With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 256 Zhao Hongfei's Discovery



Chapter 256 Zhao Hongfei's Discovery

"Princess Zhao Hong?"

Qian Qian remembered that this was the teacher she had found for Yun Shu.

He raised his hand, "Let her come over."

Zhao Hongfei ran towards Qian Qian in three or two steps and knelt heavily in front of her with a plop.

Before he could say anything, he saw Gao Jie dozing off on his horse.

She covered her lips, tears welled up in her eyes and she kowtowed to Qian Qian with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess, for saving my son."

"Your son?"

Qian Qian was surprised, "Are you Xue Xiang?"

Zhao Hongfei raised her head and looked at Qian Qian with helplessness in her eyes.

Qian Qian sighed softly, "Come in."

The system sighed, [No wonder I can't eat Xuexiang's melon, it turns out she is Zhao Hongfei. ]

[Princess, I still can’t eat Concubine Zhao Hong’s melon. ]

[It’s okay,] Qian Qian said, [She actually left Ah Man, she must have discovered something.]

【I'll ask later. 】

【However,】 Qian Qian glanced at Zhao Hongfei again, 【She used to be so high-spirited.】

[Now, although I am only in my thirties, I look like I am in my forties.]

Today, Concubine Zhao Hong no longer has any trace of the heroic spirit of a female teacher.

She was extremely thin, with sunken cheeks and purple lips.

His eyes were hollow and lifeless, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he was terminally ill.

Qian Qian really couldn't equate the person in front of him with the Zhao Hongfei he first met.

She ordered Lin Yin to help Zhao Hongfei wash and change her clothes, and asked Ouyang Nanxin to take her pulse.

A moment later, Lin Yin came over in a hurry. "Princess," she frowned deeply, "Master Zhao, Master Zhao is covered in wounds."

"You're covered in wounds?"

Lin Yin nodded heavily, "Yes, it should be caused by being beaten for a long time."

Qian Qian frowned and took out a bottle of red fruit juice that had been diluted many times.

"Give it to her."

"Yes."

After Lin Yin left, Qian Qian asked, "Tongzi, what's going on?"

[Alas,] the system sighed, [I, I really can’t eat her melon.]

Money money...

[It's okay. I'll ask her in person later.]

He ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal quickly. When the meal was ready, Zhao Hongfei came with Gao Jie.

Zhao Hongfei brought Gao Jie to greet Qian Qian and Da Hua and kowtowed. Qian Qian felt a sore nose and asked them to stand up.

"Eat first."

"Yes."

Concubine Zhao Hong sat at the bottom with her son and ate elegantly.

Qian Qian could tell from the way she kept her back straight that Concubine Zhao Hong had not lost her character.

After dinner, Qianqian asked someone to serve tea.

There were no servants in the flower hall except Qian Qian Dahua and Zhao Hongfei and her son.

Concubine Zhao Hong held Gao Jie's hand and said, "Jie'er, quickly thank Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness the Princess. If it weren't for them saving you today, mother, mother,

"Auntie, mother, don't cry."

Gao Jie stretched out his little hands to wipe away his mother's tears, and kowtowed to Dahua and Qianqian.

Qian Qian chuckled, "Jie'er, go down and rest first. Let's talk to your mother and then let her go back to accompany you, okay?"

"Yes."

Gao Jie responded respectfully, looked at his mother again, and turned to leave the hall.

Looking at her son's back as he took small steps, Zhao Hongfei felt a sore nose.

After calming down, she said softly, "Four years ago, I and Ah Man returned to Southern Qi."

"In the first month, everything was normal for Ah Man."

"She is just a little cold. I teach her to read and I also want to teach her some principles of dealing with people."

"But she was disgusted by my way of doing things, so I didn't dare to say anything more."

"I remember the first Mid-Autumn Festival when we arrived in Southern Qi, the night of the full moon."

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because I thought of Yunshu, so I sneaked into Ah Man's yard to see the child."

"Who would have thought," Zhao Hongfei said with horror, and hurriedly drank a sip of tea, "Who would have thought that I would actually see Ah Man standing in the yard."

"Her eyes were rolled back, and she was looking up and talking to herself."

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "My dear, I heard Ah Man ask how long she will stay on the ranch."

"After a while, he asked again when he could kill the traitor Yun Shu."

"Then he asked, when can you arrive?"

"I was terrified when I saw Yun Shu's appearance at that time, and I fled from the Tianshi Mansion overnight."

"At that time, the woman was unfamiliar with Southern Qi, and she fled without bringing anything with her until she fainted on the road."

"Yes, it was Gao Sheng who saved me," Zhao Hongfei said sadly, "I simply became his concubine and hid in the backyard of the Qingshan City Lord's Mansion."

Zhao Hongfei's eyes were filled with sadness. If she had known earlier, the wealthy families would use ruthless methods to deal with women.

If I had known that in this world, one woman would trample another woman into the mud.

Then she would rather go back to Tianshi Mansion and face Ah Man directly...

Zhao Hongfei closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Unable to suppress the grievances she had suffered over the years any longer, she began to sob.

Dahua took Qianqian's hand, and the two of them quietly left the flower hall.

He turned around and closed the door of the flower hall, leaving Concubine Zhao Hong to vent her anger.

After a long time, Concubine Zhao Hong walked out of the flower hall with red eyes.

Then they saw the princess and the county lady sitting on the steps outside the flower hall, snuggling up to each other and dozing off.

Zhao Hongfei apologized but still knelt down in front of Qian Qian.

"Princess, please, please send someone to the City Lord's Mansion to rescue Jie'er's wet nurse and her family."

"Although it was his wet nurse who threw Jie'er away, Madam Gao threatened her with her family's lives, so she couldn't resist."

"If it weren't for her tonight, I wouldn't have been able to escape from the City Lord's Mansion, let alone see Jie'er and the princess."

Qian Qian nodded and yawned, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone."

She paused and said, "Don't think about anything else. Just stay in this villa and spend time with your son."

"Here," Qian Qian covered her lips, "it's very safe."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

After returning to the dormitory, Qian Qian washed up and went to bed. [Tongzi, who do you think Ah Man was talking to on that full moon night?]

System analysis, [Princess, Ah Man said all those questions that night. ]

[Look, Ah Man asked her how long she would stay at the ranch. ]

[Also asked, when can the traitor Yun Shu be killed? ]

[Ask again, when will you arrive? ]

Qian Qian remained silent.

After a long time, [ranch, Yunshu, traitor, when to kill. ]

She took a deep breath, [You, come...]

[Tongzi, isn't Ah Man a person? ]

[She, she has other... tribe members? ]

The system was worried. [That's what it sounds like. ]

[And now we can be absolutely sure of the princess. ]

[Yunshu, is on our side.]

【Yun Shu will not betray you. 】

Qian Qian chuckled, [Of course, that's my lovely little Yun Shu.]

[Also,] Qian Qian turned over, [We can also be sure that Ah Man alone cannot kill Yun Shu.]

[So, Yunshu must still be there. She is at least safe now.]

[Yes,] the system confirmed, [Princess, although we still don’t know who “you” are, at least Yun Shu has a chance to come back.]

【Um. 】

Qianqian nodded heavily and his consciousness sank into the space.

She watched the flowers that she had plucked out begin to sprout buds again.

[Yunshu,] she said sincerely, [Yunshu, Qianqian misses you so much.]

【When will you see me again? 】

[Yun Shu, Yun Shu...]

Dozens of miles away, the tree root cocoon wrapped around Ah Man suddenly trembled.

Falling on the tree roots, the dried flowers slowly took root and gradually came back to life...
