Chapter 132: Who is the murderer?
Eavesdropping never wanted to be discovered, Ru Xuan sorted out her thoughts, stabilized her mind, and then replied loudly: "Beauty, it's a slave." β
Listening to the voice, it was Ru Xuan, Chang Zhaoyi glanced at Shang Meiren, and her expression changed slightly.
Shang Meiren collected Fang Cai's thoughts, cleared her throat, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Ru Xuan lied and replied: "The wine-stuffed balls made by the beauty in the small kitchen are now ready, see if you want to use them now?" β
Shang Meiren's eyelids drooped slightly when she heard this.
She couldn't remember when she told her what she was going to do.
Obviously, this is just a lie that Ru Xuan said casually.
It should be that Ru Xuan, Pan Xia and others were worried that Chang Zhaoyi would make trouble again, so they stayed outside the door in case of accidents.
I don't know if this helpful Ru Xuan, who is afraid of causing trouble to others, will have this hurdle in her heart.
Shang Meiren glanced at Chang Zhaoyi and wanted to find a reason to send her away.
But without waiting for Shang Meiren to exit, Chang Zhaoyi spoke first: "Since Shang Meiren hasn't had dinner yet, then the palace won't bother too much." β
"Where, if Chang Zhaoyi doesn't dislike it, it's not too late to leave after eating in Chunhui Palace." Shang Meiren said politely.
"No, I heard that Yunxuan's affairs are busy, so the palace should go back early." Chang Zhaoyi replied.
It's not a lie to say that things are busy.
Since Hu Cairen was pregnant, relying on her grace, she opened her mouth like Chang Zhaoyi to ask Cuiyi and Zhu Mei in her palace to serve.
Cui Yi and Zhu Mei have been listening to Yun Xuan for a long time, and they are quite heartfelt. But he is not compatible with Hu Cairen, and there are often disputes on weekdays.
Now Hu Cairen asked for Cuiyi and Zhu Mei by name, which is obviously to take revenge.
Although Chang Zhaoyi was reluctant in every way, she had to grit her teeth and respond because she had to maintain the impression of being dignified and virtuous in front of the emperor.
Now, Chang Zhaoyi still has to explain to Cuiyi and Zhu Mei how to "serve" Hu Cairen after arriving at Yaohua Pavilion.
"In this way, then there will be no Chang Zhaoyi." Shang Meiren replied lightly.
Chang Zhaoyi got up and prepared to leave, but outside Ru Xuan had already called Shuzhu to wait.
opened the door and raised his feet to leave, Shuzhu stepped forward and grabbed Chang Zhaoyi's arm.
"Congratulations to Chang Zhaoyi." Ru Xuan stood by the door and bowed.
Chang Zhaoyi glanced at Ru Xuan thoughtfully, and raised her feet.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around, glanced at Shang Meiren who went out to see her off, and said solemnly: "Shang Meiren, what this palace said today is true, you must remember to take it to heart." β
Shang Meiren was taken aback, glanced at Ru Xuan, and saw that she looked calm, so she nodded and responded: "The concubine knows." β
got a positive answer, Chang Zhaoyi took Shuzhu and left.
After Chang Zhaoyi walked a little farther, Shang Meiren went back to the house.
Ru Xuan was stunned in place and followed.
Sitting at the round table, Shang Meiren's white arms supported her forehead, thinking about the words of Chang Zhaoyi.
Catnip, miscarriage......
The real murderer, is it Hu Cairen or Chang Zhaoyi?
Was Chang Zhaoyi personally instructed, or did Hu Cairen recommend himself, and Chang Zhaoyi was just pushing the boat?
Chaumet couldn't figure it out.
However, this matter must be inseparable from the two of them, and as for who is the mastermind, it needs to be examined carefully.
Chaumet bowed her head in contemplation.
Ru Xuan stood aside quietly, seeing that Shang Meiren bowed her head and was silent, thinking that she was sad, she suddenly blamed herself even more.
His lips twitched several times, and it took a long time for him to spit out the words: "Beauty." β
Shang Meiren looked up, saw Ru Xuan, who had a heavy face, looking at her more entanglemently, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" β
Ru Xuan broke her fingernails and replied timidly: "Fang Cai, Chang Zhaoyi's words, the slaves and maids have heard them. β
"Oh." Shang Mei replied.
"Yes, the slave maid harmed the beauty...... Ru Xuan said ashamedly, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Do you believe all the nonsense Chang Zhaoyi said?" Shang Meiren smiled and comforted Ru Xuan: "I don't know what her purpose is when she comes to me!" β
Ru Xuan raised her head and looked at Shang Meiren, expressing her confusion.
Chang Zhaoyi came just to tell SΓΉ Shang Meiren who the real murderer was and clarify herself?
Shang Meiren sighed and said slowly: "When I was at home before, my parents regarded me as the pearl of their palms, but they raised me to be ignorant of the world. β
But when I got here, I found that everyone in the harem concubines was like a tiger, each with their own thoughts, and they were trampled under the feet of others if they were not careful. Although I don't know what the methods of others are, but Chang Zhaoyi's methods, I have indeed seen a lot......" Shang Meiren's expression darkened a little after she finished speaking.
Chang Zhaoyi's methods are indeed clever, she is a typical smiling tiger, and if she is not careful, she will be bitten, just from Pan Xia's mouth, Ru Xuan has heard several times that Shang Meiren was tripped by Chang Zhaoyi.
"Therefore, Chang Zhaoyi's words can only be listened to, and they can't be true." Shang Meiren comforted.
From this point of view, Chang Zhaoyi's words really can't be taken seriously.
What if, this Chang Zhaoyi is just here to instigate their master-servant relationship?
Ru Xuan was a little relieved at this time, and replied: "The slave knows." β
Shang Meiren saw that Ru Xuan's expression was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "That's it, you go and see if Pan Xia and Qiu Ling are done in the small kitchen, they are all here, and they are a little hungry." β
"Yes." Ru Xuan reluctantly squeezed a smile, answered Shang Meiren, and went to the small kitchen.
Here, Shuzhu was helping Chang Zhaoyi and slowly walked in the direction of Tingyunxuan.
It was just dark, and the lights were on.
Fortunately, the snow that fell a few days ago has not completely melted, and it is white, but it is also bright, saving the energy of lighting lanterns.
Chang Zhaoyi suddenly asked: "I heard that the things made in the small kitchen of Chunhui Hall are comparable to the Shang Food Bureau, have you feasted on it today?" β
Obviously, Chang Zhaoyi also heard the fact that Shuzhu was forcibly pushed away by Panxia and Qiu Liang.
Shuzhu blushed, lowered his head and scolded with a smile: "Niangniang knows how to make fun of slaves and maids, where can I feast on it?" Not to mention the small kitchen of Chunhui Palace, the ingredients are also pitiful, and the red bean cake made is even more unpalatable, and it is simply unpalatable! β
Chang Zhaoyi frowned and said, "No, some time ago, I heard that Princess Baoshou was a guest at Chunhui Hall on the winter solstice, and after eating the meal, she praised it, saying that the Shangshi Bureau couldn't make such delicious mutton dumplings!" Could it be that you girl deceived the palace? β
"How dare a slave? It's really unpalatable, maybe they're only good at cooking, not good at making dim sum. Shuzhu replied honestly.
"Perhaps." Chang Zhaoyi felt that Shuzhu's words were reasonable, but he didn't pursue it.
Shuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head silently.
The two continued walking, their footsteps rustling.
In the distance, a few palace maids came, carrying lanterns and walking in a hurry. R1152
