???????“ Ay! Ruotang only had time to shout, and watched Zhou Liangyun chase him out.

"How good is that?" Ruotang chased two steps worriedly, and said anxiously.

Cai Qing said disapprerovantly: "Niangniang, what do you have to worry about, even if the cousin girl annoys Dr. Lu." A righteous gentleman like Dr. Lu would not do anything to his cousin, so you can rest assured. ”

"I'm worried about my cousin. I'm worried about Dr. Lu, you haven't seen your cousin angry like that," Ruotang sighed, "Just beat it up and get angry, but don't beat people up!" ”

The corner of Cai Qing's mouth twitched: "...... You mean, my cousin beat up Dr. Lu? ”

"Do you really think your cousin is a fuel-efficient lamp?" Ruotang couldn't hide her worries about Lu Zhengqing, "She was angry when she rented the shop to Dr. Lu cheaply, but Dr. Lu was still crooked for fear that his cousin would deceive him, and his cousin cut the flesh and didn't say anything, so he had to coax him and beg him to rent the shop." ”

She said and sighed again, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Lu Zhengqing was very bad, "Cai Qing, you better catch up and take a look, let my cousin see my face." It's not good to hurt people too badly. ”

Her life was saved by Lu Zhengqing, I hope my cousin looks at this matter and is a little more sensible.

Cai Qing heard this and hurriedly chased after him.

But soon she returned, saying that she had not caught up with the two.

Ruotang is useless to worry about. Thinking that Lu Zhengqing would always come to the house to see Concubine Deng's illness, and then talk to him well, hoping that he could let go of this mustard.

However, the next day, Lu Zhengqing did not come.

On the third day, Lu Zhengqing still didn't come.

Ruotang couldn't sit still, so he asked people to go to the Tibetan Incense Courtyard to inquire, only to know that Lu Zhengqing asked people to explain some precautions for Concubine Deng's medication. In a few days, I will enter the house to check Concubine Deng's pulse.

Ruotang was scared into a cold sweat, and her intuition was terrible, her fierce cousin must have beaten people and couldn't get out of bed. Otherwise, with Lu Zhengqing's positive and responsible attitude towards patients, how could he leave Concubine Deng for several days before he was willing to enter the mansion?

Just as Cai Qing was about to go to the place where Lu Zhengqing settled to take a look, the Liu family and the Qin family came together.

After the two of them asked for peace, Qin Shi preemptively smiled and said: "Look at Niangniang's complexion much better today, it seems that Niangniang is fine, this is really good." ”

Her gesture of favor Ruotang said that she had received it, and said with a smile: "Why did you come together today?" ”

Although I don't know how the Liu family persuaded the Qin family, although the two cooperated perfectly once, in private, the Qin family still looked at the Liu family unpleasantly, since the Liu family was able to enter and exit the Changchun Pavilion. The Qin clan also tried to come twice. But they all came alone, and today is the first time that the two of them have come together.

Of course, Thrush strictly guarded Ruotang, and when Chu Qianlan was there, she would resolutely not let these two girls in. After Ruotang found out, he laughed for a long time and told the thrush that it didn't have to be like this. It's not that she is generous, she is willing to share her husband with other women, but how closely the Qin family guards them, if the man wants to, and the Qin family is his justifiable woman, even if she is not in the Changchun Pavilion, she can go to Ning Xiang Zhai to spend the moon Xuan, so it is really useless to prevent anything. But the thrush's left ear listened to the right ear and went out, and as usual, Qin and Liu guarded the two like thieves.

Seeing that Chu Qianlan was not there, the Qin family looked a little disappointed, "I saw Sister Liu on the way over, so I came together." Lord, did you leave the house so early? ”

"The prince has been a little busy lately." Ruotang said lightly, "Do you have something to look for the prince?" ”

Liu frowned slightly, and the hand under the sleeve gently pulled Qin's sleeve. Qin Shi hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "It's okay." ”

Qin smiled and handed the account book and key in his hand to Ruotang, "Niangniang, please take a look, this is what Zi Dai sent to the concubine this morning, saying that the side concubine Niangniang is seriously ill and has no energy to take care of the housekeeping anymore." ”

Ruotang didn't ask Zi Dai why she gave the account books and keys to Liu instead of her, obviously, Zi Dai's little maid wanted to use this matter to create a gap between Ruotang and Liu, and wanted to borrow Ruotang's hand to clean up Liu.

