Chapter 111 The Mantis is behind
In fact, when Xiao Lingxiao and the fourth prince came out of the study, Bao Ronger had followed them. This was all told by Xiao Lingxiao in advance, so she came out as soon as she saw the signal given by Xiao Lingxiao.
The fourth prince knew that the beautiful girl beside Xiao Lingxiao was also very good at martial arts, so when he saw her appear out of thin air, he immediately suppressed more than half of the evil thoughts that had just emerged in his heart. However, the insidious idea has been decided. As soon as the fourth prince's eyes turned, he immediately put on the face of a gentleman and said to Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, "Lingxiao, do you remember that when I stepped on the first snow, there was an interesting hustle and bustle in the Chufu Building on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month?"
When Xiao Lingxiao heard that the fourth prince really mentioned this matter at this jux, he also pretended to be pretentious, as if he had forgotten what he had said, with a blank face.
The fourth prince was even more angry when he saw this. No wonder he always felt that Xiao Lingxiao was too indifferent to him. It must be because he hooked up with other men, so he didn't even remember what he said!
"Chufu Building is known as the largest restaurant in the imperial city. Haven't you tried the dishes in it? It's rare to see the bustle this time, and I can't get in without being invited. How to Ling Xiao? I'll go for a break with you." After watching the excitement, I will make you my woman! As long as you break your body, you Xiao Lingxiao will be my person! The Xiao family will not offend the fourth prince for Xiao Ling. At that time, you won't get the position of the imperial concubine. Even if you want to be a concubine, you should use all your belongings as a dowry!
The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more complacent he became, but the expression on his face did not come out at all.
Xiao Lingxiao bowed his head and pretended to think, deliberately hesitated for a while.
At this time, I heard the fourth prince say, "Ying Xiao, even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends. Isn't my affection for you worth you to treat me as a friend?
As soon as Xiao Lingxiao heard this, he immediately raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and asked softly, "Would you like to be friends with Lingxiao?"
The fourth prince sneered secretly in his heart, but he said sincerely, "Unless Lingxiao doesn't treat me as a friend!"
Xiao Ling lowered her head and scolded secretly, and then raised her head, but she seemed to be very happy. "If Your Highness Meng Si doesn't dislike it, Ling Xiao is willing to be friends with the Fourth Highness."
"Good!" The light flashed from the eyes of the fourth prince when the hunter caught the prey. He smiled and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "I'm relieved when Lingxiao says so. Then I will come to the house to pick you up on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month. Interesting things, you have to share them with your friends to be happier. Ling Xiao, you won't refuse me anymore, will you?"
Xiao Lingxiao pretended to be a little embarrassed, but he no longer refused. He nodded cruelly and said, "In this case, I'm sorry to bother Your Highness."
The two looked at each other and smiled, but Bao Ronger, who was standing behind them, felt a chill blowing across her whole body in an eye...
After they returned to the banquet hall and sat down again, Bao Ronger said to Xiao Lingxiao in a low voice, "Master, I think the fourth prince is evil to you."
Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently, "If he is a decent gentleman, I can't do anything about him."
Bao Ronger looked at Xiao Lingxiao and decided to swallow the words that came to her mind - if Feng Ming knew about this, he didn't know how angry he would be. However, since Xiao Lingxiao knew that the fourth prince had evil intentions towards her, he still did so, which showed that she was already on guard. Bao Ronger is not like Xiao Fengming, who is overwhelmed by his concern for Xiao Lingxiao and forgets how powerful Xiao Lingxiao is. After all, she can summon the divine wolf at any time. What is the fourth prince?
This matter came to an end. After waiting for a long time, Xiao Shuyong and Xiao Ranjie appeared again. Xiao Shuyong's face was black, and he was obviously sulking, and Xiao Ranjie was no longer as proud as he was just now. As soon as he came in, he looked at Xiao Lingxiao without hiding the resentment in his eyes.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't care at all. She smiled faintly and raised her glass of wine at Xiao Ranjie.
Xiao Ranjie was full of grievances, but he didn't expect that he would fall into Xiao Lingxiao's hands. Turning his head and looking at the others, he saw that Xiao Huanxue's cold face was full of disappointment, and the old lady gave him a fierce look with a pale face.
Xiao Ranjie stole chickens and rice, and his heart was really full of grievances and anger.
At the family banquet, everyone found that the atmosphere was wrong, so no one mentioned the painting anymore. The fourth prince sat for a moment and left. And just when Xiao Shuyong also got up to go back to rest, he suddenly heard the woman scream, "Mother! What's wrong with you, mother?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly gathered, and then they saw that the first lady fell to the ground with her stomach covered, and the scream was from Xiao Huanxue sitting next to her.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Shuyong and others ate a lot and hurried to see the old lady. The hall suddenly opened in a hurry. Only Xiao Lingxiao sat alone in her seat and did not move. She slowly put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at the direction in which the old lady fell, and thought to herself that the woman had done it.
