Chapter Forty-Eight: Prince Guo's Secret
When I left Prince Guo's side, I saw Qiushui waiting anxiously for me, and beside her stood a small man who saw me coming from a distance and walked in my direction.
Qiushui immediately rushed towards me excitedly: "Little master, why have you been there for so long?" ”
I patted Qiushui's hand to signal that I was okay, and the two of us supported each other and walked towards Xiwu Palace.
On the way, Qiushui was still not at ease, and carefully asked me what I just said, but I didn't want her to know about my meeting with Prince Guo, first, I didn't want this girl to worry, and second, the less people knew about this matter, the better.
But Qiushui didn't want to let me go, she forced and asked: "Little master, just now the slave maid saw that the waist card on the waist of the little maid who stopped the slave should be the waist card of Prince Guo's mansion, and the person that the young lady met in the imperial garden was Prince Guo?" ”
When the second brother sent Qiushui, he once told me that Qiushui is a delicate person, and now I see that the second brother really didn't lie to me, but I can't deceive Qiushui, so I can only whisper to her: "Let's go back to Xiwu Palace, there are many people here." ”
Qiushui understood what I meant, and when he quickened his pace, he pulled me quickly towards the direction of Xiwu Palace.
Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone on the way, and I and Qiushui soon came to Xiwu Palace, walked into the inner room, and Qiushui took off the cloak for me: "Little master, it's cold outside, the slave maid will serve you a bowl of ginger soup, you use ginger soup and then lie down!" ”
I didn't say anything, just watched Qiushui leave the inner room, and soon came back with a bowl of ginger soup, watching me drink the ginger soup, Qiushui had no idea of leaving at all.
"Qiushui, do you want to ask what happened in the Imperial Garden?" I knew that Qiushui was worried about me, and if I didn't ask what was going on, I would definitely not give up, but after thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell Qiushui.
"I can tell you, but you also have to promise that you must not say these words to anyone, not even Bailu!" After Bailu came back, he began to feel sleepy, and he had already been driven back to sleep by Qiushui.
Qiushui heard my words and nodded: "Don't worry, little master, since the slave maid and Bailu were sent to the little master's side, of course everything they do is for the good of the little master, don't dare to hurt the little master." ”
Although Qiushui said this, what I wanted was not what they would do for my good, but what I wanted them to be absolutely loyal, so that I could rest assured that they would stay by my side: "You know, what I want is never the so-called good for me, what I want is my heart!" ”
I stretched out my hand and pointed to Qiushui's chest, telling Qiushui what I wanted, Qiushui looked up at me, as if a little embarrassed, but finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing Qiushui's agreement, I made it clear to Qiushui what happened in the Imperial Garden, and then I remembered the matter between Prince Guo and the emperor, and asked, "Qiushui, do you know any contradictions between the emperor and Prince Guo?" ”
Hearing this, Qiushui lowered his head and thought carefully: "The slave only knows that the first emperor favored Prince Guo, and it is said that he once threatened to make Prince Liguo the crown prince, but for some reason Prince Guo was sent to the frontier, and Prince Rong, who stayed behind, is now the emperor, became the crown prince. ”
Hearing Qiushui's words, I nodded, and sure enough, just like my conjecture, there is still a secret between Prince Guo and the emperor that cannot be said, as for this secret, it must be related to Prince Guo being sent to the frontier when he was the prince.
Even the emperor is partial to Prince Guo, so in this way, the Queen Mother and the Emperor should make Prince Guo the crown prince, but why has the crown prince become the current emperor?
"Little master, does this matter have anything to do with Prince Guo asking you to do things for her?" I nodded, since Prince Guo will find me, and also know that Lin Huaixing left home and used my name in the vicinity of the Western Regions, it is definitely necessary for someone closer to the emperor to do something for him that he can't do himself, but it is very important.
But I'm even more curious about what Prince Guo meant by saying that everything would settle in three years!
"Qiushui, in the past two days, you have to find out how to find out the things related to Prince Guo, even if you do things for him, you can't hand over your life to others without clarity." When the eldest lady took me and my mother back to the Lin Mansion, my mother and I thought that we would be able to live a good life in the future, but what awaited us was a cruel abyss.
Now, I have become the emperor's woman, although I have no real name, but I will never let the things of the past repeat themselves!
After Qiushui nodded in response, I waved my hand and motioned for her to go out.
There are really too many things that have happened these days, Concubine Shu is suspected of being pregnant, Wen Xiuyuan has returned to the queen's camp, and suddenly a Prince Guo who is at odds with the emperor and his heart has suddenly appeared, and Prince Guo has mastered Lin Huaixing's running away from home, all of which made me use too much energy, so not long after lying in bed, I had already closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qiushui woke me up and said that Concubine Shu had come over: "Little master, Concubine Shu said that you have lost a lot since you entered the palace, so I came here to take a look, and I brought a lot of things!" ”
I heard the word Concubine Shu and instantly fell asleep, at this time Concubine Shu came to me, it is definitely not the kind of relationship that wants to see me on the surface, she must have some ulterior secrets, and there are rumors in the palace that Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon species, if Concubine Shu has an accident in Xiwu Palace at this time, I can't get rid of it with my mouth.
