C90 The cause of the matter

"Nanny was injured to protect me." King Xian looked into the distance with narrowed eyes, concealing the cold intent in his eyes as he softly spoke those words.

When Shen Qi sensed the change in the prince's aura, she had been guessing that there might be some secret behind Mother Song's illness. As expected, when she heard the Prince's words, she could feel that the Prince was not calm when he spoke of this matter, and she immediately regretted asking him about it.

It was as if King Duan could sense Shen Qi's thoughts. He held her hand and exerted a little strength, but it did not make her feel uncomfortable. "I am very happy that you asked me this question." The only thing I'm afraid of is that you don't care about anything.

Shen Qi raised her head and looked at him. This man had always been noble and cold, indifferent to everything, but she had always displayed his gentleness and gentleness to her. In order to let her feel at ease and come to the villa to celebrate her birthday, in order to let her let go of her heart and allow her to avoid him time and time again.

As a prince of a country, he had everything he wanted. Why did he need to go this far? Shen Qi sometimes felt that she should be satisfied just thinking about it. Even if something happened in the future, she couldn't deny his current efforts, so she tried to believe in him and show him her true self.

Enjoy the moment, no matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment she can be sure that the prince is serious, if he is willing to make such concessions for her, it means that he has feelings for her, so she will try to build a home with him.

Thinking about that, Shen Qi held his hand, smiled at him, and gave him an encouraging look, as if to say, "I'm by your side." King Duan's eyes immediately lit up, very, very bright. Shen Qi had never seen his eyes so bright before.

Although he was very emotional, he still could not do those childish actions. He could only look into each other's eyes, full of affection. Then, they smiled at each other. Everything was silent.

Shen Qi realized that it was actually quite foolish to keep looking at him like that, so she shook his hand with a blushing face. Duanren Emperor coughed to conceal his uneasiness, then continued with his previous topic, "When I was five years old, it was in the summer that heavy rain fell consecutively, causing the moat to break.

My mother was always busy fighting for the favor of the Consort De, so I had no one watching over me. royal father liked the King Rui that was given by the Consort De, and treated his other sons with a nonchalant attitude. The entire palace had always held me in high regard, and at that time, the maids and eunuchs that took care of me all ran over to curry favor with the Consort De and the King Rui.

"My palace is close to an artificial river. When the flood first came, the first thing that it affected was my residence. At that time, everyone was busy saving a few powerful people, so they naturally neglected my small palace." When Duke Xian said this, his eyes turned cold. Shen Qi knew that he remembered the scene back then and immediately held his hand tightly.

He took a deep breath and continued, "The flood came with great ferocity. The wet nurse and that big palace maid tried their best to open the palace door, and just as they were about to carry me and rush out, that big palace maid actually ran out first and closed the door tightly. At that time, we were all shocked and couldn't react at all."

At that time, the wet nurse was shouting Ying Ge, the big palace maid, to open the door. At that time, she said something that caused them to fall into despair, and she said that she was already someone from the Consort De. When the wet nurse heard that, she was shocked, but she did not expect that the big palace maid, who was taking care of me, would also betray her master.

At that time, Ying Ge was very firm, and after that, she started to tempt him, but no matter what Ying Nong said, she did not believe it at all. She felt that the Consort De could give her even more, and whether or not I, as a prince who didn't have anything, could live to see the light of day.

"Even the crown prince himself was unable to stop the momentum of the King Rui, let alone a powerless little kid." A bitter smile appeared on King Xian's face as he said this.

"Ying Ge left without any hesitation. Before he left, he did not forget to block the door, leaving me and my wet nurse behind, unable to advance or retreat." At this time, the nanny knew that there was no hope of getting out unless someone was outside opening the door, and calling for help was a waste of time, so she tried to find a way to lift the big bed, the table, and the stools, layer by layer, high enough to be useful, and then lift me up to the top, while half her body was immersed in the water to support me. "

"The wet nurse didn't forget to change my clothes and sit high on the upholstered stool to keep from getting wet. In order to stabilize the stool that had to bear my weight, she had to support me from the bottom."

"By the time Imperial Brother found me, we had already been waiting in the palace for close to eight hours." By the time Imperial Brother found me, we had already been waiting in the palace for close to eight hours.

Originally, he wanted to come over immediately to save me, because he knew that my residence was the easiest place to get water in. However, the Queen Mother stopped him, and wanted him to save royal father, so he went up to royal father to get a good impression.

So I had no choice but to return to royal father's palace. However, when I was done with everything and wanted to come visit him, she found out that her mother did not send anyone to save me, and was only concerned with showing off to her father in front of the Consort De, and did not even remember that she still had a son soaking in the water. "Su Yun said in a soft voice.

After that, we had a cold war for half a year, and even if we made up, we still wouldn't be as close as we were before. From now on, royal brother can no longer be at ease with the others and will personally bring me along, but this wet nurse has fallen sick to the ground and can no longer even see any water in her legs.

Although she did improve a lot later on, as she grew older, her old ailments became more prominent. I heard that the hot spring could improve it, so I bought this manor to help the wet nurse retire. "

After saying that, King Duan looked at Shen Qi and said, "Now do you know why Imperial Mother is always so cautious towards me?" As she spoke, she laughed at herself because she felt guilty. Furthermore, he was not the same as before. She was afraid, afraid that he would turn the tables on her. It was just too realistic!

Shen Qi finally understood why he had such a deep affection for the Emperor. Furthermore, even if Duke Xian held the military power, Shen Qi would no longer fear him even if his prestige was higher.

Shen Qi felt that his personality very possibly had changed at that time. The betrayal of the people beside him and her mother's disregard were just too cruel for a five year old child.

As his heart ached for Yun Che, he tightly held his hand. Finally, Shen Qi asked: "Where is that Main Palace Lady who has a master behind her?"

"She died, she died in the hands of the Consort De." Seeing the wangfei twitch her lips, he still didn't tell her about how frightening Ying Ge's death had been. At that time, Ying Ge's entire body was bruised green and purple. When they fished him out of the water, they were all scared to death.

No one knew what happened after soaking in it for a few days. In any case, it was extremely frightening. The palace maids and eunuchs responsible for salvaging her had nightmares for a long time when they returned.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was too young, who knows how he would have splashed him with dirty water, seeing the injuries on Ying Ge's body, Consort De would have asked for a servant to be used by her, but would definitely not be willing to keep this person by her side.

Back then, no one else knew about the mastermind behind Ying Ge's death, so even if Consort De killed her immediately, she did not let herself get caught up in it. On the contrary, at that time, he still received some suspicions that Ying Ge's death was related to him, and when he thought about it, King Xian could not help but feel disgusted.

Seeing that his entire body had started to emit cold air, Shen Qi shook his hands and pulled him back, "Let's not talk about her anymore, in the future, let's properly filial piety and filial piety."

Hearing her say "We" so naturally to properly filial piety, King Xian felt his heart soften. It would be us from now on.

Thus, she smiled and nodded. "The wangfei really likes it here!" It was a tone of certainty.

Shen Qi nodded his head, "That's right, winter and summer are different here. They are far away from the clamoring and peaceful." She turned her head and smiled. "Actually, the first time you brought me here, I thought that if you had someone you like, I would voluntarily give up my seat and live a good life here."

Upon hearing these words, King Xian tightly grasped her hand and coldly said, "Don't even think about it, unless you come with me." Her overbearing tone was completely exposed as she stared at Ye Ci, making her instinctively feel danger.

He then laughed and changed the topic, teasingly asking, "Today is my birthday, where's your present?"
