In fact, when Xiao Lingxiao and the four princes came out of the study, Bao Rong'er was already following behind them, which was all instructed by Xiao Lingxiao in advance, so she came out as soon as she saw the signal given by Xiao Lingxiao.

The fourth prince knew that the girl with a good posture next to Xiao Lingxiao was also very good at martial arts, so when he saw her appear out of thin air like this, he immediately suppressed most of the evil thoughts that came out of his heart just now. However, the insidious idea has been decided, and as soon as the four princes rolled their eyes, they immediately put on the faces of a decent man and a gentleman, and said to Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, "Lingxiao, do you remember that I mentioned to you when I stepped on the first snow, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, there was an interesting excitement in the Chufu Building?" ”

When Xiao Lingxiao heard that the fourth prince really mentioned this matter at this juncture, he also pretended, as if he had forgotten what he had said, and his face was at a loss.

Seeing this, the fourth prince was even more angry in his heart, no wonder he always felt that Xiao Lingxiao was too cold to him, it must be because he hooked up with other men, so he didn't even remember what he said!

"Chufu Lou is known as the largest restaurant in the Imperial City, hasn't Ling Xiao already tried the dishes in it? This time the excitement is rare, and without being invited, you will never be able to enter. How to Lingxiao? I'll go with you for a walk. "After watching the excitement and distracting yourself, I will let you be my woman! As long as your body is broken, you Xiao Lingxiao will be my person! The Xiao family will not offend the four princes for just one Xiao Lingxiao, don't say that you can't get the position of concubine, even if you want to be a concubine, you have to use all your belongings as a dowry!

The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more proud he became, but the expression on his face did not show it at all.

Xiao Lingxiao lowered her head and pretended to think, deliberately hesitating for a while.

At this time, I heard the fourth prince say again, "Ling Xiao, even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends." Isn't my affection for you worthy of you as a friend? ”

When Xiao Lingxiao heard this, she immediately raised her head, tears flashed in her eyes, and asked softly, "Your Royal Highness is willing to be friends with Lingxiao?" ”

The fourth prince secretly sneered in his heart, but what he said was extremely sincere, "Unless Ling Xiao doesn't treat me as a friend!" ”

Xiao Ling lowered her head and scolded secretly, and then raised her head, but she seemed to be very happy, "If His Royal Highness Meng doesn't dislike it, Ling Xiao is willing to be friends with His Royal Highness." ”

"Good!" The eyes of the fourth prince flashed with the kind of light when the hunter caught the prey, and he smiled and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Lingxiao said this, I am relieved, then on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, I will come to the mansion to pick you up." Interesting things, you have to share them with friends to be happier, Ling Xiao, you won't refuse me again, right? ”

Xiao Lingxiao pretended to be a little embarrassed, but she didn't shirk anymore, and nodded ruthlessly, "Since this is the case, then bother the Fourth Highness." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Bao Rong'er, who was standing behind them, felt a cold air blow through her whole body in an instant......

After they returned to the banquet hall and sat down again, Bao Rong'er lowered her voice and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Master, I think the four princes have bad intentions towards you. ”

Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently, "If he is a decent gentleman, I have no way to deal with him." ”

Bao Rong'er looked at Xiao Lingxiao and decided to swallow back the words that came to her mind - if this matter was known to Feng Ming, he didn't know how he would be angry. However, since Xiao Ling Xiaoming knew that the fourth prince had ill intentions towards her, she still did it, which means that she has taken precautions. Bao Rong'er is not like Xiao Fengming, who was carried away by his concern for Xiao Lingxiao, forgetting how powerful Xiao Lingxiao is, after all, she can still summon a divine wolf at any time. What are the four princes?

This matter is over, and everyone waited for a long time before Xiao Shuyong and Xiao Ranjie appeared again. Xiao Shuyong's face was dark, obviously sulking, while Xiao Ranjie no longer had the smug look of the spring breeze just now, he looked at Xiao Lingxiao as soon as he came in, and did not hide the resentment in his eyes at all.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't care at all, she smiled faintly and raised her glass at Xiao Ranjie.

Xiao Ranjie was full of grievances, but he didn't expect him to be planted in Xiao Lingxiao's hands. Turning his head to look at the others again, he saw that Xiao Huanxue's cold face was full of disappointment, and the eldest lady glanced at him fiercely with a pale face.

Xiao Ranjie stole chickens and rice, and his heart was really full of grievances and anger.

Everyone at the banquet noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so no one mentioned the painting anymore, and the four princes sat down for a while before leaving. And just when Xiao Shuyong also got up to go back to rest, he heard a sudden woman scream, "Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you! ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly gathered, and then they saw that the eldest lady didn't know when, she actually fell to the ground holding her stomach, and the scream was made by Xiao Huanxue, who was sitting next to her.

Xiao Shuyong and the others were taken aback when they saw this situation, and they all hurriedly ran to see the eldest lady. The hall was suddenly busy, only Xiao Lingxiao sat alone in her seat and did not move, she slowly put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at the direction where the eldest lady fell, and thought to herself, this woman still did it.

