Chapter 286 Patience and Guidance
"What does this have to do with you! I'm telling you, Song Ci, no matter what you're thinking, don't target me!"
Seeing her alert expression, Song Ci lowered her voice, "You like Master Ji, but Master Ji has only Song Rouxi in his heart from beginning to end. Don't you feel bad? Song Rouxi just used him and calculated against him, but he was happy to do it. Seeing your beloved being bullied like this, you must feel bad, right? Even now that Song Rouxi has arrived in the Crown Prince's Palace, Master Ji is still so worried about her. Tell me, if she had been alive, how could you and Master Ji have been together?"
Miss Lian thought for a moment, her eyes showing a strange look. "Why don't you just say what you want to say?"
"Okay, Song Rouxi has been imprisoned. She poisoned Miss Huan Yingsi of the Huan family in the palace. I believe you will know this news soon."
"you mean...."
"The Crown Prince is now determined to protect her. If Song Rouxi is to die, the Crown Prince will have to give up protecting her first."
Miss Lian frowned, "But the prince wants to protect me. How can I convince him?"
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, "Did you forget something?"
"What?" Miss Lian suddenly had a guess.
"Song Rouxi and the Crown Prince were able to be together because of your help. If the Crown Prince knew that everything was planned by Song Rouxi and that her sincerity and kindness were all an act, would he still protect Song Rouxi?"
Miss Lian's eyes were filled with horror. "You mean to leak this news to the Crown Prince?"
"Whether or not to do this, and how to do it, is up to you. I'm just offering a small suggestion. After all, you've been wanting to marry Master Ji for years, and whether you can get your wish depends on this one time."
"But, but even if Song Rouxi is gone, Master Ji may not marry me!" Miss Lian bit her lower lip, her face full of confusion.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Love grows with time.' When he's heartbroken and sad, with someone like you by his side who understands him and knows Song Rouxi, it's inevitable that he won't be moved. If you can't do it to this extent, then I can only say that you're useless."
The useless words made her cheeks red with anger. "I understand. I will do as you say! I'm not as useless as you say!"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Song Ci stood up and said in a gentle tone, "Then I will wait for good news."
On the way back in the carriage, listening to the bustling sounds outside the carriage, Song Ci suddenly felt an unprecedented calm in his heart. The Song family's first wife, next, it was the turn of the second wife and Old Lady Song.
On a chosen day, Song Rouxi, who was still immersed in the memory of having survived the disaster, thought happily about the prince's reaction at that time and smiled.
See, you still can't escape from your own palm.
The Crown Prince still cared about her. Who said she had no chance of becoming the Crown Princess? Now that Huan Yingsi was dead, she was the only one left who could become the Crown Princess.
Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on her face, which made the maid next to her shudder.
Ziyuan had been dragged away and beaten to death with sticks, and blood was all over the ground.
When he was carried away, he couldn't even retract his tongue, and everyone knew who was the culprit.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me my cosmetics. How can you meet the Crown Prince if you don't dress up properly?" Song Rouxi glanced at the maid and smiled gently.
But the maid felt a chill on her back and forced herself to stay calm and get the cosmetics.
She was one of the maids who had tortured Song Rouxi in those days, and she was the oldest. Song Rouxi was saved, and she was forced to serve her and put in front of her.
The purpose is to torture her.
As the powder was handed over, Song Rouxi pretended to reach out to take it, and with a sweep of her sleeve, the powder rolled to the ground, rolling a distance, and the powder inside was scattered all over the ground.
The maid was stunned for a moment, and Song Rouxi raised her hand and slapped her, "Bitch, you can't even pick up a powder, what use are you!"
The slap made the maid's ears buzz. The blow was quite heavy. She subconsciously knelt down to pick up the powder box, but the foot in the exquisite embroidered shoes stepped hard on her hand, causing her to gasp in pain.
"Song Liangdi, I was wrong. I will deal with it now! Ahhhhhhh..."
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she spoke, Song Rouxi's feet became stronger, and she rubbed her fingers repeatedly with the soles of her shoes with an expressionless face.
"You know you're wrong? What's wrong with that? Idiots like you deserve to die. Where's the courage you had when you bullied me? Did you know I could still turn things around one day? Hahahaha, I'm telling you, I won't let you die now. When I become the Crown Princess, you'll be the first one to be sacrificed."
The maid was about to cry, but she had no tears when the door was pushed open.
Song Rouxi turned around unexpectedly and met the prince's surprised gaze. She hurriedly retracted her foot, "Prince, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The prince glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, tears still on her face, and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
"You said she was really stupid. She was kneeling on the ground to pick up something, but I didn't see it and accidentally stepped on it." She turned her head and her eyes showed no threat. "She is so clumsy. The prince is here. Why don't you go down and clean up quickly?"
The maidservant quickly lowered her head. She was so frightened after what had happened that she dared not disobey and went downstairs in a hurry.
The prince still looked a little doubtful, but he had something more important to do today.
"I came here today because of something."
Song Rouxi held the prince's arm affectionately, with a coquettish look on her face, "Prince, you only come to me when you have something to do, and you won't come to me for nothing." She was half aggrieved and half naughty, which dazzled the prince's eyes for a while.
"Today, Concubine Rong came to Queen Mother's palace and sat for a while. She seemed to have said something. Queen Mother has sent someone to find you. I came here early because I wanted to ask you if there was anything I didn't know."
Seeing Song Rouxi hesitate, he spoke again, "If you don't tell me now, if the Queen Mother gets angry later, I don't know how to protect you."
Rong Guipin? She racked her brains before she finally thought of someone. Lian'er?
But Lian'er had no reason to harm himself. Maybe he asked his aunt to plead for him. She and Lian'er have always had a good relationship. That must be the case.
"Your Highness is being overly suspicious. I dare not lie to you. You are the person I cherish most in the world."
The prince sighed, "In that case, let's go together."
Song Rouxi nodded obediently and followed the prince out.
As he passed by the door, the maid who had just left happened to come back and stepped aside to make way. She just pinched her skirt with both hands. This angle allowed the prince to see the wound on her hand clearly. The back of her left hand was bruised and swollen, and the injury was very serious.
Thinking of what Song Rouxi said just now, that she just stepped on it accidentally, the prince's eyes dimmed.
