Chapter 45 The Great Shame

Shen Qing carefully hid outside the house and panted lightly, but the atmosphere inside the house was frozen.

Madam Liu looked at Da Furen's naked and flustered appearance, and then listened to the words in her mouth, her eyeballs rolled a few times in an instant.

The old lady knew that she was not easy to fool, she just said: "Madam Liu, it's getting late, I won't keep you here."

"Okay." Mrs. Liu responded quickly, but she had other ideas in her mind, and looked inside: "If there is anything that needs help, the old lady will definitely tell you at any time."

The old lady smiled politely, and then Madam Liu turned and left.

After leaving the room, he showed a smile, and hurriedly asked the people around him: "Where is the young master?"

"When the young master came, he picked up a handkerchief, looked at the words on it, and then left with the servant." The maid replied.

Mrs. Liu didn't think much about it when she heard the words, but the woman next to her could see that she was in a good mood.

"Madam seems to be very happy. Could it be that Duke Sumu's mansion has agreed to the marriage between Eldest Young Master and Miss Shuang'er?" the old woman asked courteously.

Mrs. Liu went out of the yard, and looked back again. The lady was still jumping around, she yelled at the lady from time to time, and smiled: "Hurry up. Go back and ask the master. How did Madam die, and why is the spirit of grievances still haunting Da Furen now."

The mother-in-law's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly nodded in response.

After Madam Liu left, Shen Qing slowly moved out from the courtyard wall. Hearing Madam Liu's words, she had to admire her courage.

Seeing Mrs. Liu gone, Shen Qing turned around and prepared to go to a secluded room in the back mountain. Even if Xuanyuanli destroyed Meiyun Pavilion, he should still keep the secret room here.

Shen Qing found the secret room familiarly, looked at the big dusty lock on the door, frowned, turned around and found a key from under a potted plant under the steps, but did not wait for her to go back When she opened the door, she heard someone whispering, and the voices of these two people were very familiar to her.

"Mr. Liu, don't you want to?"

Liu Qing looked at the dignified woman with a pure face in front of her, leaned forward, took a deep breath of her fragrance, and laughed softly: "The most talented woman in the capital is actually so vicious."

Yuan Shuang heard the word 'malicious', and clenched his teeth: "Are you going to do it or not? If you don't want to, then so be it." After saying that, he turned his head to leave, but Liu Qing grabbed his wrist.

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Yuan Shuang opened his hand violently, took out the handkerchief and wiped it continuously, as if touching something dirty.

"What are you doing!" Yuan Shuang became annoyed.

Liu Qing looked at her who was polite just now, but now she couldn't hide her contempt and dislike, her eyes were dark and pretentious: "You let me defile Huainan Princess's innocence, this carelessness will kill her. Miss, you let me take such a big risk, wouldn't you do me some good?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to her unwillingly.

Yuan Shuang slapped his hand away again, and looked at him as if looking at a pile of dirty things: "What are you, how dare you miss me? As for Princess Huainan, aren't you drooling already? , I just want to help you, since you don't want to, then forget it."

Liu Qing looked at the blood on the back of his hand cut by sharp nails, raised his hand, took a deep breath on the tip of his nose, and then laughed: "What if I tell her your plan? Or, tell Huainan King?"

"Do you have evidence?" Yuan Shuang was not stupid, and looked at him coldly: "When the time comes, you will wantonly slander me, I see how Mr. Liu will explain to our Su Mu government!" After finishing speaking, he turned and left coldly.

"Okay, I'll help you, but Missy has to promise me a small request." Liu Qing looked at her back and said.

Yuan Shuang's footsteps stopped, the corners of his mouth raised, and he looked back at him indifferently: "What request?"

"Go boating on the lake with me, just once." Liu Qing said with a smile.

Yuan Shuang couldn't see the expression on his face, but when she remembered that she had folded a silver pigeon and let Shen Qing go like this, she was too unwilling to let Shen Qing go, so she gritted her teeth: "Yes, but I have to decide the time and location. "She decides the time, and it won't be the same after ten years.

Liu Qing looked at her really beautiful face, picked up the handkerchief she had written to lead him over, sniffed it on the tip of her nose, and laughed: "Okay, but miss, please be careful, what I Liu Qing lacks the most is Be patient."

