little princess

Chapter 35

Liu Wei soon fell asleep.

Xiao Yu maintained the posture of hugging Liu Wei, but his body was a little stiff.A certain person was lying in his arms like a small animal, faintly audible breathing, that small sound accompanied by a slight breath on his chest, scratching his heart from time to time like a kitten, making him feel itchy all over his body, his lower abdomen There is also some fever.

Finally, Liu Wei fell asleep, and Xiao Yu carefully got up from the couch.

The original point of focus disappeared, and someone in sleep threw himself on the pillow, frowning with some dissatisfaction, but did not wake up.

Xiao Yu sighed, quickly calmed down, hugged the sleeping Liu Wei, and walked towards the bed.

When Liu Wei woke up, it was already dark outside.He found that he was not lying on the couch by the window, but on the bed in the bedroom.She was covered with a quilt, but Xiao Yu was not around her.

Layers of bed curtains were hanging down, and the dim candlelight was reflected outside, faintly.

The surrounding was very quiet, but Liu Wei caught a subtle voice coming from a certain direction.After judging the direction of the sound, he lifted the curtain lightly and got out of bed.

Ruhua is lying in front of the table in the corner with half-closed eyes, her head is pointing, she sees a figure moving on the bed in a trance, she quickly gets up, but she sees Liu Wei crawling off the bed, looking mysterious while putting on her shoes He raised his finger up, motioning her to keep quiet.Although Ruhua was confused, she nodded blankly.

Liu Wei went around the screen and came to the door, the weak voice seemed to be amplified a little.

In the hall outside the bedroom, Xiao Yu was sitting on a chair and listening to the report from the little eunuch who came back from inquiring about the news. When he heard that "the empress sent someone to invite Master Pan and Young Master Pan into the palace", he couldn't help but sneered.

Liu Wei opened the door and walked out: "What are you laughing at, what's going on?"

Xiao Yu followed the prestige and saw Liu Wei was wearing a thin undershirt with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are you awake? Why are you wearing so little?!" Xiao Yu got up and walked over, hugged that thin body to her side, turned and entered the bedroom.

Xiao Yu put Liu Wei on the bed, helped him take off his shoes, and stuffed him into the quilt.

"Why didn't you say a word when you woke up, and didn't put on your clothes, just came out like this, be careful of the cold!"

"I've heard it all. You want the queen to have a falling out with the Pan family? But is there a loophole in what you did? You just got the prince to the Pan family yesterday. What about the two days before? The queen will definitely wake up." Suspicious!" Liu Wei huddled half of his face under the quilt, only revealing a pair of bright eyes like small animals.

Xiao Yu sat on the bed and smiled: "No, she can't wait to hide those two days."

"how to say?"

"Because the prince is sick." Xiao Yu couldn't help stretching out his hand as he said, wanting to touch Liu Wei's forehead.But when the hand was stretched out in mid-air, it stopped, and it was replaced by a light rub with the back of the hand.The man's skin looked very delicate, as if it would be broken if he scratched it casually, he couldn't bear to touch it with his callused hand...

Xiao Yu withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and continued: "The queen also knows that the prince is sick, and it is a disease that cannot be told to outsiders. Although she still has concerns in her heart, she will not be so stupid as to take the initiative to ask for the free time of those two days, because she Knowing that the crown prince disappeared because of illness. The crown prince disappeared due to illness, and he appeared in Pan's mansion on the third day, and he was able to communicate normally with Mr. Pan's family. The location of the place is unknown. The empress did not mention these two days, because she assumed that the prince was in the palace during the two blank days, so even if someone outside the palace encounters a mentally abnormal person who is suspected of being the prince, the empress can say that person is Lying, despising the royal family, deceiving the emperor, or something else..."

Liu Wei listened fascinated, and continued: "But on the contrary, if the empress mentions the blank two days, she will admit that the prince is mentally abnormal and escape from the palace. If someone outside the palace really sees the mad prince, the empress will also It's not easy to lie. She wouldn't be so stupid... Anyway, the prince has been found, and she just needs to deal with all the people who have seen the prince in secret. "

"But," Xiao Yu pointed Liu Wei's slightly wrinkled forehead with his fingers, "she will soon find out that no one has seen the prince during the two blank days, not only the people in the palace, but also the guards at the palace gate. People, even the people in the capital, have never seen the prince. The queen will feel very uncertain, then—”

Liu Wei opened his eyes wide: "The queen thought that the Pan family had concealed the real situation, so she hid the mad prince for three days, and murdered the prince on the fourth day!"

Xiao Yu saw that Liu Wei's cheeks were slightly flushed, his big eyes sparkled with excitement, but his lips were abnormally white, so he hurriedly said, "Don't think about it, lie down quickly."

Liu Wei lay down along Xiao Yu's hand, still with an excited expression on his face, staring at Xiao Yu intently, as if he was in a particularly good mood.

"The prince was seriously injured and couldn't follow He Shao's route, and the queen was busy dealing with the Pan family, but although the Pan family relied on the Yang family, they are now the emperor's servants. They will definitely not Indifferent! In the next period of time, he probably won't be staring at us all the time..." Liu Wei talked enthusiastically, and suddenly thought of something, his expression darkened, "He Shao over there..."

