Chapter Eighty-Three: Copying the Book

The resentment that had been hidden in her heart for many years erupted like a torrent, out of control, and the eldest princess had no demeanor at the moment, and cried: "This palace is so good to him, but where does he put this palace?" Obviously, this palace is his wife, and she is the wife he is marrying! But has he ever had half a point in his heart? No matter how Bengong pleases him, he is indifferent and alienated from Bengong, and he only has the slut of Concubine Xian in his heart! Bengong has been married to him for so long, he hasn't even touched Bengong, but he has a child with that slut so easily, how can Bengong not hate?! ”

Lu Gu's face turned blue with fright, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense...... Now that His Royal Highness the King of Ling is in power, it is rumored in the court that the emperor may appoint him as the prince......"

"Prince?! He's also worthy of a wild seed?! The eldest princess Huo Ran stood up, her body shook slightly, and her face was a little hideous: "If it weren't for the palace to take care of him, he would have died when he was a child, and he would still be alive now?" Don't talk about it from afar, let's just talk about the incident of the former prince last time, if the palace hadn't rushed back in time after receiving the news, he would have already gone down to see his short-lived mother! Pity my stupid royal brother, who has been deceived by that slut of Concubine Xian for a lifetime! Raising children for others but not knowing it, and still making him the prince?! How can the position of the prince be child's play, and how can the royal blood be confused?! This palace will never allow that slut's son to sit on the throne of the prince! ”

Lu Gu held her steady, and when she couldn't persuade her, she could only sigh: "Yes, if it weren't for Your Highness's care, Your Royal Highness King Ling would not be alive now." You have kept a small life for His Royal Highness the King of Ling, and it is also in the hope that the master of the horse will one day change his mind and return to your side......"

The eldest princess's jade hands clenched suddenly, her nails sank into the flesh, as if she was very hairy, and gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "But this palace has been waiting for too long, and I don't want to wait any longer!" Bengong wants to think of a way to force him to show up, and then completely break off with this unsympathetic and unrighteous negative person! As for that wild seed, as long as there is a palace in one day, he should not be delusional about the position of the prince! ”

But the slave maid felt that this time when he came back to see His Royal Highness the King of Ling, he was the closest to His Royal Highness in the past, and now since His Royal Highness came back, he has not stepped into the eldest princess's mansion for half a step. And last time, His Royal Highness the former prince harmed him like that, the slave maid thought that he had no life, but he didn't want to be fooled by him, so the emperor even dispelled his doubts about him and moved his mind to become the prince. It's really unbelievable to the slaves......"

The eldest princess's mind seemed to be a little clearer, and she also fell into deep thought. Indeed, when she came back this time, she also felt that something seemed wrong with Song Yuanxi......

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Since this is the case, then he must be left behind." Think of a way to force the horse to show up, and then send Song Yuanxi down to find his short-lived mother......"

"But His Royal Highness the King of Ling is now ...... I'm afraid it's not as easy to deal with as it was when I was a child. Lu Gu said with some concern: "In the past, you used a little trick, so you let Concubine Shu make your knife, borrowed a knife to kill people, and got rid of Concubine Xian. When His Royal Highness King Ling was young, you casually mentioned it in front of the former prince, saying that His Royal Highness King Ling had hidden bad intentions for him, and he kept trying his best to bully His Royal Highness King Ling. It wasn't until later that you logically rescued His Royal Highness King Ling, and His Royal Highness King Ling has been grateful to you since then. Later, you secretly guided His Royal Highness King Rui to look for the Gu poison in the Western Regions, and His Royal Highness the King of Ling lost all his martial arts after being poisoned by the Gu poison and became a wasted person...... But he didn't want us to leave less than half a year, he actually detoxified, restored his martial arts, and passed all the way to turn evil into good fortune, overthrew the former prince, and made the emperor treat him differently. It's not easy......"

"Don't worry, everyone has a weakness, as long as his weakness is pinched in my hands, am I afraid that he will not die obediently?"

"Weakness? Are you talking about Princess Ling? ”

"Not bad." The eldest princess sneered: "This palace heard that the maidservants around her have excellent medical skills, and all the food and drink on weekdays are carefully checked before being eaten by her master. But she must not have imagined that the bird's nest that her master drank every day added a poison called Red Moon, which was colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people did not have any toxicity after eating it, once she was pregnant, it would turn into a life-urging charm, and the pain was great when the poison was issued, and then she didn't worry that the kid was not obedient, and the palace wanted him to die, how could he resist? ”

Lu Gu said: "But the slave maid heard from Wumei that she said that Princess Ling had not taken bird's nest in recent days, and it seemed that she had a poor appetite. ”

The smile on the eldest princess's face was even worse: "It's okay, she can make her win the red moon without drinking this palace." Seeing that Aunt Lu was puzzled, she said: "Red Moon is a strange poison, not only if you take it, but also if you touch it." The three books that Hongu asked her to take back and transcribe, I guess she will go through them in the next three days......"

I see, Aunt Lu finally understood.