Who doesn't know that little bit of caution.

Seeing that Ruotang didn't care, Liu put down his heart that had been mentioned all morning, "Zidai's girl is afraid that she is in a hurry because of Concubine Deng's illness, so she will hand over these things to the concubine." The concubine didn't bother to reprimand her, so she hurriedly sent things to you. ”

I'm afraid that Ruotang will misunderstand that she wants to be greedy for power.

"Leave it at that, I'll see it when I'm free." This time, Ruotang didn't push these things out easily.

It's easy to be a princess without real power, so it's safer to be a princess with real power.

Qin's eyes flashed, "Niangniang's body is good, it's not good to spend too much effort, if there is a place where the concubine is useful, the concubine must not be polite to the concubine, the concubine must do her best to do the things that the concubine commands." ”

I can't wait to help Ruotang solve problems. Ruotang smiled and said: "Okay, I know that you are a useful person, if this concubine has a place where she can use you, she will naturally not be polite to you." ”

The Qin family is different from the Liu family, in the matter of retaliating against Concubine Deng, it is the Liu family who has direct contact with Ruotang, so now the Liu family, whether in person or behind Ruotang's back, must be respectful, and dare not think about it for the time being, because she has really seen Ruotang's good means of killing people with a knife without soft-heartedness, so she is afraid of Ruotang's respect for a large part.

And through the matter of Concubine Deng, she also clearly understood the status of the princess in the eyes of the prince.

Concubine Deng has been with the prince for three years, and the prince has not said that he will give up.

What is she?

But the Qin family is different, although the Liu family hinted to her that it was the princess's signal to ask her to join forces to deal with Concubine Deng, and the princess was not the weak and incompetent person they thought in the past, and the princess's scheming methods should not be underestimated. But the Qin family, who was obviously arrogant and deeply favored by Chu Qianlan for a while, still didn't take Liu's kind warning in his eyes.

At this moment, she still wanted to replace Concubine Deng as the first person in the inner courtyard of the palace.

In addition to secretly scolding her for being stupid, Liu didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.

She said everything that should be said, she had to find death, and she couldn't stop it and didn't want to stop it.

If it weren't for the fact that she helped her this time, she wouldn't even bother to remind her.

……

The eighth day of the ninth month is the big day for Princess Guoan to marry into the Jin Palace. Bu He Wai Technique.

Compared with Shen Ruolan, a pink sedan chair was carried into the Jin Palace's mansion from the side door. The beautiful wedding of Princess Guoan, who is also a side concubine, was like a resounding slap in the face, and it was thrown on Shen Ruolan's face.

Ruotang also received a wedding card, and it was not good not to go, because it was the marriage given by the emperor himself. And it was also the emperor who gave the princess Guoan a beautiful marriage, anyone's face can be perfunctory, and who dares to perfunctory the emperor's face?

Early in the morning, Ruotang packed up and went to the Jin Palace---- Chu Qianlan had not returned to the house for several days, so she only asked Ruyi to come back and inform her that she had something important to leave the capital for a few days, and she would rush back in these days at the latest.

Ruotang was a little worried about him, his departure from the capital was confidential, and Ruyi brought his words back, so that she could help him cover up no matter what, and be sure not to let people find out that he was not in the capital.

I don't know what he's up to, but it's certainly not a small matter.

Ruotang thought of this, he couldn't help but have a headache, in the past, it was good to be perfunctory in the past, after all, Xiangwangfu was her territory, but today she was going to Jinwangfu, and other princes and princes went to congratulate, but if he didn't go, he made up a suitable reason, but I was afraid that it would also attract the attention of others. When the time comes, it will inevitably be found that he is not in the capital, and I don't know if it will cause trouble for what he is doing.

