Zheng Wei was carried back to Jingchen Palace the next morning, and the imperial doctor called by the black-faced guards prescribed her a decoction to prevent heat stroke, and made her kneel until the middle of the night.

The emperor said that if she was punished for kneeling at the gate of Kunhe Palace for a day, then no one would dare to discount it a little.

Zheng Wei knelt for a whole day and a night, for twelve consecutive hours. It wasn't until the next morning that the concubines came out of the queen's palace and were carried back by Zheng Shao.

Of course, Zheng Wei didn't know a lot of things behind this, because she couldn't support it when she knelt until almost dawn and passed out. The torture mother was also afraid that something would happen to her after she ran out of energy, so she didn't dare to beat her hard after she fell down again.

Although the two guards who were guarding Zheng Wei before they changed shifts with the two grandmothers sent by the queen before the palace gave the key, the two grandmothers didn't dare to accept her bribes because they were outside the Kunhe Palace, and as long as she bent her waist a little and her shoulders collapsed a little, their wicker rattan whips were unceremoniously pumped!

Zheng Wei was driven by the whip, and had to straighten up her back and hold on until the last second before she fell unconscious.

When she saw the eyes of the arbor that were swollen like rotten peaches, Zheng Wei still couldn't react.

It was Qiao Mu who cried out first "wow": "Miss, you have suffered a lot!" ”

Only then did Zheng Wei feel that tens of thousands of steel needles had been pierced below her knees, and she inhaled in pain: "Xiao Qiao, quickly lift the quilt for me to see, how is my leg?" ”

The leg still knows that it hurts, so it shouldn't be wasted.

Qiao Mu cried so hard that he didn't hear Zheng Wei speak at all. She had a big heart all day and night, who would have thought that Zheng Wei, who went out in the morning, would cause such a big disaster?

Punishment kneeling? Still kneeling all night?! Qiao Mu couldn't think about what kind of hardship it was, when she was a little girl, the grandmother who taught the rules in the Hou Mansion was strict, because she didn't do well, she was punished for kneeling a few times, and then she understood what it was like to be punished for kneeling. Thinking back then, she only knelt for an hour and a half and felt very painful, it was really hard to imagine how her girl survived this day and night!

Zheng Wei couldn't sleep all night, how could Qiao Mu have been better this night? She was frightened all night, and when Zheng Wei came back, this master was carried back! When she saw Zheng Wei's swollen knees like two purple steamed buns, she was distressed and frightened, and she almost fainted.

Qiao Mu cried too much, Zheng Wei had to do it herself, but as soon as her fingers were opened, a few lumps of things that were so wet that she couldn't see the color suddenly fell down.

Zheng Wei was in a trance for a moment before she remembered what those lumps were, which were the wrappers of the mint cold cake that Shen Jun gave her.

In addition to the two cold cakes at the beginning, Shen Jun later broke up the black-faced guard again and secretly threw three pieces at her. About the few pieces he had on him, Zheng Wei quietly finished eating the pastry, and when she looked at him again, the little guard avoided her eyes.

Zheng Wei knelt until the whole person was sun-dried, and she didn't know when she held these pieces of candy paper in her hands.

Qiao Mu's cry paused: "This is what Miss has been holding in her hand?" What is this? When the imperial doctor came, the silk basket broke with me a few times but couldn't break your hand. ”

Zheng Wei threw the paper balls into the incense burner that had not been extinguished very accurately, and watched them turn into green ashes, Fang said: "It's two pieces of dim sum paper, a little eunuch who sprinkled and swept saw that I didn't eat or drink, and knelt too pitifully, so he stuffed it into me when the grandmothers weren't paying attention." ”

Qiao Mu said "oh" and said: "Then this little eunuch is good, I didn't expect that there are still people in this palace who are a little humane, miss, we have time to thank others." ”

This girl, why is she so easy to deceive after being in the palace for so long? I don't want to think that she was personally ordered to be punished by the emperor, which little eunuch didn't want to die, and dared to risk death to bring her food?

Zheng Wei didn't squeak, she lifted the quilt with great difficulty, and finally saw the whole picture of her poor knees.

Her knees were purple and purple, swollen and shiny, and she looked very scary, she quickly closed the quilt after taking a look: "Forget it, I am now named by the emperor, and the emperor may still hate me." What if we go to him and get him involved? ”

One sentence aroused Qiao Mu's hidden worries, and her eyes turned red again: "Miss-"

Zheng Wei was afraid that she would cry again, so she quickly rubbed her stomach: "What time is it?" How long have I been asleep? How do you feel so hungry? ”

Qiao Mu hurriedly wiped away his tears, got up and said, "Why did I forget, Miss, you slept all day." Coupled with the day before, I haven't eaten a bite of food for two whole days. Porridge was boiling in the small kitchen, and Mrs. Ying instructed someone to keep the stove eye for you, for fear that you would wake up and want to eat, so I will bring it to you. ”

Qiao Mu went in a hurry, Zheng Wei leaned on the bed alone, didn't say that the food was okay, as soon as she said it, she immediately felt hungry to scratch her heart and liver.

Finally, there was no one around, and the door was also closed when Qiao Mu left, Zheng Wei leaned over and found something from under the bed.

