Clan House

Song Jingxin didn't know where a little maid lived, and she woke up many people by stumbling around.Rongxiu was falling asleep when she was woken up by the lady in the same room, and she came out with her hair loose.She was favored by the princess, but she never served her personally, and she never got the job of making sour plums.The two faced each other, aware that something was different, and immediately ran towards the bedroom.

On the bed, the princess turned her head slightly, and closed her eyes peacefully.Song Jingxin crouched in front of the bed and called softly, but no one answered.He didn't dare to touch it, and suddenly got up and went out to find the kidnapped doctor.

The old doctor only put on a little eunuch's robe, and he didn't even have time to put on his trousers, so Song Jingxin dragged him out by the collar.Cursing and cursing all the way to the bedroom, the two of them entered the door, only to see the belated Rongxiu sitting on the ground covering her face and crying bitterly.The old doctor took a look and saw that the woman on the bed was lifeless, so he let out a yell: "I'm called here because I'm cold, what's the use!"

Song Jingxin was furious, and kicked the doctor's stomach: "Shut up, you've got a cold, save him!"

The old doctor was lying on the ground, feeling that he had been kicked out of his internal injuries, clutching his stomach and gasping for air, he replied angrily, "How can the dead be saved, it can't be saved!"

"You don't even look at it, how do you know that someone is dead? Could it be that you prescribed poison?" Song Jingxin was furious, grabbed the doctor by the collar and wanted to beat him, but Rong Xiu who rushed over grabbed his arm.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive, and don't disturb the Crown Princess." Rongxiu said, "The Crown Princess's body is stained with blood, and wait for the maidservant to help the empress to clean up and change her clothes."

Song Jingxin was awakened by Rongxiu, slowly put down the doctor's skirt, shrugged her shoulders and panted.The old doctor broke free and ran to the bed, only to see that half of the bed sheet was soaked in blood and gradually dried up. "This...impossible, you didn't use the medicine prescribed by the old man?"

There will be no problem with the prescription. If the doctor poisons you, you can find another doctor to read the prescription and you will know.However, from the beginning to the end, there were only four people who had been exposed to the medicine, Song Jingxin, Huang Xi, Xu Shi and Rongxiu.Song Jingxin's mind gradually calmed down, thinking about the beneficiaries after the death of the princess, women are indeed more suspicious.

Song Jingxin approached the palace maid Rongxiu, and carefully scrutinized this pair of eyebrows and eyes that she had never looked at carefully.Rongxiu's face is dignified and upright, her beauty is considered to be the best among court ladies, and she behaves properly, neither humble nor overbearing.Song Jingxin finally remembered who this person was, she was a court lady sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to teach him when she was 14 years old.At that time, the two of them didn't get along very well, so Song Jingxin realized that he didn't like things between men and women.Over the years since then, the forgetful prince had long forgotten the humble court lady, and he didn't remember to give her a proper position after his wedding.I haven't seen her for many years, but this woman suddenly appeared next to the princess. It is very strange to think about it this way.

Song Jingxin's pupils shrunk, and she shot sharp eyes at the maid.

Rongxiu noticed the suspicion in the prince's eyes, suddenly she was startled, turned her head and ran out.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the masters of the East Palace hadn't gotten up yet.Rongxiu bypassed the rough envoys who got up in the morning to clean up, ran outside Xu's bedroom, and knocked hard on the door. "Miss Xu, Mistress Xu..."

The people inside seemed to be in a deep sleep, and no one responded for a long time.She tried to push the door, but found that the door was open, so she opened it and walked in.In the bedroom, the crown prince's side concubine was hung by a white silk, her hands and feet were drooping, and her loose robes hung down like a veil.

"Mistresses!"

The princess concubine exerted pressure to win, and died of bloodshed due to backlash.Despite Song Jingxin's efforts to suppress it, the rumors still spread in the palace.The queen wanted to abolish her posthumous name on the grounds that the princess concubine lost her virtue, and carried her out of the palace for burial.In the end, it was Zuo Zongzheng, King Gaoyang, who came forward and said that there was no real evidence for Yasheng.

After this incident, Crown Prince Song Jingxin seemed to be a different person, drinking away his worries all day long and ignoring political affairs.Regarding the behavior of the prince, Emperor Xuanqing was quite tolerant.He knew that his eldest son was a child who valued affection, and after his wife passed away, it was inevitable to be depressed for a while.The old emperor granted the crown prince a holiday, and specifically asked Taoist Weiyu not to provoke the crown prince if he had nothing to do.

