Concubine Hu was stiff all over, and it took a while to push Feng Heizi away.
She almost didn't fall when she got on the bed, a coldness slid down her legs, she wiped it casually with a handkerchief in disgust, and put on her clothes.
She didn't dare to procrastinate, and went to the side room to call for someone. Even though there were three women and a baby boy, it was enough to get Feng Heizi into the mule cart and take him away.
The coachman had been sent away long ago, leaving only the car, which was out of consideration for returning to the city. Taohong said that she used to drive a donkey cart at home when she was a child, but she didn't expect to drive a mule cart well.
On the way, passing a steep cliff, Hu Choufei and Taohong joined hands and threw Feng Heizi down. Even if someone finds out in the future, I'm not afraid, not to mention that Concubine Hu ruined Feng Heizi's face in the carriage before, and threw it in such a place where birds don't shit, she should have rotted by the time someone finds out.
Tao Shan hugged the child and sat beside her shivering, but she didn't even dare to cry. Because Concubine Hu's expression at this time is too terrifying, with a kind of cruelty that is almost at the end of the road. On the other hand, although Tao Hong's face was a little pale, she was quite calm.
The three of them drove away in a hurry, but they didn't notice a few people coming from the place where they stayed just now. These people got off their horses and went down the cliff.
After returning to the city, the three of them parted ways, Tao Shan took the children and hired a car to return to the hometown, while Concubine Hu and Tao Hong returned to the palace.
Except that his complexion was a little pale, he was the same as usual.
However, Concubine Hu had another nightmare at night and couldn't sleep well all night.
On the other side, at Chaohui Hall, Yaoniang would go there every day, and would leave after serving King Jin. Even if Fucheng kept her, she would not listen, preferring to run every time.
Turning his head to look at His Highness with a dark face, Fu Cheng didn't know what to say.
His Highness is clearly awake, but he still pretends to be unconscious, just to tease him for fun, isn't it? Fortunately, this Mrs. Su is shallow-minded, otherwise she might have run away and disappeared.
On this day, Concubine Hu suddenly came to Rongxi Courtyard.
It was a rare smile, Yaoniang was vigilant, but it was hard for the other party to speak out when she smiled. What's more, she is a concubine, and the other party is a side concubine, so it stands to reason that she should be respectful.
But even if she was asked to laugh with her, she couldn't laugh. She hadn't forgotten how the side concubine Hu treated her before, not to mention the old grudge between the two of them in their previous life.
In the past, Yaoniang wanted to stay in the palace, so she cared about the face of both parties, but now she is in danger, and she might leave at some point, so she is naturally too lazy to act like this again.
But in the eyes of Concubine Hu, it was the other party who relied on King Jin's favor and ignored her.
Concubine Hu hated even more in her heart, but on the surface she was talking to Yao Niang calmly.
As he talked, he talked about the previous incident. Naturally, he stepped on Concubine Xu, showing that he was also deceived by others. Now I know that someone deliberately caused trouble, and I feel guilty for hurting people with bad words that day, so I came here to accompany you.
Concubine Hu has never been a person who is willing to lie down and be a small person, Yaoniang can't help being surprised, but she can't directly ask people what her intentions are, so she can only be careful.
Concubine Hu didn't do anything else to cause suspicion, she still had a warm smile on her face, and took out many clothes and toys worn by the baby, saying they were for Xiaobao. Afterwards, accompanied by Yaoniang, he went down to see Xiaobao, and then left.
After Concubine Hu left, Yaoniang thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what her purpose was. Knowing that she was not smart, she asked Yuchan who was always by her side.
Yuchan pondered for a while, and said: "The side concubine probably knows that His Highness loves Madam in his heart, and this is to show you his favor."
Maybe, really
but love...
Hu Fangfei's hands under her sleeves couldn't stop shaking.
I really hate that I was blind before and didn't notice that little brat. Now I go to see the child with something in mind, the outline and facial features are very similar to King Jin, especially the eyes, they are exactly the same.
She couldn't help but think of what she said earlier that she ridiculed that kid as a bastard. It is not the child who is the wild species, but her little princess.
No, her little princess is not a bastard! As long as that child is gone, she is not!
Hu Choufei's face was smeared, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed. Tao Hong's eyes flashed behind her, and she didn't speak.
For the whole afternoon, Concubine Hu had a thoughtful look on her face.
