Chapter 98: Mama Flowers
The night was thick, the moon was high, and there was a mysterious aura in the air.
Murong Ji, who has eaten, has indeed recovered.
Changing into a strong suit that was convenient for movement, Murong Ji followed Jiang Huaiyin to a mansion in the east of the city.
The owner of the courtyard did not seem surprised by the sudden movement in the courtyard.
She got up from the bed unhurriedly, dressed carefully, and opened the door with the candlestick.
The moment the door was opened, Jiang Huaiyin saw the figure that appeared in sight, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Mama Hua, long time no see."
Mama Hua rubbed her eyes, and when she saw the tall figure standing in the middle of the small courtyard, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Yes, is it His Highness the Nine? Is it really the Ninth Highness? β
As she spoke, Mama Hua staggered out of the threshold with a candlestick, and rushed to Jiang Huaiyin's side to look him up and down.
"It's Your Highness, the old slave is not dazzled, the old slave is not dreaming, it is really His Royal Highness the Nine!"
Mama Hua's voice trembled a little, and she immediately knelt down and buried her head deeply in Jiang Huaiyin.
The emotion made Murong Xi feel a little weird.
Jiang Huaiyin said: "Mama Hua is exempt from etiquette, this king is visiting Mama Hua in the name of the deceased, and there is no need to be limited to etiquette." β
Mama Hua stood up tremblingly, with tears in her old eyes, staring at Jiang Huaiyin with longing eyes.
Murong Xi stood quietly aside, looking at the interaction between Mama Hua and Jiang Huaiyin, and there was an indescribable sense of disobedience between the master and servant.
After Mama Hua was shocked, she adjusted her mood and bowed deeply to Jiang Huaiyin again.
"The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the Nine."
Jiang Huaiyin faced Mama Hua, who had raised her milk since she was a child, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
It seems that there are many things I want to say, but I can't say a word.
only said lightly: "Is Mama Hua okay?" β
"Okay, okay." Mama Hua's tears rolled in her eyes, "I didn't expect that the old slave would be able to see His Highness again in his lifetime, it was really an honor for the old slave." β
"This king came today to ask Mama Hua some old things, I wonder if Mama Hua can tell the truth?"
Mama Hua nodded without the slightest hesitation, "Please come into the house and talk about it in detail." β
Jiang Huaiyin instructed Nightblade to wait in the courtyard and motioned for Murong Xi to follow him into the house.
Sitting in the room, Murong Xi's weird feeling towards Mama Hua became stronger and stronger.
The furnishings in the room are obviously very simple, but it makes Murong Xi feel like she is on pins and needles.
Mama Hua glanced at Murong Xi, thought for a while, and said, "Who is this - the girl of the Murong family?" β
Murong Xi nodded, "Exactly." β
"When you first entered the palace, you were only six or seven years old. Now that I've grown so big, there are still some shadows of the past...... But the old slave remembers that you were a ......."
Mama Hua closed her breath blankly, her eyes were incredulous for a moment, but they quickly returned to normal.
Murong Xi accurately grasped the subtle changes in Mama Hua's expression, and said lightly: "By chance, I was cured." β
Mama Hua understood, "Miss Murong is auspicious, so the old slave is relieved." β
The politeness that I hadn't seen for many years finally stopped, and Jiang Huaiyin asked leisurely:
"This king came today to ask if it was this king who rescued the princess when Murong Murong's mansion was on fire?"
"Princess?" Mama Hua glanced at Murong Xi, "The old slave doesn't hear anything outside the window, rarely has contact with outsiders, and doesn't know the movements of the outside world, it turns out that Miss Murong has already been with His Highnessββ"
"Yes and no?" Murong Ji went straight to the point and asked.
Mama Hua's shoulders collapsed, as if she didn't want to mention old things, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
couldn't help but glance at Jiang Huaiyin's face, and made sure that Jiang Huaiyin also wanted to know the truth, so he told the story.
"Back then, it was His Royal Highness who rescued Miss Murong - the princess."
Jiang Huaiyin was still young that year, with Mars all over her body, and she was still holding a crying girl in her arms, it was Murong Xi.
