Chapter 18: Irony

Min Qingrou returned to Poria Xuan accompanied by Yuan Qiao, and was silent along the way, as if she was a little preoccupied.

Coincidentally, I couldn't help but feel anxious, wasn't I frightened by a storm just now?

But the master was very calm just now, and even she was very surprised, but as soon as she left the hall, she immediately looked like she was distracted, what was going on?

Coincidentally didn't know that at this moment, Min Qingrou's heart had been blown up by the news that Shen Miaoling had inadvertently revealed!

Princess Hyoyixian?

Laugh at!

When she was alive, no one understood her suffering, and no one pitied her pain! Now that she is gone, what is the use of giving her these false names?

What's even more ironic is that her nickname is actually because the emperor is grateful for the king's 'deep affection' with her, how ridiculous!

This is not a praise to her, it is an insult to her! What a bullshit 'Princess Xiaoyixian', she is not rare!

She died unjustly, and she could not turn a blind eye until she died! She was framed, slandered, born prematurely, weak, and beaten to death! Situ Chi dared to lie in the sacred court, saying that 'the couple was deeply in love'! It was too much of a deception!

She swore that if she didn't take revenge in this life, she would not be a man!

"Master, don't think about it!

Seeing that Min Qingrou seemed to have a sad and indignant face, she thought that she was wronged by what she had just done, so she hurriedly helped her sit on the bed, comforted her intimately, and took out the snow jade pearl paste that Situ Yue had rewarded, cleaned the wound with warm water for her, and carefully applied the ointment to her injured wrist and the back of her hand little by little with a jade board.

The small blisters on her wound had now been connected into large blisters, which were very frightening, and although she was very careful in the process of applying the medicine, she still broke some of the blisters.

Yuan Qiao felt pain when he looked at it, and hurriedly asked: "Master, does it hurt? Does it hurt? You bear with it! It will be better soon!"

But Min Qingrou didn't seem to hear Yuanqiao's words, and she didn't say a word, as if she didn't feel a trace of pain at all. It wasn't until fate dressed her wound that she discovered her abnormality.

"Master, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the desperate and sad look on Min Qingrou's face, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

At this time, Min Qingrou finally made a move, she raised her head, a strange stoic light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and said in a very light voice: "Yuanqiao, you say, can I become the princess of Qi?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Qiaoden was paralyzed on the ground in fright!

"Lord, master?"

Master, what's the matter? Such a sharp gaze, such a resolute expression, just like the appearance of the sunset plum and snow willows!

What's going on? Why is the master's cowardice just now gone? Replaced by perseverance and strength that does not belong to her? Could it be that she was stimulated at the family banquet just now?

That's right! No matter how weak the master's personality is, he is still the daughter of an official family, how can he endure such humiliation? It is reasonable that there will be such a change! But this is not a good thing! She knows the master's ability too well, and she cannot fight thyme!

Thinking of this, he suddenly knelt down in front of Min Qingrou, and said earnestly: "Master, the slave and the maid are brave, please listen to the slave and the maid!"

"Yuanqiao, what are you going to say?" Min Qingrou looked at her.

"Master, although the princess has bullied you a lot, after all, your identity is there! Besides, even if you want to fight with her, you have to fight it! The Baili family is one of the six great families of our Yaori Dynasty, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, how can you be her opponent if you have no power or power? Don't talk nonsense about this, otherwise it will only bring you death! Master, the slave knows that you are bitter in your heart, and it is right that you want to get the prince's favor to change your situation, but if you want to overthrow the princess and take the throne herself, I am afraid it will be even more difficult! Master, you must think twice!"

Yes, with her little concubine, how can she fight over thyme? However, if some external forces are added, the outcome may not be known!

How could Min Qingrou not understand the idea of coincidence? However, at the family banquet just now, she had already seen some clues.

Situ Yue, the king of Qi, is not a good-natured character. What he did at the family banquet just now made Min Qingrou see the tip of the iceberg of this man.

He simply knew what Thyme was doing, but he chose to ignore it!

He knew that Thyme was hiding her illness, but he didn't say anything, and he guessed that there was something wrong with the health cream that Thyme gave her, but he still chose to calm things up for Thyme!

He rewarded her with expensive tributes from the Western Regions, not because she was rewarded for her meritorious service, but because he wanted to warn Thyme! Warning her not to challenge the authority of the prince, she can do whatever she wants in the backyard, but she must not be presumptuous in front of him Situ Yue!

But did he ever wonder what kind of effect he would have on her by doing so?

Thyme will hate her even more because of this, and her situation will be even more dangerous!

I'm afraid he thought of it, but he was trying to test her with it!

Yes, Situ Yue seemed to have an inexplicable sense of inquiry about her. The deliberate humiliation at the banquet and the real purpose of rewarding her are just trying to probe her bottom line!

It turned out not to be her delusion. This Situ Yue seems to pay special attention to her, but why? What is the use of an unfavored concubine to him?

She really couldn't figure it out. But it doesn't matter, on the contrary, if King Qi really has a plot against her, she can just use this to gain a foothold in King Qi's Mansion!

