Chapter 384: Goodbye Wire Snake
"By the way, fourth brother, why haven't you seen Hongli's nephew all the time, isn't it because you're afraid that we will scare him, so you hide it?" Yinyu's words caused everyone to chuckle, but those who came a little later really haven't seen Hongli since they came in.
"Look at what Lao Jiu said, how can there be such a thing." Yin Zhen replied with a smile, but he also realized that Hongli seemed to have been carried down to breastfeed for a long time, and was about to send someone to take a look, Ling Ruo had already gotten up and said, "Lord, the concubine went to bring Hongli to meet a few uncles." ”
"It's fine." With Yinzhen's promise, Ling Ruo left the hall and went to the ear room next to everyone after giving a shallow salute to everyone, and the nurse hugged her here to feed.
But after Ling Ruo pushed the door in, he didn't see the figure of the nurse, but saw Chen Shu inside, holding the Hongli who was holding his eyes closed, Ling Ruo's heart suddenly tightened, and before she could ask, Chen Shu had already bowed his head and said, "The slave asks the master." ”
"Didn't you stay in Jingsiju, why did you come here? What about the nurse? There was a subtle tremor in Ling Ruo's seemingly calm voice, and after taking Hongli and feeling his still soft body and smooth breathing, he slowly settled down.
"The slave was idle in the Jingsi house, remembering that the master was here, so he came to see if the master had a landlord to send, and he happened to encounter the nurse's internal urgency, so he asked the slave to help hold Brother Li for a while."
Ling Ruo glanced at Chen Shu deeply and said, "Okay, it's none of your business here, let's go down." ”
"Huh!" Chen Shu's eyes flashed, he bowed and retreated, and when he went out of the door, the nurse happened to come back, and the two passed by.
The nurse was startled when she saw Ling Ruo there, walked in quickly and carefully asked for peace, stretched out her hand to take the Hongli, but Ling Ruo did not let go, but raised her eyes to signal Shui Yue to close the door.
After she turned over and sat down on a mahogany bench, she glanced at the anxious nurse and said slowly: "Lin Niang, I remember that when you came to the palace to take care of the little brother, you have already made it clear that you can't hand over Brother Li to others at will." Why, you don't remember after only two months? Or don't take my words seriously at all? ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Lin Niang waved her hand again and again, and said in a panic: "After the slave maid finished feeding just now, she suddenly had abdominal pain, which was really unbearable, and she saw Brother Chen coming over, so I asked him to take it for a while." ”
"So, you still think you're right?" Without waiting for Lin Niang to say more, Ling Ruo had already nodded and said, "Very good, Shui Yue, take her to the tent to pay the money, from tomorrow, you don't have to come to the palace again." ”
Lin Niang was immediately dumbfounded when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly knelt down and begged: "Fujin Kaig, the slave will not dare next time." "The monthly money of the nurse in the palace is three times that of the outside, and she finally came in, how can she leave easily.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Ling Ruo looked at her coldly.
Lin Niang felt the two cold gazes above her head, and shuddered: "The slave maid shouldn't have brought Brother Li to Brother Chen, the slave maid knew that she was wrong, and asked Fujin to give the slave and maid another chance." ”
"Remember, Brother Li is my life, since I will give him to you, it is the greatest trust in you, as long as it is handed over to your arms, I can't let him leave your sight for a moment. Otherwise, if he makes any mistakes, you and your family will not be able to afford it. Ling Ruo didn't really want to send her away, but just took the opportunity to beat her up, so that the same thing would not happen next time.
Lin Niang kowtowed again and again, saying that she would never do it again, and after waiting for her to go down, Ling Ruo did not rush to the hall, but thoughtfully stroked Hongli's somewhat long little face, and said after a long time: "It seems that ...... She's ready to do it. ”
Shui Yue's expression was shocked, and she said, "In this way, isn't it very dangerous for Brother Li." ”
"What should come always comes, it's useless to hide, not to mention that isn't this opportunity what we're waiting for?"
Ling Ruo paused, and then said: "From this moment on, twelve hours a day, give me a good eye on Chen Shu, I want to see what tricks he plays." Also, send a message to the Mao brothers, asking them to keep an eye on the house and the woman outside Chen Shu, and don't let her run away. ”
, Ling Ruo was reading a book in the house, Xiao Luzi hurriedly ran in and whispered something in her ear, although she was prepared in her heart, Ling Ruo couldn't help but show a shocked look, and suddenly threw away the book that didn't read a few words at all and got up and said, "Is there anything wrong with Hongli?" ”
"Don't worry, the master said, Chen Shu's kid put a snake on his front foot, and the slave asked someone to take him away on the back foot, and then took the opportunity to kill those iron wire snakes, and Brother Li didn't even wake up. As for the nurse, the minion had already warned her, and she was not expected to talk nonsense. Xiao Luzi said as he took out a small cylinder from his sleeve, which contained the corpses of the iron snakes.
Shui Yue leaned over and glanced at it, and said angrily: "Chen Shu, this villain, should really let him taste the taste of being bitten by a snake." ”
"Master, the minions don't understand, they have already used the Wire Snake once, why do they need to use it again this time?" In the palace, the same trick is generally not used a second time, because the more you repeat, the easier it is to show the horse's feet, and with the shrewdness of the Nala clan, it is impossible to miss this point.
"She uses it because if this trick is successful, she can kill two birds with one stone!" After knowing that the Dao Hongli had no trouble, Ling Ruo calmed down, dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, and said softly: "The appearance of the iron wire snake will inevitably remind others of the ominous rumor that has been rumored for a long time again. ”
"But when the prince was infected with the epidemic and recovered, this rumor had already been self-defeating." Mizuki interjected.
Ling Ruo shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "Having said that, everyone will remember that there was such a thing in their hearts, once there was a little spark, it would be ignited again, and it would burn even brighter than before. And Hongli was bitten to death by the iron wire snake that once appeared, which is the best spark of the prairie fire. ”
"Does she want to push Brother Li's death on the master's head, in order to confirm the ominous name of the master?"
"Ten ** is like this, if I have no heirs and become an ominous person, even if I have the name of a side Fujin, it is useless, it will be much easier for her to deal with me."
Ling Ruo's words made Shui Yue and Xiao Luzi tremble, if they hadn't been on guard against Chen Shu, then this guess would probably have come true.
Ling Ruo sat back in the chair, took a citrus and said lightly, "Go and bring Chen Shu here." ”
Chen Shu spent the whole day in uneasiness today, especially after secretly putting the iron snake in Brother Li's room, he was even more restless.
As soon as he put the wire snake in, he was called by Shui Xiu to trim the flowers and plants, and I don't know if the wire snake bit Brother Li, let alone if those wire snakes were found.
Just when his mind was in a trance and his mind was in a trance, someone patted him behind him, and suddenly turned around, but it was a small way, and he only heard him say: "The master called you in!" ”
Chen Shu's heart jumped, and he secretly said that Brother Li is dead, right?
Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "Do you know what the master called me?" ”
Xiao Luzi sneered in his heart, but said disapplaudively: "How do I know this, if you go in, you won't know the way." ”
