Chapter 685 I Don’t Want Other Princes to Take This Big Treasure
That time, if he hadn't taken action in time, this nine-year-old child would have become the eunuch's shielded pet.
When he thought about what happened that day, when he thought about how the child was wrapped in clothes and wiping his tears after escaping from the disaster, he grieved for three days and three nights, staying in the woodshed without eating or drinking, and he felt very distressed.
However, after he told the Fifth Prince about this, the Fifth Prince only had red eyes and ordered him not to stay away from Young Master Jin. He also used some tricks to trick the young man outside and cut him into pieces. In the end, he did not relent and killed Young Master Jin. Take it back and live there.
Although some time had passed, he still remembered that after suffering such a great shame and humiliation that day, Mr. Jin had no thoughts of revenge against the young man. He just curled up in fear, cried silently, and silently humbled himself. Hide yourself in a shell and isolate yourself from all contact with the outside world.
In total, this incident was not as serious as the last time, but what Mr. Jin did was beyond his expectation.
Seemingly thinking that what he asked was nonsense, Rong Jindong raised his head and said with a dull but serious expression: "I didn't wipe up the water, they will know. I can only let them find out before they find out." No, I have no choice."
Man in the sky: "..."
This reason was something I had not expected before.
The man in the air suddenly frowned and felt a little panicked. Why did he feel that Mr. Jin was already a little delirious?
Was he bullied so harshly that his character became distorted?
The air became quiet again.
Rong Jindong was not so free. He asked in mid-air: "Do you have anything else to do?"
No one spoke.
Rong Jindong said: "I'll leave if nothing happens. My clothes are not dry yet. If they are not dried, I will die of cold."
After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and crawled back to the dry well. After a while, the man in the air saw smoke coming from the mouth of the well. The child had already lit a fire at the bottom of the dry well.
Two maids died under mysterious circumstances in the Prince's Mansion. After reporting the matter to his superiors, the Prince ordered someone to report the death to the officials. Soon Jing Zhaoyin personally came to investigate with his yamen servants.
After inspection, it was found that the body had been suffocated to death, and the murder weapon was the stove that had been burning all night.
This result is really unusual and no one is different.
The princess only gave fifty taels of silver to the families of these two maids, and ordered them to be buried well.
And if there is any follow-up to this incident, it is that the other maids were frightened and would rather sleep on a hard kang head and burn firewood under the kang at night than sleep on a soft and gentle wooden bed with carved railings and light a charcoal fire in the house. stove.
Rong Fei learned the news that night. Under the worried tone of his subordinates, he just smiled, and Lao Huai said comfortingly: "Finally, I have grown up."
The subordinate endured it again and again, but he couldn't hold it anymore and said: "My lord, do you really not consider taking Mr. Jin back to live here? He is...becoming more and more strange now."
"Isn't it just the killing of two cheap slaves that makes you fuss? You don't even think about how many lives you have taken on your own hands."
"My subordinates kill all those who deserve to be killed!" the subordinate said, neither humble nor arrogant.
But Rong Fei just smiled: "For Xiao Jin, those two cheap maids are also the ones who deserve to be killed. One general has made thousands of bones withered. Without a bit of iron-blooded heart and thunderous methods, how can we take the bright road in the future?"
The subordinate knew what the prince meant, but in the end, he said nothing and resigned silently.
As soon as the subordinate left, a palace maid came to report that the imperial doctor had arrived.
Rong Fei regained his energetic look, lay back on the bed, and said to the door with a weak look on his face: "Come in."
The imperial doctor came to check his pulse, and the answer was the same as the previous few days. The man's roots were damaged and he still needed to rest.
The queen was receiving the prince and the princess. After hearing what Shu Zhen said, she just nodded, but her face could not hide her fatigue.
Seeing that the Queen seemed worried, the Crown Princess was very alert and immediately asked obediently: "Mother, are you worried about your fifth brother?"
Rong Fei is no longer just a man's business, he is indeed a well-known figure in the streets.
The queen endured the increasingly ugly look on her face and nodded to the Crown Princess without raising her eyes.
The Crown Princess rolled her eyes and said: "Even so, the fifth brother is still a high-ranking prince. I think it will be a good day in two days. If the mother does not dislike it, why not hold a plum blossom appreciation banquet and treat the young lady in the capital to The girls are all here to find a good marriage for the fifth brother."
The Crown Princess said this with skill.
The Queen ordered Yue Hai to go to the Lin family to cancel the engagement as Rong Fei's fiancée, but she did not make any announcement about it. Although some people knew about it, the Crown Princess had not received the news yet.
And since Rong Fei is no longer humane, the princess thought that the queen must not want to offend the Lin family, her mother's family, so she would give a good girl from the Lin family to a useless person, fearing that it would not work out, so she would have to match her with another one.
Therefore, there is this mention.
First, it would give the queen a step so that she could break off the engagement with the Lin family and choose another daughter of aristocratic family.
Secondly, the one you choose must be willing to get married, so you don’t have to worry about getting married as soon as possible. At that time, once they get married, the fifth prince may be more happy about it. After all, there is a princess who does not dislike him. A man's self-esteem is somewhat protective.
The Crown Princess thought well and spoke very considerately. However, the Queen already had a plan, so she just nodded lightly and did not agree.
Seeing the Queen's cold attitude, the Crown Princess was a little panicked. She knew that her idea was not in the Queen's heart, so she couldn't help but speculate.
The queen didn't say anything. After the two paid their respects, she asked Shu Zhen to see the guests off.
After the Crown Princess left, she was still a little confused about the Queen's thoughts, so she stuffed a jade bracelet into Shu Zhen and asked tactfully.
Shu Zhen took the jade bracelet with a smile and said: "If you are really willing to serve the Queen, it's still early, so why not go to Princess Yuehai's palace."
When the Crown Princess heard this, her eyes moved, and then she asked: "Could it be that the Queen Mother is interested in..."
The prince was nearby and obviously heard it.
The prince was stunned for a moment and frowned: "The queen wants to betroth Yuehai to Rong Fei?"
Shuzhen could hear the disapproval in the prince's tone. It was probably true that Princess Yuehai was a golden lady, but the prince already had a concubine, so it was hard to get another one. But obviously, the prince didn't want other princes to take this big treasure. After that, even though that person was his biological brother, the Fifth Prince, he was still a useless person with no future.
Shuzhen bowed to the prince in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and left without saying anything more.
Upon seeing this, the prince's brows furrowed even more tightly and his expression became unpleasant.
But the Crown Princess had her own plans. After a few words with the Crown Prince and receiving a cold response from Rong Ting, she took several maids to Princess Yuehai's palace.
