Chapter 602: Choosing a Concubine
Wen Po's frightened voice was almost sharp and sharp, and it was heard from the room to the outside in one fell swoop.
Xiao Ruiyuan and the others, who had been waiting anxiously outside for a long time, almost changed their faces after hearing the words coming from the room, and Peach Blossom Eyes immediately rushed out, banging on the door and anxiously shouting to Wen Po to ask what was going on inside.
And Hu Chong was even more direct, kicking the closed door open with one kick, and after rushing into the room, he was about to break into it regardless of the oncoming smell of blood.
Wen Po, who was delivering labor in the room, heard the movement and felt that one head and two were big, and her hands were stained with blood and ran out, pushing Hu Chong, who rushed into the room, was about to throw him outside: "I said, what's the matter with you, a big man?" Do you know that pregnant women can't see the wind? Get me out! Get out! ”
Xiao Ruiyuan and Chun Xing were almost blocked at the door, and asked Wen Po what was going on, why did she suddenly have a difficult birth?
Hu Chong's eyes straightened as he looked at Wen Po's blood-stained hands, thinking that this blood was flowing out of Chu Xingyue's body, and in an instant, any reason and calmness were left behind by him; I saw that his fierce eyes lifted the hundreds of pounds of Wen Po, and then said viciously to Shang Wen Po's frightened eyes: "Remember! Mother and child must be safe! If they make the slightest mistake, I want your whole family's life. ”
Hu Chong is a real master of killing, when the murderous aura of the whole body bursts out in an instant, how can a small town of Wen Po not be frightened?
I thought that this family was just an ordinary family, but now that I look at it, it seems that things are not so simple.
Wen Po's frightened lips trembled, and she opened her round eyes to look at Hu Chong's eyes that were gradually covered with bloodshots, and she couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
After all, Peach Blossom Eyes wanted to be calmer, and quickly saved Wen Po from Hu Chong's hands, and then said to the frightened Wen Po: "My girl's identity is expensive, and the child in her womb can't make any mistakes, if something happens to her, I will definitely let people pay for her accident; I think you're a smart person, too, and you should be able to understand what I mean, and you won't let her really have an accident. Right? ”
Wen Po had already been frightened by the situation in front of her, nodded hurriedly, took a deep breath, and said boldly: "The old woman will do her best, but you should write it out, it is cold outside, and the blood in the room is heavy, you put the cold in like this, so that the mother suffers from the cold, even if the gods go down to earth, they can't save her." ”
Xiao Ruiyuan listened to Wen Po's words clearly, although he was worried about his sister's life at the moment, he knew very well that as a layman, they couldn't do anything at this time except for cooperating with the experienced Wen Po.
Therefore, seeing Hu Chong, who was standing still and not moving, Xiao Ruiyuan came up and dragged him out by the arm: "Didn't you hear what Wen Po said?" If you continue to stalemate here, you will kill your sister by the sea; Do you really want your sister to have an accident? ”
Listening to Xiao Ruiyuan's voice, Hu Chong, who was standing as if he had turned into a wooden stake, finally reacted, and he was almost dragged out by Xiao Ruiyuan; When he saw the door in front of him close again, the whole person seemed to be drained of all his strength, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.
Peach Blossom Eye and Chun Xing were guarding the door, guarding Hu Chong's side, listening to the faint, beast-like screams of pain coming from the room, everyone's hearts were pinched again.
Who would have thought that Chu Xingyue would encounter dystocia at this time; You must know that a woman's childbirth is already dangerous, and if she encounters a difficult birth, it will be a life of death.
Just when everyone was suffering, Zhao Ling, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sat up from the soft couch that was resting, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his hands were even more stubbornly picking at the soft edges, his eyes were round, and he was staring at the ground with straight hair and panting; It was as if he had been greatly frightened, and his eyes were full of panic and panic.
Hearing the movement coming from the room, the Night Charm who was guarding outside immediately rushed in, and when she saw His Highness's lost soul, Night Charm's heart was shocked, and she quickly ran up to hold her Highness's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hearing the voice of the night ghost, Zhao Ling was a little refreshed, looked at him, opened his mouth, and asked, "What about Yunxiao?" Hasn't he come back with news yet? ”
Night Charm said: "Has Your Highness forgotten?" Yun Gongzi only came back with a flying pigeon message three days ago, and according to the agreed time, it would take another seven days for him to have the next flying pigeon message. ”
After Ye Mei's reminder, Zhao Ling seemed to remember this incident, he turned his head to look at the table on the side, and said, "Pour me a glass of water." ”
Night Charm hurriedly poured a glass of water for him and handed it over: "Your Highness, are you having a nightmare?" ”
This kind of highness is really very similar to the appearance of waking up from a nightmare, but in this world, what is it that can make your highness scared like this?
