Chapter 95
The smile on the corner of Dong Nuan Gu's mouth widened, "After the matter is completed, the prince must not forget that he promised Nuan Gu's three requests today."

"Bold! Did you say something casually, my lord?" The man in black at the side couldn't bear Dong Nuangu's attitude, and finally shouted at her.

Lord Yi slightly raised his hand to signal him not to talk too much, the man in black immediately kept silent and did not dare to say another word, only heard Lord Yi say: "Then the king will wait for the good news from Mrs. Shi Zi, please step back."

"You must satisfy the prince, and you can leave tomorrow." Dong Nuan just bowed his hands to the prince slightly, then turned and left.

Lord Yi looked at Dong Nuangu's back, the coldness in his eyes did not fade for a long time.

After Dong Nuangu left the house, the man in black handed him a cup of hot tea, lowered his head and asked respectfully: "My lord, do you want to check her again?"

"No need." Lord Yi took the teacup, and gently scraped the surface of the tea in the cup with the lid.

"Do you want to watch her every move?" the man in black asked again.

Lord Yi took a sip of tea before slowly saying: "There is no need to stay in the mansion. I will follow her when she leaves for Xishan tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

When Dong Nuangu reappeared in Si Jixia's line of sight, his palms were already covered with a thin layer of fine sweat. No one knew how tightly his heart was gripped at that moment, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he opened slightly. He opened his mouth as if he had something to say or something to ask, but then he just said softly, "Go back."

Dongnuan nodded slightly, and wanted to follow Si Jixia up the curved bridge.

At this moment, someone called Si Jixia from the direction of the attic, "My lord, please stay."

Dong Nuan stopped, turned around, and saw the man in black that he saw in the pavilion just now, and Si Jixia was also turning to look at him.

"My lord has a message for my son, let me go to the Garden of Thorns to greet my concubine." The man in black had a serious expression on his face.

When he heard the word "thorn garden", Si Jixia's eyes were distracted for a moment, and then he said lightly, "I see."

The man in black immediately turned and went back to the attic. Si Jixia also turned and walked towards the gate of the Jingyuan courtyard, his footsteps a little heavy.

After leaving the Jing Garden, Si Jixia stopped, looked at Dong Nuan and said slowly, "Miss Ah Nuan, do you remember the way back to Ji Yao?"

Dong Nuan nodded lightly, only to hear Si Jixia say again: "Then Miss A Nuan, let's go back first, I want to go to the Thorn Garden, I can't go back to Jiyao with Miss A Nuan for now."

Si Jixia's tone was a little slow when he mentioned the word "thorn garden", as if this was a place he didn't want to mention.

Dongnuan didn't leave, he just looked up at Si Jixia.

Si Jixia turned his eyes away from the verandah, and said in a calm voice, "The one who lives in the Garden of Thorns is Princess Yi, who is also...my mother."

Si Jixia paused slightly before saying the four words "my mother", as if he had to think before saying these four words, and also as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Prince Yi's concubine, Si Jixia's mother?Dong Nuan was a little surprised because she had heard from Chunqiao on the way from Gyeonggi to Qingbi County that Si Jixia's biological mother was Duan Wanqing, the concubine of Lord Yi, and Duan Wanqing was the Marquis of Dingyuan in Dongling County. However, it is not difficult to guess that Si Jixia, as the eldest son, is not treated by Prince Yi, and the main concubine Duan Presumably, Prince Yi did not welcome him, so he had the opportunity to order Yu Shi arrogantly.

And why didn't Lord Yi wait to see his concubine Duan?Dong Nuangu looked at Si Jixia's back who had already walked away and was unwilling to say anything, and seemed to recall a sentence that Qiutong said unintentionally at that time.

Back then, the first emperor assigned Prince Yi the eldest daughter of the Dongling Hou Mansion, but I don't know why the second daughter was married later.

Perhaps, this is not necessarily the reason.

But these have nothing to do with her, so why should she care about them.

Thinking in this way, Dong Nuan returned in the direction of Ji Yao.

Si Jixia, who had already turned to another veranda, stopped after taking about ten steps, turned around and looked at Dong Nuan Gu's receding back, his eyes were a little low, thoughtful, and Dong Nuan Gu seemed to notice Seeing that Si Jixia was watching her, he actually stopped at the corner ahead and turned his head to look in Si Jixia's direction.

The four eyes meet.

Dong Nuan smiled slightly, while Si Jixia turned his head hastily and continued walking.

It's just that his steps are very slow, it seems that he is not going to see his mother, but to a place that will make him feel uneasy.

The Garden of Thorns is behind the Garden of Thorns, separated by covered bridges, flower gardens and artificial mountains and water pavilions. It is not far away, but it is not close when walking.

The layout of the Jing Garden is similar to that of the Jing Garden, but the area is smaller, only half the size of the Jing Garden. There are not many maids and maidservants inside, but they are all quite idle. Some gather together to store shoes, and some gather together to embroider handkerchiefs Damn, the courtyard gate was unguarded, so Si Jixia came so close.

The maidservants gathered in the pavilion or on the porch in front of the house saw Si Jixia, but none of them came forward to pay respects. They only looked up at him and then lowered their heads to go about their own business, as if he had never appeared or had no sense of existence. , and no one went in to report.

Si Jixia didn't mind, and only slowly moved towards the depths of the yard. When he was about to pass through a moon gate, a nun about fifty years old came out from the other side of the moon gate. He was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

"Nurse Lao let me know that Ji Xia is here to visit the princess." Si Jixia lowered his head slightly towards the old nanny, his tone was light but polite.

The old mother seemed to be hesitating, but she nodded and said, "Then please wait, my son."

After the old mama finished speaking, she turned and walked back to the Moon Gate.

Si Jixia stood outside the moon gate, his cloak flapped slightly in the wind.

He just said "Princess", not "mother", he was polite and courteous, but he was not eager to see his mother.

Not long after, the old nanny came out from the moon gate, looked at Si Jixia, who was nearly two heads taller than her, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, come back, Miss doesn't want to see you."

Si Jixia drooped his eyelids slightly, and his tone was so indifferent that he couldn't hear much emotion, "Ji Xia knows, it's been cold recently, the princess's health is not good, please take care of her."

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he turned around and started to leave without any hesitation or hesitation.

When he walked a few steps, the old nanny suddenly stopped him, and said in a helpless and helpless tone: "My son should not come again in the future, no matter how many times I come, the result will be the same, my son... this is another Why bother."

After the old mama finished speaking, she sighed heavily again, Si Jixia didn't speak, and didn't look back, just kept silent and strode away.
