The sky will be bright.
The Crown Princess Sun hurried to the door of the study with a few close-fitting maids. Seeing that it was still pitch-dark inside, without a trace of light, she hurriedly asked for food boxes from left and right, and prepared to go in and serve the Prince changing clothes and meals.
Since the Longgen case, the prince has been living alone in the study, served by several eunuchs day and night, never letting the maids and servants approach him at will.
In leisurely days, even the Crown Princess did not dare to come to disturb his 'quietness' in the morning and evening.
The reason why I made an exception now is because this morning, His Royal Highness, on behalf of the imperial court, will go to the east gate to welcome Sun Shaozong's triumph.
This is the first time that the prince has taken on an 'important task' independently since he became an adult, and in the eyes of many courtiers, this is also an important indicator of the emperor's preference for the prince to succeed him.
Therefore, after the decree was issued, the status of the Prince's Mansion in the court suddenly increased a lot.
Coupled with the intelligence and courage of the great-grandson Shaozong that the prince has always loved, his triumphant return to Beijing this time made the prince even more happy.
And the Crown Princess rushed over early, precisely because she wanted to take advantage of this double happiness to ease the increasingly tense relationship between husband and wife.
It was a good idea, but unfortunately...
"My lady, please stay."
As soon as the Crown Princess arrived at the door, not far from the door, in the shadows on both sides, a thin and short figure suddenly flashed, and said in a shrill voice, neither humble nor arrogant: "His Royal Highness had already set off when it was not dawn, and now this Inside and outside the study, only slaves serve."
"His Royal Highness has already left?!"
The princess was stunned when she heard the words, and the flow in her beautiful eyes also dimmed.
Because Sun Shaozong's proposal was leaked, the prince has replaced the servants in the mansion in the past two years, in order to make the prince's mansion run like an impregnable wall.
The Crown Princess also gave her full support to this, but she didn't want it to end. This strictly guarded treatment fell on her head. As the hostess of the Prince's Mansion, she didn't even receive the news of the Prince's early departure. If this is said, I am afraid that no one will believe it!
Why is it so cold between husband and wife
For a time, the Crown Princess was rather disheartened and was about to return to the original road with the food box, but when she saw the young eunuch standing in front of the door, she seemed to be quite wary of herself, and the resentment in her heart poured out. .
"How?"
She fixed her phoenix eyes and looked at the little eunuch proudly and said, "If the prince is not in the mansion, this palace will not be able to enter this study?"
The Crown Princess was always in the mansion, and was known for being approachable, but she was angered and angry, but she also possessed her own arrogance.
The little eunuch originally relied on the favor of the prince, and knew that the husband and wife were not in harmony. The princess, the mistress, was a nameless woman, and she never paid attention to the prince.
But at this time, in the face of the Crown Princess' anger, he involuntarily softened his spine, sloping his shoulders and flatteringly said with a smile: "How dare a servant stop you, what is your mother saying? It's really dirty in this room, I'm afraid of accidentally bumping into it. for you."
"What a dog slave!"
The Crown Princess snorted and shouted, "How dare you say that His Highness's sleeping quarters are a little dirty?!"
Accidentally dropped the handle, the little eunuch's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, with two big-eared posts slapped on his face, and his mouth even scolded for forgiveness: "This servant was confused for a while, and asked the princess and concubine to atone for her sins and return it. Please make atonement for the Crown Princess!"
While pleading, he tapped the ground with his knees and moved his body away from the door.
What he was afraid of was not the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince's temperamental temperament - let's say this morning, it was the Crown Prince who asked him to wake up earlier, but after being shouted, he instead unleashed a nameless anger, Torture a little eunuch to death!
But she said that seeing the eunuch wisely let go of the way, the crown princess was too lazy to look at him, she just handed the food box behind her, and indifferently instructed: "Behold the lamp in front."
The two little maids immediately came out, lanterns on the left and right, illuminating the way to the study.
The Crown Princess moved lightly with her lotus steps, and walked into the study room, before she could see the layout of the room, when she first smelled a pungent fishy smell.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and suddenly heard the lamp-handling maid on the left exclaim, "Niangniang, what do you think this is?!"
Saying that, the lantern reflected in a corner of the house.
And the next second, there were several high-pitched screams:
"what!"
"Blood! It's blood!"
"Why is there blood in the study?!"
It turned out that the black and red piece in the corner flashed a viscous color under the light, but it was not blood or what
The Crown Princess was also taken aback at first, but she quickly calmed down and instructed calmly, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't help His Highness to clean up."
The maids and servants pushed me for a while, and finally a few brave ones took out the tools for sweeping and carefully cleaned up the pool of blood.
Immediately after, someone rummaged through the incense burner and ordered a few good sandalwood incense sticks.
Just like this, after a lot of tossing up and down, the smell in the room is fresher.
The Crown Princess asked someone to put a chair by the window, sit up dignifiedly and gracefully, and watched the red sun rising gradually outside the window, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.
The crown prince was quite stubborn at the beginning. Since the Longgen case, he has obviously restrained a lot, but secretly it has intensified. In the past two years alone, there have been as many as twenty or thirty servants 'lost' in the mansion.
Therefore, sometimes the crown princess will also have some doubts. It may not be a good thing for the country and the court to let such a crown prince ascend the throne.
It's just that she is a virtuous person, and even if she is hesitant in her heart, she will not make it clear to her husband.
Besides, how many of the abolished princes have been able to die peacefully since ancient times
And what will happen to the families of the abandoned princes
ah~
It's useless to think about this.
The left and right Lord Sun is about to return to Beijing, and I only hope that he can persuade Prince Yi or two that this tyrannical act should never be repeated.
Thinking of Sun Shaozong, the Crown Princess's face suddenly flashed a hint of ruddy, and subconsciously put her hand on the imitation of the Tang model, and held Fenglong, which was full of loneliness.
But immediately, she took her hand away from her chest as if she was electrocuted.
Two whole years of being alone have made some things that should have been forgotten for a long time, but become new with time...
Bah~
How can I remember these things again
The Crown Princess spat quietly, expelling those annoying reverie from her mind, and ordered someone to pull out the tea set to wash it clean, and brew a cup of strong almond tea.
When it was a little cooler, she poured it in in one breath, not knowing whether she was in a hurry to get rid of the heat in her heart, or if she wanted to water the stray thoughts that had grown in the dark...
