The prince is no longer a man

In the East Palace, Pei Rong closed his eyes tightly, lying on the bed, the doctor with a gray beard was taking his pulse, and suddenly, there was a frown again.

Duan Jingxun stood aside, seeing this, he couldn't help asking: "How is Pei Rong?"

The imperial doctor withdrew his hand and replied respectfully: "Prince, Rong Shizi's qi and blood are not smooth, and his heart is stagnant. Under the great joy and worry, he couldn't bear it and passed out. I have already prescribed the prescription, but I still need to be patient." Prince, open your heart, don't worry about it anymore."

"Are you depressed? Too worried?" Duan Jingxun almost couldn't believe it, and asked repeatedly.

He is the one who knows Pei Rong's temperament best. The young son of Shun Palace who was raised by others is carefree, how can he be depressed?

"Yes," the imperial physician replied, "I have had two consultations, so I dare not make mistakes."

After receiving the imperial physician's affirmative answer, Duan Jingxun was still shocked. He never showed anything on his face. After ordering Chang Bin to follow the imperial physician to get the medicine, he shunned the other palace people and sat down beside Pei Rong.

Pei Rong who was asleep had a calm and beautiful face. Anyone looking at him would not be able to bear to disturb him.

Duan Jingxun rolled up the quilt for Pei Rong, looked at Pei Rong with a sizing-up look and heartache, he stretched out his hand, brushing the void from Pei Rong's brow bone all the way down, and whispered softly: "Pei Rong, what are you doing?" What are you hiding from me..."

Pei Rong who was sleeping unconsciously shook his head, as if he was struggling to resist something, he frowned slightly, he couldn't even feel safe in his dream.

Duan Jingxun quickly held Pei Rong's hand, knowing that he couldn't hear him, he still said softly: "Pei Rong, I'm here, don't be afraid..."

Pei Rong moved his lips, Duan Jingxun hurriedly bent down, and heard Pei Rong whispering "help me", the voice was soft and fearful, Duan Jingxun's heart ached unbearably.

"I will save you and protect you all the time, Pei Rong, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Rong was already trapped by the nightmare, he kept shaking his head, his body struggled slightly, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he repeated "help me" in a trembling voice.

Duan Jingxun hugged Pei Rong tightly, hugged Pei Rong's trembling body tightly in his arms, and closed his eyes heavily.

Fortunately, Pei Rong calmed down not long after, Duan Jingxun gently placed Pei Rongping on the bed, as soon as he let go, he saw Pei Rong's eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Sure enough, Pei Rong opened his eyes the next second, and he looked at the bed curtain in a daze, then his eyes slowly moved down to Duan Jingxun's body, and then stopped.

Duan Jingxun immediately held his hand: "Pei Rong, how are you?"

Pei Rong blinked lightly, and the water in his eyes came up: "Prince, why?"

"what?"

Seeing that Duan Jingxun was puzzled and confused, Pei Rong shook his head, as if he was whispering to himself: "It's nothing."

Duan Jingxun frowned, just as he said "you", he heard a woman exclaiming Pei Rong's name, looking back, it was Princess Shun who was full of anxiety.

Seeing Princess Shun, Duan Jingxun stood up and nodded.

Princess Shun's beautiful eyes were full of worry, and she asked anxiously: "Prince, Pei Rong..."

Before the question was finished, Pei Rong sat up with his body upright, his nose sore, and he yelled aggrievedly: "Mother..."

Pei Rong and Concubine Shun went back to the mansion together, while Duan Jingxun sat alone in the palace, full of thoughts.

Chang Bin entered with the medicine and said, "Prince, Rong Shizi's medicine has been brought back."

"Pei Rong has already left the palace, and will be sent to the palace tomorrow." Duan Jingxun rubbed his brows and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"How is the eunuch?"

"Prince, that eunuch is called Xiao Anzi. Eunuch Li, the eunuch next to the empress, arranged for him to enter the palace. It can be said that he is one of the empress' confidantes. When the fifth prince moved into the Chonghua Palace, the empress sent him there."

Duan Jingxun frowned: "The Queen's?"

"Yes," Chang Bin said, "What Rong Shizi said about the one-sided relationship with Xiao Anzi before is true."

"anything else?"

"Others, I can't ask, this little eunuch is very stubborn."

"That's right," Duan Jingxun said calmly, "People who can be so cruel to themselves are not so easy to deal with."

"One more thing." Chang Bin glanced outside the palace and said in a low voice, "The fifth prince has come to ask for someone."

"Give it to him," Duan Jingxun waved his hand, "but don't forget, don't lose your eyes."

