When the guards went in to get people, Chunyi had already rested, wearing only a middle coat, carefully taking care of the idle dulcimer. She has been in the house for two years, but except for the day she was sent, this skill is no longer useful.

The prince did not take people into the room. But she was sent to be a girl, and the people in the house naturally understood the meaning. Although he was concerned about her origin, he didn't bother to associate with her.

Even Zhu Yong only sent people to the most idle flower room, turning a blind eye to her laziness all day long, just hoping that such a hot potato could keep to himself.

Even if the poor family can't open the pot and sell themselves into slavery, they are always white, so they naturally have to look down on such a fireworks woman. In addition, Chunyi is also arrogant, and it is even more difficult to get along with.

So much so that the people were taken away by the guards, and all the people who had already rested heard the sound and came out to see the excitement, but none of them worried about her.

Chunyi didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly, but she didn't panic much, and quickly made up her mind, and her death and non-confession were also expected by Bai Yanran.

Xiaoba's words don't prove that Chunyi entered the bedroom that day, and I don't know what the makeup powder is now. The human and material evidence is incomplete, and it is true that she cannot be convicted.

Chunyi made a good calculation, but forgot to calculate one point, that is, his identity.

"The princess is obviously jealous when she sees the beauty of the slave maid, for fear that the slave and maid will steal the limelight in front of the prince, so she will spew blood and fabricate right and wrong, and the slave and maid will not accept it!"

Ji Lingyun was sitting and drinking tea, and he didn't look at the spring Yi with rain from the pear blossoms crying on the ground. Su Xin's teeth trembled in anger on the side, and that little appearance really wanted to pounce and bite someone.

Bai Yanran stood still, lifted her eyelids and glanced at Chun Yi, who was playing, and said with a smile: "You are a subordinate, what if you are not convinced?" I said you are guilty, and you are a sinner. Don't say that I didn't wronged you, even if you want to add sin, what can you do? ”

Chunyi was dumbfounded, looked at Bai Yanran in disbelief, turned his head to look at Ji Lingyun with a calm face, and his face turned pale.

She finally understood that she had underestimated Bai Yanran, gritted her teeth and threw herself at Ji Lingyun's feet, crying: "Lord Wang, the slave and maid are wronged, please ask the prince to be the master of the slave and maid for the sake of Lord Liang." ”

Ji Lingyun said unhurriedly: "Isn't your master Concubine Lan?" Lord Liang doesn't know where you really came from. ”

Chunyi looked up in amazement, his face was already bloodless, and he saw Ji Lingyun looking at himself coldly and said, "I knew your identity early on, I was not ready to move you now, but you did something you shouldn't do." At the moment, you have two choices, one is to tell you everything you know, and the other is that I will send you to the extreme prison and let the Rakshasa officer inside come and ask you. ”

The prison is affiliated to the Dali Temple and is a prison specially used for interrogating prisoners. Because the people who were sent to the extreme prison were all hard bones that could not be pried open in the Dali Temple and the yamen prisons of various departments, the methods of extorting confessions by torture were full of tricks and frightening.

Chunyi's body trembled uncontrollably when he heard this, and he barely hesitated for a moment, so he said in a hurry: "I said, I said." The medicine in the makeup powder was indeed given by me, and it was my hands and feet that I sneaked in while no one was paying attention on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Ji Lingyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he asked, "What kind of medicine?" ”

Chunyi replied honestly: "It's a cold thing that makes women infertile, I originally thought that as long as the princess is not pregnant, the prince will be in a hurry to take a concubine, then I will have a chance." ”

Ji Lingyun stared at Chunyi fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Where did this medicine come from?" ”

Chunyi shook his head and replied in despair: "I don't know, someone gave it to me." Since I came to the palace but I was not reused, the concubine has stopped contacting me, and I think I have become an outcast.

But three months ago, I suddenly received news that the concubine asked me to mix up with the princess, so I took the silver to bribe Steward Zhu, and became the big girl next to the princess as I wished.

After that, I would go to the nearby rockery cave on the fifteenth day of every month, and she would put any news there. Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I got the packet of medicinal powder, so I sneaked in and mixed it into the makeup powder while no one was in the house. ”

Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran glanced at each other, and they both thought of one thing, three months ago was not long after the decree was given, and it seemed that Lan Guifei had started to fight Bai Yanran's idea since then.

Chunyi couldn't stop kowtowing, his forehead quickly broke the skin, and the red blood was left out, making his face more and more pale.

"The slave maid was originally the Le Ji of Lord Liang's house, and not long before she was dedicated to the prince, the concubine Niangniang suddenly asked people to find the slave maid, saying that she helped the slave and maid settle the family, and let the slave maid do things for the concubine Niangniang wholeheartedly.

The lives of the slave maid's family are in the hands of the concubine, and the slave and maid dare not disobey. The slave maid has not done anything in the two years since he entered the house, and he doesn't know anything else, so please spare the slave and maid a cheap life. ”

Bai Yanran turned her head to look at Ji Lingyun, and saw that his expression was cold, unmoved, and instructed the two guards behind her: "Take people down and take care of them, don't leak the news." ”

Ji Lingyun had long known that there would be no news in Chunyi's mouth, she was just an abandoned child who could be thrown away at any time, and the real tricky thing was the person hiding behind Chunyi.

It is inconvenient to leak the news of this matter, Chunyi is guarded in a remote courtyard of the palace, and Su Ri will not even go to the girl who sweeps the sa, nor will it attract attention.

This night, Ji Lingyun hugged Bai Yanran tightly and fell asleep, and Bai Yanran also unconsciously hid in Ji Lingyun's arms, so that she could sleep with peace of mind.

