Chapter 126: Visiting the Sick
Xiao Jun is used to not having a proper shape, seeing that Xiao Xuan was anxious to ask him about Duan Shaolan's whereabouts, he was unwilling to tell Xiao Xuan so simply.
Coincidentally, the little girl behind Xiao Xuan stared at him like a hungry wolf, which made Xiao Jun feel very interesting.
"There's no rush for now." Xiao Jun waved his hand unhurriedly, pointed to Orange Cheng who was standing behind Xiao Xuan and asked. "When did this little girl behind you come to serve you, and how can I look at her?"
"Her name is Cheng Cheng, and she hasn't been serving in my palace for a long time, and the sixth brother will naturally have some eyes when he looks at her." Xiao Xuan's eyes rolled, and then explained with a smile.
"But if you follow what you said, your habit is that the people you used before are old people who have been with you for a long time." Xiao Jun has been playing with Xiao Xuan since he was a child, and he is naturally very clear and understanding of Xiao Xuan's eyebrows and lawsuits, but he doesn't directly pick it out, just wait for Xiao Xuan to tell the truth when he can't hide it. "She has only been serving in your temple for a long time, and she is too young, seeing that she is not good in her behavior and rules, how can she be mentioned by you to her approach?"
Xiao Xuan thought about it, Orange Cheng's matter was to let her continue to talk nonsense, and Xiao Jun would definitely not easily believe those words she made up temporarily.
"It's not impossible for the sixth brother to want to know the origin of Orange Cheng, but the sixth brother has to tell me Duan Shaolan's whereabouts first." Xiao Xuan said instead.
"Yo, my sister has learned to bargain with my brother." Xiao Jun spread his hands and said. "Okay, I won't tease you, Duan Shaolan went out of the imperial capital to the south of the Yangtze River because he needed to deal with official business during this time."
"Jiangnan?" Xiao Xuan was a little suspicious in his heart.
Jiangnan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains with a warm climate, far away from the emperor with strong wind and sand, cold winter and hot summer.
"Well, I just went to the Jiangnan area, and he only told me a rough idea when he left." Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Xuan's disbelieving eyes and had to explain. "Jinqiwei is directly under the jurisdiction of my father, and as a prince, I shouldn't have known this, but I asked him out for a drink just before he left, so I said it in passing."
"Oh, then when will he come back and tell Sixth Brother?" Xiao Xuan believed Xiao Jun's words.
Jiangnan was so far away from the imperial capital, and he said that if things went well, he would be able to return in about a month. But if things don't go well, it's hard to say that the days of this return will not be good. When Xiao Jun said this, he looked at Xiao Xuan's worried eyes, and hurriedly made up a few words. Settle down, I watched him look relaxed before leaving, it shouldn't be a very tricky thing. ”
"yes, I see." Xiao Xuan thought about it, and the same reason, and the heart that had just been slightly hung down was slightly lowered again. "Thank you, Sixth Brother."
"Okay, I'll tell you everything you need to know." Xiao Jun pointed at Orange Cheng and said. "Then it's your turn, it's time to tell me about the origin of this little girl, right?"
"Sixth brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you about the origin of Orange Cheng, it's that I really don't know." Xiao Xuan turned around and smiled at Orange Cheng, and pulled Orange Cheng's hand, Orange Cheng understood what she meant, and took a few steps forward. "Orange Cheng was picked up by my grandmother on her birthday, when I returned to the palace."
"What? You picked her up from outside the palace? Xiao Jun was a little surprised.
"I didn't pick it up outside the palace, it was on my way back to Yihua Palace, she didn't know where she jumped out, I saw that she was young, really embarrassed and thin, so I took her back to my palace."
"Huh?" Xiao Jun heard Xiao Xuan say this, and she was even more suspicious in her heart. "That means you just picked her up and put her in front of you, but you don't know anything about her background and origin?! Xuan'er, you're so confused, what if she has something else to hurt you? ”
Seeing Xiao Jun's reaction in front of her eyes, Xiao Xuan didn't dare to say in detail, when Orange Cheng rushed over that day, she really almost hurt her.
"Sixth brother, look at her so vividly, she is only seven or eight years old, and she is thin like this, where can she hurt me." Xiao Xuan took Xiao Jun's hand and asked him to take a good look at Orange Cheng's appearance.
Xiao Jun looked at Orange Cheng carefully, and the situation he saw was indeed the same as Xiao Xuan said.
"Then why don't you ask her, you don't know where she came from, can you not know it yourself?" But such a person who doesn't know the origin of his identity stays by Xiao Xuan's side, Xiao Jun still can't let go of his mind after all.
