Chapter 16: I Want You to Rely On

"Lord Wang."

As soon as the words came out, Yin Mingchen stretched out his hand to interrupt her.

"What do you want to do now, this king doesn't want to know, but as the concubine of this king, you need to be cautious in everything you say and do, if something happens, it will affect this king."

Yin Mingchen directly said it very clearly, and at this time, he did not have the anger just now, but calmed down.

Jing Wen couldn't figure out his uncertain temperament, but she knew that what he meant by saying this was that he was not allowed to take care of the affairs of the third lady of the Qi family in the future.

Is it really necessary to bury her death in the ground along with her body?

Yin Mingchen looked unconvinced and stubborn, and did not speak.

After a long time, Jing Wen raised her head and looked at him.

"Lord Wang, let the concubine investigate, except for this matter, the concubine will listen to you for other things."

Jingwen prayed, this was the knot in her heart, and it was uncomfortable to untie it.

Now this prince is also her husband, if he begs him, he will not be so hard-hearted.

After all, today he offended Princess Xuanyu for himself.

Jing Wen looked up at Yin Mingchen with such a little hope, the man under the light, his face was pale, and he didn't know if it was because he was following her and blowing the night wind, so he was coughing all the time at this time.

His bony fingers held the teacup, sipping the hot tea one by one.

There was a slight flush on his cheeks, and there were four people in the room, Jia Xue had already been so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out.

Qianran stood beside Yin Mingchen, pouring him tea at any time without saying a word.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yin Mingchen put the teacup back on the table, looked into Jing Wen's eyes, and asked, "Why are you so persistent in investigating this matter." ”

"I just don't want innocent people to die unjustly."

"The most important thing in this world is the innocent and unjustly killed, do you think you can check it?"

Jing Wen was speechless.

"This king's house is not a charity hall, everyone accepts it, since you are the person sent by the ninth brother, you have to keep your duty, this king thinks that he is not bad for you, and he has never been short of you for half a year in the house, but you don't have to go too far."

These words can be regarded as a reminder to Jing Wen.

After Yin Mingchen finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Today's matter, you will be punished for being grounded for half a month, so that you can reflect, if the eldest lady of the Qi family comes, this king will find someone to send it, you still have to study hard if you manage the account shop." ”

"Wang...."

"Also, you maid, you secretly passed a letter to others, if this king is not mistaken, this is the one that Mama Wu just sent to your yard."

As soon as these words came out, Jing Wen saw that Jia Xue's kneeling body was obviously stiff, and her whole body trembled.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Mama Wu to receive a fine of ten rods and a fine of two months."

"I beg the prince to spare his life."

Ten rods down, it will definitely give her half a life, and then think about Mama Wu's tense face, Jia Xue is even more frightened, and keeps kowtowing.

"Lord, it was the concubine who asked her to go, I am the master, she is a slave, the things arranged by the concubine, she just doesn't want to do it, and the concubine asks for her to intercede."

Jing Wen knew that she shouldn't speak again at this time, and Yin Mingchen's punishment for her was already light.

But Jiaxue is the slave she just collected, and she asked her to do it at this time.

Now Yin Mingchen wants to punish her, if she doesn't even say a word, then if she has a complaint in her heart in the future, how can she be loyal to herself.

Yin Mingchen squinted his eyes and looked at the woman who was inch by inch.

His temperament seems to be gentle in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact he is really not a good person to get along with, and this concubine has repeatedly provoked herself, and she is really a little angry.

Qian Ran, who was standing on the side, saw this situation and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Mrs. Jing is just confused for a while, don't be angry." ”

Saying that, she gave Jing Wen a look, and Jing Wen didn't dare to speak anymore after seeing it, so she saluted and said: "It's the concubine who is stupid, the prince, you have a good rest, and the concubine retired first." ”

After speaking, he withdrew from the room with Jiaxue, who was still scared and weak.

Because it was late at night, the courtyard was pitch black, and there was no one.

Back at Zhaoyu Courtyard, Jing Wen sat on the couch, frowned and took off her shoes, only to feel that the soles of her feet hurt like needles.

Jiaxue lowered her head, walked to the oil lamp, took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, and the room instantly brightened.

Jing Wen looked at her like this and comforted: "I asked you to do this today, and I wronged you." ”

Jia Xue hurriedly shook her head: "Don't be wronged, the slave maid is your person." ”

Jing Wen nodded, she didn't say anything, now her identity is really inconvenient to do anything.

Lying on the bed, Jing Wen couldn't sleep a little, and after soaking in hot water at this time, her feet didn't hurt so much.

But Yin Mingchen's words were still echoing in her mind.

"If the eldest lady of the Qi family comes, this king will send someone to send her."

Will I never see my eldest sister again in the future?

She is in this house all day, the eldest sister is pregnant, and she must take a few days off to return to her mother-in-law's house, after all, her mother's house is not a place to stay for a long time.

Thinking like this, Jing Wen's always strong character was a little unbearable at this time, and her eyes slid down two lines of tears.

Now her father is no longer her father, and her eldest sister is not her eldest sister, she was originally a boudoir woman, and when she woke up again, she was already someone else's concubine, and her husband was sick and weak, although she was not short of food and drink, she could not detect a trace of her love for herself from him.

