Chapter 40: Suspicion of each other
Xiao Yichen stared at Xue Yi who was kneeling in front of him, and couldn't figure out what she meant for a while, in the face of Xue Yi's question, Xiao Yichen asked all the questions back, Xue Yi smiled faintly, and immediately understood in her heart that although the prince had been very good to her in the past two days, there was still an invisible gap between them.
Facing Xiao Yichen's rhetorical question, Xue Yi hesitated for a moment, she decided to believe that sincerity is the golden stone, even if Xiao Yichen is a piece of stubborn ice, she will warm him up. As soon as she thought of this, Xue Yiyu's face was a little serious, and she said softly word by word: "If the prince really intends to be the prince, judging from the current situation, the best way is to respond to all changes with the same, and the prince might as well ask to be stationed in Lingbei tomorrow." ”
Xue Yi's words were true, to the point, Xiao Yichen's heart moved, he couldn't help but look at the little woman in front of him, how could she have such insight when she didn't leave the door? Or did someone leak the fact that Imperial Doctor Qin came to the palace? His father had just secretly sent a decree asking him to leave Beijing, and here Xue Yi persuaded him to invite himself to be stationed in Lingbei, was it just a coincidence or was all this secretly manipulated by Lan Guang? Xiao Yichen's mind turned sharply, but there was a surprised expression on his face: "How could the princess have such an idea?" You must know that Lingbei is a cold and miasma land, bitter cold and poor, and the people are fierce, but I am afraid that if you and I can't get to Lingbei, it will already become someone else's anvil and meat mouth! ”
Xue Yi shook her head: "Does the prince know that what you take in advance must be given first?" At this time, the situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, and although the emperor's attitude towards the crown prince is ambiguous, there is one thing that the prince should understand that the emperor will not pass on the throne to the prince. ”
Xiao Yichen stared at Xue Yi and suddenly said, "Are these all taught to you by Prime Minister Lan?" ”
Xiao Yichen said a word, Xue Yi was speechless, she was a smart and careful woman, just this sentence exposed Xiao Yichen's suspicion of Xue Yi.
Since coming to the palace, Xue Yi has endured the white eyes and humiliation of this prince, the reason why she can endure it is because she knows that there will be no hatred and love in this world for no reason, secretly she is careful everywhere, and occasionally in the seemingly unintentional but intentional small talk with Mama Gong, she has already heard that Xiao Yichen is very dissatisfied with her father Lan Guang. She also knew that her father secretly supported the four princes, but in fact, he was not really good for the four princes, but among the five princes, only the four princes seemed to be smart but were actually simple-minded and easier to master.
These things are told to her by the nurse Kou when she usually has nothing to do, thinking of the nurse, Xue Yi suddenly felt a little sad, she has not seen the nurse for more than a month, every time she asks about the palace grandmother, the palace grandmother just says that the mother is very good.
Seeing Xue Yi lowered his eyes and was silent, Xiao Yichen knew that he had said the wrong thing, after a conversation just now, he had already seen that his princess was by no means an idle woman, he had to be careful all the time, if Xue Yi really saw through his mind, I am afraid that his plan would fail. Xiao Yichen knew that Xue Yi would not say any more, so in order to appease her, he took her hand and asked her to stand up and said, "At this time, my father's energy is on the affairs of the three kings, and I am afraid that he can't take care of me." Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone first. Xiao Yichen pretended to smile mysteriously: "I promise he is the person you want to see the most!" ”
Xue Yi looked at Xiao Yichen suspiciously, who was he going to take him to see at this time? Could it be....... The Five Princes? The peach blossom eyes and snow-white teeth of the five princes flashed in Xue Yi's mind, and Xue Yi was shocked to realize that the five princes approached her heart quietly, Xue Yi's heart was pounding, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, when she first entered the palace, it was the five princes who accompanied her, and when she was in distress several times and almost died, it was the five princes who saved her.
But what does this Xiao Yichen mean? Xue Yi hung her head and followed behind the wheelchair, secretly speculating.
Xiao Yichen didn't realize it, talking and laughing with Xue Yi, like a loving couple, from time to time someone passing by, and they were stunned when they saw Xiao Yichen and Xue Yi's intimate appearance, and even forgot to pay homage.
The two walked through the verandah, passed through the two moon gates, and came to the door of a small courtyard, Xiao Yichen motioned for Xue Yi to push open the door. At this time, Xue Yi had already guessed that Xiao Yichen was definitely not taking herself to see the five princes, was she a nurse?
Xue Yi pushed the door open with both hands, Xiao Yichen's wheelchair then entered the courtyard, just entered the courtyard gate, Xiao Yichen locked the door with his backhand, and the person walked down from the wheelchair, leading Xue Yi, who was full of surprise, to the room.
Pushing open the door, Xue Yi saw at a glance that the nurse Kou Shi who was thinking about her night was lying on the wooden bed, she rushed over, holding Kou Shi's hand and her voice trembled a little: "Nurse ....... The nurse ......." Kou closed his eyes tightly, and his face turned pale. Only then did Xue Yi realize that Kou was like a living dead, and only a faint breath remained. She turned around and looked at Xiao Yichen with inquiring eyes.
