Chapter 520: To add insult to injury
The soldiers didn't know what to say for a while, and for a while the silence in the carriage could even be heard breathing, and outside the carriage, the grunting sound of the wheels pressing on the ground rang clearly in the ears.
Just when Zhao Xi and his soldiers were silent, and their hearts were full of thoughts, the carriage stopped at a corner not far from Ling Wang's Mansion.
King Ling's Mansion is located in the Gulan Lane, the most valuable land in the capital, the lanes are wide and tidy, but anyone who can live in the Gulan Lane is basically the royal nobles and nobles and the nouveau riche; And in this Gulan Lane, the most noble status is naturally the crown prince and the crown princess.
King Ling's Mansion covers a huge area, accounting for almost half of the location of Gulan Lane, the palace is extremely noble, low-key and luxurious, especially in addition to Zhao Ling becoming the prince, Gulan Lane is more secluded and far-reaching, almost no one dares to jump here casually to disturb the peace and tranquility here.
However, after the incident in King Ling's Mansion today, Gulan Lane seemed to be lively all at once, and from time to time you could see people running around at the mouth of the alley of Gulan Lane, and the bold ones dared to walk a few steps inside.
Zhao Xi's carriage was parked not far from King Ling's mansion, so he naturally saw this scene clearly.
Imagining that at this time, the Ling Wangfu has become the talk of the whole city, and then thinking of the third sister-in-law who was trapped in the palace and restricted her freedom, Zhao Xi couldn't help but clench his fists and slammed on the wall of the car, which shows his anger at this time.
The soldiers looked at the cheeks that their prince was biting because of forbearance, thought about it again, and said: "Lord, the subordinates know these words and the prince can think of them, but the subordinates still can't help but remind the prince a few words; The emperor is clearly going to push you out to become a sword in his hand, if at this time, the prince submits to the emperor, so that the princess has a dislike for the prince, if the prince knows in the future, he will definitely blame you; His subordinates have been by the prince's side since he was a child, and he has seen with his own eyes how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves you, if you let His Highness know that you are involved in this matter; With His Royal Highness's character, I am afraid that the disappointment is greater than the pain, and at that time the brother's relationship will be broken, and it will be irreparable. ”
Zhao Xi naturally knew how much the third brother loved and believed in him, and it was precisely because he saw this clearly that his father arrived at him; If the news of the third brother came out of his mouth, the third sister-in-law must be convinced; And what the father wants is the third sister-in-law's 'deep belief'.
"But this king can't watch Qing'er and Luofu have an accident, Luo Cheng's life has just been saved, if there is an accident in Luofu at this time, with his injuries, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive; Qing'er respects her father and knows how cruel it would be to her if she was allowed to lose her biological father at this age. ”
The soldiers also knew the difficulties and struggles of their prince, but the lesser of two evils, in his opinion, even if he lost a Luo family and a beauty, it was not as important as losing his brother's trust; You know, that is the crown prince, the future emperor of Great Wei, if the prince takes the wrong step at this time, the future prince's glory and wealth may be cut off today.
The soldiers were worried about the prince's hesitation: "Prince, please think twice, Miss Luo is certainly smart and beautiful, but her subordinates think that there is never a shortage of beauties in this world, you see, even a stunning beauty like the crown princess has it, as the prince, what kind of beauty will you want in the future?" ”
Zhao Xi immediately raised his head and glared fiercely at his own soldiers, "Are you trying to persuade this king to give up Qing'er?" ”
The soldier knew how cruel his words were, because he knew very well that Miss Luo was the first woman he liked in the prince's life, and for men, the first woman he really fell in love with was often the most special; However, no matter how special a beauty is, she must grit her teeth and give it up when she should give it up.
"The subordinates don't want the relationship between the prince and the prince to be stiff, and they don't want to see a rift between the prince's brothers."
"Shut up!"
Zhao Xi said angrily: "This king thought that you could understand this king's struggle and hesitation, but I didn't expect that this king still overestimated you; The king has decided, and will tell the third sister-in-law exactly what his father and emperor explained to the king; Father is right, he just set up a plan to lure the third brother and the third sister-in-law into the trap, if they can't even pass this test, then their relationship is nothing more than that; But if they can survive, and the father and emperor have promised the king, he will not interfere in these matters again. ”
Saying that, Zhao Xi went to the car door with a cold face, and the soldiers looked at his back, and said anxiously: "Lord Wang, aren't you afraid of ......?"
The next sentence was not said by the soldiers, because he saw that his prince's hand on the car door was showing bulging green tendons, which showed that the prince was also trying to endure it at this time.
Zhao Xi's voice suddenly became softer, and said: "This king is afraid, afraid that the third brother will be angry, afraid that the third sister-in-law will leave the third brother, but this king is even more afraid that something will happen to Qing'er." ”
After speaking, Zhao Xi pushed open the car door, jumped out of the carriage, and then walked quickly along the outer wall of King Ling's mansion towards the place where he remembered the dog hole, and he looked anxious, as if someone was chasing him behind.
