The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 126 Doubt

Murong Shen immediately frowned when he heard the words: "After all, the crown prince is a man, and he is different from the concubine, how can he live in the same bedroom? I'm afraid it's unreasonable?"

"Our empress said that this is just a stopgap measure, and His Highness the Crown Prince will leave soon." The eunuch raised his eyes and glanced at Murong Shen and said, "What's more, there are three palaces in Yongchun Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince used to be in Living in Yongchun Palace, this is something His Majesty allows."

"It seems that I'm meddling in my own business." Murong Shen sneered immediately when he heard this, and said: "Xiaguan's younger sister entered the palace today and lingered with the empress for a long time, I would like to ask, when will the empress let her go? The mother in the family misses her very much, so I asked my father-in-law to let me know."

Natai listened to the words, and finally his complexion changed, he said wait a moment, then turned and went into the hall.

Murong Shen stood where he was, with a serious expression on his face.

What a big deal!

He was right.

Liu'er who was out of the palace, the closed palace gate, the missing prince and princess, all of these were deeply strange.

"Master Tai Tu, Miss Murong said, Madam is kind enough to let her stay in Yongchun Palace for a few more days, so she won't come out to see Lord Tai Tu." After a while, the eunuch came out and said.

Murong Shen raised his eyes when he heard the words: "You don't even see me?"

"Yes." The eunuch bowed his head and said, "This is the order of the empress, it has nothing to do with Miss Murong."

When Murong Shen heard this, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he fixed a glance at the eunuch, turned around and left without saying a word.

The eunuch looked at him suspiciously, turned around and went back to report to Concubine Rong Gui.

"Let him go!" After hearing this, Rong Guifei turned her head and glanced at Murong Yan who was already sitting beside her with a guilty expression on her face, grabbed her hand and said, "Good Yan'er, the sacrifice you made for Yu'er , I can see it! Don't worry, within three days, I will definitely ask Yu'er to get rid of that bitch! At that time, let's choose another auspicious day and marry you in with the highest royal ceremony .”

"Everything is up to the empress." Murong Yan lowered her head and said shyly.

Concubine Rong glanced at her with a gratified expression in her eyes.

"But brother is so smart, I guess, he will guess something." After a while, Murong Yan suddenly raised her head and said worriedly.

Concubine Rong smiled when she heard the words, stretched out her hand to pat her hand, and said with a smile: "That's your elder brother, of course I wish you well, he is from our side, what are you worried about?"

When Murong Yan heard this, she immediately fell silent.

Concubine Rong reached out to touch her head, and stood up: "You stay here and watch Yu'er carefully, Bengong go out and have a look."

"Your Majesty..." Murong Yan called out in a low voice, with a hesitant look on her face, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Concubine Rong understood what she was thinking, she smiled a little, and said: "I understand what you are thinking, don't worry, I won't do anything to the princess, just go and see."

"Even though the Crown Princess didn't detoxify and cure the Prince's brother, in the final analysis, she was just admiring the Prince's brother. As a woman, Yan'er understands her thoughts, and I hope your mother will not be too harsh on her. " Murong Yan bit her lip and said.

Concubine Rong Gui did not expect that she would intercede for Ye Zhaoqing, but she soon felt relieved.

Yan'er has always been a good girl with a kind heart, and she doesn't want to see others suffer, so it is also out of character to beg for mercy at this time.

It's just that it set off Ye Zhaoqing's unbearable behavior even more.

"Okay, I understand." Concubine Rong nodded with a smile, then went out holding the maid's hand.

Murong Yan looked at her leaving back, her lips slowly curled up, forming a heart-warming smile.

……

"Returning to your mother, after the princess was locked up, she never made a fuss, she just stayed quietly in the side hall, she ate whatever was offered, and drank whatever was offered." Zhao'er reported in a low voice.

Concubine Rong immediately sneered when she heard this: "Her heart is really generous! Yu'er is not yet sober, but she is living a comfortable life by herself!"

Zhao'er lowered her head and dared not answer.

