Chapter 260: Death by the Staff

After saying this, Gu Banqin stood there waiting for Shen Qing to continue speaking, only to see Shen Qing bow his head nervously, and after thinking for a while, he said to Gu Banqin:

"Last time, I saw that Niangniang looked tired, and I was very worried about it, and I had nothing to do in the Splendid Palace in the past two days, so I thought about using some sun-dried mint leaves to make a sachet for Niangniang, and Niangniang naturally did not lack these, which was just a concubine's mind."

Gu Banqin observed Shen Qing's expression with his eyes, although he looked timid and shy, his words were quite sincere, Gu Banqin smiled and said:

"Shen Jieyu has a heart. It's true that I don't sleep well these days, and with your sachet, it's definitely going to be better. Is there anything else Shen Jieyu can do? ”

This girl wouldn't call her just to give her a sachet, would she?

Gu Banqin said secretly in her heart, sure enough, Shen Qing bit her lip, stopped talking, looked left and right, and then came to Gu Banqin and whispered:

"The concubine gave the maiden sachet completely out of sincerity, but there was indeed a distress. It's my righteous sister, you've seen ...... Niangniang."

Gu Banqin nodded patiently: "Yes, I've seen it, what's wrong with her?" ”

"She entered the palace with me, I chose a show girl, she chose a palace maid, the concubine had a good life, and she was able to enter the palace to serve, but Sister Liang Hong somehow offended the eunuch Fang Tong, the eunuch of the Inner Court Division, and after coming and going, Sister Liang Hong was assigned to the place where the concubine went, and the concubine ......"

Shen Qing told Gu Banqin about the matter, Gu Banqin was a little embarrassed when she heard it, Liu Wu saw this, and without waiting for Gu Banqin to speak, she stepped forward and smiled at Shen Qing:

"Shen Jieyu, don't worry, you have to go to Manager Wang for this matter, our mother has never interfered in the employment of people in the palace, you are just afraid that you are looking for the wrong person."

Liu Wu's refusal made Shen Qing's expression a little melancholy, but he didn't say anything, and nodded secretly: "Yes, the concubine also knows that this matter should not be embarrassed by the mother, and the concubine retired." ”

After saying this, Shen Qing saw that Gu Banqin never spoke again, so he knew what Gu Banqin meant, and after saluting Gu Banqin, he turned around and left in disappointment.

After she walked away, Liu Wu said to Gu Banqin: "What's the matter with this Shen Jieyu, she wants to let her do things for her when she sends a sachet to Niangniang?" It's too easy to think, isn't it? ”

Gu Banqin glanced at her, turned around and continued walking, a cold wind blew in her face, Gu Banqin sniffed, and asked Liu Wu:

"What do you have to send to you, so you can do something for her?"

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted after a while, hurriedly walked behind Gu Banqin, and said to Gu Banqin: "Niangniang, the slave didn't say that she wanted to collect things for others, but she just felt that this Shen Jieyu was too self-righteous, and Niangniang was not from her family, why did she have to do things for her as soon as she entered the palace." ”

Gu Banqin smiled: "She is a little girl, after entering the palace, there is no acquaintance around, I have a two-sided relationship with her, maybe in her eyes, I am her acquaintance, my heart is not bad, I just can't speak, I can't do things, there is nothing wrong." ”

"The mother is kind-hearted. Since Niangniang feels so sorry for her, why don't you help her? ”

In fact, what Shen Jieyu said before, her own mother can't do it, that is, a matter of one sentence, now in the palace, who will give her own mother a look, and it's not impatient.

Liu Wu stood up for Gu Banqin before seeing that his mother didn't speak, and she was a little puzzled at the moment, because she listened to her mother's tone, and she was not disgusted with that Shen Jieyu.

Gu Banqin smiled: "Her simple temperament is not frustrated, where can she grow up." I'm trying to get her to work. Besides......"

Gu Banqin was halfway through the words, and then he paused there, Liu Banqin stretched his neck and waited, but Gu Banqin just didn't say it, and when Liu Banqin was about to hold back, Gu Banqin turned his head and smiled slyly at her:

"Besides, I really don't have a relationship with her. It's too light. ”

Catkins:......

Helian Hongyi is so busy these days that he can hardly see people during the day, and sometimes he will send Wang Shun to send some novelty things to satisfy Gu Banqin's hunger, but others can't come.

Gu Banqin has been thinking about Helian Hongyi very much recently, and inexplicably wants to rely on it, every morning when Helian Hongyi gets up, Gu Banqin will wake up for a while even if he is sleepy, and hold him for a while before letting him go.

However, despite the dependence in his heart, Gu Banqin is still sensible.

Gu Banqin felt that since she recognized Helian Hongyi's feelings, she still had to manage this relationship with her heart, after all, the happiness and safety of life in the second half of her life depended on Helian Hongyi.

Thinking of this, Gu Banqin couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed, her heart suddenly softened, thinking about the intimate entanglement between the two in the tent yesterday, Gu Banqin only felt that the tea she drank was sweet, and the things sent by the imperial dining room were a little better than usual, and her appetite was better.

