Chapter 337: Dying Struggle
"Okay." Lu Caixi said leisurely. It can drag on for a moment. When Mama Jin came back from Bo Xinlan, some things had been hidden to the point that she couldn't find them even if she dug three feet into the ground.
Naturally, Mama Jin couldn't give her this time to respond. In fact, after making a fuss from other places, it is already a bit alarming. I don't know why His Royal Highness made such an arrangement, so let her start the search from somewhere else first, as if she wanted to remind Lu Meiren. It is estimated that His Royal Highness didn't take Lu Meiren to heart at all, and felt that even if she had the ability to deal with it, it might not work.
Her Royal Highness can be so calm, but as a slave and maid who works underneath, she can't. If something really goes wrong, it's that she's not doing well.
"Madam, you see, the slaves and maids are to be searched sooner or later, and Madame's side is naturally sitting upright, and there is nothing unpleasant. So what does it matter if you search a moment earlier or a moment later? If the slave and maid really went to Yilan Courtyard and came back, it would be bad for Mrs. I know, it means that Mrs. is tired and lazy, and she is unwilling to take care of the slave and maid for a while, but I don't know, I don't think that Mrs. is using this time to hide something? Didn't you criticize Madame instead?"
Mama Jin said respectfully, but she could hear Lu Caixi's face turn red and white. Mama Jin's meaning couldn't be more obvious, if she had to let Mama Jin go to Yilan Courtyard, it would mean that she had a ghost in her heart. If this matter spreads, it will inevitably not be used by people with intentions.
But if you don't let Mama Jin go over...... The powders she had hidden in the quilt and pillow were found once they were discovered......
Lu Caixi sat upright, his mind was turning rapidly, but the more he turned, the more chaotic he became, and he couldn't think of a reason.
"What does Mama mean is that this ridiculous act of searching the house today must be done?" After a while, Lu Caixi asked in a deep voice.
"Madame, don't embarrass the slave and maid, the slave and maid are just acting on orders. Speaking of which...... "Mama Jin said pretending to be slurred, "Speaking of which, how could Madame ...... How could you accidentally pick up that piece of jade pendant and come back? So it's okay to search, right? The slave and maid really don't understand why the lady is blocking like this......
Lu Caixi's mouth is just a little neat when he says inconsequential things on weekdays. When it comes to the real tricks, the brain's response is not at all, and this mouth is even stupid. Where can it be Mama Jin's opponent? After Mama Jin's words, Lu Caixi didn't know how to deal with it.
So I had to take a look at Qiu Yan, which meant to make her smarter. But Qiu Yan just stood beside her with her ears and nose closed, and didn't look at her at all.
Lu Caixi secretly hated in her heart, wondering if this cheap hoof would cause her trouble at a critical moment?
"Ma'am?" Mama Jin reminded in a low voice.
Lu Caixi had already guessed that today's events were coming at her. Maybe Mama Jin found out that something was wrong, reported it to His Highness, and asked His Highness to show me. If you don't let Mama Jin search and make trouble to Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely stand on Mama Jin's side. Not only will she not get any benefits, but it will make Her Highness think that she is a thief.
Therefore, there is no escape from this. Thinking about it, the things that had been sewn into the pillows and quilts were not so easy to find. It's better to reduce Mama Jin's vigilance as much as possible, so that she is not so careful when she goes to search.
"Mama also knows that now because I am pregnant, how many people in this palace are jealous of me?" Lu Caixi said, glanced at Mama Jin up and down, and said gracefully, "Mama said that she was assigned by His Highness, but I don't know, in addition to His Highness's intentions, Mama also received any instructions from others...... If one of the girls under my grandmother's hands with nimble hands and feet accidentally dropped something in my house, but when I look back, she says that it is already in my house, how can this be good......"
"As for me, it's always been better to have more than less, so I thought, don't give people a chance to misunderstand. But since Mama has to search, I naturally won't block it too much. What am I afraid of? White cannot be called black......"
Before the words fell, I saw King Chen coming in from the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing him, the original affirmation in Lu Caixi's heart and the original reason that he should have disappeared again. As soon as I saw his face, I pinned my hope on him again.
It's just that there is a thought in the bottom of my heart, thinking that as long as I complain to him delicately, he will be spared the search of Xianglaiyuan.
The thought came to her mind so quickly that she didn't have time to think about it. It's just that because I was used to being pampered with him in the past, I naturally had this idea. When I saw him in fear, I left behind all the coldness of him that I had realized for a while, and all the attitudes I had perceived about him.
Aggrieved, he hurried out, met King Chen in the middle of the courtyard, and said, "Concubine to His Royal Highness, please ...... peace."
