The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

Gu Huai carried Lin Qianqian away.

Liu Ye knelt in front of Cheng Jiayao, kowtowed several times, and humbly put her face to the ground.

"Madam, please, please say a few good words to the prince, please don't kick me out of the house! I will accept being beaten, I don't want to be kicked out of the house!"

"How will I live if I am kicked out of the house? Madam Crown Prince!"

Cheng Jiayao observed that there was no one around the lake before she started talking to Liu Ye.

She said coldly: "You didn't tell me that the reason why Aunt Lin and the prince quarreled was because they left Wanxia in the mansion? Although this news is completely inconsistent with what I imagined, you didn't tell me such important news."

Every piece of information is crucial. Who would have thought that Liu Ye would do such a thing.

Cheng Jiayao couldn't accept it.

Er Yue's expression was even more ferocious than Cheng Jiayao's. "You didn't even tell the Crown Prince's wife such important news, and you still want to come and serve the Crown Prince's wife? You are dreaming!"

Liu Ye kowtowed again quickly, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Madam, I didn't mean to hide anything, I just felt that this matter was unimportant. The key point is that the prince and Aunt Lin are not getting along, the relationship between the two is indeed not good, and they haven't been in touch for such a long time."

Cheng Jiayao was speechless.

She looked up at the sky above her head and placed her palms on her chest. After a long time, she calmed down the urge to hit someone.

Er Yue spoke for Cheng Jiayao, "Reporting the news is of course to report it in full, I didn't expect you to conceal the news. You are so stupid, it's a good thing that the prince's wife didn't ask you to be by her side, otherwise I really don't know what stupid thing you would do."

Liu Ye was struck by lightning. She looked at Er Yue and asked softly, "Sister Er Yue, you, you... Sister Er Yue spoke to me so gently at the beginning. I remembered every word you taught me. But now, after hearing the scolding, I only feel the pain on my face."

"No matter if I have done something stupid or not, Madam, please save me. I really cannot be kicked out of the mansion. If I am kicked out of the mansion, how can I survive?"

Liu Ye knelt and crawled to Cheng Jiayao, and wanted to raise her head to pull her sleeve to beg, but Cheng Jiayao pulled her sleeve away.

Cheng Jiayao had a cold expression, standing like an emotionless statue, "It's not that I won't help you."

"What you did was to frame the master. Besides, Aunt Lin is the prince's favorite concubine. The prince has been very merciful in dealing with you and Wanxia like this."

"And this is what the prince said, what can I do?"

Liu Ye's heart was dead.

She kowtowed solemnly to Cheng Jiayao, a forced smile on her face, "I understand, Madam Crown Prince."

"Thank you, Madam, for what you have done for me. I remember it clearly. No matter in this or the next life, I will repay you by working like a slave. I will be yours in life and your ghost in death."

……

Xiaoxiangyuan

Gu Huai bent down, gently placed Lin Qianqian on the bed, and quickly called Taozhi and the others to prepare hot water.

He personally took off her soaking wet coat that stuck to her body, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and stroked her wet hair on the side of her face, "Qianqian, take a hot bath, it will be fine after your body warms up."

"I have asked someone to call the doctor. Do you need me to prescribe some medicine for you?"

"You fell into the water, so you must have caught a cold. You need some ginger soup to get rid of the cold. The kitchen is already making it."

Lin Qianqian was wrapped in a thick quilt and said to Gu Huai, "I don't think you'll catch a cold and get sick, right?"

Gu Huai said, "That's something that a doctor has to see for sure."

Taozhi helped Lin Qianqian soak in a bathtub filled with hot water and wipe off the dirt and algae on her skin brought up from the lake.

The peach branches scattered a lot of fragrant petals into the bathtub, a red patch floating on the water.

Use soapberry to make bubbles on Lin Qianqian's long black hair, and rub it until it is clean.

The lake water has a smell.

On ordinary days, there is a lot of dust falling into the water, and the lake water is dark green all year round.

The fallen leaves and twigs on the shore fell into the lake, and many of them got into Lin Qianqian's hair.

Taozhi picked out these "little things" little by little with her hands.

"Thank you Taozhi, thank you for standing up and speaking for me today."

Lin Qianqian said to Taozhi seriously.

Taozhi lowered her eyes slightly and wiped her beautiful back silently with a towel, "Auntie, I just said what I wanted to say."

Actually it's guilt.

Lots and lots of guilt.

