It's just that Xue Xi at this moment has no heart to care about the things behind, if she doesn't go out from here, I'm afraid she won't have a future, where can she take care of anything else. It's just that when Xiao Qiyao walked out of the house with Xue Xi in his arms, Qin Rui and Yang Fan and even most of the little maids in the house were by the door, and they were all stunned when they saw the two of them.

"There is a strange man in Aunt Xue's room?" the crowd didn't know who called for a change. Suddenly, the whole courtyard seemed to explode, and those little maids pointed at Xue Xi and Xiao Qiyao, exchanged heads and whispered.

"This Aunt Xue is really bold, she dares to openly cuckold the prince. Someone lowered his voice.

"You be quiet, you didn't see the prince's face. Someone gently tugged at the person who spoke, but the corner of his eye was in the direction where Qin Rui was, and suddenly the person who spoke was silent, shrugged his shoulders slightly, but his eyes kept sweeping over Xue Xi, Xiao Qiyao and Qin Rui, and the meaning was only understood by themselves.

However, Xue Hai didn't care about the actions of these little girls and maids in secret, his whole heart was on Xue Xi, who was carried out by Xiao Qiyao, he had been worried that something would happen to her, but now he finally came out, he hurriedly stepped forward and took Xue Xi's hand, looked up and down, and asked eagerly, "Xi'er, how are you, are you okay?"

"No, no need, brother, I'm fine!" Finally escaped death, Xue Xi swallowed his saliva with difficulty and shook his head. It's just that she didn't have time to take a breath, and suddenly heard Qin Rui's cold words, "Xiao Qiyao, Xue Xi, hum! What a pair of adulterers and adulteresses, this king will not just forget this matter, Yang Fan locked Xue Xi in Meng Yuan, and no one was allowed to visit without the king's order, let alone take half a step out of the door." Xiao Qiyao, this king is waiting for your explanation!"

"Yes!" Yang Fan, who had been standing next to him for a long time, immediately responded, his voice powerful and sonorous.

Xue Xi suddenly realized Qin Rui's existence, turned his head and saw Qin Rui's ugly face, and suddenly felt that his sky was about to fall. Her thin lips snorted slightly, and she swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and it took a long time for her body to tremble slightly, and she rushed towards Qin Rui, "No, it's not like this, Brother Rui, you listen to my explanation, it's not like this, it's really not like this! Brother Rui, Brother Rui ......"

However, being carried out by a big man in front of everyone's eyes, if you want to say that they have nothing, no one really believes it. After all, this is not a blue sky and a white day, who doesn't sleep at night? But this Xiao Qiye ran to the Regent's Mansion, if he said that he went wrong, then how could he just go to Aunt Xue's room? What will happen if this lonely man and widow stay in the house? I can think of it with my toes, not to mention, the few maids who arrived in front of me looked at Xue Hai and Xue Xi whispering, no wonder they saw Steward Xue when they arrived, it turned out to be for Aunt Xue to let off the wind, tsk.

"Brother Rui, listen to me, I really don't have ......."

But Qin Rui didn't listen, he didn't even stop his footsteps, and the whole person walked out of the courtyard directly and walked outside; Xue Xi sat on the ground paralyzed, as if his whole body had lost his strength, crying so heartbreakingly, his liver and intestines were broken. It's just that no one present sympathizes with her, after all, Xue Xi doesn't rely on the piece of meat in his stomach to show off his power on weekdays.

Xue Hai only felt very distressed when he looked at it, turned his head to stare at the house that was still full of smoke, and his face was ugly, "Come on, go and find out what's going on?" This good house, how can you say that the fire is on fire, but it is still at such a time; I don't know why, he always has a bad premonition in his heart, he just turned his head and looked at Yang Fan quickly, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality;

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that. Xue Xi was panicked at the moment, where did he still have the heart to think about how to calculate Gu Jinxi.

"Aunt Xue, are you going to go by yourself, or do you want the little one to take you away?" The smile on Yang Fan's face was faint, revealing a very obvious taste of mockery, and his eyes were half-narrowed, and the tails of his eyes were frivolous.

