Chapter 186: Cleaning the Backyard 2
"Princess, this slave doesn't know very well. Sometimes it's a eunuch, and sometimes it's a person from the Yun Mansion. The slave maid is only responsible for guarding the door to the side concubine, and the slave and maid don't know what to say. The fact that they went to the shop to kidnap the little girl was still told by the side concubine and the slave. ”
"Was it a eunuch or a normal person who came that time?" Poison Venerable interjected and asked.
"It's a eunuch, and someone from the Yun Mansion also came that afternoon. Who said that the slave and the maid are not sure. ”
"Concubine Yun was rewarded by the Queen Mother, whether it was a eunuch or someone from the Yun Mansion. It was the old woman's orders that were carried out. Princess, is there anything else you want to ask? The King of Joy said angrily.
"Not for the time being."
"Don't kill the slave and maid, the princess. The slave and maid told the truth, and did not hide anything. The maid trembled with fear, and she knew that she was not far from death.
"Spare your life first, and go to the palace to identify the eunuch who often comes. Tell her to sleep well, and when she falls asleep, you will have nothing to worry about. Poplar looked at Poison Venerable and said.
"Yang'er, everything has been figured out. What do we do now? The King asked, seeing Poplar.
"Cold salad, everyone rest, tomorrow the princess will meet those women in your backyard." Poplar chuckled a little tiredly.
"Shanhua, take the princess Niangniang and Senior Ling to rest, and live in the same courtyard with Xiaorou Xiaoqiang."
"Husband Wang, you should also rest early. I heard that you never enter the second door, and tomorrow you will make an exception. ”
"Yes, King of Escape. Without your introduction, my sister would not have been able to speak for herself. You're going to have to behave well tomorrow. Poison Venerable quipped after Poplar's words.
There wasn't much time left before dawn, and when Poplar and Poison Venerable passed, Xiao Rou and Xiao Qiang were already asleep. Shan Xing Shan Zao and the two water mothers-in-law did not sleep guarding the two children.
"Princess Niangniang, Miss Ling, we didn't take good care of the second young lady, and we asked the princess to punish her." As soon as the two water mothers-in-law saw Poplar, they hurriedly knelt down and blamed themselves.
"Mother-in-law, please get up, Xiaorou is a very emotional child, the other party said that I was in danger, and she followed the others. If the other party kidnapped Xiaorou from her mother-in-law, Poplar will blame you. It's not too early, so rest early. Tomorrow, the princess wants you to stand and cheer. ”
"Thank you, princess, for being tolerant and generous, no matter what the situation is, it is the old slave's dereliction of duty. In the future, the old slave will protect the second lady every step of the way. ”
"I'll talk about this later, go to sleep. Shan Xing Shan Jujube, you two also go to rest. ”
"Yes, Princess, we live outside."
The two children in the house were sleeping soundly. Yesterday, the situation of the two children was similar, and Xiao Rou heard that her sister was plotted when she challenged the competition. hurriedly got out of the sight of the two water mothers-in-law, and was knocked unconscious by the two maids. When I woke up, I was already in a dark room. Someone brought her food twice, and it was so dark that she couldn't see it clearly. Cautious Xiaorou didn't dare to eat it at all. She kept turning the string of beads in her hand, and then fiddled with the sachet. I hope my sister and Aunt Ling can find out that they have been kidnapped.
But she was disappointed again and again. A blow to the head, plus hunger and fear. She was asleep more than she was awake.
Xiaoqiang learned that the second sister was missing, so he kept sensing the bead on his chest. He didn't dare to touch it with his hands, for fear that if it was hot, he wouldn't be able to tell if it was induced by the beads on his second sister's hand. Xiaoqiang barely ate, and dragged the guards around the palace at night.
The beads on her chest are hot and hot, and it is difficult to determine where the second sister is. But Xiaoqiang has always believed that the second sister is still in the big courtyard of the palace.
Now that my sister is back, I have also rescued my second sister. The two children felt sleepy and tired, and fell asleep without saying a few words in bed. What the prince arranged for them was a big room, with kang on both sides and not a bed. The two sisters and brothers slept on one side, and Poplar and Poison Zun walked into the house, and they didn't know it.
"Neither of these children slept last night. Sister Ling, you accompany Xiaorou and I accompany Xiaoqiang, let's sleep too. Tomorrow's business will be discussed tomorrow. ”
"Sister Baiyang, you still sleep with Xiaorou. That child is closer to you than to me. ”
"Sister, you're jealous. Then recognize her, you are the head of a faction, and now you have recovered your appearance. What else are you worried about? ”
"Sister, sister won't eat your jealousy. It's better for her to follow you than to follow me, and now is not the time to recognize her. Once her identity is revealed, there will be more people who will beat her mind. Let's just call her such a carefree life. ”
"It's okay, my sister can recognize her whenever she wants."
