Poison concubine curses the world

Chapter 173

He hurriedly got up and stood aside.The emperor went to Mingxia's bed and sat down, looking at Mingxia carefully.I haven't seen you for a few days, and I seem to have lost a lot of weight.The emperor frowned involuntarily, stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and felt a little hot. "Hey..." The emperor sighed, and stretched out his hand to caress Mingxia's face. When he saw Mingxia, he thought of the deceased Concubine Ru, the woman he loved, how could he not feel sad?
Mingxia heard a sigh, seemed to be full of helplessness, but also a little bit of pity, she couldn't help frowning, blinked her eyes, and opened her eyes to see the emperor sitting beside the bed. "Father..." Mingxia stammered at the emperor, fearing that the emperor would scold her, so she murmured: "I..."

Seeing that Mingxia was finally willing to come back, the emperor was very happy. He hugged Mingxia in his arms and said with a smile: "Good boy, look at you. You have only been away for a few days. Why are you so skinny? Are you here?" Is someone bullying you outside? If you have any grievances, just tell your father, and your father will definitely make the decision for you!"

Seeing that the emperor not only didn't blame her but also said that she wanted to make decisions for herself, Mingxia was moved, tears filled her eyes, she hugged the emperor and cried loudly: "Father, I thought you would scold me severely. I will never sneak out again!"

The emperor patted Mingxia's shoulder lovingly and said: "That's right, if you want anything, just ask father, father will definitely agree to you! You just ran out like this, father is so worried Ah, even the Empress Dowager rushed back from Foshan when she heard that you had sneaked out of the palace! I almost sent the entire imperial army out to find you!" "Really, the Empress Dowager returned from Foshan, yes Because I sneaked out of the palace to play?" Ming Xia asked timidly.Although the queen mother loves her very much, she is an extremely old lady. She likes well-behaved girls the most, so she always keeps her by her side in order to teach her well. Maybe she has to discipline herself again when she comes back this time ?
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, for you girl, the queen mother rushed back from Foshan overnight! Why don't you wash up and go with me to greet the queen mother?"

After Mingxia heard this, she hurriedly asked Xiao Dezi to take care of her to wash and wash herself, and followed the emperor to pay her respects to the queen mother.

Before leaving to Qing'an Hall, Mingxia suddenly stopped, stepped forward and lightly pulled the emperor's sleeve, and whispered: "Father, the queen mother..."

The emperor naturally knew that she was afraid of being punished by the queen mother, so he patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, the emperor is here!"

Only then did Mingxia follow the emperor into the Qing'an Hall.The queen mother was sitting on a chair, with a strange girl standing behind her. Normally, Mingxia would have asked the queen mother who that woman was first, but now she could only obediently kneel on the ground to apologize to the queen mother. "Mingxia has seen the Queen Mother!"

The queen mother glanced at her, ignored her, and just talked to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I heard that the third prince of Xuesang Country is coming soon. Our Hua Dynasty is a huge country. We must not lose face of the royal family. We must do our best in all the etiquette and hospitality!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Mother, please don't worry, my son will definitely make arrangements!" Then he glanced at Mingxia, and said: "Mother, Mingxia is used to being naughty, so it really shouldn't make the mother worry about getting angry. Zhen I have already taught her a good lesson! She suffered from the wind and cold outside the palace, and she is still not recovering, let her get up first!"

The Empress Dowager cast a sidelong glance at Mingxia, and seeing that her face was indeed pale, she snorted coldly, "Come here!"

Mingxia didn't dare to disobey, she got up slowly and walked towards the queen mother.The Empress Dowager took her hand, then stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, but felt it was hot, and said sternly: "A princess, who doesn't know how to stay in the palace, actually ran out of the palace to mess around! If anything happens, But what should I do? If I sneak out again in the future, the Ai family will definitely not forgive me!" While talking, she asked someone to call the imperial doctor.

Mingxia saw that the Queen Mother was like this, so she knew it was all right, so she took the Queen Mother's hand and began to act like a baby, saying: "Queen Mother, Mingxia will never dare again, so please don't be angry, Mingxia looks so scared!"

The queen mother finally showed a smile, patted her face, and sighed: "You ran out of the palace without saying a word, how worrying is that? The people outside are sinister, what should you do if you encounter bad people, let Aijia You have been anxious with your father for several days and have no peace, do you think you should be punished?" "Yes, yes! It's Ming Xia's fault for making father and queen so worried!" She stood behind the queen and nodded lightly. He beat her lightly, and now he had the time to ask: "Queen Mother, who is this sister behind you?"

The Queen Mother looked back and said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you about this!" She pulled the girl over and continued: "She is a lay disciple accepted by Master Jinghui. There was an accident at home a few days ago. The family is gone. Seeing her pity, Master Jinghui left her in Foshan. After you left, she took care of the food and daily life of Ai’s family. I saw that this child was well educated, and I liked it very much. Then bring her into the palace, and let her follow you in the future, so that you won't run around like a wild monkey!"

Unconvinced, Mingxia muttered in a low voice: "How am I like a wild monkey?" "What are you mumbling about?" the Queen Mother asked. "It's nothing, it's nothing! Queen Mother, but didn't she serve you very well, why did you give it to me again? I have enough maids and eunuchs around me, and there is really no need to give me another person to serve me!" Ming Xia laughed.It's a joke, this is obviously to let her monitor herself, she won't be so stupid.