Xue Xi didn't like Yang Fan in the first place, but when he heard Yang Fan's words at this moment, his eyes suddenly widened. Raised his head sharply and looked at Yang Fan, pointed at him, and said viciously, "You calculated me, isn't it, isn't it? No, I want Brother Rui, I want to see Brother Rui! Yang Fan, you will be retributed, you think that she will be grateful to you if you help Gu Jinxi like this, haha, let me tell you, you are just a dog of Brother Rui, what are you doing." That Gu Jinxi is just using Brother Rui, you will regret it, you will regret it!" She was in a frenzy at the moment, and the two maids who were originally instructed by Yang Fan to step forward also stopped suddenly, standing there helplessly, looking at each other.

The corners of Yang Fan's mouth hooked obliquely, and he let out a soft snort from his nose, the smile on his face was faint, and his tone was ancient, "Will I regret it, Aunt Xue, you don't have to worry about it, you, let's please!"

"Yang Fan, don't go too far!" Seeing this, Xue Hai's eyes flashed, and his tone was not good.

"Excessive? This is what the master personally ordered, if the big housekeeper Xue has any opinions, go directly to the master to talk to him. Yang Fan didn't even put Xue Hai in his eyes at all. Not to mention that this Xue Xi is not her own father's woman at all, even if she is just a mere aunt, she dares to rely on her own in-depth research to show off her power, and even bully the person who is on the tip of her own father's heart.

"Yang Fan, you lackey!" Xue Xi's whole person became more and more crazy, constantly fluttering and tossing.

"Sister!" Seeing Xue Xi's increasingly excited expression, Xue Hai's eyes stared at Xue Xi's stomach, only to feel that his heart was in his throat. It took a long time to speak, and he snorted softly with a little helplessness, and then tightly suppressed Xue Xi in his words, leaned over her ear, lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sister, don't be excited, the child is important!" As long as this child is still there, no matter what method is used at that time, as long as it is proved that this child is the prince's, then the prince will not be able to ignore her. What's more, Concubine An is still on her side.

Hearing the child, Xue Xi calmed down a little, and raised his head to look at Xue Hai with a pale face, "Brother, I, I ......"

"Good, don't get excited, the prince will figure it out. Xue Hai raised his hand and gently combed Xue Xi's broken hair in front of his forehead, his voice was very gentle, with a smile, "You follow Yang Fan to Mengyuan first, remember to take care of your body." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Fan, "Anyway, Xi'er is still pregnant with the prince's child in her belly, Yang Fan, should you also be polite?"

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but the whole courtyard was like day, and all the people did not feel the slightest sleep.

Yang Fan's face was expressionless, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a little vague taste, the tails of his eyes were lightly raised, with a little mockery, and he snorted softly from his nose, and his tone was not good, "The prince's child? Hmph, is this the prince's or unknown." I'm just doing what the prince tells me, Aunt Xue, please!"

"Brother!" Xue Xi was still very scared in his heart, Meng Yuan had heard of that place before, there were several maids who lived where they died inexplicably, and then they were abandoned, and it became a complete abandoned garden; Brother Rui really hated himself, so he even locked her up wherever he didn't care about his body.

"Good, don't worry!" Xue Hai gently patted Xue Xi's shoulder and glared at Yang Fan angrily, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Yang Fan, you'd better pray that you will always be so smooth sailing." ”

"Then I will borrow the auspicious words of your Great Butler Xue. The corners of Yang Fan's mouth hooked obliquely, and he said to the two maids behind, "Take it away!" It's just that when he was leaving, he specially glanced at Xiao Qiyao, who was standing next to him, with an expressionless face and calm eyes, and the smile on his face was faint, "It's not too early, Xiao Qiye, please go back, but don't forget to give an explanation to our prince!"

The corners of Xiao Qiyao's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was no smile on his face, so he looked at Yang Fan quietly, "Well, I'll find time to talk to the regent about this matter." ”

"Seventh Master, you ......" As soon as the words fell, Xue Hai suddenly felt that his heart was in his throat. If Xiao Qiyao really told his prince what happened, then let alone Xue Xi at that time, even he would be implicated, and then there would be no one to plan for their brothers and sisters. Thinking like this, his already sunken heart suddenly hung in his throat, no, no, it seems that he must do something.

"It's not too early, I'll leave first, don't send it!" Xiao Qiyao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, staring at the door that was still full of smoke, I don't know why I always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Who Qin Rui is, he knows too well, the twists and turns in that person's heart are not something that ordinary people can understand at all.

