Chapter 375: She panicked
"What do you say? That underground casino caught fire and was dug up? Now the emperor has sent someone to investigate this shop? β
In the huge Huaqing Palace, Ruan Guifei was dressed in expensive clothes, and she was originally comfortably nestled in her own concubine chair, drinking rose tea made by the palace maid.
Hearing Ruqing say this at this moment, she was so shocked that the teacup in her hand "snapped", put it on the table, and sat up straight, with a pair of big eyes carefully smeared with eye shadow, which were wide at the moment, and even looked a little terrifying.
Ruqing saw her master showing such a look, she didn't dare to say anything, but told Ruan Guifei about the news she had heard.
After Ruan Guifei listened, she didn't speak for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, just when Ruqing thought that Ruan Guifei was about to be angry, Ruan Guifei's body leaned softly on the tuise chair, and muttered in her mouth: "How could such a thing suddenly happen, Ruqing, do you know what the fire was all about?" β
Ruan Guifei naturally would not be naΓ―ve to think that the fire happened unintentionally. She knew before that someone had been secretly investigating the matter, but she relied on the fact that she was the emperor's favorite concubine, and if she didn't have it, she secretly spread the news that the casino belonged to her, in order to divert the attention of those people.
But she never expected that the people behind it couldn't find any news, so they directly set fire and exposed their shops to the eyes of the world!
Ruan Guifei didn't dare to guarantee that the emperor would not check the news on her head, and this probability might be quite high. At that time, if she is really discovered by the emperor, the underground casino is related to herself, then she really jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it.
Thinking of this, Ruan Guifei hated itchy. If she had known that such a thing would happen, she should not have done this kind of thing in her own name in the first place. Even if that person's status is indeed higher than herself, but she can't keep herself right now, how can she take care of so much?
Ruan Guifei had already made a plan in her heart, if there was really any accident at that time, she would definitely seek the help of that person. She can't be stupid to expose herself to the eyes of the world, no matter what, she is also the noble Ruan Guifei who is away from the country, if it is because of this matter, the emperor is cold to her, and if she wants to regain the emperor's favor, it will be difficult.
Ruan Guifei has been in this harem for so many years, and she is naturally very clear about this set of truths. The reason why the emperor loves him so much, in the final analysis, in addition to the fact that his maiden family can bring so many benefits to the royal family, is it not because of his thoughtfulness and peace of mind?
Ruan Guifei has never done anything that makes Pei Tianyu angry or intolerable, so Pei Tianyu will pamper herself day by day. If Pei Tianyu loses trust in himself because of this incident, it will be difficult to redeem it.
Ruan Guifei knew very well in her heart that this time the matter was very serious. After all, casinos have always been banned in the country. She opened a casino under the nose of the Son of Heaven, and she is also the emperor's concubine, if this matter spreads, not to mention that her status is not guaranteed, if it is serious, it is very likely that her life will be in danger!
Thinking of this, Ruan Guifei's face suddenly sank.
She said to Ruqing: "Ruqing, you pay attention to the news outside, and if there is any new development, come to the palace at any time." Also, if anyone comes looking for me these days, remember to be seen by others. β
Ruqing has been by Ruan's side for so long, so she is naturally more or less clear about her details. Hearing Ruan Guifei's order, she hurriedly nodded yes.
As a person close to Ruan Guifei, how could Ruqing not know the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost? If your master is not doing well, you will definitely not get any benefits. Therefore, what she can do is to share the worries of her master as much as she can. Otherwise, I will definitely not have a good time in the future.
If it's more serious, you may lose your life. Ruqing knew the seriousness of the matter, so after she answered, she hurriedly went down to find out the news.
Ruqing was about to go down, Ruan Guifei seemed to remember something, and said, "Wait." β
Ruqing hurriedly turned her head to look at Ruan Guifei, and said respectfully: "I don't know what else Guifei Niangniang has to order?" β
Ruan Guifei was silent for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while, she spoke: "If necessary, help me contact that person, and say that there is something to find him in this palace." β
Ruqing was stunned, lowered her head and responded, "The slave knows." β
After Ruqing's figure, Ruan Guifei's expression did not become relaxed. Now, her role has become very passive for a while, which is not a good thing for her. She can only pray at the moment, the second prince has not found any information about her.
I don't know if those people were evacuated in time. If it was discovered, it would be really bad.
Although Ruan Guifei really wanted to contact the people over there, the investigation over there had already begun, and she didn't dare to act rashly. I am afraid that if I do something, I will expose myself faster, and when the time comes, it will really outweigh the losses.
On this side, Ruan Guifei fell into anxiety for the first time.
On the other side, Su Wanqing's room was a happy scene.