Yuan Shuang saw that he had figured out his cleverness, so he clenched the handkerchief in his palm, turned his head and left quickly.

Liu Qing looked at her haughty and prickly appearance, turned her neck, and narrowed her eyes: "Prickly delicate flowers, I prefer..."

After watching all this, Shen Qing's eyebrows twitched, but it would be a disaster sooner or later to keep Liu Qing.

She looked at the hairpin in her hand, and was about to move closer, but before she could make a move, the servant beside Liu Qing jumped out, picked out a long sword, and came straight towards Shen Qing.

Looking at the boy's skillful movements, she knew that he was a master of martial arts, no wonder Liu Qing was so unscrupulous, it turned out that he was surrounded by such a master to protect him.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qing didn't notice the abnormality, but asked impatiently.

The boy paused, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night, and all the murderous aura just now disappeared.

"Maybe it's a beast on the mountain..." The servant was uncertain.

"That's all." Liu Qing fiddled with the bloodstains on his hands, and said with a smile: "Go and make arrangements, my son is going to kiss Huainan Princess tonight."

"My lord, this is too risky. What's more, King Huainan came here during the day, and maybe at night..." The boy hesitated to persuade, but Liu Qing turned cold: "Stop talking nonsense, you forgot how your brother died." I'm warning you, don't force me to kill your whole family, now your old lady and your pregnant daughter-in-law are all in my hands!"

The boy's face froze, he gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to respond.

Shen Qing crouched low in the dark, watched them leave, then looked at the unopened secret room, turned her head and quickly returned to the small courtyard.

Nanny Yang was still waiting in the room, and the old lady's close wife was already waiting outside the door.

"Princess, it's not peaceful on the mountain tonight, the old lady asked the slaves to come and take care of her." Yan Yan said outside.

Nanny Yang looked a little anxious, she couldn't help looking back, seeing that she hadn't come back, she had to carefully open the door, and said: "Please trouble Madam Yan, but the princess has rested now, you Rest in the ear room."

"It's really early for the princess to rest." Just like her name, Nanny Yan has a serious face and sharp eyes, and she keeps looking into the room.

Nanny Yang pretended to be calm, stood at the door of the room, and said with a smile, "I knelt in the nunnery for a long time today, and my body is still not sharp, so I always feel sleepy."

After hearing this, Nanny Yan wanted to move forward, but Nanny Yang hurriedly stopped her: "You are..."

"My man is in the pharmacy. Although he only does some work of drying medicinal materials, he can know a thing or two about common diseases. I heard you said that the princess is lethargic, so I wanted to go in and see if the princess is ill. There won't be any delay..." After finishing speaking, a pair of strong hands grabbed Nanny Yang's shoulders, pushed her to the side, then walked in, and went straight to Shen Qing's big bed with the curtains hanging down.

Nanny Yang hastily rushed in, but Nanny Yan had already stood by the bed.

"Princess, the old lady asked the servants to come and say hello." Nurse Yan stood with her head bowed, but she was already prepared in her heart that there would be no one on the bed, so she wanted to continue talking, but there was a sound on the bed, followed by two sounds Cough: "Grandma is bothering."

Nanny Yang froze, turned her head to look at the half-closed window, moved over, and quietly closed the window tightly.

Sister Yan only heard rustling inside, and after a while, Shen Qing lifted the curtain by herself, her face was sleepy, and she coughed a few times.

"Is the princess suffering from a cold?" Yan Momo looked carefully at her bed, and frowned slightly when she saw that there was no one else.The old lady thought that the frequent hauntings must be caused by someone intentionally, but they searched all over the mountain, and they found all the people brought by themselves, and a few unrelated pilgrims, the only suspect was Shen Qing.

"Maybe." Shen Qing ignored her inquiring eyes, stood up and said with a smile, "I don't know why, once I enter this room, I feel very sleepy, does Mammy feel this way?"

Hearing what she said, Sister Yan really felt that her eyelids were a little heavy.

Shen Qing changed her clothes and said with a smile: "Is everything okay with grandma? I slept all afternoon today, and I didn't go to say hello to grandma."

When she said this, she was somewhat annoyed, as if she really thought so.

Looking at her, Sister Yan felt that her eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the incense lingering at the tip of her nose was getting stronger and stronger.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Qing asked when she saw her covering her forehead.