It was because she understood this that she said those things to Yuanqiao, but she was afraid that Yuanqiao would be frightened! But it didn't matter, she could just use this to test the sincerity of her personal maid. The path she has to take in the future is extremely dangerous, and if she can't guarantee the loyalty of the people around her, she would rather eliminate them!

Thinking of this, she got up and picked up Yuanqiao on the ground, and sighed lightly: "Yuanqiao, you get up!"

"Master?" was stunned.

"What I just said is just a momentary mood, you don't have to take it seriously!" Min Qingrou sighed and sat back in her chair. "I know that I have no power and no power, and I can't fight the princess. If it weren't for the mercy of the prince today, I'm afraid that even if I tried the poison myself, I wouldn't be able to move the princess in the slightest! It's just a coincidence, if I don't want to live this kind of life of being bullied all day long, what should I do?"

Min Qingrou's expression was gloomy, as if she was frustrated by her inability to resist oppression, and her situation made Yuan Qiao extremely distressed.

"Master, the fight between concubines and concubines has always been like this, compared to family background, it is power, without these things, you can only endure. ”

"Forbearance? Can forbearance keep peace? I didn't even sleep in the past, and Thyme didn't let me go? The battle in the backyard of the palace is a contest of power and a fight of people's hearts. Which of the people who have succeeded in ascending to the position here is not stained with blood on their hands? And that blood is the blood of those of us who are powerless to resist! When we are in pain, they are happy, and when we are struggling, they are at ease! By chance, you tell me, do I want to be a fish and meat that struggles painfully, or am I a sword warrior who controls the fate of others?"

"Master?"

Yuan Coincidental was shocked again. She didn't know that her weak master would say this.

She always thought that Min Qingrou was just a little jasper who didn't know anything about the world, but she didn't expect her to see her situation so clearly.

"But this road is too dangerous! Master, are you really not afraid of death?"

"It's because I don't want to die, I don't want to die because I don't want to die because of unexplained grievances, so I want to fight and fight! Fate coincidence, tomorrow I will go and tell Miaoling that I will send you to serve her! The princess regards me as a thorn in her side and will not let me go easily! If you follow Miaoling, it will be safer than following me. ”

"Master, don't you want to be lucky?" asked Yuanqiao raised his head in astonishment, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Silly girl, the road I'm going to take is too dangerous, and if I'm not careful, I'll kill myself! You and I are a master and servant, I don't want you to follow me into danger! As the concubine of King Qi, I have a reason to fight, but you are just a maid, as long as you are loyal to the master, no matter where you are, you will not have to worry about your life! Coincidentally, this is the only thing I can do for you! If you still regard me as your master, listen to me and follow Concubine Shen!"

"Master, isn't there any other way?" Yuan Qiao's face was full of sadness, but he didn't expect that at this time, the master first thought of her!

Min Qingrou sighed lowly: "You also saw it at the family banquet today, the prince is moody, and his mind is even more unpredictable. Even if I get the favor, who knows how long it will last? What's more, I have offended the princess, she will certainly try her best to make things difficult for me, and then I will not be able to protect myself, and you will also suffer from the fish in the pond! Coincidentally, although I have forgotten the past, I can feel that you are sincere to me in the few days I have been with you! Miao Ling is right, in this palace, it is too difficult to find a confidant! Although you are a maid, you make me feel grateful! If you still remember the love of our master and servant, promise me to protect yourself! If I am in prison one day, I will not ask you to avenge my grievances, but only to collect my body and bury my bones, and I will be satisfied!"

Although it was a temptation, Min Qingrou still couldn't harden her heart in the end. In the end, he was even more gloomy, and the straightforward and simple Yuan Qiao couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Master, fate is not leaving! fate is going to fight with you! Even if you die for the master in the future, fate is willing!"

Yuan Qiao gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed the corner of Min Qingrou's clothes, and said firmly.

"No need! Coincidentally, I understand your kindness! I can't protect myself, let alone take care of you! If you follow me, you will only be affected by me, and you will lose your life in vain! You can go! I have made up my mind!"

Min Qingrou bit her lower lip fiercely, pushed Yuan Qiao away, and stopped looking at her.

"No, master, Yuanqiao doesn't want to go, please don't rush Yuanqiao to go!" Yuanqiao, who fell to the ground, immediately got up and grabbed the corner of Min Qingrou's clothes, and cried bitterly.

At this moment, the little girl's report suddenly came from outside the door.

"Concubine Rou, Concubine Shen is here to visit!"

When Min Qingrou heard this, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to the outside and said, "Please Sister Concubine Shen come in and talk!"

Yuan Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, also wiped his tears and got up to stand aside, but his face was still gloomy.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Shen Miaoling walked in with a worried look on her face and closed the door with her hand.

"Sister, are you okay? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? Are you going to scare Miaoling to death?"

After Min Qingrou left the banquet hall, Shen Miaoling was restless, maybe it was Min Qingrou's turmoil that really disturbed the interest of the prince, and it didn't take long for Situ Yue to get up and leave the table. The other concubines all felt bored after sitting for a while, and left one after another.

A good family banquet ended precedentedly early.

Shen Miaoling hurried to Poria Xuan, but saw that the door of Poria Xuan was closed, and after calling someone to report, she entered the courtyard gate.
