Chapter 708: Battle
When he heard Su Yiqing ask about his legs, his expression was so severe that Lian Yu would shrink backwards in fear. The little hand subconsciously covered his legs. When his hands and feet were flustered, he would easily make mistakes and would not stand steadily. If the big child next to him hadn't been wise and quick to support him with force, he would have fallen.
Su Yiqing sighed slightly, stepped forward and gently picked up the child, placed it on the stone bench next to her, and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
The child's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Su Yiqing holding his hand, with heavy water vapor spreading in his eyes, and he sucked his nose and said, "It doesn't hurt, mother, the child doesn't hurt."
Su Yiqing gently touched the child's legs, but didn't notice anything unusual, but she still asked worriedly: "How did you get hurt?"
Something scared the child again for some reason, and he said evasively: "I just fell accidentally, but I really just fell accidentally, and the child was not naughty."
It fell? A four or five-year-old child, with a bunch of maids and mothers following him on weekdays, so how could he fall so easily? It’s not that Su Yiqing was suspicious, but because she saw too much struggle in the inner house, she felt that there was a conspiracy after seeing the slightest movement. And the injury seemed to be a recent injury. Thinking of the recent addition of new people in the mansion, she even more suspicious, and she couldn’t help but ask again: “Where did you fall? Who are you around when you fall?”
The child was even more scared and shook his body and said, "That's right, it just fell, no...no one is around."
It is even more suspicious that there is no one around. Even Yufeng's only child, there are not many masters of the palace. This child should be like a star supporting the moon. There are a group of maids and women all day long. How could it happen that when the child was injured, there was no one around him?
Su Yiqing's face was slightly dark. Thinking of herself back then, there were not many children in the third room at that time, and Xu was so powerful that she should have been the object of everyone's favor. What's the result? Due to Xu's neglect, the evil servant bullied the master. The predecessor of this body was young and ignorant, so he couldn't even eat enough and looked thin. But everyone took it for granted that there would be nothing wrong, and he thought that many things would really not be taken for granted.
"Mother, don't be angry...I dare not be angry anymore. Don't be angry and don't ignore me." The child's tears rolled in his eyes, but it didn't fall. It seemed that he was holding it to it desperately, looking pitiful and anxious.
One sentence made Su Yiqing feel sad again. It seemed that in the child's heart, she was a person who was easily angry. She gently stroked the child's head and said in a gentle voice: "Silly child, how could the mother be angry with you? The mother is just worried about you."
Unexpectedly, a word made the child's tears fall, and he threw himself into her arms, hugged her tightly, and kept shouting, "Mother, Mother."
Su Yiqing was completely stunned. She really didn't expect that her irresponsible mother was so important in the hearts of the child. The child's performance in front of her was a child who was deeply attached to her mother.
And she didn't even talk about taking care of her children as much as possible, even seeing them as rarely as possible. Over the years, she met this child at a very small number of times. Sometimes she doubted whether the child could recognize her or not.
"Mother, you smell so good." The child murmured, hugging him tighter.
Su Yiqing closed her eyes slightly. She was pregnant and didn't apply any scented ointment or sachets on her body. The child actually felt that her body smelled. If it were... she would definitely feel that it was mother-son nature, but now she felt deeply guilty.
"Little Prince, why are you here?" A nervous cry came, and then an old lady knelt in front of Su Yiqing, "Please forgive me for your crime, I am not optimistic about the little prince."
The child's body shook, but his little hand just grabbed Su Yiqing, for fear that someone would be pulled away from his mother as soon as he let go.
"Don't be afraid." Su Yiqing patted the child's back as comforted, and then looked at the woman with a stern look. She remembered that the woman seemed to be surnamed Sun, and she called her Madam Sun. She was very dissatisfied with Madam Sun's words just now. What does it mean to not be optimistic about the little prince? The child is not a cat or a dog. If you use the word "sighted" and you obviously disrespect it. To be precise, you should take good care of it.
Don’t underestimate the words of this sentence. The royal relatives and nobles’ mansions pay attention to these things the most. Those people do not take human lives seriously. If you say a wrong sentence, you may lose your life. These servants who serve noble people all year round are also very careful and will not make mistakes easily.
Although Madam Sun may be anxious to blurt out, it is obviously what she said in her heart. She does not have the minimum respect or awe of the child, and does not regard the child as the master, but as the object of her care.
After being swept by Su Yiqing's dissatisfied eyes, Madam Sun was so scared that she didn't dare to look up. During this period, newcomers from famous families entered the mansion. The most common rumors in the mansion were that the princess was seriously ill, and the newcomers entered the mansion to replace the princess. If the princess had any problems, the identity of this little prince would be embarrassing.
Even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, the eldest son born by the original wife is a threat to the son born by the second wife, let alone to families like the royal family with a title inheritance.
As the news that the princess was seriously ill, the servants who served in the yard were panicked, fearing that if the princess had a chance, the prince would definitely marry a newcomer. At that time, the prince and the servants who served would become thorns in the eyes of the newcomer and would definitely be removed soon.
Due to this mentality, people's hearts are a little distracted, and it is inevitable that they will take good care of the little prince. Not long ago, if you were not careful, the little prince fell from the tree and injured his leg. Fortunately, the doctor said that it was not a serious problem and it would be cured after a while. There would be no sequelae, otherwise they would not have to wait for the newcomers to enter the door, and these servants would be dealt with.
Of course, it was because the princess was seriously ill, otherwise such negligent behavior would have to deal with a group of people. While the servants were lucky, they were also frightened, fearing that they would escape the disaster and the next disaster, and they all wanted to find a way to transfer it to another place. Even if they were doing some cleaning and shipping, it would be better than staying by the little prince and waiting to die.
I thought the little prince had injured his leg and could not get out of bed and walk around, so they could relax. Unexpectedly, a negligence made the little prince run out and run to the princess yard.
This is a big deal. They will inevitably be severely punished for serving in close proximity.
