The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(94)

When asked why, she didn't say anything, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

Xiaobao felt even worse.

Could he say she was wrong? No, she was doing it for his own good and for his mother's good, and she also helped keep the secret. His existence was indeed a thorn in his father's heart, especially after that incident, if he knew what was good for him, he should have stayed indoors.

Xiaobao could only feel bad, and even wondered if he was being overly suspicious.

Axia asked Chun'er to tear up the steamed buns she brought and scatter them, and soon the fish all swam over.

Xiaobao could also see that Axia wanted to make him happy. Even though he was obviously not interested, he still pretended to point his chubby finger at the pond and babbled.

Seeing Xiaobao happy, Axia was also full of smiles, talking to him babblingly, while tearing up the steamed buns and throwing them to the fish.

"Young Master, if you don't want to eat it, throw it to the fish."

Axia pointed at the steamed bun in his hand and then at the pond. Xiaobao blinked in confusion at first, then threw it out with a force. A group of fish rushed to grab it and laughed happily.

The two had a lot of fun.

During the period, Chun'er went back and said that she had something to do. Anyway, Axia couldn't keep an eye on Xiaobao alone.

After Chun'er left, Axia's smile suddenly disappeared, and she stopped playing with Xiaobao and became worried again. She was thinking about a question that she couldn't figure out. Why didn't His Highness care? Didn't he think his wife was dirty?

Thinking of the word dirty, Axia shook her head subconsciously, thinking that she shouldn't think so, but she couldn't help thinking about it in her heart.

"Axia, I finally found you. People in Rongxi Courtyard said you came out with the baby, so I guessed you were here." The person who spoke was Dong'er, who entered the mansion with Axia. When they were little maids, they were together and talked about their hometowns. When they heard that they were from the same hometown, they felt a different kind of affection than others.

Dong'er used to like to play with Axia, but Axia didn't often look for her because she was busy and couldn't leave.

Axia asked: "Don't you have to work today?"

Dong'er was not as lucky as Axia. Axia was also a fire-burning maid at the beginning, and later she was selected to the small cross courtyard. But Dong'er has been in the big kitchen all the time, and has not changed her place. She eats well, but she is usually tired because there are too many people working.

"Today is my day off, so I came to play with you when I have nothing to do. Also, I want to embroider a purse, but I don't have any patterns. I remember you have a lot of nice ones, so I want to borrow one from you."

"Urgent?"

Dong'er nodded, "I want to give it to Mother Wang after I finish embroidering it, and see if she can help me find a job. You see, I have been a fire-making maid in the big kitchen for so long, my hands are rough, and I have gained a lot of weight..."

Axia looked at Dong'er, who was more than two times fatter than when she first entered the mansion, and was silent in her heart.

She looked at Xiaobao who was leaning on the railing to watch the fish, and hesitated, "I still have to watch the young master, otherwise I will send him to you in the afternoon."

Dong'er urged her again and again: "I will help you watch it. It's said to be a young master, but in fact..." She glanced at Xiaobao with a look of disdain on her face.

This is the reason why Axia didn't want to go to Dong'er to play, she always felt that Dong'er had changed a lot since she first met him.

In fact, not only Dong'er has changed, but she has also changed.

Chapter 75

"Axia, go quickly."

Dong'er's voice brought Axia back to her senses. She looked at Dong'er, probably because she was too familiar with him, so she knew every expression of Dong'er, even her eyes. Even though she has changed a lot now, some small movements have not changed.

For example, whenever Dong'er lies, her left eyebrow will always shake involuntarily. It is very subtle, and only very careful people can see it, and the frequency of her shaking is in contrast to the tension in her heart.

Although Axia is not very old, she is an old man in the palace. Everyone says that she has a good talent, which makes Xue Pozi take a fancy to her. Little do they know that during the years when she was burning fire in the kitchen, she always carefully figured out how others cooked.

In fact, she is very good at cooking. Although she can't reach the level of being the main cook, she has no problem being the deputy cook. It's just that she understands the truth that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Let Axia come to see Yao Niang and end up being attacked from all sides because she is too popular.

She glanced at Xiaobao again. It was hard to tell that the white and tender little baby was the child of that vulgar-looking man. He probably took after his mother.

If——

Would she still be able to accept the favor of His Highness so calmly? A woman whose body had been defiled should have stayed in the house and never come out. Just like...

Axia said angrily, "You are really impatient. Then you help me take care of the young master. I'll be back soon."

She asked Dong'er to stand behind Xiaobao and help him watch the fish, and then turned and left.

Xiaobao was worried, and he didn't look back until Axia left. He happened to see Dong'er's strange smile.