Ruo Bing sat on the chaise longue next to her, leisurely eating the fruits cut from the peaches while staring at Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing was stared at by her, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" β
Ruobing swallowed the sweet pear in his mouth, and then said playfully: "Look at the bride who is about to get married, what kind of expression will she have." β
Su Wanqing: "......" What kind of expression can she have, isn't it no different from usual?
Ruobing said curiously: "I said Wanqing, you are about to get married, and you are about to tie the knot with your beloved Sixth Prince, don't you have the slightest excitement in your heart?" β
Su Wanqing nodded and did not deny it.
"Of course."
"Then why can't I see it?"
"I just don't want to be seen by you, in fact, I'm so excited."
Ruobing: "......" She looked at Su Wanqing's calm expression, she didn't want to believe it, she was excited to death.
Is this woman, no, girl, already so elusive? Ruobing couldn't help but wonder if her eyes were becoming more and more inaccurate recently.
The nightshade next to her blinked her big eyes, and glanced at Ruobing with some curiosity on her face with frustration, not knowing what was wrong with her.
Forget it, I can't figure it out anyway, it's better to eat obediently. Anyway, with Sister Ruobing, I don't have to worry about not having mung bean cake to eat.
While thinking about it, Nightshade stuffed the warm mung bean cake in her hand into her mouth, and the sweet taste suddenly spread in her mouth, and she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
It's still delicious mung bean cake.
Su Wanqing and Ruobing next to them couldn't help but have a smile in their eyes when they saw that the nightshade was eating so deliciously.
Nowadays, Nightshade can be described as a complete follower of Ruobing, as long as she follows Ruobing, she will have mung bean cake to eat, which is already a deep-rooted thought in Nightshade's heart. Therefore, almost wherever Ruobing goes, Nightshade will follow, and everyone is even used to the existence of this little tail.
What's more, this little tail is so well-behaved and so cute, no one will hate her at all.
Su Wanqing looked at the nightshade that was eating with relish, and couldn't help but sigh at Ruobing: "Bing, I never thought that in this world, there would be people who love mung bean cake more than you." β
Ruobing pursed her lips slightly, glanced at Long Kui gently, and then said to Su Wanqing: "I haven't encountered it before. β
"You're really good together."
Ruo Bing glanced at Su Wanqing with some amusement, what is it like, what is it said so strangely.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time."
When Su Wanqing heard Ruo Bing mention the younger brother she recognized, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Yu practiced martial arts with his brother Chu all the time before, don't you know it. Later, he had no intention of studying with Xiao Du, and Xiao Du said that he had never seen someone so suitable for drug practice, so he abducted him. At this point, I don't know where to go. β
Ruobing looked at Su Wanqing, Xiao Du's temperament, she was also clear. Although Xiao Du is not very old, he always wants to find a little apprentice, known as inheriting his "mantle", and now he has met Xiao Yu, he is so diligent and studious, it must be quite suitable.
"Xiao Du, that kid, really, Xiao Yu is still so young, so you kidnapped him?"
Su Wanqing smiled shallowly.
"He said, he has to start with a doll, and that's how he came when he was a child."
Hearing Xiao Jue mention when he was a child, Ruo Bing couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said: "We suffered too much when we were children, and so did Xiao Yu, but fortunately he met you." In the future, I can also walk better, at least, with a family. β
Su Wanqing looked at Ruo Bing's expression and knew that she remembered some things that were not so good in the past. She stretched out her hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a chuckle: "Look at you, where do you think of it, now, you and I, as well as Zhao and them, are also family-like existences, for me, you and Xiao Yu are the same." β
Ruobing raised her head and met Su Wanqing's gentle eyes, her heart warmed, and she no longer dwelled on the past, anyway, it's already over, isn't it? She gently showed a beautiful smile, blooming like a white orchid in the mountains.
"Hmm."
In the second prince's mansion, because of the recent underground casino incident, Pei Qian almost left early and returned late, and was basically not in the mansion. After he came back, as soon as he came back, he also went to dine with his second princess, or take a walk with her.
In short, today's Pei Qian, just like the husband of an ordinary family, will accompany his wife as long as he has time.
The palace maid who served the two of them couldn't help but show envy in her eyes when she saw the second prince holding the second princess and walking in the garden.
The second prince and the second princess are really very affectionate, but I didn't expect the second prince to come over to accompany the second princess as soon as he was busy. However, the second princess is so gentle and considerate, and she is also very friendly to their subordinates. Therefore, those palace maids are all in a blessed mood.
I heard that Su Wanyue returned to the Second Prince's Mansion before, and they were worried that the Second Prince would snub the Second Prince and Concubine as before. If this is the case, the second princess will be injured more.