The eldest lady was carried back to the courtyard where she lived, and after calling the doctor for diagnosis, the doctor told Xiao Shuyong that the eldest lady's fetal movement was abnormal, and she was afraid that she was going to have a miscarriage. Xiao Shuyong was startled by these words, and he immediately asked people to bring their name cards to invite the imperial doctor Du who often came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for treatment. After the arrival of Imperial Doctor Du, he immediately checked the pulse of the eldest lady, and the result after the diagnosis was the same as the conclusion of the doctor in the prime minister's mansion, the eldest lady was likely to have a miscarriage.

Xiao Shuyong's face was full of doubts, this person didn't knock or touch, why did he suddenly have a miscarriage? At this time, Imperial Doctor Du pulled Xiao Shuyong aside, lowered his voice and told him, "Prime Minister, the eldest lady's illness is strange, if I guess correctly, it is very likely that there is something unclean in the eldest lady's house." ”

"Something unclean?"

Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he was full of poetry and books, and he was also familiar with medical science, knowing that when a woman was pregnant, if something special was put around her, it would be easy to cause her to miscarry.

However, it stands to reason that there should not be anything unclean in the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially in the house of the eldest lady, there is a special person to clean it every day, and even the items placed are fixed, how can there be unclean things?

However, the facts are in front of him, and Xiao Shuyong can't help but believe it.

Imperial Doctor Du prescribed a prescription for the eldest lady to protect the fetus, and then it was all resigned to fate. After the next person fried the medicine and fed it to the eldest lady, Xiao Shuyong called all the maids and mothers-in-law under the eldest lady outside, and then specially borrowed two proper old mothers from the old lady to carefully check whether there was anything unclean in the eldest lady's house.

The maids and ladies knelt in the dark, and Xiao Shuyong hugged his shoulders and said nothing with an angry face. Xiao Huanxue and Xiao Ranjie cared about their mother, and they didn't go back to their yards, they all waited here with Xiao Shuyong. After about two pillars of incense, I saw the two old mothers each holding a small bag of things in their hands, and walked out of the house with a heavy face.

After the two old mothers saluted Xiao Shuyong, one of them handed the small cloth bag in his hand to Xiao Shuyong and said, "Master, this is what we found from the utensils in the eldest lady's room, and this small cloth bag contains spices. We took a closer look and found that the spice seemed to contain cloves, incense, musk, and borneol, all of which could cause miscarriage in pregnant women. The eldest lady is pregnant with Liujia, and the fetus in her womb is already safe, if there is only one medicine, I am afraid that something may not happen, but this person who took the medicine not only put a lot of such small cloth bags, but in our opinion, the spices and medicinal materials used in it must also be specially configured...... Master, this is someone deliberately trying to harm the eldest lady and the little young master in her womb. ”

After listening to the old mother's words, Xiao Shuyong opened the small cloth bag and poured the contents on the palm of his hand to take a look, and found that what the old mother said was not wrong at all. He viciously threw the small cloth bag on the ground, pointed at the maids who were kneeling there, and said angrily, "How do you all serve your wife? Why is this kind of thing in Madame's house! Damn it! Damn it! ”

At this time, Xiao Huanxue, who had been standing aside with her head down and didn't know what to think, suddenly stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Shuyong, "Father, these people in my mother's room are doing their best on weekdays, if these things were already in the house, they would definitely find them." In my opinion, they and their mother must have been busy preparing for the New Year in recent days, so they were taken advantage of by the gangsters. If it weren't for that, my mother would have been ill a long time ago......"

Xiao Shuyong turned his head and glanced at Xiao Huanxue, he knew that among all his children, Xiao Huanxue was the most thoughtful and calmest in trouble, and in this regard, she was much stronger than Xiao Ranjie. Xiao Shuyong snorted, suppressed his anger, glanced at the maids kneeling in front of him, and saw the maid Begonia who had been following the eldest lady, so he pointed at her and asked, "Begonia, you talk back, have there been strangers in the courtyard of the eldest lady in recent days?" ”

Haitang was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she knelt there and shook her head vigorously, "No...... There is no ......"

"Then how can these things be in the eldest lady's room!" Xiao Shu courageously grabbed the small cloth bag held by another old mother and slammed it on the top of Begonia's head.

Although the small cloth bag is not heavy, Xiao Shuyong used great strength, and this time it hurt to beat the begonia, and with fear, tears suddenly fell out. But Haitang didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and hurriedly wiped her tears and looked up and said to Xiao Shuyong, "Master, sir, I was wrong, although no one has entered the yard these days, there are many people in and out, and the warehouse is sending things over, and the eldest lady is too busy to check it in person, she said that it is all handled by the eldest lady anyway, and there will be no mistakes, so let's put it in the house first......"

Xiao Shuyong was stunned when he heard this, "The eldest lady handled it?" You mean, there are things sent by Xiao Lingxiao in this house? ”

Haitang wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, along with the maids behind her.

Xiao Shuyong gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he was about to burst into flames in his eyes. He understood, this must have been done by Xiao Lingxiao! It must be Xiao Lingxiao who wants to kill the eldest lady and the child in her womb!