The next day, he only said to the public that Chunyi's hands and feet were not clean, and he was driven out of the palace with stolen goods. But everyone was talking about it in private, saying that Chunyi was expelled from the palace by the princess because he climbed into the prince's bed, and even Zhu Yong thought so, and he was even more afraid of Bai Yanran. Keyuan

This kind of thing is not uncommon among high-ranking families, but in the morning, after lunch, the heated discussion subsided a lot, and everyone turned to talk about Liu Xing'er's in-laws.

Ji Lingyun had already planned, and he was naturally resolute in getting things done. Hao Rengui, the youngest son of the shopkeeper of Liuxiangju, is six years older than Liu Xing'er, and he is white and shy, and it is said that he is still a scholar.

Hao's shopkeeper has finally produced a scholar in several generations, and the family has high hopes that he can take the test to make a name for himself and glorify his ancestors. However, Hao Rengui repeatedly failed to make the list, and even his family affairs were delayed, so he finally decided to start a family first and then start a business.

Liuxiangju Teahouse is quite famous in the capital, and the silver flows like water every day, and the family is quite rich. Hao Rengui is the most important for Hao's shopkeeper, and the girl who wants to marry can row from Mochiyuelou to Liuxiangju.

If it weren't for Liu Xing'er being a big girl who had been with King An for many years, His Royal Highness King An would value it, and it would be said that she would pay a large amount of dowry in the future, otherwise Liu Xing'er would really not be able to get into the eyes of the shopkeeper Hao.

Ji Lingyun used to go to Liuxiangju to sit and sit, Liu Xing'er accompanied her, and she had met Hao Rengui a few times. As soon as the shopkeeper Hao said this, Hao Rengui thought about Liu Xing'er Liu Ruofufeng's temperament, so he agreed with a red face.

Liu Xing'er was already in the dust, and she simply broke the jar and broke it, and it was all up to Ji Lingyun to decide.

The girls and mothers-in-law in the house talked a lot, and they were all envious.

With the Hao family's background, Liu Xinger married a young grandmother. In the eyes of these subordinates who sell their lives as slaves to fill their families, isn't this a sparrow turning into a phoenix?

In the autumn afternoon, the sun was still warm, and Bai Yanran only wandered around the house with Su Xin.

At this time, people have just had lunch to rest, and it is the time when people chew the root of their tongues a lot. The master and servant quietly walked through the corridor, standing behind the rockery and listening to the gossip of the girls in front of them.

"Don't say it, Hui Niang is here."

I don't know which sharp-eyed whispered a reminder, and the "buzzing" sound gradually subsided. Then a woman with a peaceful face came over, her eyes swept around, her voice was unhurried, gentle and kind, but she had a majestic temperament.

"It's easy to get into trouble with your tongue, so don't end up in a bad situation.

Recently, there have been a lot of things in the palace, and they all do their own work, if there are cheaters, violators, or those who are not pure-minded, the palace will not be able to tolerate it. ”

Hui Niang's words are not only talking about Chunyi, but also alluding to Liu Xing'er. It makes people's hearts tighten, but they can't find anything wrong, and they are also thoughtful.

Bai Yanran walked out from behind the rockery, and everyone was busy waiting for her. Hui Niang was calm and unhurried, and saluted: "The slave has seen the princess." ”

Bai Yanran nodded and looked at Hui Niang carefully. Hui Niang has not yet reached the age of not being confused, her hair is meticulously combed, she is dressed plainly, and she looks like a mother-in-law who works in the house.

But the calm and calm temperament on the body is difficult to ignore, and the appearance is also good, presumably she was also a beautiful woman when she was young. It's just that the years are urging people to grow old, and Hui Niang's temples already have a trace of white hair, adding a bit of vicissitudes.

"I don't know if the wise steward has the leisure to go for a walk with the princess?"

Hui Niang's face was soft, her eyes were calm, even if she was suddenly invited at this moment, she was only stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "The princess is tormenting the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are naturally obedient, the princess will invite first." ”

The rest of the girls didn't dare to come out, so they only peeked at Hui Niang's steward and followed behind the princess.

King An's Mansion was once the residence of a princess in the previous dynasty, and there are not many courtyards in the house, but rockeries and flowing waters, pavilions and pavilions abound. Presumably, the princess has spent a lot of thought on this, and she is magnificent.

Later, Ji Lingyun went out of the palace to build a mansion, and Emperor Yuanhe rewarded this mansion, and the queen renovated it again. A little less flashy, a little more noble and elegant.

The three of them walked through the corridor to the Liuxin Pavilion, and it happened that a silver carp jumped out of the water, Bai Yanran couldn't help but stop to watch, and Hui Niang waited respectfully aside.

Bai Yanran was interested, and sent Su Xin to get some fish food. I had nothing to do, as if I asked casually: "How many years has Steward Hui been in the palace?" ”

Hui Niang replied: "Back to the princess, the slave maid came to the palace in February four years ago, fortunately the prince was promoted and became the steward of the palace, and now the life of the family is better." ”

Bai Yanran nodded and said, "As soon as I came, I became a steward, and it seems that I am indeed very important to the prince." So the wise steward reciprocated the favor and sent Xiaoba to me to remind the Tong family about the matter? ”

Hui Niang's body paused, and finally looked up at Bai Yanran, with a little more appreciation in her eyes.

"The princess is really smart, and the slaves and maids are obedient."

Bai Yanran accepted it indifferently, and asked again: "Since you already knew that Zhu Yong was selfish, why don't you report it directly to the prince, but wait until now to mention me?" ”
