Chapter 199 Believe It
It was this action, which could not be described as gentle at all, that made Xiao Xixi feel a little strange.
She raised her head, and from her angle she could only see the prince's chin and thin lips.
She asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Luo Qinghan: "I'll help you relieve your belching so you won't hiccup anymore."
"oh."
After a while, Xiao Xixi said in surprise: "I really don't hiccup anymore!"
Luo Qinghan stopped moving, but did not withdraw his hand. He still maintained the posture of hugging her and said lightly: "Then let's sleep."
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes obediently.
After a moment, she quietly opened her eyes again and looked up at the prince.
The prince's clear and cold voice came from above her head.
"Why are you looking at me instead of sleeping?"
Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "How did your Highness know that this could cure hiccups?"
"When I was very young, I also had hiccups like you, and I couldn't stop. Mother held me in her arms and patted my back gently, and then I stopped hiccuping."
This was the first time the prince mentioned his biological mother.
Xiao Xixi asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you miss your mother?"
"I had a serious illness when I was a child. After I recovered, I forgot a lot of things. I don't remember what my mother looked like. All I can remember are some fragments, like her humming a folk song from her hometown, or like she was patting my back gently."
Xiao Xixi lay in his arms and whispered, "Your mother must be a very gentle person."
"Maybe."
He had imagined before that if his mother had not died, he might not be without anyone to rely on in the palace.
Later he gradually stopped thinking so.
The past is past. Looking back will only make you sink deeper into the quagmire and suffer more and more.
He didn't want to look back.
He just wanted to move forward now.
…
The eunuchs of the Eastern Palace all lived in the Hanbing Palace.
Chang Xi was no exception. As the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, it was natural for him to live in the largest room.
Baoqin walked into the room carrying a lunch box and called out crisply.
"Eunuch Chang."
Chang Xi was injured on his back and could only lie on the bed with a thin blanket covering him.
He asked in surprise.
"Miss Baoqin, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Baoqin put the food box on the table and said with a smile, "Xiao Liang Di learned that you were injured, so she asked me to come and see you. I made some chicken soup, and it's still hot. Please try it."
She opened the ceramic jar, scooped out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Eunuch Chang.
When Chang Xi smelled the aroma of chicken soup, he felt mixed emotions.
In this palace, the most miserable people are the eunuchs.
They are incomplete, like rootless duckweed, with no future to speak of.
They can only stay in the palace for their entire lives. Those who are lucky may have a good ending, but most of them disappear quietly somewhere in the deep palace.
In comparison, the situation of the palace maids was slightly better.
At least the palace maids had other ways out, such as getting the grace of their masters and being released from the palace when they reached a certain age.
Or maybe you are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor and become a phoenix overnight.
Although Chang Xi is the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace and seems to have a glorious life, he is just a servant after all. Once he loses the trust of his master, he will be nothing.
He was just lying in the house recuperating from his injuries these days, but people outside were gossiping about him.
Some people said that Eunuch Chang did not serve the prince wholeheartedly and was punished by the Queen, which made the prince dislike him.
The prince sent him back, and the obvious meaning was that he was not going to use him anymore. His position as the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace would soon be taken away by someone else.
These words sounded so convincing that many people believed them to be true.
