Chapter 316: An Answer That Gets Closer and Closer
"Say....... slave maid said...... "Cui's mother couldn't stand being tortured by Mama Wan, so she had to confess all of them: "Someone told the slave maid that the tea that Niangniang drank was excellent, sweet and delicious, and it was a rare delicacy in the world, and the slave and maid were short-sighted, and they ate some tea secretly for a while......
Cui's mother was a village woman, and she didn't know why, she was first selected by Ji Mingyue and her husband to be a nurse, and because Sister Hui was born Liu Zijin died, she was forced by the emperor to give herself, and she was not prepared for a while, so she used Cui's mother, which made Cui's mother fortunate to enter the East Palace.
Because of his short-sightedness, he was instigated for a while, and he couldn't hold back his greedy mouth and tasted the tea drunk by the masters of the East Palace. This made Sister Hui catch a cold, and Mother Lan poured ginger soup into Sister Hui'er, which was cold and hot, just in the same direction, and Sister Hui had diarrhea even more.
Xu Zigui swept around the palace maids who were waiting around with cold eyes, and asked, "Which instigated Mother Cui?" Stand up by yourself and take the palace lightly. ”
After saying that, after inquiring about everyone, he said: "If you don't say it, let the palace find out, and see how the palace spares you!" ”
In a word, the palace maids in the house hurriedly knelt down and shouted wronged.
Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, glanced at Cui's mother, and asked, "Do you remember which one instigated you?" ”
Although Cui's mother is a village woman, she is not stupid, she knows that she has such a little use value now, if she says it, she may not be able to save her life, so she chooses not to mention it, only lowers her head, and does not say whether she remembers or does not remember.
Xu Zigui sneered: "You don't have to pretend to be stupid, even if the palace checks them one by one, the palace will still be able to find that person within a day, but the palace is unwilling to delay time." ”
After that, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that this palace won't dare to kill you!" ”
Cui's mother didn't know what bear heart leopard gall she had eaten, but she was not afraid of Xu Zigui's threat, but she lowered her head and talked to Xu Zigui about the conditions: "Niangniang wants the slave and maid to say it all, and she must also give the slave and maid some benefits, otherwise the slave and maid will have to work hard for the mother." ”
Xu Zigui sneered, looked Cui's mother up and down incredibly, and said with a smile: "What kind of place do you think this palace is?" I can also tolerate you to sprinkle with this palace here! ”
After that, he glanced at Mama Wan and sneered: "Give this palace a palm, and slap it until she says it!" ”
Mama Wan got the order, and unceremoniously stepped forward and began to slap her mouth, Xu Zigui sneered on the side: "You are derelict in your duties, you know that you want to feed the county lord but you eat a cup of tea greedily, this is the murder of the emperor's heir, and it is a big crime to punish the nine clans." As a result, he still doesn't know the sin here and the palace will be in condition, here is contempt for the imperial power, and it is also the crime of punishing the nine clans. ”
After that, he snorted coldly and said, "Do you want this palace to arrest all the people in your family before you are willing to say it?" ”
Cui's mother still has two sons at home, and when she heard Xu Zigui's words, she was completely panicked, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Niangniang spare her life, slaves and maids recruit, slaves and maids are all recruited." ”
Xu Zigui sneered and called Mama Wan, Mama Wan then withdrew her hand, got up and retreated to the side, Xu Zigui said again: "Go and see if the medicine of the red sleeves is decoctioned, and if it's okay, hurry up and give it to the little county lord to drink." ”
Mama Wan should be, and retreated. Xu Zigui looked at Cui's mother and asked, "Tell me, who is it?" ”
Cui's mother shook her head and signaled that the man was not here. Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, nodded lightly, and instructed Yuexi: "You take her down and go around, and when you find that person, you will directly tie her to the palace." ”
Yuexi should be, when she took Cui's mother down, Xu Zigui said again: "Cui's mother." ”
Cui's mother turned around, Xu Zigui hooked the corners of her mouth lightly, and said: "Don't play any tricks on this palace, otherwise this palace will have no heart to spare you." ”
When Cui's mother heard Xu Zigui say this, she nodded excitedly and fearfully, and said Xie Niangniang's grace several times before she was pulled back by Yuexi.