Sister Yan looked at her concerned expression, opened her mouth and said, "This servant seems to be very tired too, could it be that there is something evil in this room?"

"This is a wing room in the temple. If you say something evil, don't you want to scare me." Shen Qing smiled, and then said: "Since the mother is tired, why don't you just rest here for a while, grandma is still busy right now." I didn't rest, I went to ask Ann and come back."

Nanny Yan also wanted to follow, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she was stuck on the stool, so she couldn't stand up anyway, so she just lay down on the side and fell asleep.

Nanny Yang also had this symptom. Seeing that Nanny Yan had just fallen asleep, Shen Qing quickly poured a bowl of cold water for Nanny Yang: "Drink it quickly."

Nanny Yang opened her mouth to drink it all, Shen Qing then turned her head to pinch the incense in the corner stove, looked at Nanny Yan who was sleeping soundly, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Not long after Shen Qing left, two figures appeared on the barren slope behind the house, looking at the open window with greedy smiles.

When Shen Qing saw the old lady, she looked very tired. The old lady was frightened and wanted to call someone to chant scriptures, but the old lady was worried that the matter would spread, so she locked her in the room to calm down.

Yuan Shuang leaned against the old lady, tentatively talking about Xuanyuanli, before she finished, she saw Shen Qing approaching, she was taken aback: "Why are you here?"

Shen Qing walked into the hall, there were two silver charcoal braziers in the room, very warm.

She took off her cloak, stepped forward without any grudges and said with a smile: "I was sleepy this afternoon, and forgot to come to say hello to grandma. It just so happened that Madam Yan passed by, so I thought of coming."

The old lady raised her eyes and stared at her in a big red dress. Under the dim candlelight, she looked even better, but her eyes were so cold that they seemed to have no warmth.

"Wuhuan at noon?" the old lady asked directly.

"Well, the lord just happened to pass by, so he came up. He was supposed to say hello to grandma, but there was something urgent on the way, and he left in a hurry before he could take a bite of the meal." Shen Qing smiled gently. , a ladylike appearance, people can't fault it.

Seeing her like this, the old lady frowned: "It's okay, business first."

After the old lady said a few words indifferently, she stopped talking to her. Now she is more worried about the haunting. If the trouble continues like this, the things that were so hard to suppress back then will be exposed to everyone again. This is her death. Also do not want to see.

The old lady didn't speak, but Yuan Shuang was in a hurry. If she didn't go back, wouldn't Liu Qing be in a hurry?
"Princess, it's getting late, you should go earlier..."

Before Yuan Shuang finished speaking, she saw Shen Qing laughing and saying to Yan Yan: "I want to spend more time with my grandmother. My grandmother said that I have a strong evil spirit. This time I went up the mountain and read a lot of scriptures. I feel like I am bathed in spring breeze and enlightened by great wisdom. Maybe my mother also loves my daughter-in-law, God bless me."

After Shen Qing's words fell, Yuan Shuang didn't have an attack, but the old lady's temples popped out. She looked up at Shen Qing who was in good spirits, and frowned: "Her mother? Which mother?"

"In the past two days, I have always dreamed of a woman wearing a deep purple embroidered lotus flower. I don't know if it is my mother, but seeing her be kind and kind, and calling my daughter-in-law, I guess it is." Shen Qing said as if recalling, But in his mind, he was thinking about the unfinished painting he put on the table when he went to Ji Wuhuan's study room. The woman in the painting has a beautiful appearance, somewhat similar to his eyebrows and eyes. She is dressed in a purple dress with wide sleeves, bright and moving.

When the old lady heard this, her palms tightened suddenly.

Yuan Shuang was also a little unbelievable: "Second Aunt's favorite thing in front of her is purple clothes..."

"Okay!" The old lady interrupted her with a cold voice, and frowned at her: "It's getting late, you go back first."

When Yuan Shuang heard this, she was a little unhappy that the old lady wanted to drive her away first, and she hadn't finished talking about Xuanyuan Li, so she said softly, "Grandmother, Shuang'er told you that Xuanyuan Proton..."

"A mere proton wants to marry the eldest granddaughter of our Su Mu Gongfu, are you looking down on yourself, or are you looking down on our Su Mu Gongfu?" The old lady scolded without thinking carefully.

