The 14th day of the first lunar month
Today is the last day of the three-day deadline that Leng Yu ordered Leng Xi to capture the people from Beihai Kingdom. Today is also the day when Yuan Gang's body was thrown into the mass grave.
Considering that Yuan Gang had served him faithfully for more than ten years, he ordered his housekeeper to secretly take people to bury Yuan Gang, so that his life with him would not be in vain.
After arranging these things, he paced back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back, making plans in his mind.
In any case, he had to keep calm during the four days before the 18th day of the first lunar month and not let Leng Yu become suspicious of him, so it was necessary to find a few people from the North Sea Kingdom to fill in the numbers.
Thinking of this, he immediately decided to meet Tenggexiang and find an opportunity to get the two men out from him.
Before leaving, he specifically told the housekeeper that no one was allowed to enter his study while he was away.
After the butler agreed, he rode out the door.
Xiao Bao saw the whole scene. While the housekeeper was busy with other things, he sneaked into Leng Xi's study. He wanted to confirm his idea and find out if there was a secret room here.
He had just walked in and hadn't started searching when Yu Qiaoqiao followed him in. She yelled at him in a commanding tone:
"Your father has instructed that no one is allowed to enter his study without his permission. Why are you so disobedient?"
Xiaobao was frightened by Yu Qiaoqiao and froze for a moment, then he stammered:
"I...I was just...just curious, so...I came to take a look."
"go out."
Yu Qiaoqiao yelled at him, scaring him so much that he ran out in shame.
Seeing him leave, Yu Qiaoqiao also became suspicious of this place, but she only walked around the room once when she heard the housekeeper's voice,
"Princess, before the prince leaves..."
"I know."
Before the housekeeper could finish his words, Yu Qiaoqiao interrupted him directly.
"I saw the door of this room was open, so I came in and took a look."
Leaving these cold words behind, she lifted her skirt, walked out the door and left.
But her heart was always in a knot. Although she had warned Xiaobao not to be curious about Lengxi's affairs, he still took the risk to come here to find out.
It seems that Xiaobao has his own ideas.
At this moment, the maid Xiaoying came running over and saluted Yu Qiaoqiao in a panic.
"princess……"
"You're running so fast, what happened?"
"Miss Xiao Cui...she said she had a stomachache, so I came to inform the prince."
"Stomachache? Then go find a doctor directly. What's the point of notifying the prince? The prince can't treat illnesses."
"But...but Miss Xiao Cui said that if she can't see the prince, her stomach will keep hurting."
"oh?"
Yu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and said with a contemptuous smile:
"It seems that she's not having a stomachache, but rather that her mind is working quickly. This tactic of playing hard to get is a good one, but it's not the right time. Go back and tell her that the prince is not here. Tell her to take good care of the baby and not to act rashly, otherwise, the prince won't indulge her."
"But……"
Xiaoying stood there feeling a little embarrassed.
"But what?"
"But she said that the prince hasn't visited her for a few days. If she doesn't see the prince again, she will die. I'm afraid something will happen to her. I can't bear it."
Just after being quiet for two days, you're making trouble again?
Yu Qiaoqiao frowned and said coldly:
"Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, she turned around and went straight to Xiao Cui's room.
This also gave Xiaobao the opportunity to leave Xiwang Mansion.
He took advantage of the time when his mother had no time to take care of him, quietly went out the door, and went straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.
When Yu Qiaoqiao came to Xiao Cui's room, she saw her lying on the bed groaning, with a look of deep resentment and hatred, and she immediately frowned.
"The prince is out. If you feel unwell, just call the doctor."
When her words reached Xiao Cui's ears, she felt like she was about to explode on the spot.
She sat up from the bed and angrily cursed:
"Why doesn't the prince come to see me? I'm carrying his child, why is he hiding from me?"
Yu Qiaoqiao reminded him nonchalantly:
"It's true that you're pregnant with the prince's child, but I'm kindly reminding you that excessive behavior will only annoy others. You've been acting up a few times these past few days, and I think you know the consequences better than I do. I advise you, as a woman, to be smarter and not use your ignorance to challenge the prince's patience. Otherwise, you'll end up losing more than you gain."
Xiao Cui looked at her with a red face and retorted angrily:
"What I am like is none of your business. Even if you are the princess, you have no right to control me. I just want to see the prince. If I can't see the prince today, I won't eat. Anyway, I am not afraid of hunger, but I can't say anything about the child in my belly."
Seeing that she was stubborn, Yu Qiaoqiao glanced at the food on the table and instructed the maid behind her:
"Since she's not hungry, just take away all the food. You don't have to send it to her at night."
"you……"
Xiao Cui pointed at her and cursed hysterically.
"You did it on purpose. You're just afraid that I'll give birth to the baby in your belly and steal your limelight. So what if you're the princess? You're narrow-minded and despised."
"Someone come!"
Yu Qiaoqiao only called out, and Chuntao came to her, "Princess."
"This girl is outspoken and seems to lack discipline. Slap her mouth."
"You dare?"
Xiao Cui pointed at her and cursed her with a sullen face.
"If you dare to hit me, I'll hit my stomach and knock this kid off."
