After the butcher was arranged to another yard, the maid subconsciously glanced at Princess Yuanmin beside her, with some hesitation in her tone, "Princess, do we really want to do this? What if the prince is killed? If we find out, we will be dead.”
Hearing this, Princess Yuanmin, who was removing the hairpin from her hair, her eyes darkened a bit, and then she turned to look at the maid, "Everyone has already found the palace, is it possible that you want to send it back intact? Or is it that the person you are truly loyal to is Lin Qingwan and you don’t want to be by my side?”
The maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Yuanmin, "What did the princess say? I am loyal to the princess and I have no second thoughts!"
"Then why do you say those words to make this princess unhappy?"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for an instant. The maid took a deep breath. She was not ready to continue talking, but when she thought of the seriousness of this matter, she couldn't help but said, "But that is the princess after all, and she is Prime Minister Lin after all." His eldest daughter, if such a scandal really breaks out, the palace will probably become the laughing stock of the entire world."
"It's okay if it succeeds. If it doesn't succeed, the princess will definitely be traced. Then everything that the princess has worked hard for many years will be ruined."
"As long as you don't expose this matter and I don't tell anyone else, who will know? Don't you believe your own words? Or don't you believe in the methods of this princess?" Princess Yuanmin did not think about what would happen after the failure. As a result, because she thought she would succeed.
"If you think about it carefully, the position of princess originally belonged to me. I grew up with Brother Qianchen as my childhood sweethearts, and he was so good to me. But now he is suddenly snatched away by such a shameless woman. You How can I, the princess, feel at ease?"
After saying this, Princess Yuanmin stretched out her hand to help the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "Now you are the only one beside me, and I told you a long time ago that I will arrange for your brother and nephew to Okay, including your parents, I will also find someone to treat them. As long as you work for me with peace of mind and don't have any second thoughts, you can get everything you want easily."
"If this princess discovers that you are involved with other people, then things will not be that simple..."
There was a threat in the last sentence, and the maid's throat was throbbing, and her eyes were full of fear, "I don't dare to get involved with other people. I am the princess's dog. Whatever the princess asks my slave to do, I will naturally do it."
After hearing this, Princess Yuanmin smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, since you have such an awareness, then I, the Princess, will feel at ease."
"Go and make arrangements for the butcher. Don't let anyone find out. I will hold a banquet in the yard tomorrow. After getting Lin Qingwan drunk, you can take her to the yard where the butcher is... You don't need to do the rest. Has this princess given an explanation?"
"Yes..." The maid was still a little scared, but when she thought that her family was still in the hands of Princess Yuanmin, she could only grit her teeth and agree.
Lin Qing's evening courtyard.
Chun Mian came in from the door, hurriedly walked to the table and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then she leaned into Lin Qingwan's ear and said: "Miss, that butcher lives in a courtyard of the palace. The Lord did not send him away.”
The woman's brows moved slightly, and she gently grasped the hair with one hand, probably thinking.
What on earth do you want to do by calling such a man to the palace out of the blue and not even sending him away?
Princess Yuanmin hates herself so much that she will attack her when she seizes the opportunity. Could it be that this time has something to do with her?
After thinking about it, Lin Qingwan finally said slowly: "Keep watching and make sure to understand their movements clearly."
"yes."
…………
The next morning, when I woke up from the bed, Chun Mian happened to come in from outside the house, holding a red invitation in his hand.
Lin Qingwan rubbed his eyes and was stunned for a while before asking, "What is this?"
Chun Mian's face looked a little ugly, her throat moved and she said, "As expected, the invitation was sent by the princess early in the morning. It was said that the princess was about to celebrate her birthday and she wanted to be in her yard today. To hold a small banquet, just invite the prince, princess, and some of her friends, and say... and..."
"What else can you say?" Lin Qingwan answered.
"She also said that she had offended the lady a lot in the past, and asked the lady not to worry too much. Please come over, otherwise today's birthday party will not start."
hehe……
Lin Qingwan sneered, walked slowly to the front of the dressing mirror, picked up the comb and gently combed her hair.
"I knew she must be up to something, but I didn't expect that she was so impatient. I saw her in the garden yesterday, and she acted like this again today."
"Miss, do we want to go there? We still don't know what kind of game the princess has done."
"Of course I have to go there, everyone has said so, there is no reason not to go." Lin Qingwan said as she picked up the hairpin and pointed it at her head to compare, "Not only do you have to go there, but you also have to dress up to attend. By the way, Go and see what jewelry I have and pick out the most expensive one. Since they want to reconcile with us, we must naturally do our best to save face."
Obviously, the birthday party was decided suddenly. After receiving the news, the servants in the house started preparing in a hurry.
At noon, the maid from Princess Yuanmin came to invite Lin Qingwan again. Lin Qingwan was still reading on the recliner with a natural expression.
"Miss, this is the third time. Why don't we go there today?" Chun Mian was a little confused. After all, Lin Qingwan just said this morning that he wanted to go over to meet Princess Yuanmin. Why did he find the people at Princess Yuanmin's side? Come and invite me, my lady is immobile again?
"Don't worry, how can you see Princess Yuanmin losing her composure when you go over now? If you can't see her losing her composure, then today will be boring."
Lin Qingwan stood up slowly as she spoke, put the books on the bookshelf, and then sat in front of the dressing mirror, "Are you ready for the gift I asked you to prepare?"
"Get ready. The hairpin I brought to the princess is the one the Queen gave me a few days ago."
"Very good...keep watching the butcher's movements. If there is any trouble, please come back and tell me."
"yes."
After another quarter of an hour or so, Lin Qingwan started slowly, walking out of the yard step by step towards Princess Yuanmin's residence.
When I walked to the outside of the courtyard, I could already hear the lively voices in the house. They were probably Princess Yuanmin's friends. It sounded like there should be six or seven of them.
She looked at the two young men waiting at the door and raised their hands, indicating that they did not need to report.
