First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 900

Chapter 900 His surprise (two updates in one)

“What did you say? Who died?”

She asked calmly.

Gao Qiang was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. He scratched his head blankly: "Did I...did I say the wrong thing?"

What do you think... Xiao Heng knew that with his mother's intelligence, he probably couldn't hide it anymore. He glanced at his mother's swollen belly, which was likely to give birth at any time, and he was really worried that one of her babies might have fetal force.

He said earnestly: "I haven't figured it out yet. I'll handle it. Mom, please go inside and rest for a while. I'll tell you after I sort it out."

Princess Xinyang said seriously: "No, I'm fine, just tell me."

"This..." Gao Qiang scratched his head, leaned close to Xiao Heng and asked in a low voice, "Should I say it or not?"

Xiao Heng sighed longly: "Just tell me."

At this point, there is no point in remaining silent.

Gao Qiang said oh, and then asked sarcastically: "What do I want to say?"

“Who died?” Princess Xinyang reminded him.

Gao Qiang suddenly realized: "Ah, Si (yes), Si is talking about this Si, General Xiao is dead!"

“Where did you get the news?” Xiao Heng asked.

Even though he already had Long Yi's painting, Xiao Heng still prayed for even the slightest miracle. Maybe he was mistaken. That person may not be his father.

Gao Qiang told the whole story of the incident.

Marquis Xuanping sneaked into the Yan State secretly. He did not have a proper guide to the Yan State. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings, Xuanping Marquis, Tang Yueshan, and the old Marquis all used the concubine's staff. identity of.

Among them, Xuanpinghou was also made a general by Shangguan Yan when he was in danger.

He suddenly disappeared, so naturally some people were confused.

Shangguan Yan announced to the outside world that he was going to find medicine for His Highness the Ghost King of Ghost Mountain.

The Ghost Soldiers were an army formed by the people. They protected many local people from the Jin army. Everyone was very friendly to the leader of the Ghost Soldiers.

I heard that they were looking for medicine for him, and everyone was looking forward to General Xiao's early return.

Unexpectedly, a month has passed, and before there was news of General Xiao's safe return, the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry dispatched the masters of the Shadow Division to the ice field to salvage the bodies.

It is said that General Xiao successfully brought the medicine back from the other side of the ice field and gave it to his companions, but he failed to leave the ice field alive.

Hearing this, mother and son fell silent.

　No one expected such a result. A living person suddenly disappeared from his life, which made people unable to believe that this was true.

Gao Qiang asked: "That person just now...played His Highness the Four Ghost Kings?" He said, glanced at the mother and son, and said hurriedly, "I don't ask anything! I don't ask anything!"

Xiao Heng's heart felt as if it was being grasped tightly by a big hand. He wanted Shangguan Qing to live, but he also didn't want his father to sacrifice his own life.

In the past, neither father nor son knew how to get along with each other. When they finally understood, they had no chance.

He clenched his fists and his eyes turned red little by little: "Why...why is this happening..."

Gao Qiang was panicked: "I...I don't know why this is happening...If I had known it earlier...I wouldn't have said anything..."

Is it too late to regret now?

Why do you feel like you have made such a big mistake?

Will the master punish him when he returns home?

There is no monthly money again this month!

“That, that, that…I…I…” Gao Qiang felt that he had to disappear immediately, otherwise he might not be able to leave alive.

At this moment, the craftsman who repaired the door came over.

His eyes lit up: "I'm going to fix the door! I broke the door! I'll fix it myself!"

After running for two steps, he turned back and said angrily, "Nen... My condolences!"

The feeling of losing his father was not much worse than losing his brother. Xiao Heng controlled his tears from falling.

He has no father.

Different from his previous angry words, this time, he really lost him.

When Yujin invited the imperial doctor over, Gao Qiang was helping the craftsmen repair the courtyard door that he had kicked down. Xiao Heng was no longer here.

Yu Jin was sensitively aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house. She wanted to ask what happened, but the servants all looked away.

She looked at Gao Qiang, who did not dare to say anything this time. He avoided her gaze and waved his hand: "Don't ask me, I won't tell! I don't know anything!"

She murmured: "Did something happen to the young master?"

Her first reaction was that Shangguan Qing's condition had worsened. After all, apart from this, she couldn't think of anything else that would make everyone panic like this.

She hurriedly led the imperial doctor to Shangguan Qing's wing.

The furnishings in the wing room have not changed at all, but as soon as you step inside, the atmosphere inside is heavy and suffocating.

Yu Jin frowned and unconsciously squeezed the handkerchief tightly.

She crossed the threshold and walked towards Shangguan Qing's bed: "Princess!"

Princess Xinyang sat on the stool in front of the bed with her back to the door, her back straight as always.

But her back looks a little sad.

I don't think something happened to the young master, right?

“The Royal Physician!” She turned around and urged the Royal Physician.

The imperial doctor carried the medicine box on his back and stepped across the threshold.

