Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

The prince's complexion was originally cold and white, but against the blood color, it was a bit eye-catching.

"Call the imperial doctor to bandage it." Shi Fang said worriedly.

"No need." The prince took a square handkerchief to cover the wound, and said, "Don't disturb the royal father and queen's pleasure."

Shi Fang nodded when he heard the words, and didn't insist anymore, but he was somewhat worried about the other party's injuries.After all, the prince grew up pampered, and it is a big deal to break his skin on weekdays, let alone shed so much blood now.

"What do you want to eat, let me pinch it for you." Shifang said, the prince happened to be injured on his right hand, and now it was wrapped in a square handkerchief, so it was somewhat inconvenient to hold chopsticks.

The prince nodded obediently when he heard the words, and said, "I can eat whatever the elder brother puts in."

Shi Fang thought that he didn't like to be a vegetarian, so he just picked up a few random dishes at first, thinking that he would fill his stomach and stop starving.Unexpectedly, the prince's appetite was astonishingly good, he would eat whatever Shifang put in, and almost licked all the plates on the table after a meal.

The third prince on the side watched this scene dumbfounded, with some doubts on his face.

He lowered his head and tasted the food in his bowl, thinking that it was obviously tasteless, why did the second brother eat it so deliciously?

Did you say you don't like vegetarian food?

After the palace banquet, the emperor and empress will stay in ten directions to talk.

The prince looked at Shifang and said, "Gu will come and pick you up to the East Palace in a while."

"Your Highness, you don't need to make another trip." Shi Fang hurriedly said, "I went there by myself. Your Highness is still afraid that I will get lost?"

It's impossible to get lost, it's just...

The prince glanced at the third prince behind Shifang, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, the third prince didn't know why, so he grinned at him.

"Alright, brother, let's go, Gu just has something to say to the third brother." The prince said and smiled at Shifang, and walked towards the third prince.

"Second brother, brother in a while..." Before the third prince could finish his sentence, he was "held hostage" by the prince who covered his mouth and left.

Shifang vaguely heard some movement, but when he looked back, he only saw the back of the prince "holding" the third prince away.

He smiled lightly, thinking that the two brothers have such a good relationship.

East Palace.

The prince was sitting by the desk, and his entourage Huo Yansheng was kneeling on one knee to help him bandage the wound on his hand.

"Your Highness, why don't you find an imperial physician to take a look?" Huo Yansheng was a little worried.

"This little injury won't mobilize the crowd." The prince's eyes fell into the distance, his brows were deeply furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After Huo Yansheng bandaged his wound, he asked, "This subordinate is a little puzzled, why did His Highness deliberately..."

"You don't need to understand this matter." The prince said coldly.

Huo Yansheng answered in a hurry when he heard the words, and didn't dare to ask again.

He has been with the prince for several years, and he probably guessed that His Royal Highness's anomaly today has something to do with Shifang.He secretly thought, fortunately Shifang only stayed in the palace for three to five days, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince would have done some "strange" things.

"Has the side hall been tidied up?" the prince asked.

"It's packed, and my subordinates checked it out. It's clean and tidy. There are a lot of scriptures in it, and sandalwood is lit." Huo Yan said, "It's just... who should I send to serve? Is it the person who is looking for the internal servant, or Send a few smart maids over there?"

The prince pondered for a moment when he heard the words, as if he was quite entangled with this question.

After a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Gu thought of a suitable person."

After a stick of incense, Huo Yansheng took the prince's order to the imperial hospital.

The little father-in-law named Yuxing who took Shifang into the palace before had suffered from heatstroke all the way, and was "scared" by the prince before, so he passed away when he saw the prince again at the gate of the palace today.

If it was in the past, it would be a big deal to be disrespectful in front of the prince.

Thanks to Shifang's blessing today, the crown prince not only did not pursue him, but also sent him to the imperial hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Yuxing drank medicine and had an injection in the imperial hospital, and just now he recovered, when he saw that it was someone close to the prince, Hun'er was frightened again, rolled his eyes, and almost fainted again.

"You like needles so much?" Huo Yansheng casually twisted the silver needle aside and shook it in front of Yuxing's eyes.

Yuxing asked with a bitter face: "General Huo...does His Royal Highness want to silence me?"

When Shifang proposed to return to the palace for the first time, Yuxing did not dare to make a decision and refused. Unexpectedly, the news of the matter reached the ears of the prince that night, which made the prince furious.Fortunately, Yuxing "made up for his mistakes", he left the palace gate before dawn the next day, and finally brought him back to the palace.

But Yuxing is still afraid of the prince, for fear that this period has not passed yet.

Huo Yansheng sized him up a few times, but didn't answer his question, but asked the imperial physician beside him: "His Royal Highness/sympathize with this little eunuch, sent me to ask how he is recovering?"

"Back to the general, Eunuch Yuxing was just frightened, and he fainted because of the heat." The imperial doctor said, "Now he has almost recovered, just drink another dose of medicine tomorrow."

Huo Yansheng heard that he bowed his hands to the imperial physician, and then turned to Yuxing and said, "Congratulations, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks highly of you, and from today onwards, I will take you to the East Palace to serve Master Shifang."

Yuxing gasped when he heard the word Donggong, but he glanced at the silver needle in Huo Yansheng's hand, and could barely resist the urge to faint.

