Chapter 510 The Vase of Cannon Fodder in the Machiavellian Story (23)
"The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. I know you were worried about your dowry and didn't have dinner, so I came to see you."
As he spoke, he put a hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder.
In the quiet room, the candlelight was dim. Chu Yunxuan looked down at Jiang Lai. He thought he had to be patient, but when he took a closer look, he felt that Jiang Lai in front of him was very plump and attractive.
There was no more flesh on her body, no more, no less, her round face, her facial features were covered with a layer of mist, her almond-shaped eyes and red lips were soft, and the candlelight danced in her eyes like a hook that could pour out strands of strands. For a moment, It made Chu Yunxuan's mouth dry.
"You have lost a lot of weight recently."
Jiang Lai looked in the mirror, curled his lips and smiled.
"His Highness finally discovered it."
"It's my fault today. I will help you find your dowry. You and I have been married for so long. When have I ever wronged you?
Recently, many people in the DPRK are watching and waiting for me to make a mistake. Jiang Lai, put the dowry aside first and wait until I have settled the affairs in the DPRK before settling the matter, okay? ”
The man's attitude was soft and his eyes were friendly. If the original owner was still sitting here, he would have been coaxed out of his mind.
Jiang Lai sighed.
"Your Highness does not know that there is a red coral in my dowry. It is an heirloom of my mother's family. It is priceless and a royal gift from the late emperor. If it is really lost, it will definitely be a crime of losing one's head. Then you will be implicated.
That's why I said that we must find all the dowry as soon as possible. Those thieves will definitely not dare to touch these royal gifts. We must stop them before they transport these things away. ”
Chu Yunxuan's hands froze.
He did see a rare red coral inside, weighing nearly a hundred kilograms. It was indeed a rare treasure in the world, but he did not expect that this thing turned out to be a gift from the emperor.
At that time, he just lamented that the old Taishi had plundered so many treasures behind his back, and then ordered people to dismantle the corals and break them up to give favors.
Now that he knows it, where can he go to find an identical red coral?
Jiang Lai saw that he was silent, with a smile in his eyes, and leaned back slightly, creating the appearance that the two of them were close to each other.
At this time, there was indeed a knock on the door outside.
Zhao Ziyan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Princess, the daughter of the people has brought you medicine."
As soon as he heard this voice, Chu Yunxuan subconsciously pushed Jiang Lai's shoulder away and took a step back. When Zhao Ziyan pushed the door in, there was an almost invisible distance between him and Jiang Lai.
Zhao Ziyan looked at it, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
She put the medicine bowl down and before turning to leave, she raised her eyes to look at Chu Yunxuan, her eyes clearly filled with tears.
Chu Yunxuan stayed still when he saw this, but he was afraid that Jiang Lai would be suspicious, so he stayed and explained a few words.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business. You go to bed first and I will come back to you tomorrow night."
"Yeah."
Jiang Lai's obedient appearance stayed in Chu Yunxuan's eyes.
When they caught up with Zhao Ziyan again, the two of them happened to be standing next to the rockery. One chased and the other ran, one shouted and the other cried. In the end, the two of them hugged each other and went into the rockery cave.
"Eh... tsk tsk tsk, how come we can still kiss each other even though we are arguing!"
Jiang Lai slowly rubbed his shoulders and yawned.
"You continue to watch the show, I'll go to bed first."
"What else is there to do... Oh! I saw it, what a coincidence!"
The few women in the backyard who gathered together to drink tea, admire the moon and chat when they had nothing to do happened to pass by the rockery.
It just so happens that the moonlight is bright tonight, and the figure in the fake cave is elongated, and you can see it clearly from a distance.
The woman in the backyard looked familiar to Chu Yunxuan's figure and recognized it immediately.
Looking at the woman again, the skinny figure is definitely not Jiang Lai. Looking around, the other ladies are also present. Who is the one being hugged and kissed by Chu Yunxuan?
Several women were angry and suspicious, so they simply hid behind the pavilion and waited.
When they saw Zhao Ziyan walking out hand in hand with Chu Yunxuan, the women exploded.
"What a little bitch!! He actually hooked up with His Highness!"
"Didn't His Highness say that he was devoted to the Crown Princess? Why are you here doing this kind of thing with a nameless woman now?"
Chun Niang had already rebelled and said directly when she heard this.
"Do you really think His Highness likes the princess? This woman and the princess are completely different people!"
Yes, one is skinny and the other is plump. No matter how rich the taste is, you won't be able to directly cross these well-proportioned ones and only look for extremes, right?
And looking at the way the prince and concubine looks depressed and unhappy every day, she doesn't look like a woman who is pampered every day.
"Oh my god, no way...this woman is what His Highness really likes, right? It seems like she was in the palace before the princess got married!"
Chun Niang continued to stir things up.
"I can't say for sure. The prince's concubine is just a cover. His Highness is using the name of doting on the prince's concubine, but he is actually sneaking into this woman's house behind his back!
At first glance, it seemed that this woman had a low status and could not be put on the stage, and she was not willing to just be a wife, so she simply stayed in the palace as a medical woman and could take care of the princess's body in her own hands in the name of recuperating her body. ! ”
It makes sense, it makes sense!
"And in this way, we can also draw our attention to the prince and concubine. Then shouldn't this woman live a good life every day?"
Chun Niang's mission was completed, and she became angry as she spoke.
This is what the princess taught her.
At first she was wondering why she said these words, but now she understood. It turned out that the princess had been having a hard time this year and was completely controlled by that bitch!
Several women suddenly realized that they were being treated like cats and dogs. Every time they heard the medical woman say that she only took care of the princess's health, she was also jealous that His Highness was too partial, so she specially found a medical woman to take care of Jiang Lai.
Now it seems that this bitch deliberately put Jiang Lai in front of her as a target!
Among the women present, none of them had some powerful family members and were connected to the forces behind Chu Yunxuan.
They also know their role and live with confidence in this house.
Although he is not as good as Jiang Lai, at least he has food and drink, and his life is no worse than at his parents' house.
But now that they know that the one they really can't compare to is a nameless, lowly medical woman, how can they endure it?
Early the next morning, Jiang Lai woke up and heard Little Pudding excitedly broadcasting in his ears.
"It's a good show, Zhao Ziyan is going to suffer."
"Well, what did those women do?"
"Chu Yunxuan has been summoned to the palace. No one is protecting Zhao Ziyan now. The ladies in the backyard are showing off their magic powers."
The excitement is no less than that of a large-scale TV series.
Jiang Lai was not in a hurry to watch the excitement. He got up and washed up, then walked around the yard on an empty stomach. The speed was not fast, but it was enough to provide some exercise. (End of chapter)
