Chapter 51: I have something to ask
The window suddenly became empty again, Qin Kexin looked at the moonlight outside the door, and his heart suddenly fell into contemplation.
If she could, Qin Kexin didn't want to stay and fly with Xiao Shujun and stay together, but the difference between the two of them was too great, and they were destined to be unhappy.
Qin Kexin smiled bitterly and shook these unrealistic ideas out of his head.
After closing the window, a strange figure suddenly stood up under the big tree.
The woman in the fiery red shirt combed her flowing cloud bun and held a bottle of long whip in her hand, and looked viciously in the direction where Qin Kexin had just closed the window.
"Damn Qin Kexin! He actually dared to seduce His Royal Highness King Qin! ”
Xiao Ruoxue's eyes fell on the bright red cloth hanging in the courtyard.
If Xiao Ruoxue didn't guess wrong, these fabrics Qin Kexin should have been used to make canonization clothes for Concubine Li.
A vicious idea suddenly sprouted in her heart, Xiao Ruoxue hooked the corners of her lips and revealed a sinister smile.
She crept out the back door.
……
The next morning, Qin Kexin woke up from the bed in a daze, only to hear a sharp scream coming from the door.
Qin Kexin was suddenly frightened and sobered up, hurriedly put on her clothes, and came to the courtyard after a simple wash.
The scene in front of him also made Qin Kexin stunned.
It originally took three days, but the dyed material was splashed with black ink at the moment.
The red cloth, which was originally dyed extremely finely, looked shocking last time when it was not satisfied with a large area of ink stains.
Aunt Mei stood under the cloth and looked at Qin Kexin with tears in her eyes.
"How's that good? The clothes are about to be made in a month, and it will take a week to remake the materials. ”
If you delay the canonization of Concubine Li, it will be a great rebellion.
Qin Kexin frowned tightly, looking at the red cloth that was already inevitably out of shape.
What should I do now?
She stepped forward and looked at the large expanse of ink on the red cloth, but suddenly she smelled a familiar burst of sandalwood on the cloth.
If I remember correctly, I should have smelled this familiar fragrance in Xiao Shujun's bedroom yesterday.
Could it be that Xiao Shujun did this thing?
Shouldn't it, is it because he said two words to him yesterday, so he holds a grudge and uses this method to take revenge on himself?
That's a bit too much.
Qin Kexin shook her head, she didn't feel like Xiao Shujun could do this matter.
But soon, a new candidate immediately came to mind.
Thinking about it, it should be Xiao Ruoxue's unwilling, is it because she disturbed Xiao Ruoxue and Xiao Shujun yesterday, and the two complained to each other, so Xiao Ruoxue held a grudge and came up with such a way to deal with herself?
I have to say that Xiao Ruoxue will never grow up.
Qin Kexin frowned tightly, looking at the red cloth that had been ruined.
Qin Kexin knew that some things might be time to make a break.
"Let's go, let's go meet the saint."
Aunt Mei didn't react, and looked at Qin Kexin blankly, as if she couldn't understand what Qin Kexin meant.
Before Aunt Mei could react, Qin Kexin pulled Aunt Mei and came to the Kaiyuan Hall to meet the saint.
The man on the golden dragon throne glanced down at the two people below coldly.
"What do you two want to do?"
Qin Kexin raised his head without humility or arrogance and looked at the man on the golden dragon throne.
"Please ask the emperor to be the master of the people's daughters."
After finishing speaking, Qin Kexin bent down and kowtowed firmly.
Xiao Huang, who was in a high position, frowned slightly, "Why do you say this?" What grievances do you two have? ”
"The two of us originally came to the palace to work as tailors and sew canonized clothes for Concubine Li, but who knows, Xiao Ruoxue, the little county lord of King Qi's mansion, actually splashed ink on the red cloth we worked so hard to make for a small Sunday."
Hearing this, Xiao Huang couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Oh?"
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the little county lord's trip also delayed the canonization ceremony of Concubine Li, and asked the emperor to be the master of the people's daughters."
Qin Kexin's words are clear, every sentence is heart-wrenching, no matter what, this time Xiao Ruoxue must make Xiao Ruoxue pay the price, otherwise Xiao Ruoxue will still think that she is easy to bully.
"Is this really the case?" Xiao Huang turned around and looked at the little eunuch who had been serving beside him.
The little eunuch nodded, this matter has caused an uproar in the entire palace today.
"What evidence do you have to prove that this was done by the little county lord alone?"
Qin Kexin, who was asked by this sentence, was speechless, and now the two of them were just suspecting that Xiao Ruoxue had done it, and as for the real evidence, they didn't have it.
So Qin Kexin lowered his head unwillingly, "Please also ask the emperor to give us three days, we will definitely find out the culprit of the matter." ”
Although they had asked the emperor for three days to find out the truth of this incident, two or three days was too tense.
