Chapter 689: The Xu Family
Murong Hui was a little disappointed, but she quickly calmed down, after all, even if the murderer didn't find out that his tassel accessories were damaged, he wouldn't run out and spin around not long after killing people.
Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing looked dazed, they didn't know what Mama Huang and Murong Hui were talking about.
However, the two didn't ask too much, and continued to walk.
It's just that Murong Hui remembered Qinglan again because of this episode, and she was in no mood to talk anymore.
After returning to the East Side Hall for an afternoon, Murong Hui recovered from this negative emotion.
"Your Highness, don't think so much, as long as this murderer is still in the palace, we will always have a chance to find her. Aren't the two emperors and queens going to the palace in a few months? At that time, it will be up to you to assist in the affairs of the palace. ”
Mama Huang thought for a moment before reminding in a low voice.
"When the time comes, find an excuse and check on the palace maids."
Murong Hui felt that the person who would wear this red tassel must be a palace maid, so she locked the murderer on the palace maid.
"Your Highness thinks too simply, there are everyone in this palace, and it may not be only the palace maid with tassels."
At this time, Mama Zhang on the side suddenly spoke, and her expression revealed a little strangeness.
Mama Huang pushed her, and she hurriedly shut up, knowing that she had just said too much.
"Anyway, let's think of a way together, and we can always come up with ideas to dig out this murderer."
Murong Hui sighed, and then said helplessly.
Mama Huang and Mama Zhang nodded and looked at each other helplessly.
Murong Hui touched her chin, racked her brains and thought about it, and then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "It's time to make spring clothes, let's start from this point." ”
Mama Huang nodded, thinking that this was indeed a good idea, when making new clothes, you should measure the size of the palace maid, and let the people of the Shangfu Bureau pay attention to it, and they will definitely be able to find out.
"Don't startle the snake, find someone you can trust to mention this, if the murderer knows, then she will definitely hide it deeper."
Murong Hui saw Mama Huang say this, and immediately added.
"Your Highness, the old slave also specially asked people to check this matter, it is relatively remote over there, so there are not many people who go, there are only three people in total who have been there that day, and one of them is Qinglan."
Mama Zhang came over at this time and added that she had asked someone who was more familiar with the imperial dining room to inquire about the news.
"Who are the other two?"
Murong Hui immediately asked nervously, there must be one of these three people, or two of them are murderers.
"The people in the imperial dining room said that except for Qinglan, who was one of the palace maids in the worship room, the other eunuch didn't know where he came from, but neither of them had red tassels on them."
Mama Zhang thought about it carefully, and then said affirmatively.
After Murong Hui heard this, she couldn't help but wonder a little, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone in the Jingshi room to kill Qinglan.
Because Jingshifang is Murong Jun's people, they have no reason to do this, so the only one who will do this is the eunuch.
"You go find the person who has seen them again, take Qingyan with you, and let her draw the portrait of the eunuch."
Since he couldn't find out his identity, he simply drew the person's appearance, so that sooner or later he could be found.
"The old slave will go and let someone do it."
Mama Zhang hurriedly asked Qingyan to leave with her, while she helped Murong Hui prepare dinner in the kitchen.
"If I find out who did it, I'm going to make her pay."
On weekdays, those people in the palace make some small moves to her, and she doesn't care at all, after all, they are all harmless things.
However, this time it was different, and there was a fatality, and she would never let the murderer go easily.
"Your Highness doesn't need to move, now that there are clues, it's only a matter of time before she is found."
Mama Huang saw that Murong Hui was still thinking about it, so she hurriedly reminded her.
Murong Hui came to her senses at this time, she felt that she had thought too much about this time, so she wanted to practice more calligraphy to calm her mood.
She practiced calligraphy for an hour, and was called out for dinner by Mama Zhang.
As soon as she sat at the table, she saw the little palace maid walk in as soon as she moved her chopsticks, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Miss Gao and Miss Xu are here to see you." ”
Murong Hui was a little strange, it was already dark outside, and they were almost resting at half of the hour, why did they suddenly run over?
"Invite them in."
She put down her chopsticks and said to the palace maid.
After a while, I saw Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing walking in, both of them wearing cloaks, with frost on their faces, looking like they had been walking outside for a long time.
But in fact, Ningcui Palace is not far from the East Side Palace, and they can sit in a sedan chair at this hour, why are they so embarrassed?
"What's wrong with you?"
Murong Hui asked people to serve them soup and asked suspiciously.
Gao Ziyue seemed to be frozen hard, and drank a big mouthful of soup before laughing.
Murong Hui was a little confused by her laughter, but she was relieved.
If she can still laugh, it means that she came here at night, and it must not be because of something bad.
