26. The mind of the follower

Silk basket stood at the door and stopped talking.

Chen Baolin, who was sitting at the opposite corner of the door, saw her first and asked, "Sister Zheng, is there something to do with your silk basket?" ”

Silk Basket said with some hesitation: "Beauty, Wang Chang is gone." ”

The cheerful chatter and laughter in the room froze for a moment, and someone lost his voice and asked, "What?" How is this possible? Wang Changzai was not sick or sick, why did he die suddenly? "It was Liu Xuanzhi who asked.

Although the silk basket was panicked, her speech was quite clear, "It was Wang Chang's side that stole her golden hairpin, and Wang Changzai wanted to recapture the hairpin after being discovered, and when the two were arguing, Pearl accidentally killed Wang Changzai." ”

Since beating Wang Chang in June, he openly stood on the side of the queen in Diecui Pavilion, opposing Zheng Shao, and after coming back, although Zheng Wei and Zheng Shao did not deliberately target her, there were many people in the palace who saw the wind and steered the rudder, not to mention that Wang Chang was usually scathing, at this time, seeing that she had offended the favored lord of the first palace, seeing that the future was gone, there were not too many people who pounced on her and wanted to step on her.

It's just that she would never have thought that after only two months of hard work, she would get such an ending.

Liu Xuanzhi sobbed in a low voice, then bit his lip tightly, and looked at Zheng Wei's face with some fear. She and Wang Changzai are both from the same town in the suburbs of Beijing, and they entered the palace in the same batch of drafts, and later they were assigned to Jingchen Palace at the same time, and the relationship has not been bad. It's just that she was afraid of being implicated by Wang Changzai, so she slowly alienated her and chose to curry favor with Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei smiled reluctantly, "After playing for so long, I'm a little tired, let's talk about it another day." ”

Even though Zheng Wei had presupposed all the worst-case outcomes before doing that, when a bloody human life lay in front of her, Zheng Wei realized that she was not as calm as she imagined. Although she knew that if Wang Changzai didn't want to come out that day, she could have curled there like everyone else, but after all, she had given her another choice, and it was she who handed the knife to her hand. Zheng Wei couldn't convince herself that this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

That night, Zheng Wei had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to the time when she came to the Hou Mansion when she was a child, and the Hou Mansion gave them the maid called "Agarwood". Agarwood is not amazing, and Zheng Wei thought for a long time that she was a good maid who was diligent and cautious in her words and deeds.

It wasn't until at the old lady's birthday banquet that Zheng Wei overheard the plot of Agarwood and Zheng Kui, the son of the Zheng family.

Jiang was a famous beauty in the capital before she fell in the middle of the family, although Zheng's father held her into the palm of his hand after marrying her, but Zheng Kui saw her before Jiang got married, and he has been thinking about her since then. Unexpectedly, after Zheng's father died, before he was happy to finally have the opportunity to touch Jiang, Jiang moved to live in the Hou Mansion. Zheng Kui's thief heart did not die, and promised one hundred taels of silver for agarwood, asking her to lead the Jiang family to the side room of the Hou Mansion on the day of the old lady's birthday feast.

Zheng Wei forgot how angry she was at the time, but she still remembered how Agarwood stepped into the trap set by Zheng Kui for Jiang under her design, and finally reaped the consequences. She also remembered that after Agarwood was taken away by Zheng Kui, it didn't take long for Zheng Kui's wife to beat and scold her all day long, and in the winter, she was driven to sleep in the firewood room.

In a blur, Zheng Wei only felt that for a while it was Agarwood looking at her with blood on her head, and for a while Wang Chang was sneering at her constantly.

She woke up suddenly.

The cold moonlight shone into the concubine-colored bed tent through the half-hidden window, and Zheng Wei reached into her middle coat, her body was wet and sticky, and she was sweating.

She got up in her cloak and pushed the windows open, and the morning star was already hanging in the sky, and it was almost dawn.

couldn't sleep left and right, so Zheng Wei prepared to go to the yard for a walk. Qiao Mu lay on the couch in the outer room and slept for a long time, Zheng Wei didn't want to work hard to move the crowd, so she went out lightly, and when she went out, she was dumbfounded when she saw the situation in the courtyard.

Chunsheng was holding the dust in one hand, leading a few palace maids and eunuchs to stand quietly at the door of the main hall with crowns, clothes, hot water and other things. Seeing her come out, Chunsheng silently pointed his finger at the main hall and signaled her not to make a sound.

Zheng Wei then remembered that the emperor stayed in Jingchen Palace again last night, looking at the hour, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it was the time for the emperor to get up and go to court.

Zheng Wei didn't want to bump into the emperor in the courtyard early in the morning, nodded to Chunsheng, and prepared to find a corner to nest in. As soon as the corner door opened a crack, she lifted her legs and walked out of the courtyard, ready to go to the pavilion in the imperial garden to sit down.

There was a guard in a red robe standing outside the corner gate, Zheng Wei casually swept her gaze towards him, and immediately widened her eyes slightly-Shen Jun?

