Chapter 004: Conditions
The imperial doctor replied: "The princess is indeed poisoned, and the lower officials have already detoxified the princess, and it will be fine if she recuperates for a few days." ”
The officials were in an uproar, "The eldest princess came to the Hou Mansion to worship and was poisoned, who is so bold, and who is behind this, it must be strictly investigated." ”
"That's right, I also asked the imperial doctor to check the incense and other things in front of the coffin, and find out why the princess was poisoned?"
Someone led the Imperial Physician away.
Ling Xin listened indifferently to the discussions of the officials, and pushed the door into the house.
On the carved bed, Han Rui's face was like gold paper, her slender willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her rouge stood on the side.
"Such a small skill of carving insects, and dare to get an axe in front of me. ”
He looked meaningfully at the unconscious man and turned his gaze to Rouge.
Facing his murderous gaze, Rouge felt that his legs were going to disobey him.
"Is Master Hou suspicious of the princess?"
In desperation, she simply asked.
Ling Xin turned around and was serious: "This is what you said, but I haven't said it." ”
Rouge was so angry that she almost bit off her tongue.
In the main hall of the front yard, Ling Xin listened to the imperial doctor's reply with a calm face.
"Master Hou, Xia Guan found incense soaked in the incense burner by the golden branches, the toxicity of the golden branches is very strong, and the smell of the incense after soaking is even more toxic, the eldest princess is close, and her body is not good, so she is poisoned. ”
"Please also ask Master Hou to investigate thoroughly, the eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she be hurt by someone at will. ”
"Please Hou Ye to investigate thoroughly. ”
Ling Xin's eyelids jumped slightly, his gaze looked in the direction of the mourning hall over everyone, and he sighed imperceptibly.
"Check ......"
When Han Rui returned to the princess's mansion, it was already noon, lying in her bedroom, the familiar smell made her open her eyes, but she was so frightened that she almost screamed when she met Ling Xin's intriguing eyes.
The noble man in front of her seemed to have lost a lot, but it didn't prevent her from hating herself.
"Why is Master Hou here?"
The hand in the quilt clenched his fist without a trace.
"Surprised?"
Ling Xin lowered her head, the beautiful girl's eyes were dark and bright, and her face flashed with panic.
Panic?
Could it be that I was wrong?
The eldest princess of Chu Rui, the favorite princess of the first emperor, has never panicked.
"How come, it's just that Sister Liu is going to be funeral today?"
The beloved Bai Yueguang is going to be funeral, how can he guard himself here?
This thought was in Han Rui's heart, and he immediately circled to the nine clouds.
"Today, hundreds of officials and wives have come to worship, and it is the most suitable for the funeral tomorrow. ”
He spat out such a sentence leisurely in his two thin lips, and then turned his sharp gaze to her face again, "It's funny, isn't it?"
He turned around, shook his sleeves vigorously, and the wind he brought up came straight towards Han Rui.
"Master Hou misunderstood, I promised to kowtow to her, I'll go. ”
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and the rouge curtain just happened to see this scene, and quickly put down the tray in her hand and came forward to push her to the bed.
"Princess, the Imperial Doctor said that you have to rest for a few days. ”
Han Rui caught a glimpse of Ling Xin's inquiring look out of the corner of her eyes, and said firmly: "Give me makeup, and go to the palace to pay tribute to Mrs. Yasukuni." ”
That firm tone could not be disobeyed.
Rouge couldn't resist her, and it took her half an hour to change her clothes and makeup, and the haggard on her face was barely covered.
Ling Xin looked at her back with a smile, the green silk was like a waterfall, and he was instantly in a trance.
"I'll be waiting for you in the Hou Mansion. He shook his sleeves and left, the door clanging, as if to vent his displeasure and suspicion.
Rouge sorted Han Rui's hair and persuaded softly: "Princess, why bother, the imperial doctor has said that you want to cultivate for a few days, why do you have to go, how can she let the princess kneel, you have only knelt in the first emperor and the queen mother, what is her Liu Rumei?"
"Rouge, this palace has its own deep meaning in doing this, if you have such an attitude, stay in the mansion. ”
Rouge immediately changed his face, "The slave and maid are guilty of a capital crime, and please ask the princess to allow the slave and maid to follow, otherwise the slave and maid will not be able to let go of their hearts." ”
Through the horror on her face, Han Rui saw her loyalty, die-hard loyalty.
"Pay attention to your words, you serve the palace closely, you should know to be cautious in your words and deeds, if you don't say it like this, I'm afraid this princess's mansion won't be able to tolerate you. ”
"Yes. ”
When I came to this Yasukuni Houfu again, the white flags in the mansion were fluttering, and the lonely back of the noble man was like a knife, piercing the tip of his heart.
Han Rui walked over with her skirt, took the incense handed over by the maidservant, and then knelt on the bluestone brick floor and kowtowed sincerely.
Rouge gritted his teeth in anger, but he remembered his master's words and didn't dare to say anything.
Han Rui got up, and she quickly rushed over and scooped her up.
"Princess, you are still weak, go back to the house and rest. ”
Han Rui stood still, she turned her head slightly to meet the man's indifferent gaze, her eyes seemed to ask.
"Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, do you think that you can write off the incense on your head by kowtowing to Rumei?"
The rouge was angry, and he almost grabbed the words again, but fortunately, he swallowed the words back at the critical moment.
Han Rui smiled bitterly, and a little flush finally appeared on her pale face, "When the Japanese Palace was confused for a while, he made a big mistake, and now he has kowtowed and admitted his mistake, I don't know how the Hou Ye still wants the palace to atone for his sins?"
Because of her unsteady breath, her words were weak.
"It depends on the princess's sincerity. ”
Ling Xin turned away from looking at her again.
"Master Hou might as well say it clearly. ”
Han Rui felt that everything in front of her was spinning, she was dizzy, but she had to work hard to support it, obviously she didn't do it herself, why did she have to kowtow by herself, the moment she knelt down on the bluestone brick just now, her knees still hurt, I am afraid that her white knees are already bruised.
"It's better for the princess to ask for peace and leave, and when the civil strife is cleared, the queen mother will give me the land of Bashu. ”
"The stakes are high, and this palace needs to think about it. ”
The original owner killed the white moonlight in his heart, it is meaningless for this husband and wife to continue to do it, and the matter is small, but the land of Bashu borders southern Xinjiang, if he has two hearts, how can he not give up the country to others.
Her mind raced.
"The eldest princess has to think about it carefully, I was waiting to get the news that the waste prince has arrived in Xuancheng with soldiers and horses. ”
It was obviously a fluttering word, but it was extremely cold, which made Han Rui shiver, and she didn't dare to delay any longer.
"Hou Ye is waiting for the news. ”
The gorgeous carriage went straight to the palace, and Han Rui sat on the carriage with a blue face.
Rouge handed her the prepared ginseng tea.
"Princess, close your eyes and recuperate, your body is too weak to withstand such hard work. ”
"Okay, Hongu squinted for a while. ”
She was not reckless, and obediently leaned on the soft pillow, closing her eyes and taking a nap.
The carriage entered the palace, until the harem changed to a soft sedan chair and went straight to the Queen Mother's Zhaoyang Palace.
The Queen Mother is arranging flowers, and in the long-necked white porcelain vase are two or three delicate peonies.
She stepped forward and saluted slightly: "Erchen has seen the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes sank, and with the strength of her hands, the best blooming one fell from the branch to the table.
The room was surprisingly quiet, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting tried their best to control the sound of their breathing.
Han Rui, who had no reason, also became nervous.
"You really went and kowtowed to that Gao?"
