Prince Anlan was obviously dissatisfied with Xu Lin's act of making decisions without authorization.
He was still wondering if he could dig out news about the leading brother from Zhou Xi's mouth!
If it could be dug out and reported, it would be a great achievement.
Hearing this, Xu Lin quickly knelt down to apologize, "I didn't know the prince's plan. I was reckless. I was really angry. Zhou Xi wanted to stab the prince, so he impulsively invited the prince."
Punishment!"
"Okay, it's not a big deal. It's not like we don't have some clues about spies. If we really want to report them, there will be quite a few of them." King Rong waved his hand to signal him to get up.
"For the prince's assassination, can we make some adjustments and let the prince take the blame?" Prince An Lan said.
King Rong shook his head: "Don't even think about throwing dirt on the prince. It won't cause any adverse effects at all. Don't make a fuss about it when the time comes!"
Prince An Lan frowned, but didn't say anything else.
…
Manager Zhao was in a coma for three or four days and didn't wake up until today.
"Steward, you are finally awake!" the attendant who was waiting for him said quickly when he saw this.
Although Manager Zhao was low on energy, he still looked around cautiously, "Where is this place?"
"Don't worry, manager, this is Qingyang, the princess's mansion!"
After knowing that this was his daughter's territory, Manager Zhao felt relieved and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"The steward has been in a coma for three days! This time, we were completely defeated!" the attendant sighed.
Manager Zhao also fell silent.
He had always been very confident, but at this moment his face was as white as paper, one of his arms had been chopped off, and there was a shocking wound on his chest.
Who could have imagined that King Rong, who had always presented himself as a lustful, stupid and vain person, would actually set up a trick for him!
He thought he had been careful enough, but he never thought that the boat would capsize in the gutter!
If he hadn't brought the best medicine with him and taken it on the spot, and evacuated immediately under the cover of his confidants, he would have been one of the people whose head was missing!
This well-planned battle ended in a disastrous defeat for our side.
Years of business were lost in one fell swoop.
Qin Sisi opened the door and came in at this time.
Seeing her coming, Manager Zhao and his followers all shut up.
Qin Sisi acted as if she hadn't seen it. Seeing that Manager Zhao was really awake, her eyes turned red and she said, "Dad, what are you doing? How could you hurt yourself like this?"
"Dad is fine, you don't have to worry." Manager Zhao comforted him.
"Steward, the princess has come to visit you every day these past two days," the attendant said.
"Call Si Si, you're worried." Manager Zhao said warmly.
Qin Sisi sniffed and said very warm words to Manager Zhao, "Dad, now that you are like this, don't go back to the capital. Just stay here with me and I will take care of you in your old age!"
Qin Sisi's words really warmed his heart.
It's true that he can't return to the capital. This look will easily arouse Uncle Qin's suspicion.
And he really needs to recuperate, he was really injured this time!
"As for your mother, don't tell her, she will be worried." Manager Zhao said.
Qin Sisi nodded, "I know, I'll just tell her that you just need to stay here and help me take care of things!"
Manager Zhao said with satisfaction: "I will do as you say."
"What's your name?" Qin Sisi looked at his entourage.
"My name is Azhuang."
Qin Sisi said: "You are responsible for taking good care of my father. If you need anything, just tell him!"
Ah Zhuang should be.
"Dad, please take a good rest and I won't disturb you."
Manager Zhao nodded.
As soon as they left, the follower Azhuang said: "In charge, Princess, she is really filial."
"This is my daughter. If I don't be filial, who am I to be filial to?" Manager Zhao was really pleased with his daughter's attitude today.
Changing the topic, he added: "This time our vitality is seriously damaged, so we don't have to do anything from now on, just adjust our breath well!"
"Yes. But this time the steward is so seriously injured, the princess will always ask why. The steward must think of a good reason."
Manager Zhao said: "I will find time to explain this matter to Si Si."
Naturally, his identity cannot be exposed. He can still explain his daughter's simple thoughts and will not have anything to do with spies.
Qin Sisi returned to his boudoir, with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face.
She called up Yunlu, her current personal maid.
The maid in front is called Bichun. The last time she was sent to Qingyang fiefdom, she was beaten to death.
Because Mrs. Qin put the blame on Bichun, she said it was this cheap maid who instigated it.
Yunlu saluted and then asked: "The princess asked the slave to come up, what are your instructions?"
"Yunlu, I remember that your family came to our father-in-law's house to look for you." Qin Sisi said.
Yun Lu couldn't help showing a scared look, "I beg the princess to forgive me. At that time, my slave's father was seriously ill, and the family really couldn't afford the money for treatment, so I found my slave and wanted her to help. But my slave promised
, I only used the monthly money I saved, and I definitely didn’t touch any of the plants or trees in the house!”
"Why are you panicking? I didn't say you were stealing from the father-in-law's house to support your family."
Yunlu quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Princess, for your understanding!"
Qin Sisi looked at her, "You're not too young this year, right?"
"This slave is nineteen this year."
"I'm nineteen, so it will take another six years before I can be released to get married." Qin Sisi looked at her.
The rule of the Guozhang Mansion is that you can only be released to get married on your own after you are twenty-five years old.
Of course, if you can win the appreciation of your master and decide how to allocate the servants in the house, this is also a way to go.
Yunlu didn't dare to speak.
"Let's do this. You do something for me. When it is done, I will not only let you get married, but I will also prepare a dowry for you, which will definitely allow you to live the rest of your life happily. How about it?" Qin Si
Si said calmly.
Yunlu's heart was moved, "I wonder what the princess wants your slave to do?"
Qin Sisi motioned for her to get up, and then whispered a few words in her ear.
Yunlu's face turned pale, "Princess, slave... slave..."
"What are you so afraid of? None of the maids in my eldest brother's yard have ever been used by him. In the end, he gave me a sum of money and used it as a dowry. The man was also very happy with the money as a dowry. He has been there for many years.
Can’t earn it?”
Qin Sisi said calmly: "And what this princess gives you is enough for you to use for a lifetime. If you agree, this matter will be left to you. If you don't agree, then forget it. There are many such things."
It’s the maid who is willing to do it, and I’m not interested in you, that is, because you are good-looking, so I gave you this opportunity.”
Yunlu gritted her teeth and said: "Princess, my slave... I am willing to do it, but after the request is fulfilled, the princess can fulfill my wish and let my slave go out to marry."
"Can I, the princess, still give you the three melons and two dates?"
"This slave will definitely live up to the princess' instructions!"