Yuan Shuang's nose was sore, and her eyes were full of tears. When did her grandmother reprimand herself like this in front of so many people?

"Grandmother, the proton will definitely..."

"Okay." The old lady interrupted her impatiently, she just wanted to know what else Shen Qing knew, whether there was really that person's ghost on this mountain: "Come here, take the eldest lady back. "

Yuan Shuang looked up at the maids around her, as if seeing irony in their eyes, she tightened her fingers tightly, glared at Shen Qing fiercely, turned her head and left.

Shen Qing was inexplicably stared at by her, the old lady looked down on Xuanyuan Li, could she still blame herself?
She raised the corners of her mouth in a good mood, but said: "Sister Shuang'er is still young, grandma, don't get angry."

After hearing her words, the old lady became even angrier, but she just told everyone with a cold face: "No one is allowed to reveal a word of what the eldest lady said just now!"

Shen Qing listened calmly, even if these people didn't say anything, Yuan Shuang would make a mess of herself sooner or later.

"What else did you see? Did she tell you something in a dream?" The old lady asked tentatively.

Seeing her taking the bait, Shen Qing also made a serious recall: "I didn't say anything, but I always mentioned my uncle, talking about things back then..."

Hearing this, the old lady felt chills running down her spine. She hurriedly took a sip of the hot tea beside her and said, "Got it, you can go back first. Perhaps your mother wants to see what her daughter-in-law looks like. She I love talking nonsense in front of you, don't take it to heart." After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at Shen Qing and said, "Especially don't talk nonsense with others."

The old lady's words had a warning meaning, Shen Qing just pretended not to hear it, obediently obeyed, stayed behind, looked at the north wind howling outside, and felt a little timid: "Grandmother, I brought a Mother Yang is by my side, she is getting old and her eyesight is not good, can you send two people to accompany you on this way back?"

The old lady didn't think much, and directly recruited two women to escort her back. After she left, she lost her strength and sat on the chair, and kept saying: "How did she know? She came to Sumugong The mansion is only a few days old, so it is impossible to know what happened back then, even Ji Wuhuan didn't know, so how could she know." The old lady looked up at the direction Shen Qing was leaving, and clenched her hands tightly.

The woman who was close to her came in, stood aside and said respectfully: "Old Furen, Da Furen has taken the medicine and rested."

"En." The old lady nodded: "Have you ever arranged for someone to serve her?"

"It's been arranged. If there is any abnormality, we will definitely report it." The mother-in-law said.

The old lady just nodded, and the candles in the room flickered, but she turned pale with fright, and when she saw that there was only the wind blowing, she closed her eyes tightly again, and said after a while: "Go prepare the scriptures, I want to chant."

"Old madam, it's late at night, you will have an early morning..."

"No." The old lady got up, her usual shrewd eyes only showed exhaustion, the old lady didn't dare to say any more, so she could only help her to leave.

After walking for a while, Shen Qing looked back at the lit candles in the small Buddhist hall, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Didn't the old lady never believe that the second lady is back, she should believe it now.

"Princess, what's the matter?" Mother Yang asked.

Shen Qing shook her head slightly, looked at the two wives sent by the old lady to escort her back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and they walked forward.

After Liu Qing entered the room, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"My lord..." The servant wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Qing turned his head coldly and hissed, "Do you want to die?"

The boy hurriedly shut his mouth tightly, and then Liu Qing pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed, looked at the burning incense in his hand, saw a faint figure in the curtain, and said to the boy: "You go out first."

The servant didn't dare to disobey, turned his head and went out of the room. Liu Qing put his hands on the bed, rubbed it, and hesitated when he felt the slightly rough skin, but the room was too dark, and he couldn't see anything. Unclear, he ignored the others and sneered: "I want to taste Huainan King's plaything too, to see what it tastes like..."

When Shen Qing came back, everything inside and outside the house followed her instructions, but there was no light.

"What is that!" Shen Qing walked into the yard and suddenly pointed to something.

The mother-in-law who followed was startled, and looked up, but there was nothing to be seen except the darkness.

"Princess, did you see something?" the mother-in-law asked.

