Chapter 134 Smashing
"I don't know."
Zhu Xin and Liu Si looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhu Xin said, "This servant has already inquired about it. The prince's guards at Aunt Qi's place are so bad that not even a mosquito can get in."
"I don't know what serious crime she committed." Zhu Xin has been asking about this matter today. Although it was Aunt Qi who was in trouble, it is always a good thing to know more about her.
"I heard that the concubine was also trying to find out the news, but she came back empty-handed." Liu Si added.
"Since the prince doesn't want others to know, just keep a close eye on it from now on."
Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly, and she flapped her butterfly wings. Many things were a little different, so she couldn't guess what Qi Qing had done.
In the cold winter, Shen Lingshu was enjoying the joy of raising a baby while paying attention to the things in the mansion. Soon, she realized that something was wrong.
The prince had clearly returned to the palace, but he had not set foot in the backyard for four consecutive days.
"Zhu Xin, the prince didn't enter the backyard?"
Shen Lingshu was worried. Qi Qing was still under house arrest. Now that there was nothing important happening in the capital, the prince would come to see the two children no matter how busy he was!
"No."
Zhu Xin inquired for a while before comforting him, "Master, perhaps the prince is busy with government affairs and has no time to enter the backyard."
wrong.
Shen Lingshu keenly sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't put her finger on it.
Qiutang Courtyard.
"Concubine Shen is here?"
When Concubine Fang saw Shen Lingshu, her eyes were full of smiles.
"Is the concubine feeling better?"
Shen Lingshu suppressed the shock in her heart and asked with a smile.
Qi Qing was under house arrest, and now the only ones who came to pay their respects to Qiutang Courtyard were her, Aunt Cheng, and Aunt Lin.
Lin Baozhu has not appeared since the last time they decided to cooperate. It seems that she has been recuperating. After not seeing her for a long time, Lin Baozhu's complexion is much better than before.
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Chen. I'm much better now." Concubine Fang's voice was dignified and generous.
Aunt Li stayed in the courtyard to take care of her pregnancy and did not come out. She was much more casual when she paid her respects in the morning. Concubine Fang kept asking her to serve the prince more and give birth to a child as soon as possible.
After paying respects, Shen Lingshu kept thinking on the way back: "Zhu Xin, do you feel that Concubine Fang's eyes are not right?"
She graduated from the Department of Acting, and in order to perform better, she worked hard to study micro-expressions and eye contact.
Just now, Concubine Fang looked at her with a hint of sympathy, a hint of schadenfreude, and more of it was the joy of seeing her being stepped on.
"Master, there's something wrong with the concubine's eyes. When did she become so happy to see you?" Zhu Xin was confused.
Zhu Xin asked worriedly, "Master, could it be that the concubine is planning something bad again?"
"Maybe?"
Shen Lingshu always felt something was wrong, that look...
Shen Lingshu pondered all the way and finally figured it out when she returned to Youlan Courtyard. That look was the joy of seeing her enemy in trouble.
In a flash, Shen Lingshu remembered that the prince had never entered the backyard and had not even come to see his two daughters. Shen Lingshu even felt that this might be directed at her!
Qi Qing was under house arrest, maybe it had something to do with her.
Shen Lingshu lowered her eyes and secretly sorted out what had happened in the past few days.
The most exciting thing in the mansion is...
Song Yuqing and his brother Shen Xinghe came to the mansion, and it happened that the concubine Fang was poisoned that day.
Shen Xinghe is still young, so...
Shen Lingshu suddenly felt an idea flash, and she asked: "Zhu Xin, when we saw Xing and them in the lake that day, did you meet anyone?"
"ah?"
Zhu Xin was worried that Concubine Fang was going to harm her master. Suddenly, she heard her question and paused for a moment before thinking carefully. She said, "I ran into Concubine Qi and Zhehua, but I didn't say hello."
"That's right."
Shen Lingshu understood instantly, perhaps this is the key!
"What's right?" Zhu Xin was even more confused.
Shen Lingshu didn't say anything more. She thought carefully about the script. The relationship between Shen Lingshu and Song Yuqing did not cross the line at all. They even knew each other as children and had never met since they entered Kyoto.
Shen Lingshu felt relieved. At this moment, she also understood why Concubine Fang looked so gloating and happy.
Let alone a prince of such noble status as Chu Cong, any man would probably not be able to stand his woman liking another man? She was a childhood sweetheart with another man, or even almost became his wife, right?
Previously, she had always thought that by introducing Song Yuqing in a graceful manner, she could dispel this idea. Now, perhaps someone wanted to use Song Yuqing to throw dirty water on her?
Shen Lingshu's eyes flashed slightly: No matter whether this incident is related to Song Yuqing or not, she must seize the opportunity and remove this hidden danger, this nail with her own hands!
After dinner, Shen Lingshu had just coaxed the twin sisters to sleep when she saw Chu Cong, who looked cold, walk in.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
Shen Lingshu bowed respectfully, and her eyes went dark. The next moment, she was thrown onto the bed.
It’s better to say smashing than throwing.
When Shen Lingshu was smashed onto the bed, even with the soft bedding, she felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart. She didn't even have time to cry out in pain. The moment Chu Cong pressed down on her, compared to his usual gentleness, today's Chu Cong was like he had been drugged for the first time.
He ripped her clothes off without mercy. Shen Lingshu frowned: "Your Majesty..."
Shen Lingshu didn't even have the chance to speak. She was like a flower in a rainstorm, completely powerless to resist.
Again, again, and again...
Shen Lingshu's voice was hoarse from crying, and she didn't even remember when she fell asleep.
until……
"water."
Shen Lingshu opened her eyes and felt a severe pain in her throat and body.
"The water is coming."
Zhu Xin hurried forward with some water, carefully fed him the water, and said distressedly, "Master, are you okay?"
Zhu Xin's voice was choked with sobs as she said, "Your Highness is going too far! How can my master, with such a delicate body, endure this?"
When I was wiping my master's body at noon today, the bruises on his body were more severe than usual.
Even the prince last night was very scary.
"Where's the prince?"
When Shen Lingshu opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was very hoarse. She looked up at the weather and said, "Oh no, what time is it now?"
"Si time."
Zhu Xin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Master, you don't need to pay your respects today."
"fine."
Shen Lingshu was a little scared when she thought about last night. Chu Cong usually restrained himself. If something like what happened yesterday happened, she was afraid that he would die in bed sooner or later.
“What’s good about that!”
Zhu Xin spoke up for her master and said angrily, "My master has done nothing wrong, why does the prince put him under house arrest?"
Shen Lingshu: "..."
You don't recognize me just because you pulled up your pants?
