Chapter 52: The Lively Huguo Temple (1)
It was late at dusk that she woke up, she felt that she was sweating all over, and her voice was a little hoarse, but fortunately it was Awei who was guarding outside, and she noticed the slightest movement at once, and then came in.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Chi Chi hummed, then coughed softly, "What time is it?" β
Ah Wei said, "When it was just Shenshi, I saw that His Highness was sleeping deeply, so I didn't let anyone disturb His Highness for dinner, but the food and everything had already been taken, and it was warmed inside, and if His Highness was hungry, he could eat it immediately." β
Chi Chi felt that his mind was dizzy, and then waved his hand, "Send water to me to bathe first, my whole body is wet, and it is uncomfortable and tight." β
Ah Wei immediately responded, and then asked the little palace maids to bring water in, and she also asked people to heat up the medicine, so that it would be delicious after a while.
"Your Highness is feeling better?"
After a long night's sleep, the sick person will naturally feel refreshed, but she originally had a high fever, and she is afraid that her mouth will be more dry at this time, and she will feel better after drinking half a pot of water in one breath.
Ah Wei stayed outside the screen, she always knew that she didn't like to be served by someone when she was late in the bath, so she also developed the habit of serving outside the screen.
"Your Highness, the slave has something to say back."
Lying in the hot water for a long time, she felt that the hot water wrapped her, and there were ice cubes in the room, so she didn't feel particularly hot, very comfortable, she let out a sigh of relief, "Well, you say it." β
Awei said, "How did Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess deal with Aqin's matter, the slave maid had already asked people to investigate, and said that it was - fifty boards, and they were directly killed." β
Her voice was still a little shaky as she spoke, as if she had witnessed the blood.
Chi Chi tilted his head, oh, but he felt that it was a novelty, "She has been serving Jiahe since she was a child, and she has always been the most powerful and pretending to be Jiahe, but now she just did such a small thing wrong, and she was killed directly?" β
"No one dared to intercede, just listened to the wailing sound of the wailing for a while, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess said, who dares to intercede, the same crime will be punished, even that Sister Aci, she didn't dare to say a word, just cried on the side."
Chi Chi frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
The two palace maids beside Jiahe, who grew up with her since she was a child, are closer than these sisters, not to mention that this must be the person chosen by the queen for her personally, she must be wrong, how can she be killed directly.
"Is there any news from Jiahe?"
Ah Wei hurriedly responded, "Your Highness is smart, there is indeed one more thing to go back to Your Highness, and that is about Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess." Ah Wei sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then spoke, "It is said that now all the people who originally served Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess have fallen out of favor, and the Fourth Princess only asks one eunuch to serve her in and out, and the eunuch is quite popular with the Fourth Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess who coaxes her listens to her everything." This time, he directly killed Ah Qin, and it may not be without the credit of the eunuch. β
A eunuch can actually enter the princess's inner chamber to serve, and he still has the princess's heart?
What kind of big joke is this?
If you let the queen know about it, can you still get it? I'm afraid that the eunuch is going to be skinned by the queen's mother.
"Have you found out who that eunuch is?"
Ah Wei was a little embarrassed, "The slave is useless, I only heard that the eunuch's surname is Zheng, and I don't know anything about it." β
I knew it was a little embarrassing for her to know it for a long time, after all, the situation between the two of them is like this now, and it seems that it is not so easy to really want to investigate a certain person in detail, not to mention that this is still a eunuch, as long as it is a eunuch, it will inevitably be linked to Dongchang.
Dongchang's wordsββ
Chi Chi suddenly remembered a person, so the next time I saw him, maybe I could ask him, maybe he would know.
She lowered her eyes, and analyzed again, this eunuch is by Jiahe's side, no matter what kind of person he is, he can coax Jiahe to kill Aqin, it can be seen that he is a great character, killing Aqin, I am afraid that Jiahe will not be a little good, if Aqin is really the queen's person, then I am afraid that the mother and daughter will lose their hearts, which is really a great good thing for Chi Chi.
In this case, this eunuch will be useful even for Chi Chi.
"Don't worry about that eunuch, just let people watch carefully." She felt that the water was already a little cold, so she stood up inside, then wrapped herself in a bathrobe and began to wipe herself, and put on her own underwear and walked out of it.
At this time, the little palace maids had already prepared the fasting meal and stood outside to wait.
