Ban Hua suddenly turned around and saw a man in mysterious clothes. He wore a nine-beaded dragon crown on his head and a Dragon Subduing Pendant hanging around his waist. He had flying green eyebrows and starry eyes. He was a face she was very familiar with.

She slept with him in the same bed, whispering sweetly. He was the closest man to her besides her father and brother.

"Flawless appearance..."

The capital city disappeared behind her, and there was no trace of the terrifying cemetery. The whole world was completely white, and there was only her and Rong Xian in Xuan Yi.

"Huahua?" Rong Xia heard Banhua calling her name in a coma, rushed to the bed and grabbed her hand, "Huahua?"

Ban Hua slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her blankly: "Fair appearance?"

"It's me," Rong Xia saw that she didn't look right, thinking that she had just woken up and was feeling unwell, so she turned around and said, "Come here, find the imperial doctor quickly."

He was wearing a light-colored brocade robe and no jade pendant. His expression looked a little haggard, not at all similar to the majestic face she had just seen.

"Don't be afraid. The imperial doctor said that there is not much problem with your body. You just need to take good care of yourself for a while." Rong Xia touched her forehead. "How do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with you?" Comfortable?"

"I'm thirsty..." As soon as Banhua opened her mouth, she found that her voice was rough and unpleasant. She opened her eyes wide in horror. What was going on?

"Don't worry, the imperial doctor said you hurt your throat and it will be fine in a few days." Rong Xia kissed her forehead, and the maid had already brought warm soup.

Banhua's whole body felt extremely weak, and her head felt dizzy and painful, as if something was pulling at her brain.

After Rong Xia fed Banhua a few spoonfuls of soup, he took the bowl away. Banhua stared at Rong Xia in disbelief. How long had she been lying on the bed, and Rong Xia didn't even give her anything to eat?

Being stared at by her aggrieved eyes, he felt distressed and helpless: "The imperial doctor said that you can't eat too much when you wake up. Your stomach is weak now, so you can't eat too much at once. I'll feed you again in two quarters of an hour."

Seeing that Rong Xia was resolute, Banhua knew that the matter was out of discussion, so she buried her face in the quilt and became silent.

The room was very quiet. If she hadn't been sure that Rong Xia had not left, she would have thought that there was no one in the room.

"Huahua, it's great that you're okay."

After a long time, she heard Rong Xia say this.

Putting his head out of the quilt, Ban Hua saw Rong Xia showing a smile that was too gentle to describe in words. Her heart trembled slightly, she secretly dug at the sheets under the quilt, opened her mouth and said, "I won't get into trouble so easily."

"Well," Rong Xia quickly turned his head, then turned back again after a moment, "I'm very happy."

Ban Hua saw a flash of water in Rong Xia's eyes, as if... she had cried?

"You..." Banhua coughed twice, and Rong Xia brought her a glass of light salt water to rinse her mouth. She said in her ugly voice, "There are servants, why do you need to do these things?"

"It's okay." Rong Xia wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Only when he saw Huahua open her eyes and speak, and watch her drink water, could he feel at ease.

He had many calculations in his life. Whatever he said or did, he had already planned everything. The only surprise was getting married to the woman in front of him. He is not a person who makes things difficult for himself, and he will not force himself to give up this accident.

He was happy to be married to her.

On this road to glory, he wants to have someone to enjoy the glory, benefits, and scenery he has earned. If he gets everything in the world, but no one is happy or satisfied with it, then what he has done is meaningful. What's the point?

"Rong Xia," Ban Hua just woke up and was not in good spirits. Now she was dizzy and a little sleepy. She said sleepily, "I asked the people in the garment factory to make some clothes a few days ago. New robe, you can show it to me after I recover."

"Okay," Rong Xia covered her with the quilt, "When you recover, I will wear whatever you want me to tell you. Even if you let me show you without clothes, I am also willing."

"Shameless." Banhua muttered and fell asleep.

Rong Xia chuckled lightly, stole a kiss on the corner of her lips, stood up and walked to the door, saying to the maid standing guard outside: "Take good care of the princess, I will be back in a while."

"Yes." The maids saluted with red faces, not daring to look directly at Rong Xian's appearance.

