Zhou Chen coughed so much that his internal organs shifted, and he knocked over the medicine bowl Bo Wanqing brought with one palm.
"Get out, I'll be annoyed when I see you! I've been crying all day long, and I'm not dead yet!"
The maids hurriedly knelt down and were treated like this. Bo Wanqing silently packed up the broken porcelain pieces and left with the tray.
"You all get out too!"
Zhou Chen is feeling unwell and his temper has become increasingly irritable in the past few days. He was obviously dragged into the water, but everyone said that he drank too much and fell into the water. Even his mother said that there was no evidence and that this matter could only be
Nothing came of it. He suffered a dumb loss and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Third brother, please don't get angry. My younger siblings are doing it for your own good."
Zhou Chen stared at him and asked, "Did you give Zhou Rong this idea?"
Zhou Chang looked calm.
"Third brother, you are not feeling well right now. As a brother, I don't care about your outspoken words or your suspicions. Whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Chen sneered, coughed violently, grabbed a porcelain cup and threw it to the ground.
"Then you're here to see a joke now? How can I compete with Zhou Rong when I look like this?"
"Third brother, don't be angry. The imperial doctor said that your illness should be cured slowly and you can't be in a hurry. I'll go and ask the kitchen to cook another bowl of medicine and bring it to you."
Zhou Chang opened the door, and the sunlight from outside shone into the room. The strong light made Zhou Chen squint his eyes, and he missed the mocking smile on Zhou Chang's lips.
The seventh brother fell into the water once when he was a child and is still half-dead. He drags his broken body to work as his sick man. Who does Zhou Chen think he is? Why can he return to his former self?
It was not his fault that he fell into the water, but if he wanted to break the situation, he had to divert his attention.
Zhou Rong has always thought of himself as a noble person. I thought he would have the backbone to persevere to the end, but he didn't expect that he would become ruthless and give up more than a hundred lives at once.
He just had an idea. People in the Zhou family are all selfish, so you can't blame him.
The one who couldn't sit still more than Zhou Chen was Zhou Yu. He sat in the study for a long time, dipping his pen in ink, but the white paper spread out in front of him was still blank and he couldn't write anything.
"Your Highness..." Qixi reported back, "You asked your subordinate to investigate Princess Zhan, and I happened to find something interesting."
Zhou Yu put down the pen and rubbed his sore arms.
"explain."
"Today during the day, Prince Zhan and his wife went out for an outing. Whether intentionally or not, they happened to meet their boss Si Yiluo outside the city. Si Yiluo happened to be outing there with his family's male favorite."
"There is no such coincidence in the world. The relationship between Princess Zhan and Si Yiluo must be extraordinary. I actually remembered a rumor..."
Zhou Yu didn't like him talking out of breath.
Qixi said hurriedly, "Before Princess Zhan got married, there was a rumor in the market that Si Yiluo and Princess Zhan had that kind of relationship... Many people had seen the two openly flirting and making intimate gestures on the street.
.”
"Perhaps the two of them had a secret tryst in the teahouse that day?"
Really unable to find Shen Moran's movements, Qixi combined her recent intriguing behavior to deduce a fact that he found credible.
Zhou Yu found it incredible, but at the same time he thought it was reasonable. No wonder he couldn't seduce both of them, and Si Yiluo obeyed him on the surface but didn't take him seriously secretly, while Shen Moran kept dealing with him, but didn't
Give clear answers.
The reactions of the two people were completely different.
"Does seventh brother know about this matter?"
Qixi didn't dare to lie. After Ping'er left Prince Zhan's Mansion, he couldn't even find out any news about Prince Zhan's Mansion. He didn't know if Prince Zhan knew that he was being cuckolded.
"If this is the case, the cooperation between me and Si Yiluo can continue. All we need to do is to do what they want... Qixi, go and check it out carefully."
"yes!"
Alian was standing in the yard holding a tray. She lowered her head and shrank when she heard the door open.