He came behind Princess Xinyang and bowed to Princess Xinyang first: "I've met the princess."

Princess Xinyang responded calmly after a while: "Please check Qing'er's pulse."

Yu Jin looked at the expressionless princess worriedly, and stepped aside to make it easier for the imperial doctor to check her pulse.

The imperial doctor examined Shangguan Qingzi carefully and bowed to report: "Back to the princess, the young master seems to have been poisoned, but judging from the pulse, there is no immediate concern for his life."

If there is no fear of life, then the antidote is working.

Why does the princess still look unhappy?

The imperial doctor did not dare to ask who this young man who was so cherished by Princess Xinyang was. He just vaguely felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar.

He said: "Young Master, just continue to take the antidote. I will go down to the official office and prescribe a warming prescription for you."

“It's time to work.” Princess Xinyang said.

The imperial doctor carried the medicine box and left.

Yujin closed the door, returned to Princess Xinyang, and asked strangely: "Princess, what happened? Why is everyone acting weird?"

"Xiao Ji is dead." Princess Xinyang said, her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

But whether she really meant it or not, only she knew.

Yu Jin was startled when he heard this: "Princess, who did you listen to? Did you make a mistake? Didn't the Marquis go to find medicine for the young master? All the medicine was found..."

“He can't come back.” Princess Xinyang said.

She has already seen Long Yi's paintings. She is familiar with the geography of various countries, and of course she understands what kind of place the ice field is. The ice field in winter is an iceberg purgatory, a chasm of death that no one can cross.

She couldn't imagine what kind of willpower he had to bring the antidote back from the blizzard.

Yujin knelt down, held Princess Xinyang's hand, and looked up at her: "Princess..."

Princess Xinyang murmured: "I once thought about getting rid of this man, but I didn't expect it would be in this way."

Yu Jin's nose felt sore: "Princess..."

Princess Xinyang was very calm: "Birth, old age, illness and death are common, but he died too quickly."

Yu Jin clenched her master's hand distressedly: "Princess, if you are sad, just cry. It will make you feel better."

Princess Xinyang said: "I am not sad for myself, but for the three children. When I was raising Aheng, I always felt that it made no difference if Aheng had a father or not. Anyway, he is in the military camp all year round and never comes back all year round."

"Isn't that why you don't let him come to the princess's mansion?" Yu Jin choked and said, "I saw the marquis riding his horse and passing by the princess's mansion several times..."

Princess Xinyang did not deny that she did not want to see Xuanping Hou, but she had a reason: "He always makes Aheng cry... Aheng only sees him a handful of times every month. I often feel that he is actually a father. It's dispensable. But when this person is really gone... you realize... it's different."

Yu Jin said sadly: "The Marquis didn't hang out in front of you in the past, but he didn't go far. He has always been secretly guarding you and the young Marquis. As long as you and the young Marquis look back...he will always be there..."

“But this time, he's really gone.”

　No matter how many times she looks back, the man will never wait for her where she is.

"When His Majesty said he would marry me to him, I thought my nightmare was coming. You know he has a bad reputation. He has high martial arts skills and a strong temper. I don't care about his reputation. I just It's a **** to win over powerful officials. Who should I marry? But I can't get close to men. If it were someone else, it might be easier to control."

But Xuanpinghou, that young man with bright clothes and angry horses, made great military exploits at a young age and was so powerful that the entire royal family was afraid of him.

"Although I am a princess, how can I not let my husband touch me on my wedding night? I was prepared to be humiliated by him... I was young at that time, my temper was not what it is now, and I still had the impulsiveness of a teenager, so I even I thought that if I really couldn't bear the humiliation, I would be lucky enough to commit suicide."

The dagger pressed against his chest was originally prepared for herself.

She never thought he could compromise.

He returned to the room smelling of alcohol. He staggered around, but as soon as the door was closed, his drunkenness disappeared.

He said to her softly: "I'm not drunk, don't be afraid."

She tightened the dagger in her wide sleeve.

He picked up Yu Ruyi on the table and lifted her hijab.

She clearly remembered the look in his eyes at that time, which was full of the cleanliness and beauty of a young man, and seemed to have nothing to do with the rumored romanticism.

He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, his face was as delicate as jade, and he looked at her with a smile and a hint of shyness and joy of a newlywed.

However, what greeted him was a cold dagger that almost penetrated his chest.

“Don't touch me, or I'll kill you!”

“It's hard to disobey the emperor's order, I never thought of marrying you.”

"We just need to maintain our official status. We don't have to be husband and wife. You can have as many concubines as you want. I won't interfere."

“Of course you don't interfere in my affairs.”

“If you don't have my summons in the future, you are not allowed to step into the princess's mansion!”

She saw his clean and beautiful smile stiffen little by little, like a piece of intact jade that had been shattered cleanly by her own hands.

She felt the cold air on his body.

