107. There is no chance to complete the task

The princess asked a few more questions about the shopkeeper Chen and didn't speak again, and the room fell silent again, Su Xi quietly looked at the princess, only to see that her eyes were scattered, as if she was wandering in the sky.

Intuition told Su Xi that the relationship between the princess and the shopkeeper Chen was by no means an ordinary master-servant relationship, and the princess cared too much about him.

Just when Su Xi was secretly pondering, the princess spoke again: "I have sent someone to contact the Lu family, I think it won't be long before someone will come to pick you up, and you can stay in the princess's mansion before that." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!" Su Xi thanked sincerely, this was also what she wanted to ask for, the princess arranged it for her in advance, how could she not be grateful.

The princess summoned Qiu Si, who was waiting outside the door, and instructed her to treat Su Xi as a distinguished guest, so she asked her to leave with Su Xi.

Out of Qiansi Pavilion, the soft sedan chair she was sitting on was still in place at this time, Minglan stood by the sedan chair and waited for her, Su Xi rubbed her fingers and couldn't help but say to her: "It's so cold here, why don't you find a place to stay in the wind?" ”

Minglan was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Thank you Madame for your concern, there is an ear room around the corner, and the slave and maid are hiding in it, and it is not cold." ”

Minglan pointed to the end of the wall and told her that there was an ear room around the corner, Su Xi knew that she couldn't see it or looked over there twice, she nodded with a smile and sat in the soft sedan chair.

————————————

Mama Yu picked up the water for a long time, she had not done heavy work all the year round, and her waist was tired for a long time, and the little steward also scolded and scolded her for her slow hands and feet, and from time to time she came up and twisted her arm.

What kind of iniquity is this, to suffer this anger? Mama Yu was not angry in her heart, and said in her heart: If it weren't for the task entrusted by the adult, how could she have become so embarrassed.

Mama Yu straightened the dirty and crumpled uniforms on her body, wiped her scattered hair to smooth them out, and while cursing Su Xi, who made a mess for her, she found the most broken Dou Pozi in the kitchen.

"This sister," Mama Yu cheekily exclaimed, "Sister, I didn't know what the rules were when I first arrived, and I bothered my sister to teach me: the water that Steward Sun asked me to pick has been picked, I don't know what else to do?" ”

Mrs. Dou relied on her son to work as a guard in the princess's mansion, and she always felt that she was superior, she couldn't do her job, and her remarks were first-class, which made people disgusted and didn't know it.

She listened to Mama Yu's flattery, her heart fluttered, and she immediately put up the eldest sister's style and said, "New here? Even if you have the foresight, you know which one you can't offend. ”

Mrs. Dou said proudly, Mama Yu complained about her in her heart, but she still smiled on her face and continued to flatter her.

Mrs. Dou listened to her heart, it was the first time that someone respected her so much, and instantly regarded Mama Yu as her good sister, and pulled her and said: "If you listen to the person surnamed Sun, she loves to bully newcomers, come, follow my sister and I will wash the vegetables, relax." ”

She carried a basket of vegetables under her hand to Mama Yu, and Mama Yu squatted next to her, washing vegetables while quietly inquiring about the princess's mansion.

Mama Yu asked some precautions and daily trivial things in the house before pretending to mention Su Xi casually: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess met an assassin when she traveled yesterday, which is really scary. ”

"What kind of assassin," Mrs. Dou really knew something, and she lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you, don't tell anyone else, that girl is actually the little lady of our mansion's Li Commander's family, and after being abandoned, she was unwilling to ask the princess to comment." ”

"It's a pity," Mrs. Dou regretted in her mouth, but she smiled ambiguously on her face, "Commander Li is a talent, and she has long been our princess's person, and this girl is looking for her own death." ”

What a mess, how could Su Xi have something to do with the leader of the princess's mansion. The corners of Mama Yu's mouth twitched, and she continued to ask with a pretended surprise look: "...... princess and Commander Li?"

Gossip can always shorten the distance between people, Dou Pozi obviously likes this, and when she heard Mama Yu ask, she immediately approached and said:

"Others don't know, I know that no one can enter the princess's dormitory except for her female officials, but since Commander Li came, he has one more person who can often enter and exit the princess's dormitory, and he doesn't have a leg."

Mama Yu showed her curiosity just right, and when Mrs. Dou was happy, she brought the topic back to Su Xi: "If that's the case, can the princess tolerate Commander Li and other women?" Yesterday, the female assassin must have died. ”

"That's not true," Dou Pozi was not very interested in female assassins, after all, no one had the courage to rob a man with the princess, and there was no story, but she still told Mama Yu what she knew:

"According to my son, that woman was imprisoned in the dungeon of the princess's mansion."

"Still alive?" Mama Yu said in surprise.

"It should be," said this, Mrs. Dou smiled mysteriously again, "Yesterday when I returned to the house, Commander Li specially told my son that they treated the female assassin well, and then went to the princess's dormitory alone, and did not come out for a night.

"According to me, eighty percent is for my little lover to please the princess." After that, he wondered how Commander Li was ingratiating, and called the old Mama Yu to hear it.

However, after getting Su Xi's whereabouts, Mama Yu was still relatively satisfied, and the next thing was to find out the location of the dungeon and find out who was responsible for delivering food to the dungeon guards.

As soon as she inquired, it happened that it was Mrs. Dou who was in charge, and Mama Yu hurriedly hugged her thighs and begged Mrs. Dou to take her to see the world in the house, and Mrs. Dou was in a very good mood and agreed.

I heard that a distinguished guest came to the house to stay for a while, and asked Mrs. Dou to send some vegetables to the small kitchen over there, Mrs. Dou directly asked Mama Yu to follow, and the two of them picked two baskets of vegetables and walked to the guest room in the west courtyard.

After delivering the dishes, Mrs. Dou habitually pulled the housekeeper of the West Courtyard to chat, nothing more than to inquire about the identity of the guests or the gossip in the house, Mama Yu was not interested in this, so she turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, and suddenly saw a familiar figure under the eaves of the opposite corridor.

Mama Yu took a few steps forward to take a closer look, and heard the housekeeper of the West Courtyard whisper: "Oh, that is the new guest who has come in, and the princess order passed by the female official Qiu Si herself, telling us to treat him as a distinguished guest." ”

"Who's that girl?" Mama Yu was anxious and asked directly.

The mother-in-law didn't recognize Mama Yu, and was a little unhappy with her "lack of etiquette", raised her head, and said casually: "That's the princess's guest, how can her identity be known casually by a humble subordinate." ”

Mrs. Dou knew that this was making people angry, so she immediately tugged at Mama Yu's sleeve, and said goodbye with a smile on her face.

The more Mama Yu walked to the kitchen, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the guest was like Su Xi, and it was the same in terms of time, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, knowing that Su Xi's identity was afraid that she had already crossed the clear road with the princess, and she had no chance to complete the task.

Mama Yu was in a very bad mood, and she was afraid that the princess would help Su Xi to trouble her, so she regretted not listening to Baiyang's words and left quickly.

It's not too late now, Mama Yu made up her mind, and when she went back in the evening, she and Baiyang would leave Anping immediately and find a remote village to settle down, but how did she know about the people in the princess's mansion, especially the inferior servants like her, who only had one vacation a month.

After hearing this regulation, Mama Yu's eyes darkened and she fainted directly.
