The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

"If you are one of those people..." Hearing this, the expression on Xue Ni's face gradually became dark, and her laughter also began to grow low.

Feeling an inexplicable chill on her body, Lorraine shivered.

"If you are one of those people, I think I should arrest you. At that time, it will not be me staying by your side, but you staying by my side."

While talking, Xue Ni began to laugh softly to himself.

"Xue Ni?" Lorraine tried to call Xue Ni.I was a little unsure whether this was what Xueni wanted to say, or whether she had inadvertently exposed her inner thoughts.

"Ah...ah?" Xue Ni came back to her senses, then looked at Lorraine with a normal smile.

"You just..."

"What happened just now?"

Seeing that Xue Ni had returned to normal, Lorraine could only say, "It's nothing, I just thought you were a little strange just now."

If it was before, Lorraine might have taken Xue Ni's words as a joke.

But after experiencing these things a few times, especially that time when Xueni forcefully stuffed himself with medicine and then took him to the hut in the woods, Lorraine felt that now Xueni seemed to be able to really do such a thing.

Even if Lorraine has the status of the Second Highness, Xue Ni can do that. If it is a simple commoner, it will be even more difficult to say.

Chapter 18

help

Originally, Lorraine wanted to take Xueni for a walk on the street again, but found that Xueni was already tired, and after a while, his head kept lighting like a chicken pecking at rice.

It seems that the body has not fully recovered.

Lorraine stretched out her hand to support Xueni, so that she would not accidentally fall on the table.

Since coming back that night, Xueni has been resting in bed. In everyone's eyes, she has recovered very well.

But whether it is mental or physical exhaustion, it still exists more or less.

Lorraine looked at the gradually sinking sky outside, and then asked Xueni in a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"

"Ah...ah...?" Hearing Lorraine's voice, Xue Ni cheered up a little, "It seems a little bit."

But the spirit that just got up, after speaking, began to dissipate slowly with drooping eyelids, only relying on Xue Ni's strong support, the eyes were not completely closed.

"Isn't this a bit bad for you?" Just saying these few words, Xueni's whole body was completely leaning on Lorraine's body.

"Hey." Xue Ni half-closed her eyes and smiled.

"Then let's go back."

Lorraine wanted to help Xueni up, but found that Xueni was limp and without any strength.

"Are you all stuck like this?"

Lorraine smiled helplessly. Although it was not far from Gretel's house, they came out on foot without a carriage. It was still a bit difficult for Xue Ni to walk back like this.

"You stand still first." Lorraine squatted down and said to Xueni, "Come up, I will carry you back."

Xue Ni, who was standing there wobbly, paused for a moment, then stepped forward, and slowly bent down on Lorraine's back.

Lorraine looked at Xueni, who was leaning on her shoulder, and found that she was grinning, as if she was having a sweet dream.

"You're not pretending to sleep, are you?"

But Xue Ni didn't answer this time, just rubbed Lorraine's shoulder, and didn't stop until he found a comfortable position.

Xueni is not very heavy, and even feels a little light to Lorraine, but on the way back, Xueni's slight panting while sleeping hit Lorraine's cheek, which made him feel a little itchy.

Soon, Lorraine returned to the gate of Gretel's house with Xueni on his back.

The maid outside the door saw Lorraine and Xueni, and was about to come up to help Lorraine, but Lorraine shook her head and refused, and made a shush gesture to them.

Although the journey was not long, Xue Ni did not sleep very peacefully on her back, and from time to time she would murmur something in her sleep that even Lorraine could not hear clearly.

Lorraine was afraid that if she moved too much, she would wake up.

Seeing this, the maids stopped walking and waited until Lorraine walked past before slowly following behind.

After finally getting to Xueni's room, Lorraine just put Xueni on the bed, and just remembered that she was about to get up, but Xueni subconsciously grabbed her wrist.

Seeing that Xueni was already sound asleep, Lorraine leaned over to Xueni's ear and said softly, "If you sleep well, you can see me again tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Lorraine carefully released Xue Ni's hand, and then helped her cover the quilt.

The maids who were watching Lorraine perform this series of actions had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Although the relationship between the two was not simple, this was too close.

Seeing the expressions of the maids, Lorraine realized that he seemed to have gone too far, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

If Xueni was awake, she might not have the chance to do this, because she would immediately hide under the quilt.

He glanced at Xue Ni's sleeping appearance again, and then Lorraine exited the room.

Lorraine walked towards the living room and found that the other nobles had left, leaving only Naba sitting there alone.

"Second Highness, you are back." Naba said, looking at Lorraine.

He had already heard from the maid that Lorraine took Xueni out.

"It's really troublesome for you to take care of Xueni."

Seeing Naba's sad face, Lorraine asked, "Is your conversation not going well?"

"I don't know how to say it." Naba smiled wryly.

Among the ideas of these nobles, the idea of ​​letting Lorraine replace Romon is still considered unified, while the others cannot be discussed at all.

Some nobles have already planned to leave the capital. After all, their respective interests have been weakened a lot this time. If Romon really inherits the throne, what will happen to them is unknown.

"I'm curious." Lorraine sat down next to him, and continued, "Are you doing it for the so-called interests like other nobles, or do you have other plans."

In any case, it was a bit too strange for those nobles to gather at Gretel's house all of a sudden today. Those who didn't know it thought that Naba was their opinion leader, but in this situation, it is obviously not the case.

Or, it wasn't because they recognized Naba that they gathered here, but because Naba wanted something from them.

"Your Highness..." Naba hesitated.

"You want to rescue Lilaya?"

In addition to Xueni's affairs, Naba also mentioned Liraya, Xueni's brother, in his letter to Lorraine.

