Chapter 308: Guilt, Confession and Concealment
"Crown Princess, do you know? It was so funny how she looked at the time. ”
When Zhu Qing returned to the Xizhu Palace, it was already past night, and she told Mingzhu everything in the courtyard of Qin Jing in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she did not forget to perform with her hands and dances.
Although Mingzhu is used to Zhu Qing's sometimes out-of-this-way temperament, she still can't help laughing every time she sees her like this, and then she smiled and said, "In the past few days, I'll trouble you." ”
Qin Jing's appearance is estimated to not be able to withstand a few scares, and as long as she comes to the final blow, she will no longer worry about retaliation in the future.
Zhu Qing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and waved his hand again and again after hearing this.
"What does the crown princess say, what trouble is not troublesome, this is what I should do, not to mention that such an interesting thing has to be done by someone else, I am not happy."
Mingzhu was stunned, and was about to say something more, when the sound of the palace maids saluting and greeting came from outside, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned.
"Crown princess, I'll withdraw first," Zhuqing got up with a "Teng", and only heard a slight friction between his clothes and the air, and the person disappeared in front of him.
Mingzhu coughed lightly and tried to look natural, got up and went out from the inner room, just in time to see him come in.
"Your Highness is back," she stepped forward, feeling a chill he had brought from outside, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
I haven't seen him for a day today, and I don't need to think about it to know how busy he is.
Lang Hongli stretched out his hand and took her over, lowered his eyes and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you rested?" ”
Mingzhu's body tensed, and he quickly calmed himself and relaxed, but he still said a little unnaturally: "Your Highness didn't come back......
Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was obvious, and it was clear that he was waiting for him.
Lang Hongli was very happy when she heard this, and chuckled and sat in her arms, Mingzhu was used to being so close to him in no one's place, not to mention that she felt sorry for him now.
So even though I still feel embarrassed, I don't want to get off him like I did before.
Lang Hongli raised his eyebrows almost invisibly, leaned over and sniffed at her, and whispered after making Mingzhu blush: "Bao'er is waiting for me, huh?" ”
Knowingly asking questions is his usual trick.
Mingzhu shrunk her neck in the hope of getting a little farther away from him, so that she would not have to beat uncontrollably, but it was obviously to no avail, her waist was tightly imprisoned by his hand, and she couldn't move at all.
Mingzhu had no choice but to give up, biting her lower lip and nodding, "Hmm." ”
Whoever calls her not good at lying in front of him, as long as she lies, she is uncomfortable.
Lang Hongli only thought she was shy and embarrassed, and the corners of her mouth immediately rose when she heard her "um", and immediately took a sip on Mingzhu's face, and said with a smile: "I really look good-looking, and I know that I feel distressed as a husband." ”
Mingzhu's face was even redder by him, and he subconsciously reached out and pushed him, and inadvertently raised his eyes and crashed into those smiling beautiful eyes, and the deer in her heart collided, she was busy thinking about changing the topic, so she immediately thought of the token.
Thinking about it, Mingzhu said that he was going to get something and got off Lang Hongli's lap, walked to the inner room, took out the token and handed it to him.
"Your Highness, your token, thank you."
Well, now that she saw the token, she could think that if he found out that his token was on her at all, it would have been returned to its original owner earlier, and she wouldn't have to worry about it.
Lang Hongli looked at the token and took it from her hand, frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "What are you doing so politely?" It's like I'm an outsider, and you're not so polite to your two girls, could it be that I'm not as good as them? ”
Thank you too, it's not cute at all to say it so stiffly.
Mingzhu was slightly embarrassed, and said busily: "Where did Your Highness say, there is nothing to do." ”
Just say thank you, this is what it should be, how can she have a relationship with outsiders and not outsiders, for her, there is no closer than him.
"Yes...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pouted, holding the token in his hand and shaking it, but he didn't put it away.
Mingzhu's eyelids jumped, and she wanted to say put it away quickly, and put it away.
It's just that before she could speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at her with Sui'er, who was carrying a token, and said, "It's better to put it with you, so that it will be convenient for you to go out of the palace to do errands in the future." ”
Errand?!
Mingzhu was shocked, and the hand in the sleeve also tightened subconsciously, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was slightly stiff.
"This can't be done," she soothed herself in her heart, trying to make herself look less unnatural on her face, "Your Highness's token is a precious thing, and if I accidentally forget where to put it here, how can it be good, and besides, I don't have anything to do to leave the palace, today is just a sudden desire to go out for a walk." ”
After speaking, seeing that he still didn't react, Mingzhu said again: "Your Highness, let's put it away quickly, the hour is not early, presumably Your Highness is also tired, it is better to rest early after washing." ”
She shouldn't know, she heard Zhu Qing say that he was busy all day today, and he didn't have time to worry about her business.
But obviously, Mingzhu underestimated the degree of attention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paid to her, and for the Crown Prince, what he had to do now was not only Hao Zhenggang, but also the Anguo side, and the most important thing was that he would be taken away by that person called Yinfeng.
