Shen Dingzhu was being dragged by her mother-in-law. Zheng Erlan took advantage of the chaos and reached out, grabbed Shen Dingzhu's earrings, and pulled hard!
She wished that this foxy girl would be disfigured!
The severe pain hit Shen Dingzhu, which cleared her mind a little, and she slapped him with her backhand.
"Go away!" She shouted sternly, her pretty cheeks flushed a sickly red color, and her eyes were as dark as ink.
Zheng Erlan covered her face and took it out with gritted teeth: "If you dare to resist and steal things, you should have your head shaved and sent out according to the rules of the palace!"
After that, she flicked her sleeves and said, "Why are you still standing there? Strip her naked and drive her out so that everyone knows the consequences of stealing things."
Shen Dingzhu scolded sternly: "Let me see who dares to do something in the prince's yard!"
As soon as these words came out, the women also showed hesitation. They really wanted to please Zheng Erlan. After all, Aunt Zhang was the prince's wet nurse.
However, this is the prince's main courtyard after all. Apart from the fact that the mistress has the right to touch the people in the prince's room, why should Zheng Erlan, a maid, give such an order?
Shen Dingzhu raised the medicine on the table: "Did you see it? I went out to buy medicine. Why do you say that I stole the bronze coins? What if the prince gave them to me? You can guarantee that you will see me Did you steal something?"
Zheng Erlan was at a loss for words and said, "The prince likes antiques, how could he give them to you? If you didn't steal the things and sell them, how would you get the money to buy medicine? We just completed the marriage, and the money for this month has not been paid yet."
But a guilty conscience flashed in her eyes, and she knew her words were one-sided. After all, she was not sure whether Shen Dingzhu was favored or not.
Shen Dingzhu laughed, and spoke cold words from his red lips: "The things and money were all given by the prince. If you don't believe it, you will find out when the prince comes back."
However, Zheng Erlan was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to drive away Shen Dingzhu, so she refused to let him go.
"Even if you have to ask the prince before making a decision, you are still under suspicion now," she glared at the group of women, "Go! You lock her in the woodshed, and when the prince comes back, I will question him personally!"
At this moment, Xu Shou's voice came from the door: "The person that the prince brought back, where did Miss Zheng come from?"
Several people turned around, and Xu Shou limped in, holding the little eunuch's hand.
Probably because he helped Shen Dingzhu enter the palace before, he was punished by Xiao Langyan.
Zheng Erlan sneered: "Eunuch Xu's words are wrong. The prince brought her back out of kindness, but he didn't know that he would lead the wolf into the house. I found ancient copper coins in her room, and there are all the witnesses and physical evidence. She has no way to quibble."
Xu Shou insisted: "Even if she really did something wrong, she has to wait until the prince comes back before making a decision."
"As the maid beside the prince, don't I have the right to make the decision on this matter?" Zheng Erlan asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a tall figure standing outside the door from the corner of her eye.
Zheng Erlan was startled. After seeing clearly that it was Xiao Langyan, she hurriedly lowered her head, and the domineering look completely disappeared from her face.
"Why don't you continue talking? I still want to hear how a big maid can punish the people in my room? Who do you think you are, the mistress of the house?" Xiao Langyan had a faint smile on his face When he walked in, his tone was terrifyingly cold.
Zheng Erlan trembled all over after hearing this, and knelt on the ground with a pale face: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this slave has no intention of transgressing, but she stole things first, and the stolen goods are here!"
She handed over the ancient copper coin with both hands. Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows and took it, glanced at it, and then looked at Shen Dingzhu.
At this moment, she could barely stand by holding on to the table, probably because of discomfort, her lips were slightly opened, and she was breathing quietly.
The clothes on her shoulders were pulled half open, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders. Xiao Langyan frowned slightly and saw that her cheeks and even her neck were as red as ripe cherries.
Only that beautiful and beautiful face still showed a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat. The black eyes were wet, but it didn't look like he was wronged, but rather like a kitten pretending to be fierce.
Xiao Langyan's deep eyes darkened: "I rewarded you with this thing, do I also want to report it to you?"
Shen Dingzhu and Zheng Erlan were both stunned. Zheng Erlan blurted out subconsciously: "How is it possible that the prince would actually..."
"Bold!" Xu Shou scolded Zheng Erlan, "The entire palace belongs to the prince. It is not your turn to comment on who or what the prince wants to reward!"
