Chapter Seventy-Two: King Ning's Anger
Mama Zhao's heart beat like a heavy drum, and her legs kneeling on the ground kept trembling, she looked up at Rong Xi, her eyes were like a knife with a cold wind, cutting sharply, she shivered, and lowered her head, "Back to the princess, the old slave's fingers are ...... Be...... The vegetable juice accidentally dyed when choosing vegetables, the slave and maid should not pass food to the princess without washing their hands, and the slave and maid are guilty......"
Rong Xi smiled coldly, it seems that this old woman doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin, "Oh? Is it? Xiao'er, go get a basin of water, let Mama Zhao wash it well, and see if the vegetable juice can be washed? ”
"Yes." Xiao'er turned around and brought a basin of clear water and put it in front of Mama Zhao.
Xiao'er's heart was full of anger, the strength was naturally not light, the copper basin "dang" sounded, the water splashed, the crisp sound scared Mama Zhao again, she hung her head, looked at the basin of swaying water, clearly reflected her own shadow, and also swayed with the water, looking very hideous.
Her hands were on the ground, her fingers were tucked into her sleeves, and she was slamming at the ground, how could she not wash? Can...... Who knows what's going on, when I wake up in the morning, I find that my fingers have become like this, and I can't wash them off after washing countless times!
However, she never understood, even if she couldn't wash it off. What's wrong with that? At most, my hands are not clean, and I can't serve in the kitchen anymore.
"It's washing...... Xiao'er urged on the side, looking at this old woman's appearance, she wanted to breathe fire in her eyes, how could the princess treat her badly? Actually did this kind of poisonous hand!
Mama Zhao gritted her teeth, she let it go, the big deal was to be kicked out of the Red Sleeve Garden, and the worst result was to be expelled from the house, what else could she do? Besides, although her time in the palace is not very long, she has not made a big mistake after all, how can the princess say that she will hurry? Aren't you afraid of a reputation for treating your subordinates harshly?
She trembled and put her hand into the basin of water, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in her nervous palms for such a while, and she couldn't help but shake again when she was stirred by the water.
"Oh, by the way, this princess forgot to say, something has been added to this water," Rong Xi suddenly opened his mouth lightly, his tone was gentle, but the words he said seemed to roll under the blade, "If you touch Zhu Yihua, the place you have touched will be red and festering." ”
She paused slightly, her eyes gently swept over the basin of water, the water ripples fluctuated, reflecting Mama Zhao's face turning white inch by inch, her yellowish teeth were biting her lips tightly, and a trace of blood burst out from the corners of her mouth.
"Mama Zhao, haven't you ever touched that kind of flower?" Xiao'er spoke briskly, but her eyebrows were slightly raised, like a sharp knife.
Mama Zhao was asked by her, as if she had just come back to her senses, she let out an "ah", her voice was hoarse as if she had tried her best, her hands pulled out of the water fiercely, and she was desperately rubbing back and forth on her body.
Most of the water in the copper basin overflowed, splashing on the ground, and the place where she knelt was also soaked with water, but she didn't care, just wiped her hands desperately.
"Do you have any signs of fever or redness?" Rong Xi looked at her panicked appearance, her eyes were calm and waveless, like a dark sea, the surface was calm, but below was a surging frenzy, her calm appearance made Mama Zhao's heart almost shattered, she climbed a few steps, her voice was crying, and shouted: "Princess!" Princess, save me! ”
"Save you?" Rong Xi smiled faintly, the light from the corner of his eyes splashed out, "You can tell me, I work in the red sleeve garden of this princess on weekdays, and occasionally I will have the opportunity to go to the street, but that bamboo flower is very precious, you ...... Where did you touch it? ”
Mama Zhao was stunned, she stared, opened her mouth wide, her nose quickly stirred, and after a while, she looked at her red hands.
Her heart is like frying oil, but she can't say it, how can she answer this? In the entire Red Sleeve Garden, only Su Ting's yard has Zhuyi flowers, that kind of flowers are as delicate as fire, there were no in the palace before, and they were brought from her mother's house when Su Ting got married.
She once said that she just likes the color of the big red, because that is the positive color that his wife can use, although she is a side concubine, but sooner or later she will sit in the position of the main concubine! Therefore, she planted a large patch of fiery red bamboo flowers in her yard, saying that she felt comfortable when she looked at it.
"Since you can't remember it, let's wait until you remember." Rong Xi said, stood up from the dining table, moved lightly, and the skirt bloomed gently like a flower, bypassing Mama Zhao.
She walked to the door of the house, only to find that there were several people standing in front of the small kitchen, all with solemn faces, stiffened, holding their breath, needless to say, this is the person who served together with Mama Zhao in the small kitchen.
And under the tree not far from them, Leng Yixiu smiled.