Tao Hong hesitated to speak, but didn't say anything.
Concubine Hu looked at her: "Did you hear what happened that day?"
Tao Hong shook her head first, then she nodded, she couldn't hold on any longer.
In fact, how could it be possible not to hear? Feng Heizi is a big man, and Hu Fangfei is just a weak woman. If something really happened, it is still uncertain who will kill who, so Taohong has been guarding outside the door.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant will never tell anyone." Tao Hong's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Concubine Hu helped her up: "I believe that you are loyal to me, otherwise I wouldn't take you there that day. But—" She changed her voice and said: "You and I will be prosperous and we will be damaged. , if you treat me faithfully, I will naturally treat you well. But you also know that my mother and daughter are in danger now, and I didn't intend to make mistakes, but the heavens are really tricking people, so it's so strange, how did such a coincidence happen? thing."
As she spoke, she began to sob: "If people know about this...someone will know about it. I went to see that brat today, and he was astonishingly similar to His Highness. Those people were so blind that they didn't notice it. On the contrary, they really took it for granted A bastard hides from sight."
"What should I do?" Tao Hong also had a worried and sad expression on her face.
Concubine Hu covered her with a handkerchief, and glanced at her: "If people really find out that the little princess is a fake, then it will not only be me, but you, as my personal girl, will definitely not be able to escape, and you must be silenced My son, attempting to confuse the royal blood is a serious crime against the nine clans."
Tao Hong was so frightened that she trembled all over, she kept muttering: "Your Majesty, what can I do, you have to find a way."
"I don't know what to do." Hu Fangfei sighed, frowned and thought hard for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "For the current plan, the only way to do it is to act first."
Tao Hong was shocked, but after the intimidation just now, she didn't seem to be so hard to accept.
She also seemed to be angry, her face was pale with fear, but she still said: "Your Majesty, what should you do, I will obey you."
"I reckoned to prescribe some medicine or something, even the big ones and the young ones were taken care of together. Because Rongxi Courtyard has a small kitchen, it's not easy to do it. Especially the atmosphere in the mansion is not quite right recently, and there are more people I'm afraid something will happen if we act rashly..." Concubine Hu frowned in thought, apparently really thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Tao Hong hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, please don't think about it, not to mention whether the poison is good or not, just how to get it is a headache, and there are too many people who have dealt with it, and it may be exposed. .”
"Then what do you say?"
"Isn't the root cause of that child? Anyway, Mrs. Su doesn't know that the person who raped her back then was His Highness, and His Highness doesn't know that Mrs. Su was that person back then. Why don't we steal the child, or sell it or sell it?" If she threw it away, such a small child doesn't remember anything. As for Mrs. Su, she is nothing without the child, and no one can find out about it."
Concubine Hu's eyes sparkled when she heard it, but she still hesitated: "Is this possible?"
"The child is small, and the goal is also small. Put it in any box and take it out. The girl who waits on the child is called Axia, and she has a good relationship with a little girl from the same town as the slave girl. When the time comes, use some fruit flowers or something to take the child away. If you draw the little girl away, even if you are really exposed, at worst, just say that you are curious about this child, and no one can find anything wrong."
Hu Fangfei probably went to the doctor in a hurry, so she actually believed Tao Hong's words.
Afterwards, Taohong said to go to the little sister from the same village, and gave her a handful of silver pistols to give to others.
Xiaobao is not in good spirits these days and is always sick.
In the past, A-Xia would make him laugh, or take him out to play, but these days A-Xia doesn't know what's on her mind, and she seems to be preoccupied. Here in the West Wing, it is difficult to see the usual laughter and laughter, Chun'er and Nanny He are also silent.
"If you don't take the young master out to play today, it's not a problem to be so bored all the time." Nanny He said.
Although Nanny He is a nanny, but because of the unusual relationship between Axia and Yaoniang, Axia is the main one in the West Wing.
A-Xia also realized that she had been a bit wasted these few days, glanced at Xiaobao who was crawling there listlessly, and walked over with vigor. She put on a big smile and asked: "Young master, will this servant take you to see Yuyu?"
Naturally, Xiaobao couldn't answer her, so Axia asked Chun'er to help pack her things, and took Xiaobao out.
There is a small garden next to the Rongxi Court. The place is not big, but the scenery is good, and there is a pond of koi.
