Chapter 257: Life and Death Unknown

Zhu Ling stood in the Xirong courtyard early in the morning with the accounts, and it was still a little cold in the morning, so she couldn't help but stand it for half an hour. The girls who came and went pointed and pointed, but she just turned a blind eye.

The door of the inner room finally opened, and Zhilan came out and said, "Sister Zhu Ling has been waiting for a long time, our aunt has been delayed for some time to groom carefully, don't blame my sister." ”

Zhu Ling moved her stiff body, and said lightly: "Miss Zhilan is serious, the slave maid is just a subordinate, how dare you blame your aunt." ”

Zhilanpi smiled and said: "In the past, when the princess was there, my sister was the head of the house, but now my aunt is in charge, I don't dare to bother my sister, and my sister doesn't want to be angry in her heart." ”

Zhu Ling didn't raise her eyelids, but said, "Miss Zhilan is too worried." ”

Zhilan couldn't move her, so she had to grit her teeth secretly. Entering the inner room, Gu Yueyao was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, and when she saw Zhu Ling, she lifted the corner of her mouth and said: "Miss Zhu Ling came really early, this concubine hasn't gotten up yet, you came to the courtyard to wait, I don't know if I thought I was here to collect debts." ”

Zhu Ling said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Please forgive me, these are the rules set by the princess in the past, even if the princess is not in the mansion now, the slave and maid will not dare to exceed the rules." ”

The last thing Tong Ruoyao wants to hear at the moment is the word "princess", she just hopes that Bai Yanran has been killed and will never come back.

She sneered, slapped the table and glared at Zhu Ling and said sharply: "This concubine knows that you are the princess's henchman, but now that the princess is not here, it is inevitable that these girls under you will have crooked thoughts!"

In the past two days, this concubine has heard some rumors, saying that you have taken advantage of your position to enrich your own pockets and ignore a lot of money in the house, and you can confess your guilt,"

Zhu Ling said from the good: "The slave and maid are wronged, and please ask the side concubine to be clear." ”

Tong Ruoyao motioned for Zhilan to take the account from Zhu Ling's hand and present it, flipped through the two pages casually, and then snorted coldly: "Hmph, I think the rumors are true." The money in the house is spent every day, and there are so many trivial accounts, who know that you are not hiding people's eyes.

I heard that the housekeeper in the house used to be your father, but he was kicked out by the prince because of his unclean hands and feet. It is said that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and I think what is true is true. ”

Zhu Ling's face changed slightly, but she was not timid, and said to Tong Ruoyao's gaze: "The slave maid was promoted by the princess to take care of the trivial affairs in the house, and every expense on the account is traceable, and the side concubine can let people ask about the account."

As for the expenditure of money, the slaves and maids were paid from Mr. Pei in accordance with the regulations, and they could only get the silver after Mr. Pei's checking, and they never had a penny in the house. ”

Tong Ruoyao didn't really understand this, turned her head to look at Zhilan on the side, and when she saw Zhilan nodding, she was immediately annoyed and angry, and said unreasonably: "What, do you think this concubine is slandering you?" ”

Zhu Ling lowered her eyes and replied, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare?"

Tong Ruoyao only felt that Zhu Ling's appearance was really like Xiao and her master, and she really looked like Bai Yanran, and she felt more and more disgusted.

"I think you are used to the lawlessness of the princess, and you don't take this concubine in your eyes at all. If I don't teach you the rules today, how will the concubine serve the public in the future. Zhilan, give me a palm! ”

Zhu Ling knew that Aunt Tong was going to find a reason to make herself suffer today, although she was indignant in her heart, she also knew that she could only endure it now. Seeing Zhilan approaching, she closed her eyes indifferently, but she heard someone suddenly outside: "May I ask Miss Zhu Ling, but she is here?" ”

The voice was heard, and Tong Ruoyao motioned to Zhilan to go and have a look first. It was Xu Quan outside, and when he saw Zhilan coming out, he said: "I have a private matter looking for Miss Zhu Ling, and I heard that Miss Zhu Ling is here, so I came over, isn't it a bother?" ”

Zhilan knew that he was the prince's guard, so she didn't dare to offend, so she had to go back and talk to Tong Ruoyao.

Tong Ruoyao was originally a fuss about nothing, so she naturally didn't dare to make a big fuss, if she made trouble in front of the prince and alarmed the prince, wouldn't it be because of a small loss. had to glare at Zhu Ling fiercely and let her go.

Zhu Ling never thought that she could escape, and she couldn't come back to her senses when she went out to see Xu Quan. The two walked side by side for a while, and then they suddenly reacted and said, "Thank you for rescuing me today, otherwise I am afraid I would not have come out of Xirong Courtyard so unscathed." ”

Xu Quan turned his head uncomfortably and said, "Just now I met a girl with Su Xin on the road, she was afraid that you would be embarrassed by Aunt Tong, so she begged me to relieve the siege." ”

Zhu Ling's eyes darkened slightly, and she said politely: "I still want to thank you." ”

Xu Quan felt that something seemed wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to sneak a peek at Zhu Ling's expression and almost hit the tree.

As Xu Quan said, Su Xin was so anxious that he waited outside, and when he saw Zhu Ling, he looked up and down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Tong Ruoyao is in charge of the palace, Su Xin and Zhu Ling are Bai Yanran's henchmen, so they are naturally disgusted, and they are even more afraid that they will mention Bai Yanran in front of Ji Lingyun, so they sent the two to the flower room.

Although Xiaoba and Ah Ruan are still working in Linglong Xiaozhu, they have to report to Zhilan for everything, as if they have no real power, so they can only let Zhilan toss. At the moment, the four girls are not having a good time, but the relationship is becoming more and more intimate.

