Chapter 120: An Unexpected Discovery

"This is the origin of 'wildfires are inexhaustible, and spring breezes blow and regenerate'." Dou Lianyi listened with interest, Ji'er frowned, and couldn't help but worry: "This is the palace, once it burns, it's terrible, no." ”

immediately called Xiuzhu, who was waiting outside the pavilion, and pointed it out to her while instructing: "Go and see, if someone really sets a fire, tell him to come up." ”

Xia Ruotong glanced at her: "You, you are worried about your life, it's a pity not to be the queen." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Dou Lianyi looked left and right, frowned and repeatedly admonished: "Don't say this again, otherwise the disaster will come out of your mouth, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

"There is no one else here, and besides, the queen doesn't seem to be a stingy person." Xia Ruotong was very unimpressed by her caution.

No matter how generous the queen is, she is also a woman, and it is inevitable that a woman will be jealous, and she is now living in the middle palace, and she is not allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch, and it is understandable that the queen does not like her, the former queen.

While talking, Xiuzhu brought a little eunuch over, stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare anymore, beg the nobles and Mrs. Dou to spare their lives." ”

"What is he doing down there?" came up and begged for mercy, it seems that it is not a trivial matter, Dou Lianyi asked Xiang Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu kicked the guy: "The daring minion, in broad daylight, dared to burn money in the palace, fortunately it was not discovered by others, otherwise I am afraid that the beating will be light." ”

"You're so bold, don't you know that this is against the palace rules?" Even Xia Ruotong, who has always been arrogant, thinks that this guy is too out of line, not to mention that this is the first city in the world, even a big family like his own family can't burn this thing casually.

Dou Lianyi thought deeper: "Who did you burn it for?" ”

"Slave ......" The little eunuch raised his eyes and glanced at her, quickly lowered his head, and stopped talking.

She felt more and more that there was a problem, stroked the pearl earrings, and said in a rambling voice: "If you don't want to talk about it here, it's okay, let's stay with the Huanggong bus of the Internal Affairs Office later." ”

"Don't, beg Madame to spare the minions." Knock knock, the little eunuch kept knocking on the ground with his head, and blood oozed from his forehead.

Dou Lianyi frowned, "Okay, don't knock, 1510 said, if you hide half a sentence, you know the consequences." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch raised his head as if he was determined, his forehead was smashed, and he was a bloody wolf, "Slave Xiao Yingzi, it's Xiao Anzi...... Younger brother, today is my brother's monthly festival, afraid that the fire at night will attract attention, deliberately picked the twilight time when people are in the worst spirits of the day, and picked the foot of the sparsely populated rockery, I don't want to, or was discovered by the two masters. ”

When she heard Xiao An's name, she was shocked, and glanced at Xia Ruotong, who was startled at the same time, which was too coincidental.

"Your brother committed suicide in fear of sin, and he deserved to die." Xia Ruotong said sharply.

Xiao Yingzi looked sad: "The slave's brother has always been cautious, he was an errand in the flower and wood house, because he was very responsible, he was picked by An Niangniang to serve, and he didn't want to be sent to Mrs. Dou in a few days, thinking that his brother had made an accident to make An Niangniang unhappy, but the slave really didn't believe that his brother would harm people." ”

"You just said that Xiao Anzi served Emperor An's concubine?" Dou Lianyi was taken aback, he had deliberately investigated Xiao Anzi's origin before, and there was no record of serving An Jingliang, if Xiao Yingzi didn't lie, it was An Jingliang who deliberately erased this paragraph.

So, why is she hiding it?

Usually, only if there is a ghost in the heart, will you think about erasing the traces.

"It was only ten days before he was sent out." Xiaoyingzi confirmed it again.

Dou Lianyi stroked the earrings and was silent, until the people on the ground were about to step away from the wordless silence, and then they spoke: "You go down, don't leak a word of what you just said, otherwise you will die, I am afraid that I don't know how I died." ”

"Mrs. Xie Dou forgives, and the servant promises not to say a word." Xiao Yingzi was pardoned, and thanked Xia Ruotong again, and then got up and left.

Xia Ruotong stared at the back that seemed to be fleeing, and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect my sister to have such a powerful side, you see that he is scared." ”

"It's not that I scared him, but An Jingliang would not let him go if he heard this." There was a coolness in her eyes, and she slowly explained the reason.

The face of the person opposite changed, and he blurted out: "Could it be that Tranquility is really wronged?" Or, is there a mastermind behind her? ”

"Tranquility may be wronged, or may be an accomplice." Dou Lianyi stood up, straightening his clothes that had been sitting for a long time and were a little wrinkled, "It seems that I have to go and see this old neighbor, sister, sister go first." ”

Xia Ruotong got up and couldn't help sighing: "I still plan to have dinner with my sister, but I can't do it, in this palace, it's difficult for people to be quiet for a while." ”

"Next time, next time my sister will accompany you."

When the last word was spoken, Dou Lianyi had already walked out of the pavilion.

Xinzheku is a place in the palace that specializes in heavy work, and it is generally some palace maids and eunuchs who have committed crimes are sent here as a punishment.

And Tsubaki rice is undoubtedly the hardest work here, Dou Lianyi entered a large courtyard under the guidance of the steward eunuch, it was dinner time, some people squatted under the courtyard wall and picked up the food indiscriminately, and some were still working.

When I asked, I knew that everyone had set a task every day, and they were not allowed to eat until they were completed.

"Tranquility is like someone looking for it."

It wasn't until the steward eunuch shouted at the person next to him, and the person who was called put down the thick stick in his hand and slowly turned around, that Dou Lianyi vaguely recognized her.

He was dressed in gray clothes, his hair was unkempt, and his face was not bright, especially his hands were so rough that he couldn't look like it.

"What are you staring at, don't kneel yet." The steward eunuch scolded while flying up a leg aimed at her knee, and Tranquility fell to the ground with both knees bent, but her head was unyieldingly high, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to eat the ripples in front of her.

Dou Lianyi frowned: "I want to talk to her alone." ”

"Please." The steward eunuch politely left with a sense of humor.

"Dou Lianyi, are you here to see how miserable I am? Now that you see it, you can go. "Tranquility is like gritting teeth, if eyes can kill, Dou Lianyi is afraid that he has died countless times.

She snorted slightly: "I'm not so bored, I came today to hear your confession with my own ears." ”

"Hahaha......" Tranquility burst into laughter, like a night owl's scream, and such a gloomy place sounded creepy.

Dou Lianyi tried his best to resist the urge to get out, and only stared at her coldly and asked, "Is it so funny?" ”
