Chapter 275: Who Was Exposed?
"Tell me, where Your Highness is resting tonight...... I guess it's still Shotokuin. Wait until His Royal Highness goes to bed, let's go to Zhaodeyuan, you have prepared your speech, don't say anything wrong. Lu Caixi commanded.
"Yes." Qiu Yan answered.
Lu Caixi was really tired of her attitude. But he didn't bother to say anything. As long as she doesn't get things done. If something goes wrong, the old and new accounts will be counted together.
Rong Yunxi felt that this matter should be solved. Although King Chen's treatment of Bo Xinlan could not return her innocence, it could be said that she suffered a loss, but he didn't say anything.
If everyone present last night can understand that she was harmed, then the only way to punish Bo Xinlan is to punish her. For example, Bo Xinlan's status was lowered. At this juncture, Bo Xinlan's position was demoted, and as soon as this incident came out, everyone could naturally think of what happened last night, and everything was self-evident.
But after all, Bo Xinlan is pregnant now, and everything still depends on the safety of the fetus in her womb. Let's let her live comfortably.
When King Chen called Bo Xinlan to confront him, but only used a warning as a punishment, Rong Yunxi actually felt in his heart that as long as he believed that she was harmed, it would be enough. As for what others think, it doesn't matter.
So this matter, in Rong Yunxi's heart, is over.
King Chen also had the intention of ending it, and after Bo Xinlan left, he cheekily asked her for the benefit, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his disposal.
Rong Yunxi said that he was not in the mood in broad daylight, so King Chen said in surprise: "Okay, then let's come at night!" ”
God knows how much Rong Yunxi wanted to give himself a big mouth at that time!
After dinner, it was getting dark. King Chen, however, seemed to have forgotten to ask for that benefit, and just sat quietly reading under the oil lamp in the small study.
It happened that Rong Yunxi also wanted to read, so he sat next to him in the study and accompanied him. In fact, it was reminding him - it's dark, you hug it......
It's not that she's cheap, it's that if you don't let him hug him before going to bed, wait and lie on the bed, and the matter won't be solved. If you can't figure out what King Chen means, you have to hug it all night.
But when he raised his eyes to look at King Chen several times, King Chen didn't react, it seemed that he was really going to stay until the evening......
Lu Caixi took Qiu Yan to the gate of Zhaode Courtyard, and saw that the gate of the courtyard was not closed, and there were lights in the house. In order not to attract attention, he did not stand at the door and shout, but took Qiu Yan directly to the door of the main house.
Rong Yunxi and King Chen both read and read seriously, at this time, Edelweiss may have fallen asleep, and they didn't call, and suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door, and they were really frightened.
"Your Highness, Niangniang, can you sleep?" At the door, it was not the voice of early summer or autumn that sounded, but the voice of Lu Caixi.
King Chen and Rong Yunxi glanced at each other, and Rong Yunxi said, "Come in." ”
Lu Caixi took Qiu Yan into the house, but it was dark, but he didn't even mention the lantern. When they entered the house, they walked forward quickly, and when they came to the study, the master and servant knelt down.
Lu Caixi kowtowed first and said, "The concubine is guilty." ”
"What is the sin?" King Chen asked lazily.
"The concubine has an urgent matter to report to His Royal Highness, so she rushed to the door, this is a ...... crime"
"It's okay, it's a big deal." King Chen didn't mind.
"Concubines are not strict in disciplining slaves and maids, this is the second sin." Lu Caixi continued.
King Chen glanced at Qiu Yan, who was kneeling behind Lu Caixi, and said, "This king looks at Qiu Yan, this girl is very good, and she has her own rules. What's wrong, what did she do wrong? ”
Rong Yunxi could hear from his voice that King Chen was unwilling to deal with Lu Caixi.
"Know but don't report." Lu Caixi said these four words neatly.
Rong Yunxi rarely listened to her speak so neatly, and asked with a smile: "What do you know?" ”
Lu Caixi looked up at her with some embarrassment, looking like she wanted to say something. Immediately, he looked at King Chen again, which was quite meaningful. But King Chen didn't notice her, but looked at Qiu Yan behind her, looking up and down.
Lu Caixi was unhappy in his heart, naturally not to King Chen, but to Qiu Yan. Just now, when King Chen said that Qiu Yan was good, she was already very uncomfortable in her heart. Unexpectedly, this girl was silent, but she actually attracted the attention of King Chen.
"Qiu Yan, since it's something you saw, you can come here." Lu Caixi turned around and instructed Qiu Yandao.
"Yes." Qiu Yan answered.
Then he said: "Last night, Madame was worried that His Royal Highness and Niangniang would eat too much wine and hurt herself, so she personally made two bowls of kudzu root soup in the small kitchen, and asked the slave maid to send His Royal Highness and Niangniang to Shengping Courtyard." But...... But...... The slave didn't do that. ”
"It's just a bowl of soup, it doesn't matter." King Chen.
