Chapter 31: The Sin of Desire
Zang Jiao sat on the bed in a daze, watching the open window sash next to a picture of ink smoke on the wall, and her eyes were confused.
Everything that happened last night was like a dream, Lin Yuzhen's death, the figure that appeared in the middle of the night, the figure did not ask for the jade pendant in the end, but took the hosta under the pillow from her hand and stabbed it at the person while she was unprepared.
"A girl like you is really lovely, I thought that only we in Baishan had a bold and beautiful girl, but I didn't expect Da Chu to have it, and it was more beautiful than the girl we had there.
The jade pendant will be given to you, you have to keep it well, and if you lose it, I will give your hairpin to someone else. The man, dressed in a short, narrow-sleeved, dark gold and black coat, chuckled and said these words, walked to the window, pushed it away, and jumped out lightly.
"Why did the lady wake up so early?" He'er rubbed her eyes on the low couch and raised her head, looking at Zangjiao who was in a daze, she quickly got up and ran to the side of the bed, holding Zangjiao's hand, and shouted repeatedly:
"Lady, what's wrong with you, lady. Don't scare the slaves, lady, Qiuzhi, Qiulan, come on. Ha'er shouted loudly with a crying voice.
Zangjiao patted her on the head: "What are you shouting early in the morning, don't go and close the window." ”
He'er looked back puzzled: "The maid was afraid of the wind last night, so she closed the window." Hey, I think I'm so sleepy that I forgot, and I closed it in my dream, and the lady forgives it. He hurried to close the sash.
"That's it, I think it's because it's hot and the window is open outside, and the wind blows open the sash of Rig at night." Don't blame yourself, fetch water to freshen up. Today, Chang'an should be asked to go out to find out the news, but someone from the Criminal Department will come to check on Yuzhen. Zangjiao shook her head and ordered.
By the time He'er finished serving Zangjiao and freshening up, Qiulan and the others had already come in to serve. Zang Jiao thought about it and called Qin Ge to come in and tell her about yesterday's jade pendant, and told her and Chang'an not to leak it.
Although Qin Ge was a little surprised, he immediately responded. Not long after breakfast, there was a message from the Shang Palace of Yuxiu Palace, saying that Concubine Niangniang summoned people to go to Yuxiu Palace to speak. Zangjiao didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and took He'er there.
As soon as I entered Yuxiu Palace, I felt that something was wrong, Concubine Shu was wearing palace clothes and sitting on the main hall with a pink face, and next to her sat the triumphant Song Zhaoyi. Many Xuanyi Mu and Green-clothed Shanggong stood on both sides and stared at him.
Zangjiao didn't know what to do, stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Shu and Song Zhaoyi, bowed her head and stood on the ground waiting for Concubine Shu's orders.
Concubine Shu raised her slender eyebrows and looked Zangjiao up and down for a long time, and snorted from her nose: "Talented, I thought you were a docile and well-behaved person, but look at what you have done recently, it is a bit shocking."
first rescued He An Diji by the water, and then went to the funeral palace late at night to see the dead Lin Cairen, you are only afraid that your courage is bigger than the sky. The matter of saving people can be regarded as a coincidence, and this night visit to the funeral palace is really strange. Bengong really wants to know, what makes the talent so bold? ”
Zangjiao's heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly replied to Concubine Shu softly: "Niangniang, Lin Cairen and the concubine have known each other since they first entered the palace, and they have lived together in the Xixing Pavilion quite a lot. was shocked to hear that she had been killed, and the concubine just wanted to see her remains and do her best to show her sisterhood. It was the concubine who was too thoughtful and reckless, and hoped that the mother would forgive her sins. ”
"Yo, the talent is really good at talking, a good sister, I can't see it, the talent is still so affectionate." As far as I know, Lin Cairen has never come to see you once since you fell ill, where does this sisterhood begin? Actually let the talented people even dare to break into the funeral palace? Song Zhaoyi squinted at Zangjiao with a pair of apricot eyes.
Concubine Shu listened to Song Zhaoyi's words and thought so, sat on the chair and sneered: "Yes, it's just that you have seen a few times in the palace and made you break into the funeral palace at night, who is such a nonsense to coax?" Talented people, I advise you to be honest and tell your intentions, otherwise you won't blame this palace for being ruthless! After saying that, he slapped the case so hard that the tea bowl on the table almost jumped.
Zang Jiao had to bend down and kneel on the cold floor and replied: "The concubine is indeed just anxious to see Sister Lin, and she has no bad intentions, and Commander Yulin Weidu sent a sergeant to follow, so she was bold, and she hurriedly looked at it and returned to the palace." ”
"And Yu Linwei with him? You're so bold.
