Chapter 1,058 The Hiding Maid

"Princess, the eldest princess said that she asked you about some old ladies who had interacted with you before. However, the eldest princess Ruiping and King Yue also mentioned you, which surprised her. The other old ladies couldn't tell for a moment that any of them asked you on purpose. "." A woman from the Princess Ruian's Mansion reported.

"Prince Yue went there in person?" Shao Wanru was startled and put down the maple leaf in her hand. The painting in her hand was almost finished and was being retouched.

"His Royal Highness King Yue would come to the house in the past. The eldest princess said it was nothing." The old lady replied intelligently. When she came, the eldest princess repeatedly told her to explain the matter more clearly, so as not to confuse Princess Chen. Misunderstand.

"Will the eldest princess Ruiping come in the past?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile on his lips after thinking for a while.

"The eldest princess Ruiping rarely came to the eldest princess's house in the past. The eldest princess Ruiping and our eldest princess were not close in the past. It was just a superficial friendship. This time she came here to chat. From time to time When asked about Princess Chen, she also said that Princess Yuan'an was in a bad mood and wanted you to persuade her. We are all young people and it is easy to say something!"

The mother-in-law said.

"How is Princess Yuan'an's face?" Shao Wanru asked.

"It seems to be getting better soon, but Princess Yuan'an is in a bad mood. Princess Ruiping didn't say what the specific reason was."

"I understand. If anyone inquires about anything unusual, ask my grandmother to send someone to tell me." Shao Wanru nodded and said.

The mother-in-law of Princess Ruian's Mansion retreated.

Qu Le brought a basin of water. After Shao Wanru washed his hands, he walked to the window and looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly outside, which was a good time to enjoy the scenery.

"Let's go and have a look in the garden." Shao Wanru walked out.

Qu Le and Yu Jie hurriedly followed.

Prince Chen's Mansion occupies a large area, and the garden is even more exquisitely built, with waterside pavilions and pavilions, meandering rivers, and exquisite painted boats on the water, giving an elegant and gorgeous royal atmosphere everywhere.

It makes sense for this place to be called the Nangong. If there wasn't such a small side door, it wouldn't be awkward to directly include this Prince Chen's Mansion into the scope of the imperial palace.

Standing in front of a step, Shao Wanru stopped, his gaze extended, his eyes leisurely.

After being married into Prince Chen's palace for so long, she still had some knots in her heart that she had never gotten rid of. It was like she had never been to this place before, but this place was very real in her memory.

The flowers in front of her reflected the high corners of the balcony, and there were exquisite pavilions under two rows of tall trees, but there was a biting chill in her heart. She could not take the next step no matter what.

The high palace, the gorgeous steps, and the noble atmosphere of the royal family are reflected in these trees. The nobility is overwhelming, and the blood is overwhelming. The breathing becomes heavy unconsciously, and the soles of the feet seem to be covered with thick mud, and they can no longer step forward. Take a step.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Yu Jie noticed her strange look and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her.

Shao Wanru's delicate little face looked pale, and his lips were as light as his face.

"Princess..." Qu Le also noticed something strange about Shao Wanru and said anxiously.

He closed his eyes forcefully, took a deep breath, suppressed the dizzy feeling in his heart, calmed himself down, and shook his head: "I'm fine!"

Standing still, he finally turned around and walked to the pavilion on the side, farther away from this place, and further away.

"The princess is not feeling well? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?" Yu Jie helped her into the pavilion and asked with concern, "I can take your pulse first!"

"No, I just felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. I'll be fine now." Shao Wanru shook his head.

"Princess, can I ask Master Mingqiu to come and take a look at you?" Yu Jie blinked and suggested again. Shao Wanru's current situation looked extremely bad, and she really couldn't feel relieved.

"There is no need to bother Master Mingqiu and disturb her Qingxiu. We have already agreed to invite Master Mingqiu to come and talk to her in a few days," Shao Wanru said.

The last time she invited Master Mingqiu to come, she agreed to invite Master Mingqiu to come in a few days. Now this time is not the time for Master Mingqiu to enter the house, and it is easy for Master Mingqiu to bring Danger.

Prince Chen's Mansion is also in troubled times right now, and Shao Wanru is not willing to drag Master Mingqiu into it.

"Is the princess because of what the eldest princess's palace sent someone to tell you just now?" Qu Le thought for a while and felt that it was very possible. The princess had always been good before, but after the eldest princess's palace came, her whole body was turned upside down when she went out for a walk. Everyone is getting better.

"It's not because of these words." Shao Wanru shook his head again.

"Princess, do you think the person plotting against you is someone from Prince Zhou's Mansion or Prince Yue's Mansion?" Yu Jie asked more directly. She had actually wanted to ask before, but seeing that Shao Wanru looked bad, she didn't dare to ask more. .

