The pain in her arm was still severe, reminding Shen Jingci all the time that Xie Ruzhuo's sworn enemy had come to take revenge!
That night, Shen Jingci had a rather uneasy sleep. Before dawn the next day, she hurriedly got up and sent someone to send a message to Xiao Junhan before sitting in bed in a daze.
Last night, she had all kinds of thoughts about killing Xie Ruzhuo, but in the end, she had to put all her thoughts away.
It's not time to let Xie Ruzhuo die yet, she and Xiao Junhan's great cause still needs Xie Ruzhuo's existence. After all, it would be too easy for her to kill Xie Ruzhuo so easily. If you want to die, you have to squeeze out all the value!
Nowadays, the political situation in the court is unstable. The dispute between Xiao Junhan and the fifth prince at the beginning of the year indirectly benefited Xiao Junxi, the sick man. Now that the fifth prince's vitality has recovered, she still has to plan for Xiao Junhan.
After the flood incident, the strength of the Xie family cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Junhan replied very quickly. Not long after the court, a servant from Xiao Junhan came to report that it was the second prince who invited him.
Seeing Baoqin looking calm and about to follow him, Shen Jingci smiled half-heartedly and said, "Baoqin, you stay at home and watch over me. Shi Mo will follow you today."
Baoqin was slightly startled, and then said, "Miss, I am your personal maid, so naturally I have to follow you at all times. If I don't go, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
"What, do you mean to say that you are indispensable by my side? Are you the master, or am I the master!" Shen Jing Cifeng stared, then suddenly pinched Baoqin's chin and said coldly, "Beside me There is no room for a slave who wants to seduce the prince!"
As soon as she said these words, Baoqin immediately fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "I don't dare!"
"Don't dare, do you dare not do it, or dare not say it?" This girl is also a pickpocket. She only serves as Mr. Shen's spy to spy on her. She also intends to seduce the second prince and become his master. If she doesn't kill him today With Baoqin’s majesty, I’m afraid he won’t have a place with his grandpa in the future!
Baoqin has been following Shen Jingci for a long time. When he heard her say this, he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't dare to do this!"
However, Baoqin's heart was filled with hatred. She is Shen Jingci's eldest maid, and she should marry him in the future. To put it bluntly, this dowry maid is also a bed companion. So what if she has seduced the second prince now? Could it be that what Shen Jingci did was not seducing people!
But these words could only be left in my heart. When I saw Shen Jingci taking Shi Mo and a new maid out, Bao Qin slowly stood up, with a bone-chilling chill in his eyes.
When Shen Jingci arrived at the other courtyard, Xiao Junhan was already waiting here. After dismissing everyone, Shen Jingci frowned slightly and snorted.
Xiao Junhan was such a perceptive person. He immediately noticed something was wrong and asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you Ci'er? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Shen Jingci specifically did not apply powder in order to make Xiao Junhan feel distressed. After hearing Xiao Junhan's inquiry, she suddenly smiled like a weak wind supporting a willow and said softly, "It's okay, it's just a snake bite. .”
snake? It's a snake again!
That day, a snake appeared at the eldest princess's birthday. Although Xiao Junhan was not present, he listened to the servant's vivid description of what happened at the banquet. It was thrilling. Xie Ruzhuo narrowly escaped death.
But now, a snake appeared in Shen's mansion and bit Shen Jingci.
Xiao Junhan was not stupid, so he naturally became suspicious, "What did you think of?"
Shen Jingci was always a very scheming woman. Since she asked him to come, she must have a plan. Xiao Junhan was not in a hurry and lowered his eyes to wait for Shen Jingci's answer.
Shen Jingci felt a little disappointed. She thought Xiao Junhan would care about her injuries, but she forgot for a moment that Xiao Junhan was not such a person.
What he cares about has always been his own great cause.
Shen Jingci quickly concealed her emotions, opened a small box, and said, "Does the Second Prince know what this is?"
Xiao Junhan looked up and saw a soft red cloth laid inside, with a brown grass placed on it. He immediately shook his head, "I don't know, what, is this related to this matter?"
Hearing his inquiry, the coldness in Shen Jingci's eyes flashed and she said, "This is phantom grass. After it is ground into powder and sprinkled on the items you carry, it will emit a special aroma. It is the most popular among snakes. Love. Therefore, wherever they grow, there must be snake caves."
"So, at my aunt's birthday party the day before yesterday, there was phantom grass on Xie Ruzhuo's clothes?"
Shen Jingci just said something, and Xiao Junhan immediately connected what happened in the past few days one by one. Not to mention how many people took care of the huge princess mansion. On weekdays, not to mention snakes, it was hard to see even a fly. Why did it appear at the banquet? Still biting Xie Ruzhuo with purpose!
