Chapter 211: Striking the West (Part II)
In the palace of Linchuan Wang, it has gradually been covered by festive red, and it is not only more luxurious than the Xiao Mansion in Yangzhou.
The news of the marriage of the six princes has already spread in Jiankang City, and officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China will come to congratulate them, and the emperor will personally come to officiate the marriage of the six princes.
It is not difficult to imagine what an unprecedented grand scene will be in the capital when the day of marriage.
At this time, in the east wing of the mansion, a man in a crescent-colored brocade robe, his face was slightly pale, and he was sitting on a chair.
The white arm on the left side was exposed, and there was a wound a few centimeters long on it, the wound was a little deep, and several times of medicine failed to completely stop the bleeding.
The doctor on the side is cautiously applying the medicine carefully...
At this time, several figures outside the courtyard hurriedly came, and the middle-aged man led by him looked hurried and very anxious.
Xu Fu, who was trotting alongside him, seemed to be even more anxious than the middle-aged man.
Just because he didn't have time to report the news to Xiao Nanfeng, this person said that he didn't want to spread the news and went straight to the wing room here.
As we passed by the courtyard of the study, several servants were washing the blood from the ground with water, and some of the vegetation in the courtyard seemed to have been cut by something. Branches, fallen leaves scattered everywhere.
This look is obviously the traces left after the fight...
When Xiao Yan saw this, he only glanced at it in a hurry, and after coming to the outside of the room where Xiao Nanfeng was, he directly stepped forward and pushed the door open vigorously.
This movement startled the doctor who was taking the medicine, and the medicine bottle in his hand also shook, and a lot of medicine powder was spilled.
The man sitting in the chair looked unaware, as if he was very surprised by the sudden arrival of this person.
Hurriedly got up and said in his mouth, "Brother see the emperor!" At the same time, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
At this time, the person who came in hurriedly stopped him, "No need to be polite" While speaking, the person had already walked over quickly, just holding his injured arm.
The bright red wound that was exposed and stained with white powder just crashed directly into people's sight.
Xiao Yan suddenly frowned, looked at the wound that was still bubbling with blood, and blamed.
"Why did you hurt so badly!" Seeing this injury, thinking of the scene he had just seen outside the study, most of his suspicions had gone, but they were not completely dispelled.
He glanced at the old doctor in front of him and asked, "What kind of medicine is this, why can't it stop the bleeding?"
The old doctor bowed his head and replied respectfully, "This arm was stabbed by a sharp sword, and the old slave has changed the medicine for the prince several times before and after, but this wound is too deep to completely stop the bleeding."
When Xiao Yan heard this, he looked at Xiao Nanfeng, whose face and lips were a little pale, and it seemed that he had shed a lot of blood.
Immediately, he said to Sun Guihai, who was following him, "Sun Guihai, you will go back to the palace in person now and bring me a few bottles of good hemostatic medicine and gold sore medicine from there!" ”
"Yes! The slave will go back to the palace to get it," Sun Guihai got the order and quickly exited the room.
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng said loudly, "Brother Huang, the younger brother is fine, just shed some blood, and it is not in the way."
"Alas, in a few days it will be your great day, don't be careless"
Xiao Nanfeng no longer shirked, and thanked, "That brother has thanked the imperial brother first."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and asked tentatively, "How can someone stab someone who is good!" ”
Hearing this question, the man in the crescent-colored brocade robe first glanced at the doctor on the side...
The doctor immediately came to his senses, put away the medicine box, and retreated respectfully.
At this time, only Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Yan were left in the room, and it was Qin Shu, the close guard who personally protected Xiao Yan from the palace.
Xiao Nanfeng gently pulled down the sleeve on his left arm, slowly paced to Xiao Yan, and whispered back.
"The younger brother didn't dare to hide it from the imperial brother, the one who assassinated the younger brother last night was the Praetorian Guard sent by the imperial brother to protect the safety of the palace."
Xiao Yan's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically, "Where are those assassins now?" ”
"Last night, when those people saw that the assassination of their subordinates could not be successful, they ran away without any reason, and they all committed suicide."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little frightened again, the Praetorian Guards had always been only dispatched by him personally, how could they assassinate against his will?! This fact is quirky!
I can't help but ask, "Do you have a doubter, or ... Do you doubt me? ”
Xiao Nanfeng clenched his fists and said, "The younger brother has never doubted the imperial brother for a moment!" How the imperial brother has treated his subordinates for so many years, the younger brother knows very well in his heart. If the royal brother really wants to do something to his courtiers, he won't wait until now."
Hearing such an answer, Xiao Yan was very pleased. "It's good that you know, it's just that this thing happened strangely, and I will order Dali Temple to investigate this matter thoroughly when I return to the palace next time."
When Xiao Nanfeng heard that he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, he hurriedly stopped him, "Absolutely not!" ”
Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, "Why?" ”
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng moved closer to him again, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, so he lowered his voice and whispered.
"Before the lead guard assassinated last night, he said a word"
"What?"
Xiao Nanfeng paused, and the light in his eyes flashed, "That guy, ask your brother to hand over something"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's old complexion changed again, and he immediately understood in his heart, what is this so-called thing to be handed over! In addition to the secret of the Soul Restoration Pill that everyone in the world wanted, what else could make his Praetorian Guards turn against him. It seems that this assassination is fake, and it is true that you want to find the secret!
Now another seed of doubt was planted in Xiao Yan's heart, and he wondered who had already taken a step ahead of him and started to do it...
