Not only were the corners of Xiang Ye's mouth full of blood stains, but even his chest was covered with a large area of blackened blood, and all the servants who saw it were emotional, and they all thought that something had really happened to Xiang Yeqi.

After everyone retreated, Xiang Yecai licked the corners of his mouth: "Fortunately, I didn't use mulberries, otherwise I would have to soak in water today to wash them clean, and sure enough, hawthorn is better." ”

Bo Zhaoxu was so angry that he laughed at the person in front of him, and he didn't even care about the same hawthorn juice on his clothes: "How about experiencing the feeling of dying once?" ”

"Not so good."

Explain honestly to Night.

"Then next time I'll be safe." Bo Zhaoxu hesitated slightly, and there seemed to be other meanings in his words, "Don't have anything." ”

……

There are also some reasons why Xiang Yeqi is so sure that person will appear.

When the princess died, she should report to the palace early the next morning, that person was bribed by the rumor, and in order to invite merit and receive the reward, he would definitely rush to send a letter to the rumor concubine overnight to report the "good news".

A little later, the credit has nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, an hour later, the head of the palace came forward to report: "Lord, according to your order, the minions have caught a slave who sneakily wants to sneak out of the mansion, do you want to interrogate one or two?" ”

Bo Zhaoxu responded, and the manager raised his eyes, just in time to see Xiang Yeqi, who had "come back from the dead" and was covered in blood......

Almost fell in place.

Fortunately, I have followed Bo Zhaoxu for many years and have developed a strong psychology.

"Go and change your clothes." Bo Zhaoxu teased Xiang Yeqi with his hawthorn-smelling clothes, "Lest anyone think that this king has raised a hawthorn spirit in the mansion." ”

Xiang Yeqi is not a person who will admit defeat, and immediately retorted: "I think they may think that you are also a hawthorn master." ”

The two of them changed their clothes, and went to the firewood room where the slave and maid were held.

The maid was bound by several hemp ropes, and it was very difficult to even twist her body, let alone try to break free from the ropes and make some big movements.

Seeing the person coming, he just snorted coldly and said cruelly: "It turns out that you are not dead, I wish you were really dead!" Xiang Yeqi, in order to secure the position of the fourth princess, you are really unscrupulous, and you are not worthy of the position! ”

The people of the night stood in place, and the pot came from heaven.

"Tell me, what did I do wrong?" Xiang Yeqi only felt that this girl's hatred for herself was inexplicable, "You want to put me to death, it's not despicable, I want to force you into the net, it's despicable?" ”

The maid obviously felt that her position was untenable, and she did not refute Xiang Yeqi, but only complained with dissatisfaction: "Since you married into the Four Princes' Mansion, the Four Princes' Mansion has not had a peaceful life!" It's not enough for you to occupy this position that you shouldn't occupy, and you even designed to drive away Sister Shangguan! Sister Shangguan is so good to everyone, how can you bear to let her be expelled from the palace...... Fortunately, Sister Shangguan is fine, and she can ask me to take revenge on you! ”

Not a rumor?

Xiang Yeyan couldn't help but be a little surprised, she thought that these were all done by the concubine, could it be ......

She then had a cold back, no wonder the rumor concubine had so much unwarranted hatred for herself, it turned out that the cause and effect had been planted a long time ago.

Let's settle the matter.

That servant originally regarded Xiang Yeqi as a demon who was good at killing and jealous, and her heart was always going to be killed by Xiang Yeqi and thrown out of the house, so it was better to scold him before she died, at least she could be happy for a while.

However, Xiang Yeqi strode out with Bo Zhaoxu as if he was nothing, not caring about her trumped-up charges at all.

"This girl is a little hard-mouthed, and she looks sickly......" Xiang Yeqi glanced back thoughtfully, "If you want to be punished, it is estimated that if you can't wait for her to soften, she will have to swallow her breath first." ”

Bo Zhaoxu probably agrees with this.

Although it is possible to artificially control the severity of the criminal law, she is biased towards Shangguan Rao to this extent...... It's not just a little bit of a fight.

"Let's keep it for now, there's another one over there."

Xiang Yeqi smiled slightly, what she was talking about was the strange maid Green Peony beside the old lady.

Since the old lady Xiang fell ill yesterday, the old lady Xiang has been living in the Four Princes' Mansion, and the Xiang Mansion has never sent anyone to ask, and she has not even urged her.

It can be seen that the old lady Xiang regards Xiang Fu as her life, but Xiang Fu only regards Xiang as an insignificant existence.

The room was very quiet, and before the scene of the death had yet reached the guest room, Green Peony was sitting on the edge of the old lady's bed, yawning and peeling oranges.

Old Madam Xiang has never seen Xiang Yeqi since she said goodbye yesterday, and the palace also controls the circulation of news very well, so Old Madam Xiang doesn't know what happened in Beijing after she returned to Beijing, and she was still a little surprised to see Xiang Yeqi at this time.

"Why are you here so late?"

Old Madame's words were obviously a bit out of place and redundant.

"Yesterday I asked you to pray for your father, can you go?"

"I encountered some small things, but I didn't make it."

