When I woke up from the chaos, it was the third day of the first month of the forty-third year of Kangxi.

When I saw Yun Hui's worried little face that appeared in front of me, I suddenly felt a kind of unreality that was still in my dream, and wondered how she was sent in.

Later, after listening to Yun Hui, I learned that after I fell into a coma with a high fever on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the guards in the courtyard panicked, thinking that Yin Chen's attitude towards me was unclear, so I was afraid that something would happen and I couldn't afford to tell Su Peisheng about it overnight.

When Su Peisheng heard this, he scolded the guards for being confused, but that night was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yin Chen had already rested in the courtyard of the Ulanala clan after keeping the year. He didn't dare to violate the taboo and alarm the imperial doctor, so he had to let the people in the house secretly invite Lang Zhong in the market to come and have a look, prescribe medicine to deal with it first, and it was not until he had breakfast on the first day of the new year that he privately told Yinzhen about it.

Yin Zhen was angry when he heard this, and he came to visit in person, and when he saw that I couldn't feed the medicine, he went to the palace and invited the imperial doctor to come in and take a look. After seeing it, the imperial doctor said that I was sick because of my anxiety and illness, and I was infected with wind and cold, and it was difficult to say whether I could survive it because of the delay.

Yin Zhen was even more annoyed when he heard this, and sent all the guards to the board, replaced them with a batch of proper ones, and sent Yun Hui in, saying that no matter what, let me live, otherwise if I die, everyone in this courtyard will give me a funeral.

I listened to Yun Hui's somewhat messy narration, pieced together a rough idea, and couldn't help but sneer: "Which play is he playing, doesn't he want me to survive and not die?"

Yun Hui was a little nervous when she heard this, looked out of the door, lowered her voice and said, "The wall has ears, it's better to be careful." ”

I forced my sour and weak body to stand up, smiled at Yun Hui, didn't pay attention to her reminder, and still said in my usual words: "Actually, I really want to die like this, but after all, I am reluctant to involve the innocent." As the saying goes: if you can pass the first year of junior high school, who knows if you can live the fifteenth. Since Xiao Liuzi's death depends on me, and he believes that I am not clear with the Fourteenth Master, I am afraid that this will be the case in the future. Fortunately, now that you are okay, I am much more relieved. When I'm better, you don't have to stay with me to serve, go out and find a way out. I begged him for your stay and going, but you know that the relationship between me and him is not deep after all, and you can only resign yourself to fate in the future. This time I'm the one who has involved you, but it's not something I could have predicted, don't blame me, okay?"

Xu is sick and weak people also became weak in their hearts, and after saying this, the tears that had been holding back couldn't stop falling.

Yun Hui didn't care about her identity, and hugged me and cried. After the two of them finished crying, Yun Hui hugged me and whispered in her ear: "Let me call you sister at this time." After helping us from that **** and saving my brother, I made a wish, and if I can repay it in the future, I will sacrifice my life to pay back. Now that my sister is in trouble, how can I leave you alone. Although in the past, I often helped the ninth master speak, but this time I have to say a word for the fourth master. I'm afraid my sister is wrong to blame the fourth master......"

Yunhui is the person sent in by Yinyu and placed by my side, she has indeed always wanted me to remember Yinyu's goodness, intentionally or unintentionally, and has sighed that I have no fate with Yinyu. But today, he uncharacteristically helped Yinzhen speak, which really surprised me.

I pushed her away, looked at her sharply, lowered my voice, and asked in a cold tone, "Have you told others about me and the Ninth Master?"

Yun Hui was taken aback by my look and tone, and hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm not stupid, if this matter is said, don't say that my sister can't live, I'm afraid that my mother and brother will have to catch up." What's more, my sister and the ninth master are kind to my whole family, how could I do such a treacherous thing. ”

Seeing that her appearance is real, and thinking that if she really said something, I'm afraid it won't be just as calm as it is now, after all, I don't have any regrets about Yinzhen's affairs, and I have too many doubts about sending things out, and I'm afraid that Yinzhen's character is still a little suspicious. But if Yinyu's matter is involved, and then think of my dowry, and then follow the clues to check, even if Yinyu and I are clean and innocent, but it is an indisputable fact that Yinyu buried so many eyeliner in Yinzhen's mansion, and my involvement with him is also traceable, at that time, it will not be just house arrest, I am afraid that the entire Baylor Mansion will set off a bloody storm.

I sighed, turned back to the question in my heart and said, "You told me honestly, what happened from the day I was discharged from the hospital to the day they sent you back to me, what did you ask, and what did you say?"

Yun Hui thought for a moment and began to talk about the events that day after I was summoned to the garden of the Ulanala clan.

After I left that day, Xiao Shunzi suddenly said to Mama Pang and Yun Hui that he felt that Xiao Liuzi's death was aimed at me, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so he asked Mama Pang and Yun Hui to quickly clean up the things in the yard, first, to prevent someone from secretly planting something, and secondly, to dispose of some things that would be pinched or something.

