Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

The spring sunshine was just right, and the flowers of the old locust tree in the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion fell like snow, falling bit by bit to the window of the main house.

The little maid Haitang stood carefully outside the door of the main room, holding a set of toiletries.

Last night she won the game with Pomegranate and had a good sleep, so she stood quite relaxed at this time.

She stood for a while, looking at the increasingly hot sun, and suppressed the doubts that gradually rose in her heart: Normally at this hour, the prince would wake up and ask for water, why is it so late today?

In the room, Shen Lankang woke up from his deep sleep and wondered why Xu Jiao was not sleeping soundly in his arms like before.

He closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to fish out of habit, and was so surprised that he opened his eyes instantly.

Xu Jiao's body, which used to be as warm and fragrant as soft jade, was now cold and stiff, and her jade-like face was extremely pale.

Shen Lankang's pupils were trembling, and he tremblingly put his hand under Xu Jiao's nose. When he found that Xu Jiao was not breathing, he jumped up in panic and shouted: "Come here, come quickly!"

Begonia outside the house heard the prince calling for someone, and quickly picked up the basin and opened the door carefully: "Your Majesty, the water is here..."

Looking up, he saw Shen Lankang standing in the middle of the ground with his bare feet and the quilt wrapped around him, looking at him with fear.

Seeing Shen Lankang's distraught appearance, Haitang was startled and looked at the bed erratically.

Xu Jiao was lying stiffly on the couch, her naked body motionless, and there were dots of blue and purple in the white snow.

Haitang was so frightened by the scene on the bed that she dropped the basin she was washing in her hand to the ground: "Ah!"

Haitang's sharp scream sounded, and Shen Lankang seemed to wake up, and he also said "ah".

The guards in the palace gathered around and stood at the door. They did not dare to enter the prince's bedroom without instructions.

The leader of the guards asked nervously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Shen Lankang looked at Xu Jiao, who was silent on the bed, and then at Haitang, who was kneeling on the ground in the warm water, shaking like chaff.

He stabilized his mind and said loudly to the guard: "I have nothing to do, so you can do whatever you need to do."

Many of the guards in the mansion were sent by Third Brother. If they knew about it, it would be equivalent to Third Brother knowing about it.

Thinking of the contemptuous look in his brother's eyes when he looked at him, Shen Lankang became furious; he kicked Haitang: "Quickly go and ask Butler Qian to come!"

Qian Dong was originally a eunuch in the palace. The young master he served offended a noble concubine in the palace and was beaten to death.

He was originally going to be sent to the Criminal Punishment Division for punishment, but Concubine Yu, who had just gained favor, rescued him and took him away.

Qian Dong became the chief eunuch of Concubine Yu's palace, which he did for more than twenty years.

Qian Dong had no children in his life. After Concubine Yu gave birth to Shen Lande and Shen Lankang, Qian Dong saw them growing up day by day. Now he looks at the two brothers as if he were his own children.

Before her death, Concubine Yu let Qian Dong out of the palace and told Qian Dong to protect her worried little son. Now that this happened, Shen Lankang's first thought was Qian Dong.

Haitang was kicked to the ground by Shen Lankang. She regained her composure and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, I will go and ask Butler Qian to come now!"

After answering, he ran out rolling and crawling.

Shen Lankang did not dare to face Xu Jiao's body directly. He walked around the room twice naked and holding the brocade quilt. Finally, he found his obscene pants in the corner and hurriedly put them on.

After a while, Qian Dong walked in with an anxious look: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

The housekeeper Qian Dong knew something was wrong, but he didn't understand what was going on. Along the way, he even forgot to call the prince.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Lankang's naked upper body, wearing only wrinkled trousers on his lower body, and he was stepping on the brocade quilt with his bare feet.

Shen Lankang looked relieved as if he had found a savior. He eagerly grabbed Qian Dong's arm: "Uncle Dong, Xu Jiao is dead. She was dead when I woke up."