The protagonists of the gossip of the incident left one after another, and these little maids and maids only felt bored, fetching water and extinguishing the fire; although it was said that it was spring, it was still cold in the middle of the night, and everyone was in a hurry, looking at the room that was still emitting white smoke, and they all resigned themselves to their fate and began to be busy. Fortunately, the fire in this house was not very large, and when it was almost dawn, the fire was finally brought under control.

The next day, the weather was fine and the sky was clear.

The spring breeze warmed up, combined with the bright sunshine, shining on the entire shallow pavilion.

Gu Jinxi leaned lazily on the railing, condescendingly looking at the banks of the artificial lake, the green wicker was constantly swaying with the wind, the smile on his face was shallow, and he knew that he heard the footsteps and laughter of Banxia and Qingdai, so he turned his head leisurely, "The sun is coming out in the west today, why is our family Banxia so happy?

"Hehe, of course it's a good thing. Banxia smiled with crooked eyebrows, put the tray in her hand on the coffee table, put the pastries and hot tea on it for Gu Jinxi to put in front of her, the movements in her hands did not stop, and her mouth did not stop, she looked at Gu Jinxi, and even her voice was dyed with a bit of cheerful taste, "Miss, you don't know, now the whole cold is spreading, and the Regent's Mansion was on fire last night." ”

Gu Jinxi held the teacup in both hands, dialed the lid of the tea, brought it to his lips, and was about to drink tea when he heard Banxia's words, he immediately raised his head, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement, "Is the Regent's Mansion on fire?" This voice was full of disbelief, what kind of person is Qin Rui, even if he doesn't like to go back, but the Regent Palace, after all, how could the Regent Palace's Mansion be on fire so easily.

"That's not it!" the smile on Banxia's face still didn't change.

"The Regent's Mansion is on fire, why are you so happy?" Gu Jinxi lowered his head, and after taking several sips, he had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all, and pointed at Banxia angrily, "At present, everyone regards the regent as a flood beast, and you are the only girl, who dares to take pleasure in this, be careful that you are the next to be beheaded." ”

Banxia pouted, her face was a little dissatisfied, "How can anyone have it, if the young lady is here, the prince will not trouble the slave!" Although I don't know why Qin Rui treated his own young lady so much in the previous time, and even accepted Xue Xi as an aunt, not to mention, but also made Xue Xi pregnant. However, seeing that he didn't pity Aunt Xue at all that day, she thought that maybe he had any hardships. But in any case, the regent's feelings for his own young lady are genuine.

"You girl!" Gu Jinxi shook her head a little helplessly, but her eyelids drooped, hiding a few traces of doubt and deep thought in her eyes.

Looking at her own young lady's slightly worried gaze, Qing Dai, who was standing next to her, shook her head helplessly, and glared at Banxia angrily, this girl couldn't even speak, her voice was a little shallow and a little crisp, "Miss, you don't have to worry, I heard from the people outside, it was only where Xue Xi lived that caught fire, and it had nothing to do with the prince." ”

"Oh?" Gu Jinxi heard this, and took small sips of tea, but the tail note was slightly raised, as if he was a little interested.

"That's it, miss, you don't know, I heard that Xue Xi's yard was on fire at that time, guess what?" Banxia glanced at Gu Jinxi as if he was deliberately selling off, and then continued, "I heard that Xue Xi was actually picked up from the room by a big man." The prince got angry on the spot and locked up Xue Xi. The slave and maid said that this lonely man and widow in the middle of the night could not guarantee whose child belonged to her womb. ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Although Gu Jinxi was also very puzzled, this Xue Xi showed that he cared about Qin Rui very much; no, it couldn't be said that he cared anymore, but he was possessive. He even didn't hesitate to make things difficult for Qin Rui several times, how could he have a tryst with the man in the room in the middle of the night. was told whether she would do this, and even if she could, she would not choose to be in the Regent's Palace, which was a little bolder. She didn't think as simple as the two girls, this matter was too strange, and there must be some unknown joints in it.

Banxia pursed her mouth angrily, "Originally, wouldn't she dare to do it?"

"Okay, just take care of yourself. The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was faint, "By the way, you will go to Shuixie Tinglan later, yesterday I saw that Xiao Zi'an's physical condition was not very good, Qingdai, you take the time to go to Song Mansion and let Grandpa Song come over." ”

The two maids hurriedly lowered their heads in response.

