Chapter 161: Unexpected
Every time something happens in the palace, it is either with Queen Pei or with Prince Guo. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Mulan didn't have a good impression of these two, and when she answered, she was a little lacking in interest, "Is it Queen Pei or Prince Guo?"
"Neither Empress Pei nor Prince Guo. Zhao Chonghua waved his hand and sent the girls out, only to reach her ear, and said in a low voice, "It's the show girl who has an accident." ”
This time, the participants in the draft were limited to more than five grades in the capital, and there were many people like Mulan and Zhao Chonghua who were exempted from the selection, and a batch of them were eliminated from the primary selection, and a total of less than 30 people finally entered the palace.
All the show girls live in the Haoxiu Palace, and they learn the etiquette rules with the grandmothers in the palace for two months, and the third month is the right choice. Now that she has been in the palace for less than half a month, she should have just started to learn the rules, and Mulan really can't think of anything to do with the show girl.
With Huang Li in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "Is Huang Li okay?"
"I don't know if she's okay, but it's not her who has an accident. After Zhao Chonghua said this, seeing that Mulan breathed a sigh of relief, and showed that casual expression again, he poured out what he had heard.
It stands to reason that if there is no special reason, the show girl is not allowed to leave the Maoxiu Palace at will. However, the candidates were all teenage girls, and it was a lively and fun time, full of curiosity about the palace, and a few bold ones took advantage of the housekeeper's aunt break and sneaked out.
Originally, I just wanted to go to the imperial garden to open my eyes, but I didn't expect the palace to be so big, with high walls connected to high walls, and palace pavilions next to palace pavilions. In order to avoid human eyes, they twisted and turned, and somehow they scattered.
When the housekeeper took the roll call, she found that the number of people was wrong, lest Queen Pei ask her about her dereliction of duty, she didn't dare to report it, so she privately dispatched a few people to go out to find it. Sneaked out three girls, only two were found.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, there was still no trace of that one, and the housekeeper saw that the matter was almost overwhelmed, so she hurriedly reported to Zhu Guifei. Zhu Guifei was afraid that Empress Pei would make it difficult for her through this matter, so who would care?
The housekeeper knew that if she stabbed Queen Pei, she would inevitably die, and she committed suicide in despair.
When the palace people found the body of the housekeeper and traced it to the Haoxiu Palace, it was involved in the loss of the show girl, and the second watch was over. When the saint received the news, he was furious and mobilized a large number of palace people, the Imperial Forest Army, and Ouchi guards to search. It wasn't until the third watch that the person was found.
The girl was unconscious, disheveled, in a remote palace. Queen Pei ordered two old ladies to inspect and found that she was no longer a virgin.
The men who can walk in the inner court, except for the saints, are the three princes. The saint would not do such a beastly act, and the crown prince and Prince Yu are also clean people, so there is only one Prince Guo left.
The Holy Admiral Prince Guo came forward for interrogation, but Prince Guo flatly denied it, saying that he had never even seen the girl.
Zhu Guifei also shouted for her son, saying that Prince Guo rested in her palace after having lunch with her at noon, and rested until the evening, and then returned to the East Fifth Institute after dinner, and it was impossible to appear in that remote palace.
Another palace person testified, and the saint had to put aside his suspicions for the time being, and ordered the imperial doctor to wake up the girl as soon as possible to find out the truth.
"Do you know who that girl is?" At the critical moment, Zhao Chonghua sold Guan Zi again.
Mulan shook her head, indicating that she couldn't guess.
"It's the girl of the Xu family. Zhao Chonghua said word by word.
Mulan was taken aback, "Then what's wrong with her now?"
"I said I was so frightened that I'm still unconscious. Although Zhao Chonghua doesn't like Miss Xu, but a little girl of the same age as herself encounters this kind of misfortune, she can't gloat anyway, "Poor people, Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu are afraid that they don't know about this yet." ”
Mulan was also in a heavy mood, and she didn't know what to say.
The two of them were silent, and after a long time, Zhao Chonghua said angrily: "It must be Prince Guo's bastard!"
"The matter has not been clarified, you can not talk nonsense, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. Mulan reminded her.
"I know, I'm just going to talk to you. Zhao Chonghua wrinkled his nose, and said fortunately, "It's a shame that neither of us entered the palace." ”
Mulan sighed and asked, "How do you know?"
There is such a big thing happening in the palace, it is difficult to hide it secretly, and people like the Chang family and the Zhao family can find out as soon as they ask. But after all, there are some unsavory things here, and the Zhao family will not tell it to a girl who has not left the cabinet.
"My mother was talking to my sister-in-law, and I accidentally asked me to hear it. Zhao Chonghua stroked his chest, "I was scared when I heard about this at first glance, so I hurriedly ran to find you." ”
Mulan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Come, drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock." ”
Zhao Chonghua took it and took a big sip, then remembered and asked, "When I came in, I heard the girl in your yard talking about what is not first-class, second-class is not second-class, what does this mean?"
"It's the new rule I'm telling you. Mulan explained to her, "From now on, there is no one, two, or three in my yard, and all of them will get the same monthly money." Those who do well on errands can receive an extra reward, and those who do not do well on errands can only get the lowest monthly money. ”
It was the first time for Zhao Chonghua to hear that girls were not equal, and his eyes couldn't help but widen, "This is okay?"
Mulan smiled at her, "It's only temporary, after three months, I will reclassify them according to their performance and arrange suitable errands for them." lest anyone steal and play tricks, taking the monthly money of a first-class girl, but not doing what a first-class girl should do. ”
"Sounds interesting. Zhao Chonghua asked her to arouse her interest, "Take a look at the rules you drafted, and I'll give it a try when I go back." ”
"The situation between the two of us is different, you just toss, and Mrs. Zhao carefully punished you for thinking about it behind closed doors. Mulan half-jokingly persuaded her to dispel her thoughts, and the two of them gossiped for a while, and it was noon.
After lunch, Zhao Chonghua hurriedly went back to the house, and said to Mulan that he would come over after hearing any news. However, without waiting for her to inquire, the news that the girl of the Xu family had an accident in the palace spread.
Miss Xu was in a coma for two whole days before she woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she was about to die, but fortunately the palace people stopped her. How did Empress Pei and Concubine Zhu ask her, she just gritted her teeth and refused to say which one had ruined her innocence.
It is not a way to go on like this, so the saint thought about it again and again, and summoned Xu Hanlin alone.
Xu Hanlin couldn't be more upright than a person, when he heard that his daughter had such a thing, he was struck by lightning, and he fainted. Wake up and kneel on the ground and cry and beg the Holy God to give his daughter a death to the full name of the festival.
The saint would not act like this, so he persuaded Xu Hanlin to meet Miss Xu and ask who had touched her body, and it was still too late to remedy it.
Xu Hanlin was reluctant to give up his daughter, so he met with his daughter according to the words of the saint.
Miss Xu finally spat on her father, but the person who confessed surprised everyone.
