The reborn prince is hard to raise

When the heavy snow finally stopped, it was already a few days later.The warm winter sun shone down on the imperial city, as if the whole world had become clear.The icicles hanging from the cornices reflect the colorful lights, and the melted snow water flows along the road, and the evaporated water leaves traces of wetness.Countless palace people began to sweep the snow early, and the rustling sound could be heard far away.

It was very cold when the snow melted, and there was still a chill in the air.After walking out of the palace gate, Gu Mingheng touched Lu Chengning's hand with some uneasiness, feeling the warmth of his palm, and then pulled him into the car.After the two sat down, the prince drove to Fengyi Palace.

All the way, the wheels printed dark traces on the avenue and meandered away.

Fengyi Palace.

Nanny Wu was wearing light brown clothes and was kneeling on the ground with her head buried low.Only Aunt A Jing was left in the palace to wait on her, and the rest of the palace servants were waiting outside, waiting for orders.

There is a faint smoke coming out of the lacquered incense burner, making the whole bedroom feel as warm as spring.

"I don't know if the princess found something. On the second day after entering the palace, she said that she was uncomfortable with the incense, and directly removed the incense burners in the entire East Palace." Madam Wu said in a low voice with humble and slight hatred. Come down, "The servant girl saw that the medicine was not supported by the incense, and the effect was reduced a lot, or..."

"Stop talking." The queen interrupted her lightly, with the majesty of a superior.As soon as the words fell, Madam Wu's body trembled, and her plump body crawled down a little more.

Xu Qiwu took a sip of the floral dew contained in the white porcelain cup, and slightly raised the ends of his brows that had been outlined with black powder, looking from the side, his eyes were a bit sharp.She glanced at Nanny Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with displeasure, "You can't do this well, what use does this Palace want you for?" The shadow of the curtain in the hall fell on her face, making her His eyes were dimmed.

As he said that, he threw the lid of the cup in his hand viciously, and it hit Nanny Wu's arm, and then he heard a muffled groan, and then there was no sound.

"Can't get into the prince's body for three months?" Xu Qiwu's fingers wearing agate-inlaid jade armor slowly stroked the wall of the cup, and his tone was slow. It was a gentle sentence, but it made Madam Wu tremble. stand up.

"My lord, please be kind! This servant will definitely go to His Highness's side, as long as the Crown Princess..." She said anxiously, her body was like sifting chaff, and big drops of cold sweat fell down. Too scared.

"Crown princess? No matter how you say it, you just can't get close to the prince, can you?" Xu Qiwu's long eyebrows and eyelashes fell down, casting a large shadow in front of his eyes, "It's just that I believe you."

"Mother..." Mama Wu pleaded, she didn't dare to raise her head, the place on her arm where the cup lid hit her was painful, but she didn't dare to move either.She clearly understood that the one sitting in front of her was not a benevolent Lord, if she made another mistake, she would not be able to get out of Fengyi Palace.

She didn't want to die in Fengyi Palace, she didn't want to die in this eerie palace!

Now there are still people in the Eastern Palace who can instruct the earthquake, and I haven't completely lost the opportunity to get close to the prince, so I must gain the queen's trust again!On the other hand, it will take a lot of time to train someone to be by the prince's side and make the prince trust it. The queen should not give up easily.

Thinking of this, her dejected expression suddenly became bright again, and her body that had been trembling because of fear gradually calmed down, as if her whole heart had stabilized.

Aunt A Jing stood aside with her eyebrows lowered, her figure obscured by the curtain.Seeing Nanny Wu's appearance, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled mockingly. Although the queen was looking for someone who was easy to control when she was selecting candidates, now it seems that this Nanny Wu seems to be too stupid.

Her life is in the queen's hands, and she is not the only one available to the queen.

"How long has it been since the crown prince took the medicine?" After a moment of silence, the queen asked suddenly, with a careless taste.She gracefully sipped the flower dew with her sideways body. She was dressed in a luxurious dress, and her flying fairy bun carried a domineering aura.

