Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao and saw that he was looking at her strangely. She couldn't help but look at him curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mu Yexiao finally came back to his senses. He was lost in thought. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "It's okay, I'm just imagining. Since you know Qingyu is fake, will you go?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Of course I'm going. This time it's fake, but if I don't go, it will become real next time."
Mu Yexiao frowned and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Then I'll let Dongchen go with you?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "No. Dongchen has to stay by your side to protect you. It's enough for me to have Hongling and Hongchou by my side. Besides, I'm not really a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken."
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes: "In my eyes, you are really just a weak woman, even though you are aggressive most of the time."
Qian Jiujiu snorted coldly: "That's because it's you, don't you think my poison is just for show?"
Mu Yexiao was shocked: "You refined a lot of poisons?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded with a smile: "Yes, when I was treating you, I also prepared a lot of poisons. If there is really someone who is blind enough to provoke me."
"I will make sure they never see the sun tomorrow."
She was clearly saying very scary words, but Qian Jiujiu in front of her was actually smiling, which was not consistent with her image at all. What a contrast.
Dongchen, Nanfeng and the others looked at each other and felt a chill running down their backs. It seemed that it would be better not to provoke their princess.
Qian Jiujiu simply ignored the two people's thoughts, but Mu Yexiao blinked his eyes. He felt that the girl in front of him was really cute no matter how he looked at her.
Look, even talking about poisoning someone to death is so cute!
After Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Then I'll leave now. I want to see what they want me to go back for."
After saying that, she went back to her room and put on some makeup to make herself look more tired and her face paler. Then she took Hongling and Hongchou to the Shangshu Mansion.
He went straight to the Shangshu's Mansion in a carriage. When he arrived at the Shangshu's Mansion, he did not inform anyone, but rushed directly into Aunt Wan's yard.
After entering, he saw Qingyu and Qinglian guarding in front of Aunt Wan. Aunt Wan was chanting in front of the Buddha. Seeing that Aunt Wan was fine, Qian Jiujiu finally felt relieved.
Although she had just made a very clear analysis in front of Mu Yexiao, she was still worried about Aunt Wan, and Qingyu and Qinglian were getting angry when they saw this.
They immediately stepped forward to pay their respects. After hearing the news coming out of the palace these past two days, the two maids were still a little worried, but today they actually saw the princess right here.
"Qingyu/Qinglian, meet the princess. Why are you here?"
Qian Jiujiu listened to this with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you, Qingyu, go to the palace and tell me that Aunt Wan was dying and asked me to come to the Shangshu Mansion?"
Qingyu looked puzzled, but she still knelt down: "Princess, please be wise. I have never left Aunt Wan's place since I came here. Qinglian can testify to this."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Hongling, and Hongling then pulled Qingyu Qinglian aside and began to inquire about what had happened in the Shangshu Mansion in the past two days. At this time, Shangshu Qian also heard the news and rushed over.
"Why didn't the princess inform the Shangshu Mansion when she came?"
Qian Jiujiu turned around and looked at Qian Shangshu: "Father, did you trick me into coming back?"
The corner of Minister Qian's mouth twitched, and he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "What do you mean by that?"
Minister Qian glanced at Hong Ling and the others and said, "Jiujiu, you have grown up so big, but your father has not paid much attention to you. Now you are about to grow up, and your father has something to say to you alone."
Hongling had been listening to these words and a hint of worry flashed across her face, but she still did her duty and said nothing. Qian Jiujiu glanced at the man drinking green tea and Hongchou.
He looked at Qian Jiujiu again and said, "Well, it just so happens that my daughter also has something she wants to talk to her father about."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Hong Ling again and said, "Hong Ling, wait here, I'll be out soon."
Hong Ling immediately bowed and said, "I understand."
After arranging everything, Qian Jiujiu followed Minister Qian and left Aunt Wan's yard, came to the garden outside, and sat under the pavilion.
Qian Jiujiu looked calm: "I wonder what my father wants to say to me?"
Minister Qian coughed and said, "Jiujiu, no matter what, I am your father, and you need to rely on me wherever you go..."
Qian Jiujiu frowned as he saw that Minister Qian was still preparing to speak. "Father, you know, although I have learned a few words from my mother, I am still not suitable for literary speech."
"If you really have something important to say, please just say it directly, okay? My daughter is worried. What if you say it too tactfully and she doesn't understand?"
