20. Chapter 20

The emperor looked down at the girl kneeling on the ground, and he didn't believe that it was this girl who poisoned her.

The princess pointed to the beads and said: "Zhou'er, the mother concubine is not undocumented, why should Ku'er ask the mother and the princess about their preferences separately before making pastries." Whether she doesn't like others to watch her make pastries, or does she have ulterior motives? Pillars, what do you say you see in the kitchen? ”

The pillar looked at Ku'er tremblingly: "The little one said that she wanted to learn to make dim sum with the Ku'er girl, but the Ku'er girl didn't seem to like the little one by her side, so she drove the little one out." ”

Ku'er looked up at him, his eyes were full of incredulity, and when he saw the pillar bowing his head, he knew that he was also bought.

The water boat also looked at the pillar angrily, and suddenly sneered: "Mother, who doesn't know that you cover the sky with one hand in this mansion, if you are ......"

"The boat is talking nonsense." Shui Zhuwen coldly stopped what the water boat was going to say next, although he also doubted, but how could this kind of thing be said clearly.

"Aunt, father, fortunately, my mother and I have nothing to do, I think Sister Ku'er is also dizzy for a while, thinking that Sister Ku'er is young, so forget about it."

Ku'er lowered her head and held the hand of the water boat tightly, she didn't need the sympathy of others.

The emperor looked at Ku'er who was kneeling on the ground, and his hand under his sleeve clenched slightly: "Okay, what should I do, why should I go, fortunately, the mother and the princess are fine." ”

"I ......"

The water boat pulled the bitter child who was about to speak: "Thank you Uncle Huang, the boat will retire first." The grace of the princess, the waterboat is in mind. He picked up the bitter child and left the room.

The emperor dismissed everyone and asked the princess to go back and have a good rest. got up and looked at Concubine Jin: "You can rest well." ”

"Your Majesty." Concubine Jin suddenly grabbed the emperor's hand, tears flashed in her eyes, "Can't the emperor stay with his concubines?" ”

The emperor turned around and gently pushed her hand away, and looked at it for a long time before slowly speaking: "Concubine Jin, let's have a good rest." ”

Concubine Jin watched the emperor go out, holding the tent tightly in her hand, for what the woman died, she still couldn't win.

Ku'er was pulled all the way back to the waterboat by the waterboat, and she threw his hand away angrily: "I didn't do it, I asked her to intercede for something." ”

The waterboat closed the door of the room, and was a little displeased with her words: "This thing was obviously done by the concubine, and there is anything else in this palace that you don't understand." It's rare for the princess to intercede for you today, so let's just go down this staircase. ”

Ku'er wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and ran inside and lay on the bed without speaking. She could hear the young master's affection for the princess, but how could she tell who she was? It's just embarrassing to say it now.

The water boat sighed and went in, half lying beside her, holding her red and swollen face that had been beaten, getting up and going over to get medicine to help her apply: "I know that today's incident is because you have been wronged, isn't it good to be wronged for a moment of grievance for a lifetime of peace?" ”

Ku'er sneered: "Do you think the matter is over now?" A lifetime of tranquility is just what you think. ”

The hand of the water boat helping her with the medicine suddenly stopped, and she was also a little annoyed, and put the medicine directly on the bed: "Ku'er, you have been wronged in this matter today, but don't forget that I am still the young master in this water boat, and I still have the final say." "Throw yourself out of the gang directly, is this bitter child getting used to being unpresentable? He would not have understood the meaning of those words.

Holding the bottle of medicine tightly, tears slipped down drop by drop, it was only ten days, and so many things had to happen in only ten days.

The waterboat arrived in the courtyard and saw the master giving a at the door. He passed slowly, as if he hadn't heard his master for a long time.

Bai Sheng finished blowing the song undisturbed, and put away the jade flute: "Since when have you also learned to forbear, and you have also learned to endure the calm for a while." ”

"Master." The water boat was a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that Master had heard what they had just said. He sat down and poured a cup of tea for the master: "Ku'er's temper will be bullied in the future in the house, and the apprentice must let her understand that sometimes she can protect herself by bowing her head." ”

"Leaving is more protective of yourself." Bai Sheng's words were a little cold, why should a dignified princess be angry with them here.

"Master." Hearing the word leaving, a sour feeling of fear suddenly welled up in my heart. He won't, and can't let Ku'er leave here: "Does Master also think that today's incident is wrong?" ”

Bai Sheng didn't answer him, but changed the subject: "The princess also made it clear today, it seems that your relationship with the princess has been decided." ”

The water boat was displeased, and said impatiently: "The apprentice did not agree to this matter, the princess and the apprentice are just cousins, how can they talk about their relatives." ”

Bai Sheng sipped the bitter tea in the cup: "This matter of Aunt and Concubine Jin must not be something you can refuse with a word of yes or no, feel at ease to be your concubine." ”

The waterboat returned to the room, and Ku'er was already asleep, but her face was stained with tears. Sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her sleeping face, she frowned even in her dreams. Master said, if you like it, let her go, here, too many people are staring at her, too many people want her life.

