708:The Death of the Nine Princesses (2)
Nalan Jinxiu was on the side, feeling that the cry of the ninth princess was extremely penetrating, and it had hit people's hearts. Of course, Ji Hongxuan, who was at the door, also heard it, and his hand stretched out, but he finally took it back.
He never entered the house, but just stood in the doorway and remembered what had happened. It was like a dream to him, and he woke up to find that it had never happened.
Although he and the Ninth Princess can't respect each other, since she is pregnant, they can get along harmoniously. He stayed by the side of the ninth princess, watching her belly grow bigger day by day, and he vaguely looked forward to the child.
Originally, everything was very good, and life was peaceful, but since he rescued a woman named Liu Liu, all this has changed.
He knew that the Ninth Princess had a bad temperament, so he tolerated everywhere, but the more he tolerated it, the more the Ninth Princess had to make inches. He really couldn't stand the willfulness of the ninth princess and her harsh criticism of Liu Liu. Quarrels ensued.
The ninth princess said that she was also the princess of Daning, and she was also the wife he was marrying. It's been less than a year since she passed the door, and if he wants to take a concubine, he is slapping her in the face.
He felt that she was really unreasonable. He has been in the barracks all the year round, surrounded by men, how can he have the idea of taking a concubine? Speaking of which, the problem lies with Liu Liu.
He also planned to send Liu Liu away, but Liu Liu's hometown is in Fucheng, and now the road is closed by heavy snow, so he can only wait until the beginning of spring next year.
Liu Liu was sold by someone's son, and he had no relatives and no reason in northern Xinjiang, so he had nowhere else to go except to follow them. Seeing that the ninth princess cared, he thought about sending Liu Liu to the palace and letting her do some work of serving tea and water.
Jin'er has always been lenient to her subordinates, and of course she will not embarrass Liu Liu. When spring bloomed and the snow melted, he arranged for someone to send Liu Liu back, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.
But no one could have imagined that the unexpected residence appeared on the way back to the palace. He was originally outside the carriage, but somehow the nine princesses in the carriage refused to take Liu Liu in.
Liu Liu, a weak woman who can't ride a horse, can't let her follow on foot, so he asks Liu Liu to take her. But Liu Liu was tortured a lot on the way to being trafficked, and he was afraid of people, so he refused to ride with others.
He had no choice but to let her ride a horse with himself. Liu Liu seemed to be very afraid of riding a horse, and after walking for a while, she kept feeling sick to her stomach. He had no choice but to send her back to the carriage again.
When Liu Liu got into the car, although the ninth princess's face was ugly, she didn't say anything in the end. He also thought that this time it would definitely be able to stop, who knows, something big will happen with just such a kung fu.
The first to notice an argument inside was the maid sitting outside the carriage. When they heard the voice of the ninth princess questioning, they thought that the princess was losing her temper, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Finally, the quarrel grew louder and louder, and the maids opened the curtain and asked Liu Liu what was going on. Liu Liu was so frightened that her face changed, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Ji Hongxuan didn't know what happened to him at that time, his temper that had been suppressed for a long time couldn't be suppressed at that moment.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want if you're a princess, I'm fed up with you!"
His words seemed to be the catalyst for the Ninth Princess's emotions, which made her explode all at once. She pointed to Liu Liu and said, "I'll let you throw her down now, and don't let her stay in the carriage with me anymore." ”
"Princess, you have to make one thing clear, and that is that this car is not yours, it is mine. As the owner of this carriage, I always have the right to decide who can sit in this carriage!"
The ninth princess seemed to be very angry when she heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go down and walk." ”
She is pregnant, and it is cold and snowy outside, no matter how angry Ji Hongxuan is, he can't let her come down. He could only compromise and say, "Can I let her come down?"
He waved at Liu Liu, and Liu Liu obediently wanted to get out of the car. The ninth princess was standing at the curtain of the carriage, but when she heard the words, she turned around and was about to go to the carriage, but suddenly she stepped on the air and fell off the carriage.
Ji Hongxuan was taken aback at that time, he ran over and picked up the ninth princess, wanting to ask her how she felt, and saw blood. The blood stained red and black, gradually staining her skirt red.
"It hurts......" This was the last sentence that the ninth princess said, and later, I don't know whether it was pain or anger, she never spoke again.
He knew that the child was gone, but in fact, he didn't feel much distressed, it wasn't what he wanted, and if it was gone, it would be gone. But he never forgot the two words that the ninth princess said, it seemed to be the root of his sin, it was he who did something wrong, but the pain made her bear it.
Ji Hongxuan has been standing at the door, he doesn't dare to go in, he doesn't dare to face it. He felt that everything in the house would put his guilt infinitely high and make him miserable.
Someone came out with a package, and he recognized this person as the midwife that his brother had invited for Jin'er. When his eyes touched the package, he was chilled, as if someone had brought a basin of cold water and poured it on him from the beginning.