She thought he would take the dagger away from her and then humiliate her terribly.

He didn't.

He just asked: "Qin Fengwan, are you serious?"

After getting a positive answer, he sneered, stood up, threw away the jade Ruyi in his hand, also tore off the ribbon and red flowers on his body, and left the wedding room covered with happy words without looking back. .

Their relationship as husband and wife came to an end.

She thought, this is good.

It was pouring rain, her carriage broke down halfway, and she was soaked in the rain.

His army happened to be passing by on the street.

She turned around not to look at him, nor to let him see her embarrassment.

But he still saw it.

She thought that he would make fun of her and bring back the wedding night scene.

But he still didn't.

The young general got off his horse, took off his raincoat and handed it to her.

She didn't pick it up.

She dared not touch anything belonging to a man.

He tilted his head, glanced at her with a frown, walked over, and put the raincoat on her body.

That was the first time since she grew up that she was so close to a man. Her face turned pale for a moment, and she even choked on her breath.

"Go away! Don't touch me!" She turned her face away and said coldly, and threw away the raincoat he put on her.

He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Soon, he bent down and picked up the dirty raincoat in the mud, got on his horse, and left without saying a word.

It was raining heavily, Long Yi and the others were not here, and the guards were slow to repair the car. She was almost freezing.

Not long after, a brand new carriage came out of the heavy rain and stopped in front of her.

The driver handed over the umbrella: "Madam, a young man just asked us to pick you up."

She was always trying her best to avoid this man, but she would inevitably run into him, always in her few embarrassing moments.

She took Xiao Heng to the street to buy snacks. When four-year-old Xiao Heng got into trouble, he acted coquettishly and let Long Yi take him away for refuge.

She took Yujin walking on the crowded streets.

Because of the triennial lantern festival, people from all over the world gathered in the capital.

She and Yujin were separated. She was pushed to the edge and knocked over an old lady's stall. The old lady cried and asked her to pay for her things, but all the money was on Yujin.

The old lady hugged her legs and made everyone around her cry.

She stood there helplessly, unaware that her hair and clothes were already messy.

“Xiao Lang, who is she?”

Upstairs, in the Ruanxiang Pavilion, a gorgeous woman cuddled up next to him, taking time to watch her jokes.

“My wife,” he said.

The woman was startled, then covered her face with her fan and smiled: "Is she the princess you left in the mansion in the cold? She doesn't look very good either."

She lowered her head and realized that her clothes were a little messy.

She looked at the crowd rushing toward her and the men's malicious eyes, and suddenly fell ill.

Suddenly, a cloak covered her tightly, and someone took her wrist and led her out of the crowded crowd.

There are some things that you won't notice unless you think about them carefully. When you recall them carefully, you will find that they are not as completely unrelated as the world sees them.

She had seen him practicing his sword, she had seen his heroic appearance on horseback, and he had also seen her in the most indescribable embarrassment.

They met at the house, bumped into each other on the street, and bumped into each other in the palace, but they were all strangers and ignored each other.

Princess Xinyang said calmly: "After King Liang died, my illness seemed to be getting better."

Yu Jin was startled with tears in her eyes: "Princess..."

She held her stomach and stood up, "Aheng went to prepare for the funeral. You should go and prepare too."

“Yes.” Yu Jin wiped away her tears and stepped back sadly.

The princess is so pitiful that she became a widow at a young age.

What should I do, Mr. Hou? What should the young master do?

What about the child who is about to be born?

Yu Jin went to the Hou Mansion to inform the Hou Mansion that they were also preparing for the funeral.

The door to the courtyard was repaired, and Gao Qiang said goodbye to her.

She nodded, thanked him, and asked him to take care of himself along the way.

At dusk, snow began to fall from the sky, and large flakes fell silently.

In this world, even sadness is quiet.

It was extremely quiet in the yard.

She walked in the snow, her shoes making a squeaking sound.

Something hit the courtyard door hard.

She frowned slightly. The servants were all busy in the backyard, and no one came to open the door.

She frowned and looked at the closed courtyard door, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

She opened the vermilion courtyard door, and suddenly there was a sound of wind in the snowflakes. The goose feather-like flying snow rushed towards her, and she subconsciously blocked it with her hand.

When she looked toward the door again, she saw nothing.

Just when she was about to close the courtyard door, her steps paused.

She crossed the threshold and looked toward West Street.

Still no one.

At this moment, a low laughter came from behind.

She turned around blankly.

In the wind and snow, I saw a slender, dusty man, holding his arms in his arms, lazily leaning against the cold wall behind him, his slender legs walking handsomely in the snow.

His body was covered with dried blood, his face was pale, and his breath was weak.

He turned his head to look at her, his pale and handsome face against the snowy light, and an uninhibited smile on his bloodless lips: "Qin Fengwan, you look so ugly when you cry."

Sorry, it's even later, this chapter is difficult to write.

I am a sweet writer, make a fist.
