The bitterness is sweet, and it is Min Qingrou who is talking about now.

was sick, and although he almost took his life, Situ Yue no longer dared to be careless. Now everyone in the house is holding her like a porcelain doll, and no one dares to slack off, so they almost offer her up.

The sun was just right, Min Qingrou was lying lazily on the chaise longue, covered with a thin silk brocade quilt, supporting her forehead with her hands, and taking a break with her eyes slightly closed.

The bead curtain was gently stirred, making a crisp sound of ding dong, and Yuan happened to walk in, and Fu Shen called softly: "Master, Rongtai asks to see!"

Hearing this, Min Qingrou slowly opened her eyes, an extremely charming smile appeared on her lips, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "Let him come in!"

As he spoke, he sat up and reclined back in the upholstered chaise longue.

"Yes!"

Coincidentally, she retreated, and a moment later, Rong Tai walked in with her.

"The slave knocks to see the master!" Rong Tai knelt down and saluted.

"Excuse me!"

Min Qingrou raised her hand and said, "Rongtai, why are you here?"

Rong Tai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to the master, everything is fine in Poria Xuan, please rest assured master!"

Min Qingrou nodded slightly, looked at Rong Tai and said, "Since Poria Xuan is fine, what is the matter with you coming over today?"

Rong Tai raised his head, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, paused, seemed to have finally made up his mind, knelt in front of Min Qingrou with both knees and said: "Master, the slave has one thing to ask for, and please ask the master to be tolerant!"

"Rongtai, what are you doing? If you have something to say, you are doing your best in my Poria Xuan, I will definitely help you if I can help you! Get up first!"

Min Qingrou pretended to be surprised, then raised her hand with a gentle smile.

"Master, the slave knows that you have always been sympathetic to the slave, and the slave is also willing to slap the ground for the master! It's just that the slave wants to ask you to save Xia Yi's life this time, please help the slave this time for the sake of the slave's loyalty to you!"

Rong Tai did not get up, but said his request in one breath, and at the end he kowtowed directly to the ground.

Min Qingrou looked at Rong Tai who was lying on the ground, and did not speak, but there was a trace of embarrassment on her face.

"Rong Tai! Nian Xia not only poisoned her master with blood citrine, but was also instructed by Madame Meiliu to poison the princess and princess in an attempt to blame her master! How can such a great crime of disobedience be forgiven? Since you are loyal to your master, how can you intercede for her?"

Afraid that Min Qingrou would be soft-hearted for a while, Yuan Qiao immediately stepped forward to reprimand Rongtai.

"Master! Rong Tai knows that Nian Xia's crime of poisoning her master is unforgivable! But she was forced to do so, and she was coerced by Mrs. Luomei, so she had to obey her orders! As for poisoning the prince and princess, the slave dared to conclude that it was never Nian Xia who did it! She didn't have the guts! Master, the slave knew Nian Xia's personality well, and someone must have deliberately framed her!"

Rong Tai hurriedly explained.

"Rongtai, Nian Xia poisoned the rose cake and wanted to poison the princess, so as to blame the master, this is already conclusive evidence! The prince is very angry about this, and has already sent her and Mei Liu to the criminal department! This matter cannot be unredeemed even if the master comes forward! I advise you to die of heart!"

Seeing that Rongtai insisted on interceding with Nian Xia, he couldn't help but be angry.

Rong Tai glanced at Yuan Qiao but didn't pay attention to it, just kowtowed to Min Qingrou and said: "Master, the slave begs you! The slave knows that you must have a way! Only if you can speak in front of the prince, the slave begs you, please spare Nian Xia's life! As long as you can promise the slave, the slave is willing to do whatever the slave does!"

Min Qingrou looked at Rong Tai, this person is extremely smart and knows how to deal with it up and down, but this time it will be folded in her hands after all.

Don't blame her, who told Rong Tai to die and refuse to spit out? If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have secretly designed to let Nian Xia come to this point.

"Rongtai, why do you care so much about Nian Xia?" Min Qingrou stroked her cuffs, but her words seemed to be unintentional, but they knocked on Rongtai's heart with a bang.

Rong Tai hesitated, gritted his teeth, and replied truthfully: "Back to the master, the slave doesn't dare to hide it! The slave and Nian Xia are fellow villagers, and they have affection for her when they don't enter the house, but because the government rules are strict, they dare not go beyond it, because they don't know the relationship between the two of us!"

"I see. Min Qingrou nodded slightly, and then said: "You are willing to be honest with me, which shows that you are still a little loyal to me! But you must know that Nian Xia is now locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, which is very different from being in the palace dungeon. It's not that easy to save her!"

"The slave knows, but apart from the master, the slave can't think of anyone else who can save Nian Xia! Master, the slave begs you!"

Rong Tai's words were earnest, and his face was full of anxiety and expectation.

"You have affection and righteousness for Nian Xia. However, have you ever thought that Nian Xia is a person, is it worth it for her like this?" Min Qingrou swept Rong Tai lightly.

