"45 color embryo, scolding who"
In the quiet room, two people sat facing each other, with intense unease lingering in their hearts, a feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
After a long silence, Rukou suddenly said:
"Let's go back."
"Go back?" Liu Yi was shocked, a thread of shock: "Sister, has it really come to this?"
Today, Master Yi Wang seemed to have no reaction either. Although it could be said that he might suspect the two of them secretly colluding against the little slave girl, it was just a suspicion after all.
"Sister, are you afraid that Prince Wang will blame us?" When they left the mountain cave, she had especially paid attention to Prince Wang's expression, but he was as usual, with a calm and collected face, without any sign of displeasure.
She said, "Without any evidence, the king would not suddenly punish us. Besides, that slave girl expressed her own opinion in front of everyone, so even if someone suspected we did it on purpose, they couldn't do anything to us."
They are after all people of Fengmeng, with the relationship between Yi Wangye and Rong Guifei, if they didn't really commit a big mistake, Yi Wangye shouldn't have taken action against them.
Even if he didn't put Feng Meng in his eyes, but for Guifei Niangniang, Yitai Wangye would still give a few points of thin face.
"We can't go back now." She looked at Rukou and said firmly, "The Imperial Concubine has high expectations of us, hoping that we can gain the favor of the Prince. If we return like this, even if the Concubine doesn't blame us, our position in the alliance will definitely be greatly reduced in the future."
She pinched the cup in her hand, and a hint of dimness flashed at the bottom of her eyes: "Sister, have you forgotten how much hardship we suffered in the past to achieve our current status in Fengmeng? If I go back like this, I won't be able to bear it."
In Fengmengli, most of them are born with noble blood, either as the daughters of high-ranking officials or as rich young ladies, and many have their own background and influence.
Empress Gong is a strict and fair person, as long as you have ability, you will be reused by her.
Although they also need to undergo trials and tribulations to climb up step by step, not everyone in Fengmeng is as kind to their subordinates as the noble concubine.
Not a few of the powerful eunuchs and mid-level officials, even those who were only under the rank of Imperial Noble Consort, would have some biases in their evaluations. They would show favoritism to girls from noble families during the selection process, while being overly strict with those from humble backgrounds like hers.
They have been in Fengmeng for three years and have only managed to climb to the position of Shao Ling with great difficulty. If they were to be demoted to Feng Ren due to this small matter, how could they bear it?
It's just a small matter, after all, Jiu Yin died outside, and for Yi Wang Ye, it shouldn't be worth mentioning, she was just a worthless female slave.
But they never expected that King Yi would personally go to the back mountain last night to search for her.
It turned out that after inquiring about the news of Wang Ye going to Hou Shan last night, the two had been tossing and turning all night, it seems that this female slave still has some status in Wang Ye's heart.
They moved her, which means they have offended the king. It is said that King Yi is a man who does what he wants, never following common sense or rules, even when facing the emperor, he is arrogant and careless. Liu Ke was worried that they had already offended the king without realizing it.
"Sister, don't worry, I think the king is just temporarily infatuated with that slave girl." Luoyi continued to comfort her: "The king went on an expedition, and there was no one serving him by his side. Before we arrived, there was only that slave girl, it's normal for the king to like her."
After all, who can deny that Jiu Yin indeed has a face that even women can't help but take a few more glances at.
Luk looked at her, although Luk's face was full of confidence, she still had a few points of unease in her heart: "So your meaning..."
"Sister, the king didn't punish us today. Probably in a few days he will forget about this matter. As long as we keep quiet for these few days and don't provoke that slave girl, after some time has passed, no one will mention this again."
Liu Yi put down the cup in her hand, hooked up her delicate lips and smiled lightly: "Let's think of a way to make Wang Ye like us."
Even if they can't be the queen due to their humble origins, with their beauty, being a concubine is more than enough.
Moreover, they are people of Fengmeng. Nowadays, the powerful and wealthy in the capital are eager to curry favor with Princess Yonggui, so they have been eyeing the women of Fengmeng, wishing they could marry one back home.
They will be proud to marry a woman from the Fengmeng family. King Yi will soon realize the benefits and drawbacks of this relationship.
Luyu remained silent, still feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Can this matter really calm down slowly like a sandstorm in the sky?
Will King Yi give those two sisters another chance?
……
Compared to Lü Qi's anxiety and unease, Jiuyin was getting more and more comfortable and calm.
They stayed in the post house for three days and nights, and on the evening of the fourth day, the wind and sand finally dispersed, but the sky was still gloomy, and a torrential rain suddenly arrived.
It's just in time for this rain to come, a heavy downpour can wash away a lot of dirt and dust from the earth.
These three days, Jiuyin still went to Feng Chenye's place to serve him, as if she had already gotten used to it. Every morning, she would wake up early to serve Feng Chenye breakfast, and after finishing her own tasks, she would stay in his room for the entire day.
