Yuan Qingling walked over and sat down, leaned back, and looked at her in a more comfortable position, "I want to know the truth, I want to know the relationship between you and Man'er." ”

"The crown princess is too careful." Aunt Qing also looked at her, her smile did not fade, but the chill in her eyes deepened, "The slave didn't know her before, but everyone went to eat today, but she didn't, so she prepared one for her, that's all." ”

Yuan Qingling asked: "Okay, today when you are very kind, you can't see a maid being bullied and hungry, then you were reluctant to leave the palace, why did you change your mind after hearing that the daughter of the king of Nanjiang was in Beijing?" I believe that leaving the palace is a very dangerous thing for you, and there is even a danger of killing, but you ignore it and ask for it in front of the imperial concubine, do you simply want to repay Luo Guifei? But I have understood, in fact, there is not a deep master-servant relationship between you and Luo Guifei, otherwise when she had an accident, you would have been convicted, and it is precisely because you are not a confidant that you were able to survive. ”

Aunt Qing sneered, "The princess's imagination is too good, what is the daughter of the king of Southern Xinjiang?" The slave maid had never heard of it before, and even less cared about. ”

"You are also from Southern Xinjiang, don't you care about the king of Southern Xinjiang?" Yuan Qingling looked at her and asked.

Aunt Qing raised her head coldly, "Although the slave maid is from southern Xinjiang, presumably the crown princess knows that southern Xinjiang is divided into northern and southern factions, and the slave and maid are from northern Xinjiang, so how can she care about the king of southern Xinjiang?" Therefore, the crown princess, you think too much, although the slave doesn't know what you want, but these things are really not interesting to a southern Xinjiang slave who only cares about the job in front of him. ”

Yuan Qing Ling was stunned, "Are you from northern Xinjiang?" She originally thought that Aunt Qing might be someone from the palace of the king of southern Xinjiang or the concubine of the king of southern Xinjiang, but if it was from the north of Xinjiang, this would not be true.

"Slaves and maids can swear to the sky, they are from northern Xinjiang, if there is half a lie, the sky will hit five thunders, and they will not die well." Aunt Qing said.

Yuan Qingling looked at her, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, she didn't seem to be lying, she had lied to cover it up in front, which could be seen from her subtle expression and body language.

But now she is very calm about this oath.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yuan Qingling's mind, a rather ridiculous thought.

However, this idea was immediately rejected by her, because it was unlikely, or almost impossible.

Could it be that the direction I was thinking about was wrong?

Aunt Qing stepped forward to bless her body, and the cold aura in her eyes had faded, replaced by the humble and respectful nature of being a slave, "The slave maid does have a purpose to go out of the palace, but it is not for the daughter of the king of southern Xinjiang, these things have nothing to do with the slave maid, of course, as the princess said, it is not for the sake of serving His Royal Highness Nine wholeheartedly, as for the slave maid who saw that the slave maid felt unbearable when she was hungry, it was because she learned that she was from southern Xinjiang, however, the slave maid did not know whether she was from southern Xinjiang or northern Xinjiang, just out of the pity of her fellow villagers, therefore, I don't know what the purpose of your temptation is, the princess, the master's thoughts, and the slave and maid don't dare to ask. ”

Yuan Qingling looked at her, whether she had entered the palace before, or now, she had called Rong Yue and them to accompany her, but she didn't want Aunt Qing to see which mansion Man'er was serving in, but seeing her attitude towards Man'er today, a large part of her heart affirmed that she had something to do with Man'er, so she didn't hesitate to expose it. But if she has nothing to do with Man'er, and she is from northern Xinjiang, then this move is a trick, but it exposes Man'er's identity.

"Then I don't know what is the purpose of your exit from the palace and entering the palace?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Aunt Qing said: "This is the slave's private matter, can the slave not say it?" ”

She paused, and then said with a slight mockery: "Of course, the master asks the slave and maid, and the slave and maid can't hide anything from the master, if the princess insists on knowing, the slave and maid can also say it." ”

Yuan Qingling felt that this Aunt Qing was good at grasping people's minds, and after saying this, if she asked her for the purpose of asking her, it would inevitably be to oppress people.

Yuan Qingling didn't ask, because this so-called purpose was not necessarily true.

She looked at Aunt Qing, judging from her appearance, she really didn't have any similarities with Man'er, but after this conversation, looking at her eyes, Yuan Qingling felt that there was still a familiar feeling, some similarities, in fact, not in the flesh but in the temperament, in the bones.

That thought came to mind again.

Yuan Qingling stroked her stomach, rubbing her fingertips with embroidery, she said it all today, she didn't care about guessing these two sentences, she looked at Aunt Qing and said, "Your name is Mu Qingqing, and you are the witch who disappeared in northern Xinjiang." ”

Aunt Qing grasped the wide sleeves with her fingers, slowly retracted her hands inward, looked at Yuan Qingling without rolling her eyes, and then said a little ridiculously: "Crown Princess, you really know how to guess." ”

Yuan Qingling didn't let go of any of her subtle expressions and movements, and continued: "Mu Qingqing is missing, but no one thought that she would marry the king of Southern Xinjiang as a side concubine and give birth to a daughter. ”

Aunt Qing had a more exaggerated sarcastic smile on her face, and the muscles on her face finally trembled a little, "Everyone in Southern Xinjiang knows that the Northern Witch and the King of Southern Xinjiang are in the same vein, and they have been fighting secretly for a long time, and the witch is the leader chosen by the gods, how can she go against the sky?" That's a capital offense! ”

She guessed right!

Yuan Qingling looked at her expression, and said softly in her heart, Mu Qingqing, Concubine Fang, Aunt Qing, and Man'er's mother are all alone.

This explains why she wanted to leave the king of Nanjiang at the beginning, because she concealed her identity and married the king of Nanjiang, and it was impossible to keep it hidden.

And after she left the king of southern Xinjiang, she may have wanted to avoid the limelight at first, but later the king of southern Xinjiang was killed, she couldn't go back, and the people in northern Xinjiang would not let her go, she could only hide in a place where the people of northern Xinjiang couldn't reach her, that is, the capital, that is the royal family in Beijing.

This is also the reason why she is reluctant to leave the palace to serve Lao Jiu, because if she leaves the palace, she will be in danger.

But she eventually came, because she knew that her daughter was in Beijing, and she had to leave the palace to find out her whereabouts.

She sighed softly, stood up and said, "If the barbarian knows that her aunt is still alive, I don't know how happy she would be, but if you can't tell her now, it will kill her, you can rest assured, the entire Chu Wangfu will do its best to protect her." ”

Aunt Qing only sneered, but as Yuan Qingling pushed the door out, her sneer disintegrated little by little, collapsed, tears slid down her face, slid over her wrinkled skin, and fell on her lips, she almost forgot the salty and bitter taste.

Yuan Qingling didn't look back at her, since she was sure of her identity, he could be sure that she would not be unfavorable to the barbarian, and right now, it was best not to recognize each other.
