Chapter XXVII: The Visitation

Who exactly wanted to kill her?

Even if the average person wants to, I'm afraid they can't do it.

It has to be someone who has a head, a face, and a way.

Xiao Dong first thought of the Empress Dowager Shengde-

No, no, even if the Empress Dowager Shengde is full of resentment and hates everyone in the palace, the first object of resentment should not be her. Besides, after the Empress Dowager Shengde was forced to move to the palace, she was afraid that she would not even be able to fly out of her claustrophobic place.

Then she thought of the Empress, who was perfectly capable of planning the murder. But even if the queen no longer likes her, there is no direct conflict of interest between them. Xiao Dong is not going to threaten her throne, but to threaten her son's status as the prince. Even if the queen dreams of wanting to kill, it shouldn't be her.

So who is it?

Xiao Dong really couldn't think of anyone else in the palace who would want to deal with her. She doesn't have any enemies.

The soothing soup still worked, and she fell into a deep sleep, not even dreaming.

I could vaguely feel that someone was touching her head, and her forehead was warm and slightly itchy.

Xiao Dong's eyes opened a slit and moved his mouth, and the man hurriedly made a "shhhhh

Why is Qin Lie here?

Xiao Dong held his head and sat up slowly.

I slept really soundly this night, and I slept all the way back to King An's Mansion from the palace.

"What time is it?"

"Shen Shi is just a moment past."

Okay, I slept all night and day.

Qin Lie asked in a low voice, "How do you feel about your body?" ”

Xiao Dong rubbed his eyes: "Sour." ”

"Aren't you hurt?"

"Nope." Xiao Dong lifted his sleeve up a little to show him his wrist: "It's just a little bruise." ”

At that time, it was only red, but now it is bruised, and the ointment given by the doctor is green, Xiaodong's skin is delicate, and it looks like a large piece is very considerable, but in fact, it doesn't hurt.

There were bruises on the shoulders, chest, waist, and legs, and there was a piece on the head, which was already swollen.

Qin Lie took out a small porcelain bottle: "This is our family's secret recipe when I change the dressing, and it is so good." ”

Xiao Dong took it, and the dusty vial didn't look inconspicuous at all. There was no sign on it, and I didn't even know what the name was.

"Thank you."

Qin Lie looked at her, as if he had a lot to say in his eyes, but he never said a word.

Xiao Dong had just woken up, her face was already slightly hot, and now she felt that the room seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, she asked in a low voice, "What about my father and brother?" Did you come in through the window again? ”

"Prince An is not in the mansion, the prince has just gone out, and I just took a look at the empty in. Have you slept for so long, thirsty or not? ”

Qin Lie wants to come to see her, so he can wait for her to wake up and come and see it generously.

Maybe he's also anxious, maybe he's too concerned, so he can't wait for her to wake up.

There was also a time before when Qin Lie sneaked in from the window to visit the sick.

"Shall I pour you a cup of tea?"

Xiao Dong shook his head - of course he was thirsty after sleeping for so long.

But now she has a more pressing need than drinking water.

She wanted convenience.

I thought so much.

But Qin Lie was in front of the bed, looking concerned. Xiao Dong had no doubt that even if he said that he wanted to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow now, as long as he said it, Qin Lie would think of getting it for her.

But she doesn't need to eat or drink now, she just wants the toilet!

Her expression was stunned, and she refused to say it, Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized!

Then Xiao Dong looked at Qin Lie's face and turned red. His skin was already slightly dark, and the redness of his face was not so abrupt.

Qin Lie rubbed his hands and stood up: "That...... I'll go out first, don't come back and let people bump into me. ”

His steps were fast and light, but his posture was not very good-looking, and he fled like a burning butt.

He opened the window and went out, and suddenly leaned back again, lowered his voice and instructed, "Don't forget to use the medicine." ”

Xiao Dong nodded, and he waved his hand and closed the window from the outside.

Ahhh Can't wait any longer.

Xiao Dong immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and rushed out without even having time to put on his clothes. I couldn't hold it back, and both legs trembled slightly.

Her movement was so loud that the people outside had heard it, so they pushed the door in.

