Chapter 73: The Prison Guards
"To humble the post, the lady is too kind, and if she is another concubine, she will already report to the king that she will be executed, so as to set an example and prevent future troubles."
There was some sadness in Ouyang Jing's eyes.
Xi Fei sighed lightly, looking at the entire Taohuawu, it is not only the most beautiful place in the Chu Palace, it costs a lot of money, has perfect facilities, and has a vast area, it is simply the king's palace, and the concubines of the same king are treated differently, and it is normal to be resented.
"No one is perfect, who can be without fault? In this matter, the palace also has a great responsibility, the king is the king of the entire Chu country, and also the man of all the concubines in the entire harem, the palace should persuade the king to be wet with rain and dew, not to mention that she is a concubine, but the king is always thinking about Taohuawu, and rarely goes to her, she holds a grudge, and it is reasonable. ”
Ouyang Jing raised his good-looking cheeks and looked up at the sky, revealing the distinct outline of his side face, and Xi Fei was stunned for a while.
Ouyang Jing seemed to feel the gentle gaze, pretending to be casual and lowered his head, and said with a slight squint in his starry eyes: "I hope she can change her mind as Madame wishes, and give herself a way out. ”
Xi Fei looked at Ouyang Jing sincerely.
"Thank you, General!"
"This is where the duty of the lowly lies, so the lowly duty will be resigned first, and if there is anything, quickly let the guards pass the word to the subordinates, and the subordinates will not resign."
Ouyang Jing bowed his hand to Xi Fei, strode out of the water pavilion, and walked towards the door.
When the guard captain saw Ouyang Jing, he hurried over.
Ouyang Jing twisted his eyebrows and said: "Right now, Mrs. Peach Blossom is pregnant, you have a great responsibility, you must be in good spirits, do your best to protect her, and don't let the gangsters have any opportunity to take advantage of." ”
"Subordinates follow the teachings!"
Ouyang Jing just wanted to turn around, and after a little thought, he was worried that the guards would let down their vigilance when they saw that Jiang Li had a close relationship with Xi Fei, so he told him again: "Inform me, except for the king, anyone may be unfavorable to Mrs. Peach Blossom, you must be good at observation and meticulous." ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Originally, when Xi Concubine moved to the Incense Pavilion, King Wen of Chu asked Ouyang Jing to send elite and capable guards over, and when he learned of such a thing today, Ouyang Jing thought that it was not enough to just send more people, he still had to inspect more, it seemed necessary to let people follow Jiang Li and observe her every move.
Moving into Taohuawu is a great thing for Jiang Li, not only has the opportunity to get close to the king, but now she is pregnant as she wishes, in addition to the surprise, she is also very worried, afraid that the concubines in the harem will know, and they will also harm her.
However, Jiang Li's pregnancy this time, compared to the last time, was extremely squeamish, and the morning sickness was extremely obvious, so that she didn't dare to see Xi Fei again, for fear of being discovered by her, Jiang Li knew that while harming people, she had to guard against people.
Jiang Li hid in the house every day and couldn't sleep well, and finally survived three months, but she still didn't hear the good news she was looking forward to from the Incense Pavilion.
Because the people arranged around Xi Concubine were personally selected by Wei Gonggong, and because she was ordered by Wei Gonggong to vacate the Ganlu Hall when Xi Fei first came to Chu State, the two had a big quarrel, and now they regret that the words scolded at that time were too poisonous and hurt Wei Gonggong's self-esteem, so that later Wei Gonggong twisted his head when he saw her, as if he had met an enemy, so don't want to start with the people he arranged.
If you can't insert people, you can't accurately grasp the current situation of Xi Fei in a timely manner, and I don't know if she insists on eating those things, Jiang Li racked her brains all day long about this matter, thinking that this matter seems to have to start with the people around her.
