Chapter 361 Almost Exposed

This guard also took advantage of him. The other guards were beaten and scolded by the second prince, but they all dared to talk back, and they all knelt down to beg for mercy and admit their mistakes.

But the second prince did not believe this clumsy lie at all, "You are so presumptuous, you still dare to quibble, are you tired of living?"

The guard knelt on the ground, his mind spinning rapidly, "Second Prince, please calm down. Listen to the younger one's explanation. The younger one is really thinking about something."

Seeing the Royal Guards walking by outside, the guard had an idea, "Second Prince, you don't know something. More than an hour ago, the Imperial Concubine was reading a book at night and accidentally set the curtain on fire. If Xiao Xiao hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine would have died.

Gonna get burned."

"Second Prince, please tell me, this is so good. Why does the Imperial Concubine suddenly read at night? The young gatekeeper has never seen the Imperial Concubine have such a habit before. Second Highness, please tell me, is it too strange to start such a fire?"

The guard's eyes dodge. He recalled that before he locked the door, he saw the imperial concubine sitting by the bed. Therefore, the imperial concubine was safe and sound. If he told a little lie, nothing would happen.

Little did he know that his clever idea almost touched the truth.

As soon as these words came out, the second prince's anger was successfully diverted, "What did you say? There was a fire?"

At this time, the second prince finally understood why he wanted to go out at night. It turned out that this was an omen, so what on earth did the concubine want to do?

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you open the door quickly!"

With this angry shout, the people who were frightened were not only the guards guarding the door, but also Jin Yu who was dressed as a noble concubine in the room.

Jin Yu shivered hard. In fact, she was quite afraid of the second prince. Strangely enough, she had been with the empress since she was a child and had watched the second prince grow up, but she still couldn't help but harbor feelings for him.

fear.

But Jin Yu couldn't tell what she was afraid of specifically. She quickly put down the gauze curtain and lay on the bed, half of her face buried in the quilt, her hands nervously clutching the quilt, praying that the second prince would not notice anything strange.

"Second Prince, calm down and the small door will open soon."

The guard felt happy when he saw that the second prince did not pursue the matter of his dozing off, so he hurriedly took out the heavy key and opened the door.

As the sound of metal chains colliding sounded, Jin Jade's heart was beating like a drum. What should she do next? She thought nervously. Although she had served the imperial concubine for many years, she was not familiar with the imperial concubine's words and deeds. She really didn't dare to imitate the imperial concubine.

Make sure your imitation is realistic.

The door finally opened. The moment it opened, Jin Yu took a deep breath, turned over, and faced the door with her back.

"Concubine?"

The second prince shouted softly. The room was very dark. He was not sure whether the imperial concubine was in bed, so he kicked the guard beside him and said, "Light the lamp for me, prince."

The guard responded, took out the fire stick he brought with him and lit the candle. The second prince took the candlestick, and the first thing he saw was the messy scene in the front hall.

The guard whispered, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, this is where the fire broke out."

The second prince looked around and saw that the curtain from the front hall into the inner room was scorched black, the pink gauze curtain also had scorch marks, and there were still wet stains on the ground. The most severely burned area was a low bed.

Looking at the table, I can vaguely guess where the fire started.

He raised his hand and fanned his nose. The smell of burnt silk was not pleasant. The second prince took one look and stepped into the inner room.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Jin Yu swallowed nervously, but unexpectedly choked on the saliva and coughed unexpectedly.

"Ahem——"

The second prince stopped and wondered, what happened to his mother's voice?

He asked, "Is the mother-in-law asleep? Why is her voice so hoarse?"

Seeing that the second prince did not come forward, Jin Yu raised her voice and lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing here?"

The imperial concubine's voice was full of anger, as if she had contracted a serious illness. The second prince frowned. The concubine was fine when he came to see her last time. Why did she become ill in just a few days?

Could it be that the medicine was taking effect?

The second prince thought of this possibility and shook his head in denial the next second. The master told him that the medicine would take at least two months to take effect, but it had not been a month since he gave the medicine to his mother and concubine, how could it work so quickly?

?

He took a step forward and raised his hand to lift the gauze curtain in front of the bed, "My mother and concubine cannot die, but I have to keep your life so that you can watch how I sit in that position."

Through the hazy light outside the gauze curtain, Jin Yu saw the second prince's raised hand, and her heart was in her throat. She quickly turned over and covered her head with the quilt.

At this time, her mind was in a mess and she could not think of any countermeasures.

Just when the second prince was about to step into the gauze tent, a figure stopped him.

"It's already this hour, how can His Highness still have time to enter the palace?"

An old voice sounded from outside the door, and then a thin figure holding a lantern appeared in front of the second prince.

The second prince took a closer look, and then said in surprise, "Aunt Hu, why are you here?"

The person who came was Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu not only brought up Lin Rongyan, but also watched her become a noble concubine and give birth to the second prince. Later, she also raised the second prince until the emperor gave the second prince his own mansion. Aunt Hu

Then he returned to serve the imperial concubine.

The second prince still has some respect for the nanny who brought him up.

With a kind face, Aunt Hu saluted and said hello to the Second Prince, "Your Highness did not know that there was a fire in the bedroom tonight, which frightened the Queen and made her unable to fall asleep for a long time. I helped the Queen fall asleep, and now the Queen closed her eyes. Your Highness

You are here."

The second prince suddenly realized, but in the next moment he caught something wrong, "Mammy, I'm serving my mother-in-law? Isn't there gold and jade? Where did she go?"

Jin Yu, who was lying on the bed, trembled and her breathing stopped.

Aunt Hu explained with a chuckle, "Jinyu was cleaning the caisson a few days ago and accidentally fell off the ladder and broke his arm. He can no longer serve the empress, so I took over Jinyu's job. Don't you know, Your Highness?"

The second prince was dubious, and turned to ask the guard beside him, "When did Jin Yu get injured? Why didn't anyone come and tell me?"

The guard hesitated, he didn't know that Jin Yu had fallen and was injured.

At this time, Aunt Hu also looked at the guard, "Jin Yu was injured in a fall, and it was you who called the imperial doctor. Why don't you remember it?"

The guard was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the dim and changing eyes of the second prince. He seemed to be deep in hell, with green ghosts glaring at him on both sides.

By some strange coincidence, the guard nodded, "Yes, yes, Jin Yu injured his hand after falling. It's Grandma who is here to serve the imperial concubine."

Seeing the guard nodding, Grandma Hu's cloudy eyes flashed with happiness.

"Your Highness, your Majesty had a fever before going to bed. I don't know how she is doing now. Please let me come and see your Majesty."
