Chapter 373: Treacherous in the Palace
Hua Manxi was surprised, and stepped into it in three steps and two steps. To be honest, this girl is smart and lovely, and she has a good temperament, so she unconsciously cares a little about people. Later, I heard from Xu Jinfei that Shu Qingluo's father also had a little old relationship with King Zhao, so he remained silent and paid a little attention. Now that the weather is very refreshing, she herself is also a person who knows pain and heat, how can she be bedridden?
Four little palace maids were waiting inside, one was busy cleaning up the chores in the house, one seemed to have just brought the soup, and the other two were guarding, ready for the master's orders. A huge bed, the gauze tent hangs down, and it looks extraordinarily petite, and a thin shadow is wrapped in the bed full of ayaluo. She took a closer look, Shu Qingluo's little face was pale, but there was a heavy flush on her cheeks, and she opened her eyes slightly after listening to the movement at this moment.
When she saw Hua Manxi, she was obviously taken aback, and then smiled and said, "Hua ...... Sister Hua, have you come to see me? The child's voice was soft and thin, just such a sentence, it was already a little difficult, Hua Manxi trembled in her heart, quickly held her outstretched hand, patted it slightly, pinched it and stuffed it back into the quilt, and patted it through the thick mattress, before softly said: "I only came back a few days ago, and I came to see you, how did you have such a serious illness, what can the doctor say?" ”
The last sentence is to ask the maid. The palace maids lowered their heads, not daring to answer honestly, but they were not so clear, the leader wore this apricot red shirt, and said boldly: "Back to the words of the princess, the little county lord went to the palace of the noble a few days ago, came back late, blew the cold wind, the imperial doctor came to see it, said that it was just evil qi into the body, and it hit the heart, not to mention the body and bones of the little county lord, even if it was not very healthy, this fell down, and after eating the decoction for these days, it was still sad." It is said that it can only be recuperated, and there is no other good way. ”
Hua Manxi thought about it, saying that he was going to the palace of the nobles, but he refused to point it out, could it be the emperor? She had a thought in her heart, feeling a little bad, and just about to ask again, the little county lord coughed intermittently, and said, "You guys...... Stand down. I've been very bored for a few days, but today Sister Hua came, and I felt better - I just want to talk to her. Just put the medicine bowl there, and I'm not a person who will be angry and pour medicine, all ...... Go down, go down. ”
Hua Manxi didn't know what she meant, but she also felt it, and the little county lord seemed to be deliberately trying to get away from others, so she squeezed her palm and was silent. The palace maids bowed down and retreated, but Shu Qingluo struggled a few times, as if she wanted to get up from the bed. Hua Manxi hurriedly took a soft pillow and put it behind her waist, only to help her up softly, and then to lift a strand of broken hair for others, and then said: "What's the matter, just sit and say it, can't I still hear it, you still lie down and rest, it's the most comfortable." ”
Shu Qingluo exhaled slowly, grabbed her hand tighter, and said after a long time: "No, Sister Hua, I'm a little scared, I have to say this to make me feel at ease." Hua Manxi was alarmed in his heart, and was about to think that the emperor was not as good as a real beast, and wanted to scold, but Shu Qingluo said softly: "A few days ago, I was playing with hydrangea throwing in the garden, but a white jade poodle came over and took my hydrangea. I love this hydrangea very much, and I heard that it is Sister Mingzhu's dog, and I am going to go to her palace. Although Sister Mingzhu is a little pampered, it is just a trivial matter, and it shouldn't embarrass me. ”
Speaking of this, the blood on her face seemed to be lighter, and she said slowly: "I walked into Sister Mingzhu's palace, but I found it empty. Sister Mingzhu is favored by the saint, and she can go out to play every other day, I thought she was not in the palace, so she was lonely, and I was looking around, but there was a palace maid on duty. But when I went inside, I heard her talking to another woman. Although I am young, I understand that eavesdropping on other people's conversations is very indecent. ”
When Shu Qingluo said this, she sighed and said, "It's just that I want to go, but I find that the skirt has hooked on a cluster of flowers next to me, if I take a step, I'm afraid I will make a noise." I was scared, so I didn't dare to say anything, I just squatted there, hoping that they would finish quickly, and after they were gone, I would go out quietly. But...... But the voice of another woman sounded familiar to me. I listened to it for a long time, and I felt like the princess sister of the ninth brother, but wasn't she missing? ”
Speaking of which, the flowers are fine on the river, but the heart has already changed, and the Nine Princesses, who look tricky and eccentric, disappeared without a trace after the funeral of the Nine Kings. After that, according to Hua Manxi's speculation, it seems that she sneaked into the livestock plague at that time. But later, she hurried to see Xu Jinfei, and the Ninth Princess seemed to be unable to catch up, so she didn't have time to use some means. I didn't expect her to be so bold that she actually sneaked into the palace.
