"It's good that the queen is not hurt." Lang Linling replied, then looked at Prince Rui and said with a smile: "Everything is fine."
At this time, Qiaochu led the four ladies and the beauty to greet everyone. Lang Linling asked Qiaochu about his condition, and Qiaochu just said that he was much better. Lang Linling nodded, then said "Yo", bowed to the front, "Your Highness is here too."
The prince approached and said with a smile, "I will follow your example and serve as a vegetable boy for once."
He glanced at her and said that he saw from a distance that she seemed to have fallen. She hurriedly said that she was fine. He nodded, then looked at Qiao Chu calmly and asked, "Is Concubine Qiao okay?"
Qiaochu knew that this man hated her deeply. He didn't find her in the room just now, but he saw her walking in the corridor and followed her.

He called her from behind, but she pretended not to hear him and walked like a 100-meter sprint until she arrived here. Seeing Qiao Mei and King Rui—
At this time, two more people came over, they were Fang Ming and Fang Jing.
She did not stand next to Prince Rui, letting Lang Linling stand with Prince Rui. She calmly walked to the other side of Lang Linling and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. With my master here and Sister Lang taking care of me, I feel much better now."
When Qiaochu said, "My master is here," Jingping saw the corners of Prince Rui's lips curled slightly, and the prince's eyebrows turned cold. Prince Rui took a food basket from the maid and smiled faintly, "Second brother, please."
The prince glanced at him and said nothing. He also took the food basket from the maid and followed her with a raised eyebrow.
At the side, Qiaochu looked carefully and saw Lang Linling glanced at her with raised eyebrows. She looked at the two of them, and vaguely seemed to feel someone looking at her.
After that, everyone accompanied the emperor for dinner. During the meal, the emperor asked about Qiaochu's illness with some concern. Qiaochu perked up and answered carefully, and thanked the emperor for the grace. After the meal, the emperor, the prince, and Prince Rui chatted about family matters and were very happy.
At night, after seeing off the emperor and the prince, Qiaochu felt unwell and went to bed early.
She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt someone sitting down on the edge of the bed. She woke up with a start.
The other person knew that she was awake, but he was not afraid. He continued to take off his outer robe.
Qiaochu calmed down for a moment. In such a huge Ruiwang Mansion, apart from that person, who else would dare to be so presumptuous
She hesitated for a moment, then took the robe that the man had thrown on the bed, smoothed out the folds on it, put on her shoes, got out of bed, and placed the clothes on a small couch at the side.
The man did not move. He waited until she got on the bed and lay down on the inside before he slept on the outside.
Covered with the same quilt, the other person's breath could be heard faintly. Qiaochu finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are you here?"
Prince Rui said nothing and pulled the quilt towards himself.
Qiaochu didn't dare to snatch the quilt from him, so he smiled and said, "I walked into the wrong room."
"If you are the best, then you are not wrong."
After a while, his voice sounded coldly behind her.
Jiao Qiaochu was stunned for a long time, but she also understood that he must have his reasons for coming here. He didn't seem to want to talk more, so she didn't ask any more questions. When she returned to get her shoes today, she heard the conversation between him and Jingping. At that time, she felt sad, but she was still a little emotional. Later, after a pain and cold sweat, she finally figured it out.
Chapter 113 The Princess' Knight (7)
In the dungeon, they only have each other. Outside the dungeon, he already has his love, so why should she bother to get entangled with him? Apart from being a lover, she should probably find a proper identity to stay by his side. After everything is over, they can go their separate ways.
She tried to overcome the slight tremor and disorder brought by his breath beside her, closed her eyes and thought about other people and things, but suddenly she thought of Linlang. Her heart skipped a beat and she began to worry about the friend she had only met once.
She shuddered as she thought about it, and King Rui's voice came coldly, "If you feel cold, then come in and sleep for a while."
She was stunned.
King Kou Rui did not lower the gauze curtain, and some moonlight leaked in through the window. She could see that the quilt between the two of them had a large dent. She was startled and then laughed a little. It was indeed very cold, so she leaned forward a little.
Prince Rui suddenly turned over, and she was startled and let out a low cry.
He snorted, "Are you afraid of me? When you take poison, you are very brave."
Xiao was stunned and said, "You gave it to me to eat. How can I not eat it?"
King Rui smiled coldly.
"Who told you about the Soul-Breaking Cold Orchid?"
She was startled and hesitated, "What do you mean?"
"You should know what I am talking about. The poison in your maid is fine, but the poison used by Princess Qiaomei this time is not simple. Although it won't kill you immediately, the poison is extremely toxic and will have a significant impact on your heart disease."
"The day you first arrived at the palace, I could tell at a glance that you had a heart disease. Do you know why? Because your heart disease is serious, and the symptoms are all on your face. This heart disease seems to be caused by a poison. I don't know how you were poisoned, but judging from your physical condition, the poison has been lurking for a very long time and there is no possibility of recovery. You will not live more than four years."
She hummed softly and said with a wry smile: "How do you know that I took Qiaomei's poison?"
"Your maid came to me to get the lotus pill. Concubine Lang and I came to see you. There was a very obvious dark blue aura on your forehead. It was only a short while since I examined you, and the only person who came to see you during this period was Qiao Mei. How do you think you got this poison, huh?"