It's dawn. Poplar was dressed up under the service of the maids. Although it is not the princess's formal attire, it is also graceful and luxurious. King Xiaoyao is dressed in court clothes, no matter how you look at it, he is handsome and chic. Although the costume has changed, he is in the broken temple with Poplar, and he looks the same at first glance. Poplar was not Yan Kong in his previous life, and he is not judging people by his appearance in this life. But while looking at the pleasing eyes of the King of Ease, he was still impressed by the noble temperament and integrity and courage he exuded.
"Yang'er, why do you look at this king like this? If you don't like the king wearing court clothes, the king can change into a general's uniform. You can also dress up as a noble son. ”
"Husband and wife, the concubine doesn't know that you are still so poor. Let's go and see your garden full of flowers. ”
"Yang'er, those flowers are disdainful of this king, and they never belong to this king. How to send them Yang Er has the final say. ”
"Really? They were poisoned or dragged out and beheaded. ”
"This king has no opinion."
"Think about it beautifully, wouldn't that be cheaper for them, and the princess will ask them to guard this big courtyard. Otherwise, it's not fun. ”
"Actually, they should all come to see you, not you." The King of Joy looked at Poplar and felt that he couldn't get enough of it, just as he saw her for the first time in the ruined temple. Although she is dressed as a beggar girl, the sassy and heroic posture she has brought has been deeply engraved on the heart of the King of Freedom.
"Husband and Majesty, one day they will come to me every day to say goodbye, if they still have a chance to stay here. But not now, let me see how your princess sent them? ”
Although he had only slept for an hour last night, Poplar had come back to life with full blood. Surrounded by the two water mothers-in-law and the three maids of Chunhua, Poplar walked to the place where the women of the Xiaoyao Mansion lived.
It's not the first time she has come to the Xiaoyao Palace, the last time she came in a hurry, she left in a hurry. Last night, all my energy was spent looking for Xiaorou. I only think that the White Xiaoyao Mansion is so big, and now the Xiaoyao Mansion in the morning sun bathing is magnificent and magnificent. A winding bluestone pavement connects the courtyards. Even the second courtyard, where the women lived, also had a red gate. Two powerful and strong mothers-in-law guarded the gate.
"Princess Niangniang, this is the female guard of the palace. They are all guards who belong to the periphery. A few of our mothers-in-law are the prince's henchmen and guards. There are also hidden guards, and the identity is very complicated. Shanhua introduced Poplar as she walked.
"Is there a hidden guard of the prince in the second courtyard?" Poplar asked, but he didn't expect Shanhua to answer.
"Princess Niangniang, this slave doesn't know. When the prince is not in the house, the chief housekeeper has the final say, and the women in the backyard are the two side concubines in charge. Although the people who live here are all the women of the prince, they are also concentrated here. The longest has been ten years, and only during the New Year's banquet can I see the prince from afar. Behind their backs, they all call this the cold palace of the Xiaoyao Palace, and they want to go out casually. One is to get the permission of the two side concubines, and the other is to ask the old housekeeper to agree. ”
"So, this backyard is relatively peaceful. At least there is no competition for favor, and there is no struggle without hope. It's really the sorrow of these women. Poplar sighed.
"Concubine Niangniang, why didn't you let us out? This concubine has been here for two years and hasn't even seen the face of the prince. It's colder than a cold palace. Suddenly, a woman's scream came from inside the door.
"Sister, I can only say that you are unlucky. Last year, the prince didn't celebrate the New Year in the house, and this year is not yet the time for the New Year. We can only find the name in the royal roster. Don't think about anything else. Another woman persuaded in a calm tone.
"You have been willing to spend the best time in the palace, and I want to see the prince. Side concubine Niangniang, aren't you two more able to show off than the other how you are favored by the prince? Just give us hard-working women a word and let us leave the Joyful Palace. ”
"What's the noise? The side concubine is still sleeping, and she has a good life, but do you want to rebel? A mother-in-law roared fiercely.
"Who's standing guard outside today? Go and call the housekeeper of the palace to come over, the fifth lady of the Sakura Mansion wants to go back today. It was a maid's voice shouting out the door.
"Princess Niangniang, when we were on a tour last night, Sakura Five came to the palace to report the news. I wanted to come and leave as much as I wanted to do before, but in the past two days, the palace has only entered and exited. She couldn't go back last night. Shan Xing said.
"Oh! It turned out to be Miss Parrot, the gunslinger. Granny Shui, call the door! ”
