After Xuemei walked out of the woodshed, she immediately came to the study and asked to see Prince Rui.
As soon as she saw Prince Rui, she told Prince Rui what Princess Rui had entrusted to her.
Unexpectedly, King Rui had a gloomy look on his face after hearing this, "Xuemei, you said that the princess said that all of this was designed by Qingqing to frame her?"
Xuemei lowered her head in fear, "That's what the princess said. She also said that if she really wanted to harm the second lady, she would never do it herself. The servant also felt that there was something fishy in this. Would the prince want to check it out?"
"Something is fishy, what do you mean? Do you think Qingqing would put her life and death at risk in order to frame her? Do you know that if the dagger was a little more biased at that time, it would have stabbed Qingqing in the heart. Qingqing has always been timid, and even
How could you do such a thing if you are reluctant to trample an ant to death?" Prince Rui roared angrily, "Moreover, I saw this matter with my own eyes, is it true?"
Xuemei hurriedly said: "I think so too, but the princess doesn't seem to be lying..."
Prince Rui interrupted her angrily, "That's enough! Don't be deceived by this poisonous woman. She could deceive me before and she can deceive you now. This is her trick of deceiving people. She just wants you to do it for her."
She begged for mercy so that I could let her out. After I let her out, she would hurt Qingqing again. None of you should believe this kind of woman!"
Seeing Prince Rui's anger, Xuemei trembled with fright.
At this time, Prince Rui stared at her sternly, "By the way, has she eaten today's bird's nest?"
"After eating, the slave said that the bird's nest was specially prepared by the prince for the princess. The princess was very happy at the time and ate it all!" Xuemei said.
Upon hearing this, King Rui's heart froze.
Does this woman still care about him?
But thinking of Liu Qingqing's injured appearance, his face became clouded again.
He said in a deep voice: "As long as she is willing to drink it, remember, continue to increase the dose, and I will get results as soon as possible."
"Yes." Xuemei said tremblingly.
After Xuemei finished speaking, she asked: "Your Majesty, it's wet and cold in the woodshed. Do you want me to send a quilt to the princess?"
"No need!" Prince Rui narrowed his eyes coldly, "She is a murderer and a vicious criminal. She does not deserve these things. From now on, don't give her anything except one meal every day!"
If it wasn't for the purpose of tricking her into eating bird's nest, he wouldn't even want to give her this meal.
"This..." Xuemei felt a little cold.
No matter how good Princess Rui is, she is still the prince's greatest contributor. She feels that the prince should not be so ruthless.
But this was the prince's order, and she did not dare to disobey it.
-
In the afternoon of the next day, Xuemei picked up the food and bird's nest again and came to the woodshed.
As soon as she saw Xuemei, Princess Rui hurriedly grabbed her and said hopefully: "How is it? Xuemei, have you told the prince? Will he believe me?"
Xuemei blinked, "I'm sorry, Princess, I have already told the prince, but he still refuses to believe you."
"What? He still refuses to believe me?" Princess Rui's body softened and she almost fell to the ground.
Xuemei hurriedly said: "Princess, the prince should still be angry. When he calms down, he will definitely believe you."
As she said that, she looked at Princess Rui and found that her hair was messy and her eyes were dull. She hurriedly said: "Princess, you haven't eaten for a day, right? Come on, eat these meals quickly!"
"I don't want to eat! Your Majesty, he refuses to believe me, I really don't want to eat!" Princess Rui said, holding her head in pain, and sat down on the simple wooden chair.
God knows how she got here last night.
The woodshed was damp and cold at night, with no bedding, no food, no firewood, and not even a candle.
She was a pregnant woman, huddled in the corner, shivering all night.
She had been hoping that Prince Rui would believe her so that he would let her out, but when she got such an answer, how could she eat it?
Seeing Princess Rui like this, Xuemei also looked helpless.
She advised: "Princess, if you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the child in your belly. Can you eat more or less?"
Upon hearing the word "child", Princess Rui's tears fell with a "pop" sound.
She caressed her belly gently and said uncomfortably: "Why, why doesn't the prince believe me? Why does he still treat me like this when he knows I'm pregnant?"
Seeing Princess Rui's eyes, Xuemei also couldn't bear it, "Princess, cheer up, maybe the prince will let you go soon?"
"No, he wanted to let me go, and he let me go last night." Princess Rui had tears in her eyes, "It's autumn, it's so cold in this woodshed, so cold. I have no bedding, no candles, nothing. Everything.
It's my fault that I was deceived by Liu Qingqing, which made me, a poor child, starve and freeze with me."
"Princess..." Seeing Princess Rui like this, Xuemei felt panicked.
The princess has been very kind to her over the years, and she is very grateful to the princess.
It's not that she doesn't want to get her a quilt, but Prince Rui doesn't allow it.
At this time, Princess Rui looked out the window with despair on her face, "Xuemei, I guess their family of three is having dinner happily at this time, right? I am obviously the mistress of Prince Rui's Mansion, but I have to be locked up here.
In the dark woodshed; she, Liu Qingqing, is just an outsider, but she can occupy my house and enjoy a life of glory and wealth. Why is this?"
Xuemei bit her lip helplessly, "Princess, don't be sad! You are a pregnant woman now. You can't shed tears often. Take care of your body!"
"What's the use of me being careful? Even the father of the child doesn't care about him." At this point, Princess Rui became even more desperate, "Why? I am also pregnant with his child, why would he treat me like this? Does he only have them in his heart?"
Mother and son, don’t we have any place at all?”
Seeing that Princess Rui was so sad, Xuemei couldn't bear to listen any more and hurriedly pushed the food in front of her, "Princess, no matter what, you should eat some! Even if you are wronged, you have to have a full stomach before you can take care of yourself.
Explanation, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Princess Rui's eyes suddenly overflowed with fighting spirit, and she said: "You are right, I can only clear my grievances by filling my stomach, so I will eat."
With that said, she picked up the rice bowl and started to cook the rice.
She hadn't eaten for a whole day, and she was already hungry and very uncomfortable.
Now that she had the fighting spirit, she quickly finished the food in front of her.
After eating, Xuemei was about to hand the bird's nest to Princess Rui, but she snatched it away and said, "No, I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, she scooped up the bird's nests in the bowl with a spoon and stuffed the bird's nests into her mouth.
She decided that from now on, she would eat well and eat this bird's nest well.
She had to save her body and her child so that she could fight Liu Qingqing.
Seeing Princess Rui desperately stuffing bird's nests into her mouth even though she couldn't eat it, Xuemei felt very uncomfortable.
After Princess Rui finished eating, she quickly packed up the dishes and left!
