The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 113 Finally back
It is now the first quarter of the evening. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brings the officials from Jiangnan into the palace, followed by Guard Mu Qing. Xie San and Xie Si continue to hide in the dark to protect them.
Lu Xiaoxiao brought Baizhi and Chenlu back to Jingxiangyuan.
As soon as they learned that their master had returned home, Bai Zhu and Chen Wu hurriedly put down their needlework and rushed to the gate of the courtyard to wait. The entire Jingxiang Courtyard was lit with candles, illuminating the world.
Bai Zhu looked around nervously, feeling somewhat worried: "Master has been away from home for so long, I wonder if Master still remembers me..."
The four of them were supposed to serve the master, but now that Bai Zhi and Chen Lu have been following the master for such a long time, I'm afraid they have already become the master's confidants.
She and Chen Wu stayed behind to guard the huge Jingxiang Courtyard and could not see their master every day. Now that their master is back, they might be even more unfamiliar with him.
Over the past three months, Bai Zhu and Chen Wu have been together day and night. Chen Wu can naturally guess what Bai Zhu is thinking. Similarly, Chen Wu is also a little worried about his own situation.
Who among the maids in the prince's mansion doesn't want to be appreciated and valued by her master?
Only if they can stand firm beside their masters can they have a future and receive more rewards.
Chen Wu frowned slightly, sighed softly, and then tried to comfort Bai Shu: "Okay, the master is coming back soon. From now on, you and I should stay by the master's side and be diligent. I'm sure the master will not treat us badly."
Bai Zhu pursed his lips tightly, speechless for a moment.
Soon, with the light shining, several familiar figures appeared in front.
Two maids in charge of lighting walked slowly on both sides of the corridor, leaving the way in the middle. Leading the way was Lu Fengyi.
Bai Zhu and Chen Wu immediately looked at them with their eyes wide open.
Chen Wu said excitedly: "It's the master, the master is back!"
Although Bai Zhu didn't speak, the corners of her lips raised, revealing a smile.
The two of them hurriedly went up to him.
"master!"
"master!"
"Baizhu, morning mist!"
Lu Xiaoxiao still remembered the two maids. She thought they would have already gone to rest in the yard by this time. Unexpectedly, she saw them before she even returned to Jingxiang Courtyard.
The two of them became even more excited when they heard their master calling out their names. Bai Shu and Chen Wu glanced at each other quickly and bowed at the same time: "The servant Bai Shu greets the master and respectfully welcomes the master back to the mansion."
"The servant Chen Wu greets the master and respectfully welcomes the master back to the mansion."
Bai Zhi and Chen Lu, who were following behind Lu Xiaoxiao, were very happy to see the two of them.
They could finally feel clearly that after traveling all the way, they finally returned to the Prince's Mansion!
Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes and smiled, "Okay, let's go back to Jingxiangyuan first."
"Yes, master."
Baizhu and Chenwu responded at the same time.
After entering Jingxiang Courtyard, Lu Xiaoxiao asked the two maids who were in charge of lighting to go back.
Looking at all the familiar furnishings in the room, including the soft couch where she loved to curl up and read storybooks, and her favorite screen, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, "I'm finally back."
"I didn't expect it would take so long to go out."
It had been so long that when she came back and faced her own room, she felt a little unfamiliar.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat at the table, picked up the teapot and poured herself a glass of water. She took a sip before coming to her senses. Then she saw Bai Zhu come forward and said:
"Master has just returned. She must take a bath to relieve her fatigue. I will go to the kitchen to get some hot water."
Chen Wu thought for a moment, then said, "The master has been away from the mansion for many days. I wonder if the master would like to hear about the miscellaneous things that have happened in the mansion during this period of time?"
I heard that the master went out with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time, and Concubine Xiao and Zhang Liangyuan in the mansion did not have such treatment. There is no guarantee that the master will be deliberately harassed by Concubine Xiao and Zhang Liangyuan after returning home.
As the smartest servant around her master, she had to remind her master first.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao put down the teacup in her hand and nodded to Bai Zhu, "Bai Zhu, go to the kitchen and get some hot water first."
"Yes, master."
Bai Zhu left with brisk steps.
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Chen Wu, tell me about it."
Lu Xiaoxiao had just returned home and had not had time to check the system, so she might as well listen to Chen Wu talk about the latest situation in the mansion.
Chen Wu nodded, suppressed the joy in her heart, lowered her voice and told the story of the palace one by one: "After my son left the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Liangyuan suddenly fell ill for some reason. The palace doctor went to Mingzhu Courtyard to see her, and he only said that Zhang Liangyuan had caught a cold, and the depression in her heart had not been resolved, which led to the aggravation of her condition..."