Xiao Nanfeng's move was just to confuse the public, he knew that Xiao Yan would not fully believe him, they were both monarchs and ministers, and they were also brothers, and they were also thoughtful, each with their own opinions, doubts, and guesses.
This is Royal!
But there are some things that Xiao Yan has to believe...
The sun is shining outside the house, and a conspiracy is brewing in the hearts of several people...
Some people are involved, some people stay out of the matter, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, who plays what role, and who wins and who loses in the end, it is still unknown...
Perhaps, only God knows ...
In the southwest of Jiankang City, the mansion of the Ministry of Rites is also busy with happy events in a few days, and in a wing room in the mansion, Xiao Qingyue has changed into a strange skin. Sitting on the bed to rest, this daily morning sickness made her a little physically and mentally exhausted.
When she came back from the Linchuan Palace, Xiao Nanfeng deliberately arranged for a little maid who had served her before to follow her to the mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
Marriage is imminent, but the current situation and current situation can't help but remind her of everything that happened on the day she got married and married a few years ago.
I'm afraid that this wedding day will not be as simple as imagined, and I don't know what will happen this time and what will happen.
The closer she got to the day of marriage, the more panicked Xiao Qingyue became, she knew that Xiao Nanfeng had her own plans.
But the rebellion ... She really doesn't want to see it!
At this time, in the small kitchen in the house, a little maid was pouring the boiled decoction, which was the fetal medicine boiled for Xiao Qingyue.
And that little maid was specially assigned by Xiao Nanfeng to serve Xiao Qingyue, named Begonia.
After pouring out the medicine, she wrapped the remaining residue in paper and threw it into the fire not far away.
No one in the Ministry of Rites' Mansion knew Xiao Qingyue's true identity, and Xiao Nanfeng told her that she must not let others find out that Xiao Qingyue was pregnant.
After packing everything up, nothing was left behind, and after doing all this, she picked up the medicine bowl and prepared to deliver the medicine...
Just after she left the small kitchen, a figure quickly flashed outside the kitchen, and it flashed by, so fast that people couldn't notice...
After coming to Xiao Qingyue's room, she knocked on the door and said, "Madam, the medicine is ready."
The occupants of the room heard the voice, got up from the side of the bed, and opened the locked door to let her in.
Coming to the table next to her and sitting down, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but remind, "You can't call me that here."
This is in the house of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, there are many noisy people in the house, although she has changed her appearance into the appearance of the third lady, she does not dare to go out of this house at will, she has been locked in the house for the past two days. I even endure vomiting sometimes, for fear that someone else will find something.
Begonia shrank her head and whispered back, "The slave knows"
Seeing the girl's appearance, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but think of Forsythia, and a lot of intimacy was born in her heart. Just seeing the bowl of medicine bowl that was constantly steaming, and smelling the smell, she frowned unconsciously, "Let's put it first, I'll drink it later."
This fetal pill was brought back by her from the Linchuan Palace, and the man specially asked her to match it and let her bring it back according to the amount of a few days. To this day, she still can't believe that she is carrying a child in her belly.
The begonia on the side couldn't help but follow the line of sight, staring at her belly that had not yet protruded, with some envy in her eyes, and blurted out a word.
"The master is really good to you"
Such a man not only loves one woman, but also only allows the woman he loves to have his children, which is a blessing that no number of women in the world can cultivate for several lifetimes.
Xiao Qingyue also heard the envy in this tone, and couldn't help but raise her head, just in time to bump into the envious eyes of the maid who had not yet had time to take it back.
When she first returned to Yangzhou Villa, she had always been serving this little girl. I didn't expect to come to Jiankang this time, and followed her to the mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chat with her, "Begonia, how long have you been serving in the palace?"
"It's been over a year"
More than a year ... It must have been shortly after her accident.,Right?。。。
After that, it was so fast ...
"How old are you?"
"The slave has just turned fifteen"
Fifteen... It's really a budding age, Xiao Qingyue can't help but think of what she was doing at this age, it seems to have been a long, long time ago.
sighed, "At this age, it's so good" carefree and innocent.
Hearing her say this, what Haitang thought in her heart was that no matter how old she was, she couldn't change her fate as a maid.
pouted and said, "What's the use of being good, the slave is just a maid"
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle, the tone of this speech was really similar to forsythia.
"I remember that you are from Yangzhou, are you homesick?"
Haitang shook her head and said with some sadness, "The slave is an orphan, and she has been living with her grandmother since she was a child, and since her grandmother passed away a few years ago, the slave and maid have no home."
There is no home ... These words instantly pierced Xiao Qingyue's heart, and she remembered that she had said such things before.
Inexplicably, I felt a little sorry for this little girl, and comforted, "You are still young, and when you become a relative in the future, you will have a home if you have a husband."
Speaking of her husband, Begonia's face was red with shyness...
Xiao Qingyue smiled, picked up the medicine bowl, and took a sip of the discomfort... Seeing this, the little maid in front of her hurriedly took out a paper bag from her cuff, and when she opened it, there was a small bag of sour plums inside.
Handed it to the woman who was frowning, "Eat one quickly and it won't be bitter"
Xiao Qingyue picked up the soup bowl again, drank it in one go, and then quickly took two plums and stuffed them into her mouth.
This amused the little girl... I thought it was no wonder that the sixth prince would like her, such a woman is completely different from a famous lady, neither pretentious nor has any shelf.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue didn't forget to ask in a whisper, "The remaining recipe for boiling medicine can be disposed of."
Begonia also replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Miss, I've already thrown it away, and no one will find out."
I don't know that the residue of the prescription they thought they had disposed of had now fallen into the hands of another person...
