Leng Changxi took two steps forward and stood still in front of Qingtao. The breath of silence echoed in the room, and the coldness around Leng Changxi also made Qingtao feel like she was covered in ice.
"Little Miss, this, really, really, is prepared for Miss, this..." Qing Tao Qiqi Ai Ai said.
If you don’t regard yourself as your master, naturally no servant will regard you as their master. In this place where no one can trust you, if you lose your identity, you will really have no choice but to be beaten passively. Therefore, Leng Changxi’s
The first one to show off his power was to take action on Qingtao.
When she felt that the child was almost overwhelmed by her, she slowly said: "Who will prepare these for me?"
"It's the prince." Qing Tao felt a little relieved when she heard Leng Changxi speak, and replied neatly. Because she felt that Leng Changxi's aura when she didn't speak was too oppressive.
"You King Xi?" Leng Changxi sneered: "Qing Tao, are you still playing tricks on me? Why would King Xi prepare these for me?"
"Miss, Qingtao is telling the truth! These things were indeed prepared by the prince, including this room, which was decorated not long ago. The prince said that the lady will live here for a while and it is not convenient for her to go out, so she needs to prepare the things
Everything is ready." Qingtao was nervous and poured out all the words.
But the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Leng Changxi immediately understood the clues in her words: "It's not convenient to go out? Why is it not convenient to go out?"
"Actually, I don't know the specific Qingtao, but I was told by the prince two days ago that he was here to serve the young lady. At that time, the prince only said that the young lady had a special status and could not leave the house. He asked me to accompany the young lady well. If the young lady needs anything, I can
Report in time." Qingtao asked and answered questions under the pressure of Leng Changxi's cold aura.
"Can't leave the house? Report in time?" Leng Changxi narrowed her eyes and her face became a little colder.
From Qingtao's few words, she finally understood the current situation - she was under house arrest. It seemed that King Xi was indeed planning something that she didn't know about, and he was not simply trying to help her avoid being chased.
soldiers.
"Miss, that's all I know..." Qing Tao's voice was full of grievance.
Leng Changxi glanced at her and said calmly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Miss." Qingtao got up from the ground, suddenly feeling like she was surviving a disaster.
"Qingtao, I believe that what you said today must have been warned by someone not to tell me." Leng Changxi walked to the window, pushed it open, and took in all the scenery outside the window.
In the eyes, I also eliminated some possible eyeliner.
Qingtao shrank, biting her lower lip, with a look on her face as if she was about to cry, and kept stirring the corners of her clothes with her hands.
Leng Changxi only needed one glance to understand her.
"How long have you been in the government?"
"Back, back to Miss, one year." Qingtao's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
A year, no wonder she is so immature, Leng Changxi just pressed it for a moment, and then she said it all. It seems that King Xi underestimated her. If this is true, it would be much easier to handle. Only when the enemy is completely relaxed
Only when the attack is complete can the attack be 100% sure of victory. Relaxing the enemy is a great way to defeat the enemy.
"Qing Tao, what do you think the prince will do if I go to see Prince Xi for a theory?" Leng Changxi's words were gentle and calm, but in Qing Tao's ears they were like a thunderbolt from the blue.
If Leng Changxi really wanted to argue with King Xi, wouldn't it be clear that she was the one who told King Xi that Qing Tao had spilled the beans? She didn't even dare to think about the consequences, so she knelt down and begged hurriedly: "Miss, please
Don't go to the prince, if the prince knows that it was Qing Tao who said it, Qing Tao's end will be disastrous!"
"Isn't it okay if I don't say it was you?" Leng Changxi had a meaningful smile on her lips.
The trap she dug for Qingtao was finally starting to yield results. But she was not in a hurry. A person's spirit must be stretched to the extreme before it can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
"No, miss, I beg you. No one knows about this matter. Even if the miss doesn't tell, the prince will guess it. Miss, please, don't go to the prince! Qingtao is yours.
I can serve you as an ox or a horse..." Qingtao shook her head desperately, as long as Leng Changxi didn't say anything, she was willing to do anything.
Leng Changxi didn't speak, she just stood coldly, with a smile on her face filled with pride. She had been waiting for Qing Tao's words.
The more silent Leng Changxi became, the more frightened Qingtao became. In the end, she shrank on the ground, trembling constantly.
"Okay, let's get up." For a child, this was enough. Leng Changxi's voice became slightly softer and she pulled her up from the ground.
"Miss..." Qingtao looked at her sincerely, with tears on her face.
"You said you wanted me to send you?" Leng Changxi did not answer the question she was most concerned about - whether she wanted to go to King Xi again.
"Yes! Qing Tao is at your disposal, Miss!" Qing Tao nodded hurriedly when she saw Leng Changxi's face softening.
"But how dare I send you?" Leng Changxi's voice was soft: "You dared to reveal the prince's explanation to me today. There is no guarantee that you will not reveal my explanation to the prince tomorrow."
What she, Leng Changxi, needs is someone who is completely obedient, not a double agent.
"No, no! Qing Tao will not dare. If he reveals even a little bit, Qing Tao will definitely die!" Qing Tao actually swore a poisonous oath in order to gain Leng Changxi's trust.
After receiving the guarantee, Leng Changxi smiled knowingly and said: "Okay, since you are so scared, I won't go to the prince for the time being. But don't blame me for not reminding you. If you follow me and don't speak strictly, the consequences will be worse than if you let the prince
It’s good to know.”
Qing Tao wiped the tears from her face and nodded hurriedly.
"Qingtao, where is your hometown?" Leng Changxi softened her voice and chatted with Qingtao about home affairs as if nothing had happened, as if the scene just now did not exist at all.
"This slave is from Xiuzhou." Qingtao sobbed and replied in awe. After suffering such a move from Leng Changxi, she was now a little afraid of Leng Changxi.
"Since we are in Xiuzhou, how can we sell ourselves to the palace?"
"My slave's father passed away early, my mother is in poor health and has been bedridden all year round, and she has a young brother. The family's livelihood depends entirely on Qingtao. If she doesn't sell herself to the palace, Qingtao really doesn't know where to go.
What should I do?" Qingtao's head was lowered, and her young shoulders looked so thin that it made people feel distressed. However, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was so sad.
Leng Changxi took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Qing Tao: "These are enough for you to settle down at home. Take it and come back to me if you have any difficulties in the future."
It was the first time Qing Tao saw such a large denomination, and she trembled in her hands. Finally, she knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Miss, thank you Miss! From now on Qing Tao will be
I’m the lady’s person, and Qingtao can do whatever she wants!”
Leng Changxi grew up under the quintessence of the carrot-and-stick modern education system, and she knew it well. Seeing Qingtao being so obedient, she patted Qingtao on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "
