Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 118: Chasing the Reason

The concubine finally woke up, and Cui Zhu drank the medicine for her, then fell asleep again.

Shui Rong gradually calmed down, and he called Cuizhu.

Cui Zhu stood below in a dignified manner, waiting for her master's instruction.

Shui Rong sat down in an armchair. What happened one after another these days made him exhausted physically and mentally, and he described himself as a bit haggard.It's just that he doesn't have time to take care of himself at the moment.

"Princess, she is not in good health, you need to worry more. Her temperament has not changed much over the years, she is still sick, but she is still so strong. When her body is a little better, you will also persuade her, don't let her go from bed every day. From morning to night, I only know how to chant sutras and Buddhas. People like us can’t afford it.”

Cuizhu listened, thought for a while, summoned up her courage, and replied cautiously: "My lord, we are slaves, these words shouldn't be said logically..."

Seeing her stammering, Shui Rong hurriedly said, "Say what you want."

Cuizhu knelt down in front of Shui Rong with a plop, and said with her face up: "My lord, our mother is a hard-working person. The lord should take care of her more. Although she sometimes has a bad temper, her heart is still in the palace after all. There are so many people here. Things that can't be let go. My lady will not go out of this way of home. Although she had thought about it before, the nunnery master in the Bodhi nunnery also persuaded her to let go. The queen's illness is also clear to the prince, and it is all due to heart disease. I am afraid that this heart disease will only be solved by the prince. After all, there is still most of my life, and we also hope that the empress can live more easily."

Shui Rong touched the bridge of his nose habitually, then crossed his hands together, listened carefully to Cui Zhu's words, and said to her: "Get up and talk." He glanced at her again, this is the girl Wang Hao brought from her natal home, It is said that she has been with her for many years, and she knows a lot of things after thinking about it. Shui Rong changed into a more comfortable posture, put her right hand on the armrest, looked very calm, and asked her slowly: "I'm a little worried about your concubine's heart disease." I know a little bit, and I know it’s all because of me, but I’m not very clear about the various relationships in it. Every time I come to her, I want to ask for clarification. I’m fed up with her temper. Can you tell me ?"

Cuizhu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't know how to speak, she was a clever person, she knew that there were some things she couldn't say.If the concubine hadn't spoken in person, she, a servant girl, would never go and gossip. Now that the master is asking, it's hard to pretend not to know, so he can only answer vaguely: "Actually, after all these years, I shouldn't bring it up again, maybe I won't mention it again." After a few years, the empress will let go of it in her heart."

"I don't want to wait a few more years and want to know what's going on right away. Tell me everything you know." Shui Rongxin thought of this step, and he didn't want to hear any more excuses. What exactly is this crime? As the person involved, he has to understand what he bears.

Cuizhu thought to herself that the princess's illness was all caused by this incident, and now only the prince can untie the knot, only in this way can the princess' illness be cured.Cui Zhu weighed the pros and cons quickly, and then slowly told the whole story of that year, as well as about the man named Shi Jian.

Except for Cuizhu's voice, the room was silent.Shui Rong held his breath in order to listen to a lengthy story, he frowned for a while, touched his nose for a while, and crossed his legs for a while.Until Cui Zhu finished the whole story, Shui Rong finally raised his head, he said: "So I killed that man, but why I don't know anything about it, even if people check it?"

Cui Zhu lowered her head and said: "Maybe the prince didn't know about it, it was an unintentional mistake, maybe there was some misunderstanding in the middle. These years, the princess has never let go of it, so..."

Shui Rong said: "I see. She mentioned such a person to me. If I really owe her something, I will find a way to repay her and make it up to her. It doesn't matter even if I continue to hate me. She has been here for a few years, and I But I've never understood her, it's my fault." Shui Rong held her head angrily, and the expression on her face couldn't tell whether it was remorse, apology, or pain.

Seeing the prince like this, Cui Zhu couldn't bear it, Shui Rong said: "Go down and serve me well."

"Yes!" Cuizhu said a blessing and withdrew.

Shui Rong sat there blankly for a long time without moving, thinking about this matter several times.He planned to send someone to Meng Yilai to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At dusk, Han Qi came.He looked at his sister first, and then gave some instructions: "Sister, why is she sick, and the wife said to come to see you?"

The princess seemed a little uneasy: "You go back and say that I am not sick, and I don't need to work hard for my wife."

Seeing that his expression was still haggard and sick, Han Qi said distressedly: "It seems that my sister's illness is not serious, and my wife is not at ease. I may still come. Is my sister afraid of seeing my wife? Is it happening?" What's the matter?" Han Qi wondered for a while, his sister's illness came suddenly and strangely, and he didn't know what the reason might be.

The princess dodged her eyes, she didn't want to hear her mother's nagging.

Han Qi still wanted to say a few words, but at this moment, people on the porch reported that the princess was coming, and Han Qi hurriedly got up to avoid it.