Although they stood outside, they still accidentally heard a few words whispered in the room between the Marquis and the Princess.

Rong Xia left the main courtyard and said to the boy guarding outside the courtyard: "Go and invite Mr. Wang Qu to the study."

"Yes." The boy ran out quickly.

Du Jiu, who had just arrived, saw this scene and looked a little solemn: "Master Hou, what did Wang Qu do?" He has been with Master Hou for so many years. The calmer his expression, it means that he has made up his mind. made a decision.

After the Marquis and Princess Fule set their wedding date, the Marquis didn't trust Wang Qu as much as before, and he rarely let Wang Qu pass by the study. Now that he suddenly wanted to see Wang Qu, Du Jiu didn't think it was true. is a good thing.

Rong Xia ignored him and just turned around and walked to the study. Du Jiu hesitated for a moment and quickly followed.

It was a bit cold in the Marquis's Mansion in early spring. Wang Qu came to the door of the study, looked at the half-open door, and bowed: "My subordinate, Wang Qu, would like to see you."

The door was opened, and the person who opened the door was Du Jiu. Wang Qu glanced at Du Jiu, who walked aside expressionlessly. Wang Qu's heart skipped a beat and he felt his palms getting cold.

"Master Hou." He walked to the center of the room obediently and saluted Rong Xia.

Rong Xia raised her eyelids to look at him, and after a while she excused him, "How long have you been with me?"

"Going back to the Marquis, it has been six years since I received the favor of the Marquis when I was at my lowest. I am willing to die for the Marquis without any regrets." Wang Qu's heart calmed down little by little, "It's just I don’t know why the Marquis seems unwilling to reuse his subordinates recently."

Rong Xia's tone was cold and without warmth: "Did you intercept the news from Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Since the last murder incident, he has intensified his surveillance of Prince Ning's Mansion. This time, Prince Ning asked the maid to poison Huahua, which was not a small move, but he did not receive any warning in advance, which only meant that something was wrong with the people under his command.

Wang Qu's expression changed drastically. He hesitated for a moment, lifted up his robe and knelt in front of Rong Xia: "Master Hou, I know that this is an unforgivable crime, but before Master Hou punishes me, I have some questions. I have something to say, but for the sake of the years of friendship between master and servant, please let me finish."

"Since you know that you and the master are master and servant, how dare you act arbitrarily?" Du Jiu did not expect that this matter was related to Wang Qu. He couldn't help but cursed, "What you did is the same as betraying the master." What's the difference?"

"Everything I did was for the master, for the master's hegemony." Although Wang Qu was kneeling, his back was straight and he did not regret his choice. "Princess Fule is not worthy of doing this. As the mistress of the house, the Marquis was beguiled by her beauty."

"Du Jiu," Rong Xia closed her eyes, "Take him down."

"Even if the master wants my life, I will say it," Wang Qu kowtowed to Rong Xia, "Ban is the enchantress who has subjugated the country, and the master must not be deceived by him. You have sacrificed for this corrupt world. How can all your hard work be ruined because of a woman?"

Rong Xia opened her eyes, "Wang Qu, do you know what kind of person I hate the most?"

"I can't afford to take away subordinates who are self-righteous and make decisions without permission." Rong Xia lowered her eyelids, "For the sake of our relationship as master and servant, I will not take your life, and I will even arrange for two people to be killed." To serve you."

Wang Qu’s expression changed drastically. He knew what his master would do when he became angry.

"Master, I just want to die."

Rong Xia ignored him and two boys in ordinary clothes dragged him down.

One day later, Wang Qu, a guest in the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion, drank too much. The remaining candles in the house burned out and caused a fire. He did not know how to escape. Although he was rescued in the end, his voice was hoarse and burned. My hands, feet, and even my eyes are not working well. However, Cheng'an Hou was kind-hearted and not only did he not dislike him, he even specially arranged a small yard for him to recuperate.

After hearing this, the other Qing Kes raised in the house couldn't help but lament that Cheng'an Hou's house was kind-hearted and prepared to keep this useless Qing Ke for the rest of his life.

Banhua heard the news the next day. She drank a few spoonfuls of vegetable soup with Ruyi's hand: "Is the Qingke you are talking about Wang Qu?"

