Chapter 293: The Prince Wakes Up

"Your Highness!" That night, in the East Palace, the prince finally woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, the voice of the princess was already surprised by the couch, "Your Highness, you can wake up!" ”

Without waiting for the prince to answer, the crown princess turned her head and ordered, "Quick! Hurry up and tell the Imperial Doctor, and he will come and check the pulse of the prince as soon as possible! ”

"......" The prince opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he felt that his throat was extremely thirsty, and as soon as he made a sound, it was a hot pain - the princess hurriedly turned around and poured warm water on the table, and carefully served him to drink, and the prince coughed a few more times before he was unable to speak, "How is my father?" ”

"My father is safe." The crown princess noticed that although his tone was calm, she looked at her eyes with great disgust, and knew that it must have been his earlier move that had provoked the prince's disgust, she suppressed the grievances and fears in her heart, and said respectfully, "Please let Your Highness be relieved!" ”

"Really......?" When the prince heard this, he seemed to be relieved, but when he glanced at the crown princess, doubts surfaced in his eyes again, and he only said lightly, "What about Lonely?" When will Lone be able to serve his father? ”

The crown princess forced a smile and said, "Speaking of which, the concubine is about to ask His Highness for guilt-"

As he spoke, he knelt down on the edge of the couch, and his smile turned bleak and uneasy, "The concubine was afraid that His Royal Highness would be murdered by his mother and the imperial aunt after entering the palace, so she didn't get His Highness's permission and ...... privately Privately gave His Highness sweat medicine! Who knows......"

Her whole body trembled slightly, as if she was still afraid at this moment, "Who knows, but Han Ji took advantage of the loophole!" ”

The prince only looked at her lightly, listened silently to his recent poisoning, and said noncommittally: "What about Han Ji?" ”

Before the crown princess could answer, he had already sneered, "You must be dead without proof, right?" ”

"If Your Highness doesn't believe in concubines." When the crown princess heard this, she pursed her lips. For a moment, he smiled to himself and said calmly, "After His Highness turns the corner this time, the concubine is willing to give His Highness an explanation!" ”

After a pause, he said, "I just hope that His Royal Highness will read it for the sake of flesh and blood, and give Zhong Ling more care in the future!" ”

This is equivalent to clearly saying that he is willing to die to prove his innocence - in the end, he is married to a husband and wife, and he is the biological mother of his eldest son, and the prince is not a ruthless person, he was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said in the end: "Is my father really okay?" ”

Of course, he didn't say anything to appease, but this attitude has already been revealed.

Helplessly, he asked this question, but it was not easy to answer.

The crown princess's hand holding the edge of the couch tightened, and she was thinking about the wording quickly, but fortunately, there was a kick and tap outside, and she knocked on the door with Shiwan's urgent voice: "Niangniang, the imperial doctor is here!" ”

"Come on in!" The crown princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the imperial doctor to come in and check the pulse of the prince, confirmed that he was much better, and asked someone to bring the porridge and side dishes, sat on the edge of the couch, and was about to serve the prince in person - the prince lightly raised his hand to block the spoonful of porridge she handed over: "What happened to my father?" ”

The crown princess put the spoon back into the porridge bowl, bit her lower lip hard, and then said: "I received a message from the concubine in private before, saying that there have been sneaky people in and out of Xuanming Palace these days, but the concubine doesn't know who they are." ”

Seeing the impatience on the prince's face, she hurriedly quickened her speech, "Just now Jin Shangshu and He Shangshu came out of Xuanming Palace, saying that this morning, the queen mother suddenly summoned the courtyard, it seems that ...... It seems that my father is out of danger......"

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened a lot, and motioned for her to continue.