Rong Xi met his gaze, he stood with his hands in his hands, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, when he saw her, the arc softened a little, the glow shone on his body through the dense leaves, and the faint speckled light and shadow fell on his body, deep and shallow, making the cold breath around him even more dark.
Rong Xi knew his intentions, he had been bullied by Su Ting before, and he had seen his own ...... Fierce, but other people don't, these minions have always been high and low, it is hard to guarantee that there will be people with bad intentions and be used by people with intentions, only Rong Xi himself has enough prestige to be able to deter these minions.
Rong Xi smiled faintly at him, and Leng Yixiu's heart softened, as if he saw a gentle little flower blooming on the thousand-foot-high heart wall, showing delicate petals with the wind, such a hard background and such a soft expression, it turned out to be matched together, it was so moving.
"Princess! Princess! The slave remembered that it was the slave who had collided with a carriage full of flowers when she went to the street, and there were bamboo flowers on the cart! Mama Zhao's mournful voice came from behind, she always knelt, crawled a few steps on her knees, and looked up at Rong Xi's back.
She walked to the door, saw those people standing quietly in the courtyard, and saw Leng Yixiu standing under the tree, the air was full of slaughter, she couldn't help but stop talking, her eyes were full of fear.
"A minion who doesn't know how to die! Even now, I'm still talking nonsense here! Leng Yixiu was furious when he heard this, he strode forward, raised a kick and kicked Mama Zhao's shoulder.
Where can Mama Zhao stand his kick? Suddenly, "Ah! With a bang, her body flipped over heavily, and she slammed into the copper basin behind her with a "bang", her head tilted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of "wow".
The heavy smell of blood mixed in the air, and suddenly it spread, and those people standing at the door of the small kitchen were suffocating, their heads were lowered, their chins hit their chests, their eyes looked at their toes, and they didn't dare to peek more, the scorching sun was hot and scorching, and sweat beads oozed from everyone's foreheads, but they were cold, and the clothes on their backs were also soaked, sticky but cold.
Rong Xi glanced at Leng Yixiu, and in his impression, he didn't seem to have seen him so angry, and he didn't even have this kind of look when he was stabbing him.
His eyes swelled, like an endless sea of anger, and in the next moment, he rolled out of the boundless angry waves to engulf people, his left hand held the robe, the flat material was pinched out of the folds by him, his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the golden claws on the black boots seemed to come out with his broken boots!
Leng Yixiu glanced back at Rong Xi, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this old woman was still an important witness, he really wanted to kick her to death!
"What the hell have you touched Zhuyihua?" Rong Xi lowered her eyes and looked at Mama Zhao, her hair was scattered, the corners of her mouth were bloody, and her shoulders were stained, "One last chance." ”
Mama Zhao leaned over on the ground, her broad back was trembling, her fingers were blue and black, digging into the brick cracks in the ground.
"Xiao'er, go search her room!" Rong Xi was silent for three seconds, and seeing that Mama Zhao still refused to speak, her voice suddenly became sharp, and Xiao'er immediately took the order.
The cold sweat on Mama Zhao's forehead rolled down, the tearing pain on her shoulder made her almost faint, and what was even more terrifying was that her hands seemed to be getting redder and redder, and it was still a little tingling, could it be ...... Really want to ......
However, if you want to say it, there is only one way to die! Don't say a pair of hands, even your life is gone!
She was still struggling with her thoughts, Xiao'er came back quickly, listening to her hurried footsteps, Mama Zhao's heartbeat followed a little faster, and her breathing became more rapid.
"Princess, this was found in her room," Xiao'er said, opening a bag of things that contained a few ingots of gold and a bracelet of blood jade.
"Hmm......" Rong Xi glanced at it, is someone who wants to exchange these things for his own life, is this too cheap?
"And this," Xiao'er unfolded a stack of papers in her hand, looking sad and indignant, Rong Xi's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the contents of the paper.
Leng Yixiu also walked over and saw those papers, and he couldn't help but change his face, he took those papers, turning them page by page, and the things written on them pierced his eyes like a knife, and the anger in his heart collided with his reason, burning inch by inch into ashes.
The dishes on it are written in great detail, which one will produce the effect of poisoning with which one, how to do it, and what kind of heat, all of which are detailed.
Leng Yixiu was on the verge of a violent collapse, his face was dark, his eyes flashed with anger, scorching hot, everywhere he looked, there seemed to be a fire, and there was a "crackling" sound in the air.
Those pages seem to be very ordinary, but when you look at them from the side, there is a shallow mark in the lower right corner of each one, and Leng Yixiu can recognize it at a glance as the mark of the famous restaurant "Zuixiang Building" in the city.
The business of Zuixianglou is booming, of course, because of the beauty of the wine and coriander, and another important reason is that Zuixianglou is the property of your family's grandfather of the eldest prince!
