"Where are you going, Second Princess?"
Hongyuan hastily chased after her and looked at Ling Muer nervously.
"Although I'm married, I prefer others to call me a girl. You are the same as Shang Zhi and the others. Just call me a girl in the future." Ling Mu'er explained, and looked at the door of the house again, "I'll go through the process. You don't have to follow some private matters."
"It's the girl, but the girl left me to let me be your personal maid. How could Hongyuan not follow you when you go out, besides, it's already late at night." Hongyuan looked up at the night.
"I need a maid to stay by my side, just because my previous maid, Shang Zhi, has to sit in the medical hall and do things for me, so she's too busy, but most of the time I do things by myself, maybe it's been a habit for many years. , I don't really like being followed when I go out to do errands. So you just stay quietly at the house, and I will tell you when I need you." Ling Muer left the words and walked towards the door of the house.
"Then how can it be done? Since Hongyuan is the girl's girl, she should protect the girl personally, otherwise it would be unnecessary for the girl to find someone who is good at skills."
Hongyuan opened her mouth very quickly, and followed closely at the same time. After speaking, she realized that the master in front had also stopped.
She hastened to stop her pace so as not to bump into her background.
"It seems that the nanny in the teeth didn't train you very much, so that you don't know the truth that the master's words cannot be violated!"
Ling Mu'er looked a little displeased, but when she saw her blushing face instantly, she curled her lips again, trying to be as gentle as possible, "Shao Chen has already sent many secret guards to accompany him for protection, so I go out alone whether it is daytime or There will be no problems in the dark night, so you can rest assured?"
Hongyuan's face turned red from being blocked, and she couldn't say a word for a while, feeling her fiery eyes, finally she nodded in shame.
"It's late at night and it's cold outside. Go back to your room and wait. You don't have to be so nervous when you're serving on the first day. If you're tired, you can go back and rest first."
Ling Muer explained as gently as possible, seeing that she understood this time, she stepped up and left.
Hongyuan originally wanted to catch up with her, but seeing how resolute she walked, she had no choice but to give up.
Turning around, she hurried back to the room, but instead of sitting down to rest according to Ling Muer's words, she hurriedly took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few words in a hurry, rolled them into a small and imperceptible roll and put it in a special inside the bamboo tube,
When she came to the window, she whistled, and a rare black carrier pigeon appeared on her arm.
The red mandarin duck tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's ankle, stroked its feathers, and said "go," and the pigeon flew away.
As if the task had been completed, Hong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair with peace of mind.
Today is indeed her first day serving Ling Mu'er, and it's no different from serving young masters in the past. Apart from serving tea and water, this second concubine has no special hobbies or deliberately making things difficult.
It's not as difficult to serve as she imagined, but it makes her feel a little flustered.
Since the third year with the young master, she has tried to handle some affairs of the mansion for the young master, and even now even if there is a Xian Wangfei, she can handle the affairs of the Xian Wang mansion, but overnight, She has changed from a housekeeper to someone else's personal maid. To be honest, she always feels a little empty in her heart.
She threw herself on the table, staring blankly at the teacup in front of her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was unfair. Why did the young master treat this woman so well, and let her come and serve him close?
Snapped.
The door of the room was kicked open, and when Hong Yuan reacted, a figure suddenly appeared behind her at an extremely fast speed.
When someone tapped her finger, she instinctively opened her mouth, and when she was unprepared, a pill had already entered her stomach along her throat.
"What did you eat for me?"
Hong Yuan hurriedly covered her throat, trying to spit out the pill, but the thing seemed to melt quickly in her body, and even gave her whole body a sign of fever.
Hong Yuan looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, wanted to explode, but restrained herself because of her status, "Second Princess, what do you mean?"
"I should ask you that!"
Ling Mu'er stretched out her hand behind her, and a black carrier pigeon was chirping.
Hong Yuan instinctively opened her big pupils, she was about to pretend not to know, when she asked her what she meant, she noticed from the corner of her eye that the letter paper on the carrier pigeon's leg had disappeared, and she guessed that Ling Mu'er probably knew everything.
"Say, who did you report my whereabouts to?"
Ling Muer asked, sitting opposite her, looking at her coldly, like a judge interrogating a prisoner, her eyes were so cold and vicious that people dare not look directly at her.
"Since you have already suspected me, why do you keep me?"
Hongyuan was puzzled, and there was an unconcealable anger on her face.
She hated other people's doubts, and the feeling of being caught as a thief made her even more annoyed.
Young Master, Young Master, what kind of woman do you like who has no bottom line? She is not worth it.
"Deliberately knock down the vase with stones, and then fly to save me, so that I can pay attention to you. I'm afraid that I won't choose you, and you pretend to be pitiful to win my sympathy. Since you do this, you should think that it will arouse my suspicion! Yesterday! I have already said that if you are loyal to me, I will not make things difficult for you, nor will I treat you badly, but if you have other intentions, then the medicine in my hand will kill you at any time!"