Qian Dong was startled. He glanced sideways at Xu Jiao's body lying on the bed, and then at Shen Lankang, who looked like a child who had made a mistake, leaning against him.

Although Shen Lankang likes to mess around, he has never killed anyone. At this time, he has no master.

Brothers Shen Lande and Shen Lankang are five years apart in age, and their temperaments are also very different.

Qian Dong has seen since childhood that Shen Lande has a stable temperament and is well-established. Now that he is following the prince, he can stand alone; Shen Lankang has been spoiled by Concubine Yu since he was a child. Not to mention his growth, he is still a dog who can't hold two children in his belly. The master of two sesame oils.

When he was in the palace, although Shen Lankang was a promiscuous person, he was also known for his simplicity and filial piety. When he saw his mother depressed, he would often give her some gadgets to amuse her.

After Concubine Yu left, Shen Lankang felt sad and drank alone and drunk all day long. In the end, he allowed himself to wander among the flowers and became a famous second-generation prince in the capital.

Qian Dong watched Shen Lankang learn the language from Yaya and was now half a head taller than him. Thinking about the scenes from the palace to the outside, he finally softened his heart.

Shen Lankang didn't dare to tell Shen Lande about today's matter, so he had no choice but to take action with his old bones.

Qian Dong patted Shen Lankang's hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, go over and put on your shoes."

Shen Lankang timidly said: "Uncle Dong, she was considerate and gentle with me last night, but today she has become a cold corpse."

Qian Dong nodded, led Shen Lankang to put on his shoes, and then picked up the brocade quilt on the ground to cover Xu Jiao's body.

After doing all this, Qian Dong opened the door and shouted: "Begonia, what time is it? I haven't come to wash your prince yet. It's getting more and more unruly."

Haitang stepped forward in fear and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Uncle Dong."

With that said, he picked up the washbasin that fell on the ground and filled it with warm water again.

She forced herself to remain calm and tremblingly did what she had done thousands of times. Her eyes were dull and rigid, and she did not dare to look anywhere other than Shen Lankang.

After tidying up Shen Lankang, who was also dull and rigid, Haitang stepped aside with lowered eyes.

Qian Dong sat on the Eight Immortals Chair and had a panoramic view of the two people's expressions. He said calmly: "Begonia, how many years have you been here?"

Haitang shed tears: "Back to Uncle Dong, this slave was sold into the mansion by her parents when she was seven years old. She signed a death contract. It has been six years now."

Qian Dong smiled and said: "That counts as an old man in this mansion. What have you seen today?"

Haitang knelt on the ground with a plop, bursting into tears: "Today is the same as usual, I don't see any difference."

After hearing this, Shen Lankang sat on the Eight Immortals Chair like Qian Dong and murmured: "Yes, yes, yes, today is very normal, nothing different."

Qian Dong looked at Haitang and then at Shen Lankang. Seeing the two people's lost looks, Qian Dong couldn't help but sigh: "It's so pitiful."

He said to Haitang: "Yesterday, Miss Xu Jiao served the prince to recover from his illness. At this time, he can no longer get out of bed and needs to rest in bed."

When Haitang heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. She didn't dare to raise her head, so she lowered her head in response.

Qian Dong looked at Haitang, who still understood her. He nodded and said, "Go ahead, do whatever you have to do, as usual."

Haitang felt relieved and went out holding the basin handkerchief.

Shen Lankang was already a little shaken at this time. He looked at Qian Dong uneasily: "Uncle Dong, what about Xu Jiao?"

Qian Dong looked at Shen Lankang's face as white as paper and stood up: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, just go to the front yard with the old slave to rest."

After saying that, he led Shen Lankang to the front yard.

Not long after, all the servants in the mansion knew that Xu Jiao, the new entrant, had recovered from her illness and was no longer in good condition. The princes all moved to the front yard in separate rooms.