"The slave knows that Nian Xia was arrogant before, and what she did after entering the mansion was just some things to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix! It's just that she has repented now, and after the master took her out of the Fragrance Garden, she once said to the slave that she would change her past wrongs! Master, as long as you can save Nian Xia's life, the slave is willing to do anything!"

Anything, that's what you're waiting for!

Min Qingrou's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Rong Tai and said, "Are you really willing to do anything to save Nian Xia?"

"The slave is willing, please give me orders!"

Min Qingrou's eyes when she looked at Rong Tai suddenly became a little sharper, and she said lightly: "Then, tell me everything you see in the Pujia Palace!"

"Master!" Rong Tai was shocked, and looked up at Min Qingrou sharply, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Don't tell me, you don't know anything! If you still want to save Nian Xia, then answer my question obediently. Min Qingrou's eyes became more and more aggressive, but her tone was softer.

"Master, minion...... Minion...... Can't say!" Rong Tai hesitated for a long time, but only gave Min Qingrou such an answer.

Min Qingrou's eyes lit up. It seems that she guessed correctly, Rongtai does know something!

"Can't say that?" Min Qingrou smiled lightly, raised her hand to pick up the turquoise glazed teacup on the small coffee table, brought it to her lips and took a sip gently.

"Master, the slave really can't say it! Otherwise, the slave's life will not be guaranteed! The slave is cheap, and he really doesn't deserve to be treated like this by the master! Please let the master let the slave go!" Rong Tai knelt down and climbed two steps to Min Qingrou, begging helplessly.

At this time, he finally understood that he was afraid that the master had already seen through him when he lied! It was just that the master was delicate and knew that he couldn't force him to speak, so he deliberately set a trap to lure him into taking the bait!

He said that after some hard persuasion, how could Nian Xia go to poison the princess again? She wouldn't be so stupid and didn't have the guts! All of this was clearly a secret plan by the master, just to coerce him to tell the truth!

It's a pity that it's too late to understand at this point!

He underestimated himself too much!

"Let you go?" Min Qingrou couldn't help laughing, gently flicked her sleeves and put down the teacup and said: "Rongtai, are you telling jokes? Where do you get the confidence to think that I'm targeting you? If you just want to force you to tell the truth, you don't need to be so troublesome!"

When Rong Tai heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart!

What is this master planning for herself? Why does she insist on exploring the taboo of the prince? If she just wants to compete for favor, then she should not touch the prince's scales. Pretending not to know anything, carefully avoiding that is the way to be a concubine, and going against the grain like the master, what is it for?

"Look no further! That's not your concern!"

Min Qingrou's cold voice reminded Rongtai in a timely manner. She got up and walked in front of Rong Tai, and said condescendingly: "What you should be thinking about now is, do you want to save your life or save Xia's life?"

Min Qingrou suddenly bent over to look at Rong Tai and smiled strangely. Then he raised his head and said with some sneer: "What if you have affection? At the critical moment, who doesn't think about their own interests? Even if you risk your life for Nian Xia today, how can you guarantee that he will not abandon you in order to cling to the powerful again every day? The emotions in the world are the most unreliable! If you want to gamble, you must have the consciousness to pay the price!"

Rong Tai was still silent, his head bowed, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Min Qingrou's words.

"But you don't have to be too afraid, since you are attached to me, I will naturally keep you safe, but the premise is, don't hide anything from me! For example, your personal relationship with Nian Xia, and for example, the real reason why you were transferred to Poria Xuan ......"

Min Qingrou paused when she said this, and then looked at Rong Tai again and said: "Presumably, you haven't been too comfortable in the past few days when you were transferred to Poria Xuan, right? Isn't it hard to worry about the taste of being killed all the time? Hehe! The only way out for some things is to put them to death and live later! Rong Tai, do you want me to be clearer? If the prince wants your life, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death! Now in the entire Qi Palace, the only one who can protect you is me! If you are willing to be honest with me, I can not only save your life, but also get back Nian Xia's cheap life! But whether you want to be with her in the future or not, it depends on yourself! I'll do it all, you can think about it yourself!"

After Min Qingrou finished speaking, she sat back on the chaise longue again, didn't look at Rongtai, picked up the teacup, and continued to drink her tea.

Rong Tai knelt on the ground, his head hanging low, and seemed to be lifeless.

Min Qingrou ignored it and waited quietly. She knew that sooner or later Rong Tai would bow her head.

I don't know how long it took, Rong Tai, who was kneeling on the ground as if he had turned into a stone statue, suddenly raised his head slowly, and a touch of determination appeared on his face.

"Master! Rongtai From now on, only the master's order will be obeyed!"

Rong Tai raised his hands and bowed down to Min Qingrou, at this moment, he really decided to recognize this master!

Min Qingrou smiled slightly, her smile was bright and moving. She raised her hand lightly and ordered: "Fortune, you go to the door to guard, no one is allowed to approach without my order!"

"Yes!

Yuan Qiao glanced at Rongtai and quietly retreated.