"After that, the Empress learned about this and sent Doctor Xiao to come. Doctor Xiao prescribed medicine, but Zhang Liangyuan's cold still didn't fully recover."
So strange?
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Zhang Liangyuan fell ill just after she and His Highness left the mansion? And she was seriously ill? Even the mansion doctor and the imperial physician couldn't help?
Is there something weird about this?
She did not forget that Zhang Liangyuan and the Fourth Prince were in cahoots.
"General Weiwu sent people here several times, but because His Highness was not at home, the housekeeper kept blocking them and did not let anyone from General Weiwu's mansion in."
At this point, Chen Wu paused for a moment and said, "However, I once saw Cai'er, who served Zhang Liangyuan, sneak out of the small door at the back of the mansion."
"Ok?"
Lu Xiaoxiao sat up straight instantly and asked in confusion: "What is Cai'er doing outside?"
Chen Wu shook her head and said in a low voice: "I followed her at that time, but Cai'er walked too fast and I lost her for a moment."
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Forget it, she will look through the system later to see if she can find out something.
"Is there anything else?"
"Have."
Chen Wu secretly asked her sisters in the mansion to keep an eye on Zhang Liangyuan's affairs.
As for the other concubine Xiao, Chen Wu also spent a lot of effort to find out news about her from other maids.
Chen Wu said seriously, "My master, you may not know that during the time when my master was away from home, Concubine Xiao's maid Qing Cong often stayed near Jingxiang Courtyard. I wonder if she wanted to find out some news."
"Is there still this?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Could it be that Concubine Xiao wanted to do something to her?
Chen Wu nodded solemnly: "Master, we must be on guard against others. Concubine Xiao has been returning to the Xiao family more and more frequently in recent days. I remember that in the past, Concubine Xiao only went back once or twice a month."
"But now, before the master and His Highness return home, Concubine Xiao actually goes back to the Xiao family every day, with only Qingcong as her maid."
"I have been asking around for a long time, but have not heard any useful information. I wonder why Concubine Xiao returns to the Xiao Mansion so frequently."
"But, I know one more thing."
"Qing Cong, the maidservant beside Concubine Xiao, seems to be watched outside Yichun Tower by her brother all day long."
Chen Wu said the last sentence in a very low voice: "I suspect that Concubine Xiao is keeping an eye on the eldest prince."
Lu Xiaoxiao: ???
Wait, what is the relationship between Concubine Xiao and the eldest prince?!
-
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao was drowsy in the bathtub. She was the only one in the room.
Bai Zhu and Chen Wu were guarding outside the door.
As for Baizhi and Chenlu, Lu Xiaoxiao specifically asked them to go back to their rooms to rest, and there was no need for them to come and keep watch tonight.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Task 5. The progress of helping Crown Prince Xie Xi ascend the throne is . Now you are rewarded with points. You can unlock an extra surprise with points.]
[Host, please keep up the good work, the next task is still being unlocked]
A mechanical sound suddenly rang in her mind. When she heard the word "points", Lu Xiaoxiao was startled and woke up instantly.
She quickly immersed her consciousness in the system, and when she saw the 338 points in her points account, Lu Xiaoxiao almost screamed with excitement.
I didn’t expect this task to be so awesome. Not only do you get task points, but you can also unlock surprise points!
She is so lucky!
Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and asked with her consciousness: "Jiujiu, could it be that you deliberately wanted to give me points?"
Jiujiu, who was called out by the host, was stunned for a moment.
In the system, the glowing little ball said angrily: [As an upright system spirit, Jiujiu would never do such a thing! Please don't doubt your own strength, dear host, the 100 points are what you deserve! ]
That's a very beautiful thing to say.
She likes to listen.
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled so hard that dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Jiujiu, when will the next mission appear?"
"It would be even better if there were extra surprise points for every completed mission!"
Jiujiu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and sighed quietly, thinking that the dear host was still so easily fooled.
If it wasn't for the need to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get rid of the cold poison as soon as possible to avoid a catastrophe, it wouldn't have suddenly thought of paying out of its own pocket and giving away a hundred points for nothing!
hiss.
It hurts a bit.
Jiujiu was crying in her heart, but she looked strong on the surface: [Dear host, the next task will be released after the main system. Please wait patiently]
Hearing that there was no mission, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling disappointed. Her face fell and the smile on her face disappeared instantly: "Okay, then I'll wait a little longer."
[If the host is fine, there is no need to call Jiujiu out]
"...?"
