Chapter 185: Guilt

Actually, sometimes I insist on going out and have nothing to do, I just want to walk outside, and after arriving in the city, Mingxiu didn't go to his own restaurant, but went straight to the snack street in the city.

Eating is always the best way to pass the time.

It's just that......

Quietly pinching her little belly, Mingxiu felt that she might have to control her weight.

There are always people gossiping at the tea stall, and it's okay left and right, Mingxiu sat down and asked for a bowl of tea for himself, just listening to gossip.

"Did you hear that? Becoming a king can't have children! ”

"And what's going on? Where did you hear that, this is not nonsense. ”

It's not a small matter for royal people to not be able to have children! King Cheng has a son! If he is unable to have children, the origin of this son is very meaningful.

"My daughter-in-law's father-in-law is the imperial doctor in the palace, and he personally diagnoses King Cheng's pulse, can this be fake?"

Holding his chin and looking at the people who spoke, Mingxiu thought about it, and felt that the name King Cheng was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had heard of it.

When he was distressed, the egret whispered, "Isn't King Cheng the brother of the current saint?" Why hadn't I heard about him not being able to have children before? ”

"At that time, the emperor was still alive, how could King Cheng publicize this." Even if you really can't have children, you can't say it, not only that, but you have to try your best to hide it!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a direct telling to the world that he had no chance with the throne?

Now that Cheng Wang is really out of luck, he can also find someone to diagnose and treat him with great fanfare.

I just don't know which imperial doctor is so bold as to dare to tell others about the royal matter.

Although the people of this era are still free to speak, the people who have free speech do not include people like doctors and doctors.

Their professional ethics must be strict and they must not disclose the patient's information without authorization.

Even if it's an ordinary patient, let alone royal?

Mingxiu shook his head secretly in his heart, it seems that this doctor's errand will not last long.

The egret suddenly realized, "I see." ”

didn't answer, Mingxiu was in a bit complicated.

In fact, she has always been like the people of the world, feeling that Xie Zhan did not succeed to the throne but chose a little prince who has not yet grown up, that is, the current emperor to inherit the throne, because he does not want to be bound by the position of emperor, but he wants the power of the emperor.

I thought about supporting a puppet to take the position, so that I could have the best of both worlds.

After all, it seemed that King Cheng was more suitable for sitting on the dragon chair than today's saints.

His talent is good, if he becomes a king, Xie Zhan will be able to retire even if he succeeds.

But how can a person who is not able to have children inherit the throne?

Mingxiu faintly understood Xie Zhan's choice in her heart.

At the same time, I feel guilty for my villainous heart.

Seeing that Mingxiu didn't speak, and his face was a little ugly, Bai Lu didn't know where he said something wrong, and said cautiously: "County Lord, you asked Huang Li to investigate the matter last time, and you already have eyebrows." ”

"Why didn't she tell me herself?"

Glancing at the egret, Mingxiu felt very strange in her heart.

Although Huang Li's girl is not good at words, she is not an unmeasured person.

Although the egret is good, her mouth is a little broken, and Mingxiu, who is not strict in her mouth, doesn't want her to know too much.

"Huang Li said that she did something wrong and was punished by you, and it was not good to wander in front of you and annoy you, so she asked the slave maid to pass the word." Egret didn't have that much thought, since Huang Li asked her to relay it, then it was okay to relay it.

"It is said that Zhao Qiao was ordered to be expelled from the capital by the prince because of his entanglement with the regent, and he was never allowed to enter, and her father seemed to be implicated, but the border city is high and the emperor is far away, what is the situation, and the news will not come back for a while."

Zhao Qiao pestered Xie Zhan?

Mingxiu thought it was a little funny, but it was something she could do.

He didn't answer, and motioned for the egret to continue.

"Her husband, it seems that he was exposed because of his fame, and he was beaten and extorted from the capital, and now he doesn't know where he is." The egret thinks that this man may have starved to death.

"Buy fame?" Mingxiu was a little surprised, she remembered that it was legal for the desert to sell officials and lords, as long as it was through the formal way, it shouldn't be punished, right? At most, it's a couple of words.

Li Guangyu's family is so poor, where did he get the money to buy Xiucai to become famous.

"The official positions that we buy and sell in the desert are numerous, and fame cannot be bought and sold." The egret looked at the master in embarrassment, for the master or something, would it seem that she was too showy.

The slave knows more than the master, and it's not an easy thing.

Mingxiu suddenly realized that not all famous official positions can be bought and sold.

In fact, this thing also makes sense, if any position can be bought and sold, what will become of the court now? Is there anyone else doing practical things?

Under the worried eyes of the egret, Mingxiu bowed slightly, indicating that he already knew.

After waiting for a long time, the egret didn't wait for Mingxiu's next words, and seeing that Mingxiu's face was obscure, she didn't dare to speak again.

"Please go to the Regent's Palace."

At some point, a man kneeling on one knee appeared in front of him, startling Mingxiu and the egret.

Mingxiu didn't answer.

"Who are you? You say you're the regent? ”

Although she didn't know much about the people in the Regent's Palace, generally speaking, the people sent by Xie Zhan to invite people were usually people who had met Mingxiu before, and they would not send a stranger.

The egret looked at the visitor vigilantly, ready to run away and call for help.

"Let's go." Mingxiu didn't speak because he didn't believe in the identity of the person who came, this person was the secret guard next to Xie Zhan, and he usually didn't show up, and Mingxiu only had a relationship with him.

