Chapter 3 Crush
Chai Jing waved the people around her to leave and whispered: "What you said today is reasonable. I have discussed it with my Second Elder Brother. We both think that Qin Family’s Eldest Miss may really be pregnant. But in the end, she is my best friend. You must not say anything about this!"
Luo Jin nodded repeatedly, "This slave will never tell anyone!"
Chai Jing casually took off the bracelet on her hand, pulled Luo Jin's hand, and put it on her hand, "This is... hush fee! You can't talk about it after you take it, otherwise... you will have to compensate this Princess double it!" "
Luo Jin looked down at the bracelet in her hand.
【A bracelet that the Princess wears! How much is this worth! She wouldn't wear something that's not particularly valuable all the time! 】
【I can’t afford to pay double the price. I can’t even pay the price if you sell me! I won't be so stupid. I have forgotten about Miss Qin now. Who is Miss Qin? Haha, I don’t remember... 】
【The princess is a good person. Long live the Princess! 】
"This servant will never say anything!"
Chai Jing herself felt a little heart ache. That was the bracelet that the second prince bought for her at a huge price.
So she felt that she had to "listen" to the worth.
"You wipe this room for me," Chai Jing ordered, "Wipe it with a dry cloth inside and out. Don't leave any dust."
She just wanted to keep Luo Jin in the room and listen to her thoughts for a while. Time was limited. It would be wasted if she didn’t listen. There may be some valuable information.
Luo Jin happily picked up the rag and started to work. With such a valuable bracelet, she worked energetically. Afraid of breaking the bracelet, she wrapped it in a handkerchief and kept it in her sleeves.
【Black-hearted boss, look at this, this is a good boss! Give out bonuses at every turn. Employees will be enthusiastic about their work! As long as the money is enough, the work will not be tiring at all! 】
【I will wipe the whole room spotless! 】
【Retire at twenty-five! yeah! 】
【Actually, except for the lack of mobile phones and air conditioning, everything else is fine here. The air is good, the room prices are cheap, and there are fresh, pollution-free vegetables to eat! 】
【I used to have a mobile phone and didn’t have time to play with it. All my time was spent working overtime. 】
【When I retire, I will buy two houses, one to spend summers in the north and one to spend winters in the south! It’s so beautiful just thinking about it! 】
【Money, money, money! 】
Chai Jing sat aside, pretending to read a book, while listening to Luo Jin chattering for an hour.
The voice lasted longer this time than the previous times. It seemed that the valuable bracelet was indeed useful.
【Oh, Princess has been reading the book for an hour without turning a page. 】
【Is she thinking about something? 】
Chai Jing: "..."
【By the way, I have to find an opportunity for the proper matters. Princess cannot be allowed to marry Chen Chang! That is a villain. He will cause her death! 】
【If the princess marry Fu Qing, that would be her best choice. 】
【Have to find a way to stealthily deal with this Chen Chang. Only then, the ending will be happy. 】
【It’s best to get rid of him with someone’s hands. I’m just a weak little palace maid, I don’t have this ability... 】
【Whose hand could I borrow? 】
Chai Jing was shocked.
Chen Chang... Fu Qing...
Who?
Still, she jotted down these two names. Chen Chang was a bad guy and couldn't marry, while Fu Qing was a good guy and could marry.
No... She couldn't let a palace maid decide her marriage, right?
【Speaking of which, I don’t remember the plot of this novel clearly. After all, I read it a year ago. Although I can still recall most of it, I can't remember some of the details. 】
【The princess is considered a villain in the novel, right? It’s strange, she’s not bad at all. She’s also generous. What’s going on? 】
【My favorite heroine Feng Lingruo! When can I see you! She is so powerful, she must be able to help deal with Chen Chang, right? 】
【Meeting the male protagonist He Xiao is also fine. But let’s get rid of Chen Chang first, otherwise Princess and I will be finished! 】
Chai Jing heard several names in succession, but there was only one person she knew.
General He Xiao! Although she wasn’t familiar with him, she heard from her Second Elder Brother that this man was a famous God of War. Powerful, and the patron saint of Dongyuan Kingdom.
Novel?
To Luo Jin, was this world a novel with a known plot?
At this time, Luo Jin's voice disappeared again.
Chai Jing was a little disappointed and waved her hand, "Retreat!"
"But I haven't finished wiping yet..." Luo Jin, who was working hard, waved the rag, "I can wipe it all day long! Let me wipe it!"
"...That's not necessary."
……
The dinner in the palace was served earlier. When it was getting dark, Luo Jin had dinner and some snacks stolen from the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Princess didn't assign her any work. She touched her bloated belly, got up, and went for a walk in the garden to digest.
There were several gardens in the palace. The largest imperial garden wasn’t a place she could go. So she went to the nearest small garden. In the memory of the original owner, there were fewer people coming and going there, which was convenient for her.
Luo Jin strolled to the garden. It was already autumn. Most of the flowers in the garden had faded. Most of the remaining flowers were chrysanthemums of various colors.
Luo Jin saw that some of the chrysanthemums had fallen. She knelt down and picked up a few, thinking that it would be a waste to leave them here. It would be better to pick them up and make tea to drink and clear away the heat.
As she was picking it up, she suddenly heard a cold voice behind him, "Which palace maid is this from? How dare you steal flowers from the palace! How audacious!"
