An isolated city
Chai Heng looked back at Luo Jin, turned around and strode away.
Chai Jing couldn't help laughing. It seemed that something good would happen tonight.
Luo Jin guessed that Chai Heng would definitely go to the land temple to check after seeing the note. Even if he didn't get anything, it would be a wasted trip. He thought that he had met more than one person today, so he might not doubt that the note was written by her. Even if he doubted it, she could only deny that she couldn't read, and he could only doubt it.
There was nothing for her to do next. She yawned and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, although Luo Jin paid close attention, he didn't hear any disappearance. He felt a little disappointed, thinking that Chai Heng didn't catch anyone.
After all, the other party is an important villain in the book, and the second prince can only be regarded as a big grudge supporting role, so it is normal that he can't deal with him.
Chai Jing saw that Luo Jin looked worried, and she just thought it was funny, and handed her a plate of pastries, "I don't like this, you take it and eat it, don't waste it!"
[This looks delicious! ]
[There is delicious food, hehe...]
[But I'm still very angry, Chai Heng, that waste, is too weak, he is useless even if he is given a chance! ]
[I can't carry him, I can't carry him...]
Chai Jing still couldn't help telling her, "My second brother seemed to have caught a spy from the enemy country last night... It seems that he will be busy in the next few days and has no time to play with me."
[It turns out that he caught it, not bad. ]
[I said, how could such a simple task be impossible to complete? 】
Chai Jing asked Luo Jin to leave, and got up and went to Chaoqian Hall.
The emperor was talking to Chai Heng in the hall. When he saw Chai Jing come in, he waved to her, "Sit down! You are familiar with Qin Huaying, so you go to see her. I can't let Heng'er go to see her, for fear that he will be soft-hearted.
" Chai Jing nodded, "Is she in Tianlao?"
"Yes, she is locked up alone and has not been treated harshly," the emperor's smile was a little cruel, "The child in her belly cannot die, it is Jiang Ge's child, it is valuable!"
Chai Heng showed some reluctance, "She is just a girl..."
The emperor was a little unhappy, "Don't you think about it, if you...or your sister falls into the hands of the enemy, what will they do to you?"
Chai Heng stopped talking, he could imagine how terrible the consequences would be.
The emperor said, "This matter must not be leaked. I have sent a message to negotiate with the Western Yuan Kingdom. At least they must cede three cities to us. No... three is not enough, five! Five cities, this is the bottom line. Of course, the more the better. It would be best if we can get more money."
"If the negotiation is successful, will you return the prince and... Miss Qin to them?"
"Of course the prince must be returned, but Miss Qin... she is from our Dongyuan, how can we give her to them?" The emperor smiled, "Of course she must stay in Dongyuan."
Chai Heng was startled, but heard Chai Jing impatiently saying: "Are you stupid? If the prince is not returned to them, they will change the prince, and then the prince and Qin Huaying will be worthless. Only when the prince is returned, the child in Qin Huaying's belly will be valuable, stupid!"
The emperor couldn't help but follow up and said: "Stupid!"
Chai Heng: "..."
...
Luo Jin had just fallen asleep when she heard a faint knock on the door outside.
"I'm not on duty, I'll find someone else if I have something to do..." She muttered, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Jin'er, you're not asleep yet?" A woman's voice came from outside.
"Who would stay awake so late at night..." Luo Jin wanted to continue pretending to sleep, but suddenly felt that the voice was familiar, as if it was... the princess' voice?
She turned over, got up and opened the door, and sure enough, she saw Chai Jing standing outside her door.
"Princess..."
"I said you haven't slept yet... Get up and go out for a walk with me!"
"..."
Luo Jin could only put on her clothes and followed Chai Jing with sleepy eyes. She didn't know where she wanted to go, but just walked around in a daze. It wasn't
until she saw the words "Tianlao" above her head that she suddenly woke up.
How did she get to Tianlao?
She reacted quickly and roughly guessed it.
The princess came to see Qin Huaying, and Nanny Zhao beside her was still carrying a food box!
It was already the middle of the night. Qin Huaying wouldn't eat a midnight snack to keep in shape, right? But it's not necessarily the case. After all, she was pregnant and needed more nutrition.
The group entered the sky prison. The prison guard opened the door for them and led them down a remote staircase. They walked for a long time to the end.
Most of the cells here were empty. After walking around a few times, they finally stopped.
Luo Jin saw Qin Huaying sitting on a chair in one of the cells. She was not locked up, her clothes were not changed into prison clothes, and even the cell door was not closed. But her face was haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, her lips were pale, and there was no trace of blood.
"What happened to her? It's only been a few days, how could she become like this?"
Chai Jing said lightly: "She's on a hunger strike."
"Ah? Why?" Luo Jin always felt that this was not something Qin Huaying could do. She was obviously a person who loved herself so much.
Chai Jing pointed at the food box in Nanny Zhao's hand, "Eat something, otherwise the child will really be lost."
Qin Huaying's face was pale and her voice was hoarse, "Agree to my request!"
"Impossible!" "
Then I'd rather starve to death!"