"What should I do now? We can't just ask Xiao Ruoxue, right? Xiao Ruoxue is not a fool, how could she admit it so easily? ”
Aunt Mei looked out the window with a sad face, and spread her hands helplessly.
But Aunt Mei's words seemed to inspire Qin Kexin all of a sudden.
"Wait, who's to say we can't just ask? Let's go, let's go to Xiao Ruoxue's house now! ”
This startled Aunt Mei, and Aunt Mei hurriedly grabbed Qin Kexin's hand tightly, her eyes widening nervously.
"Crazy, huh? How can he possibly admit it, or are you going to be convicted of slander? ”
Aunt Mei didn't know that Qin Kexin and Xiao Ruoxue had something to do with each other, so she would not admit it so stupidly if she asked so easily.
At that time, Xiao Ruoxue refused to admit it, who knew that with the blessing of the relationship between the emperor's relatives and relatives, the emperor would definitely not hesitate to Xiao Ruoxue.
Aunt Mei's worries were not groundless, but no matter what, Qin Kexin always had to try it once to know the result.
If they didn't ask directly, they wouldn't be able to catch Xiao Ruoxue's words at all, and they wouldn't be able to identify Xiao Ruoxue as the murderer just based on the scent of sandalwood on those cloths.
So the two of them drove the carriage to King Qi's mansion.
After getting out of the carriage, Qin Kexin couldn't help but feel slightly distracted, she hadn't returned to this place for an unknown amount of time, and now that she came back, everything was still familiar.
As soon as Qin Kexin stepped into the yard, he saw Mama Qiao who was leaning over her waist to water the flowers in the garden.
In an instant, all the emotions suddenly surged into his heart, and Qin Kexin opened his mouth tremblingly.
"Mother......
Qiao Mama, who was watering the flowers, heard this familiar call, and suddenly froze in disbelief, turned her head slowly, and her surprised eyes suddenly locked on Qin Kexin's body.
"Fuhui!"
Mama Qiao's eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden, and she walked towards Qin Kexin tremblingly.
It's not a dream in front of her, and Mama Qiao can't believe her eyes.
Qin Kexin saw Mama Qiao, who had obviously become old, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she had only left the palace for a long time, but she didn't expect Mama Qiao to be haggard like this.
"Mother, why is your face so ugly, haven't you had a good rest recently?"
Qin Kexin hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ruoxue's hand and sat on the stone bench with Xiao Ruoxue.
Xiao Ruoxue, who had obviously become much older, just smiled faintly.
"It's nothing, after you left, I always can't eat well, and I can't sleep enough, maybe I miss you too much, I saw you today, I thought I was dreaming."
Hearing this, Qin Kexin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and her eyes quickly turned red again. He raised his hand and gently brushed a strand of broken hair from Mama Qiao's ear behind her ear.
"Mother, take a good look at you and see if you are not dreaming now, I will stand in front of you alive."
In an instant, tears immediately filled the eyes of the two again, and Mama Qiao nodded, her voice almost trembling.
"Wow, I've been looking forward to it day and night, and I've finally got you."
After the mother and daughter pair up, there were suddenly a lot of topics.
Mama Qiao asked if Qin Kexin had a good life after she went out, after all, she and Qin Kexin had lived for many years, and they had already regarded Qin Kexin as their own daughter.
Now seeing Qin Kexin wearing silk and a silver hairpin on her head, Mama Qiao's heart is also relieved.
"Your life in the people should be much more miserable than that of the palace. I see your chin is a lot sharper than before. ”
Mama Qiao looked at Qin Kexin, who had become emaciated in front of her, and couldn't wait to suffer this for Qin Kexin.
But Qin Kexin just smiled and shook her head, and Aunt Mei on the side saw that Mama Qiao and Qin Kexin were so mother-daughter in love, and she was also envious in her heart.
"Don't worry, she already has her own tailor's shop now. Now she is the treasurer of the famous Silver Silk Hall. ”
After hearing what Aunt Mei said, Mama Qiao also seemed a little incredulous, and she looked at Qin Kexin with wide eyes.
"I really didn't expect it, my Fuhui really grew up." Mama Qiao nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Kexin smiled embarrassedly, in fact, even she didn't expect it to develop like this.
"Mother, in fact, I came today to find the county lord, I don't know if the county lord can be in the mansion today?"
When Mama Qiao heard that Qin Kexin was here to find Xiao Ruoxue, she was stunned for a moment.
"What? You come to the county lord. Have you offended the county lord again? ”
Qin Kexin knew that Mama Qiao would think of this aspect.
"Mother, don't worry. I won't have a conflict with the county lord, I just came here this time to ask the county lord about something. ”
Mama Qiao glanced at Qin Kexin suspiciously.
It seemed that he didn't quite believe what Qin Kexin said, but looked at Qin Kexin suspiciously.
