The next day after returning to Li's Mansion, she came to the house crying and carrying a baggage, saying that all the slaves in Prince Mu's Mansion had been dispersed, and that she had nowhere to go, so she had to come to Qiucao.
Originally, Qiucao had no intention of taking Xiaohong in. She was a fake herself. She didn't know when her identity would be revealed and she would die without a burial place. How could she support a maid?
However, after everything was said, Xiaohong refused to leave. Qiucao had no choice but to keep her.
Li Gongchui didn't have any objections to Qiucao's behavior of taking Xiaohong in. He just said, "If you want to keep her, just keep her. Anyway, there's no one missing." and stopped talking.[
Qiucao thought so. As a noble servant of the country, naturally there would be no financial crisis just because he had one more maid.
only……
"Miss, Prince Mu's Mansion will be closed tomorrow. Are you really not going to go back and take a look?" Since arriving at Li's Mansion, Xiaohong's address to Qiucao has automatically changed to "Miss."
"What will happen if we go back?" Qiucao smiled and said, "King Mu is not here, it is just an empty house there, so just seal it."
"But at least go back and get something as a souvenir. After all, miss, you didn't even see King Mu for the last time..."
"Isn't this good? I don't want to see him bruised and bloody by arrows."
Xiao Hong struggled for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why are you not sad at all about King Mu's death?"
"Sad? Why should I be sad?" Qiucao answered.
She didn't think Mu Zi was really dead! According to the royal rules, even the prince who rebelled, no matter how shabby he was, would have a funeral. However, the third prince was so anxious that he ordered Mu Zi to be killed the next day.
They were hastily buried. What's even more strange is that the third prince not only did not pursue the charges of treason against the two men, but also allowed them to continue to stay in their original positions.
With the third prince's character, how could he let Mu Zi's old subordinates stay in the court?
Qiucao once asked Li Gongchui about this question, and the answer he got was that although King Mu died, the people of Mu State were still there, and Gu Huan and Wu Xunbi were ministers of Mu State, not King Mu's.
Qiucao didn't think so, so Wu Xunbi didn't mention it. Qiucao didn't understand this person, but Gu Huan was different.
