The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 198
But these have nothing to do with Li Baojia.

Although he has been busy recently, he still spends a lot of time with her, and she pays attention to the repair progress of her academy and checks it frequently, so she doesn't feel bored.

Today is also a rare free afternoon. Li Baojia took the greenery to play on the swing in the forest.

This swing was tied by Zhao Yi himself before. The two ends were hung on the branches of two peach trees nearby. The rope looked very strong and thick. There were many vines wrapped around it, which was very beautiful.

Luyi pushed her from behind, and Li Baojia smiled happily while wandering: "Luyi, push her higher."

Lu Yi did not dare to push too hard, but pushed her up slightly and said, "My dear, it's too high, I'm afraid it's dangerous."

Li Baojia pouted and said, "It won't be dangerous. If I fall, can you just catch me?"

Before Lu Yi could answer, something suddenly jumped out of the grass next to him.

Li Baojia was startled. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was a gray figure, wearing the clothes of a lower-class palace maid in the East Palace. The sleeves were rolled up at both ends and tied with a rope. Waxy and thin arms were exposed. This was a rough palace maid. .

Although this palace maid has a sallow complexion, she still looks pretty. There is a crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of her neck, which is a bit strange.

As soon as she knelt down, she kowtowed to Li Baojia a few times and said, "Please save me, I will repay you even if I am a cow or a horse."

Lu Yi cautiously held the rope of the swing steady in her hand, and stood quietly in front of Li Baojia to block it. If there was any problem with the palace maid in front of her, she could take action quickly.

Li Baojia looked her over and asked, "Why do you need my rescue? What happened to you?"

Yue Ya replied: "I wonder if your Majesty still remembers that this slave girl was the maid you bought from Madam Ya. Now that you are getting married, this slave girl has followed you from the Li Mansion to the East Palace."

She gritted her teeth and said frankly: "It turns out that the empress suspected that this slave was sent by someone else to monitor the empress and wanted to do her harm."

Lu Yi said: "Since you know this, why do you still come here today?"

Since she came to serve Li Baojia, she naturally inquired about everything around her, including her eating habits, daily routine, temperament, etc.

She also knew about Crescent Moon, but she didn't know where she was from, and she didn't know why His Highness even included this person's name when he was selecting a maid from the Li Mansion.

Even she knew that something was wrong with Crescent Moon, and it was impossible for His Highness not to know about it. His behavior was very strange. He brought someone to the East Palace, but said nothing about it. He made no next move, as if he had completely forgotten it. This thing is average.

Yueya stayed here peacefully for more than ten days, and suddenly jumped out again today for some unknown reason.

Yue Ya looked at Li Baojia and kowtowed to her several times. Her kowtow was real and her forehead was blood red, which made Li Baojia frown.

She said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help you, I will naturally help you."

Yue Ya lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. Her thin figure looked even thinner in the forest: "Actually, I didn't guess wrong. I was not from Ya Po's courtyard at the beginning. I was specially placed next to you to monitor you. people."

"But I swear to this again and again that I have absolutely no intention of harming my empress. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a good death. I will be a slave for generations and will never turn over!"

Her oath was very important to the palace maid. For many slaves, the greatest wish in their lives was to escape from slavery. Her oath was a gamble for several generations.

"I was originally the daughter of a hunting family in an ordinary village. My father treated me very well. My mother later gave birth to a younger brother. Although he was a boy, he was frail and sick. My father often taught me how to hunt regardless of the opposition of the villagers. , I want to pass on this craft to my slaves."

"But then my father suddenly contracted a strange disease and was dying in bed. After a while, he passed away. My mother was so sad that she passed away at night, leaving only my brother and me to depend on each other."

Li Baojia said: "What does this have to do with what you are going to say now?"

Yueya lowered her eyes and said sadly: "Because hunting was restricted in the mountains later, the slaves were originally women, and naturally they were not as strong as men. Hunting was not an advantage, and they could only barely support the family. Since the introduction of this system, it has become even more difficult. My brother, this At that time, he contracted the same disease as his father. The slave spent a lot of money to see the doctor. The doctor told the slave that as long as one person in the family has this disease, it will be like this for generations. If he gets sick, he basically has to wait to die. ”

"This slave is unwilling to give in. This is the only relative in the world. Naturally, I want to do everything possible to save him. At this time, Miss Su appeared. The people around her made a deal with the slave and led the slave to a courtyard. Here, the slave just needs to wait there quietly, wait for the person Miss Su wants to buy the slave, and then monitor that person's every move."

Li Baojia stood up and asked with some surprise: "The Miss Su you are talking about...is Su Ruhui?"

"Yes, it is indeed Miss Su Ruhui. There are many people in that courtyard at the same time. Only the slaves were sent to the empress, and the rest were sent elsewhere."

"In exchange, they will help the slave take care of his brother and help him find a doctor so that he can continue to live."

Lu Yi frowned when she heard this. She didn't believe that a young lady from the Su family had such ability to collect such people and send them to other girls. What did the Su family want to do?
Li Baojia obviously thought of this, but now that Su Ruhui is no longer in the capital, where will they go?
"So you want me to help you find your brother?"

Yue Ya nodded and said: "Yes, empress. Since Miss Su left the capital, I have lost contact with her, and there has been no news about my brother for a long time. I am worried about my brother's safety, and I don't know who to turn to. After thinking about it, I can only I can come and beg you.”

She came to beg her. Apart from being her current master, the most important reason was that she knew that Li Baojia was kind-hearted and a rare soft-hearted person among noble ladies from aristocratic families.

Of course, there is also an element of gambling in this, after all, she is really desperate now.

If anyone is willing to help her now, she is even willing to give her life.

Luyi said: "What does this matter have to do with your Majesty? Why should I help you?"
