Chapter 168: The Beauty's Skirt Minister
Yang Fang noticed that something was wrong with her, and stepped forward to help her already old body to sit in the courtyard.
After a while, the grandmother muttered.
"Your Majesty, has you ever thought of Concubine Chen?" The old man only asked.
"Your Majesty and Niangniang's affairs, we are not easy to discuss as courtiers, but everyone in the palace knows that Your Majesty's imperial study is full of portraits of Niangniang, all of which are drawn by Your Majesty himself, as for whether it is what you want, I don't want to figure it out."
Grandma Sun smiled helplessly when she heard this, "I know that Your Majesty likes to paint Concubine Chen's Niangniang, when Niangniang was still alive, His Majesty liked to trace her eyebrows and eyes on paper, and said that Niangniang is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”
But what's the use of being beautiful alone, there are thousands of beauties around Your Majesty, and how many of them are ugly? Which girl is not a carefully selected woman from a big family, the etiquette and appearance are all the best choices, and this beauty is the least valuable in the harem.
"What do you want to know when you come to me today?"
She didn't say anything more, just asked indifferently.
"What happened in the palace back then, can you tell me about it? Also, do you know if there are any special marks on King Yi's body? If so, you can tell me about it, I ......."
"What's the use of mentioning that matter now, I was so anxious to tell Your Majesty the truth I saw, but Your Majesty still protects that woman, young man, I advise you not to know this secret, otherwise you will become the same as me, either blind or dumb."
The woman? It seems that grandma really knows something about this.
"Old man, you just said it, we also came here to find the truth back then." The two looked at each other and nodded
Grandma Sun sighed, as if thinking of the events of the year, the fire that consumed everything.
"After the unpleasantness between the mother and the majesty, the majesty asked the mother to go to the palace to relax first, at that time I thought that the majesty was special to the mother, but it was also this special to the mother brought disaster."
She said that her face was even more sad.
"It's fine when I first arrived at the palace, but one night, the dormitory of the palace suddenly went out of the water, and I watched the guards around the woman disappear near the dormitory, but what I said was that no one believed it, and even His Majesty thought I was talking nonsense."
"The woman...... Who is it? ”
"It's the Queen."
The two of them were so shocked by this sentence that they didn't know what they were talking about, and they even felt that there was an unknown secret behind the disappearance of the second prince.
"Do you know anything else about the second prince? Does he have any special imprints? His Majesty said that the second prince had a birthmark of a butterfly mark on his left shoulder, but is it true? ”
Grandma Sun nodded, "Yes, probably at the junction of the shoulder and arm, like a little butterfly, when the mother was buried in the fire, she tried her last strength to push the little prince to me, and told me to take someone to escape, and I did the same." ”
"It's just that I haven't escaped far, I was caught up by the people sent by the queen, they poked me blind, and snatched the little prince away, what happened in the end, I don't know, and then a kind person sent me here, and I can only spend the rest of my life here."
She smiled faintly, as if she had already thought about it, and shook her head and stopped talking.
Wei Qing and Yang Fang's expressions were shocked, how should I report this matter to His Majesty?
After a few more hasty chats, the two left under the pretext, but on the way back, no one's brows were loosened.
"What do you think about this?" Yang Fang was the first to speak, looking at Wei Qingsui on the side.
"Let's take a look at the situation, first confirm whether Du Lisheng is the second prince, as for the affairs of the year, it is not for you and me to interfere, it is better to shut up as much as possible."
Grandma Sun is the closest person to Niangniang, what she says is useless, they say it is useful?
"It's okay, now that we have confirmed that there is a mark, let's take a look first, and then let's not meddle in other things."
Wei Qingsui also understands this truth, after all, this is an internal affair of the royal family, and they as courtiers do not have the right to discuss it.
Walking back from Yongzhou, the two also discussed how to find an opportunity to see if Du Lisheng had a birthmark on his back.
"Take your time first, you have to contact first, it's okay for a while, let's go to the shops in the city and walk around more, otherwise, you suddenly say that you want to look at people's backs, that's not a hooligan."
"......" Wei Qing couldn't wait to plug his mouth, gave him a blank look, and then looked outside and stopped talking.
It's just that his head kept replaying Zhou Xinzhi's defensive eyes at that time.
What kind of person she is in her eyes.
He didn't know why he was thinking about it, but when he thought of her eyes that day, his heart throbbed, he wasn't a bad person, she shouldn't have looked at him like this.
But even if that were the case, what could he do? His proximity was also disrespectful to her.
From the beginning he was not qualified to stand by her side.
"By the way, Your Majesty is also curious, why there are so few Qingguzi this time."
