Chapter 069: Strange Winter Lotus

"What's even stranger is that," Yue Xi said while eating the fruit, "Brother Lone Shadow also told me that the prince did not buy maids outside during this time, and that winter lotus was not sent by the prince. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Jingjing frowned: "Could it be that there is something Miao Miao is hiding from me? ”

"Maybe there's some secret between them. ”

Yue Xi said casually, but it evoked a terrible thought of Cheng Jingjing in the past. After a moment of deep thought, she decided to test the winter lotus herself.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door of the room, and she hurriedly hid the small paper figure in her hand under the tablecloth, and asked outside, "Who, I'm going to take a nap, and I'll talk about it at night." ”

"It's me. ”

Hearing Cheng Jingjing's voice, her heart jumped, and then she said, "Come in, why are you looking for me at this time." ”

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you. Cheng Jingjing pushed the door in, and saw Wen Miao sitting alone in the room, so she asked, "Where did your personal maid go?"

"Oh, she went out to help me make medicine, and my throat has been uncomfortable for the past few days, so the doctor prescribed some medicine to clear my throat. ”

"Why don't you tell me when you're uncomfortable?" Cheng Jingjing looked at her dissatisfied: "You and my sister, you have to hide this kind of thing from me when you are sick?"

"I don't want you to worry," Wen Miao chuckled: "Besides, I'll just handle this kind of trivial matter myself, and it's not a child who wants you to worry about it all day." ”

"Miao, tell me honestly, what's going on with that winter lotus?"

Suddenly, Cheng Jingjing looked at her with a serious face, Wen Miao thought that her relationship with Zhuang Hanxue had been discovered, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say for a while.

She ...... What's wrong with her?" After a long time, Wen Miao asked nervously.

"That person's origin is too strange," Cheng Jingjing said in a low voice: "No one in the palace knows her, and Lone Ying said that the prince didn't send her over, you are simple-minded, I am a little worried about your safety, so I thought that I would come over and meet her to see if I could ask for a clue, but I didn't expect her to be there." ”

"So you're worried about this...... Wen Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and pretended to be helpless and said: "I can't hide it from you now, in fact, Dong Lian is my good sister who was relieved in the Qinglou." ”

"Qinglou?!" Cheng Jingjing opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yes," Wen Miao stood up and said slowly: "This girl has a poor background, and she was destroyed by the guests to the point of incompleteness, and when I met her during the New Year, I have been thinking about waiting for the opportunity to take her back to the palace." Now that there are more people on our side, I thought that there would be one more person that others would not know, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you......"

"I see, no wonder I saw that girl was not simple, it turned out to be a poor person from the Qinglou. ”

Cheng Jingjing said apologetically: "Don't blame me for being suspicious, since I was played around by that Zhuang Hanxue, I think everyone looks like a bad person." Now that I understand, I will never doubt her again. ”

"It's okay," Wen Miao smiled and said, "It's all my fault for hiding from you, if there is anything unclear in the future, you must come and ask me, you and I are good sisters, and we shouldn't hide anything from each other." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Jingjing showed a pleasant smile on her face, and looked at Wen Miao with great trust.

Seeing that the doubts in her heart had been solved, she got up and left, and it was not good to disturb Wen Miao's nap. Soon after she left, she saw Dong Lian push the door in, and said to Wen Miao: "Mrs. Wen, Princess Zhuang asked me to tell you that I will take Cheng Jingjing to the Beijing Yarn Washing Workshop tomorrow morning." ”

"What kind of place is that?" asked Wen Miao, puzzled.

I don't know what bad thoughts Zhuang Hanxue had, and what unsightly things she asked her to do.

"Madame, don't worry, it's just a place where some poor people set up small shops to sell things," Donglian said: "You just need to take Cheng Jingjing to walk around there and walk around, and Princess Zhuang has her own arrangements for other things." ”

"It's just that simple?"

"Yes, but the princess also ordered a small thing, she said that if you meet someone who is eight points similar to Cheng Jingjing's previous appearance, you must remember to remind Cheng Jingjing and let the two of them meet. ”

Wen Miao listened to what she said suspiciously, although she was suspicious in her heart, she still nodded and agreed.

The reason why she kept Donglian was just to keep track of Zhuang Hanxue's vicious woman's every move, and when she collected all the evidence of the crime, it was the day she stepped down.

The reason why she didn't tell Cheng Jingjing Donglian's identity was that she didn't want to make any extraneous branches. What's more, they are no longer good sisters now, and in the end, either you die or I live, and there will always be only one person left in this Anwang Mansion.

The clumps of yin fire rose in Wen Miao's eyes, and at this time, she was like a snake silently sharpening its fangs in the dark, just waiting for the time to be ripe to kill all the prey together.

Cheng Jingjing has never been to the west of the capital.

It was not populated by nobles and nobles in the east, but by ordinary people and merchants. There is a Suzaku Street on the east and west sides, and the distribution between the rich and the poor is particularly obvious.

"Jingjing, come and see this," Wen Miao happily beckoned to her in front of a small stall: "This sachet is really beautifully embroidered, and there is a lively little tiger on it." ”

Cheng Jingjing walked over and took a look, and sure enough, it was a delicate gadget, so she paid for it and gave it to Wen Miao.

They are much more prosperous now than before, because Prince An finds some excuses to reward them with gold and silver from time to time, and they don't have to worry about having no money to spend.

The two of them walked around the east and west of the workshop, and unconsciously came to the yarn washing workshop in Donglian's mouth. Wen Miao looked around left and right, and didn't seem to see the person Zhuang Hanxue was referring to.

Maybe it was God's own arrangement, Cheng Jingjing was suddenly attracted by a handkerchief on a stall when she was strolling, she picked up a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossom magpies and asked, "Is this your own embroidery? How much is it?"

"Ten pennies, if the lady likes it, it can be cheaper. ”

A rather young voice came from overhead, Cheng Jingjing picked up the handkerchief and said while taking out the money: "Can it be so cheap, can it be less?" I have ten taels of silver here, all for you." ”

"This is absolutely not good, Miss should give me ten wen, if it is found by the government, you will have to eat a stick." ”

The man pushed the money back, and Cheng Jingjing looked up and almost screamed in surprise. She still thought that she had seen the hell, why did this person look so much like her disfigured self before her disfigurement?

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" the woman said with hesitation when she saw her stunned appearance, "But what's wrong with this handkerchief?"

"No, no," Cheng Jingjing looked at her carefully, and asked hesitantly, "Do you know a person named Xiaojing?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "I've never known it, I've never heard of it." ”
