Chapter 262: Persuading the Prince
"Xi Yuan......" The thin lips slowly spit out her name, stretched out her hand and held her hand, but she didn't expect that she found the letter in her hand, so she took it out and looked at it suspiciously, and at this look, she also felt some pity for Xie Wanjun.
"It's because this king doesn't think the problem is comprehensive enough, and this friend of yours is an extremely good person." After finishing speaking, he gently placed a kiss on the forehead of the sleeping Chen Xiyuan, sat down by the window, asked his guards to give the letter to the prince, and sent his own secret guards to investigate.
After doing these things, he walked to the bed again, and fell asleep beside Chen Xiyuan.
The two slept like this all night.
Day 2
Xia Zhu pushed open the door with the medicine he had just cooked, and saw that Gong Mushen was still asleep, so he said slightly: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, it's time for my young lady to drink the medicine." ”
This is a new prescription that the imperial doctors came up with after consultation, and after she got this prescription, she immediately went down to decoction the medicine, and also tried the poison with a silver needle.
"Hmm." Gong Mushen slowly opened his eyes, there was still some tiredness in his eyes, "Give me the medicine." "He's going to drink medicine for his little woman himself.
"Yes." Xia Zhu saw that Chen Xiyuan came back alone last night, and thought that there was some conflict between her and the regent, but now that she saw that the regent was so gentle with her own young lady, she was relieved, so she handed the medicine to Gong Mu Shen and went down by herself.
He put the medicine aside and looked at Chen Xiyuan in a coma, as she got older, her face grew more and more, and her eyelashes like butterfly wings cast shadows under her eyes, and she had a different kind of beauty in her sleep.
Her eyes couldn't help but bend, and then she took the medicine next to her and drank it down, and lay it on her lips.
Chen Xiyuan's lips were very dry, but Gong Mushen didn't feel the slightest discomfort, his movements became more and more gentle, as if he was kissing a peerless treasure.
A quarter of an hour later
He left Chen Xiyuan's lips, the originally chapped lips were now red and swollen, and the top was crystal clear, he nodded with great satisfaction, so he put the medicine bowl aside.
And at this time, the guards who went to inquire came.
"Presumptuous!" He hurriedly pulled the quilt to block Chen Xiyuan's face, and looked at the guards below with a gloomy expression, "Didn't you see that she was still asleep?" ”
Hearing this, the guard raised his head and looked at it in a daze, then understood something, and hurriedly said: "When my subordinates just came in, they lowered their heads and didn't see anything, so please rest assured." ”
He said that when he came in just now, he saw the prince smiling in the spring breeze, how could it be that his face became faster than turning a book in an instant?
"Say." After hearing this, Gong Mushen's face also improved a lot.
"Yes." The guard's expression also became serious, "I have checked it at the bottom of the cliff, although there are a few sandy places below, but there are no traces of blood and heavy objects falling on it, I don't think anyone has ever appeared there, but on the other side of the cliff, all of them are hot springs, if the prince wants to find someone, I think that the person is not dead." ”
Although he is a secret guard, he has also heard other brothers talk about it these days, saying that it is the favorite person of His Royal Highness the Prince, who inadvertently fell off the cliff and died, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't believe it, so he sent a lot of people to the bottom of the cliff to investigate, and wanted to come to this time The prince sent himself, but also to see if he could find any clues? After all, the relationship between the prince and the prince has always been very good.
"If you say something like this, Xie Wanjun didn't want to die." He couldn't help muttering, and then glanced at Chen Xiyuan.
Gong Mushen took care of her in Chen Xiyuan's county lord's mansion for a few days, and after seeing that her complexion was getting better day by day, he returned to the regent's mansion.
He has accumulated a lot of military affairs these days, and it will take some time to deal with it now, but more importantly, it is more important to provoke the relationship in Puyang Haokun's mansion, after all, there are many women in his back house, and once these women make a fuss, it is not so easy to deal with the relationship, not to mention, he also has an extremely jealous quasi-princess.
"Someone." called out the secret guard who was hiding on the side, "You immediately go and stir up the relationship between Ren Yueying and Qin Changxi, you must let Ren Yueying get along with Qin Changxi everywhere." ”
These days, Qin Changxi's father has been helping Puyang Haokun, because her father has a lot of wealth in his family and is the richest man in the northwest, his support immediately made Puyang Haokun slowly change from the disadvantage at the beginning, and the two of them have been attacking him from two different aspects, making Gong Mushen a little tired to deal with.
And the prince has been in a mess these days, and he only knows how to drink and have fun every day, which makes him even more worried.
"Yes." The Dark Guard nodded, and then went down to deal with the matter.