In the Regent's Palace, it was also very unpeaceful.

Concubine An, who has been confined to Rong'en Pavilion since she completely fell out with Qin Rui, is sitting on the soft couch at this moment, her face is ugly, black as the bottom of a pot, she is holding the armrest of the seat tightly, her chest is rising and falling, and her other hand slaps the small incense table next to her, making a crisp sound of "bang", "It's too much!"

"Please concubine Niang Mingjian. Xi'er's heart for the prince can be learned, and the sun and the moon can be revealed. This incident was really just an accident, but the prince actually ordered Xi'er to be locked up in Meng Yuan. Xue Hai stood in front of Concubine An, bowing his head so that people could not see the expression on his face, but his tone was very respectful, and his voice was sincere and pleading, "Ask the concubine to save Xi'er, then Meng Yuan was originally several maids who died in it for no reason, so many years no one took care of it, it has long become a deserted garden, how can a weak woman bear such yin qi, not to mention that Xi'er is still pregnant with the prince's child in her belly!" His words were earnest, and his whole body seemed to tremble slightly, and his face was full of pleading. Since that incident happened last night, he went back to his room and thought about it for a long time. If there is anyone in the entire Regent's Mansion who can change the decision of his prince, this person is only Concubine An. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that maybe he would have more hope if he begged Gu Jinxi, but how could Gu Jinxi speak for the sake of Xi'er, they are now rivals in love!

Concubine An's eyes were half-narrowed, and a fierce color quickly crossed the bottom of her eyes, and she almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth viciously, "Rui'er, he really treats Xi'er so much?

"Thank you Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang's great kindness, the two slave brothers and sisters must be remembered in their hearts, and they will not forget. Xue Hai lowered his head, his face seemed to be a little excited, "The prince has been in the plum garden since the incident happened last night, and the slave will go and invite!"

Concubine An stopped at Xue Hai, "Go!"

When Xue Hai arrived at the Plum Garden, Yang Fan happened to take two family members who looked at him with extraordinary strength and escorted a decently dressed maid and just walked in front of Qin Rui, without even having time to say a word.

Xue Hai was worried about his precious sister, and he just wanted to let Xue Xi move out of that weird Meng Garden as soon as possible, and he didn't care about his doubts and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, the concubine is invited." ”

"Oh?" Qin Rui's mouth was slightly hooked, and his eyes were half-squinted and quickly swept over a fierce color, but he quickly returned to normal, got up, and gently dusted off the non-existent dust on the hem of his shirt, and then said to Xue Hai, "Since my mother has something to do with me, let's go." ”

"This, the prince, that she ......" Yang Fan turned his head to look at the person he had just caught, with a little doubt on his face.

"Let's just take it to Rong'en Pavilion together. The smile on Qin Rui's face was faint, and he turned his head to Yang Fan and said, "This matter is related to Xue Xi, so I invited Xue Xi to come too, and when I didn't get it, I said that we wronged her." ”

Feeling the deep meaning contained in Qin Rui's words, Xue Hai's body suddenly stiffened, and his thin lips snorted slightly, but he didn't say a word in the end; he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, only to feel that his heart was hanging in his throat, could it be that the prince already knew what they had done? Xiao Qiyao really told him? No, impossible, if Xiao Qiyao said it, he would also not be able to eat and walk around at that time, so what is the prince's reaction now?

From the plum garden to the Rong'en Pavilion, it is only about half a minute away.

When he saw Concubine An, Qin Rui's originally expressionless face was finally dyed with a little smile, his voice was shallow, and he seemed to be a little puzzled, "I heard that you are looking for me, I don't know why?"

"Hmph!" Concubine An glared at Qin Rui angrily, some things no matter how private the relationship between the two of them was, on the surface, they couldn't be too stiff; she swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and just opened her mouth to mention Xue Xi's matter, but her eyes unexpectedly saw the maid who was followed behind Yang Fan and was escorted by the two family members, and she immediately became angry, her eyes glared at Qin Rui viciously, raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the maid, and her tone was not good, "Rui'er, what do you mean by this?"

When Xue Hai heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the maid. Because Concubine An had just returned home, he didn't know much about the maids around her, so he didn't recognize them too much; after hearing Concubine An's words, he seemed to be faintly aware of this, how could this maid be so similar to the maids around Concubine An before.

