Chapter 196: Spices
After listening to Shen Fengxu's words, Qing Yu thought of something, paused slightly, suddenly turned his head to look at Chunyi, his eyes showed a cold and piercing color, and said word by word: "Madam, the maid was framed by this maid named Chunyi, if you want to investigate clearly, you will naturally bring Chunyi back for interrogation!"
Chunyi's face changed, she had betrayed Qing Yu, Qing Yi naturally hated her, she must not be taken back by the eldest lady, so she turned her head to look at Shen Fengxu, and said: "Girl, the maid has no second heart for you, what I just said, there is no half a lie!"
Shen Fengxu also protected Chunyi and said: "Mother can bring Qing Yu back, Chunyi is a person from Guiyun Academy, and I can also trust Chunyi." ”
And the eldest lady probably felt that her set of rhetoric could bluff Shen Fengxu, so she said again: "If you want to investigate, how can you not take her away?
As soon as this sentence came out, Shen Fengxu flinched, and had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, mother will take Chunyi away." ”
Chunyi's face turned pale with fright: "Girl, the maid can't go!"
If she goes, what else will she have to live? Qing Yu will never let go of herself.
But Shen Fengxu's face also showed a little difficulty, and it seemed that he really had no choice but to reassure: "Chunyi, I have no way to keep you, since my mother wants to investigate, you can just go with you, if you are innocent, your mother will definitely not wronged you." ”
Qing Yi just looked at Chunyi coldly.
Capricious people, no one will trust, Chunyi betrayed Qing Yu for his own benefit and turned to Shen Fengxu, and in the future, he will naturally betray Shen Fengxu for the same reason, so Shen Fengxu will never reuse such a person, Qing Yu also expected to make such a request, Shen Fengxu will definitely agree.
Looking at Chunyi's desperate pale face, Qing Yi just looked at her coldly and said, "Chunyi, this account, wait until you go back and then calculate it slowly." ”
And Dansha, who brought Chunyi into Guiyun Courtyard, also felt guilty and disappointed, she kindly took her in because she pitied Chunyi's experience, but she didn't want Chunyi to be a nail planted in Guiyun Courtyard by others.
Therefore, she did not say anything to stop her at this moment.
Chunyi's face turned pale, looked at Shen Fengxu, and prayed that Shen Fengxu could save him: "Girl...... Girl...... The servant can't go, save the servant......"
But Shen Fengxu had already waved his hand, ignoring Chunyi, and just smiled and said to the eldest lady: "Mother's health is not yet well, don't stand on the tuyere, go back quickly." ”
The eldest lady naturally had no intention of gossiping with Shen Fengxu, so she took Qing Yi and Chun Yi away, Chun Yi had the heart to struggle, but the red yeast had already loosened the rope that held Qing Yu.
After loosening the tie, Qing Yi detained Chunyi.
Qing Yu's cold voice fell into Chunyi's ears from behind him: "Come with me, you must know what you have done." ”
As he spoke, he ignored Chunyi's struggle and took Chunyi away.
After the eldest lady returned to Chunfang Courtyard with a few people, she asked about Qing Yi's matter, and Qing Yi only deduced that Chun Yi slandered her, and did not mention anything else.
A cool breeze blew in, blowing a few strands of broken hair on Qing Yu's forehead, and fine cold sweat was already appearing on her forehead, as if she was struggling inside.
The eldest lady raised her eyes to look at Qing Yu and asked, "Did Shen Fengxu still tell you anything?"
Qing Yu seemed to be in a trance, but she quickly calmed down, and after a moment of silence, she said, "No, other than that, the sixth girl didn't tell me anything." ”
She listened to Shen Fengxu's words, and did not inform the eldest lady about Shen Yulou, and the eldest lady didn't seem to see anything wrong, so she nodded.
After Qing Yu shook his mind for a moment, he said again: "By the way, madam, about Chunyi......"
A cold color appeared on the eldest lady's face, and said: "Since Chunyi is Shen Fengxu's person, there is no need to let her go, since she slanders you, let you deal with it yourself." ”
Hearing this, Qing Yu lowered her head slightly: "Thank you, madam." ”
After a few more words to the eldest lady, Qing Yu withdrew.
