Chapter XII: Trial
If Jiang Cailing and Shen Muchi used to be concubines who were ruthless, and now they are ruthless concubines, they should be two people who shook hands and made peace with each other, but they wanted to get involved in such trivial matters, which hurt the harmony.
"Stop!" Just before Cai Ling's neck was twisted off, Shen Muchi strode over.
There was no time to manage the pain in her neck, so Cai Ling took two heavy breaths and pulled Manyun to leave. She has seen a lot of house fighting, knowing that in this case, the lord must be on the side of the favored concubine, and staying here is just a shame.
"Lord Wang......" As soon as Biluo's coquettish voice started, Shen Muchi comforted, "You don't have to say it. ”
The prince's fierce gaze swept over, and as soon as her long arm blocked, Cai Ling couldn't take half a step, and looked at each other for a long time before she reluctantly said, "If you have to find an explanation, can you change the day?" As soon as the words came out, Fang knew that his throat was hoarse. Biluo, a madman, really dares to let his subordinates kill people in broad daylight in the palace? She was a little scared.
"Send the four girls back." He frowned deeply and ordered his subordinates.
Cai Ling barely held up a polite smile and dragged Manyun's hand to leave. But the prince said, "You stay." "It's talking to Manyun.
"Why?" Although his voice was hoarse, he spoke loudly.
"Since this king has allowed Biluo to assist in the internal affairs of the palace, the maids in your courtyard are under her control, so why do you have to come forward." Wang Ye said.
Shen Muchi wanted to dissociate her from the affairs of this palace. That's right, she lived in the palace without a name and no share, and she should have been blessed to seek peace and smoothness, where would she dare to fight for others?
But Manyun is not an outsider? She was lonely and homeless in the palace, it was Manyun who added clothes and quilts for her, cooked food and daily life, and she also had such a caring little girl in the prime minister's mansion in the past. Now I understand that the world is changeable, and the most rare thing is to treat others with a sincere heart.
"This incident started because of me, no wonder others. If Your Highness wants to be punished, I will be punished. Manyun was injured and couldn't stay here. Cai Ling cleared her throat, but there was a fishy sweetness in her throat, and she swallowed it forcibly.
"You don't want to get an inch?" Impatience with warnings.
She smiled helplessly, when did he give an inch, why did he get in?
"I'll tell you the ins and outs of the matter right now." She struggled to speak, "I was the one who said I wanted to eat the meat bun in the morning." I am also the one who commanded the maids to be domineering. These are all bad things that have been cultivated in the past. Although Your Highness and I have known each other for a long time, I am afraid that I will not remember these little things for a long time. Before he spoke, he couldn't help coughing twice, but the blood in his throat couldn't help but flow slowly from the corners of his mouth. She hurriedly covered it with her hand. He was standing with his hands in his hands, but when he saw this, his hands fell suddenly, but they were not stretched out.
"The maids in your house are all good. His Royal Highness personally went to Ziwei Palace to pick me up and take me back to the house, I was a guest, and I was a guest, and the maid next to the princess who did not pass through the door injured me like this, and His Royal Highness thought about liquidating it well. Could this be the way of hospitality in the dignified Qin Palace? ”
"This king will pursue himself." King Qin's tone was much softer than before, "You retreat first." If Manyun does it properly, this king is not worried that Biluo will wronged her. When his gaze looked at Biluo, he had lost a lot of fierceness, very much like the affectionate veins between lovers.
"I'm not going anywhere." Cai Ling refused to compromise, "You want to be judged, and I will wait for the result here." ”
Before the words fell, several maids behind him knelt down one after another, pleading: "The slave maid and the others ignored Sister Manyun's admonition and argued with others first, and they all broke the medicine jar, please ask Your Highness and Miss Biluo to punish you." ”
Everyone was brought into the hall with a brush, leaving only Cailing standing alone in the courtyard, all because of Biluo's sentence "The internal affairs of the palace can't let others see the joke". It's pitiful to say, she boasts that she has been a confidant of Shen Muchi for many years, and the person she is marrying with half a foot in the palace is only an outsider in their eyes.
But she was not in a hurry, and stood quietly in the courtyard waiting for news. It's just that the heart still hurts, and there used to be times when it was necessary to protect the people around her, such as the fight between the personal maid and Cai Qian's house, Cai Qian was spicy, and she didn't relentlessly go to her father to complain that she was bullied by her sister, although she didn't like the maids to be troubled, but as long as she stood in front of the hall with the shelf of her concubine and listened to a few words of admonition, the matter should be resolved, and those girls were still unharmed. Now that I think about it, in the end, in the past, my status was noble, although my father preferred Cai Qian, he also took into account the difference between concubines and concubines, and Cai Qian's house was not enough to step on her head. But what about now? It's just that under the fence, you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others?
