Chapter 276: The Past
Xiahou Shuang hurriedly retreated, and after the others left, the Queen Mother said to an old palace maid beside her: "What do you think of this woman?"
"The princess is young but has a lot of ideas, presumably the prince's vision will not be bad. The female officer Chen said.
The Queen Mother nodded and sighed: "I hope it is with Rong'er, so that Rong'er can suffer less." ”
As soon as Xiahou Shuang came out of Cining Palace, he met Xiao Xinrong who came to look for him, Xiahou Shuang's smiling face shone like a pearl, Xiao Xinrong was happy when he saw it, and walked up to take Xiahou Shuang's hand and asked, "Have you finished saying hello to the imperial grandmother?"
"I just came here for a while, and I was asked to come back without saying anything, but the imperial grandmother's expression was a little strange. Xiahou Shuang tilted her head and thought about it.
"What's so strange?" Xiao Xinrong hurriedly asked.
Xiahou Shuang said the Queen Mother's words at the moment, and finally asked, "Is Brother Chun hiding something from me?"
Xiao Xinrong fell into deep thought and did not answer immediately, Xiahou Shuang stopped and said into his eyes: "Lord Wang, since I have married you and we have become husband and wife, we should be husband and wife, is there anything else I can't know?"
Xiao Xinrong saw that Xiahou Shuang had a trace of displeasure in her eyes, and called herself the prince, knowing that she was angry, Xiao Xinrong tightly held Xiahou Shuang's hand and pondered for a moment and said, "When we return home, I will inform you of the twists and turns." ”
"Okay!" Xiahou Shuang's eyes clarified, staring at Xiao Xinrong and nodded.
The two returned to the mansion, and then the palace attendants sent the queen's reward, and the queen began to reward, how could other concubines lag behind, all the palace ladies were rewarded, and the eyes of the Chunya people when they saw such a pair of treasures lit up, and said to Xiahou Shuang: "Miss, I didn't expect us to become so rich after marrying the prince." ”
Xiahou Shuang saw that Chunya instantly became a fan of wealth, and nodded her forehead with a smile in her heart and said, "Restrain yourself, save it and make the prince laugh." ”
Chunya stuck out her tongue and told boxes of rewards to be carried into the storeroom.
After Xiahou Shuang finished freshening up at night, Xiao Xinrong waved his hand to let the maids retreat, and picked up a piece of cotton cloth to suck the water on his head.
Xiao Xinrong waited for the wipe to be almost finished, hugged Xiahou Shuang in his arms, and then said: "I don't think I'm the biological mother of the queen mother, maybe my biological mother is someone else." ”
A sentence blew Xiahou Shuang up straight, and said with a serious expression: "The prince must not talk nonsense, who doesn't know that you are the biological son of the middle palace today, how can these words be nonsense!"
Xiao Xinrong saw that her little face was tense, knowing that he was frightened, and hurriedly hugged her body, Xiahou Shuang felt that Xiao Xinrong's chest was rising and falling, and she almost laughed, and then she understood that the prince of feelings was playing with herself, and pursed her lips at the moment without saying a word.
Xiao Xinrong felt that Xiahou Shuang seemed to be angry, and he must have been worried about himself, so he said with a warm heart: "I'm not joking, I really think so in my heart." ”
"Do you know that I have two imperial brothers above?" Xiao Xinrong mentioned this secret news in the palace, Xiahou Shuang pricked up his ears and nodded: "I heard that the prince died early, but I don't know the details. ”
"You only know one thing but you don't know the other, he died early because of an accident. Xiao Xinrong had a hint of solemnity on his face, and slowly mentioned the dusty past.
Empress Chen has three sons, the eldest son of the emperor was made the crown prince early, the second son Xiao Xinmao is smart and delicate, and is deeply loved by the queen and His Majesty.
An incident happened when Xiao Xinmao was eight years old, which instantly changed the fate of the two brothers.
It was an evening in the summer, and the palace people who had been searching for Xiao Xinmao to no avail found Xiao Xinmao's body in a pool in a remote corner of the palace, and by the time they fished him up, he was already out of breath.
Empress Chen cried to death, and later lingered for a year before she got better.
Emperor Xuanhua went on a killing spree in the palace, and the palace people around Xiao Xinmao slashed and killed countless people, but no one in the palace could tell how Xiao Xinmao appeared in such a remote place.
It's just that someone mentioned that when the chaos was there, he saw Xiao Xinrong's small figure flashing there, Emperor Xuanhua called Xiao Xinrong, the young Xiao Xinrong was so frightened by His Majesty's anger that he was incoherent, and only said that it was a palace maid who led him over, but Emperor Xuanhua gathered all the palace people and he pointed out, Xiao Xinrong couldn't find the palace maid who led him.
Empress Chen also doubted that Xiao Xinrong pushed her brother into the pool, but this matter was groundless and because Xiao Xinmao was older than Xiao Xinrong and taller than him, it seems unreasonable to say that Xiao Xinrong did it, and the two are brothers of the same mother, it is really Xiao Xinrong's doing, then this son is too terrible, and he has to grow up with this scheming at a young age!
Once the seeds of suspicion were planted, they quickly took root and sprouted, and after Empress Chen couldn't find out, she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to let people kill the palace people around Xiao Xinrong, including the nurse.
Seeing that the nurse who depended on each other was beaten to death, Xiao Xinrong felt powerless, and directly launched a high fever after going back, and almost died under the lingering, but fortunately, the Queen Mother learned that he was taken to Cining Palace to take care of him, and it slowly improved.
After Xiao Xinrong got better, Emperor Xuanhua directly ordered that no one was allowed to mention this matter, Xiao Xinrong also became the second prince, and the name Xiao Xinmao became a taboo in the palace.
But the gap between Xiao Xinrong and Empress Chen is like a broken wall, and it is impossible to return to the original appearance even if it is repaired.
Xiahou Shuang sighed after hearing this, and reflexively hugged Xiao Xinrong and comforted him silently: "Didn't Brother Chun investigate later? There will definitely be clues to so many suspicious points in this matter." ”
"I have checked several times, but I have always found nothing, it has been too long, I was still young, many things have been blurred, and the insiders of this matter have all been killed with a cane, and there is no way to start. A trace of pain flashed in Xiao Xinrong's eyes, this matter is not only related to the life of a brother, but also wants to find the murderer to wash away the grievances that he has borne for many years.
"If you don't know what to do, the people behind this matter are really hidden enough, but when the time comes, Brother Chun relaxes, this day will always come!" Xiahou Shuang looked at Xiao Xinrong with a firm face and clear eyes.
Xiao Xinrong took her into his arms and rubbed her hair fiercely, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
God opened his eyes, let himself meet Xiahou Shuang, a cunning, intelligent, tenacious and cunning woman in this life, this woman has an unknown ruthlessness towards the enemy, and she can't wait to give all her sincerity to the person she really wants to defend, it is this woman who combines contradictions as a body, deeply attracts Xiao Xinrong and moistens his cold heart.
