Chapter 7: Fear and Anxiety (2)

As soon as Lai Xing'er returned to the stable, he was looked at by Jinping and dragged him to see Jingxuan. When Jing Xuan saw Lai Xing'er, he finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and regardless of Wanrong Shang sitting aside, he reprimanded him with a slap in his face: "What a bold minion, he dares to deceive this palace." Aren't your feet broken? Where have you been fooling around in the past half a day? Quickly and truthfully. ”

Lai Xing'er had never seen Jing Xuan make such a big fire, so frightened that he fell to the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Niang Niang is angry, Rong Xiao's reply." When I woke up this morning, I found that my foot injury had healed, and it was okay to walk on the ground. At that time, the little one saw that Niangniang hadn't gotten up yet, thinking that he hadn't gone to ask his uncle for the New Year, so he wanted to go back quickly, and go to Wei to ask his uncle for a farewell, and it was not too late to rush back to listen to the dispatch. Who knows, before he left the palace gate, the little one was forcibly taken to a courtyard by two black-clothed men and detained. Later, an official interrogated me carefully, and then I was released. ”

Seventy percent of what he said was true, but he just hid the situation of meeting Fleur. Where did Jing Xuan know this, hearing him tell him truthfully, he couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you arresting?" Is you being held in the palace? Wanrong was shocked and frightened when she heard it, and she also hurriedly asked, "Are you not allowed to leave the palace gate now?" ”

Lai Xing'er lay on the ground and replied: "The person who interrogated the little one is an official, dressed in a green robe, and the other small ones don't know and don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Wanrong suddenly ordered in a shrieked voice: "You go, call Shang Jing here, this palace wants to ask him, what the hell is going on?" ”

Jing Xuan saw Wanrong's face flushed, and she couldn't stop trembling, knowing that she was terrified to the extreme, and what Xing'er said was really shocking, she also wanted to know what was going on earlier, so she rushed to Xing'er and said: "Wang Bao'er went to the inner fang early in the morning to inquire about the news, and has not returned yet, you go and take a look, if you can see Father-in-law Shang, please ask him to come here, and the palace and Dugu Niangniang have something to ask him face to face." ”

Lai Xing'er agreed, but his body didn't move, and he hesitated to report to Jing Xuan what he saw in front of the prince's inner square last night.

Jing Xuan saw that he was still kneeling, and scolded: "Did you hear my words, why don't you go quickly like a log?" ”

Lai Xing'er was heartbroken, raised his head and said: "Back to Niangniang, in fact, when the little one was sent to the inner fang to inquire about the news last night, the inner fang had been taken over by the forbidden army. The little one saw that they had arrested a woman, and I heard that it was the main culprit of the rebellion in the palace, but because it was dark at the time, the little one didn't see who it was. ”

Jing Xuanhuo stood up and asked, "Why didn't you say these last night?" ”

Lai Xing'er thought of Mama Xia, and Ling Ling shivered, but just bowed his head and said nothing.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Wang Bao'er walked in from outside. He waved at Jing Xuan and Wan Rong, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the two mothers, the prince is about to return to the palace." ”

Jing Xuan turned his head to look at Wanrong, and Wanrong was so happy that she put the tea bowl in her hand on the case with a "snap", and asked loudly: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Wang Bao'er replied: "This morning, Xiao was ordered to go to the inner square to find Father-in-law Shang, but I heard the people in the inner square say that Father-in-law Shang was called to the Linde Hall by the prince early in the morning. The small one had to wait in the inner fang, until noon, Shang Gonggong rushed back, the small one explained to him the intention, Shang Gonggong asked the small one to represent the two mothers, Wang Cairen had already cut himself last night, the emperor rejected the prince's recital, and ordered Li Jinzhong to inspect the East Palace, and the prince would return to the palace immediately. Shang Gonggong was ordered by the prince to come back in advance to arrange the handover of the East Palace access control, the matter was urgent, and he could not come according to the order, and he hoped that the two mothers would forgive him. Father-in-law Shang also specially explained that if there is anything given by Wang Cairen at the two mothers' offices, please dispose of it as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future. ”

Wanrong listened to Wang Bao'er say lightly that Wang Cairen was dead, remembering that she was still chatting with her in her palace yesterday, and she didn't see anything unusual about her.

Lai Xing'er knelt aside, heard Wang Bao'er say that Wang Cairen committed suicide, and suddenly remembered that the woman's voice heard in Grandma Xia's cabin on Chinese New Year's Eve was not Wang Cairen? The person Luo San'er and the people they captured must also be her, so wouldn't Mama Xia become Wang Cairen's accomplice? Then he thought of Furong and remembered that he was actually an eyeliner sent by the queen to the East Palace, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Lai Xing'er lay there in a trance, and when he heard Jing Xuan call his name, he blinked vigorously, forcing himself to get rid of his confusion and gather his spirit to listen to Jing Xuan's instructions.