"I seem to have seen a figure. It's broken. Nurse Yan is still resting in my room." Shen Qing hurriedly said, when the two wives heard it, Nurse Yan is a capable old man by the old lady's side, so nothing can happen. Then he hurriedly said: "Quickly, turn on the lights and call the guards!" After finishing speaking, he hurried to Shen Qing's room.

Nanny Yang looked at Shen Qing in surprise: "Princess..."

"Let's go, if it's too late, there will be no show." Shen Qing said with a faint smile, and stepped up to catch up.

The maids and women in the room had woken up early, and hurriedly chased after hearing the noise, but when they opened the door with lanterns in hand, they only saw a young servant dressing a naked man.

Looking at each other, everyone was stunned.

Madam Yan's drug was not deep, only one or two hours' dose.Liu Qing's tossing, coupled with the noise outside the house, also woke up leisurely, and sat up from the bed without knowing the situation: "What's wrong?"

Someone recognized her and exclaimed, "Nurse Yan!"

Liu Qing was also stunned. With the light of the lantern, she turned her head and saw that this was Shen Qing, she was clearly a stern woman with wrinkled skin.

Sister Yan saw that everyone was looking at her, and when she lowered her head, she realized that her clothes were completely open, and Liu Qing's clothes hadn't been put on yet.

"You—!" Nurse Yan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, Liu Qing also had a dark face, and hurriedly got dressed.

When Shen Qing arrived, the atmosphere was very awkward.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qing came in from the outside, seeing Liu Qing's look of wanting to die, the corners of his mouth raised coldly: "Why did Mr. Liu appear in my concubine's room?"

"Princess, you..." Yan Yan stared at Shen Qing with complicated eyes. She felt tired before, could it be that she was playing tricks?

Before Shen Qing could open her mouth, Mother Yang spoke up: "Nurse Yan, seeing that you are tired, the princess gave you a bed to rest. How dare you do such a dirty thing with a man here!"

Sister Yan felt ashamed of her old face, now that her innocence had been lost, she slammed into the corner of the table beside her with red eyes.

No one else could stop her. Although Madam Yan is by the old lady's side, she has always been the most ruthless. She has killed many maids and servants in private. It is not a pity to die now. What's more, even if she doesn't die now, the old man People can't stand her.

But they were all looking forward to the death of Nanny Yan, but Shen Qing was unwilling.How could it be so cheap for these people.

She stepped forward quickly, grabbed the clothes behind Yanmao's neck, flung them aside, and fell to the ground.Seeing her pale face with a lost soul, she said coldly: "If you want to die, you can't die in this quiet place of Buddhism, come here, tie me up and send it to grandma immediately."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Qing with a livid face, his eyes were cold: "Mr. Liu, why did you enter my concubine's room late at night? Is it to assassinate, or do something wrong?"

Liu Qing was so depressed that her heart ached, she clearly had a foolproof plan, and the person on the bed turned into this old and ugly woman.

"Of course I don't dare to be disrespectful to the princess, it's really..." He thought of a way, but he couldn't say it.

"What is it really?" Shen Qing asked forcefully.

Seeing the woman being kidnapped, Liu Qing gritted her teeth and said, "It was the woman who seduced me. I came from the barren slope behind. I don't know that this is the princess's room. Please check carefully."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he wished he could bite off his tongue.

The maids and women next to him also suffocated their laughter and their faces turned blue. It is an anecdote that the dignified son of Jing Zhaoyin is actually a good old woman.

"Really?" Shen Qing looked at Liu Qing who didn't dare to raise his head, recalled his greedy and disgusting eyes in the daytime, and raised his brows slightly.

Liu Qing gritted his teeth, his face tensed, and nodded: "Yes."

Nanny Yang's mouth also twitched, but she hated Liu Qing very much.But all of this is probably within the control of the princess.

Nanny Yang raised her eyes and looked at the orderly Shen Qing. If it was an ordinary girl, seeing a man having a private meeting with his servants in her boudoir, she would probably cry in fright. How could she be interrogated and punished like her? penalty?

Shen Qing didn't intend to procrastinate any longer. Seeing Liu Qing's "bear the burden of humiliation", she said: "This concubine can see this matter for Master Liu's sake and not pursue it, but after all, you are the nanny next to your grandmother...so this This concubine will truthfully report the matter to Grandma and Master Liu, so let's go."