Feng Chen didn't make things difficult for her, he just needed her to test the poison and wait on him while he bathed.
She also prepared her own clothes here, and every time Feng Chen washed up after his bath at night, he would let her wash herself clean before continuing to serve him. Fortunately, she had made preparations early on, otherwise she would have to wear his robes every day again.
As for the so-called tasting of food before eating, she later heard that in Qing Yi's place, all the meals were personally taken care of by Qing Yi's people, and there was no need to taste the food beforehand.
But every day, Feng Chen still made her taste first, even asking her to try each dish several times, saying that he wanted to see if she would show any signs of poisoning after eating. Now it seems that he was just looking for an excuse to use her as a poison tester.
No wonder he made her continue serving every time after lunch, without giving her any time to go back and have her own meal.
Feng Chen Ye's thoughts were really hard for ordinary people to guess.
At first, Jiuyin thought he would punish Lu Ke and Lu Wei a little, but unexpectedly, for three consecutive days, he didn't mention the matter again. As time passed, she also calmed down.
It seems that I have to take revenge myself, men are really unreliable.
That night, after serving Feng Chen and bathing him, she also cleaned herself up and then knelt down beside him on the floor, massaging his legs with her slender fingers.
Tonight's Feng Chen looks very leisurely, and the book in his hand doesn't seem like a ledger or any other serious book.
He leaned back in his chair, leisurely flipping through it, occasionally, the profound eyes like a starry sky would slightly curve up, and a few joyful glows flashed at the bottom of his eyes.
Jiuyin was very curious what he was looking at, but the small booklet was blocked by his wide sleeves, and from her angle, she couldn't see the contents inside.
Every time she couldn't help but raise her eyes to sneak a peek, he would lower his eyes and give her a cold glance, warning her to withdraw her curious gaze. Jiuyin didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she had to lower her eyelids again and wait quietly.
Reading a book also has to be so mysterious, isn't it just reading a little booklet?
"Damn it." She muttered under her breath, her voice so low she could hardly hear herself.
He didn't want to, but Feng Chen Ye suddenly closed the book, his large palm swooping down, five fingers landing on her chin and gently pinching it, directly lifting up her face.
Jiuyin was startled and looked up at him with her head raised, wondering what he was going crazy about again.
But whatever he does, she will follow suit.
These days of getting along, she has learned how to deal with this proud prince.
As long as he appears obedient on the surface, in most cases he will not make things difficult for himself.
Of course, she herself also knows, it's just in most cases.
"Prince..." Her thin lips moved slightly, calling out softly, her eyes filled with surprise and unease.
Here is such a pitiful look again!
Feng Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed down at her, his voice cold as he asked, "Xie Rou, who are you scolding?"
Who is being scolded?
A flicker of guilt flashed across her face for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
She forced a flattering smile and said: "Replying to Your Highness, I... was scolding a certain man I saw on the road that day."
"Why?"
His voice was very low and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, of course, it was also impossible to know what he was thinking now.
Her eyebrows and eyes curved, a smile still on her lips: "That day I saw that man staring at me for a long time, now thinking about it, I think he was just a pervert."
Feng Chen's long fingers suddenly tightened, and his eyes also turned cold in an instant: "Little slave girl, do you think I'm a fool?"
He pinched her so hard that Jiuyin suddenly felt a sharp pain and furrowed her brow. She opened her mouth, saying helplessly: "I... I just thought you were reading a small booklet."
"What is a booklet?"
She pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said softly: "A Spring Palace Painting."
Although this remark will inevitably offend him, she knew that he was not an object that could be casually fooled around with. At this time, if she didn't tell the truth, she had a premonition that she would die miserably.
Feng Chenye stared at her all night, his eyes dull and expressionless, with no ripples in his eyes.
She stared at her for a long time, staring until she felt goosebumps in her heart and cold sweat seeping from her palms.
Just as she couldn't bear it and was about to beg for mercy, his thin lips suddenly curved up slightly, a hint of a smile escaping from the corner of his mouth.
"That's interesting." He smiled, a joyful and hearty smile, surprisingly genuine.
She opened her eyes and gazed at him with a pair of bewildered eyes.
Feng Chenye withdrew his hand that was pinching her chin and suddenly tossed the book in his hand in front of her.
She picked it up subconsciously and flipped through a few pages.
At one glance, his face suddenly turned black as coal.
It really is... a little book...
The King of Yi is actually hiding in his room reading erotic books!
Inside, the men and women entwined in each other's limbs, although not as provocative as real people, but with exquisite craftsmanship, they painted every move of theirs in great detail, and also depicted their joyful and intoxicating expressions vividly.
Looking at the small booklet in his hand, Jiuyin didn't know what to do next.
