Chapter 297
Du Yuanxiu's heart tightened, she was also frightened by her own thought, and didn't dare to think about it any further.Turning around slowly, she didn't want to step on her own skirt, and almost fell to the ground in a flash. The father-in-law next to her quickly stepped forward to support her, "Mistress, be careful! The slave will help you back."
"No...no need." With an unnatural expression, she withdrew her hand and nodded slightly, then slowly left the father-in-law's sight.
The old man looked at the lonely back who left, and sighed softly.The side concubine is such a good person, why can't His Highness see her?
He really couldn't understand, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, wouldn't it be nice to have a few more Xieyu flowers by his side?Why hang on a tree while ignoring the people around him?Hey, Your Highness is still too young after all...
The next day.
"Your Majesty, your complexion is not very good." The maid poured a cup of tea for Du Yuanxiu worriedly, and looked at the woman's slightly pale face.Now the empress is pregnant, so she must be careful in everything.
Du Yuanxiu shook her head slightly, only she knew that she tossed and turned all night yesterday and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Seeing that Du Yuanxiu didn't respond, the palace maid was so frightened that she stretched out her hand and gave her a gentle push, and then the dazed woman came to her senses, "Well, I'm just a little tired."
"Do you want to call the imperial doctor to come over and see for your empress?"
"No need... County Lord Yongji...has he entered the palace today to feel the princess' pulse?"
"The slave does not know."
Du Yuanxiu nodded slightly, looking at the haggard face in the mirror, the dull eyes, and this personalityless temper, if he were His Highness, he wouldn't like it, would he?What His Highness likes should be strange women like the County Lord Yongji.
The more Du Yuanxiu thought about it, the more he felt that a huge stone was pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe. "Help me out for a walk."
"Yes, ma'am."
After leaving the dormitory, Du Yuanxiu found that something was different in the womb of the crown prince today. Everyone had a solemn expression and the atmosphere was a little tense.
"What happened, why are they so cautious?" Just now, a father-in-law saluted her tremblingly, and then stepped back quickly.
"Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness came out today. It seems that the Crown Princess has been scolded by His Highness...Your Highness is not in a good mood."
The palace people have long been used to the amiable His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now they suddenly become so serious, no wonder the palace people are a little nervous.
The crown princess was trained by His Highness?This is really rare. Du Yuanxiu only remembers that every time he sees His Highness and the Crown Princess together, they always look envious of others' love. Now that he thinks about it, most likely they are acting for others to see.But now His Royal Highness doesn't even have the thought of acting.
"Where is Your Highness?"
"..." The maid slightly opened her mouth, but she didn't dare to say anything.She originally wanted to remind the side concubine that if she met His Highness, she should avoid it, otherwise, if she angered His Highness, she might end up in the same fate as the Crown Princess, but she didn't expect that the side concubine knew this and wanted to hit the gunpowder .
Du Yuanxiu took a deep look at her, and the maid lowered her head timidly, "His Highness is in the plum forest."
In a certain desolate corner in the plum grove, that handsome man stood alone under the plum blossom tree. The plum blossom petals that fell from time to time in the breeze blew by, carrying endless sadness.Du Yuanxiu just stood not far away and watched quietly, she deeply felt the sad aura on Dongfang Xu.
Feeling a pain in his heart, he stretched out his hand to support the plum tree beside him.In her heart, His Highness has always been a man shrouded in a halo, so high and noble, so dazzling that it is unmatched.But now, it was as if his soul had been taken out of him, leaving only a lifeless shell, which was heartbreaking and painful.
Du Yuanxiu couldn't describe her mood. His Highness was trapped by love, and she used it so deeply that she felt that no one would be able to walk into His Highness's heart in the future.
All this, just for one person.
Du Yuanxiu lowered his head and tightly grasped his sleeve, then as if he had figured it out, he turned around and strode away.
Princess bedroom.
"Princess, are you awake?" The little girl on the couch slowly opened her eyes, her elegant face gradually became clear, Yong Ning opened her mouth slightly, but felt that her mouth was extremely dry and unable to utter a word.
"Princess, water..."
Immediately, a court lady brought a cup of tea and carefully served her to drink it.
Yun Shu gently caressed her tender face, "Princess, are you feeling better?"
"Sister Shu..." As soon as she spoke, the maid next to her immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Her Royal Highness finally woke up.
"What happened...I...what happened..." Obviously, Princess Yongning didn't remember everything.
"The princess has been in a coma for many days."
"Poisoned?" Yongning sat up with difficulty, "How could I... be poisoned?" She just felt that her mind was very confused, and she didn't understand the meaning of Yunshu's words.
