Chapter 336: Distance
The west side of the Yulan Hall in the East Palace was in a mess, and Mother Li, who was sent by the queen to serve, was tied hand and foot with a cloth in her mouth, and looked at the two people in front of the prince's bed in horror like black-eyed chickens.
The blood stains on Lu Shou's chest, who sneaked back to the East Palace, reappeared, and the wound that was originally just meant to be not fatal was touched again and again, which still made his pain double.
Of course, Han Shu opposite him didn't please him.
A silver needle pierced the elegant Mr. Han's body, which paralyzed his hands and feet, and he could only have black purple eyes with bloodline in his eyes, and he stared at the little eunuch who was boldly awakening the prince with a needle at him.
Xiucai couldn't explain why he met a soldier, and when he met a eunuch who knew martial arts, he fell into blood mold for eight lifetimes.
After some fist and foot communication, Han Daofang, who compromised and allowed the other party to ask the prince to judge justice first, shouted back and gave way to the secret guards. Since then, he has even more hatred for the eunuch and his subordinates who only know how to cheat and sell well.
With Lu Shou's acupuncture, the prince Xiao Ze, who had fallen asleep under the effect of the medicine, slowly woke up.
Lu Shou knelt on the ground in panic, shaking off a series of things that happened after Xiao Ze fell asleep.
Regarding the matter of Princess Yan Zhou Manyun taking the road and abducting the eldest princess out of the city, Xiao Ze repeated it several times in repeated inquiries.
"Idiot!" , Xiao Ze gritted his teeth fiercely, scolded Lu Shou, and then coughed heartily for a while.
He clearly remembered that he had warned Zhou Manyun in advance that Meiwu in Luoxia Mountain had already become a thorn in the side of others, and he couldn't go at all.
It's better to be still, and it's much better to actually stay in the city with a pregnant woman who is about to give birth than in the wilderness where it's easy to kill people.
According to the previous expectation, General Lu Shou planned to resist Empress Xu's attack and avoid going to the Yan Palace, waiting for the front foot of the Praetorian Guards mobilized by the queen to enter the palace for search, and the back foot Han Shu would immediately come forward and take the frightened Princess Yan back to the East Palace for temporary placement.
"Han Daofang?!" , Xiao Ze held his forehead as if it was about to burst. Following Lu Shou's hint, he looked at Han Shu, who was clubbing in the middle of the room like a pillar.
Han Shu, who was supposed to lead the team to leave the Yan Palace, was still here!
Mr. Han, who had been relieved by Lu Shou, knelt down with a thud, and stated with tears in his eyes that he had mentioned the reasons to Xiao Ze many times before.
In his opinion, compared with a dispensable woman, the prince's safety is a thousand times more important. is really like Lu Shou, obeying orders blindly is the real disloyalty and injustice.
"Actually, Lu Shou doesn't want to care about her!" , Xiao Ze's cough became more intense. Looking at the red and white faces of the two henchmen around him, he strongly realized that he was stupid.
Lu Shou's persuasion was mostly only unsatisfactory, and if Zhou Manyun vigilantly refused, he would only return to the East Palace to restore his life.
And Han Shu, based on the position of safeguarding the interests of the East Palace, even if he went to the Yan Palace, most likely he would eventually let Empress Xu get people into the Qingning Palace.
People's hearts are fickle, and not everyone is a gentleman who does what he says, not to mention that the two people he uses to rule the shadows in front of him actually have essential flaws.
The so-called prohibition of orders is that when the superior who gives the order is unconscious, as a subordinate, he will naturally carry out some seemingly meaningless orders with discounts. The starting point is all for the sake of the owner.
The bruised hands were tightly covered on his face, and Xiao Ze couldn't help but let out a string of remorseful laughter.
In the panicked pleas of Lu Han and the others, Xiao Ze's heart-palpitating laughter stopped abruptly. He jerked off the brocade quilt and stood barefoot on the ground, staggering.
Xiao Ze asked Lu Shou to help him put on a bright yellow python robe, and kept urging the little eunuch to hurry up, while ordering the guards outside the door to quickly prepare the honor guard.
"Your Highness must not risk your life and leave the city easily!" , Xiao Ze tied the white jade belt around his waist, and Han Shu, who reacted, immediately brushed his face white, and eagerly stretched out his arms to block it.
