When Gu Mingheng hurried back to the East Palace with A Yu, he saw the emperor's bright yellow ceremonial guard and phoenix chariot stopped at the door.My heart sank, did I even startle Yu Jia?

Passing through the door of the sleeping hall, Gu Mingheng knelt down directly facing the two emperors and empresses who were sitting in the hall, "Father, empress Jin An, my son apologizes. This is my son's dereliction of duty for not taking good care of His Highness."

The bamboo green clothes fell to the ground, stained with dust.He buried his head very low, so that others could not see his expression clearly, but his back was straight, as if he was invincible.

Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, what happened to the crown prince, and now he is in a coma on the bed, and as the crown princess, he couldn't get away with it.So in any case, it was his dereliction of duty.

His voice fell, and there was no sound for a long time.Kneeling there motionless, without excuse, like a clay sculpture.

"Your Majesty, let Mingheng get up first, he has been running around for half a day..." After a long time, the queen's gentle voice of persuasion sounded in the hall.Gu Mingheng's brows and eyes covered by black hair showed a fleeting sarcasm, running around for half a day?

Sure enough, I heard the emperor snort coldly, "Just kneel first, since I can go out for half a day by myself, I don't mind kneeling for a while longer." After speaking, he got up and walked in.Lu Chengning, who had been given the needle, was lying on the bed, and all the imperial physicians were discussing his illness.

After both the emperor and empress left, Gu Mingheng breathed a sigh of relief, and just knelt down as a punishment. It seemed that Aning was fine.However, no matter in the last life or this life, I have never been punished to kneel, so is this a new experience?

I really want to thank the queen for her "persuasion".

After about three incense sticks, the chill on the floor soaked into the cracks in the bones through the thin clothing, and Gu Mingheng felt that his knees were about to lose consciousness.

At this time, a pair of black palace boots appeared in sight, and then he heard the voice of Jiang Yu, the chief executive beside the emperor, his voice was a little low, "Your Majesty sent you in, and His Highness has been talking about you in a coma."

Gu Mingheng froze for a moment, then slowly stood up, smiled gently at Jiang Yu, his expression remained unchanged from before, and then walked slowly into the bedroom.

Jiang Yu looked at Gu Mingheng's slightly unnatural footsteps, and sighed in his heart that this young master of the Gu family is really resilient, and he can still maintain such a mentality even after being punished in public.I thought about it and went in.

Incense was burning in the sleeping hall, Gu Mingheng lowered his eyes to hide the strange look in his eyes, and saluted respectfully towards the empress.There was no resentment or joy on his face, and there was no embarrassment or embarrassment.

"You go and stay with the prince." The queen ordered lightly, and then her tone became stricter, "Gu Mingheng, you have to remember that no matter what your identity and appearance were before you married into the East Palace, you must clearly know who you are. In your current position, you are the concubine, not the son of the Gu family. What you should do is to put the prince first! It is enough to make this mistake once, if there is another time, don't blame me Severely punished."

As he spoke, his tone slowed down, "Go, the prince will still miss you when he is in a coma, don't disappoint the prince's heart for you." After speaking, he sat down, and the tired silk inlaid treasure silver phoenix on his head swayed. There was a crisp crashing sound following her movements.

Gu Mingheng answered "Yes" respectfully, walked slowly to the prince's bed and stood still, looking at Lu Chengning silently.His lips moved slightly, and the shape of his mouth seemed to be calling "Aheng". At this moment, he seemed to be asleep, with a calm expression, but there were silver needles pierced on his hands and face.Seeing Gu Mingheng approaching, the imperial physicians on the side saluted silently.

An hour later, the imperial physician had already withdrawn the silver needles. Seeing that Lu Chengning was still awake, the emperor and empress ordered the imperial physician a few words and left first.