Xu Zigui and Mo Ziyuan went to the inner hall first to take a look at Sister Hui'er, and seeing that Sister Hui was no longer in trouble, the red sleeves came in with the medicine again, Xu Zigui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Hui can't drink the medicine directly, you can bring out the medicine." ”
Red Sleeves nodded, and followed Xu Zi back to the main hall with the medicine. Xu Zigui saw the Qin family, and he didn't have time to explain more, he looked at the person standing behind the Qin family, and asked, "Is this the nurse that my mother found for Sister Hui'er?" ”
Qin nodded, and was about to introduce, but was preempted by Xu Zigui again: "Wait for a while and then explain." ”
After that, he looked at the nurse and nodded at her, looking a little anxious: "You come with Bengong first." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Red Sleeves, motioned for her to bring the medicine, and said, "The little county lord is sick and needs to drink the medicine, you drink the medicine first and feed the little county lord." ”
It's just about using her meaning. The nurse naturally couldn't ask for it, so she drank the medicine without saying a word, and followed the red sleeves into the inner room.
Only then did Qin Shi ask, "What happened for a while?" ”
Xu Zigui shook his head and looked at Mo Ziyuan, Mo Ziyuan understood, got up and said: "Mother-in-law and Gui'er will talk about themselves for a while, and the son-in-law still has important things to do, so I won't accompany my mother-in-law." ”
There were no outsiders in the house, and Mo Ziyuan didn't put up the prince's shelf, just like an ordinary son-in-law seeing his mother-in-law, giving the Qin family enough face. The Qin family was naturally happy, but his face was still panicked, and he hurriedly got up and sent Mo Ziyuan to the door with Xu Zigui, and watched until he couldn't see his back, and then he and Xu Zigui entered the house.
After entering the house, the Qin clan mentioned that he wanted to go to the inner hall to see the little county lord, Xu Zigui naturally would not be unwilling, and took Qin's hand and entered the inner hall with Qin. Seeing that Sister Hui had fallen asleep, Xu Zigui asked with a smile, "Sister Hui drank the medicine?" ”
Red Sleeves nodded and said with a smile: "After drinking it, I felt a little better, I seemed to be very sleepy, so I fell asleep." ”
After that, he said to Xu Zigui: "Don't worry, the slave has already checked the pulse of the little county lord, and it's not a big deal." ”
Xu Zigui put his mind at ease, glanced at Sister Hui distressedly, and sighed: "What a poor child, how can this palace not feel distressed." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat: "Don't disturb the rest of the little county lord, please retreat." ”
Everyone should be, and those who have nothing to do retreated, Mother Lan and Chun Huaxia Momo stayed in the main hall to take care of Sister Hui'er, and the red sleeves followed Xu Zigui back to the main hall. Only then was Qin able to introduce the nurse: "My husband's surname is Li, and I was introduced by your mother Feng." ”
Mother Feng is the nurse of Xu Zigui's brothers and sisters, Xu Zigui is naturally trustworthy, and from the perspective of the face alone, Mother Li is a very honest person, so she didn't ask anything more, smiled at Mother Li and nodded, and said: "In the future, the little county lord will entrust Mother Li to take care of it." ”
Mother Li didn't even dare to say it, but Xu Zigui smiled and waved his hand at Lan Xiang and smiled: "Take Mother Li to the inner hall, the little county lord will wake up hungry after a while." ”
Lan Xiang should be, made a "please" gesture to Mother Li, and said with a smile: "Mother Li, let's go." ”
Mother Li should have saluted Xu Zigui, and then retreated with Lan Xiang.
After Mother Li went down, Qin asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the little county lord get diarrhea? So what did Cui's mother eat? ”
Xu Zigui told the Qin family about Cui's mother being instigated to steal tea, and after that, he said: "My daughter thinks that the person who instigated Cui's mother must not have any good intentions, and I think that someone should have been instructed to deliberately come to harm Sister Hui'er." ”
Qin nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Last time you said that your hairpin appeared on Liu Zijin for no reason, the concubine wondered if there was an inner ghost in Niangniang's palace?" ”
Xu Zigui also frowned, and after thinking about it, he said: "The original daughter only thought that the hairpin was stolen by that person who was good at kung fu, but now it seems that it is probably more likely that there is a ghost in the palace." ”
After that, he took Qin's hand again and said with a smile: "Thanks to having a mother, otherwise I can ask my daughter to find a nurse for Sister Hui'er." ”
said, looked at Xu Ziruo, and said with a smile: "If Sister Ruo'er is about to get married, then my mother will be relaxed." ”
Qin said with a smile: "What do you say about the mother and daughter of the concubines?" ”
After that, he looked at Xu Ziruo and said with a smile: "And Brother Yuan, where can the concubines be idle." ”
Xu Ziruo smiled and said: "It's too late for my mother to love Brother Yuan'er, but it's tiring to talk about Brother Yuan'er this time." ”
Brother Yuan is the first grandson of the Qin family, so naturally the whole family hurts together, Xu Zigui sighed and said with a smile: "It's a pity that my daughter married earlier, and I couldn't watch Brother Yuan grow up." ”
The Qin family laughed, the mother and daughter gossiped a few more words, and the Qin family took Xu Ziruo to get up and leave.
