Make You Happy

  Chapter 327 Collusion begins

  As the couple left, an unknown bird call suddenly sounded outside the house. The sound was sharp and piercing, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

  Ruan Youqing heard the bird's cry, but his expression turned serious, and he waved at Qiangu.

   "Miss Ruan, what are your orders?"

  Gan Gu walked to Ruan Youqing's side with a blank face, and when he saw her serious expression, he immediately changed his mind and asked softly.

  Ruan Youqing frowned slightly, and lowered his voice: "You really didn't see anything weird about this village just now?"

  Gan Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "I did observe it carefully, and found nothing strange. There are indeed signs of ordinary people's lives in this village."

  After hearing Gan Gu's answer, Ruan Youqing's expression gradually eased.

  Perhaps, she is too sensitive.

  Although there was a bit of greed in the woman's eyes when she saw Yin Liang just now, but thinking about it, this is also human nature.

   Broken silver is not much for them, but it is a huge wealth for these ordinary people who live on farming.

  It is normal for people to have greed.

  But Ruan Youqing repeatedly told several people to take turns to keep watch at night to avoid any accidents.

   After sitting quietly for a while, the couple came back smiling.

   "Sorry to keep you waiting. Just now, when I went to clean up your room, our head of the house went to cook some noodles for you. It's not too late for you to eat something to warm your stomach and rest."

  After the woman finished speaking, she walked over with a smile and took Ruan Youqing and Cang La's hands.

  Ruan Youqing smiled gratefully after being stunned, then withdrew his hand from the other party very naturally, saluted seriously and thanked: "I'm sorry for the trouble, auntie."

   Seeing this, Cang La on the side quickly pulled out his hand and saluted and thanked everyone who followed suit.

  The woman had never received such a solemn ceremony, and she took a few steps back as if flattered, she quickly waved her hands and said: "You two young ladies don't need to be so polite, it's just cooking noodles, it's not troublesome at all."

   Several people were polite again, and the woman put the cooked noodles in front of everyone.

  Ruan Youqing slightly shrugged the tip of his nose, then smiled and said: "This noodle is really fragrant."

Hearing Ruan Youqing's compliment, the man following the woman smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's just ordinary noodle soup. You are hungry, so it smells delicious. Eat it while it's hot. I'll take it with you." Let my mother-in-law go find you some clean quilts."

   After speaking, the two left again.

  Ruan Youqing's smile disappeared again as the two left.

  Yue Ying, who had been carefully observing Ruan Youqing's reaction, immediately asked in a low voice: "Master...this side...could it be..."

  Yueying knew that her master was very sensitive to drugs and poisons.

  Reminiscent of what she just said, Yueying couldn't help but also began to be wary of the village.

  However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Youqing began to eat calmly.

   "Master!?" Yueying was a little surprised.

   "It's okay, let's eat." Ruan Youqing opened his mouth lightly after taking a sip of the noodle soup.

  When a person is extremely tired, eating a bowl of hot noodles is the most comfortable thing.

  So, without Ruan Youqing speaking again, the rest of the people stopped being polite and buried their heads in eating hard.

  …

  As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

  The matter of Prince Li Yi was known to everyone in the capital within half a day.

  In the imperial palace, naturally also got the news.

  The queen was urging Li Ange to learn the piano art, but not long after the start, Ruolan, the maid next to her, ran in with a look of panic.

  「The empress is bad! The empress is bad!」

  The queen who was on the verge of breaking out, who had been tortured by Li Ange, was naturally completely enraged after hearing such unlucky words, and slapped Ruolan back.

  After being stunned for a moment, Ruolan immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, and said very quickly: "Your maidservant deserves to die, and the empress should not be angry. But the matter is urgent, please ask the empress to listen to what the servant has to say before punishing the servant."

The queen who made a move gradually calmed down, but her expression was still a little impatient: "You have been with me for a long time. Seeing that you abide by your duty, I will spare you this time for the time being. Tell me, yes What made you lose your temper."

  Ruo Lan continued to speak: "Yes...it is His Royal Highness...something happened..."

  「Yi’er? What happened to him?」

   Li Ange, who was still struggling with Qin, was also looking this way curiously.

   Noticing Li Ange's movements, the queen glanced at her coldly, and then felt even more depressed.

   I don’t know who her girlish character is, not to mention she is not prudent, and she likes those knives, guns and sticks all day long. She doesn’t look like a princess!

  And these days, her son, who had made her quite at ease, actually had his own thoughts. After all, he hadn't come to pay his respects to himself for a long time!

   Both of them are debt collectors, which doesn't make her worry at all!

  Ruolan saw the queen's gloomy face, and shivered timidly: "Today... in the city... there are some rumors about... His Royal Highness..."

   "What rumor?" The queen still had a cold expression on her face.

  「They said... said...His Royal Highness...the heirs are in the way..."

  After speaking, Ruolan immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to look up to see the Queen's reaction.

  However, the expected curses did not sound, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.

   Ruolan boldly looked up at the queen.

   It happened that the queen looked down at her with gloomy eyes.

  「Where did this word... come from?」

   "Slaves...slaves also heard from others. They said...the public is discussing...I don't know...where it spread..." After speaking, Ruolan lowered her head again and dared not look up again.

  The queen's eyes at this time can kill people.

   "You find someone to investigate the truth of this matter for me, and then find out who said this first, I will cut off their tongues!"

"no need."

  The door of Juhui Palace was suddenly pushed open.

  Li Yi's cold voice also sounded.

   Seeing her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, come here suddenly, the queen's mood is quite complicated.

  But after seeing Li Yi's pale face now, the queen said in amazement and distress: "Yi'er! I haven't seen you these days, why..."

"Looking like this?" Li Yi smiled evilly, and then continued to speak nonchalantly: "A few days ago...maybe...possible...that's why I didn't have enough energy and blood...that's why my face was a little pale. But it's better now, queen mother Don't worry."

   "Then..." The queen pondered for a moment, only feeling that the question just now was a bit difficult to ask.

  Unexpectedly, Li Yi took the words with a smile and said very directly: "The queen mother wants to ask, is the son-in-law really like those people said... incompetent?"

  The queen's face froze, but when she was about to speak, she remembered that Li Ange was still here.

   "An Ge, you go down first."

  Li Ange, who was named, glanced at his royal brother with a complicated expression.

  She just seemed to hear something she shouldn't have heard...

   It's going to kill me.

  After feeling the sinister look in her royal brother's eyes, Li Ange didn't dare to look at him again, and after saluting her farewell, she slipped away as if to escape.

   Seeing Li Ange leave, the queen took a breath, her expression was as cold as an ancient well:

   "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time..."
