The queen looked at their distant backs, her well-maintained face changed blue and white for a while, and her mouth said hatefully: "This cheap slave dares to pretend to be a man to stay in my palace, and she can't be spared after seeing the mourning family!" ”

Princess Lan Xin watched the queen angry from the side, and stepped forward to persuade her: "Queen Mother, forget it, you can dissipate your anger." I think the eldest brother attaches great importance to that little comb, didn't he say it just now, so that you can no longer call the little comb a cheap minion, you don't bother with that little comb, so as not to hurt the harmony with the eldest brother. ”

"Humph! He turned his face against me, the queen mother, for a slave, and the mourning family wanted to see how big the sky could be turned out of that cheap slave. "The queen is still angry.

Yes, Li Mo has always been a good child who is filial and polite, and now for a small comb, he does not hesitate to turn his face with her, the noble queen mother, in front of so many people.

This breath, how can the queen mother, who has always been arrogant in the palace, swallow it?

Li Mo hugged Su Xiaorou and rushed back to the Taihe Hall as quickly as possible, he couldn't bear to put the scarred Su Xiaorou in the hut where she usually lived, but directly took Su Xiaorou to a comfortable wing room close to the Taihe Palace.

When he gently placed the unconscious Su Xiaorou on the soft couch in the room, because the futon touched the wound on Su Xiaorou's back, the unconscious Xiaorou couldn't help but let out a faint moan.

Li Mo hurriedly leaned down and said softly in Xiao Rou's ear: "Little comb, don't be afraid, bear with it, the imperial doctor will be here soon." ”

Su Xiaorou didn't respond, her expression was so painful, her face was bloodstained and tearstained, her hair hung down disheveled, and she looked like a destroyed rag doll.

Li Mo's heart hurt again, he squatted down by the bed, and held Su Xiaorou's cold, lifeless little hand.

It was the first time he had taken the initiative to shake a girl's hand, but it was in such a heartbreaking situation.

Meng Niannian also threw herself on the side of the bed, and her tears have not broken since she arrived here on the road.

She grabbed Su Xiaorou's other hand and kept whispering: "Little comb, little comb, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have called you to play in the water, I shouldn't have ......"

Li Mo only turned his face and glanced at Nian Nian at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Crown Princess, don't blame yourself too much, I only blame me for not reporting the truth that the little comb is a girl to my father and queen mother as soon as possible." It's me who didn't take care of the little comb, so let's not disturb her now. ”

The two gently put Su Xiaorou's hand into the satin quilt and covered it, and stood up from the side of the bed at the same time, but they were relatively speechless.

"Where's the little comb?" At this time, I saw the second prince Li Rui hurriedly stepping in from outside the door.

At a glance, he saw Su Xiaorou lying on the bed with a pale face, and suddenly, his face also lost blood.

Li Rui rushed over and stood beside the bed staring at Su Xiaorou for a long time, her beautiful but lifeless cheeks. His fists clenched, and his heart began to throb as if it had been whipped.

He turned his face to face his brother, his eyes burning with anger: "Brother Emperor, is this how you protect the little comb?" I thought the little comb would be well taken care of by you, but ......"

Turning his head and glancing at Su Xiaorou who was lying there unconscious with great regret, Li Rui looked at Li Mo and said sadly, word by word: "You would let her be hurt like this!" If it were me, I wouldn't let her shed a single tear! Hurt a hair! ”

"Second prince, don't blame the prince, he can already feel uncomfortable in his heart. It was because I was playful and called the little comb to swim in the Yunqing Pond, and was caught by the queen mother, so such a tragic thing happened. Nian Nian explained to Li Rui with red eyes.

"I don't care which of you is to blame! In short, if anything happens to the little comb, I will not forgive you, everyone, including the queen mother! Li Rui turned his head and yelled at Nian Nian.

Imperial Physician Hu finally hurriedly walked into the house with two assistants carrying the medicine box on their backs, and the three of them stopped talking, walked over with worry and hope, and gathered around Su Xiaorou's bedside......

Li Mo instructed Imperial Physician Hu: "Do your best to cure the little comb, and no accidents are allowed." ”

Li Rui also said to Imperial Doctor Hu with a solemn face: "With the fastest speed and the best medicine, I want to see her stand up alive immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, please rest assured that the crown prince and the second prince will do their best to cure the little comb." Seeing that the two princes were full of nervousness, Imperial Physician Hu attached great importance to this injured little comb, and only agreed at the moment.

At this time, Zhuzhu also ran into the door in a panic: "Crown Princess, I heard that the little comb was injured by the queen's mother, so what's going on now?" Is he hurting badly? ”

Saying this, she saw Su Xiaorou lying there covered in scars at a glance, and her eyes immediately turned red.

