sick princess

"Your Highness Seventh, the past few days, the master has stayed by your bed whenever he is free, and he doesn't want to go anywhere. It is inconvenient for you to eat while you are unconscious, so the master personally cooks a nourishing soup and pours it into you one mouthful at a time. After you drink it, the master will be in the mood to eat a few mouthfuls. The master has really treated you with all his heart and soul." Mo Zhu, Concubine Zhou's confidant, said aside.

It is inconvenient for Concubine Zhou to speak some words, and they, who are slaves, have to help Concubine Zhou speak out.It is necessary for the Seventh Prince to know that their master is good.

"Are you mother and son? Although we haven't seen each other for several years, if anything happens to you, the one who worries about you the most is the master." The maid Mo Qin also chimed in.These days, Mo Qin has been serving the unconscious Seventh Prince.

Although Mo Qin is not as reliable as Mo Zhu's Concubine Zhou, she also knows that Concubine Zhou's greatest wish is to win the Seventh Prince's heart back.In this case, the Seventh Prince must know that although he lost his adoptive mother, there is still a mother who loves him more and cares more about him.

The Seventh Prince is still so young, and he is sad at this moment. If Concubine Zhou takes good care of him and comforts him with a gentle voice, over time, he will naturally be able to win the Seventh Prince's heart back.

"What are you talking about? I only need my Xiao Qi to recover well, and the rest is not important anymore."

The Seventh Prince lowered his eyes, of course he knew why Mo Qin and Mo Zhu said these words in front of him.However, he is really not in the mood to be hypocritical with Concubine Zhou now.

His mother and concubine's bones are still not cold, is it really appropriate for Zhou Guifei to be so eager to perform motherly kindness and filial piety with him?

"Xiaoqi, are you tired?" Concubine Zhou quickly noticed the downcast expression of the seventh prince and the tiredness in his brows: "It's all my mother's fault, seeing you wake up, I'm so excited, I'm pulling you to say this That's right, I forgot that Xiao Qi is still sick now."

"Xiao Qi, you can sleep for a while, the concubine mother will watch you sleep. Concubine mother will leave after you fall asleep." Concubine Zhou looked at the seventh prince lovingly: "When you wake up later, concubine mother will personally Drink the chicken soup I made for you."

When Concubine Zhou only wanted to win someone's favor, it was too easy.Her eyes are so sincere, her tenderness is so heart-warming, and her care is so meticulous.

At this moment, even the Seventh Prince couldn't tell, how much of Concubine Zhou Gui's concern for him was sincere, and how much was out of self-interest.

The Seventh Prince suddenly wanted to see how many different faces the Concubine Zhou could have.

Did the person in front of him kill his mother and concubine with such a gentle and loving face and such a pair of hands that tucked his quilt?

The Seventh Prince really wanted to speak out his doubts directly, and really wanted to find out the truth himself.But from the moment his mother and concubine passed away, he knew that he had lost the right to be willful.

……

Although Emperor Zhaode suspected that he had fallen in love with Concubine Zhou because of Li Ronghua's matter, and recently picked his nose and eyes at Concubine Zhou, he still cared about his son after all.

After visiting the Seventh Prince in Changchun Palace several times, Emperor Zhaode was very satisfied with Concubine Zhou: "Alan, you take good care of Xiao Qi."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhou quietly blushed. She turned her head away to prevent Emperor Zhaode from seeing her embarrassing appearance, but she didn't know that the sideways face made people feel more pitiful: "Your Majesty, you How long has it been since you called your concubine by name?"

Emperor Zhaode sighed, and embraced Concubine Zhou into his arms.

Concubine Zhou clutched Emperor Zhaode's skirt tightly, as if she was afraid of losing it in the next moment. This appearance of worrying about gains and losses made Emperor Zhaode feel more distressed: "Alan..."

Concubine Zhou wiped away the tears from her cheeks, withdrew from Emperor Zhaode's embrace, and blessed her body to Emperor Zhaode: "The concubine can't help herself at the moment...Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Xiaoqi is the concubine's flesh and blood. It is the concubine's duty to take care of Xiaoqi. The concubine dare not take the credit. In the past few days, Xiaoqi has been depressed, and he still thinks about concubine Shu. The emperor might as well go in. , to talk to Xiao Qi for a while. Xiao Qi has always respected the emperor the most, if the emperor comforts him a few words, it will definitely be more useful than a hundred words from a concubine."

At this moment, Emperor Zhaode's doubts about Concubine Zhou faded a lot.

Such a mother who cares about her child should not commit murder and seize her child.After all, everyone knew that doing so would make the Seventh Prince very sad.

Emperor Zhaode was even thinking, if he had allowed Concubine Zhou to bring the Seventh Prince back to the Changchun Palace to raise him, would such a regrettable thing not have happened, would Concubine Shu still be able to live at this time? Well, the seventh prince can also have two concubines to love him.

