Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 73
The butler tried his best to raise his head, and when his eyes met Xuan Muqing's sharp eyes, he immediately lowered his head, drooping his head, and shook his head heavily: "I have nothing to say."

"Okay." Xuan Muqing raised his hand and slapped the air twice, making a crisp sound. He turned his head and looked at Nie Long raised some eyebrows slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Nie Long, you should Know what to do."

"The subordinates know." Nie Long glanced at the butler who was almost limp on the ground, and replied.

"Go down." Xuan Muqing waved his sleeve casually, then turned and walked to An Liuyan's room.

Nie Long walked slowly in front of the butler, gripped the handle of the knife tightly, knelt down on one knee, his eyes swept across the sweaty face of the butler: "Butler, you should be aware of His Royal Highness' methods."

The housekeeper looked up at Nie Long's face, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud, with deep sorrow in his laughter: "Guard Nie, my servant, I have been with His Highness the Crown Prince for so long, for those who betrayed His Highness What will happen, my slave, I know very well."

"In that case, what about you?" Before Nie Long finished speaking, the housekeeper committed suicide in front of Nie Long.

"Guard Nie?" The steward exhausted his last strength, his old hand grabbed Nie Long's wrist, blood slid down the corner of his mouth, he looked into Nie Long's eyes, and said: "I just beg His Royal Highness not to hurt this slave!" family."

Nie Long maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee. After a long time, he slowly stood up. He walked to the door, looked at the two guards at the door, and said: "Go and dispose of the corpse in the study room of His Highness the Prince." .”

"Yes."

Xia Jingyan was sitting in the west chamber, holding a delicate porcelain vase in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Miss." Panting, Xiao Cui rushed in from the outside, with an anxious look in her eyes.

Xia Jingyan tucked the porcelain bottle into her sleeve without any trace, then stood up slowly, her eyes swept over Xiaocui's body gracefully: "What happened?"

"The butler is dead." Xiao Cui took a breath and said hastily, "Just now, I saw two guards carrying the butler's body in the garden."

"Dead?" Xia Jingyan raised her eyebrows lightly, her eyes did not reveal a trace of surprise, her lips slightly lifted: "The butler is dead, why are you panicking?"

"Will His Royal Highness know that we secretly bribed the housekeeper?" Before Xiaocui finished speaking, Xia Jingyan gave her a hard look, signaling her not to continue.

"Xiao Cui." Xia Jingyan walked up to Xiao Cui, put her hands on her shoulders, fixed her eyes on Xiao Cui's eyes, and said word by word: "How many times have I told you, don't panic. We Absolutely nothing will happen."

"Yes." Xiao Cui replied, but her two hands were twisting restlessly underneath.

The imperial concubine lay on the bed with half-closed eyes, her bright red lips raised slightly, she looked at the letter in her hand, and there was a little joy in her eyes.

"Hitch." She sat up from the bed and handed the letter in front of the hag, "Now even the king of Huijiang has agreed to my plan, do you have any objections?"

The hag put both hands in front of her body, lowered her eyebrows, and said: "Everything is according to your mother's wishes, I don't know what your mother wants to do?"

The noble concubine stood up slowly, with her hands behind her back, her eyes darted around the hag, and she said calmly: "I heard that there is a poison that can make people look like they are suffering from a cold, right?"

"Yes." The hag replied solemnly.

"Okay, I want you to inject this kind of poison." The noble concubine put her hand on her forehead, her red lips slightly curled up, but she turned her head to look at the hag's face worriedly, and asked: "Can an ordinary imperial physician detect this kind of poison?"

"This kind of poison is difficult to detect except for people with particularly strong medical skills." The hag paused, her eyes swept over the noble concubine, she hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Then what will the crown prince do?"

"Prince?" There was a hint of disdain in the voice of the imperial concubine, her sleeves raised an arc in the air, and she said coldly: "Let those two maids in the Prince's mansion restrain him, and we must not let him Find something, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.”

"This subordinate understands." The hag raised her head and glanced at the noble concubine, then left respectfully.

The night was very quiet, Xia Jingyan was sitting alone in the yard, the wind was blowing her long hair.A black figure flew over from a distance, Xia Jingyan turned her head to meet the hag's face, her lips curled up slightly, and she said in a voice full of pride: "You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time. "

"Wait for me?" The hag raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes glowed with surprise, she sat down in front of Xia Jingyan, with a smile on her ferocious face: "How did you know I would come tonight? "

"The butler is dead." Xia Jingyan took a sip of the already cold tea, raised her eyes slightly, looked at the hag's face and said slowly: "My maid Xiaocui thought I bribed the butler, But?" She paused, and put the teacup in her hand on the table: "I think the housekeeper should be the spy you planted in the prince's mansion, right?"