Today, she saw the Crown Prince's wife punish Liu Ye. On the way back, she kept repeating in her head what Cheng Jiayao and Gu Huai had said to scold Liu Ye, "How could a little girl like you do such a thing as to frame your master?" "You are a traitor!"

She was very afraid that what she had done would be discovered by Lin Qianqian.

Since the concubine is so favored by the prince, he knows that he will not forgive her.

However, she inadvertently received the favor of the Crown Prince's wife, which was a handle.

Hey.

After changing into a clean set of tight-fitting silk pajamas, Lin Qianqian sat cross-legged on the bed.

Gu Huai held the bowl of steaming ginger soup, blew on it, and patiently fed it to Lin Qianqian one spoonful at a time.

Seeing that her face had turned rosy and her spirit had returned, he smiled at her and said, "Qianqian, I'm glad you're okay."

"If anything happens to you, I won't live either."

Lin Qianqian asked the angry young man in confusion, "Why don't you live anymore, Master?"

"You live your life, and I live mine. Everyone's life is their own. The two lives are unrelated. How can you just stop living for me? People should live for themselves."

Gu Huai pouted and stuffed the empty bowl in his hand into Taozhi's arms aggrievedly, "Anyway, seeing you half dead, my heart feels like there's a big hole in it."

"feeling bad."

Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand and pressed it against his heart.

Through his clothes, I could feel his steady, weak heartbeat.

A strange feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.

Lin Qianqian was stunned. Why did she feel like this boy was flirting with her?

Later, the doctor came with a medicine box and took Lin Qianqian's pulse. He said she had caught a cold and that she should eat more sweat-inducing food, and recommended a Chinese medicine diet recipe to her.

Gu Huai held Lin Qianqian in his arms and lay in the quilt, burying his face in the crook of her neck and sniffing, "There's still a smell."

"It smells bad from the lake."

Gu Huai has a very sensitive nose.

He can smell any irrelevant smell and is particularly sensitive to smells.

Lin Qianqian lowered her head and sniffed her body, then put her arm under her nose and she also smelled it, "This lake is full of green aquatic plants, it would be strange if it didn't stink."

It's very faint, but you can still smell it.

She pushed Gu Huai and said, "You'd better stay away from me. Don't hold me while sleeping, or I'll suffocate you."

"No."

"I don't dislike you." Gu Huai hugged Lin Qianqian tightly, lowered his head and kissed her soft and rosy lips, and locked her eyes seriously: "Qianqian, I miss you."

"Want it so so much."

"How can you be so cruel? Have you really not seen me these days? I was waiting for you to come and comfort me."

Lin Qianqian smiled and poked his face with her finger, "So you want me to coax you?"

Gu Huai nodded, "Of course, you made me angry, so of course you have to comfort me."

Seeing him pouting and looking aggrieved, and leaning into her arms again, it was clear that he treated herself like a little baby.

Lin Qianqian sighed and deliberately hugged him tighter, "Okay, if you don't mind, I'll suffocate you to death."

"Okay! Hahahaha" Gu Huai laughed happily.

"I know the lake water is smelly, but you are fragrant. You are just polluted by the lake water."

"I will find you some fine spices tomorrow. Use them to fumigate your body and you will smell good again."

"Qianqian, I miss you."

Gu Huai looked at her face again and said.

"Ah."

She said "hmm" lightly.

Gu Huai snorted, turned his back in anger, and his voice was full of naked complaints, "You ignore me and don't care about me. Do you still regard me as your man? Is this how you treat me?"

Lin Qianqian, "How do you want me to deal with you?"

Gu Huai happily turned over and faced her, "Kiss me, hug me, touch me..."

"You can touch anywhere you want, don't you want to touch me?"

"There is a place where I miss you very much."

One of Lin Qianqian's hands was grabbed and pushed down by someone.

She raised her other hand over his ribs and stroked his soft belly. The smooth skin was soft and fluffy, and it felt as comfortable as touching a kitten's belly.

Gu Huai is also thin.

The thinness of a young man.

There is a thin layer of muscle in the abdomen that is attached to the torso, with faint lines showing through. There are no so-called six-pack abs, and the body is not that strong.

How can one quench your thirst?

Gu Huai pressed on top of her and kissed her passionately, leaving Lin Qianqian breathless.

The gauze curtains that were hanging a short while later swayed, the bed creaked, and bone-chilling moans floated out.

