Chapter 10: Uncle Qing at Night
"Reckoning?! What do you have to settle with me? Little slut, don't think that if you say a few words that threaten Miss Ben, I will be afraid of you! ”
Zhao Yan's legs and stomach were weak, and he saw that he was about to lose his footing. Fortunately, the maid next to her was more knowledgeable, and she had already supported her at this time.
"Sister, don't be so excited, I'm excited before I start liquidating you, then I'll calculate it one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Xiao Meng was no longer facing Zhao Yan, but turned around and helped Xiang'er, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
Zhao Yan couldn't see Xiao Meng's face anymore, but he still had the feeling that he was being targeted by the beasts in the forest.
"Miss Ben is waiting for you, as you say, no matter what you say, you have to tell the evidence. Miss Ben hasn't done anything that can't hurt you, and I'm not afraid of you. ”
Zhao Yan flicked his sleeves, but his coquettish voice was clearly flustered: "Let's go back to Zhucui Courtyard." ”
Those subordinates of Zhucui Courtyard were instructed to leave the small garden with Zhao Yan's side.
In the courtyard, Xiang'er hung her head, and Gu Ying did not feel sorry for herself after being humiliated, but said: "Master, the slave and maid have caused you trouble today." ”
"You and I, master and servant, should be of the same mind, so there is no need to cause trouble. How's it going for you to check? ”
For the loyal servants who really follow him, Xiao Meng naturally will not blame. She took the ointment she had brought with her and told her to take care of her wounds when she returned.
"Master, the slave asked many people in Fenghua Courtyard today, and found that the chief steward of Zhucui Courtyard and Honglian once had an affair. Do you think this can be used as a breakthrough for us to find evidence? "Xiang'er will be caught by the people of Zhucui Courtyard today, in addition to Zhao Yan wanting to be angry, but also because she heard something she shouldn't have heard.
"Naturally, you can go back to Fenghua Courtyard first, deal with the wound on your face first, and then tell Mama Zhou about it, let her summon it to the second brother, and let the second brother check the details of this big steward for me."
Xiao Meng doesn't like to shoot without preparation, Zhao Yan's father is a more prestigious person among civil officials, if she makes a rash move but can't bite the other party to death completely, then she has a chance to escape.
"No." Xiang'er bowed and retreated.
Xiao Meng went to the kitchen. She was supposed to have lunch at this time, but she didn't feel hungry at all, and she wanted to make a sincere dinner for the regent more than to eat herself.
The regent is now her heaven, and only by pleasing the heavens can she have a good life.
Therefore, she had been busy in the kitchen until dark before she went to Ling Tianyuan in a delicate food box.
In the Ling Tian Courtyard, King Qing dismissed all the slaves.
Because of the existence of ice wheels, the courtyard of Nuoda still makes people feel that the climate is suitable on hot summer nights.
Xiao Meng carried the food box and stood at the gate of Ling Tianyuan but lingered for a while.
Normally, there should have been a lot of guards patrolling the gate of the courtyard, but now there is no one.
The big red lantern at the entrance of the courtyard reflects the majestic two stone lions on both sides of the door, and the eyes of the stone lions are inlaid with emeralds, so they look particularly majestic and strange.
Xiao Meng lingered at the gate of the courtyard and hesitated for a while, then finally bent his eyebrows, and then pushed open the gate of the courtyard.
"Uncle Qing, Meng'er just finished the meal, you didn't wait to be hungry, right?"
The moment the courtyard door retreated, she saw Lord Qing.
Under the interplay of light and shadow in the night, the man looked a little softer than in the daytime, but such a soft person miraculously made people feel that he was born to be suitable for the dark.
"The dream is here, let the king go into the house with him. In the afternoon, the fiefdom has just offered this year's tribute Qionghua wine, and you happen to have two glasses with your uncle in a while. ”
As they spoke, they had already walked into the room together.
As the most powerful regent of the dynasty, everything in his house is the best, and any ornament is a rarity. But Xiao Meng was not interested in any of these at all.
She forced a smile and carefully laid out the carefully prepared meal, but her eyes glanced at the white-feathered parrots in the room from time to time.
The vast majority of people in the world use carrier pigeons to deliver messages, but the people of the Thousand Evil Pavilion rely on parrots to deliver messages. All the news of the Thousand Evil Pavilion can be traded, as long as the price can make the other party excited, and even the royal secrets can be bought.
And last night, Xiao Meng contacted the people of Qianji Pavilion through some special means and wanted to buy some news related to the sixth prince from the other party, but she didn't receive a reply all day long, originally thought that the other party was unwilling to trade with her, but now it seems that it is not that the other party does not trade, but that it was intercepted by the Qing Wangye.
The regent Huang Fuqing is a very controlling person, although he looks like a gentle and easy-to-talk person, but in his bones he really has an almost perverted desire to control people and things that he wants to control.
He never seemed to allow anyone or anything he had his eye on to be out of his control.
Xiao Meng's hand in placing the dishes was a little shaky, she didn't know what the regent would do to her.
