love concubine
Chapter 9: Assassinated
When I woke up the next morning, my whole body was hot and I had a headache.Dazedly, he probably heard the prince's angry voice, and when he opened his eyes, all he saw was red, it was very hard.I seemed to see that Lan was very worried. She kept comforting me by saying "it's all right" and told me to rest more.I don't understand what's going on.Is it just as Princess Renxiang was worried that someone poisoned me, a fake princess?
When I woke up, my body wasn't so hot anymore.The warm light of the autumn morning penetrated into the room, and I saw someone busy at the table outside the bed gauze.
"Lan... sister?"
She immediately turned her face and came over, hurriedly came to the bed and lifted the bed veil, "Young Master Ji!"
Lan helped me up and sat up straight against the head of the bed, "Young Master Ji! As long as you are fine! We are all worried about you!"
"……What happened?"
Her complexion changed suddenly, she hesitated to speak, and finally brought a bowl of medicinal soup from the table, "Come on, the doctor said that you should drink this as soon as you wake up."
Although I was a little concerned that Yilan didn't answer, I still obediently drank the bowl of medicine.
"What happened to me? Did someone poison the princess?!..."
Lan sat on the small chair next to the bed, "Ah, no! It's my son, you're sick and have a fever!" As she said that, she took a sweat towel and gently stamped it on my forehead.
"Fever?..." Then I thought about it, probably because I cried all night and slept against the cool wall, so I fell ill.
"Ah..." But Lan suddenly sighed, "I'm sorry for you, Mr. Ji..."
"Um?......"
"Young Master Ji, don't be too hard on yourself! The lord, he only did this because he missed His Highness the Princess...Don't you blame the lord?"
"Huh? What's wrong with the prince?..." Could it be that the prince did something stupid again during my illness?
"What...? It wasn't the night before yesterday... Mr. Ji, you just moved into the prince's bedroom, and you heard your call at night... Those guards also said that the princess was hugged tightly by the prince at that time. They couldn't move... They thought it was the prince and the princess who had a child, and they finally became a loving couple... But Aunt Mei and I both knew that Mr. Ji must be too beautiful! meeting……"
"What?!" I screamed out loud.This is a big misunderstanding! "It's not like this! Cough cough!..." I was so excited that I couldn't stop coughing.
"Ouch! Mr. Ji, let's have a cup of tea first! You just recovered from your illness!...Alas! I'm all to blame for being talkative! I didn't expect talking about this matter would make you excited...I'm sorry, drink quickly! ..."
I took the teacup and swallowed the tea, "No! Sister Lan! The prince really didn't treat me!...something..." I looked annoyed.
"Really?!" Lan frowned and pursed her lips, as if she didn't believe it.
"Yeah!" I smiled wryly and nodded vigorously.That prince is so serious, how could he have any unreasonable thoughts about me?Besides, I am the concubine of the princess!How could he be interested? !
"It's good that Mr. Ji is fine..." Lan took the teacup in my hand, and followed my back, "It's all because Aunt Mei said something strange that day. What did you say that Mr. Ji is easy to be spotted by men, and it hurts me. I'm worried for you, my lord! Really! Although I haven't seen the princess's appearance, but Mr. Ji is also very beautiful in women's clothes or men's clothes, there is no guarantee that men will not be attracted to you!"
"Thank you Sister Lan for worrying..." I smiled warmly.She had been staying by the princess's side before, and had no chance to know other people in the palace.Now that I can get to know Lan and Aunt Mei, I begin to feel less lonely in this palace.
Suddenly the door was opened, and he walked into the room wearing a dark blue robe.
"Xiaoxue!" As soon as he saw me sitting on the bed, he immediately sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to pat my forehead so hard that I couldn't help blinking in amazement.
"Wang... lord?"
"It's not that hot anymore," he murmured.Then he turned his face and asked Lan who had already stood up, "Did he drink the medicine the doctor ordered?"
"Go back to your lord, drink it all."
"Hmm." Then he looked at me again and didn't speak for a long time.
"My lord...?" In the end, he cared too much about me, so I had to speak first.
"They say you're sick."
"……Ok?"
"Get some rest."
"Hmm?" But he had already stood up, "Mmm... Kexue...I, I see..."
I lowered my head dimly, but suddenly a big hand gently rubbed the top of my hair.I looked up in astonishment, only to see a smile on his face as warm as the sun.He didn't speak, just soothed quietly for a moment, then turned and left.
One of my hearts seemed to be lifted to the sky by colorful clouds, but was captured by falcons.The sharp claws gripped my heart tightly.It was so painful that I couldn't breathe.
Lord...don't treat me so tenderly again...don't give me hopeless hope and let me sink in.
In the next few days, I put on a woman's robe according to General Cui's instructions, and continued to pretend to be a princess.In order to reduce mistakes, I usually hide in the prince's courtyard, help the nanny take care of the little prince, or enjoy flowers and tea, play the piano and read books by myself.
The prince is not at the house most of the time.When the princess was still there, the prince liked to go to Ye Rong Jing Pavilion for recreation, but he would definitely come back before dark.But in the past few days, the prince has not returned late at night.At night, after I finished coaxing the little prince to sleep, I watched the nanny carry the baby to the side room to rest, and then I slept on the spacious bed by myself.
Although I said it myself, I hope the prince can neglect me.But now he seems to avoid me, which only makes my heart more painful.
What am I thinking?