Emperor Zhaode, who was thinking like this, didn't know that for a mother, she would never give up her child.At that time, if Emperor Zhaode really asked Concubine Zhou to bring the Seventh Prince back to Changchun Palace, Concubine Shu would have tried her best to stop it.Concubine Zhou wants to take the Seventh Prince away?All right, step over her dead body first.

The Seventh Prince saw the scene of Emperor Zhaode and Concubine Zhou comforting each other through the window lattice, and felt very ironic in his heart.

The person who really needs comfort has fallen asleep forever.What are these two people like now?Are you self-satisfied?

In the past, the Seventh Prince admired Emperor Zhaode very much. In order to get a compliment from Emperor Zhaode, the Seventh Prince could study hard and perform better than his brothers.

But at this moment, Emperor Zhaode's image of being wise and majestic collapsed in the heart of the Seventh Prince.

"Little master, why did you come here? The servant was still looking for you just now. You are still very weak and cannot move around at will."

The voice of the court lady Mo Qin interrupted the mutual complaint between Concubine Zhou Gui and Emperor Zhaode.

Concubine Zhou looked in the direction of the Seventh Prince with concern: "Xiao Qi, why are you out? Go back and lie down, your current body can't stand the cold."

The Seventh Prince showed a weak smile at Concubine Zhou Gui and Emperor Zhaode: "I heard that Emperor Father is coming, so I wanted to come to the door to welcome Emperor Father."

Emperor Zhaode was quite moved, and hugged the Seventh Prince: "My little Qi is really a good and filial child. Concubine, you have given birth to a good son for me."

Concubine Zhou Gui stood beside Emperor Zhaode, with a slight smile on her face: "It is said that Zi Xiao is his father, and it is precisely because the emperor sets an example for Xiao Qi that Xiao Qi can be so sensible at such a young age. , everything is due to the emperor."

The Seventh Prince tried his best to bury his face in Emperor Zhaode's arms, so that he didn't have to look at those two false faces.

Mother, have you seen it?Xiaoqi also finally learned to lie and pretend.Even if Xiao Qi hates the people in front of her so much in her heart, now, Xiao Qi can pretend to like them very much.

Concubine Mu, from now on, you don't have to worry in heaven, Xiaoqi will take care of herself.

……

"Princess, the Seventh Prince is asking to see you." Bi Yao walked to Baoluo's side and said.

Baoluo's hand holding the pen paused: "Let him in."

Baoluo and the Seventh Prince didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays, that is, when the Sixth Prince found fault in the study room, she just helped the Seventh Prince with a few words.Now, the Seventh Prince suddenly came to her, probably because of Concubine Shu.

After the Seventh Prince came in, Baoluo found that he had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Concubine Shu originally raised him very well, his cheeks were chubby, and he was chubby and cute like a lotus root doll.The Seventh Prince's eyes are always like a pool of clear springs, and he can see to the end.

But now, the flesh on the Seventh Prince's cheeks has rapidly diminished, and the eyes on that small face have become deeper.Some of the vigor and vitality in her body seemed to have been taken away with Concubine Shu's departure.

Baoluo shook her head secretly, in this palace, it is simply a luxury to live a peaceful life without fighting or grabbing.

Even Concubine Shu, a high-ranking concubine who entered the palace in her early years and had a relatively stable position, ended up like this, let alone the rest.

"Whatever you want to ask, just say it directly." Baoluo cut to the chase.

The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment, and said: "Does the emperor know who killed my mother and concubine?"

"Why do you think I know?" Baoluo looked at the Seventh Prince who was a head shorter than her in surprise.

"Major events in the palace probably cannot be hidden from the eyes of the emperor." The seventh prince pursed his lips: "If it weren't for the emperor's puppy, I am afraid that other people would not be able to find clues about the murder of my mother and concubine. So I think Miss Huang should know who is behind the scenes."

"The case is closed. The person who killed Concubine Shu was Li Ronghua."

"I don't believe it. Don't take me as a fool. Don't think that I don't know the rumors in the palace. I just want to know..." The seventh prince trembled, and said, "Is it Zhou who killed my mother and concubine?" Concubine, is there anyone else involved?"

No matter how much you don't like Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou is the birth mother of the Seventh Prince.When saying this sentence, the Seventh Prince's feelings are very complicated.

Baoluo looked at the Seventh Prince quietly, as if to see through his inner thoughts: "What kind of answer do you hope to get from me? If the person who killed Concubine Shu was really Concubine Zhou, you What are you going to do? To avenge your adoptive mother and kill your biological mother?"

"I...I...I don't know..." The Seventh Prince closed his eyes, clenched his small fists tightly, and showed a look of struggle on his face.

Still a child after all.No matter how precocious you are, you will still be confused, hesitant, and at a loss when faced with such a choice.

Baoluo sighed: "Look, even if I tell you the answer now, you don't know what you can do."

"Seventh emperor brother, what is the most important thing to you? Mother's love, father's praise, boundless future, or revenge for Concubine Shu? You can think about it carefully."

"When you have the answer, you can come to me again."
