Leng Wang accepts the move, and Concubine Hun is a prosecutor

In the early morning of the next day, Feng Ling went to Pingnan Palace to pick up Tuo'er and the little leopard cub, while Huangfu Yuqing entered the palace with Nangong Longze.

When I walked to the palace gate, I happened to meet the third prince Nangong Longyan. After a long time, Huangfu Yuqing came forward to say hello: "Third brother, did you just return to the palace? I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?"

Nangong Longyan only glanced sideways at Huangfu Yuqing hastily, but ignored her question, frowning, and his eyes quickly turned back, falling on a maid following behind him.

"This king has already said that what happened last night was just a coincidence, you should stop following this king..." Nangong Longyan's voice was obviously displeased, and his words also caused Huangfu Yuqing and Nangong Longze's eyes to look at each other at the same time. He looked at the maid.

Dressed in emerald green inlaid red palace clothes, this little maid has a delicate and clean melon-seeded face, with distant eyebrows and star-like eyes. She was a pretty little girl, and what surprised Huangfu Yuqing's eyes was that the bright light in that little girl's eyes was different from those of the maids in the palace.

"If the third prince refuses to take in the slaves, then the slaves... really have no choice but to die. I beg the third prince to do a good job in taking in the slaves. In the future, whether it is serving tea and water by the third prince's side, or being an ox or a horse, the slaves will be happy." Willingly." The little maid drooped her head, looking pitiful and trembling, but in Huangfu Yuqing's eyes, she felt that something was abnormal.

Just now she clearly saw that there was no fear in the girl's eyes, but now she looks very pitiful, if it's not that her eyes are dazzled, or that girl is too good at pretending, if she is really pretending to be pitiful, I don't know what is her purpose?

Thinking of this, Huangfu Yuqing couldn't help but stepped forward, glanced at Nangong Longyan who was full of sadness, and then looked at the maid beside him, a playful smile appeared on the corners of her lips, a light and breezy smile Said: "Ze, it sounds like we missed something..."

"Did the third brother return to the palace last night?" Nangong Longze's seemingly calm tone was probing. From the maid's words just now, it is not difficult to hear that there should have been a small episode between her and the third prince last night.

Nangong Longyan took a deep breath, and then slowly turned his attention to Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing: "Qing'er, why did you enter the palace with your fourth brother today?"

"Third brother, you haven't answered our question yet?" Huangfu Yuqing gave the man a light look, and then cast a meaningful glance at the maid next to him: "Is this maid from the third brother's palace?"

"No." Nangong Longyan frowned even tighter, and shook his head helplessly. From last night to now, this servant girl is like his shadow, and he can't shake it off.

"Then...why did she stick around with Third Brother?" After asking, Huangfu Yuqing's lips curled into a wicked smile, obviously there was something in her words, seeing Nangong Longyan's scorching face being entangled by that maid, I can't help but secretly feel funny.

Asked here by Huangfu Yuqing, Nangong Longyan's face obviously had a touch of unnaturalness, he hesitated to say something, and seemed to want to say something, but there was something difficult to say, because this matter involved the empress, and after careful consideration, he still felt that it should be kept secret , so he cleared his throat, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, from now on... she is considered to be a member of the palace!"

Hearing this, the little maid clasped her hands together as if praying, bowed her waist repeatedly and nodded her thanks: "Thank you, Third Prince, thank you, Third Prince."

Looking at this scene, a strange color flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's radiant water eyes. This maid is indeed a little abnormal, different from other maids in the palace. If the situation just now was changed to other maids in the palace, she would have Kneeling down on the ground, she kowtowed three times and bowed nine times in gratitude to Dade. Although her attitude was also very respectful, bowing and nodding repeatedly, it still seemed to make the woman feel puzzled.

"Qing'er, you haven't told this king yet, why did you enter the palace today?" Nangong Longyan asked back, turning around.

Huangfu Yuqing's eyes turned, and she could hear that Nangong Longyan was deliberately changing the subject, so she smiled: "Third Brother, I almost forgot if I didn't say anything, I still have serious business to do today, I don't have time to chat with you anymore, Go back to the palace to talk to you..."

