After struggling all night, Mu Lingxue stayed in bed for three full days before she got out of bed, her whole face turned pale.
Shuizhu worriedly advised, "The princess did this and didn't tell the prince. How would the prince know that the princess did it for him?"
From Qiangwei, after Shuizhu learned about the meal that day, he also vaguely guessed the reason for the princess's behavior. He also wondered why the princess knew that someone had drugged the dish.
Mu Lingxue saw her coming and asked, "How is your health? Don't you need to rest for a few more days?"
Shuizhu's eyes flashed slightly, "Well, if the princess hadn't saved the slave that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of the princess now."
Afterwards, Shuizhu found out that Qiangwei heard about her incident from the little girls and was about to rush over. The little girls stopped her and made a big noise, which happened to alert the princess. After hearing this, the princess went over without hesitation.
The princess's situation in the palace has always been bad, and now a servant has offended Concubine Rong because of her. How can Shuizhu not be grateful for such kindness? She has been an orphan since she was a child, and was sold into the palace by her aunt. In the palace, the favor is warm and cold for her.
She had seen too much. If she hadn't been careful, she would have died countless times. Although the palace trusted her, it only promised her the identity of an aunt. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, she knew whether she had the promise of an aunt or not.
She had to obey the palace's orders.
There are countless women in Prince Rui's palace, but which one is happy?
At first she just thought it was jumping from one fire to another, but after a few days of getting along, she actually found a glimmer of hope in despair, but is it really worth believing?
Murong Lingxue didn't know the change in Shuizhu's heart, "Although you and Qiangwei weren't with me before, you are mine if you are with me today. How could I let you be bullied?"
She doesn't believe that if she treats someone sincerely, the other party will not react at all. She has always believed that human hearts are made of flesh. She saved Shuizhu's life this time. She believes that there will be many people who are willing to follow her and be loyal to her next time.
She was not in a hurry either.
Qiangwei was packing up the dowry list. When she heard the conversation between the two people, she couldn't help but smile. She didn't notice that her smile had become much more real in the past few days since the palace came.
"Can we sneak out of the house without being discovered?" Mu Lingxue dismissed the other servants in the room, leaving Shuizhu and Qiangwei to talk.
On the other hand, I also want to use this matter to confirm what purpose the two of them have by their side or whether they will be loyal to me. On the one hand, if they can really leave the house, it would be a good thing. Coming here
I have never been to any place in ancient times, so how could I not look for opportunities to go out?
Shuizhu couldn't help but worry after hearing this, "If the princess really wants to go out, she can ask the prince for permission, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out secretly. After all, the palace is guarded at all levels, and the three of us may not be able to do it with our strength."
"
Qiangwei looked up from the gift list and said, "Princess, I have read it. All the items on this list are only worth a few thousand taels in total, but they are all big items, and I have no money."
What a difference."
"What about jewelry?" Mu Lingxue was not surprised. It was a lie. A married princess could be so poor.
Qiangwei glanced towards the dressing table and said, "The princess's jewelry is recorded, and no one will know if any of it is missing."
Thinking about it, there are informants everywhere in this palace, and the two girls around me were given by Prince Rui. I think Feng Guqiu has been watched closely, and I feel worried for a while. Could it be true?
Are you going to be bound by others like this for the rest of your life?
Qiangwei finally had an idea, "Why don't we see where there is a dog hole in the mansion. In the past, when we wanted to go out in Prince Rui's Mansion, we always looked for the dog hole."
Mu Lingxue didn't say anything, but Shuizhu couldn't help it at first, "What are you talking about? How can the princess go to the dog hole with you? The rules are becoming more and more unruly."
"I think this is a good idea." Mu Lingxue saw Qiangwei sticking out her tongue, "Let's visit the palace in the past few days. This is always an opportunity."
"Princess" Shuizhu had a headache when she saw that the princess was really going to make trouble.
Qiangwei is a child at heart. Seeing that the princess agreed, Qiangwei stopped what she was doing and talked in detail about how they secretly left the house to play. Murong Lingxue felt that she had some experience and experience after hearing this.
Things to pay attention to.
Shuizhu looked at it and shook his head. Secretly, he was still afraid of being overheard, so he went outside to check for the wind. As soon as he went out, he saw a little girl running away in a panic. Apparently, she had been eavesdropping under the window before.
"Stop this person!" Shuizhu pointed sharply at the woman at the door of the courtyard.
The mother-in-law didn't know why, but she still stopped the little girl. The little girl was so frightened that she kept struggling. She was no match for the two rough women, and was immediately escorted to Shuizhu.
Mu Lingxue also walked out. Shuizhu stepped forward and whispered what he had discovered, and then asked, "What do you think the princess will do with it?"
"Princess, you should pluck out a layer of skin from such an unruly servant before dealing with it." Qiangwei suggested harshly.
The servants around him trembled slightly after hearing this. Although the princess was not favored, dealing with servants like them was no different than crushing an ant to death.
"Princess, please forgive me, this slave didn't do anything." The little girl was so frightened that she begged for mercy loudly.
"Who asked you to eavesdrop?" Mu Lingxue's voice remained unchanged, but the force was frightening.
Only then did the servants in the courtyard understand what was going on. They looked at each other and lowered their heads with their own thoughts. They stood around. The two rough ladies trembled. They were guarding the courtyard door.
