Chapter 314: Cunning
This night the moonlight is hidden in the clouds, can only see the faint halo, even at night, can not find the shadow of a hundred flowers, but can also smell the faint fragrance of flowers, at this moment in the northwest corner of the Qianhe palace maid resting, has been silent, far away, a woman's figure from the verandah in the distance gradually approached, the palace lamps hanging under the eaves on both sides of the verandah fluttered gently with the wind, sprinkled a place of light, the shadow is sufficient, you can see the woman's delicate and not outstanding face.
It wasn't until he got to a room that Xingchun seemed to be a little tired and rubbed the back of his neck with his hands, and when he turned his head, he saw that the lights were still out in the rooms on both sides, and then he remembered that the palace maids living on the left and right sides of the house would be on duty tonight. Yawning, Xingchun covered her mouth lightly with her hand, and slowly pushed open the door in front of her, and when the door opened with a "squeak-" sound, she suddenly remembered something, her body stiffened, the movements in her hands froze, and a pair of eyes stared at the door tightly.
If memory serves, every time she goes out, she locks the door, how is this door open?
Almost instinctively, Xingchun took a few steps back, turned around and was about to leave, and as soon as she took a step, the heavy figure in front of her was like a mountain, isolating her from the way of escape.
I saw the two chamberlains looking at her expressionlessly, and their words seemed to be a little polite, but they didn't fail to hear the slightest tone.
"Xingchun girl, let's go into the house. ”
Xingchun stepped back nervously and panickedly, and slammed into the door behind her carelessly, and couldn't help but snort in pain, looking at the two tall chamberlains in front of her, she knew that she couldn't escape today.
Turning around, looking at the half-hidden door, her hands were already cold without a trace of temperature, and she was even more timid at the moment, she didn't know what was waiting for her inside.
"Let's go—"
Hearing the somewhat impatient tone behind him, Xingchun's hand shook suddenly, and then tentatively stretched out his hand, pushed the door open tremblingly, and walked in almost trembling steps.
Everything inside didn't seem to change, and when the door behind her was closed again, Xing Chun suddenly felt creepy, under the cold gaze of the two chamberlains, she walked towards the faintly lit inner room, when the soft curtain was gently lifted by her trembling hands, and the person sitting on it appeared in front of her eyes, her hands froze, and the soft curtain almost fell.
But at this moment, the two attendants behind him were no longer patient, and pushed her forward without pity, and she trembled and softened on the ground, and when she raised her head again, she saw that the woman in the seat was still as graceful as in front of the person, just like that, her left hand was on the desk, and her hand was carelessly playing with the wick of the candle with a silver stick, although she didn't say a word, the silence in the air was like a dense and dark net surrounding her little by little, and she could only bow her head, wishing to disappear here now.
"You're Xingchun?"
There was a woman's voice from the upper seat, but there was no tone, Xingchun looked up tremblingly, and saw the woman's dignified and beautiful side face under the halo of the candle flame, and she did not turn her head when she spoke, as if she was immersed in the plaything in her hand.
"Slave, slave Xingchun to the eldest grandson concubine to say goodbye-"
Sensing that the people below were humble as dust burying their heads deep on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, the corners of Gu Yanling's lips were gently hooked, and he casually put the silver skewer in his hand on the case, only to hear the subtle sound of collision, but it made Xingchun's back spine even more chilled.
"Do you know what I am looking for you today?"
The woman's voice was seven points indifferent, three points casual, but it did not let Xingchun, who was kneeling there, relax at all, I saw that she tried to suppress her trembling, and reluctantly replied: "The slave doesn't know——"
Gu Yanling, who was seated, seemed to be amused when he heard this, and shook his head as if he was sorry, and said casually: "I like smart people, it seems that you are not-"
Hearing this, Xingchun's heart suddenly sounded an alarm.
And the next moment, she heard a sound from above again, but it was as if a thunderclap exploded in her ears, making her tremble like chaff almost instantly, unable to help herself.
"How can a little palace maid get acquainted with the wife of the current dynasty, Mrs. Wei-"
The last three words were deliberately bitten between Gu Yanling's teeth, Xingchun's mind exploded, her face was extremely pale, even if the reaction was so abnormal, she still held the last trace of expectation, and bowed her head tremblingly: "Slave maid - I don't understand what the eldest grandson concubine means." ”
Looking at the person below who was struggling with death, Gu Yanling couldn't help but feel a little funny, she really didn't know, how could Xu Chengjun be stupid enough to use such a naïve person?