Concubine Rong was sullen for a while, raised her eyes to look at her, and snorted coldly: "Order, from now on, all the meals and drinks provided to the crown princess will be withdrawn. During the period when the crown prince wakes up, the crown princess must Abstain from food and pray for him!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Zhao'er widened her eyes in surprise after hearing this, she really never imagined that Concubine Rong Gui could give such an order.

No matter what, it's the princess!

"Just listen to my orders!" Concubine Rong said coldly.

Seeing her cold expression, Zhao'er couldn't help but shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head and respectfully replied: "Yes, empress, the servant obeys the order."

"Back off!" Concubine Rong waved her hand impatiently, and then put her hand on her forehead.

It is not an easy task to divorce the princess!

At least it is much more difficult than before to marry this woman!

When Ye Zhaoqing got that Concubine Rong Gui didn't allow him to eat, he acted very calmly.

"Retire! I don't need anyone to serve me here."

"Yes, Crown Princess." Seeing that she was not angry, all the palace people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and filed out one by one.

When there was no more movement outside, Ye Zhaoqing bent down and opened the hidden compartment under the coffee table.

There was half a roast chicken and half a jug of wine in it.

Concubine Rong made this move, she had expected it a long time ago.

Tearing the delicious chicken leg with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth, Ye Zhaoqing sighed deeply in his heart.

How can you have the strength to persevere if you are not full?
As for Li Yu, she was not worried at all.

She has almost detoxified the deadly poison, and next, as long as no major accidents happen, Li Yu will be fine.

With Concubine Rong present, such a thing is absolutely impossible.

However, there is Murong Yan, this little girl, who would be so ruthless...

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoqing sighed again.

She really missed it.

He thought that with brothers like Murong Jin and Murong Shen, Miss Murong Yan would be kind-hearted, but in fact, this little girl has nothing in common with her two brothers.

"The nine sons of the dragon are all different!" Ye Zhaoqing muttered, then tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

……

When Murong Shen left the palace, he immediately felt someone following him from behind.

But soon he realized that that person was just an ordinary person with no inner strength, and he was not here to assassinate him.

Who would that be?
Murong Shen frowned, and when walking towards the carriage, he deliberately slowed down.

But it is a pity that the person hiding in the dark did not come out.

Murong Shen frowned immediately, and the next moment, he got into the carriage and told the driver to drive quickly.

Soon, the person hiding in the dark was left far behind.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Murong Shen frowned tightly again.

Who is following him?
"My lord, do you want to get off the carriage?" But at this moment, a servant asked respectfully.

Murong Shen hesitated for a moment, but decided to get out of the car.

No matter who the person who was secretly following him was, there was no reason for him to take the initiative to find him.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, Murong Shen saw his second brother Murong Jin,

"Brother! Didn't you see my little sister when you went to the palace?"

Murong Shen shook his head and said: "She is with Concubine Rong Gui, she doesn't want to see me."

"What?" Murong Jin was taken aback when she heard the words, she glanced at Murong Shen in shock and said, "Brother, I didn't expect my little sister to not even give you face now..."

"It's not your fault!" Murong Shen said coldly, and strode past Murong Jin into the mansion.

When Murong Jin heard the words, a look of shame suddenly appeared on his face, he stared blankly at his elder brother, and then walked out of the house dejectedly.

At the door, a servant had already prepared a carriage and waited there. Seeing him coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Second Young Master, get in the carriage!"

Murong Jin shook his head, put his hands behind his back and said: "Okay, let's do your work! I'm not going anywhere, just walking casually." After saying that, he passed him and walked out swaggeringly.

Are the sons and brothers of wealthy families all so volatile?

The servant rubbed his head, looking at Murong Jin's back, quite puzzled.

"Young master!" Murong Jin, who was walking, had just rounded the street in front of Murong Mansion when he heard a small call.

He stopped in surprise, and then saw a small figure rushing towards him.

"Who are you, you!" Murong Jin was taken aback, and subconsciously took a big step back, causing the woman who was rushing over to miss her.

"Young Master Murong! It's a servant girl! The servant girl is Liu'er? Have you forgotten?" The woman didn't catch anyone, and then stood there and shouted aggrieved.