Ruotang was actually a little unhappy, where did he go, what he was doing, when he came back, whether he could come back alive, he didn't tell her a word, he just woke up one day, and he suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Ruotang rubbed the corners of his forehead and exhaled a depressed breath, which was very uncomfortable.

When he comes back, I have to have a good discussion with him about this matter, and I have to let him know what it means to respect others!

Thinking angrily here, Cai Qing over there had already reached out to help her get out of the car, "Niangniang, it's already here." ”

Ruotang got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was Shen Ruolan, who was dressed plainly and elegantly.

She was busy with a smile on her face, receiving guests, ordering her subordinates, and she was so busy that she looked like a hostess, without the slightest displeasure and embarrassment of being slapped on her face.

She also saw Ruotang, and hurriedly said a few words to the lady beside her, and asked the maid to lead people to the garden that specially received female guests.

"Sister, you're finally here." Shen Ruolan took Ruotang's hand, smiling sincerely and gratifying, but her eyes stayed a little longer when her eyes fell on Ruotang's intact face, which seemed to be smoother than before.

Ruotang remembered the last time she was in Fuxin Building, her meaningful gaze. Obviously, she knew at that time that there was something wrong with her clothes, and she was not disfigured, so she must have been very disappointed in her heart. Ruotang smiled, his fingers inadvertently stroked the broken hair on his cheeks, "I'm not late, am I?" ”

"No, it's still a long time before the ceremony." Shen Ruolan couldn't help but say with a smile on her face.

She took Ruotang's hand and was about to walk into the garden, and a maid hurriedly ran over, "Niangniang, go to the treasury and take a look, Mama Lin said that she couldn't find the kind of vase you said......

Shen Ruolan's expression changed slightly, "How could I not find it, I obviously made a booklet for people to lock in the warehouse, and I haven't put it out during this time, can it still disappear?" ”

The maid was so anxious that she was about to cry, "But, but Mama Lin can't find it, so I asked the slave to inform you......"

"Don't say it, I'll go with you." After that, he said apologetically to Ruotang: "Sister, I still wanted to talk to you, but who expected that the people below would not be able to do such an idea, so I had to go over and watch ---- in person."

"Go ahead." Ruotang smiled and withdrew his hand, "It's not good that because you talk to me, you miss the happy event of the King of Jin." It's not the first time I've come to this Jin Palace, so you don't have to accompany me. ”

Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "It's okay, sister, you can walk around." Otherwise, it's good to go to the main courtyard to accompany the princess, she has a bit of a bad feeling these days, and the prince and I are very worried. ”

Does this still need her to say? I really think of myself as the mistress of the Jin Palace!

Ruotang sneered in his heart, but there was no trace on his face.

When Shen Ruolan left in a hurry, she turned around and went to the main courtyard of Princess Jin---- anyway, she didn't know the women in the garden, so there was really no need to waste time going there to entertain them.

Mama Zhao heard that Ruotang was coming, and came out to greet her in person.

Ruotang saw that her face was really not very good, and she looked worried, so she sighed in her heart, "Mama, isn't my sister's situation not very good?" ”

Mama Zhao didn't treat her as an outsider, "The girl is so happy, no matter what she is, she spit it out as soon as she eats it, and she doesn't get better no matter how much she eats the decoction." ”

"Last time my sister went to Xiangwangfu, I saw that her complexion was quite good, why did she suddenly feel so happy?" Ruotang has never conceived a child, so naturally he doesn't understand anything.

Mama Zhao said patiently: "The girl is with Mrs. at this point, and when Mrs. was pregnant with a girl before, she had morning sickness. But the old slave remembered that no matter how powerful the lady was at that time, she was not as powerful as the girl. The old slave is really worried, if he vomits like this, how can the child in his belly be good? ”

Ruotang quickened his pace, and before he entered the house, he heard Princess Jin's heart-rending voice. She hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, didn't care about her image or anything, and rushed in three or two.

