Chapter 69: Worry and worry (4)

Shen Xiyao returned to the Imperial Study Room. After he left, I told Hui Ju to spread what I said to her that day in the house where the maid lived. In this way, Kunning Palace must have known the news tomorrow, and no one would question it.
Combining with what he had heard from elsewhere will definitely make him act again.
It was night, and I was lying on an empty bed, tossing and turning, awake.
Outside Shen Xiyao ordered to increase the number of guards to fifteen people, not counting the people patrolling the courtyard.
In the silent night, there was no moonlight. I was thinking that at this time he was discussing national affairs with his brother. I had never seen him like that.
But I believe that he is a man who is full of energy, has the world in mind, and has a good strategy. He is a true prince and a true general.
But he is not the one who enjoys poems and paintings with me, playing flute and enjoying flowers.
At this time, he has the firmness of the eyes he looked at me that day behind the chrysanthemum bushes, but it is not as warm as water before.
I was awakened by severe pain in the early morning of the next day. I was weak and felt cold. My genius was slightly bright. I didn't sleep for long and my head was still dizzy. I don't know why it was like this overnight. I was panicked. At the same time, I told myself that I couldn't delay it.
Looking at the sky outside, it is far from the time I usually get up, not to mention that because of my injury, Shen Xiyao told me not to disturb me.
I wanted to call Hui Ju, who was outside, but found that I didn't have the strength to speak, and the sound was like a mosquito hum. I felt total fear and moved my body, trying to make a sound with something.
There are no artifacts around this carved mahogany and gold bed. I looked up at the high magenta bed curtain, which was covered with pearls and jade, and there were heavy golden hooks. I stretched out my hand and pulled it. I tried it, but with a slight sway, I moved forward again and looked at the hard ground. With a heartbeat, I pulled the curtain with all my strength and fell down by myself.
"Crash!" The bed curtain fell when I fell heavily to the ground and hit me. I felt a dim pain, and there was a heavy object pressing on me.
I want to move my body, but find that I can't do it anymore.
I looked at the closed door, the sound was not small, and my eyes were full of expectation.
The door was pushed open, and the light in the morning came in. I saw a figure in the light, and the outside was empty.
I raised my head hard, I thought it was Hui Ju, but when I saw the person’s face clearly, my heart was like a well in the twelfth lunar month, and it cooled down completely. The figure gradually approached, my But with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he looked outside the empty door. I hope to see Hui Ju's figure, or any guard.
But I only saw the white dangling sunlight, so dazzling, I only felt the cold wind in the morning, I did not feel cold, watching the blue figure walking in front of me, the familiar but unfamiliar face, I closed Closed eyes.
"It hurts." His voice came, and I looked up at him without speaking.
"No one can tolerate this poison, and if it happens, it will definitely die within three days."
His tone was very calm: "But you don't have to worry about three days of pain, now I will let you free."
When I heard this, my heart suddenly calmed down, and my breathing returned to peace. I opened my eyes again, and even though I couldn't change my posture, I fell to the ground.
Seeing him staring at me coldly, I said in the most normal voice: "Little Guizi, help my palace up."
He was obviously taken aback, I smiled, his feet moved, but they didn't move.
I continued: "Little Guizi, help my palace up." The voice was still calm, and then I looked up at him.
Struggle and hesitation in his eyes, I stopped and smiled and said, "Why?"
The expression on his face was surprised, and I said, "Why are you hurting me? Is it because of your brother?"
Xiao Guizi paused and finally spoke: "Yes, if you didn't have to get the hairpin back, my brother would not die."
I was stunned: "Yes, this palace shouldn't care about that hairpin." The voice went low, "But, this palace didn't mean it."
He sneered and said, "Is it not intentional, can I get the lives of my brother and my mother back?"
I was surprised: "Your mother?" My heart became heavy.
"Yeah, my mother threw herself into the river when she found out about my brother's death." He cried.
I saw that teardrop, and my heart ached. I really didn't expect it to be like this.
"My mother loves my brother the most. At the beginning, my brother wanted to go to the palace to do things to subsidize the family. My mother refused. If my father fell ill later, my brother would not come in, but she never thought of it. But went..."
Little Guizi was crying, and I shed tears. Just as he was about to say something, his tone changed: "So I will kill you, avenge my brother, and avenge my mother!!"
His voice became fierce, but I was not afraid: "But, have you thought about it, kill me, you can't live by yourself"
He smiled lightly: "I am not afraid of death."
I sighed, "But if you kill me, your family can't live anymore."
His face softened, and he smiled: "My family, my family is no longer there. After my mother went, they said that my brother had offended the lady in the palace, and the magistrate shut them all up. My father was in jail because he was in poor health. The younger brother was sent to hard labor and the younger sister was sent to the official prostitute."
I didn't listen to his words, but I felt a deep sense of guilt. My heart was dripping with blood, and I couldn't breathe.