"You're smart." The smile on the corner of the hag's mouth widened. She didn't deny Xia Jingyan's words, but looked at Xia Jingyan with unsatisfactory eyes, and said as if reminding her: "It's just that the more some people know, I'm afraid he will die sooner."

Xia Jingyan stood up from the stool slowly, without surprise on her face, she turned her back to the hag, and said with a smile in her voice: "At least I know that I will be safe now, after all, you are still here. Use me, can't you?"

The ghost walked up to Xia Jingyan, looked at her back, her eyes revealed a faint light of appreciation, she stretched out a hand and patted Xia Jingyan's shoulder, and said, "Master wants you and Xinlan to find a way soon Hold on to the prince."

"Tiedown?" Xia Jingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was an unbelievable light in her eyes. She sneered and said, "How do we tie down His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"This is your business." The hag said coldly, and she gave Xia Jingyan a meaningful look in her eyes, "Aren't you very smart? My old lady believes that you should have the ability to tie down His Royal Highness. "After speaking, the hag's figure disappeared strangely.

Xia Jingyan looked at the ghost's disappearing figure, her lips curled up slightly, and her hands gradually tightened inside her sleeves.

How can she tie down the prince?Princess?Or Shen Xinlan?

When An Liuyan opened her eyes, Liu Xueyao was sleeping soundly lying on the edge of the bed. An Liuyan gently blinked her slender eyelashes, and there was an unbelievable light in her eyes. She shouted in a half hoarse voice: "Xueyao?"

Liu Xueyao slowly raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, and after seeing An Liuyan, big drops of tears fell from her eye sockets, she sobbed: "Crown Princess, you finally woke up .”

An Liuyan pulled Liu Xueyao's arm, her eyes glowed with excitement, she pursed her dry lips, and pulled Liu Xueyao to sit down: "Xueyao, when did you wake up? Has the poison on your body been cured?"

"Yeah." Liu Xueyao nodded desperately, and tears fell from her eyes: "The doctor showed Xueyao, and Xueyao's body is fine. But the princess is still pregnant. Well, how did you make yourself like this?"

An Liuyan gave a wry smile a few times, she raised her head and looked at the somewhat rundown courtyard outside, and said word by word: "To the people in the mansion, this concubine is just a concubine who has fallen out of favor. so what?"

Liu Xueyao looked at An Liuyan's face, hesitant to speak, she wiped her tears with her sleeves, then smiled, and carefully took a bowl of chicken soup from the table to An Liuyan's room. In front of her, she said persuasively: "Now the princess is still taking good care of her body." She sighed faintly from her nose, and seemed to mention it inadvertently: "Actually, His Royal Highness still cares about the princess. The princess is seriously injured and unconscious. During this period of time, His Highness the Crown Prince has severely punished the people in the mansion, and during the period when the Crown Princess was in a coma, His Highness the Crown Prince also visited several times."

"Really?" An Liuyan took a sip of the chicken soup, without raising her eyebrows, she just asked lightly, as if what she heard had nothing to do with her.

After resting for a few days, An Liuyan's complexion has obviously improved.An Liuyan sat in front of the window sill, letting the sun hit her face, with a slight smile on her lips.

Liu Xueyao walked to An Liuyan's side, looked at An Liuyan who seemed to have become more and more silent in recent days, and tentatively asked: "Maidmaid accompany the princess for a walk outside?"

An Liuyan's gaze stayed outside the window, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded slightly.

An Liuyan sat by the lotus pond and looked at the koi inside, feeling a little absent-minded.

"Is the princess getting better?" Shen Xinlan's voice came from a distance, An Liuyan turned her head to see the tall figure accompanying Shen Xinlan, her lips slightly raised.

"Thank you side concubine for your concern, my concubine's health is much better." An Liuyan's voice didn't have the slightest ups and downs, like a deep pool of stagnant water.

Xuan Muqing looked at An Liuyan's thin face, turned her head away uncomfortably, and said stiffly after a long time: "If there is anything wrong with the princess, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

An Liuyan pulled her lips hard, and the smile on the corner of her mouth widened, revealing a perfunctory smile, and she respectfully bowed to Xuan Muqing: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, but my concubine is now I feel a little tired, and I want to go back and rest first."

Xuan Muqing looked at An Liuyan's slender and still figure, and couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, and the expression on his face seemed to twitch twice.

"The prince remembers that he still has some important matters to deal with, so he won't accompany you." After speaking, Xuan Muqing left in a hurry, leaving Shen Xinlan alone.

Shen Xinlan stood on the spot and looked at Xuan Muqing's back who was almost running away, a gleam of resentment appeared in her eyes.

"Mother." The second prince walked slowly in front of the imperial concubine, his face was full of sinister light: "I have already buried all the embezzled disaster relief funds in the courtyard of An Zhanxiong's house."
