Chapter 33: The Hidden Knife in the Cotton
For a while, no one in the box spoke, only An Ruqing kept eating.
I have to say that the dishes of this Mingyue Building are delicious, and the price is high.
"My sister laughed, follow her father at home, marry her husband, how can there be a woman who doesn't love her husband? My sister is angry with me, and she can't say these angry words, in case she makes others take it seriously, it's not good. Luo Wenxi pretended to be sensible and took all the responsibility on himself.
She glanced at Mo Nanchen and wanted to see the approval in his eyes, but unfortunately after watching it for a long time, there was nothing else in his eyes except An Ruqing's figure.
"I see." The third prince raised his wine glass with a smile and toasted Mo Nanchen with a glass of wine: "There are many women in this backyard, there are many rights and wrongs, it all depends on how the men coordinate, if there is a bias, it will definitely not work." ”
He had also heard of the shitty things in Mo Nanchen's backyard, plus when he met An Ruqing before, there was only one maid by her side, and she didn't even bring a guard, and the princess was actually blocked into the alley by a few ruffians!
If you think about it with your toes, you know that An Ruqing's situation in the palace must be very difficult.
"Instead of staring at my backyard, the third prince should think about the Hubu Shangshu, I remember that he had a son who injured someone a few days ago, and the case has not yet been tried." Mo Nanchen glanced at him, and there was something in his words.
Like the prime minister, the Hubu Shangshu is a staunch party of the three princes.
Now at this juncture, if the three princes help, then there is a suspicion of forming a gang, if they don't help, I am afraid that their henchmen will be cold.
An Ruqing heard that there was something in their words, and she hid a knife in her mouth, so she didn't want to stay any longer, so she quickly ate a few bites, and then put down her chopsticks to cover her stomach, with a painful face: "Lord Wang, my stomach hurts so much." ”
Xiao Ying's heart was clear, and she immediately stepped forward to support the young lady, poured water again, beat her back again, and almost cried out in a hurry: "Lord Wang, my young lady is an old problem, I have also asked Lang Zhong to see it before, there is no way to treat this disease, it can only be raised slowly, every time I have an unbearable stomachache, I need to rest in bed." ”
For her performance, An Ruqing just wants to give a thumbs up, which is also fantastic.
Not only did he find a reason for his own openness, but he didn't say it to death, and he could use this excuse next time.
Mo Nanchen was busy dealing with the third prince, and nodded directly: "Since this is the case, you can go back first, so that you can recuperate." ”
After An Ruqing left, the atmosphere between him and the third prince became even more tense, and Luo Wenxi saw this situation and offered to avoid it.
Since ancient times, it has been a woman in the backyard who does not touch political affairs, and she takes the initiative to leave, and she can still leave a sensible impression in front of the prince.
She deliberately waited at the door, not daring to go far, for fear that she would not see anyone when the prince wanted to see her.
At this time, An Ruqing had already walked out of the restaurant and walked around with Xiaoying, wanting to buy some snacks to take back.
"Miss, the front is Wufang Zhai, their family's lo-mei is a must, before you were out of the pavilion, you said every day that you wanted to eat his family's lo-mei!" Suddenly, Xiao Ying stretched out her hand and pointed ahead.
The shop of Wufangzhai is not big, but the taste is very good, and it is very popular with the people in the capital.
"Yes, then you have to taste everything you say today, and you can do it without getting tired of eating, no wonder business will be so good." An Ruqing immediately decided to buy more and take it back.
Ordinary lo-mei, I will get tired of eating it for a few days, how can I eat it every day?
Xiao Ying's footsteps suddenly stopped, looked at her own young lady, and showed a bitter face: "Miss, you forgot, we didn't have much silver before, and we couldn't afford lo-mei at all." ”
The prime minister doesn't pay attention to the young lady, and even those minions are disobedient, and they will deduct the food and clothing of the young lady at will, if the young lady doesn't give them a reward, they won't do anything!
"Your monthly salary, except for rewarding the minions, is barely enough to buy a few clothes, and you can't even afford a better hairpin.
An Ruqing was silent, it turned out that it was not that the lo-mei was delicious, but that the original body was too miserable.
Something that can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, even if the taste is a little inferior, will gradually become beautiful in the heart over time.
It's not so much that the original body thinks about eating lo-mei every day, but she wants to live a little better, such a person who lacks love, no wonder she will regard Mo Nanchen as salvation and pounce on him with all her heart.
"Let's go, I brought some silver with me when I came out, and I have enough lo-mei tubes today." An Ruqing sighed, this lo-mei should be eaten for the original body.
After buying the lo-mei, An Ruqing took a bite of it, the taste was really good, and her lips and teeth were fragrant.
While eating, she caught a glimpse of several people in black walking in the direction of Mingyue Tower, and soon disappeared into the crowd, these people were fully armed, only showing two eyes, which was not a good thing at first glance.
Mo Nanchen and the third prince are now in the restaurant, could it be that these people are rushing over to them?
"Xiaoying, let's go back to the restaurant immediately, I'm in danger!" An Ruqing directly threw the lo-mei aside, pulled Xiaoying and ran back.
Xiao Ying was stunned, but before she could react: "Miss, aren't you okay now?" ”
"If the dog prince dies, won't I give him a burial?" An Ruqing became more and more anxious.
She ran outside the restaurant and looked around, and sure enough, these men in black were hiding next to them, obviously preparing an ambush.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Xiao Ying was so frightened that her legs kept trembling and she almost cried.
They were two weak women, and they were clearly no match for these assassins.
"Otherwise, let's hurry up and report to the official, and let the people from the government come and arrest the assassin!"
An Ruqing shook her head: "If you go to report to the official now, it will definitely be too late." ”
No one knows when these assassins will make a move, in case they have just left on their front feet, they will rush up directly, and when the people from the government come, they can just collect the body of the dog prince.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to go up and remind her in person.
"Xiao Ying, you go back to the palace first, it's safer there." An Ruqing was afraid that the assassin would injure her by mistake and asked her to go first.
Xiao Ying shook her head and followed her: "I am Miss's maid, so naturally I have to accompany Miss, if I encounter danger, I will run, then it is better for Miss to solve me now!" ”
Although she is useless, she will never leave the young lady alone.
An Ruqing knew that she was loyal, so she didn't say anything more, pulled her and ran into the restaurant, and was stopped by Luo Wenxi, who was waiting on the side, after only a few steps.
Luo Wenxi thought that she was here to seduce the prince, so she came up and mocked her directly, eager to drive people away directly.
"Sister, don't you have a stomachache, have you already gone back to the palace? Why are you running in such a hurry? It's really not elegant at all, it's unseemly, let others see it, maybe they think that our palace has no rules. ”
