Chapter 164 Coma
The Queen Mother knew nothing about Xiang Zheng's actions behind the scenes.
She was eager to rescue the Duke of Zhenguo.
It was really because the Duke of Zhenguo fell to the ground so suddenly that it was like a blow to the head, knocking out all the members of the Duke of Zhenguo's party.
As soon as Xiang Zheng left, the Queen Mother could not wait any longer and immediately sent someone to deliver a secret letter to the Northwest Army.
Because of the incident involving the Duke of Zhenguo, the morning court sessions in the past few days have been filled with turbulent attacks and slander. As a party involved in the incident, Rong Que has been subjected to various criticisms from the Duke of Zhenguo's party.
It seemed as if the Duke of Zhenguo would be released as long as he was criticized.
The emperor neither paid any attention to this kind of criticism nor tried to stop it. Rong Que knew in his heart that once the Duke of Zhenguo fell, the emperor was looking for a new balance point.
Compared with the stability of the political situation, the father-son affection is too insignificant.
He also understood clearly that as long as the new balance point was not found, the emperor would not punish the Duke of Zhenguo immediately no matter how heinous his crimes were.
However, Rong Que was calm. He was waiting for someone to take action.
The person who controlled Su Jinghe...
On this day, after the morning court session, Rong Que left the palace alone, trailing behind everyone as usual. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Minglu standing anxiously not far away. When he saw him come out, he ran towards him with a serious expression.
Rong Que rarely saw Ming Lu look so panicked, and his heart trembled, "What happened?"
Ming Lu looked around and said quickly , "I met General Su today."
Rong Que stood there in shock as if struck by lightning, pondering Ming Lu's words word by word, "Who did you see?"
"General Su, General Su Qingqing."
He understood every word Minglu said, but when they were put together, he was frozen.
General Su, General Su Qingqing, aren’t they in his house?
It felt like a big piece was missing from his heart, and Rong Que's breathing became so rapid that he was trembling.
Ming Lu knew what his master was thinking and licked his lips. "It's not the Crown Princess , it's someone else, exactly like General Su."
"Where?"
“Tongqian Alley.”
Half an hour later.
Rong Que appeared in Tongqian Hutong like a puppet.
There is a steamed bun shop at the entrance of the alley. The owner of the shop is busy taking a tray of freshly-made steamed buns off the steamer. He pushes the big buns down and pours them into a basket.
Next to the basket stood a little girl, with a thin waist and narrow shoulders, looking cute and a little shy. She lowered her head to sort out the buns and asked the person in the queue in front of her, "Uncle, how many buns do you want?"
"Five with green onions and pork, and three with three fresh vegetables."
After the old man finished speaking, he grinned and asked, "This girl looks unfamiliar, Mrs. Zhao, is she your daughter?"
The woman carrying the steamer put the steamer on top of the steamer and wiped her hands with her apron. "You are such a joke. Where can I find my daughter?"
This Mrs. Zhao is a widow. Her husband died only half a year after they got married. She fled to Kyoto to escape famine and has been serving an old lady in Yuqian Hutong ever since. The old lady has a son and a daughter, but her children don't care about her.
Later, after Mrs. Zhao had taken care of the old lady until her death, the old lady gave this yard to her.
Fortunately, although Mrs. Zhao's children were unfilial and did not take care of the old lady, they did not interfere in the matter of the old lady giving away the house.
Now that she had a place to live, Mrs. Zhao used the money she had saved to open a steamed bun shop, and neighbors often came to buy from her.
"I picked up this girl. In this cold winter, even a yawn can freeze into ice. The poor little girl almost froze to death at my doorstep a few days ago. If I hadn't gotten up early in the morning to buy meat, she would have frozen to death."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao said this, people queuing to buy buns started talking.
Some asked where the girl was from, some asked what her name was, and they talked about all sorts of random things.
The girl just tidied up the hair around her ears, pursed her lips, and raised her head slightly, "I don't remember."
Rong Que watched her combing her hair and looked at the half of her face that was raised, his eyes trembling.
Not to mention that the face is exactly the same, just the movements, the little movements made unconsciously, are exactly the same.
At this moment, his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly. Rong Que staggered and managed to keep his balance by holding onto the wall.
Minglu looked at his prince with heartache.
His Highness and the Crown Princess are finally in love, and now... this other person pops up.
Which one is the real one?
The girl selling buns over there seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned her head to look over here. She saw the person at the foot of the wall, her pupils shrank, and suddenly the buns in her hands rolled down. She held her head and groaned in pain.
This sudden change startled the people waiting to buy buns and caused them to scatter in disorder.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with you, girl?"
"Sister Zhao, has your girl been stimulated? I heard that people who have been stimulated are like this, they don't remember anything, but suddenly see people or things related to them, they will have a headache."
Every word of these words hit Rong Que's heart like a hammer.
There was still some jumbled conversation going on over there, but it seemed so distant and vague to him that he couldn't hear a single word.
He stood there for a while, half leaning against the wall with his hands covering his chest. He slowly closed his eyes, with a look of painful exhaustion on his pale face. "Let's go."
Minglu immediately helped the man.
After leaving Tongqian Hutong, Rong Que did not go back home directly, but rode his horse straight to a farm in Fengtai.
He rode his horse at a rapid speed all the way, and when the horse arrived at the gate of the manor, Rong Que almost rolled off the horse's back.
Minglu helped his prince, and seeing that the man couldn't even walk, he simply bent down and carried the man inside.
It was cold outside, but when he walked in, he was greeted by a warm floor heater. Rong Que didn't know whether he couldn't adapt to the sudden change in temperature or something else. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes went dark, and he fell.
Minglu was so scared that he hurried to call a doctor.
He did not dare to tell the Crown Princess in the mansion about what was happening here, for fear of causing trouble. He just went back in person to report that the Crown Prince had received a mission to Fengtai and would not be back today, so he was specifically asked to come and inform her.
When he went to report, the Crown Princess seemed to be drawing something. She didn't suspect anything and only asked him to bring more clothes for the Crown Prince.
After coming out of the Prince's Mansion, Ming Lu felt as if his heart was crawling with dense needles, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
What is this!
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are such a good couple, how could such a person come into being?
When Minglu returned to Fengtai Village, it was already dark. The doctor prescribed some medicine and Minghe waited for Rongque to drink it. However, Rongque gradually started to have a fever and began to talk nonsense.
The symptoms were exactly the same as the year General Su had the accident.
Minghe was very frightened. He, who was usually taciturn, beat Minglu and blamed him for telling His Highness. Minglu himself was also frightened and felt lost and annoyed.
