In the steamy hot spring, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei soaked in it, looking at each other affectionately, as if there were only each other in this world, and after a long time, the man's deep magnetic voice came.

"Lady, don't do such dangerous things in the future, remember?"

Cai Wei smiled and said innocently: "I don't have the ability to predict the future, how do I know that the rockery will be couched!" ”

Nangong Yi raised his hand and wiped his handsome face, leaned back, sat on the warm jade stool in the water, and said, "Why did the rockery happen to collapse the moment you entered?" Don't you think it's weird? Could it be that someone has done it? ”

Cai Wei shook her head and said, "What kind of place is the Liguo Mansion, who can have such a great ability to do something there?" Besides, the rockery is huge, if I really have the ability to make the rockery collapse the moment I enter, I probably have the ability to directly enter the palace to kill me! ”

Nangong Yimo frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "What you said also makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure out what is wrong!" ”

"It's Ning Huaixiu, something is wrong!"

Cai Wei said: "If there is something wrong, it must be something wrong with Ning Huaixiu, I seriously suspect that she has been manipulated, and the person behind her is very powerful, has the ability to predict the future, and knows the impending disaster." And that person must have wanted to kill me, so he specially arranged for Ning Huaixiu to lure me to the rockery, intending to kill me by taking advantage of the collapse of the rockery; Also, the last time the earth dragon turned over, it must have been that person who knew in advance that the earth dragon was about to turn over, so he asked me to go to the mountain to save people at that moment, and wanted to stone me to death in the earthquake; Besides, that lightning caught fire, I think it should have been the person who deliberately induced me to go, if there was no chrysanthemum's carriage that day or Mo Zili's entanglement, I would have been burned to ashes......"

Before Cai Wei's words were finished, the man's face had become very ugly, he couldn't tolerate someone plotting to kill Cai Wei, it was even more intolerable than assassinating him, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going to go out, ask someone to take Ning Huaixiu's slut, torture her, and definitely try the demon behind her!" ”

"No!"

Cai Wei saw Nangong Yi standing up, her strong chest muscles were undulating, and her face was already with obvious anger, so she gently pasted it up, and said softly: "Ning Huaixiu seems to be soft and weak, but in fact she is scheming, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived by her, if you just torture her, if she is in a hurry, and she bites indiscriminately, won't many innocent people suffer?" It's better to use Gu Daxian's ecstasy medicine, as long as one pack, she can tell the truth obediently, and the master behind her can't run! ”

When Nangong Yi heard this, he didn't have the heart to take a bath anymore, so he had to go out now and summon Ning Huaixiu into the palace to interrogate him clearly.

Cai Wei grabbed him and said with a smile: "Look at you, I haven't slept for a day and a night, my eyes are red, it's better to sleep first, take care of my spirits, and it's not too late to interrogate her tomorrow, she can't run anyway." ”

The man couldn't wait, and when he thought that someone was plotting to kill his wife, he hated to pull that person out immediately, cramp and skin him, and crush his bones and scatter ashes.

"No, let's go, I can't wait!"

Cai Wei didn't want him to go out for interrogation immediately, because she felt sorry for the man, and she was also worried about his body, if the person behind it was found, the next arrest and interrogation would have to be a series of things, and the man was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep again this night, so she laughed maliciously.

"Your Majesty, it's a big night, you can't wait to summon people into the palace, aren't you afraid of being suspected by others of having ulterior motives?"

"I would have ulterior motives for her?"

Nangong Yi was simply laughed at angrily: "She can't even compare to a single hair of yours, how can I think of her?" If it were you, would you give up the fairy peach and gnaw a rotten fruit? ”

Hearing the man compare Ning Huaixiu to a rotten fruit, Cai Wei smiled unconsciously: "I think Ning Huaixiu was in love with you at the beginning, if she knew that she was just a rotten fruit in your heart, maybe how uncomfortable it would be!" ”

Nangong Yi said: "I don't bother to care if she is uncomfortable or not, I only know that if our speculation is confirmed, I will definitely make her more uncomfortable!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he sat down, and did not go out to interrogate Ning Huaixiu in Zhang Luo, in case it was really like her mother said, summoning Ning Huaixiu into the palace in the middle of the night, and was misunderstood by the people, he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

So, after taking a comfortable bath, he went to bed with his lady and went to sleep sweetly......

