Chapter 444: The Fallen Prince's Mansion
After the prince's mansion was guarded, no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, perhaps with Li Er's explanation, after listening to Wang Xiang's words, Du Xiong did not stop him, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty is very angry about this matter. ”
Wang Xiang sighed secretly, remembering the pain in Li Er's eyes when he left the Taiji Palace, I am afraid it was more sadness and pain than anger.
"Thank you, General Du, for the reminder." Wang Xiang said thank you and walked into the prince's mansion.
In the past, there were many servants and guards in the prince's mansion, but now there are only a few girls with sad faces walking in the courtyard of the prince's mansion with their heads down, and they only showed surprise when they saw Wang Xiang come in.
Since the Prince's Mansion was guarded by the palace forbidden army, no one has been here for a long time, and even His Royal Highness the King of Jin wanted to come over to visit the prince and was stopped by the forbidden army, but I didn't expect someone to be able to enter the prince's mansion today.
After seeing Wang Xiang's appearance clearly, a maid shouted softly: "It's the Marquis of Jiayuan who is here!" ”
"It's really Marquis Jiayuan, go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Wang Xiang smiled slightly, he didn't expect him to be quite popular, but the smile on his face couldn't be maintained when he thought of Li Chengqian's rebellion.
After a while, Wang Xiang saw Li Chengqian running out of the inner courtyard in a hurry, his hair was scattered, and his clothes were messy, and when he saw Wang Xiang, his cloudy and dim eyes suddenly burst into a light, and then quickly dimmed.
"I'm here." Li Chengqian's voice was full of bitterness, but Wang Xiang still felt his excitement to see him.
Wang Xiang saluted Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so ungroomed today. ”
Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter what kind of appearance, if Zixin comes a few days late, I'm afraid he won't be able to see me." ”
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"
"Don't call me the prince, you should know about me. I'm glad you can come and see me at this time. This friend of yours didn't make friends in vain. ”
Seeing that Li Chengqian's heart was like ashes. Wang Xiang sighed secretly and said, "Your Majesty has not decreed the abolition of the crown prince, why should His Royal Highness the crown prince ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted: "Zixin is not more comfortable than me, I know what crime I have committed." ”
When the two were talking, the two little maids stood cautiously next to them and didn't dare to look up, let alone interject.
Wang Xiang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, but instructed the maid next to him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, how many days has it been since you washed and tidied up?" I smell weird all over my body. Why don't you hurry up and wash up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"Huh?" The two little maids didn't expect Wang Xiang to suddenly say this, and they were stunned.
Li Chengqian was also stunned, he thought that Wang Xiang would continue to comfort himself, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing, and he immediately sniffed his nose in embarrassment.
"Does it really smell weird?"
Wang Xiang pretended to be disgusted and waved his hand: "I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go wash up and tidy up first, otherwise I won't be in the mood to drink two glasses with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Xiang with a disgusted face when he heard this, and suddenly burst out laughing after a while.
"Come on, wash and tidy up the king, and the king wants to have two cups with Zixin."
The two little maids glanced at Wang Xiang in surprise, during this time, Li Chengqian was in a mess every day, and no one was allowed to approach him, let alone help him wash and tidy up. That's why it's the way it looks now, and it's hard for anyone to persuade it. will be scolded and scolded by him, but I didn't expect to take the initiative to help him wash and tidy up now.
Li Chengqian went to wash and tidy up under the maid's service, while Wang Xiang sat in the living room eating snacks and drinking tea and waiting, when he suddenly saw the princess walking in with a big belly and the maid's support, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Hou Ye doesn't need to be polite, this palace is here to thank Hou Ye, the prince has been in a trance all day these days, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, fortunately Hou Ye came to ......" said and left tears, and the maid next to her hurriedly comforted her.
Wang Xiang looked at the haggard princess and sighed secretly, Guiwei was the crown princess who should have collected thousands of honors in her life, but now this is out of the file, looking at her appearance, I am afraid it will not take long to give birth, if it is not for Li Chengqian's rebellion, the prince's mansion should be festive and happy at this time, how can it be as desolate and sad as now.
Wang Xiang didn't know how to comfort the crown princess, so he thought about it and said: "The crown princess doesn't have to be too worried, I went to see Your Majesty just now, and I can see that Your Majesty's feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are still very deep, although this time the prince did a little too much." "It's not just a bit excessive, rebellion, if other people used Li Er's temper to order a big dismantling to vent their anger," I think Your Majesty will still remember the relationship between father and son. ”
"Really?" After listening to Wang Xiang's words, the crown princess was very excited, and she didn't call herself the palace anymore, and hurriedly said: "I know that Your Majesty is very important to the Hou Ye, and I hope that the Hou Ye can help the prince, I don't want the child to be born as soon as ...... Just ......"
"Why are you here!"
An impatient voice interrupted the princess's words, and Li Chengqian, who had washed and cleaned up, stood at the door of the hall with a frown, the whole person looked much more energetic than before, but Wang Xiang could see at a glance that he had lost a lot of weight, and the life of being guarded must not be easy.
"The concubine is here to ask Lord Hou for help." Li Chengqian's temper is very short-tempered these days, so the crown princess is also cautious when talking to him.
"What a favor! This matter is the king's own doing, I don't want to affect others, Zixin is here to ask me to drink, you quickly retreat. ”
Wang Xiang opened his mouth to persuade: "Actually, the crown princess also cares about you......"
"This king doesn't need to be cared for."
Looking at Li Chengqian's coaxing appearance, and then looking at the princess's trembling appearance with a big belly, Wang Xiang couldn't stand it.
"Prince!"
Hearing Wang Xiang's shout, Li Chengqian was confused: "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Xiang shook his head with an expression of hatred: "You keep saying that you don't want to affect others, so do you know that what you have done has affected many people?" ”
It was the first time that Li Chengqian had been criticized so directly, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Xiang and continued: "Maybe you think that you are not afraid of death, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the crown princess after you die, what will happen to the child in her belly, and what will happen to the subordinates who have served you conscientiously up and down the prince's mansion for many years?" And I, the head of the Prince's Mansion, if something like this happens to you, I can't escape responsibility. And, of course, Your Majesty, what about Your Majesty? ”
"Father?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Father, I'm afraid I hate me to death now." ”
Seeing Li Chengqian's sad face, Wang Xiang sighed and said: "Wrong, Your Majesty is more sad now than hate." ”
