Chapter 29: Night Market Encounter
The queen sat on the chair, crossed her fingers and held the lid of the teacup, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Concubine Chun tonight?" How can you have a good birth? Why is there no one to come to the palace for such a big thing as being pregnant with a dragon heir? ”
The palace maids and eunuchs in the store knelt in a row in front of the queen, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke. The entire Imperial Palace Ouchi knew that the Empress and the Pure Concubine were mortal enemies, and whatever they said now was wrong. If you are not careful, you will follow in Feng Jinhai's footsteps.
"Mother asks you! All dumb? Cai Weixing, the palace maid beside the queen mother, opened her eyes and shouted angrily. The kneeling palace maids and eunuchs shivered in unison.
After a long time, a eunuch who looked a little higher in rank spoke, stammering, "Go back...... Back to Niangniang's words...... Concubine Chun came to report the matter of the dragon heir to His Majesty by herself, but was stopped by Gonggong Feng. Concubine Chun knelt at the door of His Majesty's bedroom for a full afternoon, and then ...... And then there was a miscarriage. ”
The queen didn't speak, but the hand holding the teacup shook visibly, and the golden tea soup splashed on her body. Cai Wei was quick-eyed, took the teacup in the queen's hand, and said to everyone: "Okay, you guys retreat!" The concubine needs manpower there, so you all go and wait! ”
After the palace maids and eunuchs retreated, Cai Wei closed the door of the palace and said softly: "Niangniang, the matter of the pure concubine's miscarriage ......"
"Mouthy! Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence! The queen gave her a blank look, "I went to the Tai Hospital to check whether Concubine Chun had asked for a visit to Ping'an Pulse recently, and who went to see her." ”
"Yes." Cai Wei lowered her head and answered, "The maid is going now." But there is one thing that the slave does not understand. Seeing that the queen didn't stop her, Cai Wei boldly asked, "Is it really true that this baby of the pure concubine is true?" ”
The queen snorted coldly: "Eighty percent is true." That woman, for the sake of Nan Borong, what can't she do? ”
"But the slave still doesn't understand, don't they all say that the mother is more expensive than the child?" Cai Wei said, "If Concubine Chun gives birth to a prince in this child, won't her status rise?" ”
The queen squinted her eyes and slowly spoke: "It's true that a mother is a child, but it also depends on who it is." A newborn prince can compare to King Long Tangde? Only Nan Borong is her dependence, and she will not let anyone stop Nan Borong, even if this person is her own biological son. ”
Cai Wei gasped and couldn't help but take a few steps back. She really couldn't believe how hard Concubine Chun's heart could be! Even his own biological child can be killed, and he still chooses such an almost tragic way to shed the child.
This is the palace, this is the palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!
De Wang's Mansion
"Your Highness, there is news from the palace. The pure concubine had a miscarriage, was unconscious, and her life was on the verge of death. ”
The book in Nan Borong's hand moved, and after a long time, he said, "Got it, you can step down." ”
"Your Highness...... Aren't you going to check it out? The guard was stunned for a moment, and asked with more mouths.
Nan Borong suddenly put down the book in his hand and looked at him, his eyes were deep and majestic: "Who are you transferred here?" ”
"Your Highness's forgiveness! It's the subordinates who are talkative! The guard only glared at Nan Borong and his legs went limp, and he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to apologize.
At this time, the two guards who had been following Nan Borong came in when they heard the voice: "Master, what's going on!" ”
Nan Borong picked up the book again: "You Ning, Han Fei, you two drag this person out, King De's Mansion doesn't need such guards." His Majesty only issued a decree today, and the king shall not enter the palace unless he is edicted. He is going to come to let the king enter the palace to visit his mother. His heart can be punished! ”
The two looked at each other, dragged the collapsed guard and left. The rules of the Dewang Mansion are strict, and ordinary guards will leave immediately after telling them what happened. This person, there is a problem!
After a while, You Ning came back again: "Master, it's the prince's person." ”
Nan Borong snorted lightly: "You don't have to say it to know it's him." In the imperial capital, who else is so stupid, who else can there be besides him Nan Boyu? ”
"Master, what should I do?" Yu Ning hesitated, "Han Fei is still on trial." ”
Nan Borong turned a page of the book: "Don't embarrass him, give him a case of silver, and send it out." Someone will clean him up for us. Why do we need to do the wicked? ”
You Ning smiled: "Yes! Master! Or the master has a way. Let's kill it, and we don't have to fall into the sin of mistreating our subordinates. It is the same with the sum of money and letting him out. ”
Nan Borong responded: "You think well. Sometimes, it is not necessary to kill chickens. Go for it! I have something to do and need to go out. ”
You Ning nodded, didn't say much, and left directly to find Han Fei. And Nan Borong grabbed a black cloak casually and quietly walked out of King De's mansion.