About half an hour later, the pear blossom wooden door was pushed open, and several girls came out of the house with the beaten and dying Manyun, Cai Ling hurriedly rushed up to suppress the surging anger, but she only said, "Send it back to the courtyard." ”
Glancing at the house, there were also a few girls around Biluo who were beaten, thinking that they were the ones who made trouble in the morning. However, Shen Muchi was personally trying the female guard who had just choked her throat, only to hear him say lightly, "Although it is your duty to protect the master, there is no shortage of you in the palace." Get out of the palace after receiving the penalty! ”
Cai Ling was not surprised or happy, but felt too tired and was about to turn around. I heard Bi Luo say again, "The prince is leaving?" His tone was softened, and he said, "There are still some things that have not been dealt with, and this king will come back another day." ”
Cai Ling hurriedly sped up her steps, but the maids really couldn't walk too fast with Manyun in their arms. King Qin just caught up with her at an ordinary pace, but it was as if she had deliberately slowed down and waited for him. When they came together, she seemed to be gagged and stopped talking.
King Qin didn't say much, but now he didn't make a sound, and the two walked side by side. The maids struggled in front, and the guards stopped and walked behind.
Walking to the fork in the road, Cai Ling knew that King Qin should go to the other side, and it was from where she had strayed into his residence earlier. But he still walked the same path as her. As soon as the word "......" came out, she noticed that her voice was very strange, and it was better not to speak in such an ugly voice, so she closed her mouth again.
"Does it hurt?" King Qin asked.
Does it hurt? He asked!
She thought that she would not be able to wait for a word of concern from him in this life. In the years when she was chasing him, she spent all her efforts not afraid of the ridicule of others, how many times did she want to give up, and he always looked unattainable? In all the things of Baique Pavilion, she did not hesitate to burn her reputation and money in order to win her husband, and he was tense and stern in Dongxi Building! With the holy decree, she was sent to the Qin Palace, imagining that from this move the case was full of eyebrows, respectful as guests, but the clinker in exchange for the family exile, sent people under the fence, everything is like this, he never asked a word "Shang An no". Now it's just a small injury on the body, but in exchange for him a sentence of "is it painful".
Does it hurt? It hurts, when that cold hand grabs the neck, like the pain of being pierced into the throat by thousands of needles. But it only hurt for a moment, and when the man was drunk, the pain disappeared. It's nothing compared to the heartache of the past.
She smiled slightly, as if to thank him for his care, and more like to express disdain for his lack of eyes over the years.
He was suddenly angry, and he was alienated for her. He held her arm, and she couldn't take a step. She simply didn't leave, looking into his eyes with her head held high, as if waiting for him to explain. His eyes were a beautiful dark brown, and his pupils were so deep that she couldn't see into his heart no matter how much she looked.
After a long time, Cai Ling spoke hoarsely, "I'm not still dead." It's just that Biluo is ...... Never mind. "I never thought that one day there would be a time when she wouldn't want to speak. Although she wanted to know Biluo's origins, she wanted to know what this woman was worthy of his use. But now none of this matters, the only thing she wants is to go out and never see all this again.
"There are some things that are better not to know." After he finished speaking lightly, he gently hooked the corners of his lips, as if to comfort him.
Of course, it's best not to know, if she doesn't know, she can be like when she was in the boudoir, her heart is thinking about the time of marriage, and there is hope every day.
"Wait for the king tonight." He said.
"Hmm." Cai Ling nodded and took two quick steps.
King Qin no longer chased after him, but only ordered his subordinates to find Jiang Taichang. Jiang Taichang was originally a royal doctor, and when King Qin was young, he was weak, and Jiang Taichang always took care of him around him.
Back in the courtyard, the maids were busy taking care of Manyun, although the girl was beaten a few sticks, her consciousness was still clear, and she didn't want to lie on the couch, so she only sat on the side with her head stubborn. Cai Ling stepped forward quickly, personally helped her down, knew that she had a wound on her buttocks, so she lay on the couch, and instructed others to fetch water to clean her wounds.
