Chapter 110: The maid has a ghost
Updated: 2014-03-22
is still so elegant, still so gentle, compared with yesterday's palace clothes, Jing Concubine, who has now changed into casual clothes, not only does not look monotonous, but is more delicate and agile by this plain clothes.
As soon as she saw the unhappiness on the face of the county lord of Shuhua, Concubine Jing covered her handkerchief and smiled, and her words of comfort were like the crispness of a pearl falling on a jade plate: "Look at our lord of Shuhua, what is wrong with this early morning?" ”
The county lord of Shuhua glared at Qin Yunuan fiercely, his tone softened, and he said to Concubine Jing: "It's nothing, Shuhua in the morning should only be bitten by a dog." ”
This means that Qin Yunuan is just an ignorant mad dog.
Qin Yunuan also smiled at Concubine Jing: "The courtiers have seen Concubine Jing. ”
Concubine Jing smiled and nodded, and said: "It's not too early, the Daxiong Treasure Hall should also be ready, since everyone has already bathed and burned incense, it is time to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to copy the scriptures, fast and pray for blessings." ”
This means that in the next forty-nine days, Qin Yunuan will be in a Buddhist hall with Lord Shuhua and Concubine Jing almost every day during the day, and these two people, one is an open gun and the other is a hidden arrow, they all have to be guarded against.
On the way there, the county lord of Shuhua had been pulling Concubine Jing and refused to let go, so she finally found a gap, and Concubine Jing said to Qin Yunuan slightly apologetically: "Shuhua is still young, and it is inevitable that she will act a little recklessly, so Miss Qin San should not care too much." ”
Qin Yunuan blessed her body slightly, and said with a smile: "The county lord of Shuhua is cheerful and lively, compared with the wooden voice of the courtier, it is a lot more eye-catching. "Neither said that the county lord of Shuhua was not, nor did he complain and complain, Qin Yunuan didn't let Concubine Jing get a little cheap.
Concubine Jing smiled slightly, and saw that there were only two maids serving by Qin Yunuan's side, Man'er and Tong'er, and asked, "Are the people serving around Miss Qin still enough?" If there are not enough people, you can borrow some people from me, although the errand, since everyone came to this Xiangguo Temple to pray for the queen mother, it is also a fate. ”
Qin Yunuan looked back at Tong'er and Man'er, who were all silent, with their heads down, and said: "These two are maids who have been with Yu Nuan for a long time, and Yu Nuan is used to being sent, and Niangniang is surrounded by capable people, so Yu Nuan will not be loved." ”
Concubine Jing smiled: "Miss Qin San is really a talker, but the same is true for employing people and maids, after all, you still have to think about the master with intimacy, but if you are betrayed by your own maid one day, you don't know, Miss Qin San, you say this is the truth?" ”
Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows slightly, she silently glanced at Concubine Jing, and replied with a smile: "Yunuan can guarantee that these two maids are loyal to the Lord." Sensing that one of the people beside him trembled slightly, Qin Yunuan raised his head even more, and said with determination, "Yunuan treats them sincerely, and naturally believes that they will treat Yunuan sincerely." ”
Jing Concubine: "That's fine." ”
The tower incense of the Mahavira Hall has already been lit, and the monks who sprinkled the sweeping were even earlier to clean the Mahavira Hall spotlessly, and in front of the statue of Sakyamuni were three half-old futons, and the maidservants of the three of them took care of their respective masters, and they were all ready to retreat silently.
Tong'er set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Qin Yunuan to copy the scriptures, and Man'er helped Qin Yunuan to sit under the futon, suddenly, Qin Yunuan fell suddenly, looking like she was about to fall, fortunately she was supported by Man'er sideways, and at this side-by-side moment, Qin Yunuan suddenly whispered to Man'er: "Watch her." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Tong'er as if he was inadvertent, Man'er was stunned, but he immediately understood what Qin Yunuan meant, nodded slightly, and responded.
"Miss Qin San is okay?" Concubine Jing saw the movement here and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that somehow, Yu Nuan's body seems to be a little weak recently, and sometimes she gets dizzy, and her body is very weak." Qin Yunuan stroked his chest and said, gasping for breath in small gulps really looked like he was so weak that he was weak.
"I'm afraid it's getting hot," Jing Concubine smiled gently, "When I go back, I'll ask someone to send some mint leaves and bitter tea, all from Xixia, the taste is pleasant and smelly, and the effect of reducing the heat is also good." ”
The county lord of Shuhua was unhappy: "Concubine Jing is really, Shuhua doesn't have these good things, Concubine Jing is good, but it is cheaper for outsiders." ”
This outsider is Qin Yunuan.
Concubine Jing was not annoyed, and still quipped: "Look at Shuhua, your vinegar strength, you are about to catch up with the old vinegar, okay, okay, if you like it, just get it from me every day, anyway, I have enough for you to drink." ”
Shuhua also smiled: "It's not all the emperor who loves Niangniang, and he thinks about Niangniang first when he has any good things." ”
Concubine Jing smiled slightly, didn't speak, just glanced at Qin Yunuan with low eyebrows, but this time, there was a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes, and she was caught by Qin Yunuan again.