Some servants from the outer courtyard came in, and they also failed in their duties.
"You're such a scumbag, and the princess didn't ask for it based on the truth." A rough messenger raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
The little girl was beaten until she fainted, and the corners of her mouth were broken. She kept denying, "Princess, please forgive me. I really didn't eavesdrop. I was on duty in the garden. I came here today to find my good friend Xiao Hong. I'm here."
It was later discovered that she had not been transferred to this courtyard for duty, and the slave was discovered when she was about to leave, so she ran away in a panic."
"Are you really stupid about the princess?" Qiangwei scolded after hearing this.
Shuizhu frowned slightly after hearing this. Qiangwei's words were too imprudent. He glanced at the princess and saw that the princess didn't care. He was relieved. Now he is more and more lucky to have met such a master.
"I have always been kind, and I don't want to see blood," Mu Lingxue gently swept the people in the yard. The little girl who was being held down breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she suddenly stared in shock.
His eyes widened, "I'll just give you the medicine and leave your body intact."
There was a cold breathing sound all around, and even Shuizhu and Qiangwei were stunned.
Mu Lingxue glanced at the servants in the courtyard again, "I have always believed in the concept that I will not offend others unless they offend me. I also believe in the practice of repaying ten times the amount of money if someone offends me. You can also rest assured that I am not a master.
I am a person who loves to hold grudges, because I must avenge myself."
It was an understatement, but it made everyone who heard it shudder.
"Qiangwei, I'll leave this matter to you. Come and reply when you're done." After Mu Lingxue finished explaining, she turned around and entered the house.
But the room was still strangely quiet for a while. It wasn't until the little girl exclaimed that there was any movement in the yard. Sitting on the soft couch in the room, Mu Lingxue could still hear Qiangwei ordering people to get medicine.
.
She believed that in Ruoda's palace, it would be easy to find a drug that would kill people after taking it. Speaking of her cruelty, she raised the corners of her lips coldly. As long as she was soft-hearted, she would pay for it with her life, and she would pay for it today.
Let's stop the chicken and respect the monkey, let them understand that they are not easy to bully.
The noisy yard finally calmed down. Shuizhu and Qiangwei also came back to resume their duties. Qiangwei still felt puzzled and said, "Let them see this time that we are not easy to bully. We let people come over and eavesdrop in broad daylight. How brave we are."
."
Shuizhu also understood this, but it was still a pity to think that a human life was lost like this.
"If I don't deal with her today, what we said will spread out. Even if there is a chance in the future, they will wait for us to jump in. I don't care about the position of the princess, but there are many people who care about this.
, not for others, but for our own lives, I have to be ruthless." Mu Lingxue got off the couch, "Let's go out for a walk while it's not noon yet."
Seeing that his master was really planning to leave the house, Shuizhu did not stop him and asked Qiangwei to take good care of his master while he stayed to guard the yard. After all, her injury was not healed, so Mu Lingxue wanted her to stay and guard her.
With.
After leaving the courtyard, Mu Lingxue also talked to Qiangwei, "If you want to find a dog hole, you have to go to a wild place in this mansion. Moreover, our courtyard is full of eyes, so it is not easy to find a dog hole."
Qiangwei was able to sneak out of Prince Rui's Mansion because she was a servant, and when she first entered the mansion, she was stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and there was no way she could get out unless she was locked up in the courtyard for some reason. In that case
, there are still some opportunities.
"Princess, can't we just go out openly?" Qiangwei didn't understand. "As a princess, is it possible that someone will stop us from leaving the palace?"
Mu Lingxue's eyes lit up, "That's okay."
Although you can't make small moves secretly, you can still observe the market conditions first.
However, the two of them still went around the garden in the palace. They carefully dug up the area near the wall on one side of the garden. There was actually a dog hole. In order not to arouse suspicion, on Mu Lingxue's instructions, Qiangwei
I also deliberately acted as if I had discovered something new.
"Ah, a dog cave. I never thought there was a dog cave in Prince Tangtangxian's mansion."
Mu Lingxue cooperated from the side, "I saw it looked like a mouse hole. Who keeps such a small dog? And look at this wall, even a dog can't pull it out."
The master and servant chatted and laughed and walked away. It wasn't until they saw the person following them leaving that Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
In Rong Xiang's courtyard, Concubine Rong opened her red lips slightly and said, "You can see clearly that the master and servant are just visiting the garden? Nothing else?"
The little girl nodded, "He even laughed at the fact that our palace has a dog hole."
Seeing that she had finished asking, Ye Ju winked at the little girl and told her to go down. Only when there were no outsiders in the room did she speak, "Master, I have already said that if you have such a status, you can achieve great things, but you are just a petty person."
Mrs. Rong put down the tea cup in her hand, "Are you too small-minded? You can just kill someone today. With such ruthless determination, you are not an ordinary person. I just hate that I can't live up to expectations. I have been in the palace for three years."
, but there has been no movement so far.”
Ye Ju heard her master mention this again and hurriedly advised, "Master, this matter is not urgent, and there are so many women in the house, aren't they all silent?"
"Don't talk nonsense anymore." Mrs. Rong smiled.
This was also the reason why she felt relieved. If she didn't, it didn't mean there was something wrong with her. It was just that everyone understood this. After all, the man was the head of the family.
