"Haven't you seen the ruins of the General's Mansion?" Hao Yan said coldly.
"But I didn't see her body!" Situ Yan said loudly.
His voice echoed in the room. Hao Yan picked his ears and rolled his eyes at him.
"You didn't see it, but I did. Mu Xing and I buried the general's family of seven. You can't help but believe it."
"If you come to me all for the same thing in the future, don't come. I don't have so much time to waste with you. If it weren't for you being a good friend of the general, I would have ignored you long ago."
Situ Yan lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.
Even if Hao Yan didn't need to tell him, he knew this, but he still couldn't help but have some hope, but he was disappointed.
He took a deep breath and looked up at Hao Yan, "Then can you do something for me again?"
Hao Yan raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand and opened his palm to him, "The general is gone, and such a big Wangyunlou eats with his mouth open. I can't work in vain, can I?"
Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, and he looked hesitant. Although he was called a miracle doctor, he was a man of talent.
He always waives medical fees for poor people and buys medicines for them out of his own pocket. Even if he has money, he will spend it all in the blink of an eye.
He knew the price of Hao Yan very well. Even if Hao Yan gave him a cheaper price for the sake of being an acquaintance, it was still not something he could afford.
Situ Yan looked at him in embarrassment, "Can you give me some first?"
Hao Yan sneered, "In our industry, we give you money first and then do the work. If you don't have money, there's no need to talk!"
"Let me guess, you want me to help Princess Xuan?"
Situ Yan nodded, "After all, she was implicated because of me..."
Just as he was about to get upset, Hao Yan's laughter got even louder. He raised his head in confusion, "Did I say something funny just now?"
"Did she ask you to help? She didn't even ask, but you insist on helping. I'm afraid it will only be a disservice. I advise you to stay calm!"
Situ Yan was speechless, and Hao Yan just silently withdrew his gaze.
Based on his understanding of Shen Luo Xi, Shen Luo Xi would not do anything for no reason, let alone cause such a big commotion, maybe he was planning something.
As Shen Luo Xi's right-hand man, he naturally wants to prevent anyone from hindering Shen Luo Xi!
…
The next day, Shen Luoxi lazily basked in the sun in the yard, with contentment in her eyes.
Xueyu brought her cut tea and snacks, which she could reach with her hands.
She narrowed her eyes and saw a man in pink walking towards her from the corner of her eye.
Shen Luoxi rolled her eyes calmly. If no one was looking for trouble, her morning would be perfect.
"Did I disturb my sister?"
Xueyu stretched out her hand to stop her, frowned and said coldly: "The concubine knew that she was disturbing the princess, but she still stepped forward. Isn't this a knowing act?"
"The princess is going to rest. Concubine, please come back."
Ning Yanran's face darkened, and she looked at her with a smile, "Sister, I just got up not long ago, why do you need to rest?"
"Miss Xueyu, please stop joking with me. I just want to come and talk to my sister. After all, what happened yesterday must make my sister feel bad, right?"
She said this with the corners of her mouth raised.
Shen Luoxi raised her eyelids and raised her hand to signal Xue Yu not to stop her. She sat up and stretched her waist, then looked at Ning Yanran with a half-smile.
"My sister is so thick-skinned. Xueyu has already talked to this point, but she still doesn't understand."
When Ning Yanran heard this, the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.
She took a few deep breaths in her heart and finally answered calmly, "She is just a slave, and what she said may not mean what my sister meant."
"Xueyu has been with me since I was a child. Could it be that my sister understands my thoughts better than Xueyu? It seems that my sister is very good at observing words and emotions."
Ning Yanran clenched her hands into fists, and her nails dug deeply into her palms. If the tingling pain in her palms hadn't reminded her, she might not have been able to maintain the calmness on her face.
After she married into the palace, many people in the palace laughed at her origin and joked that she was just a slave.
She can deal with those people quietly, but she can't deal with Shenluoxi!
Shen Luoxi looked at her with a smile, "Why didn't my sister say anything? Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, just go back. I don't need your company in the first place."
Ning Yanran tried her best to suppress her inner anger and maintain her outward calm. She raised her hand to signal the maid to put down the food basket in her hand.
"This is the lotus seed soup that I personally gave to my sister. Lotus seeds purify the heart and nourish the spleen. The prince scolded my sister in front of so many people yesterday. She must have been wronged. Drinking some lotus seed soup is just right."
She took out the steaming bowl of lotus seed soup from the food basket and pushed it respectfully in front of Shen Luoxi.
Shen Luoxi didn't even look at it. He pointed directly at the maid behind Ning Yanran and said, "I don't have much appetite now, but this is my sister's wish and I can't live up to it."
"You are my sister's maid, and you are as close as a sister, so I will reward you."
The maid hurriedly glanced at Ning Yanran and saw that her face was gloomy, with a bitter look on her face and she secretly complained in her heart.
But this was Shen Luoxi's order, and she couldn't disobey it. She weighed it again and again before she raised her head and drank it.
Shen Luoxi raised the corners of her mouth, and a gleam flashed in her eyes, "Okay, I have accepted my sister's wishes. After talking like this, I am a little tired. Sister, please go back."
She got up and returned to the room, leaving Ning Yanran standing in the yard.
The maid looked at Ning Yanran's face and said cautiously, "Concubine, let's go?"
Ning Yanran glared at her, gritted her teeth and said, "Would it be embarrassing to stay here if you don't leave?"
After that, she strode out of the yard.
But before she got halfway, the maid who was following her suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
"Concubine, I, my stomach hurts..."
The maid broke out in cold sweat from the pain, and the color drained from her face in the blink of an eye. Ning Yanran looked at her coldly, and even took a step back in disgust.
"It won't hurt in a while."
The maid didn't understand what she meant. She didn't even realize what happened until she lost consciousness and stopped breathing.
Ning Yanran frowned, raised her foot and kicked the maid hard to vent her hatred. When she was tired from kicking, she leaned against the rockery to rest for a while.
She looked at the corpse on the ground with resentment. The person lying on the ground should be Shen Luoxi!
She originally thought that Shen Luoxi had lost such a big face yesterday, and she could take the opportunity to humiliate him and teach Shen Luoxi a lesson, but she didn't expect that she was so angry that she even broke a maid!
Ning Yanran murmured gloomily: "Shen Luoxi, you won't always be so lucky."
At night, Shen Luoxi sat on the roof blowing the evening breeze, looking at the moon and stars. She turned her head after hearing the sound of footsteps.
She said calmly: "Your Majesty, it's really late for you to come."
