Caiyan glanced at Ling Ruo gratefully, and then said hurriedly: "The slave maid found that Gonggong Deng beside Wen Guiren came out of the treasury very suspiciously today, so she followed him all the way to the imperial dining room, and found that the stew pot used by the humble nobleman had a mezzanine on the side wall, and the red ginseng that was missing in the treasury was used in these mezzanines. By the way, the humble man used a stew pot painted with yellow orioles singing willows. The slave maid originally wanted to write a letter to tell the mother, but was discovered by Wen Guiren, and the letter was intercepted by her, she said the name of the slave and the maid, and even smeared honey on the slave and maid, leading the ants to crawl, and the slave and maid could only say it, and asked the mother to forgive the sin. ”

Seeing Caiyan's appearance, how could Ling Ruo endure to be harsh, such a disgusting and terrifying punishment, I was afraid that I would not be able to endure it if I changed anyone, "I don't blame you for this matter." ”

Guerjia listened to Caiyan's words one by one, and said a little strangely: "After you said it, Wen Guiren let you go, this is a little different from her person." ”

"No, Wen Guiren didn't let me go, and then Concubine Hui came, and she ordered someone to let the slave go." Cai Yan's words surprised Ling Ruo, and she hurriedly asked, "How did Concubine Hui come, and when you left, did Concubine Hui leave with you?" ”

Caiyan shook her head and said, "No, when the slave and maid left, Concubine Hui was still with Wen Guiren." That's all the slave knows. ”

Ling Ruo turned his head and saw Yang Hai leading the two little eunuchs to carry water over, and said, "Okay, you go down to clean your body first and wash it a few more times." After sending Caiyan down, Ling Ruo raised his feet and wanted to go out, but was grabbed by the Guerjia clan and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Ling Ruo looked deep and said: "I'm going to Yanxi Palace, I think Concubine Hui didn't save her by chance this time, it is possible that she ......" She was so confused that she didn't know what she was talking about, took a few deep breaths and said: "In short, now that she is with Wen Rutian, I feel very bad, and I am worried that she will be in danger." ”

Guerjia stopped and said: "I know what you are thinking, but Concubine Hui will be fine, even if Wen Rutian is bold, he will not dare to do anything to her blatantly, don't mess with yourself." The top priority at the moment is to expose Wen Rutian's evil deeds, in case she destroys the evidence, then everything will be useless, and the next time you want to cure Wen Rutian, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

Under her persuasion, Ling Ruo gradually calmed down, what the Guerjia clan said was indeed the most reasonable, and it was necessary to publicize her evil deeds before Wen Rutian had time to react, and not to give her a chance to breathe like last time.

Thinking like this, she called Xiao Zhengzi and said: "You go to the imperial dining room quickly, find an excuse to break the humble stew cup, remember, you must see the red ginseng scattered in the stew pot by An Lu, the head of the imperial dining room." ”

"The minions obey." Xiao Zhengzi also knew that things were tense, and quickly agreed and ran out, all the way to the imperial dining room, at this time, because the lunch had just been made, it was relatively empty, there were a few eunuchs gathered together to chat, and a few played dice there, and there were piles of copper coins and scattered silver in front of them, and An Lu sat on a broad chair and slowly sipped tea.

Seeing the situation inside, Xiao Zheng Zi walked in with certainty, and when the little eunuch saw him, he hurriedly pushed his companions who were playing dice, and then walked over and said, "Gonggong Zheng, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Zhengzi pretended not to see the scenes of hurriedly stuffing copper, silver and silver into his arms, and said with a smile: "The master suddenly wants to eat bird's nest, don't I just come here?" Whoever calls us slaves, we must obey the master's orders. ”

The little eunuch greeted him and said: "That's the case, but Gonggong Zheng is an errand boy next to Concubine Xi, but I don't know how many people envy you." ”

Xiao Zhengzi smiled, his eyes swept over the cabinet with the stew cup, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to show too much urgency, so he walked to An Lu, who was still sipping tea, and bent down slightly and said, "Xiao Zhengzi asks Father-in-law An for peace." ”

An Lu's eyes opened, and he quickly put down the small purple sand teapot in his hand and said, "Yo, what is Xiao Zhengzi doing, don't kill our family, hurry up." Anyway, Xiao Zhengzi's interest made him very satisfied, "Since Concubine Xi Niangniang ordered you to come over, just hurry up and get busy, no one uses the stove at this time, you can choose which one is suitable for use, if you feel that the stove is not enough, just tell our family, let those few little cubs who are too idle to hatch eggs to help you." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa An." After doing the superficial work, Xiao Zhengzi didn't talk nonsense with An Lu anymore, and came to the cabinet, and sure enough, he found a stew pot painted with the pattern of yellow orioles singing willows inside, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, pretending to accidentally touch it, causing the stew cup to fall to the ground.

The sound of things breaking alarmed An Lu and a small eunuch, and they hurriedly came over to take a look, and when they found out that it was the one that the Liu family used on weekdays, their faces couldn't help but be a little ugly, if this was if the begonias came to stew ginseng soup later, how should they explain it.

Xiao Zhengzi pretended to be panicked and said: "Alas, Father-in-law An, I don't know why Lu Dao fell as soon as he was done, maybe this stew pot was put too outside, and he knocked it down without paying attention for a while." ”

"No, I remember that this stew pot was very inside." A small eunuch next to him scratched his head and muttered with some uncertainty.

An Lu didn't pay attention to his words, but just shook his head and said: "Xiao Zhengzi, it's not that our family is talking about you, whose things you smash are not good, you want to smash the humble noble, how can you let our family explain to the humble noble." ”

Xiao Zheng Ziwei responded, kicked those fragments inadvertently, kicked out the red ginseng hidden under the broken porcelain pieces, and then said in surprise: "Hey, what is this?" ”

An Lu glanced at it casually and said, "Isn't it red ginseng, what's so strange." As soon as the words fell, he felt that something was wrong, how could this empty stew pot be smashed and red ginseng appeared?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, he hurriedly squatted down, carefully examined the red fragments, and his face became more and more solemn, and even began to drip sweat on his forehead.

Xiao Zhengzi pretended not to know and said: "Father-in-law An, do you see what's going on?" ”

An Lu nodded complicatedly, got up and said to the group of eunuchs who came around: "You guys retreat first, our family has something to talk to Gonggong Zheng." ”

After the eunuchs retreated, An Lu took Xiao Zhengzi's hand and said, "Gonggong Zheng ......"

As soon as he heard this title, Xiao Zhengzi hurriedly excused himself and said: "You still call me Xiao Zhengzi, I can't afford this Zheng Gonggong." ”

An Lu wiped the tears on his forehead and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhengzi, you must help our family this time, otherwise such a big thing happened in the imperial dining room, if we investigate it, our family will die." ”