Seeing that it was said, Naba no longer concealed it, "Yes, Second Highness, I originally wanted to see if they could help Liraya, but the situation in the capital is unstable now, and they don't want to offend the Aoge family for no reason. .”

What Liraya did was too absurd, plus many nobles only think about themselves now, how could they think of helping him.

"I said before that if something happens to Gretel's family, I will try my best to help you."

In Lorraine's view, no matter what the relationship between Xueni and Gretel's family is, as long as there is no accident in Gretel's family, Xueni can be in a relatively stable environment.

"Second Highness, do you mean you have a solution?" Naba's tone became agitated.

Originally thought that Lorraine's refusal to become the heir to the throne meant that he didn't want to interfere too much with the affairs of the king's capital, so Naba didn't talk about it to Lorraine just now.

"Yes, yes, but the process may be a little different from what you think." Lorraine nodded. It would be better to say that he was already making preparations, but he needed to remind Naba first.

"Really? As long as you can rescue Liraya, I, no, the Gretel family will do my best to help you."

Naba only has two heirs, Liraya and Xueni. If there is no accident, Liraya will be the successor of the family head in the future, so after Liraya's accident, he will be so worried.

"You may not need help for the time being, but I hope that in what happens next, no matter what you hear, please don't do anything impulsive because you are too excited."

"Second Highness, what do you mean?" Naba didn't understand what Lorraine meant, but he had a bad feeling.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Seeing Lorraine's calm look, Naba felt that he had no one else to turn to for help, and he could only trust Lorraine in front of him, and said, "Then please ask the Second Highness."

Chapter 19

The man who disgraced Gretel's family

Leaving Gretel's house, as soon as he got into the carriage, Lorraine noticed a figure in the carriage.

Because of the relatively dim light, he couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly, which made Lorraine vigilant.

"Yo."

Before Lorraine could ask, the voice from the figure made Lorraine heave a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, what happened?" The driver of the carriage felt strange and turned around to ask.

"It's okay, I'm just scared."

"Scared?" The coachman didn't quite understand what Lorraine meant, but no matter what Lorraine said, he had no choice but to drive the carriage back to the mansion.

"You look so scary." Lorraine said, looking at the figure in front of her.

This guy is none other than Zeth who went out for a day today.When I came up just now, the driver didn't remind me, so Lorraine could roughly guess that this guy came up secretly, even the driver didn't notice.

"Really? You're used to it." Zes waved his hand, acting very casually.

He didn't know what the habits of the nobles and Lorraine were like, but he was already used to coming and going silently like this, especially when doing something, if he made too much noise, there would be trouble.

Zeth took out a small bag from his body, threw it to Lorraine, and said, "I managed to find this from the black street."

Opening the bag, there were several small pills inside. Lorraine picked up a small one and looked at it, "Is this thing really powerful?"

"This is poison. If the dose is normal, it can easily poison a person to death." Zeth said with his hands folded on his chest, "I did what you want, and let people control the amount so that people lose consciousness. See It looks like dead, but not completely dead, as long as there is timely rescue, nothing will happen at all."

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is used to do some shady things, and its purpose is to kill people. It is not too difficult to find it in a place like a black street.

But the problem is that what Lorraine wants is not to achieve this goal, but to make people in a state of being poisoned to death for a period of time, so it is necessary to find someone to strictly control the various ingredients of this medicine. That's why it's so hard to find.

"But I still have to remind you that although the poison cannot kill people, the feeling of toxins eroding the body is still very intense. If you can't help it, something may happen."

Because the efficacy of the medicine has been weakened, now this thing doesn't look like it's meant to kill people, but it's a bit like it's used to torture people.

"There should be no problem." Lorraine put the small pill back into the bag.

Although this is the only way I can think of, I am still afraid of making mistakes, because if I do it wrong, something might really happen.

The next day, Lorraine did not go directly to Gretel's house, but came to the place where the prisoners were held in the capital.

"Second Highness, what is this?"

"I want to see the situation of Liraya Gretel." Lorraine looked at the guards who were still in a daze, and asked, "Can't you?"

"Oh, oh, of course." After finishing speaking, the guard opened the door behind him.

After Lorraine walked in, the guard guarding the gate scratched his head in confusion. Except for special circumstances, not to mention the royal family, even nobles rarely come to this kind of place.

The dark and damp atmosphere in the prison reminded Lorraine of the Black Street, and at the same time, there was an unspeakable smell here.

Led by the guard inside, Lorraine came to an iron cage.

After the guard retreated, Lorraine stepped forward. In the corner of the iron cage, a slightly thin figure curled up there.

Although he was wearing noble clothes, he probably hadn't changed them for a while, making them dirty and messy.

There is also the hair stained with dirt or other things, the beard full of stubble, and a decadent look.

Sensing someone coming, the figure slowly turned around, and looked at Lorraine blankly with empty eyes.

If he hadn't met Liraya before, Lorraine would have doubted whether he had found the wrong person.

Looking at Liraya in front of him, Lorraine said, "Long time no see."

The time Lorraine met Liraya was still in the academy, Liraya wanted to take Xueni to apologize to Lil, but at that time she was stopped by herself.

"Lo...Second Highness?" Liraya's voice was extremely hoarse, coupled with the dark environment, it was like a ghost.

Rather, Lorraine really wants to make him a ghost.

"Are you here to laugh at me too?" Liraya showed a bitter look.

"You really should be ridiculed." Lorraine stared at Liraya, "At the beginning you thought that Xueni defeated Lil through despicable means, and wanted to drag her to apologize to Lil. But now you use your own Think of it as a way to bring shame on the family."

If something had happened to Lil at the end, Xueni, who no one believed, might have stayed in this kind of place.

"I...I..." Liraya looked at her hands, and even she felt ridiculous.

Talk about despicable deeds that hate others, but in fact, you are more hated than others.
