Chapter 240: Mother and Son
The eldest prince was about to shrink his whole body into the shadows, but he saw the frightened palace man biting his lip and lifting the palace lamp, the eldest prince wanted to ask her what to do, the palace man had already walked forward cautiously, from one side of the inner hall to the other, the palace lamp in his hand illuminated every corner, and when he came back from a walk, his face was already full of relaxed smiles, "Don't be afraid, nothing." ”
The eldest prince nodded unconsciously.
The palace man said in a low voice: "The eldest prince, you can rest!" ”
The eldest prince lay down again, but looking at the lamp in front of him, he didn't want the palace people to take it away, he didn't know how to express his thoughts, the palace people had already put the lamp on the low table, and he was also sitting down on his feet.
The eldest prince was very satisfied.
The newcomer looked clumsy, but he knew his mind very well.
But when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would be scared and couldn't sleep anymore, and when he looked at the palace man again, the palace man couldn't help but yawn, and his eyes showed tiredness and confusion.
Somehow looking at that gaze, the eldest prince also felt that his eyes were sour, and he was sleepy again.
Sleepy.
So sleepy.
He couldn't open his eyes, but as long as he closed his eyes, he felt that something terrible was approaching him in a place he couldn't see.
He couldn't help but want to open his eyes again, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
In a daze, he felt that someone was staring at him, and those eyes were so bright in the dark, no matter how much he moved, those eyes were staring at him tightly and not letting go.
He shook his head in a panic, trying to shake those eyes away. but he could not move half a minute.
I don't know how long it took, someone shouted softly, "The Great Prince." ”
All of a sudden, his body was able to move. The tightly held hand was also released instantly, and the eyes staring at him gradually moved away from him, and when he opened his eyes for a long time, the room was still as quiet as before, and the new palace man was still dozing off the side of the bed, and the palace lamp emitted a pale yellow light.
The child, who had woken up from the nightmare, exhaled softly, then carefully retracted into the quilt.
The Grand Prince's breathing became even again. The newcomer slowly stood up from the side of the bed, bent down to lift the palace lamp, and walked out of the inner room. As soon as he walked to the door, someone from the palace immediately came to take over.
As soon as the day dawned, the queen mother's Yongshou Palace was busy, changed her clothes, and the queen sat down and took a sip of tea. Zhen Siji, who was in the emperor's womb, led the new palace maid into the door.
The maid stepped forward and saluted.
Although wearing the clothes of the palace people. Throwing shows a beauty different from others, the facial features seem delicate, but every move is calm and calm.
The queen mother bowed slightly, if she hadn't seen Miss Yao Qi a few times, she would never believe He Jizhong's words, and she would not let the palace people quietly pass Yao Wanning into the palace, and arrange her to be by the eldest prince's side according to what Yao Wanning said.
The Queen Mother thought of this. With a calm expression, he spoke, "How is the eldest prince's illness?" Can it be cured? ”
Wan Ning nodded. Without the slightest hesitation, "As long as you find the crux of the problem, you will be cured." ”
Neither the Tai Hospital nor the He family had cured any cured diseases, but in Miss Yao Qi's mouth, it was said so lightly.
The queen looked at Yao Wanning calmly, "So the prescriptions of the Tai Hospital and the He family are not used correctly?" ”
Wan Ning shook her head, "It's not that it's wrong, but there is no right symptom, as long as the eldest prince's heart knot is still there, it is not the root of the disease." ”
"Heart knots?" The queen frowned slightly.
What kind of heart knot will an immature child have?
……
Concubine Shun finished breakfast and called the palace people around her to the side to play chess with her.
After a while, the chamberlain came in and said, "The eldest prince still can't speak." ”
How many people in the palace are thinking of luck, hoping that the eldest prince will wake up and all illnesses will be eliminated, and now the most uncomfortable should be Yongshou Palace.
Within a few days, rumors will spread in the palace, and soon there will be people talking about it in the foreign court, even if the emperor trusts the queen again, he will gradually become suspicious when he looks at the seriously ill prince.
She wants to pull the queen down from the back seat, and then the entire Wang family will lose power.
Deng Sichang and Wang Tonghai are having a good fight, and she must make good use of this opportunity.
Now as long as she waits well and waits patiently, she will definitely be able to wait for a good result.
"What is the Great Prince doing?" Concubine Shun asked.
The chamberlain said in a low voice: "I heard that the palace people over there said that they had prepared a pen and paper to go over, and the eldest prince wanted to draw." ”
Whether the eldest prince wants to paint, or the queen wants the eldest prince to paint and make it look like he is getting better, the queen used such a trick once upon a time.
was also cornered.
The Great Prince can draw something.
……
Zhen Siji watched the eldest prince lift the pen and draw a circle on the snow-white paper, and then one circle after another appeared on the paper.
The ink drops fell and landed on the not-so-round circle.
What is the drawing? No one could understand it, but the eldest prince stared at the paper in front of him in a daze.
The eyes are very serious, as if to see some clues from it.
Zhen Siji shook his head, it seemed that the eldest prince was just painting casually.
Sure enough, the eldest prince was stained with ink again, and painted the circles in front of him into black bumps.
Clusters of black, this time there was really nothing.
The eldest prince frowned tightly, threw the pen away, and ran away.
"What do you want to draw?" A very small voice sounded in his ears, and the eldest prince raised his head and saw the new palace man, who now seemed to be no stranger, but a little kind.
