Chapter 179: Father and Son Temptation
couldn't help but think about it, Jun Xu carefully picked up the ground again, but found a slight gap in this position.
Lowering his head to look carefully, he reached out and touched it gently, and there was a clear sense of concave and convex.
Jun Xu's brows tightened slightly, and he pondered for a while.
Seeing this, Ah San couldn't help but be confused, "Eighth Prince, did you find something?" ”
"It's a switch." Jun Xu said softly.
Hearing this, Ah San leaned closer, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly agreed, "There is an ice cellar underneath, I have heard the older generation say that this ice cellar is full of fierce and evil people, which is a kind of torture. ”
Hearing this, Jun Xu glanced up at him, and then fell silent slightly.
"How do I open it?"
Ah San scratched his head, "This Ah San doesn't know." ”
Jun Xu got up, looked around, and finally looked at a dark passage in front of him.
It's very hidden, and it's easy to be overlooked if you don't look closely.
stepped forward, raised his hand and touched it tentatively, but there was no movement.
It's a door, and it's a difficult problem to open it.
Getting closer, Jun Xu also clearly felt a burst of cold air coming.
Ah San was worried, and then stepped forward to try to find the entrance.
Suddenly, his fingers seemed to press something and fell down, and he immediately withdrew his hand in shock.
Then there was a rumbling sound, and the door opened.
Then there were bursts of cold air from the inside out, which was a bit biting.
Jun Xu looked inside, it was indeed as Ah San said, this was an ice cellar, there were ice cubes everywhere, and he could feel the cold just by standing at the door.
Ah San couldn't help but shudder for a moment, and stepped forward, "Eighth Prince, Miss Xiao Nan won't really be here, right?" ”
Jun Xu raised his feet and prepared to go in, "This king will go and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Ah San hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't be the eighth prince, it's very cold here, if you stay in it for a long time, it will cause leg disease." ”
Glancing sideways at Ah San, who looked panicked, he reached out and pulled away his hand that was holding his sleeve, and ordered, "You go find someone now." ”
As he spoke, before Ah San could say anything, Jun Xu had already raised his feet and walked in.
"Eh, Eighth Prince......" Ah San looked embarrassed, and the cold air emitted from there made him stop.
Thinking of the body of the eighth prince, he hurriedly went to find someone to come over at his request.
The ice cellar is worthy of being called an ice cellar, there are ice cubes everywhere, exuding cold, the corners of Jun Xu's lips are tense, thinking that Yun Ruonan may be here, and he doesn't dare to delay for a second.
Walked in quickly to look for someone, "Xiao Nan? ”
It's very big, the big one can't tell the direction, and there are similar scenes everywhere, in order to avoid being trapped in it and not being able to get out, Jun Xu will tear off the corner of his clothes every time he walks to make a mark.
Calling the name while looking for the person.
Not only did he not respond, but he had not seen any of them.
I obviously saw what Yun Ruonan had dropped outside, how could I not be here?
The deeper you go, the colder it gets.
Vaguely feeling that his legs were trembling a little, Jun Xu frowned, and his face was not very good.
Not far away, I saw a pink strip of cloth on an ice sculpture, and stepped forward to walk in to compare it with my clothes.
Can confirm that this is not their own.
It should be around here.
"Xiao Nan?" After looking around, Jun Xu was even more anxious.
Finally, I accidentally saw a figure curled up in the corner.
I chuckled in my heart and stepped forward quickly, but it was too cold for my left leg to seem to be a little useless.
I didn't hold it steady and almost fell to the ground.
Holding his left leg, Jun Xu gritted his teeth, rested for a while, and then raised his foot and moved over there.
Squatted down and shook the man gently, "Xiao Nan? ”
The woman's body was so cold that she couldn't feel a trace of temperature, her eyes were tight, and even her long eyelashes were covered with a layer of mist.
His face was even more pale, and his lips were not bloodless, and he seemed to be a little purple from the cold.
A drawing fell out of his arms, and he suddenly saw that it was the one that Ah San had brought before.
The small rise and fall in his chest made Jun Xu breathe a sigh of relief, but there was even more worry and distress in his eyes that could not be concealed.
hurriedly untied the cloak behind him, covered Yun Ruonan's thin body, and then took the woman into his arms, trying to give her some heat.
The big hand went around, picked up the woman, stood up, and took a step back, but accidentally stumbled and almost fell down with someone.
Jun Xu hurriedly stabilized his body, the corners of his lips tightened, and his eyebrows revealed a little panic.
Can't stay long, his legs ...... If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll have a leg disease again.
Gritting his teeth, Jun Xu hurriedly raised his feet and walked back along the way he came.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to make some marks with my clothes, and I was able to find a way out smoothly.
On the way, I happened to hear hurried footsteps ahead, and after a while, I saw Ah San.
