"For the sake of you staying with me for so long, tell me what happened, how Qianqian died, why His Highness hasn't come back yet, why did the princess suddenly bring so many people here, does she know anything? ?”
After crying for a long time, Chu Xin slowly calmed down. Chu Xin asked word for word, just wanting to find out what happened.
"Mrs. Side, I really don't know what happened. An hour ago, the princess asked the people around her to give some instructions and asked me to take the people in Qixia Courtyard to do it, but when she came back, it was like this. "
Luzhu felt guilty and sad. Qianqian died, and she also felt sad. After all, they had lived together in Qixia Courtyard for so long, so they had some feelings for her.
"I want to hear the truth."
Chu Xin still didn't want to believe it. She didn't believe that what these people said could be so ridiculous. It was a human life. Why was there no explanation why Qianqian was allowed to die at such a beautiful age?
"Mrs. Side," Luzhu suddenly cried and knelt on the ground, "I dare to swear that what you said is true. I really don't know what happened. I really don't know how Qianqian died!"
"Forget it, I believe you are telling the truth, you can go out."
Chu Xin closed her eyes in despair, unwilling to say anything more.
The rope was wrapped tightly around his body, but the pain in his body was nothing at all. When he thought of the little girl who used to be by his side, he was gone, and he felt how much his heart hurt.
"The rope on Madam Side must be very uncomfortable. I'll untie it for you. Madam, please stay in the house and don't go out. I don't know if His Highness can come back these days. The princess has the final say in everything in the house. Madam Side, please don’t make the princess angry!”
Lu Lu stood up and wiped her tears, squatted beside the bed and slowly untied the rope around Chu Xin's body, and saw that her hands were wrapped with red marks.
Seeing Chu Xin lying on the bed unwilling to open her eyes, Lu Zhu knew that she would never be able to return to the past. Her real masters would only be the prince and the princess, and she could only say sorry to Mrs. Side.
Three days have passed, and every day only Lu Lu comes to deliver food and help her scrub her body, and says nothing else.
"Tell me, what happened outside? Where is Qianqian? Where are those people who were killed together? Were they all buried properly?"
Chu Xin had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and she couldn't eat the meals delivered every day. Except when Lu Lu came to deliver the meals every day, the door would not open at all.
"Mrs. Side, it's better not to ask questions and just stay in the house. This is for your own good."
Lu Lu sighed, shook her head helplessly, and placed the food on the table, even though Chu Xin didn't know how to use it at all.
"In the past year or so, you have been with me, and I have never treated you badly, let alone beat or scolded you. Even if it is just because of this kind of affection, please tell me!"
Chu Xin begged.
"What do you want to hear? Why don't you just come and ask me!"
When she saw Chu Yi coming, Luzhu was startled and quickly knelt on the ground.
"I knew you would never stay peacefully in the house, so I came over to see for myself. You all go down!"
Chu Yi waved her hand, told everyone to go down, and closed the door.
Today she looks particularly proud of herself. She is wearing a red dress. The layer of rouge on her lips is so bright, and the golden hairpin on her bun is so dazzling. Compared with the lost Chu Xin, she is really beautiful. Just like the clouds in the sky
"Qianqian and the two people serving her died in the house that day. Don't worry, I have sent people to bury their bodies alive. Apart from that, what else do you want to ask?"
Chu Yi sat beside the bed and slowly helped Chu Xin up. She could see that the whole person looked very weak, with pale lips and sallow complexion.
"Qianqian, who killed His Highness? It's been three days and he hasn't come back yet?"
This was really the last life-saving straw for Chu Xin. When she came to this strange place, Xiao Zhi was the only one she could rely on, but it seemed that Xiao Zhi was always absent at this time.
"I'm afraid you don't know what happened these days. Qianqian only went to the palace during the day to explain to His Majesty what happened in Zengwan County and what King Xuan did. But when he came back at night, he was dead. You said this Who did it?"
Chu Yi said with a smile, as if to her it was just an insignificant person who died, but on the contrary, it was good for them to die.
"King Xuan?" Chu Xin blurted out, but the next second she felt something was wrong.
"But if you kill someone to vent your anger at this moment, doesn't it make it clear who the murderer is? What's more, who can break into the palace, why is there no sound? Why did most of the people in Qixiayuan leave that day? This has nothing to do with you and His Highness Does it matter?"
Chu Xin shook her head in disbelief. She always felt that something was wrong. Even though everyone felt that it was really King Xuan who did it, something still felt wrong.
"You'd better not mess around. The person is dead, and I sent someone to bury him alive. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? The moment I saw the person dead, I already sent someone to tell His Highness, and Your Highness will naturally seek justice. .”
Chu Yi frowned and was a little impatient. She was not willing to explain. If it wasn't to comfort Chu Xin a little, she wouldn't be willing to say so much.
