Chapter 87
The waiters looked at each other, and a maid said: "Go back to Your Highness, Princess Yongning has already returned to the meditation room, and is resting at this time, there is no serious problem, Your Highness can rest assured."

The prince was relieved when he heard the words, "It's good that it's okay, thanks to the princess who has been protecting Gu, otherwise Gu is really bad luck."

The maid took the empty bowl, "That's right, the Princess hid His Highness in the cave, and went to lure the assassin away by himself. Such courage is beyond comparison to ordinary people."

"What?" The prince was startled: "You said she lured the assassin away by herself?"

The maid was stunned: "Yes... yes, when the Empress took someone to save His Highness, His Highness was in the cave by himself, and the princess had disappeared. When I came back to look for him, I found that he was already in the meditation room."

The prince didn't have any impression of what she said, his memory was still on the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't feel anything after he passed out.

"So that's how it is..."

The prince sat up propped up, with mixed feelings in his heart.

There was a dull pain in his arm again, he let out a low cry, looked down and saw that there was a large circle of gauze wrapped around his left arm.

"Your Highness, be careful not to involve the wound. If you have anything to do, just ask the servants to do it."

The palace maid hurried over to support him.

The prince took advantage of his strength to stand up, "Where's the queen mother?"

"The slave has already sent someone to inform the empress, she must come over soon."

"It's useless to be an orphan, and the mother is also worried about the orphan."

The prince's complexion was still a little pale. He clenched his fists, but he still couldn't use much strength. If he insisted on exerting force, he would feel dizzy for a while, and his hands and feet were numb and trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the doctor has seen it, and said that the drug in you is not harmful to your body, and you don't need to drink the antidote. Drink more water and rest well until the drug wears off."

The prince thought about it at first, but after hearing what the maid said, he gave up. He leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes darkened.

"Prince—"

The queen's voice came from outside the door, the prince rolled his eyes and said to the maid, "Go and open the door."

"Yes."

As soon as the door opened, the queen hurried in, her face was full of worry and remorse, "Su'er..."

The prince was startled, "Mother, the son is fine."

In the impression of the prince, the queen mother has not called him by his name for a long time, and everyone likes to call him prince.

This time I blurted out my name, which shows that it is really uncomfortable.

The queen rushed to the side of the bed, sat down and raised her hand to gently caress the prince's slightly haggard eyebrows, and said distressedly: "It's the queen's fault that she didn't protect you well, which made you suffer such a big crime."

The prince was in a hurry: "What does this have to do with the mother? The assassin has a vicious mind, and it is impossible to guard against it. It is fortunate that the son can come back alive."

These words undoubtedly stabbed the queen again.

There was a "thump" in her heart, and her fingers curled up slightly.

"Although that is the case, if the queen mother can be more careful, such a thing will not happen."

The queen sighed, withdrew her hand and turned to Shui Lian and the others, "You all stand down."

"Yes."

After Shuilian went out, the queen's tears kept falling like beads with a broken thread, and the prince was in a hurry.

"Mother, don't cry, it's unfilial to make you cry." The prince wanted to wipe the queen's tears with a handkerchief, but unfortunately he only had an inner coat on him. Where did he get the handkerchief?

After thinking about it, he directly wiped the queen's tears with his hands, "The son and minister are fine, and the mother doesn't need to blame herself."

Seeing his clumsy actions, the empress felt sore and aching in her heart. She looked at the prince through the hazy eyes of tears, and smiled through tears: "Silly boy."

The prince thought she was thinking about it, so he also smiled.

But he didn't know how deep the queen's smile was.

"Let's not talk about this, the queen mother has sent people to investigate the origin of the assassin, and the capital has also sent reinforcements, which will definitely keep us safe."

The queen pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and let go of the prince.

The prince nodded: "That's good. These assassins dared to come to Liuyun Temple to commit murder in broad daylight. How many people did they kill?"

The queen lowered her eyes: "The imperial forest army is counting. There should not be many people. Their target is us nobles. The monks in the temple have escaped, and the ladies often go to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers and step on the snow. Well, speaking of it, those maidservants were the only ones who suffered."

The prince pondered for a moment, "The princess..."

"Yongning is okay, she is resting in the meditation room, this time it is thanks to her presence that I saved you, the queen mother doesn't even know how to thank her."

The queen's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the prince tentatively.

The prince didn't realize that something was wrong, his eyes were lowered, and he pursed his lips, showing a little shyness.

When the queen saw it, she understood it and was filled with jealousy.

Sure enough, he was fascinated by that fox spirit.

"Mother, the princess and the son have saved their lives, and they should be thanked, but the son can't think of what to do for a while. What advice does the mother have?"

The prince looked at the queen expectantly.

The queen restrained her thoughts and teased: "It is a common saying among the people that the grace of saving a life should be promised with your body. Why not let your mother decide to let you marry Yongning, so that the family doesn't have to talk about it. In the future, your things will be Yongning's things." .”

The prince couldn't help but feel a little hot when he heard the words, but after he calmed down, his face became lighter again: "Mother, the important thing about marriage is the pleasing relationship between two people. The princess has no intention of that to my son, so don't force it."

"Hey, you child, if your father makes an order, you can cultivate your feelings later, can't you? Your father didn't have much affection for your mother at the beginning. After so many years, isn't it still affectionate?"

The Queen spoke nonsense against her conscience.

In fact, it can't be regarded as nonsense. In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor and empress are indeed harmonious.

So what she said really made the prince shake.

But after thinking about it for a while, the prince still shook his head: "I like her, and I hope she will be happy. The princess has a strong temper. If she is forced, I'm afraid she will be completely renounced."

The queen really can't do anything about her stern-minded son. On the one hand, she is proud of the prince's magnificence and openness, and on the other hand, she hates him for being too upright. How can she be a gentleman in such a matter?

Her heart was complicated, and finally she persuaded: "You don't need to underestimate yourself too much, and no matter you are a prince, you are also one of the best in the capital in terms of appearance and talent. How can Yongning not like such a romantic person?"

"You just get along too little, and you will see each other more in the future. Yongning will naturally agree when he sees your kindness."

The queen patted the prince's shoulder and said earnestly: "If you really like it, the queen mother will definitely help you."

The prince's eyes lighted slightly, and he felt a little yearning for being painted by the queen's big cake, "Thank you, queen mother."

The queen smiled gratifiedly: "Take care of yourself first, and then wait until you return to Kyoto."

"it is good."

The queen painted big cakes for the prince and imagined her life after marriage, until she coaxed the prince until his face turned red before giving up.

After going out, the smile on the queen's face disappeared instantly.

Can this marriage fail?
Oh, to dream!