To tell the truth, she and this Jing Concubine Niangniang, the original Lu Cairen was rough but had only met twice, although each time this Jing Concubine did an extremely good job, but every time the jealousy at the top of her eyebrows made Qin Yunuan's heart tremble, in her past life and present life, Qin Yunuan watched countless people, she understood that such a jealous look must come from a great injustice in her heart, but she and Jing Concubine ......
What exactly is the intersection?
The three of them were silently copying Buddhist scriptures in the main hall, Xu really hoped that the Queen Mother would recover as soon as possible, and the lord of Shuhua, who was abnormally noisy on weekdays, was so quiet and peaceful for the first time, and wrote very carefully one stroke at a time, and Jing Concubine was also focused on the action of writing on her fingertips, and in a blink of an eye, it was dusk, and she simply used the food, and everyone went back to the room to rest.
As soon as he returned to the wing, Qin Yunuan immediately called Man'er to come in, pulled up the long hair that had been scattered, and said to Man'er: "Pull it out for me." ”
On the back of Qin Yunuan's neck, there is a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair that is half a finger long, this is an acupuncture point she found after asking Leng Wu yesterday, the effect is that it can amplify people's sense of smell in a short time, but it can't exceed six hours, otherwise the object will be reversed, and it will damage the sense of smell, Qin Yunuan's sense of smell is several times more sensitive than ordinary people, and today, she took a risk to confirm one thing.
There is a Buddha incense burning in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and it seems that the strongest one has been specially selected, if she relies on her own sense of smell to identify it in this environment, there will definitely be no such a big gain.
Now she can be sure of the smell she smelled on Jing Concubine for the first time yesterday, along with the somewhat unnatural expression of Jing Concubine Niangniang, plus the harvest after using acupuncture to catalyze and amplify the sense of smell today.
Man'er quickly pulled out the silver needle on the back of Qin Yunuan's neck, and hurriedly wrapped it up, ready to dispose of it.
"Third girl, how's it going?"
"Concubine Jing's face is fake, using a human skin mask," Qin Yunuan said very firmly, "When I was in the hunting ground, the assassin also used a human skin mask, and later Leng Changxi told me that the human skin mask in Western Xia has achieved a magical effect, but it can only be worn for a short time, if you want to use it for a long time, you need to use it with a spice to prevent the real human skin under the human skin mask from rotting and changing color because it is blocked and cannot breathe freely, I smelled this spice once, and it is exactly the same as Jing Concubine's body, Although she processed it to fade the smell, I knew that it was the smell. ”
"It turns out that Concubine Jing's beautiful and fragrant face is ......." Man'er covered his mouth and didn't continue.
"No," Qin Yunuan calmly judged, "Her appearance should be true, otherwise if a concubine's appearance changes too much, it will also attract the attention of the people in the palace, Leng Changxi said, once this spice is broken, even if the human skin mask is no longer used in the future, the original skin will speed up aging because of the nourishment of the fragrance, it is very likely that almost overnight, from twenty to eighty years old, Concubine Jing should not have changed her face, the only reason is that her original appearance is likely to be ruined, It was impossible for her to get her hands on the human skin mask and spices, and it can be inferred that someone used the human skin mask and spices to control her. ”
"Who could it be?"
Qin Yunuan frowned, did not speak, the forces in the palace are complicated, she can't speculate yet, she can only be sure that someone has begun to secretly attack her, and the origin is not small, in addition to being more careful and carefully tracking, she can only take one step at a time.
"How's it going today?" Qin Yunuan changed the topic and asked Man'er.
Seeing that Man'er's face was a little ugly, he had already guessed most of it.
"Third girl, Tong'er, she ......." Man'er was only halfway through his words, and the voice of the little novice came from outside, it was still the cute little novice from yesterday, with a white porcelain bottle in his hand, waiting outside the door under the leadership of Tong'er, and saluted Qin Yunuan and said: "Female donor, I am here to send soothing incense to the female benefactor on the order of the master, this is the soothing incense prepared by the master himself, which has the effect of reassuring and concentrating, and hopes to help the female donor sleep well." ”
Xiao Shami's mouthful of a "female benefactor" shouted extremely loudly and very pleasingly.
Master Xuanzhi again, Qin Yunuan took it with a smile, and hurriedly thanked her, she knew in her heart that Master Xuanzhi taking care of herself so much must be entrusted by Leng Changxi, so that an otherworldly monk could take care of a lowly concubine like this, it seems that the friendship between Leng Changxi and this Master Xuanzhi is by no means ordinary.
"This Master Xuanzhi is so intimate, no, I think he probably sees that the third girl is now married to General Leng, and he can't wait to stutter." Tong'er said matter-of-factly.
"It's just your mouth." Man'er whispered.
Qin Yunuan also said coldly: "Master Xuanzhi is the number one monk in Daqi, and he doesn't need to be attached to anyone, and Tong'er, if your words are heard by others, have you thought about any consequences?" Or, what are the consequences you hope for? ”
