"My lord, I haven't seen you for several years, and there really hasn't been any change at all."
In the quiet little building, the refreshing aroma of tea floated in the air. Looking at the gentle and humble face in front of him, the irritable mood of Hua Lao Yuan was inexplicably swept away.
The last time I sat here drinking tea with the wise king was ten years ago.
He doesn't like forming cliques the most. When he was still serving in the palace, many relatives of the emperor tried their best to get close to him. But when he got along with the wise king, he would not feel any discomfort.
Because the wise king never asked him to do things.
"Lord Hua is still like that." Xiao Junlan smiled. There was no air of being a prince in his words, and there was no hint of flattery. The two of them were as natural and casual as if they had known each other for many years.
However, the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan let out a long sigh when he heard this.
He thought that after he retired and returned home to stay away from the disputes, he could find himself and his original intention, but in fact he understood that he was just escaping.
During those days when no one was bothering me in Jinxiang, the depression in my heart still couldn't be dispelled, and I still lived in irritability all day long.
He remembered too many things and could not shake off the mountains that were weighing on his shoulders. He did not expect to return to the palace and find that everything was still the same as when he left.
Chaotic, dark, utilitarian.
The envoy of Hua Lao Yuan cherished and touched the sachet hanging on his waist, thinking that at least this trip had gained something besides disappointment and anger.
"I shouldn't bother Mr. Hua, but this time..."
Xiao Junlan slowly talked about his illness, and Hua Laoyuan's eyes flashed, "Is there such a thing?"
He immediately stretched out his hand and placed it on Xiao Junlan's pulse. After a long time, he looked at his mouth and tongue before hesitatingly responded, "It is indeed not Rexie. Although the pulse is similar, the difference is huge. If the prince hadn't mentioned it, Mouth, if I don’t pay attention, I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake!”
But Mrs. Shizi made such a judgment just by looking at his symptoms at that time. For some reason, the envoy of Hua Lao Home suddenly thought of a person.
That person also had an unparalleled talent, but it was because his ability was so eye-catching that he fell into one dispute after another.
He also disdained conspiracies. If he could have protected him at that time, wouldn't it have led to the subsequent tragedy?
Although the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan is old, her eyes are not blind and her heart is not blind. Although today's incident was not caused by Xia Yunxian, her method of turning things around shows that she is not a simple person either.
The envoy of Hua Lao Yuan originally had prejudices against Xia Yunxian's way of doing things. If she could tell him in advance, there would be no need to make such a fuss.
But now that he thought of that person, Hua Laoyuan's envoy suddenly felt relieved. Just because he chose to protect himself wisely, he could not hate others and would retaliate.
I have been walking this road for decades, but I have not achieved anything famous.
Old, old after all, no woman has the courage to live.
Xiao Junlan couldn't help but think of Xia Yunxian's words. If he continued to use the prescription to treat heat evil, he would suffer in this cold winter.
She saved him.
Xiao Junlan glanced at the tea soaked in ice cubes on the table, then reached out and picked up another cup of hot tea and drank it in one gulp.
Soon, there was a scream outside the small building.
I saw a young imperial doctor lying on the ground in pain, while two guards beat him mercilessly.
"Lord Hua, you won't blame me for acting on your behalf, right?"
Xiao Junlan looked at the shocked envoy Hua Lao and said, "He took advantage of the Zhou family, so that's why today's farce happened."
Seeing the little imperial doctor's face getting paler, Hua Laoyuan couldn't bear it, but he also understood that if the wise king didn't take action, he would choose to turn a blind eye. Now the talented doctor really Too little!
He didn't want to see the talent of the Royal Hospital wither.
But... the wise king actually took action? !
A strange feeling came to his heart. Hua Laoyuan looked at the man opposite Feng Qingyundan with confusion. You must know that the wise king has never meddle in his own business. Is it just because Mrs. Shizi helped him this time? ?
"Housekeeper, save me..." The little imperial doctor didn't understand. There were so many people who had received benefits over the years, why was he the only one who was punished?
Seeing that the guard had no intention of stopping, he immediately panicked. Could he be beaten to death?
Until a cold voice sounded from above his head, "You won't die, but I don't want to see you again."
One sentence can ruin a doctor's future.
Seeing the little imperial doctor being carried out, Song Jin'er, who was waiting outside the small building, couldn't help but frown and faced the distinguished man who appeared, "Why did my sworn brother help her vent her anger?"
Cen Yurong's eyes flashed, her?
Just now, I was still guessing about the prince's intentions. This girl, Song Jin'er, was always so sharp that it was scary.
Xiao Junlan smiled. This child obviously had no authority, but he understood him inexplicably.
"I still remember that my sworn brother told you that he met someone in the bookstore."
Song Jin'er was silent. Although Xia Yunxian framed her cousin, she saved her adopted brother.
"Jin'er will apologize to her." Just now, I shouldn't have spoken to my sworn brother's benefactor in that tone.
At this moment, Cen Yurong secretly rubbed the handkerchief in her sleeve. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
Or is Xia Yunxian deliberately approaching the prince?
After returning to her senses, Cen Yurong walked towards Xiao Junlan and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Your Majesty, I want my concubine to prepare a heavy gift. I will apologize to the Crown Prince's wife on behalf of Jin'er, and I will also thank her for raising her hand."
The words of "a show of kindness" were very clever, and they unintentionally cut off most of Xia Yunxian's achievements.
The man in front of him pondered for a moment, but refused, "The princess is interested, I will think about it again."
The smile on Cen Yurong's face suddenly froze, think again?
It's just a thank you gift. She usually takes care of this kind of thing. Why is the prince so cautious this time?
I remembered that I saw Xia Yunxian from a distance on the carriage. Although he was more graceful and graceful than in the portrait, he probably wasn't what the prince liked.
Cen Yurong took a deep breath and quickly put away this ridiculous thought.
She is still very confident in herself.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Mr. Hua check my concubine's pulse?"
Cen Yurong spoke softly, with a bit of anticipation in her eyes, but Xiao Junlan just subconsciously glanced at her flat belly before replying, "You don't have to put too much burden on yourself. Since you're back in Beijing, okay Have a fun few days.”
"……yes."
Cen Yurong lowered her eyes gratefully, but the smile on her lips was full of reluctance.
The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. So many pairs of eyes in the palace are staring at her belly. How can she not be burdened?
Although the prince has treated her very well over the years and has never been obsessed with the issue of heirs, a woman must always have someone close to her.
Seeing Xiao Junlan slowly leaving with Song Jin'er without any intention of waiting for her, Cen Yurong should have gotten used to it.
The prince has such an indifferent temperament and gives her full freedom. He is like the high-flying kite. Although the string is in her hand, she cannot control where it will fly.
No!
She must have a child!
