Yijuan cloud

Chapter 46
In the past, Ms. Xu always wore gorgeous clothes and looked elegant and elegant. Now she wears a double-snail bun and is neatly dressed like a maid, like a little girl.

In fact, she is only two years older than me and only sixteen, but her courage and intelligence are already remarkable.

Wen Jin and I hurriedly knelt down to salute her and called her: "Princess."

She looked at Prince Yi and said coldly:
"Stand down. You are not allowed to tell anyone about my coming here. If you don't keep your mouth shut, just watch your skin."

We responded and quietly retreated.

Before she even walked out of the inner room, she heard Mrs. Xu crying in a low voice and calling "Your Majesty" repeatedly.

Hearing her cry made me feel sour for no reason.

Prince Yi's wound was not growing well and had begun to ooze pus. As a result, he had a fever and his lips were white and lifeless.

We just watched him from the beginning. When Xu saw his appearance, he must have been extremely frightened and sad.

There was Xu's personal maid guarding the outer door. When she saw us coming out, she whispered: "Wen Jin will stay and guard. You can go and have a rest. I can't use you tonight."

After staying up for days, I was exhausted, but I couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, so I simply got up and sat by the window.

Tianxiang Pavilion is built in the busiest street market in the city.

The shops on both sides of the road only had one or two lights on at the door, and everything was dark.

The sky is also dark, but very moist, like obsidian, and the sky is dotted with big stars.

Sometimes I think about the past situation at home, and sometimes I think about recent experiences.

Gradually it got a little brighter, but the whole market was still quiet.

I closed the window and prepared to sleep for a while, but Wen Jin came over. Just as I was about to ask her what happened, Mrs. Xu walked in from behind her.

Wen Jin closed the door and stood beside Xu silently.

Mrs. Xu was still dressed as a maid and sat on the couch by the window. I knelt on the ground and listened to her lectures.

"You pack up, and when the prince wakes up, you will come back to the capital with me."

I was startled and quickly whispered: "Yes."

Mrs. Xu added: "The cinnamon is gone. Since the prince has promoted you and asked you to serve him, you should do your best. If nothing else, if the prince is in trouble, the only way for you to be a slave is to stand in the way. Hmph, you guys What? You can just watch people being injured like this? You are very good. Just for this, even a few of your lives are not enough. If Wen Jin hadn't interceded and said that you have been serving the prince with all your heart these days, I would definitely I won’t spare you lightly.”

"The princess taught you a lesson." I whispered.

Wen Jin also knelt down next to me: "Even Zhong Ming couldn't react in time to the situation at that time. The target of those assassins was the prince, and Duo'er is just a weak woman. Please let the princess know."

"Don't think that I am deaf when I go to Beijing. If I don't have a lot of thoughts, how can I get a favor easily? If I don't do serious things, I will be charming. If I don't cure it, you will lead others to bad things. These few days before returning to Beijing Today, you are not allowed to step out of this room, and no one else is allowed to come in. Also, you are not allowed to eat for three days."

Mrs. Xu stood up and walked out, saying, "You should reflect on it."

Wen Jin tugged on my sleeve, glanced at me helplessly, and hurriedly got up and caught up with Mrs. Xu.

After the room became quiet, I sat down on the bed and remembered what Wen Jin said before.

As expected of someone who has followed Xu since childhood and understands Xu's character so well.

After hearing what happened that day, she would really get angry at others.

It’s not a big deal if you don’t ask me to go out. It’s just that I am very worried about Prince Yi’s injury. I don’t know when he will wake up. Is he in danger?
But then I thought about it, no matter what the situation was, there would definitely be some noise, and I would know about it soon, so I stayed patiently in the house.

The confinement is not terrible. I have tried my best to be patient this morning, but the feeling of being hungry is not good.

I felt hungry even if I didn’t eat even one meal, let alone three days later. I lay flat on the bed and thought, what should I do?

The door was locked from the outside, and outside the window was the three-story sky. It was impossible to fly.After two hungry meals in a row, I sat cross-legged on the bed in the middle of the afternoon, meditating like a monk and clasping my hands.

One is to pray for the prince, and the other is to make myself forget the feeling of the physical body.