The eldest prince hesitated a little, thinking of the little sheep tied with a rope, and his fingers were slightly bent to make the two ears of the little sheep, so that his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Do you want to draw flowers?"
The eldest prince quickly shook his head.
"Is it a bunny?"
The eldest prince shook his head again.
Flowers and plants and rabbits are not like this, he is painting things in dreams, and there is always a pair of eyes looking at him like that in his dreams, and those eyes always have a hint of coolness. Like an ice pick under the eaves, sharp and cold, it always prick his hairs on end.
Whenever he closes his eyes. It will come to him.
"Are you drawing a person?"
The voice asked again.
The eldest prince raised his head in surprise and looked straight into the clear eyes.
Yes, he was drawing a person, a person he didn't know.
The man had a nice voice, sang in his ear, and had a face that he couldn't remember clearly, whenever he opened his eyes. That face appeared right next to him.
Who is this person?
Why was she staring at him?
"What does that guy look like?"
Listening to the inquiry, the eldest prince shook his head, he didn't know.
The eldest prince sank his head to his knees. I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of small footsteps around him, and then the smell of ink, and the eldest prince raised his head. I saw that the palace people brought the long case.
There are all kinds of pens on the long table. The palace people stood aside and carefully sharpened the ink.
A man walked in and saluted, stood behind the long case and drew slowly, and simple lines began to be drawn on the snow-white paper, and strokes were drawn along the tip of the pen.
The eldest prince couldn't help but be curious, stood up and slowly approached the long case.
Until you can see the paper on the table.
The man was busy, and gradually a person appeared on the paper.
The eldest prince opened his eyes wide and looked over, and the face gradually became clearer, more and more clear, not only in front of him. The man he would see when he closed his eyes was also clear.
Somehow, the eldest prince felt that the sunlight coming through the window was so dazzling. Let his tears keep falling, crossing his cheeks and into his mouth, bitter and astringent.
He didn't want to look at it, he wanted to run away, but his feet felt like they were nailed to the ground.
Who's this?
Who's this?
The eldest prince could barely stand, and was about to fall, but threw himself into the arms of a person, who was very warm in his arms and had a soft voice, "That's your biological mother." ”
"The one who gave birth to you."
"Open your eyes and see."
The eldest prince kept shaking his head, he didn't dare to look, he couldn't look, the face in the dream was ugly, and those eyes looked straight at him.
The person who gave birth to him, yes, is the person who gave birth to him, he has long heard the people in the palace say that it was not the queen mother who gave birth to him.
Some time ago, the dead palace man often said in his ear that his biological mother died very miserably, and no one wanted to leave her child, but someone wanted her to die, and she couldn't have children.
What it means to die, he doesn't know yet.
Until the palace man who often talked to him fell in the main hall during the night duty, his eyes were open like that, and his face was red blood.
That is death.
He couldn't move or speak anymore, and his eyes were wide open.
He didn't want to look at that face anymore, just thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to hide, hide in a place where no one could find him.
"It's okay, look at it, your mother is beautiful, a kind and gentle person," put her arms around him, and her hands kept patting him on him, "everyone likes her." ”
"She has always been in poor health, she tried her best to give birth to you, and then she got sick, always lying in bed, every time I go to see her, she will say, when you grow up, you will definitely be very like your father, she looks forward to you growing up, and wants to see what you look like when you grow up."
"Then she became seriously ill and took me by the hand with tears in her eyes."
"Do you remember what she looked like?"
The eldest prince shook his head.
"Then you see."
The eldest prince only felt that he was being helped up, turned around, and then he saw a portrait.
He saw a kind smile.
On that piece of paper, there was a smiling face printed on it.
Not the terrible face in his dream, not the cold eyes.
The eyes in the dream seemed to be blown away by the wind all at once, and the person in his dream had clearly become the appearance of the painting in front of him.
The eldest prince opened his mouth, "She's sick......"
The queen mother next to her couldn't help but be surprised, although the eldest prince's voice was a little hoarse, he really made a sound.
The eldest prince didn't notice it, just looked at the painting, trying to express his meaning.
The queen mother suppressed her panicked heart and said in a low voice: "She is very sick, just like you did a few days ago, she has to take very bitter medicine, but you are getting better, but she is not well." ”
The eyes looked at him, as if they were very warm, the eldest prince broke away from the embrace of the queen mother, and his little feet stepped forward, step by step, getting closer and closer to the portrait, and the horror on his face slowly faded a lot.
The little child stood in front of the portrait and looked at the person in the portrait who resembled him.
Earnestly raising his little head and looking carefully.
A person and a portrait just stared at each other.
The mother and the child looked at each other, although they were separated by life and death, but they were so close at this moment, as if they had never been separated.
The eldest prince involuntarily stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it on the portrait, but when he saw that there was no wet ink, he lowered his hand, and then became overwhelmed.
I don't know how to get closer to the person in front of me.
The uneasiness made him wriggle his fingers.
It's not scary, it's not as scary as the palace people say.
Didn't stare at him closely, didn't make him feel bad.
"Dead, does it hurt?"
The eldest prince turned his face to look at the queen mother.
The queen shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, it's like falling asleep." ”
"Just never wake up again?" The eldest prince went to look at the painting again, "But Chenlu's face was covered with blood, and she also said that the person who gave birth to me was killed by the queen's mother." ”