Early the next morning

Nangong Yi's family, who had slept well and eaten, came out of the space, the man got dressed and went to the court, and Cai Wei took the three buns that were tightly covered to play in the snow.

The space is like spring all year round, there is no rain and snow, the children were still young before, Cai Wei was afraid of freezing them, and they have not been exposed to ice and snow, now they are almost three years old, the body's resistance is much stronger than when they were young, there should be no problem in contacting ice and snow, so take advantage of the snow today, and deliberately take them out to play.

It's cold and dry outside, and the air that comes out has turned into white fog, the capital is located in the south of Dajin, so cold weather is rare, and there is not much snow, it is rare to have a snow, and everyone braves the cold to come out to play.

When Cai Wei rushed to the imperial garden with the children, she happened to meet some palace maids who were not on duty and were building snowmen and playing. Seeing that the queen mother came out with the little prince and the little princess, the palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "See the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose, see Her Royal Highness the eldest prince, Her Royal Highness the second prince, see Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

"Hurry up, it's icy and snowy, don't get cold for the New Year!"

Cai Wei smiled lightly and let everyone get up, pointed to the snowman that had not yet been built and said to the three buns, "You guys should also go and build them together, it's very interesting!" ”

When the three buns saw the round and chubby snowman, they were very curious, and immediately ran over to help build the snowman.

Cai Wei said to the palace maids: "Don't pestle you here, it's rare for everyone to rest, go play!" ”

The palace maids are all teenagers, and it is the time to be playful, and when they hear the queen's order, they all run to play with a smile.

Cai Wei's method of managing the harem is different from the way the queens of the past dynasties manage the harem, she does not advocate that the palace maids and eunuchs are submissive, and seeing the master is like seeing a cat and mouse, he thinks that as long as everyone does their job well when they are on duty, they can do what they like at will when they rest, of course, the premise is that they can not violate the palace rules.

Therefore, the palace is no longer as solemn and lifeless as before, and some cheerful laughter can often be heard, everyone can talk casually, laugh, as long as everyone does not play too much, the aunts in the palace will never interfere.

The current selection of palace maids is still in accordance with the system set by Cai Wei, once a year in the nearby state capital, the palace maids have a monthly salary after entering the palace, the lowest palace maids can be that to 500 wen per month, after returning home at the age of eighteen, they can bring back a small dowry, if they do well in the palace, they are promoted to female officials, and they will become a little rich woman directly after they go back.

Therefore, the people now are no longer as afraid of the draft as before, afraid that their daughters will enter the palace, and every year when it comes to the draft, those who have school-age daughters at home go to the government to sign up early, for fear of leaving their daughters behind.

Those palace maids who came out of the palace at the age of eighteen, after returning home, their identities have also risen significantly, not only because they brought back a considerable amount of silver, but also because they have been in the palace for several years, they have been constantly learning, mastering a lot of knowledge and skills, broadening their horizons, improving their ability and self-confidence, so that their bearing is different from before entering the palace.

The number of eunuchs in the palace has also decreased a lot compared with before, and there are more eunuchs in poor homes, and now the people of the Great Jin Kingdom are getting richer and richer, and the people have money, who is willing to send their own son to be the eunuch who has no roots.

In addition, Cai Wei felt that castration was a very cruel act, similar to the daughter of Mengnu, a good boy, because the family was poor, he would suffer this crime, it was too cruel and too inhumane, so she deliberately discussed with the Ministry of Internal Affairs that when entering the harem eunuchs, it was not possible to cut the eunuchs, and all the eunuchs were replaced by young condemned prisoners.

