Chapter 50: Puzzle Clearing
The two eunuchs who were in charge of the punishment put down the sticks in their hands, saluted Lianzhi and Wen Yunxi, and said: "Sixth princess, after these hundred sticks, whether you can live or not depends on your own life, and the slaves are only acting on orders." The slave knows that the six princesses are kind-hearted, and if you can't see these bad things, you should not have seen them. ”
Wen Yunxi was refuted by the slave for the first time, these two eunuchs looked at it was not simple, there must be someone who didn't want Xiao Quanzi to live, so they deliberately arranged these two eunuchs.
"Are you the master or the sixth princess is the master? You just listen to what the master says, do you still need you to teach the six princesses a lesson? Lianzhi said coldly.
Wen Yunxi reacted at this time, and she immediately said: "These two minions will be punished by the princess for twenty strokes, and they will be dragged down immediately." ”
The palace people who were originally following behind Wen Yunxi immediately stepped forward to pull away the two eunuchs, and the two eunuchs said in an almost threatening tone: "Sixth princess, the slave is acting on orders, you are going to disobey the emperor's orders." ”
"A hundred of his rods will not be less, and you will not be able to escape twenty of your rods. It's just two minions, and they dare to commit a crime, and if they don't punish you today, this princess can't swallow this breath. Wen Yunxi directly let people drag them away, and as for Xiao Quanzi, there were naturally other eunuchs to continue the execution. However, with this just now, the eunuch who came to continue the execution would definitely show mercy, and Xiao Quanzi's life could be saved.
Wen Yunxi and Lianzhi didn't stay long, and turned around and went back directly.
"Why are you bothering about this?" Lian Zhi asked, "This is an order personally ordered by the Emperor of Chu, are you not afraid of being sued by the emperor, are you punished by the Emperor of Chu?" ”
Wen Yunxi replied: "That little Quanzi is actually a very good person, when I went to see my father before, the refreshments he brought me were all I liked to eat." ”
"Is it just because of that?"
"I don't get the attention of my father like a few imperial brothers, and I am not as favored by my father as Wen Miqing, so the palace maids and eunuchs who serve by my father's side will inevitably be a little slack with me, only this little son can clearly remember my preferences. Today's incident is caused by Xiao Quanzi's carelessness, I always don't believe it in my heart, he can even remember my preferences clearly, how could he make such a mistake? And even if it is caused by his carelessness, he will not sin to death! ”
"You can always remember how good someone is to you, no matter who that person is."
"Of course I have to remember that others are good to me." Wen Yunxi smiled, "Even if you are the daughter of the heavenly family, how much real care and warmth can we get in this life?" Therefore, I must remember the kindness of others to me. ”
Wen Yunxi is a person who is very easy to satisfy, she has no ambitions, just like the most ordinary little girl, simple and full of hope for the future, these are all things that Lianzhi can't ask for today.
"Your mother is waiting for you in front, you can go back with the lady concubine." Lianzhi saw Concubine Shu standing in front, and Wen Yunxi found Concubine Shu after being reminded by Lianzhi: "I thought that the concubine had left, but I didn't expect that she hadn't left." ”
"Such a big thing happened today, Concubine Shuniang must have something to say to you, go quickly."
"What about you?"
"What, you're afraid I won't be able to go back?"
Wen Yunxi smiled, a little silly: "Then I'll leave first, and I'll look for you in two days." ”
Seeing Wen Yunxi and Concubine Shu leaving, Lianzhi stood alone in front of the Hall of Eternal Life, looking more and more depressed.
Su Ying stepped forward: "Princess, let's go back too." ”
Lianzhi nodded: "You just follow behind, you don't have to hold an umbrella for me, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
"Princess." Su Ying was a little worried, she felt that the Chinese New Year's Eve lotus was thinking of Dongxia, so she was a little unhappy.
Lian Zhi waved her hand and motioned for her to retreat: "It's okay, you just follow behind." Su Ying couldn't resist Lianzhi, and finally retreated.
Lianzhi walked into the snow, and the snow was still falling, slowly falling on her hair and body. Su Ying and Su Qing just followed from a distance, not daring to step forward.
Lianzhi stopped suddenly, and she slowly reached out to catch the snowflakes, and then the snowflakes melted in her palms. She raised her head and looked at the night sky, at this moment it seemed that she was the only one left in this huge world, in fact, she had always been alone, she should have gotten used to it a long time ago, but why did she feel empty in her heart today?