The ultimate goal of those who can scheme against King Chen is of course for King Zhou or King Yue. King Xin is too young and too out-of-the-box to be like him.

"I think it may be someone from Prince Cheng's palace. I heard that the brocade box has rust on it. It must have been for many years. King Yue and King Zhou were both young at that time. Only His Highness Prince Cheng was already old at that time. Sir!" Qu Le retorted with a different meaning.

She felt that King Cheng was most likely the mastermind of the conspiracy.

"But only Princess Ruiping and Prince Yue are a bit strange. Princess Yuanan is the future Princess Zhou, and Prince Yue came here in person. It doesn't look like that simple." Yu Jie retorted, she still felt King Zhou and King Yue were suspicious, "Even if the brocade box is locked, it has little to do with King Zhou and King Yue themselves, but the Queen and Concubine De must have passed through that time!"

"But..." Qu Le was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Shao Wanru shook his hand to stop him.

"How can the Empress and Concubine De be insulted by anyone?" Shao Wanru said with a cold expression.

"Slave..." Yu Jie and Qu Le looked at each other, each saw the fear in the other's eyes, and knelt down with a plop, "Slave, I made a mistake, I hope the princess will punish you!"

"This is Prince Chen's Mansion. Although the prince said that you can feel safe talking here, there must be a lot of people talking. If someone spreads something, are you two going to die?" Shao Wanru said with a thin layer of anger on his face. asked.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, the two maids each trembled and said hurriedly: "Princess, I don't dare anymore!"

"Princess, this slave will never dare to do it again!"

"You have to remember that Nangong is also an imperial palace. It's okay if the people in the palace don't know about some of the things that happen there. If you want to know, it can be easily found out." Shao Wanru warned.

What the two maids just said also made her vigilant. In the past, she did not restrain herself much. If she entered the palace like this, the lives of these two maids would definitely be killed.

"Princess, this servant knows!" The two of them said in unison, and they were really panicked at this time. They were so excited just now that they forgot that this was outdoors, and now they felt weak in their vests when they thought about it.

The Empress and the Concubine were not allowed to be discussed casually, and they were talking about such treacherous topics.

"If you can't do it in the future, I won't dare to keep you anymore. I will simply let you go and let you be a free person after you leave the house. It is best to leave the capital far away. I was really negligent in the past. I've killed you so that you dare to say such things outside!" Shao Wanru said angrily.

"Princess, the slaves have realized their mistake, and the slaves will never dare to do it again!" Upon hearing that Shao Wanru no longer wanted them, the two maids burst into tears and hurriedly kowtowed to Shao Wanru three times.

"Be careful with your words and deeds. The only people who will not live long in this palace are those who cannot be careful with their words and deeds!" Seeing the two maids sincerely admitting their mistakes, Shao Wanru sighed and his expression softened a bit, "Get up. ! Remember to be more careful outside in the future. If you are in the palace, you must be more careful even in the house."

"I know!" The two maids wiped away their tears and stood up. Knowing that the princess was doing it for their own good, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. After arriving at Prince Chen's Mansion, nothing happened. It seemed that their vigilance was much lower. In the past, this They would never say such words outside the house.

Even if he spoke inside the house, he would lower his voice and speak carefully.

"Princess, what is that maid doing?" While Qu Le was wiping her tears, a figure suddenly flashed across her face. He raised his head and saw a maid hiding far away behind a clump of trees, acting sneakily.

"Go and have a look!" Shao Wanru also turned his gaze.

Yujie walked over quickly, and soon came over with a maid.

"Slave...slave...servant, please see the princess!" The twelve or three-year-old little maid looked panicked, standing in front of Shao Wanru, unable to even speak.

"Where are you from?" Shao Wanru asked gently after looking at the little maid up and down.

"Slave... this slave is serving the flowers and plants in the garden. I just saw the princess coming... I was frightened... so I hid. It was not intentional." The little maid looked very frightened and said with a trembling voice. .

"What did you hide just now?" Yu Jie took a step forward, stretched out her hand and pointed at the little girl's wrist. The little girl's hands were tightly wrapped and half hidden in her sleeves. The cuffs were half turned up in panic. Really can't tell.

"Slave...slave, it's nothing." The maid's hand subconsciously hid behind her.

"Take out what she has in her hand." Shao Wanru said slowly.

Yujie took two steps forward, grabbed the little girl's hand, and tried to throw it out, but her strength was nothing compared to Yujie, who was naturally strong.

The wrist hidden in the sleeve was pulled out, and you could see a very thin gold bracelet attached to the wrist. It was very thin and was a little flattened by Yu Jie, but it was also a gold bracelet, and it was definitely not like this. A little maid can afford to wear it.

It was clear at first glance that the loose gold bracelet was not suitable for the little maid to wear, so Yujie pulled it off with one pull.