With the passage of time, the fetus in the womb grows up day by day, which also stimulates Jiang Li's maternal love, she is kind in nature, her heart is quietly changing, and she gradually forgets about the things that are going to harm Xi Fei, and she doesn't want to do anything hurtful anymore. She just wants to give birth to her child in good health, it is not so important to be favored or not, she has lost her relatives since she was a child, and she feels that as long as there are children to depend on each other in the future, it will be better than everything.
On this day, Jiang Li found that the feeling of wanting to vomit seemed to disappear, and she held it in the house for too long, standing in the yard early in the morning to breathe fresh air, but she seemed to smell a sweet orange smell in the air, and immediately secreted a mouth full of saliva.
Pregnant people are so peculiar, when they want to eat something, their throats are like claws stretched out, this thought is a lifetime, they can eat it immediately, and there is no time to delay, Jiang Li ordered Xia He to hurry up and buy oranges for her at the market.
Originally, on weekdays, Chun Tao and Xia He would not leave Jiang Li's side at the same time under normal circumstances, but today it was a coincidence, Chun Tao didn't know if she had a bad stomach, and went to the toilet several times in the morning.
Xia He glanced at Chun Tao, who was holding her stomach and running to the toilet, and said, "Niangniang, why don't you wait for Chun Tao to get better?" The slave and maid left, in case Chun Tao was going to run to the toilet again, there would be no one around the mother. ”
At this time, Jiang Li, all that appeared in front of her was the oranges that seduced her mouth, where could she take care of so much, so she hurriedly stuffed some Yinzi gold in Xia He's arms, and pushed her out.
"This palace is not a three-year-old child, there will be nothing for a while, it's okay, you just go and go back quickly!
Xia He was helpless, and turned back as he walked and said: "The slave maid is going, if Chun Tao is just not there, the mother will be called Chun Xi if she has something, she is also quite ingenious, just now the slave maid asked her to go to the kitchen to boil some peach blossom soup for the mother, it should be soon." ”
"Got it, go!"
Seeing Jiang Li's eagerness, Xia He didn't care about her image, so she ran away and hurried to the market.
Xia He left less than an hour, Chun Tao went to the toilet several times, her legs were weak, and she had to hold on to the wall to walk again, so naturally it took longer.
Jiang Li also seemed to have a claw sticking out of her throat, and she just wanted to eat the sweet and sour oranges, so she stood anxiously under the big camphor tree in the yard, looking towards the intersection from time to time, expecting Xia He to hurry back with the yellow and sweet oranges.
Suddenly, a masked man in black gently landed beside Jiang Li, the reason why she used the word "fall" was because she didn't see anyone moving at all, let alone hear footsteps, the only possibility was that this person was hiding in this dense camphor tree in advance.
I saw that the man quickly stuffed something into Jiang Li's hand, and before she could react, she flashed into the flower bed with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
Jiang Li looked around vigilantly, but there was no one.
Thinking about it, it is also desolate, although she has the name of the concubine and lives in this gorgeous and warm peach blossom dock, but she knows that this peach blossom dock was built by the king specifically for Xi Fei, and she is just stained with the light of Xi Fei and gave her to live.
In terms of battle, she is far inferior to Xi Fei, when she used to live with Xi Fei, the guards can be seen everywhere, and now Xi Fei moved to the Xiang Pavilion, and those guards also changed positions, the Xiang Xiang Pavilion is heavily guarded, and it is not easy for her to visit herself, and she is often turned away by the guards on the grounds that Mrs. Peach Blossom needs to recuperate.
And here, it is rare to see the shadows of a few guards.
Think about it, because I have been suffering from morning sickness recently, I am worried about being discovered, and the king has also come a few times, and I just vomited badly, and I rejected him on the grounds of physical inconvenience.
Fortunately, since moving into Taohuawu, the man in black has never appeared again, and there happened to be no one around him today, so he appeared so cleverly, is it really as Empress Dowager Qi said, someone is watching him? I couldn't help but sink in my heart, and my heart, which had just been relaxed for a few months, was suspended again.
Is the Lord urging again? Jiang Li peeked at the thing in the palm of her hand and walked quickly towards the house.
