Chu Yun was taken aback for a moment, then saw Xiao Xin getting up slowly, covered in sand and looking ashamed, immediately pointed at him and laughed.
"Wow… "
Xiao Xin cried immediately, and it was an earth-shattering cry.
Chu Yun was dumbfounded for a moment, and just about to say a few words of contempt for him, he saw red liquid flowing down Xiao Xin's head.
Also scared silly.
"Father, father king..."
The Ninth Prince was still contemplating, when he suddenly heard Chu Yun's shrill cry, and hurried over.
"What happened?" Xiao Xin was turning her back to him, she stopped crying now.
But Chu Yun yelled in fright, "Father, he, he is bleeding."
"Wow..." Another earth-shattering cry came out, Xiao Xin was not afraid of anything but blood, and would cry whenever she saw blood.
Ninth Prince picked up Xiao Xin and rushed to the front yard.
When Xiao Ting got the news, she hurried over to see that Xiao Xin had a gash on her forehead, it was nothing serious, but because of the exercise just now, the blood flowed a little more.
The doctor bandaged him up, but Xiao Xin was still sobbing.
Chu Yun next to him is like a child who has done something wrong, hiding behind the screen but being embarrassed to come in, looking inside like a thief.
Xiao Ting held Xiao Xin in her arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Little darling, it's all right, darling, don't cry."
"elder sister… "
"Well, my sister is here!"
"Sister, don't blame Xiao Yun, she didn't do it on purpose." Xiao Xin said to Xiao Ting with red eyes, begging.
He knew his sister's temperament and defended him very much.
Xiao Ting looked up at a certain thieves, and said angrily: "You like Xiaoyun so much, she pushed you down to bleed, and didn't come to see you, and you still talked to her."
Xiao Xin grabbed her hand and said, "Sister."
"Okay, okay, don't blame her, then you have a good rest!"
It was a long time after Xiao Ting left that Chu Yun sneaked in. He wanted to see Xiao Xin, but as soon as he got to the bed, Xiao Xin opened his eyes and saw her.
"Xiaoyun, I'm fine."
Just as Chu Yun was about to say something, hearing what Xiao Xin said, she shed tears of grievance.
"Hey, don't cry!" Xiao Xin sat up, and stretched out her white and tender little hand to wipe Chu Yun's tears, a little clumsily.
Chu Yun turned his head and hummed softly, "I didn't cry, it's because my eyes hurt a little, this is for you."
She stuffed a small bundle into Xiao Xin's arms and ran away. Xiao Xin opened it and saw that there were some unfamiliar things inside. Lu Cai came in and took a look, and said, "Oh, young master, who gave you so many medicinal materials?"
medicine
Xiao Xin patted the burden, and said: "Xiaoyun gave it to me, sister Luhua, please put it in that box for me."
Lu Hui responded with a smile, and said, "Your servant knows."
Just as Xiao Ting had a showdown with the Ninth Prince, she was happily thinking about her future life, when she heard Zhaohua's voice getting closer outside.
Seeing that it was really her, Xiao Ting asked, "Has the emperor allowed you to leave the palace?"
Princess Zhaohua shook her head, took her hand, looked her up and down, and said, "Wow, you are so lucky that you are fine."
"What could be the matter? This girl is the god of water, could she still be drowned?"
Zhaohua looked at her suspiciously, "When did you become watery, why didn't I know?"
Forehead!
Xiao Ting laughed and asked, "What's wrong? Has something happened?"
"By the way, did you know? A corpse was dug up from the bottom of Heart Lake, right where you were drowning. Fortunately, you didn't see it, or you would have been scared to death."
Xiao Ting's heart skipped a beat, remembering that her leg cramp was caused by the sudden appearance of the corpse.
Will choke water intermittent coma.
"Isn't it just a corpse? As for what you're making a fuss about." She had heard that in this ordinary wealthy family, it's common for a person to die, let alone the palace.
That's the place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.
"Do you know who she is?" Zhaohua whispered to her mysteriously, "Does Taozhi know?"
Xiao Ting was speechless, Taozhi, did she return willow branches
What kind of messed up person, must she know
"Don't you know?" Seeing Xiao Ting's expression, Zhaohua said triumphantly, "It took me a lot of effort to find out."
Xiao Ting was just about to say, you might as well think about how to deal with the emperor when you have this time, so Princess Zhaohua said: "She was the most capable maid around the imperial concubine and empress."
"The imperial concubine? Which imperial concubine?"
Could it be her aunt
"Of course it's Concubine Xiao, it's said..."
Back then, Concubine Xiao Gui did not bring a dowry maid by her side when she entered the palace because of her low family background, so she lived alone in the harem. That year there was only one maid serving her, which was Taozhi.
Later, Concubine Xiao was honored and favored, so she took Tao Zhi with her as a personal maid, but the imperial concubine suddenly had a miscarriage, the emperor was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and it turned out that Tao Zhi was found because she was jealous of the concubine's favor.
But when they went to catch her, they found that she had been poisoned and died.
And there is a confession book beside her, saying that she was once a beautiful girl, and she had the same beginning as Concubine Xiao, but she had a completely different ending, and she drugged the concubine because of jealousy to cause her to have a miscarriage.
Knowing that he was sorry for her, he committed suicide to repay her kindness.
