In the impression of the maid, although His Royal Highness the Prince is not as shrewd as Bai Huan, he is much smarter than other pampered and arrogant nobles, he never cares about the affairs of the court, nor does he get involved in the disputes of interests in the capital, and he is an idle prince from beginning to end.

Almost everyone praised him for his self-knowledge, knowing that he was not good at government affairs, so he did not work hard in this area, but now he is ........

It's like a different person!

The maid looked up at the prince beside the bed with confusion, and somehow, a chill welled up in her heart.

With the curtains fluttering, the prince walked to the bedside step by step. Bai Huan was sleeping soundly on the bed, for most of the past half a month, with the departure of Feng Changqi and others, bad news came one after another, and her face became worse and worse.

The prince half-squatted down, gently held Bai Huan's hand with his hand, and his voice was much softer: "Your Majesty, you must get better as soon as possible, Meng Liguo is still waiting for you to govern." It took us a long time to get back to the country, and it was not easy to re-establish Meng Liguo, you can't have an accident. Qi'er is still so young, although the relationship with the national teacher has been decided, but after all, the marriage contract has not been officially made, don't you want to wait until Qi'er comes back and watch her get married and have children? Your Majesty, Meng Liguo, the courtiers, and Qi'er, including the people of the entire Meng Liguo, need you. ”

The prince's words were so sincere that even the maids standing outside were infected.

"Your Highness is really an affectionate and responsible person."

"Yes, yes, since His Majesty fell ill, Meng Liguo's affairs have been handled by His Royal Highness, if His Highness is not here, I'm afraid we will be ......"

Bai Huan's personal maid Qingxiu was also moved by His Royal Highness's words, but when she heard the conversation between the two maids, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and as for what was wrong, she couldn't say it.

Before Qingxiu could come up with a reason, the prince had already stood up.

On this day, as usual, he told the palace maids and officials who served Bai Huan to pay more attention, and then left the palace under the pretext of being busy.

Looking at his back as he walked away, Qingxiu wrung his brows, His Royal Highness has really changed a lot, he walks with a graceful appearance on weekdays, and his steps have never been so big, from a distance, he doesn't look like His Royal Highness the Prince of a country, but like a martial arts person who mixes the rivers and lakes.......

"Sister Qingxiu, Sister Qingxiu!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away, and the voice was treacherous, and it deliberately lowered its voice, as if it was afraid of being discovered.

Qingxiu turned her gaze and saw a familiar internal official standing in an inconspicuous corner, beckoning to her, as if he wanted her to pass. Qingxiu didn't think much about it at first, in this Forbidden City, how many interests are involved, and even the relationship between the palace people is entangled with each other, and it doesn't mean that she can ignore it when she sees it at first sight but can't recognize it.

Qingxiu walked over without thinking about it: "Where are you?" What is your name. ”

The little inner official immediately reported his name and origin, and it turned out that he was the little father-in-law of Qin Tianjian. It's strange, Qin Tianjian is all idle on his side, and he generally doesn't appear in people's sight without special circumstances, why did this internal official run outside and enter His Majesty's bedroom?

Qingxiu's expression suddenly became serious: "No one taught you the rules? His Majesty's dormitory is not a place to come and go at will! ”

The little internal official waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Qingxiu, the little one knows that His Majesty's bedroom is not a place where idle people can come and go at will, but the little one has no choice, and he will come out of necessity!" ”

"Oh? I'd like to hear what kind of helplessness you have? ”

The little internal official's eyes turned around, and when he saw that everyone else was busy with their own affairs, and no one noticed the movement on their side, he lowered his voice and told Qingxiu the ins and outs of the matter.

Qingxiu's face changed greatly, and her pupils trembled slightly: "What you said is the truth?" ”

"It's true, Sister Qingxiu, the little one can take his own Xiang Shang's head to guarantee that there is no mistake in every word! If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, even if you borrowed a few hundred guts, you wouldn't dare to break into Your Majesty's bedroom! ”

It didn't look like he was lying, and it was reminiscent of the Prince's recent abnormal attitude....... In line with the attitude of preferring to believe what it has rather than what it doesn't, Qingxiu twisted her brows and asked: "Since you can recognize the handwriting on the note as Her Royal Highness the Imperial Maiden, you must have read the content of the note, right?" Can you tell me about the content? ”

"Of course! His Royal Highness said in the letter that she was about to take the boat from Liang to Meng Liguo, and also said that the unknown predecessor had set off a few days in advance, and it should be almost there. His Highness also reported his safety in the letter. ”

Qingxiu trembled, happy and sad, happy that Feng Changqi and the others were safe and sound, all the rumors in Meng Liguo's place before were false, and the sadness was because of Bai Huan. As Bai Huan's personal maid and confidant among her confidants, she naturally knew how shocked and sad Bai Huan was after hearing those rumors, but now that people are fine, she even sent a message to report her safety, but Bai Huan had no way to hear it!

