Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Seat of Disdain
The girl said, a confident smile on her face.
Xiao Shaojun looked at the girl in front of him, obviously she was just a sister who had not yet left the cabinet, but she gave him a trustworthy peace of mind.
"Oh, why did Qing say this?" Prince Xiao Shaojun was also immediately interested, so he asked directly to Mingyue Ke.
"The poison in the prince's house is a chronic poison, and this poison, as long as you are not dead, you can be saved. Mingyue Ke also said confidently, "It's just that it seems that the person who poisoned him wanted to kill the prince as soon as possible, not just this kind of poison." ”
When Mingyue Ke said this, he also looked at Xiao Shaojun, and they could see deeper things from each other's eyes.
They all tacitly knew that the person who poisoned him, without thinking too much, must be the step-queen.
"Okay, you come to detoxify Lone, but don't worry, Lone will repay you, so, what do you want?" Prince Xiao Shaojun also smiled slightly after looking at Mingyue Ke, and said generously to Mingyue Ke.
However, after listening to Mingyue Ke's answer, Prince Xiao Shaojun regretted it, and his smile was also fixed on his face.
"I want His Highness to set me free. Mingyue Ke looked directly at the eyes of the crown prince Xiao Shaojun and said seriously.
Prince Xiao Shaojun really felt very hurt, I don't know how many women want to get the position of the hostess of the East Palace, but why did she still disdain it when she gave it to the woman in front of her?
"Of course, I'm not talking about now, I hope that after the matter is completed, when the crisis between the prince and I is solved, I hope that the prince can promise to let me be free. Mingyue Ke was afraid that the prince Xiao Shaojun in front of him would misunderstand, so he immediately explained.
However, after listening to Mingyue Ke's explanation, Prince Xiao Shaojun also narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that he, the future crown princess, is indeed not very different from ordinary women, and he is not yet together, he is already thinking about how to escape from him.
That doesn't seem like a good thing.
"Yes-" Mingyue Ke didn't expect that the other party would agree so happily.
But before he had time to be happy, Mingyue Ke saw the prince Xiao Shaojun in front of him raise his eyebrows, and then smiled innocently and said, "However, Lone also has conditions, I hope the two of us can get married as soon as possible, and then you can live in the East Palace." ”
After Prince Xiao Shaojun finished speaking, he saw that Mingyue Ke was looking at him with an incredible and unbelievable gaze, and he was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party, Prince Xiao Shaojun also coughed slightly, and then continued to try to explain.
"Lone is now deeply poisoned and needs your care. Prince Xiao Shaojun said, and a flush appeared on his face.
Mingyue Ke's eyes widened, this... Is this an excuse?
Mingyue Ke rolled her eyes in her heart, there are so many palace people in the East Palace, can't you still take care of the prince alone?
"I will prescribe the prescription, the prince can let his subordinates catch the medicine according to the prescription, in addition, His Royal Highness the prince needs to make a pair of golden needles, tomorrow, I will come, it will be of great use." Mingyue Ke said, also unceremoniously, and came to the prince's desk, and then spread out the rice paper and studied the ink, and began to write.
"You have also seen the situation in the Ming Mansion, and I still have a reason why I can't leave the Ming Mansion, so I won't live in the East Palace for the time being. Of course, in the second half of the sentence, Mingyue Ke didn't say it directly to the crown prince Xiao Shaojun.
Soon, Mingyue Ke had already written down all the prescriptions he needed, and even the requirements for the golden needle were also written on the paper, and he wrote three pages before stopping, and then placed them on the desk, waiting for the ink to dry automatically.
"By the way, didn't you say that you still have to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and her old man?" After writing down the prescription, Mingyue Ke also remembered that when he was in the Ming Mansion, the other party had mentioned it.
This rebirth also made Mingyueke change his heart and care more about these relatives who are really good to him, so now he also wants to see the Queen Mother.
Originally, after seeing Mingyue Ke seriously write down three pages of pen and ink, the crown prince Xiao Shaojun was also a little happy in his heart, but now, when he heard that Mingyue Ke was still thinking about something else half-heartedly when he was alone with him, he turned cold again.
At this time, it was already noon, and the crown prince Xiao Shaojun didn't even leave Mingyue Ke for lunch, so he drove her out of the East Palace.
However, this was the result of Mingyue Ke's thoughts, Ba had to be alone with this sick prince, so he left a sentence, remember to prepare things, and after coming to see you tomorrow, he went to the Queen Mother's Anning Palace without looking back.