She is not afraid of the anger of the death row prisoners, nor is she afraid of what they are doing, the old turtle has medicine to control people's will, and those death row prisoners who have been cut and castrated will be immediately arranged to take medicine to control their minds, so that they are timid and cowardly, and become a qualified eunuch.

The current palace, under the management of Cai Wei, has presented a joyful and upward atmosphere, laughing and laughing every day, Cai Wei feels much better than the lifeless palace in the past!

She stood under the pine tree, watching the children and the palace maids playing happily, and her heart warmed, such a day is really good. Although there is no high-tech modern life in the previous life, and there are not as many beautiful and fun things as in the previous life, what are those things compared to family affection?

She only hopes that she can go on like this for a long time, and she will have no regrets in this life, and she will not let go of those who want to destroy her happiness. She had already agreed with Nangong Yi that when Nangong Yi went down to court in a while, she summoned Ning Huaixiu into the palace to interrogate her, and when she understood the real murderer behind the scenes, she would definitely not be soft!

At this time, the voice of the old turtle came from the space: "Master, that girl is about to wake up, do you still need to continue to drug her?" ”

Cai Wei said: "No need, she's fine anyway, I'll get her out later, and I won't trouble you!" ”

After speaking, she instructed Zhaoqiu and Xiaozhi to watch the buns here, and she went back to the palace alone.

In the morning, she had already sent someone back to her mother's house to report her safety, and by the way, she also sent someone to Shen Mansion to inform her, and when the person who went came back, she said that after the accident last night, Mrs. Shen Cui was already in a hurry to fall ill, although Lord Shen could barely hold on, but his mouth was full of froths, and he was about to collapse. At first glance, I heard that my daughter was still alive, and she was in the palace, so she cried for Le, and was about to enter the palace to pick up her daughter, but was stopped by the eunuch who reported the news.

Since Chrysanthemum is about to wake up, let's send her back as soon as possible, and save her father and mother from worrying.

Back to Shouxian Palace, she entered the side hall in the east, released the chrysanthemums, looked at the time, and it was almost time for the men to disperse, so she sent a person to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pass Ning Huaixiu into the palace.

The eunuch was ordered to go out, and Cai Wei asked Chunliu to bring some peppermint oil, smeared a little on the sun of the chrysanthemum, and took some water from the space spirit spring, and fed the chrysanthemum to drink it himself.

After a while, Chrysanthemum's eyelids trembled lightly twice, and she gradually opened her eyes.

"Chrysanthemum, are you awake? What do you think? Cai Wei put the cup on the small table next to the bed, and leaned over to help her tuck the quilt.

Chrysanthemum opened her eyes, looked around blankly, and said, "Cai Wei, I'm not dreaming, where is this?" Why am I here? ”

Cai Wei said: "This is the palace, you passed out in the cave of the rockery of the Liguo Mansion, I saved you, and now you are fine!" ”

As soon as Cai Wei mentioned the cave of the Liguo Mansion, Chrysanthemum seemed to think of something, and she became excited, she struggled to sit up, and said loudly: "Cai Wei, Sister Ning, no, it's that Ning Huaixiu, she is not a good person, she calculated me, have I been given something wrong?" ”

"Chrysanthemum, don't get excited, don't worry, you haven't been anything, I went in time."

Cai Wei clapped her hand and comforted her softly: "That disciple is dead, you don't have to be afraid anymore......"

Under Cai Wei's appeasement, Chrysanthemum's love gradually calmed down, she intermittently told Cai Wei what happened yesterday, and finally, hatefully said: "I didn't offend her, why did she frame me like that, why did she do that?" ”

Cai Wei sighed, and said with a look of guilt: "Probably to use you against me, it's the friendship between us that drags you down." ”

"Huh?"

Chrysanthemum was stupid, and she didn't understand what their friendship had to do with Ning Huaixiu's calculations about her.