"There are no children in this palace, and it is already very merciful to let Concubine Xian's slut's son grow up alive, how can he still let his son have a queen? Let that slut's blood pass on? The eldest princess had woken up most of her wine at this moment, squinted her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "...... The most important thing at the moment is how to force the pony to show up. ”

Lu Gu's eyes rolled and she thought about it: "Your Highness, the slave maid has a way, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

"Speak!"

"The slave maid heard that the flood in Gyeongju a few days ago drowned many people in a row. There was also a plague in the city, and hundreds of refugees died in just a few days, and the excerpts were sent to Chujing one by one. The emperor is having a headache about this matter, and he doesn't know who to send to represent the court to provide disaster relief, and the slave is thinking, if the emperor sends His Royal Highness Lingwang down...... Besides, father and son are connected, if the horse master knows, he will definitely appear! ”

When the eldest princess heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said in a stacked voice: "Okay! Good! Good! That's a great plan! Didn't the emperor's brother always worry that Song Yuanxi had no achievements in political performance, and he couldn't justifiably appoint him as the prince? Disaster relief can be regarded as a great political achievement, but unfortunately, whether he can come back alive or not depends on his creation! If the fate of that wild seed hangs by a thread, this palace doesn't believe that the pony will not appear! ”

***

Two days later, in the Lingwang Mansion, the bright moon hangs high.

The main courtyard was still brightly lit, Xia Taozhi looked haggard, her face was tired, and there was a green black under her eyes. In the past few days, she has been writing day and night, but her progress is still slow. At this moment, in the dead of night, she was obviously so sleepy that her eyes were fighting, but she still had to grit her teeth and sit at the table to fight at night.

The table was full of rice paper, and Xia Taozhi's face, hands, and sleeves were stained with ink, looking like a little flower cat.

Peony was silently grinding ink on the side, and Begonia was already dozing off on the side.

"Niangniang, it's too late, it's better to rest today first, and get up early tomorrow morning to write."

Xia Taozhi couldn't be distracted, she didn't even raise her head, and said while writing: "No, I'm writing too slowly, if I go on at this rate, I won't be able to pay the difference tomorrow." When the time comes, I don't know what other way that husband will think of to punish me......"

"But Niangniang has been too overworked recently, and the slave is afraid that Niangniang will not be able to bear it if she goes on like this......"

"It doesn't matter."

Peony hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's better to ...... Please ask Your Highness to ask the eldest princess for a favor and save the copying of the book. ”

With a "snap", Xia Taozhi put down the pen and threw the piece of paper she was writing into a ball and threw it under the table. As soon as Peony mentioned the tsundere prince, she was distracted and wrote it wrong.

"Don't mention him!" She said angrily. This dead tsundere, knowing that she was punished, has not even shown her face until now, and has ignored it, which is really hateful! What else does he say that he likes her, wants to marry her, will protect her thoroughly, and does not let her suffer the slightest grievance, all of them are lies! No wonder it is said in the book that men are big liars!

Peony didn't dare to make a sound.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the candles were about to burn out, and the people at the table finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep on the table.

"Niangniang......" Peony called tentatively and softly.

Xia Taozhi didn't react.

"Niangniang......" Peony called again, Xia Taozhi snorted softly, looking really tired.

She was overjoyed and finally fell asleep...... So he hurriedly woke up Begonia, opened the door with her and walked out. There was already a man standing there in the corner of the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and when he saw the peony come out, he knew that the person inside had fallen asleep. Peony saluted him with the sleeping begonia in a daze, turned around and retreated.

These two days, every day, whenever in the dead of night his mother really couldn't hold on to sleep, His Royal Highness would quietly come in and copy the book for the mother, but they were not allowed to tell her. Niangniang didn't know it, and blamed His Highness for ignoring her, which was really a grievance for His Highness......

Song Yuanxi gently walked into the room and hugged the person who was already sleeping at the table to the bed. Looking at the ink on her face, I couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

Little Flower Cat!

He snickered inwardly. Leaned over her forehead, the tip of her nose, both sides of her face, her chin, and finally her lips. Because he was angry in his heart, he kissed a little ruthlessly, but fortunately, someone slept to death, and he didn't notice it at all, so he asked for enough. It wasn't until both cherry lips were a little swollen that she let go.

He walked over to the table, sat down expertly, picked up his pen and began to write.

……

The first rays of the morning sun shone into the courtyard, and the candles in the room flickered and were not extinguished.

The person in the bed slept very soundly, occasionally turning over and letting out unconscious dreams. The person at the table sat up straight, engrossed in writing with a pen, and the pen walked between the dragon and the snake, flowing smoothly, and his demeanor was calm.

Some people's words are too ugly, large and small, crooked, it is really unbearable to look at directly, and it is really difficult to imitate. But fortunately, he has a lot of experience in copying books, and he can imitate people's handwriting easily, so it is not a difficult task.

As the day dawned, a thick stack of copied manuscripts had piled up beside him, and he finished writing the last one in his hand, put down his pen, stood up, and rubbed his sore wrist. He copied books all night, and he was very sleepy, but he had to go to the palace today, and he had no time to catch up on sleep. There was some grief in my heart, it was obvious that someone had done something wrong, but why was he the one who was punished in the end?
