After the nanny left, the two strong men couldn't bear to look at the woman kneeling in the snow -
What's more, this is a pregnant woman.
One of them offered good advice: "Princess, the nanny is the prince's confidant and the most important person. You should follow the nanny's wishes and leave the regent's palace as soon as possible, right?"
As soon as He Yanyan closed her eyes, tears flowed down: "Then the child in my womb will be born without a father?"
"Although no bones have been seen, it is basically a certainty that the prince will die in battle, so why do you insist?"
He Yanyan didn't know either.
Does she love that man?
Maybe.
At least in the four years since they got married, this man has been very considerate to me. Even when he went to meet the Holy Emperor, he never let himself suffer in front of other concubines, and even angered the imperial concubine.
But she had already had her heart set on someone since she was a child. If her father hadn't insisted on marrying her, she would still be waiting for that young master now.
He Yanyan nodded and smiled: "Thank you, your kindness today will be rewarded for you."
The two men took He Yanyan there for half an hour, waiting for the lights to go out in the main courtyard before leaving. But before leaving, no one dared to untie the rope around He Yanyan's body. She just knelt in the snow, her body covered with snow.
Heavy snowfall.
Her mouth was blue from the cold and she couldn't move her hands. In order to prevent the child from getting cold, she kept kneeling and avoided sitting on the cold ground. Her knees had already begun to hurt.
In the haze, her eyes turned black and she fell into the snow.
Qi Haoxuan encountered enemy troops on the way here and hid in the jungle for a while before coming out. Unexpectedly, it was already late at night when he arrived at the palace.
Seeing the spies watching near the main courtyard, Qi Haoxuan sneaked in from the other courtyard. When he first came to the courtyard, he was stunned when he saw the person lying in the snow: "The king...the princess?"
He quickly picked her up from the ground and wanted to take her to the main courtyard, but found that the door between the two courtyards was locked, so he could only take her back to the small shabby room.
The house was really cold, so Qi Haoxuan picked up dry wood and lit a small fire inside. Seeing that the thin quilt was not resistant to the cold, he took off his clothes and covered He Yanyan with it.
Not knowing what happened, Qi Haoxuan turned his head and glanced at the medicine on the table, then dipped his finger into it and tasted it——
But why does the princess live in this place when she is pregnant?
Qi Haoxuan felt that there was something fishy in it. It was really unsafe here, so he pressed Bian Xiao's letter under He Yanyan's pillow. Before leaving, he still felt uneasy, so he shot down a wild pigeon in the yard, roasted half of it and put it away.
Half of the plate was boiled into soup before he left uneasily.
How could this happen?
Qi Haoxuan returned to Fengyin Sect full of suspicions. At this time, Bian Xiao was taking a medicinal bath under the treatment of the doctor.
Opening the door curtain and coming in, Qi Haoxuan saw the man's broad back from a distance, and his exposed shoulders were full of scars. His back was trembling slightly, as if he was holding back the severe pain.
"king."
"Um."
After hearing Qi Haoxuan's voice, Bian Xiao waved him over.
"King, the letter has been given to the princess, but..."
Qi Haoxuan stopped talking, Bian Xiao frowned, turned his face and looked: "Say."
"It's just that the princess seems to be pregnant...and..."
When he heard that He Yanyan was pregnant, he seemed to still have the feeling of grabbing her wrist in the palace. He stretched out his hand and smelled the palm of his hand. In addition to the smell of medicine, there was also a faint and refreshing fragrance of a woman.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and Bian Xiao nodded: "Very good. You can send more supplements to the princess these days. If I feel better, I will also visit her."
"King, your injury is really serious. Don't run out again. If you encounter an enemy, you will be in trouble!"
I knew Qi Haoxuan would definitely say that, but Bian Xiao didn’t intend to listen——
As long as you don't get discovered by him, you don't have to listen to these nagging.
I thought Qi Haoxuan was going to leave after saying this, but when she noticed that the man had been standing behind her, Bian Xiao frowned: "What's wrong?"
"King, although the princess is pregnant, but..."
"Speak quickly!" Bian Xiao turned around and stared at Qi Haoxuan sharply, "What happened to her?"
"The princess was expelled to live in another courtyard without enough food. Moreover, when the minister went to deliver the letter, the princess was tied up and passed out in the snow!"
"What?!" The hand holding the tub tightened unconsciously, and the wooden board was crushed. Bian Xiao stood up with force, and the wound on his leg immediately burst and bled.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
Qi Hao
Turning his head, Bian Xiao stared at Qi Haoxuan: "Who did this?"
Qi Haoxuan shook his head: "I don't know, but there are many bad guys and spies installed by the emperor near the palace."