The black boots stopped in front of him, and Qixi pinched her chin with a dangerous tone.
"Did you turn a deaf ear to my words? Who allowed you to come in?"
A-Lian's chin hurt from his pinching, and she cried with tears in her eyes. She glanced at him timidly and said aggrievedly: "The weather is dry, and His Highness has been ill recently. The Princess made Sichuan clam and loquat syrup stewed by her own hands. There was no one at the entrance of the courtyard.
This slave is afraid of the cold..."
The little girl was still pretty, so Qixi let go of her chin, lifted the lid of the soup cup and took a look, smiling coldly.
"Go in."
"yes……"
The two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices in the study. Ah Lian heard everything that should be heard and shouldn't be heard. She pretended not to know anything and sent the soup cup to the study.
When she came out, she didn't see Qixi. Alian breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with the tray in her arms. When she walked out of the yard, she was unexpectedly grabbed by the collar and pulled aside.
"ah--"
With her mouth gagged, Alian threw the tray at the other person in horror, but the other person snatched the tray away and threw it to the ground.
"The little girl has quite a bad temper..."
Familiar tone... Alian stopped struggling, stared at the magnified man's face in front of her with wide eyes, stepped back and leaned against the wall to distance herself from him.
"Qi, Master Qixi... I don't know it's you. I was so offended just now. You have a lot, don't be like this slave!"
A chuckle next to her ear made Alian's vigilance soar.
"You're quite brave, little girl. How many years have you been following the princess?"
Alian didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but she remembered that her eldest daughter said, don't panic when things happen, everyone has a purpose, and there is a deep meaning behind everything. She had nothing to do with Qixi, and he suddenly
If you find yourself, there must be some conspiracy!
"Come back, sir, I have been serving the princess for a year. I have been doing rough work in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am lucky to be able to serve the princess in this life!"
Showing your loyalty to your master to him?
Although this little girl is smart, she is not very wise.
Qixi came closer again and said with bewitching words: "Serving the master is the duty of a slave, but a woman's final destination is to find a good man to marry. What kind of man will Miss Alian marry in the future..."
The distance between the two was very close, and Alian, who was wrapped in a strange aura, swallowed hard. Qixi's appearance was very eye-catching among ordinary people, which was one of the reasons why he could easily bewitch Ping'er.
The other person's body temperature was transmitted from the clothes stuck together, although the eldest lady had told her long ago that some men were so shameless as to trick little girls into doing things for him, then throw them away after use, showing no mercy.
But this was the first time she met her. She felt that her eldest lady was so knowledgeable about things, and she was also very excited. She could also use her to get more information by using her!
There is a saying that goes like this: The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind, and you can’t tell who will be the prey!
A-Lian lowered her head in silence, her voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
"My slave doesn't know either..."
Although the girl's shy expression could not be seen in the darkness, Qixi's move proved to be successful every time, so she moved closer and said in her ear: "Do you think I can do it?"
The last time they met, he threatened to kill her. No matter how affectionate his tone was, Alian still found it untrustworthy, and she was even more certain that he had a purpose in approaching her.
"This servant dare not climb high..."
Most women are duplicitous and dare not say what they say, but what are they thinking in their hearts? The girl raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes did not dare to stay, and she immediately lowered her head.
This picture of a young girl pregnant with spring... can quite arouse a man's interest!
Qixi stepped back and sighed: "Your Highness has assigned me a task to investigate the relationship between Princess Zhan and Si Yiluo. How can I, a grown man, get involved in women's affairs... If I fail to complete the task, Your Highness
You will think I am incompetent..."
Observing the girl's expression, Alian raised her head to look at him timidly, then lowered her head.
His voice changed.
"The Princess and Princess Zhan are biological sisters. Sister Alian also has the opportunity to come into contact with Princess Zhan. How about Sister Alian do her brother a favor..."
