Bishui was shocked, raised her head suddenly, and stared at the man in front of her in horror. The man's eyes were sharp, and he said word by word: "She understands me best. She knows how much benefit Qiaochu has for me. Qiaochu is my thing. What I can't tolerate most in my life is that others touch my things without my permission, no matter who that person is! Bishui, considering that you have followed me for more than ten years, you go to Uncle Tie to accept the sentence. I will spare your death this time. If it happens again, you can commit suicide. Do you understand?"

"Miss, look how much I protect you, and Bishui has become the scapegoat. But, the Eighth Master is also the same, he scared me too..."
Watching Prince Rui bring Lang Linling back to the couch and say a few words to him before leaving, Bishui left with Fang Ming and Jing Ping with a pale face. Xiang'er came back to her senses, got up from the ground, ran to Lang Linling's couch, and said with lingering fear, as she spoke, she suddenly remembered Prince Rui's gloomy and stern look just now, and she stopped talking abruptly, not daring to say anything more.
Her face suddenly went numb, and she stared at Lang Linling, who was lying on the bed and slapping her coldly, in disbelief, and murmured, "Miss..."
Lang Linling's beautiful face was cold, and her eyes flashed with joy, confusion, and cruelty... Her expression was extremely complicated.
Seeing her staring at her, Lang Linling sneered: "What do you know? You don't understand what he said at all!"
She smiled coldly and slowly lowered her eyes, whispering, "Well, actually I don't understand either… He loves me, otherwise he could have blamed or punished me. I love him, the Lang family helps him openly, and the Lang family relies on him secretly, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. He didn't blame me, which is enough to show that he loves me… But he doesn't allow anyone to touch Qiaochu. I just carefully observed his appearance, and he doesn't seem to love Qiaochu. However, he is protecting her, and the weight of this protection… is not light, too heavy... I can't tell whether he loves Qiaochu or not, I really can't tell...
Xiang'er had never seen Lang Linling lose her composure like this before. She felt a slap on her face, which was painful and numb, but she had been with Lang Linling since she was a child, so she did not bear a grudge against him. Instead, she hated Qiaochu even more and gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, you must not let Qiaochu go. This woman is a disaster."
Chao Lang Linling glanced at Xiang'er, his eyes slightly condensed. It would be difficult to move Qiaochu now.
This fool girl of hers did say one thing correctly: Qiaochu must not be let go. Otherwise, one day, this woman would become a stumbling block to her rule as the mother of the country!
She waits, waits for an opportunity, and there will definitely be one...
Although she was reluctant to find out, when Qiaochu woke up, she found herself curled up in the arms of King Rui. He was leaning on the couch reading a book. When he saw her wake up, he gently patted her head and said, "There will be food soon."
Qiaochu moved her eyelids to adjust to the bright light in the tent. It seemed that it was already noon the next day. She curled her lips and said, "I'm not that hungry or thirsty. Why are you still here?"
"I said I'm here with you."
Prince Rui's tone was slightly serious, and he put the book down heavily.
He reached out to lift the veil on her head. She wanted to get out of the way and told him to leave. Then, a guard outside the door announced, "Eighth Master, Miss Bishui is here."
Qiaochu didn't want to see Bishui, but she thought that since she asked to see him, she must have something to do with this man, and she had no right to stop her.
King Rui said to let her go, so she said, "I'll sleep a little longer."
Prince Rui's eyes seemed to be slightly raised. He touched her head carelessly and hummed softly in response.
She wanted to roll back inside and sleep, but her body was restrained in the man's arms.
Her heart sank slightly. As soon as she looked up, the curtain had been opened. She couldn't say anything else, so she closed her eyes.
"Master, this is Master Qiao's food."
When she heard the sound of the food basket being put on the table, she was immediately helped up by someone in a somewhat forceful manner. "Qiaochu, eat first and then go to sleep."
