186 The Scourge of the Concubine
When Feng Jiwen arrived in front of the gate of Jingyun Nunnery, she was surprised to find that in addition to the two oil-walled carriages outside the tightly closed gate, there were about a dozen eunuchs stationed there.
Apparently someone from the palace.
Could it be that someone from the palace came to visit the concubine?
But why this time?
"Who's coming?"
Seeing Feng Jiwen getting out of the carriage, a sharp-faced grandmother in a dark brown gown and about forty years old asked coldly, with a look of vigilance in her eyes.
As soon as she spoke, Feng Jiwen sensed that something was wrong.
The last time she came back to the palace, she also bumped into people outside the door, although the attitude of the subordinates stationed there was not good, but it was far from what it is now.
Xiao Xian nervously glanced at the surrounding formation, and Xiao Cha also realized that an unusual dangerous atmosphere was flowing around her.
The gloomy night sky is extremely low, especially at the foot of the mountain, which makes it feel very oppressive.
Many speculations flashed through Feng Jiwen's mind, and she forced herself to calm down: "The concubine was invited by the concubine a few days ago and came to visit. I wonder if the concubine can meet guests at this time?"
I didn't dare to tell the truth that it was Mama Yu who invited her to visit the concubine today, because of prudence.
Hearing this, the grandmother looked her up and down, her tightly tensed face was extremely cold and stern, and she spit out a sentence coldly from a slightly drooping lip: "Besides, it is inconvenient for the concubine to see guests at this time, please go back to this lady." ”
Feng Jiwen's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to show too much on her face, she only made a normal look, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just wait." ”
"Madame might as well come back another day. The other person's tone was cold and hard.
"I didn't plan to go back to the city today, so I don't have to worry about waiting a little longer. Feng Jiwen insisted.
Mama's face became a little colder when she heard this, and she was obviously very displeased with Feng Jiwen's ignorance, so she only said bluntly: "Madam, please go back-"
When it comes to this, it doesn't even take much time to explain, and it's obvious that he's driving people away.
Even Xiaocha can hear it.
The decent smile on Feng Jiwen's face did not diminish at all, as if she didn't feel that she had lost face at all: "If the concubine can't leave, can you bother Mama to invite Mama Yu, who is waiting by the concubine's side, to come and see her?" ”
"......," the grandmother looked at her with a frown.
She had never seen such a brazen person, let alone a woman.
She said so ruthlessly, how could she still smile and talk to her about conditions here?
She weighed the pros and cons in her heart.
Besides, the concubine must not be able to let her see it.
But there is no reason to rush - the master has instructed more than once that he must try his best to hide people's eyes and ears, and never leave a handle.
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of and avoid the identity of the master, but this matter is about the face and dignity of the royal family, and it is absolutely impossible to be careless.
"Please come out. She turned to a little eunuch with a lantern beside her.
The little eunuch responded "yes", turned around and pushed open the two gates.
"Squeak-"
The door was opened, and Feng Jiwen subconsciously looked towards the courtyard.
The courtyard is dimly lit, but it is still faintly visible and the usual straight corridor paved with green bricks, as well as the wooden shelves built on both sides for drying herbs, and the three major leafy linden trees.
No one spoke, and the eunuchs and the grandmother did not move as if they were sculptures in the dark night, which was extremely silent and even a little weird, which made Feng Jiwen's heart full of uncertainty.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps that the suffocating silence was broken.
Mama Yu's figure is now in Feng Jiwen's sight.
She hurried out, accompanied by the eunuch who had gone to deliver the message.
"Mama Yu......" Feng Jiwen unconsciously stepped forward and took a few steps.
"Why did Mrs. come over at this time?" Mama Yu first glanced at the mama from the palace, and then looked at Feng Jiwen.
"I didn't make time during the day, so I came late. Feng Jiwen stared at Mama Yu's face and didn't dare to let go for a moment, just wanted to find the answer to what kind of situation the concubine was in at the moment from her expression.
Mama Jade looks very different from usual.