But what they didn't expect was that the second prince's attitude towards Na Su Wanyue was really different. A few days after Su Wanyue returned to this mansion, the second prince didn't look at her at all.
Such an attitude made those palace maids can't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They all knew what Su Wanyue really looked like, and naturally they didn't want her to regain the favor of the second prince. If she gains the favor of the second prince, then they will not have a good life as slaves and maids.
What's more, the second princess was so good to them, and they couldn't bear to see the second princess sad.
Now that it seems like this, Su Wanyue is afraid that she will not be able to win back the favor of the second prince. In this way, they are also relieved.
At this moment, Su Wanyue was sitting in her room, her face was gloomy, and the maid opposite her looked at her master's expression, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, not daring to speak.
"Say what you just said, again." After a while, Su Wanyue suddenly spoke, but anyone could hear it, and she gritted her teeth.
When the maid saw her master's expression, where did she dare to speak out, she was afraid that she would say something more, and then it would lead to greater disasters. If the master is angry, then he will definitely suffer again.
Originally, I thought that after staying in the laundry room for a while, the master would become different. But it seems that she was completely wrong, this woman, after experiencing such a tribulation, has become more and more serious. Her personality has also become more unpredictable, but people dare not approach.
"Why, now even a little maid doesn't listen to Miss Ben, right? Even if Miss Ben is just a concubine now, Miss Ben is also the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the end! Will even you rebel against me? β
Su Wanyue's words were actually a little gloomy. It seems that if you don't open your mouth again, in the next second, you will become a corpse.
The maid glanced at Su Wanyue tremblingly, then quickly lowered her head and repeated the news she heard.
"The second and second princes have returned to the mansion, but now they are walking with the second princess,"
"Did you tell the second prince that Miss Ben is a little unwell, and she hasn't eaten a drop of rice for a day today?"
Where did the maid dare to say anything, she quickly nodded and said, "The slave has already told the second prince about the young lady's discomfort, but, but ......"
"Brother Qian, what did he say?" Su Wanyue's voice at this moment carried a hint of calm, and there was also a hint of seductiveness, which made the maid a little unable to react for a while.
She replied honestly: "The second prince said, let the young lady have a good rest, after all, the young lady's body is not completely well." β
"Is that all?"
"That's all......
"Didn't you say anything else?"
"Slaves don't dare to ......"
The maid had just finished speaking, and suddenly a gust of wind struck, and before the maid could react, her weak body had already flown over fiercely, and with a "bang-" sound, she slammed into the door hard!
The maid suddenly exhaled in pain, she fell to the ground, her whole body was in hot pain, and her forehead was a little starry because she hit the threshold.
One drop, two drops, three drops of blood, slowly dripping to the ground.
The maid finally recovered from the dizziness, only to find that a small pool of blood had accumulated in front of her. With trembling hands, she gently touched her forehead, and her hand was warm.
She was bleeding.
Just now, Su Wanyue kicked this maid away with a fierce kick! Moreover, she was injured as a result.
The maid's tears welled up all at once, and she kept rolling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall. She didn't even dare to look up to look at Su Wanyue's eyes, her expression at this time must be terrifying. If he continues like this, he may not be able to survive one day, he will be tortured to death by Su Wanyue!
The maid didn't dare to think at the moment that her appearance might have been ruined. But she didn't dare to squeak at all, she was afraid that if she said half a word more, it would lead to a more terrible end.
The maids guarding outside the door heard such a heavy voice coming from Su Wanyue's room, they glanced at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.
The young lady must have lost her temper in it again, if it was before, the young lady would have smashed all the things at most, and she would not have attacked the maid.
But since she came back from the laundry, her temper has become even more uncertain, and if she can't move, there will be a maid who will be murdered. These of them were waiting by Su Wanyue's side, but in just a few days, they were more or less scarred on their bodies.
However, these maids were forced to serve Su Wanyue from the beginning, originally thought that Su Wanyue was a gentle and kind character, but it wasn't until they followed her that they realized how terrifying this woman was!
Now, it's even worse. The maid inside is said to be Su Wanyue's more intimate maid, and she has been poisoned like this, so where do they dare to say anything in front of Su Wanyue, unless they really think they are tired of being alive.
In the room, Su Wanyue didn't seem to have the slightest expression on her face because of her actions.
She looked indifferently at the maid who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, and when she saw the blood in front of her, there was even a faint trace of madness in her eyes.
Those who disobey her deserve to die!
It's just a little maid, a lowly human life, if you die, you die, and no one will care about it at all, let alone find out.
"Da-da-da-da."
Su Wanyue walked towards the little maid step by step, with a chill in her eyes that made people dare not look at it at all.
