Chapter 535: Winter Celery Comes to Make Trouble
Prince Yuan came back after completing the task assigned by the emperor. As soon as he entered the city, he received a message from his secret guard. When he learned that his ancestor was seriously injured, Prince Yuan raised his throat with all his heart. At this moment, he was so anxious that he had a big blister on his lips. He didn't care about entering the palace first, so he hurried back to the palace.
When Nian Ruyi rushed to the east room, she was about to enter the door when she heard Prince Yuan's sob in the room. She stepped in and shrank back quietly and said to Zhu Jin, "We won't go in first. Go to the kitchen to check it out, let the chef cook some food that the prince likes, and then ask the prince's servant to cook a pot of hot water and prepare it."
"Yes, the county lord."
Zhujin bowed and left.
Not long after, a little maid came to report, saying, "County Lord, Dongqin, the maid next to Aunt Lu, came, right outside the yard, saying that she wanted to see the prince."
"The prince is talking to his ancestors, let her come over again later." Nian Ruyi waved her hand and asked the maid to drive Dongqin away.
Unexpectedly, Dongqin actually cried outside the yard, "Prince, please, save my aunt quickly. My aunt hasn't eaten for three days..."
"Your aunt is trying to die and doesn't want to eat. Can't you still need someone to pour it in?" At this time, Madam Bai came from Jinheyuan and stared at Dongqin angrily, "The kitchen has never had any meals for Aunt Lu. She hasn't eaten for three days. Who did she feed Yixinju's food every day?"
Dongqin turned pale and cried, "My aunt was placed under house arrest by the eldest master. She tasted badly and was uncomfortable. She couldn't help but want to invite a doctor to come back and see her. Woo... My aunt has been sleeping for more than six hours today and hasn't woken up yet. I'm worried...Madam Bai, please let me go in and see the prince."
Dongqin cried and knelt down to hug Madam Bai's thighs.
Madam Bai took a few steps back and said coldly, "I haven't investigated what happened in Jiangheyuan, and no one can think of leaving the yard before the truth is revealed. Why? Everyone can obey the orders of the eldest son. But your aunt cannot. Is your aunt's life more valuable than the life of the ancestor?"
Then, he asked Duanqin, "How did you come from Yixinju?"
A hint of panic flashed in Dongqin's eyes, "I... I came up with the wall."
"Crossing the wall?" Madam Bai looked disbelieving. Yixin lived outside the courtyard with a guard. She climbed the wall, so how could the guards not see it?
Madam Bai immediately ordered a little maid following behind her, "Go to Yixinju to see it. If anything is abnormal, come and report it immediately."
"Yes, Madam."
The little maid owed her body, and then ran away to Yixinju under Dongqin's frightened gaze.
At this time, Prince Yuan came out. His face was pale, his eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be a trace of regret in the depths of his eyes.
It seems that the serious injury of our ancestors has hit him a big blow, and finally reminded him of how alienated he has been from his mother over the years and he is not even willing to see her. But when his mother is injured and dying, he regrets it. It turns out that his mother is not omnipotent and invulnerable to swords and guns. His mother is also a mortal fetus with naked eyes. She will get sick, get hurt, and be sad.
He remembered when he was a child, his mother taught him tirelessly, loved and hoped for him... However, he disappointed her.