"My lord..." That night, I lay on the bed without him.
It would be fine if I hadn't met the prince.That way, I won't know what it's like to love someone, and I don't have to feel how painful it is to be in love with someone who can't be loved...
I sobbed silently, thinking I might as well let my tears drown me tonight.Does that mean... tears can drown people? ...how stupid I am...to dwell on such unimportant things! ...
Suddenly there was a crashing sound in the room.
"Who...?" I immediately wiped my tears and sat up.
But it was quiet all around, and the burning candle on the table seemed to be about to go out.The dim light of the fire reflected on the bronze mirror in the distance, shaking erratically.
Is it the nannies?Did Xiao Yuxuan wake up again?
I slowly got out of bed, wearing only a white undershirt, not even shoes, so I quietly peeked into the side room.But seeing the darkness in the room, the nanny and the little prince must have fallen asleep.
"Click."
"Who?!" I turned around sharply.There was a black figure in front of me. Before I could yell out, my mouth was covered by that person's hand.
"Don't be afraid!" he ordered softly, "I won't hurt you."
I immediately stood still obediently, and he slowly let go.
I looked up timidly, but the man in front of me was wearing a dark black military uniform, with dark red lines embroidered on his left shoulder, and a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
"Are you going to kill me?..." I backed away slowly until my body hit the cold wall.
"Brother," he called out suddenly, and Huo Di pulled down the cloth. "it's me!"
"Xiaoxi?!" I was so surprised that tears welled up in my eyes, "Xiaoxi!" It was him!I read that right!It's my brother!I flew into his arms and stroked my younger brother's face with trembling hands, to see if he had lost weight or been injured over the years. "You're fine! You're fine!" I was so happy that I could only cry.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I'm only here to get you out of this fucking place. If they know I'm here to see you, they'll not only kill me, they'll kill you too."
"They? Who are "them"?" Kill?What happened?Why kill?
"Let's go." Then he grabbed my wrist.
"Oh no!"
"Brother?!" The younger brother stopped in astonishment.
"I'm... doing some important things for the Cui family, and I can't leave yet. You tell me where you live now, I..."
"No. I can only take you away now. After you go out, I can't stay anymore. I have arranged a place for you to live in, and you can just wait for my money there."
"Money? What money? Why are you leaving again?" I became suspicious.I still remember when I separated from my brother five years ago, he was just a rural kid who knew nothing, let alone martial arts.But shouldn't the current palace be heavily guarded?Especially the prince's courtyard.How did my younger brother get in here? ! "Xiaoxi... what kind of job are you doing now?!"
"Brother! I don't have time to explain! Come with me!"
"You tell me clearly first!"
"Brother! Do you want to stay here as a male concubine for the rest of your life?!"
"you!......"
"I saw you crying! You don't like this place either?!"
"I..." It's not that I don't like it... but I like it too much... "Xiaoxi, I..."
"who?!"
We both looked back eagerly, but the prince suddenly appeared.
I saw him suddenly take off the saber hanging on the wall, and I was so shocked that I immediately protected my brother behind me, "No, my lord! He!..."
"Follow me!" My brother pulled me back again.
"You!..." I couldn't help but get angry at his stubbornness.
It was my younger brother who held me across the waist with one hand, and looked as if he wanted to carry me out of the window and escape. "wait!......"
The lord drew his sword and flew over, and blocked our way with a sword.
"Let go of him!" the prince shouted, and immediately put the horizontal sword on my brother's neck.
"Don't hurt him!" I blurted out.
The prince was puzzled, but suddenly something flickering flew towards him.I turned my face to look, only to realize that my younger brother stabbed the prince's vitals with a small knife.
"Don't hurt him!" I said again.
"Follow me!" "Let him go!" "I won't go!"
At this time, there was a commotion outside the house, probably because the guards outside finally heard the noise here.
"Hmph!" My brother snorted impatiently.Then I just felt myself being pushed so hard that I almost hit the edge of the table.Fortunately, the prince immediately took me into his arms, so I was not injured.
"Xiaoxue?!" When I returned to my senses and looked up at him, the prince looked worried.
"What about him?!" But my brother was nowhere to be seen in the room.
"My lord!" There was a loud sound of footsteps, and another group of guards stood in the room.
Among them, Lan with disheveled hair suddenly squeezed out. "Hey! Your Royal Highness!" She took off the princess' gauze dress from the screen and quickly put it on me. "His Royal Highness is shocked!"
That's when I realized I wasn't wearing a veil.My face must be recognized by the guards!I hurriedly grabbed Lan's arm and tried to hide in her arms.But I was suddenly hugged by someone, I was stunned, until that hand pressed my head on his chest, I realized that it was the prince who was protecting me.
"Still chasing?!" The prince roared angrily, and several guards trembled in horror.
"Yes!" The guards responded in unison, and hurriedly turned and left.
The room was quiet again, and the prince gently put me on the bed.
"Lan, it's none of your business here."
"But my lord..."
"Back off."
Lan frowned and looked at me worriedly. I comforted me with a wry smile, "I'm fine. Sister Lan, please come over early tomorrow?"
"The servant girl retreated first..."
When I woke up, my body wasn't so hot anymore.The warm light of the autumn morning penetrated into the room, and I saw someone busy at the table outside the bed gauze.
"Lan... sister?"
She immediately turned her face and came over, hurriedly came to the bed and lifted the bed veil, "Young Master Ji!"
