While King Jing took Xiao Hua to play around, the Jingzhong side gradually entered a situation where the bow was drawn.
The battle between the Prince's family and the King of Jin's family is becoming more and more obvious. On the bright side, the imperial censor impeached the King of Jin who had been in the capital for a long time and did not return to the fief, which was not reasonable. The King of Jin was naturally not a vegetarian. To fight back against the King of Jin, it was His Majesty's decree to stay in Beijing to recuperate, and to let the King of Jin return to the fief must have His Majesty's decree. What's more, now that His Majesty is sick and has not been able to wake up, how could he who was born a son of man leave at this time. The two parties quarreled so much that they often ripped up their sleeves in the courtroom.
As for the secret disputes, it is even more numerous. For the time being, the prince has a slight advantage because of his position. Of course, the King of Jin is not completely powerless to fight back.
But as time passed, the advantages of the prince became more and more obvious, but the disadvantage of King Jin was obvious. The reason is very simple, the prince is the heir and the elder, and now he is also the prince supervising the country. And King Jin's only backer is temporarily unreliable. Although his accumulated strength is not bad, His Majesty's coma has always been a hidden concern, and people can't help but wonder if this person is really dying.
When His Majesty passed away, the crown prince was the natural successor. King Jin, who had offended the crown prince deeply at that time, would really die without a place to be buried.
King Jin and his subordinates discussed several times, and had to consider the risk of military tactics, and secretly moved in Jinzhou and Qizhou.
***
King Jing and Xiaohua have been staying in this small town called 'Pingzheng' for a few days.
Xiaohua thought about King Jing's plan to go out to play for more than ten days. Now that time has passed, do you want to go back? But King Jing has not moved, and it took two days to play the entire small town before resting for the time being.
I was really tired, so I walked around non-stop to look around. The next day, Xiao Hua and King Jing slept until noon before getting up.
After lunch, the two sat on the couch of the imperial concubine by the window.
Xiaohua glanced at King Jing one after another, and always felt that he was weird today.
"Do you like it here?"
Xiaohua thought that King Jing was asking about this small town. This small town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a quiet environment. On weekdays, the streets are not crowded, but when there are morning and evening markets, it is extremely lively. The folk customs are simple and simple, and you can always see the smiling people on the street, and you will be greeted with a pleasant atmosphere.
"like."
"You and the children will stay here for a while, and I will come and pick you up after a while?"
Xiao Hua's smiling face suddenly froze.
After a long while, she asked, "Why?"
King Jing's always indifferent eyes suddenly couldn't be maintained anymore. I have been thinking about an excuse for a long time in my heart, but when I use it, I find that I can't say it at all.
He could only turn his face away and whisper, "Don't ask."
"Why don't you ask?"
Xiao Hua's tone was a little aggressive.
She knew that this kind of attitude was not good, but when King Jing's words came out, she always had a very ominous feeling in her heart. That feeling made her heart pound in her chest, and she couldn't help but start to panic.
King Jing's expression was a little embarrassed, he pulled her over and held her in his arms, "You are obedient, I will come to pick you up in a few days."
"Why don't you ask?"
"Why should you listen?"
"Why? Why exactly?"
This series of questions made King Jing unable to speak for a long time, so he could only keep stroking her back with his big palm.
For the first time, Xiaohua resisted this comfort, broke free, and looked at him stubbornly.
King Jing didn't go to see her, but said, "You are obedient, and you live here with your child for a while, and the people who are waiting in the west courtyard will be sent over immediately, so it won't be inconvenient."
"You know that's not what I'm asking, why is that? Why?"
Xiaohua, who had never quarreled with King Jing, was the first time her words were so intense and her emotions were so excited that she even became a little hysterical. As he spoke, tears flowed out of his mouth.
"Give me the reason!"
King Jing, who had always been calm and never changed his face when Mount Tai collapsed, had never been so embarrassed in his two lifetimes, and he didn't even dare to look at her face.
