Chapter 14: Tricks

Huanhuan finally couldn't resist it, and his spine fell to his knees. Ling'er behind her was also so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, her hands were clenched into fists, and her shoulders trembled violently.

Gao Yu saw that this dazzling master and servant looked painful and helpless, and his heart was happy. couldn't help but taunted: "If you don't confront me in front of the prince today, and don't look at the prince, I may let Qin Niang go." ”

Huanhuan looked at her angrily, and saw her slowly squatting down, using the silver wine glass in her hand to lift the cloud-green veil that covered her face. A pair of phoenix eyes shone brightly, and he looked at the scar on the left side of his face with the eyes of a vulture flying in the sky. I felt a chill in my heart and my back softened.

Seeing that Gao Yu had been staring at his scar, Huanhuan turned his head and lowered the tulle to cover the ugly scar.

"Sister Qi's wound is getting better too quickly, I'm afraid it's not normal."

The corners of Gao Yu's lips curled slightly, his eyes turned, he reached out and directly tore off the tulle that covered Huanhuan's face, and then deliberately used the rim of the wine glass to poke the wound on Huanhuan's left face. The scabbed scar was pressed by the rim of the cup, and blood was spilled.

"Ahh Huanhuan was in pain and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Seeing this, Ling'er had already burst into tears, and kowtowed to Gao Yu in the back, crying and begging: "The princess let Miss go, please let the princess let Miss go, please..."

Seeing Huanhuan screaming in pain, Ling'er cried and begged. Gao Yu felt that the anger that had accumulated in his chest in the past few days was dissipating one by one, and he was extremely happy. The hand holding the wound pressed harder, and actually pressed the rim of the cup deep into Huanhuan's wound, and half a cup of blood seeped into the cup.

There was still strong wine left on the rim of the glass, and the moment he touched the wound, Huanhuan felt a piercing pain. Unexpectedly, Gao Yu was so vicious that he pressed the wound with the rim of the cup, and forced out a more serious bloody wound.

Although Huanhuan was in unbearable pain, she never shed tears to show weakness, but just looked at Gao Yu, who was smiling pervertedly. Ling'er was still begging for mercy and crying, Huanhuan quietly stretched his hand to her back, grabbed Ling'er's skirt, and pulled it several times. Ling'er noticed it, understood, held her breath and stood up forcefully, and ran towards the courtyard. Crying as he ran: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, come and save Miss." Lord Wang..."

The princess had already left a hand, and there were her servants all around, how could Ling'er run around and shout.

Ling'er pulled out her legs and ran hard, but she didn't want to run out of the main courtyard, she was beaten with a thick stick and fell to her knees.

When Ling'er fell to the ground, she caught a glimpse of a figure in a trance, leaving only a touch of dark color on her sleeves and feet, and then she couldn't see the familiar figure again.

The servants dragged Ling'er and threw her to the ground. Gao Yu glanced at Ling'er, and then at Huanhuan, whose cheeks were rotten and white, and suddenly felt bored. Throwing the wine glass containing half a glass of blood on Huanhuan's body, he squatted down and reached out to pinch Huanhuan's chin hard.

"You don't even know how ugly and disgusting this pear blossom white is on you!" Gao Yu said angrily, "If you dare to go against me again without being interesting, this time it will be you, Qin Niang, and next time it will be your good Ling'er!" ”

After saying this, Gao Yu stood up and took a few steps back. looked at the master and servant kneeling on the ground with a proud expression, as if admiring the view, squinting at the phoenix eyes for a long time.

Huanhuan's white clothes were stained with blood again, and there were blood stains everywhere on his collar, chest, waist, abdomen, and sides of his legs. Huanhuan's simple and refreshing hair, at some point, fell out and fell in front of her, covering the top of her head that had just been buried by Nan Ash Dust, and also covering the wound on the left side of her face that was bubbling with blood beads.

Huanhuan clubbed the ground with his hands on his knees, and inhaled in embarrassment. Looking at the high-flying princess Gao Yu with her eyes, she smiled with thin lips, gritted her teeth in pain, and said: "Qi Nu'er will not dare to talk back to the princess and go against the princess." ”

When Gao Yu heard this, his smile bloomed. Turning his back to Huanhuan, he shook his sleeves lightly, and muttered, "If you were sensible earlier, you wouldn't have suffered such pain." Don't think that the prince can protect you, without my Prime Minister's Mansion, he is not even qualified to compete for the position of the crown prince! ”

Huanhuan bites his lower lip to keep himself awake. Ling'er gasped in pain beside her, looking resentful. Huanhuan reached out to grasp her hand tightly, trying to give her a trace of warmth through the palm of his hand. But she found that no matter how hard she tried to grab Ling'er's hand, she couldn't. There was a fishy sweet smell on the tip of his tongue, and when Huanhuan reacted that he had bitten his lower lip and was bleeding, when he raised his eyes again, there were blurry double images everywhere, and his head became heavy. Her head hung and everything around her fell silent.

