Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 445
Summer is so hot that no one wants to go out.

Nan Si stayed in the palace for half a month, drinking tea with Ye Xiaoqi every day, reading books, admiring flowers, chatting poorly, and occasionally going to say hello to Her Majesty the Empress and several fathers.

The concubines of the emperor are busy with the handover of power and began to formally hand over their duties. When the third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince are free, they often come to find Nansi to exchange feelings, and learn martial arts with Ye Xiaoqi by the way, but most of the time they don’t is busy.

For the crown prince's enthronement, almost everyone was busy with their feet on the ground.

The most leisurely people are Nan Si and Ye Xiaoqi.

The days passed so quietly.

The three princes didn't know whether it was because they suddenly became busy, or because they were banned by the eldest brother of the emperor, they were all silent about the affairs of the East Palace, but the number of visits to the East Palace was obviously less recently, or in other words, unless there was something important to ask the prince, If they can not go at other times, they will stay away from the East Palace as much as possible.

Jun Lingxiao seemed to be fine. He was still busy with government affairs when he was about to ascend the throne. He could be seen from time to time in the three provinces and six ministries. If officials needed to ask for instructions, they could also go to the East Palace Study to see the prince.

It's just that the East Palace is much quieter than ever before, and the palace people are more cautious in their actions.

At the end of July, the hottest summer is finally over. Sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the lake, you can especially feel the coolness of the wind blowing in from all around, completely blowing away the heat of the hot summer.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, the breeze blows, and the surface of the lake has layers of ripples.

In the past two days, when Jun Lingxiao was busy with government affairs, he would often come and stay by himself for a while, without doing anything or saying a word, just sitting quietly for a while, feeling the wind blowing from all sides, The coolness seems to be able to slowly cool down all the restless emotions in my heart.

Get some peace, both emotionally and mentally.

There were slight footsteps in the distance, and Jun Lingxiao was gazing at the lake calmly, with an indifferent appearance, and his body was half leaning on the railing, looking a little more lazy and comfortable.

The sound of footsteps approached, and a young man in a light robe of lake blue ice silk walked into the flower hall, with a cup of tea in his hand exuding the fragrance of tea.

"Brother Huang."

Jun Lingxiao didn't look back, and said in a calm tone, "Who told you to get up?"

Ling Fan's face still looks very pale, he was seriously injured before, and woke up from time to time, laying on the bed for two or three days before he officially woke up, but those wounds healed slowly, even after waking up, he still couldn't get up. Most of the time for half a month is spent in bed.

Unable to get up, he sometimes lay on the bedside and flipped through books. The hall was too quiet, and the palace people were not allowed to enter the hall. Only when Feng Li went to change his dressing, the two could exchange a few words.

The content of the exchange was nothing more than, "His Royal Highness has explained that he is not allowed to use painkillers for His Second Highness, so I can only wrong you."

Of course Jun Lingfan didn't dare to go against his brother's wishes, so he didn't have much reaction to Fengli's words, he just nodded lightly and said: "It's okay."

I can't use painkillers, and I can only suffer by myself when the pain is severe.After half a month, it seemed as long as several months.

"I'm in good spirits today." Jun Lingfan pursed his lips, "I'm almost sick from staying in the hall."

I don't know if it's because he's in a weak state, or because he's just been beaten up once before, or because of other reasons, but Jun Lingfan's voice sounds a bit weak, and he can't see any of the previous willful flair at all.

Jun Lingxiao tilted his head and glanced at his pale face expressionlessly. After half a month of injury, his already thin body became thinner, and the robe looked looser and more elegant when worn on his body.

"Have you figured out what to explain to me?" He said indifferently, "You still owe 190 six rattan sticks. You weigh yourself to see when to pay it back."

Jun Lingfan was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Explain it, definitely not.

As for the amount owed by the rattan stick, there are still more than 190?

So, the genius couldn't bear it after suffering a hundred heads that day?

Is it because he is too weak, or is the emperor's brother too ruthless?
In fact, if you want to say ruthless, it's really not ruthless.

After all, compared to the means of Xuanyin Palace, compared to going directly to the guillotine, Brother Huang is already very kind.

It was only at this time that he deeply felt that three hundred, a number that can be easily revealed by the mouth, can instantly be transformed into an endless torment in the hands of the emperor, which is enough to make people feel cold all over the body. .

Jun Lingfan wasn't sure if he could bear hundreds of punishments again, but he knew that even if there were thousands more punishments, he would not be able to give the explanation that Brother Huang wanted.

There was a long silence in the hall.

Jun Lingfan watched the lake quietly, thinking of the injury he had sustained for more than ten days, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "These days, has your mother asked about the situation here?"

Jun Lingxiao moved slightly, and slowly adjusted to a more comfortable position leaning against the railing. After a while, he said, "Uncle Ji already knows about your situation."

Jun Lingfan raised his head in surprise, and then his eyes became a little uneasy: "Brother Huang?"

"I moved someone's son, shouldn't I report it?" Jun Lingxiao turned his head to look at him, his eyes were faint, "Do you think I should hide it from everyone?"

Jun Lingfan was speechless for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No. Brother Huang did the right thing."

He really should have let his father know.

After all, the second prince's serious injury couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to. Moreover, staying in the Tai's uterus for more than half a month without seeing anyone would only arouse some unnecessary suspicions.

Confession is the best way.

just.

Jun Lingfan was silent for a moment: "How did brother Huang tell father?"

"Tell me the truth."

These four words fell into the eardrums, and the first thought that came to Jun Lingfan's mind was, would his father guess the real reason why he murdered the princess?

What did the royal brother say to his father together?
Did he, did he faintly suspect something?
This thought flashed through Jun Lingfan's mind, Jun Lingfan's heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, his fingertips began to feel cold, his thin lips were pursed and turned white, but he still couldn't resist the chills coming from his internal organs.

What would the royal brother think of him?

Do you think he is rebellious?
Do you think he is disgusting, dirty, dirty?
Jun Lingfan's face turned pale.

It was so cold that the cold air invaded his muscles and bones, everything around him was dark, his mind was blank, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyes to see Brother Huang's expression.

He was afraid to see disdain, contempt, and disgusting eyes like looking at bedbugs in those cold eyes.

He was afraid of hearing the questioning words, even more... more afraid...

"Cold?" Jun Lingxiao watched someone standing there trembling uncontrollably, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, he couldn't help frowning, "Do you know how to wear more clothes when you come out?"