In fact, the scenery in Rongxi Courtyard is not bad, but Xiaobao's identity is unusual, he is the son of the man in front of Yaoniang. Although the king of Jin tacitly allowed him to be raised by Yaoniang's side, it was always a thorn in the end, maybe when the king of Jin would come and meet him, so Axia usually took Xiaobao out to play, never in the Rongxi courtyard, but I will come to this small garden.
In fact, Yaoniang didn't mean this, it was just Axia's own interpretation.
For this A-Xia, Xiaobao thinks it's quite amusing. She usually sees her chirping innocently, but sometimes when she sees her behave in certain ways, it doesn't look like someone with this kind of character.
Of course, this was his previous thought. After coming to Rongxi Courtyard, because she always made him hide her back intentionally or unintentionally, he became a little subtle. Especially since it was revealed that day that he was actually a prostitute, A-Xia didn't like to let him go out. Sometimes Nanny He or Chun'er wanted to take him out, but she would always stop him.
When I asked her why, she didn't say anything, she seemed hesitant to speak.
Xiaobao felt even more uncomfortable.
Could it be that she was wrong? No, he obviously helped keep the secret for his own good and his mother's good. His existence is indeed a thorn in Father's heart, especially after that incident, those who are sensible should honestly stay behind closed doors.
Xiao Bao could only feel bad about it, and even wondered if he was being overwhelmed.
A-Xia asked Chun'er to tear up the steamed buns she brought and scatter them down. After a while, all the fish came swimming.
Xiaobao could also see that Axia was trying to make himself happy. Even though he was clearly not interested, he still pretended to point at the pool with his chubby finger and babbled.
Seeing that Xiao Bao was happy, A-Xia also had a smile all over her face. While chatting with him, she took a steamed bun and tore it up for him to throw to the fish.
"Young master won't eat it, throw it to the fish."
A-Xia pointed to the steamed bun in his hand, and then to the pond. Xiao Bao blinked his eyes suspiciously, then threw his hand vigorously. Attracted a group of fish looting, and suddenly laughed happily.
The two had a great time.
During this period, Chun'er went back, saying that there was something to do at hand, anyway, it's not that Axia can't stand Xiaobao alone.
Chun'er left, the smile on A-Xia's face suddenly disappeared, she stopped teasing Xiaobao, and became preoccupied again. She was thinking about a question that she had never been able to figure out. Why did His Highness not care? Doesn't he think Madam is dirty
Thinking of this dirty word, A-Xia shook her head subconsciously, thinking that she shouldn't think so, but she couldn't help thinking about it.
"A-Xia, I finally found you. The people in Rongxi Court said you came out with the baby in your arms, so I guessed you were here." The person who spoke was Dong'er, who entered the mansion with A-Xia. They were together when they were girls, and they talked about their hometowns to each other. When they heard that they were from the same hometown, they had a different friendship than others.
In the past, Dong'er liked to play with A-Xia, but A-Xia didn't often visit her because A-Xia was busy and couldn't leave.
A Xia asked: "You don't have to work today?"
Dong'er is not as lucky as Axia. Axia was also born as a burning girl at the beginning, but was picked to go to Xiaokuanyuan later. But Dong'er was still in the big kitchen all the time, didn't change places, and ate quite well, even if there were many people working, she was tired.
"I'm on vacation today, so I come to play with you if I have nothing to do. Also, I want to embroider a purse, but I don't have any patterns. I remember you have many beautiful ones, so I want to borrow one from you."
"Use it in a hurry?"
Dong'er nodded, "I want to embroider it and give it to Mama Wang, and see if she can help me with an errand. You see, I have been a fire-burning girl in the big kitchen for so long, and my hands are thick. I also ate a lot of fat... "
A-Xia looked at Dong'er, who was more than two circles fatter than when she first entered the mansion, and felt silent.
She looked at Xiao Bao who was leaning on the railing to watch the fish, and hesitated: "I still want to watch the young master, or I'll send you there in the afternoon."
But Dong'er kept urging her: "I'll help you look at it, saying he's a young master, but actually..." She glanced at Xiaobao with disdain on her face.
This is the reason why A-Xia doesn't want to go play with Dong'er. She always feels that Dong'er has changed a lot since the beginning.
In fact, Dong'er has changed, and she has also changed.