"It's him." Ruyi was afraid that the princess would be bored, so she found some outside things to tell Banhua. "I heard from the servants of the Hou Mansion that this Mr. Wang is very much used by the Marquis. I don’t like women, so I just like to drink a few sips of wine. I didn’t expect that it would lead to such a big disaster.”

Banhua coughed a few times and touched his itchy throat: "Maybe it's bad luck."

"It's not bad luck. I met such a good master like the Marquis, but this happened. It's not bad luck. How could I have encountered such a thing." Ruyi didn't dare to drink too much for Banhua. After putting down the bowl, he said, "Master Hou went out before dawn today. It seems that he investigated the poison case for you, master."

Speaking of this, Ruyi said a few more good words for Rong Xia, because she saw with her own eyes how kind Marquis Cheng An was to his master, "After you fell into coma, the Marquis barely rested. Although he didn't have much rest, It’s a shame, but during the two days when you were unconscious, I felt that the Marquis’s eyes were like ice particles, which stung my whole body with chills.”

Rong Xia smiled: "Didn't you think he was a handsome gentleman in the past? How could his eyes be so scary?"

"I can't answer this," Ruyi laughed softly, "but I dare to make a guess. It's probably because the Marquis cares about you too much."

"Choose nice words again," Banhua closed her eyes, her face calm and peaceful, "I'll take a nap."

"Yes."

Ruyi stood up and put down the gauze curtain for Banhua, and quietly retreated to the outside.

Rong Xia entered the palace, but what he saw was not Emperor Yun Qing, but the prince who was overseeing the country.

"Master Hou, is there any misunderstanding about this matter? How could the second brother do such a thing?" The prince said in disbelief after reading the confession of the palace maid Xiao Yu, "This..."

Shi, who was sitting next to the prince, did not speak, but in her opinion, it was possible for Prince Ning to do anything. What can't someone do who can do something like sending troops to suppress innocent victims? What's more, even if King Ning didn't do this, he should still be held accountable. The father has two legitimate sons. As long as Prince Ning is trampled to death, no one will threaten the crown prince's status.

But she couldn't say this because she had been married to the prince for so many years and knew that the prince was a soft-hearted person and was very tolerant of his brother Ning, Prince Ning. If he were to know his thoughts, the prince would definitely be angry.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Cheng Anhou, hoping that Cheng Anhou would be more firm in his attitude.

"Your Highness, Wei Chen is even more unwilling to believe it than you are. Wei Chen believes that although Prince Ning and the princess have occasional disagreements, they are still cousins, and even if there is a huge conflict, they will not have to fight. "Human life," seeing the prince's wavering attitude, Rong Xia's tone remained unchanged, "The princess is innocent and naive, and I really don't understand how much hatred Prince Ning has, so he wants to arrange for a palace maid to poison her?"

The prince was speechless and couldn't say a word. On one side was his younger brother and on the other was his favorite cousin. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. He sighed repeatedly and was too embarrassed to look up at Rong Xia.

Innocent and naive?

The Crown Princess sneered, and Marquis Cheng'an was really embarrassed to say, what is there about Banhua that is incompatible with innocence and coquettishness? From her point of view, it is obviously more appropriate to be arrogant and unruly.

The prince put down the confession and asked, "Is Hua girl okay now?"

"Although her life has been saved, her body needs to be taken care of for a while. The imperial doctor said that she cannot have children within two years." Rong Xia lowered her eyelids, "Wei Chen does not care about children, but the county The Lord's body has suffered such a great sin, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"I know," the prince sighed, "I... I know..."

The prince did not believe Rong Xia's words that he did not care about children. He had been married to the prince for several years and had only one daughter who was a concubine. Because of this, countless officials asked him to have more concubines. Now it is no longer clear whether he has a legitimate son. It is important that at least one son is born so that more courtiers can support him.

Thinking of this, the prince felt even more guilty, "Master Hou, if you ask me to think about it again, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Prince, I don't need you to give me an explanation. I just need Prince Ning to give an explanation to the princess." Rong Xia's attitude still didn't soften. "If His Highness the Crown Prince can't do this, Wei Chen only needs to give an explanation to the princess." If you can, please go and see Your Majesty."

"Master Hou, why are you doing this..."

