Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng was taken aback by asking this question, and then realized that this is indeed a question:

If you follow it directly, who knows if there is anyone guarding it?On my side, only this court lady knows kung fu, and I don't know how kung fu is.

What's going on in the secret passage, I know very well, if someone is really waiting for a rabbit inside, then the big two and one small on my side will rush in, even if the maid is protecting me, I'm a weak chicken, and there's still a little girl on my back. The smaller weak chickens are simply ready to be caught, oh no, just waiting to die.

Looking at the water surface across the stone road outside the woods, Zhou Heng thought for a while, and felt that this matter should not be rushed. Anyway, the entrance has been found, and the most urgent thing is to contact Shen Fu first, so he asked the maid in a low voice:

"Then... you are very familiar with the layout of the palace, right? Now let you go back, can you find the way?"

Seeing that the other party nodded, he slowly sat down leaning against the big tree behind him, and at the same time motioned to the maid to help him untie the simple backpack so that the Fourth Prince could relax, while discussing with her in a low voice:

"Either way, I'll wait here first so that the fourth prince won't make a fuss, so you go back and find the prince. By the way, I didn't have time to ask you just now, is the prince still fighting the fire at Cuiwei Palace? Can the fire be brought under control?"

The court lady helped put the fourth prince who muttered "I'm not making trouble" into Zhou Heng's arms, and at the same time told her roughly what happened in a low voice:

"It's Nanny Jiang and his wet nurse. They played badly. I didn't expect the two to be together. I'll talk about the details later. It's a pity that Madam, in order to protect the fourth prince..."

"Mother Concubine." The fourth prince in his arms opened his eyes and listened, and heard a soft shout here.

"Good boy." Although the maid's words were brief, the meaning couldn't be more clear. Presumably, that Concubine Liang Guifei was already in danger. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng also felt sorry for the little guy in his arms, so he couldn't help hugging him tighter, comforting him softly:

"Either you sleep first, okay? It's okay, I will hold you all the time, let's wait for my sister to call the prince to come and protect us."

The little guy responded with a vague understanding, and rubbed his eyes and said:

"Mother and concubine are coming too."

Zhou Heng couldn't answer him, so he had to tell the maid:

"Then be careful yourself."

Seeing that the other party memorized the surrounding directions and turned away, Zhou Heng simply hugged the Fourth Prince and lay on the grass with some fatigue, and then covered him with the robe, patting his small body while coaxing him :

"Hey, you go to bed first, don't be afraid, I will watch over you."

In the dead of night, no one else will come to this place, right?

Thinking about it this way, at first he was still trying his best to control his sleepiness, but after tossing this night, coupled with the fatigue in his heart, soon, accompanied by the regular breathing of the child in his arms, Zhou Heng felt that his eyelids were getting tighter and tighter. The heavier it gets, the more I don't even know when I fell asleep.

Fortunately, after all, I remembered something in my heart, and was woken up by the kick of the fourth prince in the middle, and quickly raised my head to look around. Fortunately, it was quiet everywhere, without any movement.

It is also strange, there is not even a single bird in such a good forest, this palace is really weird.

Besides, the moon has gone to nowhere at this moment, and it is dark all around, and I don't know if the three princesses have asked someone to calculate the weather tonight in advance.

Zhou Heng didn't let himself go back to sleep, thinking that he didn't know what time it was, so he sat up and leaned against the tree trunk with the fourth prince who was asleep, and started to think about things while continuing to pay attention to the movement around him.

First, I thought about the matter of the Cuiwei Palace that the court lady said just now. According to her, the Jiang Nanny sent by Empress Jiang really attacked the fourth prince, and I don't know if it was arranged in advance or inspired by Fengyu Palace. The method of arson was also adopted. I think this method was easier to destroy corpses and wipe out traces in ancient times.

As for the chubby wet nurse who was also Queen Jiang's, Zhou Heng didn't find it strange. Didn't he say that Concubine Liang's mother and son were not valued very much in the palace?It is logical for the queen to be the master and choose a wet nurse for the fourth prince, and she can gain a good reputation for being considerate of the sisters in the palace.

However, the person who takes care of her son most closely is appointed by someone else. This must be different for the person involved. Presumably, it is precisely because of this that Concubine Liang has always had a sense of insecurity. The affair between the queen and the commander of the imperial guards made her even more vigilant, which also made her prepare for what happened tonight in advance.

But it is also strange, it is said that there are Huben Guards and Imperial Guards guarding outside Cuiwei Palace. Although the Imperial Guards are under Qin Zhihai's order, at least they are ordered to protect the fourth prince, the Crown Prince, and there is Commander Xu With Shen Fu, how could the court lady escape with the Fourth Prince in a hurry?

Could it be that Nanny Jiang and the wet nurse are so skilled that one person can defeat ten people?I don't know how Liang Guifei desperately sent her son out of the burning Cuiwei Palace.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help being a little worried about Shen Fu, hoping that he wouldn't get hurt because of it, although what the maid said just now meant that nothing happened.

"Beautiful sheep..." The fourth prince who was sleeping soundly in his arms suddenly muttered, it seemed that the story with Big Big Wolf was still going on in the dream, it really was a child's heart.

At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and there was a movement in the woods. Zhou Heng was so frightened that he patted the little guy quickly to prevent him from being awakened:

"It's okay, it's okay, go on sleeping."

And wrapped the outer robe tighter for him, only showing a small face outside.

Speaking of it, it was luck. I wore the sweater in advance, not to mention it didn't come in handy. At first I felt too hot, but now it's good, and I don't feel cold when the night wind blows.

And after that gust of wind, for some reason, the wind blew up one after another. The wind was not too strong, but with the darkness without the moon, it still made people think of "the moon is dark and the wind is high" inexplicably. word.

What a troubled time, Zhou Heng sighed and said silently:

"Ah Fu, come quickly!"

He lowered his head and patted the fourth prince in his arms, feeling a mess in his heart. Thinking of what Concubine Liang had entrusted to him before, and now knowing that she is probably dead, Zhou Heng vaguely felt that this person leaning in his arms was doing something. The little guy who is dreaming and sleeping soundly, maybe he really wants to raise it by himself in the future.

It is not impossible to raise a child, anyway, Shen Fu is also a prince, there will always be someone who will help, but these four princes have special identities, and now they are in a worrying situation, their mother and concubine are gone, and they don't know what to do next.

Alas, at first I was worried about whether I would get pregnant, and later I was worried about whether I would be able to conceive, but now it's good that I have to raise a child for someone else for no reason!

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but sighed silently again.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!" Just as a gust of wind blew past the treetops in the forest, at the same time there seemed to be some movement outside the forest again. Zhou Heng was so frightened that he immediately stood up for battle, tensed his back, and stared out with his eyes wide open...