The expression on Qin Rui's face still didn't change at all, he just looked at Concubine An quietly, "I guess you already know about the fire in the Yaotai residence where Xue Xi lived last night." We just caught an arsonist, mother, why did you react so much, is this matter ......" The latter words don't need to be said too clearly, and they know each other.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Concubine An suddenly turned pale, and took off the cotton cloth stuffed in the maid's mouth, her eyes were round, and a thick fire burst out, "Zhihe, what the hell is going on?"

Zhihe's thin lips snorted slightly, but he didn't say anything, just lowered his head, biting his lower lip tightly with his teeth, and his face was ugly.

"Zhihe, you speak!" These people were all brought back by her from Yunzhen Mountain, but now they are happening one after another, Concubine An is so angry in her heart, her hands tightly grasp Zhihe's shoulders, "Zhihe, you speak, what is going on?" Looking at Zhihe's silent appearance, he turned his head to look at Qin Rui, and the expression on his face was already a little ruthless and resolute, "Did you do it?"

The expression on Qin Rui's face did not change, he just looked at Concubine An so quietly, and didn't say anything, but Yang Fan, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it, and said, "Concubine Niangniang, Miss Zhihe is suspected of deliberately setting fire to frame Aunt Xue last night, this matter Miss Zhihe has already admitted to herself, and it has nothing to do with the prince!"

"What?" As soon as he finished speaking, two different voices rang out in the room at the same time.

Concubine An had a thick disbelief on her face, so she turned her head to look at Zhihe in a daze, and kept shaking her head, "No, no, no." ”

Xue Hai's eyes widened, but with a thick anger, "Why did you do this, why did you frame Xi'er, you said! But in the end, he was not completely dizzy, lowered his eyelids, with Qin Rui and Concubine An here, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but why was this matter so coincidental. Is it really a coincidence, or is someone doing it on purpose?

When Mei Hong and Mei Xiang helped Xue Xi to Rong En Pavilion, they just heard those words. There was a deep excitement and disbelief in her eyes, "Zhihe! It's you, it's you, why are you doing this, why, why?"

"Hmph!" Zhihe, who had been keeping his head down and his face expressionless, saw Xue Xi, but a touch of disdain and contempt flashed across his eyes, looking at her pitiful and innocent appearance, he felt a chill pass through his heart.

Feeling Zhihe's cold eyes, Xue Xi only felt a little unacceptable, "Zhihe, you ......" Why, why did things turn out like this, Mingming, Mingming's relationship was very good before. When she was in Yunzhen Mountain, she really didn't understand the relationship that came together like that, was it because she became Brother Rui's aunt and she had a bad child, so she changed her mind, or did she also like Brother Rui?

"Don't think that everyone is as dirty as you!" After living together for so many years, they basically only need one look and one action to know what each other thinks in their hearts. Zhihe is the least verbal of their sisters, but at the same time, she is also the most transparent, but she never thought that Xue Xi would be such a person.

When Xue Xi heard this, he kept shaking his head, with a thick disbelief in his eyes, "Zhihe, you...... Why do you say that, you ......" said as tears fell down the corners of his eyes.

"Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?" Concubine An's face suddenly calmed down, looking at the appearance of Zhihe and Xue Xi, she exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and said seriously.

Qin Rui was also silent, just looked at Concubine An in a daze, "If there is a misunderstanding, let Zhihe and Xue Xi explain to you by themselves." In fact, the child also wants to know, what is going on?"

"Zhihe and a few of them have always been like sisters, she will definitely not do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding here, it must be!" Concubine An took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and the old lady standing next to her hurriedly raised her hand to give her a smooth breath, patted her on the back, and comforted her, "Concubine Niang is angry, Concubine Niang, don't be too excited." Your body is not good in the first place, and last time Dr. Song specially instructed you not to be angry. The prince has always been filial, and he will definitely find out the matter. ”

Yang Fan looked at this appearance, and glanced at the two family members on the spot, and the two family members immediately let go of Zhihe, but to their surprise, Zhihe, who was freed, actually knelt down directly in front of Concubine An, and bowed to Concubine An in a dignified and humble manner, and then said, "The concubine doesn't need to explain to Zhihe, this matter is done by Zhihe, and Zhihe does things alone, and has nothing to do with others." ”

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that. Xue Xi stood next to him, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, if it weren't for Mei Hong and Mei Xiang supporting him, I am afraid that the whole person would have fallen to the ground.

