Chapter 299: The so-called henchman
Liu Shi laughed, "Sister Chu is blessed with a great life, how can she not be blessed, and looking at her this time, she can stand out among our ladies and conceive an heir, you know that she is a blessed person." "That beautiful face was filled with a smile that at first glance made people feel extremely sincere.
Xue Hainiang followed her words and looked thoughtful. "Having said that, people are alive, where can there be no natural and man-made disasters. ”
Liu Shi seemed to be smiling, "The side concubine Niangniang is really scary to think about it carefully when I listen to this." ”
When the two reached a fork in the road, they naturally parted ways.
Xue Hainiang, Ah Ling, and Juan'er returned to the house.
Juan'er still looked like she had low eyebrows, and after asking Xue Hainiang if she was bathing, she only felt that she went down to prepare hot water, and for a while, only Xue Hainiang and Ah Ling were left in the pavilion.
Xue Hainiang leaned on the chaise longue, supported her chin and tilted her head, looking sideways at the sky and stars outside the window. After a while, he came to his senses, but saw that Ah Ling was still the same as when he first entered the door, and he stayed there without moving.
"Why haven't you said a word for a long time?" Xue Hainiang smiled, she really felt that Ah Ling's appearance was a little cute.
Ah Ling was slightly stunned, and replied in a low voice: "The slave maid saw that the side concubine had been thinking about something, so she thought that she shouldn't come forward to disturb her. She paused, clarified her thoughts and followed Xue Hainiang's words: "Concubine Niangniang, but I think the Chu clan is a little tricky?"
A faint stream of light flashed over her eyes, Xue Hainiang shook her head lightly, and said, "She's not tricky, I just feel her attitude towards the child in her womb...... Too deliberate caution. ”
Ah Ling was puzzled, "Being a mother, and the child in her womb can bring her wealth and glory, it's normal for her to be cautious, isn't it?"
Xue Hainiang shook her head lightly, "...... It's just that Dr. Xu is just asking Dr. Xu to check the pulse, what kind of hands and feet can people move? She is so cautious, but it makes people suspicious. As he spoke, Yin Hong's lips gently raised a self-deprecating smile, "Maybe I think too bizarrely, maybe the Chu clan is such a cautious and timid person,"
Ah Ling asked with confusion in his heart, "It seems that Mrs. Liu is deliberately trying to lure you to get rid of the son in Mrs. Chu's womb, you must be careful." ”
Xue Hainiang sneered, "She may also be tempting, I want to see if I can be fooled as easily as she wishes." Facts have proved that this Qinghui Palace's mansion seems to be calm, and the ladies live together in harmony, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. ”
Ah Ling also agreed very much, bowed his head slightly, and his clear eyes were also oozing with a little sympathy, "I don't know if the emperor forced such a beautiful woman into the back house of Qinghui Wangfu, whether it was for the good of the prince, or whether he deliberately disturbed his mansion." ”
Xue Hainiang was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Fang Cai Liu seemed to mention that Nan Shuke rarely went in and out of the back house......
Did he also cause unnecessary entanglements for the sake of prevention?
But now, a stone finally fell into a pool of dark tide and turbulent lake, setting off a storm of waves.
Xue Hainiang smiled dimly, "Even if it is, it is a royal secret, how can outsiders find out?"
Ah Ling seems to understand whether she understands or not, but there is one thing she knows, the emperor has always treated His Royal Highness King Qinghui very well to the outside world, and relying too much on and favoring him is a well-deserved reason for His Royal Highness King Qinghui to become a well-deserved figure in the court.
Xue Hainiang rubbed her slightly swollen eyebrows, and said to Ah Ling with a smile: "You go down and rest first, and put aside today's affairs for the time being." ”
Ah Ling's face was surprised, and he asked directly: "But Concubine Side, you haven't bathed yet, the slave and maid should stay and serve." "How dare she leave Juan'er and Xue Hainiang here alone, that Juan'er is still Mrs. Liu's person now, and just when she was calculating the matter of the concubine to Mrs. Liu, she knew that the master and servant must have evil intentions.
Xue Hainiang threw a slightly confused look at her, "Since Juan'er wants to be strong, why do you have to deprive her of wishful thinking?" Xue Hainiang waved her hand and smiled, "You don't have to worry, she doesn't dare to harm me now, and now I still have some things that she needs to do indirectly for me." ”
Yin Hong's lips raised a strange and sly smile, Rao is Ah Ling, an ally who is on the same front as her, and he is still terrified and creepy when he looks at her.
"You have to be careful, concubine. Ah Ling left, but before leaving, he didn't forget to give him a careful advice, which really perfectly interpreted the word loyal servant.
Xue Hainiang also vividly interpreted the identity of a good master who was considerate of his subordinates, "In the future, don't be stupid to keep vigil alone, you don't need to do these tasks, you just need to watch the suspicious people in this backyard for me." ”
Ah Ling seemed to be extremely grateful to Dade, and respectfully owed the debt before leaving short.
Xue Hainiang leaned on the collapse again, tilting her head, but her eyes were a little erratic, just like her mood.
She didn't believe Juan'er, the reason was very simple, this person was Mrs. Liu's confidant, and she would not easily defect.
However, does she completely regard Ah Ling as a confidant? Not really.
Xue Hainiang thinks that she is a person with a very strong sense of defense, she doesn't believe in Juan'er, it should be, and she doesn't believe in Ah Ling. It's just that the two of them have different positions for the time being......
When Juan'er led her subordinates to come in with hot bath water, Xue Hainiang was sitting in front of the dresser, taking off the hairpin hosta on the bun one by one, and she didn't see a subordinate on her side and behind her, and in a trance, she had already seen Xue Hainiang's black hair hanging down to her waist, black and translucent, draped very obediently below her shoulders.
Xue Hainiang was the first to see Juan'er in a girl's costume from the brass-colored mirror, her red lips opened lightly, and she smiled lightly, "Why are you there?"
Juan'er came to her senses at this time, her lips fluttered, and she said, "The slave is just curious, where did Sister Ah Ling go?" At this point, it stands to reason that even if Ah Ling doesn't need to stay here to serve dinner, he should have prepared some snacks, or cleaned up the bed and bedding, why did he disappear?
Could it be that you went to the kitchen to pass on the snack? It shouldn't be, there are so many people in this backyard, just point this kind of thing to a subordinate to do.
Xue Hainiang smiled happily, "She didn't sleep well yesterday, and she is clumsy today, and this concubine is not as flexible as you, so you will stay and serve."
Juan'er first froze in place, and then her face was full of joy.
She originally thought that as soon as today's incident happened, Xue Hainiang would more or less have a bad problem with her, even if she didn't, she would never trust her like this......
Juan'er didn't think much about it, but felt that it must be her own cleverness that reduced Xue Hainiang's vigilance.
