The world is heavy and late

Chapter 237
The prince didn't answer her words, but played with the cup in his hand and said, "Did the empress ask you to ask?"

Xia Qing was speechless, she guessed that the prince, a sensitive little brat, would think so, but she showed a sad look on her face: "Could it be that the servant wants to ask? Or does the prince think that the servant is not worthy to ask?"

To be honest, Xia Qing didn't expect that she could say such a thing. This is really...too...her grandma's tea.

The prince was startled by Xia Qing, and he didn't seem to throw out the teacup in his hand.

Although Xia Qing was taken aback by herself, she felt that she couldn't bury her talent as an actor, so she continued to walk decisively: "The Empress has always been afraid that His Highness would think so, so she didn't open her mouth, but this servant is thinking of Your Highness and Second Highness , and even the unborn Third Highness couldn't help asking, but now it seems that the servants are meddling in their own business."

Xia Qing didn't know if he was addicted, so he covered his face and began to cry immediately after speaking.

The prince was completely shocked and speechless, looking at Xia Qing who was so "disrespectful to the old", the prince's words seemed to come out from between his teeth: "Speak well to Gu."

Xia Qing paused, put down his hands resentfully, and wiped away any tears he didn't have, and stopped being a demon.

The two of them were silent for a while, and the crown prince drank the tea in the cup and said, "Aren't you complaining about Gu for not protecting Jingning well?" It was rare and fragile.

Xia Qing raised her eyes, shook her head quickly, and even said in an unbelievable tone, "How could Your Highness think so? We have never blamed His Highness, we only thank His Highness."

Rare fragility is very rare, no matter how much it is, it is really hard for others to see it. This young and successful little prince asked sideways: "Really?"

Xia Qing nodded vigorously, and then said: "Did your Highness run to look for him as soon as he saw that the little Highness was not there? I used to think that His Highness thought that the Little Highness was clingy, but now that I see it, does His Highness like the little Highness very much?"

Xia Qing's eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were pressed down so hard that it didn't look so obvious.

But how could the prince not know, and let out an indistinct snort from his nose, but he didn't refute it.

Instead, he turned the cup in his hand and said: "The waiter only found out that he was very close to Xiao Linzi, and he couldn't find out after further investigation."

Xia Qing murmured, if the crown prince couldn't find it, it could only mean that the person hid too deeply or had already reached the bottom, that is to say...

"It seems that Eunuch Xiaolin doesn't like His Royal Highness either."

The prince was playing with the sapphire cup in his hand, but he didn't speak, looking a little cold and deep.

Xia Qing glanced at the prince who seemed to be doing nothing, sighed, it was deliberate, so the prince heard it clearly, and finally took the time to cast his eyes on her, Xia Qing did not panic at all, but said instead: "I don't know Where did your Highness provoke Eunuch Xiao Lin, so that Eunuch Xiao Lin hates it so much, and wished to get rid of it quickly."

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and remembered with a childish voice: "You can also say half of what you say, and hide the half."

Xia Qing bared her teeth and grinned, not caring about the image at all, but the prince felt hurt and said, "It's so ugly."

Xia Qing retorted: "Ugly, when I was a child, Your Highness still wants me to hug you?"

The prince's face turned red suspiciously, it was simply... a great shame, and the prince couldn't understand why he would cling to this woman when he was a child, which made him regret it so much now.

Simply turning your eyes away from her and changing the subject is always a good way to solve the embarrassment.

"This little forest has been with me since I was a child, and it was left to me by my mother."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Qing meaningfully and said, "He's also my second uncle's."

Xia Qing didn't realize that her topic had been changed. She and her acquaintances had always been like this, saying whatever came to her mind, as she pleased.

And what the prince said was also what she cared about: "Are there still many people from the Duke's Mansion in Your Highness's palace?"

The crown prince nodded, then looked at Xia Qing and said, "Why do you think Gu would embarrass his natal family for the sake of a stepmother's son?"

Xia Qing's face remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart. It was not because the prince would really do this, but because the prince was already able to look at each other's status at this time. This was obviously very old-fashioned. How far the prince has grown.

There was a mountain wind howling in his heart, but Xia Qing gave the prince a blank look and said, "Could it be that Your Highness will let the murderer who hurt his brother be spared for the sake of a cousin of his natal family?"

The crown prince paused, seeming to be emotional: "Xia Qing, you are really good at making people happy. I remember when I was a child, I felt that other people's flattery was always out of focus, and you could always find Hongde alone. "

Xia Qing smiled innocently, with sincerity in her eyes: "Because this servant is telling the truth, and this servant only speaks the truth. In His Highness's heart, His Highness is obviously better than others. Everyone knows it, and it is precisely because of everyone's knowledge that he will Make those people think of little people."

