Chapter 231 Gossip and three people become tigers
If it was in the past, Lan Qiduo didn't have to go through so much trouble to do something, after all, her identity was there, but now it is different from the past, the dark tide in Beijing is surging, and Lan Qiduo is the party involved, although the prince and His Majesty are afraid that it will damage Lan Qiduo's reputation if they keep their mouths shut, but no one can deny that she is that sensitive person.
What happened that day was seen by many people, coupled with the people who served, rumors spread in the capital for a while, but because of the royal affairs, everyone is not good to talk about, but the more some things are covered up, the more curious, people who talk in private abound, the seemingly calm water surface of the capital, in the place where many people can't see the waves, just waiting for a big wave to hit the original calm to break the original peace, and the world has been turned upside down!
It seems that the emperor's eldest grandson was captured in Yangui Mountain, but after being rescued, the prince was assassinated, and the person who carried out the assassination was the Royal Forest Army according to many people's gossip, what is the Royal Forest Army? That's the person who protects His Majesty, a place directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, and to be able to enter the Imperial Forest Army is not only to have a clean family background but also to have real skills, such a strict place, and now there are inexplicable people who are mixed in, those who are anxious about their own children and nephews, none of them are not secretly inquiring about the news.
Originally, there were no such rumors, after all, it had something to do with the crown prince and the position of the prince, and the common people didn't dare to talk about it so blatantly even if they borrowed the courage from the sky, after all, it was really cut off in vain that day! Who told you to talk nonsense like a horse.
But I don't know why it's just a day, no one cares about the prince and ancestor worship anymore, although they don't dare to be blatant, but almost everyone is vaguely and gossiping about who is the person who jumped off the cliff with the noble girl, and the noble girl and the lonely man and widow are not damaging the reputation of the daughter's family, and some of the stricter ones even said that the noble girl had already been insulted by the gangsters, but the noble girl was above 10,000 people, and her identity was too noble, and the person who saved her was forced to save her because of love......
Xiao Tuping finished what Lan Qiduo had ordered. Thinking of Lan Qiduo's appearance of taking medicine, he went to Xiangyilou to buy some pastries and preserved fruits that His Royal Highness liked, and after taking the medicine, it was so sweet, who knew that it was such a moment of effort, and when he heard such words, Xiao Tuping immediately trembled with anger.
I almost suppressed the thought in my heart that I wanted to tear that man's mouth apart. Xiao Tuping pretended to be casual and beckoned the shopkeeper over, took out two pieces of broken silver, and pretended to be very interested and asked, "What were those people talking about just now?" ”
The shopkeeper pointed with Xiao Tuping, for her money's sake, although she looked like a ghost and a gossip. But Xiang Yilou didn't like people who played right and wrong because of their relationship with the owner, so he suppressed the itch in his heart, and said to Xiaotu flatly: "It seems that the girl doesn't know!" It's like this,"
He quietly looked around and whispered, "Didn't you worship your ancestors in the imperial mausoleum a few days ago?" Those nobles went out with their female dependents, but who knew that they met the robbers who blocked the way, and the robbers ruined the girl, and a manservant rescued the girl and accidentally spent the night with the girl. ”
Xiao Tuping was afraid that his feelings were not good, so he lowered his head and adjusted himself for a long time before he raised his head and said in fear: "Oh my God! How could this happen not far from the capital? Did you say whose girl was so miserable? How will she marry in the future? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? It's terrible to have that kind of thing," he said, rolling his eyes. Seemed a little speechless and stopped, Xiao Tuping quietly stuffed another piece of broken silver into his hand, and the shopkeeper just began: "Don't hide it from the girl, it is said that it is because it was affected by the above, so it happened to such a thing, who else do you want to be involved, we are the only one who is unmarried." ”
The shopkeeper pointed to the roof with no trace in exchange for a distorted dry smile from Xiao Tuping, and the shopkeeper thought that she was shocked by the news she said, not only secretly proud, but also casually added a more distorted sentence called Xiao Tuping: "Now you go to the teahouse, inn, and theater to find someone to ask in any place in the garden." They can all tell you anything, but not many can guess the identity of that nobleman. ”
Xiao Tu was calm and almost broke the work, but fortunately it was her turn to line up at this time, and Xiao Tuping took the opportunity to go out in a hurry. She got into the inconspicuous carriage and said to the guards who accompanied her out: "Brother Niu, please go to the yamen to report the case, just say that someone in Xiangyilou has gathered to make trouble." In particular, the three men in the northeast corner wearing duck egg green decorations, and a shopkeeper with a mole on his temple, he gave customers random quotations to withdraw money from them. ”
The one who was called Brother Niu was a little stunned. However, Xiao Tuping is the eldest maid who is waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess, although there is no grade, but it is much closer than those of them who have not seen the princess for eight hundred years, so after Xiao Tuping finished speaking, he only hesitated for a moment about Xiao Tuping's safety, and was said undoubtedly by Xiao Tuping: "There is also a handlebar type here, and we are going back to the East Palace, who is so short-sighted that even the servant of Her Royal Highness the princess dares to bully?" ”
Little Tuping glanced at the coachman, who quickly shrank his head to the side in fright.
