When Rong Jiu thought about the little maid almost dying at the racecourse, she couldn't help but feel scared.
No one knew that his hand was shaking slightly when he swung the arrow out, and it almost flew by the edge of Zhang Xin's neck.
If that were the case, with Zhang Xin's skills, the situation at that time could only be all-or-nothing, and the little maid's life might not be saved.
Of course he was angry, not only because of this, but also because the little maid didn't believe him at all.
That's why I risked my life to save myself.
"I promise there will be no next time. I was frightened by the vicious thief today, so I acted recklessly!"
If you choose again, Taoye will still behave like this.
The fifth young master may care about her a little, but when it comes to entrusting his life to her, Taoye doesn't dare.
After all, I only have one life.
"Fifth Young Master, my neck is still hurting!"
Taoye's voice was mute, but she seemed to be keeping her head down carefully.
On the neck, which is as white as jade, the two handprints have turned red and purple, which is particularly dazzling.
The coldness on Rong Jiu's face gradually subsided. She used a piece of jade to scoop out another spoonful of ointment and slowly spread it on the bruise.
"Don't get up yet!"
After applying the medicine, Taoye heard a deep voice coming from above.
"My slave is so sleepy!"
This time, Taoye did not immediately stand up as instructed. Instead, she hugged her narrow waist, nestled into Rong Jiu's arms, and closed her eyes.
After a while, his breath calmed down.
With her head tilted back slightly, Rong Jiu hurriedly moved her hand to stop it.
After staring down for a moment, Rong Jiu stood up with the person in his arms. He wanted to put the peach leaves on the couch, but seeing that the mattress on the couch was thin, he turned to the bed again.
As soon as he put the person down, Taoye squeaked and turned sideways to move the brocade quilt inside.
Seeing that the quilt was already in Tao Ye's hands, Rong Jiu spread out the bed underneath and covered her.
"Fifth Young Master!"
When Xingyun saw his master coming out, he hurriedly came forward to greet him, as if he had something to say.
"Go to the study!"
When Rong Jiu sat down behind the desk, Xingyun bent over and reported: "The Marquis just sent someone to deliver a message. There are indeed a few people sneaking into the racecourse, including the prince and the fourth prince. However, it is difficult to help the Zhang letter." The person hiding his identity is the prince’s man!”
"No wonder Eunuch Sun came so quickly!"
Xingyun continued.
"What are uncle going to do?"
Although Yongninghou was the uncle of the state, he never participated in court struggles and acted casually. However, he loved his younger sister Gu Yunqing very much, and he also loved Rong Jiu more.
"The Marquis said this is according to the wishes of the young master. Now that he knows the stakes planted by the prince and the fourth prince on the racecourse, people will keep an eye on them in the future, but it is okay to use this matter to expel them!"
What this means is that these people are completely handed over to Rong Jiu.
"Then keep people on both sides, but find a way to let them know each other's existence!"
"Master, are you trying to use your strength to gain strength?"
The struggle between the crown prince and the fourth prince has been well known to everyone. Now it is difficult to maintain the relationship of brother, friend and respect on the surface. Privately, it is more about you and not me, especially for the people below.
"One more thing, you personally go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion and hand this letter into the hands of the Marquis!"
As Rong Jiu spoke, he quickly wrote two lines on the letter paper.
Xingyun took the letter and bowed out.
"Master, Mother Qin wants to see you!"
Not long after Xingyun went out, Guiyun's voice came from outside the study.
"Enter!"
Rong Jiu put down the pen in his hand and looked down.
"This slave has met the fifth young master!"
"Please get up, I already know the purpose of Mother Qin's visit, but after all, Qingxing is the one who was rewarded by the queen's aunt. She is weaker these days, so it won't be a problem if she stops taking the medicine for a few days. Qingmei has already gone to Zhuangzi, so always We can’t let anything happen to this one!”
Rong Jiu said gently.
"The fifth young master has had ideas since he was a child. I understand this, but this fact cannot be ignored. Madam has chosen Miss Du from Bowang Hou's residence for you. Something good is about to happen for the fifth young master. If Qing Xing happens to be pregnant..."
Qin's mother stopped talking about the bad influence, but she knew that the fifth young master understood it in his heart.
"I already have an idea about this matter. I'd like to ask Mother Qin to keep it a secret, so as not to upset her!"
Rong Jiu's tone was gentle, but the meaning behind his words was that he could not refuse at all.
Qin's mother knew Rong Jiu's temperament better than Gu Yunqing. After hearing this, she could only sigh secretly in her heart, but could not say any more words of persuasion.
"By the way, the house is busy these days with the marriage of my second brother, so I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on the rules and regulations, so as not to let others think that our house has lost etiquette!"
"I understand that I must handle all the matters related to the second young master's marriage properly, and I will not let that villain have the opportunity to say anything wrong about the madam!"
Qin's mother didn't think much about it.
"I heard that the fifth young master took that girl Taoye out today. Why is there no one in the west wing now?"
Qin's mother didn't expect that Qing Xing was so resourceful that she actually asked the fifth young master to stop using the anti-pregnancy medicine. She just wanted to mention Tao Ye, the old love and the new favorite, so as to have a balance and not let the unruly Qing Xing Xing always takes the lead.
"She was held hostage by thieves at the racecourse today. She was a little surprised and fainted while waiting for the meal. Now she is asleep in the house!"
Rong Jiu said casually.
"Taken hostage by thieves? Is the fifth young master in danger today?"
Mother Qin's expression suddenly became tense.
"I'm fine!"
"That's good!"
Mother Qin looked at the person sitting above with a lazy look and a normal face, and it really didn't look like anything was wrong. She felt relieved, and then her eyes became a little worried: "I wonder how that girl Taoye is? Do you want to invite me?" The government doctor comes and takes a look!"
"No need, I'm just a little scared, no need to alarm anyone!"
Qin's mother's expression froze, and she became even more worried.
One is for Taoye. This girl has always served her master with all her heart. Being able to faint while serving the meal means that she is really weak. She doesn’t know what is going on now. The fifth young master is now cold to her; the second is for the fifth young master. Now he is looking at the fifth master. The young master doesn't care about Taoye as much as Qingxing, and Qingxing is a flirt, so he might cause some trouble in the future.
"I'm a little tired. If Mother Qin is fine..."
"Fifth young master, have a good rest. I will retire now!"
Qin's mother knew that she couldn't speak at the moment, so she had no choice but to leave.
After they left the yard, Rong Jiu came out of the study and returned to the bedroom. She took off her outer robe and took the person on the bed into her arms.
Taoye really fell asleep at this moment. Feeling the warmth radiating from Rong Jiu through her middle coat, she subconsciously moved closer.
Rong Jiu looked down at the little head on her chest, curved her mouth gently, and closed her eyes.
As soon as she woke up, before opening her eyes, Taoye felt the familiar breath around her. She closed her eyes, and her slender and soft arms passed through the top and landed on Rong Jiu's back. With this posture, she leaned closer. Some.
The breaths of the two became more intimate.