Never thought of going out of town!
Xiao Ze pursed the reply between his lips. With an expressionless face, he swept away the loyal Mr. Han and strode out of Yulan Hall.
Although the prince's east palace was left behind by Empress Xu, there were dozens of secret guard attendants. But most of them are in the Baoyi Courtyard that guards the emperor's grandson. Most of the people in Yulan Hall were quietly locked up in a dark room, just like Mother Li, who was escorted out of Xiao Ze's bedroom.
The middle door of the East Palace was wide open, and Xiao Ze, who was standing in front of the palace gate, stretched out his hand to hold a doorpost and subconsciously straightened his waist, making the same bright yellow daqi on his body more conspicuous in the reflection of the torches in the night.
"Where is Your Highness going?" , Lu Shou's questioning voice finally showed panic like Mr. Han, who he didn't like.
The prince who dragged his sick body to stand still in the cold wind was like a dazzling live target, and so on. It would be more reassuring to directly let him sit on the golden chariot and receive the arch guard.
"Not going anywhere!" , Xiao Ze shook his head, and then took two steps towards a brighter place, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping.
He had walked out of the palace gate, declaring that he was still firmly in control of the East Palace, and all he could do now was to gamble on the little possibility in his heart. Wait quietly.
In the silent night, a blue-covered carriage overlooking the gate of the East Palace gently rolled up the curtain, and the horses' hooves wrapped in fine cotton staggered and stopped, and then a tired female voice came from the carriage.
"Xiaoqiao, you go over and spread the word first!"
The double-ringed girl twisted in disbelief, and Xiaoqiao's still tender face flashed with thick doubts and asked, "Princess? Are we really going to enter the East Palace? ”
The small carriage where they are sitting now is branded with the mark of the princess's mansion,
The fierce and arrogant Xiao Wan rode out of the city with the carriages and horses of the second mansion, and the momentum was huge. But after Man Yun took them to the princess's mansion, he changed into the inconspicuous one.
Although he quietly circled around the city before turning to the East Palace, Xiaoqiao still didn't know what to do with Manyun's decision.
"Just go, be careful!" , Man Yun took the hand of the small bridge and patted it gently. She had already seen the person standing at the gate of the palace with her own eyes, and if it weren't for the difficulty of moving with a big belly, she would have gone straight over.
The rabbit rises and falls. A small black bridge jumped to the entrance of the East Palace like a ghost.
Rao is confident, and Man Yun, who was clutching his chest, still watched the guards in front of the palace gate gather the half-unsheathed cold front under Xiao Ze's drinking, and the big stone breathed a sigh of relief like a landing.
Almost at the same time, the guards at the gate of the East Palace spread out, and the carriage driven from the secret quickly rushed straight to the palace gate.
Zhou Manyun, who had a complicated expression, took Xiao Man's hand and slowly moved out of the car, and Xiao Ze, who had staggered to the front of the car, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......". Glancing at Lu Shou, who was hanging his head behind Xiao Ze, Zhou Manyun's voice was on the spot.
The bright yellow body with the man's body temperature quickly draped on Zhou Manyun's body, and she couldn't help but look up at each other in a daze.
"Let's go inside!" , Xiao Ze blinked sleepily and smiled bitterly.
The vigilance of the East Palace suddenly became more strict as the master personally presided over it with a strong spirit.
Yulan Hall is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, like an iron bucket.
The blue yarn is like a silk cage, and the flower shadow should be divided into candle shadows.
One of Zhou Manyun's arms was supported by Xiao Man, and the other hand was held in the hollow of the partition door, and the Xinuan Pavilion of Yuzao Hall, which Xiao Ze personally led her, was behind his main bed.
The floor-to-ceiling rosewood cabinet is separated and opened. And looking indoors, you can see the spring warbler weaving willow on the beam, and the painting of the swallow holding the mud. The intimacy of this warm pavilion speaks for itself.
"Never had anyone stayed and it was clean!" , Xiao Ze explained softly, and then suddenly realized another reason for Manyun's hesitation, hooked his white thin lips and smiled: "I just think it will be safer to let my little nephew who has not yet been born stay here." ”
Man Yun's gaze fell on the tip of his belly, and he let go of the hand propped up on the door and put it on his waist that was gradually sore.
