53
Early in the morning of the second day, Ning Miao went to Xu Huasheng's yard, and after a while, Xu Huasheng's body also recovered a lot, and he was not weak when he just gave birth to a stillbirth, but the whole person was no longer as bright as before, and when he saw Ning Miao, he just glanced at it, and then moved his gaze back.
Ning Miao didn't care, she asked someone to bring a chair, sat down in front of the bed, and didn't greet Xu Huasheng, she directly took out the silk flowers that Xu Huashang gave her before, and asked under Xu Huasheng's puzzled gaze: "The imperial doctor said that there is a nepeta on it, did you get it?" β
Xu Huashang was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused, not as if he was faking: "What is that, I haven't done it." β
Ning Miao raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "I also think you're not so stupid, even if you want to calculate people, the first person to calculate should be me, not Zhang." β
Xu Huashang sent the silk flowers directly to her yard that day, so Xu Huashang was not sure that she would definitely bring the silk flowers with her, if Xu Huashang really wanted to calculate her, this method was too clumsy.
Hearing this, Xu Huashang tilted his head to one side: "I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't thought about who to calculate." β
Ning Miao didn't mind Xu Huasheng's denial, and said lightly: "No matter what plan you had before, it didn't work out anyway, I don't care about you, if you really feel sorry for the child in your belly, it's best to think about who touched your silk flower, the silk flower will make the cat crazy, which is why the cat suddenly pounced on Zhang's that day." β
Xu Huashang was stunned for a long time, until Ning Miao was about to lose patience, Xu Huashang suddenly spoke: "That child is the first child between me and my cousin, I used to look forward to him coming to this world, I am so happy to be pregnant with this child, but cousin, he is not so happy, and even sometimes I think, maybe he doesn't want this child at all, maybe this child is just a burden for him, he doesn't look forward to the arrival of this child at all." β
"So, you want to kill this unborn child." Ning Miao's eyebrows and eyes froze.
"Nope!" Xu Huashang suddenly shouted excitedly, "I didn't, I never thought about it like this, if it wasn't for the doctor, how could I have that thought." Speaking of this, Xu Huashang sobbed, paused, she looked up at Ning Miao: "The silk flower was given to me by my mother, and then it has been received by Atie beside me, Arti was originally a little maid in the palace, she has been with me since I got married, and I have only recently promoted her to a second-class girl, and my jewelry and other things have always been taken care of by her." β
Now that she got the clue, Ning Miao didn't linger anymore, and said to Mama Wu: "No matter what method you use, I want you to pry Ati's mouth open." β
Mama Wu had worked as an errand in the palace, and she knew a lot about the methods of extorting confessions in the palace, and it was more than enough to deal with a little maid, Ning Miao was very relieved.
Not long after Ning Miao returned to her house, Mama Wu came to spread the word that Artie had recruited. The corners of Ning Miao's mouth curved: "Go and ask Concubine Zhang to come over." β
Zhang came over quickly, still respectfully saluted Ning Miao, and then stood aside obediently, it was like this before, as long as Ning Miao didn't speak, Zhang would definitely not speak, and he didn't know much about the rules compared to Xu Huashang.
Ning Miao looked at the Zhang family and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Concubine Zhang was in a hurry to buy people's hearts in the mansion not long after she took power, and Concubine Zhang really underestimated you." The words were cold.
When Zhang heard this, he quietly squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, and pretended to be calm: "Since the concubine took over the palace, she has always acted according to the rules and never exceeded her duty. β
Ning Miao raised her eyebrows, oh, it's not bad, it's quite calm, it seems that it has grown a lot over the past few days. Ning Miao turned her head to look at Mama Wu and nodded.
After a while, Artie was escorted up, and when Zhang saw it, his face was obviously stiffened.
Ning Miao quietly saw the changes in Zhang's eyes, and a trace of disdain crossed the corners of her eyes.
"Artie, the maid next to Concubine Xu, do you know her?"
"I don't know."
Ning Miao raised her eyebrows: "I don't know, she knows you, and she has explained everything you told her to do." The nepeta on the silk flower was dyed by you you told her to dye it. β
Zhang Shi knelt down suddenly, his back straight: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, she is the maid next to Sister Xu, how can she listen to the concubine, isn't her master Sister Xu?" Could it be that the princess is willing to listen to the words of a maid, but she does not believe in the concubine. β
Ning Miao gently played with the purse on her waist and laughed: "To be honest, you two concubines don't believe it, and the concubine only believes in herself." After a pause, Ning Miao continued, "Are you curious, obviously the purse on my body has a stronger smell of nepeta, but the cat pounced on you?" β
Hearing this, the corners of Zhang's mouth trembled slightly.
