Chapter 11: The Ruthless Royal

Ruoxin frowned slightly, thought about it, and asked, "How did it happen?" ”

Ying Hongxian looked up at Ruoxin, his eyes were also a little gloomy, he shook his head, "I don't know, this morning my third brother and I finished teaching, when we said goodbye to the master, he was fine, and my father called me before lunch and told me that the third brother was poisoned." ”

"What did the prince say?"

"My father didn't say much, he just told me that someone had something to do with me." Ying Hongxian's eyes were slightly confused, thinking about what his father said to him at noon, and repeated: "My father also said that I should pay attention in the future, the children of the royal family are not as good as ordinary people, they are trees with intertwined branches, the more lush they grow, the more branches they have, and there are more people who climb and fold." If I don't know how to protect myself, my father will have to leave me to fend for myself......"

In the end, Ying Hongxian's tone was slowly lowered, obviously struck by King Ying Ning's rather ruthless words.

Ruoxin listened, but her heart was slightly stunned. Thinking about it carefully, Ying Hongxian is still young and doesn't know much about anything, King Ying Ning is afraid that he is telling him that if he was born in the royal family, the more powerful he is, the more people will cling to it, and there will be more opportunities for people to catch his braids and break branches. However, it was unexpectedly for King Ying Ning to say such a thing.

Looking at Ying Hong's gloomy demeanor, Ruoxin asked, "Have you sent anything to the little prince these days?" ”

Ying Hongxian thought about it and replied with some hesitation: "These days, the third brother always shouts in my ear, and says that he doesn't like to eat the pastries in the house. This morning I asked someone to buy a few skewers, and when I went to class, I brought them to him. ”

"Hawthorn skewers?"

Ying Hongke originally just sat next to Ruoxin and listened to them quietly, and when it came to hawthorn strings, Ying Hongke remembered something, climbed out of bed, and ran to the table. There was a plate covered with white thick on the round table, Ying Hongke lifted the white silk, lifted the string of rock sugar gourds on it, and ran back, she handed the rock sugar gourd to Ruoxin, and said: "Mr. gave it, my brother bought four strings in the morning, and this string was left by Ah Soft and my brother to Mr. ”

Ruoxin turned her head, smiled and took the rock sugar gourd in Ying Hongke's hand, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw two people standing outside the hidden door, raised her eyes, and looked at a pair of contemplative and inquiring apricot eyes.

Recognizing that it was Qingyun, Ruoxin got up, raised her hand and gave a salute, saying, "Madame." ”

Qingyun walked in with her maid and said with a smile: "Mr. is polite." ”

Ruoxin entered the mansion for half a month, and she and Qingyun only met once. She later learned that although Qingyun was Guan Jingru's maid to marry, she was really Guan Jingru's half-sister, but Qingyun's mother was born humble, and it turned out to be a maid who cooked in the kitchen. Because of her mother's identity, Qingyun has no status since she was born, she has been doing rough work with her mother since she was a child, and later when she grew up, she was sent to Guan Jingru to serve beside her, Guan Jingru is pure and gentle by nature, and she treats Qingyun very well, so when she got married, she also took her to marry together. Later, King Yingning fell in love with Qingyun, so he also asked her for her body and made her his concubine.

If you talk about her appearance, Qingyun can be called a beauty, with a slender figure, a long face, a pretty appearance, and a pair of eyes that are unique to the Guan family's apricot eyes, which are also somewhat similar to Guan Jingtian. It's just that after all, she was born as a maid, and she is used to lowering her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, so she lacks the demeanor and temperament of everyone's beautiful girls.

After greeting Ruoxin, she walked to Ying Hongxian's bed and said softly: "King of the county, the matter has been resolved, and there will be no more nonsense in the mansion in the future." ”

Ying Hongxian listened to Qingyun's words, his expression did not change much, but he said, "Xian'er knows, thank you, aunt." ”

Qingyun nodded, and glanced at the food on the table that had not been touched, "Someone just came to me and said that you haven't eaten since noon?" ”

Ying Hongxian responded like a little adult: "I'm disturbing my aunt, but Xian'er has no appetite and can't eat." ”

Qingyun's demeanor did not change, but he said softly: "Last night, you spoke against the prince, and that happened again this morning, the prince did not have a good face all day today, and even the people around him were trembling. King Jun, don't lose your temper and annoy your father for being unhappy, it's not good for you. ”

"That's what my aunt said." Ying Hongxian replied in a flat tone, but the expression on his little face was a little smiling.

Alas, at such a young age, I was too depressed to myself.

Ruoxin watched from the sidelines, sighing in her heart.

Qingyun has taken care of these two children for nearly seven years, and the relationship should have been the most cordial, but looking at the conversation between the two of them, it was tepid, although it was harmonious, but it seemed slightly distant. Ying Hongxian's attitude towards Qingyun is respectful like a mother, but he is only respectful but not intimate, and Qingyun Xu is the relationship of identity, and when he treats the two children, he is also a little more respectful, and he distances the relationship between the two.

After sitting for a few more moments and talking a few words, Qingyun got up and left.

Ruoxin followed Qingyun out of the door, Qingyun walked slowly, and said, "The county king and the county lord like Mr. very much. ”

"The county lord is also very likable. It is an honor for Ah Li to be their husband in the mansion. ”

Qingyun glanced at Ruoxin deeply, smiled and said, "Although I have taken care of them for almost seven years, they and I have always had some differences. Mr. has been in the house for half a month, and he has won their trust and love. When the county lord sees the prince these days, he always talks about Mr. ”

Ruoxin vaguely heard something different and glanced at Qingyun.

Qingyun continued: "Inheriting the trust of the prince, Qingyun takes care of her two children for Miss, although she has never been able to be like her own mother and son, but Qingyun does not want them to be hurt or taken advantage of. ”

Didn't she think she wanted to use the two children to get close to the prince?

Ruoxin replied with a smile: "Madame, please rest assured, Ah Li is not the one who uses the county lord to climb the prince. ”

"Sir, don't mind, it's just that Qingyun saw that the two children really liked Mr., so he said a few more words, and if he was rude, please don't blame Mr."

Ruoxin shook her head, in fact, it was not useless, it was only by relying on the identity of Mr. to enter the palace and find the soul stone, if you want to say that it is completely purposeless, it is not so.

After walking a few more steps, Qingyun asked again: "Sir, do you want to know about the poisoning of the little prince?" ”

"It does feel a little weird."

Qingyun didn't hide it, and said directly: "The imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Department said that the little prince ate hawthorn skewers and mixed them with fresh shrimp eaten in the morning, which caused discomfort and diarrhea. I don't know which subordinate chewed his tongue and said that the king of the county was jealous of the little prince and was favored by the prince, so he thought of a way to harm the little prince. ”

Ruoxin frowned, her words were really vicious, "The king of the county is so young, how can he know how to harm people." Have you found out who it is? ”

"Nope." Qingyun shook his head, "But the prince said that it was just an accident, and ordered the people in the palace not to mention this matter again." After all, it's a matter of royal face, and the brothers don't get along, and it spreads out, which makes people see a joke. ”

Ruoxin responded: "Ah Li understands, such as Mrs. rest assured." ”

Qingyun smiled and nodded, "Okay, I still have some things to do, so I don't need to accompany Mr. anymore." ”

After saying a few more words for Ruoxin to go back and persuade the king of the county, Qingyun led the maid out of Jingfu Garden.

When she arrived at the gate, Qingyun glanced back, the expression on her face was pensive, and after a while, she turned back again and whispered to the maid beside her, "Let's go back first." ”
