner of the room, Your Highness has said it before." You sleep lightly, so you don't like people to come near to disturb you, and the slave always remembers it and doesn't dare to disobey it. ”

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." ”

Wang Hong's eyes moved, and he said, "Do you also think that this veil is not a thing in the palace?" ”

When the palace maid 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 who has a lot of mouths, and she should ...... her mouth."

As she knelt, the glass lamp in her hand flickered, swaying 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 maid's eyes were drooping, and she was sleepy, obviously she didn't seem to have come to serve her just now. After thinking about the figure he seemed to be dazzled by just now, he said again: "You go to the door, if the palace doesn't summon you, don't come in." ”

Hearing this, the palace maid's panic in her heart decreased slightly, but she was very puzzled. 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?" ”

"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 when it comes to this Cheng dù, no matter how much the palace maid stays, her brain will be broken.

And when the palace maid who held the lamp came out of the dormitory and gently closed the 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 and stand barefoot on the cold ground like that. Suddenly, he stood up from the edge of the couch and hugged the thin figure in front of him into his arms.

With his arms around her shoulders, Wang Hong only felt that the person in his arms was thinner than three years ago, and he felt a slight pain in his heart. sighed: "You're finally back, it's good if you can come back, it's going to be okay as soon as you can......"

"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 you don't know, but everyone else knows. My body has gradually grown up a bit. ”

Under the dim light of the lantern in the corner, Xiaoxing, a thin woman with curled 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 crouched down in front of him. first raised his palm to his mouth and sighed, then quickly rubbed it, 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." Xiaoxing, a woman with a thin cloth skirt, finished rubbing Wang Hong's left foot, and began to rub his right foot again, "It's still like this." It's not warm to cover your feet at night, and it's already warm spring season. ”

Feeling the familiar kneading of his fingers under his feet, Wang Hong became more and more sure that the figure of this woman in the dim light was not the phantom in the dream, but that his little star had really returned.

As for why she suddenly appeared in his dormitory, the palace people inside and outside the dormitory were 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 loss and recovery, Wang Hong's heart was full of joy. I just feel that nothing can 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 woman 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. ”

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? ”

"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. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The joy on Wang Hong's face gradually cooled, "Are you really planning not to come back?" ”

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." ”

"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? ”

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? ”

The voice of the second prince Wang Hong immediately came out of the crack in the door, and there was obviously a trace of anger in his tone: "Everyone outside the door. Give this palace another ten steps back! ”

Several palace people trembled when they heard this, and they rarely saw His Second Highness angry, so his anger was also very weighty, and one sentence made the two palace maids and a eunuch outside the palace retreat in one breath. Retreat to the outer gate of the main hall. After only ten steps, the three palace people and the guards at the door looked at each other for a while, and only then did they come back to their senses.

There are two walls between the entrance 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 guard on the left side of the door couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression, "Why did you all come out?" Don't have a vigil today? ”

The eunuch who had withdrawn from the dormitory only shook his head and said nothing.

And the palace maid, 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 lady of the lantern palace finished speaking, the guard who asked the question seemed to understand something. There was a deep groan.

Now it was the turn of the palace maid who held the lamp to be curious, and she couldn't help asking, "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 maid finished speaking, she heard the guard and the eunuch say in unison: "What you don't know." Just continue to pretend that you don't know! ”

The palace maid'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 cloth skirt woman 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. just 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, and his heart froze. He took a deep breath and strengthened his spirit, and then said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

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 fold is not as bright as the triangular glass lamp, it is as bright as day. But it is enough to take a clear look at a woman's face.

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 woman in front of her is still so thin, so the pointed chin is very delicate; Her eyebrows are still not as graceful as those of ordinary women, but they show a strong temperament; She is still the little star with one eyelid, she looks sincere when she smiles, and she looks serious when she doesn't smile, but she ...... Now she has a square scar on the left corner of her forehead!

The scar was about the size of a jade buckle, and it was distinctly colored......

"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?!" ”

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 warmth of gratitude 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 account of the halfway point, 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 too heavy for her to support. dragged her to the couch with her.

Xiaoxing wanted to hold Wang Hong, but she didn't expect that in the end, she took her own weight and pressed on Wang Hong's chest, and the two fell on the couch together. There was a dull thumping sound.

Listening to Wang Hong's rapid breathing, and feeling his chest rising and falling sharply in front of his 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! ”

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, and this fall was not easy. The dull pain in his back, as well as the stinging pain in his injured hand, could quickly bring him to his senses.