When Minister Qian heard this, his expression turned a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, he felt that Qian Jiujiu's words did make sense. After all, he was not the one who was raised by him since childhood.
He wasn't sure whether Qian Jiujiu really didn't understand anything at this moment, or what he could understand, so he might as well just say it directly.
"Since Jiujiu said so, then father said, let me ask you, what is the matter with the prince's illness?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "My daughter is not a doctor, how would she know? Anyway, she fell to the ground for no apparent reason a few days ago, and then we called a doctor."
"It is said that the old poison has relapsed. I am afraid that he will not live long, maybe only a month or so."
Qian Jiujiu's voice was a little tearful as she spoke: "Father, the prince said that after he dies, he wants his daughter to be buried with him. Father, does being buried with him mean that he wants me to die with him?"
"Father, Jiuer doesn't want to die, can you save Jiuer?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Minister Qian with her big watery eyes. Minister Qian frowned and said, "You said this was what the prince said himself? He wants you to be buried alive with him?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, he said he was afraid that I would be bullied if he left, so he just took me with him. Father, can you help me think of a solution?"
After hearing these words, Minister Qian looked at Qian Jiujiu with some suspicion: "So the prince is really going to die?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "Who knows? Anyway, that's what the doctor said. The prince can only live for a month at most. Well, that means I can only live for a month too. How pitiful."
"I thought I could do whatever I wanted after becoming a princess, but who knew this would be the result."
Qian Jiujiu actually started to cry as she spoke, and burst into tears in front of Minister Qian, crying so sadly. Minister Qian looked at Qian Jiujiu crying so miserably.
He believed this, but was afraid that Mu Yexiao was really going to die this time. Minister Qian glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Jiujiu, you have already married King Xiao."
"You are husband and wife, you should share life and death together."
Qian Jiujiu's eyes widened when he heard this: "So, father, you are not going to care about my life or death?"
"Then why did you ask me to come back? I thought my father asked me to come back to discuss countermeasures with me, but how could you not care about your daughter's life or death?"
Qian Jiujiu was so angry that she looked at Minister Qian with an expression that said, "If you don't care about my life or death, I'm going to fight with you." Minister Qian was speechless.
Why did he think that his daughter was smart before, but now she seems so stupid. The King of Xiao actually likes such a girl.
"You've been out for quite some time. It's time to go back. Go back and take good care of the prince. Don't cause any more trouble. Got it?"
Qian Jiujiu was so angry that she didn't even call him father. She looked at Qian Shangshu and was about to turn around and leave. Qian Shangshu looked at Qian Jiujiu's back and sneered.
Just after Qian Jiujiu left, the Third Prince Mu Yesheng came out from behind the rockery and looked at Minister Qian: "Minister Qian, do you think your second daughter's words are reliable?"
Minister Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Looking at my daughter's condition, I'm afraid that King Xiao is really dying."
Mu Yesheng snorted coldly: "It's not certain yet, let's wait and see, follow him."
Minister Qian was still a little confused, but Mu Yesheng wanted to follow, so as a subordinate, he naturally had to follow. The two quietly followed behind Qian Jiujiu.
Qian Jiujiu didn't notice at all that there was a follower following him, and he was a little confused. After all, Shangshu Qian was a Shangshu and should be very shrewd.
How could he believe her so easily? Could it be that he got the position of Shangshu just by luck? But how could it be possible? There must be something wrong.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu became a little distracted, and she completely forgot that she had a poor sense of direction. This time she came here with Qian Shangshu.
But when she went back, there was no Minister Qian to lead the way for her, so Qian Jiujiu stood in the corridor and looked at the archways in front of her, not knowing which one led to Aunt Wan's courtyard.
After waiting for a while, Qian Jiujiu heard a voice coming from one of the arches. The voice seemed familiar. It was Qian Yuge's voice.
"Didn't they say that bitch Qian Jiujiu is here? Where is she?"
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. He actually came here to pamper her. Thinking of Qian Shangshu, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but complain in her heart. It was amazing for a father to do this for Qian Shangshu.
She actually used one daughter to test another daughter. Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but mourn in her heart. If she met Qian Yuge now, she would be in great trouble.
But a real man can bend and stretch, let alone a little woman like her! Forget it, for Mu Yexiao, I will be shameless for once.
Just remember the place and get it back later. After figuring it out, Qian Jiujiu listened to Qian Yuge's voice and went up to her: "Big sister, what a coincidence, you are here too."