"Your Highness, I came here today to give you silver, this year's wine is selling well, you have won tens of thousands of taels of these three achievements, and you will have a treat tomorrow."
After Gao Ziyue finished laughing, she took out a purse from her pocket, which seemed to be stuffed with a lot of things.
Murong Hui opened the purse and saw a thick stack of silver tickets inside.
"Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense, we naturally can't let you break the bank."
Xu Qing shook her head, feeling that Gao Ziyue was afraid that her brain would be frozen today, and she didn't care about it at all when she spoke.
"It's okay, anyway, I don't have much chance to spend money on weekdays, and I'll cover all the expenses for tomorrow, so it's rare to go out, so naturally I have to have a good day."
Murong Hui shook her head, she didn't care, a few girls, and they went to a place like a temple, and it wouldn't cost a few silver to die.
"Where did you just go?"
Seeing that they refused to say what happened just now, Murong Hui simply asked.
She didn't have to inquire about the private affairs of the two, but just wanted to ask roughly, and if there was anything she could help, she would help.
"It's not the Xu family yet, I said that I wanted to send something to Sister Xu, so I accompanied her to wait in the upper study early, and waited for an hour and a half before the things were delivered, and I didn't eat dinner."
Gao Ziyue pursed her lips, she didn't want to complain about Xu Qing, she just felt that the Xu family was very inconsiderate.
Half of her family members would send her something if they wanted to send it to Ning Cui Palace.
You don't have to wait outside by yourself, and you're so unpunctual, you have to wait that long every time it arrives.
"It's troublesome to send things to the palace, and it's normal for them to delay some time, I said I don't need you to go with you, you still want to go."
Xu Qing didn't understand that this was just her stepmother's pretense, and even if she did, she didn't want her to feel better, so she deliberately delayed some time and asked her to wait a little longer.
It's just that she doesn't care about such a little difficulty, in her opinion, if her stepmother is willing to sprinkle all her anger on her and not embarrass her brother, she can still stand this anger.
"You can send a few palace maids to get things, why do you have to go by yourself, is it difficult or what matters?"
Murong Hui naturally didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked suspiciously.
"What's important, it's just some clothes, and the materials are very ordinary, and you can't wear them in the palace at all."
At the mention of this matter, Gao Ziyue rolled her eyes and said with disdain.
She naturally knew that this was Xu Qing's stepmother's handiwork, so she didn't want to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"I suddenly remembered that there are a few new horses this year, brightly colored materials, which are not convenient for me to use now, so you can bring them back and make a few spring clothes later."
asked the palace maid to get two more pairs of chopsticks for the two, and Murong Hui instructed Mama Huang to find clothes.
According to the princess's share, she can get eight horses of material every season, plus Lin Yingxue's gifts, and other concubines' gifts, she can receive at least more than 20 horses per season.
It's just that since it was sent by others, it is inevitable that there will be some things that do not suit your heart.
So she received six horses of all kinds of red cloth alone, and they happened to be given to them all for use.
Even if Gao Ziyue has a solid family background, Shu Jin's clothes are not often worn, so when she saw a few precious clothes sent by Murong Hui, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Murong Hui.
Xu Qing's eyes were even redder, since her mother died of illness, the people who cared about her the most in this world were the two in front of her.
She was a little moved in her heart, and the ice in her heart gradually melted.
The three of them had dinner together, Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing hurriedly left with the clothes, and Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the backs of the two of them leaving.
"Your Highness, with all due respect, you are so good to these two companions, and sometimes you can't be too sincere."
Mama Huang was afraid that Murong Hui's brain would be hot, and she would do something out of the ordinary for the sake of sisterhood, so she hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
"You don't know what your highness's character is, so you don't have to worry so much."
Mama Zhang waved her hand, and after ordering someone to serve all the food, she went to the kitchen to make snacks to eat at Xiangguo Temple tomorrow.
"Tomorrow I'm going to go to Mama Lin's place, and ask them to inquire if the good shop in the area is for sale, and I'm going to buy another one to rent out, which will also be an income in the future."
After seeing the people leave, Murong Hui raised her head and said to Mama Huang.
Mama Huang actually doesn't know why Murong Hui, who is a golden branch and jade leaf, likes to save assets for herself so much.
The princess's dowry is very rich, and both the emperor and the queen treat Murong Hui like their own daughters, and they will definitely not let her suffer in the future.
It's just that since Murong Hui has to do this, she naturally won't stop her, who would dislike her with more assets?
"What His Royal Highness said is very true, the old slave will also ask acquaintances outside the palace to help take a look, if there is a suitable Zhuangzi or shop, I will tell you back."
Mama Huang has always been a good person, and since Murong Hui has already said this, she naturally nodded in agreement.
"Then count the money today, and go and bring it all."