"Before the Crown Princess entered the palace, she took it every three days according to the time, but after the Crown Princess entered the palace, she took full control of His Highness's food, so the medicine was only taken twice in the past three months. I coaxed the prince to take it when I was on the side." Wu Mama replied meticulously, and did not forget to ask for credit at the end.There was a humble smile on her face, which distorted her face a little.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the queen didn't respond, she carefully glanced at Aunt Ajing, who had lowered her eyebrows and had no expression on her eyes, feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty asked, did the Crown Princess find any traces?" There was silence in the room for a while, Aunt A Jing looked at the Empress's closed eyes and rested her mind, and asked in a low voice.

"The maidservant was very careful, and no one must have noticed any traces." Madam Wu said hastily.It was her goddaughter who made the medicine all the time, and she kept lying to her that it was a folk remedy for the prince's body. That simple girl has never doubted it so far.

"The prince and concubine will come to say hello soon, so you can follow suit." The queen opened her eyes and said to Ah Jing, "Ah Jing, prepare the medicinal tea first, and let Madam Wu take care of it later." Bring it to the prince."

After a pause, she told Nanny Wu with a somewhat cold tone, "Remember, you must watch the prince drink it, otherwise, you will know the consequences." Afterwards, as if tired, he got up and went into the screen after speaking.Aunt A Jing followed quickly, ignoring Nanny Wu.

In the empty room, Nanny Wu straightened up slowly, her face was covered with sweat, her lips were pale, as if she had suffered from a serious illness.

She fell to the ground, rubbed her knees, and carefully thumped her legs, talking to herself in an inaudible voice, "What a vicious woman..." Looking closely at her expression at this time, it was like It's like a different person in an instant.

Gu Mingheng took Lu Chengning's hand and followed the palace attendant who led the way into the Fengyi Palace. He saw the queen sitting on the phoenix seat, wearing a phoenix pattern on her head, inlaid with glass beads, trembling with golden steps, and dressed in Luo Ruluanhua. Clothes, when they saw the two entering the hall, they smiled.

"Mother Jin'an." Gu Mingheng stretched out his sleeves and saluted with a respectful tone.Lu Chengning stood aside and watched without any reaction.She must have gotten used to Lu Chengning's appearance, the queen's expression didn't change, she said in a gentle voice, "Ming Heng, get up, it's hard for you to brave the severe cold to come here to say hello."

As he spoke, he asked the palace attendant to set up a chair pier seven steps away from the phoenix seat, with a friendly expression on his face.

At this time, Gu Mingheng paused when he glanced at the servant next to the empress. The empress had been paying attention to his expression, and saw that his expression had changed, so she explained, "Today, I was a little worried about whether the prince is okay on weekdays, so I called I asked Nanny Wu to inquire. Knowing that Mingheng took good care of the prince, I feel ashamed as a mother."

"The queen mother rules the six palaces, is in charge of the Phoenix seal, and also worries about the affairs of the inner court. It is human nature to be unable to take care of them. Besides, it is the duty of the sons and ministers to share the worries for the queen mother." Gu Mingheng's tone was sincere and slightly worried Said calmly, "The ministers and His Royal Highness are both worried about whether the empress's body will be healthy, and the inner court affairs are complicated, and the empress must take care of her."

"The prince and Mingheng still have filial piety." Xu Qiwu smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered, "Present a share of the flower dew obtained a few days ago to the prince and the princess." Turning his eyes to Gu Mingheng again, "Some time ago For the tribute from the south, His Majesty sent them directly to Fengyi Palace, although the taste is very good, but this palace can’t use up so much, I think if you like it, you can bring some back to the East Palace.”

After a while, maids in the palace filed in. Madam Wu went up to pick up a tray, put it in front of the prince, and said kindly, "Your Highness, please taste." With a gentle and loving smile.

Lu Chengning glanced at the cup she was holding, then stared straight into her eyes, as if he was exploring something.

Grandma Wu was a little flustered by his emotionless eyes, and always felt that he was trying to see through herself.

"Your Highness, the dew tastes very good, do you want to try it?" Sensing a cold gaze on her body, Mother Wu asked again.Lu Chengning paused for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand, but just as he was about to touch the rim of the cup, he retracted it.He looked at Nanny Wu's trembling hands, his eyes were dark, like the night sky, and seemed to be able to absorb all the whirlpools.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Nanny Wu raised her head and was about to speak when she suddenly met Lu Chengning's icy gaze, her heart was shocked for a moment, her hand couldn't help but let go, the entire tray fell to the ground, and the teacup shattered. Huge sound.