"She can't say anything, I asked Mrs. Liu to help me see her condition. She had some old scars, but none of them were serious. But her tongue was cut off, and Doctor Liu said that her tongue should have been cut a few years ago. She didn't have a problem with her ears though, so I knew what she said. Xiao Xuan said. That's why I thought about asking Duan Shaolan for help, which should help me find out the origin of Orange Cheng. ”
"She had her tongue cut?" No wonder he has been in for a long time, this little girl named Orange Cheng looks fierce, but she never says a word. "How could someone in the palace be so cruel to such a young child? Where did you meet her for the first time? ”
"I was a little late when I came back that day, and besides, she came out too suddenly, and I was shocked at the time, and now I remember where I was at that time." Seeing that Xiao Xuan and Xiao Jun had been talking for a long time, Orange Cheng shook Xiao Xuan's arm a little unwillingly. "Orange Cheng is good, don't make trouble, No, I'll give you some snacks, can you go and eat later?"
Cheng Cheng had been coveting the plate of dim sum on the table for a long time, and after listening to Xiao Xuan's words, he hurriedly nodded. Xiao Xuan handed her a plate of dim sum, she took it with a smile, and obediently walked to the back and happily ate dim sum.
"Sixth brother, did you see it?" Xiao Xuan pointed to Orange Cheng and said to Xiao Jun. "She's just a child. I want to investigate her origins, it's not that I'm suspicious of her, it's just that there is suddenly such a person around me, so I can't keep it from my mother. When the time comes, if the mother really smells it, I know her origin and tell the mother concubine. ”
"Okay, I see." Xiao Jun touched Xiao Xuan's head. "I really just knew that my sister actually had a bodhisattva heart."
"Sixth brother~" Xiao Xuan said angrily. "Then you promise me that you can't leak your mouth before I go to talk to my mother about Orange Cheng."
"Okay, Sixth Brother knows."
Xiao Jun just took time out of his busy time to come to Yihua Palace for such a trip, and he also had an errand to do recently that Emperor Chu had put down, and he was about to leave after sitting for a while.
"Sixth brother." Xiao Xuan got up and sent Xiao Jun to the door. "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat and rest well, don't burn your body."
"You don't need to tell me this, the sixth brother knows it." Xiao Jun smiled and said to Xiao Xuan. "You don't need to send it, it's a big day outside, you go back, it's not like I don't know the way out."
Xiao Jun said that, turned around and left. Xiao Xuan stood at the door and didn't move for a long time, the sixth brother, who has the most flying temperament and jumps out, has really changed a lot over the years.
Now the situation outside, even a girl like Xiao Xuan, who grew up in the deep palace, has heard of it. Because the six princes under his father's knee are now adults, from time to time there are people in the court who ask their father to consider the candidates for the throne in the East Palace.
Originally, the practice of the prince of Dazhao was to establish a grandson, but there was no prince under his father's knees, and now the five princes who have grown up and recognized are all concubines, and the two princes with the best stroke rating in the court are nothing more than the eldest brother and the second brother. As the eldest brother's sibling, the sixth brother naturally knows that there are some things that the two brothers should take on together.
Xiao Xuan stood in a daze for a while, and after eating the snack, he looked up but was gone, and hurriedly held the plate and found it.
She saw Xiao Xuan standing in the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to look out like Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan heard her movements, looked back and saw that she was learning from herself, and couldn't help laughing. Now that I think about it, leaving Orange Cheng, although she can't speak or serve people, but occasionally her small movements and small expressions can always make her laugh easily, so it is not in vain that she bothered to keep Orange Cheng by her side.
The days passed day by day, and Xiao Xuan just stayed in his palace every day.
However, Xiao Lu, who was locked up in Yuxiu Palace, seemed to have not moved for a long time, and after Concubine Chen got the guidance of the queen that day, she closed the door and no longer saw anyone.
It was only a few days ago that Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi entered the palace to meet her, and she came out to meet the Huizi people, after all, Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi is not an ordinary person on the side, she is not only the queen's sister-in-law, but also the future mother-in-law of her daughter Xiao Lu.
"I heard that the eldest princess had a cold some time ago, I don't know if she is better now." After Mrs. Shizi was invited, she smiled and greeted Concubine Chen, and took the initiative to care for Xiao Lu's body. "I came this time, I also prepared a few good wild ginseng, it has good efficacy, disease prevention can also nourish the body, the courtiers will give it to the eldest princess, I hope the eldest princess can take care of the jade body, and heal as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Concubine Chen immediately asked the palace maid beside her to step forward and take over the box containing wild ginseng.
By the way, about the fact that Xiao Lu has never come forward to meet people after the marriage, the same statement to the outside world is that Xiao Lu suffered from a severe wind cold due to the wind when she was in the palace, and she needs to be well born and recuperate, so she can't see people for a long time.
Others don't know the details, but Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi knew the real reason for Xiao Lu's illness early, but so what, the marriage will has come down, and it is good if there is any more chaos, the eldest princess Xiao Lu is the daughter-in-law of their Duan family.
But in order to consolidate the external impact of this matter, the princess of Zhenguo, who knew the truth early, could only go to the palace to visit the sick every now and then.
