Chapter 111: Are You Still Afraid of Me?
Li Bu took Wanxian to a noodle restaurant outside the palace, asked her for a bowl of noodles, and asked her after comforting her: "Do you remember what those people looked like?" ”
Wanxian nodded, tears fell into the bowl, and choked up: "I know them even if they turn to ashes." ”
"After eating, you go home first, and I'll look for you in the evening."
Wanxian grabbed his sleeve and shook her head: "I don't want to go back!" I don't dare go back! I ......" and I was about to cry as she spoke, and tears were falling down, like that, I don't know what happened to Li Bu to her.
Li Bu took her hand open on the table and patted it gently: "Obedient, there is still this matter in my palace, I will go to you immediately after I am busy." ”
He was on an errand in the palace, not that he could walk away, Wanxian thought about it, and couldn't delay him on an errand so he had to say: "Then I'll wait for you here, come here to find me when you're done, I really don't dare to go back, I'm afraid of them...... I'm afraid they'll come to me again! ”
"Okay, then you just wait here, I'll go talk to the shopkeeper, and let him find a place for you in a while, you can sleep well first."
Wanxian held the noodle bowl and watched him tell the shopkeeper to take care of herself, and watched her leave, the surroundings were lively and peaceful, she felt safe in the crowd, and slowly put her mind at ease.
Cui Xi was deflated in front of Li Bu one after another, and because Li Bu liked Luo Fu and almost strangled her, she held a grudge, so when she went back that night, she told Xue Guifei that Li Bu liked Luo Fu, and asked Xue Guifei to beware of Li Bu.
Xue Guifei stared at her, pointed to the bruises on her neck and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Cui Xi said: "The slave maid found out that he liked the fifth princess, so he went to confront him, who knew that he was annoyed and ashamed after being poked by the slave maid, and wanted to kill the slave and maid. ”
Xue Guifei was indifferent to her life or death, and asked, "Then why didn't I kill you?" ”
Cui Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's ...... That's because he was afraid of the mother and the general, and he knew what the consequences would be if he killed the slave maid, so he didn't dare. ”
Xue Guifei will be suspicious, but she still believes a lot, Li Bu and Luo Fu, she has long seen that something is wrong, if Li Bu really likes Luo Fu, then whether this person is available will have to be considered separately.
Xue Guifei called Li Bu over for questioning, and went straight to the point, asking him if he liked Luo Fu.
Li Bu saw the smug Cui Xi on the side, held his head high, and said bluntly: "Yes." ”
Xue Guifei raised her eyebrows, withdrew her gaze from him, looked at Cui Xi, and said: "You know very well the relationship between this palace and her, you like her, but you work for this palace, Li Bu, should this palace believe you?" ”
"If Niangniang doesn't believe in the minister, the minister is here, and Niangniang can do it at any time to never suffer in the future."
As soon as he said this, Xue Guifei laughed: "You are so not afraid of death, are you sure that this palace will not dare to kill you?" ”
"Of course Niangniang dared to kill the minister, but before Niangniang did it, the minister wanted to defend himself two sentences, although the minister likes the five highnesses, but the minister will not betray the mother and the general because of the five highnesses, the general can not give the minister's highness, which is more important, the minister can carry it clearly, but the emotional matter has always been involuntarily, if the mother is taboo, you can take the minister's life at any time!"
Xue Guifei opened her sleepy eyes: "Finished?" ”
"It's over."
"The general values you very much, this time Chen Songjie's case, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Luo Fu would really have grabbed the handle and stabbed His Majesty, and thanks to your urgency and wisdom, thinking of using the funeral procession to cover up the exchange of two carriages, we have time to transport the stolen silver safely, no matter what, your credit is indelible."
Cui Xi didn't seem to want to deal with Li Bu when she heard Xue Guifei's words, and hurriedly reminded her: "Niangniang......
Li Bu's murderous heart suddenly rose, this Cui Xi, if she continues to keep her, sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe!
"Niangniang, there is one more thing in the minister, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Xue Guifei's curiosity was aroused, and she hurriedly said, "You say." ”
Li Bu glanced at Cuixi, meaning that this matter could only be told to her.
Xue Guifei understood what he meant, and turned her head to let Cui Xi take someone down.
Cui Xi was panicked, she always had a bad premonition, and she didn't know what Li Bu was going to say to Xue Guifei, she had never avoided her when she said things before, but this time she deliberately let her avoid it, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
"Niangniang, the slave maid should stay and serve you."
Xue Guifei was a little impatient: "This palace doesn't need you to serve now, you go out first." ”
"But the mother ......"
"Can't you hear what Motonomiya says? Get you out! ”
Cui Xi didn't dare to disobey Xue Guifei's order, and went out in a daze.
"Now that everyone is gone, you might as well say anything you have to say."
