"Do you still know it hurts?"
A cold voice came from above.
"Who taught you this stupid method of threatening death? Can the hairpin be stabbed on the neck at will? If it accidentally stabs a vital place, why are you crying out that it hurts now?"
The angry scolding sounded from above her head again, and Taoye could hear the concern beneath the anger in her words this time.
Of course she cherished her life, but things were tight at that time. If she delayed it for a while, Nanyun would have been tainted by that idiot.
They are of lowly status, and even their lives are not valuable.
She is relatively good, and her life is worthy of consideration.
But someone like the Fifth Young Master, who was born to be a master, would not understand this.
Taoye's mind went back and forth a few times, but of course she wanted to appreciate her master's concern. She stretched out her arms to wrap around the slightly lowered neck as if she were in someone's arms.
"I'm sorry, I made the Fifth Young Master worried! Don't be angry, I won't dare to do anything wrong next time."
While speaking softly, he pressed close to Rong Jiu's chest, which was still heaving with anger.
Looking at the timid look of the little maid in her arms, her moist eyes seemed to be quietly sizing up her expression.
But Rong Jiu always felt that the little maid's appearance was a bit unreal.
But this thought only flashed through my mind.
"How is Nagumo doing now?"
There was still an air of cold anger in his voice.
"Fortunately, Madam arrived in time. Nanyun was only given medicine and was not taken over. Now he is asleep in the back!"
This posture was actually very tiring, so Taoye moved her body on Rongjiu's knees.
"What are you doing!"
Before Taoye had time to wonder about this gratuitous scolding, she felt something strange under the robe, and her face immediately turned crimson.
Taoye is happy that she can easily seduce people, but she has other things to talk about today, and she is not worried about Nanyun who is alone behind her.
He simply stood up from the embrace and knelt on the ground again.
"This slave wants to ask for a favor for Nan Yun and the Fifth Young Master!"
"Although Madam personally came forward to save Nan Yun from the fire pit this time, Manager Lu is very proud in front of the old Madam, and I'm afraid he won't let it go. Nan Yun will be fine with Madam and Young Master protecting him, but Nan Yun's mother……"
"This slave knows that this is a matter for the back house, and the Fifth Young Master should not be allowed to interfere, but Nan Yun treats this slave sincerely, please ask the Fifth Young Master to help her once!"
Taoye asked for permission today. Firstly, she reciprocated the favor, and secondly, she knew that Nanyun was the confidant of the person in front of her.
The fifth young master, like his wife, is very protective of his shortcomings.
"Did you know that Nanyun's mother is a sin slave?"
Rong Jiu asked calmly without comment.
"I know that when I was in the academy, I read the household registration regulations. Even if those adult criminal slaves who committed serious crimes in their families entered the palace, they could only do the dirtiest and heaviest jobs. The masters in the palace could also kill them at will. !”
Because of this, she took the risk to plead for mercy today.
"Please, Fifth Young Master, save Nanyun's mother's life!"
Taoye kowtowed.
Rong Jiu, who was on the couch, looked at the person whose forehead was pressed tightly against the back of his hand, and there were some waves in his eyes as deep as a pool.
"Get up, I'll let someone do this!"
Rong Jiu said.
"What? Your legs are weak? Do you want me to help you?"
Seeing that although Taoye straightened up, he still knelt on the ground and hesitated, Rong Jiu joked as usual.
"I'm afraid something might change if it's too late. Could the fifth young master have someone bring Nanyun's mother here now?"
The old lady and Manager Na Lu are both selfish and harsh people, and Tao Ye is afraid that Nan Yun's mother is already being tortured.
"I know it's getting late now, and the Fifth Young Master has been tired for a whole day, so I shouldn't let you worry anymore..."
It was indeed dark outside, and Taoye was still a little uneasy when she said this. It was one thing for the fifth young master to agree to her, but it was another thing for her to urge him.
"Xingyun!"
Rong Jiu shouted outside.
Xingyun outside the door came in in response.
"Go find Qin's mother and ask her to tell her to bring Nanyun's mother here from the dressing room!"
"yes!"
Xingyun went out and took a look at Tao Ye, who was still kneeling on the ground.
This time Taoye's eyebrows looked really relaxed.
"You can get up now!"
Rong Jiu lowered his head and said.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
"You did a good job just now, please press it again!"
Rong Jiu pulled the soft gold pillow on one side and leaned down lazily.
"yes!"
Tao Ye moved to the other side of the couch, placed her slender jade-white fingers on the lake blue brocade robe, and rubbed Rong Jiu's shoulders with moderate strength.
Rong Jiu closed her eyes comfortably. She didn't expect that the little maid still had this hand. She could press it more in the future.
My mind began to think about what happened to Habayashi Wei during the day.
The emperor was suspicious. General Lu Shi of the Yulin Guards was a rare person for him to trust. Among the two lieutenants below, one was promoted by Lu Shi himself, and the other had an old relationship with the counselor of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. But at the moment, it seemed that he had not Be loyal to the fourth prince.
This time the emperor ordered him to join the Yulin Guards and serve as a lieutenant general, mainly to appease the prince.
Nowadays, he loves the art of checks and balances the most. He joined the Yulin Guards as a member of the prince's side. Similarly, the emperor will relent on the fourth prince's side.
But the prince did not trust him, so for the newly vacant position of Zhonglang General, not only the fourth prince's people were competing for it, but the East Palace was not far behind.
And he neither wanted someone from the East Palace to get it, nor did he want someone from the Fourth Prince to get this position.
There are many children of powerful families in the Yulin Guard, and there are always a few who want to make contributions but are not affiliated with the party. When there are more people competing, chaos will arise, and it is not certain who will win.
Rong Jiu would inadvertently frown slightly when he was thinking about something.
While Taoye was rubbing it, he looked at the beautiful facial features. Crow feathers covered his closed eyes, casting a faint shadow, making the feeling of tiredness and tiredness a little stronger.
Plus the unconsciously frowning eyebrows.
The fifth young master's face looked tired.
But he was willing to agree to his request and immediately ordered Xingyun to save Nanyun's mother. Whether it was for himself or for Nanyun, Taoye was grateful.
My heart softened unconsciously, and the hand that was originally on my shoulder moved to my forehead.
As soon as he pressed his fingers to his eyebrows, the person on the couch opened his eyes with cold eyes.
"Fifth Young Master, you are a slave!"
"Slave, please rub your forehead to relieve your fatigue!"
The look in his eyes was very guarded, and Taoye hurriedly lowered his body and spoke softly.
Hearing the familiar gentle voice, the coldness in Rong Jiu's eyes faded away, and she closed her eyes again with a faint hum.
The soft fingers touched his browbones and forehead. Rong Jiu was less tired than when he was thinking about something just now, and he became more interested.
After another half-quarter of an hour of enjoyment with her eyes closed, Rong Jiu raised her hand to stop Tao Ye's movements, straightened up and sat on the edge of the couch, and hugged her thin waist.
Having served on the bed so many times, Taoye naturally understood the meaning of the fifth young master's action.