She gritted her teeth and opened her eyes. Prince Rui had picked up the book with one hand and his eyes were fixed on the pages, extremely focused. With his other hand, he was holding her. His gestures were casual, and his five fingers seemed to just go around her waist and gently rest on her belly, but she could not move at all.
Bishui was fiddling with dishes at the desk. When she saw her get up, she immediately turned sideways and bowed to her.

Qiaochu nodded in response, but she was slightly startled. This man's maid came all the way to serve her food and drink? Suddenly, her eyes paused, fell on Bishui's hand, and her breathing tightened.
At this time, Bishui served the soup and handed it over.
As she was taking the bowl, Prince Rui suddenly rolled up the book, casually placed it on the couch, took out a brocade bag from his arms, threw it on the table, and said in a calm voice: "You don't need to serve here, go out."
Bishui quickly took the brocade bag and put it in her arms. She bowed to the two of them and said softly, "Master Qiao, take care. Master, I will take my leave first."
Qiaochu knew that the information in the brocade bag must be extraordinary. She held the bowl, which was hot to her hands. Seeing Bishui approach the tent, she couldn't help but said, "Miss Bishui, please stay for a moment."
"Wait."
At the same time, King Rui also spoke out to stop it.
Bishui was greatly surprised and turned around in a hurry, only to see King Rui staring at Qiaochu, smiling, "Why, why did you call my maid?"
Since Qiaochu had spoken, he did not intend to be shy. He stared at the clear water and said softly, "Pay attention to your hands."
Bishui was slightly shocked, then bowed to her and looked at King Rui. King Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Now that there is nothing to do, go out."
Bishui nodded, then lifted the tent and walked out.
Qiaochu was suspicious, but she didn't want to get involved. After a brief thought, she finally asked, "Don't you have something to tell her?"
"Since you've said that, do I need to be a burden?" Prince Rui asked back indifferently, his tone was languid and lazy. As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin with a bit of cruelty, "This place is subtle, when did you find out?"
Qiaochu resisted the urge to pour the hot soup on him... The consequence of doing so was that she would also suffer. She gritted her teeth and said, "On the eve of the hunt, by chance, I remembered something that happened when your father visited the Rui Palace. When I saw you today, I remembered it. But I had always forgotten to thank you for what you did to make me a concubine."
Prince Rui frowned, withdrew his hand and grasped her slightly trembling wrist, and said in a calm voice: "The soup is cold, drink it first."
Qiaochu sneered. She was indeed hungry, so there was no need to be hard on herself. Just as she was about to drink the soup, she heard the guard's respectful but hesitant voice from outside the door, "Eighth Master, Ninth Master wants to see you..."

If King Rui had not held her hand tightly, the hot soup in her hand would have spilled.
Qiaochu was startled, and saw that his eyes dimmed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. He did not speak, and stared at her.
She would never let him hurt King Xia! Putting the soup bowl back on the table, she whispered, "Come with me."
As she spoke, she endured the pain in her body, got out of bed and put on her shoes. Suddenly, her waist was tightened and someone picked her up by the waist. A deep voice sounded in her ears, "Where are you going?"
She pointed to the entrance of the tent.
Prince Rui silently carried her to the door. Thinking of that proud man, she smiled bitterly in her heart, but said, "Master, can you go out and see Master Jiu? I still want to rest for a while, so it's inconvenient for me to see guests."
"Oh, I thought Concubine Qiao and my ninth brother were very close friends. It's just right that my ninth brother came to visit." Prince Rui put her down and let her lean on his chest... He said it lightly, but his eyes were bright and deep, calculating and thinking.
"Please forgive me for not liking your joke. You know I... never like him. He is arrogant. But, there are some things and he is useful to me, so I will cater to him... You can go out and meet him, okay?"
She felt a pain in her heart, but her words became more and more fluent. In the last sentence, there was even a hint of anger. Prince Rui stared at her deeply, then suddenly lifted the tent and walked out quickly.