Mingming had planned it a long time ago. There are many things in Mingming's house. It was clearly agreed that it would only take ten days, but he delayed it again and again and left everything behind. He just wanted to accompany her more, but he didn't know what to do. Export…
"Say it!"
The sound was so loud that King Jing's heart trembled, and both Lilac and Chuncao outside the door were terrified.
Is this a quarrel
Madam and His Royal Highness have always had a good relationship. The two of them never even blushed. They were very happy to go out to play this time. Why did they suddenly quarrel
Lilac patted the spring grass and motioned her to listen, while she turned around to think of something.
"Why don't you talk? Does it have something to do with hiding the child?!"
King Jing looked embarrassed and looked at Xiao Hua with tears all over his face.
"is not it?"
In fact, Xiaohua had already guessed in her heart. She had always wondered why he acted so strangely, especially when it came to her and her two children.
The enlarged west courtyard was obviously beautiful, but it gave her the feeling of a bird cage. There is everything, nothing is lacking, and anything you want can be delivered to you. There is a gate outside the gate. Not everyone can come in, and not everyone inside can go out. Only a few can go out.
In fact, Xiaohua knows all about it.
It's just that he didn't want her to know, so she pretended not to know. The time he said he didn't want the child to be known by outsiders was the first time he leaked it, and since then she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Now this anxiety has finally come to fruition, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
She knew that he didn't want to abandon the three of them and not want them, but why
Xiaohua didn't dare to guess, because when she guessed, she couldn't help but tremble...
"Did something happen?" she could only ask him in a trembling voice.
"Don't ask."
Faintly, there was a hint of begging on King Jing's always indifferent face, which made Xiao Hua couldn't help but roll down a string of tears.
"Okay, I won't ask." Xiaohua wiped her tears and said, "But don't leave me and my two children behind."
King Jing sighed silently and said, "You are obedient..."
Before the words were finished, Yiyi's voice called 'Father, Mother' came from outside the door.
"The young master and the young lady are arguing for Madam and His Royal Highness."
Lilac and Chuncao hugged Ye'er and Yiyi, and walked in with worry in their eyes. When Yiyi and Yeer saw their mother and father, they both stretched out their hands to hug.
Xiaohua took Yiyi, threw it into King Jing's arms, hugged Shu'er again, and let Lilac and Chuncao go out.
"Yiyi, Ye'er, father doesn't want us anymore..."
After saying this, Xiaohua began to cry, crying quite pitifully.
The two children were stunned when they saw their mother cry. The baby who was less than two years old knew what to do, and when she saw her mother crying, she began to cry. Yiyi cried very loudly, hugging King Jing's neck while crying, "Father, please don't."
Ye Er wiped Xiao Hua's face with her small hand, and looked at King Jing with tears in her eyes.
For a while, the room was filled with the cries of the three mothers.
King Jing was at a loss, not knowing how to react.
"No, no, no, no..." After all this time, I only know what to say.
Xiaohua was stubborn, "Then let's go back to the house?"
"You're obedient..."
Before she could say anything after being obedient, Xiaohua began to cry again, "In the future, Yiyi and Ye'er will be children who no one cares about. Father, don't want us anymore..."
"Don't think blindly."
King Jing hangs Xiao Yiyi around his neck, sits next to Xiao Hua, wraps his arms around her, and strokes her hair.
"It's for other reasons that you stay here for a while. After a while, I'll come to pick you up and the child."
"you're lying!"
King Jing's face stiffened, and he wiped his face helplessly. Well, he did lie.
The plan was there a long time ago, from the moment she had a baby. The situation is getting more and more tense now. Although everything is going according to his thoughts, he is really not sure what will happen in the end.
He could bet on anything, but he couldn't bet on her and the two children. That's why there is this trip. King Jing has even thought about it for a long time, and they live here without any worries. If it succeeds, he will come to pick them up, and if it fails, the future has already been arranged.
No outsiders know about the child, so naturally there will be no investigation, and she, he has already arranged it, and she can escape from the shell at that time.
