It was the maid Xiaoxue that Luo Yao rescued in the front yard today.
"This servant came to deliver lunch to the princess. When she saw the courtyard door was open, she came in by herself. Did she not disturb the princess?" Xiaoxue said respectfully.
"give it to me!"
"Slave, please put it in the house for you!"
Luo Yao hurriedly refused, "No, I can do it myself."
She took the tray, put the food back into the room, and then turned back to the door.
Seeing her come out again, Xiaoxue said hurriedly: "The princess will have her meal in the house, and the servants will wait outside the door."
"It's such a hot day. Why don't we ask you to wait in the courtyard? You should go back first! Come back and clean up in half an hour."
"Can……"
"Go!"
"That slave is leaving first."
Seeing Xiaoxue walking out, Luo Yao seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly chased after her, "Xiaoxue, wait!"
Xiaoxue immediately stopped and looked back at her.
"What other instructions does the princess have?"
"You have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several years, right?"
Xiaoxue nodded and counted carefully on her fingers, "I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion when I was eight years old, so it has been several years."
"Then do you know about the eldest lady's illness?"
Hearing this, Xiaoxue lowered her head nervously and replied in a low voice, "No, I don't know."
"real?"
She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xiaoxue's reaction, so naturally she wouldn't believe Xiaoxue's words.
Xiaoxue raised her eyes uneasily and looked around, lowering her voice and reminding her: "Since the second lady entered the house, the servants in the house are not allowed to mention the eldest lady's affairs again. I don't dare to speak nonsense."
Luo Yao closed the courtyard door and returned to Xiaoxue, "I have no other intention, I just want to hear about my mother."
Xiaoxue was about to speak but stopped looking at her, thinking that she had helped him today and he should repay her kindness.
After weighing it up, Xiaoxue said truthfully: "I occasionally go to the kitchen to do odd jobs. I heard the ladies in the kitchen talking about the illness of the eldest lady. They said that the eldest lady was so sick that she couldn't eat anything. How could she deliver the daily meals?" No matter how I got it back, I was worried about cooking for the eldest lady."
Luo Yao knows all this.
"anything else?"
"And..." Xiaoxue glanced at her and suddenly lowered her eyes, not daring to continue.
"You can speak out."
"I heard from the ladies that when the eldest lady was ill, the Prime Minister stayed away from home for the whole night. It seemed that he was... at the second lady's place."
In Luo Yao's memory, the days when Lan Qin was seriously ill were also the days when Luo Zhenming had heavy official duties. Every time he came back, he looked exhausted both physically and mentally. In order to prevent him from being distracted, Lan Qin allowed him to handle his official duties with peace of mind. , don’t worry about her.
I never thought that Luo Zhenming was not busy with official duties at all, but busy with his wife.
What an irony!
His wife is seriously ill in bed, and Luo Zhenming is still thinking about having sex with his wife outside. Doesn't his conscience hurt?
There are various signs that the people who want Lan Qin to die the most are Luo Zhenming and Shu Qing. They must be closely related to Lan Qin's death.
But now she has no evidence, and they will not admit that they harmed Lan Qin.
She will find evidence and avenge Lan Qin.
"After the second lady entered the house, she dismissed all the servants in the house. The nuns also knew this from the mouths of the previous nuns." Xiaoxue added.
Luo Yao asked again: "Then do you know who the doctor was who treated the lady at that time?"
Xiaoxue shook her head, "I don't know."
Luo Yao sighed softly, Xiaoxue only entered the house after Lan Qin died, so it was normal not to know.
Just when she was about to ask someone else, Xiaoxue spoke again, "Princess, don't be anxious, I can ask others quietly."
"Thank you."
Xiaoxue smiled at her, "The princess is kind to the slave, and the slave is repaying the princess."
The two said a few more words, and Xiaoxue left.
Luo Yao returned to the house and saw Xiao Yan still lying on the bed, with the dining table still on the table.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "Are you planning to starve yourself to death?"
"I am injured and should not move. Come over and feed me."
"..."
Is she hallucinating?
Seeing that she didn't respond at all, Xiao Yan repeated: "Come here and feed me."
"..."
She heard clearly this time.
She stared at herself and said, "You want me to feed you?"
"right."
"Why should I feed you?"
Xiao Yan said solemnly: "It is a great blessing for you to be able to serve my king at my table. It's a great blessing for you."
I thank you. I really don’t care about who I love for this kind of blessing.
Rolling her eyes at Xiao Yan, she sat down at the table, deliberately picked up a chopstick and showed it to him, then brought it to her mouth in slow motion, chewing the food with satisfaction before swallowing it.
She gave a thumbs up with satisfaction, "The food in the Prime Minister's Mansion is really good."
After coming here for so long, except for the time at the palace, this was the second time she had a satisfying meal. This trip was not in vain.
Xiao Yan didn't eat last night. He was already hungry and wanted to watch Luo Yao eat. King Li Wang had never been so angry in his life.
He snorted coldly and lay on his side with his back to Luo Yao, not looking at her.
“This beef in sauce is so delicious.”
“This vegetarian side dish is also good.”
"this……"
Luo Yao deliberately talked while eating, and fanned the aroma of the food towards Xiao Yan with her hands, deliberately coveting Xiao Yan.
I asked you to throw me into the abandoned courtyard without giving me anything to eat or drink.
I will also starve you today to let you know what it feels like to be hungry.
Xiao Yan had a stern face and tried his best to block her voice, but his stomach protested honestly.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and got up and sat down at the dinner table.
"Hey! King Li is ready to get up. You don't have to wait for me to feed you?"
He rolled his eyes at Luo Yao and started eating by himself.
Luo Yao put down her chopsticks so she could take a good look at him, and couldn't help but taunted him: "I didn't expect that the high and mighty King Li would be like this."
There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, no one will be spared by heaven.
Deserve it!
happy!
"I kindly took you in, helped you heal, and gave you food. How should you repay me?" Luo Yao asked.
Xiao Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his eyes coldly, "Don't even think about reconciliation."
"We won't talk about peace and separation today, but let's talk about money."
Xiao Yan frowned and looked at her.
"I'll buy you medicine in the middle of the night, treat your wounds, take care of you, and give you food. The price is five thousand taels per bite."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "Are you crazy about money? Do you need five thousand taels for this little thing?"
"Isn't King Li's life worth five thousand taels?"
"you……"
Staring at Luo Yao, he refused in a deep voice, "At most fifty taels, do you want it if you want it?"
"You are too picky! I have helped you so much and you only gave me fifty taels. If I had known I would not have helped you and let you die." Luo Yao protested dissatisfied.
A flash of calculation flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, and he suddenly looked at her and said, "Do me a favor, and I will give you any amount of money."
"I'm a very principled person, and I don't do anything to help."
"Ten thousand taels."
Luo Yao immediately changed her tune, "I'll help you with everything. What do you want me to do?"