Just when the two had just finished their conversation, Huo Qin rushed in at this moment: "Prince, I heard that Rong Shizi fainted today?"

Duan Jingxun clenched his fist suddenly, and replied in a deep voice, "Well, I've already returned home."

"What's the problem? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Duan Jingxun raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly let go of his hand, his voice sounded exhausted: "The imperial doctor said that he is overthinking and has depression in his heart."

"What?" Huo Qin was equally astonished, "Young Master Rong has a straightforward and simple heart, how could he be so?"

"Perhaps it is because of his nature that Pei Rong is like this."

"Everyone has someone in his heart who doesn't want to tell him, and it's the same in the palace. No matter how dirty his mind is, he will never show it on his face."

"But Pei Rong is different, he can't hide it, but he has to do it, so..."

As Duan Jingxun spoke, he stopped. He couldn't even imagine what kind of unspoken things could cause Pei Rong to worry so much.

Thinking of this, Duan Jingxun's eyes darkened, and he suddenly thought of a person.

This person, Pei Rong must have said something to him.

But thinking that this person was dead, Duan Jingxun couldn't help but annoyed himself even more. If he had moved faster, he might have been able to ask something.

Huo Qin saw that Duan Jingxun had a strange look on his face, and couldn't help asking: "What did the prince think of?"

"I think of someone."

"Who?"

"Pure Taoist."

Hearing this, Huo Qin's expression changed slightly. He naturally knew about Taoist Qingjing's emergence, and he came here today, half of which was for this person, but he didn't say it immediately, but continued to ask: "What's so strange about this person?" place?"

Duan Jingxun lowered his eyes and said: "When we first met in Qingyun Temple that day, Pei Rong had a very strange attitude towards him. I was very concerned. After I went down the mountain, I sent someone to look for him, but within a day, it was reported that Taoist Qingjing had transformed into a monk. news."

Hearing that Duan Jingxun had sent someone to look for Taoist Qingjing, Huo Qin's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he thought about what he had heard recently, and then slowly said: "Have you ever thought about it, the reason why Taoist Qingjing became immortal is because he figured out that the prince you will go find him."

Duan Jingxun suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"There is a servant in my residence who said that he saw Taoist Qingjing in Qingyun Mountain. When I heard this, I sent someone to investigate."

"How is the result?"

"The top of Qingyun Mountain, deep in the bamboo forest, is the hiding place of Taoist Qingjing."

As soon as Pei Rong returned to the palace, he fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe it was because he returned to his own home, this sleep was different from the nightmares he had when he was in the East Palace, instead it was rare to have no dreams. When he woke up and found that the sky was shining brightly outside the window, he realized that he had slept until the next day.

Looking at the familiar bed curtain above his head, he blinked blankly, then pinched his own face, and when he felt the pain, he let go of his hand, and Sixi's surprised and worried voice came from the side: "Little prince, you It's okay!"

Pei Rong turned her head and saw Sixi who was guarding the bed, she suddenly had an illusion, as if everything had returned to the day when she first woke up from a big dream.

But he clearly knew that this was not the case.

At that time, he didn't see Xiao Anzi, nor did he know Duan Yueli, and he didn't treat Duan Jingxun as complicated as it is now.

He even wanted to rush out of the palace like this, and ask Duan Jingxun why he treated him like this.

When seeing Xiao Anzi, Pei Rong almost asked the question, but he was too scared, he was so timid that he didn't even have the courage to ask that question.

Now that he woke up, he was even more dazed.

When he was in a coma, Pei Rong kept having nightmares, he was alone, calling for help in the dark dream, he vaguely heard Duan Jingxun's voice, Duan Jingxun told himself word by word, don't be afraid.

He was brought into a bosom full of aloes, so hard, even trembling, it seemed that Duan Jingxun was more afraid than himself.

As for being afraid, he even had an illusion, as if Duan Jingxun had a deep affection for him, and he was everything to him.

What made Pei Rong struggle even more was that he gained the strength of stability and trust in this embrace.

But this is even more ridiculous, isn't it?

Obviously, the one who hurt me the most is Duan Jingxun.

Pei Rong lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling violently, the long and dense eyelashes cast a small shadow, covering the fragility and struggle in his eyes.

Pei Rong's silence made Sixi even more panicked. When he was anxious, his voice turned into tears: "Xiao Shizi, say something!"

"I'm fine," Pei Rong forced a smile and said softly.

"I'm going to call Wangfei right now!" After Sixi finished speaking, she secretly wiped her face and ran out quickly.

