"Go faster." Xia Qing kept urging the little eunuch who was carrying the carriage, making their pace speed up again and again, and finally arrived at Kunning Palace behind a stick of incense.
Before the carriage stopped, Xia Qing could not wait to get off. Cuizhu quickly supported her and said, "Master, be careful."
Because Xia Qing and Xianyue have a very good relationship, they can go in directly without any communication. She does not go to see Xianyue and goes straight to Yongcang's residence. As soon as she reaches the door, she hears exclamations coming from inside.
, this voice is very much like that of He Jia. Could it be that...she came a step too late and He Jia was already in danger?
Thinking of this, she panicked. She pushed open the vermilion four-sided flower door and walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw Yong Cang holding a three-foot-long sword in his hand, and He
Jia fell at his feet, looking quite painful. Next to him, there was also a long sword.
Seeing this scene, Xia Qing was shocked. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Hejia up and said in a panic: "Hejia! Hejia! How are you? Don't scare me!"
"Auntie, don't worry, Hejia..." Yongxun stepped forward to explain, but before he could finish speaking, Xia Qing had already raised her hand and slapped him in the face, and shouted: "You killed Yongxuan.
It's not enough, you even want to hurt He Jia. If there is anything wrong with He Jia, I will never let you go!"
Yongxun was beaten until he was stunned. Ever since he was sensible, Xia Qing and Mrs. Hu loved him very much. No matter what was delicious or useful, they would remember to leave a portion for him, so for them, he
She has always called her aunt, but she never expected that Xia Qing would actually hit him!
He Jia was also frightened by Xia Qing's actions. It took him a while to come back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Mother, why do you want to hit Brother Twelve if you are so good?"
Xia Qing ignored her words, but looked at her nervously and said: "Tell E Niang quickly, where are you injured, is it serious?" After saying that, she said to Cuizhu who was standing aside: "Go and call the imperial doctor immediately.
Come."
He Jia was confused by what she said and said doubtfully: "Eniang, what are you talking about? I am not injured."
"No?" Xia Qing pulled her up and looked at her carefully. She found that He Jia was not injured anywhere. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If nothing happened, why are you lying on the ground? It scared E Niang."
Datiao, and what’s going on with this sword? What if it’s really hurt?”
He Jia picked up the sword on the ground and handed it to Xia Qing, "Eniang, look, this is a wooden sword. It can't hurt anyone at all. As for just now..." She stuck out her pink tongue and said, "Er Chen is with me.
Brother Twelve was joking around. I didn’t expect you, Eniang, to come in suddenly and beat Brother Twelve inexplicably.” When she said this, she puffed up her cheeks and became very angry. Although Yong Cang and she were not the same mother,
Compatriot, but in terms of feelings, he is no worse than Yongxuan.
After she said this, Xia Qing realized that both the sword on the ground and the sword in Yong Cang's hand were made of wood and were not real swords. Just now, she was so preoccupied with He Jia's safety that she didn't bother to take a closer look at this.
, thinking that Yongzhuang stabbed Hejia with a sword.
Thinking like this, she walked up to Yongxu and tried to soften her tone and said: "It was my aunt who was doing something wrong just now. I thought..." She smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry with your aunt."
Yongxun lowered his head and said: "Yongxun understands, aunt, don't worry, Yongxun will only protect Hejia well and will never hurt her at all. As for Brother Eleven..."
"You can't be blamed for what happened to Yongxuan. It was Wende and the others who were so crazy that they dared to harm even the current prince. I believe that even if it happened all over again, Yongxuan..." She suppressed the severe pain in her chest and said: "
I will still save you without hesitation!"
Recalling the way Yongxuan stopped breathing in front of him, Yongxuan's voice was choked with sobs, "I... I'm sorry for Brother Eleven, I'm sorry for my aunt; if possible, I would rather that the person who gets into trouble is me!"
Xia Qing stroked his shoulder and said warmly: "What a silly boy. If something happens to you, what will the Queen do? You have to live well and live with Yongxuan's share."
"Yes." Yongxun nodded movedly, not seeing the coldness in Xia Qing's eyes, and not knowing that everything... had changed.
Xia Qing looked at his red and swollen cheeks and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"
Yongxun quickly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, the pain has stopped a long time ago."
Xia Qing nodded and said: "It's okay. It's all my fault for being reckless and hitting you without seeing clearly. This matter..." She said with a worried look on her face: "I don't know how to explain it to the Queen. I hope
Don’t misunderstand her.”
Yongxun had no doubt about it and said: "As long as I don't say it and my aunt doesn't say it, the emperor will naturally not misunderstand her."
Xia Qing said so much just to wait for his words, pretending to be surprised: "Are you willing to keep this secret for me?"
Yongxun nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I don't want my aunt and Huang's mother to get into trouble because of this trivial matter."
Xia Qing said with a moved face: "It's rare that you are so sensible. Okay, my aunt will take note of it."
After talking to Yongzhu for a few more words, Xia Qing took Hejia back to Yonghe Palace. As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she sent everyone except Cuizhu out, then looked at Hejia and said: "
Why did you suddenly go to Kunning Palace?"
He Jia was playing with a hand-sized little rabbit carved out of wood. Yong Cang made it for her personally. She didn't hear Xia Qing's words clearly and asked casually: "What did you say, E Niang?"
He Jia's appearance made Xia Qing feel angry. She snatched the rabbit from He Jia's hand and said coldly: "I asked you why you went to Kunning Palace without saying a word?"
He Jia was stunned by her move and muttered: "My son was bored in the house, so he went to play with Brother Twelve for a while. It was like this before." As she said that, she reached out to get the rabbit back.
Reluctantly, Xia Qing did not give it to her. Instead, she yelled, "The past was before, and the present is now. You are not allowed to see Brother Twelve alone in the future."
This sentence aroused He Jia's dissatisfaction, "Why?"
Xia Qing couldn't explain anything to her, so she just said: "Anyway, just don't go anymore."
He Jia said angrily: "Eniang was so unreasonable today. First she slapped Brother Twelve indiscriminately, and now she doesn't allow Er Chen to see Brother Twelve. Er Chen doesn't want it!"
Xia Qing said displeasedly: "Don't you even listen to my mother-in-law now?"
He Jia said stubbornly: "If what E Niang said makes sense, I will definitely listen to you, but now... I can't understand why!"
"You...cough cough cough!" Xia Qing was about to scold when she suddenly coughed violently. Cuizhu quickly rubbed her back to calm her down. Although He Jia was a little unhappy because of Xia Qing's words, they were her biological mother and daughter after all.
Seeing Xia Qing's ugly cough, she couldn't bear to be angry, so she and Cuizhu hurriedly stroked her back. After Xia Qing stopped coughing, she asked nervously: "Why is E Niang coughing so violently all of a sudden?
