As soon as the people left, they were the only two people left in the inner hall. Chen Xueying immediately opened her eyes. She turned to look at the person next to her, her brows furrowed tightly.
This happened too suddenly, and there was a sense of violation everywhere.
With Lu Zhao's character, he shouldn't let this happen. If he had any plans, he should inform her.
Compared with the emotion of sadness, what was welling up in Chen Xueying's heart at this moment was disbelief.
"Lu Zhao, everyone has left. There are only two of us here. Stop pretending. Wake up quickly." She said tentatively.
Chen Xueying waited for a moment, but there was no movement from the people around her.
She refused to give up and said almost close to his ear: "Hey, no one will hear you when you talk like this. I know you may want to avoid other eyes, so you don't need to speak or impress. Just roll your eyes and give me a Signal."
After she said these words, she immediately straightened up and stared at his closed eyes intently.
It's a pity that the eyeballs didn't move at all, and even the man's breathing didn't change.
Chen Xueying let out a long sigh, lay back slowly, and then stared at his side face quietly.
It took her a while to close her eyes, but it was destined to be difficult to fall asleep tonight, and her heart was unavoidably agitated.
In Longqian Palace, Lu Wuji didn't sleep either. There was a memorial in front of Longqian, but he couldn't see it at all.
"Isn't the Shadow Guard back yet?"
Finally he put down his ink pen and asked the eunuch beside him.
"I haven't spoken to the emperor yet." Qin Youan replied in a low voice.
It took another half an hour before the shadow guard appeared in the hall of Longqian Palace.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are late."
Lu Wuji waved his hand and asked quickly: "What's going on over there in the East Palace?"
"The Crown Princess was not very sad at first. After she returned, she wiped the Prince's fingers and hair with a wet towel. After the palace people left, she asked the Prince if he was pretending. There was no one at the moment, so let the Prince Get up quickly, or send her a signal."
The shadow guard obviously knew the emperor's anxious mood, so he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
When Lu Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight and asked in a somewhat eager tone: "She also suspects that the prince is faking?"
Shadow Guard paused, not knowing how to answer.
Lu Wuji waved his hand again and ordered: "You continue."
"Afterwards, the prince didn't respond at all, so the princess gave up. She kept tossing and turning, sometimes asking the prince to get up, and sometimes scolding her a few times, saying that if the prince left her alone and made her a widow, he would wait for her to chase her after a hundred years. When she arrived at the Palace of Hell, she would give the prince two slaps. She did not fall asleep until her subordinates left and came to report."
This is the time when people are most sleepy. Chen Xueying, a pampered and pampered person, must have been fast asleep at ordinary times, but today she was tossing and turning and starting to behave in all kinds of ways, which proved that Lu Zhao's sudden accident made her feel uneasy and even panicked. of.
It's just that she is arrogant by nature and does not allow herself to cry. She can only use anger and acting to cover up her panic.
"It seems that this was really an accident. The prince was so weak to fall into such a thing." He breathed a sigh of relief, obviously afraid that Lu Zhao would lie to him.
When he got such an answer at this moment, he was obviously heartbroken. Of course, the next half of the sentence he said became even more forceful.
Neither Qin Youan nor the shadow guard dared to say a word in response to the emperor's half-truth and half-false anger.
The fighting wolves are already ferocious, and there have been frequent accidents recently. The emperor has long wanted to find an opportunity to teach the prince a lesson. Now that an opportunity happened to come into his hands, he naturally had to seize it.
Now that something like this happened, they both secretly speculated that the strong medicine taken by the fighting wolves might have come from the emperor.
But for this kind of thing, the emperor must find his cronies to do it. The two of them are the most trusted people by the emperor. Since they have not received the news and it is handed over to other palace officials, I am afraid it will not escape their eyes, so I still rule out this idea.
I don’t know who administered the medicine, but it played into the emperor’s heart.
"Check to see if the strong medicine has anything to do with the second son. If it doesn't matter, forget it. If it does, cover him up a little. Wait until the prince wakes up and then make a decision."
Lu Wuji ordered in a cold voice, and the shadow guard followed the order and left.
After the shadow guard left, he frowned, obviously thinking about something.
"It stands to reason that Concubine Yu has just been scolded by me, so the second child shouldn't have the guts to commit such a crime. He should have to be a coward for a while before having other thoughts. Has he become bolder now? Again? Or it could be the third child, who took advantage of the concubine being banished to the cold palace, and everyone felt that he was in despair, so they took the opportunity to attack, and few people would suspect him anyway..." Lu Wuji said to himself.
Obviously there is still some confusion about this matter, but it has already happened, and those people are most likely to take action against the prince.
He was not the one who did this, only the second and third eldest children were left. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely that these two people committed the crime against the wind. However, it happened again, so he could only think of them.
Lu Zhao slept for three days in a row. Chen Xueying was only in a trance that night. She finally fell asleep after nearly dawn. After that, she seemed to have figured it out and her mood recovered a little.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the bed, peeling an apple with a dagger in her hand.
