Chapter 591: Peace (1)
"Now is not the time...... So when is the time? Meng Xilan sighed: "The crown prince is about to ascend the throne, and the crown princess is the future queen and the future master of the harem!" ”
As she said this, she spread out her palms and lowered her eyes slightly, looking at her palms.
"Hongu has grasped too many things in his hands in his life. Hongu grabbed too much, grabbed too tightly. If now is not the time, when is the time? ”
Jiao Changqing heard the melancholy in her words, and then also said what was in his heart: "Niangniang, you should know very well that even if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he still can't stand alone in the front court and the harem. His Royal Highness needs the assistance of Niangniang, all the time, so Niangniang can't have a relaxed heart! ”
His words are to the point, and his eyes are determined.
Meng Xilan looked at him deeply: "Why are you always so outspoken? This palace knows that you are kind, but your words are contrary to your words! ”
The corners of Jiao Changqing's mouth were slightly hooked when he heard this. "Now in this palace, Weichen is the closest person to Niangniang, what others dare not say, Weichen dares to say, what others dare not do, Weichen dares to do. Wechen will stay with Niangniang until ......"
In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly paused and stopped talking.
Meng Xilan smiled faintly: "Why didn't you say it?" ”
Jiao Changqing shook his head slowly: "Weichen doesn't say it, it's better to hide some words in your heart than to say them." After saying this, ripples appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled again, and the smile was slightly bitter.
If he doesn't say it, Meng Xilan can understand.
At this point, she has abandoned too many things, and now she can even give up the emperor, maybe it won't be long before he will be given up by her......
"Don't worry, this palace can't do without you, and the same is true for the crown prince." Meng Xilan said lightly, as if relieved.
Jiao Changqing just pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this: "Weichen knows." ”
The secrets in this palace are all in his hands, and the mother can't do without him...... Unless, she finds someone more powerful than him.
Jiao Changqing is full of confidence, and now he is standing in this position, no one can match.
The news that Mama Chen was severely punished and executed by the prince spread in the palace, and there was an uproar up and down.
Zhou Yan'er was originally full of resentment towards Xie Zhenzhen in her heart, but when she heard about this, she was shocked or surprised, and she didn't care about gloating at all.
The ins and outs of the matter have long been inquired about.
Mama Chen deliberately designed Shen Dan, but was discovered by His Royal Highness, and the crown princess personally interceded, but she couldn't save her life!
When Sun Yuyun heard this, he was so frightened that he cried. She came to Zhou Yan'er with tears in her eyes, and also took Wu Huaxuan with her.
"Sister Yan'er, I'm afraid ......"
As soon as Sun Yuyun came, she spoke with red eyes, sobbing and choking, as if the dead one was her slave.
Wu Huaxuan was more steady, just sitting quietly, his eyes narrowed.
Zhou Yan'er drank tea calmly, glanced at Sun Yuyun, and reassured with patience: "It's not you who is causing trouble, what are you afraid of?" The crown princess targeted Shen Dan, it has nothing to do with us, let's just take care of ourselves. ”
Sun Yuyun snorted again: "A life is just gone......"
Wu Huaxuan answered at the right time: "I heard that Shen Dan just fell ill because of pollen allergies. His Royal Highness was so angry that he executed Mama Chen at once! ”
In fact, what she really wants to say, this Shen Dan should not be underestimated. Although she is just a slave, she is a very important person to His Highness.
Zhou Yan'er held the tea bowl in her hand and secretly exerted herself.
"The person who underestimates her is the crown princess, not me."
She always knew that there was such a person by the prince's side, a person personally arranged by the queen mother.
"Sister, because of this incident, Your Highness will not be angry anytime soon. What should we do? ”
Sun Yuyun looked anxious, wanting her to help him get an idea.
Zhou Yan'er looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said, "You ask me, then who am I going to ask?" ”
Sun Yuyun clenched the handkerchief in his hand, looked at her with a blank eye and said, "Sister, we entered the palace together, and we should have one heart......"
Zhou Yan'er glanced at her when she heard this, and then at Wu Huaxuan.
That's right, their current situation looks the same, but once the situation changes, in the future, they will compete for each other's favor, and when they are superior, can they still have such a heart?
Zhou Yan'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she said quietly: "Since His Royal Highness cares about Shen Dan so much, let's just be polite to her." There is an example of the crown princess in front of me, and I am afraid that no one will dare to touch Shen Dan's idea in the future......"
Sun Yuyun and Wu Huaxuan glanced at each other, and then said, "So, should we prepare some gifts?" ”
Zhou Yan'er smiled coldly: "Prepare yourself." Anyway, I don't have the leisure to please a palace maid. ”
Unless the crown prince gives Shen Dan an official title, she will not show anything to her.
She is a side concubine, and Shen Dan is just a palace maid, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, this is the rule.
……
After a whole day, Shen Dan had a fever, and after sleeping for so long, she finally regained some energy.