Taozhi, who was sleeping in the far east room, pulled up the quilt to cover herself. She heard a vague voice and thought to herself: Look, the prince and Aunt Lin are together again.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Lin is favored, and nothing bad can happen to her.

On weekdays, the maids and servants in the mansion dared not neglect her, and when they saw her, they had to respectfully call her Sister Tao. The mansion also sent the best Suzhou embroidery and silk to Xiaoxiang Garden.

Aunt Lin didn't like to give out silver as a reward. But she gave away her beautiful clothes and fabrics to her servants when she didn't like them anymore. Many of them were unused. She said she didn't like to take up space in the cupboard, and she called it "letting go".

"Aunt, Liu Ye is dead!"

The next morning, Taozhi came to report, and Lin Qianqian was stunned.

She put down the half-finished eyebrow pencil in her hand and calmly asked Taozhi, "Is she dead?"

Taozhi said with lingering fear, "She was dragged out by the housekeeper yesterday and beaten with forty sticks. This morning, Wu Ma from the courtyard went to see if she had left. She found that her bag was not packed and she was not there, so she looked for her everywhere."

"I found that Liu Ye had hanged herself on the corridor of Ziyunxuan courtyard, with her long tongue hanging out, just like a ghost."

"The Crown Prince's wife fainted immediately out of fright, and the mistress has gone over to offer her condolences."

……

Ziyunxuan

Cheng Jiayao lay on the exquisite and luxurious bed and opened her eyes with great effort, but there were still blurry images in front of her.

She seemed to see Liu Ye dying again.

A pair of embroidered shoes hung straight in the air, long hair was scattered over her face, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth.

The way she died was so horrible.

She never imagined that Liu Ye would be hanged in her yard.

Cheng Jiayao called Sanyue over and weakly raised a hand to order, "Go tell Xiaoxiangyuan that she doesn't need to come to pay respects today. Don't let her laugh at me."

"Yes."

Er Yue came over, picked up the handsome Ruijin beast incense burner and lit a stick of calming incense, "Miss, I think Liu Ye was hanged in our yard. It must be Aunt Lin's idea."

"She is from Xiaoxiang Garden, but she chose to come to our courtyard to seek death. It's so unlucky! And you were scared to death by her when you saw her. This Liu Ye deserves to die! Why didn't she hang herself in Xiaoxiang Garden?"

"Miss, you are just too easy to talk to. You have been bullied by a little concubine time and time again."

"This Aunt Lin is a fox spirit in disguise, she is very coquettish. She fell into the water yesterday, and dragged the prince to do it at night. She came from a brothel, so she is really not an ordinary person!"

"You said, the prince just likes this one?"

"I want to scratch her face. If she's so short of men, I should beat her with a stick! Let's see if she can still be coquettish!"

Cheng Jiayao reached out and touched her cold forehead, sighing and frowning, "Mrs. Lin has been flirting with the Master for a long time."

"And she holds a higher position in the prince's heart than I do."

Er Yue's chest heaved with anger. "Miss, can you just watch her continue to be favored? This will not do you any good. Sooner or later, she will climb over your head."

"You, the wife of a prince, would be ridiculed if you asked a concubine to rule over you."

February didn't care and vented all the anger that had been accumulating in these days.

The calmer the young lady was, the less she did. The more she felt wronged for her, the more she pitied her, and the more she hated Lin Qianqian.

Because of Lin Qianqian, the prince neglected their young lady.

I haven't consummated my marriage with her yet.

It was because of Lin Qianqian that her young lady had fallen into this state.

The last time she went out, she met a young lady from an official family who she didn't get along with. Because of this incident, she came to mock her for not being favored by her husband, saying that he would rather favor a prostitute in a brothel than touch her.

How could February not feel wronged and angry for her young lady?

Who would have thought that she could be so calm? This only made her angrier and angrier, and she disliked Lin Qianqian even more.

Er Yue took out the cloth from the water, wrung it dry and put it back on Cheng Jiayao's forehead. She touched her face distressedly and said, "Miss, Liu Ye definitely did this on purpose."

"You said she wanted to commit suicide, but she chose to do it in our yard. From now on, there will be one more hanged ghost in this yard..."

Er Yue lowered her head and wiped her tears, "I feel scared when I think about it. The maidservant beside Aunt Lin came to us to bring bad luck... I don't dare to sleep at night..."

"do not talk."

Cheng Jiayao closed her eyes in frustration.

She didn't understand what ghosts and gods were.