It's not that she has become diligent, but she is just too bored, so she treats peeling apples as a game, hoping to peel a whole apple without breaking the skin.
After all, the prince was still in a coma, and she couldn't go anywhere. She had to stay by the bedside for both emotional and rational reasons. But in ancient times, there weren't even mobile phones, and she couldn't ask people to play cards for entertainment, lest it spread out, so she had to entertain herself. Enjoy yourself.
Several palace attendants standing by could not help but stare at the dagger in her hand.
Such a dangerous thing should not appear next to the unconscious prince's bed. After all, if the princess's hand slips, it is very likely to stab the prince.
But now that the prince is in a coma, the princess has the final say on all matters in the East Palace. No matter how nervous they are, they dare not do anything. At most, they can just give a reminder.
"Hey, why did it break again? Do you need talent to peel an apple?" Chen Xueying muttered dissatisfiedly to the apple peel hanging on the ground.
"Here, whoever wants to eat can eat it. If you don't want to eat it, feed it to the cat." Chen Xueying put the apple back into the tray, and a palace maid immediately came forward and took the tray away.
Chen Xueying was served to clean her hands, and then she leaned against the bed and sighed.
"You're lying down quite well, huh?" She looked at Lu Zhao, who had a quiet face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch him. She directly pulled his face and started kneading it, as if he was playing with plasticine.
"Well, it feels pretty good. It's rare to have a good leather bag, and I don't have the chance to pinch it like this. Now that I'm lying down, it's convenient for me to play with it at will."
"As the saying goes, you can only watch from a distance and don't play with it. However, it does not apply to you. Your Highness, the prince, feels very good when he plays with it."
She seemed to really treat him as a toy, sometimes squeezing him with her hands, sometimes staring at his face in a daze, and then poking him unconsciously.
In such a tight situation, time seems to pass quickly.
And she didn't stop, and even got worse as time passed.
She even started to get a brush and paint on his face.
"Princess, isn't this good?" After receiving the news, Li De quickly came to stop her.
"Your Highness is not awake yet, and it will be inconvenient to scrub him by then."
Chen Xueying waved her hands indifferently and said in a solemn tone: "How can it be bad? It is precisely because he is not awake that we need to stimulate him more from the outside world. The brush is light and soft, and it feels itchy when written on the face, this kind of numbness It feels like maybe it can awaken his consciousness?"
"If scrubbing is inconvenient, Eunuch Li, you can rest assured that every time I finish painting, I will definitely wipe it clean and it will definitely not increase your burden." She assured.
"Princess, I don't mean to increase the burden, but because His Highness is in a coma, it's really disrespectful for you to directly draw on his face with a pen. If Your Highness is awake -"
Li De's tone was urgent, and he kept trying to stop her. He even rushed forward and opened his arms to grab her.
But before he finished speaking, Chen Xueying deliberately raised her hand and touched Li De's arm. Then, following the force, the brush in her hand fell "naturally" onto Lu Zhao's face, gently. A slight scratch left an ink mark on the door.
"Ah, it's not my fault. If you weren't so excited, I would have hesitated before I dared to paint on his face!" Chen Xueying spread her arms with an innocent posture.
Li De was shocked at first, and then when he heard what she said, his legs softened and he fell to his knees with a "pop", a look of extreme annoyance on his face.
"A slave shall be punished by death." His voice was trembling, and the words he spoke were even more deadly.
"Okay, okay, His Royal Highness is unconscious now. It's unlucky for you to cry here no matter what you look like. You have served him for many years. During this time, he has been lying down and has no need for you, so I will give it to you." Take a vacation and have a good rest." Chen Xueying waved her hand and persuaded her in a good-natured way.
After saying this, she started playing by herself again.
Li De was helped up by the palace servants. He was in a daze. He couldn't bear to look at the Crown Princess sharpening her sword, and in the end he could only bow and leave.
Since there is no way to stop it, simply avoid it, out of sight and out of mind.
After Li De left, Chen Xueying took the brush and seemed to want to write a second stroke, but looking at the man's handsome face, she finally failed to do so.
She handed the brush to the palace servant and put it away. She couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's better to keep this good skin. It won't look good if there are marks on it. And you lie here, I can do whatever I want. You can't even resist the painting, it's very boring. Lu Zhao, it's time for you to wake up."
Chen Xueying couldn't help complaining that when Lu Zhao was here before, even if they didn't talk much, the two of them would often be in the study, each doing their own thing, but the silent companionship was better than this state.
The feeling of loss regained its high ground, and she kneaded his body unconsciously.
Suddenly I remembered that in modern times, a comatose person like this must be massaged regularly, otherwise his muscles will easily atrophy.
She immediately became interested, lifted up the brocade quilt, and began to knead him.
Seeing her big move of lifting the quilt, the palace maids were all shocked. They all lowered their heads, obviously not looking at any incest.
Chen Xueying didn't care about the management at all, she just acted casually. :,,
