Chapter 97: Stabbing the nest of sick seedlings
When Xue Qingyin was pushed down on the bed, she instinctively raised her hand to grab the bed curtain.
There was a "pop" sound.
The glass hook hanging on it fell to the ground.
Xue Qingyin thought vaguely in her mind that it would take a lot of money for the two of them to do something...
Last time she broke the jade pendant around King Xuan's waist.
This time the glass hook was broken again.
He Songning didn't say anything wrong.
She has a bit of a prodigal talent.
As soon as Xue Qingyin thought of this, King Xuan grabbed her by the back of the neck.
He kissed her again, fiercely.
It seemed to be punishing her for not paying attention.
She pulled away from her thoughts and placed her palms under him.
King Xuan froze for a moment.
At that moment, his gaze on her became more aggressive.
The person who is both good and fun-loving is Xue Qingyin.
She didn’t know how much time had passed. She raised her eyes and stared at King Xuan’s face. She couldn’t hold back any longer. She quickly withdrew her hand and said angrily: “It’s sour. I was always willing to help others, but why did it end up hurting me?”
?”
She struggled and tried to run away.
However, King Xuan pressed it tighter and replaced it with something else.
The unlucky Du Hongxue's legs were almost numb standing outside.
Finally, the door opened.
It was Xue Qingyin who walked in front first.
After taking only two steps, she staggered. King Xuan immediately reached out his hand from behind and put his arm on her waist.
Du Hongxue, an innocent young man, looked at Xue Qingyin and didn't see anything special. He only felt that the Xue family girl's hair was a little messy.
King Xuan raised his hand and inserted the hairpin again for Xue Qingyin.
Du Hongxue thought to herself: Your Highness was just playing with someone inside, pulling out hairpins?
At this time, King Xuan looked at Du Hongxue and asked: "What's the matter?"
Du Hongxue suddenly became serious and glanced at Xue Qingyin hesitantly.
King Xuan said in a deep voice: "Say it."
Xue Qingyin said in her heart that I didn't have to listen. But she was too lazy to move, so she just stood there and listened together.
Du Hongxue said: "Urgent report to Beijing...the Anxi army is in big trouble. Xu Hao, the imperial censor who went to comfort him, has been kidnapped."
Xue Qingyin secretly said that it sounded like an army mutiny somewhere.
But it shouldn't be. Now is the time of peace and prosperity. How could such a chaos happen to such a good person?
Xue Qingyin turned her eyes to look at King Xuan's face, but saw that his expression did not change, as if he was not surprised at all.
Du Hongxue couldn't help but said: "If this matter had been handed over to His Highness a long time ago, it would not have developed to the point it is today. But His Majesty handed it over to someone else to deal with it. Civil servants and military generals are not harmonious. Xu Hao's departure, isn't it?
To add fuel to the fire?"
King Xuan made an understatement: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise? Don't worry about this matter."
Du Hongxue responded in a muffled voice: "Yes. Your Highness, this is..."
King Xuan said: "You don't have to wait to enter the palace today."
Du Hongxue saluted accordingly and stepped aside to make way for them.
After a short conversation, Xue Qingyin felt vaguely in her heart that King Xuan should also be a man of some means. He was not a "reckless man" who only knew how to march and fight.
Why did such a person choose to die on his own in the original novel?
Was it because he discovered that he was not the emperor's biological son? That shouldn't be the case. The original work clearly stated that after he discovered his life experience, he began to fight for power with He Songning.
If you have the desire to fight, why do you still rush into death without looking back?
Xue Qingyin couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to stop thinking about it.
…
King Xuan called Gong'e to comb Xue Qingyin's hair again, and then they went to the palace together.
The East Palace is located to the east of Taiji Palace. The road leading to the East Palace becomes more and more desolate as we walk.
Xue Qingyin hurriedly pressed closer to King Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Why is it so quiet?"
King Xuan explained: "The prince is recuperating from illness and likes to be quiet."
Recuperate from illness.
Xue Qingyin thought to herself that no wonder such a person was hardly mentioned in the original work.
Seeing that they were about to reach the East Palace, King Xuan's voice sounded softly, and he said: "The prince's mother is my aunt."
Xue Qingyin reacted immediately.
It turns out that the emperor married both sisters?
"My biological mother died very early, and she was raised by my aunt, the late Queen. A few years later, she also died of illness, and I stayed in the Queen Mother's Palace for another two years." King Xuan said calmly.
Narrating his past.
Xue Qingyin opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
She knows best what it's like to be without a mother's love.
It was only after she came to this dynasty that she had a mother like Mrs. Xue.
She quietly hooked King Xuan's finger.
King Xuan paused, then held her hand harder.
"The late Queen only had two children in her life. The first one died when he was less than two years old, and the second one is the current Crown Prince."
Xue Qingyin thought to herself, then this prince is the only Miaomiao left by the late queen. The significance of this is naturally extraordinary!
"My late empress has a thoughtful nature and is not suitable to sit in the queen's position. However, within ten years, she was exhausted. When she was seriously ill, she could not even get out of bed. Even so, she still treated me as her own child.
Do everything yourself.”
Hearing this, Xue Qingyin couldn't help but picture an image of a thin but tough woman in her mind.
That means cultivating kindness is better than giving birth to kindness. She thought.
"The prince was four years older than me at that time, and the late queen treated me more than she treated her own children."
When Xue Qingyin heard this, she felt something was wrong.
She couldn't help but whispered: "Then Prince..." Does she think her mother is partial?
Will he be jealous of you?
Just thinking that this was already the boundary of the East Palace, Xue Qingyin swallowed back the second half of the sentence.
For some reason, Xue Qingyin's mood became not so good.
She always felt that the family affection in the palace was weird and twisted.
Listening to King Xuan's explanation, although his biological mother died young, his aunt treated him very well. But this kind of kindness made Xue Qingyin feel depressed inexplicably.
Maybe it was her illusion?
"His Royal Highness King Xuan." The palace attendants in the East Palace saw them and bowed from a distance.
King Xuan didn't talk about the past anymore, he just still held Xue Qingyin's hand and didn't let go.
Seeing this, the palace attendants in the East Palace only looked at it one more time, then lowered their eyes and led them inside.
People here behave in a well-behaved manner, speak softly, and even the sound of walking is almost silent.
It was too quiet.
Xue Qingyin couldn't bear it, so she took the initiative to ask King Xuan: "Has the prince married a wife?"
It was the palace man on the side who answered.
The palace attendant on the side said sternly: "The Crown Princess is unwell and should not meet guests."
That means having a wife.
It sounds like the prince's wife is not in good health either.
Xue Qingyin counted it with her fingers and thought it was quite funny.
Princess Wei had just been seriously ill before getting married, and the Crown Princess was also unwell, and she was not much better.
Stabbed the sick young man in the nest, right?
"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has come to see you." The palace attendant stopped outside a heavy palace door and whispered.
But King Xuan suddenly corrected her: "There is also my wife."
Huh?
Xue Qingyin looked back at him in surprise.
Can you say that?
The palace attendant also showed a look of astonishment, but she obviously did not dare to disobey King Xuan, so she hesitated for a moment and changed her words: "Your Highness, King Xuan and his new wife have come to see you."
The door suddenly opened from the inside.
The light inside was dim, and there was a strong smell of medicine and old wood mixed with it.
Xue Qingyin held her breath and squinted her eyes for a moment, only to vaguely see a human figure sitting on a chair.