He even put himself like a thief, otherwise he knew why he was doing something.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help but lie on the pillow and cry with a whimper.

Although she was concerned, but the days still have to pass, she didn't know when she cried tired and fell asleep, and it was the next morning when she woke up again, Qingzhu came to knock on the door early in the morning and asked her to get up and freshen up, but she saw Jingwen's red and swollen eyes, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly asked what was wrong?

Jingwen shook her head: "You don't need to prepare breakfast, I'm not hungry yet, you go out and keep watch, let me sleep." ”

Qingzhu also wanted to persuade her, her body had just recovered, and it was not okay not to eat breakfast.

But Jingwen had already turned around and turned her back to her before she could speak.

Qingzhu could naturally see that she was in a bad mood, and she didn't dare to say more, so she only said: "Mrs. Najing has a good rest, and if there is something, call the slave." He turned and exited the room.

I don't know if she is too sad, she just feels that her headache is terrible, and her eyelids are sunk.

Obviously she was in a bad mood, but when she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

This sleep was another noon, Qingzhu was puzzled, this Jiaxue, who had just been promoted to a first-class maid, went out for a trip, and when she came back, she was carried back by the two of them, her face was pale, and she looked like she had gone to half her life.

But at this time, it was almost time for lunch, Qingzhu could only let Jiayu go to see what was going on, she knocked on the door and entered the house, and called Mrs. Jing twice, but there was no movement.

When she approached the bed, she saw the person on the bed curled up at this time, frowning, and shouting cold, cold words in her mouth.

At a glance at this situation, Qingzhu jumped and hurriedly ran out to call someone to ask for a doctor.

The guest doctor in the house walked quickly to the courtyard, followed by Yin Mingchen.

When he saw Qingzhu, he asked what was going on.

Qingzhu was also so frightened that he sweated, and told Yin Mingchen about the scene he saw in the morning, and Yin Mingchen frowned when he heard it.

This woman, crying? What is it? Do you feel wronged by her?

Then Qingzhu said: "This morning after the slave came out, she was guarding the door, and Mrs. Jing slept in it at noon, and it was almost lunch time, and the slave and maid went to ask Mrs. Jing to get up and wash up, and I saw Mrs. Jing curled up, shouting cold. ”

Yin Mingchen couldn't hold back and laughed angrily.

This woman is really angry, and she is actually sick.

"You go and follow Dr. Keqing into the inner room to see what's going on."

Yin Mingchen sat outside, took two sips of tea, and coughed from time to time inside.

Dr. Keqing went in for a cup of tea, came out again, and saluted: "Back to the prince, it is the fever caused by the anger of the heart." ”

Yin Mingchen, who had long been suspicious, was not surprised at all, and nodded: "Go and prescribe medicine." ”

The guest doctor saluted and said yes, then went to the medicine box and took out a pen and paper, and gave a prescription for someone to get it.

And Yin Mingchen sat in the position of watching the outer hall and did not move.

After a long time, he stood up and entered the inner room.

And Qianran was standing at the door outside.

In the room, Qingzhu was bringing a cup of hot water to the person on the bed, and the woman on the bed was propping up on the side of the bed with one hand, and as a result, she took two sips of the teacup, and frowned when she saw him come in.

Stand up and salute him.

Yin Mingchen waved his hand to stop her, presumably the last person she wanted to see at this time was herself.

Qingzhu retreated with a very eyed look.

Yin Mingchen sat on the stool of the round wooden table and tidied up the white coat on his body.

Laughing: "Are you so angry?" ”

Jing Wen sat up, Dr. Keqing tried the needle for her just now, and at this time she only felt that her head was not so painful, and even her chest was not so blocked.

She said softly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"What don't you dare, being angry is being angry, that is, this king doesn't understand, why are you a deep woman, so obsessed with a dead person?"

His phoenix-eyed eyes looked at the woman sitting on the bed.

Jing Wen raised her gaze, looked at him and asked, "Has the prince experienced despair?" ”

Yin Mingchen looked at her and didn't speak.

"The concubine has experienced, the kind of despair that there is no one around to rely on, and then the concubine survived, but I found that there is still no one around you who can trust or even rely on, even the prince, as the husband of the concubine, don't you also guard against the concubine?"

Jingwen said, tears in her eyes again, she didn't understand why she was so sad, but she just wanted to cry.

I want to cry out all the grievances I suffered in my life and the grievances I suffered after being reborn.

Yin Mingchen was stunned, she didn't expect her to say it so bluntly.

He was guarding against her, but that was because she was sent by the ninth brother, he had to guard against it, born in the royal family, let alone a day, even if it was not to be taken lightly for a while, what they were carrying was not the heart, but the head.

"Does this make you aggrieved? You are the one who was shoehorned in by the ninth brother, do you know that now that your father is old, there is an open and secret struggle between the princes? It's not you who this king is defending, it's the people behind you. ”

Yin Mingchen explained directly, in fact, even if you don't say it, everyone knows it in their hearts.

"Then have you ever thought that the concubine body doesn't want to be manipulated by the Nine Emperor Princes of Nalaoshzi, the concubine body just wants to live a good life with the prince, and wants the prince to be the concubine's support."

Now Jingwen really needs someone to hold her in her arms and comfort her.

"Impossible." Yin Mingchen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and made a gesture to leave.
