Chapter Ninety-Eight: Rescue
Concubine Li was also slightly stunned when she heard Wang Minhui's words, it was obvious that Xi Ping entered the palace and told her about Guanyin's miscarriage, isn't this Rusheng's order?
Wang Minhui thought for a while, and then pretended to have a sudden realization, turned her head to look at Xi Ping, who was standing beside her, and said, "Ping'er disappeared early this morning, didn't you go into the palace to tell your mother about Sister Liu's miscarriage?"
Xi Ping naturally catered to her slightly, and said: "Yes, the maid thinks that this matter is not trivial, and it should not be hidden from the concubine, the prince has never sent someone into the palace to inform her, and the princess has not instructed the maid, so the maid made his own decision and went into the palace to tell the concubine."
"Ping'er, you ......" Wang Minhui pretended to be displeased, frowned, and stopped talking at this point.
At this time, Concubine Li figured it out, and said unhappily: "If Xi Ping hadn't told the mourning family about this, how long would you plan to hide it from the mourning family!"
Wang Minhui pretended to be ashamed, lowered her head slightly, stopped speaking, and just walked to the side to stand, Xi Ping naturally followed her.
Concubine Li then walked up to Tao Ge and said, "After all, you threw that stone, and Zhou's dereliction of duty is one thing, but you can't escape the blame."
Tao Ge was slightly stunned, she had put all the blame on Zhou Yuan, it stands to reason that this matter should have passed, and Concubine Li should not be looking for trouble with her anymore, but why is she still pestering her so much and not letting go, isn't it determined to make her feel bad?!
Tao Ge only guessed half right, Concubine Li was indeed determined to make her feel bad, and even intended to call her death.
After Concubine Li finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the house slave again, and said, "Come here, drag her out too, and beat her to death!"
Tao Ge was startled, and looked up at Concubine Li in a daze.
The house slave listened to her instructions, but she was a little hesitant, and the two glanced at each other, as if they were afraid of something.
After all, the two of them are Sima Daozi's house slaves, and they also know that Sima Daozi cares about Tao Ge, so they don't dare to touch Tao Ge easily.
Seeing that the two of them were unmoved, Concubine Li was angry for a while, and reprimanded: "What are you still doing!" Don't you take the instructions of the mourning family as a deaf ear! ”
The two of them were about to come forward, but at this time, Tao Ge also reprimanded: "Concubine! Tao Ge really doesn't know what is wrong with me, you ordered your subordinates to drag me out and beat me to death, is it just because I threw a stone?! ”
Tao Ge blamed Concubine Li in advance, Concubine Li was already slightly angry, at this time, Tao Ge praised her again, and said with a little anger: "Tao Ge has always respected Concubine Li's benevolence, but as a woman, she can care about the world and love the people like a child, I never thought that you also regarded human life as a mustard!"
Although Concubine Li tasted the sweetness, she was still displeased, and still grabbed the fact that the stone was thrown by Tao Ge and did not let go, and said: "Guanyin stepped on that stone before falling, and you threw that stone again, so the mourning family naturally can't spare you!"
Wang Minhui watched quietly from the sidelines, not saying a word, not even moving.
She knew that Liu was a fake pregnancy, but she never mentioned it, which really made Tao Ge embarrassed today.
Concubine Li said, and immediately called: "Someone!"
At this time, I suddenly heard a person calling: "Mother."
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that it was Sima Daozi coming.
Wang Minhui was slightly stunned when she saw him, it was still early now, the prince should have just gone to the early court, why did he come back so soon......
As everyone knows, Sima Daozi has just entered the Taiji Palace, and he heard Ru Qianqiu say that he saw Concubine Li's carriage leaving the palace.
He thought where his mother could go after leaving the palace, it was nothing more than the palace, and when it came to going to the palace, he suddenly felt bad and hurried back.
As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, and when he came back, he was just in time to relieve Taoge.
Concubine Li called: "Daozi."
Sima Daozi didn't seem to hear it, so he walked to Tao Ge's side, took her arm and helped her up, and then looked at her and said coldly: "What does this mean by the concubine!"
Tao Ge was slightly stunned, looking at him sideways, she thought, since her brother-in-law already hated her, why did he have to save her.
When Concubine Li saw Sima Daozi protecting Tao Ge like this, she was immediately dissatisfied, and said: "This girl threw stones and caused Guanyin to fall down and slip on the tire, and the mourning family is just dealing with her!"
Sima Daozi denied that the stone was thrown by Taoge, and said directly: "The stone that Guanyin stepped on was thrown by the son, and it has nothing to do with Susu, if the mother wants to punish it, then the son-in-law will be punished."
Concubine Li was stunned, looking at Sima Daozi's calm face, she didn't know what to say or do for a while, so she simply didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and just said: "You! You ......"
Wang Minhui was listening, and her heart was quite unbalanced.
In desperation, Concubine Li crossed Tao Ge, walked to her side, looked at her sideways, and said coldly: "For the sake of Daozi, the mourning family will spare you from death for the time being!"
With that, turn around and leave.
Wang Minhui saw that Concubine Li had left, so she walked to Sima Daozi's side and called gently: "Lord Wang."
Sima Daozi listened to the call and ignored it, but Tao Ge withdrew his hand without a trace, and avoided Sima Daozi a little.
Sima Daozi knew that she was still avoiding him, and it was naturally uncomfortable in his heart, so he turned around and went out, and Wang Minhui also followed him quickly and walked out of Xiyuan with him.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Tao Ge also went out without saying a word and walked to Beiyuan with Chun'er.
Wang Minhui followed Sima Daozi's side without saying a word, and Sima Daozi suddenly asked lightly: "Who brought this matter to the palace?"
Wang Minhui naturally heard his displeasure, so she said, "Concubine...... The concubine didn't know, maybe someone from Xiyuan sent a message to the concubine. ”
Sima Daozi frowned and was silent.
When Wang Minhui said this, she was also at ease, because she knew that Sima Daozi would definitely not ask Concubine Li how she knew about Liu's miscarriage.
Everyone had left, and at this time the Liu family dared to come out of the inner room, standing in the bright room and looking outside, only to see Zhou Yuan lying in the snow, as if she had been beaten to the point that she only had one breath left, she was shocked at the moment, and hurriedly walked over, regardless of her thin clothes, and ran out.
Walking outside, taking a closer look, seeing Zhou Yuan covered in bruises, he suddenly panicked, squatted down and hugged her in his arms.
Liu hugged her, tears suddenly ran down her cheeks, and she cried: "Nurse, I really wronged you......"
Zhou Yuan looked at her, and squeezed out a smile, she shook her head, and said weakly: "Aunt Liu, what are these words, the maid is all right."
Liu Shi also shook his head and said, "Since you can't hold on, then don't hold on, how can I care about this pain."
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "The maid watched you grow up, how can I see you suffer......" she said, raising her hand and gently wiping the tears on Liu's cheeks.
Such a scene in the snow can be regarded as a deep love between master and servant. (To be continued.) )