Outside the Jiaotai Hall, Xun Kuan stood proudly in the cold wind, the sleeves of his official uniform fluttering in the wind, showing his tall and handsome posture.It is deep winter, and the weather is getting colder.Mr. Xun, who has already entered the Ministry of Rites, pays attention to his appearance, and likes to wear thin clothes, but he refuses to show his wretched appearance with his hands and shoulders shrugged.At this time, his hands were numb from the cold, and he couldn't stop the cold wind from penetrating into his collar, bringing him a refreshing feeling.

Two hours ago, Emperor Xuanqing liked Xun Kuan's Qing Ci very much after reading it, and decided to take half a day to deal with political affairs.Xun Kuan was summoned, refused the cloak offered by his entourage, and entered the palace gracefully, bewitching countless eunuchs and guards along the way.Finally arrived outside the Jiaotai Hall, but was told to wait here, which lasted for two hours.

Just when Xun Kuan felt that he was about to freeze to death, someone withdrew from the hall.Xun Kuan closed his eyes and woke up. He looked intently and saw that it was King Gaoyang, so he hurriedly came forward to say hello.King Gaoyang's temper was not much less than that of King Xunyang, and when he saw a treacherous man who had been climbing the ranks by virtue of Qing Ci, he immediately gave him a disgusted look.Xun Kuan was not discouraged either, he turned his head and gave the smiling face to Chen Jingxian who was behind him, the eunuch naturally didn't hit the smiling face, he pulled Master Xun's sleeve and bit his ear.

"Ge Lao is also wearing too little clothes. He is indeed young and in good shape." Chen Jingxian saw Xun Kuan's inquisitive appearance, so he casually brought up an unrelated topic, "Our family can't do it, you said it's not good enough. In winter, I was afraid of the cold when I got up early in the morning, so I almost missed the time to serve His Majesty. Hey, as slaves, it is not a great sin to miss an errand."

"What is the father-in-law talking about? The officials see that the father-in-law is in good health. Now that your majesty has cultivated immortality, no matter how you say it, you have to take the father-in-law to ascend the Tao and let you serve by his side for thousands of years." Xun Kuan said with a smile, "We servants don't have this kind of blessing. After a hundred years, it's all loess!"

Chen Jingxian laughed, and the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Where is it, Your Majesty's cultivation of immortality is all managed by the head of the fairy, and our family is just a servant who waits on others."

Xun Kuan saw that things were right, so he looked around cautiously, and quietly approached the eunuch's ear: "Your official has heard a rumor, and I don't know if it will be accurate. Although Taoist Master Weiyu has some virtues, he is not really capable." A capable person, besides, he was expelled from the sect by the head teacher for making mistakes in the early years."

It was the first time for Chen Jingxian to hear about this, and he was immediately startled, but he didn't show it on his face. "There are things like this, our family sees Master Weiyu as an immortal, he doesn't look like an outcast from the Taoist sect."

"The lower official is also hearsay, maybe others are jealous of Wei Yudao's growth of the Sacred Heart, maybe it was planned on purpose." Xun Kuan shook his fan, Chen Jingxian watched his movements and his eyes twitched, feeling cold for him from the bottom of his heart.Hearing Xun Kuan's voice change again: "However, I have heard that Master Weiyan's elder brother, Zhenren Weiyan, is the current head teacher. The head teacher will know the difference..."

Chen Jingxian came out of the Tai Palace and sent many things to the East Palace by order.Along with them, there were also eight court ladies with good looks and slender bodies.Song Jingxin couldn't figure out what his father was thinking at all, but now he couldn't get up the energy to make a scene, so he accepted all the rewards wearily.In the eyes of Emperor Xuanqing, this reaction was only regarded as a compromise by the East Palace.

It didn't take too long to deal with the funeral of the princess, but the real murderer was nowhere to be found following Xu's suicide.Song Jingxin couldn't get out of depression, she hid in the East Palace all day drinking, and didn't go to Wenhua Palace anymore.Song Jingshi was worried about his elder brother, and visited the East Palace several times but did not see anyone.After that, Concubine Wen Gui summoned him, but failed to call anyone out. Instead, the prince said that he was ill.

Song Jingxin was really afraid of seeing Song Jingshi, his sister and mother were his unshirkable responsibilities, and nailed him to the icy blade-like height of the prince.The departure of the princess made him feel tired like never before, making him want to escape the blockade of the palace.

The cold wind whipped the branches in the courtyard, and the court lady Rongxiu was wearing a plain cloak and trotted about. She pinched the front of the cloak from the inside, and something was stuffed in the bulging bag.The maidservant behind him hurriedly chased after him, and hurriedly stopped before the prince's bedchamber.Seeing that the door of the palace was open, Rong Xiu stepped over the threshold carefully, and then stretched out a foot to hook the open door back.