Liu Qing really didn't have the face to look at Shen Qing, and didn't have any doubts about this matter at all, so he let the boy take him away with a dark face.

As soon as he left, the maids couldn't hold back their mouths and laughed.

Shen Qing looked at them gloating, and really didn't know how Su Mu Gong's mansion trained his servants, but looking at Su Mu's mansion now, I'm afraid it's going downhill, such a rampant mansion, even if the emperor can bear it now However, once the new emperor ascends the throne, it is absolutely impossible to stay.

"A strange man entered my concubine's room to do dirty things, are you happy?" Shen Qing raised the corners of his mouth and asked lightly, but it was this light tone that made everyone shudder instantly and knelt down one after another. Seeing this, the two women who came with her made an excuse to leave, but Shen Qing said with a smile: "It's too late, please come over here, I haven't had a sip of hot tea yet."

"Thank you, Princess, for your compassion." Seeing that they couldn't leave, the two women had to stay and watch Shen Qing deal with his servants.

Since the incident of the man hiding in the room last time, these women and maids have settled down a lot, but they still haven't really regarded her as their master.

"Who is in charge of guarding the door?" Shen Qing asked calmly, holding the hot tea handed over by Nanny Yang.

The people below looked at each other, and after a while, a young maid came out: "It's a slave..."

Shen Qing looked at her gritted teeth, blinked, and said lightly: "In that case, then I will trouble you, and go back to see grandma with the two nuns?"

The servant girl suddenly raised her head: "But my concubine, this servant is totally ignorant of the private meeting between Madam Yan and others, it is not this servant who let him in."

Shen Qing smiled lightly: "Really? Where were you when the concubine came back? Watched at the door, or did you go back to sleep?"

"This..." The girl rolled her eyes in a hurry, but she didn't know what to say.

Shen Qing said again: "My concubine, whether you don't like me as a concubine, you don't want to guard the door for this concubine, or you help Yan Momo to have a private meeting with someone in my concubine's room, this matter is left to the grandmother to handle, after all You are grandmother's servant." After finishing speaking, he looked at the two women who were left behind and asked with a smile, "Do you think this is right?"

"This..." The two women looked at each other, and said again: "Since she serves in front of the princess, she is naturally her slave. Now that this lowly servant girl has committed such a mistake, she can be beaten to death."

After the two women finished speaking, everyone buried their heads deeper.Although ordinary people are also afraid of this cheap princess, now hearing that people around the old lady also said that they can let this princess be beaten and killed, their hearts are suspended.

"Thank you Mammy for the reminder, but this is the first time I've seen such a thing, let the Nanny take this girl back." Shen Qing glanced at the two of them lightly, but said no more.

Seeing this, the two quickly took the dumbfounded maid and left.

Yang Momo looked at Shen Qing, whose face was slightly pale, thinking that she was frozen from running around today, and hurriedly said: "Princess, servants, let's get someone to clean up another wing."

"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded, stood up, looked at the people below who didn't dare to show their spirits, and smiled: "I don't have a hobby of killing, but you'd better recognize clearly, who is the master between you and this concubine."

Although she smiled lightly, the coldness in her voice was no less than Ji Wuhuan's, and everyone knelt down on the ground, answering repeatedly.

Seeing this, Shen Qing didn't pursue further.What happened tonight must be even more exciting when it spreads tomorrow!
Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Qing's mouth curled up.

Sister Yan was brought to the old lady, and regardless of being on the mountain, she was beaten half to death and thrown to the firewood house in the back mountain. The old lady also rolled her eyes and passed out in anger. Her personal nurse, and Jing Zhaoyin's son was caught on the granddaughter-in-law's bed. She felt as if she had been slapped hard on the face, and the pain was burning. She was so ashamed that she wished she could kill Nurse Yan immediately. She didn't have any sense up.

Yuan Shuang knew about it early the next morning, and the servants had already spread the word. Mrs. Liu led her down the mountain early in the morning without saying a word.

"What a waste!" Yuan Shuang threw the rouge she was painting on the dressing table, and then angrily went to the old lady's room.

After the old lady woke up, she felt congested and flustered. She looked at the waiter beside her and asked, "What happened to Madam Yan last night?" I heard she said yesterday that she felt ashamed as soon as she entered Shen Qing's room. She was tired, and Shen Qing also said that she had dreamed about that person, so she wondered if it was true that her ghost had returned.