Xiao Dong walked back with weak legs, and Hu Shi had already shouted: "Xiao Dong." ”

Hu Shi had already changed her name to the county lord, but now it suddenly became the old name, Xiao Dong leaned on the bedpost and turned his head to look, Hu Shi's eyes were red, standing by the door and looking at her.

"Mother Hu, pour me water to drink."

Hu Shi wiped his eyes and responded: "Eh, come." ”

Hu was probably frightened.

After drinking a glass of water, Xiaodong asked for another time.

Hu Shi never mentioned what happened last night, only asked her if she was hungry and what she wanted to eat, probably because she was afraid that she would remember what happened last night again.

Hongfu and the others also joined in, but none of them looked as good as before, and they didn't know how they spent this day and night.

Xiao Dong's tongue was bitter, and he had no appetite at all, but now he cheered up and said, "I want to eat something sweet." ”

"Ah, there are jujube porridge, yam porridge, mung bean and almond porridge, I'll bring it."

The porridge and side dishes are all steaming hot, and I don't know how long it has been preparing. Xiaodong drank a little hawthorn and red date porridge, and Hu reminded her: "There is still a decoction to drink, keep a little stomach." ”

Xiao Dong nodded in agreement and ate half a piece of crystal cake. Hongfu wanted her to eat more, so she pointed to a plate of pickled cabbage and said, "This is made by the prince himself, and the county lord will try it again." ”

"Brother tuned?"

"Yes, the prince said that this dish is refreshing, you wake up and have no taste in your mouth, and it will be fragrant to eat this. The dishes are cut by the chef and the taste of the world's son. ”

Xiao Dong really took some taste. It's salty and crispy, and a little sesame oil is put in it, which really stimulates the appetite.

"I didn't expect my brother to cook." Xiao Dong smiled and said slightly: "Whoever will be my sister-in-law in the future will be blessed." ”

Hu said: "The only person who can make the prince so considerate and caring is the county lord alone, and others don't have to think about it." ”

When the dinner table was served, Xiao Dong touched the swollen bag on his forehead: "Take a mirror and I'll take a look." ”

Hongfen picked up the mirror box, and Xiao Dong leaned forward a little and opened his hair to look. The corner of the forehead was swollen with a big bag, and the oily skin was also broken, and there was a slight amount of blood.

Belch......

The person in the mirror is unkempt, his eyes are swollen, and his head is bulging, and he looks dull, not to mention sloppy.

"Ah......" Qin Lie saw her like this just now?

Shame on the dead!

Hu Shi saw that her face was changing, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a headache?" Do you want to call the physician in? ”

"No, no, no." Xiao Dong hurriedly waved his hand.

Not for this......

cough, really, it's all Qin Lie's fault, what image does she have now! Urgency again, sloppy again...... It's all in his eyes.

Although no one mentioned last night's incident, it does not mean that it has passed.

It was early in the dark, and the lights were already in the house. Xiao Dong leaned on the big pillow and turned the book without a page.

Even if she didn't think about it, the events of last night would automatically pop up, flashing frame by frame like a slideshow.

Yesterday there was a sudden fire on that person...... It was the rabbit lamp of the seventh princess that fell on him in the chaos and entanglement at that time. Even the oil was on fire, so it burned all at once.

Speaking of which, thanks to her, if it weren't for her lamp, Xiaodong would ...... She shuddered, not wanting to think about it anymore.

She was so close to death.

Someone who wants her to die...... Although Xiao Dong didn't know who it was, but the timing of that person was just right, except for the little accident of the Seventh Princess, the others were all stuck just right, Zhao Zhi played hard, and the location was chosen viciously and accurately, and even stuck when the fireworks were started, so that even if there was any movement, others could not hear it.

The maid outside said, "The prince is here, and the prince is here." ”

Shen Jing is here too?

Xiao Dong sat up straight, and Zhao Lu had already walked in quickly, his face was red from the cold wind, and there was a chill on his body.

Zhao Lu took off the cloak and handed it to Hongfu, bent down to take a closer look at Xiao Dong's face: "What does my sister think?" ”

"I'm fine." Xiaodong said, "Have my brother and cousin had dinner?" You may be seated. ”

Year after year, it flies so fast.

I've been busy lately, and today I'm bathing my son, and I'm so tired that I'm like a dead dog