An umbrella suddenly appeared in Lianzhi's sight, and she turned her head to look behind her, it was Wen Zhiyu.
"What are you thinking, to be so distracted?" He stretched out his hand and held Lianzhi's hand, "My hands are so cold, and I still go to catch snowflakes, I really don't care about my body." ”
"Why are you still here?" Only then did Lian Zhi come back to her senses, and she did not withdraw her hand.
"Of course I'm waiting for you, you're such a big person, why can't you take care of yourself?" Wen Zhiyu let go of Lianzhi's hand, gathered the fox fur draped outside for her, saw the snowflakes on her body and head, sighed, and had to pat the students on her body for her, and gently swept away the snowflakes on Lianzhi's hair.
Lian Zhi quietly watched Wen Zhiyu doing these things carefully, and smiled willy: "You always appear at this time. ”
"When?"
"When you're most vulnerable?" Lianzhi asked rhetorically.
Wen Zhiyu thought for a while: "Isn't that the time when you need me the most, isn't it just right for me to appear at this time?" He held an umbrella for Lianzhi, and the umbrella was inclined to Lianzhi, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the palace." ”
The two walked towards Yuyang Palace, and Lian Zhi suddenly asked, "What happened to the Luo family suddenly?" ”
"You're on the alert."
"It is impossible for Emperor Chu to scold the queen for no reason, although it is thunder and rain, but this is also very embarrassing for the queen."
"The Luo family is red, and the Su family can stay in Chujing all year round, and they have an excerpt some time ago and want to return to Beijing. The father rejected it, but the anger in his heart was still there, so he naturally wanted to be angry with the queen. The empress has long known that the Luo family wants to return to the capital, I am afraid that the Luo family will still have the encouragement of the empress, and the matter of the ink painting last time has already given the empress a reminder, but the empress did not take it to heart, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will beat the empress today. After tonight, the Luo family should be at peace a lot. ”
"The queen may have always thought that the punishment of ink painting was the emperor's favoritism to the virtuous concubine, and she didn't think that it was the Luo family's reason."
"The queen is still too small."
"The eldest prince is not a fool, how could he let the queen do such a stupid thing?"
"The Luo family's return to Beijing is also a big help for Wen Zhiyan, he can take a risk for this help, anyway, even if he fails, it is just the anger of his father, but if he succeeds, the benefits are too great."
"But what I'm more curious about now is, whose hand is it that happened to Dongzhu tonight?"
"What do you think?"
"I hope it's not what I thought it would."
"What do you think?"
"Concubine Xian hated the queen, so she came up with a way to steal Dongzhu and frame the queen, but the queen had already been on guard against Concubine Xian, so she simply used the plan to frame me. But I was lucky, it happened that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Luo family, and the queen did not get any benefits from this matter. ”
"You're exactly right." Wen Zhiyu nodded, "I heard Shuhan say that this matter was related to Yuyang Palace, so I immediately let the cold wind rush to Yuyang Palace. Dongzhu was handed over to Hanfeng by the palace maid of your Yuyang Palace, and then Hanfeng was put back in the apse of the Hall of Eternal Life. ”
"The queen is now on the cusp, if Dongzhu is lost in previous years, it will not have much impact on the queen, but this year's incident can play a big role. No wonder Concubine Xian, who has always been able to endure it, will fight this time, but the queen has long been on guard against Concubine Xian, but I didn't expect that the queen would actually hit me on the head. ”
"Do you think my father doesn't know?" Wen Zhixuan's smile was a little sarcastic, "They all regard their father as a fool, and their father is like a mirror in his heart." Concubine Xian has endured it for so many years, but she still can't help it after all, and her father already has a grudge against Concubine Xian. It's just that the purpose of the father and the emperor today is the queen, so he let the virtuous concubine go. ”
Lian Zhi said regretfully: "Emperor Chu is suspicious in nature, Concubine Xian will not be as smooth as before in the future, she is lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot." ”
"You've only been in Xichu for a few months, and you've already been so transparent. Those who have spent so many years here are not as good as you. Wen Zhiyu sighed.
"It's just that you are in the game and don't know it, but outsiders can see it clearly."
Lianzhi's words made Wen Zhiyu stop, and Lianzhi also stopped and looked at Wen Zhiyu: "What, am I not right?" ”
"Wanyang, in fact, you have long been a person in the bureau, and you have been involved since the day you entered the Xichu Palace."