When he walked out, her legs went limp and she leaned against the end of the couch tremblingly. She heard a voice coming from outside, "Eighth Brother, Xiaojiu is worried about... Eighth Sister-in-law's injury, so I brought him over to check on her."
"Ninth brother, you are thoughtful, but Concubine Qiao is still sleeping and cannot see guests. Besides, she is already well. Ninth brother, please tell Xiaojiu to be at ease. Right now, the emperor is hunting hard, so you'd better return quickly."
As the voice of King Rui sounded faintly, covering the previous tense and hoarse voice, Qiaochu bit her lips tightly... How could that be Shangguan Jingcong's voice, that humble voice with a hint of request...
Her heart ached, and suddenly she heard a tender voice shouting, "Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, we clearly heard the voice of Eighth Sister-in-law just now, why did Eighth Brother say she was still sleeping?"
"Xiaojiu, shut up! Brother B, I'll take Xiaojiu back first. Here are some supplements from my mother. They are a little gift from me. Please give them to my sister-in-law..."
Shangguan Jingcong must have heard her words, and must have been angry with her? Qiaochu smiled bitterly, unable to hold back any longer, and quietly walked to the edge of the tent, quietly opening the curtain a little. A few dozen meters away, dozens of imperial guards stood solemnly on both sides, and in the middle, there were two figures, one tall and one small... The small figure clung to the hem of the tall figure's robe, walking dejectedly, while the tall and upright man stood straight...
In front of the tent, Prince Rui had one hand behind his back and the other holding a food basket.
Before she met his gaze, she could already feel a strong chill gushing out from the iron mask.
The curtain in her hand fell quickly, her breath was choked, and she dared not peek at his expression again.
…
When Shangguan Jinghong came in, she was sitting on the edge of the bed and sipping soup slowly.
The man didn't say anything. He put the food basket on the table and glanced at her. His eyes were calm, but sharp as a knife. He was looking at her through the thin layer of smoke in the soup... All her nerves were so tense that they were about to break. She pretended to be cheerful, shaking her feet slightly and finished the soup.
Suddenly, she felt a heavy sensation on the top of her head. She clenched her teeth as the man's big hand stroked her head. He said in a very light voice, "How does it taste? Drink more. When you finish this, I'll ask them to make more for you..."
Her eyes lightly passed over the new food basket on the table. She smiled bitterly in her heart and said calmly, "I want to rest for a while. Let's get up and drink. If you have something to do, go ahead. Let the four great ladies and the beauty come and serve you."

"Um."
He snorted and asked, "Is it delicious?"
She was startled. Was this question so important? He asked it twice. To be honest, she felt that this soup was not even as good as the greasy and cold game she had had yesterday evening.
She just smiled back, it’s delicious.
"Qiaochu, I'm going to go out for a while and come back in the evening."
The top of his head was stroked heavily again, and his voice contained a hint of laughter, but was more solemn.
…
Shangguan Jinghong went out!
Qiaochu didn't know where this man went. She only knew that it must have nothing to do with hunting. It might be related to the clear water just now, the picture of the carriage, and tomorrow.
She didn't understand what he was laughing at before he left. She only knew that his voice was not relaxed.
She draped the quilt loosely, leaned against the head of the bed, stared at the new food basket, and then didn't look at it again.
This food basket was something she would never and could not open.
There is no benefit in watching more.
His eyes moved to the ground, and suddenly he found that there were several stoves at the end of the couch.
She was a little dazed when suddenly the voices of the four beautiful ladies came from outside the tent.
Bathing, changing clothes... After everything was done, two maids sat at the end of the couch to accompany her.
Accompanying her was the white fluffy thing under her belly - Yuanbao who was sleeping soundly. The beauty said that Jing Qing went to their tent and asked them to send it to her, saying that it was given to her by King Rui and she could do whatever she wanted with it.
She stared at the reddened skin on her arm... At this moment, the skin on her body was all like this.