"The servants have been guarding all night, and there is no movement." The maid replied.

"Then what happened to the princess?"

The maid continued to shake her head, and the old lady's expression was slightly gloomy: "How is the eldest lady?"

"After waking up, I didn't make trouble anymore, but I just didn't want to eat, and I just wanted to go down the mountain." The maid said timidly.

"She's really timid now." The old lady sarcastically said: "Order to go down, pack up your things and go down the mountain immediately." She doesn't care about what will happen to Shen Qing now, the things of that year are about to be exposed, she will never Will continue to stay here again.

"Grandmother..." Just as she was speaking, Yuan Shuang ran in, and the old lady turned down when she saw her, "Go and pack your things and prepare to go down the mountain."

"Going down the mountain?" Yuan Shuang stepped forward dissatisfied: "But grandma, what we have to do..."

"Shut up!" The old lady looked at her angrily: "Don't bring up this matter again in the future." Now she is even wondering if the reason why that person's soul came out to cause trouble is because she knew she was going to attack Shen Qing .

Yuan Shuang was stunned: "Grandma, can you forgive..."

"What do you know?" The old lady scolded coldly, looking at her self-righteous look, her face tightened slightly: "You are not young, I will make a marriage for you before the New Year, don't think about delaying it any longer " After that, he sent her out directly.

When it came to marriage, Yuan Shuang was struck by lightning, not to mention that she wanted to marry Xuanyuanli wholeheartedly, but she had to marry someone else as a last resort, but her body had already been given to Xuanyuanli.

She stood at the door in a daze, and the maid Lianqiao stepped forward: "Miss, should we talk to Da Furen about this?"

"Yes!" Yuan Shuang came to his senses and started to walk away. Turning around, he saw Forsythia frowned, "What's your name?"

Lian Qiao stepped forward happily: "Slave Lian Qiao, elder sister Yin Ge's distant cousin, the fourth class sweeper girl in your yard..."

Yuan Shuang glanced at her, her appearance was ordinary, but she looked at Ji Ling: "From now on, you will take Yin Ge's place." After saying that, she walked away.

Hearing this, Lianqiao was so happy that she almost jumped up. It just so happened that the girl who left because of a stomachache came back. Seeing Lianqiao, she said disdainfully, "What are you jumping around for? Picking up money?"

Lianqiao looked at her, sneered, and straightened her clothes: "Miss just ordered me to replace Elder Sister Yinge as a first-class maid." After finishing speaking, she looked into her wide-eyed eyes, held up her skirt and Chase Yuanshuang away.

The maid bit her lips tightly: "Whatever cat or dog dare to show off, even if they fly on a branch, they can't become a phoenix!" After finishing speaking, she also left.

As soon as they left, a man came out around the corner.

"Princess, I'm ready." Nanny Yang said from behind.

Shen Qing looked at the backs of the two little maids who were arguing just now, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and handed her the pill in her hand: "I'll drag the person in front, you must ask the reason why the second lady died suddenly .”

Nanny Yang looked at the pill: "This is..."

"If she is willing to say it, this pill can make her die immediately without pain. If she doesn't want to say it, you can keep it safe." Shen Qing said with a smile.

Nanny Yang held back her astonishment and tentative words, took the pill and turned to leave.

Watching her leave, Shen Qing also turned around and went to the old lady's room, but when she reached the door, she heard a cough, followed by a familiar voice.

"Princess, long time no see."

Shen Qing turned around and looked at Ji Rui who was dressed in a scarlet robe, she couldn't hide her femininity and morbidity, her eyes were predatory, her lips against her pale skin were extremely bright red, and her strange-colored eyes made people dare not look directly at her. the chill.

"Why did the Ninth Prince come here?" Shen Qing was puzzled, but looking at the person supporting him, it wasn't the attendant he usually brought with him, but a beardless father-in-law.

Ji Rui turned his eyes lightly, glanced at the person who was supporting him, coughed a few more times and said: "I came up the mountain with the empress, and I heard that the old lady is here, so I came to see you, Yuan Is Missy in the house?"

Shen Qing looked at his well-behaved appearance, stood on the side playfully, and smiled as if she couldn't understand his eyes: "I don't know."

