After Xie Xun left, Qin Rushuang felt vaguely uneasy. She wanted to leave immediately, but she was soaked now and couldn't appear like this. Moreover, if he went back alone, Xie Xun's matter might be exposed again.
Those who are interested can speculate.
Another point is that the imperial court seems to be peaceful now, but as the emperor gets older and less energetic, he has become faintly sick in recent years.
Many people in the DPRK could no longer sit still.
However, Xie Xun holds the military power. How many people are waiting to seize the opportunity of Prince Huai's palace. Today's Da Wanlie incident has already attracted all the limelight. If there is another news that Xie Xun's family is uneasy, I'm afraid the imperial censor will be involved in his secrets tomorrow.
, will fly to the imperial study room like snowflakes.
Qin Rushuang is the most protective person.
No matter what kind of jokes are made about the affairs in the palace's back house, as a princess, they are matters that she should deal with behind closed doors. They are family matters.
But as soon as the door of Prince Huai's palace opened, she and Xie Xun became husband and wife, both prosperous and devastated.
She will never allow anything that damages King Huai's reputation to happen!
Before Qin Rushuang even realized it, she had already shouldered the burden of keeping the back house of Prince Huai's Mansion peaceful on her shoulders, and she had already regarded Prince Huai's Mansion as her home.
Qin Rushuang put on the coat left by Qingzhi and waited for a while, Qingzhi came back briskly.
"Princess, how about the hot spring bathing place..."
"Kneel down!" Qin Rushuang said sharply.
Qingzhi had never seen her master scold him so harshly. She was stunned for a second and quickly knelt down.
"Leave your post without permission and make your own decisions! This is what I taught you in the General's Mansion?!"
"Princess..." Qingzhi curled her lips, feeling a little unconvinced, "I want you to be alone with the prince for a while!"
Qin Rushuang rubbed her temples tiredly: "Did you know that the prince was drugged after you left, and I am pregnant now. If something happens..."
"Princess, are you okay?!" Qingzhi stood up almost immediately to check, feeling regretful and anxious, and tears began to fall: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
She really hated herself!
At this moment, Qingzhi was already sweating, but her mind was as clear as ever. She had indeed done something ridiculous!
If she were in the palace, surrounded by numerous guards, it wouldn't matter how she brought the princess and the prince together, but this was a hunting ground! In the wilderness, there were wild beasts and people with evil intentions. How could she be so confused!
Seeing that the maid she had grown up with was worried like this, she would be lying if she said she was not soft-hearted, but Qin Rushuang knew that she had to be ruthless to let Qingzhi grow up.
Although she was lucky enough to be reborn and had an insight into opportunities, with her rebirth, many original things also took a turn, and the time for her miscarriage has not yet come, so this life is not really safe. If things are unpredictable in the end, she will still
Just like a lifetime ago...
If she really leaves, what will this simple-minded little maid do?
Qin Rushuang still had a cold face and forced herself to calm down: "According to the rules of the palace, the punishment is half a year's monthly payment and twenty pieces of gold. Do you have any doubts?"
Qingzhi cried and shook his head: "No! I am willing to be punished! As long as the princess is well!"
Qin Rushuang sighed and gently wiped away her tears: "Okay, stop crying, go back first, it's not safe here. Let's talk about the punishment after we return to the palace."
Qingzhi wiped away her tears, said nothing, and began to help Qin Rushuang change clothes, but something in her eyes had changed.
After returning to the tent, Qingzhi boiled hot water for Qin Rushuang to bathe again, and made ginger tea to prevent the cold.
After everything was ready, it was already dark two hours later.
The master and servant finally talked about what happened today.
As for Xie Xun, Qin Rushuang is not in a hurry. The kind of medicine in the wilderness...
Just soak in the water for half an hour and you'll be fine. Xie Xun is strong and should be fine.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Qin Rushuang carefully recalled today's events and quickly concluded that this incident was definitely related to Qin Fanghao.
There is no other reason than that the timing of Linglong's appearance was too clever.
"Should we call people over directly?" Qingzhi said bitterly.
She never thought that her temporary kindness might harm her princess, so she naturally hated the master and servant in her heart.
Qin Rushuang originally wanted to go back to the house for further investigation, but was afraid that some evidence would be erased, so she nodded: "Go and call Qin Fanghao and Linglong, put away the ink jade bowl, and then let Cao Yin have a look to see if the prince is the middle-aged man."
What kind of medicine?"
In fact, she also knew that it was nothing more than charm medicine, but Xie Xun's state was so similar to the time when she and Xie Xun were plotted against each other. She must find out the truth.
Qingzhi took the order and left, but unexpectedly he missed the target.
When he came back, Qingzhi's face was full of doubts.
"Princess, the prince has returned, but...the prince ordered that the second lady and Linglong be sent back to the mansion."
Qin Rushuang's heart skipped a beat.
"Have you seen the prince? How...is he doing?"
Qingzhi nodded, "I saw it. The second lady's tent was already empty when I went there. The prince came out of his tent with all his clothes changed. He looked unhappy, but nothing else was abnormal."
"Princess, could it be that..." Qingzhi hesitated: "Could it be that the prince already knows about it, but he doesn't want to blame the second lady?"
Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes, it was indeed possible.
But there is another possibility...
"Qingzhi, hurry up, put that black jade away. No matter who asks, just tell me that I lost it on the way because I came back in a hurry."
Qingzhi was a little confused, but still agreed: "Okay, Princess."
But before Qingzhi could leave, the tent curtain had been lifted, and Xie Xun came in.
"How are you?" Xie Xun asked directly.
"It's nothing serious. Where is the prince?"
After Qin Rushuang asked, she looked straight at Xie Xun, trying to find any clues. Except that Xie Xun's face was a little cold, but everything else was the same as usual.
"Nothing, the water in that river... is very cold."
Qin Rushuang felt relieved and said, "Your Majesty, please remember to drink a bowl of ginger soup to avoid catching a cold."
"Yes." Xie Xun nodded: "Where's the black jade bowl? I'll show it to the imperial doctor to see what's in it."
It seems that Xie Xun also realized the problem.
Qin Rushuang glanced at Qingzhi, and Qingzhi said cheerfully: "My lord, I will go and get it now!"
Xie Xun's back, which had been tense, slowly relaxed.
When Qingzhi said this, Qin Rushuang was not in a hurry.
Sure enough, after half a stick of incense, Qingzhi came back sweating profusely, looking anxious: "Damn it, slave! I clearly remembered to put it in the basket! Why can't I find it! Could it be that I left it on the road? Is there something important from above?
Clues! Your Majesty! Can you ask the guards to look for them?"
Qin Rushuang frowned: "Hurry and look for it!"
Xie Xun's hands behind his back clenched his fists slightly, "I have ordered people to find him. You should have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After Xie Xun left, Qingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Princess, the black jade bowl is put away!"
Qin Rushuang nodded: "Well, not bad, I can also act."
Only in this way can Xie Xun believe that the bowl is really not with her.
"But Princess, how come... this slave can't understand? Do you and the Prince want to investigate this matter?"