A talented person who is personally sealed by an official family, but he and the military men in the palace go to such a remote and deserted place late at night, even if he quietly fornicates, it is unknown! Concubine Shu raised a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a look of surprise and hatred.
He'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed hurriedly: "Concubine Mingjian, my family is talented and quiet, and the funeral palace is also a slave and a few people such as the maid and the deacon of the palace Qin, and there is no overstepping the courtesy, how can there be any fornication!" ”
"Huh! The good rules in the palace of the talented people, the slaves and maids dare to answer without permission. It seems that talented people rely on the grace of the official family to give a palace alone, and they live in a palace that is too comfortable, and they don't even have the rules! Come on, give me this unrespectful in my eyes! Concubine Shu looked furious and pointed at He'er and shouted.
The two elderly Xuanyi Mumu of Yuxiu Palace suddenly came up and dragged He'er aside, one grabbed He'er's hair, and the other slapped He'er left and right and hit He'er's face, and after a few clicks, He'er's face was red and purple swollen, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.
Listening to the crisp sound in the hall, He'er's whimpering sound was endless, Zangjiao's heart was anxious and painful, she stood up and hurriedly ran to He'er's side and pleaded with her head and face with her hands to intercede with Concubine Shu: "Niangniang is angry, this maid is a concubine who has served with her since she was a child, and she brought it in when she entered the palace." I forgot the rules in a hurry, and begged my mother for forgiveness.
It was the concubine who should not go out late at night and violated the palace rules, and the concubine was willing to accept the punishment for the crime. It's just that the matter of fornication is nothing, and the concubine can't admit it if she dies. If the mother doesn't believe it, she can ask the sergeant who accompanied the palace last night, and the concubine is innocent and worthy of heaven and earth. ”
Concubine Shu and Song Zhaoyi exchanged glances, and Song Zhaoyi sneered: "It's okay, since the talented people like to pull these many people into the water, and the mother is in charge of the palace rules and etiquette, she will use the punishment of the upper and lower people in her palace to interrogate carefully, and there will always be some clues." ”
At this point, don't say that Zangjiao is a smart person in ice and snow, even a stupid person, and he knows that Concubine Shu and Song Zhaoyi are special today to find trouble for themselves, and it is useless to justify it.
Zangjiao's white teeth bit her cherry lips and said in a deep voice: "The concubine originally thought that Niangniang's status was noble, and there was a clear distinction between public and private in the harem. Today, he poured sewage on the concubine in vain, and he had to climb the innocence of the concubine and the innocent people in the palace, and the concubine only asked to explain it in front of the queen. ”
When the queen was mentioned, Concubine Shu became more and more annoyed, and her coquettish face was twisted and hideous: "The slut still dares to say that the palace is not, what a big boldness!" You don't want to save Emperor An and use the queen to press the palace, the palace also wants to say that the emperor and Chang Tai'er fell into the water, and you took the opportunity to push it down! ”
"Sister Shu, this talented person is not very old, but he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. It seems that if she didn't let the talented people understand the methods of this harem today, she would not have confessed her guilt. Song Zhaoyi put a fire on the ground next to her at the right time.
"Sister Song is right, come on, take the biqi silk and give the soft and snow-white little hands of the talented people a taste." Concubine Shu laughed coldly, "This biqi silk is smooth and sharp, and the summer heat is just right to relieve the heat and boredom of the talented people." ”
A few Xuanyi Mom stepped forward to press Zangjiao to the ground, and one of them approached Zangjiao with a handful of sharp bamboo silk skin in his hand without smiling: "Talented people are so blessed, this Biqi Silk Niangniang is rare to appreciate people, as long as this bamboo silk is stuffed along the fingernails of talented people, the taste should be wonderful." ”
Song Zhaoyi's eyes were full of light, and she stared at the dark red bamboo silk with burning eyes and said with a smile: "Jue Cairen, I advise you to explain clearly the things such as breaking into the funeral palace at night, colluding with the sergeant, and pushing and An Diji falling into the water."
Otherwise, this bamboo silk is into the flesh, but life is better than death. I remember that Wan Jieyu received this Biqi silk that year, a pair of weak and boneless little hands can be completely wasted, and in the future, don't say that playing the piano and embroidery, is to take a chopstick, this hand is shaking. ”
Zangjiao opened her phoenix eyes, her eyes were misty with tears, and she saw that the Xuanyi Mu who was holding the bamboo silk had a cruel smile on her face and ordered: "Hold down the talent and cover your mouth well, don't be too comfortable, screaming loudly will disturb the peace of this Yuxiu Palace." ”
Hiding Jiao's body couldn't help but be firmly pressed by the two mothers behind her with their knees on her back, her body was in pain, and she watched with wide eyes as Namu grabbed her right hand and slowly pierced the bamboo silk between her fingers.