Before Liu Wei finished speaking, he heard a eunuch passing a message outside: "The emperor gave me dinner——"

Xiao Yu stood up and comforted Liu Wei who was a little stunned: "I'll come as soon as I go."

Liu Wei nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Xiao Yu walked out of the bedroom and saw a group of eunuchs carrying trays into the dining room opposite, and a young man in dark red court clothes was standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at him with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Yu walked over with a smile: "Didn't Mr. He go home to rest? Why are you still in the palace?"

He Shao saluted and said: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Liang, I suddenly got some urgent news today, so I had to go to the palace to meet the saint. Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness Liang and the Princess are staying in the palace today, so I specially asked the imperial dining room to do it." Bring over dinner."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. He to do this kind of work that eunuchs do."

He Shao's complexion did not change, and he was still smiling: "No way, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and Eunuch An stays by His Majesty's side to serve you. Your Majesty has always loved and cared for Your Highness the Princess, and he is worried about letting others bring dinner over, so, slightly The minister can only take the initiative to invite Ying."

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty is naturally relieved of Mr. He."

He Shaodao: "Thanks to Your Majesty's love."

The two stood facing each other, both smiling, but the palace people standing around felt inexplicably cold all over.

The eunuchs who delivered the food soon left the hall.

He Shaodao: "It's getting late, and I have to go back and report to my life."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Master He, please go back, the snowy road is difficult, please be careful on the road."

"Thank you for His Royal Highness Liang's concern," He Shao smiled slightly, but a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, "His Royal Highness Liang, please be more careful."

Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, and watched He Shao step out of the hall and disappear into the snow with a group of palace people.

At this moment, the deep and deep sound of the bell spread and drifted away in the crumbling sky.

Xiao Yu's expression changed, as if he understood something.

When he walked into the bedroom, the boy was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, listening to the bells ringing in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the bell finally faded away and disappeared into the night sky.

Xiao Yu walked over and stretched out his arms to hold Liu Wei in his arms.

Liu Wei leaned on Xiao Yu's body and whispered, "It seems that the crown prince is dead."

Xiao Yu said: "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

Liu Wei raised his head and stared at Xiao Yu with a pair of blank eyes: "Did He Shao do it?"

"should be……"

Liu Wei smiled, and the smile was a bit miserable.Xiao Yu looked distressed, and couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed Liu Wei's forehead.

After finishing the prince's funeral, it will be the winter solstice.

Due to the new funeral of the prince, there is not much festive atmosphere in the palace, and even the original routine family banquet has been reduced a lot.The queen of the banquet was there, but both of them looked very haggard.

The emperor seemed to be still ill, his cheeks were severely sunken, and there was a faint blackness between his brows.The queen still had exquisite makeup, but her eyes were bloodshot, and she didn't smile during the whole banquet.

After the banquet, it was mid-moon, Liu Wei and Xiao Yu bid farewell to the empress and left Fenghua Palace to return to the palace.

The carriage drove slowly, and the inside of the carriage was as warm as spring.

Xiao Yu sat in the carriage with Liu Wei, Liu Wei hugged the stove, leaning on Xiao Yu with his eyes closed to rest.A small candle lamp was placed on the small table, and the candle light swayed with the swaying of the carriage, which was the only lively color in the quiet and dark world.

During the more than ten days from the death of the prince to the winter solstice, the palace has always been calm.The queen lost her only son, and before she had time to trouble the Pan family, it was said that Pan Yuanshan brought Pan Rui, who was wearing thorns, into the palace to plead guilty to the queen. The queen actually forgave them, but Pan Yuanshan was fined half a year's salary by the emperor.Xiao Yu felt a little uneasy. Since He Shao dared to kill the prince, he must have planned the next thing.

Xiao Yu carefully observed the people around him by candlelight. They have been busy with various ceremonies and banquets these days. He was very worried about Liu Wei's health, but he found that Liu Wei's condition had not deteriorated, but showed signs of improvement. His complexion has always been bad, and he is still very thin, but he has always been in good spirits, able to eat and sleep, and looks radiant in front of others, without any signs of illness, which made Xiao Yu feel a little relieved.Anyway, since I've been by his side all the time, I definitely can't make him tired...

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the young man beside him open his eyes suddenly. Under the flickering candlelight, those eyes seemed to be shining brightly, seemed to be filled with mist, and looked very cute.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed the man's forehead like a dragonfly.

"If you are tired, you can rest when you go back. I will be in charge of the banquet in the mansion."

Liu Wei was noncommittal.There is a custom of holding banquets at home during the winter solstice in the capital, but this year is a bit special, the crown prince died not long ago, and there was a snowstorm again, so the banquets of each family did not dare to make too much publicity.King Liang's mansion does as the Romans do, and set up a few tables of food in the main hall to reward those retainers who followed King Liang from afar. The banquet was being prepared in the evening, just waiting for King Liang and Princess Jincheng to return from the palace.