Xue Hai only felt that his heart was in his throat, and looking at Qin Rui's indifferent expression, his heart couldn't help but sink again; thinking of the scene last night, could it be that the prince really suspected that there was something to do between Xi'er and Xiao Qiyao?

Concubine An's face was also full of disbelief, she kept shaking her head, "Zhihe, why are you doing this, you ......" The expression of hatred for iron and steel only makes people feel sad when they see it.

"Zhihe, I treat you like a sister on weekdays, why do you want to hurt me, why?" Xue Xi also didn't understand why such a thing happened, obviously their previous relationship was so good, but why did she want to kill herself. Yesterday's fire, if it weren't for Xiao Qiye's coming, she would have fallen asleep, I'm afraid that after being discovered, she would have already been burned to death by the fire.

Zhihe lowered his head when he heard this, with a full sneer and anger on his face, and his tone was full of disdain and contempt, "Love like sisters?" haha, haha...... Xue Xi, you can still say such shameless words without changing your face! Aren't you sorry?"

"......" Xue Xilian shook his head with deep disbelief.

"How did Zhiwei die?" Zhihe didn't plan to sell Guanzi, raised his head and waited for Xue Xi fiercely, with a thick question, "You say, how did Zhiwei die?"

Xue Xilian was full of doubts and puzzlement, "No, I only found out about this matter two days ago, I didn't know about Wei'er's accident at all, I ......"

"Enough!" Zhihe stared at Xue Xi's face with full disdain, and seemed to be as cold as a thousand years of ice, "Don't pretend anymore, people are watching the sky, Xue Xi you will always be punished." ”

Concubine An also had a little disbelief on her face when she heard this, looked at Xue Xi, and then at Zhihe, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her face was gloomy, and even her tone was full of incomprehension. are all maids who have served themselves for many years, and they really don't know who to favor in this heart, "Zhihe, Zhiwei committed suicide in fear after being caught stealing, how could she have anything to do with Xi'er, this ......"

"Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid and Zhiwei have served you for so many years, if Zhiwei is really greedy for money, why didn't you do it when she was in Yunzhen Mountain?" After all, when they were in Yunzhen Mountain, Concubine An's jewelry and jade were all placed in the room, and it was not like in the Regent's Mansion, where so many people watched at any time, and it was too easy to get one or two pieces. Concubine An has a lot of jewelry, where can I remember it.

When Concubine An heard this, she was stunned, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

Zhihe lowered his head, the smile on his face was faint, and he laughed softly, "Zhiwei told me two days before the accident, and now Xue Xi, she is the high-ranking Aunt Xue, but she is pregnant, and the prince's room is empty, she said that instead of cheapening others, it is better to arrange her own sisters." The slave and maid knew their fate, accepted their fate, and did not think about the prince, and once persuaded Zhiwei, but Zhiwei insisted on going her own way. On that day, she was very happy to come to the slave and maid, saying that Aunt Xue had promised to recommend her to the prince, she was so happy, so happy, but within two days, Zhiwei had an accident, Niangniang, do you really think this is a coincidence?"

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that. Xue Xi kept shaking her head, she was angry with Gu Jinxi when she bought Zhiwei to let her go to Wuyuan, and suppressed the arrogance of the Gu family; Zhiwei also mentioned that she wanted to be Qin Rui's woman, but she didn't take this matter to heart, and then she didn't know about Zhiwei's accident.

"Isn't it? Hmph, you have kept the things of the concubine Niangniang for so many years, why are those jade bracelets in Zhiwei's place?" Zhihe looked at Xue Xi and kept shaking his head, "Xue Xi, you are really terrible." ”

Seeing this, Xue Xi felt the disdain and suspicion from the people around her, she only felt a chill down her spine, especially the suspicion of Concubine An and Qin Rui, she immediately panicked, "No, it's not like this." Brother Rui, madam, you believe me, I really don't, I don't!"

"Hmph, Xue Xi, do you think the prince will believe you again?" Zhihe lowered his head and smiled stupidly. The laughter was crazy, cold and hard, and full of coldness, "These days, you have relied on your pregnancy to show off your power everywhere, who in the mansion has not been reprimanded by you? Even the young lady of the Gu family in Wuyuan is not less angry with you." When Zhiwei went to Wuyuan, do you dare to say that you didn't instruct her to deliberately anger the Gu family, so that the Gu family and the prince would turn their faces?"

