Chi Yingchu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but tremble, and raised his eyelids to meet his gaze, as if he could already guess what he wanted to do next.

It would be false to say that she was not flustered, she had a strong uneasiness in her heart, but these were useless in front of him, and he would not relent because of her weakness.

"Do you think anyone would believe that?"

Her voice trembled slightly, wondering what good he could do by doing this.

Lu Yuanbai didn't care, and said lightly: "It is true that no one will believe the words of this king, but if it is said from the emperor's mouth, how many people do you think believe it?"

Her palms clenched a little bit, the man was clearly threatening, forcing her to retreat again and again but helplessly, she gritted her teeth hatefully.

"What does the prince want?"

Lu Yuanbai's eyes dimmed slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't want to do anything, I just let you know that this king doesn't like others to do things under his nose, it's you or him." ”

"But if it falls into the hands of this king, this king will never be merciful, so you must think twice about what you do in the future. ”

In this way, no one reported to him today, maybe the moment she ran out of the palace, she was already targeted by his people.

After Chi Yingchu went back, she came and went freely on the surface, but in fact, as soon as she moved, she would be stared at by his people, which she herself experienced.

And the second lady was taken back by the Protector and put under house arrest, she protested at first, but the Protector was really angry this time, and it was not her one or two rebuttals that could offset her anger.

"The legs are long on me, why are you keeping me closed, I want to go out, you let people open the door!"

The Protector looked at her through the window lattice, and snorted coldly: "Just because this is the Protector's Mansion, I haven't given you and left the book, you are still my person, this is not your place, it's not that you can leave if you want to......"

The second lady's eyes showed sadness, and the action of knocking on the door was a little smaller: "Yes, this is not my place, I should listen to you for everything, you let me live, I don't even dare to think about death." ”

The Lord Protector realized that he had said the wrong thing, but now it was too late to regret it, and he wanted to apologize to her, but when he saw her attitude towards him, the words changed again.

"This will make people look at you more, you think more about it, and less thoughts that shouldn't be. "Even if you don't think about him, you have to take Chu Yimiao into account.

As soon as the second lady thought of this, the more resentful she felt about him, if it weren't for him being too cowardly, how could she end up separated from her daughter?

"You still have the face to mention, you don't go to the emperor to open your mouth, you want Miaomiao back, but deliberately let her stay in the palace to suffer, when did you have her in your eyes?"

The eyes of the Protector were full of anger, and Tie Qing scolded with a blue face: "What do you know about a woman, are you easily offended by the fourth prince?"

Moreover, Chu Yimiao's reputation is not clean, and taking it back is only to bring shame on the Protector Mansion, anyway, just know that she is still alive.

He didn't say the latter words in front of her, because he was afraid of stimulating her, but the second lady's current situation didn't need to be stimulated.

After the protector left, three or four maids came, guarding the door all the time, she couldn't get out if she wanted to, and the people outside couldn't get in if they wanted to.

But excluding the eldest lady, she came with ease, as if no one could stop her.

The eldest lady still smiled gently, in the impression of the second lady, she always showed a gentle and virtuous image, but the shady things she did behind her back could only hide it from the protector.

"You don't have to look at me with such astonishment, I am the mistress of this house, what is there that I can't go?"

This is the difference between the main room and the concubine's room, the second lady's body trembled slightly, and the bottom of her eyes crossed with ridicule: "The eldest lady thinks too much, I don't mean that." ”

The eldest lady glanced at the maid at the door, and looked into the room: "Grandpa Guo has always treated you well, don't be angry with him, you might as well tell me your misunderstanding, and I will explain it to you." ”

"Don't bother you, it's not a misunderstanding, there's nothing to say. The second lady refused in a few words, directly blocking what the eldest lady wanted to say next.

In fact, the eldest lady didn't know it, but deliberately inserted a knife into her heart, so as to remind her to always remember who was the mistress of the house.

Although the Protector of the Kingdom has been in the big house over the years, his mind is on the second lady, originally the Protector and the second lady were childhood sweethearts, and later the eldest lady was the Ming Media Marrying.

The eldest lady was silent, and then nodded: "You have to understand, Master Hou is also involuntarily, it's not that I can't tolerate it, this time it's really your mistake." ”

The second lady watched her back and left, no matter how nice her words were, what was the use? The Lord Protector couldn't give him what he wanted, so he could only take it himself.

The lunch sent by the next person was quite rich, the second lady glanced at it coldly, her face was unmoved, and the other party comforted softly: "The second lady should eat some and take care of herself." ”

"Get out. The second lady kicked people out, tasted a bite of food, and continued to eat knowing that something was wrong.

A few days later, the news of the second lady's poisoning suddenly spread, and when everyone passed, she fell unconscious on the couch, and there were still blood stains in her mouth.

"Although I put her under house arrest, I haven't let others ride on her head yet!"

"You must find out about this, if anyone poisons her, it will be impossible to get along with me!"

"Yes. The men in the room fell to their knees.

At this time, only the eldest lady dared to step forward to comfort: "Grandpa Guo should not be angry, if the person who poisoned him is really in the house, he will definitely be able to find out." ”

The Lord Protector's gaze swept over her, and no matter what he encountered, he never suspected her.

At the same time, someone outside the house was watching carefully, and while everyone was not paying attention, they quietly went to the palace.

Half an hour later, the second lady woke up, and the protector was suddenly surprised, and met her cold gaze, and the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened a little.

The Protector returned to a cold face, and asked in a deep voice: "I'm going to find all the subordinates, you can recognize it yourself, and see who brings you food." ”

The second lady didn't seem to hear it, and her attitude was cold as if it was none of her business: "No need to check, I'm not fine?"

"You!" the Protector was dissatisfied with her attitude, angry but not easy to vent to her, and kicked the maid next to him.

"Useless things, don't go and check it out quickly! How could this happen, how did you all look at her!"

"Master Hou spares his life!" the maid was about to cry.

The eldest lady took the opportunity to give a look to the people outside the house, and instead of being found out by Grandpa Guo, it was better for her to take the initiative to find out.

Then a few people were pushed in, all of them were working in the kitchen in the backyard, and as soon as they came in, they explained everything, and the eldest lady said that she was going to send these people to the official to deal with.

"Wait, it's not them who really poisoned me, it's someone else. The second lady suddenly spoke, and her eyes slowly met the eldest lady.

The Protector's face was shocked, and his tone complained: "If you knew, why didn't you speak earlier?"
