C190 Baby's Tricks
"Princess, the carriage is ready." Changxu held his sword and asked for instructions at the door.
"Mm, is the prince back?" Mu Ruqing tidied her clothes and followed Lingyue out the door.
"Not yet." Changxu followed behind the two, "His Royal Highness asked me to protect the Princess."
"Alright." Mu Ruqing nodded and Lingyue looked at Changxu with an unknown meaning. Changxu proudly looked at her and made Lingyue laugh. He whispered, "Idiot."
Mu Ruqing's destination was Faang mansion. Late last night, Xiuxiu sent a letter saying that something strange had happened in Faang mansion and Faang Zijun was not in the mansion. She wanted Mu Ruqing to accompany her.
Mu Ruqing was worried for the whole night. She woke up before dawn. If it wasn't for Yu Longchen stopping her, she would have been in Faang mansion by now.
No matter how fast the carriage moved, Mu Ruqing felt that it was slow. When they reached Faang mansion, she did not wait for Lingyue to help her and got off the carriage.
"Qing..." Xiuxiu stood at the door and waited for Mu Ruqing. She thought of something and bowed again, "Civilian greets the Princess."
"What are you doing?" Mu Ruqing quickly helped her up. She could feel the friendship in her eyes.
"But I have brought you here. Milk mom, let Wang Fei take a look at the Little Young Master." Xiuxiu had shed her childishness and now she was like an upper-class lady. Her words and actions were mature and experienced.
The wet nurse carried the baby in front of Mu Ruqing. The baby's face was fat and covered his nose. Her small eyes were a little bit bigger than her sister's. Mu Ruqing was happy but she did not want to carry the baby. Every time she saw a child, Mu Ruqing always had a knot in her heart. There was another reason why she did not want to hug. It was because this baby looked like he was on the verge of death.
"So cute. It has been three months, right?" Mu Ruqing grabbed his little hand and placed her other hand on her abdomen without leaving any trace. She seemed to be feeling sorry for him.
"Yes, let's go in and talk." Xiuxiu smiled happily and pulled Mu Ruqing in.
"When will Zijun come back?" Mu Ruqing looked around but did not see Uncle Xiong. She casually asked, "Where is Uncle Xiong?"
"Zijun will be back in about five days." After a pause, Xiuxiu said again, "Uncle Xiong has passed away." When she said this, a touch of sadness flashed across Xiuxiu's eyes. To them, Uncle Xiong was their grandfather.
There was a moment of silence, perhaps it was a moment of silence for him.
"You rushed over from the Imperial Residence, are you hungry?" The two of them walked to the main hall and Xiuxiu pulled Mu Ruqing to sit in a row as she personally poured tea for her and asked.
"I'm not hungry. Quickly tell me what it is. I was worried all night."
"Okay." Xiuxiu looked at the wet nurse and the wet nurse carried the young master down.
Lingyue also stood at the side. It was inconvenient for Changxu to be received by the newly arrived official family.
"Three days ago, the child slept beside me. When Zijun was not around, the child slept with me. When the third day arrived, I suddenly woke up from the beating.
I didn't think too much about it. I watched the child sleep soundly. Looking at his cute appearance, I hugged him and prepared to sleep. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over and extinguished the candles in the room. I was still a little curious. The doors and windows were clearly closed. Where did the wind come from? I called out to the wet nurse twice. No one agreed. Instead, it woke the child up. The child grunted a few times and I lightly patted him. Slowly, he fell asleep again.
Originally, I was a little afraid, but because the child is here... I didn't get up to light the candle. I only saw a faint light coming from the muslin paper in the dark. Suddenly, a figure was imprinted on it. I thought it was the wet nurse. After a few soft calls, guess what I heard? " Xiuxiu's expression was frightened and her eyes stared at Mu Ruqing. Lingyue, who was listening by the side, had goosebumps all over her body.
"Strange laughter?" Mu Ruqing did not know if it was excitement or something, but she felt some anticipation. Could it be that it was because she had not seen Shunyi for a long time? There were too many mysteries waiting for Shunyi to explain, but Shunyi never appeared.
Xiuxiu shook her head. She put her fingers together on the table and the corners of her mouth started to twitch. "The sound of cats barking is like that of children. It is very ear-piercing. The figure opened his mouth and two fangs appeared on the shadow. The eyes on the shadow became like snakes...
I am extremely afraid and dare not speak. I look at the shadow. There was always a feeling that she was staring at me. A chill ran down my body as I gently hugged the child. I closed my eyes. After a long time, I secretly opened them. The shadow was still there and it was getting bigger and bigger. It was like a person standing straight outside, from the side to the front.
I used a blanket to cover my head, but the child couldn't. He'll get bored, he's still so young... The cat was still barking, and the sound was so loud that it almost pierced my ear. But the child actually did not wake up and cries. One must know that at the beginning, I only softly call out twice and he woke up. I was afraid that something would happen to the child, so I wanted to touch his nose. He raised his hand and groped down from the top of his head, brushing his eyebrows. When I touched something wet, I pulled my hand back. "
"Is that the child's eye?" Mu Ruqing was just guessing. People's facial features, eyebrows, and wet things only had eyeballs. That meant that the child's eyes were open at that time?!
"Yes!" Xiuxiu was shocked and immediately stood up. She looked at Mu Ruqing as if she had grasped onto a life-saving straw. "At the beginning, I didn't know either. I just wanted to go and light the candle. But I was afraid and didn't dare to get off the bed. At this moment... The cat stopped barking and its shadow slowly blurred. After a few minutes, I called the nurse a few more times, but no one agreed.
I plucked up my courage, walked to the table in the dark, and lit a candle. When I turned around, I saw the child staring at me. It gave me a scare. He didn't cry or make a fuss and just stared at me. At that time, I realized that I had touched his eyes, which meant that from the beginning... He had been staring at me with his eyes wide open! That gaze of his was like looking at an inanimate object. And he was just a child, how could he have that kind of gaze? Tell me, how can there be? "
Xiuxiu got excited and grabbed Mu Ruqing's shoulders, not letting go. In her eyes, there was only fear and fear.
"Xiuxiu, don't be afraid. Maybe it is just your imagination?"
"Impossible! You know, children's eyes are all black. That feeling... I can't say it." Mu Ruqing helped Xiuxiu sit down and placed her finger on her cheek. She seemed to be telling herself to calm down, "I also thought that I was wrong. I called his name. He did not have any reaction. In the past, as long as I called his name. He would laugh. "
"But he was just a child"
"I don't think that's my child. He looked at me like that for fifteen minutes without even blinking his eyes. And that happened the night after! "
"Who was the one who carried Young Master to sleep?" Mu Ruqing asked, just like what Xiuxiu had said. It was impossible for her to carry Little Master to sleep the next night. Xiuxiu's courage had always been very small. " Oh right, did you call a doctor to come and take a look?"
"The wet nurse and the wet nurse saw it too. It's been spread that all the famous doctors in Imperial have been invited to come and take a look. They all said that it's not a big deal. "
" Was it still like this last night? "
Xiuxiu shook her head. "Last night, I hugged him and slept. It did not happen."
"Why don't you carry the child up and let me take a look." Mu Ruqing lightly patted her back to comfort her.
"Okay."