Nangong Longyan was slightly taken aback, and the servant girl standing behind him raised her eyes slightly, those watery eyes shining with aura just collided with Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes, she didn't dodge in a hurry, but looked at her with a novel look He sized Huangfu Yuqing from head to toe.

Huangfu Yuqing smiled without saying a word, did not say anything, cast a deep look at the maid, and then left side by side with Nangong Longze.

…………………Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line…………………

Xianshu Palace, when Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing appeared in the side hall hand in hand, Mei Xianfei's deep apricot eyes flashed an imperceptible strange color, her eyes drooped for a few seconds, and the corners of her lips curled up when she raised her eyes to stare at them again. He smiled faintly, and said softly: "Ze'er, why don't you come to Xianshu Palace today to pay my respects to this palace? Doesn't your father have a lot of things to tell you recently?"

"I heard from Qing'er that a distant cousin came to join her mother and concubine, and she was weak and sick, so I came here specially to take a look." Nangong Longze looked around while talking, but the people around the concubine Xian didn't meet the requirements. Standard woman.

"This matter... Qing'er can help me to take care of it. Ze'er doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters. Just concentrate on helping your father take care of the country's affairs. That's your duty." Concubine Mei Xian Although his voice was soft, his complexion made people feel solemn and cold.

Huangfu Yuqing quietly observed Concubine Mei Xian's reaction, it seemed that there was nothing unusual, but Nangong Longze was still standing there, and Concubine Mei Xian's eyes shifted to the woman beside him.

Seeing that Concubine Mei Xian's eyes were amused, Huangfu Yuqing had no choice but to stare sideways at Nangong Longze, and said in a relaxed tone: "Ze, mother and concubine are right, a man's ambition is everywhere, and you don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Fee God."

"Mother and concubine, since we are distant relatives, we should meet each other, and we can be regarded as a relative. How can we bother and worry?" Nangong Longze frowned. He had just entered Xianshu Palace. At the gate of the palace, the mother and concubine pushed him out, and she was naturally upset.

"You bastard, this palace is thinking of you, but you don't appreciate it. Your cousin Xing'er's illness is likely to be contagious, so this palace specifically asked you to avoid it, but you just..." Concubine Mei Xian said coldly to her son With a glance, he said angrily.

"Since it is contagious, why does the concubine let Qing'er see her in person?" Nangong Longze heard the words, a dark color flashed across his deep eagle eyes, and a terrifying arrogance appeared in his bones, and he grabbed Huangfu Yuqing's hand. , shouted in a low voice: "Qing'er, let's go—"

"Ze, wait—" Huangfu Yuqing frowned slightly, and with all her strength broke the catkin out of the man's palm, looked into his eyes with a serious face, and said seriously: "Since everyone has already arrived, let's Let me take a look at her condition. As long as you take protective measures, you will be fine even if it is an infectious disease. Besides...she is still your cousin..."

"No, you are still pregnant!" Nangong Longze's eyes flickered for a few seconds of hesitation, and he quickly said this firmly.

Huangfu Yuqing's eyes were slightly dazed. She never thought that at this critical moment, the man would still be thinking about the child in her belly. It didn't seem like he was pretending to care. Could it be that he could really accept this "no" from the bottom of his heart? his child?

"Ze'er, you can go with peace of mind, I have my own measure." Concubine Mei Xian's cold voice came: "Your child is also the grandson of this palace, and this palace will not think less than you..."

Nangong Longze heard that it was difficult to say anything, but Huangfu Yuqing's eyes flashed an imperceptible strange color. Concubine Mei Xian was not surprised when she mentioned her pregnancy. If she remembered correctly, she It seems that she has never told Concubine Xian that she is pregnant...

"Ze, don't worry if you have your mother and concubine together." Huangfu Yuqing smiled, pretending to be relaxed and natural.

Nangong Longze sighed, and at this moment, a servant girl's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent a message to ask if King Pingnan is in the Imperial Palace. If he is, please go to the Imperial Study Room now." trip."