He's in a bad mood right now. He could see at a glance the things of the pure concubine. For the pure concubine, his feelings are very complicated. Concubine Chun's love and attention to him suffocated him several times. That woman is a madman! can do anything, but he has to pretend to be a harmless and honest person. She's terrible!
Nan Borong walked aimlessly on the street, although it was dark, but the pedestrians on the street were still bustling. The New Year is approaching, and all kinds of gadgets on the street are also put out, Nan Borong strolls through it, looking at the scene of family reunion and happy smiles, and his heart is extremely lonely.
Suddenly, he was attracted by a frolicking sound in the distance, and saw two teenagers standing on a small toy stall laughing, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth was looking at them with a smile.
Nan Borong fixed his eyes, isn't this the girl who stood on a high place and looked at him when he returned to the city at noon? Somehow, Nan Borong suddenly wanted to say a few words to this girl. So I bought a mask at a stall next to me and put it on my face, and walked over to the girl.
Hua Ruxue couldn't stand the children's requests today, so she went out to visit the night market with Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo after finishing her work in the afternoon. The children dreamed of having a toy of their own, and Hua Ruxue decided to meet their requirements. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but the children's wishes are gone, that is, it is really gone, and there will never be it again.
"This girl ......" As soon as Nan Borong spoke, he was blocked by Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo.
Zhang Chengyong is a little older, and at the moment he is holding his chest up and looking up at Nan Borong, who is half a head taller than himself: "Who are you?" What do you want? ”
Hua Jiumo vigilantly blocked Hua Ruxue behind him: "Boss, he is not a good person at first glance!" Sneaky with a mask, don't talk nonsense with him! Let's go! ”
After that, he took Hua Ruxue's hand and walked to the side: "Sister Ruxue, let's go." ”
Hua Ruxue always felt that this masked man seemed to have seen it somewhere, so she looked at it twice. At this glance, I recognized his eyes that were different from ordinary people, deep, majestic, and with a touch of sorrow.
"Ah......" Hua Ruxue exclaimed, and she was about to kneel down to salute. Nan Borong's eyes were quick, and he helped her: "The girl doesn't have to be polite." In the next abruptness, I just felt that the girl was very familiar, so I wanted to say something to the girl. ”
Hua Ruxue looked at the eyes behind the mask in a daze, not noticing that he was still clutching his arm. On the contrary, Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo on the side couldn't stand it, and reached out to grab Nan Borong: "Eh, eh, that kid, where do you put your hand!" Don't you know if men and women give or receive kisses? ”
Nan Borong and Hua Ruxue reacted at this time, and withdrew their hands at the same time.
"Girl, Ben...... This son is abrupt. Nan Borong put his hands behind his back, and his face behind the mask was like a fire, this feeling was very strange and wonderful, "The girl should not be blamed. ”
Hua Ruxue lowered her head, and two red clouds rose on her face, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "No ...... Anyway. The little woman is rude, please ...... Please don't blame Childe. ”
The two went back and forth, and Zhang Chengyong's heart was sour, and his speech was also yin and yang: "Sister, let's go, it's too late, it's strange outside, there are all kinds of people, it's not safe!" ”
Before Hua Ruxue could speak, Nan Borong preemptively spoke: "Don't blame the girl for being bothered." See you in the future! With that, Nan Borong turned around and blended into the crowd, and disappeared after writing it down.
Zhang Chengyong took a sip behind his back: "What's it!" Molesting the big girl on the street doesn't look at who she provokes! ”
Hua Ruxue opened her mouth, but after all, she still didn't tell him what she had just discovered. What if he knows about it?
Hua Jiumo turned his head sideways, leaned over Hua Ruxue's ear and asked softly, "Sister Ruxue, is that person just now His Royal Highness King De?" ”
Hua Ruxue's eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Hua Jiumo pouted: "You don't know anyone in the imperial capital, except for a few of us, no one has seen anyone." The only thing that can make you so out of shape is His Royal Highness King De, who I saw at noon! ”
Hua Ruxue instantly looked at Hua Jiumo, this child must not be an ordinary person! He's so smart! Hua Jiumo was dismissive of this, as if he was born like this. In fact, he is also proud in his heart, but he is forced to live and hide it.
"What do you say?" Zhang Chengyong scolded and scolded for a long time, only to find that Hua Jiumo and Hua Ruxue were whispering on the side, and the sourness that had just disappeared was flooded again.
Hua Ruxue smiled, but she was still not ready to tell Zhang Chengyong about this. He is just an ordinary teenager, and His Royal Highness King De is too far away from him. Telling him doesn't necessarily mean it's good for him.
"We're talking about buying toys for our younger siblings." "I thought, why don't we go to the woods outside the city to pick up some lumps of wood when the weather is fine another day, and come back to make toys for them!" ”
Zhang Chengyong's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!" When the time comes, everyone will do it, which is much more interesting than buying it on the street! ”