Recently, Shen Jingci was also bitten. Seeing that she knew so clearly, it seemed like she had trapped herself in a cocoon and was being retaliated against. When she thought of this, Xiao Junhan immediately suspected that she was in love with Xie Ruzhuo. Could it be that Shen Jingci's wound was a warning from Xie Ruzhuo? But he was a little confused, so Xie Ruzhuo looked like a fool in the past, could it be a cover-up
"That's right, the fifth prince was responsible for what happened at the banquet that day. I just wanted to give him one more crime that day. But who would have thought that instead of harming Xie Ruzhuo, that idiot actually harmed me? They've all been bitten!" When she thought of this, Shen Jingci couldn't help but gnashed her teeth. She planned it carefully, thinking that she would kill two birds with one stone, but in the end, she ended up with nothing, and even harmed herself!
Seeing that Xiao Junhan was silent and silent, Shen Jingci was a little anxious and couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Second prince, in my opinion, someone should be sent to investigate whether Xie Ruzhuo did this. If she did it, then It means that she already knows what I did to her at the eldest princess’s house that day, so we should take precautions.”
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan just nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you justice." Shen Jingci was right. During this period, he always felt that Xie Ruzhuo was no longer a Xie Ruzhuo, who used to be easy to control, should be more cautious in the future if this was really her fault.
If this chess piece is out of control, it can only be regarded as useless!
Shen Jing said kindly, "Your Highness should be more careful. I always feel that Xie Ruzhuo has a deep mind. If she finds out and we investigate her, I'm afraid we will have to spend more effort to deal with her in the future."
Somehow, when Shen Jingci said this, Xiao Junhan was distracted for a moment. He looked at the pale Shen Jingci in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust, "You can rest for a while, if I get the letter, Nature will let you know."
After saying this, Xiao Junhan no longer looked at Shen Jingci, but hurriedly left the place.
The fact that Shen Jingci was bitten by a snake was originally Xie Ruzhuo's declaration of war. Naturally, this trace has not been wiped clean. The people Xiao Junhan sent out quickly got a reply. Xiao Junhan couldn't help but look cold after hearing the report from his men. It seems that it was Xie Ruzhuo's person who put the phantom grass into Shen Jingci's room!
This Miss Xie's family was not like this before.
For some reason, after learning the news, not only did he have no intention of getting rid of her, but he became more interested in Xie Ruzhuo for a moment, but it was only a momentary thing, and he immediately controlled his emotions. He knew exactly what he wanted and what he wanted Xie Ruzhuo to do.
When Xiao Junhan told Shen Jingci the results of the investigation of the whole matter, Shen Jingci's face was instantly distorted with anger. It was indeed Xie Ruzhuo who did this, and she was a little too bold!
"Second Prince, we can't just let this matter go!"
Shen Jingci slammed the table angrily, but it affected her wound, causing it to sizzle.
Xiao Junhan glanced at Shen Jingci, but did not say anything. It was Shen Jingci who took the first step, and Xie Ruzhuo was just retaliating slightly. If he manipulated it, it would appear that he was unfair as a prince.
After a moment of silence, Shen Jingci also sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Junhan's mood. She slowly calmed down her emotions, bowed slightly, and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully. I will never act so recklessly next time."
Xiao Junhan nodded and said, "It's good to know that the Xie family is our pawn, especially Xie Ruzhuo. If she dies, won't our plan have to be overturned?"
"That's what the second prince said."
Seeing that she had regained her calm look, Xiao Junhan just sighed and said, "Since Xie Ruzhuo already knows about this matter, we'd better make plans early. God knows what happens in the eldest princess's house, you know it and I know it." , but if others ask, don’t act out of emotion.”
Shen Jingci nodded in agreement, and the two of them talked about other things.
When we returned to Shen's Mansion, it was already getting dark. Seeing Shen Jingci turn around, Baoqin immediately came up to him and said with a forced smile, "Greetings, Miss." After Shen Jingci scolded her that day, whenever she had the opportunity to see the second prince, Shen Jingci would not hesitate. Pinch it off mercilessly. Seeing that it was like this again today, Baoqin felt a little panicked.
Shen Jingci glanced sideways at her, then turned to sit in front of the table and said, "Well, go and make me a pot of tea."
"Yes." Baoqin agreed, and then left the room reluctantly.
Shen Jingci covered her arm. When she was in the other hospital, she was too excited and touched the wound. At this time, her arm was already stained with blood. But she didn't care. No one really cared whether she was injured or not.
"Miss, please change your dressing."
A little girl said timidly. She saw that the young lady had been sitting here since she came back, so she boldly approached Shen Jingci. However, as she approached, she saw a blood stain on Shen Jingci's arm. It looks so shocking.
Shen Jingci seemed not to hear it, and her thoughts were wandering to nowhere.
"Miss?"
Probably because Xiang'er was new to the Shen Mansion to serve Shen Jingci. She was not afraid of those who didn't know it, and she was more courageous than others. Seeing that Shen Jingci didn't say anything, she stepped forward and said, "Miss, even though it's spring, after all, it's spring." It's a little cold. Your wound won't heal if it's exposed to the wind. I look at you..."
"roll!"
Shen Jingci almost roared in a low voice. No one had ever really cared about her. Even Xiang'er was probably afraid of being punished, which was why he was so anxious to change her medicine.
"This slave deserves to die!"
