She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 355: Startling Steps 2

The maid Qiaohui rushed to Mingyu in panic, opened her arms to block her, and shook her head vigorously like a rattle.

With a face full of anxiety, he said, "To reply to Princess Mingyu, my princess is much better now. The doctor has come to see her before, so there is really no need to invite the imperial physician."

After hearing this, Mingyu's brows furrowed involuntarily. You know, according to the time calculation, it has been quite some time since Ruoxi fell from a high place.

Such a long time has passed, but she is still so weak and powerless. This doesn't seem right.

After all, Ruoxi came to the capital this time just to participate in the talent show. Although according to the development of the plot, Ruoxi will definitely recover and be full of energy and vigor in the future.

However, what the current situation is ultimately depends on the actual circumstances.

At this moment, Mingyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small piece of Ruoxi's clothes sticking out from under the quilt.

The embroidery on the corners of the clothes was extremely intricate and exquisite, and the colors were bright and eye-catching. At a glance, you could tell that this kind of fabric was definitely not used to make underwear.

Thinking of this, Mingyu's heart moved, and then he turned his gaze to Ruoxi's face and began to look at her carefully.

Sure enough, she soon discovered that Ruoxi's eyes twitched slightly without being noticed.

It seems that pretending to sleep is quite tiring. Coupled with the look on the face of Ruoxi's maid Qiaohui who was trying desperately to stop her, Mingyu knew that Ruoxi was pretending to sleep.

Maybe they were playing when she came.

Thinking of this, Mingyu decided to go with the flow and stay here for a while. She didn't think Ruoxi could stay still for so long by herself.

At this moment, Concubine Ruolan walked in. When she saw her sister lying unconscious on the bed with a face as pale as paper, her expression suddenly froze.

It was obvious that she had never expected that her sister, who was full of energy and laughing and playing just now, would become so weak in an instant.

A look of helplessness flashed across Ruolan's face. She really didn't know what to do with her sister's strange and unpredictable thoughts and behaviors that occasionally emerged.

But she couldn't be exposed at this time, Ruolan calmed herself down a little and whispered to Mingyu who was standing beside her.

"I'm afraid Ruoxi won't be able to wake up for a while. How about Princess Mingyu move to the side and rest for a while?"

However, Mingyu repeatedly waved her hands and refused, "No need, I came here today specifically to visit Ruoxi. Since she hasn't woken up, I'll just stay here with her for a while."

Mingyu clearly saw that Qiaohui's expression was very disapproving after hearing what he said, but who told her to be in the mood at the moment?

While she was chatting with Ruolan, she was still thinking about Qiaohui's name. She wondered who gave her this name?

If Ruoxi heard this name for the first time, would she also wonder why she was not called Shuhui or Meihui?

After a while, Mingyu clearly felt the maid Qiaohui's frequent looks back and the increasingly impatient expression on her face.

It seemed that Ruoxi could no longer hold back. Mingyu smiled secretly in her heart, but before she could make a decision, Juqing came over carefully to inform her of the news about Fu Jin.

"Princess, Fu Jin sent someone to see why you haven't returned yet?"

"Yes, I will. I will be back soon."

Mingyu was just playing a prank just now and didn't really want to embarrass Ruoxi. Now that she heard her sister's words, she decided not to stay.

"Concubine, I'll leave first."

Ruolan nodded gently, "Princess, be careful on your journey."

"Ah."

Mingyu clearly heard a small exclamation from inside the room as soon as she stepped out of the door.

"She's finally gone!"

I guess this is the voice of the time-traveling girl, Maertai Ruoxi.

Mingyu chuckled and walked out slowly.

In fact, she didn't hate or like Ruoxi, but she always felt a little touched when she saw her gradually transform from an ordinary modern girl to an ancient woman.

No one can stop the trend of the times. Conversely, it is difficult for an ordinary person in a feudal society to resist being assimilated by the environment.

In the days that followed, Mingyu stayed with her sister, and once again realized Minghui's situation in the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Although the Eighth Prince gave his sister enough face on the surface, she was not very favored in private. However, in this royal family, as long as the Eighth Prince wanted to leave a good impression in front of Kangxi, he would definitely not do anything to favor his concubine and neglect his wife.

On the contrary, although the concubine Ruolan treated the Eighth Master very coldly, it was not known whether it was due to the bad nature of men or something else, the Eighth Master would often visit her.

Although Mingyu was in the mansion, she did not miss any necessary news.

Ruoxi sneaked out of the mansion to play, but unexpectedly bumped into the Fourth Prince's horse. It was only at this time that Mingyu and Fu Jin realized that Ruoxi had sneaked out.

Minghui was very angry. She had never liked Ruolan. No one would like a woman who would steal their husband, even though they lived in an era where it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.

But the necessary jealousy is still there, even for a woman as smart and strong-willed as Minghui.

Their vision was limited by the times. Even if Ruolan was asked to marry by the Eighth Prince himself, they would not blame the Eighth Prince. Instead, they would place their hatred on Ruolan, who was also a woman.

Mingyu knew her sister's concern, but this matter was indeed difficult to resolve. The best way was to castrate the Eighth Prince, which might be a better solution.

But men are like that. Even if they don't have the tools to commit crimes, they will still think about women. Even with his status as the Eighth Prince, he might even become more perverted.

Mingyu thought to herself and decided to see how things would develop in the future. If necessary, some things could be done.

Minghui remained expressionless, sent the servant back to report the news, and turned around to speak.

"Come here, drag all the servants who serve Ruoxi out and give them twenty lashes of the cane. As slaves, they can't even take care of their masters. If this continues, the Prince's Mansion will be in chaos."

"Yes."

Mingyu watched Minghui's actions without saying anything. At this moment, she felt that it would be better for her to keep her mouth shut.

But Minghui's order was not enough, she also had to go to the concubine's Ningxiangju, and Mingyu obediently followed her as a background board.

Several people came to Ningxiangju in a threatening manner. The concubine had already been waiting outside the door. However, when Mingyu saw the concubine's appearance, she found that she looked normal and obviously did not notice that Ruoxi had already sneaked out of the house.

Ruolan knelt down and saluted to the Eighth Lady, "Ruolan pays respect to the Lady."
