Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 23 You are actually curious about a woman

"Letter? What letter?"

Murong Jiu asked suspiciously.

I thought to myself that it was no wonder that he asked the maid to go out. It turned out that he had a letter for her alone.

But she couldn't think of anyone who would ask him to bring a letter to her.

"Your master's letter."

Jun Yuyan took out a small roll of tied paper from his sleeve, which must have been just taken off the carrier pigeon.

Master’s letter!

Murong Jiu was filled with joy and instantly forgot the embarrassment of facing Jun Yuyan just now.

She took it and opened it. On the small piece of paper, there was Master's familiar scrawled handwriting.

"Damn girl, your master and I are going to the mountains to collect herbs. When we return to the capital, master will give you a big surprise."

There are not many words, and it is the tone she is most familiar with.

Her nose became sour and tears fell down.

When she was a child, she lived a difficult life in Zhuangzi because no one cared about her. The servants bullied her and beat and scolded her. Her life was worse than that of the servants' children, and the dogs ate better than her.If it weren't for the bad luck, I don't know how many times I would have died.

When she was five years old, she met her master.

The old man was unshaven and smelled of alcohol. He was lying on the ground and fast asleep.

When she saw him, several dogs were surrounding him, tugging on something unknown. She was frightened, thinking that the human intestines had been bitten out by the dogs.

She didn't know where she got the courage to pick up a branch and hit the dog so hard that it woke him up.

"Oh, where did you come from, you damn girl? I can't even sleep peacefully!"

When the old man sat up, she realized that it was not the intestines, but a woman's bellyband.

Because the old man had a few meat buns in his arms, and the dog smelled them.

Later, those meat buns all entered her stomach.

Later, fewer and fewer people bullied her, because everyone in Zhuangzi was "sick".

Such a good master, but when she was about to die in her previous life, she never saw him again.

Unexpectedly, not long after her rebirth, Jun Yuyan brought her a letter from her master.

Master said he wanted to give her a surprise.

Master went into the mountains of Lan'an for himself?

Does that mean that in the previous life, Master also went to Lan'an?
But why didn't she know anything and why didn't the master come back to find her?
Is there danger in the mountains?
Did the master die in the mountains for her in the previous life? !

She raised her head and looked at Jun Yuyan: "Your Majesty! Can your Majesty send someone to follow my master? I'm afraid something will happen to him in the mountains!"

Her eyes were full of tears and her eyes were sad. Jun Yuyan could see the deep sadness in her eyes, as if she had experienced some kind of separation between life and death.

He frowned and replied to her:
"The king has sent someone to accompany him into the mountain."

Murong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, great, great, Master will definitely be fine in this life.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, my master..."

"Why are you so sure he's in danger?"

She said vaguely: "I, I'm just worried."

Fortunately, Jun Yuyan didn't ask any questions and asked her to drink the porridge. If she didn't drink it, it would get cold.

She took a few sips from the small bowl and then noticed the side dishes on the table.

"Is this the pickle from Zuixianlou?"

Did Jun Yuyan buy it specially for her?
Jun Yuyan: "Yes, it's a gift."

Murong Jiu touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed and almost being sentimental.

After breakfast, Jun Yuyan left.Chuntao came in to clean up, with a smile on her face and full of energy.

"My uncle is so kind. He even dines with the young lady every day. Knowing that the young lady has a bad appetite, he ate some more pickles yesterday, so he brought back all the pickles from Zuixianlou."

Murong Jiu looked in the direction where Jun Yuyan was leaving, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Your Majesty, it's quite awkward.

"The prince just wanted to win over the young lady because he wanted to see her as a medical expert. Young lady, please don't fall into this."

Pearl said immediately.

He was afraid that Murong Jiu would be grateful to Jun Yuyan.

Murong Jiu put away the smile on his face and said nothing.

Chuntao was a little unhappy and glared at Pearl.

Pearl thought that what she said had inspired Murong Jiu, and she was secretly proud of herself.

She heard that Caiyun was beaten to death, and now she was the only one left with the second prince. She was a little afraid of King Ling, but the temptation given by the second prince was too great, and she was not willing to be a maid for the rest of her life.

Children born into a family like hers are also low-class slaves and will always be servants of the Marquis's house. Just like her parents are slaves, she is destined to be a maid when she is born.

In order to change her life, she had to make Murong Jiu willing to sacrifice everything for the second prince.

He must not be allowed to fall in love with King Ling!

She had to send a message to the second prince. Murong Jiu still had her in his heart, but he just couldn't lose face.

While waiting for Murong Jiu, Pearl found an opportunity to go out and pass the message to a servant in the palace.

The servant also sent a message to her: "The second prince asked you to tell the princess that the person who came that night was the second prince, asked her if she was pregnant, and gave her this letter."

Pearl couldn't believe it. The princess was pregnant?
No wonder the princess has had a bad appetite and is a little lethargic recently. Is it because she is pregnant?

Her first reaction was to gloat, so what if she became the princess? Even if Murong Jiu wanted to be the princess, there was no way out. Would Prince Ling want a woman who was pregnant with someone else's bastard?
She knew that the man that night was not the second prince at all, because it was she and Caiyun who helped the second prince set up Murong Jiu to have an affair with a wild man.

The second prince sent a message to Murong Jiu like this just to control her better.

"Don't worry, I will deliver the letter to the princess."

Pearl squeezed the letter tightly, checked that no one was around, and slipped away quietly.

The boy wiped the cold sweat from his head and suddenly knelt down in the direction behind him: "Your Majesty, I have already given the letter to Pearl."

Jun Yuyan and Su Kai walked out from behind the rockery.

Su Kai shook his fan: "Get up. From now on, you will continue to send messages to the second prince and be his spy, but every move you make must be reported. Do you understand?"

"The little ones know the little ones know."

"Go down."

The boy hurriedly withdrew.

"Brother Yan, what are you thinking now?" Su Kai scratched his head, feeling that things were getting more complicated.

It was Brother Yan's idea to save this boy's life, but Su Kai really didn't understand why he allowed the second prince to contact Murong Jiu.

Almost everyone knows how much Murong Jiu liked the second prince in the past. Even if she changes her mind now, there is no guarantee that she will not fall back into love again.

What's more, Murong Jiu said that the child in her belly was not the second prince's. That was just her one-sided statement. It was hard to say whether she could believe it or not.

Jun Yuyan said quietly: "She deliberately let this maid contact the second prince. I am very curious about what she wants to do."

Su Kai clicked his tongue a few times: "Brother Yan, you are actually curious about a woman. This is not like you."

"To shut up."

Jun Yuyan frowned, turned around and left.

Su Kai chased after him carelessly: "Hey Brother Yan, don't get angry out of shame!"