Cai Wei said: "This matter has not yet been decided, I will sue you when the interrogation is understood, for now, you should hurry up and go, your parents are going crazy for you." ”

At the mention of her parents, Chrysanthemum immediately couldn't care about anything, said something to Cai Wei, and went back in a hurry.

Cai Wei returned to the main hall, and just when Nangong Yi came back, Cai Wei told Nangong Yi what Chrysanthemum said.

After hearing this, Nangong Yi sneered and said, "It seems that there is really something wrong with this Ning Huaixiu!" ”

Ningfuli

Ning Huaixiu learned that Empress Mu had returned to the palace safe and sound, and sent a decree to let her enter the palace, she was immediately stunned, and her eyes were about to fall out of her eyes. How so? She saw her enter the cave with her own eyes, and she also saw the rockery collapse with her own eyes, how could she be okay? It's impossible, it's completely impossible!

"Father-in-law, is it really the queen mother who passed me on?"

She confirmed it again, and took off a golden beaded shrimp bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch.

The eunuch took the heavy bracelet, accepted it with a smile, and said, "Miss Ning, it is indeed the queen's mother who personally sent a decree to let you enter the palace, you go and prepare quickly, and go to the palace with the miscellaneous family!" ”

Ning Huaixiu's face turned white, the cold sweat on her head was rubbing out, she shook weakly, if it wasn't for the personal maid who supported her in time, she almost fell.

"How is that possible? Impossible...... There must be a mistake......" she repeated mechanically, eyes straight.

"Oh, miss, what's wrong with you!" The girl held her, felt her trembling and weakness, and cried out anxiously.

"I.... It's okay......"

She tugged at the corners of her mouth extremely reluctantly, and dragged her weak body inside to change her clothes.

Her father has not yet gone to court, and she has never mentioned her rebirth to her mother, and there is no one to discuss when something happens to her son, Ning Huaixiu is really scared, she is simply scattered, and her heart and soul are devastated.

It's terrible, the queen must have some spell like the rumors outside, otherwise she would have died when she assassinated her for the first time, and that time on Qixia Mountain, she had absolutely no chance to escape, and she was able to escape the traps she set again and again, which is enough to prove that those rumors outside are not groundless.

What to do?

At this time, the queen must have doubted her, otherwise she would not have passed her into the palace, and that Shen Juhua, if she was also saved by the queen, she must have already told the queen about her overturning, with the queen's cleverness, she should have thought that she used Shen Juhua to lure her into the bait, what should she say to cover up this matter?

"Huaixiu, hurry up, don't rub it in, that father-in-law is urging outside again!"

Mrs. Ning pushed the door and walked in, she didn't know that her daughter was the secret of rebirth, and she said that her daughter was the simple and flawless daughter.

When she got closer, the loving lady was startled when she saw her daughter's pale face, and exclaimed, "Oh, Huaixiu, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so bad? ”

As he spoke, he came over to touch her forehead, and found that her daughter's forehead was sweaty and her body was shaking slightly.

"What's going on? Quick, Lan'er, send someone to get the doctor—"

Mrs. Ning panicked, hurriedly wiped her daughter's forehead, and told the girl to ask for a doctor, but her daughter stopped her.

"No need, mother, I'm fine!"

She smiled reluctantly and said, "I almost fell down while walking just now, and I was scared!" ”

No matter how nervous she is now, she must muster up her spirits to see the queen, not only to see, but also to try her best to dispel the queen's doubts about her, otherwise, if she doesn't go, she will definitely be recognized by the queen and the emperor as a weak heart and dare not go to see her, and when the time comes, I am afraid that a big disaster will come.

Thinking about it, she forced herself to calm down, and said to her personal maid: "Hurry up and put on makeup for me, don't let the queen wait in a hurry!" ”

In order to make her face look normal, when she put on makeup, she deliberately poured a lot of powder on her face, and Mrs. Ning saw that she was back to normal, so she put her mind at ease and hurried to the front hall to talk to the eunuch.