Gritting his teeth, Bian Xiao looked at the injury on his leg and raised his eyebrows: "Yesterday, when did you say that the injury on my leg will heal?"
"It will take more than a month at the soonest!" The doctor immediately kowtowed to the ground.
"Within seven days," Bian Xiao's expression became stern, "If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Breaking into a cold sweat, being held here, the doctor was a little at a loss -
Your Majesty, we don’t play like this... This is really something that cannot be cured.
Especially since you keep running around!
When the bleeding finally stopped, Qi Haoxuan left the Fengyin faction with peace of mind. Everyone in the main hospital was resting at night. It seemed that there would be some activities during the day. Although there were some risks, Qi Haoxuan decided to take the risk and find out who murdered the princess.
people.
When he came to the other courtyard, he looked through the cracked hole in the wall. Qi Haoxuan saw that the pigeon soup and meat on the table had been eaten. He Yanyan got up and continued chopping firewood in the yard, as if she wanted to make the firewood in the house more prosperous.
Some.
How can you do such a thing when you are pregnant!
Just when Qi Haoxuan blamed Zhi Xin for not coming to serve, the door was opened, and two servants brought a wooden board filled with nails, and then tied He Yanyan up without any explanation:
"The wet nurse has an order. The princess has misbehaved, committed adultery, and has harmed the reputation of the palace. Today, I will kneel on this board for a day to make amends to the soul of the prince!"
He Yanyan looked at the sharp nails on the board and pushed away the person who was trying to catch her: "Don't bully others too much! I have already said that this is just an unfounded crime of the wet nurse. If the palace does not keep anyone, you open the palace
Just leave Kadomoto!"
"Let's go?" the maid outside the door spat, "I betrayed the prince and still wanted to walk out of the palace alive, dreaming!"
"you!"
"Sister, a man's clothes were found in this bedroom."
"Okay, you are even ashamed of how kind our prince is to you!"
Without any explanation, He Yanyan was pressed down by two people and knelt on the roof.
Accompanied by a burst of screams, He Yanyan was pinned down by the two men and knelt on the top board. The servant's knee pressed down on her calf, and the plum blossom nails penetrated her flesh in an instant. Her whole body began to tremble.
His hands were stuck in the air, unable to move.
"Kneel down and recite women's virtues during the day."
The maid put down these words, turned around and left, leaving the strong man staring at her while reciting. Zhi Xin at the door witnessed this scene and took the maid's hand: "Sister, is this too much? Does the princess still have any more?"
Pregnant..."
"If you want to betray the nanny, my sister can't help you."
"..."
Originally, she wanted to say a few words for He Yanyan, but after hearing these words, Zhi Xin also gave up.
Qi Haoxuan looked at this scene and was filled with anger. The princess who the prince usually took good care of was actually abused in this way when she needed care.
As he raised his hand, the hidden weapon was fired from his sleeve, and the strong man in the other courtyard fell to the ground.
Qi Haoxuan learned some medical skills from the Fengyin Sect, but seeing that this injury was no longer something he could diagnose and treat, he had to find a doctor as soon as possible.
He really regretted how carelessly he left his clothes yesterday. He also didn't expect that the wet nurse would behave like this behind her back. Across the mountains and forests, Qi Haoxuan must tell Bian Xiao about this matter as soon as possible.
When they arrived at their destination, Bian Xiao was having a meal. Seeing Qi Haoxuan sweating, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Qi Hao
"Wang...Nanny, she...she..."
As soon as he heard "nanny", Bian Xiao's nerves became tense: "What? But the nanny is not in good health?"
"No...no."
"Nanny's old knee disease will relapse as soon as winter comes. I don't know if the imperial doctor has seen it."
Seeing how much Bian Xiao cared about the wet nurse, Qi Haoxuan didn't know how to open his mouth:
"The wet nurse... abused the princess and made her... make her kneel on the nail board as punishment."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Bian Xiao denied it at first: "Impossible. How could the wet nurse do such a thing if she wants to be gentle and virtuous!"
Qi Haoxuan's eyebrows almost twisted together, but he didn't know how to persuade Bian Xiao, so he could only repeat: "The princess's legs are covered with nail holes now, and her life is at stake!"
Clenching his teeth, Bian Xiao's eyes were flustered, but he must not sacrifice himself during the day, otherwise all his plans these days would be in vain!
His heart felt like it was being eaten by millions of ants, but after a moment of nervousness, Bian Xiao could only close his eyes and hurriedly shifted his gaze to the food on the dining table, and said lightly: "I understand, stand down.
"
"king--"
"Back off!"
Qi Haoxuan wanted to give some more advice, but seeing Bian Xiao's unmoved look, he could only give up.
Qi Haoxuan held a deep breath in his heart. He didn't know where the personal guard who was accompanying the princess at that time was.
