Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 237 Xie Yuanjiu’s true face

Ye Changyi couldn't believe what he said.

 It doesn't matter that she is arrogant at ordinary times, the ladies here are not as good as her family background.

 But the person who is scolding her now is the crown prince of Cangyun Kingdom!

Ye Changyi felt that her face was dull and earth-colored, and she was embarrassed.

 She glanced at Shen Ningning with resentment: "I, I..."

Ye Changyi finally couldn't bear the public humiliation, so she covered her face and ran away crying.

The eldest aunt winked and motioned for a young palace maid to follow her and watch to avoid any problems.

“Have you all heard what His Highness the Crown Prince said? The selection of female officers is absolutely fair. Everyone has the same starting point. There is no difference, and there is no preferential treatment.”

In front of Mo Lingwei, the eldest aunt solemnly stated.

Then, she walked up to Mo Lingwei respectfully: "His Royal Highness is here to pick up the princess, right? It just so happens that there will be no classes scheduled later."

Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei's dark gaze swept across the helpless little guy over there.

"I'm just here to take a look, I'm leaving now." He said, withdrew his gaze, turned around and left with the others.

Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with her little feet and was about to catch up.

Unexpectedly, a cry of surprise came from behind, and Qi Xiuwei was so frightened that she shouted: "Miss Xie fainted!"

Shen Ningning looked back and saw that Xie Yuanjiu had fallen to the ground with a pale face.

Everyone gathered around, and the eldest aunt hurriedly asked the maid to take the token and ask for the imperial doctor.

Shen Ningning looked at Mo Lingwei's figure that had gone away in a sedan chair. She could only grit her teeth and think about explaining to him when she saw him in the evening.

 Then, the little guy ran to Xie Yuanjiu to help.

When my eldest aunt met Xie Yuanjiu, she realized how hot she was.

After the imperial doctor came, he prescribed medicine and said that Xie Yuanjiu was infected with typhoid fever. It took a day or two before it became serious.

The eldest aunt glanced at the sleeping Xie Yuanjiu calmly.

 She left a little palace maid to take care of her.

at dusk.

 Xie Yuanjiu finally woke up, and there was only a little palace maid in the room boiling medicine.

She sat up holding her head with a splitting headache, and the first thing she asked was: "Auntie didn't say she wanted to drive me away, did she?"

The little palace maid raised her head and said: "Miss Xie, you are awake. My aunt didn't say anything. Don't think about selecting female officials now. Your health is important."

"The imperial doctors all said that your illness comes quickly, so you should take good care of yourself."

 Xie Yuanjiu pursed her lips, and her eyes became serious.

 She immediately demanded: "I want to see my eldest aunt."

The little palace maid couldn't resist her. After a while, the eldest aunt came after hearing the news.

 Xie Yuanjiu found an excuse to send the little palace maid away.

Upon seeing this, the eldest aunt looked calm in her eyes: "Miss Xie should have a good rest now. I will contact your family tomorrow to take you out of the palace."

Xie Yuanjiu was leaning on the bed, with a haggard look on his face.

 But those eyes looked dark because of calculation.

“Auntie, I came to you to tell you about my illness.”

"I know that according to palace rules, a sick lady cannot be selected as a female official, but my aunt cannot send me away."

The eldest aunt condensed her expression and said: "Since Miss Xie knows the requirements of the palace regulations, even if I agree not to send you away, it doesn't matter what I said. It only matters what the palace regulations say."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled: "But aunt, if it were before, you would have to obey the palace rules."

“But I’m different now. Concubine Rong specially spoke to me today. How do I know that Concubine Rong doesn’t want me to be a female official?”

The eldest aunt was shocked and subconsciously frowned.

She looked at Xie Yuanjiu. This lady who usually seemed quiet, reserved and well-behaved could actually say such arrogant words.

Xie Yuanjiu said in a calm tone: "Ning Ning is close to the prince, so she will definitely not be the female officer of His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Miss Ye offended the prince today. I think the news will soon reach Concubine Rong's ears, so she also lost the opportunity."                                                                                                                                                                                                             without a s Your Majesty’s favor.”

“What if my aunt drives me out of the palace and guesses the queen’s thoughts wrongly?”

The eldest aunt was silent for a long time before she spoke again: "Miss Xie, I don't want to say something too straightforward, lest you be disappointed."

"But apart from Princess Funing and Miss Ye you just mentioned, there are many outstanding ladies among the ladies."

“The selection of female officers is based on overall performance. You have not answered correctly in every assessment before, and Concubine Rong will not know it.”

 Xie Yuanjiu took out a package of something from under the pillow and held it in his hand.

She smiled lightly and said, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about this. What you have to do is not to rush me out of the palace by force."

 Speaking, she handed over the heavy purse.

Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were dark: "Auntie only needs to tell the outside world that my condition needs to be rested and it is not suitable to move, so I can't leave the palace for the time being."

"Is this not difficult for my aunt? I believe that Concubine Rong will not let you send me away forcibly at this time."

The eldest aunt pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows for a moment, and then said: "Okay, then just as the lady said, I hope you can get your wish."

A trace of pride flashed in Xie Yuanjiu's eyes, and she handed her purse forward again.

“Auntie, take it, please? You’ve worked hard these days.”

"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I can't bear it." After saying that, the eldest aunt retired and left.

Shen Ningning has been sitting at the door of Shuixie Huawu.

Hold the stove in her little hands, her dark eyes always looking at the door of the yard.

 The eldest aunt came out of the north room and saw the lonely figure of the little man.

"Princess? Who are you waiting for?" The eldest aunt stepped forward and asked.

Shen Ningning raised her pink face and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, I'm waiting to see when brother Wu Fang will come."

The little guy was thinking about what if Mo Lingwei asked her to come over and have dinner with him again.

 She has to wait here, Wu Fang can see her as soon as he comes in.

Shen Ningning stood up and asked again: "By the way, is Sister Xie feeling better?"

The eldest aunt's eyes darkened: "Princess, you and Miss Xie live in the same room. Did you know that she was sick?"

Shen Ningning was stunned, lowered her head, and twisted her clothes with her little hands, looking very guilty.

"Yes..." she replied Nunuo: "I'm sorry, aunt, I should tell you, but Sister Xie begged me not to tell you."

“She has been preparing for the selection of female officers for a long time, so I thought she should be given a chance, so I didn’t report it.”

 Auntie felt a little cold when she heard this.

I'm afraid Princess Funing hasn't figured out what kind of person Miss Xie is!

The eldest aunt shook her head: "The princess does not need to apologize to the slave. After all, Miss Xie's family is also a blessing in disguise."

“Next, let’s hope that whatever she wants comes true.” After the aunt finished speaking, she left.

Shen Ningning was confused when she heard this.

 A blessing in disguise? How can being sick be a good thing?

The little guy sat down puzzled and waited for another hour.

It was getting dark and it was time to go to bed, but Mo Lingwei didn't send anyone.

 She cannot leave Shuixehuawu without being summoned by the prince. Due to her status, she cannot leave Shuixiehuawu casually.

So, Shen Ningning walked back and forth on the corridor with her little feet.

 Everyone went to bed.

Just now the maids came to urge Shen Ningning to go back to her room.

 But, the little guy still wants to wait.

 Until a pair of hands gently patted her shoulder from behind.