Zhao Ling drank the warm water in the cup in one gulp, and then after wiping off the water stains from the corners of his mouth, the whole person was completely awake, looked at Ye Mei relaxedly, and asked: "Ye Mei, when you were young, did you hear the old people in your family tell you that nightmares are all reversed?" It's not real, is it? ”
As soon as Night Charm heard this, she knew that her guess was right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really having a nightmare; It's just what kind of nightmare can make him not only take it seriously, but also scare himself like this? Could it be...... Something to do with the crown princess?
Night Charm smiled at His Highness who was pale, and said, "Your Highness is right, when my subordinates were young, they did hear the old people in the family mention that the things in the dream are the opposite of our reality; For example, when his subordinates were young, they always had nightmares and dreamed that they were burned, but the next day, they would be beaten by their mothers because they wetted the bed; Therefore, Your Highness, you can't believe the things in your dreams, they are all dreaming after you fall asleep. ”
Zhao Ling, who was amused by the childhood anecdotes of Night Charm's 'bedwetting', pursed his lips and smiled slightly, he leaned on the cushion behind him, stretched out a hand and put it on his face, and after a long time, said: "Thank you Night Charm, if it weren't for what you said just now, I might not have been able to get out of that dream by now." ”
Ye Mei recognized that she couldn't afford to thank her master, and hurriedly said: "Your subordinates are the Jingwei beside Your Highness, so naturally you have to solve problems for Your Highness, all of this is the responsibility of your subordinates, and Your Highness doesn't need to thank you." ”
Zhao Ling knew that Jingwei was loyal and would definitely take the lead with his orders; It's just that the thank you just now really came from his heart, because the night ghost wouldn't know what he dreamed of in his dreams.
Since Chu Xingyue left, his sleep quality had been extremely poor, and it was already a luxury to be able to rest for two hours almost every day; Today is not just what's wrong, he rarely feels tired, and he will fall asleep in the study; But what he didn't expect was that not long after he closed his eyes, he dreamed of Chu Xingyue in his dream.
I thought that when I dreamed of her in a dream, it would be when she yelled at him, or dreamed that she was still by his side; But what he didn't expect was that in the dream, she was covered in blood, lying dying in a strange room, crying and muttering his name.
He wanted to rush over and hug her and ask her what was wrong, but no matter how hard he tried to run towards her, he couldn't get close to her, and finally could only watch helplessly and painfully as she swallowed in front of him.
This dream was too real for Zhao Ling, so real that it seemed as if it was really happening in front of him, so he woke up from his sleep in shock, even if he woke up, he couldn't reflect whether the environment he was in was reality or still in a dream for a long time.
"Your Highness, you haven't rested well these days, and it's rare to be able to sleep a little more today, so don't look at the excerpts anymore, rest more." Since the departure of the crown princess, there has obviously been too much less smile on the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince; Everyone thought that the crown prince was in charge of everything, but only those of them who took care of the prince knew that he deliberately immersed himself in the busyness every day, so as to forget the hostess who once lived in this palace.
They can all see that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no longer mentions the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness always has the figure of the Crown Princess in his heart; What if the Flying Feather Temple is sealed? Can you seal your heart? I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself doesn't know, the more desperately he restrains himself, in the end, those feelings that he desperately suppressed will still burst out.
Zhao Ling listened to Ye Mei's words and hummed softly, he was lying on the soft couch with his eyes closed, and the whole person seemed to have a sense of depression, such His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would only make people feel extremely distressed after seeing it.
This huge Lingwang Mansion has become cold and deserted since I don't know when, especially after the winter comes, it is even colder, making people feel that they can detect the coldness of the bones just by standing.
"How are the preparations for the selection of concubines?"
Suddenly, hearing His Royal Highness the Prince's question, Ye Mei immediately replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, all the female dependents of Beijing officials above the third rank in Beijing have been recorded, and then we will select women of appropriate age with both talent and virtue among the female dependents in the register to enter the palace as candidates; Your Highness, please rest assured, the household department has handled this matter very properly, and will definitely choose a few virtuous and intelligent side concubines for Your Highness. ”
Hearing Ye Mei's answer, Zhao Ling took away the hand covering his face and looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "What?" Do you even think that His Royal Highness has figured it out and feels lonely, so he chose a concubine? ”
Night Charm was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of His Highness's words.
Zhao Ling didn't want to say much about his thoughts, but just looked at Ye Mei's confused appearance, and said: "Tell the household department, don't be in a hurry to choose a concubine, let them choose slowly; However, the matter of choosing a concubine should be widely publicized, and it is best to let everyone in the Great Wei know about it; Don't all the big guys like to discuss things about His Highness? Now His Highness will satisfy their curiosity. ”