Luo Jin turned around and saw a cold-faced attendant staring at her coldly. Behind the attendant were several palace maids, who were looking at her with a spectating scan.
"This is a flower that fell by myself, not a flower that I picked." Luo Jin defended, "I didn't pick the flower! I just picked up the fallen flower. Look, these flowers were all covered in mud!"
"Nonsense! I clearly saw you picking flowers!" The attendant said coldly, "Come here, drag this maid who violated the palace rules to the torture chamber and give her fifty hard planks!"
Luo Jin was unwilling to accept, "Do you usually punish people in the palace indiscriminately like this? Speaking of which...who are you? Why are you to govern me? Have you asked my master?"
Mammy snorted coldly, "Your master won’t protect a bold palace maid like you! If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Everyone is the same! You guys... drag her to the torture chamber!"
Seeing that several palace maids were about to take action, Luo Jin's mind was racing, thinking of countermeasures. Reasoning would definitely not get through. She would probably be a goner if she was beaten fifty times.
She suddenly pointed to the sky, "Look! An airplane!"
The several palace ladies couldn't resist glancing up at the sky. Luo Jin took the opportunity to turn around and ran away.
This place was close to Princess's Lihua Palace. As long as she dashed into the Ewha Palace, would these people dare to break into the palace and grab her?
"Hey, don't run!" Attendant yelled and chased after her, who never expected her to run away.
Luo Jin ran fast. Not paying attention, her vision suddenly went dark and she bumped into someone walking toward her. Due to the excessive force, she almost fell down. Fortunately that person reached out to support her in time.
She raised her head and saw that the person coming was the second prince Chai Heng.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, that's great. These people... these people secretly picked the plane... ah no, it's Chrysanthemum. And got discovered by me. They want to kill to silence me!" Luo Jin was worried that the Second Prince would ignore her and deliberately exaggerated the matter. She took out a handful of chrysanthemums from her arms, "This is evidence!"
The attendant was furious, "What did you say? It was obviously you who stole the chrysanthemums! We all saw it!"
Chai Heng looked at the attendant with some irritation, "Who are you? Which palace are you from?"
When Attendant saw that the other party was the second prince, she didn't dare to be rude and responded: "This servant is the managing steward of Concubine Xue's palace. Surname is Liu. I have disturbed His Highness. I hope for Your Highness’s forgiveness."
Chai Heng coldly uttered: "You also know that you have disturbed me? Why don't you scram!"
"But……"
"What, are you tired of living?"
"This servant retreats." Attendant Liu glared at Luo Jin unwillingly and left with her maids.
【Oh, he was quite handsome just now! 】
【The second prince is a good man. He even rewarded me with the pearl flower... although he may not remember me. 】
Chai Heng thought to himself, how could he not remember her? She made a heaven and earth difference in his life.
If she hadn't been the one in trouble, how could he care about such idle matters between palace ladies with his chaotic mental state?
"Perfect time. I'm going to find Jing'er. Let's go back to Lihua Palace together!" Chai Heng said.
"Yes!"
【The relationship between these two siblings is so good! 】
【Unfortunately, in the novel, these two bitter pushovers has it miserable. 】
【I remember tonight seems to be the day of Qin Huaying and Jiang Ge's private meeting, right? Where was it again? 】
【Got to find a way to lure the second prince there. If Jiang Ge can be captured, wouldn’t that be a great achievement? It can be regarded as repaying him for helping me just now. And, he can also see Qin Huaying's true face clearly. 】
【But how to let him go? He doesn’t listen to me. It’s really a headache to make him suspicious... 】
Chai Heng could hardly keep himself calm. He could only walk faster to prevent Luo Jin from seeing his expression.
Jiang Ge was coming tonight! That was the crown prince of the enemy country!
What a great achievement it will be to catch Jiang Ge! He had never been favored by his Royal Father. If he could really achieve this feat, at least in his Royal Father's heart he would not be so useless.
If he could really accomplish it, he could completely offset the frustration of being deceived.
But he didn't know the location and Luo Jin's voice stopped again.
Chai Heng entered the Lihua Palace. After entering the room, he dismissed the palace staff and told Chai Jing what had just happened.
"There’s such a good thing?" Chai Jing's voice was trembling, "Then you must bring all the skilled ones under you and catch Jiang Ge! This is a great merit! We have been fighting Xiyuan Kingdom for so many years. If we catch their crown prince...can't imagine what the Xiyuan Congress would do in exchange for him!"
She laughed loudly, "Although this Qin Huaying deceived your feelings, she is still useful! It is amazing that she can lure Jiang Ge to Weicheng!"
"But I don't know the location," Chai Heng frowned, "She didn't say."
"Don't worry, she will definitely let you know. As long as you give her a little chance..."
Chai Heng talked to Chai Jing in the room for a while. Then Chai Jing asked Luo Jin to send him out.
Luo Jin saw Chai Heng's cloak hanging at the door, so she stepped forward to pick it up and helped Chai Heng put it on. She suddenly yelped, "Your Highness, a note fell out of the cloak..."
Chai Heng was overjoyed. He took the note and saw what was written on it: 9 pm, Earth Temple in the west of the city; bring more people, there will be a surprise.
Luo Jin was still pretending, "This servant is illiterate and doesn't know what is written on it."
Chai Heng: "..."
