Chapter 530 Suspicious
Every day when Concubine Xiao got up, she would find a reason to stay in bed.
She is very bad at getting out of bed, but she is very good at staying in bed.
Baoqin gave earnest advice in the tone of an old mother educating her useless daughter.
"It is said that a day's plan begins in the morning, but you waste your precious time sleeping. You are simply wasting your time."
"Is sleeping a waste of time? No, it's not. Not sleeping is a waste of time. What is the purpose of studying and working hard every day? Isn't the end result to make ourselves happy? Being able to do what you want to do and what you like to do is the real happiness. Like me, I like to eat and sleep, eating and sleeping makes me happy, and I have enough conditions to eat and drink, which means I have lived my ideal life and my life is complete!"
Baoqin: “…”
She sincerely expressed her admiration: "This is the first time I've seen someone describe sleeping in so refreshingly."
After a battle of wits and courage, Baoqin finally won and successfully dug out the big salted fish, Concubine Xiao, from the bed.
Xiao Xixi sat in front of the dressing mirror, yawning constantly.
Baoqin skillfully helped her to dress up.
After finishing breakfast, Xue came to Qingge Palace.
Xue came to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
"The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. What gift will you give her?"
Xiao Xixi said lazily: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Xue took out a brocade box, placed it in front of her, and said with a smile.
"We know you don't have any good stuff on you, so your father and I prepared it for you in advance. This is a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng that your father specially used his connections to find. You can give it to the Queen Mother as a gift."
She took the initiative to open the brocade box, revealing the ginseng quietly placed inside.
Baoqin took a look at the ginseng in the box.
Even though she didn't know much, she could tell that this was indeed a top-quality ginseng.
But compared with the ginseng that Concubine Xiao gave to Queen Qin last time, it is still a far cry.
Xue thought that Xiao Xixi would be surprised after seeing this ginseng. After all, this ginseng was indeed rare. A child like Xiao Xixi, who grew up in a nunnery, must have never seen such a good thing.
But in fact, the expression on Xiao Xixi's face did not change at all.
"Thank you for your kindness. You can take this ginseng back. I don't need it here."
Xue thought that she didn't know the value of the product and emphasized it again.
"This is top-quality ginseng. Your father spent more than five hundred taels of silver to buy it, and also paid a favor. You can use it as a gift. Even if it's not outstanding, it will at least be as good as others. We spent so much effort, but it's all for you."
Xiao Xixi still shook her head: "I really don't need it."
Xue frowned and said, "Why are you so stubborn? If you don't want this ginseng, what are you going to give as a gift to the Queen Mother?"
Xiao Xixi: "I will discuss this matter with the prince."
Xue thought her idea was too naive. Even if the prince doted on her, there was a limit to how much he loved her. He couldn't possibly take care of everything for her. After all, the prince had so many things to do, he was too busy to handle them all, so how could he have the time to help her deal with such a small matter? !
But Xiao Xixi's attitude was very firm.
She refused to accept the ginseng.
Xue couldn't force her, so she could only leave Qingge Palace with a heart full of worry.
In the General Zhongwu's mansion.
When Xiao Lingfeng saw that Xue had brought back the ginseng, he immediately asked, "Why didn't you give the ginseng to Concubine Xiao?"
Xue said helplessly, "She refused to accept it."
Xiao Lingfeng was very surprised: "She doesn't want such good ginseng, is there anything wrong with her brain?"
"I don't understand her either. She just doesn't want it. There's nothing I can do about it."
When Xue said this, her tone was full of regret.
"I think she still hates us. No matter how we try to please her, she won't accept it. She is too stubborn. We really shouldn't have sent her away in the first place. If we could have taken her with us and taken care of her, she wouldn't be so estranged from us."
Xiao Lingfeng comforted her, "This is all the fault of that liar. He caused our family to be separated."
Xue had a worried look on her face and sighed repeatedly.
…
Luo Yechen relied on his wealth to hire a large number of people to search the mountain.
After searching for three consecutive days, they finally found a suspicious place in Pingtou Mountain.
When the news was known by the Yulin Guard hiding in the dark, it was immediately conveyed to the commander of the Yulin Guard, Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian hurriedly ran to ask for an audience with the prince.
"Your Highness, the men under the King of England have found a villa in Pingtou Mountain. The location of the villa is extremely hidden, and there are special guards around it, which looks very suspicious. The King of England suspects that King You is hiding in the villa, but the villa is very well protected. The men under the King of England cannot break in and can only wander around the villa."
Although the King of England has many men under his command, there are very few experts among them.
The guards of that villa were all experts, and the people brought by the King of England were no match for them at all.
Luo Qinghan: "Do you know who the owner of that villa is?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully, "I have already asked people to check, but they couldn't find anything. The government has no record of the villa at all. If the King of England hadn't found the villa by accident this time, no one would have known that there was such a villa hidden in Pingtou Mountain until now."
From this perspective, the villa looks even more suspicious.
Luo Qinghan didn't trust the King of England's brain, so he decided to go to Pingtou Mountain to take a look himself.
Zhao Xian brought three hundred Yulin Guards to escort the prince to Pingtou Mountain.
Deep in the mountains, stands a mysterious villa. There is no plaque at the entrance of the villa. From the outside, it does not have any special features and gives people a very inconspicuous feeling.
But King Luo Yechen of England did not dare to underestimate this unremarkable villa at all.
He sent out the best kung fu masters among his men, hoping that they would sneak into the villa to check out the situation. However, they all disappeared and have not been heard from since.
As for breaking into the villa by force, Luo Yechen tried it twice, but both times ended in failure.
Now many of Luo Yechen's men have been killed, but the mysterious villa is still as stable as a rock, without any damage at all.
Luo Yechen was very anxious at this moment.
He felt that King You Luo Yunxuan must be hiding in the villa, but he couldn't get in. What should he do?
Is he really going to send troops here?
He was just a figurehead prince, with neither fiefdom nor military power, so he couldn't deploy troops even if he wanted to.
Unless he reports the matter to the court.
However, he had no actual evidence to prove that King You was hiding in the villa. Even if he reported it to the court, given his father's partiality for King You, he might turn a blind eye and let it go.
Just when Luo Yechen was hesitating, the prince arrived with three hundred Yulin Guards!
