Xie Yan was immersed in shock, and the surprise in her eyes fell on Xiao Yan's eyes opposite her, which inevitably made Xiao Yan, the superior, a little suspicious.
Could it be that the good aunt in Jingyang Palace arranged this woman in front of her behind her back? After all, he, the crown prince's guardian teacher, returned to his ancestral home for burial in his coffin. If something happened to a favored woman on his way back to Beijing at this time, he, the crown prince of the East Palace, would probably be criticized by scholars all over the world.
Xiao Xianxian's nature was already quite harsh, but he couldn't sleep due to a headache these past two days, and he was even more unbearably manic and depressed. At this time, the pain in his temples became more and more sudden, making it even more unbearable. .
Feeling irritated and suspicious, Xiao Yan took a step forward and pinched Xie Shu's delicate and white neck with his long and strong hands.
Xie Shu was still immersed in the surprise of seeing the prince. When he grabbed her neck, she turned pale with fright. She subconsciously put her hands on his hands, trying to tear away his shackles.
Before she could exert any force, she felt a heavy weight on her body, and the man in front of her leaned on her shoulder as if he was helpless.
Xie Shu didn't dare to move at all. She remembered that in her previous life she stayed in the Buddha beads and saw the new emperor's stubborn illness. She immediately understood that Xiao Yan had a head illness, so she subconsciously protected his body.
Xiao Yan's face showed pain at first, then gradually calmed down, and finally he seemed to have fallen asleep.
This scene made Eunuch Cui who was following behind him both surprised and horrified. He quickly stepped forward to sniff out his master's breath. Seeing that his master was sleeping peacefully, he was even more surprised.
The master had not slept for several days. He was still thinking that the master was suffering from mania and would see blood today. He never thought that the master would slowly calm down and finally fall asleep.
He winked, and soon two guards came up and took the frightened and pale maid Qingdai down.
As for Xie Shu, he took her and placed her in a wing room.
Xie Yan looked at Xiao Yan, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch, and the beardless eunuch Cui Eunuch in front of her. She didn't know her situation at this time.
She quickly explained: "My daughter didn't bump into this young master on purpose. I hope you won't blame me. If you don't have any other instructions, can you tell me to go back first? I still have my mother waiting for me at home."
Mr. Xie's face showed confusion and nervousness and confusion when the girl's family suddenly encountered something unexpected. However, Eunuch Cui looked at her and asked coldly: "Ordinary people will be surprised when they see me with a white face and no beard. See more." After a few glances, the girl is different from others."
Xie's heart tightened because she didn't understand the temptation in Cui Eunuch's words. Chamberlains are different from ordinary men, but she is a girl, and when they meet for the first time, how can she tell at a glance that the person in front of her is from the palace. It's just that because he was possessed by a Buddhist bead in his previous life, he saw this person as a chamberlain serving the new emperor.
Thinking like this, she raised her eyes, showing a bit of confusion at the right time. After thinking for a while, she said: "There are always differences between people. I just think it's strange and keep staring at people. Isn't it a loss of respect?" "
Xie Shu thought for a while and then said: "When my daughter was young, there was an embroiderer at home. She had a red birthmark on her neck. She often didn't dare to see people because of the glare of others, and she would secretly hide in the house and cry. Whatever happened, she wanted to , everyone always has their own difficulties."
Because of her words, Eunuch Cui's eyes showed a bit of surprise. It was rare for him to have such compassion at such a young age.
If this incident is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the one from Jingyang Palace, the girl in front of him is actually a wonderful person.
In particular, His Highness fell ill in front of her, but he quickly recovered. I don't know if there is any fragrance or something else on this girl's body that can relieve His Highness's symptoms.
With Eunuch Cui thinking this, his thoughts turned around a few more times, and he asked, "Which family are you from? What's the purpose of coming to this temple?"
Xie Sui knew that Eunuch Cui was trying to find out her details. How could she dare to hide it? She only replied cautiously: "My little girl's surname is Xie. This time she went to Beijing with her mother to visit her grandmother. Her grandmother is the old lady of Duke Anguo's house. My mother She is the aunt of Duke An Guo. She just wanted to bring a few scriptures to the Buddhist temple to pray for her grandmother. Who would have thought that she would accidentally bump into your young master, who was also caught by the cold because of the cold weather. Are you not in good health? If so, you should have a good life and take care of yourself. This temple is built on the mountain, but it is colder than elsewhere."
Xie Shu pretended to be sorry and concerned and explained. Only she knew deep down how nervous she was at this time, but she had to get herself out of this matter. She didn't know that the prince had a headache, or even that the prince had just She didn't notice that the prince's actions were clearly irrational due to the pain. She just thought that the prince had contracted the cold and was in poor health. It's not an exaggeration to say that a person would do any ridiculous thing when he was sick.
Although she had been with Xiao Yan in the Buddha beads for many years, it was precisely because of this that she knew that Xiao Yan was definitely not a compassionate person.