As Ling Muer spoke, she stared at her carefully, not letting go of her every subtle movement.
Hongyuan grabbed her neck instinctively, her face changed, she was very pale and frightened, "Did you give me poison just now?"
"So you're also afraid of death?" Ling Mu'er sneered, "If you dare to hang out with me, I thought you were not afraid of anything."
Seeing her pale face, Ling Muer was not so nervous, "I am a doctor, the medicine in my hand can save people, but of course it can also harm people. The pill you took just now is not a deadly poison. , It won’t make you very painful, but if there is no antidote within three days, you will bleed from all over the body and die. But as long as you tell the truth, I will give you the antidote immediately.”
"You mean!"
Hongyuan blew her nose and stared angrily, rushed over to teach her a lesson without even thinking, but before her hand touched her face, her wrist was already imprisoned by a strong hand.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that a woman's power could be so great.
"You let me go!"
"Tell me, who are you, who are you instigated by, and what is your purpose in coming to the Second Prince's Mansion!"
Hongyuan turned her head stubbornly, "Kill me if you have the ability, I will never betray... the master."
"What a loyal girl who protects the lord." Ling Muer admired her temperament.
Looking at her stubborn eyes, she could tell that Hong Yuan was definitely not putting on airs, she really couldn't speak.
Could it be Qin Ruochen?
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
As if by a magic trick, Ling Muer suddenly had a dagger in her hand, which dangled in front of her, shining into her eyes.
Hongyuan didn't even blink her eyes, "Since you found out, whether it's life or death, it's up to you."
"Courageous!" Ling Muer praised, "You have already betrayed me by disclosing my whereabouts to others, and the Second Prince's Mansion will not let you stay. But if I throw you out like this, I will not be able to do anything to the people in the mansion." The other servants confessed that it will be even more difficult to convince the public in the future. Therefore, the death penalty is inevitable. I will scratch your face first, then cut off your back, break your hamstrings, and throw you out of the house .”
She deliberately spoke slowly, carefully watching Hongyuan's expression every time she said a word.
She clearly saw fear flashing in her eyes, but after some struggle, that fear turned into fortitude again.
"Even if you torture me to death, I will not betray my master!"
Sure enough, this girl who looked weak on the outside had perseverance that ordinary people did not have. She would rather die or be tortured than tell her who her master was.
She appreciates such a character,
"So not afraid of death?" Ling Mu'er smiled, "Then I'll let you try it, the newly developed poison is ready."
As she spoke, she took out a medicine bottle from her pocket, "This is called Duanchang powder. Those who take it will suffer seven days and seven nights of torment of separation of flesh and blood, broken liver and intestines. There is no antidote. Once you bend down, the effect of the medicine will explode immediately, and then cooperate with it." I took the pill for you just now, and you may not have to last for three days."
Almost finished speaking, Ling Mu'er stood up abruptly, pinching her chin with one hand, while bringing the medicine bottle to her lips. He yelled, "Say, who sent you here, and what is your purpose!"
"I..." Hongyuan was terrified, her face was pale and frightened, her eyes were full of horror.
But soon, she gritted her teeth and stared at her fiercely, "I said, I will not betray my master, even if you kill me, you won't say so, kill me, give me a good time!"
Before Ling Mu'er could make another move, Hongyuan had already recovered her composure, allowing her to pinch her jaw, as if she was ready to die!
What a tough and resolute girl.
Ling Mu'er carefully looked into her eyes for a long time, seeing that her eyelashes were trembling with fear, but she would rather die than open her mouth for the sake of the people behind her.
After a long time, Ling Muer let go of the hand that restrained her, and also took back the medicine bottle.
"You won't kill me?" Hongyuan was extremely surprised.
"Believe it or not, I have no habit of killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Hong Yuan found that she couldn't understand the woman in front of her at all.
She is indeed beautiful, and her mind is very delicate and cautious. She could cut off her artery with a dagger, but she let it go suddenly.
Could it be that she has guessed who is behind her?
No, it's impossible.
"If you don't kill me, then let me go, don't regret it!"
Hong Yuan left the words and ran to the door of the room immediately, but before her hand touched the doorknob, the three silver needles shot over with a 'swoosh' and landed precisely between her fingers.
"Who said I'm going to drive you out of the house?"
Hong Yuan was completely taken aback, "Since you know that I was ordered to approach you, why did you keep me in the second prince's mansion?"
"As I said, I appreciate your loyalty. If you can be of use to me, that would be great. Of course, if you are really sent by my enemy, instead of driving you out of the second prince's mansion, let them find you again." Opportunity squeezes in a stranger that I am not prepared for, why don't you stay, I want to see what the person behind you wants to do!"