Murong Jin took a closer look and realized that the woman standing in front of him was indeed Liu'er.

"Liu'er? Why are you here?" Murong Jin asked in surprise.

"Second Young Master, hurry up and take me to see Grand Tutor! I have something very important to tell him!" Liu'er looked at Murong Jin and pleaded.

Murong Jin was startled by her appearance. He looked Liu'er up and down several times suspiciously, and said, "Tell me why you are here first, and then I will consider whether to bring you to see me or not." Big Brother." Then he paused and said, "Also, is this what the Crown Princess means?"

When he asked this sentence, he had a very strange expression on his face.

"It's not my lady's order to see Mrs. Tai Tuo." Liu'er shook her head when she heard this, and said, "However, she ordered this servant to leave the palace."

"This is strange." After hearing this, Murong Jin looked Liu'er up and down a few times, and said suspiciously: "Why did the Crown Princess let you out of the palace? And why did you change her name to Miss?" ?”

"Second Young Master, it's too late!" Liu'er shook her head after hearing this, and said, "You take your servants to see the Grand Tutor, when the time comes, you can just say no to your servants together? Why waste time?"

"It's true." Murong Jin nodded, and then said: "You follow me."

Liu'er raised her eyes, but saw Murong Jin turning around and striding towards Duke Ding's mansion, she hurriedly followed.

……

"Is it you who followed me at the gate of the palace just now?"

As soon as Murong Jin brought Liu'er in front of Murong Shen, he said this.

When Murong Jin heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, didn't she?Did this girl follow his elder brother all the way back?

Then why did you bump into yourself?

Before he could figure it out, Liu'er had already knelt down with a plop, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Please, Mr. Taifu, save my young lady!"

"You mean the Crown Princess?" Murong Shen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"It will be gone soon." Liu'er heard the words, and said sadly: "When I was in Yongchun Palace, I heard rumors that Concubine Rong Gui was already thinking of abolishing my young lady's position as Crown Princess."

Murong Shen didn't mind hearing this, Murong Jin first exclaimed again and again: "Impossible! Your Highness spent so much effort to marry your young lady, how could he just watch Concubine Rong do this?"

"I don't believe it either." Liu'er shook her head immediately when she heard this, and said, "But now, His Highness the Crown Prince has passed out from a coma and has not yet woken up. My young lady has been placed under house arrest by Concubine Rong Gui, and Miss Murong is in the palace again. What will happen next, no one can predict."

"Mother, the crown prince passed out?" Murong Jin was taken aback when he heard this: "Didn't the poisonous crown princess on him think of a way to get rid of it last night? How could it be..."

Murong Shen turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "Although the poison has been cured, His Highness is weak, no matter what kind of stimulation he receives, it is possible to make him pass out."

"In that case, the fact that Concubine Rong Gui wants to divorce the Crown Princess has stimulated him." Murong Jin's face suddenly showed a trace of strong anger when he heard this, and he slammed his fist on the table next to him. : "Damn it!"

The case fell apart almost immediately, which shows how angry Murong Jin is at this moment.

In contrast, Murong Shen seemed much calmer.

"No wonder I didn't see the Crown Prince at all when I went to the Eastern Palace. It seems that no one can see him until the Crown Princess is divorced." He said with a deep sigh.

Murong Jin has been inseparable from Li Yu all these years. Whether it's fighting or stealing, they do everything together. Decades of friendship let him know that losing what is the most painful thing for Li Yu. After hearing this, he immediately felt sorry for Li Yu. Murong Jin begged: "Brother! Your Highness, he can't lose the Crown Princess! Please, please think of a way!"

"What can I think of?" After hearing this, Murong Shen raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Are you confused? The person who wants to divorce Ye Zhaoqing now is Concubine Rong! That is the prince's mother concubine! I am What, I'm just the prince's honorary master, but I'm nothing but an outsider, what right do I have to intervene in this matter?"

When Murong Jin heard this, a look of despair suddenly appeared on his face: "Is there really no room for turning around this matter?"

"Yes, if you can bring the little girl back from the East Palace, there may be a turning point for this matter." Murong Shen said calmly.