But where can I sit still?After a while, I opened my eyes, and then I saw a man lying beside the window. He climbed into my house with a slight climb.

I quickly jumped out of bed and asked Zhong Ming in surprise: "How did you get in?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I remembered that he knew martial arts. Even if he couldn't fly over the walls, he could still get in by climbing from other places.

Zhong Ming took out a package from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said: "These are some beef jerky and biscuits, enough for you to eat for several meals. The princess wants to ban you, and I can't say anything, but the prince was assassinated. I am here with you, and if you are wrong, I should be punished, so don't feel sad."

I looked at the package, swallowed my saliva, and said, "I'm not sad, I'm just worried about the prince's injury."

"The prince's injury is not very good." Zhong Ming said solemnly. After he finished speaking, he added, "But the emperor has sent two more doctors from the Imperial Hospital. The prince will be fine."

"It will be fine. Your Majesty... you are always strong." I blurted out.

Zhong Ming glanced at me, said "Yeah" and said, "I'm leaving. You've been very tired these days, so take a good rest."

After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the window.

As soon as Zhong Ming left, I quickly opened the bag of food, and there was a roast leg of lamb in it.

After eating, I finally fell asleep. I fell into a deep sleep from the moment I lay on the bed.

The kitchen prepared a table of dishes, including duck confit, braised pork elbow with ham, chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, and steamed cheese with sugar. My brother and I were eagerly waiting to eat it. When my mother wasn't paying attention, she stretched out her hand and she looked over. , said: "Your father is here for dinner today, wait until he comes before eating." Waiting and waiting, but father did not come, but a boy ran over and said that Aunt Xue had a cold and a headache, and my father would not come to eat. …

In the haziness, I heard Tang Shou's voice, and I was startled. I quickly asked my mother, why did Tang Shou come to our house?
After shouting the voice, the person suddenly woke up and realized that he was in a dream just now, but Tang Shou's voice was really heard from outside the door.

"Open it! Okay, why is it locked? But there is an assassin hidden inside?"

There was just a "bang" sound, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a group of people came in, rummaging around.

Tang Shou also walked in, looked at me with his hands behind his back, and said, "Who locked you in the room?"

I lowered my eyes and knelt on the ground and said, "Back to my father-in-law, I made a mistake. Master Zhongming punished me by grounding me to think about my mistake."

Zhong Ming also came, and he said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Tang, she spilled the prince's medicine and delayed his illness. I was anxious and punished her."

Tang Shou said "hmm" and slowly walked to the table by the window.

I raised my eyes and saw that he leaned slightly and looked at the brown paper wrapping the food on the table, then looked at the window, stretched out his hand to touch the window lattice, turned around and said in a high-pitched voice:
"Bold! There are someone's shoe prints on this window. Someone must have been in and out of here. No wonder the three assassins couldn't catch her. It turns out there is a spy. Come, tie her up and interrogate her!"

I was taken aback and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law is aware of this. I am an unjust servant, let alone a spy."

Zhong Ming and Zhu Qing also knelt down quickly: "Eunuch Tang, I can guarantee that Duo'er is definitely not a spy."

Eunuch Tang walked a few steps in the room, sneered twice, and said: "Last night, someone saw that an unidentified person came in here. Our family is also concerned about the safety of the prince. Now the prince is awake, but the assassin If he is not caught, the prince will be in even greater danger. If the emperor knows that our family failed to investigate the assassin, and he wants to punish our family, our family will have no place to complain, so why not take him away quickly——"

Last night, the so-called unidentified person was only Princess Yi.

Only a few people knew about this, and no one else knew about it.

Since Princess Yi came here in disguise, she naturally didn’t want people to know...

I suddenly thought, could it be that the Xu family wanted to come over after learning that Prince Yi was injured, but the emperor didn't allow it?
The emperor's thoughts are serious. The king of Yi came to the north and even took a temporary position. His brothers didn't even hand over any real power. What else could he do if he wasn't always on guard?
Mrs. Xu was afraid that she had asked for a decree but the emperor would not allow it, otherwise she would not have come here secretly.

I suspect that Tang Shou came here for the Xu family.

However, there was such a big movement at the moment, but Xu was nowhere to be seen, and I don't know where she was hiding.
