Chapter 40: Kill, Leave No Death
Sitting on the side, Fei Wan watched Shi Xi carefully feed Ling Zhiwei medicine, and couldn't help but smile with relief: "I didn't expect you to be loyal to Ling Zhiwei, Ling Zhiwei has you as a subordinate, but it is her blessing." ”
Shi Xi replied to her words while feeding the medicine: "If there is no Miss, I'm afraid there is no me now, I am very grateful to Miss Ling, shouldn't I be loyal to her?" ”
Fei Wan didn't speak, just looked at him.
Looking at Shi Xi's behavior, I am afraid that the relationship between the two of them is by no means as simple as the superficial inferiority, this Shi Xi definitely has a different affection for Ling Zhiwei.
I don't know how long it took, Ling Zhiwei woke up, and the first thing she saw was Shi Xi, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "Shi Xi...... You ......"
"I'll help you up."
Ling Zhiwei wanted to sit up, but Shi Xi was quick and helped her up.
Shi Xi also took a cushion and put it on Ling Zhiwei's back, letting her lean comfortably, and after everything was arranged, he asked her kindly, "How is it?" Do you still feel bad? ”
Ling Zhiwei shook her head: "It's okay, it's much better." ”
Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
Ling Zhiwei's mouth opened, and she was about to say something, but her eyes swept to Lu Heng next to her and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”
As soon as his eyes turned, when he touched the fish next to him, his eyes couldn't help but change, and he said, "The girl is also here?" What a rarity. ”
Lu Heng said: "I heard that you fainted, this palace came to see you......"
After a pause, Lu Heng added: "Yes or no, it was too late to save you, this palace understands your intentions, and also knows that it happened suddenly, and you can't accept it for a while, but the long pain is better than the short pain, this palace hopes that you can understand this truth, staying next to someone who doesn't love you is not good for you, it is better for us to be commensurate with the relationship between brother and sister, good for you and me." ”
Fei Wan touched Lu Heng's arm, and his eyes motioned him to stop talking: "She's angry, it's not because of you, why are you still stimulating her?" ”
Lu Heng was about to speak, but Ling Zhiwei took a step ahead of him and said: "Fei Wan girl misunderstood, I know the kindness of Brother Prince, I blame Brother Prince, Brother Prince can treat me as a sister, I already think that these are enough, as long as His Royal Highness does not hate me, I am willing to do anything, besides, Fei Wan girl is the destined person of Brother Prince, I just presented the grace of the Queen Mother, just to take care of the Brother Prince for the Fei Wan girl, now that the Fei Wan girl is back, I should indeed give way, in the future, It's not too late to be Zhiwei's sister-in-law. ”
Ling Zhiwei smiled at Fei Fei.
Fei Wan originally thought that she would mind this matter, but she didn't expect her to be so open-minded, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, you can think like this, I'm very happy, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to figure it out at first......"
Ling Zhiwei smiled and looked at Lu Heng: "There is nothing I can't figure out, my father entrusted me to His Highness, and he just wanted His Highness to protect me, and I didn't say that I had to be His Highness's wife, I Ling Zhiwei didn't want anything in my life, as long as someone could accompany me, it was good enough, I didn't ask for so much, I also respected His Highness's opinion, His Highness was also very good to me, if it weren't for His Highness, I wouldn't have been raised by the Queen Mother, if it weren't for His Highness, how could I be where I am now?" ”
Lu Heng looked at her and was silent.
Ling Zhiwei's physical condition was not very good at the moment, and Lu Heng and the others continued to say a few words of greeting, and then left the house.
Walking on the road, Fei Wan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Ling Zhiwei is really bitter, she has lost her father and mother since she was a child, and no one has accompanied her, she has survived until now, but it is amazing, the head of the palace is cheating, presumably her life in the palace is not very good." ”
"It's really a response to that sentence, a child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass."
Hearing her words, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing: "You, why did you suddenly talk about this, what is not lacking in this world is poor people, everyone is pitiful, isn't this palace pitiful?" ”
Fei Wan looked him up and down a few times: "Your dignified Royal Highness the Crown Prince enjoys glory and wealth, what is there to be pitiful?" ”
"Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, I, Lu Heng, are pampered and live a prosperous and wealthy life, but how do they know that the position of the prince is so easy to sit on?"
Lu Heng pulled his lips and smiled: "Everyone wants Bengong to die, and they want to pull Bengong off the horse, do you know how the restless case of the people of Xuancheng fell on Bengong's head back then?" It was the palace that personally asked for an order, and the people in the capital were panicked by the Xuancheng case, and the officials were also reluctant to go, but in order to consolidate the status of the prince of the palace, I asked for my life, but it was because of that time that I could meet you. ”
"However, after the Xuancheng case was stabilized, those people were afraid that the palace would establish its prestige and make great contributions, and when the palace was about to return to the court, they would send someone to assassinate the palace.
Mingxu said: "Especially the people who are the concubine Rong, they are chasing after His Royal Highness, and they are afraid that His Highness can make great contributions, and His Royal Highness is also having a difficult time to get to where he is now." ”
"And what happened to those who assassinated you?" It's not too late to ask tentatively.
Lu Heng stared at her, and his eyes became indifferent at this moment: "Do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" ”
"Of course it's true."