As for himself, King Jing has already planned the ending for himself. If things fail, he has no other way except death. In fact, he could escape with her and the child as King Yun said. But as he said, there is no king in the world, and there is no king on the coast of the land. If he can't find his body, the pursuit will never stop. How could he be willing to let her and the child live forever? in flight? !
What's more, his dignity, which belongs to the royal family, does not allow him to do this kind of behavior.
"You really lied! Luo Jing, you are so bad, I treat you with all my heart, you have brought up such a big child, yet you lied to me. Do you want to reconnect with the princess and think we are an eyesore? Just say it straight, don't lie."
Xiaohua knew that she was messing around, but if she didn't mess around, she couldn't think of any way to dispel the stubborn man's plan.
"Don't think about it, no."
King Jing once heard a saying that women are all messing around, and they are best at crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves.
It was his martial arts master Yan Manzi who gave him such knowledge. He always complained in front of him that the women in the family were too difficult to deal with. There are also some generals in the mansion who have female relatives, who have also discussed this kind of thing, and he has heard it.
Having been with Xiao Hua'er for so long, he once thought that what those people said was nonsense, because his Xiao Hua'er was very understanding and sensible, and she could not help but feel distressed when she was sensible. But only now did he realize that the words of 'Senior' were not without reason.
Is Xiao Hua'er's behavior called harassment
"Then take us home."
"No." King Jing, who said he couldn't win against the woman, could only choose the way of speaking that was most suitable for him, and refused very decisively.
"Okay, we live here and won't go back."
King Jing was surprised and somewhat relieved, but Xiao Hua's next sentence broke his absurd thought.
"You walk on the front foot, and I will jump into the river with the child on the back foot!"
In King Jing's astonished eyes, these words just popped out of Xiao Hua's mouth, which even gave King Jing a sense of absurdity.
"Anyway, you don't want us anymore. Children without fathers are very pitiful. It's better to die."
This is the ultimate trick, is it three hangings? Just hang yourself and jump into the river with your child instead
A mess of thoughts flashed in his mind, King Jing hugged her helplessly again, "Don't be ridiculous."
"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth."
A man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from the palace."
King Jing let go of the hand holding Xiaohua and sat upright, "Come in."
Lin Qingting walked in and saw a rather magical scene.
The rumored Madam Hua was sitting on the couch holding the little master half-side, while His Royal Highness sat next to the other little master hanging from her neck. She had a very serious sitting posture and a very majestic expression, but because there was more on her neck. A little girl who is still flirting with her is a bit more bizarre.
He didn't dare to read more, and handed the letter to King Jing.
King Jing did not take Fushun with him on this trip, but only brought with him a dozen or so confidants, Yiwei. I originally wanted to stay here to protect her and her two children, but the plan was not as fast as changing, so I couldn't convince her.
After reading the letter, King Jing's expression became solemn. He waved his hand, and Lin Qingting retreated.
King Jing looked sideways at her, who was twisting around, and at his daughter, who was wiping tears from her neck.
"You really don't want to live here?"
Xiaohua is turning over and facing him, Yingying's eyes are full of tears, "Go back to the house with His Royal Highness."
There was another sigh that was almost silent, and after a long time, King Jing nodded helplessly.
King Jing rushed back to the mansion, so he didn't waste time, and quickly ordered to set off.
Along the way, Xiaohua was in a trance state, she only knew that she would not lose King Jing's hand tightly. King Jing told her several times that he would definitely take her back, but she didn't let go, as if he was always afraid that he was lying to her and left their mother and son behind.
It wasn't until she returned to the familiar western courtyard that Xiaohua let go of her heart that had been hanging in the air for a long time, but she soon stopped laughing because she saw an unexpected person.
"Why are you here?"
The author has something to say: ps: high-energy warning, the next chapter will be bloody.
In fact, this pot of dog blood was prepared back then, and if Xiaohua thinks about it, it means that I really had foresight back then. hey-hey…