"However, the two Shangshu noticed that Yuanzheng's expression was different, and under questioning, Yuanzheng said-" When the crown princess said this, her expression darkened, and she whispered after a while, "Yuanzheng said that although my father has no worries about his life, for the time being, he can't wake up!" ”

"What did you say?!" The prince was so shocked that he almost overturned the small table on the couch, "Since you have no worries about your life, how can you not wake up?!" ”

The crown princess lowered her head: "The concubine doesn't dare to deceive His Highness!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Lonely to enter the palace! The crown prince gasped heavily, and after a while, he said categorically, "Since the mother concubine said that there are quite sneaky people coming and going in Xuanming Palace these days, who knows if the current situation of the father and emperor is harmful?!" The queen mother is the wife of her father, Huang Yuan, and she is assisted by the Su family of Qingzhou, and in the case of the imperial grandmother not asking, it is natural to preside over the Xuanming Palace! If the lonely prince doesn't stand up, his father ...... Is my father just going to be controlled by people all the time?! ”

He looked at the crown princess sharply, "If you interfere again......

"Don't dare to concubine!" The crown princess immediately knelt down in front of the couch and said solemnly, "The concubine stopped His Highness from going to serve his father before, and one was worried about His Highness's safety; The second thinks that the father and the emperor are all over the people and have a deep relationship with the queen mother, and they have always loved the imperial aunt of the country, so even if the queen mother and the imperial aunt have ill intentions towards His Royal Highness, it is impossible to be unfavorable to the father! Now that he knows that his father is in danger, how dare he stop His Royal Highness from fulfilling his filial piety?! ”

Seeing that the prince heard these words, his eyes eased slightly, and he took the opportunity to say, "It's just that His Royal Highness was poisoned by Han Ji and entered the palace alone, and the concubine is really not at easeβ€”please let Your Highness let the concubine go with His Highness!" ”

"Forget it!" When the prince heard this, he shook his head without thinking about it and said, "Once you come to the East Palace, you can't be left unpresiding, especially Zhongling, they are still young, how can they do without anyone to protect them?" Second, there is no certainty in this lonely trip, but as a son of man, how can he retreat? If you go with the lonely, what if you ...... But Zhong Ling, how will they deal with themselves in the future? ”

But the crown princess said calmly: "Your Highness allows the concubine to say something unlucky: it is precisely because Zhongling and they are still young that the concubine should go to Xuanming Palace with His Highness!" In this way, if you and I don't go back, there are only innocent children left in the East Palace, no matter who is the new monarch, in order to block the world's long mouths, Zhongling and them should also be properly placed, at least they will be left with a glimmer of life! And now the queen mother is sitting in Xuanming Palace, in addition to Ah Xu, a few of them are serving the sick, it is said that the warm beauty and other concubines also take turns to serve their father, His Royal Highness goes alone, in case they happen to meet, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of melon fields and plums! But the concubine is not tight when she is on the side! ”

laughed at himself again, "What's more, since the concubine married His Highness, she has never thought of secretly giving birth alone-I also begged Your Highness to read that you and I are the original couple, and grant what the concubine asks!" ”

The crown prince was silent for a moment - this moment was extremely long in the eyes of the crown princess: the crown princess really wanted to accompany the prince to Xuanming Palace, but of course the purpose would not be purely to live and die with the prince, the main thing was that the crown princess saw the corner of the truth and felt extremely frightened about what she had done before!

So at the moment, she must not let go of this opportunity to "accompany the prince to danger"!

- If she doesn't atone for her sins now, what will she do when her father-in-law closes the net afterwards?!

What's more, even if she guessed wrong, then it may not be safe to stay in the East Palace, it is better to leave a good reputation before she dies, and it will also give the king of Zhongling County the opportunity to live and preferential treatment to the greatest extent - after all, a child whose parents are dead and a child who still has his own mother in the hall are two different things.

In short, the crown princess made up her mind to achieve her goal no matter what she said!