Four Princes' Mansions
"I heard that there is a new person named Qin Changxi in the prince's mansion, who is quite favored by the prince?" Since she was taken out of the palace by Puyang Haokun a few days ago, she has been restrained by her father, and now she finally came out once, so she immediately went to the Four Princes' Mansion.
When the maid heard this, she nodded: "It's the side concubine that the prince married a few days ago, but the slave maid heard that the identity of that woman is not noble, although she is the daughter of the richest man in the northwest, she is a goddaughter." ”
Speaking of which, the maid's language also carried a bit of sarcasm. After all, women inevitably like to talk about gossip together, and when she was talking with her handkerchief a few days ago, she also heard her say that this side concubine who is now in the palace is just a show girl, and there is nothing noble.
Hearing this, Ren Yueying couldn't help but sneer, and then glanced at her maid: "It's just a goddaughter, heh, I also heard a few days ago that she used to be just an embroidery girl in the countryside, but now she just hugged a good thigh, and she still wants to seduce my prince, it's just beyond her strength." ”
Her father is a dignified general, and she can be regarded as a well-known number one person in the capital, and she has never suffered anything since she was a child, and now someone wants to rob her of a husband, which is really funny.
"Help me in, I want to see, what kind of beautiful and moon-like looks does this woman look like, so that the prince likes her so much?" After speaking, he directly stretched out his hand and motioned for the maid to support him.
On the other hand, Gong Mu Shen went directly to the palace after handling some government affairs, and the current situation does not allow the prince to be depressed, he must go to the imperial concubine and talk to the imperial concubine about how to make him regain his strength.
The Imperial Concubine's Bedroom
As soon as Gong Mu Shen walked in, he saw the imperial concubine sitting by the window with a sad face, the melancholy on his face flashed, and then he said: "The imperial concubine is worried about the prince?" ”
He heard that these days, whenever the prince asked the imperial dining room for wine, the imperial concubine sent someone to intercept him, and he must not want to let his son sink like this.
"His Royal Highness the Lord Regent has come down, please be seated." Seeing Gong Mu Shen, she straightened her expression slightly, then sat up straight, and barely pulled out a smile, "Today's makeup is haggard, but it makes the regent laugh." ”
She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled apologetically.
"The prince is depressed now, and this king is also very worried when he sees it, Niangniang is Haoyue's biological mother, and I think you care about him no less than this king does for him." Thinking about the past, how majestic the imperial concubine was, competing with the queen, every time she saw her, she was dressed decently, but now she just went to the cold palace for a while, and her mood has changed so much.
I can really only sigh that the world is impermanent.
"This palace knows that Haoyue is standing with the prince, and now that something like this has happened, it is the palace that should apologize to the prince." After speaking, he was about to stand up, but was blocked by Gong Mu Shen.
"Niangniang doesn't have to be like this, Niangniang must know about the things in the court, although Haoyue is a little merciful when he usually does things, but after all, he is the future king of a country, and he shouldn't let himself sink because of a woman."
When he said this, he immediately bent his waist and was very sincere, "There are some things that this king is not convenient to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person, but Niangniang, as his biological mother, should also mention the prince." ”
After saying that, he couldn't help but bow his head again.
The imperial concubine saw Gong Mu Shen's appearance, she was already slightly sad, everyone in the world said that the regent was ruthless and decisive, and he should be a heartless regent, but she now seems to be not.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." She no longer called the palace, and bowed to the palace Mu Shen with the support of the maid.
East Palace
"Someone, bring wine to this king!" The call of Puyang Haoyue could be heard from afar, and the imperial concubine stopped the maid who was going to bring him wine, and pushed open the palace door by herself.
The smell of wine came to her face, she had never smelled so strong wine, and she retreated again and again.
"Mother." The maid hurriedly supported the imperial concubine, took out a handkerchief from her waist and covered her nose, sure enough, she couldn't smell the wine, and the whole person was much more comfortable. They entered the inner room.
The interior is dark, and the lights flicker to give a clear view of the interior. A large number of wine cups were scattered on the ground, and she only had to look at them to know how much her son had drunk!
Boom!
There was a muffled thud from behind the pillar, followed by a painful sound. The imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward and found that Puyang Haoyue had fallen, still holding a glass of wine in her hand.
"Are you really living such a decadent life?" The imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wine cup from his hand, and scolded angrily, "Do you know that as the prince of a country, you should always think about your people and your country, but what about you? You are here to drink wine to drown your sorrows, not for your people, not for your country, but only for a dead woman, Puyang Haoyue, you are doing this to be worthy of my teaching to you? ”
"But the concubine!" He suddenly raised his head, the grief in his eyes seemed to overflow, and he whispered, "My son can't let go of ......"
