Chapter Seventy-Five: This is King Ning's Mansion
Night, silence.
The insects in the wind seemed to be far away, and everyone seemed to hear only their own heartbeat.
The time was not long, the figure flashed in the moonlight, and a person came from the other direction, the person also looked left and right, his steps were much calmer than pink, and his body was slightly fat.
Rong Xi didn't know this person, but then she guessed who she was, Xiao'er beside her clenched her fists, her eyes almost burst into flames, and she said in a very low voice: "Miss, it's Mama Ma." β
Rong Xi nodded, and Mama Ma in the moonlight walked quickly to the bushes, and only shouted in a low pink voice, "Why did you come?" β
Mama Ma said something vaguely, I couldn't hear it clearly, the surrounding leaves rustled, and a figure was hidden under the shadow of the tree, and a cloud floated over, gently covering the moon, and the moonlight also dimmed, and the two figures under the tree became even more blurred.
Xiao'er looked at Rong Xi and wanted to rush out to arrest these two people, but she saw that Rong Xi didn't seem to have any intention of moving, so she tried her best to endure it.
Suddenly, a shocking protrusion! Under the trees in the backyard and in the closed room, the fire burst out, and more than a dozen people rushed out from different places, holding torches in their hands, like a protruding fire dragon, burning in the courtyard that seemed empty just now.
Xiao'er opened her mouth wide, Rong Xi didn't move, she narrowed her eyes slightly, the firelight reflected her cold expression, and the dark pupils reflected the firelight, as well as the faces of the two people who were stunned by the firelight.
"Come out!" A rough mother-in-law dragged Taohong and Mama Ma to the clearing, and then pushed them hard, and the two of them turned pale and trembled, and stared at the people standing under the torches with frightened eyes.
Rong Xi also saw that it was Mama Wei who had given her clothes.
She wore a dark green cardigan on her upper body, a pleated embroidered long skirt of the same color on her lower body, combed a slightly cumbersome bun, and inserted a jade hairpin in her sideburns, simple and atmospheric.
Her eyebrows and eyes are not angry and self-assured, although Zhou's body is not very rich, but it is also full of style, among these grandmothers, she stepped forward lightly, it is a standard palace step, it can be seen that she has been in the palace for many years, and these things are firmly integrated into her body.
"Mama Ma, what are you doing here?" Mama Wei opened her mouth lightly, she stood there, her eyes were majestic, and she looked coldly at Mama Ma who was sitting on the ground.
Mama Ma met her gaze and quickly lowered her head, rolled and knelt on the ground, her head against the ground and said, "Old slave...... Old Slave ...... I'm here to talk to RosΓ© about something. β
"Oh?" Mama Wei smiled coldly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "It's the middle of the night, what are you talking about here?" Let's talk ...... again."
Her gaze sharpened, and she turned to stare at Peach who was shaking on the ground, "Peach Hong, aren't you grounded?" Why do you want to sneak out? β
"Slave maid...... The slave maid was damned, she was confused for a while, and wanted Mama Ma to bring something, so she ......" Pink palms were on the ground, and her arms were trembling.
"You really deserve to die!" Mama Wei's voice suddenly became stern, very different from the previous coldness, "You actually dare to go out without permission during the lockdown!" What is so important! β
"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!" Peach was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly, and there was a lot of dirt on her forehead, which was mixed with the cold sweat that broke out, and suddenly added a bit of wolf bèi.
Mama Wei didn't speak again, just stared at the two people on the ground, her face changed in the moonlight, her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Rong Xi, who was hidden in the dark, looked at her face, her lips hooked slightly, and a faint smile appeared, but the smile never reached the bottom of her eyes, and the cold moonlight shone into her eyes, with a trace of coolness.
"Someone!" After a while, Mama Wei finally spoke, and said to the two rough envoys who came up: "Suppress these two restless minions for me, and each of them will be beaten with twenty boards, and Mama Ma will be punished with three months of miscellaneous labor, peach...... Leave it to Concubine Su to dispose of! β
The two rough mothers-in-law were slightly stunned, but they didn't hesitate too much, they rolled up their sleeves and were about to come over to do it, Mama Ma and Taohong originally thought that this time it was going to be a big disaster, how could the reason for the casual nonsense be hidden from the shrewd Mama Wei? Who thinks! This is how it will be!
Beat the twenty boards, but it was just suffering from some flesh and skin, Mama Ma was punished as a miscellaneous laborer, she was not a slave who was eye-catching, basically the same as no punishment, as for Peach, let her go back to Su Ting's side, isn't this just in the middle of the coffin?
Both of them showed happy expressions, almost didn't believe their ears, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you Mama Wei, thank you Mama Wei!" β
"Pull it down!" Mama Wei had a calm face, and as soon as she shook her hand, the two rough mothers-in-law were about to carry two people to the execution.
"Wait!"
A soft shout came from the darkness, interrupting everyone's movements.
