539 Retribution! (1)
“Little Commandery Princess, your rouge.” The boss handed out the things in his hand respectfully. Not only was the rouge special, but even the box was unbelievably exquisite. Be it the rouge box or the makeup box, they were much better than the ones he had sold to Yu Wan just now.
The Little Commandery Princess was very satisfied.
The boss heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was finally satisfied. This little ancestor was really not easy to serve. This month, his hair had turned white from worry. He had finally finished his job. If possible, he would rather not do business with this little ancestor anymore.
“Be careful! Don’t touch the rouge with your dirty hands!” When the boss went to close the rouge box, he almost touched the makeup inside. The Little Commandery Princess caught it with her sharp eyes and scolded him.
!!
The boss hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll be careful. I won’t break the princess’s rouge.”
“Hmph!” The Little Commandery Princess took the dressing box, threw down the banknotes, and left without looking back.
The boss’s heart, which had been hanging in his throat for a month, finally settled down. He looked back at his shop and patted his chest. “It’s really not easy to survive.”
The Little Commandery Princess still did not know that she had tortured the boss to death. She took the new rouge and boarded the carriage back to the manor. The palace banquet was at night, and it was still early. She returned to the Queen Manor first and found her mother sitting in front of the dressing table in the Queen’s room. Her eyes lit up and she walked over with a smile. She lay on the Queen’s back and said, “Mother!”
The Queen saw her in the bronze mirror and smiled gently. “You’re already so old, yet you’re still clinging to your mother like a child. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Mhm~” The Little Commandery Princess wheedled.
The Queen laughed and touched her little face on her shoulder. “I haven’t seen you all afternoon. Where did you go to play?”
The daughter of an ordinary family did not have so much freedom. It was also because the Queen spoiled her and the Emperor indulged her that she developed a personality of a man who always ran out.
The Little Commandery Princess stood up and came to the Queen. She took out the makeup box hidden behind her back and pouted. “Mother has wronged me this time. I didn’t go out to play. I booked a gift for you. I was going to get it.”
The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, “Girl, you just want to go out and cause trouble.”
The Little Commandery Princess hugged the Queen’s arm. “No! If it wasn’t to buy rouge for Mother, I wouldn’t even take a step out of the door! I’m the most obedient!”
The Queen was amused by her.
The Little Commandery Princess acted coquettishly in the Queen’s arms for a while. It was not until the female envoy came to urge her that the Queen quickly returned to her room to dress up so that she would not miss the time to enter the palace.
The Little Commandery Princess went to change. The Queen hesitated for a moment before opening the dressing box that the Little Commandery Princess had given her and choosing a suitable rouge.
In a place she could not see, strange little Gu worms fell on her. Because they had trembled beside the Gu King for too long, the little Gu worms were still very weak for the time being and did not have the strength to bite. It was also because of this that the Queen did not notice anything amiss because of the pain.
The Queen still did not know that she had been poisoned. She stood up and went to the Prince Consort’s room. Since it was her birthday banquet, as the Prince Consort, it was necessary to attend.
However, after an afternoon, the Prince Consort had only changed half of his clothes. He stared blankly at the sky outside the window, thinking about something. The maidservant did not dare to disturb him. When she saw the Queen enter, she hurriedly bowed.
The Queen waved her hand to signal the maidservants to leave. She gently came to the Prince Consort’s side and said gently, “What are you looking at?”
“The sky,” said the Prince Consort.
Every time the Prince Consort’s memories were cleared, he would be in a daze for a few days, but not for so long. This made the Queen feel a little uneasy. She suppressed the abnormality in her heart and gently tidied the Prince Consort’s clothes. “It’s time. We have to enter the palace. Shall I help you change?”
“Zijun.” The Prince Consort looked at her with a complicated expression.
The Queen’s eyelashes trembled, and she smiled calmly. “What’s wrong?”
The Prince Consort pressed his hand to his chest. “It’s a little empty here.”
The Queen lowered her eyes and smiled. When she looked up at him again, her face was gentle. “Do you think something’s missing?”
“Yes.” The Prince Consort nodded.
The Queen pulled his hand and said in displeasure, “You’re missing Cong’er!”
“Cong’er?” the Prince Consort murmured.
The Queen shook her head and smiled. “That’s right. It’s been more than half a year since you last met. If it weren’t for the letter every month, I would have suspected that this kid had forgotten his biological parents. Cong’er is on his way. You’ll be able to see him soon.”