It's not words and deeds, but the aura around you.
The rigidity and strictness are gone, and some are just flustered and unprepared.
Although it is not obvious, Feng Jiwen can see it clearly.
What kind of person is Mama Yu Feng Jiwen knew very well, she didn't dare to think about what could make Mama Yu confused.
She couldn't help but panic a little, every nerve and pore on her body seemed to be tightened.
Mama Yu looked at her, her blue lips moved a few times, vaguely eager but wanted to speak.
The grandmother seemed to have an inquiry, and her gaze swept sharply at her.
Mama Yu suddenly woke up, her face was a little straightened, and she hurriedly said to Feng Jiwen: "The concubine doesn't have time to see Mrs. at this time...... It's not too early, so let's go back today, and it's not too late to come back another day. Then he said with an uncertain expression: "The jade cream originally prepared for my wife has been delayed temporarily, and it has not been prepared, and there is also the fragrance dew, which is still in the pharmacy and has not yet been opened." ”
Feng Jiwen knew that she was deliberately covering up, so she couldn't help clenching her fingers in her sleeves and asked her, "I don't know if the concubine is okay recently?"
"......" Mama Yu paused for a moment and nodded: "The concubine is fine, the wife doesn't have to worry." ”
After answering, he urged: "Mrs. go back quickly!"
Feng Jiwen saw anxiety and contradiction in her eyes.
It seems that he wants to say something to her, but he is afraid that it will affect her.
Feng Jiwen stood in place, hesitating.
Like Mama Yu, she also wanted to ask Mama Yu what happened in Jingyun Nunnery tonight, but she knew that she couldn't ask this in front of everyone in the palace.
"Can I rest in Jingyun Nunnery tonight and see the concubine when she is done?" she insisted.
Mama Yu was both moved and sad in her heart.
What moved was that Feng Jiwen was clearly aware of the danger, but she still insisted on staying to confirm the safety of the concubine.
The sad ones are...... She knew very well that this matter was definitely not something that Feng Jiwen could get involved in.
If the concubine learns that she is like this with his wife, she must not want to affect her in the slightest, right?
Fang Cai only blamed her for being in a hurry, and she actually wanted to grasp the life-saving straw of Mrs. He, but she didn't know that not only could she not save the concubine, but also involved Mrs. He.
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. She made up her mind, looked at Feng Jiwen and said, "Mrs., let's go back quickly, if you have something to say, I'll talk about it another day." ”
There is no room for rhetoric.
Feng Jiwen's slender ten fingers loosened and clenched, and she repeated this more than ten times, and finally said: "So I won't bother, and I'll come to visit the concubine another day." ”
After that, he took the two maids into the carriage without stopping.
Looking at the carriage that turned around and left, Mama Yu couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but almost instantly, her eyes turned red.
"Yu'er, the two of us entered the palace together back then. ”
The sharp-faced grandmother rolled up her sleeves slightly, looked at the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree rustling with the night wind in front of the nunnery, and said in a somewhat distant tone: "Back then, I said that I could beg the Queen Mother to leave you in the pharmacy to be a medicine lady, but you refused - those of us who are slaves and maids, what we are most afraid of is to follow the wrong master." I wonder if you regret it now?"
Mama Yu raised her face and shook her head, her tone was stubborn: "I didn't follow the wrong master. ”
The grandmother looked at her when she heard this, but she didn't know whether to be more mocking or more merciful.
……
"Uncle Ji, stop ahead!"
As soon as the carriage left the sight of everyone in front of Jingyun Nunnery, Feng Jiwen suddenly lifted the curtain and commanded the coachman.
"Does Madame want to go back?" asked Fairy with a nervous expression.
She is the best at observing words and feelings, and although Fang Cai's situation is complicated, it is not difficult to find that Jingyun Nunnery is in big trouble.
Mama Yu urged her wife to leave vigorously, apparently out of good intentions.
If you continue to stay, you can't guarantee that you won't be involved in this incident.
In the end, those people are not ordinary people, but from the palace......