She smiled and said in a low voice: "My master is a great master."
Hearing the praise, King Rui was not happy at all, and only asked: "Why did you take her medicine?"
"She caught my mother."
"reason."
"She thinks I'll seduce your brother."
"Based on your looks?"
The man sarcastically said this, and she smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you think so too?"
King Rui sneered, "You and my second brother did have an affair."
She did not argue, and did not know how to answer for a moment. After a while, she heard King Rui chuckle and said, "Your sister wanted to buy an extra insurance by catching him and then poisoning him."
"Um."
After she answered, he didn't reply for a long time. She guessed that he was asleep and glanced at him.
In the dim light, he still had a stern face. She was used to it, right? She felt a little sad. Seeing his arms casually resting outside the quilt, she sat up slightly and wanted to put his hands under the quilt.
Her hand hurt, and her wrist bone was twisted and buckled by a big hand. She gasped and smiled bitterly, "Are you going to break my hand again?"
He did not let go, and said in a low voice, "That's a good idea. I broke your right hand last night, and today I saw that you were using your left hand clumsily while eating, and I am happy."
Qiaochu was stunned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
His hand suddenly loosened, and the man's voice came faintly, "I will make the antidote for you when we return from the hunting grounds."

She was shocked and asked in a daze: "What did you say?"
"sleep."
She couldn't express the shock and feeling in her heart. After a long while, she whispered, "Thank you."
Prince Rui said nothing.
She lay down again, but could not sleep.
Although they had the most intimate relationship, she knew that the man next to her had no feelings for her. Feelings would not lie, just like she loved him and he loved Shen Qingling.
She always remembered the heat in his eyes when he stared at Shen Qingling's back when she walked out of the bamboo house.
"The king said, sleep."
Behind him, his voice was cold and impatient.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although she didn't fall asleep, she didn't make any sound. This man was too alert.
"Don't you hate me very much?" I finally asked.
"Well," he said sarcastically, "I do hate you, but I won't kill you unless it's necessary, and I don't want you to die."
"Why?"
"No reason."
"Because of Concubine Chang?"
"Qiaochu, when you were little, you once said you wanted to be my sister." He said coldly, and soon fell silent. The rest of the words seemed to be suddenly cut off by a sharp blade.
She slowly closed her eyes.
It turned out that when they first met in the Rui Palace, they did have some true feelings for each other, but unfortunately, too many things happened in the short time since then. They could not be siblings, nor could they be lovers.
She bit her lip, smiled, and said, "My master is indeed a master. He can tell what poison I have been poisoned by at a glance, and he can even make an antidote."
I tried to find some words to distract from the bitterness in my heart, but it made him chuckle.
"Qiaochu, do you think I'm a god? In order to get the poison that Qiaomei gave you, check the ingredients, and prepare the antidote, do you know how much effort I put in? I asked Concubine Lang to cook, and I bet that your sister would not let Concubine Lang be the only one to show off in front of the emperor, and she would definitely follow her. I also hired two secret guards Qiao Cheng, who are good at stealing. My second brother is a powerful character, and he can only do this if you are out of his sight."
She was shocked, and recalled what she had seen in the garden. Suddenly, she realized, "When the little maid returned the porcelain bottle to Qiaomei, she had already stolen the poison from it!"
Chapter 114 The Princess' Knight (8)
"If this antidote is made one day later, you, a short-lived ghost, will live one day less."
"Why did you return the medicine to her?"
She was still in shock as she spoke casually. As soon as she said it, she realized that she had asked a stupid question. If she didn't return the medicine bottle to Qiaomei, once Qiaomei found out that the poison was missing, she might not know that it was Prince Rui who did it, but given Qiaomei's cautiousness, it would be strange if he didn't give her a new flavor of poison to try.
She hurriedly said, "Just ignore the question just now."
King Kou Rui sneered softly, turned over, and had no intention of answering the question at all.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slowly turned over. She felt strange in her heart, and unexpectedly felt a kind of peace and tranquility. Even though she knew that there was no possibility between them anymore. Willing to give up, can you really get it if you give up? Let go, can you pick it up again if you let go
Although it’s calm, I still can’t sleep.
Xiao: "Qiaochu, are you going to sleep or not?"
The voice behind me sounded even colder and more impatient than before.
She sighed, feeling a little aggrieved. "Except for breathing, I didn't do anything else. I didn't dare to move. Whether I can fall asleep or not is not something I can control. If not, you can just pretend that I am asleep."
"Then stop breathing!" Prince Rui scolded, paused, and then said coldly: "Use honorifics in front of others. When we are together, you should call me the same as you used to. Forget about calling me concubine, so that you won't be uncomfortable to hear."
She was startled, responded, and was slightly stunned. She seemed to have called him by his full name before, and also called him Jinghong. However, calling him Jinghong was too intimate and a little dangerous.
She thought about it, turned over, and tentatively said, "Shangguan Jinghong."
No response.
She had no choice but to say, "Master Shangguan Jinghong, Master."
"Speak," King Rui turned over suddenly and said viciously, "Then go to sleep."
Her nose almost touched his, and she was startled and stepped back quickly. "I was thinking, if neither you nor I can fall asleep for the time being, why don't we chat?"
"One last question, ask!"
