Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Chapter 17 Are you worried about me? Then come over and try the food for me.

Mao Ping asked someone to arrange a place for Qin Qing to live.

As soon as he left, Qin Qing was so angry that she lay on the bed and cried loudly: "Bitch! Bitch..."

The maid Xiangyu who came with her hurriedly comforted her: "County Lady... The Duke and his wife in the mansion have expressed their opinions, saying that your status will not change. Why did you come here...?"

Qin Qing's eyes darkened and she raised her head: "What do you know? Blood is thicker than water. If my parents don't say anything now, they may be partial to me in the future! If I don't plan for my own future, who else can plan for me?"

Zhilan was right, one's future is in one's own hands! Zhilan, a prostitute, could have such thoughts, so she, a legitimate daughter of a duke, should have the same idea!

Xiangyu's face was full of distress: "But County Lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been weak since childhood..."

Qin Qing wiped her tears and sneered, "What do you know? Why would I fall for that sickly girl?

His Royal Highness Prince Yao is the eldest son of the emperor. If something goes wrong with my cousin's trip to Jiangnan, the position of crown prince will belong to Prince Yao! My target is of course His Royal Highness Prince Yao!

Now Zhilan has written a letter to His Royal Highness Prince Yao, and His Royal Highness Prince Yao has asked me to come here and wait for an opportunity, so of course I must seize this opportunity."

Xiangyu opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of fear. Is the county lady crazy?

Even she, a maid in the inner house, knew that Queen Qin was forced out of the palace by Prince Yao's mother, Concubine Qi. The Qin family had always been at odds with Prince Yao in the court, and the situation had even reached a critical point!

Although the county princess is not the Qin family's biological daughter, the Qin family has provided her with fine clothes and delicious food for fifteen years.

How could the county lady fall in love with King Yao? !

This is really...

Xiangyu didn't even dare to think about the words "wolf heart and dog lung".

Xiangyu endured it again and again, but still advised worriedly: "But County Lady, this is not good, you..."

Qin Qing glanced at her, eyes full of venom: "What's wrong? Don't forget, your mother was seriously ill, who hired a doctor for her? If you dare to tell on her, you'll have to wait for your mother's body to be collected!"

Xiangyu was so frightened that her face turned pale: "I dare not, I dare not..."

Qin Qing snorted coldly, raised her hand to wipe her tears, stood up, wrote a note, and stuffed it into Xiangyu's pocket: "Go, help me deliver it to Aunt Hai of the prefectural governor's family."

Xiangyu nodded quickly: "Yes!"

The maid had a bitter smile on her face. She knew that she couldn't persuade the county lady, but... she wanted to live!

-

The next morning.

Shen Xiyue was awakened by the sound of talking. At first she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Then Mao Ping reported from outside: "Your Highness, the county lady has prepared a table of breakfast and asked you to eat with her."

Then, Murong Xuan's indifferent voice sounded: "Got it, I'll go over now."

Shen Xiyue immediately opened her eyes and kindly reminded: "...Your Highness, can you please not go? I'm afraid she has poisoned the food."

Murong Xuan gave her an ambiguous look and said, "Are you worried about me? Then come over and try the dishes for me."

Shen Xiyue was stunned.

......It seems that she is afraid of death too!

Murong Xuan withdrew his gaze, said nothing more, stood up and walked out.

Shen Xiyue was still worried about him.

He gritted his teeth and decided to go for it. He quickly called Shuang Ye over, dressed her up like she did yesterday, and followed her closely with big strides.

......

In the dining room.

Qin Qing changed into a crimson dress, smiling sweetly, like a peeled lychee, and was eating a piece of cloud cake.

When she saw her coming, Qin Qing angrily threw down the cloud cake and said to Murong Xuan coquettishly: "Cousin, why is he here again! I can't eat anymore, tell him to go out!"

Shen Xiyue made up her mind and simply sat down opposite her.

He reached out and pinched a piece of fresh cloud cake, and ate it slowly, and the mole on his face moved with it.

Qin Qing felt sick: "...Cousin, I'm full!"

After that, he got up and left.

She wanted to leave, and no one stopped her.

Murong Xuan asked in a gentle voice: "Is it delicious?"

Shen Xiyue felt depressed and shook her head sincerely: "It's not delicious."

This thing is obviously sweet, but why does it become more sour the more she eats it?

Murong Xuan reached out and took away the half piece of Yunpian Cake she had left as if it were his own thing.

His eyes were clear and sincere: "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

Shen Xiyue just felt like she had punched cotton.

Mao Ping came in and reported: "Your Highness, there is a message from Tongzhou that the grain ship has set sail. With favorable winds, it will reach Jiangnan in less than ten days."

Murong Xuan asked again: "Where are the people who will pick up the boat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Mao Ping said: "The official commander who received the ship was a lieutenant general named Liu Wu, who was originally a subordinate of Lord Shen... The commander who took over the Zhuozhou line was still Wang Duwei, who was originally arranged by the Prince of Qi."

Murong Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

Shen Xiyue was stunned as she listened to the conversation between the two, then suddenly looked up at Murong Xuan.

......He is lying to Qin Qing!

The real grain ship left for Tongzhou Wharf, but he told Qin Qing last night that they had to wait until the grain ship from Zhuozhou was loaded before they could set sail.

According to Mao Ping, the Zhuozhou route was originally planned by Qi Xun. Murong Xuan is such a cautious person that he doesn't believe Qi Xun, let alone Qin Qing who suddenly appeared here.

I think the reason why he agreed to keep Qin Qing was just to avoid alerting the enemy so that he could secretly transport the grain to Tongzhou.

Shen Xiyue bit her lip and couldn't help but wonder, if he had just asked her to taste the food for him, was he trying to explain the misunderstanding to her in a tactful way...

Murong Xuan's eyes were filled with a bit of amusement, and his voice was a bit nonchalant: "Go ask someone to make another bowl of chicken soup wontons, with shrimp and corn filling."

Mao Ping quickly responded: "Yes."

Shen Xiyue's eyes lit up. Chicken soup wontons... were also her favorite.

She couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness... You knew that the county lady came with bad intentions, but you still kept her here. Was it because of the person behind her?"

Murong Xuan did not hide it from her: "I checked, it was Prince Yao. Anle is a shallow person. Last night, she asked her maid to meet the favorite concubine of Zhao Fuyin."

Shen Xiyue was slightly surprised, but she felt that this was how it should be: "...I see."

As he was speaking, Maoping brought in the cooked wontons, which smelled delicious.

Murong Xuan changed the subject: "...Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

Shen Xiyue responded: "Okay."

Through the dense fog, Murong Xuan suddenly realized that he had spoken so many heartfelt words to her without realizing it.
