Chapter 220: Broken Wings
"You-" Ling Man saw that he was at a loss, so he threw down and said ruthlessly: "Our Royal Highness just saw that the fourth prince was hungry and kindly gave him some food, how can you say that His Royal Highness's kind act is guilty, I don't want to reason with you, everything is still waiting for the emperor to come back!" ”
"That's exactly what I mean."
After Hua Pan finished speaking, she walked out with Xu'er in her arms, she couldn't let him stay in this dangerous place anymore. Regardless of whether the third prince did it intentionally or unintentionally, this matter must be reported to the noble concubine.
On the solemn altar, several enlightened monks are chanting sutras above, while others are sitting below praying.
"Niangniang, something happened to the fourth prince."
At this time, a palace maid from Luan En Palace bowed her head and bent over to Cheng Jingjing's side, and said in a low voice: "Let me come over and tell you that the fourth prince almost ate an almond by mistake, saying that it was the unintentional act of the third prince." ”
"What?!" Cheng Jingjing's face showed an anxious look: "How is Xu'er now?" Why did the third prince feed Xu'er that dangerous thing?! ”
"Niangniang is angry," said the palace maid, "Your Royal Highness is safe and sound now. I heard that the third prince saw His Royal Highness crying, so he kindly fed him an almond to eat. ”
"Kind," Cheng Jingjing sneered, and turned her head to look at Wen Miao not far away: "If it were someone else's palace, it would not pursue this matter, and when the festival is over, you will let the painting side carry Xu'er to the emperor." ”
"The slave knows." The palace maid retreated.
At this time, Wen Miao turned her head to look at this side, and it seemed that she also sensed that something was wrong. Cheng Jingjing looked at the altar calmly, just as if nothing had happened.
Wen Miao, a slut, did not hesitate to use her child to attack Xu'er, so don't blame her for being ruthless and breaking her wings.
It was not until the evening that this spring festival came to an end. The old host sent the group from the palace to the gate of the temple, and chatted with Yang An about Buddhism before parting.
"Mother, you're back."
Just as Yang An and the old host were discussing the matter of the spring festival in the coming year, they saw that the painting was holding the four princes and came over anxiously.
"What's the matter," Cheng Jingjing pretended to be puzzled and asked, "But Xu'er is uncomfortable?" ”
"Niangniang, the fourth prince he, he ......" The painting suddenly knelt on the ground, and blamed himself deeply: "It's all to blame for the poor care of the slaves and maids, His Royal Highness was almost fed almonds by the third prince, and now His Royal Highness is still uncomfortable, I don't know if he swallowed something else." ”
"What's going on?" Cheng Jingjing hurriedly took Xu'er and said anxiously: "This palace asked you to take care of Your Highness, how could this kind of thing happen." If you eat that almond, I don't know what will happen to Your Highness! ”
"Sister, you palace maid is too careless," the queen walked over with someone on the side, looked at the four princes with an inappropriate face and said: "This little baby swallowing a foreign body is an extremely dangerous thing, if it wasn't discovered early, I'm afraid it would have suffocated to death." ”
"Where is the Third Prince!"
Hearing the queen's words, Yang An had already sunk his face. At this time, the third prince Yang Yin hid behind his mother in fear, and only then did he realize that he had made a big disaster.
"Your Majesty is angry," Wen Miao didn't know that things would develop like this, and he interceded for his son anxiously: "Yin'er is still young, and he doesn't know what he is doing at all, I am afraid that when I saw that the emperor's brother was hungry, I took my favorite almonds to him, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”
"The third prince is young and ignorant, and the palace maids around him are also ignorant?" Yang An said coldly: "Who is the person who takes care of the three princes today, stand up for me!" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's a slave ......"
Ling Man stood out of the crowd tremblingly, not knowing what kind of fate he would end. She secretly looked at her mother for help, not wanting to be sent to prison like this.
Without waiting for Wen Miao to speak, Cheng Jingjing on the side preemptively said: "Xiaoman, you have been with your sister since the palace, why did you be so careless to let the third prince do such a terrible thing today, if it wasn't for the early discovery of the painting, Xu'er in this palace would not know where to go now." ”
After she finished speaking, she hid her face and cried, Yang An saw her palpitations, and comforted her in a good voice: "Don't be too sad, I won't let this happen again." The palace maid who takes care of the three princes is not in a good position, and she can no longer stay in the palace in the future, so the queen will see where she still needs manpower and send her out of the palace. ”
"The concubine is the order."
"Your Majesty, please let Xiao Man go for a while," Wen Miao said grief-stricken at this time: "Xiao Man has been following the concubine, and she is half the sister of the concubine, Your Majesty will send her out of the palace like this, so that the concubine can live with peace of mind in the future." Yin'er has been taken care of by Xiaoman since she was a child, and there is no one in this world who is more suitable to accompany her in this palace. ”
"Sister don't worry," the queen said slowly: "The most indispensable thing in this palace is the palace maids who serve people, they have learned the way of service since childhood, and they will definitely not be worse than your personal maid, sister." At that time, the palace will arrange a few people to go to Jinle Palace, and they will definitely take care of their sister and the third prince, and there will be no such terrible accident as today. ”
"Today's things will be done according to what the queen says, and Concubine Xian doesn't have to intercede for her anymore."
After Yang An finished speaking, he turned around and left ruthlessly, and he was not half shaken by Wen Miao's words. Under the blood-red sunset, some people are happy and some are worried, Cheng Jingjing looked at the warmth of the six gods and no master, and her heart was happy for a while. However, this is only the beginning, and in the near future she will leave her with nothing, begging for her forgiveness like a beggar.
After returning to the palace, Cheng Jingjing called the painting to her side. At this time, it was close to midnight, and the entire Luan En Palace was already immersed in sleep.
"What's the urgency of calling the slave to come?"
She came to the dormitory with sleepy eyes, knowing that unless the matter was urgent, her master would not call her in the middle of the night.
"Do you know who in this palace is most in need of silver?" Cheng Jingjing asked, standing behind the flickering candlelight.
The warm yellow light illuminated half of her face, but it couldn't hide the chill in her eyes. Huabian thought for a while and replied: "As far as the slave maid knows, there are many people in this palace who are willing to take money to do things, but what kind of person does Niang Niang want to find?" ”
"This palace is looking for someone who behaves neatly," Cheng Jingjing said lightly: "It's best to have a sword shadow like light, and you can take the opponent's head down with one move." ”
"Niangniang, but you want to find someone to take Ling Man's life?" The painter asked in a low voice.
She is Cheng Jingjing's most trusted person in this palace, and she is also the person who can guess other people's thoughts the most, Cheng Jingjing nodded and said: "You go and find such a person for this palace, he can have as much silver as he wants, but he must take off her head as soon as Ling Man leaves the palace." ”
