"Your Highness, you don't know about this matter yet, the princess has dealings with other princes in private, which is simply unruly." Wen Yao said to Lin Hongyi.

Xu Qingqing also accepted this maid's words, and was about to explain, but Lin Hongyi opened his mouth without hurry: "The matter between Zilu and the eighth brother, this king has long known. ”

"What?" Wen Yao was taken aback and looked at him in disbelief.

If His Royal Highness had known about it a long time ago, why hadn't he dealt with this maid who was eating inside and out?

"This king and the eighth brother have always been friends, and this maid was sent by the king to the eighth brother." Lin Hongyi continued.

This is a lie, Xu Qingqing knows it.

Wen Yao froze in place, a little afraid to imagine her ears.

"Wen Yao, you disguised yourself as a man and went out of Beijing without permission, not only did you know your mistakes and did not change them, but you also slandered the king's concubine with nonsense, are you guilty?" Lin Hongyi asked.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "Wen Yao panicked all of a sudden.

Last time she made a mistake, but she was beaten with a board.

I thought that I could catch Xu Qingqing's handle this time and calculate the last account back, but I didn't expect that not only did I fail to bring down Xu Qingqing, but it was self-defeating and I got myself into it again.

"The slave knows the wrong, the slave knows the wrong...... The slave is worried that Your Highness will be kept in the dark, so she ......," she explained busily.

However, Lin Hongyi didn't intend to listen to her explanation, and interrupted coldly: "You have made mistakes again and again, and you have provoked the princess again and again, it seems that this king can't tolerate you." ”

Wen Yao was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Can't tolerate her?

In this way, His Highness is going to ......

"This is your deed of sale, from today on, you are no longer the maidservant of Prince Hong's mansion, if you appear in front of this king again in the future, don't blame this king for being ruthless." Lin Hongyi said.

The tone was not refusal, and Wen Yao's face turned pale when she heard it.

She has followed Lin Hongyi for so many years, but now she has been driven away because of just one Xu Qingqing, which is even more uncomfortable than killing her directly.

"Your Highness, slaves and maids have been serving you since childhood, you ...... Why are you so ruthless? There were tears in her eyes, and these tears were obviously not faked.

"Someone, pull her down." Lin Hongyi commanded.

Immediately, a guard came up and pulled Wen Yao out of the carriage.

"Don't, I'm not leaving, Your Highness, I'm not leaving......" Wen Yao shouted with a crying voice.

The guards shoved the deed of sale and the coil into her hands and pushed her away.

The carriage gradually moved away, and Wen Yao was still trotting behind at first, but then it seemed that she couldn't keep up, and stopped in place, and soon became a small black dot on the other side of the road......

"Lin Hongyi, you are still reluctant to let her suffer." Xu Qingqing said.

Zilu on the side was a little puzzled - what does it mean to be reluctant to let Wen Yao suffer, why can't she understand this at all?

"If you really don't care about her life or death, why do you want someone to entangle her, and why wait until you are so far away from the capital to drive her away?" Xu Qingqing asked.

Most of the people who accompanied the carriage were secret guards, and she didn't believe it, and those secret guards didn't notice the strangeness of Wen Yao along the way.

If this is the case, then Lin Hongyi is not raising a secret guard, but a group of blind people.

"Nothing can escape your eyes." Lin Hongyi was a little emotional.

Although Xu Qingqing is surprisingly stupid sometimes, she is still very smart most of the time, and there are some things that others can't understand, but she can see through them at a glance.

"Do you want her to go with her to the fiefdom, lest she have any strengths and weaknesses?" She asked.

"Yes." Lin Hongyi bowed his head.

In the end, it is the maid who has been with him for so many years, if he says that he will be driven away, it is too unkind.

But it is an indisputable fact that this maid has repeatedly contradicted and calculated Xu Qingqing, leaving such a jealous woman by her side will one day become a big disaster, if she attacks Xu Qingqing again, he may really kill her in a fit of anger and then quickly.

Therefore, letting Wen Yao leave became the best way.

After learning that Wen Yao had quietly mixed into the convoy, Lin Hongyi did not deal with it immediately, in order to allow Wen Yao to leave the place of right and wrong in the capital, and when she left the capital, no one would care that she had been a maid in Prince Hong's mansion, whether it was her father, Lin Xiuyuan or Lin Huai'an, they would not find her and treat her as a pawn.

With that money, she will be able to settle wherever she goes, and she will not be destitute.

Xu Qingqing's nostalgia for Lin Hongyi is more or less a little whispering.

But Lin Hongyi has already driven the maid away, and she can't say anything, otherwise she will be suspected of being cheap and behaving well.

After thinking for a moment, she asked again: "Tell me, when did you find out that Zilu had something to do with the Eighth Prince?" ”

Zilu was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect the topic to turn to herself so quickly.

"There are also people from this king in the Eighth Brother's Mansion, and the king knows exactly what eyeliner he has placed in Prince Hong's Mansion." Lin Hongyi replied.

Zilu shuddered, and hurriedly lowered her eyes, feeling that the gaze of His Royal Highness Prince Hong was really terrifying: "Your Highness, the slave maid knows her mistake, and the maid has known about this matter for a long time, since entering the mansion, the slave maid has not done anything to be sorry for His Royal Highness and Niangniang......

Lin Hongyi looked at her coldly: "Do you think this king doesn't know?" If not, you'd already be on the ground. ”

"The slave will definitely be loyal to His Royal Highness and Niangniang in the future, and will not contact the Eighth Prince again." Zilu hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

"What to say and what not to say in the future, Mu Zhao will teach you carefully." Lin Hongyi said.

Zilu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The slave obeys the order, the slave obeys the teachings of the prince......"

Mu Zhao took Zilu and retreated, and after the two left, only Lin Hongyi and Xu Qingqing were left in the carriage.

Lin Hongyi looked at her: "There is no handy maid, and you never complain to me, in the final analysis, you still don't really regard me as your husband." ”

"Your Highness said this, do you want to arrange a few satisfactory maids for me?" Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to follow Lin Hongyi's words, yes, she didn't regard him as her husband, but at least she didn't regard him as an enemy.

Sometimes, even she can't tell whether Lin Hongyi has a place in her heart.

"This king will ask someone to arrange this." Lin Hongyi bowed his head.

"That'...... Thank you very much. Xu Qingqing said.

"When are you going to be a real couple with this king?" Lin Hongyi asked.

Xu Qingqing stammered.

She had never thought about it, neither could nor dared to think about it.

It's as if you know that there is an abyss in front of you, and you won't be stupid enough to take the initiative to step on the air.

She wouldn't even tell Lin Hongyi that the first time she saw him, she had a strange feeling in her heart, as if he was destined for disaster.

This feeling deepened as time passed, and she sometimes did not even dare to face those deep and warm eyes—it was only when he faced her that he was so gentle and cold to others.