Xue Xi suddenly swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his body swayed, and he kept shaking his head, "No, I, I ......"

"It's still the same sentence, people are doing it, the sky is watching, Xue Xi, you will be retributed!" Zhihe knelt on the ground, the whole person suddenly laughed, looked at Xue Xi, and kept shaking his head, "No, you have already been retributed." Do you know whose piece of meat you have in your belly? Haha, haha......"

"No, no, no. Brother Rui, madam, listen to me, I don't, I really ......" Xue Xi suddenly became anxious, his whole body staggered, and he wanted to walk towards Qin Rui, but he was shocked by the coldness on Qin Rui's face. Tears have already flowed like a river bursting its banks.

"Isn't it?" Qin Rui lowered his head, snorted lightly at the corners of his mouth, and looked at Xue Xi, "Then you tell this king, what did Xiao Qiyao do when he was ugly last night?" The corners of his mouth were hooked, and all the emotions in his eyes were exhausted, with a faint taste of mockery, "Don't tell this king, lonely men and widows are in the same room, just to chat and relieve boredom!"

"I, I'm ......" Xue Xi suddenly couldn't say a word, did she want to say that she invited Xiao Qiyao to come to frame Gu Jinxi? If she said so, it was estimated that Qin Rui would be even more angry.

"Why, can't you say it?" Qin Rui looked at Xue Xi coldly, "Hmph, I thought you were sincere to this king and would be a good girl, but I didn't want to have such a dirty mind." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Concubine An, "Do you still have any questions about this matter?" If there is no doubt, Yang Fan will send people back to Meng Yuan, wait for the child to be born, and drop blood for a blood test!"

The four words slashed at Xue Xi's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Brother Rui, he really doubted himself, he really doubted what he had to do with Xiao Qiyao, how could he, how could he doubt himself?

Concubine An was also stunned by the news she just knew, took a deep breath, and couldn't say a word.

Xue Hai, who was standing next to him, saw this, but he didn't understand why things had become like this. Hearing Qin Rui's words, his heart suddenly hung directly in his throat, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Think twice, Lord Wang!"

"Oh?" Qin Rui looked at Xue Hai coldly, his eyes seemed to be a little contemptuous and disdainful, and his eyebrows were raised, "What else do you want to say?"

Xue Hai lowered his head, pursed his thin lips slightly, and lowered his eyelids, "Lord Wang, Meng Yuan has been abandoned for a long time, and the yin qi is too heavy, so I regret it...... Aunt Xue is still pregnant now, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Can you please ask the prince to let Aunt Xue go back to Yaotai Pavilion and wait for the child to be born...... After all, others only looked at Xue Xi being carried out of the room by Xiao Qiyao at that time, so they suspected what happened to the two of them. But he understood very well that the relationship between the two was even clearer than Qing Shui, and the child in Xue Xi's belly could not be someone else's. As long as the child is born, when the prince is happy and the concubine is happy, this matter will be directly over.

It's just that he thought very well, but Concubine An was silent, Qin Rui's face was also ugly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at Xue Hai with a smile. Xue Hai, who looked at it with such a meaningful look, only felt that his scalp was numb, as if there was a cool breeze running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he suddenly felt that his back was stiff.

"Then what do you mean by this, this king has been brought to a green hat, so why do you have to help someone raise a son?" Qin Rui's cold and thin lips opened and closed slightly, but the words he said made Xue Xi only feel that his heart was completely cold.

She kept shaking her head, her throat was dry and hoarse, her thin lips opened and closed slightly, but she couldn't say anything, but her heart was constantly roaring, not like this, not like this. She held her lower abdomen tightly, only felt a pain in her lower abdomen, but she couldn't say anything, her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans on her forehead kept falling.

Seeing this, Xue Hai immediately became anxious, with a thick expression of worry on his face, and his voice was hurried, "Aunt Xue, are you okay?"

"It hurts, it hurts, my stomach hurts!" Xue Xi only felt the pain in his lower abdomen, as if his whole body had lost his strength, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and forced the pain to press most of the weight of his body on Mei Hong's body.