"It's not just about this bowl of soup...... Qiu Yan glanced at Rong Yunxi timidly, lowered her head and continued, "The slave maid sees ...... The slave saw the princess and Her Royal Highness King Ling talking. ”
The smile on King Chen's face subsided a little, and he also glanced at Rong Yunxi.
Lu Caixi had been carefully looking at King Chen's expression, and when she saw King Chen's reaction like this, she was even more confused. This reaction is completely subconscious, and it is completely a manifestation of Rong Yunxi's care.
The slave was worried that she would collide with Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Ling, so she thought, don't go over that road, so she went around the direction of the backyard from a distance, planning to go around from the backyard and the other side to the door of the Shengping Courtyard. But...... But when I walked to the courtyard wall, I saw the winter snow in Yilan Courtyard. ”
The slave was about to ask her what she was doing in the dry grass so late, but she saw her sneakily going to Niangniang and Her Royal Highness King Ling. The slave felt that something was wrong, so she didn't dare to call her. I was stunned for a while, and I forgot what I was going to do. Afraid that someone would find out what he had wronged, he could only hide behind the wall to see what Dongxue was going to do. ”
But the winter snow hid in the grass, and it became farther and farther away from the slave and maid, and the slave and maid could not see clearly. I just saw that Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Ling suddenly fell. Then Dongxue got up and dragged His Highness and Niangniang into the grass. The slave and maid were frightened at that time, and the food box in her hand fell to the ground, and her legs were so weak that she fell to the ground. It took a while to come back to my senses, so I forgot everything, picked up the food box and ran to the Xianglai courtyard......"
Lu Caixi took it and said, "When this girl went back, I saw her face pale, and I felt that something was wrong, as if I was scared. I asked her, but did something wrong to annoy Your Highness? Can the hangover soup be delivered? The girl slowed down for a long time before she came to her senses, saying that she accidentally spilled the sobering soup and didn't deliver it. ”
"The concubine thought that she was scared because she spilled the sobering soup and was afraid that I would scold her. So I didn't blame her for anything, after all, it was dark and windy, and she was a little girl's house, so she was inevitably afraid of walking at night. Without much thought, I let her go back. Na Cheng thought, during dinner, she talked to the concubine about it, but the concubine was scared at that time! ”
But the concubine thought that this matter was very important, and it was necessary for His Highness and Niangniang to know. So she confirmed with Qiu Yan again and again, and she said that she really saw it, and that person was Dongxue. I had to bring Qiu Yan over and tell the truth about it. Maybe there's some misunderstanding in this...... Xu is Dongxue, what is the festival between the girl and the mother? Do it on your own? ”
After Lu Caixi finished speaking, he looked at Rong Yunxi with a worried face, as if he was very worried about Rong Yunxi.
King Chen stared at her with deep eyes, and for a long time, he smiled and said, "Caixi, in this mansion, you are the most sensible." Thanks to you bringing Qiu Yan over, otherwise this king and the princess would still be kept in the dark. The princess said that someone had harmed her, and the king knew that someone must have harmed her, but we couldn't figure out who it was. Originally, I was thinking of interrogating them one by one. With your exposure, it saved a lot of effort. ”
"It's just that the slave maid at the bottom was unlucky, and I saw it inadvertently, and the concubine had no choice but to tell the truth of the matter to His Royal Highness and Niangniang. But it's not about exposing anyone. The relationship between the concubine and Sister Bo has always been good, but now the slaves and maids under my sister have made mistakes, and the concubine is more heartbroken than anyone else. But when I thought that the princess was killed by a slave, I was angry, and I was very worried about my mother. was in a dilemma, and in the end he had to choose to tell the truth. ”
King Chen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are very good, you are not jealous." This king knows that you are afraid of provoking right and wrong, so he has delayed until now. Don't worry, only the four of us present know about this matter, and this king will never reveal your revelations to anyone. As for Concubine Bo...... Now that she is pregnant, everything must be based on her body, and this king will not deal with it first. When she gives birth, the king will bring this matter up again. ”
"That's it for now, you put your heart in your stomach and go back and get some sleep." King Chen said with concern.
"Yes." Lu Caixi obediently responded.
But in my heart, why do I always feel that something is wrong?
What His Highness said was all words of satisfaction with her, and there was nothing wrong with it. Although the treatment of Bo Xinlan is too magnanimous, the reason is reasonable.
When she thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it, but she just felt that something was wrong......
Naturally, he couldn't reveal the doubts in his heart, so he could only get up in a proper manner, give a salute, and leave with Qiu Yan.
King Chen looked at her back, and his eyes became more gloomy......
Seeing Lu Caixi coming out of Zhaode Courtyard from the window, Rong Yunxi asked, "What's wrong?" Do you think there's anything wrong with her words? ”
"Nothing wrong, just right. But it is precisely because it is just right that it makes people suspicious. How could it be so coincidental that they just met? ”
"Are you suspicious...... Is she lying, splashing dirty water on Bo Xinlan? Rong Yunxi asked.