After picking up, she took the girl's hand and walked out, the carriage outside had already been prepared, Ning Huaixiu got into the car, and went to the palace with a sense of anxiety......

Dripping water into ice in Qingxian County, the north, a magnificent carriage stopped at the door of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, the curtain was opened, and a young man in a rabbit skin walked down, he raised his head, looked upstairs and took a deep breath, and walked in.

In the flower hall, the bustard is sitting holding the hand stove, sitting on the chair and dozing off, these days are the coldest days of the year in the north, the weather is bitter and cold, the men have rested to find flowers and ask willows, hiding at home to avoid the cold, the business of Ningxiang Pavilion has plummeted, it is not as good as before.

The door was pushed open, a cold wind blew in, the bustard opened her eyes, and saw Li Xiucai, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked in, and the bustard looked at him in surprise and said, "Li Xiucai, why are you ...... Coming back? Yo, look at your current body, where did you get rich? ”

Li Sheng walked over, arched his hand to the bustard, and said, "There is a memory of Lao's mother, and I am here to redeem myself, and I hope that my mother can fulfill her promise." ”

When the bustard heard this, her eyes rolled on Li Sheng's body, and she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Li Xiucai sit down and talk!" ”

Liu Sheng sat down, took out a silver ticket from Shun'er'er, put it on the table between him and Bustard, and said: "Last year, my mother once said that if you want to marry Yiyi in the next year, you have to take a thousand taels to shine back, and now a thousand taels are here, and I hope my mother will not break her promise!" ”

When the bustard saw the 1,000 taels of silver that Li Sheng took out, his eyes flashed, although he showed a little greed, he didn't take the silver ticket, he only said haha: "Where did Li Xiucai make a fortune, 1,000 taels were taken out so easily, it's really a three-day farewell, you should be impressed!" ”

Li Sheng said lightly: "It has nothing to do with my mother where I get rich, I just ask my mother to collect the money, return Yiyi's deed of sale to me, and then call Yiyi out, and I will take her away today!" ”

The bustard grinned and said, "What's the hurry? Yiyi is not here now, and even if you get the deed of sale, it will take a few days to get someone. ”

"Not there? Where did she go? ”

When Li Sheng heard that Yiyi was not there, he was anxious, and he stood up suddenly, and his voice involuntarily rose a lot.

Bustard smiled: "Hey, look at your urgency, your Yiyi is fine, but I have been wrapped up by the big housekeeper of Xiaoyao Villa in the past few days, and I will send it back to you a year ago!" ”

As soon as he heard that his sweetheart was wrapped up by other men, he could think of what those Liaodan people would do to his sweetheart with his heels, Li Sheng's face showed a look that was more painful than constipation, and he said with tears in his eyes: "How can you let her be wrapped up by others?" Don't you know how perverted those Liaodan people are? ”

Bustard clapped her hands and said, "Is Li Xiucai making fun of his old body?" We are at the door, eating our daughter's, wearing our daughter's, using our daughter's, and not letting her pick up guests, is it possible to raise her as a daughter in the boudoir? ”

Li Sheng clenched his fists and said with difficulty: "Bring her back to me today, how much silver the Xiaoyao Villa paid you, I will give you the amount." ”

"Hey, Li Xiucai is really rich! Speaking of words, the bearing is different! ”

Bustard waved the handkerchief in her hand, giggled, and after laughing, she said seriously: "Li Xiucai, although we are a gateway family, we are doing an undignified skin and meat business, but we are also about credibility, since we have already talked to Xiaoyao Villa to give them Yiyi Bao for a month, if we rashly regret it, wouldn't it make us self-destruct the signboard, such an uneconomical thing, don't you do it!" ”

When Li Sheng heard this, he understood what the bustard meant, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add thirty taels to their silver!" ”

Bustard sneered and said: "Li Xiucai, you also know how domineering those Liaodan barbarians are, you let the old body help you get out of their hands, in case one accidentally offends them, my old life will be explained, and it is really impossible to put my life on the line for thirty taels of silver." ”

"Fifty taels."

