Chapter 379: Talking in sleep hides shocking things
Seeing the tenth princess acting like this, Lin Fufei also had a flash of unbearability in her eyes.
But he was still cruel and continued to whisper in her ear: "Almond cheese is delicious, give it to the Eighth Prince!"
At this time, the tenth princess's forehead was already covered with sweat beads, as if she was trying her best to resist something.
"Look, the Eighth Prince has already eaten it." Lin Fufei said again.
"No! Don't eat it! Don't give it to him!" Finally, the tenth princess spoke.
"Who gave the Eighth Prince the almond cheese?" Lin Fufei asked in a low voice.
"No! No!" Princess Ten said with difficulty, "Don't give it to him!"
"What will happen if you eat it? What will happen if you eat almond cheese?" Lin Fufei asked.
"No! Don't eat it!" The tenth princess seemed to be possessed by a nightmare and could not wake up from this dream.
Her voice became louder and louder. Before it was still a whisper, but now she was almost shouting.
"What's wrong?" Hongzhu asked in a low voice while sitting up with sleepy eyes.
Lin Fufei didn't say anything, so Hongzhu got off the ground and came over to her and asked: "The princess is sleeping, what are you calling?"
Lin Fufei then turned around. The lights in the room were dim, and the expression on her face was unclear.
"What happened?" Hongzhu rubbed his eyes again and squatted down.
"I'm not shouting." Lin Fufei couldn't help but swallow before speaking, and grabbed Hongzhu's hand.
Her hands were wet, cold, and shaking.
"Who else is it if it's not you?" Hongzhu was confused and glanced at the tenth princess again, "What's wrong with the princess? Why are you sweating so much?"
"It was the princess who was shouting just now." Lin Fufei said, "I was just half asleep when I heard someone talking. I thought it was you, sister, but when I got up I realized it was the princess."
"Are you dreaming?" Hongzhu reached out to touch her forehead, which was as cold as her hand. "How can the princess speak?"
"It's true." Lin Fufei almost cried, "I heard it right."
Of course Hong Zhu didn't believe it, but before she could speak, she heard the tenth princess say: "Don't give it to him!"
Although his voice is not high, his enunciation is extremely clear.
Hong Zhu was frightened on the spot.
She had been serving the tenth princess for five or six years, but had she ever heard her speak?
What's more, who doesn't know that the tenth princess is mute?
"Sister, sister, what should we do?" Lin Fufei shook Hongzhu's arm.
Hongzhu was shaken back to her senses, stared blankly at Lin Fufei and asked: "It was the princess who spoke just now, right?"
Lin Fufei looked at her with the same look of horror on his face: "It should be."
Hongzhu trembled suddenly and glanced at the tenth princess again: "Then... what should we do? Wake up the princess?"
"Sister, I think this matter is not trivial." Lin Fufei said, "We all thought that the princess couldn't talk, but you see that she can talk in her sleep now. We, then she should be able to talk."
"Yes," Hong Zhu shrank her neck, "If you really can't speak, how can you talk in your sleep?"
"I think we should tell Cai Ren," Lin Fufei said, "Let Cai Ren make the decision. If we wake up the princess rashly, we can talk to Cai Ren later. He will definitely think that the two of us are playing tricks on each other.
Punishing."
"But even if we find the talented person, there is no guarantee that the princess will talk again." Hongzhu said.
"Then it depends on what God wants." Lin Fufei said, "Anyway, we told the truth."
"It's so late at night." Hong Zhu was obviously hesitant, "It's better... let's forget it!"
Lin Fufei knew that she was afraid of getting into trouble. If he continued to instigate, he would probably arouse her suspicion, so he said, "Okay! Let's just pretend that this didn't happen."
Hongzhu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on Princess Ten's forehead, and patted her again. Seeing the expression on Princess Ten's face relax, she also took a breath and whispered to Lin Fufei.
: "Okay, let's continue sleeping."
The tenth princess didn't speak again that night, but Lin Fufei and Hongzhu didn't fall asleep again.
Early the next morning, Lin Fufei put the antidote into the warm water for the tenth princess to drink.
What he was prepared for was that Ma Cairen would ask the imperial doctor to come over and take the tenth princess's pulse. If there were any clues, the matter would no longer be able to proceed.
After the tenth princess woke up, she looked even more tired than the day before. She didn't know what was going on, but she vaguely remembered having a nightmare.
After breakfast, Ma Cairen came over to visit again. Of course he was worried to see his daughter like this.
However, I only asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse on the first day, so it was not easy to ask him too frequently.
After all, my identity now is far worse than before.
Especially after a while, she saw that the princess seemed to be in better spirits, so she felt a little relieved.
Thinking of checking it out in two days.
In the evening, Lin Fufei repeated his old trick.
Sure enough, at night she didn't need to whisper in the ear of the tenth princess, the tenth princess would talk in her sleep on her own.
Of course, Hongzhu didn't sleep well. She heard the princess talking in her sleep and felt anxious and panicked.
Lin Fufei said from the side: "Sister, let's not hide this matter any longer. It's better to tell Cai Ren as soon as possible! Just don't let too many people know, so as not to cause trouble."
"Okay, I'll go and tell Cai Ren that you stay by the princess' side." Hong Zhu gritted her teeth, got dressed and went out.
Ma Cairen naturally took a rest early, and was shocked when he heard that Hong Zhu had something to report.
He hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Qiong Ying?!"
The maid Qingxue beside her said quickly: "Master, don't worry, it should be nothing serious. Hongzhu came over and said that she wanted to invite you to the tenth princess's room. What are we asking about? She just said it was inconvenient to talk."
Ma Cairen calmed down, thinking that it would be inconvenient to ask more questions, and said: "Please wait for me to get up, I will go over and have a look."
After getting dressed and going out, Hongzhu was standing outside.
Ma Cairen didn't ask her what was going on, and just said: "Go over first!"
Hongzhu agreed and said: "Master, please bring a few people over! It's not a big deal. If there are too many people, it's easy for people to make noises and talk nonsense."
"Then you two, Qingxue Mingshuang, just follow me." Ma Cai said.
These two palace maids have been serving her closely and can be regarded as confidants.
After a few steps, we arrived at the place where the tenth princess lived. Lin Fufei came out to greet her and said, "Sisters Qingxue Mingshuang, please stay here for now. It won't be too late if the master calls you two in later."
When Ma Cairen heard this, her brows jumped, but she did not ask Lin Fufei why. As long as it related to her daughter, she was extra cautious.
Ma Cairen entered the room alone and saw a lamp lit dimly on the small table beside the princess's bed.
The translucent gauze curtain was tightly closed, and my daughter slept inside.
"What's going on? Didn't she sleep well?" Ma Cairen was confused.
Lin Fufei and Hongzhu both knelt down, and Hongzhu said: "Master, there is something we dare not hide from you. It has been two nights in a row. Our princess actually talked in her sleep when she was sleeping."