"No, I can't. Although these are skin injuries, they can festering if they are not well cared for. She said anxiously, "You have to go to Dongshi and find Zhuge Langzhong of Xinglin Hall, and say that it is the fourth prince of Dongxilou who invited him to visit the Qin Palace." ”
"The girl doesn't know." The maid said, "Jiang Taichangbao and the junior apprentices in the forest are just for the slaves to see a doctor, and the slaves and maids will invite them now." ”
"Jiang Taichang?" Cai Ling couldn't help but remember that when she got a serious illness in the fifteenth year, her mother went to ask her aunt, and the imperial hospital sent a Taichang to see her. Later, although she repeatedly wanted to say thank you to Jiang Taichang in person, she was too young to blend in with the imperial hospital at that time, and gradually forgot about it. Thinking that it was the apprentice of the imperial doctor Jiang Taichang, there should be no problem with his medical skills, so he said, "Then go and please." ”
After a while, the maid replied that Bao and Lin's little master said that Master Taichang had come in person. Cai Ling was anxious, "Could it be that you didn't make it clear?" We only need a Lang Zhong who can use gold to create medicine, why did he come here? ”
"The slave has made it clear." The maid was also very anxious.
"What about Jiang Tai ordinary people?" Cai Ling asked.
"I said I went out half an hour ago." The maid replied.
"Maybe it's a slower leg and foot. It doesn't matter, as long as you can get a prescription, you won't be afraid. Cai Ling said happily.
The clouds on the couch were drowsy, and suddenly seemed to whisper, "The four girls come back quickly, don't care about the slaves." ”
Cai Ling frowned slightly and gently touched the back of her head.
After another half an hour, accompanied by two apprentices, Jiang Taichang was late. One of the older ones arched his hand to Cai Ling and said, "The girl has been waiting for a long time. If you are delayed halfway through, and you are late, I hope the girl will forgive me. ”
As long as she comes, she can care about what they are delaying for, and she is about to get to the point after a few words of greeting. Another young man suddenly said, "It's a good thing, but the girl is too weak to have to ......."
The elder glared at him fiercely, and even the kind-eyed Jiang Taichang was a little impatient, and interrupted, "Girl, can you let the old student take the pulse." ”
Cai Ling smiled: "Jiang Taichang is afraid that he is mistaken." It's not me who needs to see a doctor, it's the clouds in my house, and it's not a terrible illness, but it just needs some golden medicine. Actually, I don't have to come in person, I'm really sorry. ”
"What about the scars on the girl's neck? What about the girl's voice? Jiang Taichang said, "If you don't treat the sequelae in time, don't regret it." ”
Cai Ling had to obediently let Jiang Taichang diagnose and treat, and at the same time asked his older apprentice to also diagnose and treat Manyun. While Jiang Tai often prescribed prescriptions, another apprentice was teaching the maids to apply the golden medicine in the room, Cai Ling grabbed the little apprentice and asked, "What the little master said just now, can you elaborate on it?" ”
The little apprentice knew that he was in trouble, but now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to quickly say in the absence of the master and brother: "That Biluo girl is happy." ”
Hello! I was happy. It's a good thing, but she can't laugh. It's not that she never thought that she would have today, but suddenly she was restless, her heart was flustered, and her sadness seemed to be suffocating.
"Girl?" The little apprentice looked at Cai Ling as if he was out of his body, and his face turned pale with fright. After a while, as if nothing had happened, she took the medicine and asked the maids to fry it, and then chatted with Jiang Taichang about the past, saying that she was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with Lord Taichang, otherwise she would not have the opportunity to say thank you to the life-saving benefactor in this life.
"The old student vaguely remembers that the pavilions and pavilions in the prime minister's mansion are scattered, and if he hadn't gone to see the girl, the old student would not have had the opportunity to walk into that chic Jiangnan-style garden." Jiang Taichang arched his hand.
"Your Excellency is gracious." Cai Ling smiled, "In this way, we should all thank the Holy One." ”
"Could it be that the girl always thought that the saint arranged for the old student to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Jiang Taichang stroked his white beard.
"Who else?" Cai Ling smiled, "My aunt doesn't dare to make decisions on her own." ”
Jiang Taichang took a sip of tea and said, "It's time for Lao Sheng to say goodbye." ”
Cai Ling hurriedly said: "Please also make it clear to your lordship." ”
"It's a long time coming, and the girl will know when the time comes." Jiang Taichang led the apprentice to stride away, "The old student will come back in three days." ”
"Master Xie." Although Cai Ling was annoyed that he was playing tricks, he was still grateful in his heart.
She wanted to stay until Shen Muchi arrived late at night and asked him about it, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see any trace of Shen Muchi.
In the middle of the night, someone came to report that Miss Biluo was not feeling well, and cried and begged the prince to stay by his side, and His Royal Highness really couldn't get out.
