Chapter 562: Questioning

Before leaving the palace, the carriage stopped slowly, the luxurious and exquisite carriage, the four corners of the silver bells fell, the wind blows, the bell is pleasant.

Sydney lifted the curtain, and a small servant greeted her, and said in an eager voice, "Princess Shizi, you can be regarded as back, and the house is about to become a pot of porridge." ”

Minglan was still weak, and he sat in the carriage for a long time, dizzy, and when he heard the little girl's announcement, his heart felt like someone had knocked him on a stick, and Sydney had already asked, "What's going on in the house?"

The little servant hurriedly replied, "After the princess returns to the Chu family, the palace is fed by the princess, you and Cheng's mother are not here in the past two days, no one cares about the big and small things in the house, if you don't come back, the old princess will send someone to Jingningbo Mansion to invite you." ”

The corners of Minglan's mouth hooked up a sneer, Chu Li has already returned to the mansion, don't the old princesses know that she lost too much blood in order to save her mother's relatives, and she can't go back to the palace, so she stays in the Bofu to recuperate for the time being?

Moreover, there is a huge palace, and those in charge are all wine bags and rice bags, and everything must be arranged by Cheng's mother thoughtfully, so that she can do things according to her orders?

It's just taking advantage of your illness to kill you!

Sydney looked at Minglan worriedly, and Minglan said, "Let's go down first." ”

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Cheng's mother is dead, the princess doesn't know when she will come back, she will definitely take over this palace, and she has no reason not to take it over when she sends it to the door.

After Sydney got out of the carriage, she helped Minglan down and walked into the inner courtyard of the palace step by step.

Along the way, many maids looked at her, with admiration, distress, and sympathy.

As soon as she walked to the second gate, Chen's mother walked up quickly, helped Minglan and said, "Why is the princess's face so bad, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Minglan shook his head, "I'm fine." ”

Chen's mother helped Sydney help her forward, while looking back, but she didn't see Cheng's mother, Chen's mother asked, "Why didn't Cheng's mother come back with the princess?"

Sydney's body trembled, do you want to talk so scary, Cheng's mother is dead, if you come back with them, you can't scare them to death?

Before Sydney could answer, Chen's mother guessed, "You won't give your feet to Wei again, will you?"

She has never seen a person who is so easy to break her feet, when she breaks her feet badly, this broken feet, I am afraid that the stewardship of the princess will not be able to keep it.

Although she knows how to take care of the house, she has only been in the palace for a long time, and the big and small stewards in the palace are not subject to her arrangement, and she can't control people at all.

Minglan only smiled and went to Changhui Courtyard.

Seeing her come in, the third lady smiled weirdly, "It's only been two days, and the princess has come back, and it doesn't seem to be as serious as it was, and how much blood has been lost." ”

Sydney puffed out her cheeks, she is still an elder, if she doesn't feel sorry for her girl, forget it, she still fell into the well, lost so much blood, if it was her, she couldn't get out of bed if she didn't lie in bed for ten days and half a month, the blood of the princess can detoxify all kinds of poisons and help restore health, can she be questioned by them? !

After sitting down, she said, "Mother Cheng and I haven't come back for two days, and the palace has become a mess, how can I stay in the Bofu with peace of mind, I'm not afraid that I won't come back, and several aunts won't be able to eat a mouthful of hot rice, are you hungry?"

The third lady's face changed, the old princess's face turned pale, and she was furious, "The princess can't help but take herself too seriously, if you are not here, won't the palace even have a mouthful of hot rice?!"

Usually each courtyard cooks its own food, the big kitchen uniformly buys ingredients and distributes them to the courtyards, yesterday it was late, the small kitchen of Changhui Courtyard delayed the cooking time, to the meal, the dishes were not served for a long time, the old princess was furious, she said that she couldn't eat a mouthful of hot rice, is it wrong to be hungry?

The third lady looked at her bloodless face, she saved the Su family, filial piety is greater than the sky, it is not good to criticize her, so she asked, "Mother Cheng, why didn't you see her?"

Minglan shook his head, "I don't know. ”

The third wife's face turned cold, and she blurted out the words of blame, "You don't know, Cheng's mother is dead, such a big news, you actually say you don't know?!"

Minglan wanted to laugh, wasn't she still pretending to be stupid just now and didn't know to ask Cheng's mother, she just pretended to be stupid a little, she was angry and her true form was revealed, Minglan stroked her head and said, "I lost too much blood, my head was bloody and dizzy, I heard it, I thought that the third aunt asked my dowry housekeeper Chen's mother." ”

Who has the heart to care about your dowry housekeeper?!

The third wife's angry eyes flickered, and Minglan said, "I didn't expect the third aunt to be so well-informed, and Cheng's mother is dead." ”

The third wife's face changed, and the anger in her eyes turned into shock, although she knew that Cheng's mother was dead yesterday, but the news was too sudden, she had been in the palace for nearly twenty years, her body was also tough, and she was the most trusted person of the princess, but she died quietly like this, how could she not be shocked?

Before the third lady could recover from the shock, the old princess over there began to ask the bottom of the matter, "How did Mother Cheng die?"

"He who was slain with a rod alive. ”

Since he knew that Cheng's mother was dead, he must know how she died, so Minglan did not hide it.

But this is not what the old princess wants to know, Minglan's obedience and obedience, not only is it not likeable, but it poured a handful of strong oil on everyone's unhappy and angry hearts, and the fire sounded, and the old princess slapped the table, "Don't pretend to be stupid with me! I'm asking you what happened to Cheng's mother who was killed with a cane!"

Minglan was terrified, "Mother Cheng is the mother concubine's person, only the mother concubine has the right to kill her with a cane, she must have done something to anger the mother concubine, is it worth the old princess's anger to execute a slave who made a mistake?"

The old princess's face was faintly blue, and the third lady sneered, "The princess's complexion is not as good as before, and her ability to lift the bar has grown a lot, Cheng's mother is the princess's henchman, and she also had full authority to deal with the palace before she was killed by the cane, she has lived in the palace for nearly 20 years, and she was killed by the cane like this, shouldn't we ask?!"

Cheng's mother is the princess's confidant, and she was also killed by the princess's cane, if there is really unsightly news, it will naturally be about the princess.

The third lady said this, if Minglan didn't tell the truth, I don't know how the maids should criticize the princess indiscriminately.

But Minglan just didn't say it, if she wanted her to say it, she would say, what had become of her, Minglan only smiled, "The mother concubine is upright, what is unseemly, if there is, how can she kill Cheng's mother with a dignified cane, and send it back to the palace, causing people to speculate and ask? Being under the same roof for so long, does the third aunt think that the mother concubine is so stupid?"