After sending the Qin family away, Xu Zigui put away the smile on his face, sighed slightly, looked outside, and asked, "Haven't you found out which instigated Mother Cui?" ”
Red Sleeves nodded and said, "Yuexi hasn't come back yet." ”
Xu Zigui nodded, sighed, and asked, "How was the matter that asked you to inquire last time?" ”
Last time, Xu Zigui asked Mo Leyuan if Concubine De had been beaten into the cold palace Mo Leyuan said that he didn't know, he kept asking about these things, it has been about half a year since the last time, but there is still no movement at all, Xu Zigui can't help but be a little anxious.
Red Sleeves frowned and shook his head: "It's still limited to knowing that Concubine De Niangniang was indeed sent to the cold palace, but what happened inside has never been able to find out." ”
Xu Zigui nodded and said, "Continue to inquire...... What activities does Liu Liang have these days? ”
Red Sleeves shook his head: "It seems that because my sister died, Liu Liang has not come out to do activities these days." ”
Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows: "Do you think Liu Zijin was a little weird with Liu Liang before his death?" ”
Red Sleeves nodded: "The two of them don't seem to have much affection, as if they just got on a boat because of the six princes and intersected, but they just want to show a deep brother and sister relationship." ”
Xu Zigui squinted his eyes, Liu Zijin is a person who has changed his core after all, so naturally he will not have any feelings for Liu Liang, but Liu Liang doesn't seem to have any feelings for Liu Zijin, which is a little too much.
"Keep checking, and observe Liu Liang carefully, no matter who he sees, come back and talk to the palace."
Red sleeves nodded, Xu Zigui closed his eyes, got up and said, "Go to Anle Palace with this palace." ”
The red sleeves should be, so he lowered his body to help Xu Zi return out of the East Palace and walked towards Anle Palace.
The East Palace is some distance away from the Anle Palace, and you have to pass the Imperial Garden on the way. In the past, Xu Zigui's biggest headache was to go to the Imperial Garden, because too many bad things really happened in the Imperial Garden in his previous life, which made Xu Zigui still a little evasive in this life.
Later, he and Feng Jiuqing had a night conversation in the Imperial Garden and were almost discovered, and Xu Zigui even decided that the Imperial Garden was an eventful place. There is no special reason for this, Xu Zigui has always been reluctant to go to the Imperial Garden alone.
Maybe there really is Murphy's Law, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen--Xu Zigui heard a noise as soon as he entered the imperial garden.
Glancing at Red Sleeves, Xu Zigui nodded, signaled Red Sleeves not to make a sound, and hid behind a bush of trees with Red Sleeves and waited for the sound to gradually drift closer.
"Mother concubine, don't be so stubborn anymore, he has been targeted, if you see him at this time, it is clear that you will send evidence to others, and build it with the construction of your sons, just take advantage of the occurrence of that incident to let him be silent for a while." After a while, they forgot about it, and it was not too late for the mother to see him again. ”
"You are a white-eyed wolf, you grew up beside your mother since you were a child, so naturally you don't understand his suffering! That kid is also pitiful, the palace hasn't seen him for almost a year, so let the mother concubine see him, huh? Even if it's good to hide from a distance and take a look. ”
Mo Chengyuan's tone was always resolute: "Impossible, you don't even think about it, mother." ”
"Cheng'er!" Concubine De's voice was a little angry, and then she begged like before: "Or you let him enter the palace, isn't he your little servant, he follows you into the palace, and the queen mother can look at him from a distance, eh?" Cheng'er ......"
"Erchen said, the mother still died in this matter, bear with it a little, and wait until the big thing is done, and the queen **** will no longer be afraid of what others say when she sees him."
After that, it seemed that he had thrown his sleeves and left, Xu Zigui only heard Concubine De shout "Cheng'er" several times, as if no one paid attention, and then left.
After hiding for a while, to make sure that there was no one, Xu Zigui and Red Sleeves walked out from behind the trees, Xu Zigui looked thoughtfully in the direction where the mother and son disappeared, looked at Red Sleeves, raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you hear?" ”
Redsleeves nodded, then shook his head again: "It seems that I heard something, and it seems that I don't know anything." ”
Xu Zigui nodded, raised his eyebrows, and smiled meaningfully: "This feeling of seeming to understand is really uncomfortable." ”
After that, he said to the red sleeves: "So, in order not to make my heart uncomfortable, let's find the answer quickly, find out the answer as soon as possible, and take it easy as soon as possible." ”
The red sleeves naturally nodded yes, in line with Xu Zigui, and Xu Zigui squinted his eyes, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be asking: "Who is the person that Concubine De wants to see?" (To be continued.) )
