After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite
Chapter 20 Moonlit Night Chat
In the Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua was walking back and forth with a heavy face, while Cao Qinmo was standing on the side, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
"I've called you here for such a long time, but you can't even say a word. It was you who came up with the idea. Tell me, what should we do now?" The more Concubine Hua thought about it, the more scared she became. If that man was really Liu Bin, then they would be exposed.
Cao Qinmo was naturally worried. After all, it was her who came up with the idea, and Liu Bin had only met her, while Concubine Hua had never paid any attention to him. If Liu Bin confessed, she would be the first to bear the brunt of the blame!
But Hua Fei couldn't think of this. In Hua Fei's eyes, what Cao Qinmo did was the same as what she did. Thinking of this, she had an idea.
"Your Majesty, at this point, we have to first confirm whether that man is Liu Bin. Many of the guards in the Old Summer Palace are former subordinates of General Nian or have received favors from the general. Your Majesty might as well send someone to sneak in directly and kill Liu Bin... once and for all." Cao Qinmo said as he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Hua Fei questioned irritably: "Then we have to find out where Liu Bin is now first!"
Cao Qinmo said, "Didn't Xiao Xiazi just say that the person was saved by Prince Guo, so he should know where the person is."
Hua Fei thought for a while and shook her head. "I have no friendship with Prince Guo, and my brother is always spreading useless words about scholars. Prince Guo likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting the most, so how can he help me?"
Cao Qin nodded in agreement, and then thought of someone, "Your Majesty usually treats the eunuch in front of the emperor well. Why not let Zhou Ninghai ask Xiao Xiazi which imperial physician treated Liu Bin just now? Then find that imperial physician. No one in the Imperial Hospital dares not to give you face."
After hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes brightened up with pride and she shouted, "Zhou Ninghai, go and do as Concubine Cao said. Make sure you take care of Liu Bin before dawn."
Zhou Ninghai agreed flatteringly.
In the veranda room, Liu Bin was lying on a tattered bed. When he heard someone opening the door, he struggled to get out of bed and hid behind the door.
A Jin opened the door, searched the room and found that the person was missing.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with that man. He ran away!"
Huanbi was extremely anxious. She had finally caught Liu Bin, but how could he escape again? In the previous life, the Zhen family and Meizhuang's maternal family had searched for him for a long time before finding him. This time, they would have to spend a lot of effort again.
Alas, she sighed and hung her head in disappointment.
Liu Bin looked at the three people's backs and tried to find the right time to escape, but he just took one step and tripped over the threshold. The three people heard the sound and turned around quickly. Ah Jin recognized him at a glance, "You bold thief, what are you going to do?"
"Liu Bin?!"
Although Huanbi had never met Liu Bin in this life, she recognized him at a glance based on the impression she had from her previous life.
"It's really you!"
Fear appeared on Liu Bin's thin face, and he said guiltily, "You've got the wrong person. I'm not Doctor Liu."
Prince Guo snorted coldly, "You are not an imperial physician, why do your hands have a strong smell of herbs? Liu Bin, who instructed you to frame Concubine Shen?"
Liu Bin was immediately frightened and fell to his knees begging for mercy: "My Lord, Miss, please spare my life. I was just greedy for money and was bewitched by the devil, so I lied to Concubine Shen that she was pregnant. I didn't mean it."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside. Huanbi pondered for a while, and then she walked up to Liu Bin with a gloomy face, pulled up his collar and said:
"Did you hear the noise outside? That person didn't kill you the first time. If you fall into her hands this time, do you still have a chance to survive? If you refuse to tell the truth, I will hand you over to that person. With her methods, I'm afraid you will neither be able to live nor die."
Liu Bin was so frightened that his lips trembled, he could not control his breathing, and saliva kept flowing out of his mouth. He was so frightened that he prostrated himself at Huanbi's feet and said:
"Please, young lady and prince, save me. I am willing to give away all my wealth and possessions. As long as I can survive, I will do anything."
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, but Liu Bin's face became paler and paler. "Tell me, who ordered you to harm Concubine Shen?"
“Yes… yes… yes…
Huanbi stared into his eyes and asked, "Who is it? Tell me now!"
Liu Bin was just about to speak when he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his body. His body quickly curled up into a ball and blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. He touched the knife wound on his back with his hand, but he died before he could touch the person.
Huanbi noticed that the wound on his back was bleeding, but the blood was not like usual, it was black. Huanbi realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "There is a problem, Prince, hurry up, let someone call the imperial physician!
After a while, the imperial physician arrived. After examining the wound, he found out that there was poison in the knife wound on Liu Bin's back. The imperial physician deduced that the poison was coated on the blade. Judging from the wound, Liu Bin discovered that he was stabbed and quickly dodged, so the blade did not penetrate deeply, and the effect of the poison took longer to take effect, until just now when it fully took effect.
Huanbi anxiously asked the imperial physician whether Liu Bin could be saved. The physician told her that Liu Bin had already died.
Huanbi walked out of the wing room, her slightly furrowed brows revealing a hint of annoyance. She turned around and said to Prince Guo, "Thanks to your help tonight, Your Majesty. I don't know how to apologize for disturbing your sleep."
Prince Guo looked at the little smile that the girl squeezed out of her loss and couldn't help feeling distressed. He smiled, wanting to break the dull atmosphere and hoping that Miss Huanbi would feel more relaxed. "I always sleep late, it's not a problem, but I regret that I can't help you."
Huanbi shook her head. "It is a great blessing for me that the prince is willing to help me. However, for this to succeed, it depends on the right time, right place and right people. None of them can be missing. I just hope that the injustice of Shen Guiren can be cleared as soon as possible, so that Guiren will not be humiliated in vain and the evildoers will not be proud."
Seeing that what she said made sense, Prince Guo also agreed, "Yes, what people ask for is often counterproductive. However, I believe that my brother did not completely believe that the fault lies with Concubine Shen when he confined her. My brother has to face so many women every day, and sometimes he has to keep a balance.
If Miss Huanbi is worried about Lady Shen and your young lady, please persuade them more. Sometimes, if you relax a little, you may get the desired result.
Also, Miss Huanbi, don't always think about others. You've been busy tonight for so long. If you're tired tomorrow, ask for leave from your mistress!"
When Huanbi heard that the prince cared about her, her face turned red. She nodded shyly, thanked the prince again, and then looked up and met his eyes. There was an unusually gentle light in the prince's warm eyes, like a pool of powerful lake staring at her. She seemed to see the tenderness in the prince's eyes.
This tenderness was like a beam of light, which made her lower her head. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions.
They talked as they walked. Under the moonlight, their shadows were stretched out long in the yard. Huanbi felt a sudden sweetness in her heart. In her previous life, she had always been desperately pursuing the prince, but the prince had never spoken to her so calmly. But in this life, the prince was not only so patient with her, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer distant, but rather more gentle.
It was getting late, so even if she wanted to talk to the prince for a while, it was no use. She walked to the door, said goodbye to the prince, stepped over the threshold, and went straight to Bitong Academy.
Prince Guo stood at the door, staring at Huanbi's departing back for a long time. For some reason, he felt that he had a very happy night.