Mama Pang is also accustomed to seeing those pickled things in the palace, and understands what Xiao Shunzi said, and soon after carefully collecting it, she saw that Yinzhen's attendants brought a team of people to start things inside and out. Fortunately, I was already careful, and they had already cleaned up before, and they didn't find anything, so I let the three of them take them to solitary confinement for questioning.

The content of the interrogation is repeated over and over again, probably asking "Xiao Yanagiko can often come to the garden on weekdays", "Have you ever asked you to send anything out", "But someone has brought something in from outside to give you Gege".

None of them were stupid, and they said truthfully: "I haven't seen Xiao Liuzi come on weekdays, and I did take out something to pawn when Fang Fujin punished Gege before, and the name of the pawn's shop is clear, and you can know it when you ask." As for the things sent from outside, because of the incident of Yunhui, every time it will be checked by Father-in-law Su's hand before it is sent in, as for the rest, I don't leave the house all day, I just read and write and draw, but I haven't seen anything abnormal......"

Such questions were repeated many times, and the questioners did not torture them, but even if they were coerced and enticed, their answers were still the same, and the questioners had no choice but to reply to Yinzhen like this.

Later, a few days later, they were released and told them, "Your family has been detained, and you don't have to go back to serve. ”

In this way, in addition to Mama Pang being sent out of the house to nominally raise her life, Xiao Shunzi and Yun Hui became the most inferior servants and maids in the house, doing rough work every day, leaving early and returning late to be ridiculed and insulted.

On the day of Laba, Xiao Shunzi was suddenly led to the front yard, and I don't know what he said. The day after they returned, the two of them were transferred from the miscellaneous room to the dining room to work as errands, and because Mama Du knew that they were the ones who had served me, and they were relatively kind to them, their life was much better than before.

When Yun Hui said this, she suddenly muttered: "Sister, Xiao Shunzi's identity is not simple. ”

I wondered why Yun Hui came to such a conclusion, and Yun Hui whispered: "I found that he knows martial arts, and he often runs to the front yard in the middle of the night. Later, I found an opportunity to ask him privately......"

"Wait, how did you find out that he knew martial arts and went to the front yard in the middle of the night?" I interrupted Yun Hui, and asked questions. Yunhui is a servant, and Xiaoshunzi is an internal servant, so it stands to reason that they don't live in the same place.

Yun Hui smiled helplessly, and explained that because they were the people who served me, and I was falsely accused of being the mastermind of killing and dismembering the body, those servants and maids were unwilling to live with them, and finally felt that they were my accomplices, and I was afraid that one of them would accidentally be in a different place like Xiao Liuzi that day. Because they all had such thoughts, the steward in charge of the miscellaneous servants arranged Yun Hui and Xiao Shunzi in a room alone, so that no one else would be afraid of trouble.

Xiao Shunzi knew that Yun Hui's girl was easy to sleep to death at night, so she relaxed her vigilance and often waited for her to fall asleep and got up to go out. But what he didn't expect was that since my accident, Yun Hui had something in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well all night, and he could wake up with a little noise. So I discovered the secret of Xiao Shunzi.

The two key words Yun Hui said reminded me of the time when I found him suspicious when I first entered the mansion. Now that I think about it, Xiao Shunzi really doesn't look like an ordinary minion. Could it be that he is Yinzhen's person?

Thinking of this, a name that was once familiar suddenly popped up in my mind - sticky pole.

Speaking of sticky rods, many people may not know what it is, but if you talk about its other name - blood droplets, I am afraid many people will feel like thunder.

I remember that when I read the records about Yinzhen before, I once mentioned that this was a special service organization that had been founded when he was still a prince.

On the surface, the "sticky pole" is a service agency serving the royal family's play, but in fact it is a spy organization. The so-called "blood droplets" mentioned in many film and television dramas and novels refer to these people at the sticky pole. Yinzhen has no quarrel with the world on the surface, but secretly formulates a program and stepped up the pace of competing for the reserve. He recruited martial arts masters and trained a team of Jiading, whose mission was to spy on intelligence and eradicate dissidents. That's where the "sticky stick" comes in.

It is impossible for ordinary chamberlains to have martial arts, and it is absolutely impossible to enter and exit the front yard where Yinzhen is at will. Assuming that Xiao Shunzi is the person who sticks to the pole, maybe it means that Yinzhen didn't trust me from the beginning? But I was just an ordinary woman at that time, my father was the leader of his side, and I was the one who agreed to the proposal of the Ulanala clan to go to the mansion. If he doesn't trust me, why would he take me in? Isn't that a source of unhappiness for himself?