The princess said: "Since when did you avoid it?"

Han Qi said: "I dare not provoke this princess."

When he was about to go around the door and go out through the back door, Dunhui had already entered the house.It was already impossible for Han Qi to leave immediately, so he could only turn around and smile with him, "Greetings to the princess."

Dun Hui didn't even look at him, she went straight to the princess bed, half bent her body and asked in concern, "How is sister-in-law today?"

The princess felt her body was weak, but she was still in good spirits. She smiled and reached out to touch Dunhui's forehead: "Running back and forth every day, you have to pay attention to your body, don't get tired."

Dun Hui smiled and said, "I'm tired. My sister-in-law is sick, and I feel sorry for you. You and my brother..." Seeing Han Qi in front of her again, she didn't say the following words.

The princess thought to herself that these two little fellows hadn't said anything, could they still be arguing about a small porcelain rabbit?She called Han Qi to her side, and said earnestly, "Han Qi, what happened last time was your fault. Now, in front of me, you solemnly apologize to the princess. The two of you are not allowed to quarrel."

Seeing that her sister was still favoring the princess at this time, Han Qi felt dissatisfied, but because of her sister's face, she had to make an apology to the princess with both hands.Dun Hui stood up reluctantly and replied: "This matter is over, let's get over it."

The concubine smiled and said: "The two children are in a family, don't make any more awkward arguments, they are all a family, don't make people laugh."

After coming out of the concubine's room, Dunhui walked out of Yiyuan, and Han Qi chased after her: "I didn't mean to have trouble with the princess."

Dun Hui looked back at him, and asked him with a smile: "I don't understand what you said?"

Han Qi said: "I just think that sister is biased and only defends the princess. The last time I was a little reckless. These days I searched for a lot of places, and finally found a pair. Don't look at the princess." Said Then, he took out a pair of snow-white porcelain rabbits from his clothes. Their appearance was quite different from the damaged pair, but they were also naive and cute.

After Dunhui stretched it out, Han Qi put it in Dunhui's palm, and asked her with a smile, "Why do you like rabbits?"

Dun Hui smiled and said, "It's very simple, I'm a rabbit."

Han Qi nodded: "No wonder, if you like raising them, I'll give you a pair of live ones."

Dun Hui quickly waved her hand: "Don't raise it, I don't like to take care of it. My brother gave me a pair when I was young, and they died after a short life. They are harder to take care of than people." Then she walked away.

Later Han Qi found his brother-in-law, and Shui Rong was anxious about the princess.I was in no mood to greet him.

Han Qi saw some clues: "Is brother-in-law worried about my sister's illness? By the way, what is my sister's illness? I can't find anything from asking the maids."

Shui Rong said: "The imperial doctor just said that the spirit is not enough and needs rest. It will be fine after a while."

Only then did Han Qi breathe a sigh of relief: "That's fine. I just went to see my sister. The situation is not ideal. I wonder if my sister has something on her mind. There are some things that I can't say as a younger brother. It's just brother-in-law..."

Shui Rong said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Han Qi scratched his head: "You and my sister, do you have any prejudices?"

"Prejudice?" Shui Rong wanted to say, if the prejudice were so simple, it wouldn't be so stiff, she was full of hatred for herself.

Han Qi said: "When my sister was at home, it was completely different from now. She used to love to dress up and be lively. Why did she become different after she became the princess? She was not angry at all when she was young. Vigorous. Is my sister really suffering from infertility?"

Shui Rong glanced at Han Qi blankly, wondering if he should say something or not.

Han Qi went on to say: "I see that my brother-in-law is also a man of temperament. If you say that there are no other female relatives in this palace, the prince has no reason to neglect my sister so much."

Shui Rong gave a wry smile: "Is it cold, she only hates me."

Han Qi was very surprised, with a puzzled look on his face.

Shui Rong smiled sadly: "It's all because of that man. I'm not as good as a dead person while I'm alive."

Han Qi's body trembled, and he felt that his palms were sweating coldly. Could it be that after all these years, her sister hadn't let go of the past, and she lost her life's happiness, which was really not worth it.Thinking about the past, Han Qi seemed to understand the reason.But he didn't want to reveal the past in front of his brother-in-law, so he kept his mouth shut.

A person as intelligent as Shui Rong felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "My brother-in-law, do you know that person surnamed Shi?"

Han Qi repeatedly shook his head in denial: "No, I don't know. I don't know anything. Don't ask brother-in-law."

Han Qi's behavior made Shui Rong even more suspicious. He thought to himself, could there be some terrifying conspiracy behind this?Or is it involving someone, isn't it his sister?Shui Rong thought to himself that he was covering up for his sister, so Shui Rong didn't continue to ask, he thought that the truth would always come to light, maybe that day was not far away.

Han Qi left in a hurry, and Shui Rong didn't go to see him off either.He has to figure this out thoroughly.
