Chapter 199
It was this kind of action that could not be called gentle at all that made Xiao Xixi feel a little strange in her heart.
She raised her head, and from this angle she could only see the prince's chin and thin lips.
She asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Luo Qinghan: "Help you smooth your breath, so that you won't burp again."
"Oh."
After a while, Xiao Xixi said in surprise, "My concubine really stopped hiccupping!"
Luo Qinghan stopped, but did not withdraw his hand. He still kept his arms around her, and said lightly, "Then go to sleep."
Xiao Xixi obediently closed her eyes.
After a while, she quietly opened her eyes again and looked up at the prince.
The prince's clear and cold voice came from above her head.
"You don't sleep, what is Gu Gu doing?"
Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "How does Your Highness know that this can cure hiccups?"
"When I was very young, I used to hiccup like you, and I couldn't stop once I hit him. The mother and concubine took me in her arms and patted me on the back, and then I stopped hiccupping. "
This is the first time the prince mentioned the matter of his biological mother.
Xiao Xixi asked tentatively, "Does Your Highness miss your mother-in-law very much?"
"Gu had a serious illness when he was a child, and after recovering from the illness, he forgot a lot of things. Gu can't remember what his mother and concubine looked like. What Gu can remember, there are only some fragmentary fragments, such as when she was humming her hometown tune, It was like she was patting Lone's back lightly."
Xiao Xixi lay in his arms and whispered, "Your mother-in-law must be a very gentle person."
"Maybe."
He had imagined before that if his mother and concubine hadn't died, maybe he wouldn't have anyone in the palace to rely on.
Then he gradually stopped thinking about it.
The past is over, and looking back blindly will only make yourself mired in the quagmire and become more and more painful.
He didn't want to look back.
He just wanted to move forward now.
...
The eunuchs of the East Palace all lived in the Hanbing Hall.
Chang Xi was no exception. As the great eunuch of the East Palace, he should have lived in the largest room.
Baoqin walked into the house with the food box and called out clearly.
"Eunuch Chang."
Chang Xi was hurt on his back, so he could only lie on the bed, covered with a thin quilt.
he asked in surprise.
"Miss Baoqin, why are you free to come to me?"
Baoqin put the food box on the table and said with a smile, "Xiao Liangdi learned that you were injured, so I specially asked me to see you. I made the chicken soup, and it's still hot, you can try it."
She opened the pottery urn, scooped out a bowl of chicken soup, and handed it to Eunuch Chang.
Smelling the aroma of chicken soup, Chang Xi felt mixed feelings in her heart.
In this palace, the worst is their eunuchs.
They are broken bodies, like duckweeds without roots, with no future to speak of.
They can only stay in the palace for the rest of their lives. If they are lucky, they may end up in a happy ending, but more often, they quietly disappear somewhere in the deep palace.
In contrast, the situation of the maids is slightly better.
The maids at least have other ways out, such as getting the grace of the masters, and they can be released from the palace when they reach a certain age.
Or, if you are lucky enough to be spotted by the emperor, he will fly to the branches and become a phoenix.
Although Chang Xi is the great eunuch of the East Palace, he looks beautiful, but in the end he is just a slave. Once he loses the trust of his master, he is nothing.
These few days he was just lying in the house to recover from his injuries, and there were people gossiping about him outside.
Some people say that Eunuch Chang did not serve the prince wholeheartedly, and was punished by the queen, causing the prince to dislike him.
The prince drove him back, with obvious meaning, that he did not intend to use him any more, and his position as the Great Eunuch of the East Palace would soon be taken away by others.
These words have noses and eyes, and many people believe them to be true.
