Chapter 21. Prince Nangong Yuan, careless about the Book of Life and Death
Among her many grandchildren, the one the Queen Mother loved the most and loved the most was Nangong Yuan, the son of Prince Su.
He was extremely intelligent since childhood. He could read at the age of three and started learning internal skills at the age of five. If it weren't for the poison in his body, he would have become the new generation of war god of Donglin like his father.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother gnashed her teeth in hatred towards that damn bitch Nian.
Then, she took the hand of Prince Nangong Yuan and looked at his still pale face, feeling uncomfortable.
Then, she glared at Prince Su with dissatisfaction and complained, "Look at what you've done. You made me think...that something had happened to Yuan'er again."
As soon as the words fell, they turned into a heavy sigh.
This child has suffered a lot.
"Mother, this is unfair!"
Prince Su cried out in grievance, but the next second the Empress Dowager gave him a murderous look and he became obedient.
He stood beside Princess Su with a look of grievance on his face. Whenever something related to her son, his mother would blame him, simply because it was his own bad love affair that caused it.
To put it bluntly, this is taking out your anger!
The Queen Mother ignored Prince Su and her eyes fell on Nangong Yuan. "Has my dear grandson taken his medicine on time recently? Is there anything wrong with your body..."
Nangong Yuan listened quietly to the Queen Mother's concern for him, his face looking a little cold against the moon-white clothes.
Only the warm touch of the Queen Mother's hand moved him a little.
"Grandma, I've followed the doctor's instructions. Don't worry, my grandson is doing well now."
As Princess Su listened to her son's words of comfort to the Queen Mother, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand even tighter, with a slightly worried look on her face. This morning, the imperial physician had quietly reminded them that Yuan'er's poison would probably take effect within three years.
Her hand at her side was tightly held by a large hand with thin calluses.
Princess Su looked up and saw Prince Su shaking his head imperceptibly. The old scar across his brow looked deep. He whispered, "As long as I'm here, I'll definitely not let anything happen to Yuan'er."
Princess Su's throat choked and she almost burst into tears.
However, he quickly recovered his composure. The Queen Mother was old and these things could not bother her anymore.
Princess Su had a good idea, but there was someone who just wanted to watch the fun.
Yunhua stroked her chin. After her mother explained it clearly, she turned around and started chatting about gossip with the Book of Life and Death.
"Xiao Shushu, I think this man shouldn't have three wives and four concubines. Too many women means more trouble. Add to that the maids who want to get promoted, and there's no peace in the harem. Just listen, wasn't Prince Su...Su's wife harmed so badly by a servant? And in the end, wasn't it the short-lived prince who suffered the consequences?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Yunhua.
The Yun family was scared to death.
Yun Ya wanted to cover her mouth, but she couldn't stop her wild imagination.
Yun Wei: ...What a mistake. I threw the brick too early.
Crown Prince Nangong Yuan is the Queen Mother's favorite, and no one can say that he will die young.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly at this time, but did not lose her temper. She understood that these people did not dare to talk about this matter in front of them, but everyone had said a few words in private.
But she couldn't control what this girl was thinking.
Everyone was sweating for her, but Yunhua remained calm.
[Xiao Shushu, does this prince really only have three years to live?]
Yunhua vaguely remembered that her mother seemed to have mentioned his lifespan. This prince was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. It was hard to imagine that he only had a few years left in his life.
"Let me take a look." After saying this, the Book of Life and Death went back into the book to search.
Yunhua was not in a hurry either. He picked up the tea and drank it leisurely.
but...
The Queen Mother and her entourage could no longer sit still, especially Princess Su. If Prince Su hadn't held her down, she would have immediately run to Yunhua to seek answers.
As for Nangong Yuan, the person involved, he curled up his fingers slightly in his sleeves, raised his head and looked at the free and easy-going little girl, feeling a little envious.
She was wearing a pink and white silk dress that wrapped around her still-grown figure. Her face was tender and round, and her feather-like eyelashes cast two shallow arcs on her porcelain-white cheeks. Her eyes were bright and lively.
When she smiles, she has two cute dimples, which gives people a sunny feeling.
In less than half a minute, the Book of Life and Death appeared, saying, "Xiao Huahua, the page that contains the prince's fate contains only a few short lines."
【How many lines?】
Surprise welled up in Yunhua's eyes. The record of the Book of Life and Death would be only a few pages long, even for a child. How could this prince, who lived to be in his teens, be written down in just a few lines?
The Book of Life and Death nodded and replied: [Nangong Yuan, the Crown Prince of Donglin, was born in the third year of the Xuanjing reign. He was extremely intelligent, but Heaven was jealous of his talent. He died of poisoning on the twenty-fifth day of the winter month of the twentieth year of the Xuanjing reign. At most, he died within two and a half years.]
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
"Ah...I don't believe it!"
The Empress Dowager tightly grasped Emperor Wenxuan's hand, as if trying to find a flaw in his calm expression. She was skeptical about the so-called "little scholar".
But Emperor Wenxuan knew that what was written in the Book of Life and Death was true.
At this time, he was also very troubled and kept comforting the Queen Mother.
Princess Su's eyes went dark and she could hardly stand. If Prince Su had not supported her in time, she would have fallen down. Tears were rolling down her face like beads from a broken string.
Prince Nangong Yuan had an indifferent expression. Although he had long since become indifferent to life and death, this ending was within his expectations.
Especially in the past year, his internal strength was almost unable to suppress the strange poison.
Yunhua's heart trembled when she heard what the Book of Life and Death said: [Eh... beauty is doomed to a tragic fate...]
The Book of Life and Death couldn't help but roll his eyes: [Xiao Huahua, why don't you read more books.]
Yunhua: ...[You are despising me! ]
Yunhua crossed his arms and looked as if he was going to be nice to her unless she apologized.
The group of people over there were secretly sad, while Yihua and Yishu over here were still having a conflict among themselves.
The Book of Life and Death is also speechless. Doesn’t it just tell the truth?
With a whirl of his eyes, he flew to Yunhua's eyes, with a flattering look on his face: [Xiao Huahua, don't be angry, I won't call you uneducated anymore. ]
Yunhua:......
[Oh... How about I give you a chance to get rich quick?]
Yunhua raised his eyebrows.
The Book of Life and Death holds her in a firm grip.
[Xiao Huahua, look at that short-lived prince. He's good-looking, isn't he? His background isn't bad, and he's actually a royal relative...]
Everyone: ...
Princess Su's tears stopped in mid-air.
The Queen Mother was no longer dizzy for the time being.
Emperor Wenxuan had a bad feeling.
Yunhua supported her chin, she seemed to have guessed Xiaohuahua's intention.
The Book of Life and Death thought this was a good plan and continued, "Xiao Huahua, he's rich, pretty, and short-lived. Why don't you take him in?"
[This way, your parents won't have to worry about you getting married anymore.]
Yunhua silently snapped his fingers and angrily said, "Xiao Shushu, I'm only twelve years old..."
Book of Life and Death:!!!
I was careless.
It has forgotten Xiaohuahua's actual age now.