After all, she has always regarded Xiao Comb as a delicate boy, and Xiao Comb is also the first sweetheart in her feelings for a young girl.

Seeing that everyone's faces in the room were strangely heavy, Zhuzhu stopped talking, not daring to say anything more.

"Zhuzhu, you came just in time, you will stay here with the crown princess to see if there is anything you need your help when Imperial Doctor Hu treats the little comb. Xiao Comb is a girl dressed as a man, and it is inconvenient for me and the second emperor brother to stay here, so let's wait outside first. Li Mo said.

He naturally said Su Xiaorou's true gender, and without seeing the surprised reactions of many people after hearing it, he took the lead and walked out.

Li Rui glanced back at Su Xiaorou with concern again at this time, and then walked out with the prince.

When the two brothers stood in the courtyard back to back, they felt that the atmosphere between them was so weird.

Just because at this time, the hearts of the two of them are deeply concerned about the girl who is lying in the house, uncertain about life and death.

Li Rui didn't let this situation last long, his emotions were always so excited.

Ever since he saw Su Xiaorou lying there with a miserable and helpless look, he felt that his heart had been panicked and manic, and he couldn't calm down.

At this time, the burning anger in his eyes was still not extinguished, he walked up to Li Mo and said loudly: "Now, I will go to the queen mother to ask about this matter." I want to tell the queen mother that no one can hurt the little comb in the future. ”

After that, Li Rui walked out of the palace courtyard of the Taihe Palace.

came to the Yuanhe Palace, where the queen lived, Li Rui ignored his father-in-law who hurriedly greeted him when he saw him, and walked in directly.

The queen mother was sitting comfortably on the rosewood couch at this time, thinking about what had just happened, and she was still indignant.

On the table in front of her were a few pieces of freshly cut watermelons with green skin and red soil, and she had no intention of tasting them, and two palace maids stood behind her gently fanning the queen's mother.

"The Queen Mother." Li Rui shouted.

The queen mother raised her eyes and saw that it was her favorite youngest son Li Rui who came, and her face was immediately covered with a loving smile: "Rui'er is here, come and sit down next to my mother and eat a few pieces of watermelon, which Huang Gonggong has just chilled with deep well water, which can relieve the heat." ”

"I don't want to eat it." Li Rui didn't look at the fresh and attractive red watermelon, nor did he sit down beside the queen's mother.

"What's wrong? Rui'er, why do you look listless today? The queen felt that her son's mood today was obviously very different from the past, and couldn't help but look at Li Rui's eyes with concern and asked.

"Queen Mother, I want to ask you, who made the little comb like that just now?" Li Rui tightened his face and spit out such a sentence from between his teeth.

"Rui'er, what are you asking for?" The queen's face also became gloomy.

She immediately understood that her son's unhappiness today turned out to be related to the beating of the little comb, because of this incident, the eldest son had just turned his face with her in front of everyone, and her heart was still on fire.

Now that the second son is chasing after her and questioning her, you can imagine how unhappy the queen's heart will be.

"Because I want to teach him a lesson!" Li Rui's face was still so gloomy, and his voice was very cold and irritable.

"Rui'er! It was the mourning family who asked someone to beat the little comb who didn't know how to measure, do you still want to teach the mourning family a lesson? The queen said sharply.

"Erchen didn't dare, but Erchen wanted to ask the queen mother, what big mistake did the little comb make? You're going to beat her up like that? Forty canes, even a strong man like us may not be able to bear it, let alone a delicate girl like a small comb? Queen Mother, Erchen wonders how you can do it? Are you safe to put her to death? Li Ruitong glared at his mother with red eyes and hissed.

"Humph! Just because she dares to pretend to be a man and hide her identity and stay in my palace without permission, the mourning family is enough to punish her for a capital crime of deceiving the king, what else do you have to defend her? The queen snorted coldly from her nose.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is here today to tell you that for Erchen, the little comb is a very, very important person. Whether she's right or wrong, Erchen doesn't care, Erchen just needs her to be happy. Therefore, Erchen doesn't want to see anyone hurt her, and he won't allow anyone to hurt her! Especially you, dear Queen Mother. You and Little Comb are the most cherished people in Erchen's mind, and Erchen doesn't want anything between the two of you to make me sad. Li Rui walked in front of the queen mother, and announced the words in his heart with excitement on his face.

"Presumptuous! Rui'er, you even compare the queen mother to that cheap minion! Just by her? Is it worthy too? The queen mother changed color when she heard Li Rui's words, and said angrily.