The prince snorted, he suddenly found out why he had liked Xia Qing for so many years, because when he was with Xia Qing, he was always more happy than sad, more relaxed than heavy.

He didn't care too much and said, "There are more than twenty more."

Xia Qing's eyes were shining, and his face was full of admiration. Of course, his voice was artificial admiration: "Since His Royal Highness knows how many people, it seems that he has seen everything clearly?"

"What do you want?"

"Oh, this servant is not thinking that you and your majesty must not have too much trouble, otherwise you will have a reputation of being ruthless, and maybe your majesty will also have a reputation of being obsessed with women and framing loyalty, and he is tired every day. You have to talk to a... er... I mean, His Majesty has a lot going on every day."

Xia Qing's words almost turned bald and offended the noble emperor, so he immediately changed the subject.

"It's even more inconvenient for the empress to take action. This matter can't be aroused. First, I don't want to scare the second highness. Second, the younger brother's accident in the East Palace will damage the image of the prince in the hearts of the people. I also want to protect you. But it is not public. , the Empress Empress will bear a reputation of ulterior motives if she makes a move."

As if opening a hole, Xia Qing also became more energetic.

"You don't know how bad those people are, and they still hold the banner of scholars. Pooh, they will focus on the matter of the emperor's harem. Others have been admitted to Jinshi and the Imperial College, so they gossiping all day. Si also claims to be clean. After such a long time, he will talk about the matter of empresses, gentry, and maids. I really don’t know why I hate them more than those gossips. Don’t you know that there is a saying that heroes don’t ask where they come from? Why don't you say that Gaozu was not from a wealthy family back then, so he still ruled the world. There are also some people, the Second Highness is only a child and crying, and this should also be pointed at the empress's nose, saying that she has no way to teach her children, I really don't know how to look in the mirror, and what's more, I secretly mocked the little highness for not being a prince, please, how old is he? "

The words were pouring out, and Xia Qing said it happily. She really held it back for too long. These words were not only spread outside, but also in the palace.

But Fangmin's mouth is stronger than Fangchuan's, Xia Qing can only pick a few leaders to punish one or two, no matter how many there are, there is nothing he can do.

The palace is always full of flowers and despair, although the outside is also there, but it is much bigger than the palace, and she still has a place to play.

Although the prince didn't know why Xia Qing was able to talk so much, it didn't prevent him from being angry and troubled by the rumors that had been floating over the capital.

He squinted his eyes, and the cold eyes of a 12-year-old child still had a rare ruthlessness and coldness, which was in stark contrast to his voice, which was still a child's voice when he opened his mouth: "So I'm going to send Xiao Linzi out to see a Fan, if something happens outside, it depends on natural disasters and man-made disasters."

The implication is that no one should pour dirty water on anyone, and the nephew and uncle are still close relatives.

Xia Qing thought it was feasible, but she had already made up her mind, and she was unwilling to give up at this time, so she tried every means to find a reason: "It's too suspicious to send all those people out and have an accident together, will there be a rift with the Song family, right? "

The prince gave Xia Qing a disdainful look, as if he was laughing at Xia Qing's simplicity, as well as his stupidity.

"Gu is the crown prince, will he continue to indulge the Song family's meddling in the affairs of the East Palace? Gu just doesn't want to tear up his face suddenly and appear too cold, which makes other ministers believe in Gu. This time is no better than in troubled times. Renjun over a tyrant."

"Also, is Gu going to send all of them together? Stupid!"

Xia Qing glanced at the prince in surprise, and felt that the prince's political literacy is really high, and now he has already figured out what kind of emperor he will be, and even, he was right, he is not needed to conquer the world now A decisive emperor is far less popular than a benevolent emperor who loves the people.

But seeing the slightly mocking and disgusting eyes of the prince at a glance, she gritted her teeth secretly, she knew it was okay!But because of the thoughts in her heart, she could only continue to refute: "Even if they disappear slowly one by one, others will always be suspicious, and there are often inexplicable accidents in the East Palace, and some people will crown them as ominous. The country is even more unfavorable."

Any ancient people would not underestimate the power of such things as gods, gods and ghosts, because they have great awe for the sky, for gods, and for the unknown itself.

The prince finally understood that Xia Qing had made up his mind a long time ago, and he just waited for him to jump in. He looked at Xia Qing and said, "Then what can you do?"

Xia Qing chuckled.
