Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng felt that this Nanny Jiang who had the same surname and had been following the Queen closely was definitely the Queen's confidant, and must have known about Queen Jiang's pregnancy. That being the case, seeing her stretching out her hand like this, had already stamped "" in her heart in advance. Could this person be doing harm to the Fourth Prince?" Thoughts, he almost reached out to stop him.

Fortunately, she was following Shen Fu at this moment, and Shen Fu was keeping a little distance behind Concubine Liang. There were several meters between Zhou Heng and that Nanny Jiang. Seeing her stretching out her hand, she had no choice but to secretly hope that the court lady who had been by Concubine Liang's side would give some strength to take this matter over.

Fortunately, the court lady was also obedient, and when she saw Mammy Jiang stretching out her hand to speak, she immediately moved closer to her:

"How can I make you troubled, you should come here as a servant!"

There was a flattering tone in her tone, just like a clever little palace lady.

Concubine Liang still cared about holding her son, and rejected the two in a low voice:

"No need, He'er is sleeping right now, don't wake him up just by changing hands!"

wake up?Although Zhou Heng had never seen a few children sleeping, the four princes seemed to have a first-class sleep quality. They were still sleeping soundly despite the noise in the pavilion just now. How could they be woken up just now?

It seemed that Concubine Liang was still wary of that Nanny Jiang, so she simply found a reason to reject the two of them.

Seeing that Nanny Jiang stopped insisting and took a step back to continue following, Zhou Heng felt relieved and began to care about the situation in Taiye Pond.

It must have been an hour in the pavilion just now, right?It's a pity that the situation in the water outside doesn't seem to be making much progress. Seeing that there are still many people floating on the water, and the moon is also covered by clouds for some reason, looming, only illuminated by the lanterns by the water, It must be difficult to salvage.

After walking for a while, Zhou Heng understood why the salvage progress was so slow—

A large group of people are busy building a simple boat on the shore, to be precise, it is a wooden raft, and it seems that it is about to be completed now.

It seems that there are no living people who can swim.

Zhou Heng looked towards the surface of the water again. Although the strange lantern on the painting boat he saw before had been extinguished, he could still see the corpse in bright yellow clothes floating on the water surface when the moon came out. , it can be seen that no one was salvaged at all, and the painting boat was completely invisible. It must have overturned and sank to the bottom of the water. Unexpectedly, the water in Taiye Pool was quite deep.

Then it's no wonder that the emperor and others couldn't be rescued. If the water was shallower, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard might think of other ways.

Thinking this way, and the moon was hidden in the clouds again, for a while, the surface of the water became dark. Not to mention, thinking of the many corpses I saw just now, and the people on the shore at this moment have long since disappeared. Panicked and terrified, they all spoke in a low voice. Although Zhou Heng was still wearing a water jacket close to his body, Zhou Heng still felt a little cold for no reason, so he unconsciously took two quick steps towards Shen Fu. It was almost stuck to his back.

Shen Fuben has been paying attention to the people following behind him, how can he not know the fear in her heart at this moment, let alone a girl's family, the reason why no one goes into the water to salvage it at the moment is not necessarily because there are no people who know how to swim , It’s just that such a tragic disaster caught people off guard tonight. Seeing the corpses floating in the Taiye pool in darkness, even the soldiers of the Imperial Guard would be afraid.

Shen Fu tried his best to put on a calm tone, turned around and asked Zhou Heng:

"Do you still remember where you separated from the Duke and Mrs. Guo just now?"

Anyway, at this moment, it was a dark day, and Commander Xu and General Zhu were leading the way, and the soldiers of the Huben Guard who followed were only paying attention to the movement on the left and right, and no one should pay attention to their own side.

When Zhou Heng saw him turn his head back, his eyes lit up, his mouth grinned apologetically, and he said softly:

"I'm really sorry, Prince Jing, I ran over to look for you so hastily just now."

Shen Fu didn't expect her to say such words when she opened her mouth, so she couldn't help being taken aback, but quickly realized that his family's A Heng felt that he was hurt by his impulsiveness just now, and his drooping hands moved in his sleeves, I almost couldn't bear to hold her hand, so I restrained myself and replied softly:

"It's okay, I'm sure I'll be able to see my uncle and aunt soon, they are also worried about me."

Seeing what he said, Zhou Heng knew in his heart that her family, Ah Fu, would definitely not be angry with him anyway, so he smiled and winked at him and replied:

"Thank you, my lord!"

The movement of the two, because the surroundings are quite quiet now, Concubine Liang and the others in front of them naturally listened to the general idea. After walking for a while, Concubine Liang suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at the water and asked in a trembling voice. A sentence:

"My lord, Commander Xu, the emperor...but still..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually choked up.

When their team came over, they were already attracting attention. Because of Concubine Liang's question, although the situation was relatively clear, Commander Xu still sent people from Huben Guard to ask, and many officials came to ask questions. Seeing Concubine Liang holding the sleeping Fourth Prince in her arms, many people couldn't help but kneel down and salute, and some even cried aloud. For a while, coupled with the looming moonlight, Zhou Heng was also a little moved.

Concubine Liang's next behavior was somewhat unexpected. She first stood silently for a while, and then she was greatly stimulated by Huben Wei's reward, and she said tearfully:

"Father is still suffering, how can the fourth prince go back to the palace to sleep peacefully, please wait a moment, the prince and the two adults, I will bring the prince here to welcome the emperor..."

These words are reasonable, and Zhou Heng feels that compared to the Queen Jiang who is busy directing and dispatching the so-called aftermath, the Queen Mother who is said to be exhausted and let go to rest, and the other concubines who returned to the palace early to escape, this Concubine Liang can also be said to be affectionate Righteous.

Sure enough, when she said this, the people around all praised the fourth prince, praising him for his filial piety and etiquette. Zhou Heng hid behind Shen Fu and watched secretly. These ministers should recognize the fourth prince as the heir to the throne. I admire Concubine Liang, if she stays in the pavilion all the time, it will make people feel that she is more ruthless and more eager for quick success.

But in this way, the reputation of the fourth prince will be much better, and maybe Empress Jiang will have to be more cautious if she does something.

But Concubine Liang didn't know what to think. After saying these words, she actually gritted her teeth and started patting her son's face to wake him up:

"Wake up, He'er! Be good, don't sleep now, wake up!"

"Oh my lady, what are you...?" That mother Jiang also asked in surprise.

"Mommy, even though He'er is young, I always want him to kowtow to his father before going back..." Concubine Liang seemed to be getting more and more sad as she spoke, until finally she burst into tears.
