Perhaps because of these words, Zhao Hongji actually smiled as brightly as a child, and he nodded happily in Wang Lexhang's arms: "Mother, you finally agreed, and I can finally stop being the prince."
Just as the undercurrent was rising in Wang Lexhang's mind, a maid in goose-yellow palace clothes quietly walked into the inner hall, lowered her hands and said respectfully: "Empress Liangdi, the imperial doctor has a few words to tell you. In addition, the prince's medicine has been boiled.
Okay, please come out of the palace."
After hearing these words, Wang Lexhang's slightly frowned brows gradually calmed down, and her dimples appeared in her round and pink face. She smiled and said, "Isn't it the Imperial Physician Xu who is here?"
The maid still lowered her head so deeply that even the bright candlelight in the inner palace of Chunling could not illuminate her face. She said in a low voice: "Yes, Imperial Physician Xu is here and said that she has important matters to discuss with the empress in detail.
"
Wang Lexhang's quiet eyes hurriedly passed over the maid's black hair, and then returned to Zhao Hongji's peaceful face. He gently leaned down and said quietly: "Hongji, I'll go out for a while, and you can rest first."
After saying that, Wang Leshang's emerald-white hands gently lifted up the golden soft curtains, and slowly got off the bed. Her jade-green double-breasted satin cotton coat perfectly highlighted her plump figure, and she raised her hand to hold the bright hair on her temples.
With the crystals and flowers hanging, Wang Lexhang slowly walked out of the palace.
Just as he was about to speak to the maid standing by, Zhao Hongji's clear voice suddenly came from behind him: "Le Shang!"
This sound shocked Wang Lexhang and he immediately turned away. He saw Zhao Hongji standing upright in the dazzling golden curtain illuminated by the glazed palace lantern, staring at him with piercing eyes.
Ever since Zhao Hongji became seriously ill, he always called Wang Lexhang his mother, and his thoughts were always in a trance.
Seeing that he suddenly became conscious and called out his name, Wang Lexhang was surprised and happy for a moment. He couldn't help but take three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly walked back to the bed. His white hands trembled and touched Zhao Hongji's slightly dark face.
However, his head dropped instantly, and the circles under his eyes turned slightly red at this moment. He choked and said, "Prince, Prince, you are finally getting better."
Feeling her slightly trembling hands, Zhao Hongji's heart surged for a moment. He suddenly put his arms around Wang Lexhang's shoulders, slowly pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "I, I have many things to say to you."
Lying on Zhao Hongji's broad shoulders, Wang Lexhang felt a tingling warmth spread over his body for a moment. He nodded obediently and buried his noodles into Zhao Hongji's shoulders again.
"Empress Liangdi, Doctor Xu is still waiting for you outside!" Just as the two of them were immersed in the unspeakable warmth, the calm voice of the maid who had not left the inner hall sounded softly.
Realizing that there was someone else around, Wang Lexhang's white cheeks couldn't help but turn crimson, and he said to Zhao Hongji in a low voice: "I'll go out to talk to Dr. Xu first, and I'll be back in a while."
Looking deeply at Zhao Hongji, Wang Lexhang couldn't help but be filled with joy and left a gentle kiss on his face before getting up and walking slowly towards the outer hall.
"You should also step aside." Wang Lexhang said gently to the maid standing beside him in goose-yellow palace clothes. Unexpectedly, the maid did not raise her head, but whispered: "Ms. Liangdi, the prince has not recovered from his serious illness. If there is no one to guard him,
I'm afraid..."
Hearing the worry that could not be hidden in her words, Wang Lexhang pondered in his heart and said softly: "You are a person who knows how to measure."
After a pause, Wang Lexhang turned around and smiled at Zhao Hongji, then moved his steps slightly and said in a low voice: "You will stand guard in front of the palace gate. If anything happens to the prince, come and report it immediately."
After saying that, Wang Lexhang walked towards the outer hall in a happy mood. Zhao Hongji's sudden good fortune made her eyes full of smiles.
When they came to the outer hall, there was no trace of Imperial Physician Xu. Wang Lexhang was greeted by a deserted emptiness.
The damp cold wind in the late winter of Lin'an blew through the gap between the closed vermilion-carved palace door and brushed against Wang Lexhang's white cheeks. The cold wind blew her up and she couldn't help but raise her hands to cover the smooth skin on her white cheeks, trying to use the softness to
The warmth in the palm of my hand drives away the sudden chill.
"Why isn't Imperial Physician Xu in the outer hall!?" Wang Lexhang thought quietly, with a hint of suspicion rising on his lips.
Thinking secretly, Wang Leshang was about to call his attendants to inquire carefully, but unexpectedly, when he turned away, the figure of Zhao Lixian suddenly jumped into Wang Leshang's quiet eyes.
The astonished Wang Lexhang could not help but step back, with a look of surprise on his pale cheeks. He put his hand on his heart to calm his mind. Wang Lexhang straightened his expression and said seriously: "Why are you in the East Palace!?"
Zhao Lixian walked slowly towards Wang Lexiang, his eyes gradually becoming blurred as the distance approached. Smelling the fragrance exuding from Wang Lexiang, Zhao Lixian couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke her green cloud-like fluffy black hair, and whispered softly
Said: "Don't you want to see me at all?"
As Zhao Lixian opened his clenched palms, a small and exquisite pink sachet suddenly stood in front of the two of them. His quiet eyes quietly brushed over the sachet's low tassels, and Wang Lexhang raised his long eyelashes lightly and said hesitantly:
"You still keep it."
A cold sadness flashed across Zhao Lixian's handsome face. He stared into Wang Lexhang's dark eyes and said quietly: "Although you have forgotten me, I still keep the sachet you gave me back then."
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Lixian suddenly burst out loudly: "If you fall in love with someone else, I have nothing to say. But why, why do you fall in love with my elder brother who is obsessed with power!"
"Shut up!" Wang Lexhang, who had always been gentle and quiet, snapped sharply, his chest rising and falling rapidly with her breathing, "Hongji is not that kind of person! If he is in his position, he will do his best! How can outsiders understand his difficulties?
!”
After a pause, Wang Lexhang's eyes were red and he lowered his voice: "You go, don't come to the East Palace again." After saying that, Wang Lexhang calmed down and was about to go to the inner hall.
Seeing that the woman he loved was about to leave his sight, Zhao Lixian suddenly became anxious. He stepped forward and squeezed Wang Lexhang's soft palm tightly, saying urgently: "I won't leave, and you are not allowed to leave! Le Shang, follow me and leave."
Well, a man like my elder brother is not worthy of your waiting!"
With a sad smile, Wang Lexhang gently turned away, his crystal eyes surrounded by rising mist of tears, and said softly: "It's not worth it? Second prince, come and tell me what is not worth it? In my early years, I was serving as a priest in Qinghui Palace.
What are you doing when I'm the tea maid, and you keep saying you love me? You haven't done anything."
Zhao Lixian was about to open his mouth to argue, but was shocked by Wang Leshang's solemn look. He stopped talking and just listened to her words lightly, "Later, Empress Wu asked me to serve the prince. At that time, I didn't hesitate. I
I was once a young lady from an official family, but now I have fallen to this level. What's more, at that time, I already had you in my heart, whom I loved." (To be continued)