After the people in the hall left, Gu Mingheng's figure slowly relaxed. He first went to extinguish all the burning incense burners in the dormitory, and then opened the window to let in air. Finally, he leaned on the side of the bed a little tired, squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and looked at the room with worried eyes. Looking at the sleeping Lu Chengning, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah Zheng." After a long time, Gu Mingheng shouted.Ah Zheng, who was waiting at the door, heard his voice, entered the hall silently, and stood silently aside.

"What's going on?" Gu Mingheng's tone was very flat, and his eyes never left Lu Chengning who was lying on the bed.

"One hour after the young master left, His Highness got up. When I was dressing His Highness, His Highness said, 'Ah Heng is not here'. At first, I didn't pay attention. Later, during lunch, His Highness said the same thing, and I explained that Young Master was out. Went to the palace, Shen Shi returned to the palace, His Highness did not speak again after that."

"His Royal Highness was resting in the garden in the afternoon, and I went to help His Highness pick a flower. At this time, Madam Wu brought some tea for His Highness, and advised His Highness to eat some. His Highness did not eat. Mammy Wu wanted to feed His Highness a piece of cake, and this slave ran away. The past knocked it down."

Having said this, Ah Zheng's expression changed slightly, he paused and said, "Afterwards, His Highness suddenly rushed back to the dormitory like a madman, and his outer clothes fell to the ground. After returning to the dormitory, His Highness squatted in the corner of the dormitory tightly Grabbing his calf and screaming loudly, it lasted for nearly a stick of incense.

During this period, the slave found the imperial physician and sent someone to inform the son.Later, I don't know why the Queen learned about it, and came here with His Majesty.In the end, it was helpless, and several imperial physicians forcibly tied up His Highness, and used acupuncture to make His Highness unconscious before further diagnosis and treatment. "

He recalled speaking with lingering fear.The prince is usually no different from ordinary people except that he doesn't like to talk, but suddenly he screamed like crazy, the scene was really scary.No wonder the servants of the East Palace always had an unnatural expression on their faces, even frightened, whenever they mentioned the prince's illness.

Gu Mingheng lifted a corner of the quilt, and saw that there was a deep half-moon-shaped fingerprint on Lu Chengning's calf, and the medicine had already been applied, but he could still imagine the bloody flesh at that time, and he could also speculate how much strength Lu Chengning had used to hurt himself.Closing his eyes tiredly, Gu Mingheng opened his eyes after a long time and asked, "How about that plate of dim sum?"

Ah Zheng said in a low voice, "I hid a whole piece of dim sum in my bosom, and no one noticed."

"Well, keep it well, it's still useful. You go and find Wu Mama." After Ah Zheng exited the bedroom, Gu Mingheng turned around and held Lu Chengning, looking at his peaceful sleeping face.

Aning, are you looking for me?I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me.He rubbed Lu Chengning's hand, with obvious astringency in his eyes.I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone in the Eastern Palace, it was my fault, and I will never do it again...

There was the sound of Ah Zheng's footsteps outside the door, Gu Mingheng let go of Lu Chengning's hand and stood up, his eyes were already tinged with coldness.The bamboo green clothes on his body have not been changed, and he looks a little fierce.Walking outside, Gu Mingheng sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression.

Nanny Wu knelt in front of him, and Gu Mingheng asked directly, "What did you feed His Highness?" He stared coldly at Nanny Wu who was kneeling on the ground, as sharp as a knife.There must be something that made Aning feel the danger, otherwise he wouldn't suddenly go crazy.

If it's just that you can't find yourself, Aning will just squat in silence at worst, but this time, it's obviously not just that simple.

In his last life, he had been with Lu Chengning for more than ten years, and he was able to understand some of the laws of his emotional changes.I thought I was only going out for half a day, and I made it clear to Ah Ning, but I didn't expect something to happen.

"The servant just made His Royal Highness's favorite cakes for His Highness to eat. His Highness has eaten it before, and there is no problem. You can't wrong the servant, Crown Princess!" She lay on her knees, her voice full of grievances, and crying.

Gu Mingheng felt very tired and didn't want to talk to her, "Aside from Ah Zheng, you were the only one who approached His Highness today. Let me ask you again, what exactly did you put in the pastry you gave His Highness?"