"When you went to Cui Mansion, the secretary of the military department, with Female Officer Xu to mourn, you went to Cui Shangshu's study with Xiao Yongbo's wife Wei in private, but you told me?
Hearing this, Xingchun couldn't pretend anymore, she only felt that the blood all over her body was frozen, her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move, she could only watch in horror as Gu Yanling, who was seated, got up elegantly with Jiang Zhu's hand, and walked down condescendingly, until she was in front of her, and then slowly said in a low and gentle voice: "Are you going to get something?" or to add something?"
Almost the moment the words fell, Xingchun immediately trembled and threw herself on the ground, and her words trembled intermittently: "Slave, slave and maid don't dare, slave and maid don't, I hope the eldest grandson will see clearly——"
"Clearing. ”
Gu Yanling read these two words intriguingly, and then reached out and took a few pieces of paper from Libi's hand that were fluttering but full of words, and when he let go, he fell in front of Xingchun leisurely, when Xingchun trembled and looked over, he heard Gu Yanling's voice sound again, but it was cold and indifferent.
"This is written by Wei after his confession, when the two of you dared to put the letter of collaborating with the enemy into Cui Shangshu's study and frame the court officials, you taught me how to discern it?"
When Xingchun heard this, she immediately took a deep breath, her pupils dilated slightly because she was afraid, and the dense words on the paper instantly became like a life talisman, forcing her to even breathe.
"Since you don't want to talk to me, then go to the East Editorial Factory and tell them to go. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yanling raised his eyes slightly, and the two cold-faced waiters behind him immediately stepped forward and dragged that Xingchun out coldly like a prey without the power to resist.
The palace people of the Sixth Palace, no matter what mistakes they make, will be sent to the East Ji Shi Factory, where although the torture tools are not as varied as those of the North Town Fusi, it is not difficult to pry open a dead man's mouth. But if a living person goes in, I am afraid that there is only a way out lying down.
As soon as Xingchun heard this, she immediately struggled instinctively, but the two chamberlains were extremely strong, where could they accommodate her, and between the tears, Xingchun let out a cry of pain, even if her hair was loose like a madwoman, she still didn't break free, she felt that she was being dragged mercilessly on the ground, and she was about to get out of the house, Xingchun's scalp was tingling in horror, and the coolness of her back spine had completely surrounded her.
"It's a slave, it's a slave, beg the eldest grandson to spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore-"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent, and the two forcibly dragged attendants also coldly threw away their hands, Gu Yanling stood there indifferently, looking at the embarrassed body at the door, and there was no trace of temperature in the curvature of his lips.
And so it was.
Since Huaizhu came to tell her that the girl next to Cui's side, Green Beard, recognized Xingchun, and remembered that on the eve of Yuan's funeral, when she saw Mrs. Zheng Wen Wei and Na Xingchun together outside Cui Shangshu's study, she thought of the secret letter that appeared inexplicably in Cui's mansion, and all the fog was easily removed.
If Wei and Lu Hu teamed up to frame Cui Shangshu, then it would be even more of a conspiracy for Wei to invite Cui Shangshu's wife Yuan to go to Wuzhenguan to pray for blessings.
And the reason for all this does not seem to be difficult to guess.
Now she can still clearly remember that at the flower banquet of the eldest princess of Changping, when her mother stepped forward to meet her and Xie, Xu Chengjun looked at Xie Yun's eyes with unconcealable appreciation and shyness.
But she didn't expect that Xu Chengjun would act so viciously, and how many people's lives would be taken for his inhumane affection.
Such madness, she has only seen in one person.
That is, Xiao Yan.
"Send people to the East Editing Factory. ”
Listening to the indifferent voice without a trace of warmth, Xingchun's face was as white as paper, but he had no strength to struggle and beg for mercy.
She knew that everything was going to no avail.
"Burn them all. ”
In the silence, Gu Yanling looked down at the thin pieces of paper, and walked out without looking back.
It can be seen that people who have done bad things are always weak-hearted.
It's just a few pieces of paper, and everything is swindled.