After hearing this, Murong Jin couldn't help being taken aback.

"Why, what's the matter?" Murong Shen said with a sideways glance at him.

"Brother, little sister, she just loves the prince, and she did nothing wrong..." Murong Jin cautiously opened her mouth to find an excuse for Murong Yan.

Murong Shen immediately sneered when he heard the words: "Do you dare to say that Rong Guifei divorced the Crown Princess because of Yan'er? Then what is she doing in the East Palace right now? Looking after His Highness the Crown Prince? How ridiculous!"

Murong Jin had no way to refute this.

"By the way, I heard that my younger sister brought Imperial Doctor Zheng into the palace, do you know about this?" Murong Shen asked suddenly.

Murong Jin quickly shook her head: "Brother, I don't know about this matter."

"No wonder." Murong Shen immediately stood up from the chair when he heard the words: "You don't know anything, what can you do to save the prince? It's better not to talk big."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu'er hurriedly rushed over: "Master Taifu, please save my young lady!"

Hearing this, Murong Shen stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and glanced at Liu'er, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Murong Jin on the side was stunned, he was merciless when he rejected him just now, why did he hesitate when facing Liu'er, a girl?

Could it be that he really treats Ye Zhaoqing...

Murong Jin shook her head, preventing herself from thinking about it.

"Your lady, she is not in any danger for the time being." Seeing Liu'er crying with rain, Murong thought about it carefully, and then said: "If Concubine Rong wants to divorce her, she will do so in public, and it is absolutely impossible to do it secretly. Killing people, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at the palace!"

"The real difficulty is in the future..." Murong Shen said, looked down at Liu'er, and said: "Without the title of Crown Princess, your young lady will have a very difficult life."

"My lady is not afraid! She didn't care about the princess!" Hearing this, Liu'er suddenly wiped away her tears, then stood up from the ground: "If it wasn't for detoxifying the prince, she wouldn't have entered the palace. What! So good!"

Her sudden change startled Murong Jin, and she couldn't help saying: "You girl, why did you change back and forth?"

"My servant was only worried about my young lady's life before, but since the lord Tai Tuo said that she will be fine, then this servant can rest assured." Liu'er said, she glanced at Murong Shen gratefully and said: "My servant knows that my family If Miss is in danger, Lord Tai Tu will not ignore it!"

As he said that, there was a sense of relief on his face.

After hearing this, Murong Shen did not refute.

After hearing this, Murong Jin always felt that it was weird, but he couldn't figure out what was weird.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Murong Shen asked, with a gentleness in his voice that he could hardly detect.

After hearing this, Liu'er reached out to wipe the tears on her face again, and said: "When I left the palace, my young lady told me to ask the servant to find a place to stay obediently, and then she will come to find the servant. "

"Did she also say that she will be fine?" Murong Shen asked.

"How could Master Taifu know?" Liu'er was a little surprised when she heard this, "My lady did say that!"

"I guessed it." Murong Shen said with a slight smile when he heard the words.

Liu'er was instantly shocked by this smile, and took a step back in disbelief!
In fact, not only her, but even Murong Jin was shocked.

His elder brother, the glacier face who never smiled for thousands of years, actually smiled!
God!What are these things?
When sending Liu'er out, Murong Jin kept thinking in his heart.

He obeyed Murong Shen's order and bought a small courtyard in a remote alley in central Beijing for Liu'er to live in.

If Ye Zhaoqing did not come back after all, then Liu'er would also have a place to live.

Murong Jin knew what his elder brother meant, so when he was doing everything, he was not a little surprised.

After Liu'er settled down, he returned to the Hou Mansion, only to find that Murong Shen was already waiting for him.

"Brother, what are we going to do next?"

After hearing this, Murong Shen raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, can you promise me one thing?"

"Brother, tell me! As long as my younger brother can do it, I will definitely do it!" Murong Jin patted his chest and promised.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's about Liu Er. You have to keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone, especially the younger sister." Murong Shen's expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Murong Jin closely, and said word by word: "I don't know if the second brother can do it?"

Murong Jin was taken aback by his serious attitude. In view of Murong Shen's "pretentious power" over the past ten years, he nodded and agreed without thinking: "Okay! I promise!"