The truth of the incident came to light, Tao Zhi was ordered by the emperor to be crushed and ashes, Concubine Xiao was soft-hearted and finally had someone take her out of the palace and find a place to bury her.
For many years after that, Concubine Xiao Gui could not conceive. The imperial doctor concluded that it was caused by the drugs of the year, and feared that she would have no children in this life.
Concubine Xiao's temperament changed drastically for a period of time, and the emperor tried to comfort her several times, but it took a long time for her to return to normal.
At this point, the emperor issued an order that no one in Liugong was allowed to mention this matter.
So many people don't know who Taozhi is, but Taozhi's body appeared in the heart lake, and it has not rotted for a long time, and it was recognized after all.
It only took a moment for this past story to be revealed, and it spread throughout the entire palace in an instant.
Leaving aside how chaotic the palace was and how many people were shocked, as soon as Zhaohua got the news, he hurried over to tell Xiao Ting.
The most important thing is that I want to avoid everyone's eyes first, lest my father see her and punish her again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ting stood up and said, "Red Shao, change clothes, my concubine is going into the palace."
Princess Zhaohua wanted to die.
The palace at this moment caused an uproar because of a court lady who had been dead for many years.
Especially in Yaochi Palace, after Concubine Xiao Gui fainted, the emperor summoned almost all the imperial physicians, after an hour of treatment, she woke up, but became a sick and beautiful woman.
Lying on the imperial concubine's couch dying, no one wants to see her, even the emperor is no exception.
The emperor was short of breath, but he was more distressed.
Therefore, he decreed that the corpse be smashed to ashes, and whoever made his little heart sad, he would not let anyone feel better.
The commander of the imperial guards who went to investigate the matter came back. Because the heart lake has always been calm and the water is very deep in some places, the heart lake has been guarded by special guards all the time, just in case someone will fall.
In the early stage of the lotus blooming, there will be special people going down to take care of it, and nothing strange is found.
Never seen that body.
The commander of the Imperial Guard put forward his own guess, that the corpse should have been thrown into the heart lake in the past two days.
"In two days, it will be your birthday. Every year, the imperial concubine will perform dances for you on the heart lake..."
When the visitor mentioned this, the emperor immediately understood, and his face showed anger, "This is for the life of the noble concubine!"
Just imagine, today is still daytime, Concubine Xiao fainted immediately when she saw Taozhi's body, if it was night, when the moon was high, and she was in the middle of the lake, she was suddenly frightened, how could she survive if she fell into the water
Thinking of this, the emperor immediately ordered, "Let me investigate thoroughly. If this matter is not clear, you can resign and return to the field later."
Although the current Holy Majesty is not a great talent, he has always been generous and kind, let alone say such words.
It can be seen how angry what happened today made him.
"The ministers and others obeyed the order, but the Holy One, this corpse has a strange source and will not rot for a long time. Please dispose of it later."
The emperor stared, and just as he was about to say something, the imperial concubine came out with the support of the maid, and said, "Your majesty, you should do so! Tao Zhi has been dead for so many years, and my concubine also wants to know who was going to harm me back then, and why she was being abused so badly."
Obviously, Concubine Xiao Gui had never believed in the so-called confession, but at that time her foundation was not stable, and troubles arose, so she had no choice but to kill this loyal servant.
"Okay, okay, according to what the imperial concubine said, you are not well enough to come out and do something, go in and rest." The emperor looked at his little heart with distress, his pale face reminded him of what happened back then.
Still feel guilty to this day.
When Xiao Ting arrived at Yaochi Palace, the emperor had already left, Xiao Ting shook her head at the personal maid who was waiting for the imperial concubine, the maid saw that it was her, thought for a while and retreated.
The woman on the imperial concubine's couch was lying sideways, her slender and graceful figure was exquisitely undulating, and just a side view from the back can make people imagine her peerless beauty, tenderness and affection.
The palace gauze was casually draped over her body, and her black hair was hanging down, almost touching the ground, with a few ripples blown by the gentle wind.
When Xiao Ting approached, she realized that Concubine Xiao Gui had fallen asleep.
The corners of her mouth were raised, her hands made an embracing gesture in front of her, her face was tender and loving like never before.
But there was a line of tears in the corner of the eye, which was very obvious.
Sadness almost covered her whole body, and even the smile on her lips was stained with bitterness.
The aunt was honored and favored all those years ago, so she naturally attracted countless envy, but most of them were jealous and not angry.
It didn't take long for Concubine Xiao to be favored, and there was a happy event. The emperor who learned of this incident almost cared for her, and it was also at that time that the errand of Uncle Xiao, a prodigal son, also came to fruition.
Everyone deeply realized what is meant by 'one person attains the Tao, chicken and dog ascend to heaven'!
The outside world is so envious of Concubine Xiao, let alone those women in the palace.
So it happened that Taozhi drugged Concubine Xiao, causing Concubine Xiao to have a miscarriage and lose her child.
Seeing her aunt like this now, Xiao Ting felt sad for no reason.
Xiao Ting sat on the ground, leaning in front of the concubine's couch, stretched out her hand to hold Concubine Xiao's arm, she clearly felt her body tremble, and hugged the emptiness in her arms even tighter.
"aunt… "