Hand the empty bowl to catkins: "Another bowl." ”

Liu Wu was surprised, hurriedly came over and took the bowl, and while scooping the soup from the cup, he said to Gu Banqin: "Niangniang has a really good appetite today, and I used to say that these soups are not delicious." ”

Gu Banqin smiled sweetly: "That's it...... Suddenly I wanted to be happy, and the soup became delicious. ”

Liu Wu was about to ask Gu Banqin what was happy, but Caiping walked in from outside, came to Gu Banqin and whispered: "Niangniang, something happened to Xiang Nuangong." Xie Zhaoyi moved the real fire and wanted to kill the palace maid in a person's place. ”

Gu Banqin swallowed the soup in her mouth, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, frowned and said:

"Xie Zhaoyi wants to kill a palace maid who is going to be sent to a person with a cane? Why? Two unrelated things. ”

Caiping replied: "The slave maid heard that Shen Jieyu offended Xie Zhaoyi by speaking, Xie Zhaoyi asked Shen Jieyu to kneel outside in her clothes for an hour, and the person went to send firewood to the warm palace, and all the palace maids under the person seemed to know Shen Jieyu, so they begged Xie Zhaoyi regardless of their identity, and wanted Xie Zhaoyi to raise her noble hand and let Shen Jieyu go. ”

"Isn't Xie Zhaoyi angry now, why did she say those words to the palace maid who went down alone, Shen Jieyu knelt and almost fainted, and the palace maid stood up with Xie Zhaoyi, and said that Xie Zhaoyi was a demon who careless about people's lives......"

"This is really too much, Xie Zhaoyi was furious, so he sent someone to tie up the palace maid outside Xiang Nuan Palace, and waited for the Inner Court Division to send someone to execute it, and Xiang Nuan Palace also sent someone to ask Niangniang, what should I do about this?"

Gu Banqin subconsciously wanted to take another sip of soup, Xie Zhaoyi has been in the palace for two or three years, although she always likes to carry a gun and a stick, but she has never heard that she will be angry and want to kill anyone with a cane, it seems that she has indeed been attacked unbearably.

Thinking of Shen Qing's stupid appearance, the palace maid in the place must be her sister-in-law Liang Hong, who was outside Cining Palace last time, and Shen Qing offended people by speaking, and Liang Hong was protecting her by the side.

This time, it's because of Shen Qing, Liang Hong came to give her a head, but I don't want to think about it, what kind of place is this, it's not the backyard of their Shen family, Xie Zhaoyi is not an ordinary lady, she is a palace maid alone, why should she talk back to Shuyuan Niangniang.

That Liang Hong doesn't look like a stupid person.

Xiang Nuan Palace wants to execute people, he must come to inform Gu Banqin, the messenger is still waiting outside, as long as Gu Banqin says a casual word, Xie Zhaoyi will do it.

Gu Banqin really didn't want to care about this, but if he really wasted a life because of this matter, it would be too worthless, put down the spoon, Gu Banqin stood up and said to Liu Wu:

"Change my clothes for me, and go to the warm palace to see what's going on."

Caiping knew what Gu Banqin meant, walked outside the palace gate, and said to the palace maid who came to the warm palace, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang went in person for a while, so that the messenger would go back first to inform Xie Zhaoyi.

Gu Banqin's stomach was warm, and after changing his clothes, he went to Xiang Nuan Palace.

There are not many people outside the palace gate, they should have been driven over, and the deputy head Zhang Ping came from the inner court, and when he saw Gu Banqin hurriedly coming over to ask for peace, Gu Banqin raised his hand and walked into the Xiangnuan Palace.

In the courtyard of the warm palace, Shen Jieyu cried pear blossoms with rain, and the two eunuchs on the side held a palace maid wearing a green silk palace costume in her hands, Shen Jieyu saw Gu Banqin, and her swollen walnut-like eyes seemed to see light, and she wanted to get up and talk to Gu Banqin, but she didn't dare, and her aggrieved appearance made Gu Banqin look a little depressed.

Like Helian Hongyi, she doesn't like the kind of fool who thinks she is smart, she doesn't have that diamond diamond, don't do porcelain work, she can't be sure of her identity, she harms this and that every day, not to mention causing trouble to people, in a place like the palace where the living environment is bad, it is possible to kill people.

Gu Banqin didn't squint, and walked towards the main hall of the warm palace, Xie Zhaoyi got the news, greeted her, and saw Gu Banqin saluting, Gu Banqin helped her up:

"Why do you make such a big fire?"

Xie Zhaoyi swept towards the courtyard: "Shen Jieyu is just that, anyway, they are all serving the emperor, but that palace maid is too blind, pointing at my nose and saying that I am a demon who cares about human life, I am so big, no one dares to talk to me like this." If I don't dispose of her, in the future, in this harem, won't anyone be able to point at me and scold me? ”

Gu Banqin wanted to nod and say yes, Xie Zhaoyi didn't lose any temper, this time it was indeed a problem with these two people, Gu Banqin's eyes swept over Shen Qing and Liang Hong, Shen Qing lowered his head and couldn't stop crying, and his tears couldn't be stopped.

However, Liang Hong, who was held on the ground by the eunuch, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Banqin, and that glance contained a lot of emotions, among which there were not many emotions of anger and injustice, to Gu Banqin's surprise, Liang Hong's eyes and her expression did not look like a sign of panic.

"There is indeed something wrong with this palace maid."

Gu Banqin withdrew her gaze from Liang Hong's face, and turned to Xie Zhaoyi and said: "But the crime is not to death, she and your own family Shen Jieyu are righteous sisters, they grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, plus they have just entered the palace, and they are not familiar with the rules of the palace, so Xie Zhaoyi will be punished with a punishment, so that they will learn a lesson in the future." Besides, Shen Jieyu first entered the court, if Shuyuan killed her righteous sister, I am afraid that people who don't know the inside story will say that you have played a role in the topic, think about it carefully, is this reasonable? ”