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Looking at Axia's back, he screamed twice. Dong'er said hurriedly, "Oh, young master, be obedient. Let's watch the fish."

While she was talking, she took out a handkerchief from her arms. Thinking that the man taught her how to use it, she pressed it on Xiaobao's mouth and nose. Xiaobao's eyes went dark and he passed out.

She picked him up and pretended to coax him to sleep, walking and jumping, leaving the small garden at a fast pace.

After a while, someone came over and talked from a distance.

"I'll ask Dong'er to help me for a while, and then I'll go back and get her an embroidery sample..." Axia said to Chun'er as they walked. But when they arrived, they didn't see anyone.

"Hey, where is this person? He was clearly here just now."

"Did Dong'er take the young master back and we got lost?"

"That's possible, let's go back and take a look."

But when they returned to Rongxiyuan, they didn't see Dong'er and Xiaobao, so they had to turn back again. This time they walked separately to avoid missing each other again.

After a while, they met and still didn't find anyone. Axia couldn't help but said anxiously: "Let's go back to the yard first. If he still hasn't come back, go to the big kitchen or Dong'er's residence."

Chun'er nodded, and the two hurried back.

Because they didn't realize that Xiaobao might be missing, they just thought that Dong'er took him away to play, so at first only two people were looking for him. But they had searched the kitchen and Dong'er's residence, not to mention Xiaobao, even Dong'er was not found. The two realized that something was wrong and hurried back to report.

Yuchan sent everyone in the yard out to look for people, and then went to Chaohui Hall to report.

Yaoniang went to Chaohui Hall and has not come back yet.

When Yuchan arrived at Chaohui Hall, Yaoniang was still in the room and Fucheng was guarding outside the door. She told her about it, and Fucheng told her not to worry and ordered people to go down to look for her.

With Fu's order, Yuchan felt much more relieved. As long as the person was still in the palace, it would be impossible not to find him.

But when the people who went out came back to report, they really didn't find him. They searched almost everywhere, but didn't find anyone.

"Except for the courtyards of a few mistresses."

Fucheng glanced at the closed door and said without hesitation: "Go and find it, and say that it was ordered by His Highness."

"Yes."

In the bedroom, Yaoniang didn't know what was happening. She felt that Prince Jin was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

After discussing with Doctor Liu Liang, now a suitable degree is set every day to help King Jin relieve himself. But King Jin is in a coma, and he will only wake up when he is very excited, but he has no consciousness, only instinct. And Yao Niang is alone, it is impossible for her to handle such a high-intensity task by herself.

There is no way, she can only think of another way. Fortunately, she is not inexperienced, and she will only do it herself at the end.

Even so, she is very tired.

There is a bathroom in the room. Yao Niang came out after washing. She couldn't help rubbing her waist while walking, until she saw Fucheng and Yuchan outside, she withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly.

The faces of the two people were a little strange, and Yao Niang was a little confused. Just as she was thinking, she heard Yuchan say, "Madam, the young master is missing."

Yao Niang's mind exploded with a bang, "How could he be missing? What happened? Where is Axia? There are so many people, why did Xiaobao disappear?"

"Axia took the young master to watch the fish, Dong'er asked her to borrow flowers, and Axia went back to get them. When she came back, not only Dong'er, but also the young master was gone. Our people went out to look for him, and Fu Zongguan also ordered people to look for him everywhere. Don't worry, the young master must be fine. Maybe Dong'er took him to play in another girl's room." Yuchan tried to comfort her.

Yao Niang left in a hurry with Yuchan, and didn't even bother to say hello to Fucheng.

Fucheng turned and went into the inner room. Sure enough, King Jin was sitting in front of the bed, obviously he heard the noise outside.

His cheeks were thin, which made him look more emaciated and out of the world. He was less majestic, but more noble. Especially at this time, his long hair was half draped behind his shoulders, making him look more like a banished immortal.

Unfortunately, the blood-red eyes destroyed this fairy spirit, making him look a bit ghostly and devilish.

"I haven't found out what Liuchunguan wants to do by stealing that kid out yet?" He turned the sapphire ring on his right ring finger from time to time with his left hand, and his voice was cold.

Fucheng half-lowered his head and said with some self-blame: "That man is dead. Now only Concubine Hu and Taohong know the inside story. Taohong is Yongwang's man. Over the years, Yongwang has planted nails in the mansion, pulling out some and inciting others to rebel. If you hadn't been sick this time, I would have withdrawn some of the elite outside for fear of something going wrong. The mansion was loose outside and tight inside. I really didn't expect that there was someone hiding behind this girl. It was also discovered too late, and you told Concubine Hu not to... so..."
