"Go, go and get the cook for me." Mrs. Qi glanced at the princess with slanted eyes, the other party's expression did not change, as if she recognized her approach, Mrs. Qi didn't know how, she actually felt a little confident, after all, in the past, when she encountered such a thing, Qing Chu was the first to object, because this kind of thing was boring and meaningless.

In fact, to put it simply, it was just a woman who was beaten violently, but it just so happened that this woman was a cook they were looking for in the house, but what was the reason for this woman being beaten?

Is it a debt that has been called on, or is it stealing a man outside, or has someone caught something?

Just such a trivial matter, Her Royal Highness the princess is also interested, it seems that life in the royal family is indeed very comfortable, otherwise there is no need to care about such a sesame thing.

Ruoping just wanted to ask questions, but quickly covered his mouth again, nodded "yes" again and again, and then retreated.

How could he say no in front of the royal family, even in front of his wife, he couldn't be questioned.

Ruoping is obviously not as shrewd as before, but he seems a little at a loss.

Isn't it just a cook who has been beaten? Even if it is the emperor Lao Tzu, he has to do what the master explains.

However, he also thought it was strange, wasn't she just a female chef? As for Madame, do you want to mention it in front of these big people? It's weird.

While thinking, Ruoping left the front hall again, then walked through the courtyard, and finally found the steward Fang in the backyard, when the steward Fang was directing the hot dishes in the back kitchen to be continuously delivered to the front hall, Ruoping stopped him, and then called him to the side, asking him where was the female chef he brought back?

Steward Fang felt strange, but replied honestly: "In the firewood room, I have already found a doctor to go over for treatment." ”

"Hmm." Ruoping left after learning where the female cook was, leaving the bewildered Monk Fang Steward in the same place, thinking, isn't it just a female cook? As for spending so much effort? Is there any doorway in it?

The only answer to him was the smoky night breeze and the bright and silent moon.

After a while, Ruoping found two housekeepers to set up Li Jicai, and then dragged him all the way to the front hall.

However, instead of being brought directly to the crowd, he entered through the side door of the front hall and arrived at the side hall of the front hall.

There are many large and small halls in Qi Mansion, Ruoping is naturally very familiar with it after staying here for decades, and he also has insight into the master's thoughts, and knows that if there are many people in the scene, it is not very convenient.

So, after the family put the unconscious Li Jicai in the side hall, he stood next to him and waited, waiting for Steward Ruoping to come back.

However, what I didn't expect was that after a while, the butler came back with a string of people.

Mrs. Qi, Qi Qingchu, His Royal Highness the Prince, the second prince, and the youngest princess, Princess Yitian.

The royal family is the royal family, and sure enough, the abundance of gods is handsome and extraordinary.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had soft eyebrows and a smile on his face. has a Yonghe and elegant appearance, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he is indeed the kindest one among all the princes, and he is worthy of being the prince of Chu State.

And the second prince has a serious complexion, doesn't look easy to get along with, has a dark complexion, round eyes, majestic and majestic, and has a heroic and extraordinary bearing.

It is said that the second prince is very good at martial arts, polishing on the battlefield all the year round, and he likes to go to the school every day when he comes back.

Therefore, unconsciously, the second prince took on the responsibility of the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Prince, and wherever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went, the second prince would generally accompany him to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince.

This time when she came to Qi Mansion, Princess Yitian Jiang Xicheng begged her brother to celebrate Qi Qingchu's birthday, and Jiang Xicheng admired Qi Qingchu very much.

When Qi Qingchu was a prince in the court, several people met when they were children.

The family in the side hall stared intently at the playful and lovely princess Yi Tian who jumped in, and Mrs. Qi saw the rude behavior of her subordinates who were slightly dissatisfied.

With a wave of his hand, he let them out, leaving Ruoping to stay by and serve them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the Princess each found a place to sit down, the expression on Qi Qingchu's face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

Mrs. Qi sat beside Qi Qingchu, slightly apprehensive.

Princess Yitian stared intently at Li Jicai lying on the ground, pursed her lips slightly, and then frowned and thought about something.

Mrs. Qi didn't know what she was thinking, so she hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I told the people in the mansion earlier, and when we found her, she had been beaten and bruised all over her body, and we took her back to the mansion, and she has been treated, and now she has been slightly treated, but it looks like she has passed out." ”

"If you pass out, how can you ask questions? Is there any way to wake her up? Jiang Xicheng heard Mrs. Qi's words, and said with some dissatisfaction, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the second prince Jiang Xilu: "Second brother, don't you often encounter this?" How are the prisoners in the prison interrogated? ”

Jiang Xicheng's face was innocent, so that people couldn't hear the meaning of what she said.