"After the princess ate the buns sent by the maid, she was poisoned and passed out. The emperor has already captured the maid."
steamed stuffed bun?Yes, she remembered that she was eating buns.Yongning finally came to his senses after a long time, "What, father took Cui Liu down? This... has nothing to do with Cui Liu, I asked her to secretly deliver buns to me!"
Yun Shu immediately corrected her tone, "Your Highness, the bun was poisoned, and the emperor thought it was done by that maid."
"Poisoning? No, it's impossible! Cui Liu won't poison me! She must have been framed, I'm going to ask Father to release her!" The maid stopped her.
"Princess, don't be in a hurry. The court lady was just imprisoned, and she didn't get lynched. It's just that the princess still remembers what happened before?" Yun Shu's words reminded Princess Yongning to recognize her situation as soon as possible.
Yongning's expression changed, of course she remembered.She went on a hunger strike to protest, and didn't want to follow her father's arrangement to make a kiss, but now she woke up from the poison...she raised her head timidly, "Sister Shu...doesn't Yongning need to go to make a kiss?"
However, Yunshu just looked at her so quietly, Yongning's eyes turned red, "Why... I'm in such a miserable situation, Father still wants me to make a kiss?"
Yun Shu looked at the young princess, in fact, if she had kept her own life in the first place and hadn't met Emperor Xiao, then today's events would not have happened.But the world is unpredictable, perhaps, this is her fate.
"No, instead of going to Yi Country to get married, it's better, I'd rather die here!"
Yongning's words immediately startled the maid, "Your Highness must not!"
However, Yunshu stood up slowly, and looked down at the little girl in front of her, "Princess, have you thought it through?"
"I..." Yong Ning was just talking for a while, she hasn't lived enough, how could she want to die?However, she couldn't express the grievance in her heart, she buried her head and burst into tears.
This sad cry made Yun Shu's heart soften, she was still just a child after all.But living in the emperor's family, even though he was well-clothed and well-fed, in many places, he couldn't even compare to the children of ordinary people's families.This important matter of marriage cannot be decided by oneself.
"Is there any place the princess wants to go, these few days, Yunshu can take the princess around." This is all Yunshu can do, she can try her best to save the little girl's life in the future, However, as a princess, she also has her own responsibilities.
If Kingdom Chen is strong enough, it doesn't have to be played by Xiao Yichen in the palm of his hand, Yun Shu hoped that everyone would realize this.
"I..." Princess Yongning's first thought turned out to be Marquis Changding's Mansion!
Seeing Princess Yongning's sudden expression, Yun Shu leaned forward cautiously, "Your Highness, do you like Emperor Xiao?"
"No, how is this possible... He treats me like this, and it's too late for me to hate him!" At this moment, Yongning had already forgotten about Xiao Huang's saving her before, and she only knew that if it wasn't for Xiao Huang, how could she? Get to where you are today.
Yun Shu understood in her heart, but fortunately, this simple girl was not deceived by Xiao Yichen's outstanding appearance and tenderness, such a straightforward personality, once she hated it, it would be difficult to change her mind.What Yun Shu is most worried about is that Princess Yongning will be used like she was in the past, and no matter how much she protects her, she will be unable to guard against it.
"Your Highness, today, should understand that Emperor Xiao is not a good person, right?"
Yongning's tears were rolling in her eyes, if only she had listened to others' persuasion... If you want to blame, blame that hateful Xiao Huang!
"But... I, I really don't want to make a kiss..."
Yun Shu looked at the little girl who was still unhappy, and sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, on this trip, Yun Shu will accompany His Highness to Yi Kingdom."
Yong Ning sobbed and raised his small face, his delicate facial features were tightly wrinkled at the moment, he suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yun Shu, buried his face in her arms and began to cry loudly.
This warm and slender body made Yun Shu's heart tremble. She slowly lowered her head to look at the heartbroken little girl in her arms, and after a long time stretched out her hand to stroke her hair gently.
Xiao Yichen, how many people have been hurt by his ambition.
"Yongning, as long as you don't want to, Sister Shu has a way to prevent him from touching you..."
……
After comforting the sad little girl, Yun Shu quietly retreated from the princess palace, not wanting to meet the people in the princess's womb just as she stepped out of the palace gate.
"Master Yongji, the side concubine is here to invite you."
In the empty pavilion, Du Yuanxiu had already arranged for people to guard the surroundings. Today, the Crown Princess was trained, and she might not be in the mood to come out and walk around. She can stay here and wait for the County Lord Yongji with peace of mind.
That elegant figure came from a distance, Du Yuanxiu's eyes fell on Yun Shu's body, and he couldn't move his eyes for a long time.
There is such a woman, even just a glance, is enough to be pleasing to the eye and unforgettable.County Lord Yongji is the same person as His Highness, with a halo around him, but even more distant than His Highness, because... I can't see what she is thinking.
