Chapter 82: Death
Early the next morning, Zining carried a wooden bucket and sprinkled water in the yard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Minmei ran in from outside, and her face was a little unsightly.
"Sister Minmei, what's wrong with you?"
"Zi Ning, have you heard? There is a girl and a eunuch outside who are being punished by the girl Jucalyx, and now the queen's mother is not in good health, and no one dares to bother her about this, it is all up to Miaoling and Jucao. ”
"What's the matter?" Zi Ning was taken aback, it wasn't the palace maid and eunuch last night!
"It's a shame, last night a palace maid passed by the back garden, heard a sound behind the grass, thought that there were thieves in the Changchun Palace, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly went to the front to call someone, everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they caught the thief with a lantern raid, guess what?"
Zi Ning understood in his heart, but shook his head on his face.
Minmei continued: "It's actually a pair of palace maids and eunuchs doing dirty things! Do you say that they have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and they will never be spared if they are caught. Sister Ju Cao was afraid that she would disturb her master because of this, so she punished her in private. Now that palace maid is estimated to be beaten to death, the eunuch has already been sent to the Punishment Division, and his life and death are unknown......"
Zi Ning's face was full of shock, how could the two people who were still alive yesterday be killed.
"Zining? Are you alright? Seeing that Zining's face was wrong, Minmei called in a low voice.
"No, it's okay, it's just pity for the palace maid and eunuch."
"What's so pitiful about doing such an unsightly thing, if you are told by Sister Jucao, you don't necessarily have to be angry."
Zi Ning kept silent again, only said that there was still something to do, put down the barrel and went out. After all, it is two lives, but because of the loneliness of the court, chatting with each other for comfort, how can they be heinous in the mouths of others?
Zining walked absent-mindedly, planning to go to Fei Su to get some things. Unexpectedly, two figures suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was stunned for a moment and turned around and wanted to go back.
"Bold minion, why do you want to hide when you see the fifth master!" The eunuch watched from afar as people came by, but when he saw them, he turned and left, and he did not know who he was so bold.
Zi Ning secretly screamed in his heart, it's over, he just thought about things so much that he reflexively hid back.
When Zining lowered his head and approached obediently, Yan Chen asked coldly, "Are you hiding from your master?" ”
"No, no, the slave suddenly remembered that something had fallen, and she wanted to go back and get it."
"Oh? Is it? ”
Zi Ning nodded hurriedly, I hope that the fifth master will let her go quickly. She imagined that the palace maid was beaten miserably as if it was lingering in her mind, whether it was with the eunuch or with the master, it was taboo for the palace maid to fall in love, and the palace maid had served in Changchun Palace for many years, not to mention her......
"Well, the slave and maid still have something to do, so I won't bother the fifth master, and the slave and maid will retire first." Zining blessed his body and made a gesture to leave.
"Slow down," Yan Chen stepped forward and grabbed Zining's hand, and said to the eunuch accompanying him, "You go first, my lord has something to tell this girl." ”
When the eunuch walked away, Yan Chen pulled Zining and turned around and went behind the rockery.
"Fifth Master ......" Zi Ning exclaimed, this is clearly not a discord with etiquette, of course, it is not the first time this has happened, but after what happened this morning, Zi Ning is more and more afraid of getting into trouble.
"What's going on?" Yan Chen changed his previous coldness, looked at Zi Ning's attitude, and spoke more softly.
"No, no......"
"There must be something, you can't hide this expression." Yan Chen pulled Zi Ning closer, wanting to see something in her eyes. I didn't see her again when I came out of the south study yesterday, and I came to Changchun Palace today, one is to visit my mother, and then I want to see her. Yan Chen found that the more he came into contact with her, the more he could find her better, and the more he couldn't extricate himself. But who would have thought that he would come here with great interest, but found that Zi Ning deliberately avoided him, which made him not angry.
Zi Ning stared at Yan Chen, watching Yan Chen become more and more innocent, and made some nonsense in his mind, just begging him not to dwell on what he had just done, ": The fifth master has superb chess skills, the slave maid lost yesterday, and today I have been thinking about how to break yesterday's chess game, but I didn't think about it, but I bumped into the fifth master, but the slave and maid were startled, and it was not intentional to turn around and go back......"
Yan Chen knew that Zi Ning was perfunctory to him, but he listened to this at this time, ": You said that you have been thinking about Ye? ”
"The slave is just thinking about the chess game......" Zi Ning explained weakly, but Yan Chen took him into his arms, so frightened that Zi Ning didn't dare to move.
She only heard the man above her muttering, "At first, I was just confused by your little goblin's appearance, but now I think you are more and more different from ...... woman"
Zining's mind was blank, and she didn't know how to respond, she only felt that her arms at this time were unusually warm, her chest was very strong, she was at a loss, and she didn't know where to put her hands, so she had to gently hug Yan Chen's waist.
Yan Chen was stunned, every time he treated her well, she always rejected her thousands of miles away, but it turned out that she still had a heart, "If you want, I will go to the queen mother and beg you ......"
Zi Ning was startled, and hurriedly pushed Yan Chen away and knelt down: "Ask the fifth master to let go of the slave!" If the queen does not allow grace, or the saint does not nod, then she will have a hard time in the future, and she will not be laughed at by other palace maids, maybe the queen will send her out of Changchun Palace, thinking of the palace maid and eunuch who were beaten, inexplicable fear will come to her, hooking up with a eunuch is still like this, let alone a prince? Although she didn't take the initiative on her face, she was willing in her heart, and if she was known, she would not be happy.
"You...... I don't know what to do! Yan Chen squatted down in front of Zi Ning, pinched her and raised her head, he wanted to see through her eyes, what was going on in her mind, just now she was still obedient, and now she suddenly refused. Why do you want her to be disqualified? As a prince, as a dignified deputy general, how many women want to win his favor? Why is it different from her? "Are you afraid that your master won't be able to please you?"
Zining didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to shake his head or nod his head, for fear of angering Yan Chen, if he knew the difficulty and retreated, there was nothing bad about it, a prince and a palace maid, it was a day and a place, she almost fell asleep. I don't know why, but my heart is uncomfortable.
Yan Chen didn't have to answer, and he didn't feel that his hands were squeezing harder and harder, and it wasn't until Zi Ning was called out softly in pain that he came back to his senses, "Okay, it's just a girl, nowhere else, don't regret it then." After speaking, Yan Chen brushed his hands away.
Zining sat in place for a long time, until the voice of the palace maid sounded outside, then she rubbed her chin and stood up, but her heart was inexplicably a little painful, she admitted that she almost fell into the tenderness of that embrace, but fortunately, she woke up in time and saw her identity clearly.
