Chapter 222 Fighting for Rewards
King Qi didn't expect Su Yunrou's maid to say this, and he felt extremely heartbroken.
Yun Rou is always so kind. If his people hadn't discovered today that her maid had left the Marquis' Mansion, would she have allowed herself to be bullied by the maids in the palace?
My Rouer!
King Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said to Zijuan:
"I understand. Go back. I won't let her suffer."
"Yes, I understand." Zijuan wiped away her tears and stepped back.
As soon as she left, the King of Qi waved and asked, "Is there any news from the people in the Rui Palace?"
The Prince of Qi had previously arranged a spy in the Prince of Rui's mansion, but he had never let him do anything. Now he could let the Prince of Rui suffer a little.
Anyway, Prince Rui is basically a useless person now, and the staff he had gathered before have also scattered, and many of them have been recruited by him for his own use.
"Your Highness, there is no news, and the man hasn't shown up for two days. I'm afraid he's in danger." said the subordinate.
The eyes of King Qi darkened. He didn't expect that King Rui still had power at this point.
He was about to speak when a subordinate came over to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Bai Feng wants to see you."
"Please come here sir."
Mr. Bai Feng is the most trusted aide to King Qi. King Qi has put a lot of effort into this man. He not only helped him deal with the bully who bullied his family, but also gave him money to treat his mother's illness.
At the same time, in terms of political views, Mr. Bai Feng also felt that he had met the King of Qi too late, and once said privately:
"The King of Qi has great talent. If he can ascend to the throne one day, it will be a blessing for the people!"
The two of them understood each other tacitly and naturally worked towards this goal.
After a while, people were invited over.
"Sir, why are you here now?" asked the King of Qi.
Mr. Bai Feng said solemnly, "Your Highness, the time has come."
The King of Qi said nothing, but he tightened his grip.
If this plan succeeds, I will be the only one under the name of Queen.
Bai Feng waited for a while, and seeing that the King of Qi did not speak, he thought that he still had some concerns, so he continued:
"Your Highness, this is not the time to be soft-hearted. There is news from the East Palace that the Crown Prince may not survive. If we miss this opportunity, if the Emperor thinks of Prince Rui because of the Crown Prince's death and starts to care for him, then it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"The only way for us to make this matter a reality and pin the crown prince's death on King Rui is to solve the problem once and for all and eliminate future troubles."
The King of Qi naturally understood this truth, and if there was enough time, he could also cancel the engagement between Yun Rou and the King of Rui.
"Okay, let's act!" King Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said it.
……
Zijuan returned to the Marquis' Mansion and learned that Su Yunrou was ill. The two nurses were quite dissatisfied and kept muttering to themselves.
"Mammy, the second young lady is ill. Didn't you see that she was taking medicine? After she recovers in two days, she will be able to practice naturally. You are so anxious. Do you want to make her never recover?"
After she went out to meet the Queen of Qi, she felt much more at ease and could speak fluently.
Wait until the second young lady marries the Queen of Qi and then see how she deals with these two cruel old women.
Nanny Song looked Zijuan up and down. It was only half a day, but this maid had become quite eloquent!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Su Yunrou coughed a few times and said very weakly, "Two maids, please go back and rest for two days. When I recover, I will practice again and will not delay your work."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to a small box on the table.
"The maids have been working hard these days. Zijuan, give that to the two maids."
Zijuan immediately agreed, picked up the small box and handed it over, but she didn't give it to Nanny Song, but gave it to another Nanny.
After Nanny Sun took it, she said in a good mood, "Then the Second Miss should rest for the next two days. It won't be too late to practice again after you have recovered."
Nanny Sun walked out with the box in her hand. Nanny Song was jealous and wanted to chase her out to see what was going on, but she heard Su Yunrou say:
"Madame Song, there are double portions of stuff in there, divided into two bags."
"Got it! Second Miss, take good care of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she also walked out.
When Zijuan saw that everyone had left, she said with disdain, "Pooh, these two old guys are not good people."
"Miss, why do you give them things back? Even if they accept them, they will still make things difficult for you." Zijuan complained.
Su Yunrou curled her lips and poured the medicine into the vase beside her.
"It's just bait. Let them make a fuss on their own so they don't keep trying to cause trouble for me. Have you seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi today?"
"Yes, I told him about your situation, and His Highness said he would not let you suffer."
"Didn't he tell me how to prevent me from marrying King Rui?" Su Yunrou asked.
"Your Highness didn't say that."
Su Yunrou sighed angrily when she heard this. If there was no movement from the King of Qi, then wouldn't she just have to sit and wait for death?
"Also, Su Yuning needs to be taken care of. Tell my mother's people to continue giving her the crazy drug. If you see that Helin Courtyard's defenses are lax, send Su Yuning in. The dogs are already trained. Wouldn't it be a pity if the third room doesn't bite a few of them to death?"
Su Yunrou said to Zijuan, but a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes.
"Miss, Helin Courtyard and Cuizhu Courtyard are surrounded like an iron barrel all day long, but Su Yuning has gone crazy and is no longer human. Madam has already had her locked up in her wing room, just waiting for the right opportunity."
Zijuan smiled slightly, her eyes full of calculation.
"Ok!"
Su Yunrou nodded and responded...
Su Yuning has been crazy a few days ago. Instead of letting her continue like this, it is better to let her get even crazier and turn her into a dog that bites everyone she sees. Maybe she can help me!
The two maids who left Su Yunrou's yard started quarreling on the way.
"Madame Sun, you are really good at hiding things. If I had been a step slower, you would have hidden the pearl. You are really good at it!"
Nanny Song said sarcastically.
The two men just opened the box and found two small cloth bags inside, so they each took one bag.
When they opened it, they found a pearl the size of a fingernail in Nanny Sun's bag, but there was no pearl in Nanny Song's bag.
"Who hid something? I haven't opened it since I took it out." Nanny Sun said hurriedly.
In fact, she opened it, but only squeezed the two bags and did not untie the rope to see. Nanny Song was wrongly accusing her!
She immediately realized that Su Yunrou was trying to trick them, and quickly said:
"Don't be fooled by Miss Su Er. She wants to alienate us."
Nanny Song snorted coldly. It didn't matter whether she was trying to sow discord or not. She had always disliked people with the surname Sun anyway.
"Then give me the pearl in your hand, and I will believe that you have nothing to hide."
Nanny Song spread her hands. The pearl was the most valuable thing in the pile, so naturally she would take it.
"Everyone relies on their luck, why should I give it to you?"
Of course she wouldn't be happy to take it out.
Nanny Song simply grabbed it. What's the point of relying on luck? If she got it, it was just luck.
The two of them started fighting. After Nanny Sun finally pushed her away, she ran away quickly. Nanny Song chased after her and they walked back fighting.
Su Qingwan, who was feeding the fish on the waterside pavilion, naturally saw this scene, and Shanhu smacked her lips as she watched.
"Miss, the maids in the palace are also short of money?"
"No one would dislike having too much money, even the emperor. Moreover, they are just palace maids. They may not have received much reward in the palace before, so it is normal for them to quarrel over money now."
"Miss....."
At this moment, Qing Er came to Su Qingwan's ear and whispered softly.
"Since they can't wait to be bitten by the dog, I will grant their wish."
There was a hint of cruelty in Su Qingwan's smile. She waved her hand and asked Qing Er to retreat.
