Now, Yun Ruhui is grounded, Xiao Yao is bedridden, and there is no one to take care of things. Only a few close associates around Xiao Yao are left to help him take care of the reception.
When they saw Qin Zhen, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, even though this person was already at the door, they did not dare to open their mouths and rush away.
After all, the scene of Qin Zhen leading the black-armored guards to forcefully break into the Fourth Prince's Mansion is still fresh in my mind.
They could only welcome Qin Zhen in and quickly go in to report to Xiao Yao.
When Qin Zhen entered Xiao Yao's room, Xiao Yao had already sat up with the help of his servants and was half leaning on the bedside to look over.
Qin Zhen smiled, stepped forward and stood beside the bed, and asked, "How are you?"
Xiao Yao looked at her steadily: "You came here to see if I'm dead? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm not dead yet."
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "What are you talking about? I'm here today, naturally, to care about you. After all, we are all a family, how can I expect you to die?"
"Stop pretending," Xiao Yao seemed a little tired and his tone was a little low, "Because of my fault, the third child was punished by the father. In your heart, you probably want to peel off a layer of my skin, right?"
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Since you know, why do you want to provoke him?"
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qin Zhen in surprise, and then smiled bitterly: "No wonder I fell into your hands, you are really good at acting."
From the moment she entered Beijing, she played the role of a brainless female bandit in front of His Majesty, doing things based on instinct regardless of the consequences. Relying on this pretended 'sincerity', Xiao Chengye was extremely fond of her.
After that, she didn't know what means she used to make Xiao Jue trust her so much that he even did anything to get her. But in the end, she abandoned Xiao Jue like a pair of shoes, and even Xiao Jue's current fate was hers.
Half the credit.
Until now, everyone's impression of the princess of Anshun was that she was arrogant, domineering and brainless, but they never knew that there was a calculating heart hidden under her appearance.
He caused the third child to be punished this time, and he was afraid that he really angered her, so he was able to get a glimpse of her true face.
Xiao Yao looked up at her and asked, "What do you want to do when you come here today?"
"What do you think I will do?" Qin Zhen smiled and comforted softly, "Don't be nervous, as your third sister-in-law, what can I do to you?"
"Actually, I'm just here to apologize. The injury on your body was caused by my prince, so I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf." Qin Zhen bent down slightly, stretched out her hand to straighten Xiao Yao's collar, and used a very low hand to straighten Xiao Yao's collar.
The voice said, "Don't argue with him. He is just a bit impulsive."
For a moment, all the hairs on Xiao Yao's body stood up.
He and Qin Zhen have known each other for a long time, and they were even friends. But at this moment, he felt as if he had never known Qin Zhen.
When Qin Zhen's hand touched him through his clothes, he had a cold feeling like being crawled by a snake, which made him shiver unconsciously.
When Qin Zhen saw his reaction, the smile in her eyes deepened and she said leisurely: "Don't be afraid, I said I won't do anything to you."
She straightened his collar, then took a step back and said, "I brought a lot of medicinal materials, I hope they can be used, and I hope you can recover as soon as possible."
After a pause, he suddenly said: "Ah, by the way, I just entered the palace and met Concubine Qing."
Xiao Yao's face instantly darkened: "What are you going to say?"
"It's hard for you to find such a person. That face made me feel a little confused. He looks so much like the original Concubine Lou Shu." Qin Zhen smiled, "The fourth brother is still filial and knows what the father likes.
Just do what you like. Unlike us, we don’t think of these things.”
"But it's okay, that Concubine Qing is quite interesting."
After Qin Zhen said this, she ignored Xiao Yao and turned around to leave.
Xiao Yao's cronies were a little confused: "Is she really just here to see His Highness?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Yao frowned, having a bad premonition in his heart.
Qin Zhen never does unnecessary things. If she comes here specially, there is no way she will do nothing.
He suddenly remembered what Qin Zhen said before leaving, and immediately said: "Send someone to check if anything happened to Concubine Qing."
The confidant was stunned and whispered: "Now that His Majesty is doting on her, he shouldn't..."
"Go and check if you are asked to do so," Xiao Yao said sternly, "Can't you hear me?"
The confidant did not dare to say another word and quickly sent people into the palace to find out the news.
After the people left, Xiao Yao unconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck. He didn't know why, but he always felt itchy.
As time passed, the itch slowly spread from the neck to the chest, and finally spread to the whole body.
It was like there were ants crawling all over the body, and the itch penetrated from the skin to the bone marrow. Xiao Yao scratched uncontrollably, almost scratching a layer of his skin, but he didn't know it.
When the person who went to investigate the news came back, Xiao Yao woke up as if from a dream when he heard the voice, raised his head and looked at the person steadily.
"Your Highness, Concubine Qing's side... something has happened." The visitor stumbled over his words and did not dare to raise his head to look into Xiao Yao's eyes.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What?"
"Today the princess came to the palace to visit Concubine Qing, and Your Majesty was also there. I don't know what the princess said. After she left, His Majesty suddenly became angry. Not only did he take away the gifts that the princess gave to Concubine Qing, he also ordered
Concubine Qing, please stay in the palace to reflect on yourself, and if you have nothing to do, don’t go see Your Majesty."
"Nowadays, Concubine Qing's palace door is closed, and our people can't get in. I really don't know what happened."
Xiao Yao scratched his arm unconsciously with one hand, frowned tightly, and murmured: "The gift from Qin Zhen was confiscated... The problem must be the gift from Qin Zhen. Send someone
Go check and see what Qin Zhen sent to Concubine Qing."
Xiao Yao was a little anxious. After finishing speaking, he slammed the tea cup on the bedside and cursed: "Trash, they are all trash!"
This Concubine Qing was someone he had spent a lot of effort to find, and he had spent a lot of effort training her to achieve today's results. However, just a few days after entering the palace, she was disturbed by Qin Zhen.
He couldn't just waste this chess piece.
"Qin Zhen..." Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I will never let you succeed."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you, Your Highness..."
The servant's repeated shouts brought Xiao Yao back to his senses. When he raised his head, he saw the man looking at him with wide eyes and some fear.
Xiao Yao frowned: "What?"
The man pointed at Xiao Yao's arm and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, you, your arm..."
When Xiao Yao lowered his head, his exposed arm was already dripping with blood.