Li Bu said: "After thinking about it, I can't figure out one thing, Uncle Zhou, who knows where the stolen silver is hidden, has already died, and Zhou Feng's sister and brother have no idea about this matter, if they knew about it, they would have collected evidence to help Chen Songjie rehabilitate, and they wouldn't wait until today and there was no movement, so how did His Royal Highness know that the stolen silver was hidden in the Guanyin Temple?" ”
Xue Guifei also thought about this question, but she didn't come up with an answer, and just when Li Bu mentioned it, she hooked up his doubts again: "What do you mean?" ”
"The Fifth Highness definitely does not have the ability to predict the future, and there should be no one else who knows about this matter except for General Niangniang and the ministers, the only possibility is that one of us deliberately leaked the news to the Fifth Highness."
"Intentional leaks?"
First of all, it is impossible for her to talk to Xue Rang, no one will dig their own grave, then Li Bu will be left, if it is him, then he will not deliberately mention this matter, let alone dig a pit and jump by himself, deliberately let Luo Fu know that he has to find a way to solve it himself, and finally go to the yamen of the criminal department to be beaten and come out again.
That's someone else.
Xue Guifei said: "There should be people who know about this matter." ”
Li Bu said something about her words: "Niangniang, think about it carefully, is there anyone else around you who knows about this?" ”
The closest person to Xue Guifei should be Cui Xi, when Xue Rang told her that she hid the stolen silver in the Guanyin Temple, Cui Xi was also there, if someone had to leak this matter, Cui Xi was the most suspicious.
Li Buyan is all about this, and he will not make it clear, otherwise the purpose will be too obvious.
"Hongu understands what you mean." Xue Guifei stood up: "You go back first, as for your affair with Luo Fu...... You're right, it's true that emotional things are not something that people can control if they want to, but this palace and the general value you as a person, as for who you like, we don't care, as long as you can always remember who you are and who you work for, your benefits will naturally be indispensable in the future, and it is not impossible for you to want Luo Fu. ”
Li Bu got up to say goodbye, and when he went out, Cui Xi stopped him: "What did you say to the noble concubine!" ”
"As a palace maid around the concubine, you should know the palace rules best, my official worships the five products, and is an official of the imperial court, is it inappropriate for you to be a little palace maid with a "you" title? ”
Cui Xi gritted her teeth and had to change her title: "Master Li!" Commander Li, what did you say to the noble concubine? ”
"Since I have broken you away when I speak, it is something that you cannot be allowed to know, and asking too many things that you cannot know will not lead to results, but ......" he suddenly said in an unfathomable way, "you will soon know." ”
Cui Xi wanted to stop him and ask clearly, but before she could catch up, Xue Guifei asked other little palace maids to pass her in, and the bad premonition in Cui Xi's heart gradually magnified, so she had to give up asking and go back to see Xue Guifei.
Luo Fu will find that the stolen silver hidden in the Guanyin Temple is indeed too unbelievable, after Li Bu reminded, the more Xue Guifei thinks about it, the more she feels that Cuixi is suspicious, Cuixi has been with her for so long, if there is really a problem, it is enough for her to leak out casually, suspects don't need it, don't doubt it, she is not at ease with Cuixi now, and she can't use it anymore.
Cuixi's submissive appearance made Xue Guifei regret, she sighed, raised Cuixi's chin, and shook her head: "It's a pity." ”
Cui Xi was shocked: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Why do you say that all of a sudden? ”
"This palace believes in you so much......" Xue Guifei turned her head, couldn't bear to look at it, and ordered the eunuchs around her: "Send her to the Imperial Court." ”
Cui Xi's face turned white when she heard the three words "Ting Bureau": "Niangniang!" The mother slave is wronged! What did the slave do wrong? Come as you say, slave and maid! The slave must change! Did Li Bu tell you something? Don't believe his words, Li Bu can't believe it! ”
"He can't believe it, this palace believes in you, this palace believes in you, but what have you done? You and I are the master and servant, this palace doesn't want to make too ugly trouble with you, this palace will order the court bureau to leave you a whole corpse. ”
Cui Xi has always watched others crying and being sent to the court, some of those people were framed by her own hands, and some of them she deliberately sent in to clear the obstacles for herself or Xue Guifei even though she knew that she was not guilty, but she never expected that she would go in one day.
Although there is no evidence to prove that Cui Xi betrayed her, even if it is really not Cui Xi, she knows so many secrets that Xue Guifei will attack her after eating.
The people around her are always changing, so that one person can avoid knowing too much about her.
Cui Xi was sent to the Imperial Court Bureau on the charge of stealing Xue Guifei's bracelet, and the eunuch who sent her said to Sun Ting before leaving: "Guifei Niangniang means that she doesn't want this person anymore, and leaving a whole corpse is also her last bit of mercy." ”
This kind of thing Sun Tingling has long been surprised: "Please rest assured, the minister knows what to do." ”
solved Cuixi, Li Bu changed his duty and left the palace, Wanxian was still waiting for him in that noodle restaurant, during this time Wanxian had already slept for a while, and when she saw him, she was very happy to greet her, but when she thought of going home, she frowned: "Can we not go back?" ”
"Why don't you go back?" Li Bu patted her hand comfortingly: "Are you still afraid of me with me?" ”