But even if she rarely saw it, she could be said to be impressed by every secret guard around Xie Zhan.

This doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the temperament on the dark guard is really rare in normal people.

It's rare, so I'm impressed.

The egret glanced at his master worriedly, and when he saw Mingxiu's confident face, he knew that what this person said was true.

It's not embarrassing, and I keep up in silence.

"Why did the prince suddenly come and invite me?"

The dark guards have all come forward, and Mingxiu can't refuse the invitation if he wants to, so it's better to cooperate than to be forcibly taken away.

But the situation still has to be asked.

The dark guard said in a low voice: "The prince is sick and wants to see the county lord." As if he was afraid of being heard, he kept his voice very low.

Xie Zhan's illness is indeed a big deal, Mingxiu didn't doubt it.

"Are you sick?" It shouldn't be light, Mingxiu thought about it, with Xie Zhan's pride, she said it to death last time, and if she wasn't seriously ill, she shouldn't want to see her.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

“…… The county lord will know when he goes to see it. ”

didn't get a positive answer, but Mingxiu was even more worried.

Hurriedly walked in the direction of the Regent's Palace.

Born in the dark guard, the footsteps are naturally not slow, but she deliberately slowed down in order to let Mingxiu keep up, and now she suddenly accelerated, and the dark guard adapted to mediocre.

But the egret doesn't have such good strength.

After walking for a while, he began to be out of breath.

This girl has really never suffered or been tired since she hit Mingxiu, and now she can't stand it anymore just by walking two steps.

Mingxiu is actually similar, but because he is in a hurry, his physical fatigue has temporarily eased a lot.

Turning around by chance, he saw the red face of the egret, and Mingxiu knew that it was his own recklessness.

"You follow slowly, don't be in a hurry and take your time, I'll tell you to keep the door."

Even if the egret arrives, there is no need to worry about not being able to enter the door of the Regent's Palace.

Hearing this, the egret couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Lord Shire."

She was a little embarrassed, obviously following her master out, but she still had to adapt to the master, she was really incompetent as a minion.

Egret secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must exercise hard when he goes back, and such a thing cannot happen again.

All the way to Xie Zhan's room.

This was the first time Mingxiu had set foot in Xie Zhan's private territory, and she had never thought about it before.

The Prince Regent, who was in good spirits in the past and seemed to always be confident, was now lying on the bed with a pale face, but his eyes were still firmly open, looking at the door as if he was expecting something.

The moment he saw Mingxiu, Xie Zhan's eyes lit up slightly, but they quickly dissipated again.

"You're here."

The attitude is flat, as if Mingxiu just went out once, and now he is home.

Now Mingxiu didn't want to care about this, and took two steps forward to take a closer look at Xie Zhan's face, how did he look like he was terminally ill.

"What's wrong with you? What did the doctor say? ”

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the bronze ice basin not far from the foot of the bed, and his brow furrowed.

No matter how delicate this ice basin is, Mingxiu just doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

"How can you still use ice when you're sick? What's good if you catch a cold again? ”

How would you be here if you didn't use ice?

A smile flashed in Xie Zhan's eyes, "There is no woman in the family, and the housekeeper thinks inappropriately about everything." Didn't you hear what the county lord said? Don't hurry up and get down yet! ”

The latter words were clearly said to the butler.

The housekeeper couldn't help but smile bitterly, Mingxiu was really the only one who could hold Xie Zhan in this world.

Looking around left and right, Mingxiu was a little strange, "Why don't you see the doctor?" What's wrong with you? ”

"It's not a serious illness, ahem...... It's just a little hot. ”

Touching his forehead, Mingxiu's brows furrowed, "In summer, the wind and heat are even more difficult, why don't you pay attention to it?" Don't the girls around you remind you? ”

The words that Fang had just heard at the tea stall made Mingxiu feel a little guilty about Xie Zhan in his heart, and his attitude was unprecedentedly gentle.

It made Xie Zhan a little flattered.

He opened his eyes to see Mingxiu, is this still the one he knows? Don't be dropped, right?

"What am I talking to you about, staring?!" Mingxiu was a little angry, where is there such a person who doesn't care about his body?

He now has the lifeblood of the desert on his body, and they all say that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but now the king is still a little doll, if something happens to Xie Zhan, the regent, then he must not mess up?

"It's the people around me who are not good, you can talk about them later, and you will listen to you no matter how you want to punish them."

The last time the two met, they had a big quarrel, and now Xie Zhan has the attitude that Mingxiu is the heroine, so he almost handed over the stewardship of the palace to her.

Mingxiu was dumbfounded, "I'll tell you about the people around you, what's the matter?" ”

"County Lord, the medicine is here."

The medicine given to Xie Zhan was handed over to Mingxiu, and the meaning was self-evident.

Xie Zhan looked at her pitifully, "My hands are weak......

How do you feel like you're being coquetted?

Mingxiu sighed, but he didn't really ignore him, and handed a spoonful of medicinal soup to his mouth: "Open your mouth." ”

As long as Mingxiu is in front of him, he will naturally do whatever he says, and the whole person is very obedient.

The housekeeper quit with each other, but the egret wanted to stay.

"What is the pestle doing here? Don't you see the master talking? ”

No matter what opinions the defeat has, it will have to be forcibly pulled away at this time.
