There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 144
The reason why Xia Houjing appeared here is very coincidental.

He had just been free today, and he wanted to talk to Third Brother and thank Li Guiren for his affairs.

It's just that Xia Houjue went out temporarily and was not in the East Palace.

He wanted to leave directly, but saw a few young eunuchs running from the backyard with ashen faces, shouting as they ran, "It's not good, the princess and concubine has fallen into the water".

Human life is on the line of life and death.

He didn't care about other things, he directly raised his breath and flew towards the backyard, and finally rescued her from the lake before her body sank into the ice cave.

Seeing the person in his arms huddled into a ball with a pale face, he felt inexplicably distressed, but at the same time he felt a little grateful.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

"cold……"

Tang Wanning only saw a white figure before she fainted. She subconsciously hugged him tightly to absorb more warmth, and soon passed out.

Xia Houjing frowned, wrapped the only pure white brocade cloak on her body, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan!"

Where did the palace people dare to be negligent, they should have retreated.

Xia Houjing was about to turn around and go to the Chongming Hall, at this moment, Xia Houjue led someone in from the main entrance.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Xia Houjing subconsciously turned around and met Xia Houjue's gaze.

One black and one white looked at each other from a distance, and the air almost froze.

The surrounding servants tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the prince's power would splash the blood on the spot.

In the end, whether His Highness the Sixth Highness and the Crown Princess can kiss each other or not!
Xia Houjing looked at the person in his arms, and strode towards Xia Houjue.

"Third brother!" Holding Tang Wanning in his arms, he couldn't salute.

"Sister-in-law three suddenly fell into the water, brother..."

"Needless to say!" Xia Houjue stopped him expressionlessly.

His eyes fell on Tang Wanning, to be precise, on her arms tightly hugging Xia Houjing's waist.

Those arms used to be so lively and playful, able to write, draw, draw a bow and shoot arrows, especially those hands, with slender and flexible fingers, he yearned for a long time.

But now it is actually around the waist of another man.

Even if that man is the sixth younger brother who has always been friends with him, he is still upset, very upset!
Unable to bear it any longer, Xia Houjue reached out and took Tang Wanning over.

In a coma, Tang Wanning hugged Xia Houjing's waist and refused to let go, Xia Houjue had no choice but to break her arms away with a dark face.

It wasn't until Tang Wanning curled up in her arms and calmed down that his expression softened a bit.

"The younger brother didn't intend to offend the third sister-in-law, it was really forced by the situation, please forgive me!" Xia Houjing clasped his fists and saluted.

"No problem, the sixth brother is eager to save people, I should be grateful to Guzi!"

Looking at the pale face of the woman in his arms, Xia Houjue's heart seemed to have collapsed.

"It's not too late, Gu Gu will take a step first, sixth brother please go ahead!"

Holding Tang Wanning in his arms, he strode towards the Chongming Hall. The black robe was blown by the north wind, fluttering up and down with his footsteps, like the wings of a black eagle spreading in the sky.

She curled up in his arms, tightly clutching his robe with her slender hands, like a cat.

Xia Houjing froze in place: so such a high-spirited person also has such a small bird side?
When he turned to leave, he happened to bump into two imperial physicians.

He looked back at the Chongming Palace in a hurry, and then at the ice and snow outside Yuqing Palace.

He strode away, and a figure dressed in white, as warm as jade, quickly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​snow.

……

In winter, the lake water is so cold that it seems to be able to pierce the bone marrow.

Tang Wanning's calf was knocked on the hard and sharp ice, almost fractured, and after soaking in the ice water for too long, her legs were already swollen and purple, and she lost consciousness.

Looking at the calf wrapped in the shape of a mallet by the imperial physician, Tang Wanning smiled weakly and helplessly.

"Is it so serious? I don't feel a lot of pain, maybe it's broken, or why I don't feel it?"

"No way!" After sending the imperial physician away, Biyue stood outside the door crying and couldn't bear to come in for a long time.

Hearing what Tang Wanning said, she couldn't help rushing in and wiping her tears to reprimand her.

"Master, don't talk nonsense, it won't happen, the imperial doctor said it's all right!"

Biluo looked melancholy.

"The imperial doctor didn't say it's all right. He said that the master's legs were frozen because he couldn't feel it, and his bones were injured. Let the master recuperate well and take the medicine on time."

"What can you do if you don't talk!" Bi Yue was so anxious that tears were about to flow down again.

"Okay!" Tang Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Stop arguing here, you all go down first!"

These two people had dark clouds on their faces, which put her under a lot of pressure.

Bi Yue and Bi Luo took a sneak look at the black-faced prince who was sitting at the table without saying a word, exchanged glances, and both left.

The palace people finally left, and there were only two people left in the room.

Xia Houjue stood up and sat down in front of the hospital bed, looking at her calmly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, there is no particular reason, the ice is not strong..." Tang Wanning felt guilty for a while.

In fact, she couldn't figure out how the ice could suddenly crack, since there wasn't even a single crack before.

Could it be that someone framed it, but there is no evidence for this kind of thing and you can't talk nonsense.

"Oh?" Xia Houjue raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Are you insulting Gu's mind? The ice is not strong now, when will it be firm?"

Tang Wanning thought about it, and yes, this is the time when the ice layer is the thickest, so it should be no problem for her to run on the ice to play.

But she couldn't find any reason, so she had to smash the jar.

"Then I don't know, I swear I didn't do anything, just tried a few hidden weapons!"

"Which ones?"

"That's...the ones sent by His Highness the Sixth Highness, the pear blossom needle, the meteor hammer..." She gave the names of those hidden weapons like a few treasures.

Xia Houjue's face turned even darker.

"These are just gadgets, more delicate than powerful."

The thinnest part of the ice surface is more than half a foot thick, and it is almost impossible to penetrate it with a hidden weapon alone.

So there must be a conspiracy behind it.

"That's it!"

"You have a good rest first, this matter will be investigated properly."

Xia Houjue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tang Wanning whose face was still pale, and asked with an uncomfortable expression.

"What do you want to eat tonight? Ask someone to make it for you!"

Tang Wanning didn't have any appetite, she just said something casually, and then lay on the bed miserable and motionless.

Xia Houjue couldn't say anything, silently tucked the quilt for her, got up and left.

……

There are bedrooms in the Chongming Palace, and usually Xia Houjue doesn't want to spend the night with his little wife, so he sleeps in his own bedroom.

Now this bedroom was occupied by Tang Wanning, he had nowhere to go, so he had to turn around and go to the study.

Sitting in front of the desk, he frowned and thought for a while, and finally called Heiyan.

"Go and find out, who is coming in and out around Yuqing Palace today! Besides, take someone to the back garden to see if there is anything suspicious!"

"Yes!"

Hei Yan clasped his fists and left, Xia Houjue stared out of the window where he left in a daze.