The two girls are still glad to have escaped, but Tong Ruoyao is not lightly angry. She specially called Zhu Ling today, not because she was idle and had nothing to do, but because she wanted to use Zhu Ling to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Now that Bai Yanran's life and death are unknown, and she has become a side concubine again, it was a good time to take the opportunity to take charge of the palace feed. However, from Mr. Pei in the account room to Aunt Hua, Hui Niang, and even Uncle Zheng in the flower room didn't buy her account.

To be honest, these people are the elders of the mansion, and if you want to take charge of the palace, you have to subdue these people, Tong Ruoyao is in a hurry to establish her authority.

asked Zhu Ling to escape today, Tong Ruoyao became more and more unhappy, and almost crushed the tea cup in her hand. After a while, she still felt breathless, dropped the teacup and scolded: "One by one, they are all things that don't know what to do, and they are all waiting for Bai Yanran to come back." ”

Saying that, she remembered something and asked, "Is the woman that the prince brought back safe?" ”

Zhilan replied, "She wanted to be restless, but the prince didn't pay attention to her at all. But the slave and maid inquired about the past......"

There is intrigue in the palace, and the days are like flowing water, but Bai Yan is like a year.

The eldest brother is a ruthless character who does not enter the oil and salt, and he is by Bai Yanran's side almost all the time. The third child couldn't sit still, and often went out to buy and inquire about news, and Bai Yanran didn't have a chance to contact him alone.

It was another cycle of the sun and the moon, during which people passed by. But the house has not been inhabited for a long time, and the two people are careful not to disclose their whereabouts, and others do not think of coming in to check.

In the afternoon of the third day, it was gloomy outside, and Bai Yanran was closing her eyes to recuperate. She calculated that Ji Lingyun should have returned to the palace at this time, and she didn't know how anxious she would be when she learned that she had been kidnapped.

She told herself that if she waited, waited, he would come and save her......

Vaguely she heard something, and then the eldest brother on the side suddenly got up. Soon the footsteps of the third child were heard outside, holding something in his hand.

The two exchanged a look, and the eldest brother took the things in the third child's hand and walked out. The third child entered the room and glanced at Bai Yanran, as if he had a deep meaning, and then stood aside.

Bai Yanran had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she suddenly spoke: "It was Liao Guangtian who replied to you, right?" ”

The third child was stunned for a moment, then stared at Bai Yanran and said, "It turns out that you woke up that day and have been pretending to be asleep, but you are a smart person." ”

Bai Yanran smiled bitterly: "If I were really a smart person, I wouldn't be in such a situation as I am now." ”

The third child didn't say anything, but Bai Yanran said: "I'm not a smart person, and you may not be smarter than me." ”

The third child was not annoyed, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Bai Yanran said unhurriedly: "I can see that the two eldest brothers should be people from the rivers and lakes, and doing things for Liao Guangtian is nothing more than money." But now that the wind is so tight, you can't take me back to the business.

Instead of killing me like this, it is better to exchange me for a large sum of money, which is enough for the two eldest brothers to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. After that, the mountains and rivers are far away, so why do you have to do such a knife and lick blood business again. ”

The third child looked at her for a long time, and replied: "You are a brave person, you didn't cry and shout for mercy, and you can still think of these things." ”

Bai Yanran said: "If you just ask for mercy, it can be useful, and the two eldest brothers don't have to go through such a lot of trouble." ”

The third child laughed, and suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "You woman is really cunning, no wonder the eldest brother told me not to believe your words." ”

Bai Yanran held her composure, looked at the man with a fierce face and said, "You know in your heart whether what I said makes sense or not, and it depends on you how to choose." In fact, you and I just met in the water, and there is no deep hatred, and killing me will not do you any good, will it? ”

The eldest brother's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and he looked at Bai Yanran coldly and said, "You don't need any benefits, just follow orders." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door in, and as a thunderbolt flashed outside, Bai Yanran clearly saw that the boss was holding a small porcelain vase in his hand. She subconsciously shrank back, but where could she hide?

The third child went up and grabbed her, and without saying a word, he forcibly opened Bai Yanran's mouth, obviously knowing the boss's plan. The boss stopped talking nonsense, opened the cork and stepped forward, regardless of the struggle, poured the medicine inside into Bai Yanran's mouth.

Bai Yanran struggled to no avail, only to feel that something went down her throat into her abdomen, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she unwillingly closed her eyes and fell into the boundless darkness.

Is she going to die here, can't she wait for him after all?

There was another thunderclap, followed by the sound of rain. Ji Lingyun woke up suddenly, as if he hadn't recovered from his dream, and his face was still full of panic and anxiety.

He had a nightmare that the woman was weeping and crying, and the crying was heartbreaking, which made him worry about it.

However, he was about to step forward to comfort him, but the woman's figure suddenly disappeared, and he tried his best not to catch a trace of the woman's afterimage.

Now that I wake up from my dream, the panic in that dream has never gone away. He got up irritably, and immediately a girl came in to wait diligently, and said: "The prince is seriously ill and has not recovered, and the side concubine has ordered to wait for a good life, what does the prince command?" ”

Ji Lingyun waved his hand and motioned for her to go down, and he put on a coat and wanted to go out for a walk. Gu Fang was guarding the door, and when he saw him, he came out and said: "The master's injury has not healed, and the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince have repeatedly explained, you can't go anywhere." ”

Having said that, he had no intention of hindering him. Ji Lingyun didn't care much and said: "I've been in the house all day long, let's go around the garden together." ”