Just as Lu Xiaoxiao was about to say something, he found that his consciousness was suddenly kicked out by the system.
Is Jiujiu feeling a little strange today?
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out.
The water in the tub grew colder.
Lu Xiaoxiao got up and dressed. After she had tidied, she asked Bai Zhu and Chen Wu to come in and carry the bathtub out.
Sure enough, after taking a bath, she felt much more comfortable, and the fatigue of recent days seemed to be swept away.
A good night's sleep.
-
The next day, early morning.
The news that Lu Fengyi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned home together last night spread throughout the mansion in an instant.
Concubine Xiao went to bed early at night, and Qingcong was responsible for keeping watch, but he did not wake her up because of the return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Now that he saw his master wake up, Qingcong told him the news.
The fingers that were selecting the hairpin paused slightly, Concubine Xiao turned her head and looked at Qing Cong in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Since Your Highness returned home last night, why didn't you wake me up?"
Just one word, no blame.
But Qingcong still knelt on the ground and apologized to her master: "My master, although His Highness returned to the mansion, He did not enter the mansion gate, and brought the guard Mu Qing into the palace. I thought that the master had not slept well recently, so I did not want to disturb the master."
Concubine Xiao frowned slightly and was speechless for a moment.
Qingcong has always been by her side, so she naturally knows Qingcong's loyalty to her. However, her current identity is still the Crown Prince's concubine. If she does not do enough on the surface, it will probably lead to rumors.
"Don't do this next time."
Concubine Xiao reminded her: "Now we are in the Prince's Mansion, everything is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whether His Royal Highness enters the mansion or not, as long as His Royal Highness appears at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, we should go out to greet His Royal Highness."
Qingcong lowered her head and quickly responded, "Master, you are right. I will remember this."
Concubine Xiao hummed and said, "Stand up. No need to kneel. Continue to comb my hair."
"Yes, master."
Qingcong stood up, picked up the comb again, and combed her master's hair carefully.
After a while, Qingcong finally finished dressing up her master.
Qingcong didn't understand why His Highness didn't come to Qingshuyuan more often. The mistress was so beautiful and gentle, but His Highness only took Lu Fengyi with him on a long journey?
Qingcong sighed in her heart.
"Qingcong, Your Highness did not enter the palace yesterday, so has he returned this morning?"
Concubine Xiao asked, "Has Lu Fengyi returned to Jingxiang Courtyard?"
Hearing this, Qingcong came back to his senses immediately and answered, "My Lord, His Highness has not returned yet. Lu Fengyi returned to Jingxiang Courtyard yesterday."
"Ah."
After waiting for so long, Lu Fengyi finally came back.
Concubine Xiao wanted to go to Jingxiangyuan to meet Lu Fengyi.
But the moment she stood up, Concubine Xiao suddenly thought of Zhang Liangyuan in Mingzhu Courtyard, "By the way, how is Zhang Liangyuan's condition?"
Qingcong: "To this day, Zhang Liangyuan is still bedridden and unable to get up."
Concubine Xiao: "Go and ask the court doctor to come to Mingzhu Courtyard."
"Also, send someone to Jingxiangyuan to tell them that I want Lu Fengyi to visit the patient at Mingzhuyuan."
After these words were spoken, Qingcong looked at his master in surprise.
Why did the master let Lu Fengyi meet Zhang Liangyuan?
Sensing Qingcong's doubts, Concubine Xiao did not explain, but just raised her hand and said to her: "Go."
Qingcong pursed her lips and turned away.
Concubine Xiao stood where she was, and when she could no longer see Qingcong's back, she called in another maid, Hong Xing.
Hong Xing was originally a maid in the Prince's Mansion, sent by the housekeeper, and had rarely received the attention of Concubine Xiao.
After entering, Hong Xing bowed and saluted: "I wonder what the master wants me to do?"
"Come with me to Mingzhuyuan."
After saying this, Concubine Xiao walked forward first.
Hong Xing replied yes and hurriedly followed.
At the same time, the master in Jingxiang Courtyard was still immersed in his sleep.
Qingcong stood obediently in the yard, waiting for Lu Fengyi's maid to wake her up.
Baizhi and Chenlu entered the room together.
Seeing that their master was still sleeping, the two of them couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Concubine Xiao specially sent someone to deliver the message. Qingcong represented Concubine Xiao, so Baizhi and Chenlu did not dare to neglect it and hurried forward to wake up their master.
Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, still a little confused.
She opened her round almond-shaped eyes and looked at Bai Zhi and Chen Lu in confusion: "What did the Concubine ask me to do in Mingzhu Courtyard?"