Rushed out of the Yanwang Mansion. I went to the princess's mansion to transfer, although I achieved the goal of not letting outsiders easily touch my body. But along the way, she was still tired.
The small warm pavilion was quickly robbed of control by the woman who occupied the magpie's nest, Zhou Manyun unceremoniously lay on the couch, Xiao Man took the small bridge and flowing water to clean up all kinds of things, and did not look at the original owner standing by the door at all.
Xiao Ze closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the door and smiled comfortably: "Thank you for coming here to find me!" ”
Trust between people. Whatever is given is always precious to the point of luxury.
Zhou Manyun, who was leaning on the head of the couch, put on a soft pillow, and looked at a wisteria basket with a brocade edge that was originally placed on the couch, in which there were already several baby white muslin shirts prepared by the original owner, and the rest of the things were also full of intentions.
Zhou Manyun's eyelashes flashed involuntarily. Raised his eyebrows sideways and said, "Didn't the eldest brother invite me early in the morning?"
The so-called tacit coincidence, but she is not stupid, she knew that she had understood Xiao Ze's purpose of preparing the cave a few months ago.
forbearance did not respond, half to wait for Xiao Hong, who did not know when he would return, and the other half to take another look at the development of the situation. Previously, Princess Yan, who rushed out of the city, drove to lead those who followed her to the western suburbs for a ride.
"Yes!" , Xiao Ze recognized with a smile, nodded and said, "Compared to your hiding places that will provoke raids, it is naturally safer in the East Palace." ”
"But the premise is that the owner of the East Palace is alive and well! Otherwise, I will come and die. Zhou Manyun snorted lightly and said, "I don't think I can completely relax now." ”
With Man Yun's cold words, a small silver box was taken out of her arms and rested on the small table next to the couch, and pushed it in the direction of Xiao Ze.
Xiao Zeyang stopped Lu Shou, who was about to take something for him, walked over slowly, and sat down with great difficulty pulling a round drum embroidery pier before gently opening the box.
Two white porcelain medicine bottles with crystal glaze appeared in the box.
"Antidote?" , Xiao Ze asked, no joy or sorrow.
"It's not!" , Zhou Manyun put his hand back on his abdomen, his starry eyes closed lightly, and he lazily explained: "I said that I would cure your Gu and wait for a year and all lies, so I have to wait for me to give birth." The medicine here can only make your current body more comfortable, cheer up some spirits, and support Yulan Hall. ”
"It seems that you really think of me as a guard at your disposal." , Xiao Ze opened the bottle with a smile and watched the small and cute blue pills rolling in the palm of his hand.
Zhou Manyun continued to talk about the way to take the medicine in a noncommittal whisper.
Xiao Ze, who listened carefully, immediately followed Lu Shousu to get water, and then stared at Zhou Manyun's face with shining eyes.
"Zhou Manyun! I didn't take you in because I wanted to get the antidote from you, whatever it was. ”
"I didn't dare to come here because I was confident that I had medicine in my hand to control you!"
"Then why dare you be so bold?"
Zhou Manyun was speechless for a while, and his intuition was getting hotter and hotter, and in the end, he simply gritted his teeth and glared back, and said loudly: "Just like when I knew that you were in the Gu but didn't help you and insisted that you suffer, I know that you won't really care about me, and I know that you will allow me to hurt you and use you." Know...... I just know you like me. ”
The room was quiet, and Xiao Man and the others, who pretended to be busy, were all stunned.
"It's good to know!" , Xiao Ze was also stunned for a long time, before he stood up with a smile, pinched the silver medicine box with trembling hands, and walked out with his legs stiff.
"Big brother! Ask yourself, I never meant to let you die. It's not for the sake of the child or Xiao Hong, I personally want you to live well. Zhou Manyun's voice was much hoarse and lower, "So, in my opinion, your behavior of making a cheap body is really stupid." ”
"I see!" , Xiao Ze smiled indifferently without looking back, "I'll get better as soon as possible." Six brothers and sisters! Rest well. ”
The curtain was silent, as if the owner who had just asked the guest had never appeared.
There were faint shouts of fright from Lu Shou and other attendants outside, and Xiao Ze's strong body was out of condition again.
Zhou Manyun's eyelashes blinked, then lowered his eyelids, stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his towering abdomen again and again, without saying a word. (To be continued......)