At this time, Chunyi was clasped and tied in the yard with her hands.
Seeing that the person who stepped forward was Qing Yu, Chun Yi was suddenly frightened and retreated, but he was tied with a rope on his body, but he couldn't take a few steps back, Qing Yi showed a fierce look on his face, and said: "Since you want to betray me, you should have expected today's fate." ”
Chunyi cried loudly: "Sister Qingyi, let me go, Chunyi didn't want to do this, but the sixth girl had already found out about this and threatened her life, so Chunyi had to ...... from Ah"
Hearing this, Qing Yu frowned: "How did the sixth girl know?"
Chun Yi was just looking for an excuse at random, hoping to make Qing Yu's subordinates merciful, but Qing Yi suddenly asked like this, but instead asked Chun Yi, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly said: "Sister Qing Yi should also know that there is a strong martial arts maid by the side of the sixth girl, called Yun Wan, what the maid did before was monitored by the maid called Yun Wan, so the six girls knew it early on, it was not the maid who betrayed Sister Qing Yu......"
She said desolate and sad: "If there is a chance, the maid will not betray Sister Qing Yu, but the sixth girl has already known everything, and the maid really has no choice......"
Although she was falsely speaking, she was telling the truth.
Qing Yu asked coldly, "Is that really the case?"
Chunyi nodded again and again and said, "Yes." ”
"Whether what you say is true or not, I will never let go of your betrayal of me. Qing Yi dragged Chunyi all the way out.
Chunyi begged for help: "Sister Qing Yi let me go, Chun Yi will definitely do her best to Sister Qing Yi in the future." ”
But Qing Yi was still expressionless, and only dragged Chunyi away, ignoring Chunyi's shouting.
Everyone only listened to Chunyi's cry, and gradually drifted away and became silent, but no one stepped forward to stop them.
......
Days passed.
The light rain fell for three days in a row, and the whole capital was shrouded in a gloomy cloud.
There are teams of guards patrolling the streets, walking from the streets to the alleys, and even some of the squads are not the guards in Beijing, but the Qinglin guards, which makes the people of Beijing even more panicked.
What kind of thing is it that makes such a big move? Not only did the Janissaries patrol back and forth, but even the guards came one after another.
At this time, a group of Qinglinwei people walked into a small alley.
One of them complained, "Isn't it just a loss of something?
Someone on the side immediately booed and said, "You can't say that, if someone hears it, you will suffer." ”
The man sighed and said, "Yes, but I really don't understand, it's not strange that the emperor loves Jiang Xiaoyi, but he won't let us come out to look for some jewelry, right?
The person who spoke to that person was Shen Cang, the second son of Dongning Bo Mansion, and this was also the first time he had come out to do business since he joined the Qing Linwei.
The cause of the matter is not complicated, and now the favored concubine in the palace is Jiang Xiyue, who has just entered the palace, that is, Jiang Xiaoyi, although according to the rules of the palace, she cannot be promoted for no reason, but although she is only Xiaoyi, Ming Jin often stays in the Moon Picking Palace, and everyone inside and outside the palace knows that the most favored person today is Jiang Xiaoyi.
And a few days ago, the phoenix tail that Ming Jin gave to Jiang Xuanyue was gone.
Jiang Xiangyue was lost for a long time because of this, Ming Jin took pity on Jiang Xiangyue, so he sent someone to find the whereabouts of Bu Shao, and because of this, even Qing Linwei was sent out.
After searching in the palace to no avail, he didn't even let go outside the palace.
Shen Cang smiled and said, "Jiang Xiaoyi is being favored now, and there is no way to do it." ”
Shen Cang also sighed a little, Jiang Xuanyue was still the eldest girl in Yi'an Bo Mansion before, but in just one month, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The former cousin is now the favorite concubine of the emperor in the palace.
I have to sigh that things are changeable.
The man still sighed: "Let's enter the Qinglin Guard for the sake of the family and the country, not for the sake of women, but I'm really afraid of laughing at the daughter, the princes of the beacon fire......"
Shen Cang hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
That person also realized the problem, if this kind of thing is said and heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.