"Most of the people in Qixiayuan left that day because I had something to tell them to do. Could it be that as the princess, I don't even have the right to order my servants?
What do you mean by being paranoid here? Now that this matter has been brought before His Majesty, His Majesty will naturally make the decision, and King Xuan can also suffer the consequences! "
Chu Yi said the last sentence with extra force. Thinking that Princess Xuan always came diligently on weekdays, and thinking of what she had said intentionally or unintentionally, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
"No!" Chu Xin suddenly shouted. She raised her head and stared at Chu Yi's face, "Then why are you so calm? Why didn't Xiao Zhi come back once? You must have secrets that you are all hiding. I!"
Maybe this is what really makes people feel chilling. At this moment, Chu Xin understands what it feels like to be an outsider.
At the critical moment, she was excluded and did not deserve to know all the plans. She just needed to stay in the house peacefully.
"That's enough!" Chu Yi suddenly slapped him, "It's been three days, haven't you calmed down yet? If you dare to yell at me, have you forgotten who you are!"
Chu Yi retracted her hand, walked to the window impatiently, and took a few deep breaths.
"You really should know your identity clearly. Now that His Highness is not in the palace, I have the final say in everything. Do you think you are the princess and that everyone must listen to you?"
Chu Yi wanted to be as arrogant and sarcastic as ever before. In fact, wasn't Chu Xin like this every time in front of her?
When suppressed by status, everyone can only humblely obey, without the slightest possibility of resistance.
"I want to see Xiao Zhi, when will he come back?"
Chu Xin sat up, put her hands around her legs, put her head on her knees, and stared at the quilt blankly.
She didn't know many people here, and her only support was Xiao Zhi.
"Now this is a critical time. His Highness naturally has his own things to do. I'm afraid he won't have time to come back. Please stop making trouble. As women, we can't cause trouble to our husbands. Just stay in the house.
As long as His Highness gets more things, we can also take advantage of it. Chu Xin, please be calm! "
Chu Yi just looked out the window boredly, seeing that there were chairs and a small table here, thinking that Chu Xin often sat here and looked out the window the same way.
What is there to see outside the window? Isn’t it always the same thing?
After a long time, Chu Yi himself felt bored. Anyway, only a few people died and they were all buried.
Chu Xin will be able to figure it out in a few days. The days now are nothing, and the days in the future will be easy, and that is the most important thing.
Hearing the sound of the door closing again, Chu Xin's heart slowly sank, never to see the light of day again.
Losing is really a complete loss. It is such a risky thing to put everything on one person. Only now do I know what it feels like to be alone.
The only person to rely on is Xiao Zhi, but it seems that he has not seen him for a long time, as if he has become a stranger.
"What happened that night and where were you?"
Mingyu looked at Luzhu coldly. He had been locked up for several days. What else could he not understand? Luzhu must have known something that day.
"I have said it several times. I really don't know what happened that night. It was indeed the people around the princess who asked me to do something. That's why I left Qixiayuan. When I came back, I heard that something had happened. It’s a life-threatening incident, but as long as you and Mrs. Side are fine, it’ll be fine.”
Lulu shook her head. There was really no way. She really didn't know what happened. Even if there was any secret, how could she let a servant who was serving people know about it?
"The person who died is Qianqian. She has been with us for so long. Didn't she have any feelings at all? Can you say this so calmly?"
Mingyu was so angry that she turned her head and cried silently. No one could help them now. Everyone in the palace would only listen to the princess. Her Highness didn't know when she would come back.
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
"Just think that I made a mistake, but you have to believe that I never had any intention of harming my wife. On the contrary, I hope that she will be well. Now you just have to be obedient and don't cause any trouble again!
Don’t you understand the current situation yet? Everything is decided by the princess. If she is really unhappy, Mrs. Side's life will be lost! "
Lu Lu was also anxious, her eyes were red when she was anxious, and she felt really guilty and wronged. She was already able to help Mrs. Side to the maximum extent, so what else could she do?
If it were someone sent by the princess, they would not be so concerned about Madam Fang and Mingyu. They would scrub their bodies so carefully and persuade them to eat more.
"But when will His Highness come back? The only one Mrs. Side can rely on is Your Highness. If even His Highness cannot be relied upon, I can't imagine what she will do."
Mingyu wiped the tears on his face and said that this move was a mistake. It was a big mistake!
"Don't worry too much. His Highness has a place for his wife in his heart. When he asked me to come to Qixia Courtyard to serve her, he told me to take good care of her. His Highness should have his own plans."
Lu Lu had no choice but to comfort her one by one, but Mrs. Side was just Mrs. Side. When something really happened, it was the princess who should listen to her words.
"You don't understand. It's precisely because you have too high expectations for this relationship that you feel disappointed. If it was nothing at the beginning, you won't be disappointed now."
Mingyu smiled bitterly, this is what really makes him sad.