A person came by the moonlight, she was tall, with a belt around her waist, and a slender waist, like a tall bamboo under the moon, her back was reflected in the splashing moonlight, proud and lofty, her steps were fast and steady, and the long hair behind her head was scattered and fluttered with the wind, like a hunting flag.
Her skin is like flawless jade, slightly cool in the moonlight, her eyebrows are raised, a heroic spirit is born, a pair of eyes are bright and flashing, bright as a spark, but at this moment she squints slightly, as if she is smiling but not smiling, and the expression on her face is cold and has a bit of incomprehensible complexity.
She stood not far away, and did not come to her, looking at this side with her hands in her hands, the corners of her mouth curled, but she did not speak.
She just looked at it from a distance, there was no anger, grief and indignation in her eyes, and she couldn't even see anything, but it just made people's hearts tighten, as if she saw a phoenix roaring in the sky, put away her claws, and looked down at you with calm and waveless eyes.
Mama Wei's heart also trembled, her gaze fell on Rong Xi's two exposed arms, then lowered her eyelids, and saluted: "I've seen the princess." The men behind her, as well as the two rough mothers-in-law, also spread their hands and hurriedly saluted.
Rong Xi didn't answer, just looked at it lightly, a group of people froze there, they didn't dare to get up without her answer, and the numbness of their bodies pressed over layer by layer with heavy pressure, making people's hearts more and more bottomless.
"Mama Wei, what are you doing?" After a while, Rong Xi's voice finally came, Mama Wei was unwilling, and said with a straight body: "Back to the princess, these two slaves met here privately, and the old slave came to teach them a lesson." β
"Oh?" Rong Xi's voice was still faint, but there was a bit of coldness between the lines, "What, in this mansion, is it Mama Wei's turn to call the shots now?" β
Mama Wei frowned, she was blessed, and said in a clear voice: "I don't know what the princess means?" The old slave is the housekeeper of the palace, and she is assigned by Wei Guifei......"
"So what?" Rong Xi interrupted her words, like a sharp knife, "This is Ning Wangfu, you said it yourself, but you are just a housekeeper, no matter how noble you are, you are just an old slave." β
Between her teeth fell heavily on the last two words, as if she had made a turn between her teeth, grinding her teeth and rolling out, Mama Wei, who was used to seeing the wind and rain in the deep palace, couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
She pursed her lips, exhaled softly, and said, "The princess is right. β
"So what?" Rong Xi smiled lightly, and turned his gaze to Peach and Mama Ma on the ground.
The joy in the hearts of the two people has not subsided, how did they know that Rong Xi suddenly killed, Mama Ma didn't know what was powerful, but Taohong knew that her face instantly turned pale, lost her blood, her body was weak, and she fell to the ground.
"Back to the princess," Mama Wei's face was a little ugly, she looked at Taohong and Mama Ma, and there was a complicated meaning in her eyes, "The old slave thought that the princess should have rested, and she didn't dare to bother more, but now, ...... I also asked the princess to decide for herself. β
Some of the mothers-in-law behind her were curious, and some were not convinced, so they secretly looked up at Rong Xi, didn't they say that the princess usually didn't care about anything? And he is cowardly, he can't control things at all, usually Mama Wei has the final say in people's affairs, and even people with an arrogant temperament like Concubine Su give Mama Wei three points of thin noodles. Why is this princess ......
Rong Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he lazily rolled up his sleeves, "What must be dealt with tonight?" Even if this princess rests, can't she wait for tomorrow morning to deal with it? People who don't know still think that my princess is in vain, and she can't even handle the affairs of a few minions, and she still needs to work for a grandmother. β
"The old slave doesn't dare!" As soon as Mama Wei heard this, she hurriedly bowed, she really didn't put Rong Xi in her eyes before, and after so long, hasn't she been fine all the time?
She couldn't help but think of the scene of sending clothes to Rong Xi that day, she was an old man in the palace, what kind of person hadn't seen it? Rong Xi just stood in front of her like that that day, she felt that this woman's grace and bearing were very incomparable, how could such a person be willing to be pressed by Su Ting?
The next thing is really as she expected, in this mansion and in the palace, it is not a good thing for a woman to be dominant, she is sent by Wei Guifei to assist the palace, and the prince is the only support of the concubine, how can she make the palace chaotic and distract the prince?
She naturally knew that there was something hidden about tonight's events, why was RosΓ© able to sneak out of the yard at such a great risk? And how did you get on Mama Ma?
However, she didn't want to suppress Su Ting's power anymore because of this, she only thought that after a while, the prince's anger would disappear, and maybe she would be able to make Su Ting make a comeback and fight against the princess, but who would have thought about it...... The princess is actually here!
Rong Xi looked at her every step and every salute in place, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how could she not guess Mama Wei's thoughts? It's just that this old grandmother's heart is loyal, and her vision is still too short-sighted!