Jiang Xilu's eyes flashed, and he looked around, and found that there was just a cup of tea on the coffee table on his right.

So, he was usually used to being vigorous and resolute, so he stood up without hesitation, and then reached out and took the teacup, lifted the lid, and there was still half a bowl of tea inside, I don't know whether it was hot or cold.

Of course, Jiang Xilu didn't care about the temperature of the water, walked to Li Jicai's side, and then leaned down slightly, and directly poured the water on Li Jicai's face without leaking, drenching her face.

Looking at his movements, Jiang Xicheng let out an exclamation: "Alas. ”

Then a smile of surprise broke out.

Li Jicai, who was lying on the ground, woke up, she was unconscious, and the pain in her body was very painful all the time.

Jiang Xicheng couldn't help but stand up, and wanted to rush down to look, but was held down by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting next to her, and shook her head slightly, she is a royal princess, and she represents the royal face outside, she can't be so reckless, there are faux pas, which makes people criticize.

What's more, there was also Qi Qingchu present, if Qi Qingchu didn't like it at the beginning, it would be bad to annoy the master's family.

Jiang Xicheng was held down, and just thought about it, he wanted to have a seizure and break away from his hand, but when he saw her eldest brother's eyes looking at Qi Qingchu, he had no choice but to purse his mouth and retreat to his seat.

But anxiously wanted to speak, she looked at her eldest brother and then at the second brother, and no one had any intention of speaking first.

Mrs. Qi gave Ruoping a look and motioned for him to go over and take a look.

Ruoping walked over obediently, and then squatted down to check Li Jicai's condition, her snort was very calm, and she didn't seem to be worried about her life, and the thin ones were all skin injuries, and if the viscera were damaged, she should have died a long time ago.

"Wake up." Ruoping called softly, he didn't dare to say too loudly, for fear of alarming the people next to him.

Li Jicai was rushed by the water, and immediately woke up with excitement, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him.

She remembered that she had been beaten and saved, what was the situation now? Where is she?

When he opened his eyes and saw the face of a strange man, Li Jicai was startled, and subconsciously wanted to lean back.

But he was quickly pulled by that person and couldn't move.

Mrs. Qi couldn't help but wanted to stand up, but she couldn't help it, standing still and watching the changes.

Ruoping raised his head and looked at Madame, and then peeked at the others, not knowing how to speak.

"Huh?" Li Jicai was the first to make a sound, and the questioning tone let everyone know that the woman lying on the ground was awake.

"The family in my house saved you and brought you back to the house, because you participated in the selection of my house before, and your dishes are doing well." Mrs. Qi tried to soften her tone and said without hurry.

A female voice entered her ears, and Li Jicai's head was in sharp pain and buzzed.

"Uh-huh." Li Jicai hummed two more sentences in a row. At this moment, she sat down on the ground, and the man in front of her grabbed her clothes to prevent her from falling.

Bursts of pain and coldness came, making Li Jicai feel very uncomfortable, is there anyone who can give her a blanket? It's cold.

Her hair had been soaked with blood, and some of it was knotted in pieces, and it was a mess, and the maid's clothes that were used to change into her were a little big, ill-fitting, and empty on her body.

"I ask you, why were you beaten up?" Mrs. Qi asked again.

Princess Yitian guessed that Li Jicai had provoked some people in the rivers and lakes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guessed that Li Jicai was in debt, and His Royal Highness said that there was a conflict between husband and wife, Qi Qingchu did not guess, and Mrs. Qi also said a possibility in order to meet the situation, so she said that Li Jicai was a competition between businessmen, considering Li Jicai's identity as a cook.

Ruoping didn't know about Steward Fang's inquiry about the butcher, and he didn't have time to ask in such detail.

If he knew that what the butcher was talking about was the conflict between husband and wife, maybe he would have revealed it to his wife in advance.

"Let's be careful, if you are wronged, the government will disobey you tomorrow."

Li Jicai was still listening in a daze, but when she heard the government or something, her mind suddenly became sober again.

She gasped for a moment, then said slowly, with difficulty, "Dog...... Dog ......"

Dog??? What does this have to do with dogs?

Everyone was a little stunned for a while.

Ruoping didn't know what Mrs. Qi said to these royal families, so he didn't know their guesses, so he followed Li Jicai's words and continued: "Yes, when the servants in the palace brought people back, they brought back another man and a dog. ”

Since the dog is out, it must have deviated a lot from what they guessed, and everyone's interest was suddenly reduced by half.