Jing Xuan seemed to sense that Xing'er's expression was wrong, and wanted him and Wang Bao'er to send Wanrong back to Ning Xiangxuan together, but after thinking about it, he handed over the errand to Jinping, and Xing'er was left alone in the room in the future. Wanrong heard that the prince was about to return to the palace, and she didn't want to stay here in Jingxuan for longer, so she got up and said goodbye and went back to Ning Xiangxuan with the support of Wang Bao'er, Jinping and others.

There were only two people left in the room, Jing Xuan and Lai Xing'er, Jing Xuan called Lai Xing'er to stand up, and said with a cold face: "You have behaved perversely in the past two days, and you have deceived this palace a lot, and this palace wants to hear your explanation." ”

Lai Xing'er saw that he couldn't hide it, and thought that Grandma Xia had the grace to live in Jing Xuan, even if he told Jing Xuan what he had encountered, with Jing Xuan's usual person, he would not take Mother Xia like this, so he told Jing Xuan the truth about what happened to him on Chinese New Year's Eve in the cabin.

Jing Xuan was terrified when he heard this, and he was no longer as calm as when he heard Wanrong say that Wang Cairen was arrested for plotting rebellion in the morning, calmly, and asked Lai Xing'er with a pale face: "Have you ever told others about this?" ”

Lai Xing'er shook his head, in order to ease the tense atmosphere in the room, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I didn't really hear it that day, and I didn't know if I was a bystander. Rest assured, the little one will never mention this matter to others in the future. ”

After he said this, Jing Xuan's face softened a lot, but she still couldn't hide the fear in her heart, she kept pacing back and forth in the room, muttering to herself: "No, it won't be her." ”

It's not for Xing'er to leave, and it's not for persuasion, so I have to stand by the side and wait for Jing Xuan's arrival.

After touching two cups of tea, Jing Xuan stopped and said to Lai Xing'er: "You kid, I think I was stunned by the New Year, and Hu Xuan scared me with some unfounded things, go back and put two pillars of incense on the Buddha, and ask him to bless you from being confused." This time, this palace will remember that you are young and ignorant, so I will not pursue it, but you remember that in the future, you will not mention such things in front of this palace again. ”

Lai Xing'er is so smart, her eyes rolled, and she already understood the intention of saying this to Jing Xuan. He hurriedly knelt down and replied in a proper manner: "The little one must follow the mother's admonition." If the mother has nothing else to do, the little one will go and invite two pillars of incense to ask the Buddha to appear and drive away evil spirits. ”

Jing Xuan liked him in his heart that he was smart and clever, and he could see through a little, but he didn't show it on his face, and only asked, "Are you going to wander around again?" You go back to your room and wait, and later you will have your errands, and then you will not be found. ”

Lai Xing'er Nuonuo continued to speak, got up and withdrew from the room.

Wanrong returned to Ning Xiangxuan, only to feel that her back was sore and her legs were sleepy, and she was tired to the extreme, Rao was so, she still refused to go back to the bedroom, but sat down in the main hall, hoping to see the prince as soon as possible. Although Jing Xuan can withstand things better than her, but after all, she is a woman, and there is such a big thing in the palace, only by snuggling in the prince's arms, Wanrong feels down-to-earth.

Just as Wanrong hoped in her heart, as soon as the prince returned to the East Palace, he went straight to Ning Xiangxuan. Li Jinzhong, who came to the East Palace with the crown prince, wanted to ask the prince to come forward to preside over the inspection and verification of the matter, so as to avoid making too much noise, but the prince's face was not good-looking, and when he saw this situation, he had to give up and rushed to the inner square alone.

When the prince saw Wanrong, after some gentle words and reassurance, he asked someone to help her back to the bedroom to rest, and then ordered Zhu Shuang, the eunuch of Ning Xiangxuan's foreman, to go to the stable and call Xing'er over.

Lai Xing'er received the summons from the prince, and faintly felt that it must be related to Mama Xia, so she specially went to the upper room to tell Jing Xuan before leaving. Although Jing Xuan also had a premonition, it was inconvenient to say anything, just asked Lai Xing'er to send greetings to the prince.

Sure enough, as soon as the prince saw Lai Xing'er coming, he retreated left and right, and said to Lai Xing'er: "The palace is not restless these days, Dugu Niangniang's delivery date is approaching, and it is unbearable to be disturbed, this palace wants to transfer Xia's family to Ning Xiangxuan to take care of the decoction, you are familiar with Xia's family, and you are temporarily exchanged with Zhu Shuang and the two of them, come here to wait, are you willing?" ”

Lai Xing'er secretly complained, but the prince's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to wait for Ai Ai Dao: "The little horse breeder was born and clumsy, I am afraid that I will not be able to do a good job and make you angry."

The crown prince interrupted him impatiently: "Niangniang has someone to serve in front of her, you just need to listen to the Xia family's dispatch, her elderly people, there is no capable person in front of her, this palace is really not at ease, can you understand?" ”

Lai Xing'er couldn't help but raise his head, his gaze was opposite to the prince, only to feel that the prince's gaze was like a cold sword, straight into his heart, so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word again.

I heard the prince say again: "You go and bring the Xia family to Ning Xiangxuan immediately, and the palace is waiting here." ”
