Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 731 The candle suddenly went out
Zi Yuan peeled another grape and fed it into Zhuo Qing's mouth.

After Zhuo Qing swallowed it, she chuckled lightly: "She didn't deal with me in the first place, and when she sent me an invitation card for no reason, I realized something was wrong, as expected..."

Zi Yuan smiled flatteringly. "I heard that the fifth princess was the worst dealt by the eldest lady. Not only was she hungry and frightened, but she almost got into a fight with the eldest lady. I heard that the eldest lady did not know how to ask for the imperial decree to get a maid under her name. Became a side concubine! I will marry into the fifth prince's mansion someday."

Zhuo Qing sneered. "She deserves it! The two of us sisters have suffered a lot from Zhuo Nan, and she, Zhuo Ran, doesn't have a long memory, so she will be humiliated when she is sent to her door."

Ziyuan didn't dare to laugh at Zhuo Ran, she is now the fifth princess in the limelight!Changing the subject, she said: "I heard that the eldest lady invited the crown princess, and even the crown princess was abused. This eldest lady is too courageous, isn't she afraid...?" After that, he didn't dare to say the outrageous words.

Isn't the eldest lady afraid that one day, whether it is the crown prince or the fifth prince who ascends the throne as emperor, the crown prince and the fifth prince who become queens will retaliate against her?

Even if the eldest lady's status is respected, she can't surpass the mother of a country!Anyway, she couldn't figure it out.

Zhuo Nan's behavior is like showing off his bravery, it will only bring endless troubles!

Zhuo Qing showed a contemptuous smile and said: "What is she afraid of? Back then she was just a wild girl, and she dared to disobey and be unfilial before she recognized her ancestors. Now she will be named an imperial wife, with the Queen Mother backing her, Naturally, it is a fox pretending to be a tiger, not to mention others."

Seems to make some sense... Zi Yuan nodded in agreement. "Miss, it's late at night, after the servant waits for you to take a bath, it's time to rest."

"En." Zhuo Qing nodded, stood up from the beauty's couch, and went straight to the bathroom.

A servant girl lit a candle on the table and in other corners of the bathroom, which instantly illuminated the dark bathroom extremely brightly.

Two servant girls filled the tub with warm water.

Ziyuan sprinkled petals inside.

A maid helped Zhuo Qing undress.

Zhuo Qing stepped into the tub, then slowly sat down.The water in the tub immediately overflowed and wet the ground around the tub.

All the servant girls came out and stood guard outside the gate.

Zi Yuan was the only one left to take care of Zhuo Qing with a silk cloth and help her wipe her back.

Zhuo Qing was lying on the edge of the tub, smelling the fragrance of flowers, half-closed her eyes and enjoying Zi Yuan's service, while asking: "Which maid did Zhuo Nan get into the Fifth Prince's Mansion?"

Ziyuan stopped rubbing her back with her hands, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued to rub her back and said, "I heard that it seems to be one of the twin sisters, which one is it, I heard someone say it, but I didn't remember it. "

"One of the twin sisters?" Zhuo Qing repeated, two coquettish women with exactly the same face but completely opposite auras appeared in her thoughtful mind.

One has a temperament as cold as snow lotus, and the other is as coquettish as red lotus and raging fire.

Zhuo Qing narrowed her eyes and said affirmatively: "If I'm not mistaken, Qing Wu must be the concubine."

Qing Wu?Ziyuan nodded in agreement with surprise on her face. "That's right! It's called Qingwu! In order to improve her status, the eldest lady let her marry the fifth prince smoothly. I heard that she even recognized her as a righteous sister! It is undoubtedly Qingwu. Miss, how did you guess? ?”

A look of pride flashed across Zhuo Qing's beautiful eyes, but she asked modestly: "Did you forget that when the mother was unconscious, one day the Holy Majesty came in person, and the fifth prince and the fourth prince had a dispute because of this vixen?" , the fourth prince was whipped and wounded all over, but instead he was punished by the holy majesty and confined in the fourth prince's mansion."

On that day, Bai Zhi hit a wall and died!

When he had his last breath left, Zhuo Nan stepped on his neck cruelly, and died of injustice!

Thinking of this, Zhuo Qing's expression instantly became ferocious, and her eyes were full of resentment!
Zhuo Qing's change was noticed by Zi Yuan, she shrank her neck in fright, and said cautiously: "...I remember this." Obviously, she also thought of Bai Zhi's tragic death that day.

Bai Zhi had already been disfigured by the eldest lady, but in the end she still refused to let her go. Bai Zhi's death is really pitiful.

Poof...a candle suddenly went out.

The bright room suddenly dimmed.

Ziyuan and Zhuo Qing looked at the suddenly extinguished candle in the northeast corner at the same time, forgetting the topic just now.

Zi Yuan glanced left and right, and muttered strangely. "How did the candle go out?"

Zhuo Qing also checked a few times, the door was closed, only one window was half open.He said indifferently: "Probably it was blown out by the wind blowing in from the window. It's okay, it's just that one candle has been extinguished, and there are three more, just keep scrubbing and don't worry about it."

"Yes." Ziyuan answered, picked up the silk cloth and continued to wipe Zhuo Qing's back.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, only two pops were heard, and two more candles went out!The bright room suddenly became more than half dark.

Ziyuan immediately stopped and looked at the strange candle that was extinguished, and looked around in fear.

Zhuo Qing also sensed that something was wrong, but she pretended to be calm and said, "You ask the maid outside the door to come in and relight the candles that were extinguished."

Zi Yuan nodded, casually put the silk cloth on top of the tub, and walked quickly to the door.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened, and the moonlight outside suddenly shone in.

The two maids who were supposed to be guarding the door were gone!Not a single person!
Zi Yuan was immediately surprised!I thought the maid who was guarding the gate dared to leave her post without permission? !
Zhuo Qing saw Zi Yuan standing at the gate and kept looking around, she frowned displeasedly and asked, "What's going on?"

Zi Yuan hurriedly turned around and replied, "Miss, the two gatekeepers are gone." Turning around and stepping out of the gate, she stood on the steps and looked around, looking at the entire courtyard.

Looking at the beauty couch that Zhuo Qing slept in before, it was still placed in place, and the table next to it was still full of tea sets and fruits.

Zi Yuan murmured to herself suspiciously: "I didn't clean up the courtyard, could it be that I'm cleaning up Miss's boudoir?"

Zhuo Qing's voice sounded from behind. "Leave them alone! Come quickly and relight the candles."

"It's Miss." Ziyuan replied, turned around and stepped into the house with doubts in her heart, closed the door casually, and walked towards the extinguished candle.

Zhuo Qing watched Ziyuan walk towards the northeast corner where the first candle was extinguished. At this moment, there was a creaking sound in her ear, and the door——suddenly opened.

Zhuo Qing and Zi Yuan froze immediately, and subconsciously raised their heads to look at the opened door.

I saw a servant girl walking in with her head down, so that people could not see her face clearly.
