The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1196 Hidden Murder (3)
Seeing that Qinxue also followed in, Jinghan took the lotus in her hand and handed it to the emperor, saying: "The newly bloomed lotus flowers in the imperial garden are all beautiful. Jinghan picked two and gave them to my father, my father." How do you like it?"

"I like it, what Jinghan likes, even my father likes it." The emperor took it carefully, and then ordered: "Since it is the princess's wish, then use clean water to raise it."

Immediately, a servant came up and held down the two lotus flowers. Jinghan was obviously very happy with the emperor's words. She sat leisurely in his arms and proudly reached out for the puppet in Qingchen's hand.

The emperor saw that she was ignoring Jinghan's actions and just sat in a daze, so he asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the queen, what are you thinking?"

Qingchen was called back to his senses by the emperor, and handed the little rabbit in his hand to Jinghan, and then he said with some concern: "The concubine took this girl to play in the imperial garden just now, and accidentally saw a little palace lady sneaking around. Sui hid in the rockery near the Tower of Beauty, and the concubine wanted to follow her to have a look, but Jinghan insisted on arguing to find the emperor, so the concubine had no choice but to follow her first."

The emperor thought for a while, and ordered: "Fuquan, take a few people to the rockery forest near Suoxiu Pavilion to check and see what famous halls are there?"

Fu Quan hurriedly took orders to go, Jing Han raised her head, looked at the emperor with a pair of pure big eyes blinking and asked: "Father, what happened?"

The emperor held her in his arms and weighed her and said: "It's okay, that's the business of adults, children don't need to worry about it. My Jinghan seems to have sank a little bit. I heard what you and Fuquan said outside just now, and I really grew taller again." Is it? Is this dress newly made?"

"It's really grown taller. Qinxue said that my daughter has grown an inch taller. If you don't believe me, take a look." The little girl kicked off her shoes, got up and stood on the heated kang and asked, "Look, father, has she grown taller again?"

The emperor looked at her a few times, asked her to stand by the wall, drew a red line on the top of her head with a Chinese ink pen and said, "It seems that she has grown taller. When you come again next time, I will measure it for you again." , see if it grows taller than now."

Jinghan looked back at the red line on the wall, measured the height with her hands and said, "It will be great when I can grow as tall as my father."

The little girl was wearing white silk socks embroidered with exquisite kapok, running around on the heated kang, and from time to time climbed on the emperor's back to kiss him. Xiao Jun saw that Jing Han's shoes were the same as Yi Xuan's. Dragon Boots, and asked, "Why doesn't she even wear embroidered shoes?"

Qingchen shook his head helplessly, "Except for her puppet, she must dress the same as her brothers, otherwise she will lose her temper and show her temper. The concubine has nothing to do with her, so she has to follow her. Maybe after a few years, she will understand The difference between a boy and a girl is why you are willing to wear girl clothes."

The emperor didn't force it, but just protected the corner of the table with his hands, afraid of bumping into her, and said with a warm smile: "Forget it, let her know, when she is five or six years old, she may ask you for it." The skirt is on."

Jinghan lay on the emperor's back, jumping and saying: "Father, my daughter heard that my mother has a pair of pearl shoes, which was given by my father. My daughter also wants a pair of shoes like that."

The emperor took the opportunity to say: "But those are embroidered shoes, don't you refuse to wear embroidered shoes? If you are willing to wear them, the emperor will also ask someone to make you a pair of such beautiful shoes."

"I don't want to wear embroidered shoes, and I won't wear them if my brothers don't." Jing Han turned her head unhappily, expressing that she was angry.

The emperor had no choice but to follow her and said: "Okay, if you don't wear it, don't wear it. Later, I will send you two night pearls, how about putting them on your little boots?"

"Okay, thank you, Father." Jinghan stuffed the little rabbit in her hand into his arms and said, "This is my daughter's favorite baby rabbit, let it accompany Father Father from now on. When Father sees it, It's like seeing Jinghan."

The emperor's face was slightly moved. He knew that it was Jinghan's favorite puppet. Usually, the baby would not let anyone touch it. Now he is willing to give it away, not because of the pearl shoes, but because of her puppet. An attachment to parents.

Xiao Jun stroked her little head and said with a smile: "Will the little rabbit feel lonely after leaving you? Who will you play with in the future?"

Jinghan took the puppet's hand, turned around to find a suitable place, put the puppet over, and said, "Just put it here, the little rabbit won't be lonely with the father, otherwise the father will be alone." Isn’t it lonely to be alone all the time? Jinghan has many other dolls that she can play with.”

"Okay, then put it there, and the emperor will take good care of it for you." The emperor turned his head and said, "Go and bring the princess a bowl of cherry honey juice, and also, bring some little things that the princess likes to eat." Bring snacks."

Seeing the father and daughter playing happily, Qingchen smiled slightly, then turned and looked out the door worriedly.

After a short meeting, I heard a rush of footsteps outside, and after a while, I saw Fuquan running in sweating profusely and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the old slave is leading people to the fake room near the Suoxiu Pavilion." His Highness the Third Prince was found in the forest. He was knocked out and passed out on the ground. He was injured on the back of the head and bled a lot. The servants had sent him back to Ning Concubine In the palace, people have also been sent to announce the imperial physician, do you want the emperor to go and have a look?"

Hearing that something happened to Heng'er, the emperor was anxious, and immediately got up and said: "Show Menghuangxuan."

He hurried away like a gust of wind, Qingchen asked Qinxue to put on Jinghan's shoes, and then followed quickly.

There was chaos in Menghuangxuan, seeing Heng'er injured like that, the blood quickly soaked the pillow, Concubine Ning was burned to death, and she sat beside the bed crying loudly, fearing that something might happen to Heng'er, the emperor would not be able to explain it , she has no hope for the rest of her life.

The emperor hurried into the inner room and asked, "How is it, how is the injury?"

Concubine Ning gave up some space, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, Heng'er seems to be seriously injured. The person who attacked him wanted to take his life. Fuquan found it at the place where Heng'er passed out. An iron rod, Heng'er was knocked unconscious with that thing secretly. They are so cruel, they actually used such vicious methods to deal with a child!"

The emperor looked at the long bloody gash in the back of Heng'er's head, how could he not feel sorry for his own flesh and blood, his face immediately became gloomy, and even his hands trembled a little.

At this time the imperial doctor had already rushed over, Xiao Jun was afraid that Concubine Ning's crying here would affect the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, so she ordered her to go out and wait.

Seeing such a scene, Jinghan turned pale with fright, hugged Qingchen's legs tightly and hid behind her. Qingchen was afraid that seeing such a bloody scene would startle her, so he asked Qinxue to take her out, softly Advised: "Your Majesty, Heng'er will be fine, please don't worry, wait to see what the imperial doctor has to say. The concubine remembers the appearance of the little maid, so I asked someone to make a portrait to check, since it is in the palace The servant girl, the concubine must find her out."