After the eldest lady was carried back to her yard and called the doctor for diagnosis, the doctor told Xiao Shuyong that the eldest lady's fetal movement was abnormal and she was afraid she was going to have a miscarriage. This shocked Xiao Shuyong. He immediately asked someone to take his own famous post to invite Dr. Du, who often went to the Prime Minister's mansion to see the disease. After Dr. Du arrived, he immediately diagnosed the pulse of the old lady. The result after the diagnosis was the same as that of the doctor in the prime minister's house. The old lady was likely to have a miscarriage.
Xiao Shuyong's face was full of doubts. This man didn't touch him well. Why did he suddenly have a miscarriage? At this time, Dr. Du took Xiao Shuyong aside and told him in a low voice, "Your Excellency, the eldest lady's illness is strange. If I guess correctly, it is likely that there is something unclean in the room."
"What's unclean?"
Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but take a breath of cold breath when he heard this. He was full of poetry and medicine. He knew that when a woman was pregnant, if something special was placed around her, it would easily lead to miscarry.
However, it is reasonable that there should be no unclean things in the Prime Minister's house, especially in the old lady's room, which is cleaned by someone every day, and even the items placed are fixed. How can there be unclean things?
However, the facts were in front of him, and Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but believe it.
Dr. Du Yu prescribed a prescription for the eldest lady to protect the fetus, and then it was all up to fate. After the servants cooked the medicine and fed them to the old lady, Xiao Shuyong called the old lady's maids outside, and then specially borrowed two proper old ladies from the old lady to carefully check whether there were any unclean things in the old lady's room.
The maids knelt down in black, and Xiao Shuyong hugged his shoulders and didn't say a word with an angry face. Xiao Huanxue and Xiao Ranjie cared about their mother and did not go back to their yard. They both waited here with Xiao Shuyong. After about two columns of incense, the two old women came out of the house with a small bag of things in their hands.
After the two mothers saluted Xiao Shuyong, one of them handed over the small cloth bag in his hand to Xiao Shuyong and said, "Sir, this is what we found in the utensils in the old lady's room. This small cloth bag contains spices. We carefully distinguished and found that the spice seemed to contain things such as cloves, fragrance, musk and ice sheets, which may cause pregnant women to miscarriage. The eldest lady is pregnant, and the fetus in her womb is safe. If there is only one medicine, I'm afraid there may be nothing wrong with it. But the drugged person not only put a lot of such small cloth bags, but also in our opinion, the spices and medicinal materials used in it must also be specially configured... Sir, this is someone who deliberately wants to harm the doctor. The man and the young master in her womb.
After listening to his mother's words, Xiao Shuyong opened the small cloth bag and poured the contents on the palm of his hand. He found that what the mothers were saying was absolutely right. He threw the little cloth bag to the ground fiercely and pointed to the maids kneeling there and said angrily, "How do you serve your wife? Why is this kind of thing in my wife's room? Damn it! Damn it!"
At this time, Xiao Huanxue, who had been standing aside with his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly came forward and whispered to Xiao Shuyong, "Father, these servants in my mother's room usually do their best. If they had these things in the room, they would have found them. In my opinion, they and their mother must have been busy preparing for the Spring Festival in recent days, so they have been exploited by the evil people. If not, my mother would have had symptoms long ago..."
Xiao Shuyong turned his head and took a look at Xiao Huanxue. He knew that among all his children, only Xiao Huanxue was the most thoughtful and calm. At this point, she was much better than Xiao Ranjie. Xiao Shuyong snorted and suppressed his anger. He glanced at the maids kneeling in front of him. At a glance, he saw the maid Begonia who had been following the eldest lady, and pointed to her and asked, "Begonia, have you been a stranger in the yard in the past few days?"
Begonia trembled with fear, knelt there and shook his head vigorously, "No...no..."
"How can these things be in the lady's room!" Xiao Shu bravely grabbed the small cloth bag in another mother's hand and fell on the head of the begonia.
Although the small cloth bag was not heavy, Xiao Shuyong used great strength. This time, the begonia was so painful, coupled with fear, tears suddenly fell out. But Haitang didn't dare to neglect it anymore. He hurriedly wiped her tears and looked up to Xiao Shuyong and said, "Sir, sir, I was wrong. Although no strangers entered the yard these days, there were many people in and out. Things were delivered to the warehouse. The old lady was so busy that she didn't have time to count them in person. She said that it was handled by the eldest lady anyway, and she would definitely not. What's wrong, so let's put it directly in the room first..."
Xiao Shuyong stared at the words, "Miss's handle? You mean there is something sent by Xiao Lingxiao in this room?
Begonia wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, and the maids behind her also nodded like garlic.
Xiao Shuyong gritted his teeth fiercely, as if a flame was about to burst out. He understood that this must have been done by Xiao Lingxiao! It must be Xiao Lingxiao who wants to harm the eldest lady and the child in her womb!