"Next time I go back, you can help me bring a message, I forgot about the matter of looking for the second prince recently."
"Huh! Good fellow, you are really a beautiful lady, and you can even deceive Your Majesty. ”
Wei Qingsui no longer responded to him, closed his eyes and rested quietly, and began to think about the process from the first time he met Zhou Xinzhi to the later moment her figure was engraved in his mind.
It's beautiful, but he can't get close, probably, this is his fate.
Zhou Xinzhi looked at Du Jiu beside her and was speechless for a while.
"Why are you coming along?" Du Lisheng and Pei Shaojiu said that they were going to catch 'ghosts', but when this kid heard it, he had to shout to come along.
"It's not idle and nothing to do, and if there is anything, you need manpower too, don't you?"
Du Jiu was reasonable, and Zhou Xinzhi didn't pay much attention to them.
Because the front door may be too noisy at night, a few people choose to enter from a small wall at the back, which is also what she accidentally saw during the day, not to mention, this place is really a hidden danger, wait for two days to find someone to repair it.
Stepping into the courtyard, it really makes people feel like they have entered a haunted house, it is pitch black, and you can't see anything.
But faintly, you can really hear what seems to be a human voice.
"Shh Zhou Xinzhi hid at the base of the wall, listening carefully to the movement in the yard, the small and fragmented sounds were like the sound of people walking, not like it, how did it feel light?
"Alas, I don't know when Aunt Xiu will be better, this house is about to be lived, and we won't be able to live for long."
Tang Xiaoyi sighed and said with a sigh holding the wild vegetables and steamed buns he found from outside.
Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips, feeling that this is still a little 'ghost'.
At this time, before Tang Xiaoyi arrived at the hut, she saw that it was dark in front of her, and several figures walked in front of her.
"Ahh
She screamed in fright, and Zhou Xinzhi hurriedly stepped forward to block her mouth.
"Stop yelling, we're not bad guys." She said helplessly to the little guy in her arms, and the strength in her hand loosened a little.
"You, who are you?" The little girl asked timidly, her big eyes shining brightly in the moonlight, and the tears under her eyes hung pitifully on her sockets.
"Little thing, we have to ask you, this big sister is the new owner of this house, why are you still here, and what kind of person is Aunt Xiu you said?"
Du Jiu stepped forward and shook his fan, looking at the little guy who had just arrived at Zhou Xinzhi's waist.
"No, it's none of Aunt Xiu's business, it's all my problem, if you want to fight or kill, come to me!"
She raised her little face, looking like she would rather die than give in, and the few people present chuckled, although this thing was a little weird, but this little guy was really interesting.
"Hey, don't believe it! It's really my problem, there's nothing about Aunt Xiu. ”
Tang Xiaoyi was afraid that these people would find trouble with Aunt Xiu, so she hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, we're not going to send you to the government, I just want to know what's going on with the hauntings that people say, so you can tell me where your Aunt Xiu is and what's going on."
Zhou Xinzhi patiently told her, the little guy was still very defensive, and his gaze was also tentative.
"You really don't report to the official? If you report to the official, Aunt Xiu and I will really be finished. ”
She said with a bitter face, I don't know if Zhou Xinzhi spoke softly and intimately, or if she really had no choice, and she no longer wanted to hide it at this moment.
It doesn't matter if the person in front of him is a good guy or a bad guy, as long as he can save Aunt Xiu.
"I'm talking, but what do you mean by your words, could it be that you and your aunt Xiu are wanted by the government?"
What does it mean to report to the official and it is over?
Hearing her say this, Tang Xiaoyi's little head shook vigorously.
"No, no, it's just that if we are caught by the government, we will be caught by those who are chasing us."
It's a cloud, but now is not the time to speak.
"You take me to your aunt Xiu first, I remember you said that she is in a bad condition, and if you don't go over to take a look, it will be troublesome if you want to be healed."
Maybe people have some secrets, really, why are the people around her all people with secrets.
The little guy thought about it, and still took her to a small room in the corner of the backyard, Zhou Xinzhi frowned and looked around, this kind of environment is really not suitable for people who are recuperating.
"You're hiding here? Isn't there a bedroom in the main courtyard? It's better to clean up there than here. ”
She asked, a little puzzled.
Tang Xiaoyi shook her head, "This place should be reserved for the next person to live, Aunt Xiu said, we are staying temporarily, we can't go to the main courtyard, otherwise the master of the family will come and know that someone has lived here, which is unlucky." ”
"You're still guilty of principles." Zhou Xinzhi smiled faintly, without the slightest discomfort of being occupied in advance.