Ah Wei went out by herself to bring in the food and set it up for Chi Chi, and when she saw that Chi Chi began to eat, she began to go back to another thing, "There is also the Beiyin Prince's side, after returning from His Highness in the afternoon, I rested, saying that it was very hard to travel and travel, so I rested first." β
The chopsticks paused, "Didn't you go to let people meet Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess?" β
Ah Wei frowned, "The slave maid really doesn't know what Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess thinks, the slave maid heard that the reason why she killed Na Aqin was because she made a lot of trouble in our yard and disturbed the Prince of Beiyin, so Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess felt that she had lost her share, so she killed her." But when he beat people in the afternoon, the crying sound was really clearly heard by the entire Huguo Temple, and didn't this disturb the prince of Beiyin even more? β
Chi Chi turned his head to look at her, "You mean, when she killed Ah Qin with a cane, she didn't let people stop her mouth?" β
This is the usual method used by the masters, when they feel that they are too noisy when they beat people, they will block their mouths and make a stop.
Awei nodded heavily, "That's it, it's not blocked." So the prince of Beiyin may have heard it clearly, since this is the case, how could he take the initiative to meet him? I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess is still angry, how can it be good if she touches the moldy head? β
Chi couldn't help but laugh, "This father-in-law surnamed Zheng is really interesting." β
Ah Wei didn't understand, and looked at him suspiciously, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" The slave didn't quite understand. β
Chi Chi shook his head, then lowered his head and went down to continue eating, he helped Jiahe dispose of Ah Qin, saying that Ah Qin was rude in front of the prince, I am afraid that it will affect Jiahe, but he did not remind Jiahe to deal with Ah Qin quietly, otherwise it will be easier to make the prince bored.
After all, no man would really like such a brutal woman.
Even if you're a princess.
After drinking the medicine for a long time and going to bed to rest again, she felt a little sleepy in her consciousness, and then let Awei out, planning to lean on the side of the bed and read a book.
But not long after nightfall, the entire Huguo Temple was quiet, and at this time, the window moved.
Before she fell asleep, she frowned and straightened up, "Who is it?" β
The movement of the window stopped, and then after a long while, it seemed that someone knocked on the window gently, and a person suddenly appeared in her mind, she put on her robe in surprise, and then got off the bed, "Stall?" β
With a creak, the window opened, and then a person quickly climbed in from the other side of the window, with a brisk figure, and if you didn't look closely, it would be easy to make people think that it was just a hallucination of themselves.
Sure enough, it was Cao Tingyu.
It has been many days since he was injured and left last time, and this goodbye feels like a world away.
Cao Tingyue looked at Chi Chi who was standing beside the bed wrapped in a robe, her face was pale, her hair was spread down like black ink, and the whole person looked thin and helpless, which was particularly pitiful.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again, but just saluted respectfully, "Greetings to Your Highness." β
He stood still for a long time and didn't move, "It's so late at night, how can the stall head come?" β
In fact, Cao Tingyue has already been promoted, and he is now the godson of the governor of Dongchang, how can he just be in a position at the head of a stall. Ji Jia has long been in charge, and he has been promoted several levels in a row and has gone to the position of the head of the class.
But there is no need to talk about this matter, and there is no need for her to know.
Cao Tingyue's heart is a little confused now, and he asked this for a long time, he has always been able to speak well, but he doesn't know how to speak at this time.
Could it be that he knew that she was very sick, and he couldn't rest assured, so he went to Huguo Temple overnight to see her?
Looking at her face now, it does seem that it is not very good.
In my heart, I couldn't help but blame the abbot for entrusting a person to him, but he took care of people like this.
But this can't be said to Chi Chi, his current identity is like this, in addition to being abrupt, it is nothing more than a presumptuous.
He pursed his lips and lowered his head, "The servant has come to thank His Highness for saving his life." β
He quickly found an excuse, "I said goodbye in a hurry last time, and after returning to the palace, I was entangled in chores, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to thank His Highness, but I just couldn't find the right time." β
He quickly looked up at Chi Chi, and when he saw her ignorant look, he let go of a little uneasiness in his heart, "Late at night, I wonder if Your Highness forgives your sins." β
Chi Chi smiled, "It's not in the way, I haven't slept yet." β
She asked Cao Tingyue to sit down, "Since the stall is here, why don't you taste my tea here." The tea on the mountain is always too bitter, I am always unaccustomed to drinking it, and now it is all tea brought out from the palace. β
She pursed her lips and smiled, "It may not be as good as the tea that the stall tastes on weekdays, but it is so late at night, and the stall head is leaking up the mountain at night, and it is good to drink a cup of hot to relieve fatigue." β
Cao Tingyue's heart rippled one after another.
He knew very well in his heart that when he saw that she was indeed fine, he should have turned around decisively and left, but he couldn't move.
His feet were like being nailed to the ground, and he wanted to move, but he couldn't.