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 a big stone was pressing on his heart. Even breathing has to be twice as strong 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 happy. It also made her feel a little lonely, 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.

Not only does he not need her care now, but he also doesn't have her by his side. Can he live a healthier and happier life?

A trace of bitterness slipped through Xiaoxing's heart, and the thought of leaving in his heart became even firmer.

And before leaving, she had to perfect the last step for the task he had given him three years ago.

Knowing that Wang Hong's mood fluctuated at this time, I was afraid that I would not be able to hear the news that stimulated my nerves. Xiao Xing silently pondered for a moment, classified the news she had found in the north in the past three years, suppressed the bad news for the time being, picked a few things that should make him feel gratified, and said gently: "In the past three years, Xiao Xing has been staying in the north, although he has suffered some hardships, but the harvest is not small. What His Highness wants to know most about that Mr. Lin, Xiaoxing has already ......"

Xiaoxing's words had just come to this, and before she reached the key point that she thought was worth rejoicing, she heard Wang Hong suddenly open her mouth and mutter: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for my idea, you wouldn't have gone to the north, and you wouldn't have met the Northern Goose's rangers and been taken captive and suffered from a year in prison...... It's all my fault......"

Xiao Xing heard his muttering self-blame, and there was a pang of pain in her heart at first, but gradually, her eyes became firm, looking at Wang Hong's somewhat detached eyes, and said seriously: "Your Highness! Have you forgotten who you are? It seems that you have forgotten the thing you have been waiting for and holding on. ”

What she said, the first half of the sentence was asked, and the second half of the sentence was answered for Wang Hong without waiting for the question. This half-questioning and half-self-explained sentence has a subtle meaning, although it is quite rude, but it is more effective than any gentle words and consolation, and immediately reminded Wang Hong of one thing.

Wang Hong's eyes were fixed, and then he struggled to get up.

Xiaoxing held his shoulders and asked him to sit up, lifted the quilt to cover his lap, and then pulled the two embroidered pillows at the corner of the couch behind him so that he could sit more comfortably, and then she got off the couch and stood only on the side.

After straightening the corners of his hair and clothes, Xiao Xing continued: "Regarding the matter of Mr. Lin, in the first two years when he went to the north, because the burn area on his back was too large, he was very sick, and he was in bed for more than a year to recuperate. After escaping from prison, I lost contact with the messenger with whom I had been in contact, and it was extremely difficult to return to Kyoto from the north, so I simply did not think about the gradual correspondence, but patiently lived near the residence where the gentleman was recuperating, and kept a daily observation. ”

At this point, after a pause in his voice, Xiao Xing bent his arm and took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Wang Hong with both hands.

Wang Hong took the booklet, his fingertips seemed to be able to touch a little of Xiaoxing's body temperature from the cover of the booklet, and he didn't open the booklet immediately. Instead, he asked slowly, "Tell me briefly, how is Lin Shan's now?" ”

Xiao Xing nodded and continued: "Mr. Lin's physical condition was the most dangerous in the first half of the year when he first arrived in the north, and he really entered the healing period of burns after half a year. Once the wound was completely sealed, his recovery speed became faster. I was freed in October last year, when Mr. Lin was already taking care of his affairs, and by the beginning of the year, his diet and outings were basically normal. ”

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. It was like the sound of a fist smashing against 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 stop it. But compared to Xiaoxing's agility, he is 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 has taken the initiative to find out. It's a little bit of a thing I can't hide.

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 the style of a small star. If he found a waiter 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 barely reached the corner of the screen, and had not yet had time to see what was going on. Change and birth!

This time, the accident came 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 sleeping at night was the most prone to illness and trouble. 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, it is normal for her to worry about her injured husband and her son who has not recovered from his injuries.

Of course, Wang Hong would not have any objections to Concubine De's visit at night, and he should have expected this matter a long time ago. During the day, when he was riding a horse, his hand was torn open twice, and when he was rebandaged at the imperial doctor, the gentleman kept his face tense from beginning to end, to show his concern for the second prince's hand, and to faintly reproach.

On the surface, it was just a cut in the palm of the hand with a sharp weapon, but in fact, the wound was too deep and hurt the periosteum of the hand. When bandaging for the first time, the imperial doctor opened the crack and cleaned it, and he could see the white bone joints inside. 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.