I immediately got up and told Qiushui to dress up for me quickly: "Qiushui, hurry up, don't make Concubine Shu wait for a long time!" ”
Qiushui's hands and feet are the most nimble, half an hour later, I appeared in the side hall of Xiwu Palace to receive guests, Concubine Shu has been waiting for a long time, and her face can already see obvious impatience.
"Lin promised to be a big score, and he actually made our concubine wait for so long!" Before Concubine Shu could speak, Aunt Jingtai, who was beside Concubine Shu, began to complain about Concubine Shu.
I hurriedly walked to Aunt Jingtai's side and saluted to Concubine Shufu: "Concubine Shu Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an, the concubine was drunk at the banquet yesterday, Qiushui and Bailu, the two girls, couldn't bear to wake me up, which made Concubine Shu wait for a long time, and asked Concubine Shu to forgive me." ”
My words are not leaky, but Concubine Shu didn't seem to be angry at all, she gave me a handful of help: "Get up, look at your child, admit your mistakes at every turn, this palace didn't say that it blames you." ”
didn't say you want to blame me, but you connived at Jingtai to speak disrespectfully to my master, even if you are really not angry in your heart, I am afraid that you have to stand up in front of me, although I think like this in my heart, but my face is still a look of grievance.
"Thank you Concubine Shu for your compassion, I don't know that Niangniang came to Xiwu Palace so early, but there is something important?" I asked cautiously, but Concubine Shu stood up from the collapse, as if she was looking around the side hall of Xiwu Palace.
"This is the dormitory of the main palace back then, and now it is given to the niece of the main palace, and it can be regarded as the emperor's heart." Concubine Shu said seemingly casually.
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and this word came to my ears, and I thought that Concubine Shu was beating me and making me understand that everything I have obtained now is just what the emperor gave me last time in her face.
"Yes, Concubine Shu is right, if there is no Niangniang, where will the concubine have a foothold in this harem." I will express my respect to Concubine Shu to the fullest, but I don't need to look up to know that Concubine Shu said these words to provoke me, and I knew from my mouth that there was something between Wen Xiuyuan and the queen, but they didn't expect that I would be so forbearing.
Seeing that I still refused to say anything useful, Concubine Shu changed her tactics: "Huaixing, why can't I hear you call Aunt Bengong these days?" ”
I pretended to be frightened by Concubine Shu, and immediately knelt at her feet: "Concubine Shu is serious, the concubine once remembered Concubine Shu's teachings to the concubine, as soon as she entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, and the former aunt and nephew relationship was broken." ”
Concubine Shu was so angry with my words that she choked up in her throat, but she couldn't vent to me immediately, she walked to my side, pulled me up from the ground, and took me to her side: "Huaixing, although I said so, outsiders will still think that we are aunts and nephews, if my aunt's life is not good, even if you live in Xiwu Palace, it is useless!" ”
It seems that Concubine Shu is kind-hearted and is teaching me bitterly, but I just want to laugh: "Concubine Shu doesn't have something to do with a concubine, as long as the concubine can do it, the concubine will do her best!" ”
Concubine Shu's big eyes were rolling slightly, and she immediately thought of her words: "This palace heard that Wen promised to get very close to the queen recently, Huaixing, you are a good sister of Wen Promise, do you know how Wen promised it?" ”
Concubine Shu was afraid that I would guess something, so she immediately explained: "Don't worry, my aunt just wants to know how Wen Promise is doing recently, didn't you say that Wen Promise was injured two days ago?" This time this palace brought her a high-quality rejuvenating cream, and I heard that even an ugly girl can become a beauty with a rejuvenating cream. ”
Saying that, Concubine Shu glanced at Jingtai, Jingtai immediately understood, took a box of ointment from the things brought this time, opened it and showed it to me, I saw that the paste inside was pale red, but it smelled like the elixir I asked for from the queen for Wen Xiuyuan.
But the elixir I asked for from the queen is milky white, and I can't see it on my face at all, so what is this box in Concubine Shu's hand now?
I thought about it but didn't answer: "Concubine Shu also saw it, although Sister Wen's face was indeed injured, but fortunately, there was the elixir of the queen's mother, and Sister Wen's face had recovered at the banquet yesterday, so Concubine Shu's kindness Concubine thanked Sister Wen on behalf of her, but this ointment, the concubine could not accept it." ”
Concubine Shu seemed to remember the scene she saw at the banquet yesterday, a pair of jade hands tightly clenched the Jinpa in her hand, the Jinpa made a cracking sound, Jingtai turned her head and handed the ointment to Concubine Shu, blocking my sight.
I only want to persuade Concubine Shu and let Concubine Shu not show anger in front of me, after all, my relationship with Wen Xiuyuan is good, which is something that everyone in the palace knows, if I tell Concubine Shu about Concubine Shu's intention today, the queen will definitely stare at Concubine Shu and find her fault, this is definitely not the result that Concubine Shu wants to see.
"Since Wen Answer can't be applied, then Huai Xing will take it, Wen promised to be injured is also the fault of this palace, this palace punishment is too strict, some of these things brought today are for Huaixing, and some of them are for Wen Promise, Huaixing will also help me transfer them!"
When Concubine Shu spoke, Jingtai opened the brocade boxes on the round table in the side hall one after another, and there were indeed some precious items rewarded by the emperor, but if I received such a thing, it would be taken out by Concubine Shu in the future and say, wouldn't I become a thief in the palace?