"Sister, you're thinking about it. Yun Hui heard my question, she continued: "After discovering Xiao Shunzi's secret at that time, I endured it for a long time, but after all, I felt that I should respond to it in my heart, so I searched for him one day and arrested him when he came back, pestering him to tell me the truth. Xiao Shunzi had no choice, so he had to secretly tell me that he was doing things for the fourth master. After the fourth master planned to admit his sister into the house, he was worried that his sister's temperament would not be able to adapt to the life of the inner courtyard, so he specially asked Xiao Shunzi to come over and keep an eye on it. Later, Mama Pang also invited her sister here, and the fourth master was also very relieved. But I didn't expect my sister to be too stubborn, and she couldn't understand the kindness of the fourth master, and she always screwed with the fourth master. The fourth master will condone Fang Fujin to teach his sister a lesson, and wants to let his sister sharpen her temperament, but I didn't expect Fang Fujin to frame my sister even harder, and seriously injured me, so the fourth master was also annoyed, suggesting that Yan Fujin took over the rights of Fang Fujin, so that she could raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Hui paused, seeing that I was still staring at her in disbelief, trying to see the truth of her words, sighed, and continued.

"Originally, the fourth master thought that the side Fujin had stopped, and with the temperament of the elder Fujin, my sister should be able to live a period of time, and I also thought that when my sister and Lu died, maybe her mind was different, and she could follow the thoughts of the fourth master. But I didn't expect a wave of unevenness to rise again. The fourth master was busy during that time, and he didn't care about going to the backyard. Xiao Liuzi's matter was too sudden, and when the fourth master rushed back to the garden that night, it was too late to ask Xiao Shunzi about the situation, so he saw Chang Fujin and Song Gege singing and pouring dirty water on their sister. The fourth master thought that with his sister's character, how could he make a fuss, and when the time came, he could go through the crackdown, but his sister gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, so that the fourth master couldn't find a conversation if she wanted to make decisions for her sister. As for the matter of the fourteenth master, the fourth master sent someone to investigate, Xiao Liuzi did send something to the fourth master in the name of his sister, and many people in the house also knew about this matter, and my sister did not refute, the fourth master's face could not be pulled down, and I was worried that if I didn't deal with my sister, the murderer of Xiao Liuzi would be unfavorable to my sister. I had to use the matter of the Fourteenth Master to punish my sister and detain my sister here. But if the fourth master really felt that his sister had something to do with the fourteenth master, how could he be afraid that his sister would not think about it to his own detriment, and he would not let Gonggong Su personally send his sister back to Zhang Luo's detention. This is actually called detention, but in fact it is protection. But I didn't expect that my sister was such a transparent person, and this time she couldn't understand the good intentions of the fourth master......"

"That's all that Junzi told you?" I interrupted Yun Hui and asked rhetorically.

The tone of the question was very light, but the heart was like a stone falling into the water, causing layers of ripples. I can't tell whether this is what Yinzhen really did for me, or whether he instructed Xiao Shunzi to give me a gentle policy.

"Yes, it was Xiao Shunzi who said it. He said that Gege was too stubborn, if he was willing to bow his head and give in, where would the fourth master let Gege suffer such grievances. Yun Hui nodded in response.

"You're wrong, Yinzhen is not such a person, have you ever thought that Xiaoshunzi is scolding you, maybe these words are called by someone, just to make me feel that I am wrong. I put aside the contradictory thoughts in my heart and asked with a sneer.

"This ......" Yun Hui was asked by me and didn't know how to answer.

I touched Yunhui's forehead and said, "There is no love between people for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. If it is like what Xiao Shunzi said, Yinzhen should have been in love with me for a long time. But have you ever thought about it? He is ten years older than me, not to mention that when he accepted me, I was not yet in time, and my body and appearance had not grown, what would he like about me? Besides, before he accepted me into the mansion, we did meet twice, but they were just general acquaintances who were bound by the number of rituals of master and servant, and what could he like about me? It's not that I'm self-effeminate, I just think that our fourth master is not the kind of person who is easy to be attracted to that woman, and how can he easily fall in love with a little girl like me. ”

Listening to my words, Yun Hui also felt that there was some truth. She asked, "What is my sister going to do?

I was a little dazed for a moment by Yun Hui's question. If Xiao Shunzi is Yinzhen's person, he should know that Xiao Liuzi was not killed by me. Because killing and dismembering corpses is not only a manual work but also a technical job, I am just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of fifteen, Mama Pang is old, Yun Hui is still young, and Wanqing is his person, if even Xiaoshunzi can't help me, then how can I commit such a big case alone. Besides, I am surrounded by people who are all his except Yun Hui, if he is really involved with Yinyu, I am afraid that he should have gotten the news a long time ago, instead of waiting for the East Window incident to learn about it.

Thinking like this, I suddenly wavered a little from what I had just refuted Yun Hui. Xindao: Could it be that I really blamed Yinzhen? Is he really thinking about me everywhere? But how can I make a person like him, who is known in history as unsympathetic to women, so concerned.

The serious illness has not been cured, and Yun Hui's words did not make me feel better, but because of the inner contradictions, the worries in the mouth of the imperial doctor became good and bad, and they became more and more serious over and over again.