"Prince," the Crown Princess saw that Cheng Anhou's face was getting colder and colder. She knew that if the prince continued to speak, he would only anger Cheng An Hou, so she interrupted the prince, "This matter is very involved. I think that I should Report to Your Majesty."

"This is a matter between Gu and my second brother, you don't need to say anything."

The Crown Princess's face changed slightly, but she still spoke again: "Prince, you are the crown prince of a country, and Prince Ning is the prince of a country. If Prince Ning does something like this, it is no longer a private matter, but involves the court. big event."

The dignified prince poisoned the princess, and after his minions were caught, Prince Ning actually wanted to go to the dungeon to rob someone. It would be fine if the person was snatched out and silenced successfully, but the person was not snatched away and was punished. This kind of thing that is both embarrassing and embarrassing is something that normal people cannot do.

If the prince still wants to protect Prince Ning, it will not only be disappointing to Marquis Chengan, but also to the disappointment of all the ministers in the dynasty.

As a prince, he can't distinguish the importance of things, and he can't distinguish between public and private affairs. How can the courtiers feel relieved? If she were a courtier instead of a princess, she would be disappointed with this kind of prince.

The prince looked ugly when the princess said this, but he did not say anything else. He returned the confession to Rong Xia, "Master Hou, you...sigh."

Rong Xia glanced at the lost prince and put the confession back into his arms: "Wei Chen takes his leave."

"Master Rong," the prince saw Rong Xia coming to the door and stopped him and said, "Please save some face for Prince Ning."

Rong Xia looked back at the prince with a complicated expression.

"Prince, what Prince Ning wants is my wife's life."

After saying this, he strode out of the East Palace without looking back, with that decisive attitude, as if he would never look back here again.

The Crown Princess felt a chill in her heart and smiled bitterly. The Crown Prince had finally offended the Marquis of Cheng'an. She stood up and looked at the bewildered prince, bowed to him quietly, and left. He is a good man with a soft heart, and she is a woman who values ​​interests. She cannot understand the prince's kindness, just as the prince dislikes her real power more and more.

I don’t know which one of them is wrong.

"Your Majesty," Wang De walked into the inner hall holding a fly whisk in hand, "Marquis Cheng'an wants to see you."

Emperor Yunqing, who was leaning on the imperial couch, opened his eyes and waved the palace maid who was beating his legs to leave. His voice was a little weak and lazy: "Is he here because of the case of Hua Yatou being poisoned?"

Wang De lowered his head and said, "I don't know."

Emperor Yun Qing looked at his shriveled and shriveled legs: "Let him come in."

Wang De exited the palace and saluted Rong Xia who was waiting outside the palace: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty, please come in."

Rong Xia walked in, and Wang De bowed and followed him. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Shi Jin was patrolling outside Dayue Palace with the imperial guards. He stopped, turned around and cupped his hand at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin returned the favor.

"Deputy Commander, this Wang De's eyes are as high as his head, and he is quite respectful to Marquis Cheng'an," a team leader following Shi Jin said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "This is really rare."

He almost wanted to say that Marquis Cheng'an might be His Majesty's son, but they were making money in Dayue Palace and he did not dare to say this.

Shi Jin never believed this rumor and said directly: "Don't talk nonsense."

If Rong Xia was really His Majesty’s illegitimate son, how could the Queen let her family take care of him? Which woman in the world would sincerely take care of the children her husband had with other women?

"Jun Po, I can understand your feelings, but the royal family cannot cause such embarrassing things." Emperor Yun Qing looked at Rong Xia, "I will compensate you and Hua Yatou, and I will also give you to the second brother. You give me an explanation, but don’t make this matter a big deal."

Rong Xia knelt in front of Emperor Yun Qing: "Your Majesty, the princess almost lost her life because of this incident."

"I know," Emperor Yun Qing threw the confession into the brazier, "but this matter cannot be given to you and your wife."

"Wei Chen understands," Rong Xia kowtowed to Emperor Yun Qing. He looked up at Emperor Yun Qing's haggard and old face, "Wei Chen has caused your Majesty to worry. Please take care of your dragon body."

"I understand," Emperor Yun Qing nodded lightly, "Please step back."