It wasn't until he finished speaking that he realized what had happened.

"Brother, it's fine if you don't tell others. Why can't you even tell Yan'er? She is the younger sister of our mother, and she is not someone else!" Murong Jin said with a full face of grievance.

Murong Shen glanced at him when he heard the words, and said in a calm tone: "Actually, I met Liu'er once in the palace today."

"Brother has seen Liu'er?" Murong Jin was surprised again.

"Yes." Murong Shen nodded and said: "At that time she was desperate to leave the palace, but she ran into Concubine Liu, and I saved her."

"So that's it!" Murong Jin nodded immediately upon hearing the words, and then said: "Then elder brother concluded that someone was going to harm Liu'er based on everything just now."

"That's right, that person is very likely Concubine Rong." Murong Shen nodded and said, "Since she wants to take the crown princess under the knife, how could she let Liu Er who is beside the crown princess go?" He said with a serious expression. Glancing at Murong Jin, he said, "You know how good the relationship between my little sister and Concubine Rong is now. In this situation, if she knew where Liu'er was, would she not tell Concubine Rong?"

Murong Jin fell silent immediately upon hearing the words, her face was very ugly.

Because he also felt that what Murong Shen said was good!

"On the day of Guining, I felt that Yan'er had an inexplicable hostility towards the Crown Princess." Murong Shen said in a deep voice, "The rockery in our family has not collapsed for decades, why did the Crown Princess collapse when she climbed it? It became like that? Someone must have tampered with it in advance!"

"Brother suspects that Yan'er did it?" Murong Jin immediately shook her head when she heard the words, and said, "No, I don't want to believe it! Such a cute little girl in our family has always been kind-hearted, how could she do such a cruel thing?" matter?"

"But she likes Li Yu!" Murong Shen glanced at him and said, "But Li Yu likes other women, do you know how jealous a woman is? Have you forgotten the example of Sanniang?" ?”

Hearing this, Murong Jin trembled all over, and could not say a word anymore.

Sanniang, this name is a taboo in Murong Mansion, a name that cannot be said.

"Okay! Brother, if you can produce evidence, I will believe it. Otherwise, I still believe Yan'er!" Murong Jin said, turned around and strode out.

"What are you going to do?" Murong Shen asked; "Don't forget what you promised me!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell about Liu'er." Murong Jin glanced back at him, and said: "The Crown Princess is a hero among women, and has saved His Highness the Crown Prince several times. I am willing to do this for her. "

With that said, he strode out.

……

"My lord, where are you going?"

Ming Xiang, the servant next to Murong Shen, asked in a low voice, in Duke Dingguo's mansion, everyone from top to bottom called Murong Shen the crown prince, not the grand master, even though both of them were his identities.

"The rockery where the princess fell that day." Murong Shen said briefly, and quickened his pace.

What are you doing there?After the princess fell that day, basically the entire rockery was destroyed. Even if it was repaired later, no one in the Hou Mansion was willing to go there. Now that place has almost become the entire Dingguo Mansion. Forbidden place, what is Shi Zi doing there?
There were countless question marks in Ming Xiang's heart, but before he could ask anything, Murong Shen had already walked away.

"My lord! Wait for me!" Ming Xiang raised her robe and chased after him in an extremely indecent posture.

From far away, the rockery in the garden appeared in sight. If you want to blame, you can only blame the whole mansion for being too big. When Ming Xiang caught up with Murong Shen panting, she saw him standing Looking at the top of the rockery from the bottom of the rockery, he was slightly lost in thought.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Ming Xiang stopped and asked while panting.

Smelling the strong aroma of crabapple flowers at the tip of her nose, Ming Xiang involuntarily turned her head and glanced at the crabapple flower forest behind her, with a regretful expression in her eyes.

In previous years, when this piece of crabapple flowers were in full bloom, not only people from the mansion often came here to play, but even many wives and ladies from famous families came here to enjoy the flowers in the mansion. It was very lively.

But this year, the incident of the crown princess falling into the rockery happened, not to mention outsiders here, even people from the house rarely come here, it can be called a rare crowd.