Li Sheng reluctantly added twenty taels, he didn't have much money on hand, except for the 1,000 taels of money given to him by his father-in-law and mother-in-law on the day of marriage, the rest was what he earned when he was a shopkeeper in the fur shop for a few months, and he had already spent a lot on the way, and he couldn't get out more.

However, the bustard "snorted" and said mockingly: "Li Xiucai took a mere fifty taels of silver, and wanted the old body to risk his life to help you get someone back, do you value your fifty taels too much, or do you despise the old body too much, if you want me to say, you might as well wait for a few days, and when you reach twenty-nine, you will naturally send your heart and liver back, and there will be no missing piece of meat. ”

"Bang-"

Li Sheng couldn't listen anymore, slammed his fist on the table, and said forbearingly: "You say, how much silver do you need to help me bring her back?" ”

When the bustard heard this, he unequivocally stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred taels, not a penny!" ”

Although two hundred taels doesn't sound like much, it is really an astronomical amount for Li Sheng, and he can't take out two hundred taels of silver, even the fifty taels he promised before, and he has to be a rabbit skin on his body to make it up.

However, the thought that his sweetheart was being ruined under the Liaodan barbarian, his heart hurt like blood.

The hand on his knee gradually touched the mandarin duck jade pendant hanging from his waist.

The jade pendant is rewarded by the queen's mother, he and his wife have a one, although the jade pendant is not big, but it is the best white jade carved out, the craftsmanship of the famous craftsman in the palace, exquisite and unique, only such a small piece, about one or two thousand silver.

At this time, he was very embarrassed, he wanted to use this jade pendant to redeem Yiyi, but also was afraid that he would be guilty of blaspheming the reward of the queen's mother, and was hesitating, the bustard had already seen the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "For the sake of your deep affection for Yiyi, I will give you a chance, let you redeem this jade pendant, as long as Li Xiucai is willing, I will give up my old life, and I will be blamed by the group of Liaodan people, and I will bring your Yiyi back today, so that you two can get together." ”

Li Sheng was silent, rubbing the crystal white jade pendant, his face clearly hesitating!

As soon as he saw Li Sheng's expression, Bustard knew that he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Li Xiucai is reluctant to do so, it's okay, it's just that Yiyi is suffering to accompany those barbarians for a few more days, hey, if this matter is changed to other sisters, it's just that Yiyi's body is delicate, and those barbarians are like wolves and tigers, and they like a large group of people to play with one, there is a sister in Qingyifang who was tortured to death, poor Yiyi is alone in Xiaoyao Villa, there are hundreds of Liaodan men in Xiaoyao Villa, hey, That girl may not know what kind of sin she is suffering! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tendons on Li Sheng's forehead burst out, he resolutely untied the jade pendant on his waist, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Mom, let's talk ahead, I don't have any silver at the moment, for the time being, I will bet this jade pendant as 1,200 taels of silver to you, and I will redeem it when I go back to raise the silver, now please move and take Yiyi back!" ”

Bustard took the jade pendant, shone it on the sun, and saw that the jade pendant was gentle and smooth, and it was warm to the touch, which was the best warm jade in the mutton fat jade, and suddenly smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and said in a loud voice: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you wait here for the time being, and I'll help you bring Yiyi back." ”

After speaking, he told Wang Ba to go out and set up a car, and then ran back upstairs to get dressed, and then went to the direction of Xiaoyao Villa.

In the teahouse opposite, Liu Xi looked at the Ningxiang Pavilion opposite with an expressionless face, turned his head and said to one of his attendants: "Go, check what the person who went in just now is doing in it?" Find out what he has done, and come back to me without missing anything! ”

"Yes!"

The attendant arched his hands in response, turned and went out.

Liu Xi shook his head and sighed and said, "Shen Juhua, Shen Juhua, it seems that you are unladylike and married to an authentic scumbag......"
