Chapter 217: What a basin of dirty water that counts as hard work
"You're leaving in a few hours, so talk to me one last time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info" After arranging the tasks that needed to be done, my tone softened, and I gestured to the chair next to me for him to sit down.
Xiao Shunzi silently complied, at this time he was much more relaxed than when he first entered the house, so when I turned the topic back to something outside, although his body instantly stiffened, although he was still silent, he obviously did not resist as before.
"Those words must be about the relationship between you and me, I guess someone is saying behind my back that I can't stand loneliness, so I have a personal relationship with you?" This topic Xiao Shunzi will definitely not take the initiative to mention, but I ask it directly, even if it is embarrassing, it is the easiest to lead him to speak.
This kind of thing will not be passed on when I am in the Hidden Mansion, because the people in the Hidden Mansion have a lot of taboos against me, and no one will guess about it. And Xiao Shunzi is an inner servant who has been with me for 20 years, and it is not uncommon for me to trust him, but now this kind of rumor has appeared not long after entering the palace, and it has also spread to Yinzhen's ears to mind, so presumably this rumor must have been deliberately released by someone, and it is estimated that it is still true or false to the point of making people believe it to be true.
Xiao Shunzi heard my straightforward speculation and questioning, his expression was embarrassed, and his ears were slightly red, and he spoke after a long time: "The master guessed right, this matter is all because the slave was reckless for a while, and he was in a hurry to save the master before he let people take the handle." ”
It turned out that I was scolded by the rod that day, Xiao Shunzi was anxious to go down to ask Yinzhen to save people, although I met Yinzhen who went to Yonghe Palace halfway, but in order to avoid evil, the place where the rod blamed was not in Yonghe Palace, but in a special room on the side. After all, Yinzhen is the emperor who has just ascended the throne, he has his trade-offs, and it is impossible for him to have a fight with his mother for his concubine on the first day of the new year. Therefore, Yinzhen did not go directly to the place of execution, but asked Su Peisheng to follow Xiao Shunzi to stop him first, and went to the queen mother's dormitory in Yonghe Palace to intercede with the queen mother.
Helplessly, Su Peisheng had no kung fu, and Xiao Shunzi, who got the will, went to the place of execution one step ahead of Su Peisheng, and at that time I had already fainted because of the heavy hands of those people. The person holding the cane heard Xiao Shunzi say that the emperor had an edict, so that when he stopped the cane punishment, he had lightened the falling action and was ready to stop, but the Li family and I who were imprisoned next to him were resentful, and she saw that there was only Xiao Shunzi alone, so she reprimanded the person who was executing and said: "This is the dog slave who is the person next to the slut, he faked the holy decree and wanted to delay time to save people, it is difficult for you to have a few dares to disobey the queen mother's decree and continue to fight me."
The affairs in the harem are in charge of the queen mother from Kangxi 28 years later, the palace people have been accustomed to listening to orders with her, and now Yinzhen has just ascended the throne, the queen has not been officially canonized, and the phoenix seal is still in the hands of the queen mother, plus Kangxi pursues "ruling the world with filial piety", and the queen mother is the emperor's mother. So when I heard Li shouting like this, I didn't see Xiao Shunzi take out any tokens, so I really didn't stop.
Xiao Shunzi saw that those people were attacking harder than before, and I lay there without knowing whether I was alive or dead, so I stepped forward in a fit of anger and knocked the two executioners to the ground. Then without waiting for Su Peisheng to arrange, he picked me up and walked out. Seeing this, Li wanted to stop him, but Xiao Shunzi's eyes were already red, and he said to Li: "Don't think that no one has moved you in this palace, if she has something to do, I can have a hundred ways to let you die quietly." ”
This sentence was said by Xiao Shunzi with red eyes and gritted teeth, completely devoid of etiquette and awe, it can be seen that he really moved the murderous intent, Li was frightened at that time and did not stop it, it happened that Su Peisheng also arrived at this time, so he asked Xiao Shunzi to carry me back to the residence of Jingren Palace, and also found the imperial doctor.
When I was beaten, I clenched my teeth when I was unconscious, and when I returned to the house, I had already fallen into a deep coma with a high fever. The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor couldn't be fed at all after it was served, even if Xiao Shunzi forcibly pinched his teeth and jaws, but because I didn't swallow most of the medicine fed in, it flowed out. The doctor said that the injury was already very serious, and now he is suffering from wind and cold, if the medicine can't be fed, the body will definitely not be able to stand the high fever all the time, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive three days. When Xiao Shunzi heard this, he couldn't care about his identity, so he asked everyone to go out of the house and wait, and then left him alone in the house and fed the medicine in the mouth-to-mouth medicine that often occurs in dog blood dramas. In fact, the situation was urgent at that time, and everyone present knew in their hearts that this was just to save people, and they tacitly did not mention it.
That night, Xiao Shunzi was left alone in the room to take care of it, which was a habit when he was in the palace. Because I can't leave my sleeping self in the care of someone I don't trust, I won't allow anyone to enter the house when I fall asleep, except for Xiao Shunzi, who can stay in the house. After entering Jingren Palace, I haven't changed it, Dongmei knows my rules, so Xiaoshunzi stayed to take care of me that night.
But inside the high palace walls, it was not a place to hide things, and the people in Jingren Palace were all new after all, and not everyone had such a strict tone. The ambiguous rumors between Xiao Shunzi and me somehow spread among the extremely boring palace people.
The harem is a more filthy place than the courtyard of the deep house, the filthy between the eunuchs, the affairs of the eunuchs and the palace maids, and the unclear relationship between the concubines who can't bear the loneliness and the eunuchs and palace maids who are close to them, these are really not uncommon things in the eyes of people who have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but they are enough to gossip to pass the time, after all, the law does not blame the public, unless the luck is too bad, otherwise few people will investigate the source of these words.
However, everyone knew that these words could not reach the emperor's ears, so as long as they were not intentional, these things were rarely known directly by the emperor. However, Yinzhen knew, obviously someone deliberately wanted him to know. This is something that a man and the emperor absolutely cannot allow, whether it is Yinzhen to maintain the emperor's face, or he is still interested in protecting me, he will not let the root of this rumor continue, so it is not surprising why Yinzhen is eager to transfer Xiaoshunzi away from my side. And after this incident, it is difficult to guarantee that Yinzhen's temperament will not bury a deeper mustard in my already jealous heart.
"You don't need to check this to know that it must have been done by the Li family. Sometimes only the opponent knows her best, and she always knew that you had done a lot for me in secret, and she knew that you could really do it if you threatened that day. Over the years, she has really learned smart, and she knows how to find the key points and weaknesses. Well, it's good, in order to splash this basin of dirty water, she really tried her best, and she really succeeded. "After listening to Xiao Shunzi's words, I laughed angrily, I didn't even need to track down to think of who was the initiator behind the scenes, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to be the shadow of the queen mother, who is said to be the most virtuous concubine in the Qing Dynasty in history.
