prince attendant

The Qifeng Palace where the crown prince lives is not in the same garden as the princes and princesses, but the distance is not too far, but after half an hour, he arrived in the garden, and saw someone standing at the door looking around in a panic, and saw the prince , that complexion turned pale in an instant, and with only one head raised, he went back to the garden.

It turned out to be a sentry.

Even when Ji Yi and the others entered the garden, several princes and princesses had already gathered at the door, and Ji Yi looked around at them, wondering:

"What about the second child, did he commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Princes: ...

Everyone was trembling, Qi Qi broke out in a cold sweat, no matter how you say it, it would be too cold to say such words, but thinking of the relationship between the person who fell into the water and His Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that it is not too much to get angry.

But in this way, why does His Highness the Crown Prince seem to be unknown at ordinary times? Everyone looks at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand the Crown Prince's thinking.

When everyone was thinking hard, Ji Yi had forgotten to walk in the garden, so someone led the way ahead, and headed towards the courtyard where His Royal Highness Ji Zhao was. Someone had already known about the situation and was waiting in the courtyard.

Ji Yi went straight in, without looking at the palace people in the courtyard, and walked into the hall. The maids and servants who served Ji Zhao knew the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince. Seeing him coming in a rage, when the door opened, they all gathered together knelt before him, begging

"Join Your Highness, the servant has neglected his duty, please forgive me!"

Ji Yi stood at the door and looked at them, frowned slightly, and said

"Is the emperor here?"

The leading eunuch bowed his head and replied

"The Holy Majesty is still in the future."

Ji Yi sneered and said lightly

"Then you can just kneel down to the emperor to convict you, but now I don't want to see a group of things that even a child can't see dangling in front of me, so go kneel outside."

After finishing speaking, she walked inside without looking, crossed the screen, and walked straight in. Mu Qing also followed, but when she crossed the screen, she stopped for a while, and turned her head to look at the man kneeling on the ground. People, I can't bear it in my heart.

Because it was still snowing outside, they just knelt outside like this. If the saint couldn't come, wouldn't they just keep kneeling? It would be too cruel.

It was so cold, and when the little Highness fell into the water, none of the palace servants were by his side. Although he had expected to be punished, he did not expect His Highness to treat them like this.

Mu Qing lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then silently followed into the inner room again. He couldn't bear it, but it was not his turn to refute the orders given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The one who fell into the water was the younger brother of a compatriot of the same mother.

Although everyone was afraid, they had no way to refute. They could only stand up and go out, kneeling in the snow in front of the princes and palace officials. Although the audience didn't ask, they knew what His Royal Highness meant.

After Ji Yi walked around the screen, he saw a few people still surrounded by the bed, they were the imperial physician who came to make a diagnosis and treatment, and Second Highness Ji Hui who was standing beside him.

And Que'er, who was waiting beside Ji Zhao, was lying on the side of the bed and weeping, her hair was covered with ice, her whole body was trembling, but her eyes were already flushed.

mallow whispered

"It was Que'er who went down to the lake, fished His Highness out of the lake and raised it over his head, before he called someone to come to rescue him."

It's just that the child is weak, and after soaking in the ice water for a while, he fell into a coma and developed a high fever.

When Que'er heard the sound, she immediately turned around and wanted to kneel down to salute, but her body stiffened and she fell off the pedals.

Ji Yi blinked, lowered his head and said

"What is it like to be in such a mess, go down."

Que'er was full of grievances and anger, but she couldn't say it out. She was a little court lady who couldn't say anything to the prince when she was facing the second highness who was the culprit of the little highness. He didn't have the slightest idea of ​​seeking justice for His Royal Highness, so he felt very angry and filed by His Royal Highness, and thought that His Royal Highness might not know about it, so he wanted to say it again.

Que'er didn't follow the prince, so he didn't know what the prince's temperament was, but Mum Kui understood His Royal Highness's disposition very well, and saw Que'er's reluctance at a glance, so she walked over immediately, helped her up, and turned to ask purpose

"Your Highness, I'll take Que'er down to clean up."

Then he pulled Que'er up, made a silent gesture to her, and then hurried out with her.

When I got to Que'er's room, I asked someone to make ginger tea, and took a towel to wipe her, but Que'er still couldn't help crying, and cried again:

"Sister Mallow, Your Highness really doesn't feel distressed at all. If I hadn't been so fast today, my little Highness, my little Highness, he might—"

"Stop talking."

Mallow held the towel, sat in front of her, and sighed

"You only say this to me, it doesn't hinder anything, don't spread it, let's come out, you can see those people kneeling outside, I might as well tell you, after today, you will never see them again, even if you -"

Mallow looked up at Que'er and said in a low voice

"If you hadn't gone down to the lake to save His Highness, and His Highness saw your loyalty, you would be kicked out of the yard tomorrow."

Que'er was frightened immediately, and froze in place, but still twitched and snorted.

Mallow raised her head to look at her, wiped the tears off her face again, and said

"Good Queer, my sister knows that His Highness has been with you since childhood, and you feel sorry for him, but you must not say anything to the Prince because of this. Your Highness is just because of a knot in your heart. His Highness Kuang looks similar to the previous one. Your Highness met your Highness. Thinking of the time and place, I was really sad, so I didn't want to read more, but after all, how can a brother of the same mother really not care, outsiders think that's all, if you follow His Royal Highness day and night, if you think so, so what should you do? .”

Que'er sniffed, remained silent and didn't speak, just lowered her head and looked at a flowerpot behind the door in a daze.

After Que'er went out with Mallow, there was no one else in the dormitory, the imperial doctor only said that typhoid fever had invaded, other things didn't matter, as long as the fever subsides first.

Ji Yi walked over and looked down at Ji Zhao, who was unconscious. It seemed that he had dreamed of something bad. He kept frowning and shaking uneasily. He didn't know what to say, and was sweating profusely. About very uncomfortable.

Ji Yi raised his head, looked at Ji Hui who was standing aside with a condensed expression, and said

"You are standing here, are you going to see when Yang Jing will be frozen to death, so you can be the first to offer incense?"

Ji Hui's face turned pale immediately, looking at Ji Yi, his expression became stiff, and he said angrily in a low voice

"What crazy words did His Royal Highness say? The one lying on the bed is your own younger brother, Prince!"