Chai Jing smiled. She sat on the chair that the jailer had just brought in, with an expression as if watching a show. She looked at her fingers and whispered, "You have been better than me, prettier than me, and better than me in everything since you were a child. But I'm a princess, and you can never compare to me in this respect!"
Qin Huaying stared at Chai Jing with hatred, her eyes were full of bloodshot, and her expression was extremely terrifying. She was completely different from the dignified and generous young lady in the past.
Chai Jing said slowly, "No matter how hard you try, you can't be as lucky as me, right? You want to be the queen of Xiyuan Kingdom, thinking that you can ascend to heaven in one step, but you are not destined to be so!"
Luo Jin stood aside in a daze. She didn't know why Chai Jing brought her here in the middle of the night, nor did she know what happened between these two fake sisters, and she didn't understand why Qin Huaying, who cherished her life so much, would go
on a hunger strike. She didn't know, and didn't dare to ask, so she could only stand aside and yawn.
Chai Jing was bored and took the initiative to explain.
"I brought you here because I think good things will happen with you," Chai Jing turned to Luo Jin, "I don't know why recently, but I feel very lucky whenever I have anything to do with you. You are my... lucky star now, I will take you with me wherever I go." Lucky
star yawned and nodded silently.
She was also willing to follow Chai Jing, because this wealthy boss gave out bonuses from time to time, and she liked it.
"You're curious why the eldest daughter of the Qin family is on a hunger strike, right?" Chai Jing narrowed her eyes and smiled. "She wants to follow Jiang Ge to Xiyuan and become the Crown Princess... Ha, wishful thinking! I want her and her child to stay in Dongyuan as hostages for the rest of her life, and I will never let her go."
"So, she wants to use hunger strike to fight for the opportunity to go to Xiyuan. Indeed, if she dies, or her child dies, it will not be good for our Dongyuan, and Xiyuan is willing to pay to redeem her."
"But what? I bet she dares not die, let alone let the child die. If the child dies, her life will be worthless."
"What? You still have time to eat now, otherwise if you really starve to death, then prepare to rot in this prison!"
Luo Jin's mind was working quickly, and he finally figured it out.
The current situation is that Qin Huaying is betting that Emperor Dongyuan dare not let her child die, while Chai Jing is betting that Qin Huaying will not let the child die. Both parties are betting on the child's life. This child is really unlucky.
Luo Jin thought of the TV series she had watched, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
She quietly picked up a rose cake, crushed it and hid it in her palm, then took a plate of freshly cooked dumplings and walked towards Qin Huaying, advising: "Miss Qin, these dumplings are so fragrant, you smell it! It's so fragrant!"
Qin Huaying has been hungry for several days. Although she resisted moving when she smelled the fragrance of the dumplings, her stomach couldn't help but start to "gurgle". She turned her head to the side and closed her eyes to avoid looking at the plate of dumplings.
Luo Jin took the opportunity to throw the rose cake at Qin Huaying's feet, and suddenly shouted, "Ah, it's blood! Miss Qin is bleeding! What should I do? Will she have a miscarriage if she bleeds? Will she lose the baby?"
Qin Huaying was shocked. She looked down and saw a bright red patch under her feet. At this time, she was dizzy and couldn't bend down. She couldn't see the ball of stuff clearly, but she only felt her stomach aching. She was holding on with her last breath. Seeing that her most important child was about to die, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears, "Save...save my child...call the imperial physician...save me..."
Luo Jin said in embarrassment, "But you are not sick. The imperial physician can't do anything about the problem of hunger...why don't you drink this bowl of porridge? The imperial physician is coming soon!"
She took advantage of Qin Huaying's hesitation and poured a bowl of porridge into her mouth.
Qin Huaying finally swallowed the porridge that Luo Jin poured into her. Her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fainted due to panic and fear.
Chai Jing clapped her hands and laughed, "She is really my lucky star! I was really afraid that she would die. Okay, I will record your great merit and reward you greatly!"
[Heavy rewards? Are you going to get rich? ]
[Did financial freedom come so suddenly? ]
[Fortunately, I've watched TV dramas and know that pregnant women are most afraid of bleeding. ]
[Fortunately, the child's life was saved. Poor child, his mother didn't love him at all. She just wanted to use him to exchange for Ronghua and wealth. ]
Chai Jing smiled.
Sure enough, giving money is the most direct way to hear the voice of the heart, and it takes a long time.
She heard Chai Heng say that he once heard her voice when he helped Luo Jin repel Aunt Liu, but the time was very short.
Instead of thinking of other ways, it is better to give money directly, which is fast and convenient.
...
Qin Huaying's child is safe and sound. After the diagnosis, the imperial physician said: "If it is hungry for a few more hours, the child may really not be able to be saved."
Chai Jing finally felt relieved. If Qin Huaying's child was gone, her job would be ruined, and she would definitely be scolded to death by her father.
She waved her hand and directly gave Luo Jin a silver note of 1,000 taels.
Money-loving Luo Jin's eyes lit up and he took the note with both hands.
[Money, money, money! Lots of money!]
[Get rich, get rich!]
"By the way, I have something to tell you," Chai Jing said, "My second brother wants to send Jiang Ge to Xiyuan for exchange, and he said he wants to take you with him."