I don't know where Xiao Jiang Huaiyin got the strength, ran all the way to the palace gate, his tense heart suddenly broke, and he passed out with Murong Xi.
Cining Palace was busy all night, and the two small ones, one of them cried with their eyes open, and refused to say anything.
One was unconscious with his eyes closed, not knowing when he would wake up.
The Queen Mother instructed people not to publicize the matter without knowing it.
Afterwards, Jiang Huaiyin was probably stimulated too severely, or according to the imperial doctor, the physical exertion caused by breaking through the limit in his body was too heavy, and he was in a coma for a month before he gradually woke up.
It's just that after waking up, Jiang Huaiyin didn't know anything about the fire that night.
The people in Cining Palace could only continue to obey the orders of the Queen Mother and keep their mouths shut about the events of that night.
Who knows that this guard has come to this day.
Mama Hua sighed: "The old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not-"
Jiang Huaiyin nodded lightly.
Mama Hua looked at Jiang Huaiyin and said sincerely: "In fact, the Queen Mother of the year invested all her energy on Her Majesty. So much so that she knows very little about His Highness. β
"When she learned of the fire in the General's Mansion, the Queen Mother was vaguely suspicious of His Royal Highness, so she ordered everyone not to spread the word."
"The old slave is courageous, I implore His Royal Highness to be considerate and considerate of the Queen Mother's good intentions!"
At the end of Mama Hua's words, she got up from the chair and knelt down at Jiang Huaiyin.
Jiang Huaiyin did not stop him, his indifferent eyes glanced at Mama Hua coldly.
Murong Xi also quietly observed everything, and finally found the answer to that hint of doubt.
Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and she asked Mama Hua seemingly unintentionally: "Mama Hua, please get up first, there is still something that Mama Hua needs to solve for the prince." β
"But the princess doesn't hurt to say it, the old slave must know everything." Mama Hua stood up and looked at Murong Xi.
Murong Ji said: "If I remember correctly, Mama Hua used to be on an equal footing with Mama Yu in Cining Palace. Why did the gods disappear from Cining Palace unconsciously? β
Jiang Huaiyin's narrow phoenix eyes, with deep eyes at the bottom, continued Murong Xi's words and asked, "Why did you appear in Bashu?" β
Mama Hua didn't expect the two of them to ask this question, so she blurted out in amazement: "The prince came to ask on the order of the Queen Mother?" β
Jiang Huaiyin shook his head, "No one knows about this king's departure from Beijing this time. β
"Don't hide it from the prince and princess." Mama Hua swallowed her saliva, and her eyes dodged for a moment, "It's a shame to say that the old slave was jealous of the Queen Mother's reuse of Yurong, and it was clear that he entered the palace at the same time, but Yurong can always take credit in front of the Queen Mother, and the old slaveββ"
Mama Hua looked resentful, and then said: "And the old slave can only do some trivial things. Driven by jealousy, the old slave caught a poisonous snake and put it on the queen mother's bed, wanting to frame Yurong. β
"After that, he was caught red-handed by Yurong and handed over to the Queen Mother."
Mama Hua finished telling the story in one breath, and a look of despair appeared on her gray face.
"It's all caused by the greed of the old slave - fortunately, the queen mother remembered the love of the master and servant, and let the old slave go, so that the old slave could get out of the palace-"
"Mama Flowers!" Murong Xi interrupted Mama Hua's sorrow and said with a faint smile: "Then when you leave the palace, why did you choose Bashu?" β
"After all, the old slave offended the Queen Mother, and the princess also knows that His Majesty is a filial son today." Mama Hua patiently explained, and glanced at Jiang Huaiyin without a trace, "Although the Queen Mother spared the life of the old slave, if Your Majesty knew about it, the old slave would not be able to escape death!" β
"Therefore, the old slave chose the prince's fief as a place to live, and he was also lucky, hoping that one day he would be found by His Majesty, and the prince would remember the old love in the past and save the old slave's life."
Mama Hua seemed to be from the bottom of her heart, but the more Murong Xi listened, the more outrageous she felt.