The queen mother smiled and said: "Hui'er is a rare talented woman, and even more rare is her gentleness and humility. I feel wronged by letting her be your company. What else can you say! Stop talking, bring Hui'er Let's go to your palace!" He winked at Hui'er as he spoke.

Hui'er then came over to salute Mingxia, "Hui'er has met Princess Mingxia!" "Okay, okay! Get up!"

Mingxia turned her head to look at the emperor, and saw that he was just drinking tea with his head down, without saying a word, knowing that nothing could change the fact, so she could only take Hui'er back to her bedroom.

She hated others to control her the most, so once she returned to the palace, she never paid attention to Hui'er again, thinking that if she would leave her alone for a few days, she would go back to the queen mother when she couldn't bear it.It's just that she didn't expect such a thing to happen, which almost killed Hui'er.

That day, Hui'er went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to pay her respects as a matter of routine, and then walked towards Princess Mingxia's palace.When passing the rockery, seeing the sun was very good, she sat on the rockery to bask in the sun, remembering that the silk handkerchief embroidered for Mingxia a few days ago was not finished, so she took it out and continued to embroider.

Huier took the silk handkerchief, saw that the silk handkerchief was more than half finished, so she wanted to finish it quickly.Mingxia didn't talk to her very much these days, so she felt a little more relaxed when she came out.Hui'er's needlework has always been very good, this little thing can't help her.

Just when the work was about to be finished, a joking voice sounded, "Hey, which little maid in the palace is this, who dares to embroider needlework here so boldly?"

As soon as Huier raised her head, she couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang..." It turned out that the person who came was Wang Qiang, the son of the prime minister, because the prime minister had entered the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor, and now he had asked for an errand from the crown prince, so You can come and go freely in the palace.

Wang Qiang saw that she was the maid given to the princess by the queen mother a few days ago, and this maid was not liked by the princess.He became more courageous, even if an unfavored servant in the palace died, no one would ask him a question.He took a step forward, sized her up carefully, then stretched out his hand to touch Huier's chin, and sighed: "The people around this princess are different, all of them are outstanding?"

Hui'er took a step back, "If Mr. Wang is fine, Hui'er will leave first!" Seeing that Wang Qiang had bad intentions, Hui'er was anxious to leave.Wang Qiang is a member of the crown prince, so his status is naturally higher than that of their slaves. Although Hui Er was annoyed by Wang Qiang's molesting, she dared not speak out.

Wang Qiang reached out his hand to block Hui'er's retreat, took out the silk handkerchief in her hand, put it under the tip of her nose, took a deep breath, and sighed: "It's so fragrant, Hui'er, why don't I ask the princess for you... ..." "You, what nonsense are you talking about..." Huier blushed with embarrassment.Wang Qiang saw that Huier's cheeks were rosy and she was very shy. He felt as if a hundred cats were scratching them in his heart. How could he bear it? Call.

Huier was really frightened, she slapped Wang Qiang's face with tears, she took a step back and looked at him, and shouted: "Don't, come here, don't come here..."

Wang Qiang is lustful by nature, seeing that Huier is so ignorant, but she has a different flavor, touched her cheek, not angry, but sneered: "You think about it, I will wait for you here, if you dare to say it, I will Tell the prince that you seduce me, I am afraid that you will die without a place to bury you. If you don't come in the evening, I will give this Sipa to the queen mother and say that you are stealing men outside the palace. You should think about it for yourself Let's go!" After speaking, Wang Qiang sneered and left.

Hui'er returned to the princess' bedroom in a daze, and hid in her room without going out.Thinking of Wang Qiang's words, she was terrified, no matter what it was, she would kill her, and she didn't regret her death, but if the princess was involved, how could she feel so bad!The princess didn't like her very much at first, and if she ruined her reputation, how could she be worthy of the queen mother's entrustment to her?
She thought and thought, and finally made a difficult decision.

After Mingxia came back, she saw that Hui'er hadn't come out, she would always dangle in front of her eyes, but she was not used to it now that she wasn't in front of her!Seeing Xiao Dezi was there, he called Xiao Dezi to call Hui'er. "Princess, princess... something is wrong..." Not long after, Xiao Dezi ran in yelling. "What's the matter, what's the matter?" Mingxia asked hastily.

Xiao Dezi raised his hand and pointed at Huier's room, but he couldn't say anything, so the empress ran towards Huier's room, Mingxia's pale face also hurriedly ran towards Huier's room.

Because the nanny arrived in time, Hui'er was finally rescued, her face was pale, and she lay on the bed in panic.

Mingxia rushed over, hugged Hui'er, was terrified, and cried: "Hui'er, what are you doing? What happened? Could it be because of me?"

Xiao Dezi also looked at Hui'er in shock, and asked softly: "Hui'er, what's the matter, how can you commit suicide? See how you scare the princess? The princess is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If you do this, you will let the princess How to face the queen mother?"

The nanny looked at Hui'er and Mingxia with a cold face, and said coldly: "Hui'er, but someone bullied you?"

Huier just cried, but didn't say anything, how could a girl who hadn't left the cabinet speak like this.

After all, the nurse stayed in the palace for a long time, so she knew something in her heart, so she whispered: "But the prince?"

When Mingxia heard that it was related to the prince, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hui'er, don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely seek justice for you!" Then she stood up.
