Chapter 68: Disaster Strikes, Fly Separately
The next day, Minghui entered the study early in the morning to report: "Lord, Shangshu took the side concubine to ask to see, and now he is waiting outside the mansion." ”
"Luo Wenxi?" Only then did Mo Nanchen realize that he hadn't seen Luo Wenxi for several days.
At that time, Shangshu personally pleaded for mercy, and he allowed her to go back to the palace, since she had already returned, why did she wait outside the palace?
Minghui saw the master's doubts, and explained: "After the prince was poisoned, the side concubine Niangniang went back to her parents' house, and she has been staying at her mother's house for the past few days. ”
Mo Nanchen immediately understood, he was afraid that it would be fake to go back to his parents' house, and it was true that he wanted to find his next home in advance.
He walked out of the palace with a cold face, and at a glance he saw Shang Shu standing outside the door, and Luo Wenxi next to him with a worried face.
"Lord Wang, the concubine wants you to die!" Seeing Mo Nanchen, Luo Wenxi threw himself directly into his arms and wanted to reach out to hug his waist.
The prince is not dead, and he will not be widowed, and he can drive away An Ruqing and become a princess in the future!
Luo Wenxi's heart was very beautiful, until he was pushed away by Mo Nanchen and met his indifferent eyes, and then he woke up like a dream.
"The side concubine has been living in her mother's house for so long, and this king still thinks that you are not planning to come back, what does this mean now?" There was a little more mockery on Mo Nanchen's face.
Since she was leaving, she shouldn't come back now, she really thought that this palace was to come and leave if she wanted.
Shang Shu stood aside, extremely embarrassed, but helpless, he could only defend himself in a good voice.
"The minister is old, and he has no desire for gold and silver treasures, and only hopes that his children can be with him, because of this, so he left the little girl to live at home for a longer period of time, and asked the prince to forgive his sins."
"Lord, the concubine is also in a dilemma, if she is by her parents' side, she will not be able to serve the prince, and please forgive the concubine this time." Luo Wenxi kept nodding his head on the side.
When they said this for two months, the more cold Mo Nanchen's face became.
He is not an unreasonable person, if he simply wants to go back to visit his parents, he will never stop him, and he will send someone to bring more things back to give Zu Luo Wenxi face.
But now, it's clearly an excuse they've come up with.
"Lord Wang, Xi'er has been talking about you for the past few days, even when I go to bed at night, I shout the word Lord in my dream, I, who is a father, see it in my eyes and hurt in my heart, so I want Xi'er to come back quickly." Shang Shu said all the good things, but he never waited for Mo Nanchen's reply, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Could it be that the prince has noticed something?
"Since you're back, let's go to Qifeng Pavilion." Finally, Mo Nanchen nodded.
His feelings for Luo Wenxi have long been exhausted, and the reason why he is relieved is that he doesn't want to do things so desperately.
If she really took a break from Luo Wenxi, where could she go?
Shang Shu was overjoyed at once, said a lot of compliments, and saw his daughter enter the palace with his own eyes, so he relieved himself and rode the carriage to the court.
Mo Nanchen was also in a hurry to go to court, and he didn't have time to deal with Luo Wenxi.
"Lord Wang, you must be very careful on the road, there are still concubines waiting for you in the house." Luo Wenxi looked at his back and hurriedly shouted.
After returning to the palace, Luo Wenxi was eager to find An Ruqing to provoke, and it happened that the two of them met by chance in the garden, she couldn't bear the pride in her heart, and took the initiative to say hello: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?" ”
"Why are you back?" When An Ruqing saw her, she didn't raise her eyelids.
This kind of idiot really can't arouse his interest.
Luo Wenxi took her calm as a concession, and became more and more proud: "I'm the prince's side concubine, of course I'm coming back, is my sister afraid?" ”
Before, I thought that the prince was going to die, a dying person, of course, there was no need to rob it.
But now it's different, the prince can only be his own!
An Ruqing almost laughed out loud: "Why should I be afraid? It wasn't me who was driven back to my parents' house before. ”
"You!" Luo Wenxi was almost angry with this, his chest kept rising and falling, like a big frog.
She wanted to continue to make trouble, but An Ruqing didn't want to accompany her, so she turned around and left.
Back at Liuyue Pavilion, Xiao Ying said worriedly: "Miss, the side concubine just choked, I'm afraid that she will find a way to retaliate back, you must be very careful these days." ”
Fortunately, I noticed it in time, otherwise the young lady would have been charged with witchcraft trouble!
"Don't worry, with her tricks, it's absolutely impossible to hurt me." An Ruqing nodded, she still had this confidence.
The reason why Luo Wenxi was able to become rampant before was just because of the favor of the prince, but now, I am afraid that the dog prince is not willing to look at her at all.
Xiao Ying saw that Miss was so confident, and asked curiously: "Miss, aren't you afraid that she will go to the prince to talk nonsense?" I've heard before that the most unbearable thing for men is the coquettishness of women! ”
"If Luo Wenxi hadn't returned to her parents' house a few days ago, it would have been the case." An Ruqing stretched out her hand and touched her little brain: "Would you like a person who flies separately when a big disaster comes?" ”
Luo Wenxi is just greedy for power, which can't be said to be her fault.
But she shouldn't have run to her mother's house when the prince didn't die!
Xiao Ying then understood, and her heart became more and more happy, now the side concubine should no longer think about bullying her own young lady!
That night, Mo Nanchen did not return all night, and An Ruqing didn't take it seriously until she heard Minghui report that there was a plague outbreak in the palace.
"Plague? What's going on now? An Ruqing suddenly became serious.
The plague mentioned in ancient times is actually smallpox, which is not a serious disease in modern times, but for ancient times when medical technology was extremely underdeveloped, this is more terrible than the devil.
What's more, this is an outbreak in the palace, and the infected are all powerful people, if something happens to the emperor, won't the court be in chaos?
"The emperor went out to inspect a few days ago and escaped a catastrophe, but many people were infected in the palace, and the prince can't come back now, so he stays in the palace to deal with affairs together." Minghui integrated ants on a hot pan.
He was afraid, what if the plague infected the prince?
An Ruqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself: "Don't panic first, there are imperial doctors in the palace, maybe they will think of a way, it's useless for us to be anxious, we can only wait patiently." ”
If it really doesn't work, the plague has a tendency to spread more and more, then go into the palace to help!
After listening to An Ruqing's words, Minghui really calmed down as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and they waited for three days in a row, but Mo Nanchen never came back.
The guards sent out to inquire about the information soon returned, bringing unfortunate news: "The plague in the palace is getting worse and worse, and the prince has not been able to close his eyes for several days and nights, and he is also much haggard. ”
"How is this a good ......?"