Shen Jun obviously didn't expect to see Zheng Wei at this time, he stared at Zheng Wei in a daze for a while, and then remembered that it was extremely disrespectful to look directly at the concubine, and hurriedly lowered his head, but the roots of his ears turned red unconsciously.

What kind of incense did she smoke on her? Still...... It smells good. In a hurry, such a thought crossed Shen Jun's mind, and his eyes fell on the pair of satin shoes embroidered with pink roses on bamboo and blue soles and did not move.

The owner of the embroidered shoes didn't leave, her slightly cold voice knocked on Shen Jun's ears, casting a slight ripple in his heart: "By the way, I haven't thanked Shen Guards for saving his life." Shen Guard, thank you. ”

Shen guards? Was she talking to him?

"How does Niangniang know that my surname is Shen?" Shen Jun burst out with a word.

Zheng Wei was stunned, she knew that Shen Jun was because she had asked Zheng Shao to inquire about him before, but how could she say this?

She bit her lip, and in the other party's puzzled eyes, she only felt a burst of heat in her cheeks, and squatted down with a deep blessing to hide her embarrassment, "In short, thank you for saving your life." ”

Shen Jun didn't remember what Zheng Wei was talking about at first, the fall into the water in June...... He unconsciously twisted his fingers a few times, as if the slender and soft waist was still in his hand, and he stammered a little, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that without Shen, Niangniang will be fine." ”

Zheng Wei originally had a ghost in her heart last time she fell into the water, but when she heard Shen Jun say this at this moment, she immediately thought crookedly, and there were only two questions left in her head: he actually knew that he couldn't pretend to be able to swim?!! How did he know?!!

She jerked her head up and blurted out, "You got it?" How do you know? ”

Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, "What did Niang Niang say?" ”

Zheng Wei glared and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, what else can I say?" How do you see that? ”

Shen Jun was even more stunned: "How can you see what?" ”

Zheng Wei frowned, this little guard is too good at pretending! The fact that she knows how to water must not be spread, otherwise, it will definitely be a lot of trouble. How to explain to Zheng Shao that this is not important, the important thing is that if she knows water, why pretend that she can't and let a guard fish her out of the water?

Zheng Wei looked around, took a step closer, and asked in a low voice, "I know about water, who else have you sued?" ”

Does she know how to water? She actually knows how to water!

Shen Jun's incredible gaze fell on Zheng Wei's eyes, and Zheng Wei suddenly had an ominous premonition that he had done something stupid. Sure enough, I immediately heard this person ask in surprise: "Niangniang, do you know how to water?" ”

Zheng Wei: "......"

Zheng Wei stared at him suspiciously, his eyes were narrow and black and white, he was frowning slightly at the moment, and suddenly realized: "Niangniang thinks I know about water?" I mean, Niangniang Ji is a natural person, it will be fine, I don't know that Niangniang will be able to water. ”

Zheng Wei: "......" She's really, stupid!

Zheng Wei took two steps back in embarrassment, covered her hot face and wanted to leave quickly: How could she make so many mistakes without saying a few words to this person?

"Then you are not allowed to tell anyone!" Zheng Wei gritted her teeth and said. Originally, she still wanted to threaten this person, but she didn't have anyone in her hands, she, she just wanted to threaten, and she had nothing to threaten!

She stomped her foot in frustration, only to repeat weakly, "Don't tell anyone!" Do you understand? ”

Shen Jun looked at the girl's face that was red because of anger, like the red sun quietly poking out a little bit from the east of the sky, there was a kind of beauty that was warm to hot. Something suddenly exploded in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

In fact, he did laugh. His laughter swirled gently in the cold wind of the early morning, and Zheng Wei only felt that her ears were crisp when she heard it.

If that laughter weren't mockery, it would be even more perfect. She actually had the heart to laugh at herself, only to remember that she was bluffing in the first place, and this person was actually laughing at herself! Zheng Wei couldn't hold it anymore no matter how thick-skinned she was, so she turned around sharply, ready to flee the scene first.

"!" Shen Jun suddenly stopped Zheng Wei behind him, but he didn't make a move immediately, took out something in her inexplicable eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then took two steps forward, bent down and put it on the stone road between the two.

Shen Jun slowly retreated, did not look at Zheng Wei, looked straight ahead, and said softly: "There is a lot of wind and rain in the palace, take care!" ”

The skylight was brightening almost inch by inch, and Zheng Wei's gaze fell on the small square brick.

On the brick is a yellow peace charm, the corners of this charm have been roughed, and it can be seen that it is very old.

Zheng Wei felt that this little rune paper was like the sun that had just yet leaped, suddenly bursting out of ten thousand golden lights, dazzling, so hot that she didn't dare to look at it or touch it.

He...... He......

Shen Jun seemed to know what Zheng Wei was thinking, and muttered to himself: "The Yuanzhi Master Fu of the Great Xiangguo Temple is very spiritual, and he will definitely bless the mother to grow old safely." ”

Growing old in peace, this is really a luxury wish in the palace...... Zheng Wei's eyes were spicy, she quickly raised her head and blinked the craze in her eyes desperately.