Once anything is related to the people in the palace, it should be avoided as far as it can be - this is what my wife once told her.
But now, as soon as she asked, before the carriage had time to stop, she saw that Feng Jiwen had already jumped straight out of the carriage!
"Ma'am!"
Xiaoxian and Xiaocha couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and hurriedly got out of the car.
Feng Jiwen didn't say a word, didn't stop for a moment, lifted the corners of her skirt with both hands and rushed towards a mountain path to the east on one side.
The path was rugged and narrow, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and could not even accommodate two people, and carriages could not be entered, so they had to be walked in.
Xiao Cha looked confused and didn't know what the situation was, but Xiao Xian suddenly understood Feng Jiwen's intentions, and couldn't stop it for a while, so she could only say to Xiao Cha: "Take the lantern in front of the car and show the way for Mrs.-", and he hurriedly chased after him.
Feng Jiwen ran all the way, and she couldn't hear anything in her ears except for the whirring wind.
She knew exactly what she was doing.
She was also well aware that the matter could have some consequences that she could not afford.
Because of her nature, coupled with the concubine's many ear mentions, she is quite cautious in her life, especially the word trouble, and even in the eyes of outsiders, she may be a little timid, timid and afraid of things-
But at this moment, as long as she thought that the concubine might be in danger, she didn't care about anything, and she didn't care about anything.
It's not that she can't see that Mama Fang Caiyu wants her to leave as soon as possible, so as to stay away from this incident's kindness-
But she thinks that it is understandable for people to be cautious in life, but if they only look forward to the future when the safety of important people is at stake, and choose to ignore them for self-preservation, then what is the difference between them and plants and trees?
Even if she doesn't talk about these vain truths, just talk about herself, if she really leaves, something really happens to the concubine, and she will definitely not be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life!
Therefore, no matter what the result and consequences are, she must see the concubine tonight!
"Ma'am, the front is here, you slow down-"
Xiao Xian panted forward and hugged Feng Jiwen, and under the faint light of the lantern in Xiao Cha's hand, he looked at the two old wooden doors in front of him and said.
This is the back door of the Zhuangzi of Jingyun Temple.
Because of its remote location, no one sets foot on weekdays, and it is adjacent to the green hills, and the grass and trees and roads are uncared for, which makes it extremely barren.
Feng Jiwen rushed to the door sweating profusely, shook it twice, and as expected, it was locked from the inside.
"Little tea, kick the door open!"
After Xiaocha was stunned for a moment, she answered "Yes!", and immediately stuffed the lantern in her hand to Xiaoxian.
Xiaoxian's expression was very hesitant: "Madam, you really want to ......"
But seeing that Feng Jiwen didn't hear her words, a pair of anxious eyes stared at the wooden door tightly, and said to Xiaocha: "Use some strength, the sooner the better-"
Looking at the panicked look rarely shown by his wife, Xiaoxian had mixed feelings in her heart, and couldn't help but think of many pictures of the concubine admonishing his wife with a straight face on weekdays, or the wife holding the concubine's arm and being coquettish, etc., and couldn't say why for a while, and the words of persuasion suddenly couldn't be said anymore.
also knew that no matter how she persuaded this time, my wife would not listen.
The two wooden doors have been corroded by wind and rain all year round, and the door lock has a thick embroidery mark due to infrequent use.
Feng Jiwen stepped into the courtyard on the old door panel full of cracks, and hurriedly ran to the front yard with two maids.
Fortunately, in the first two months she spent in Jingyun Nunnery, she didn't learn it, but she only got acquainted with Jingyun Nunnery's inside and out, and she was familiar with the road along the way, almost without delay.
The courtyard where the concubine was located was as quiet as usual.
There are only two lone lamps lit under the cloister in the courtyard, exuding a dim and warm light.
Feng Jiwen ran all the way to the hall with the lights on.
With a "clang", she pushed the door of the hall open.
The scene in the hall suddenly came into view, and Feng Jiwen immediately felt that the world was spinning, and her pupils contracted violently!