"Except for Imperial Concubine Rong, the others have solved it secretly in the palace, killed them, and left no life."
Hearing this, Fei Wan's heart trembled: "Does Your Majesty also know?" ”
"I know, it is precisely with the acquiescence of my father that this palace can be so unscrupulous, and since then, no one will dare to fight the idea of this palace again."
Fei Wan touched his chest, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I am really grateful to His Royal Highness for raising his noble hand and not killing me, I always thought I knew you very well, but I didn't expect that I was too conceited to understand you at all." ”
Lu Heng sneered twice, reached out and touched her head: "It's not your fault, it was Bengong who refused to say it before, and it's normal that you don't know, but at the beginning, Bengong did want to kill you, but then I thought about it calmly and felt that this matter was very strange, and Bengong also told myself that you have a hard time, that's why it's like this, and fortunately, my mind at that time was not so strong, otherwise, if you don't wait for the misunderstanding to explain clearly, you are no longer in this world." ”
Fei Wan raised his eyebrows: "Then I still want to thank you?" ”
Lu Heng stretched out his long arms, put his arms around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Then how do you want to thank me?" ”
"Can I give you a slap in the face?" Fei Wan glanced at him and asked rhetorically.
Lu Heng withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "It's immoral if it's not too late, okay, I won't talk about it, it's okay this way, right?" ”
Fei Wan just snorted coldly and didn't speak.
As if remembering something, Fei Wan asked, "By the way, is that bottle of raccoon flowers still with you?" ”
"Yes, in the study."
Hearing this, Fei Wan touched his chin and thought about it.
When Lu Heng saw it, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Did you think of something? ”
"Since you still have tanuki here, whose tanuki is there on His Royal Highness?" Fei Wan said while thinking: "If His Royal Highness King Chong is not a murderer, could it be that there is a third person?" Who is this third person? And who wants to blame His Royal Highness? ”
"You said that your mother took the tanuki from the murderer?" Lu Heng said.
"Yes."
Lu Heng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "So far, we can't be sure who still has a raccoon flower...... If Lu Wei's line is broken, I'm afraid this matter will really be impossible to investigate, and things will only get more and more tricky. ”
"We'll see when the time comes, we have to deal with this kid Lu Wei first."
Lu Heng nodded: "Hmm." ”
……
Soon it was the day for the Queen Mother to return to Beijing, the North Gate of Chaoyang was the only way to enter the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the ministers to wait in front of the North Gate of Chaoyang to welcome the Queen Mother and her old man.
Behind him, a middle-aged man in an official uniform stepped forward and saluted Lu Heng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't come unharmed." ”
With a glance, Lu Heng recognized the person who came, and pulled his lips and smiled: "Rong Shangshu." ”
Rong Shangshu is the father of Emperor Rong, who assassinated Lu Heng back then, and naturally has a share of his Rong Shangshu.
"I didn't expect that after many years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could still remember Weichen, it's really gratifying." Rong Shangshu smiled and said: "In the past three years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been ill and has never stepped into the court, the old minister really feels sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince, who dared to hurt our noble Royal Highness the Prince, if the old minister knows, he will definitely let that person go to hell, but now His Royal Highness the Prince's eye injury has healed, and the old minister is also happy for His Royal Highness." ”
The news of his eye injury, three years ago, he had already asked someone to block the news, and outsiders only knew that his eye was injured, but they did not know who was injured.
Lu Hengpi didn't smile, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "How can this palace not remember Rong Shangshu?" Rong Shangshu is an acquaintance here in this palace, if he can't recognize it, then it's not the palace's fault. ”
Hearing this, Rong Shangshu's body trembled, and then he felt the pressure from his shoulder, Lu Heng grabbed his shoulder, it seemed gentle, but Rong Shangshu felt infinite strength, felt a sense of oppression, and felt that his entire shoulder was about to break.
Rong Shangshu pulled out a smile and raised his eyes to look at him: "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" There are so many people here, and His Highness is not afraid of losing his reputation? ”
"Afraid of what? Does Hongu have a bad reputation? It's Rong Shangshu, take care of your daughter, although she is Princess Rong, but she can't protect you for a lifetime, understand? ”
"Understood, understood."
Rong Shangshu nodded again and again.
Lu Heng gave up and let go of his hand.
Seeing this, the officials on the side couldn't help but start talking to each other, looking at their appearances, as if they were criticizing Lu Heng's behavior.
Lu Heng's cold gaze swept over everyone present, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
When many ministers touched his gaze, they immediately shut up and did not dare to be presumptuous.
At this time, Ming Xu came from nowhere, he walked to Lu Heng's side, and said softly: "Your Highness, the girl has already gone to Baihualou." ”
"I know, ask someone to protect secretly, and if there is a special situation, report it immediately." Lu Heng nodded.
Mingxu said respectfully: "Yes, the subordinates have already asked someone to protect them secretly, but Baihualou has Murong Chang'an's kid and His Royal Highness the Heavy King, so there must be no big problems." ”
The two of them stood in front of everyone and discussed in a low voice, while Rong Shangshu stood behind Lu Heng, staring closely at his back, and he didn't know what bad ideas he was making.