When hearing this news, Huangfu Yuqing seemed to clearly see the expression on Concubine Mei Xian's face soften, and only heard the woman's cold voice slowly escaping: "Ze'er, your father is looking for you, you should hurry up Go get busy with your business! As for other matters, Mother Concubine will naturally handle them properly for you..."

Nangong Longze's deep eagle eyes suddenly dimmed. Why did he always feel that the woman was a little weird today, always making him feel like she was hiding something from him, but right now the father is pressing so hard, his words are not It is not just a few words that can tell the result, so I had no choice but to cast my eyes on Huangfu Yuqing, and said in a low voice——

"Qing'er, you wait here, I'll be back soon after I'm done with the things at hand."

Although Huangfu Yuqing also noticed the strangeness of Concubine Mei Xian, her face was still as calm as water, she smiled lightly at the man and nodded.

…………………… Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line……………

Nangong Longze left, Huangfu Yuqing turned his gaze back to Concubine Mei Xian's face, and his soft voice was as calm as ever: "Mother Concubine, where is Cousin Xing'er? The concubine first went to check on her condition... ..."

"Alright!" Mei Xian'er nodded, and led Huangfu Yuqing across the hallway, towards a secluded guest room at the end of the corridor.

Although it was daytime, the light in the room was very dark, and the windows on all sides were blocked by blackout curtains. A look of suspicion flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's eyes. At this moment, Concubine Mei Xian's voice came from behind: "The one lying on the bed is Xing'er. Qing'er doesn't need to be nervous. In fact, Xing'er doesn't suffer from any infectious disease. She is just naturally afraid of the light. That's why I asked people to cover this room tightly." In fact, it's not easy for Ze'er to come and visit..."

Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing's doubts dissipated slightly. If this is the case, wouldn't it be that she was worrying too much before?

"So it's like this..." Huangfu Yuqing nodded and said in a low voice: "It's the first time I've heard of this strange disease, so let's take her pulse and diagnose it for now..."

The woman walked to the couch and sat down, but felt Xing'er on the couch trembling slightly while feeling her pulse. Although the light in the room was extremely dark, Huangfu Yuqing couldn't help casting her gaze at her , but only a vague outline can be seen.

"Cousin Xing'er, are you cold? Or... nervous?" Huangfu Yuqing's deep eyes reappeared, and her intuition told her that the woman on the couch was not cold or nervous, but... Fear!So what is she afraid of?

"Slave...no...not cold..." The woman's soft voice stammered out.

"Don't mind Qing'er, Xing'er grew up in the countryside since she was a child. Because of her illness and other reasons, she has almost never left the dark room since she was a child, and she has never met a few strangers. That's why I saw you now. Fear……"

Concubine Mei Xian spoke first, and at the same time walked to the couch, she was amiable and sat down on the side of the couch, Rou Ning took Xing'er's other little hand, and her voice became more gentle: "Xing'er , don't be afraid, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will definitely cure your illness, and when the time comes, I will find you a good family to marry, so your parents can rest assured..."

The woman's voice was surprisingly gentle, but Huangfu Yuqing felt a strange feeling, because although Xing'er's body was no longer trembling, her heartbeat almost doubled, and her pulse beat violently at her fingertips at the same time. , can't help but arouse the woman's suspicion.

The question in my mind can't help but return to the original point, is this woman named Xing'er on the couch really Nangong Longze's distant cousin?Was the blackout curtain hanging in the room really just because of her illness?But when she was feeling her pulse just now, she didn't notice any abnormal pulse. On the contrary, it was Concubine Mei Xian's involvement that made Xing'er's heartbeat become disordered.

Suddenly, an important voice flashed in Huangfu Yuqing's mind. When Xing'er answered her question just now, the first word she blurted out seemed to be 'slave', which meant that she was most likely...

Calmly, Huangfu Yuqing's fingertips followed the woman's pulse all the way down smoothly, passing by Xing'er's palm. Although it was only a few seconds of contact, she could feel very clearly the pulse of Xing'er's palm. And the thick calluses accumulated on the fingertips, if it is true what Concubine Mei Xian said, this Xing'er has hardly left the dark room since birth, and has never seen many strangers. How about a patient lying on the bed? , Where did these thick calluses in her palm come from?