Xiao Langyan threw the bronze coins on the table and said indifferently: "Xu Shou, drag her out, teach her a lesson with a stick, and then send her to serve in the front yard. My yard cannot tolerate a maid who makes decisions without permission. The rest of the people who came with her All the servants must be driven out of the house."
Zheng Erlan never expected that the person who would end up miserable would be her!
"My lord, please don't drive this slave away. This slave knows that you are wrong and won't dare to do it anymore. This slave is just afraid that she will be unfavorable to your prince. After all, she is already a lowly person. If you care about me, your slave will be in trouble. My lord..." Zheng Erlan was crying and being beaten by Xu Shou. people took it away.
Xiao Langyan never frowned from beginning to end.
Shen Dingzhu was suspicious. Zheng Erlan was his wet nurse's biological daughter. Since the death of Xiao Langyan's biological mother, apart from Concubine Xian who raised him, Xiao Langyan respected this wet nurse the most.
Today, he actually drove Zheng Erlan away for her?
There were only two of them left in the room. Shen Dingzhu wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he coughed violently.
Xiao Langyan's tall figure walked towards her, stood still in front of her, lowered his eyes and said, "Are you really sick? Are you just pretending?"
Shen Dingzhu felt stuffy, covering her heart and coughing lightly, her naturally soft voice was a little hoarse: "Last night, I dreamed that Miss Fu was going to be sick, and it was difficult to cure. The prince was worried and went to visit, but the emperor found out. I’ll give you a good scolding.”
Her face was red with an unhealthy glow: "If Miss Fu is really ill by then, please avoid suspicion and don't send famous doctors in the mansion to treat her, so as not to be known by the emperor."
Xiao Langyan looked gloomy: "She's not sick yet, but why are you so sick?"
Shen Dingzhu closed her eyes and said with some discomfort: "Someone asked me in my dream, if I would be willing to take the illness for Miss Fu, she would not have to be sick. Thinking that the prince would not visit her if she was not sick, I simply agreed. ”
She stroked her forehead: "I was probably dreaming randomly. When I woke up in the morning, I realized that the window was leaking. I think Miss Zheng must have broken the window when she moved from here."
Xiao Langyan glanced past her and looked at the windows in the house. He walked over to check and saw a hole made of three layers of paper. He poked it with his finger and it broke.
He frowned coldly: "Why don't you ask someone to make up for it? You have tried your best to stay by my side. Don't lose the face of me by not being able to show off your posture at all."
After he finished speaking, he saw from the corner of his eye a purse on the table next to him. The style was not that of a woman's.
Xiao Langyan picked it up and looked at it: "Where did you get the money to buy the medicine?"
Shen Dingzhu felt dizzy and her voice became hoarse: "I met Major General Zhou on the road and borrowed it from him."
Xiao Langyan's eyes were dark, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "Is this king a dead person? You won't ask me for it?"
Xiao Langyan turned around after asking, only to see that Shen Dingzhu had closed his eyes tightly and suddenly fell to the side. His eyes changed, and he immediately stepped forward and hugged her who was on the verge of falling.
Upon touching her, I realized that she was not only extremely sick, but also extremely hot.
Shen Dingzhu was in his arms, her black hair was messy, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, and even though she was unconscious, her eyebrows were still frowning.
Xu Shou was explaining matters outside when he heard a loud bang behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Langyan holding Shen Dingzhu with a gloomy face, kicked open the door and went straight to his own room.
After placing the person on the bed, Xiao Langyan ordered in a cold voice: "Go and call the doctor over."
Shen Dingzhu took a long sleep, and when he woke up again, he didn't know how many days later it was.
Her whole body felt like it was falling apart, she was so sore, as if she had sweated profusely, and was very weak.
As soon as Shen Dingzhu sat up, he saw Xiao Langyan sitting behind the table and reading a book not far away. He was tall and straight, leaning on the seat. He was wearing blue clothes and looked particularly cool and solemn.
Realizing the gaze, he looked up: "Are you awake? There is medicine next to you, drink it."
Shen Dingzhu looked to his side. On the low mahogany table next to the couch, there was a bowl of brown decoction, and two candied green plums next to it.
When the bowl was picked up, it was actually still warm.
She was in a daze.
When she was sick in her previous life, she refused to take medicine because she was afraid of the pain. Xiao Langyan was the same way and ordered two plums to be prepared.
Seeing that she was motionless, only looking at him with her red eyes, Xiao Langyan put down the book and asked in a lazy tone: "Are you stupid?"
