Chapter 583: Sending a Letter
"I didn't make a mistake." As soon as he said this, Mo Er suddenly became excited, and grabbed his clothes with both hands and made a big ripple in the water, "They wronged me." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing her like this, Zhilan became even more curious, and urged her to tell the matter quickly. Because of the cold weather and cold nights, the overseers went to rest early, so naturally no one would take care of them chatting.
Under Zhilan's repeated questioning, Mo Er finally told her the truth about being wronged, and Zhilan also knew that Mo Er was a slave of Chengqian Palace.
"Su Wenxi Concubine Niangniang treats her subordinates leniently, and never deliberately beats them, but it turns out that she is also a deaf ear, she misunderstood that you drove you out of the Chengqian Palace, why should you be punished to Xin Zheku for such heavy hard labor, it is really excessive." Zhilan said angrily, avenging Mo'er's grievances.
Mo Er already felt wronged, and when she said this, she was even more sad, shook her head again and again, and said that she had mistaken her master.
After the two of them finished wringing the last piece of clothing, they struggled to pick up the wooden basin, dried the clothes one by one, and then beat their sore backs back to their own place, and they slept on the bunk, next to each other.
After washing their faces briefly, the two climbed into bed in the dark, and just as Mo Er was about to sleep, Zhilan next to him suddenly said, "Mo Er, do you want to go out?" ”
Mo Er's dim gaze suddenly lit up because of her words, and he clenched Zhilan's arm and said, "You...... Do you have a way to get out? ”
No wonder Mo Er is so excited, every day in the Xin Shi Ku is like a year, as long as it is a person, he is not willing to stay here for even a moment.
"Mo'er, you scratched me." Zhilan frowned and shouted softly, Mo Er quickly loosened a little when she heard this, but still held on, "Sister Zhi'er, please tell me, what is the solution?" ”
"Alas, in fact, I don't know if this method will work." Zhilan hesitated for a moment and said: "I know Gonggong Xu, the head of the palace of the concubine Niangniang, if I can send a letter out of the palace and ask him to say a few kind words in front of the concubine Niangniang, maybe the concubine Niangniang is merciful and willing to rescue us from the palace." Because there were other people sleeping on the bunk, although they were separated by a distance, for fear that they would hear it, Zhilan said this very lightly.
"Guifei Niangniang......" Mo Er said worriedly: "I heard that Guifei Niangniang is not a good person, will she be willing to save us?" ”
"You stupid girl, don't you still understand the truth that hearing is false?" Zhilan glanced at Mo Er a little angrily, "We all thought that Concubine Xi was a good person, but what happened?" She's more vicious than anyone else, at least I haven't heard of the concubine Niangniang sending a palace person who made a mistake into the Xin Zheku. ”
Mo Er thought about it, not to mention that there was no second way to go at the moment, so he gritted his teeth and whispered: "In that case, Sister Zhilan, you will write a letter when you see the opportunity, and I will send it for my sister." ”
"You?" Zhilan exhaled in some surprise, and then said, "Can you?" This is no joke, once someone finds out, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin. "Xinzheku is different from other places in the palace, and you are not allowed to go out at will when you enter here.
"If you don't try, how can you know that the road won't work, not to mention that if you stay like this again, you will die sooner or later." Mo Er has never been a hesitant person, he will do it when he thinks of it, just like when he followed Ling Ruo into the palace with a dead face in order to achieve his goal.
Zhilan was warmed by what she said, and made up her mind: "Okay, it's too late to see clearly, tomorrow I will find an opportunity to write a letter, and you can take the Fa out to Gonggong Xu, he is now the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, and he has the appreciation of the concubine Niangniang, as long as he is willing to speak, this thing can be done." ”
Speechless all night, on the second day, Zhilan carried the overseer to find the unburned charcoal strips in the stove, because she couldn't find the paper, she could only tear off half of the single clothes she wore inside, and after writing it, she rolled it into a ball and secretly handed it to Mo'er.
Mo Er has been waiting for the opportunity to sneak out after getting the cloth group, but the supervisor is too strict to avoid it, just when she thought that she couldn't find a chance today, the manager of the Xin Zheku came over and called the overseer, I heard that it was a person who was lying on the bed and dying, so he asked him to go over and help clean up.
Wen Ying has left the palace and returned to his hometown a few years ago, and now the manager of Xin Zheku's surname is Tang, and everyone below calls him Tang Supervisor or Tang Supervisor.
Seeing that the overseer was leaving with Chief Manager Tang, Mo Er hurriedly found an opportunity to sneak out of the city, hurried to Yikun Palace, found Gonggong Xu, handed him the letter, and then turned back the same way. At this time, the overseer had already returned, and there were many people who were working to lose it, and he didn't find that there was one missing, but even so, Mo Er didn't dare to venture in, in case he was caught, it would be troublesome.
Thanks to Zhilan's cleverness, after finding Mo Er looking outside, she deliberately knocked over the half-washed wooden basin, causing water and clothes to spill all over the ground. After the overseer saw it, he came over and whipped Zhilan viciously, Mo Er took advantage of this opportunity and quickly slipped in, as for the palace people who were working with those people, although they saw it, they wouldn't say anything, for them, the most important thing was to finish the work in their hands quickly.
Mo Er and Zhilan didn't speak for a day, until when there was no one at night, Zhilan Fang whispered, "Did you hand it over to Gonggong Xu?" ”
"Well, I handed it over to Grandpa Xu with my own hands." Mo Er replied, and said as if he had found something: "I just found out today that the people in Yikun Palace are very good, I ran over like this, and they were not embarrassed, and Gonggong Xu was even more kind." ”
"I said a long time ago, hearing is false, seeing is believing, you, you just have too little experience, so you will be bullied." Zhilan said with some hatred, Mo Er just smirked and didn't argue with her, and when she said enough, she grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister Zhilan, then what are we going to do next?" ”
"Don't do anything, wait for news from Grandpa Xu." Zhilan let out a "swish" inhalation sound as she spoke, and Mo Er asked strangely, "What's wrong?" But I hurt you? ”
Zhilan hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's none of your business, it's the whips that oversaw just now." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, and by the light of the moon in the sky she could see a few shocking whip marks on her white arms, which had been wounded by the overseer during the day.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhilan, I hurt you." Mo Er said guiltily, if it weren't for helping her cover up, Sister Zhilan wouldn't have been beaten like this.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." Zhilan endured the pain and comforted: "I said the idea of this matter, it's already rare for you to risk the danger to deliver the letter, how can I blame you." Besides, compared to this bit of flesh and skin, the most important thing is to be able to get out of here. ”
"But......" Mo Er still felt uneasy, Zhilan smiled and said, "Okay, if you treat me as a sister, don't say these extraneous words anymore." Otherwise, I'm going to be angry. ”