She thought about the scene at that time, and felt shuddered, so she asked Shu Qingluo: "Then what about later, how did you escape?" Shu Qingluo seemed to fall into some kind of memory, spoke very softly and slowly, and said carefully: "I thought of her voice at first, but I felt a little weird, thinking that Sister Mingzhu might have an old relationship with her, and the two talked secretly, I listened secretly, it was really not a gentleman's doing." But their words, what they said upside down, what Gu, what red line, what person, I heard it confusedly, and I knew that it was not a good word. ”
Shu Qingluo shrunk herself into a ball hard, wrapped the quilt tightly, and said slowly: "I'm a little scared, my legs are numb, and I don't dare to leave." At this time, there was a peculiar wheezing sound in the palace, and I felt ...... That's a kind of ...... It was a painful sound, like being sick. I don't know what happened, but the more it happened, the more my heart beat the drum, and finally I couldn't help it, and I secretly glanced at it. I swore to myself that if I looked at it, I would run. ”
Hua Manxi frowned, and seemed to have caught something from Shu Qingluo's slower and slower and more intermittent speech. The scene at that time must have given this golden and precious little county lord who had never seen blood a great shock, so much so that now that she was staying in her bedroom, she was still trembling with fear. A teenager is just a teenager, how much can he say, it's all information. If you can't say it, why force it. She sighed in her heart, hugged the person over, hugged her in her arms and patted her back.
She was neatly dressed, her arms were warm, and she was rich in a rich fragrance, Shu Qingluo buried herself in her arms, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister Hua, you are so good." I ...... that day I, I saw a person, it seemed to be a palace maid, I couldn't see her face clearly, but her belly was bulging high, swollen and frightening, I guessed in my heart that maybe she was secretly pregnant and made Sister Mingzhu angry. But Sister Mingzhu's tone was very calm, she actually knelt down, used a pair of scissors, and ...... directly"
Shu Qingluo's mood fluctuated very much, and the scene behind it was needless to say and known, it must be a bloody scene of disemboweling and taking out the baby. The other woman, covered in a black veil, kept watching Princess Mingzhu's behavior coldly. The princess's dress was full of bloodstains, and she didn't care about it so much, so she finally wiped the child and handed it to the woman's hand. This child is also very strange, the blood stains all over his body seem to be unclean, and his skin is also abnormal blue and purple, and he didn't cry after taking it out, only a pair of black eyes, like an old ghost.
The woman didn't care, she touched his face carefully with Kodan's hand, and then smiled lowly, and said very softly: "This Gu boy is done, and the rest is up to me." I promised the princess that I would never break my word. Princess Mingzhu rubbed the blood in her palm, and it felt very viscous, as if no matter how she washed it or rubbed it, she couldn't get it clean, and her heart was numb, but in the end she said toughly: "Okay, this is a deal, Cui'er is my favorite palace maid." After you finish your business, you have to help me get Shen Shao. ”
The woman nodded very naturally, poked the child's little tender face and played, and said leisurely: "That's natural, what a Gu boy can do, you can't think of it, what's the problem with a mere man?" ”
Hearing this, Shu Qingluo was already frightened at that time, and what was even more terrifying was that she felt that the clods under her feet were turning up, as if there were countless insects about to drill up and crawl towards the female corpse in the middle that had been cut off from life. It was also thanks to Shu Qingluo's mental toughness, she recalled a few masters in the library pavilion, gritted her teeth fiercely, did not dare to make a sound, and finally moved to a small road, only then did she let go of her courage and ran all the way away.
After coming back, she couldn't afford to be sick, or lay on the bed for a few days in anxiety, seeing that no one seemed to come to ask, and no one found out, she casually made up a lie, saying that on the way to the palace of Princess Mingzhu, she fell a lot, and she didn't realize it at the time, and then she was very uncomfortable, so she fooled the past. Now that Hua Manxi is here, she dares to say a thing or two. She knew in her heart that in the library pavilion, her 'masters' were not from the royal family, and she was afraid that they would be embarrassed if they talked too much.
But Hua Manxi's status is noble, and he is idle on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if he talks about it. When Shu Qingluo thought of this, she finally spit out a mouthful of horror in her chest, and the whole person became a little relaxed. Hua Manxi stroked her back and whispered comfort, but her wonderful eyes became deeper and deeper. This matter is naturally not simple, if Princess Mingzhu has already hooked up with the nine princesses, and is plotting to take Shen Shao, she will not give up, maybe she has already made a move.
Wang Shishi has been on her side for the past few days, and she hasn't seen Shen Shao much, so she doesn't know ...... Hua Manxi was preoccupied, and comforted Shu Qingluo with two more words, and made a strong guarantee to her. As long as she is afraid, she can come to Huamanxi at any time. If you really don't want to contact Princess Mingzhu, even if you come to live in the Zhenguo Mansion, she is welcome.