She reacted almost immediately, and knelt down straight to plead guilty.His forehead was stuck on the ground, but Lu Chengning's cold and lifeless eyes still appeared in front of his eyes, and he swallowed unconsciously in fear.

That's not the look a person would have at all!

"Damn the maidservant! You disturbed the empress, His Highness and the Crown Princess, damn the servant!" Her voice was extremely frightened, and she hit her head on the ground as she spoke, making a low "bang bang" sound.

Gu Mingheng ignored it. Although Nanny Wu was from the East Palace, he still couldn't speak in Fengyi Palace.On the other hand, Lu Chengning stared dazedly at Madam Wu who kept kowtowing, his expression was expressionless, he didn't know what he was thinking, or his thoughts were no longer here.

"Get up." Seeing that there was blood on her forehead, the queen said lightly.Her tone of voice couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, "Go back to the East Palace by yourself and take good care of me. If something like this happens again, I'll just stick to death."

Grandma Wu hurriedly agreed, thanked her loudly, then kowtowed to Lu Chengning and Gu Mingheng on her knees, and carefully exited the bedroom.

Gu Mingheng looked at the back of Nanny Wu as she retreated, and glanced at the dew spilled on the ground from the corner of her eye, her eyes were unpredictable.

When he came out of Fengyi Palace, instead of directly getting into the prince's car, Gu Mingheng led Lu Chengning to the garden in the north of the inner court.He was followed by A Zheng and A Yu, and the rest of the palace servants followed five steps away.

"Go back and send someone to watch her. If you have anything to do, you must report it immediately." Walking on the wide avenue, Gu Mingheng ordered.There was thought in his expression, it seemed that this trip to Fengyi Palace was not fruitless, but he had to ponder it carefully.

He always felt that these were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"Young master suspects..." Before Ah Yu finished speaking, he was pulled by the sleeve of Ah Zheng on the side, so he stopped for a moment.The view on the avenue is wide, although the whispers of a few people cannot be heard clearly by others, but it is still necessary to be on the safe side.

A Yu lowered her head and answered "Yes", "she" naturally refers to Madam Wu. When the young master entered the palace early, he forcefully sent her to the outer edge of the East Palace. Could it be that the young master had already discovered something was wrong at that time? out of place?

But why are you acting now?

"I didn't suspect her at the beginning." Gu Mingheng explained briefly as if he knew what he was thinking, and then said, "The two of you will be responsible for the prince's food in the future, and no mistakes can be made. The rest For the time being, the palace servants don't need to win over, the dining room should hurry up, no matter what method they use, they can't allow people to take advantage of the opportunity to tamper with the food."

This is what Gu Mingheng has always suspected. Lu Chengning's mental state and physical condition have not been very good. On the one hand, it is due to his own reasons, and on the other hand, whether it is because he was tampered with.

At least after removing all the incense burners in the East Palace and watching his food, his mental state is much better than when he entered the palace.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingheng's eyes darkened, no matter what, these nails and hidden dangers buried in the East Palace must be eradicated one by one.

At this time, his aura carried a faint killing intent, Lu Chengning raised his head as if aware of it, and looked at Gu Mingheng, his eyes were calm and calm.

Jiangnan Xie Mansion.

Light snow and early sunshine, the cold pool is shallow, with dead branches stuck in the mud protruding from the water, and the water's edge is full of withered grass stained with frost.

In the gazebo in the middle of the lake, a young man in a lotus-colored coat and a satin embroidered cloak was looking intently at the inscription.He looks about eleven or twelve years old, with a thin body, but he has the posture of a strong bamboo facing the wind.His brows and eyes are light, he is still young, and he already has the appearance of a bright moon.

"My lord, a letter from Beijing." A servant outside the pavilion handed over the letter.He put down the pen in his hand and wiped his hands with the soaked satin. His slender fingers were very pleasing to the eye against the lavender satin.

He took the letter and unfolded it, read it carefully, and then handed it back to the waiter.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he ordered, "Pack up your bags and go to Beijing in seven days." His voice was filled with warmth, like birds singing and flowers blooming, and spring came early.