Xiao Tuping is a soft and timid character, and he has never seen such a vigorous and resolute Xiao Tuping when the coachman sends her out on weekdays, and at this time he is suddenly like this, only scared his heart and liver.
"Hurry back to the East Palace!"
Along the way, they arrived at the gate of the palace at a gallop, and before the coachman could stop the carriage, everyone saw a girl in light pink clothes jumping out of the car, silently took out the waist card on her body and handed it to the guard guarding the door without saying a word, and then trotted away!
Xiao Tuping panted back to the East Palace, and went straight to Lan Qiduo's room without saying a word, when she went out, it was still morning, and Lan Qiduo was having dinner when she came back, Lan Qiduo was already pretending to have something in his heart, and when he saw Xiao Tuping coming back, he was happy and said to Xiao Tu'an, who was waiting: "Add a table to Xiaoping, and give her some of my dishes, she must not have eaten, and I can't finish eating here anyway." ”
Today is Xiao Tule serving Lan Qiduo with a meal, hearing the words and smiling to Xiao Tuping to eat, Xiao Tuping originally had a stomach to see Lan Qiduo smiling Yan Yan at this time, suddenly a little undecided whether he wants to say these things, but fortunately, when His Royal Highness eats, don't annoy His Highness's interest, Xiao Tuping doesn't know the taste of the food he eats, and Lan Qiduo is even more absent-minded.
When Xiao Tule went out with a look in his eyes, Lan Qiduo immediately asked, "What happened to Xiahou Yi's injury?" Did the imperial doctor say if his little toe could be saved? ”
It turned out that Lan Qiduo asked Xiao Tuping to inquire about Xiahou Yi's condition, and originally these things could be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, but the prince hadn't talked to Lan Qiduo properly for several days, and he had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was sleep-deprived. After all, she is her own brother, and she doesn't feel sorry for anyone, so Lan Qiduo didn't mention it, but she has been remembering this matter since she woke up. In this way, I have to use my own people.
Although Xiao Tuping was a little resistant to Lan Qiduo's orders, after all, Xiao Tuxi used to take care of these things for Lan Qiduo, and she was not as arrogant as Xiao Tuxi, and she always felt that the princess and General Xiahou were now unmarried and unmarried, and it was not good for Lan Qiduo to get too close. But Lan Ziduo's orders could not be disobeyed.
"The slave maid can't see General Xiahou, there are people everywhere in front of General Xiahou's door, and there are many people who go to listen to the news like the slave maid, but everyone, General Xiahou's old housekeeper has the same meaning, roughly that General Xiahou has woken up now, but he can't move around, his body is recovering, and he is afraid that he will ask too carefully, so he doesn't dare to ask more."
Lan Ziduo heard that Little Tubin didn't find any useful news. can't say that she is not disappointed, but she also understands in her heart that what Xiao Tuping said makes sense, Xiahou Yi is now injured, originally everyone thought that he had returned the talisman, although Yu Wei was still alive but had no real power, but he didn't want His Majesty to hand over such an important matter as protecting the prince to him, and now I heard that he could not come to visit and show goodwill?
Lan Qiduo was different from what they thought, she just faded out of your concern about Xiahou Yi's condition, and she knew one thing, that is, Daqi officials with disabilities were not allowed to hold any position above the ninth rank. Quite a line with a draw!
