The crown prince has been with Zhao Zhao today. Zhao Zhao is about to give birth, but just as the family case resumes, she thinks about it day and night, and she can't sleep.

The prince had no choice, so he came to the small courtyard to talk to her as soon as he was free, and promised her that he would not be at ease until she fell asleep.

It was still early today, and the prince came here as soon as he returned to the East Palace, and he wanted to coax her to eat more, but he heard the princess looking for him.

Who is the crown princess, both the prince and Zhao Zhao both know, Zhao Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks and urged him to leave, "It should be a big deal, don't let her wait for a long time." ”

The prince got up and said with a smile: "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, there is me outside." ”

Zhao Zhao nodded, and didn't get up to send him out. When the prince came out of the courtyard, the little palace maid who was waiting for her came over and said, "Beauty, the princess is too much, you are waiting to give birth now, His Royal Highness the prince just came to accompany you for a few more days, and she snatched people away in such a hurry." ”

Zhao Zhao was originally drinking millet porridge, but when he heard this, he looked at her, lowered his eyes and continued to drink porridge, without speaking.

This little palace maid was given to her by the prince when she entered the East Palace, although her mouth was a little broken, but what she said before would not be so conspicuous. But in the past two months, she has to say a few words about the crown princess from time to time.

Zhao Zhao had reprimanded her before, but after a while, it started again.

She was about to reprimand her again, when she saw her red eyes and said, "The slave is also for the good of the beauty." Why do beauties think slaves and maids are fighting to disgust you? Just because the slave was born in the palace and grew up in the palace, she has seen a lot, and naturally knows more than the beauty. ”

"The beauty is simple-minded, and she only guards His Royal Highness, thinking that as long as you follow the rules, you will be fine, but ...... This is in the palace, not elsewhere, no one can believe it, let alone the crown princess. Beauty doesn't have to dislike slaves, beauties are good to slaves, slaves and maids give beauties, there will be no other masters, a body of honor and disgrace is tied to you, it is really wholeheartedly planned for you. ”

Zhao Zhao thought in his heart, since this palace is so bad, no one can believe it, then why do you think I will believe you?

She pursed her lips and listened quietly as she continued.

The little palace maid knelt on the ground, "Crown princess...... I'm already afraid of you, and I want to take a side room for the prince. ”

After she finished speaking, as if relieved, Zhao Zhao was sure that he should believe her this time, but Zhao Zhao just continued to drink millet porridge and ignored it at all.

She thought that this little palace maid should have been bought.

How could someone like the crown princess take the initiative to take a concubine for the crown prince? It is still possible for the prince to take a concubine himself.

Zhao Zhao smiled, in the past two years in the palace, she can be considered to understand some of the rules in the palace, so the eyes of the little palace maid are a little strange.

After she and the others left, she summoned a grandmother and said, "You go and call Grandma Su next to the crown princess...... Secretly called. ”

The grandmother was frightened, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she hurriedly called Mama Su. Mama Su was already scared in her heart, but when she heard that it was Zhaomei looking for her, she immediately collapsed, looked at the room where the princess and the prince were talking together, and went obediently.

When she got to Zhao Meiren, she didn't kneel down, and straightened her waist, "What's the matter with the beauty?" ”

Zhao Zhao said: "Chunmei, the little palace maid who serves me, you can report it to the crown princess for check, she has always been wrong in the past two or three months." ”

Mama Su: "......"

Never expected a conversation.

But he didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly led people away. As soon as she left, Zhao Zhao sat down quietly and drank porridge.

She thought that the people in this palace and the heavens in the palace were not happy.

And now she can't get out.

……

In the East Palace, the palace of the crown princess, the prince sat on a stool with a stiff expression. The crown princess's first sentence was not a question, not a suspicion, but a hopeful question, "Shouke, Lan Shi...... Still alive? ”

Since she was sent out, she always hoped that he would be alive.

The crown prince didn't expect the princess to be so crooked and mistakenly found Lan Shi's tablet. He took a deep breath and shook his head, "Passed away...... It's this spring. ”

The crown princess's tears fell directly, "How did you die...... Sick and dead? ”

The prince nodded, "Yes, he has always been in poor health. ”

The crown princess cried and asked, "Where did you hide him, I ...... I...... Where is it buried...... I want to pay my respects to him. ”

The prince hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "In Lingnan." ”

Lingnan ......

It's so far away.

There is a border over there, and there are many mountain bandits, so how can I send it over there, but I heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the weather is good, and Lan Shi can recuperate there.

She held back her crying and asked, "Does Lan Shi want to go there?" I hadn't heard him say it before. ”

The prince's expression slowly stiffened: "No...... Not what he wanted to go. ”

This matter has been held in his heart for too long, making him suffer day and night, and now that the crown princess knows, he is relieved, with a kind of guilt, a kind of weakness, and a tone of repentance: "Yingniang, it's not what Lan Shi wants to go...... It was I who forced him to go south. ”

"He just stopped at Lingnan."

The crown princess didn't understand it at first, but he was so familiar with the crown prince, she sat there, slowly stood up, looked at the prince in disbelief, and then asked, "You forced him to go?" You...... Have you seen him? ”

The prince shook his head.

The crown princess understood him too well, and her hands clenched together, "Can you ...... Let him be free? ”

The prince's body trembled, "No." ”

The crown princess burst into tears, and suddenly walked over and grabbed his shoulder, "Shouke, are you still telling people to stop him from going out-"

The prince lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, "Yes." ”

The crown princess's fingers were shaking.

The crown princess hoarsely voiced, "Then you tell me, tell me the original-Shouke, the spring day in Lingnan, haven't you seen Lan Shi before-"

The prince knelt down with a puff, "Yingniang, you scold me, I'm sorry Lan Shi, I'm sorry Taifu!" ”

As soon as the crown princess let go of her hand, her body fell back slightly, and she sat straight on the ground.

She looked at the prince who was prostrate on the ground in pain, and said in a daze: "Shouke, you ...... Don't kneel to me—when you go to Kneelland, if you have a conscience, you go to Kneelland......"

The crown prince cried so much that he could barely speak, but the crown princess suddenly smiled, "At that time, when His Majesty wanted to give Lan Shi this name, I didn't quite agree with it. ”

"You are a longevity, prolonging life like a chrysanthemum, he is Lan Shi, Lan Shi is just a spring, and a spring is fleeting."

"Fleeting...... Ephemeral ...... Now it's gone. ”

She said these words, used all her strength, and then said in a daze: "Shouke, March 3, it's not spring yet...... When he left, it was snowing heavily in Kyoto, and it was very cold, and the spring day in Lingnan was warm...... It's better in spring than in winter. ”

The prince couldn't hold back any longer, and cried bitterly, "I deserve to die—where do I have the face to see them—"