So in the matter of protecting Mingzhu, he also didn't tell her.
Therefore, he can be said to know her movements well, and what she is going to do when she goes out with his token today, she can know it when she walks behind him.
Therefore, now when he saw Mingzhu looking so uncomfortable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was playful, blinked his eyes and said, "But I'm not sleepy at all now, what's wrong with you, Bao'er?" I don't think your face is very good, sick? ”
Mingzhu became even more nervous when she heard this, smiled and said: "No, Your Highness is wrong, since Your Highness is not sleepy, there must be something to deal with, I won't disturb Your Highness, I'll call someone to prepare supper." ”
With that, Mingzhu turned around and was about to leave.
Lang Hongli got up and grabbed her hand quickly, tilted his head and said: "Don't prepare for supper, I'm not hungry, but you, look, the forehead is sweating and saying that you are not sick, you know that you are strong, you must have been out of the house today and suffered the wind, go to bed and lie down, I will ask the imperial doctor to come." ”
After speaking, he didn't give Mingzhu a chance to speak, and directly picked up the person by the waist and walked to the inner room.
"Your Highness, don't need it, I'm ...... I'm really not sick," Mingzhu reflexively put her arms around his neck, her heart pounding, "You let me down, I'm really fine." ”
Was she acting so unnatural? God, if you really invite the imperial doctor, you will lose face!
"I also said that I was not sick," Lang Hongli gently put the person on the bed, raised his hand and touched her forehead, and then put his hand in front of her for her to see, "Look, all the heads are sweating, it is clear that she is sick, lie down!" ”
The corners of his lips twitched, his expression became stern, and he bent down to pull the quilt for Mingzhu.
Mingzhu hurriedly grabbed his hand, wiped it on his hand with a handkerchief, and hurriedly said, "I'm not sick, really, Your Highness." ”
Lang Hongli stopped his movements, pretended to frown in displeasure, and said, "Since you are not sick, then you can tell me why you sweat so much inexplicably, this is not yet summer, it shouldn't be so hot, right?" ”
As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head to look out the window.
Mingzhu heard him say this, and felt that his lie seemed to be able to be broken with a poke, if he didn't tell the truth, with his temperament, he would definitely let her lie on the bed, and then call someone to call for a royal doctor.
You can't call it an imperial doctor, you definitely can't call it an imperial doctor!
Thinking of this, Mingzhu was ruthless in her heart, gritted her teeth, and got up and hugged the sturdy waist of His Royal Highness the Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows, and showed a fox-like smile where Mingzhu couldn't see, but he pretended to be nervous and said, "What's wrong Bao'er, what's uncomfortable?" ”
Such a worried tone made Mingzhu's heart feel extremely guilty, where did she want to continue to hide it from him.
So after thinking about it, Mingzhu took it away guiltily, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry Your Highness, I shouldn't have lied to you, actually...... Actually, I didn't lose my token, and I didn't go out today to go shopping. ”
Forget it, if you know, you will know, it is better to say it now than if he knows about losing his temper in the future, not to mention that he is worried about her, so he shouldn't hide it from him.
Mingzhu was extremely guilty, and the prince was extremely proud, and said in his heart: Xiao'er, let you dare to hide something from me in the future, uh-huh, in the end, I don't have to tell me everything, hum......
"Didn't lose it?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince played a good show, he dug the pearl out of his arms, and frowned a pair of handsome eyebrows.
Mingzhu looked at the pair of puzzled and pure phoenix eyes, and the guilt almost overwhelmed her.
She nodded, not daring to look at his eyes, grabbed his sleeves with both hands, lowered her eyes and said, "I didn't lose it, I ...... I went out today to send Hao Mingzhen to the cemetery, and only His Highness's token can be called to protect them, so I ......"
Picking at the embroidery on his sleeve, Mingzhu looked up at him again, afraid that he would not believe it and hurriedly added: "It's true, Your Highness, I didn't mean to hide from you, you are so busy, I didn't want you to be distracted and didn't tell you, don't think about it, huh?" ”
His brain usually turns faster than others, and he can think of many things without making one thing clear, and she can't let him misunderstand.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Lang Hongli felt even more superiority in her heart, and after snorting secretly, she sat down with her mouth on the side.
"You mean, you took my token so that Zhan Xiong could help carry the coffin?"
Mingzhu nodded again and again, "Well, that's right." ”
Lang Hongli snorted angrily, looked at her sadly, and said, "You said that you didn't want me to bother because I was busy, but this is equivalent to you lying to me for the woman who is already dead, Bao'er, you are really hurtful." ”
When Mingzhu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and she didn't even think about grabbing his hand on her knees.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I shouldn't lie to you, but there is absolutely no other meaning, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhuqing."
Lang Hongli sighed with interest after hearing this, then patted Mingzhu's hand with his hand, and said: "Forget it, there is nothing to believe or not, I said, as long as you say it, I will believe it, but now there are many things, and there is no peace outside, I am worried that something will happen to you." ”