Although the sick prince Xiao Shaojun ruthlessly drove Mingyue Ke out of the East Palace, it was also to test the other party and see the other party's reaction!
And after seeing that Mingyue Ke went directly to the Anning Palace without looking back, there is no doubt that our prince was so angry that he ptysed up blood again.
When Mingyue Ke came to Anning Palace, he happened to be in time for lunch, so he was naturally kindly entertained by the Queen Mother to stay for dinner.
And obviously, the Queen Mother also had a purpose to keep her! During the meal, she kept asking about the progress between her and the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, but they were all quietly dealt with by Mingyueke.
Quail chestnut roast, steamed rice with eight treasures of duck in Beijing sauce, egg custard with fragrant meat foam, steamed Pingjiang fish...
A table of meals, it turned out to be Mingyue Ke's love, as if the Queen Mother expected Mingyue Ke to come, presumably with her heart, thinking of this, Mingyue Ke was also touched again.
At this time, the palaces have also exploded, and all the ladies in the palace have heard that the princess designated by the queen mother has entered the palace, and in the morning, it is even more affectionate with the prince in the east palace.
Of course, this kind of rumor was deliberately released by the crown prince Xiao Shaojun.
At noon, Mingyue Ke went to the Queen Mother for dinner, which was not expected by everyone, but it could be explained clearly, after all, Mingyue Ke should be the first to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and the prince has always been sick and weak, never leaving the gate of the East Palace, and it is normal not to accompany him.
It is reasonable to ask the Queen Mother to stay for lunch by the way.
And the one who pays the most attention to these news is naturally the step-queen Jin Weiyue.
The crown prince was not born by her, and the crown princess was not chosen by her, so as the step-queen, why should she pay so much attention? The answer is only two words, that is, ambition.
This step-queen Jin Weiyue has two sons for the current Beili Emperor, one is the third prince, and the other is the ninth prince, if you don't have any idea about the crown prince, the lord of the East Palace, it is naturally false.
If nothing else, Mingyue Ke finished lunch in the Queen Mother's Anning Palace, then the first person who should come to ask for peace next is the queen here.
The other concubines are chattering and discussing, so after going to the queen's palace, which concubine's place should they go to next? After all, as the future crown princess, she must be thorough in all aspects, and she must go to each palace so as not to lose etiquette.
But when everyone was waiting for lunch, they only received one message.
That is, the Queen Mother's dictation, because the Queen Mother really likes the future Princess Mingyue Ke too much, so she left it in the Anning Palace, and those invitations in the afternoon were canceled.
After hearing this news, most of the palaces didn't make much waves, anyway, all these concubines and ladies cared about was the appearance of the future princess, and they would be able to see it sooner or later anyway, so they were not in a hurry at this time.
However, there are people who are quite dissatisfied in their hearts, and that is the queen step.
On weekdays, the Queen Mother didn't like her as a daughter-in-law, and the crown prince Xiao Shaojun was protected by the Queen Mother in the palace.
So the step-queen is very angry, but fortunately, her cousin Bai Bingzhen, but the eldest lady of the Ming Prime Minister's Mansion, the housewife, since she can't get in touch with the eldest lady of the Ming family, Mingyue Ke, then she might as well let her cousin do it for her.
Thinking like this, the step-queen directly sent her henchman palace maid out of the palace to summon Bai Bingzhen, the eldest lady of the Ming Prime Minister's Mansion, into the palace, of course, if Wei is also there tomorrow, she will be summoned into the palace together.
Let Mingyue Ke stay in the Anning Palace to accompany her, naturally it is also the intention of the Queen Mother, and Mingyue Ke naturally readily agreed, after all, compared to those concubines who are extremely difficult to deal with gossip, it is naturally the best to be able to accompany the Queen Mother who is close to her.
Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, Mingyue Ke was about to leave the palace.
And when Mama was about to leave with Mingyueke, Mingyueke also kept praying in a whisper, but don't meet that person again.
"What is Miss Ming talking about?" Mama heard Mingyue Ke's whispered voice as if talking to herself, and she also said curiously.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that I met the Eight Kings here last time, so I was a little scared, I hope this time, but don't run into it again. Mingyue Ke also smiled and replied.
Listening to Mingyue Ke's words, the grandmother also showed an understanding smile, indeed, the strange character of the eight kings, no wonder anyone wants to escape when they see it, this grandmother is on an errand in the queen mother's palace on weekdays, and she is also the most afraid of meeting the eight kings.
Maybe it's just saying anything, just when the two of them just finished the conversation, they saw two people coming over to them, who else was not the eighth king Xiao Liangjun who was the leader?
