Chapter 149 Rumor has it that Prince Xiao is dying
She thought taking a nap was just talk, but she didn't expect this man to actually do it for her!
Lin Acai was still sulking, but the father and daughter actually fell asleep in broad daylight.
Seeing this, Bai Jing and Yu Jie quietly left the room, leaving Lin Acai alone sitting on the dressing stool not far from the bed, resting her chin on her hand, in a daze.
The man on the bed was holding a baby in his arms, and both of them had irrepressible smiles on their faces.
It's easy to get distracted if you just keep watching quietly like this.
After about an hour, Lin Acai saw that the man showed no signs of waking up, so she couldn't help but walk forward to check.
Why are you sweating so much?
not...
Thinking of this, Lin Acai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She raised her hand and touched the man's forehead.
Oh no, what you fear is bound to come true. This person looked in good physical condition, but I didn’t expect he still had a fever.
Without caring about anything else, Lin Acai directly took the man to the operating room in the space and gave him an antipyretic injection.
Xiao Jue was in a daze throughout the whole process. He could feel that there was a familiar person taking care of him, but he was so blurred-conscious that he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.
After the people were taken out of the space, Lin Acai still couldn't calm down for some reason. She ran to the well in the yard and fetched a basin of clean water. She found a brand new towel, put it in the basin, wrung it out a little, and put it on the forehead of the man on the bed.
"I don't care about you because I think you are sick. Do you think you are stupid? It was raining heavily last night, but you insisted on going to Yangxin Lake to mess around. Now you have made yourself sick. You are really a love-brained person. A grown man actually believes this..."
While keeping an eye on Xiao Jue's condition, she couldn't help but complain in front of him. Before she knew it, she fell asleep at the head of the bed.
The room fell into silence again.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the window not far away, and a breeze in the early morning blew on the family of three.
As expected of Kyoto City, news spread incredibly fast.
Before Xiao Jue could rush back from the Yangxin Lake in Xihua Temple, the news that the son of General Jingyuan Marquis had fallen into the water had already spread to everyone.
There were also some people who were curious about the situation and heard some fake news from somewhere, saying that Prince Xiao fell into the lake and would not live long.
How can this be???
Concubine Xiao ran to the Emperor and cried bitterly, insisting that the Emperor allow her to leave the palace for a while. She had no news from her younger brother and suspected that something had really happened to him.
Taking into account the glorious military exploits of Marquis Jingyuan and the Crown Prince during their march south, as well as the baby she was carrying in her belly, the Emperor had almost no hesitation and agreed for the first time in history.
"My beloved concubine, I allow you to leave the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"
With the emperor's approval, Concubine Xiao rushed back to her parents' home without stopping.
As a result, when she arrived at her mother's house, she found that her younger brother was not in the marquis's mansion at all. Marquis Jingyuan always worshipped Buddha in the Buddhist temple in the backyard on weekdays, and the servants would never tell her that the prince went to Xihua Temple.
"My daughter... tell me quickly that you suddenly left the palace to look for your brother. What happened to your brother?" Qin's heart was hanging in the air, and she looked at her daughter with uneasy eyes.
She only has a pair of children, and if anything happens to either of them, it would undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue for her.
"Mother...you really don't know that Changxiu went to the Yangxin Lake in Xihua Temple?"
"I don't know...Daughter, please tell me in detail."
After a moment, Concubine Xiao told Qin the rumors she had heard about her brother without hiding anything. Even though she had played it down and did not mention her brother falling into the lake, Qin still vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
If she was only going to Yangxin Lake to watch over the prayer lanterns, it would be impossible for my daughter to leave the palace in person.
Something big must have happened to Changxiu. Could something have happened to him?
When Qin thought about how deep Yangxin Lake was, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Suddenly, everything went dark in front of my eyes and I was about to faint!
"Mother!" Concubine Xiao's face suddenly turned pale and she rushed over.
The maids and old women in the Marquis's Mansion, as well as Eunuch Xu who had followed Concubine Xiao out of the palace, all came forward with concern and were all terribly frightened.
At this moment, Bai Jing poked his head out and appeared outside the door of the hall.
Originally, he wanted to get two sets of clothes for the prince and leave, but he didn't expect to see the carriage from the palace parked at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. He came over to take a look, thinking that it was Concubine Xiao from the palace who had ordered Eunuch Xu to deliver good things to the Marquis' Mansion again. He didn't expect that it was actually the Concubine who had left the palace.
Moreover, it seems that the lady has had some problems.
"Hey! Guard Bai, come in quickly!" Eunuch Xu flicked his whisk. With his sharp eyes, he only glanced at the door and saw him hurriedly walk over and pull the man over.
Concubine Xiao's eyes lit up, and she spoke anxiously, "Bai Jing! How is your young master now? Where did you hide him?"
"..."
Bai Jing had a face full of question marks.
Concubine Xiao's eyes seemed to want to kill someone. Why was she staring at me like that? Could it be that she already knew that the prince was guarding the lights on Yangxin Lake? ? ?
He said that it was his dereliction of duty as a guard to allow the prince to do such a dangerous thing, and that everyone in the Marquis's Mansion, including the person in the palace, would definitely hold him accountable.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing knelt down in front of the wife of Marquis Jingyuan and Concubine Xiao, "It's all Bai Jing's fault! I didn't persuade the prince to take the risk of going down to Yangxin Lake to guard the lanterns. Bai Jing is ashamed and willing to accept the punishment."
"Could it be...that Changxiu really met with an accident?" Qin fainted again, and everyone was in a panic for a moment.
"Mom! Don't scare your daughter!" Concubine Xiao hugged her mother's shoulders and cried bitterly.
It’s a mess, it’s a mess!
Eunuch Xu glared at Bai Jing, and Bai Jing finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.
He quickly explained: "Madam... Imperial Concubine, the prince has been treated by Miss Lin and is now fine. Miss Lin is looking after him. I just came back to get some clothes for him..."
Qin didn't hear it clearly, she just heard that he was fine.
When Concubine Xiao heard that Miss Lin was guarding her, she was obviously a little surprised. She immediately helped Qin, who had just recovered a little, to a ventilated place and asked hurriedly, "Bai Jing, are you saying that your son is next door?"
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, the Prince is not next door, he is at..."
"..."
Bai Jing gave a detailed explanation, and everyone was stunned!
I didn’t expect that Changxiu would do so many unexpected things for Miss Lin?