They are all princesses, ruining this treasured land of geomantic omen!
Murong Shen acted as if he didn't hear his question at all, he didn't even blink his eyes, and kept staring at the rockery.

Ming Xiang had no choice but to shut up.

Time passed bit by bit, just when Ming Xiang thought his family's grandson was about to turn into a rock, Murong Shen suddenly said, "Before the Crown Princess returned to Ning, how is this rockery different from the usual one?"

Ming Xiang was taken aback, and excitedly said: "Master, so you are not asleep? Ming Xiang is about to fall asleep..."

Murong Shen's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you something! Think about it!"

"Yes! Master Shizi." Ming Xiang was full of cleverness, Dang even stood up straight, frowning and racking her brains to recall.

Murong Shen looked at him quietly, without disturbing him.

"It's no different? After the crabapple flowers bloom, people come here to enjoy the flowers every day, just like in previous years..." Ming Xiang frowned.

Murong Shen glanced at him and said, "Think again."

Ming Xiang saw that he was unwilling to give up, so she had to lower her head to think about it again. After a while, he was still full of bewilderment: "My lord, I really can't think of any difference. I only know, Miss My wife and I have often come here to enjoy flowers recently, until the incident with the princess..."

"You said, little sister, she often comes here?" Murong Shen immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Then the day before the Crown Princess returned to Ning, did she come here?"

Seeing his serious look, Ming Xiang couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Shi, Shizi, you shouldn't be suspicious, miss?"

"Why do you ask so many questions! Quickly think about it!" Murong Shen frowned and said, "I'm often away from the residence during this time, so I don't know anything about it. If not, I wouldn't have asked you!"

Ming Xiang lowered her head when she was told.

Murong Shen sighed.

"My lord! This servant remembered!" Ming Xiang suddenly raised her head excitedly, looked at Murong Shen with piercing eyes and said, "The day before the Crown Princess returned to Ning, Miss stayed in her yard all the time, you know, my lord, The crown prince married another woman to be the crown princess, our lady is very disappointed..."

"Get to the point!" Murong Shen frowned again.

"Yes! Master!" Ming Xiang nodded, and immediately replied: "The day before Guining, Miss didn't go to see Begonia Flowers, but Yuqin, the girl next to Miss, went..."

"It's Yuqin, you read that right?" Murong Shen asked.

Ming Xiang hurriedly nodded frantically: "My lord, how could this servant be mistaken? When Yuqin went, she was still holding something in her hand. She was sneaking around. The servant thought she was hiding something and followed behind quietly. I went to see it!"

"What is she hiding?" Murong Shen's heart trembled when he heard this.

Ming Xiang touched her head when she heard the words, shook her head and said, "My lord, this slave doesn't know..."

"What else do you think you can do?" Murong Shen frowned and said, "I'm not in the mansion, so I asked you to watch the yard carefully, but you are fine, you have nothing to do all day, I don't know what you are doing. Golden thread grass, and peacock tail, you don't even know how many you lost..."

Having said that, he suddenly paused.

Ming Xiang, however, was so ashamed of what was said that she lowered her head, touched her ears in embarrassment, and said, "My lord, those are poisonous weeds, one can kill you, I really don't know what others are doing stealing them... "

"It's no wonder you can figure it out!" Murong Shen turned his head and glanced at him with disgust, "You only have the role of running errands, go! Bring me Yuqin, remember?" Hold on, don't disturb anyone."

"Yuqin? Master, what do you want to see her for?" Ming Xiang asked curiously upon hearing this.

Murong Shen immediately made a bad face when he heard the words: "Is this something you can ask?"

Ming Xiang immediately lowered her head: "My lord, this servant is going to find Yuqin."

"Remember, don't alarm anyone!" Murong Shen explained again, his eyes were sharp and heavy.

Ming Xiang nodded like a pest: "Master, don't worry about this, this is what slaves are best at!"

"If you can't resist with your shoulders or lift with your hands, you will be able to do this." Murong Shen said lazily behind him.

After Mingxiang heard this, her feet slipped and she almost staggered.