"Your cleverness is cleverness, but you are a little timid." After Huo Yansheng led him out of the Imperial Hospital, he said, "You know the temper of His Royal Highness, if you are still in the Eastern Palace, you will pass over. Whether Huo can wake up or not is not guaranteed."

Yuxing turned pale with fright when he heard the words, and asked pitifully, "General Huo, can you tell me what your highness is saying now? Master Shifang...how should I serve you? What should I say?" What, what shouldn't you say?"

"Hehe." Huo Yansheng looked at him and smiled, and said, "I'll give you permission? Who will give me permission?"

Why doesn't he want to find out His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards Shifang!

But if the prince doesn't say anything, how can he, as a subordinate, open the prince's mouth to ask?

Yuxing was already trembling, but he became more and more uncertain when he heard this.

General Huo is the prince's confidant, even he doesn't know what to do.As a little servant, if he wanted to serve Shifang under the crown prince's nose, wouldn't he be in trouble for His Royal Highness every minute?

the other side.

When Shifang came out from the empress, it was already dark.

The empress originally planned to send someone to take him to the East Palace, but unexpectedly the prince had already sent Huo Yansheng to wait outside the palace.

Shifang saw Huo Yansheng in front of the prince today, and already knew that he was the prince's entourage.

"How long have you been with the prince?" Shi Fang asked on the way back to the East Palace.

"It must have been almost five years." Huo Yan said.

Shi Fang smiled lightly when he heard the words, and a trace of trance flashed across his cold and handsome face.

Five years ago...it was the time when he left the palace to practice in Qingyin Temple.

That year, the prince was 13 years old and ten square.

The two grew up together since they were young, and it was the first time they were separated.

It's just that no one thought that when Shifang returned to the palace, five years had passed.

In the past five years, there has been a lot of separation between him and the prince.

"You have been following him all these years, how is he happy?" Shi Fang asked.

Huo Yansheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Shifang to ask such a question.

In this world, whether it is parents, brothers, or close relatives and friends, there are usually very few people who can really think about whether a person is happy or not.

"Your Highness, he..." Huo Yan paused, although he knew that he shouldn't talk about the prince in front of others, but facing Shifang in front of him, he couldn't say anything perfunctory.So he lowered his voice and replied, "Not very happy."

Shifang was a little surprised when he heard the words. The answer was somewhat beyond his expectation, but it seemed to be reasonable.

"His Royal Highness was very sensitive when he was young, and loved to cry. Later, when the Empress named him, she deliberately chose the word 'Yi'. I hope he will be as bright as fire for the rest of his life." Shi Fang said.

Huo Yansheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and didn't dare to answer.

No matter how courageous he is, he dare not discuss behind his back the prince's love to cry when he was young!

"You are the most valued and trusted person around His Highness, in the future... you must take good care of him." Shi Fang said.

When Shi Fang said this, his voice was inexplicably lonely, and Huo Yansheng turned his head to look at Shi Fang, for some reason, he heard a sense of "entrustment" from it.

"If Master Shifang misses His Highness, he can come to the palace to reunite with His Highness more often in the future." Huo Yansheng said half politely and half tentatively.

Shi Fang didn't answer when he heard the words, but only smiled faintly, with a bit of helplessness in that smile.

When he returned to the East Palace, the prince was discussing matters with others in the study.

Yuxing had already been waiting in the side hall, and when he saw Shifang came back, he went up to meet him.Shifang was quite friendly when he saw "acquaintances", but he didn't know why Yuxing looked unnatural.

Shifang followed his habit at Qingyin Temple, took a shower and fell asleep as soon as it got dark.

But he hadn't slept on such a soft couch for a long time, and he finally fell asleep after lying down, and woke up again before midnight.

It was difficult for him to go back to sleep after waking up. Since he couldn't fall asleep, Shi Fang simply got up and planned to go out to get some air.

Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door of the side hall, he saw a tall and straight figure standing in the corridor outside the hall.

"Your Highness?" Shi Fang asked in surprise.

The prince didn't turn around when he heard the words, but said with a lonely voice: "Now there are no outsiders here, do you still want to call me that?"

Shi Fang was startled, and heard that the prince was a bit disappointed, so he changed his words: "Yi'er."

Li Yi, who was standing on the porch, responded when he heard the words, but still didn't look back, and said, "Brother hasn't called me that for many years."

"You have grown up, and now you are the crown prince of a country..." Shi Fang said.

"Brother, do you want to reason with me again?" Li Yi asked.

Shifang smiled, and said, "It's brother's fault...why isn't Yi'er sleeping so late?"

"I had a nightmare... I was a little scared." Li Yi said with a hoarse voice, "I can't sleep alone."

For some reason, when Shifang heard the word "nightmare", he suddenly remembered the boy in his dream.

His heart hurt, he was almost out of breath, and it took him a while to calm down a little.

"It's late at night, and it's a little cold outside, or you should come in first..." Shi Fang said.

"Okay." Before Shi Fang finished speaking, Li Yi turned and entered the side hall. Only then did Shi Fang see clearly that the young man had a pillow in his arms.

"What are you doing with the pillow?" Shi Fang asked.

Li Yi walked to the couch and put his pillow next to Shifang's pillow, and said, "I'm not used to sleeping on other pillows."

Shifang: ...
