Chapter 280: Weighing the Pros and Cons
"Does the Six Princes seem to be very concerned about this matter?" the Six Princes smiled.
"I am naturally concerned about this matter, after all, my imperial concubine and the general's mansion are also related, and there is also a misunderstanding between you and me, if this child can't find it, I'm afraid that there is a real misunderstanding between you and me, and it can't be solved." ”
Since hearing that Yu Heng had come to the Six Princes' Mansion, Qiao Ling had been hiding in the room and refusing to come out, and the Six Princes had beaten her with a blue nose and swollen face before.
She has never been treated like this since she was a child, in front of so many people, like beating an animal, and now the bruises on her face have not disappeared, and she is even more resentful.
In order to make Lin Shu heartbroken, she was afraid that the personal maid next to her would throw the child into the farthest river in the east, and no one would be able to find it.
She didn't want to bother like this, she just wanted the maid to reach out and kill the child, and if the incident happened in the end, she could push everything out.
But the servant girl's courage was really small, and she held the knife in her hand, and she trembled for a long time and did not dare to put down that hand, so she could only threaten the servant girl, and the servant girl rushed to the river overnight, and put the child directly in a wooden basin, and left him to fend for himself.
I didn't expect to be picked up by that fool, this is probably what Qiao Ling didn't expect, when she heard Yu Heng coming, she was very flustered, at this time Yu Heng was not in a hurry to find his child, and ran to the Six Princes' Mansion to ask what crime he had, or that he had found it?
This is not possible, unless her handmaid betrays her.
As soon as Qiao Ling thought of this, she hurriedly summoned her maidservant.
"I ask you, did you do what I told you before?" the maid nodded busily.
"I did as you said, and the boy was thrown into the river in a tub. The maidservant had nightmares for days, and her face turned even pale, and every day she thought about the child who had locked her life.
She has never done anything hurtful, and this matter was also forced by Qiao Ling to do it, if she didn't do it, Qiao Ling probably wouldn't let her go.
She is just a little maid with no money and no power, and she hopes that the child will never hate her in the next life.
"Then why did Yu Heng come, how could he come to me at this time, let me ask you, have you ever snitched, or told others?"
The servant girl kept shaking her head there, this is a capital crime of killing the head, how could she be so hearty to tell others, she has always buried this matter in her heart, and she is depressed all day long.
She was afraid that she wouldn't live long, and now she couldn't bear the pressure when Qiao Ling asked her like this.
"I beg you, princess, don't continue to question me here, I have already thrown the child into the river as you said that day, and I really don't know anything else, so don't say it here. ”
Qiao Ling kicked the servant girl hard.
"It's really useless, I'm just asking you to do a small thing, you can't do it, you're still here to be afraid, what's there to be afraid of, since you threw it away, it's no big deal. ”
Qiao Ling kept twisting his handkerchief, still a little scared in his heart.
"I ask you if it's possible that the child didn't die, but floated to some bush or something. The maidservant also kept denying it.
"Impossible, when I threw it, I had already carefully observed, the river is turbulent, and normal living people will not necessarily have a chance to survive if they fall, not to mention that it is a child who can't do anything, there will be no way out!"
The slave maid was even more uncomfortable at the thought of this, it was a living life, not an animal, but a person like her, she had harmed her own kind, and she would bear this retribution sooner or later.
I'm afraid I won't be able to be a mother in this life!
"No, I don't feel at ease if I don't see the corpse, I must not let them find the slightest mistake or omission, you will go to the river tonight to look carefully, you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die, I still don't believe that this matter will be so easy to solve." ”
The maidservant girl is really afraid, she is just a woman, let her go to find it alone in the middle of the night, doesn't this let her die?
"Slave beg you, slave and maid promise you, that child will never have another chance to live, you don't let me go again, I am really afraid, I really dare not go to that river again. ”
Qiao Ling stared at her, took out a pair of scissors from his pillow and put them against her face.
"Are you going or not, if you don't go, I'll shave your face now, your deed of sale is still in my hands, isn't your cousin already saved enough money, can't he come and ransom you right away?
Qiao Ling finished saying so many words in one breath, still breathing non-stop, the maid's eyes were already showing fear, she really couldn't understand why she was chosen.
She's just a little slave, and she can't bear this kind of thing if she asks her to do it.
"I beg you, don't tell my cousin about this. ”
Qiao Ling smiled.
"It's okay not to tell your cousin, your cousin still wants to marry a gentle and virtuous you wholeheartedly, if you know that you have killed a life, what will he think of you, and I won't hand you over to him your deed of sale, I will send it to the Qinglou, you think about it yourself, do you want to go?"
Qiao Ling threw her aside directly.
She couldn't do it now, so she had to go to the river in the middle of the night.
Yu Heng was still discussing this matter with the six princes in the front hall.
"Dali Temple has been reported to the emperor, the emperor over there is very dissatisfied with your behavior, if this child can't be found, I'm afraid the emperor won't like you, you also know how much the Seventh Prince has done before, and I don't want to have any impact on you because of my affairs. ”
The head of the palace where the six princes were busy, but there were some doubts in his heart, he had always been good friends with the seventh prince, and now he ran to his mansion to tell him what he meant by this.
The maidservant sneaked out of the door around the front hall, but was carefully observed by Yu Heng, he had been sitting at the door of the sixth prince, and he knew that Qiao Ling would definitely not be able to hold back and jump out.
Yu Heng has been waiting for what kind of horse feet Qiao Ling will show, he said that he will never let her go this time, he will definitely not let her feel better again, at least let her pay for her own actions.