After Jiao Changqing got the prince's orders, although he didn't stay all the time, he still came over every half a day to have a look. In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want the prince to feel that he was slacking.
"The rash on Miss Shen's body will not leave a scar because there is no scratching."
Jiao Changqing looked at Shen Dan and groaned, turned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, she is estimated to wake up soon." Wechen still wants to go back to the emperor......"
Changsheng nodded when he heard this: "You go." ”
When Jiao Changqing retreated with the imperial doctors, Changsheng sat on the edge of Shen Dan's bed, watching her sweaty body like rain because of the fever, and hurriedly instructed the palace maid to wipe her body for her.
The palace maids were careful to wipe her body and change her clothes, while Changsheng stayed in the palace without shying away from it.
Suddenly, Shen Dan woke up faintly, she opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was naturally immortal.
However, her vision was blurry and she couldn't see clearly.
Changsheng lowered his eyes to look at her, stretched out his big palm, gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead, took a deep breath and said, "You finally woke up......"
Shen Dan slowly opened his eyes wide, calmed down a little, and finally saw the face that was close at hand.
The prince's eyebrows were full of worry, and his eyes were tired, and he looked at her fixedly: "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”
His tone was so gentle that Shen Dan was in a trance.
"Your Highness......"
She tried to sit up, but Changsheng reached out and held it down.
"Lie down and don't move, you're not ...... yet"
His tone was still gentle.
While speaking, the palace maids brought the decoction and were about to serve, but they saw His Royal Highness waving his hand.
"Stand down, all of you!"
He personally took the medicine bowl, and when he saw that the temperature was just right, it was the best place to eat, so he said to Shen Dan: "Get up and drink the medicine." ”
Shen Dan sat up with his arms propped up, and said with a surprised face: "The slave doesn't dare...... The slave and maid came by themselves. ”
Chang Chang stretched out his arms, hugged Shen Dan in front of him, and sent the medicine bowl to her mouth, only letting her drink the medicine and not letting her speak.
The decoction was sour and bitter, and Shen Dan frowned when he drank it.
Changsheng picked up the candied fruit in the small dish and put it in her mouth. "Eat, you won't be bitter after eating."
Shen Dan took the candied fruit in his mouth and asked uneasily: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
Changsheng didn't speak, just stroked her hair: "It's okay, I just want to be nice to you." ”
Shen Dan had been ill for two days, and his mind was slightly confused. She thought about it for a moment, and then it occurred to her that she had fallen ill after accidentally touching the pollen that day...... No, to be precise, I should have fainted.
Changsheng saw her looking at him with a puzzled face, so he said, "You don't care about anything first." When we're well-nourished, we'll talk about it. ”
Shen Dan had something to ask, but he was not in good spirits.
Changsheng looked at her softly, caressing her cheeks, the warmth of her cheeks made him feel at ease, and the slight touch of his fingertips made him linger.
The feeling of almost losing her was too much for him.
After the medicine came up, she was even more drowsy and couldn't think about anything.
By the time she figured out what had happened, it was early the next morning.
After the prince went to the early court, the little palace maids came to deliver medicine and mentioned the matter to Shen Dan.
"Mama Chen is dead?" Shen Dan was shocked on the spot, his ears were buzzing, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Don't worry, girl...... This body is just ......" They spoke respectfully, not daring to slack off in the slightest. "The slaves and maids have been with His Highness for so long, and I have never seen His Highness lose such a big temper!"
When they said this, their eyes kept looking at Shen Dan, observing the expression on her face.
However, there was no smugness on her face, but a heavy expression.
His Royal Highness actually asked for Mama Chen's life for her?!
She's the person next to the crown princess. So, what about the crown princess?
……
Since Mama Chen's accident, the crown princess has been closed all day.
She didn't go to greet the queen mother, nor did she go to see the prince, she just stayed alone.
The servants of the Internal Affairs Office came over to reply before, saying that Mama Chen's body had been sent out of the palace.
The palace maids didn't dare to go over to spread the word when they heard it, and they avoided it one after another.
On the third day when Xie Zhenzhen was bored in the room, Meng Xilan sent someone over and invited her to come to Cining Palace to talk.
Xie Zhenzhen was reluctant to go, but she didn't dare to disobey the queen's orders.
She cleaned up a little and passed, and unlike what she expected, Meng Xilan sat on the main seat, waiting for her with a smile on her face.
"Say hello to the queen mother......"
Meng Xilan didn't wait for her to salute, then stretched out her hand and said, "Look at your complexion, it looks like you're sick." How? Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Her smile was gentle, and her tone was concerned, which made Xie Zhenzhen stunned.
She thought that the queen would ask her for her guilt. Why......
"Child, come here, sit down beside the palace." Meng Xilan saw that she was stunned, so she said again: "The palace knows everything before." Alas...... Speaking of which, the prince is indeed too unkind, and he has wronged you. ”