On the contrary, he had the emperor's ruthlessness and suspicion. She didn't want to live another life and lose her life so early.
It has to be said that Xie Shu is a bit quick-witted. She mentioned Anguo Gongfu at this time to gain a chance for herself.
After all, everyone knows that An Guogong belongs to the prince's party.
Naturally, she also knew that what she said would arouse people's suspicion, but the fact was that she was just a girl from the Xie family who followed her mother to Beijing to visit her grandmother. Even if the prince and the person in front of him wanted to investigate carefully, they could only This result can be found.
Duke Anguo's Mansion?
Listening to Mr. Xie's words, Eunuch Cui's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
He quickly understood the identity of the woman in front of him. If his guess was correct, she should be the daughter of Fu Qionghua, the aunt of Duke An Guo.
However, at this time, if they didn't get together as a family and eat and talk together, what was she, a girl doing, doing here in the back hall? Is it to enshrine the scriptures, or is it because I know His Highness is in this temple that I have a desire to cling to you? Thinking that you can serve His Highness with your beauty?
As he thought like this, he felt a bit more displeasure and disgust in his heart. His Highness had never been a womanizer, and even if he didn't have this problem, this daughter of the Xie family might not be qualified to cling to their Highness.
Thinking of this, when he raised his eyes, he met Xie Shu's crystal clear eyes. He had stayed in the palace for half his life, and he didn't know what was true and what was false. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and a guard came in and whispered a few words in Eunuch Cui's ear.
After Eunuch Cui heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded slowly, and his eyes fell on Xie Shu, who was standing there obviously still a little uneasy and nervous.
It seems that it is a coincidence.
It's just that Miss Xie Er is really a pitiful person. Her biological mother didn't like her, so when the family reunited, she was sent to do other things.
The Xie family, a small family, actually did these nasty things.
Seeing that Eunuch Cui's expression became gentler, Xie Sui thought that he would let her go back. However, he did not think about the next moment, but he said: "Since the girl admitted that she bumped into my young master, she will wait here for my young master to wake up. Come and accompany my young master in person."
Xie's eyebrows changed slightly, and she opened her mouth to say something, but the other party walked out.
There were only her and Xiao Yan, who was sleeping deeply on the couch, in the room.
Xie Shu did not dare to move. She would not think that no one was watching her secretly after Eunuch Cui left.
So, she just stood there quietly until her legs became numb, and the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes. At this time, more than an hour had passed since she entered the room.
Xie met his eyes, with a hint of panic in her eyes. She blessed her body and said, "I didn't intend to bump into the young master. I hope he won't blame you."
Before he could speak, she carefully said, "If the young master is suffering from cold, please ask the doctor from the temple to come and take a look. Don't walk around outside and let the wind blow."
After a long time, the man on the couch suddenly said: "Do you recognize Gu? Otherwise, why did you look at Gu in such shock just now?"
Xie Shu was stunned. Naturally, she didn't recognize him and didn't dare to recognize him. She just whispered: "This is my first time in Beijing. How can I recognize the young master?"
After finishing speaking, I heard the man's voice was a little cold, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "Lie!"
...
Here, Fu Qionghua saw his son Fu Xuzhi, who was slender and exuding nobility. His face was filled with unconcealable joy, and his eyes were a little moist. Before she could get up, Fu Xuzhi said respectfully. : "Xuzhi met my aunt."
Fu Qionghua suppressed his joy at seeing his son, smiled and said, "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
"I heard this morning that you accompanied His Highness to escort Tai Tu's coffin back to his ancestral home for burial, and also stayed at Fu'an Temple on the way back to Beijing. I don't know how happy I am. Counting the time, I haven't seen you, Xuzhi, for five years."
"Our talents are more and more promising."
Fu Qionghua said, glanced at Xie Yan who was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "I haven't given your cousin a gift yet. I took you to Beijing five years ago, and you also met your cousin. What's wrong now?" Don’t you know how to call someone?”
Xie Yan was a little embarrassed by her mother's words, and regardless of her shyness, she stepped forward and called out, "Cousin Xu."
"My cousin doesn't know, but my mother was happy when she knew that my cousin had come to the temple. She ordered the accompanying cook to prepare a table full of delicious dishes. Many of them were my cousin's favorites. I even felt that my mother was partial."
When Xie Yan saw this cousin of Anguo Gongfu whom he had not seen for a long time, he lost his usual arrogance and showed a bit of coquettishness. The smile in his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
Fu Xuzhi smiled and said, "Cousin Yan, you are joking. My aunt loves you the most, cousin."
As he spoke, he looked around the room and said, "I heard from my grandmother that my aunt brought two girls to Beijing. Why did she only see the naughty cousin but not the naughty cousin?"
As soon as he said these words, Xie Yan's eyes showed a bit of displeasure. Fu Qionghua quickly explained: "My girl is not in good health. She may have been sick from traveling and traveling on the way to Beijing. She can't go out to meet guests. I asked her to stay in the house." It’s good to be alive and well.”
