Chapter 128: It's Not What It Used To Be—It's Sad
Ji Xue'er was holding the child in her arms at this time, and she was on guard against everything in front of her, even her biological father didn't dare to let go easily. This situation was beyond Ji Qian's expectations, but the person was already in his own hands, and the future ambition was just around the corner, so that he would no longer ask questions, and he comforted him softly, and instructed his subordinates to leave after serving him.
When King Rui returned to the mansion, it happened that the maid took a few small county lords to catch butterflies in the courtyard, and three or four small people were as cute as flowers and bones, and they couldn't help but stop and watch, and couldn't bear to leave.
One of them, the six or seven-year-old lord of Qin, turned around and saw his father standing not far away, although the little girl did not often see her father, but she liked it very much, and she wanted to get close and was a little cowardly, so she stood there and hesitated, so she was entangled.
King Rui looked at the appearance of his daughter, felt pity, and beckoned her to pass. The little girl ran over happily, after all, there was nothing more to do, and she stretched out her hand to ask her father to hug her. King Rui hugged the lord of Qin, "Why can't Qin'er come here, are you still afraid that your father will not?"
"My mother said that my father still wants a son the most, because every man is like this, so let me not bother you, and when Qin'er has a younger brother in the future, my father will be happier." The little girl is innocent, and she talks about her mother's daily words.
King Rui's heart tightened, and he reluctantly teased a few children for a while and then silently returned to the study.
"Lord Wang, the subordinates have found out that the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was pregnant with the blood of the prince and was not killed, but fled to a mountain forest, which is not very far from the capital, according to the description of the surrounding mountain people, it seems to see her holding a baby." A guard who had been tracking down the cause of Ji Xue'er's death came in to report.
King Rui's spirits were lifted, after many days, he had gradually forgotten about Xue'er, and now that there was news of her suddenly, he was very happy, "Are you sure that Miss Fourth is holding a baby in her arms?" Do you know who is chasing her?"
"This, the subordinates are not sure, it is better to wait until the fourth lady herself is found. Now that he has a baby, it is a lot more difficult for the mother and son to escape the vendetta, and it is difficult to say whether they are still alive now. The guard said his inner guess, but the atmosphere of this high and low atmosphere made Rui Wang very uncomfortable.
"Send more people, and at all costs it is inevitable to take Miss Fourth and the child back to the house together, remember, this matter is still in secret, and no one else should know about it."
The guards retreated, and King Rui rummaged through a pile of documents on the case but didn't read any of them, and now everything made him feel so uneasy, but if he had a clue but no clues, he felt a huge net cover himself out of thin air, and the ropes on the net tightened more and more, until he couldn't breathe.
Ji Ran was supported by Hongyu and waited outside the study, she was already dead to King Rui, but her mother had no choice but to cry to herself again and again, and now the life of the Prime Minister's Mansion is sad day by day, and she has to be hard-hearted and have to climb up.
"Miss, the day is a little big today, and your body is not very good, it is better to come back another day, and there is no hurry overnight." Hongyu watched the large beads of sweat on the young lady's forehead slide down, and couldn't help but feel distressed and dissuaded.
"No need, I have one more chance a day to come, even if the prince can look at me more, it is also a grace, and now I have no qualifications for this broken body." Ji Ran looked at the direction of the study with one eye blankly, and the other eye socket with a prosthetic eye was like a flaw on the pearl, although it could not completely cover her stunning appearance, but for people with a perfect pursuit of heart, they could only sigh in vain and the fly in the ointment. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the study, Ji Ran was no longer able to support it, her face was crimson, and she even looked a little short of breath.
"Miss, I pity some slaves and maids, if you faint here, how can the slaves and maids explain to the prince, and then make the slaves and maids guilty of poor service, and the slaves and maids are not afraid of punishment, but who will serve you?" Ruby was so anxious that she almost cried.
Ji Ran had no choice but to turn around and go back by Hongyu, the master and servant walked very slowly, Ji Ran was already completely hung on Hongyu, poor Hongyu was just a petite woman, she could only barely support, the two of them were like a dead leaf in the wind, and they would fall when the wind blew.
"Hey, isn't this the princess of our Rui Palace, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? was so brilliant and beautiful at the beginning, how did she suddenly change her style and become a sick beauty. Didn't you figure out the prince's thoughts, knowing that the prince is not a high-flying and domineering daughter, but likes to be gentle and virtuous?"
"Orb, don't talk nonsense! My sister was not well disciplined, offended my sister, and asked my sister to be a big man, not to be like a little girl. Concubine Mei was dressed in a rose-red dress, with irregular white at the hem of the skirt, and with the swing of her body, it seemed to be rippling red waves, which made the already stunning Concubine Mei even more elegant.
Hongyu was already so angry that she clenched her fingers, and if she hadn't been holding the young lady, she would have come up and slap the two of them a few times, but at this moment, she had to swallow her anger, and a pair of handsome eyes glared at the jewel fiercely.
Concubine Mei looked at Ji Ran, who was dying, and sighed: "My sister's eyes are the most charming on this face, but now they are not as bright as your maid's eyes, which is really sad and lamentable!"
When Hongyu heard what Concubine Mei said, she was already so frightened that her heart fluttered and fluttered wildly, and she broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. With her understanding of Miss, Concubine Mei's body trembled significantly after Concubine Mei said that, and even a fool could guess the meaning of this.
However, Concubine Mei looked at the two of them in front of her coldly, and sneered in her heart, "The prince also called my sister and me to the study to meet me, I don't know what happened, I am afraid that I am in a hurry at this time, my sister will not accompany my sister to chat here, he will come to the door to make amends." With that, he was helped by the jewel and left.
"Niangniang really has this compassionate bodhisattva heart, but you pity others, people may not appreciate it, and then the prince will say that you are going slowly, why bother with that leisure." In the distance, there was a whining sound of the orb intentionally or unintentionally, and the red jade was so hated that it wanted to crack, but it was lawless.
"My good daughter, you still understand your mother's intentions, and your mother is all for your good. Now that your brother is making more and more nonsense, he dares to steal things from the house and buy and sell them privately, but I hate that your father does not pity his only son, and only thinks of punishment. The Liu family babbled about the unhappiness in his heart, but he didn't see that Ji Ran had not listened to it at all.