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Huangfu Yuqing did not show his expression, and respectfully said softly in the direction of Concubine Mei Xian: "To tell the truth, concubines who are sick like cousin Xing'er are really the number one concubine." This is the first time we meet, if I can brighten up the light a little bit, let the concubine see her tongue coating..."

"No, I have already said that Xing'er should not see the light. If you don't want her to die, you should find another way..." Mei Xianfei immediately rejected Huangfu Yuqing's request, which made Huangfu Yuqing even more angry. Qing affirmed her guess.

"Then...the concubine can only try to prescribe a few prescriptions for her to eat first. As for whether it will be cured, the concubine dare not say..." Huangfu Yuqing was thoughtful, her watery eyes flickering Jingguang, the woman lying on the couch is clearly a servant girl in the Xianshu palace, but Concubine Mei Xian wants her to pretend to be her distant niece, obviously the purpose of the drunkard is not to drink...

Huangfu Yuqing decided to wait and see what happened, waiting for the woman to speak first, she believed that if Concubine Mei Xian had a purpose, she would have to expose it sooner or later.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the woman's low and cold voice slowly: "Qing'er, don't stress too much, I have asked the imperial physicians about this kind of disease before, and they all said that they have never seen such a disease before." So... this palace is also mentally prepared, you just do your best, don't let this matter become your burden!"

"My concubine, thank you for your understanding." Huangfu Yuqing bowed slightly and saluted. Concubine Mei Xian slowly got up, took her hand and led her out of the house. She didn't say hello to her "distant niece" when she left.

…………………Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line…………………

Just after returning to the side hall along the long corridor, Huangfu Yu Qingshui rolled his eyes, but his face pretended to be calm, and smiled lightly: "Since I have shown it to my cousin Xing'er, the concubine is now going to the Compassionate Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager." ..."

"Qing'er is in such a hurry to leave? Would you rather go to the Compassionate Palace to accompany the old lady than stay in the Xianshu Palace to have a chat with the Palace?" Although the corners of Concubine Mei's mouth were still smiling, it could make people feel Condensed with a thin layer of frost, the depths of those almond eyes staring at Huangfu Yuqing became a bit colder and sharper.

"It's because the concubine didn't think carefully and ignored the feelings of the concubine mother. Please forgive me. Since the concubine wants the concubine to stay and talk with you, then the concubine should stay." Huangfu Yuqing smiled , pretending not to see any clues, walked slowly to the rosewood chair and sat down.

"Show tea for Princess Pingnan, and bring some snacks..." Concubine Mei Xian's tone suddenly softened a bit, and the eyes she looked at the woman also became gentle: "Qing'er, get up early* Gong, you have worked hard for a long time, so you must be hungry now, right?"

"The concubine is fine, not very hungry." Huangfu Yu Qingyun replied calmly, but he could feel that there seemed to be another layer of unfathomable meaning hidden behind the woman's words, and he instantly raised his vigilance .

"Eat something if you're not hungry. Even if you're not hungry, the child in your stomach should be hungry too..." Concubine Mei Xian smiled, and said calmly, her eyes fixed on the row of maids carrying food trays at the same time. Watching them neatly place the sumptuous pastries on the table.

The depths of Huangfu Yuqing's eyes suddenly darkened, she suddenly raised her eyes and stared at the woman's apricot eyes with a serious face, a beautiful arc was drawn on the corners of her lips, and she said with a light smile: "How did the concubine know that the concubine is pregnant?" News? The concubine remembers...it seems that she didn't mention this to the concubine mother."

When her words came out, Concubine Mei Xian's deep eyes were dazed for a few seconds, but she soon recovered her expression of ease, and laughed softly: "How can such a happy event be hidden from others? Even if you don't tell me, someone will tell me palace?"

"Mother concubine is referring to... Could it be the prince?" Huangfu Yuqing asked with a tentative chuckle.