But only Zhao Xi himself knows best, he can't let himself stop at this time, he is afraid that as soon as he stops, he will regret the decision he is making now.
In the Flying Feather Courtyard
Chu Xingyue fell into a coma after losing too much blood, although she had the strong physique of the Tianding clan, but after suffering a head injury and bleeding so much, she still couldn't bear it and fell down; Otherwise, she would have used her heavenly eye to check the situation outside King Ling's Mansion and Zhao Ling in the palace.
Chun Xing worriedly took care of Chu Xingyue's side, and wiped the cold sweat on Chu Xingyue's forehead with a handkerchief of warm water again and again; After taking care of the young lady for a while, Chun Xing found that two hot flushes appeared on the cheeks of the sleeping young lady, and she subconsciously felt that the current young lady seemed to be a little bad, so she quickly reached out to touch Chu Xingyue's head, and when her fingers touched the hot facial skin, Chun Xing screamed in surprise, covered her mouth and cried.
Xiao Ruiyuan had been sitting on the round bench on the side and guarding Chu Xingyue's side, and when he heard Chun Xing's cry, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? ”
Chun Xing looked at Xiao Ruiyuan, whose eyes were round, and looked at him with pity and panic in her eyes with two packs of tears: "What's wrong?" The young lady had a fever. ”
Fever!?
Xiao Ruiyuan's heart was then raised, and he came to the side of the bed and stretched out his hand to probe Chu Xingyue's exposed facial skin, and carefully looked at her sleeping face at this time; I found that although Chu Xingyue was asleep, her breathing was a little abnormal, intermittent, wheezing heavily, and listening carefully was accompanied by a small whisper of pain.
Could it be that the wound on the forehead caused the inflammation, which caused the high fever?
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at Chunxing, who was constantly wiping her tears, and hurriedly urged: "Sister Chunxing, don't cry yet, go and find the doctor in the house to take a look." ”
"That miss, she ......"
"I'm here to watch, you go!"
Chun Xing listened to Xiao Ruiyuan's words, and quickly trotted out of the Feiyu Courtyard, Xiao Ruiyuan took Chun Xing's place, and kept bringing a moist handkerchief to carefully wipe her sister who was in physical condition; The self-blame in his heart instantly expanded, and he was to blame, in order to avenge his master, he chose to tell his sister the real cause of his master's death at this time, isn't this forcing her to bear the unknown whereabouts of Chu Shizi while ripping out her heart.
Xiao Ruiyuan, who has never regretted his decision, regretted it at this moment, if he knew that after knowing so many things, she would collapse because she couldn't bear it, he would definitely not choose to tell her the whole truth at this time.
Xiao Ruiyuan blamed himself and regretted it to the extreme, hugged Chu Xingyue's hand tightly, put it on the side of his face worriedly, and said sorry to her one after another, "Sister, it's Rui'er's mistake, Rui'er shouldn't be so willful and hurt my sister like this; Please sister, get better quickly, don't scare Rui'er like this, okay? ”
As he spoke, Xiao Ruiyuan also shed tears, his pink eyelids were fragile, his long eyelashes were stained with tears, and his glass-like black eyes were filled with guilt and deep apology.
"Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with her?"
Just when Xiao Ruiyuan was concentrating on taking care of the feverish Chu Xingyue, a nervous man's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he quickly looked back and recognized that this person was the Seventh Prince Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi looked at Xiao Ruiyuan, whose eyes were red from crying, and saw Chu Xingyue lying on the bed with gauze tied to her head, and her cheeks were printed with dry red...... The situation of the third sister-in-law is not very good?
Zhao Xi rushed up almost in great stride, and with so much strength that he unceremoniously pushed away Xiao Ruiyuan, who was guarding Chu Xingyue's bedside, and then stretched out his finger to probe Chu Xingyue's snort, and when he noticed that there was a warm breath constantly spraying on his fingers, Zhao Xi felt as if he had come back to life.
That's great! It's really great!
He still thought, thought...... Something really happened to the third sister-in-law.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Xi felt the stickiness on his back, and it turned out that at that moment just now, he actually scared himself out of a cold sweat.
"How do you take care of it? How could the third sister-in-law be so sick? What about doctors? What about the Imperial Doctor? ”
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the Seventh Prince who came out of nowhere, and hurriedly replied: "Chun Xing has already gone to call the doctor, I didn't take good care of it, I thought my sister was just injured, but I didn't expect her to suddenly have a high fever." ”
Zhao Xi didn't want to deal with a child here, so he didn't say harsh, but looked at the third sister-in-law who was injured and sick, and the idea he had already made up in his heart was shaken at this time.