Reason told him not to be curious, not to look at what was in the midwife's arms. But the hand seemed to be out of control, and still took the package.
As he expected, the package was a child. The child had just taken shape, and it was a small lump, and because it was a stillborn child, there were a lot of bruises.
His fingers touched the child, it was slippery and cold, without the breath and temperature of a living person. There was a sudden pain in his heart, a very severe pain.
This is his child, and if it weren't for an accident, he would have been born safely and then grown up. may be like Ji Boyan, who already has handsome eyebrows and eyes and a likable personality at a young age.
But none of this is possible. No matter how reluctant he was to accept this child at the beginning, he can now make his heart ache.
When the midwife saw that he was not looking good, she wanted to take the child back. Seeing that he was holding him tightly and not letting go, he knew that it was good to remind: "Master Hou, you just can't give it anymore, it's a stillbirth, you have to bury it, otherwise it will be unlucky." ”
Seeing that he still refused to let go, the midwife continued: "Master Hou, you better go in and see the princess! She is very uncomfortable now, and she needs someone to accompany her." The county lord is not too young to be tired. ”
Ji Hongxuan can be regarded as breaking free from that emotion, he handed the child to the midwife and entered the house. There are some things that you don't want to face, and you always have to face them.
The bloody atmosphere in the house was very heavy, and Nalan Jinxiu had just let the ninth princess change her clothes, and fed her a bowl of medicine. Seeing that she was tired and asleep, he sat silently on the edge of the bed and accompanied her.
"You can't help but be tired now, go back and rest first, I'll guard here. Ji Hongxuan said to Nalan Jinxiu.
Nalan Jinxiu has no mind to rest now, if she is sympathetic to the ninth princess, then Ji Hongxuan must be distressed.
"She's fine, she's just too tired, let her sleep well, you come out with me, I have something to say to you." Nalan Jinxiu didn't wait for Ji Hongxuan's answer, and got up and went out.
Ji Hongxuan glanced at the Ninth Princess and saw that she looked very pale, but she should have slept soundly. He knew that she needed to rest now, so he followed Nalan Jinxiu out of the house.
"You explain to me the ins and outs of the matter, and don't hide it at all. Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that when she said this, she was very similar to Ji Hongye, at least in Ji Hongxuan's eyes.
Ji Hongxuan didn't come to treat her as a family, and there was nothing to hide, so he explained the matter again. After Nalan Jinxiu heard what he said, her eyebrows and eyes became very cold: "That Liu Liu can be?"
Ji Hongxuan knew that something so big had happened to the ninth princess, and someone had to take care of it. However, he didn't want to pull innocent people on his back.
He shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with her, if you have to give Jinling an explanation, then let me go in person! After all, this matter started because of me, and I didn't take good care of the princess." ”
Nalan Jinxiu was a little angry when she heard what he said. Regardless of the relationship between the Nine Princess and him, the injured person was his wife after all, and the one who died was also his child.
He is not thinking about giving an explanation to his wife or children now, but thinking about how to deal with Jinling, and she can't be angry if she wants to. Nalan Jinxiu looked at him coldly: "Do you think this matter is to give Jinling an explanation?"
"Isn't it?"
Nalan Jinxiu admitted that maybe she was too emotional, she stabilized her emotions and said, "Do you know what kind of crime this is?"
Ji Hongxuan's expression was very calm: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, if something like this happens, it is natural to have a life for a life." I should be the one who paid for my life. Besides, it was my child after all, and it was a pleasure for me to be a companion to him. ”
"Nonsense!" Nalan Jinxiu couldn't suppress her anger now, she pointed at Ji Hongxuan, and said coldly: "I don't care how you want to protect that willow, this time, she will definitely not be able to escape the involvement." ”
Ji Hongxuan has always disapproved of one thing, that is, careless of human life. Because of their low background, they have to be the victims, what kind of bullshit is this?
"Jin'er, she is innocent, why do you want to do this?"
"You tell me clearly, what am I like?"
Nalan Jinxiu admits that she is pregnant now, and her temperament is not as kind as she is getting better, and she is trying to suppress it now. But no matter how depressed she is, she will inevitably get angry after hearing such words.
She really can't figure it out, Ji Hongxuan is not a good woman. Why did she have to protect that Liu Liu in this matter? Saying that she was innocent, she didn't believe it at all.
"This is the Zhenbei Palace, there is no housewife in the backyard at present, I am the county lord, of course I have the final say. "Nalan Jinxiu's identity has changed rapidly over the years, and it has also created the habit of being a master in her bones.
When she said this, of course Ji Hongxuan couldn't refute it. This is indeed the Zhenbei Palace, who does she want to deal with, naturally no one can stop her, and no one dares to stop her.
