Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly said to those people: "What are you doing here?" ”

After saying this, she suddenly thought that it must be Ronglu, the king of Chu, who asked someone to come and get her, and hurriedly said to the people around her: "Go and tell the ancestors." ”

Those mothers-in-law just held the Ji family, and did not interfere with where the people around her went, and after tying up the Ji family, she said: "Princess, I'm sorry, we are just acting on orders." ”

After the man said this, he said to the others, "Go, the prince is still waiting." ”

Zhu saw that several mothers-in-law dragged Ji away, and she panicked for a while, and it took a while to ease up, and the corners of her mouth sneered, and the big stone that was pressing on her head was finally taken away.

The fact that the Ji family was tied up by the prince of Chu soon spread throughout the mansion.

After Rong Qiao heard about it, he hurriedly asked people to ask where Ji was taken.

The person who came back said that Ji was taken to the row room behind the palace by the prince of Chu, and after she heard this, she hurriedly led people to the back row room.

It was originally a place where the steward of the palace taught disobedient minions, and occasionally executed minions who committed major crimes, but I didn't expect my father to bring my mother to such a place.

When Rong Qiao walked near the back room, she heard a scream coming from inside, and she couldn't help but be frightened, and ran in the direction where the sound came from.

Pushing the door open, I saw that the King of Chu was sitting on a chair with an angry face, while her mother Ji was hanging on the beam, and a tall and mighty nurse was standing below with a leather whip in his hand, and was whipping her mother Ji with a whip, and her mother already had several blood-red marks on her body.

Rong Qiao was very afraid to talk to the King of Chu in the past, although she was even more afraid at this time, but she couldn't watch the Ji family suffer and not save her.

Ji saw someone coming. looked down and saw that it was Rong Qiao, and hurriedly shouted: "Qiao'er, save me, your father is going to kill me for that cheap concubine." ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he became more and more annoyed in his heart, and said to Rong Qiao: "There is nothing for you here, go out quickly." Otherwise. Even you will be punished. ”

Rong Qiao knelt down and begged: "Father, please be gracious, my father has lost a concubine, and he can still find ten or eight." But if something really happened to her mother, Qiao Er would no longer have a mother, so she begged her father to be kind and spare her mother. ”

After the King of Chu listened to Rong Qiao's words. His expression seemed to be slightly touched, but then he said sharply: "Do you know that my father is not just a concubine. There is also a younger brother of yours, who is also related to you by flesh and blood, you have such a ruthless mother, it is better not to have it. In the future, my father will find you a virtuous stepmother. ”

Rong Qiao listened to the meaning of the King of Chu's words, and he was determined to beat his mother to death, so he knelt down in front of the King of Chu. hugged his legs and cried: "Father, no matter how good a stepmother is, she is not as good as her biological mother." Didn't my father experience the taste of losing his mother since he was a child? Do you want Jo'er to suffer the same? ”

The king of Chu stopped talking when Rong Qiao said.

Seeing this, Rong Qiao continued: "Father thinks about the current situation in our family, it really shouldn't be an accident, and it is also about my mother, otherwise my brother's face will not look good, and how can he get mixed up in the court." ”

"Come on, put this slut down."

After listening to Rong Qiao's words, the king of Chu suddenly thought of the secret letter sent to him by the prince of Min, and the emperor paid more attention to the palace of Chu during these days, as Rong Qiao said, there should really be no more rumors.

Anyway, time is running out, so why not just endure it for the time being?

"Shut this slut here, and let no one come near, and if she is still alive after ten days, then she should not be killed, and the king will not pursue it again, and if anyone dares to bring in a grain of rice to this slut behind his back, he will be killed together." A few of you take turns to show the king. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Several people responded in unison.

After the king of Chu said this, he left in a bad mood.

Ji Shi cried and said to Rong Qiao: "Tell the ancestor what happened here, she once promised to save her mother, if you go to save her again, she will definitely not stand idly by." Don't say ten days, even if it's a day, my mother can't bear it. ”

After Rong Qiao listened to Ji's words, he bit the guilty minister and said: "Mother knows why bother today, even if that slut gives birth to a son, what if you are the princess of Chu who is personally crowned by the emperor, can she still do anything to you?" Mother really can't think about what to do to harm her, not to mention that she is still pregnant with her father's child, how can her father bear this breath. Bear with me now, and I'll figure it out. ”

Ji pinned all his hopes on Rong Qiao's body, and watched Rong Qiao take people away, then he hugged his shoulders with both hands, and suddenly there was a sharp pain on his body, and he couldn't help but hate it even more in his heart.

After Rong Qiao came out of the back room, she planned to go to the courtyard of the old princess of Chu, but she never did anything in the past, but she didn't know when to go to the courtyard with the Ji family, and now she has the face to ask her old man for help.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to Liu Ke first.

At this time, Rong Yi was feeding Liu Ke a spoonful of tocolytic medicine.