This thing is so thick that it is only three palms wide, and it is the box that Zheng Wei's mother, Mrs. Tuowei Yuanhou, brought in for her to contain dragon beard candy.

Zheng Wei has a bad problem and likes to put some small snacks on the bed. This problem was raised by her last life when she went to college and lived in the upper bunk and ate night food, and then no one around her took care of her, so she brought this problem to another world.

Jiang Shi is an orthodox educated lady, thinking that girls are greedy and can't be self-disciplined, and practice their own appearance, Jiang always gets angry every time he sees her secretly hiding food in bed, and has always been strict to let Qiao Mu look at her and not allow her to mess around.

Qiao Mu was very convinced of Jiang's family, and under her supervision, Zheng Wei couldn't hide anything to eat on her bed. This small box is estimated to have survived when Qiao Mu suddenly learned that she had been punished, and was in no mood to search her bed in a panic.

Speaking of which, Zheng Wei deliberately hid something to eat, but she didn't mean to anger Jiang. It's just that Jiang has been disheartened since her father's death, and she only knows how to eat fast and recite Buddha, Zheng Wei watched Jiang live her life day by day into a pool of stagnant water, for fear that she would feel that she would have nothing to love one day, so she chased her father with a touch of her neck, so she had to try her best to make her a little lively. Zheng Wei felt that even if Jiang was angry with her, it was better than being bored in the house all day and not even saying a word.

Zheng Wei put a piece of candy in her mouth, but her hand unconsciously reached to the bottom of the box and pounded it a few times, with a soft "click", the bottom board was pulled down, and a silver ticket was glued to the bottom of the mezzanine, the amount, two thousand taels.

There are two layers of wooden planks at the bottom of this small box, and the reason why Zheng Wei knows about it is because Jiang once recalled to her when she was in a good mood that she and her father passed on books to Hongyan back then. Her father was very bold back then, and after seeing Jiang's heartfelt love at first sight, he insisted on going to Jiang's house to propose marriage, regardless of everyone's obstruction. Later, he wrote a love letter to Jiang's, afraid that she would destroy it after reading it, and quietly made this hidden mystery box to give to her, just in case his daughter's family was thin-skinned, in case her grandparents found out, Jiang would lose face in front of her parents.

Jiang has always been very precious about this box, and now he suddenly took it out to fill it with candy and solemnly sent it to the palace, Zheng Weiman thought that Jiang must have something private to say to her, and he didn't want the letter to be seen by too many people, so he thought of this method. She didn't expect that in addition to a letter with few words to report safety, there was also a large silver ticket attached to the bottom.

If Zheng Wei hadn't wanted to read the letter again the night before, but accidentally knocked over the box on the bed while pulling the board, I am afraid that it would be a long time before she discovers this disturbing secret.

Zheng Wei is very clear about her family's background, and her father in this life was only a minor official in the forbidden army before he died, and her annual salary was at most a hundred taels of silver. When her father was alive, he had always been very willing to spend money on their mother and daughter, and he didn't have much extra money, so it was impossible to save so much money.

When she arrived at the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, although food, drink and housing were provided by the Hou Mansion, Zheng Shao also won a monthly allowance for Zheng Wei, but her mother was not willing to take advantage of her daughter at all, and she didn't want her silver to be filial. Even the old lady in the Hou Mansion liked her self-love and wanted to give Jiang a monthly example, but she refused with great backbone. Later, although there was a dividend of Shunhe Zhai, it was only three years ago, and no matter how she was, she couldn't save two thousand taels of silver.

Where did her mother get this huge amount of money?

Seriously, Jiang has cultivated her mind and temperament over the years, her diet is light, and she rarely gets angry or angry, and because of this, the years have basically not left traces on her face, if she walks out the door, someone will believe that she is a young woman in her early twenties. With Jiang's beauty, as long as she is willing, two thousand taels of silver is too good to get, Zheng Wei is really afraid that Jiang will do something stupid because she is worried about what she will do.

But she has nowhere to inquire about the situation now, so she can only carry it alone in her heart.

Qiao Mu was in charge of Zheng Wei's small treasury, and she would definitely have to ask where the money came from, and Zheng Wei didn't think about how to tell her. It was she who pressed down with the identity of the master, and Qiao Mu was not allowed to ask questions, but reason told her that the Jiang family chose to send this silver in such a confidential way, and he definitely didn't want anyone to know.

Zheng Wei recalled several times, she didn't see anything strange in the eyes of Mrs. Hou and Linglong, who entered the palace for the only time, so she could only comfort herself, maybe these two thousand taels were a sum of money that she didn't know about their family, but she entered the palace in a hurry, and the Jiang family didn't have time to give it to her, and now she has made up for it.

Zheng Wei knew in her heart that this reason was reluctant, but other than that, she couldn't explain herself.

Staring at the silver ticket for a while, Zheng Wei became more and more annoyed the more she looked at it, so she had to be out of sight, and closed the lid and put it back in place with a "snap".

At this moment, the silk basket said crisply at the door of the hall: "The slave has seen Mrs. Ying. ”

Zheng Shao?

Zheng Wei looked at the dark sky outside, what was she doing at this time? It's all time, isn't it?