Ning Miao walked up to Zhang's side and said, "When I hit you that day, I took off my purse and left it in the house." So there is nothing related to nepeta on the Japanese concubine. β
Ning Miao walked around the Zhang family again and chuckled: "Aren't you curious, why did I already know that there was something wrong with that purse." β
Ning Miao bent down and whispered in her ear: "My things have special markings, do you think you can get away with a different purse that is exactly the same?" I asked people to check it, this purse is also stained with nepeta, after Xu Huashang was born, you probably want to take the purse back, but it's a pity how can this concubine give you this opportunity. β
Zhang's face turned pale, she knew that Ning Miao was not simple, but she always thought that she could fight with Ning Miao with her intelligence, but she didn't expect to lose so badly.
"You already knew, so you deliberately watched me and Xu Huashang eat dogs, so you can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Zhang Shi suddenly looked up at Ning Miao, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the prince that you arranged all this?" β
Ning Miao chuckled twice: "Concubine Zhang, are you stupid or naΓ―ve, do you think the prince will believe you?" This matter was entrusted to me by the prince. And Concubine Ben doesn't know what you and Xu Huashang are thinking, Concubine Ben has just been vigilant all the time, and I will never take anything that has been tampered with. β
"Lord Wang, why does he trust you so much, is it because you are the concubine of the British Mansion and a concubine!" Speaking of this, Zhang's eyes were full of anger and bitterness.
She fell in love with Li Yu from the first sight, and when she thought that such a handsome and elegant person was her husband, she was full of joy, but then she was unwilling, why she was just a daughter of Hanlin, why didn't she meet him earlier, why she wasn't a concubine, this kind of unwillingness reached its peak after seeing Li Yu's treatment of Ning Miao differently, she was jealous of Xu Huashang, who was pregnant with Li Yu's child, and she hated Ning Miao who was treated differently by Li Yu, so she raised a cat and prepared a pseudonepeta, Her original plan was to let the cat pounce on Ning Miao, and then get rid of the child in Xu Huasheng's belly through Ning Miao's hands, but she knew that Ning Miao was smart, so in the past, she bribed Artie and asked her to dip the silk flowers that Xu Huashang was going to give away, and if necessary, push Xu Huashang out to take the blame, but she didn't expect that all this was seen through by Ning Miao, she was self-assured, and now she realized that she couldn't win Ning Miao at all.
Ning Miao sneered, without her acquiescence, Xu Huashang could conceive a child, since she acquiesced to the existence of this child, she naturally would not hurt this child, Li Yu did not know about this matter, he naturally would not doubt her.
"Drag Concubine Xu back to the courtyard and wait for the prince to come back to deal with it."
After Ning Miao finished speaking, she asked the maid to come up and drag Concubine Zhang down.
After dealing with the matter, Ning Miao exhaled lightly and finally solved it. Mama Wu handed over a glass of honey water at the right time, Ning Miao took it, took a sip, and closed her eyes slightly.
"If this is done by the princess, how will the princess deal with it?"
Hearing this, Ning Miao chuckled: "If it were me, I would dispose of Artie as soon as possible, as for this purse, I won't admit that it was my own hands and feet when I was killed, and the most important thing is that I must be calm and not be able to be broken through my own defense line by the other party." "So, Zhang's is still too tender.
Mama Wu smiled and nodded, these days, the Zhang family is not the only one who has grown up.
Li Yu came back that night and went to see Zhang, and then after a while, Zhang died of illness, of course, this is all a later story.
The backyard of King Xian's Mansion is not peaceful, and Shu Heng, who is in Jiangbei, has not had a peaceful life.
Shu Heng looked at the dead man who had just swallowed the poison at his feet, and said in a cold voice: "This is the first few." β
"It's the eighth." Shu Qi said respectfully.
Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, he really insisted, it seemed that his arrival did block the financial path of many people.
King Zhou carefully avoided the corpse at his feet and walked to Shu Heng's side: "Brother Shu, how long are we going to stay here?" He didn't want to live this kind of life when he was worried about his life every day, and he began to miss the days when he painted and enjoyed the scenery in Beijing.
Shu Heng didn't give King Zhou a look, but said lightly: "It's almost there." β
"You've said that many times before." Obviously, King Zhou has been deceived by Shu Heng many times, and now he doesn't believe Shu Heng's words at all, but except for Shu Heng, he can't find anyone else to ask.
Shu Heng didn't even look at King Zhou, walked straight into the house, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood-stained sword in his hand, those mountain bandits should not be afraid, what they really have to be careful about are those officials who are not clean, they can do anything for money. After wiping the sword, Shu Heng touched his heart, and he didn't know if Ning Xi was doing well in the capital, and whether he was bullied.
And Ning Xi, who was eating the sour plum juice made for her in the yard, suddenly sneezed, and the sour plum juice in Ning Xi's hand was hurriedly collected, and Ning Xi glanced at him and said: "I said before that Mrs. can't drink anymore, what should I do if I drink too much of this thing and get cold." β
Ning Xi looked at the increasingly hot day, and complained very much in her heart, not only did she not eat ice on such a hot day, but now she was not even allowed to drink sour plum juice, and she really couldn't live this day. I don't know if the weather in Jiangbei is also so hot. (.)