The reason why Lan Qiduo fainted that day was because he thought about whether he would cut off Xiahou Yi's back path as an official in the court in the future because of such a move to save people, and thought of Xiahou Yi's dominating appearance in his previous life. Lan Qiduo only felt sour and uncomfortable, even though he understood in his heart that Xiao Mubai said some words like "regent" in his previous life, but he knew in his heart that this result was caused by himself, the kind of man who seemed to have done a big thing and a wrong thing, and delayed a man who was obviously flying and prosperous, especially this man took care of himself and poured out his heart and lungs......
Now, Xiahou Yi's toes have been proven by the imperial doctor on the spot, and they may be broken, and there is no way to get better. It's been three days and no news has come, and Lan Qiduo can't hear the news, this disappointment can be imagined.
Xiao Tuping observed her words and expressions as she spoke, and easily found the disappointment in Lan Qiduo's eyes, she couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, thinking of what Lan Qiduo took her to do before, wasn't it all related to General Xiahou? Xiao Tuping didn't dare to think about it anymore, remembering that he had more important things to report, and hurriedly interrupted Lan Qiduo's contemplation: "Your Highness, today's slave maid is good at making claims, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
"Assertive?" The rise of Lanzido's differences.
Xiao Tuping knelt where he gritted his teeth and briefly said the gossip he heard, and then he also told the yamen about telling people to tell him, and finally even stubbornly raised his head and said: "The slave and the maid do not regret doing this, if the slave and the maid are given another chance, the slave and the maid will still do this." ”
Lan Qiduo was stunned when she heard such news at first glance, so after Xiao Tuping's words were finished, she smiled bitterly, and hurriedly called people up, thinking with a wry smile, there was no such thing as her going to Yangui Mountain to worship her ancestors in her previous life, but she didn't expect to meet an assassin this time, not to mention, where did she think of the affairs of the royal family, there were people on the street who dared to talk about it, although it was a noble girl, but the noble girl who went to Yanguishan that day probably knew who she was talking about......
Lan Qiduo thought that someone was talking about her as a princess, and just now her mind was shocked by this news, but at this time, she felt a little disobedient, why did such a big thing happen and mention such an inconsequential thing? Listening to the tone of Xiao Tuping, there is no one on the street who doesn't know about it! Suddenly, my heart tightened, and I thought of a possibility!
"Do you know when the news came out?" Lan Qiduo stared at Xiao Tuping and asked.
Xiao Tuping shook his head a little embarrassed, bit his lip and said, "The slave forgot to ask!" At that time, she was going crazy when she heard the news, and it was enough to be patient enough to know the ins and outs of the matter, where did she want to ask when it happened?
"Why don't you go out and inquire again?"
"Forget it! You have a good rest and have been running all morning! ”
Lan Qiduo was a little excited, it wasn't that she didn't care about those things, after all, it was about herself, let alone such a slanderous thing? It's just that looking at the people around him, Lan Qiduo sighed a little, it would be nice if Xiao Tuxi or Qian Liulang were by his side! Xiao Tuping is obviously not the material for these things, but now that she is trapped in the East Palace, she can't even see the two hundred female soldiers, otherwise she will tell them the same.
I don't know if my brother knows these rumors, thinking of this, Lan Qiduo couldn't sit still, so he immediately recruited someone to meet the crown princess.
Now because of Emperor Kangtai's speech, there is no elder in the princess's mansion, so Lan Qiduo is placed in the East Palace to be taken care of by the crown princess, and the princess has accepted Lan Qiduo's love many times, and now she has the opportunity to pay back one or two, and she can't wait to take care of all things with Lan Qiduo, and even her two sons are a little careless.
In the past few days, Lan Qiduo has been doing well, just like a well-behaved sick person, she listens to whatever the princess asks her to do, she doesn't ask the reason at all, and she doesn't ask about other things, and the princess is getting happier and happier! I feel that my sister-in-law is just cute, and I don't look for trouble at all. How did the crown princess know that Lan Qiduo was in the East Palace and had no suitable manpower, so she had to be quiet, otherwise how could someone bully her like this and not fight back like this? It's a joke!
"You...... Where did you hear these words? ”
The crown princess was first shocked by Lan Qiduo's words, then immediately reversed, and then became furious: "What a reason! I don't know who would dare to arrange you like this! Arrest them all and put them in jail! Call them such nonsense! ”
The crown princess angrily circled around the room, thought for a while and said, "No!" I'm going to discuss this with your brother! And I hadn't heard anything like this before, it seemed like rumors were flying all over the sky after a night! Someone must be doing something in secret! We can't eat this dumb loss!