"Why should Ai Ji be polite?" King Chen held her and helped her up.
Feeling his hand touching his hand, Lu Caixi's heart felt even more stable.
"Done searching?" King Chen saw Mama Jin standing in the courtyard and asked.
"Back to Your Highness, I haven't searched yet. The lady was about to ask the slave and maid to go in and search, when His Highness came. Mama Jin said.
did not tell King Chen about Lu Caixi's situation, because this would lead to a lot of trouble. said that Lu Caixi asked Sou, as long as His Royal Highness nodded, she could bring people in.
After listening to Mama Jin's words, Lu Caixi hurriedly said coquettishly: "Your Highness...... The princess lost a jade pendant, what does it have to do with the concubine's Xianglai Courtyard? How could a concubine do that stealing? Presumably His Royal Highness's meaning is just to let Mama go to search the slaves' rooms, right? How could such a thing be allowed to humiliate the concubines? But Mama Jin had to search even the concubine's room. The concubine is the master, how can the room let these slaves and maids offend in a hurry? ”
Lu Caixi held King Chen's hand and said coquettishly. His eyes were wet, as if he was about to shed clear tears in the next moment.
The body was pressed to King Chen's arm again, and the plump on his chest rubbed against King Chen's arm, and his voice became more sticky: "But Mama has to go in to search, and the concubine doesn't want to make a mess in the house, so I can only agree to let Mama go in and search." But in the bottom of my heart, it's really uncomfortable. What is this treating as a concubine? Became a thief? In the future, in this palace, is there a difference between a master and a slave? ”
King Chen listened to her words with a smile, and automatically ignored her many verbosities, and only noticed a few useful sentences in them. said with a smile: "Ai Ji knows the general situation, and knows that she doesn't want chaos in the house, so she would rather be wronged." This king is really pleased to look at it......"
As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Caixi's waist and took her into the house. is even more concerned: "How cold it is outside, why did you come out in such thin clothes?" Come in with the king and be warm. ”
After saying that, he said to Mama Jin: "You quickly bring someone in to search, hurry up and go elsewhere after the search, don't annoy the beauty here." ”
"Yes." Mama Jin responded.
Lu Caixi's already relaxed footsteps suddenly stopped.
After thinking about it quickly, he gritted his teeth and continued to struggle. looked up at King Chen, twisted his body, stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Your Highness......"
"Ai Ji ......" King Chen looked very helpless, and while untying off the big curtain on his body and draping it on her body, he said softly, "This king can't help it." In other courtyards, the master's house has been searched, if it comes to you, the king will not let it be searched, and if it is spread out, people with a heart still don't think that this king is favoring you? Aiji, you are pregnant, everything is still comfortable and good, this king doesn't want to give you jealousy. ”
His voice was so gentle, and his eyes were full of concern. His was draped over her, carrying his body heat. But...... Lu Caixi felt that it was very cold, very cold......
King Chen's reaction was exactly the same as Mama Jin's. Under the guise of thinking that she was good, they pushed her to accept the search and made her refuse.
Lu Caixi's heart sank and sank, cold and cold...... But I still think that I haven't reached a dead end.
He just asked people to come and search her house, and he didn't have any evidence. It was Mama Jin's old chewing the root of her tongue, which aroused his suspicions. As long as Mama Jin can't find anything, she can take this opportunity to further gain his trust.
She already knew what his purpose was when he appeared at this time, but she didn't want to blame him for anything. Because it is useless to blame. What's more, with her identity, with her current position in his heart, what right do she have to blame?
Not only that, but he didn't even dare to stop him again. To avoid further suspicion from him, she could only follow him into the house.
Bian gave Qiu Yan, who was standing on her knees at the door, a look...... However, this lowly hoof still hung his head, only looked at the ground under his feet, and did not even raise a glance.
Lu Caixi was so angry that he couldn't wait to rush forward directly and give this cheap hoof a slap. But she couldn't. He could only quickly withdraw his gaze, so as not to make King Chen suspicious.
As King Chen entered the house, instead of having a dissatisfied reaction, he said with concern: "I haven't found these courtyards, it must be impossible to have them in Xianglai Courtyard, and if there is no one in Yilan Courtyard, where should I find this jade pendant?" Listen to the slaves and maids, this jade pendant is the ancestral heirloom of the princess's mother's family! ”
"Yes, this jade pendant is very important to the princess." King Chen smiled casually and personally helped Lu Caixi to sit on the stool.
Lu Caixi's heart was pounding, trying his best to be steady, and he continued to act as if he didn't care about this house search. Suddenly I thought of something: "Ah! Your Highness, what do you say...... Could it be that the princess forgot to take it out? Have you found it in Zhaodeok Temple? ”