Not long after, Princess Shun hurried in, and when she saw Pei Rong, her eyes turned red.

Pei Rong held her hand, and leaned her head on Princess Shun's arm as usual: "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry."

Princess Shun rubbed Pei Rong's head lovingly, and said softly: "It's fine."

Then he whispered to himself: "With my mother here, my mother will not let you have trouble."

The voice of these words was so soft that even Pei Rong didn't hear, he suppressed the confusion in his heart and murmured: "Actually, I know, I still asked my mother to worry about me."

Princess Shun smiled softly, and her voice was gentle: "So you have to be good, do you understand?"

Pei Rong closed her eyes, her voice was low and hoarse: "I know, I know everything."

It seems that these words are not only for Princess Shun, but also for herself.

He must be fine, otherwise, what should his mother do?

"Seeing that you woke up, I let go of most of my heart. I am going to go to Fahua Temple to chant scriptures and pray for blessings for a few days, and ask the Bodhisattva for peace."

"Mother, going to Fahua Temple to chant scriptures is unbearable, you..."

Knowing that Pei Rong wanted to dissuade herself, Princess Shun shook her head: "It is inevitable to suffer in the temple, why can't you bear it? You don't need to persuade me, besides, it won't work if the Bodhisattva hears it."

Pei Rong knew that Princess Shun had made up her mind and no one could persuade her, so she had to soften her attitude, hoping that Princess Shun would come back soon.

Concubine Shun responded with a smile, the two talked for a while, and Concubine Shun left. Before leaving, she changed from her usual gentleness and sternly instructed everyone in the mansion to take good care of the young prince.

Sixi was the first to answer loudly, and the rest of the servants also responded in unison, Princess Shun was satisfied, and explained a few words to Pei Rong before she got into the carriage and left the palace.

Not long after Princess Shun left, Ning Shiqing came.

As soon as he saw Pei Rong, Ning Shiqing asked straight to the point: "I heard that you fainted in Chonghua Palace?"

Before Pei Rong could respond, Sixi's eyes widened. He didn't care about Ning Shiqing's status as the prime minister's eldest son, and said angrily, "My little prince just woke up, so Mr. Ning's words are inappropriate."

Ning Shiqing shook her fan and smiled indifferently: "You are loyal, but you don't know. Only I can ask this question."

Sixi was about to say something more, Pei Rong raised his hand to signal: "It's okay, Sixi, you go down first, I'll talk to Mr. Ning."

When Pei Rong spoke, Sixi could only keep her mouth shut, and retreated angrily.

The corner of Ning Shiqing's mouth smiled even wider, he didn't look like he was visiting a patient at all, and said with a smile, "How, am I right?"

Pei Rong lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes, I'm glad you are so frank."

"So you can tell me what happened."

Should I tell Ning Shiqing that this question made Pei Rong hesitate.

The last time he said unintentionally when he was drunk, Pei Rong could still think that he was drunk, but now he is not drunk and is very sober, so he hesitates.

Seeing Pei Rong's hesitation, Ning Shiqing smiled lightly and said, "You can rest assured that I won't tell others. After all, I still care about you."

Ning Shiqing's teasing words made Pei Rong bend his lips: "Speaking of which, I don't know when you valued me so much."

"Of course it's because you are very important to me." Ning Shiqing had a smile in his eyes, and his eyebrows and eyes were coquettish as he waved his fan, making it difficult for people to see whether he was telling the truth or just joking.

But Pei Rong asked in the end: "How important?"

Ning Shiqing just shook his head: "After all, Rong Shizi still doesn't believe me."

Pei Rong raised her eyes and met Ning Shiqing's gaze.

Ning Shiqing's pupils were dark and quiet, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. No, his lips were born like this, always giving the illusion of a smile, but his eyes were strangely calm.

Pei Rong pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I met someone."

Hearing this, Ning Shiqing paused the hand holding the fan: "If my guess is correct, you have mentioned this person before."

Speaking of Xiao Anzi, Pei Rong still couldn't hide the fear in his heart, he unconsciously squeezed the teacup tightly, and said in a low voice: "I saw him beside the Fifth Prince, his hand..."

"Senior Rong," Ning Shiqing interrupted Pei Rong, "According to what you said, he belongs to the prince, how could he appear beside the fifth prince?"

All the water in the teacup was poured out, and Pei Rong suddenly woke up, only to realize that he had ignored such an obvious problem because of fear.

Ning Shiqing was right, Xiao Anzi belonged to the prince, not only had he never seen him in the East Palace, but now he appeared beside the fifth prince, what is going on?