Xiang Yeqi was originally here to have a showdown with Old Madam Xiang, so naturally he would not deliberately hide it anymore.

seems to be in order to turn this matter into a "family matter", and as if in response to Bo Zhaoxu's sentence to the family's life in her hands, Xiang Yeqi invited Bo Zhaoxu out, leaving only herself to confront Mrs. Xiang.

Old Madam Xiang has lived a few years old, and the atmosphere around her is so solemn that she won't fail to see what Xiang Yeqi is going to do.

It's nothing more than a teacher asking for guilt.

Xiang sat up straight and sneered, even if she was sick and weak, she had to pick up her unbeatable pride, just as she had disdain for Xiang Yeqi in the past, and said abruptly: "What do you want to ask? ”

This is the original appearance of Mrs. Xiang.

The intersection between Xiang Yeqi and this old lady Xiang is not much, but she is also a good person who is "distressed" and looks down on her old lady who has pretended to be so long.

In the end, he regarded the Four Kings' Mansion as his own home, and Xiang Yeqi moved a stool from the side very easily to sit down.

"How much benefit did grandmother receive from Concubine Yu before she was willing to take everything from Xiangfu?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Old Madam Xiang looked at Xiang Yeqi in surprise, and accidentally penetrated the bottom: "The rumor concubine is good, how could you mistake me for ...... to the mansion?"

"Do you really not know what happened yesterday, or are you playing dumb?" Xiang Yeyan looked at the old lady's face quite seriously, "I was almost captured by the bandits, and I died on the Qingze Mountain in an unknown way, if I am lucky enough to pick up a life, Xiang Fuke will accompany me to suffer." ”

"This slut!"

scolded the old lady from the bottom of his heart.

"Nightgirl, you...... You have to trust me, it's none of my business! No matter how confused I am, I won't harm you with the future of Xiangfu, you say, what do you think I can do? ”

Xiang Yeqi didn't pay attention for a while, and the old lady patted the back of her hand almost closely, pretending to be intimate with her, which made Xiang Yeqi sick to his stomach.

As soon as she crossed it, she withdrew her hand.

Old Madam Xiang's face changed dramatically, but she didn't dare to let Xiang Yeqian see something, and hurriedly squeezed out a far-fetched smile: "You still have a little trouble with your grandmother, aren't you?" What I promised you earlier, my grandmother will give you. ”

What is it?

The number of private conversations between Xiang Yeqi and Xiang Old Lady was counted on one hand, and she had never asked for anything from Xiang Old Lady, and this "bribe" was also a little confused.

The old lady Xiang saw Xiang Yeqi's hesitation at this time, only when she was shaken, she took the opportunity to flatter: "But don't be angry with your grandmother, grandmother is also confused for a while, the slut said that as long as I accompany you to Qingze Mountain, she will give your brother a few kind words in front of the emperor, saying that he is a petty official, and the future of Xiangfu is pointed to him...... Don't tell me about it, Grandmother will give you back your mother's inheritance!" ”

Wait a minute......

Xiang Yeqi once again heard the clue from Mrs. Xiang's words, since the agreement between Mrs. Xiang and the "rumored concubine" Shangguan Rao was to deceive herself into going up the mountain, then whose arrangements were the follow-ups?

Green Peony was a little uncomfortable on the side, and was about to leave: "The old lady and the young lady discussed the matter, and the slave and maid retreated first." ”

"Green Peony Girl, let's stay."

It only took a moment for Xiang Yeqi to figure out the logic in the meantime, no wonder Xiang Old Lady wanted to put herself to death as soon as she made a move, and Xiang Old Lady's departure at that time was not intentional, but one of the links designed by someone.

It's just that before she could open her mouth to ask, Lu Shao knelt on the ground with a puff: "Old lady, it was the slave maid who was fascinated for a while and accepted the benefits of the rumor concubine, and that's why I gave you some medicine to make your head disease recur!" The slave maid thought that the rumor concubine Niangniang just wanted to tease the fourth princess, but she didn't expect her to make such a vicious scheme......"

Xiang Yeqi asked, "That blood swallow was also made by you?" ”

"Not bad!"

She didn't expect this green peony to really dare to respond: "The rumor concubine also rewarded the slave maid with a few blood swallows, and only said that the slave maid would hand over the inferior bird's nest to you, so as to refute the old lady's face and let you turn against the old lady." ”

Xiang Yeqi was speechless for a while, such a ridiculous reason, she Green Peony dared to believe it? But after seeing Green Peony's tears full of remorse, Xiang Yeyan felt that she was deceived clearly, and she believed it sincerely......

For a moment, Xiang Yeqi was worried about the intelligence of the master and servant.

Even though the old lady couldn't sit still, she picked up the crutches on the side of the bed and went to knock on Lu Shao's shoulder: "I let you be greedy for money, I let you be greedy for money!" What a ghost! If it weren't for the fate of the four princesses, the huge Xiangfu would have been ruined on your little slut! Blood swallow is such a valuable thing, you dare to swallow it privately, dare to shoddy? Good you green peony ......"

Before the words fell, Mrs. Xiang coughed on the bed, accompanied by the blood foam of the stars.

It was difficult for Xiang Yeqi to sympathize with Old Madam Xiang, after all, no matter how stupid and ridiculous she was, she almost stabbed herself with a knife.

"Green Peony, do you think that what you said would be believed by others if you changed it?"