I saw that Li was holding Princess Jin's shoulders in distress, and Princess Jin was lying on the side of the bed, vomiting weakly and hard. Ruotang looked at the spittoon held by the maid, there was no food residue in it, but Princess Jin's stomach had already been empty.

"I can't spit on like this anymore!" Ruotang looked at Princess Jin in shock, who had become skinny in a short period of time, her face was sallow, she was completely unrefreshed, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the bruises under her eyes also proved that she probably hadn't slept peacefully these days. "What did the doctors say?"

"The imperial doctors in the palace have all come, and they have prescribed a lot, but they are not good." Lee's eyes were red, and tears fell as he spoke.

"Is the dregs of the medicine that my sister drank still there?" Ruotang stepped forward and grabbed Princess Jin's cold fingers, frowned and asked Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao hurriedly said, "It's all here." These medicine slags, Mrs. also let the doctor of the Pingguo Mansion see it, and there is no problem. ”

Princess Jin was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to shake Ruotang's hand back, and barely squeezed out a smile at her, "Don't worry...... My mother was like this when she was pregnant with me, didn't she give birth to me smoothly? If my mother can do it, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, another wave of thrilling vomiting began.

Ruotang called Mama Zhao to the door, "How long has my sister been like this?" ”

"It's been a few days, and I can only barely drink some water these days, but even if I drink water, I still vomit." Mama Zhao blamed herself unusually, "It's all the old slaves who didn't take good care of the girl." ”

"My sister is weak like this, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep the child in her belly." Ruotang's expression was solemn, "I have to find a way to let my sister eat something." ”

Although Ruotang suspects that someone has done something to Princess Jin, she can't find any suspicion if she is as old as Mama Zhao, if you rule out the speculation that others are secretly assassinating Princess Jin, it is really just Princess Jin's physical problem.

"These days, the small kitchen has made a lot of food for the girls, and some of the girls have not eaten yet, and they vomit just by smelling it, and some of them eat it, but they will vomit it soon. The old slave can't do anything now......" she said, looking at Ruotang's eyes suddenly lit up, "The water steamed bun dim sum you made when you came over last time, the girl loves to eat it very much." Could you please do it again......"

"Say nothing, please." Ruotang interrupted her, turned around and walked towards the small kitchen, "Cai Qing, come over and give me a hand." ”

Quickly made water steamed buns, Mama Zhao sent them to Princess Jin's house full of hope, and everyone watched Princess Jin frowning and swallowing the ** who ate two. Just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Princess Jin let out a "wow" and spit it out again.

Ruotang gritted his teeth and looked at Princess Jin's painful appearance, turned his head and went to the kitchen again, always trying to make her eat something.

The previous fire maid might as well be Ruotang came back, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid the things in her hand behind her.

Ruotang's eyes narrowed, his eyes were as sharp as arrows staring at the panicked little girl, and he shouted, "What are you hiding?" Take it out! ”

Could it really be that Mama Zhao was negligent, and someone really bought off the people in the main courtyard to kill Princess Jin?

The maid snapped and knelt down, and under Ruotang's terrifying gaze, she trembled and handed over the things hidden behind her, crying and begging for mercy: "Niangniang spare her life, spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid are so hungry that they can't help it...... But the slave didn't steal from the kitchen, and the slave's sister gave it to the slave maid......"

Ruotang looked at the little maid handed over her, called the egg, but Ruotang was more accustomed to calling the oval duck egg Songhua egg rolled twice on the ground, and sighed softly. "Get up, I'm wrong to blame you."

The maid was stunned for a moment, raised her teary-eyed little face, and looked at Ruotang in disbelief, "Niangniang, you are really like this...... Spare the slaves? ”

"Or else? Am I going to beat you up? ”

"So, can the slave take the behemoth away?"