Rong Xia stood up and retreated slowly.

Emperor Yun Qing looked at the confession that had been burned cleanly, and said to Wang De: "There are many young and promising talents in the court, but only Rong Xia is the one who suits me best."

Know what can be done, know what cannot be done, and know how to stop when appropriate. These behaviors seem simple, but it is extremely difficult to actually do them.

Wang De looked at the brazier with only ashes remaining and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are right."

In Prince Ning's Mansion, Xie Wanyu played with only half of the rouge left in his hand, and handed the rouge to the dowry maid behind him.

"I don't like this rouge anymore. Let's use it all tonight."

The hands of the palace maid holding the rouge box trembled slightly: "This box doesn't look very good when I look at it..."

"Then burn it, clean it, and it's all over." Xie Wanyu stood up and opened the window, looking at the sun in the blue sky, "I heard that Banhua is awake?"

"Yes, Princess."

"Tsk," Xie Wanyu sneered, "This has caused trouble for thousands of years. Even if she has a good life, she will not die like this."

"That's all, it has nothing to do with me anymore," Xie Wanyu looked back at the palace maid's rouge, "You go ahead."

The palace maid bowed her knees and hurriedly left.

Outside the Daye Palace, Rong Xia was riding a horse on the street. When she passed by a stall selling sugar dough figures, she suddenly remembered that Banhua liked these gadgets. She was staying in the Hou Mansion all day to take care of her health and could not go out. , it must be boring.

"Du Jiu, go find some skilled folk craftsmen to the Marquis Mansion and ask them to relieve the princess' boredom."

So when Banhua woke up again that afternoon, she found a bunch of various gadgets on her desk.

She looked at Rong Xia doubtfully: "Did you buy everything in the shop?"

"I didn't buy it. I invited the owner of the shop." Rong Xia smiled and fed her vegetable broth. Now Banhua can drink some soup with minced meat, but she still can't eat too much. On the other hand, Rong Xia is very strict. No matter how much Banhua tries to act coquettishly, it will be useless. "Whatever you like, just let them do it."

"I like the noodle restaurant you took me to last time."

"Let him do it for you in a few days."

"How many more days will it take?"

"Two or three days will be enough."

Banhua said with a bitter face: "That will take at least twenty or thirty hours."

"When you recover, I will accompany you to eat whatever you want, good boy." Rong Xia fed Banhua another mouthful of meat and vegetable soup, and he drank the rest in front of Banhua. , prompting Banhua to punch him.

"You have the strength to hit me now. It seems that you can eat some vegetable noodles tomorrow." Rong Xia smiled and hugged Banhua into his arms, "Don't move too much, otherwise your head will hurt again soon."

The imperial doctor said that it is normal to have dizziness and headache after taking Aconitum orally. Medical books record that after someone mistakenly took this medicine, although his life was saved, the person became crazy. Fortunately, Huahua spit out the medicine in time. Apart from the excessive blood loss and being too weak to have a baby for the time being, there was no other impact.

After making Banhua happy, Rong Xia received a secret letter.

"Master, should we report it to His Majesty?"

Rong Xia threw the secret letter into the copper basin with a half-smile, lit a fire and watched it burn away bit by bit.

"What are you reporting?" He looked up at Du Jiu, "I don't know anything."

Du Jiu bent down: "I don't know anything, either."

At midnight in early spring, it was as cold as winter. The sound of wind blowing outside the window made Emperor Yunqing wake up.

He looked at the shadowy black figures outside the window and called out: "Come here."

There was dead silence in the spacious hall. He waited for a while, but no one came in.

"Here comes someone!"

Squeak.

He heard the sound of the palace door being blown open, but because his sight was blocked by heavy curtains, he didn't know who came in.

The wind blew along the palace door and the curtains fluttered gently. Emperor Yun Qing suddenly felt fear and couldn't help but retreat behind the bed holding the quilt.

"Who is outside?"

Pah, pah, pah.

The footsteps were very dull. The soft-soled shoes worn by the palace maids and eunuchs when serving at night could not make such a sound.

Who is the person outside?

Emperor Yun Qing opened his eyes wide and watched as the last layer of curtain was lifted, and the sharp blade in the opponent's hand gave off a faint cold light.