Seeing that Nanny Wu still wanted to cry, Gu Mingheng interrupted him directly, "Don't make me ask a third time."

Grandma Wu stopped her mouth, her eyes turned red, and her voice lowered, "Master wants this servant to die, and I'm afraid this servant will not be able to live. But this servant has been feeding His Highness since he was still a baby, and has been treating His Highness sincerely." Seriously. If you are determined to say that the servant has harmed His Highness, Crown Princess, then the servant will have to die to prove his innocence."

He said with an extremely sad expression, "Your Highness has gone mad this time because of your negligence, the Crown Princess. After I leave, I hope that you will treat the Crown Prince well. In this way, the servant..."

Before she finished speaking, a teacup was smashed in front of her.Raising her head suddenly, she saw Gu Mingheng looking at her with a face full of frost. When she met this gaze, she felt a chill in her heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

"Come here." Gu Mingheng's voice was low, and the servant waiting at the door heard the sound and entered the hall, lowering his head and waiting for the order.

"Drag out, die with a stick." Gu Mingheng said calmly without looking at Nanny Wu again.

The word "stick death" exploded in her ears like thunder, and Madam Wu screamed sharply, "Why do you want to kill me! I am the prince's nurse! You can't!" She looked at Gu Mingheng full of tears. With the killing intent in his eyes, he was really scared in his heart.The queen is not here, even if she got the news, it must be too late to save herself!For a moment, she was full of despair.

Thinking of this, Nanny Wu screamed loudly while struggling hard.

Gu Mingheng turned a deaf ear to her screaming, and ordered again, "Gag her mouth and drag her out." The next moment, her ears became quiet, and only her voice of "吚吚吹咚" could be heard.The burly palace attendant tied her up with a rope and dragged her towards the outside of the palace.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" A Zheng suddenly knelt down and saluted. Gu Mingheng looked over and saw Lu Chengning standing there in a thin undershirt. His small face was pale, and his eyes looked even darker without a trace of light.

"Ah Ning, Ah Heng is back." Gu Mingheng smiled subconsciously, and wanted to go over and hold his hand, but Lu Chengning ignored him, and walked in the direction of Nanny Wu.

When Grandma Wu saw the prince walking towards her, the humming sound became louder, and her limbs struggled non-stop.When the palace attendant saw the prince coming, he also subconsciously let go of Wu Nanny's hand.

Lu Chengning looked at Madam Wu who was bound, and reached out to take off the white cloth covering her mouth, but he hesitated again when he touched the white cloth.He turned around and looked at Gu Mingheng who was standing behind him. At this time, Gu Mingheng was watching his movements expressionlessly, with his lips tightly pressed together, neither speaking nor showing any expression.

Lu Chengning stood there for a long time, then suddenly said, "Let her go." He looked straight at Gu Mingheng, not like asking, but more like an order.

The palace servant who was holding Nanny Wu looked at each other, and then untied the rope, but did not take off the white cloth gag.The atmosphere between the prince and the princess was a bit weird, they were all a bit uncertain, and they didn't know who to listen to.

Gu Mingheng stood silently on the spot and looked at Lu Chengning, with a calm expression, no one knew what he was thinking.Looking at Lu Chengning for a long time, Gu Mingheng finally seemed to compromise, and said in a flat voice, "Follow the prince's order, let her go."

After speaking, he bypassed Lu Chengning and Madam Wu, and walked out of the hall directly.

Ah Zheng followed behind him, looking at his desolate back, he said worriedly, "Master..."

"I'm fine." Gu Mingheng interrupted him without emotion.After walking a few more steps, he suddenly stopped without turning around, as if he was talking to himself, "Maybe I was really wrong, just like what the queen said, since I married into the East Palace, I am no longer the ninth son of the Gu family." Gu Mingheng, I'm just the princess, that's all."

He said with a mocking laugh, "Hehe, Crown Princess? Crown Princess..."