Qingxiu's eyes were flashing with tears, and she was also very excited. But soon he restrained his emotions and became a person who followed Bai Huan on weekdays and was meticulous in everything he did.

"Today's incident, just treat it as if nothing happened, if someone asks you why you came to His Majesty's dormitory after you go back, you say that I asked you to help with some small things, and you will go back after the matter is done, you don't know anything, do you understand what I mean?" Because this matter is related to life, Qingxiu's expression is very serious.

The little neiguan was obviously infected by her, and nodded again and again: "The little one knows, the little one will do what Sister Qingxiu tells me." ”

Qingxiu patted him on the shoulder and waved his hand: "You go back first, you know about it, don't let the third person know." ”

"The little one understands, the little one retires!"

After the little internal official left, Qingxiu stood silently in place, and stood for a while before adjusting his emotions. She put on a look that was no different from usual, walked back to Bai Huan's room to serve, and happened to meet a little palace maid who was about to enter the door with a soup bowl.

The usual scene, which is very normal, begins to become strange after the true face of the prince is revealed.

In the soup bowl, wisps of white mist rose and, far away, Qingxiu could smell the fragrance of medicine. She frowned and raised her voice, "Stop! ”

The little palace maid had obviously just entered the palace not long ago, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately stopped. Suspecting that she had done something wrong, she even spoke in a trembling voice: "What does Sister Qingxiu command?" ”

Qingxiu curled the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is served by me on weekdays, and it is the same if he is sick now." Give me the potion in your hand, and I will serve His Highness to drink the medicine. ”

"But.......," the maid hesitated.

Qingxiu immediately showed a dissatisfied expression: "What, I can't call you anymore?" ”

"No, no, the slave doesn't mean that!" Not long after entering the palace, the little palace maid could not compete with Qingxiu's aura, and after only saying a short sentence, she was so frightened that her face changed, and she hurriedly handed over the decoction in her hand to Qingxiu's hands, and then retreated respectfully.

Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the room with the potion, and the door was closed lightly by her.

The soup bowl was placed on the bedside table, and Qing Xiu looked at it silently, but did not show any intention of wanting Bai Huan to drink the medicine, because she thought of something unusual.

"Your Majesty's condition began to worsen, in addition to the news of His Highness's unfortunate death in the dense forest, there is another key reason, if I remember correctly, that is, from that day on, there was a new imperial doctor in the palace, and the prescription prescribed was also very different from before. At that time, everyone was anxious because of His Majesty's illness, and no one noticed this detail, plus the person who recommended the imperial doctor at that time was His Royal Highness, so no one doubted it, and now that I think about it, His Royal Highness is really very suspicious......"

Qingxiu's eyes swirled back and forth between the decoction and Bai Huan, and she was very hesitant in her heart, should she let His Majesty drink this bowl of decoction?

If you guess correctly, if you don't give your majesty medicine, you will save your majesty's life, and if you guess wrong, it will hurt her! This crime is too serious, and Qingxiu is a little afraid to take it!

She clutched her sleeves tightly, constantly torn between drinking and not drinking, and finally she made up her mind not to drink!

His Royal Highness the Prince's words and deeds are so strange, not only is his attitude unusual, but he even quietly put away His Royal Highness's letters, from this point of view, it is enough to show that he has a problem, this decoction must not be drunk by His Majesty!

"Knock knock!"

Outside the door, there was a sudden knock.

Qingxiu shook suddenly, and hurriedly responded: "Who's outside?" ”

"Miss Qingxiu, it's me, why did you close the door of Your Majesty's room? Have you finished drinking your majesty's medicine? ”

"I'm done drinking, I'll open the door!" Qingxiu responded to the sound of questions from people outside, and hurriedly walked to the vase with the decoction and poured it out, and then ran to open the door.

The maid outside approached the door and said with a puzzled expression: "Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?" There is a smell of medicine in this room, and if Your Majesty wakes up, he may blame us! Be careful in the future. ”

Qingxiu smiled with a smile: "The wind is a bit strong." I was afraid that Your Majesty's body would not be able to withstand the wind, so I closed the door, and now it is fine. The smell of medicine in the house is too big, just open the window and disperse it later. I have also fed the decoction to His Majesty, so you can take the medicine bowl with you when you go out later. ”

The maid looked at Qingxiu suspiciously, although she felt that something was wrong, but she still nodded.