"Of course...... Wait a minute! Ruotang suddenly shouted, so frightened that she was about to reach out to take the little girl who had changed her hand, and looked at her pitifully with two tears in her eyes: "Niangniang......"

Ruotang suddenly remembered that a colleague had just become pregnant, and her appetite had changed inexplicably, and what she had never touched before had become her favorite food, and the stranger the taste, the more happy she ate.

Princess Jin has a normal taste, and she should not have eaten Songhua eggs. And this kind of thing, because of its bad looks, is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and ordinary rich and noble people will not eat it at all. Princess Jin don't talk about eating, I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet.

Ruotang's spirit was shocked, and he asked the little maid: "Is there any such egg in your sister's place?" ”

"Still, right?" The little maid was not sure, she was really frightened by Ruotang's startling.

"You give me this egg." Ruotang bent down and snatched the egg from under the little girl's fingers, and without looking back, he instructed Cai Qing: "See what she wants to eat and give it to her." ”

The little maid was aggrieved with a straight mouth, and Cai Qing looked like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and she felt ashamed of the master who snatched the little maid's egg like a robber just now, and hurriedly took all the remaining water steamed buns she had just made to her, "Eat, eat, this is much better than changing eggs." ”

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, seeing that Ruotang did not punish her and gave her snacks that were more delicious than the eggs, she was not so afraid of Ruotang for a while, and saw that Cai Qing was helping Ruotang to peel off the eggs, but the potholes were very ugly, and she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Sister, I'll help you peel it." ”

Ruotang wanted to make the simplest preserved egg tofu for Princess Jin, let Cai Qing process the Songhua eggs, and cut the tofu into small dices, and his ears were not empty, listening to Cai Qing tease the little girl.

"Princess Jin is missing you to eat or what, you are still hiding in the kitchen to steal food, so that Mama Zhao can see it, I have to teach you a good lesson."

The little maid said neatly while peeling the pine flower eggs, "People are still young, and they always feel hungry." Actually, I'm not the only one who eats in the kitchen. One night I was so hungry that I remembered that there were still leftover steamed buns in the kitchen, so I sneaked over, only to see Sister Lu Ying in the mother's house also hiding in the kitchen to steal food. ”

Ruotang's hand to cut tofu was beaten, and she also recognized the maid named Lu Ying, who was the second-class maid in Princess Jin's house. Her appearance is the most outstanding among the maids, although she is still neat in her hands, but Ruotang intuitively doesn't like her, and always feels that her eyes are very restless. However, because of Princess Jin's dowry maid, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Ruotang didn't want to mention it to Princess Jin.

Hearing this, she asked casually, "Then have you ever seen your sister Lu Ying steal something?" ”

The little maid saw that she secretly glanced at Ruotang, and then whispered: "Sister Lu Ying took something from the cupboard over there and put it in the princess's ginseng soup, she, she was so bold that she dared to drink the princess's ginseng soup secretly, but she only secretly drank a sip, and sent the ginseng soup to the princess ......"

The knife in Ruotang's hand slapped on the cutting board with a "clang", and sure enough, there was the person who wanted to kill Princess Jin!

Probably Mama Zhao didn't expect that there were thousands of precautions, but it was difficult to prevent thieves.

The little girl was frightened by Ruotang's sharp arrogance, and when she saw Ruotang turning her head to stare at her, she hurriedly buried her little head deeply.

Ruotang realized that she had frightened people, so she took a deep breath and put on her usual harmless and gentle smile, "Tell me, where did Lu Ying take the thing?" ”

The little maid pointed to her left with a trembling finger and whispered, "That's it." ”

Ruotang hurriedly instructed Cai Qing, "Come and help me find ...... Wait, you go find Mama Zhao! ”

The little girl was frightened when she heard Mama Zhao, and she knelt down to kowtow again, Ruotang pulled her up, "Good girl, you have made a great contribution this time, Mama Zhao will come in a while, I will let her reward you." Now you tell me, on which floor is Lu Ying taking the things? ”
