Chapter 406 suspects that the crown princess is feigning illness

After the two of them entered, they found that Nangong Jingchen was already sitting inside, the expression on his face looked difficult to understand, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two of them saluted Nangong Jingchen who was sitting there together, and then obediently waited for Nangong Jingchen to speak, but now Nangong Jingchen didn't seem to want to speak too much, so they kept letting the two of them stalemate there.

"Get up, do you know why Prince Ben called you over?" Nangong Jingchen's tone when he spoke could be said to be very unfathomable, which instantly made the witty words that had just gotten up nervous.

"The slave doesn't know." Witty Yu, who had been waiting by Gu Qingsheng's side, was the first to say such a sentence, and then quietly reached out and waved his hand at Lian Zhu.

Nangong Jingchen quietly took her small action into her eyes, but there was no other expression on her face, not to mention anything else, just the action of the two of them, Nangong Jingchen felt that they must have something to hide from themselves, which made her feel more and more that Gu Qingshang was pretending to be sick.

"The crown princess is sick?" Although he said that he had already asked this question, Nangong Jingchen still wanted to confirm it again.

No one expected Nangong Jingchen to ask like this, and both of them couldn't help frowning, wondering if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had begun to be suspicious about this matter, but they still pretended that nothing had happened on their faces.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, yes." This time she opened her mouth to answer Lianzhu, because she felt that if she didn't speak like this, it would be easy to be misunderstood, and it would even cause a series of bad effects on the crown princess.

Nangong Jingchen was very surprised by Lian Zhu's sudden answer, but he didn't dispel the fact that he was still suspicious of Gu Qingsheng pretending to be sick in his heart, and he still asked quietly: "Do you know what disease the crown princess has?" When the prince went to see it this morning, he heard that the princess was coughing badly, so what did the imperial doctor say? Do you have any methods to use? ”

Witty Lianzhu couldn't help frowning when she heard this, the crown princess was pretending to be sick, how did they know what method to use?

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Imperial Doctor said that the Imperial Concubine Niangniang was completely greedy for cold, so she ate a lot of cold things, which caused the cough, but the Imperial Doctor has come up with a good way for the Imperial Concubine to let the Female Concubine's stew pear soup to drink, so the Slave and the Maid believe that the Imperial Concubine will definitely get better soon."

Just when Nangong Jingchen thought that they had nothing to explain to him, except for the occasional one or two words before, Lianzhu, who had not spoken much, suddenly said something to explain the previous situation.

"Then the crown princess can be seen to be getting better now?" Nangong Jingchen subconsciously raised his eyebrows, then looked at Lian Zhu and nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly changed the topic and asked such a sentence.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has improved slightly, but it will take some time, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the Crown Princess, I'm afraid it will take a few days." This time it was a witty word, and her words sounded very convincing, but Nangong Jingchen still felt that something was not quite right.

"Okay, if there's nothing to do, you can go out first, the prince has already finished asking what he wants to ask." As he spoke, Nangong Jingchen waved his hand and directly let the two of them who stood there with no expression on the surface, but in fact, they were really panicked.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Seeing this, Lian Zhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted him, and then hurriedly left Nangong Jingchen's study.

The butler, who had been waiting there outside, saw the two of them coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not embarrassed for you, right?" ”

Now the witty words that are very flustered in their hearts instantly felt a little frightened when they heard this, so why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince embarrass them? That's clearly deliberate!

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say so, so he saw the witty words look at the housekeeper with a smile, and then said something like this: "Don't worry, the housekeeper, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not embarrassed our two sisters." ”

The housekeeper who heard this instantly put his mind at ease, "That's good, that's good, you better go back to the princess's courtyard area to take care of her, when His Royal Highness knew that the princess was sick, he listened to the little guy who came back with His Royal Highness the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince was absent-minded when he attended the banquet!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they subconsciously looked at each other, neither of them said anything else, just nodded to the housekeeper, and then left Nangong Jingchen's study directly.

After the two of them left, Nangong Jingchen, who was alone in the room, directly called the housekeeper in.

Because when he went in, he found that His Royal Highness the Prince's face was very bad, so the housekeeper didn't dare to speak first after entering, and kept standing there waiting for Nangong Jingchen to speak.

"You go and have someone find out where the crown princess is now." As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper instantly felt very surprised, stood there and looked at Nangong Jingchen and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't the crown princess still sick?" Why ......"

"This prince suspects that the crown princess is not in the mansion at all." Nangong Jingchen looked at the housekeeper without thinking about it, so he said such a sentence directly.

"This ......" The housekeeper instantly felt a little confused, but he didn't continue to ask anything, so he walked out of the study directly and went to do the things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed over to him.

After the housekeeper left, the expression on Nangong Jingchen's face couldn't help but change, he didn't know what was going on with him, he couldn't help but want to care about Gu Qingshang recently, and now even when she was sick, she felt that it was fake, and she was lying to herself, the reason was because she didn't want to go to the palace with her to the banquet.

Sure enough, in the evening, the housekeeper brought Nangong Jingchen a piece of news that made him feel very helpless, that is, the crown princess was indeed pretending to be sick, and she also took this opportunity to ask Princess Yeli to play, and the two played until late when Gu Qingshang greeted her and went back.

"This woman is really pretending to be sick! You have to keep quiet about this matter, don't let anyone know, this prince should not know what to do, let the crown princess continue to pretend to be sick, this prince wants to see how long she can pretend. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." The butler had been standing there tremblingly when he finished reporting the news, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't do anything too embarrassing at the end, which couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief.

However, for the matter of the crown princess pretending to be sick, she still couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