"Ku'er, I can't let you go, whether I'm selfish or domineering, I'll do my best to protect you, as long as you stay by my side." changed his clothes and went to bed, wrapped her in his arms, played with her little hands, and said a little childishly: "Ku'er, you signed a deed of sale to me, in black and white, you can't cheat." ”

When Ku'er woke up, the waterboat was still asleep, and she slowly sat up, wrapped her knees around her, and made herself into a ball. She didn't understand why she was arguing with him for something, and she didn't like this kind of self at all. I don't know when the cold body was wrapped into a warm embrace, and she leaned quietly without saying anything.

Wrapping her in his arms, coveting the faint medicinal fragrance on her body, she has been taking a medicinal bath all year round, and this smell almost emanates from her body. Hold her cold hands: "Ku'er, are we patient, wait until the imperial uncle leaves, I will take you out of the world for a walk, let's go out of the world." ”

Ku'er leaned into his arms and nodded gently: "Okay." She closed her eyes and didn't speak, and when her father left, she would leave too.

In the morning, the emperor was going to go out to inspect a few places, and he wanted to be accompanied by a water boat, but in the end he didn't speak, how could he not see the turmoil in this family.

Ku'er sorted out her clothes, the waterboat was practicing swords in the yard, and Ku'er suddenly ran out of the room: "Young master, where is Xue'er?" "She hasn't seen Cher since yesterday.

The water boat put away his hand and howled, and looked left and right: "I haven't seen Xue'er since yesterday." Spring flowers, autumn chrysanthemums. He called the two out of the room, "Have you seen Cher?" Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, they were a little anxious, this Xue'er and the two of them have been raising it for more than five years. took Ku'er's hand and went out, "Don't worry, let's go out to find out, where may we be greedy for fun." ”

The two searched in the yard, then went outside to look for it, first went to the back mountain, and Ku'er went in and looked at the mountain: "Xue'er, Xue'er." "There are a lot of small animals in it, but there is no Cher.

After searching the entire woods, they didn't see Cher's shadow, so they had to go back and continue looking.

When the two found the kitchen, they saw Xue'er and the pillar who was so frightened that he peed his pants, and Xue'er was still biting his wrist tightly, and her eyes were full of encouragement.

"Cher let go." The watercraft went over and spoke sternly.

Xue'er whimpered, let go of the pillar and ran into Ku'er's arms, rubbing in her arms like a coquette, putting away the fierceness in her eyes, and looking at the waterboat with some pity.

The waterboat went over and looked at the wrist of the pillar, which had been bitten out of blood, and there were still a lot of medicine powder scattered on the ground, he crouched down and dipped some of his fingers into the tip of his nose. His gaze instantly became gloomy, and he grabbed his neck very quickly: "Who instructed you to frame Ku'er." ”

Zhuzi's eyes were full of fear, he had been stared at by this fox all night, and when he wanted to take these things away in the morning, he was found by this fox again, and he kept biting his wrist and not letting go: "Little, the little prince atoned for his sins, yes, yes...... Belch. An arrow went straight through his throat, and blood sealed his throat.

Ku'er flew after him but only saw a black back, and when he came back, he shook his head at the water boat.

A little cook passed by, and when she saw the dead man in front of the little prince, she called out directly, and she was stunned on the spot.

In the solemn hall, the emperor's face became more and more ugly, looking at the corpse on the ground.

"What does the mother concubine mean by this, before this person died, his son was by his side, so doesn't the mother concubine think that this thing should be done by her son?"

Bai Sheng looked at the person on the ground, squatted down and looked at the arrow around his neck: "This arrow is more than half in the throat, and the person who shoots the arrow is at least a hundred meters away." ”

"The pillar has always been an honest man, how could he suddenly be killed." The princess looked at Ku'er sharply, and her words were even sharper.

"I don't know if my mother will care about being honest or not."

"Alright, stop arguing." The old lady suddenly spoke, "For a maid to quarrel day and night, boat, your mother is the head of the house, how can you blame your mother, this matter should have been handled by your mother." ”

The emperor called Zheng Xi: "There have been assassination murders in this palace one after another, you send more people to investigate clearly, and there will be no more murders." ”

Zheng Xi took the order to go out, and the emperor looked at the people on the ground: "Zhou'er, you said that he was the one who poisoned him yesterday." ”

The water boat nodded and put the medicine bag in his hand on the table: "This is the medicine bag he wanted to take and throw away this morning, if it weren't for Xue'er, I'm afraid he would have taken things out of the room." ”

Hearing that Emperor Xue'er was interested, he looked at the little fox in Ku'er's arms: "Is that Xue'er?" Can you let me see? ”

Ku'er hugged Xue'er over and handed her to the emperor. But Xue'er immediately turned over and returned to Ku'er's arms, looking at the emperor with watery eyes.

The emperor laughed and asked the body to be carried away: "It's really a spiritual thing." He got up and looked at the princess, and there was displeasure in his eyes: "The princess has always won the hearts of the people by running the house, I don't want to hear the truth, I hope this kind of thing will not happen again." ”