Xiao Yichen pulled over a chair and sat on Xue Yi's side, looked at Kou Shi and said regretfully: "Xue Yi, I'm sorry, it's my nurse who didn't protect you, she ......." Xiao Yichen paused, as if there was something unspeakable.
Xue Yi stared intently at Xiao Yichen's eyes and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Xiao Yichen sighed softly and sighed: "Your nurse really loves you." ”
Xue Yi's eyes were filled with tears, her nurse was naturally the person who loved her the most in the world, since she could remember, the nurse accompanied her to cry and laugh with her, taught her to read and read, the female red needle, when she was afraid, it was the nurse who hugged her and gave her courage; When she was sad, it was the nurse who did everything possible to make her happy; When she missed her mother, it was the nurse who accompanied her and told her stories about her mother; .......
With tears in her eyes, Xue Yi asked, "What happened to my nurse?" ”
Xiao Yichen looked at Xue Yi: "Do you remember when you boasted of marriage and was taken captive?" ”
Xue Yi nodded, but she didn't know what her boasting about being taken captive and the nurse was unconscious.
"It's not good to blame me, you boasted of being taken captive, your nurse was angry when she learned about it, and fainted to the ground at that time, or the palace grandmother called the imperial doctor to rescue in time, she was out of danger, but unexpectedly a guard said that you were kidnapped by the four princes, your nurse heard about it, and insisted on asking the four princes to find you in the mansion, the palace grandmother naturally did not agree, and your nurse secretly went out of the palace, and she also found Xiao Yishuo." Xiao Yichen said this, his teeth clenched, and he seemed to be particularly angry. He took a breath and continued: "The fourth prince naturally didn't admit that he kidnapped you, and the two of them quarreled at the time, and later your nurse was blasted out by the fourth prince, and the person sent by the palace grandmother to find her happened to meet her at the entrance of the alley, and before the person returned to our palace, she fell unconscious, until now." ”
After listening to Xiao Yichen, Xue Yi fell into the clouds, and couldn't figure it out: "What does the prince mean is that the nurse was harmed by the four princes to be like this?" ”
Xiao Yichen shook his head: "This king is not sure if he did it, because this king also listened to Mama Gong, as for hiding this matter from you later, it was also Mama Gong who was in charge, she was frightened when she saw you boasting about your marriage, and saw that I was making things difficult for you everywhere, I was afraid that you would not be able to accept this matter, and I wanted to wait for your nurse to wake up and tell you." Who knows, she has been in a coma for more than 20 days, and has no intention of waking up, I just saw you and seem to miss your nurse, so I will tell you the truth. ”
Xiao Yichen pushed this matter cleanly, leaving Xue Yi with nothing to say. Now, she doesn't want to pursue anything more, now she only cares about whether the nurse can wake up, and why is this situation?
"Please also ask the prince to make it clear, why is my nurse unconscious for so long?"
"According to the doctor's diagnosis, it seems to have been infected with a snake venom. What kind of snake venom it is, but no one knows. ”
"There's no cure, is it?" Xue Yi's gaze at Xiao Yichen was like a pool of deep water, making people unable to see through her thoughts at this time.
Xiao Yichen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring Xue Yi to see Kou today, according to the current situation, Xue Yi didn't believe his words, I'm afraid that he would still suspect that Kou was injured by him.
Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not that there is no cure, the doctors in the palace have never given up on treating the Kou family, and recently they are developing an antidote to the poison, hoping to save your nurse's life." ”
Xue Yi nodded: "Concubine Xie Wangye, I hope that the prince can find the antidote to save my nurse as soon as possible, Xue Yi and the nurse will be grateful, and they will repay each other." ”
There was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and then the door creaked open, Gong Mama stood at the door with a food box in her hand, and saw Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen stunned for a moment, obviously, she didn't expect Xue Yi to be here, but it was only a moment, Gong Mama returned to normal, she first gave Xiao Yichen a salute, and then saw Xue Yi, and then put the food box next to Kou's pillow.
Xue Yi looked at Mama Gong in confusion and said, "Mama, what do you mean?" ”
Mama Gong opened the food box and took out a small porcelain bottle and a bowl of blue juice, and replied: "If you go back to the princess, the Kou family is unconscious, and she relies on the life-sustaining pill and huisheng soup to sustain her life." ”
Only then did Xue Yi suddenly understand why Kou was in a coma for a long time but could not die. She saw that Mama Gong skillfully lifted Kou's family, let her lean on her body, stuffed a pill into her mouth, and then picked up a bamboo tube with her left hand, put one end of the bamboo pipe into Kou's mouth, and slowly poured the blue juice into the other end where it was split.
Xue Yi personally scrubbed Kou's body, looking at the soft Kou family, Xue Yi swore in her heart that no matter what, she would save the nurse and find out the truth of the matter.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xue Yi reluctantly left the Kou clan and returned to the front yard of the palace with Xiao Yichen. As soon as the two of them sat down, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Lord Wang, a large group of people suddenly came outside the door, surrounding our palace, and the people who came kept saying that they wanted to see you, Lord Wang." ”
Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen glanced at each other, and they were both shocked. In such an eventful season, who is shouting at the gate of the palace?!