Seeing him react, Shen Cang let go of his hand and said, "Next time, be careful, I'll just hear it, if it's someone else, maybe what will happen!"
The man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes." ”
A group of people was walking, and suddenly they met the people of the Prince's Mansion.
This is the alley near the East Palace, and it is not strange to meet the people of the Prince's Mansion, but the alley is a little narrow, so Shen Cang and the others slightly get out of the way.
But just as the people from the Prince's Mansion were about to pass by, Shen Cang suddenly noticed something unusual, and he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"
The people around turned their heads to look at Shen Cang.
Shen Cang took a step forward, pointed at the people in the Prince's Mansion, and said, "What is it in your box?"
The man at the head of the prince's mansion frowned and said, "Do you want to take care of what the prince ordered us to take out?"
On the side, Qing Linwei hurriedly pulled Shen Cang: "Brother Shen, come back." ”
Although they are the guards subordinate to Ming Jin, they can't easily offend His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention that the others are just carrying the box away, there is nothing wrong with it, but Shen Cang's actions are too strange.
But Shen Cang didn't retreat, but asked loudly, "What's in this box?"
The people in the prince's mansion were also impatient, and said, "Hugh has to be nosy, you are a little guard, do you also have to point fingers at the prince's actions?"
Qing Linwei's person also said: "Brother Shen, come back, after we patrol this area, we can go back." ”
No one would want to clash with the Crown Prince's people if they didn't have to.
But Shen Cang didn't, he stubbornly stepped forward to block the way of the people from the prince's mansion, and insisted: "If you don't explain clearly what is in the box, you can't go over!"
Seeing that the dispute is still going on, it seems that a fight is about to break out.
At this time, someone was coming from the direction of the Prince's Mansion, and the person who came was the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion, and he saw that the atmosphere was serious and tense, and he also vaguely guessed one or two, and walked over with a smile, and asked, "Isn't this the Lord of Qing Linwei?"
Shen Cang asked lightly, "What is in this box?" If you don't make it clear, you can't go over!"
The chief steward smiled gently: "It turns out that the lord is asking this, isn't it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us to send something to people, but it's just some irrelevant gadgets." ”
"Since it doesn't matter, let's open it and take a look. Shen Cang stepped forward and stopped the people from the Prince's Mansion in the alley, "If not, don't pass by here." ”
The chief steward still smiled and said: "Please be a little accommodating, we are all in a hurry, if we go late and delay the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't afford it." ”
Shen Cang was very stubborn: "If you're in a hurry, just let me take a look, otherwise, I won't let you pass." ”
Seeing Shen Cang like this, the chief steward didn't argue with him, so he turned his head and said, "You guys open the box." ”
The first box was opened.
Shen Cang took a look, but there was nothing special in it, it was indeed just some inconsequential gadgets as the chief steward said.
So Shen Cang's brows furrowed deeply, and he asked, "These things are spices?"
The chief steward smiled on his face and said, "Yes, it's all spices, since the adults have already seen it, can you let them go?"
After seeing it, there was no justifiable reason to stop the people from the Prince's Mansion again, so Shen Cang got out of the way.
"Let's go. He said.
The smile on the chief steward's face became more and more intense, and he said, "Thank you, sir." ”
So the people from the Prince's Mansion walked out with a few boxes.
Shen Cang turned his head to look at the people in the Prince's Mansion, with a strange look in his eyes, although he was allowed to leave, he still felt a little strange.
Qing Linwei, who had just been talking to Shen Cang, patted Shen Cang's shoulder and asked, "Brother Shen, do you think something is wrong?"
In a word, Shen Cang was asked, and he couldn't even say why for a while, but that strange feeling still lasted for a long time.
"Brother Shen?" the man asked again.
After a moment of thought, Shen Cang suddenly reacted.
It's the smell.
The aroma in the box is just too strong.
He knew that the box contained spices, and it would be fine if only the aroma wafted in the air, but the aroma did not come from unusual spices, and the aroma in the air was disgustingly strong.
It seems that there is something hidden beneath the spices.
The aroma wafting through the air was just a cover for something else.
Shen Cang thought so, so he stepped forward again to stop the people from the Prince's Mansion.
"Wait!"