The room was dimly lit, Prince Song Jingxin was reclined on the bed drinking cold wine, and did not reprimand anyone who entered.Rongxiu walked up to the prince, and slipped out a little baby who was not yet one year old from her arms.The child was being carried, neither crying nor annoyed, staring at the prince with a pair of big innocent eyes.Song Jingxin put down the jug, followed her daughter's waving little hand with her eyes, but that hand got closer and closer, and finally slapped the man's nose so that he met his eyes.

Song Jingxin raised her head to avoid it, raised her eyes to meet Rongxiu's expression of wanting to smile, and then remembered to scold the palace man: "If you don't know how to hold a baby, let it go, what kind of nanny!"

"Yes!" Rongxiu replied, and threw the little princess into Song Jingxin's arms neatly.

Song Jingxin's hair stood on end immediately, the baby in his hands was so petite that he had never touched before, his hands and feet were so delicate that they seemed about to shatter at the slightest movement.The man straightened his waist nervously, his legs were still bowed and curled up on the bed, and he didn't dare to move.

The little princess was able to stand at this time, she helped her father's stiff arms to sit slowly, and then grabbed the man's skirt and stood up slowly.Song Jingxin was very frightened, afraid of dropping the child, she hastily used both hands to protect her daughter's lower back.The little girl stood firmly, still holding her father's shoulders, and stepped on the man's thigh with both feet.This interesting activity lasted for a long time, and the little girl giggled happily.Song Jingxin gradually relaxed, let out a breath of relief, and the smell of alcohol flooded her daughter's face.

The little girl smelled the wine for the first time, she wrinkled her nose strangely, and slowly approached in search of the smell.The smell emanated from Song Jingxin's mouth and nose. The little girl curiously held her father's head and licked the man's upper lip.

It was salty and spicy, and the princess wrinkled her nose and cried.

"My son, my son..." The two frantically coaxed the child for a long while, until the little girl cried so much that she even forgot why she was crying, then they stopped howling.

Song Jingxin wiped off his cold sweat, and gave Rongxiu a resentful look: "Your skin is itchy, do you want to rebel?"

"Don't dare," Rong Xiu replied lightly, "Your Highness doesn't even go to see the princess."

Song Jingxin was also a little guilty, lately she was only trying to drink away her worries, not only avoiding her mother and sister, but even her own daughter. "Who will take care of the child now?" Song Jingxin realized some tricks to coax the child, and pushed her daughter on her knees.

"It's still the old nanny, Mrs. Zheng." Rongxiu replied, "Your Highness has no will, and you still live in Xu Niangniang's courtyard."

Song Jingxin coughed in embarrassment: "Is someone neglecting you?"

"Then His Highness will have to ask himself," Rong Xiu said in a strange tone, "who knows what other people think of a child whose father doesn't even care about him!"

Song Jingxin was about to tell her something, but the child in her arms couldn't bear it anymore, avoiding the arms of a strange man and going to the ground. "She, she, she..." Song Jingxin supported the child's arm, and began to panic again.

"Your Highness, don't worry, it should be because you are not used to changing places and started looking for someone." Rongxiu said, "This servant called the nanny to come in."

The nurse Zheng was dragged into the hall by Rongxiu, and the child saw a familiar person, and immediately opened his arms, wanting to get out of his father's arms.The nanny came to pick her up in a hurry, and the little girl threw herself into the nanny's arms excitedly, and kicked her father's numb thigh hard before leaving.

Song Jingxin yelled, and raised her eyes quietly, intending to imitate the nanny to hold the child.Unexpectedly, the little girl was still restless in the nurse's arms, she suddenly patted Zheng's shoulder with her little hand, and said a few short "Mo... Mom..."

Mrs. Zheng was so frightened that she hurriedly patted the Princess on the back to comfort her: "Sister and Mammy are going back to the house, Mammy is going to draw a little tiger..."

But the child ignored it, and still called out stubbornly: "Mom...Mom..."

Song Jingxin heard her daughter call for someone for the first time, at first she only thought she pronounced it casually, until she saw the flustered expressions of the nanny and Rongxiu, and realized that the child was looking for Xu.However, the Xu family is dead, even if Song Jingxin is the crown prince, he can't change the Xu family.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the princess is still young, and he will forget about it in a few days." Zheng said in relief.

Song Jingxin sighed, and waved his hand outside: "Let's take the princess back first, and take good care of her. Don't be lazy and neglectful just because the child has no mother."

"Slaves don't dare." Mrs. Zheng bowed slightly while hugging the princess, and slowly backed out.