Ah San led dozens of people to rush in, and when he saw Jun Xu, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and covered him with the cloak he brought, for fear that he would freeze, "Eighth Prince, nothing happened to you." ”
Then he moved his gaze to the unconscious woman in his arms, and frowned slightly, "Miss Xiao Nan is really here." ”
Jun Xu's face was not too good, "Go out first." ”
"Okay." Ah San listened and hurriedly got out of the way.
He turned his head and commanded loudly, "Get out of the way, don't crowd inside." ”
……
Yun Ruonan's body was very cold, so he hurriedly went to ask for a doctor when he put it on the couch, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to turn on the floor heating to warm up the house, and hurriedly went to get hot water, so that Yun Ruonan's body could recover some temperature.
Jun Xu's leg disease also had some attacks, but fortunately, he didn't stay in the ice cellar for too long, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was imminent, so he couldn't make any trouble at this juncture.
When the imperial doctor heard that the object of his treatment was a maid who had accidentally broken into the ice cellar, the beard of the whole person was crooked, and it was not an insult to treat the maid.
But helplessly, it was the order of the Eighth Prince, where did he dare not obey.
I only dared to slander myself in my heart, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment on the surface.
Yun Ruonan had a high fever, and after getting out of the ice cellar, his body began to tremble, and Jun Xu was even more distressed beside him.
The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, ordered some important things, and withdrew.
He had heard a little about this maid before, and some big officials had also gossiped about some things about the Eighth Emperor, as if it was this maid, and it was very likely that she would be the future Eighth Emperor Princess.
The people in this palace are very shrewd, and there is also a little speculation in their hearts about this battle for the throne, once the eight princes have a wife and children, and with His Majesty's favor, it will be even more at their fingertips.
So, he ran back and gave him some more medicine.
Jun Xu didn't know what he was thinking, but he still accepted the medicine and hurriedly asked people to boil it.
Yun Ruonan's face was a little ruddy, but it didn't look normal, but when he reached out and touched it, it was extremely hot.
The imperial doctor also said that he had a high fever, and this time, Jun Xu's brows tightened even more, he had never had the experience of taking care of others, let alone taking care of a woman.
I had to call the maids of Qingyi Hall and order them to take turns to take care of them.
Worried about the lack of manpower, he hired a few maids.
This matter is so great that it has reached the ears of His Majesty.
As soon as I heard that a maid had sneaked away to the ice cellar, I felt that I deserved it at first, but then when I heard that my favorite Xu'er also rushed in, I felt even more angry for the sake of that maid.
Now that this poison has been solved, I still care about what a little maid does, and since ancient times, emperors should not be bound by feelings.
Therefore, I also went to Qingyi Hall on purpose.
His Majesty came without warning, and on that day, he happened to stay in Qingyi Hall to dine together.
In this regard, Jun Xu also did not expect that when he saw the yellow-robed man entering the main hall, Jun Xu hurriedly saluted, "The son of the minister participates in the emperor." ”
His Majesty glanced at him, and then said slowly, "Get up, I also heard about you entering the ice cellar for a maid, take me to see the maid." ”
Jun Xu got up, glanced at him, and had no choice but to bow his head in response, "Yes." ”
As he went to the bedroom, when he saw the maid lying on the bed of the Eighth Prince, His Majesty's face changed slightly, and he did not look very good.
Getting closer, it's really the same maid last time.
I don't know what's so good about this maid that makes his Xu'er so fascinated.
Looking at His Majesty's expression on the side, Jun Xu couldn't help but be a little puzzled in his heart, the more His Majesty was silent, the more nervous he felt.
"Father's ......"
His Majesty retracted his gaze, didn't leave Jun Xu with a look, and turned around, "Let's go, accompany me to dinner, our father and son haven't eaten together for a long time." ”
"Yes."
couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts, Jun Xu had no choice but to come down.
But he should have guessed something, this time it shouldn't just be a meal, maybe, what his father will say to him, most likely because of this.
As it turned out, Jun Xu's guess was right.
Sitting at the table and eating, His Majesty said, "I heard that the maid is from Master Mu's side. ”
Hearing this, Jun Xu raised his eyes and nodded, "Exactly." ”
"Then why did you become your personal maid again? Or, why her? ”
Facing His Majesty's inquiring look, Jun Xu's mind spun rapidly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Because, Erchen likes her." ”
People who can sit on the throne are generally not low-minded, and His Majesty can ask such a sentence, most of them have also heard some rumors in the palace.
Coupled with the fact that Yun Ruonan was caught in the dungeon by His Majesty and came forward to defend it himself, His Majesty must have secretly investigated the people around him.
"Oh? Seriously? His Majesty smiled, "After so many years, I haven't seen any woman Xu Er likes, is this true love?" ”
Jun Xu said with a smile, "Wasn't this poisonous before?" It all depends on the poison of her sons. ”
Hearing this, His Majesty was surprised and couldn't help but be curious, "She? She still knows how to detoxify? ”
Jun Xu nodded slightly, "So, she is considered to be the life-saving benefactor of Erchen, my father said since she was a child that she learned to repay her kindness, and Erchen naturally can't let her life-saving benefactor be in danger." ”