"It's too painful to drink medicine like this, so I'd better drink it myself." Liu Ke had a pained expression on his face with every spoonful he drank.

Rong Yi sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Good medicine is good for disease." ”

Liu Ke heard this and argued: "I'm not sick. ”

"The prince of Qi, the princess of the world, the county lord is visiting!" Yuye knocked softly outside the door.

After listening to the report outside, Rong Yi whispered to Liu Ke: "Presumably it is for that incident, you can respond if you want, anyway, the guilt of the King of Chu this time is inevitable." ”

Seeing Rong Yi's smug expression, Liu Ke couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this a ghost you are doing?" ”

Rong Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I don't care to do such a thing, it's the King of Chu himself who is lustful." ”

After he said this, he scooped another spoonful and sent it to Liu Ke's mouth. He turned back to the door and said, "Let the county lord wait for a while, the princess is drinking medicine." ”

Yuye had no choice but to say this and transfer it to Rong Qiao.

Now that Ji is locked in the back room, there will be no danger for a while, and Rong Qiao is not in a hurry, so he waits quietly in the courtyard.

After a while, I saw Rong Yi walking out of the room.

Rong Qiao bent his knees unnaturally on his face, and said in a low voice: "I've seen the prince." ”

Rong Yi coughed lightly, "um" and said, "The princess has not been in good health recently, don't talk too much to her." ”

"Okay." When Rong Qiao heard this, the expression on his face moved slightly.

Rong Yi didn't speak anymore and left directly.

Rong Qiao sighed deeply and walked inside.

At this time, Liu Ke had already ordered someone to open the door to greet her, she also got up from the bed and went outside, saw Rong Qiao walking in, and said with a smile: "The county lord is a rare guest, is there something wrong?" Yuye served tea to the county lord. ”

Liu Ke greeted with a smile, Rong Qiao had been thinking about Ji's affairs in his heart, but he had no intention of coping with it, so he walked up to Liu Ke and said, "Sister-in-law, I came here to ask my sister-in-law to go with me to the old princess, I don't know if it is convenient for sister-in-law." ”

Liu Ke was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked: "It's convenient, it's naturally convenient, but I don't know what the county lord will do to the old princess, and when we arrive, I'll help you, otherwise, after I arrive, what words will I use to talk." ”

After Rong Qiao heard this, he talked about the matter between the king of Chu and the princess of Chu in general.

Liu Ke was surprised, and said for a long time: "There was a death in the house!" ”

"There has been a lot of trouble about this matter, hasn't my sister-in-law heard about it at all?" Rong Qiao saw that the look of surprise on Liu Ke's face didn't look like he was pretending, and couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ke came back to his senses and said: "I am not feeling well today, I haven't gone out, and the girls in the courtyard are also busy serving me with medicine, so I didn't hear a sound at all. ”

"There has been a quarrel outside for this matter, my father will definitely not spare my mother this time, this is a corpse with two lives, and anyone will feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but I can't help but save my mother." After Rong Qiao said this, his eyes turned red again.

Liu Ke didn't make any comments on this matter, but said: "The county lord wants me to accompany you to invite the ancestor to come forward and let the prince let the princess go, does that mean?" ”

Rong Qiao nodded.

"Then let's go quickly, if it's too late, it's time for the ancestors' dinner." After Liu Ke said this, he instructed the girl to freshen up and change her clothes.

"Princess, but your body—" Yu Ye said with embarrassment.

At this time, Rong Qiao remembered that Liu Ke had said that he was unwell today, and said busily: "Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well, we can go again tomorrow, anyway, there will be no major events a day later." ”

When Liu Ke heard Rong Qiao say the last sentence, his voice was almost inaudible, and he said: "My body is nothing, it's all the fuss of the prince, let's go one day late, the princess will have to suffer one more day inside, it's better to go as soon as possible." ”

Rong Qiao's eyes were red, and he said sincerely: "Thank you sister-in-law, I know that sister-in-law is not as cunning as they say." ”

After she said this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her words, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

Liu Ke smiled, but he didn't hear it.

After changing his clothes, Liu Ke took only the jade leaves and walked towards the courtyard of the old princess of Chu with Rong Qiao.

When she arrived at the old princess, Rong Qiao looked embarrassed, and she didn't know how to speak.

As soon as the old princess Chu saw the two of them, she knew why they came, but since Rong Qiao didn't say it, she didn't mention it, but said: "You guys came just in time, I have already stewed suckling sheep in the small kitchen, let's stay and eat together for a while." ”

Liu Ke said with a smile: "Ancestor, do you know that your granddaughter-in-law is here to give you good news, so she made a suckling sheep and waited for me." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the old princess couldn't help but smile on her face, and said, "Don't put gold on your face, how do I know that you are coming-"

Before she could finish her words, she heard someone outside shouting, "Ancestor, something is wrong-" (to be continued)