Finally, under her anxious gaze, the prince spoke in a dumb voice: "Then let's go together!" ”

The crown princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Rao was trying her best to be self-contained, and still showed a touch of ecstasy - this look fell in the eyes of the prince, but the prince who didn't know what was going on felt a burst of guilt in his heart, and after a pause, he closed his eyes and said: "What you said is very right, we are the original husband and wife, we are the people next to us, and no one can compare!" ”

"Lonely...... I've been complaining a little since last year, no, I feel aggrieved by my father who easily let go of the Su family, as well as my mother. After all, the Su family and the queen mother have done too much before! It is only now that I know why my father allowed the acting imperial aunt to bully his mother for many years, ignoring it, but he was so loving and tolerant of his mother. ”

The prince smiled dismally and said, "Presumably, when the Shentu clan was proud, the queen mother and the Su family also accompanied their father without hesitation, right?" Of course, the mother concubine must have done this, but the lintel of the Cui family is not high, and what she and the Cui family can do for her father must not be as good as the queen mother and the Su family - he invested in papaya every year, and now he should repay him with Qiong Yao, I only think about myself, but I forget my father's mood, it is too selfish! ”

He opened his eyes and looked at the crown princess, his gaze was softer than ever, "Ah Xuan, I haven't been very good to you over the years, especially after the Cui family came, because she is both a cousin and young, I always feel that you should let her go, not only let her be disrespectful to you, but also because of her intentional or unintentional instigation, she gradually distanced herself from you." ”

"I didn't expect that she, whom I loved in every way, didn't even bother to give birth to an heir for me; I can't help you, but you are willing to accompany me to death at such a juncture! ”

He exhaled, lowered his eyelashes to hide the tide under his eyes, reached out and stroked the crown princess's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "If this pass can be passed, in the future-I dare not say that I will send all the concubines for you like Ah Xu's brother and sister Song, after all, Ah Xu's backyard was originally clean, but those people in the side hall have also followed me for all these years-there are no new people, and they will grow old with you, but they can be promised!" ”

The crown princess knelt on the couch, burst into tears, and never dared to look up at her husband - the prince only said that his wife was too excited, but he didn't know how complicated the princess's mood was at this moment!

"If I had seen the truth earlier, how good would it have been if I hadn't poisoned Han Ji's decoction?" The crown princess raised her sleeves to hide her face, as if she couldn't bear the sudden surprise, but in fact, she took the opportunity to hide the turbulent waves in her chest, "What should I do now?!" ”

If she hadn't masterminded the poisoning, what kind of joy and longing would she have now faced her husband's heartfelt repentance and promises?

But at this moment, the crown princess only felt boundless fear: her father-in-law did not hesitate to act as the supreme of the ninety-five for more than half a year, which shows how close the prince, the eldest son who was brought up by one hand, and now the prince is so easily moved by her, even if Emperor Xianjia thinks about the king of Zhongling County and wants to open up to his daughter-in-law, how can he rest assured?

After all, no matter how kind the in-laws are, they won't like to see their sons fight their daughters-in-law!

- Especially the crown princess is not from a small family, but a descendant of the Wei family of Fengzhou and Ruiyutang!

What's worse is that her mother's family was still wavering before!

Once the crown princess has ambitions, it is not impossible to collude with the former dynasty to overthrow the prince - not to mention that she is also the biological mother of the eldest son of the crown prince, and if she kills her husband to help her son ascend to the throne, she can blackmail the young lord to order the world!

If it goes on like this, it's hard to say whether the clan will be surnamed Lu in the future!

And how could Emperor Xianjia leave such a hidden danger for his son and grandson?!

Even if this hidden danger only exists in the imagination - but it is still the same sentence: in most cases, the threat is not whether there is the ambition, but whether the ability is not!

"Am I left to my fate?" The crown princess listened to the prince's gentle words and persuasion, forcibly suppressed her fierce mood, and while gently serving the prince with porridge, she secretly thought, "No-I'm not reconciled!" Not to mention that I also made a choice out of desperation at the beginning, if it was useful to poison myself, how could I attack His Highness?! Just said that His Royal Highness will look at me differently, but there is a way that people take tea and cool, if I am disposed of by my father-in-law, how can Zhong Ling's future not be affected?! I have worked hard to manage the East Palace for all these years, and I have chosen a famous teacher for Zhong Ling, will I want to give all this to others in the future?! ”

She thought about it quickly, and suddenly thought, "Mother-in-law doesn't seem to have seen that my father-in-law's so-called unconsciousness is very likely to be pretending?" ”

A vague plan floated in the crown princess's mind.
