Chapter 127 Bad Luck
Before Xie Guimo was three years old, he was too young and the princess seldom brought him into the palace. After he was three years old, because he almost lost his life in the palace, the prince did not allow the princess to bring him into the palace. Xie Guimo entered the palace only a few times and never left the prince's sight, and never had any problems.
But even if he was running around, there should have been someone following him. How could he have fallen into the dry well?
Xie Guimo asked, "Wasn't my mother by my side at that time?"
The princess didn't know what to say, because it seemed like she was shirking responsibility for not taking good care of her son. The princess didn't say anything. Nanny Yun said, "At that time, the prince was only three years old. The princess was feeding him tea, and he knocked it over, splashing it all over the princess. The princess went to the side hall to change her clothes.
When he returned, the prince had disappeared, and the wet nurse who was responsible for taking care of him was also missing. Later, the prince was found, and the prince ordered all the wells in the palace to be searched. The wet nurse's body was found in the well of the cold palace.
No wonder my father no longer allowed my mother to bring him into the palace. He asked me to find the wet nurse's body, obviously because he suspected that someone was harming him, and that person was most likely Concubine Ye.
Concubine Ye may not have intentionally harmed him, but may have accidentally given him something to eat. The situation at the time may have been far more serious than a rash. Concubine Ye suspected that he was beyond saving, and was afraid that his father and mother would know and break up with her, so she created an accident in which he got lost and fell into a dry well, and killed the wet nurse who knew the truth.
But Concubine Ye didn't expect that he was so lucky that he didn't die after falling into the dry well and survived.
This may be why even his father and mother did not know what caused his rash, but Concubine Ye knew.
Xie Guimo really wanted to ask what food Concubine Ye used to entertain the princess that day, but when he thought about the fact that this happened sixteen years ago and the princess was not there when Concubine Ye fed him, it would be useless to ask, so he did not ask.
Xie Guimo didn't ask, but the princess still had something to ask him, "Did you really get the rash because you kissed a girl?"
Xie Guimo held his forehead and asked, "Mother, could you please stop asking? I really don't know how to explain it." "This matter is a bit complicated, and it can't be explained in a few words. I will explain it to you later."
The princess asked, "What's going on between you and Miss Shen Er?"
The news of him kissing a girl spread all over Kyoto. Miss Shen Er even called her mother, but his own son had not come to propose marriage yet. What's more, he didn't marry her until she was pregnant.
The princess said, "You can't take revenge on a girl for not marrying you by abandoning her."
Xie Guimo, "..."
What kind of person is this son in his mother's heart?
Xie Guimo said tiredly, "Can my son do such a thing?"
The princess didn't believe it either, but she couldn't help but think her son was being too abnormal. If he really liked the girl, he wouldn't have waited until now to marry her. "Then why haven't you come to propose marriage yet?"
Xie Guimo said with a headache, "She won't let me propose marriage, what can I do?"
"Nonsense! She calls me mother, how can I not agree?" The princess suspected that her son was stupid.
I'm used to calling you mother, and I called you the wrong name in a moment of haste, but it doesn't mean anything else.
However, Xie Guimo certainly couldn't tell the princess about Shen Tang's rebirth after his death, so he could only deceive her. "Isn't this all my grandfather's fault for proposing the wrong marriage for me? She had to wait until her eldest sister was promised to someone before allowing me to propose marriage."
The princess was surprised, "Wrong marriage?"
Xie Guimo said, "I was originally going to marry the Second Miss Shen, but who knew that my grandfather would arrange a marriage for me with the First Miss Shen."
No wonder Mo'er was unhappy when he returned to Beijing and learned that he was engaged to Miss Shen. No wonder Miss Shen did not allow Mo'er to propose marriage. Miss Shen Er and Miss Shen Da were twins. At the beginning, they refused to get on the sedan chair of Prince Jingyang's Mansion because of their sisterly love. It is really rare to find a girl who values friendship so much.
But Miss Shen and Mo'er are engaged, and Mo'er is not engaged. I'm afraid no one would dare to propose to Miss Shen. Miss Shen doesn't want to get married, and Miss Shen doesn't allow Mo'er to propose. Isn't this... stuck there?
The princess said with a headache, "Although mother really wants to hold her grandson soon, but until the Crown Prince's wife is married, you are not allowed to do anything out of line. Do you understand?"
Xie Guimo rubbed his brows, "Mother is overly concerned. She didn't even let me propose marriage, so what else could I possibly do?"
That's true. She is worried about her own son, and she can't be worried about Miss Shen Er either.
Xie Guimo, "..."
Is there any mother who would say this to her son?
Xie Guimo was fine, so the princess left with peace of mind.
Inside the house, Shen Tang leaned on the small couch, worried that Steward Li would bring a doctor to treat her sprained ankle. If the doctor saw her, her pretending to have a sprained ankle would be exposed. Just in case, Shen Tang rubbed her ankle until it turned red. Shen Tang's worry was not unnecessary. Steward Li was Shen Sui's confidant and was on her side. After taking the doctor to see Shen Ying and the second master, he brought the doctor to Qingyi Garden as expected.
When the doctor came in, Ginkgo was still sitting on a low stool massaging Shen Tang's feet. The doctor saw it and said, "Your foot is sprained. You can't rub it like this. Be careful not to hurt it even more."
Ginkgo rubbed her ankle a little too hard, worried that it wouldn't look red enough. Shen Tang said, "After applying the medicine, the ankle is fine now. The doctor's trip was in vain."
Manager Li was a little worried, "Second Miss, are you sure you're okay?"
Shen Tang got off the small couch, walked a few steps on the ground, and said, "I'm really fine. Manager Li has invited a doctor. If it still hurts, how can I refuse to let the doctor see it?"
Steward Li said, "Since the doctor is here, please check the pulse of the second young lady."
Shen Tang did not refuse. She sat down, stretched out her wrist, and let the doctor take her pulse.
After taking the second lady's pulse, the doctor said, "The second lady's pulse is steady, there is nothing wrong."
The doctor did not prescribe any medicine, so Manager Li sent the doctor out.
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea. Just as she took a sip, Si'er rushed in with a pair of shining eyes, gasping for breath, "Miss, something happened to the Second Madam!"
puff!
Shen Tang spat out a mouthful of tea and almost choked to death.
The two maids, Ginkgo and Qiutong, opened their eyes wide.
The girls had told Chen Shan not to do anything, so how did something happen to the second wife?
Ginkgo asked quickly, "What happened to the Second Madam?"
Si'er said, "The Second Madam had just returned to the South Courtyard from Songhe Hall. As she passed through the garden, a bird flew overhead and pooped on her head..."
Shen Tang, "..."
ginkgo,"……"
Qiu Tong, "..."
And on the tree outside the window, Chen Shan, "..."
Bird shit.
It has nothing to do with him.
The corners of Shen Tang's mouth twitched.
She had lived two lives, and for the first time she truly felt what it meant to be so unlucky that even drinking water would get stuck in one's teeth.
The second wife's evil deeds are so notorious that even passing birds can't stand it?
With so much bad luck on her hands, it would be strange if the second wife wasn't frightened like a frightened bird.
