Xiao Mingyou was so frightened that she developed a high fever on the spot.

The prince summoned the imperial doctor and kept watch in the tent. It was not convenient for Jiang Yunzhui to go in, so he could only wait for news outside the tent without even looking at Huarong.

Hua Rong knew that Jiang Yunzhuo would not believe what she said now. When she was no longer so afraid, she picked up the snake's body on the ground and threw it away.

Although she knew it was a dead thing, Hua Rong still got goosebumps when she touched the cold snake body with her own hands.

This kind of instinctive fear cannot be overcome in a short time, but as long as you experience it enough, you will no longer be so afraid.

Being afraid is a privilege only reserved for those who have been pampered and raised. She is just a lowly maid, and she is not even qualified to be afraid.

After throwing away the snake, Hua Rong wanted to find a place to wash her hands, but she overheard someone talking in the forest.

"...It was really evil today. As soon as His Highness took us into the forest, we were blocked by a group of snakes. There can't be any evil spirits in this mountain."

"Why did it turn into a snake? Isn't it a mouse? I heard from Li Si who was walking at the front that it was a group of mice moving and running down the mountain. There were at least several hundred of them."

An image of snakes and rats running around in the mountains suddenly appeared in Hua Rong's mind. Her heart hurt sharply, and she felt extremely uneasy.

The earth is shaking!

A voice exploded in her ears, and Huarong quickly returned to the camp.

An earthquake is not a trivial matter. Once it occurs, there are countless people who will be displaced. However, just seeing snakes and rats running away cannot prove anything. No one will believe her words.

Huarong wanted to discuss with Jiang Yunzhuo, but when she arrived outside the camp, she saw no one. Instead, a eunuch came out and said, "Miss Huarong, His Royal Highness wants to see you."

The eunuch's expression was not very kind. Hua Rong clenched her fists, forced herself to calm down and walked into the tent.

In the tent, the imperial doctor had withdrawn, the prince was sitting on the low bed, and Xiao Mingyou was weakly leaning on his arms.

Perhaps she was frightened, but Xiao Mingyou looked very insecure. She no longer resisted the prince's touch, but became somewhat dependent on him.

The prince was very pleased with Xiao Mingyou's change of attitude, but he was even more distressed that Xiao Mingyou was frightened in his absence.

As soon as Huarong entered the tent, the prince shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"

The prince was obviously Huarong, but Xiao Mingyou shrank and said softly: "Your Highness, Huarong is also a woman. It's normal to be timid. I don't blame her for being a concubine."

The prince, like Jiang Yunzhuo, believed that Hua Rong deliberately left Xiao Mingyou and ran away alone. Xiao Mingyou never mentioned that she threw the teacup and startled the snake, and took the opportunity to "magnanimously" intercede for Hua Rong, showing that she was

of kindness.

The prince had no doubt and held Xiao Mingyou's shoulders distressedly: "She only cares about escaping for her own life, leaving you alone in danger, and you still want to speak for her?"

Xiao Mingyou smiled solemnly and said: "Your Highness came back in time. Isn't it okay for me? Your Highness should just forget it for my sake."

"What if I come back late? Can you still talk to me now?"

The prince raised his voice, feeling that Xiao Mingyou was so kind, that even after being bullied by a humble maid, he was still begging for her.

Xiao Mingyou stopped talking, her eyes instantly turned red, and she was still afraid of the rest of her life.

The prince then looked at Huarong and said: "Princess, please plead for you. You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. Aren't you afraid when you see snakes? Then I will have your eyes gouged out, and you will not be afraid in the future."

Alright."

Ever since he discovered that Hua Rong's eyes were similar to Xiao Mingyou's, the prince felt very unhappy. Now he had an excuse to gouge out Hua Rong's eyes.

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Mingyou whispered, seeming to think that the prince's decision was a bit too bloody, but she was just frightened and did not plead for Huarong anymore.

The prince hugged Xiao Mingyou and comforted her gently, then winked at the soldiers standing by and motioned for them to pull Huarong down.

"Your Highness," Hua Rong summoned up the courage to speak, "I just heard that there were snakes and rats escaping in the mountains. This is an ominous sign. I'm afraid there will be an earthquake soon. Please take your Highness back to the city first and let the government issue an evacuation notice."

People!"

Huarong spoke very urgently and sincerely.

But the word "earthquake" only appeared in history books, and it was very strange to the prince's ears. He didn't believe Hua Rong's words at all, he just thought it was an excuse she made in a panic to avoid punishment.

Xiao Mingyou didn't take it seriously, but still asked timidly: "Your Highness, are there really snakes and rats escaping in the mountains?"

"Auntie Huang, don't be afraid. This cheap servant just exaggerated to avoid punishment. There are indeed records of earthquakes in the Zhaoling history books, but they all happened in the border areas. Nothing like this has ever happened in Chenzhou. It's very safe here.

"ap.zx.r

The prince read a lot of history books, and he believed in his own judgment.

Xiao Mingyou showed admiration and turned to persuade Huarong: "Girl Huarong, the earthquake is not a trivial matter. You must not talk nonsense just because you are afraid. If word spreads and causes panic among the people, you cannot afford this."

Responsible."

Hua Rong also knew that she spoke softly and had no evidence, so no one would believe what she said, but her intuition told her that everything was true.

She said stubbornly: "I am willing to pledge my life to ask Your Highness to quickly ask the government to notify the people and let them evacuate to a wide and flat place, but not to a place that is too low. After the earthquake, the mountains collapsed and blocked the river, and the water level rose."

It will also be very dangerous, and..."

"That's enough!" The prince interrupted rudely and said sternly, "Drag this bastard who is deceiving the public with her lies and behead her!"

Two soldiers dragged Huarong out. Jiang Yunzhuo rushed into the camp and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute!"

Jiang Yunzhuo had just been sent away by someone sent by the prince. As soon as he came back, he heard that the prince was about to chop off Huarong's head. He rushed into the tent and saw Xiao Mingyou leaning on the prince's arms. The two of them behaved extremely intimately, and he was shocked.

big.

But he couldn't allow him to think too much at this moment. Jiang Yunzhuo stopped the soldiers, looked at the prince and asked: "I wonder what crime my maid has committed, and His Highness actually wants to chop her head off?"

The prince sneered: "Let her speak for herself!"

Hua Rong told what happened again. She did not defend herself or plead for mercy. She only said to Jiang Yunzhuo: "Master, what I said is true!"

"Azhui, you are such a powerful maid. She actually has the ability to predict the future. If she does something wrong next time, she won't say that she is the reincarnation of a goddess, right?"

The prince's tone was very mocking, and he didn't believe a word Huarong said.

Xiao Mingyou said apologetically: "I have just begged for Miss Huarong's love, but the earthquake is really too suspenseful, and I don't know what to say."

It sounds like Huarong is seeking death for his own stupidity.