Hearing this, Ji Rui coughed even louder, and stared at Shen Qing as if she was about to eat her, but this girl, the bright red really suits her, the original five-point color, now looks very good.

Shen Qing was still standing on one side, she didn't want to provoke the queen's people, she hadn't washed the mud all over herself, so she didn't want to participate in other people's vortex, right?

"Princess..." When Ji Rui said this, she was already gnashing her teeth: "I heard that Nanzhao Kingdom will send envoys over in a few days, and when the time comes..." Ji Rui deliberately stopped talking.

Shen Qing's drooping brows paused slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes, looking at Ji Rui who was standing in front of her, her palms were slightly clenched.

Ji Rui looked at her like this, with the corners of his lips raised high, the woman he fell in love with was really unusual...

Before Ji Rui finished thinking, he suddenly felt that something had hit his ankle, frowned in pain, and looked down, it was the scabbard of a dagger.

He reacted instantly and shouted: "Quick, there are assassins, hurry up and protect the empress!"

"There!" Shen Qing also covered her mouth and pointed to somewhere on the roof in panic: "Could it be the assassin who came last night?"

"The assassin who came last night?" The father-in-law also spoke, his voice sharp.

Shen Qing nodded hurriedly: "Last night something happened in my courtyard, I thought it was my eyesight, it turns out that there are really assassins ambushing on this mountain."

Ji Rui hurriedly looked at the people following behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you protect the empress and catch the assassin!"

Everyone didn't dare to delay and left quickly, but the father-in-law hesitated for a while.

Ji Rui pushed him: "You go too, don't worry about my prince, at least there are people from Su Mu's mansion here, they dare not do anything to my prince!"

The Queen's safety is of great importance, the father-in-law turned his head and looked at Shen Qing who seemed to be frightened, and frowned: "The Ninth Prince is waiting for the slave here, and he must not leave."

Ji Rui nodded, but Shen Qing heard the threat.

The father-in-law turned his head and left, and Shen Qing asked: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, who is frightened by outsiders, may be threatened now."

"This is not a place to talk, follow me." Ji Rui took her arm and walked forward, but Shen Qing didn't want to continue getting involved, so she stood still and looked at him: "Ninth Prince, I have already helped you I, you should know, if I get involved in your affairs, I will be smashed to pieces." Shen Qing withdrew her hand and said lightly.

When Ji Rui heard this, she turned her head to see how she immediately became calm, her eyes were bent, and her tone was a bit bleak: "Others will be crushed, but you won't."

"Why does the Ninth Prince believe that..."

"Just because you are the princess of Huainan, Ji Wuhuan's woman." Ji Rui finished speaking indifferently, with murderous intent on the corner of his mouth: "This time the queen came up the mountain, one is for you Miss Yuan family, and, It's you, do you think you can escape?"

Shen Qing frowned, why did the queen seek her?

Seeing her doubts, Ji Rui raised his hand and brushed the scattered hair around her ears, but saw her take two steps back abruptly, killing intent suddenly appeared in her different eyes: "Why, you also start to dislike me as an unlucky prince the monster?"

Shen Qing looked at the way he suddenly exploded, and frowned slightly: "Those people will come back soon when they find that there is no assassin. If the Ninth Prince has anything to say, just say it here."

Ji Rui looked at her alienated look, lowered his hands indifferently, bent his eyes and smiled, no sadness or joy could be seen in his blood-red pupils: "The empress wants to use my blood for his son who has been ill for a long time, Sacrifice." After finishing speaking, looking at Shen Qing's wide eyes, he turned around coldly, with the corners of his mouth raised, but his eyes were extremely cold: "I have been here three times a year since I was a child, this time, I don't want to take me again. to save her useless son. I want you to help me, otherwise, I will take you with me when I go to hell, after all, I like you so much."

Looking at him, Shen Qing could only feel the chill in her bones, but if she was involved in the queen's affairs, she would only have more troubles.

"Ninth Prince, there are no assassins."

Before Shen Qing could answer, the father-in-law who had just left had already returned, looked at Shen Qing, then helped Ji Rui and went straight to the old lady's room, Ji Rui didn't turn back and say anything, and left straight away.

Shen Qing looked at his back, sighed, picked up the scabbard on the ground, and followed him in step.