……

When Huanhuan woke up, she found Qin Niang guarding her with a bowl of medicine in her hand.

Huanhuan closed his eyes, secretly wishing in his heart that this was not a dream, and Qin Niang was really back. She slowly raised her eyes with expectations, and saw that Qin Niang was still by her side, and finally relieved herself. smiled and said, "Qin Niang." ”

"Miss, it's me." Qin Niang hurriedly stretched out her warm palm, stroked Huanhuan's forehead, and said distressedly, "Miss has suffered." ”

"How could she agree to let you out?" Huanhuan felt pain when he thought of the wound on the left side of Princess Gao Yu's face, and turned his eyes to look at Qin Niang and asked.

Qin Niang's expression was a little darker, and her gentle eyes looked directly at Huanhuan's red and swollen peach blossom eyes, and said softly: "It's the prince." ”

Huanhuan was not surprised when he heard that it was Li Zerong, but just closed his eyes and said no more.

Qin Niang continued beside her: "It was the prince who carried the young lady back to the courtyard, and it was he who asked the princess's servants to release me. ”

"It's him, throwing up his sleeves and leaving, leaving me and the princess behind. Ling'er called him like that, called him to save me, but didn't wait for his help. Huanhuan closed his eyes, and his mind was full of Ling'er's heart-wrenching cry for help, as well as the back of Li Zerong throwing his sleeves and leaving.

"The princess has been reprimanded and returned home."

When Huanhuan heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head to look at Qin Niang, and said in surprise: "What does it mean to be rejected?" Li Zerong punished her? ”

"It's not that the prince punished her." Qin Niang leaned over, helped Huanhuan up, sat up against the pillow, and said flatly, "It was the father-in-law who was spreading the word in the palace who bumped into him." ”

"Passing the word?"

Qin Niang nodded, staring at the medicine bowl with her eyes, shaking the spoon to dissipate heat, and explained: "It's Your Majesty who wants to see the prince." followed the father-in-law who sent the decree, and the queen mother's personal aunt came to give the princess gifts. The aunt Xu returned to the palace and informed the queen mother of the matter, and the princess was reprimanded for seven days in the name of being unvirtuous, reflecting on the province. ”

"It's a little weird, I don't have a name in the house, I am not as good as the maid in the house, how can I let the Queen Mother reprimand her?"

"It's not because of you, but because of ......" Qin Niang handed over a spoonful of medicinal soup and looked at Huanhuan worriedly.

Huanhuan was curious when he saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and turned his head instead of drinking the decoction that smelled extremely bitter, but said curiously: "What is the reason?" ”

"Because the young lady has royal blood in her." Qin Niang put the soup spoon back into the bowl, and gently stroked Huanhuan's forehead with a warm palm, as if comforting.

"Royal Blood?" Huanhuan didn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help but repeat it.

When she understood, she opened her big eyes like copper bells, stared at Qin Niang's eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and slowly reached out to touch her abdomen.

"The decoction of that day may not have that effect, but rather a medicinal herb that nourishes the body."

"How do I know I'm pregnant?" Huanhuan's lower lip is still covered with blood scabs, and her lips are pale. Knowing that she was pregnant with Li Zerong's blood and bones, she did not have great mood swings, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"The young lady lay in bed for two days."

"Lying down for so long?"

"I heard Ling'er say that after you fainted, the princess was still angry, picked up the wine jug on the wooden table, and prepared to pour it on the wound, waking you up alive, not wanting the prince to appear. The prince didn't say a word, but just stood there, so that the princess didn't notice him immediately, otherwise the princess would have pretended to be sympathetic. Then the sound of carriages and horses sounded outside the gate of the palace, and a group of people from the palace came in, and happened to see that scene. Halfway through her speech, Qin Niang felt that the decoction in her hand was getting cold, and hurriedly handed the medicine to Huanhuan's lips, and continued to tell while feeding the medicine, "After the prince took the order, the aunt asked about you. The princess smiled and was about to quibble, but was stopped by the prince's voice. ”

"What did he say?" Huanhuan drank the decoction obediently, and after hearing that Gao Yu was punished, she was very interested in what Qin Niang said.

"The prince said that you were his concubine before marriage, and when you had a relationship, you accidentally got pregnant with a child. The aunt had seen many storms in the harem, and when she heard the words, she had a score in her heart, but she didn't show her face. The princess answered at this time, pretending to be generous, without giving other explanations, and let the prince carry you back to the hospital. ”

"How could Li Zerong know that I was pregnant?"

Qin Niang smiled and said softly: "This is the wisdom of the prince, if the prince does not say this, he will not be able to punish the princess invisibly." It is common for the royal family to serve on the bed before marriage, how dare the princess say more. Miss didn't know that the royal family had very few heirs in the prince's generation. The current crown prince, who is also the eldest prince, has contracted a strong illness and will die soon, with only one daughter under his knees. The second prince is another infatuated species, and the second princess has no good news for a long time. The third prince didn't say much. The fourth or fifth prince is about the same age as the prince, and he is still unmarried. ”

When Huanhuan heard Qin Niang say Li Zerong's explanation of his identity, a trace of loss flashed in his heart. Listening to Qin Niang talk about the three princes again, she unconsciously remembered the past, and her eyes were sad.

"What about Ling'er? Is her leg okay? ”

"Ling'er has a serious leg injury and is recuperating in bed. When the young lady recovers from her injuries, I will go to see her. ”

Hearing this, Huanhuan reached out and touched the left side of his face. Another bloody scab, but it doesn't hurt anymore to the touch. couldn't help but joke to ease the dull atmosphere and said: "It's better that Qin Niang is here, and the scars will get better soon." ”

"It's the prince, it's the ointment that the prince applied to the young lady. When the prince is done, he will come to take care of the young lady and rub the ointment for you. After Qin Niang fed Huanhuan medicinal soup, she put down the medicine bowl, looked at the sky outside the window, and said to Huanhuan, "It's getting late, Miss must be hungry." I'm going to cook for Miss, okay? ”

Huanhuan nodded. When Qin Niang left, she took out a bag of candied fruit from her sleeve and put it in Huanhuan's hand. He put down the curtain, closed the door, and left with a smile.

Seeing Qin Niang leaving, Huanhuan looked down at the bag of candied fruit in his hand. The candied fruit is equipped with a light green brocade purse, Huanhuan picked up the purse, and saw that the back of the purse was embroidered with a begonia, but the person who embroidered the begonia was not good, and the silk thread was embroidered crookedly, only the general shape of the begonia, and there was no charm of the begonia flower.

Open the purse, take out a candied fruit, put it in the mouth, the sweetness enters the throat, the fangs bite gently, and the juice will bubble, the taste is fresh and sweet. This kind of candied fruit gives Huanhuan a very familiar feeling, and she seems to have eaten this kind of candied fruit in her memory, which melts in her mouth, overflowing with juice, sweet but not greasy. I ate half a purse of preserves at once. I ate a little more attentively, but I didn't notice that someone pushed the door in.

Just as Huanhuan was about to take another candied fruit, the curtain was suddenly lifted. Huanhuan turned his head to meet the familiar fox eyes.

It was Li Zerong who came in with the ointment. Somehow, every time Huan Huan met those eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off, as if his soul was sucked away by those beautiful eyes.

"You're awake." Li Zerong retracted his gaze, hung up the curtain, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Huanhuan who was holding candied fruit in his hand on the bed, his cheeks bulging, his eyes showed tenderness, and he said softly, "It's not good to wake up and eat too much sweet, slave." ”

Huanhuan was still remorseful for looking at Li Zerong for a while just now, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for not being angry. Hearing this, he said angrily: "How much sweet I eat, what does it have to do with you!" Don't come to this pretence. ”

When Li Zerong heard this, his thin lips were slightly curled, and he did not speak. Instead, he stretched out his hand to caress Huanhuan's scar with pity, and said softly: "The slave's scar is much better, it seems that this superb scar medicine is not deceiving." ”

When Huanhuan saw him reach out and touch his scar, he hurriedly turned his head and covered the terrifying scar with his hand. said angrily: "Is the prince here to go down the well and fall stones?" No need to remind, Qin Niang has told me that you have rubbed the ointment for me these two days, don't think that I will be grateful to you for this! ”

Seeing that she was emotional, Li Zerong hurriedly withdrew his hand, his fox eyes drooped slightly, and he looked at the jar of ointment.

"Qin Niang said that I had a child, and asked the prince to give me medicine to kill this evil seed." Hwan vigilantly moved his ass to the inside of the bed and sat down. Then I remembered something, touched my abdomen, and then this sentence came out.

"How have you ever lost thyself to me?" Li Zerong stood up, carefully placed the scar medicine on the wooden table, and said coldly, "Why should you take it seriously when you make a decision between life and death?" ”

After speaking, Li Zerong threw his sleeves away again and did not look back.

When Li Zerong left, Qin Niang happened to walk towards the house with fish, meat, rice porridge and side dishes, and saw Li Zerong leaving angrily with a gloomy face. Before he could say his mouth to salute, he saw Li Zerong walking away. When she put down the food and asked Huanhuan to eat, she saw her eyes glazed and she stuffed candied fruit into her mouth like crazy.

When Huanhuan saw Qin Niang coming, he couldn't hold back his tears, hugged Qin Niang and cried, choking up: "What am I to him...... Nothing happened that day when she was drunk, so don't misunderstand Qin Niang again. ”
