Chapter 64: Huh

As soon as these words came out, the Yipinxiang people present were not too shocked, after all, the medicine given by this person was not an ordinary poison, it was the medicine in Liu Xi'er's blood, the person behind the scenes must be the nobles of the capital, and it was possible to come into contact with Liu Xi'er's blood when he was still in the palace that night, and there were few people left after the exclusion, and the person with the most motive to commit the crime and access to Liu Xi'er's blood was King Qi.

Don't forget, Liu Xi'er killed herself and dyed King Qi's robe red, which allowed King Qi to leave the palace with the medicine justifiably. A person with a taste of incense can think of refining medicine with blood, and King Qi may not be unexpected.

"Sure enough, it's him, I know that this is the handiwork of King Qi, dark and ruthless, and it is a painful way to come up." Jiang Xinyue held the hilt of the sword in her hand, and said that King Qi was a little disdainful.

"Since this is the case, then it is necessary to ask Steward Sun to go to Beijing to testify, and when the time comes, I may be able to spare you by making a confession." Ruan Mianmian looked very in a bad mood, and the corners of her mouth drooped, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"It's... Your Royal Highness the County Lord, this little matter is better to be handed over to the lower officials..."

"Huh." Before the county guard finished speaking, the frost condensed on Ruan Mianmian's face suddenly melted into tears and slid down his cheeks, Chu Chu was pitiful.

"The county lord forgives the sin, and the subordinate deserves to die! They all listen to the arrangement of the county lord. The county guard immediately took those officials to kneel down and salute, Ruan Mianmian cried nothing, but when this word spread, it changed its taste, in case he said that he was the lord of the power period, he would be speechless, not to mention that the county lord cried in front of him It was a fact.

Seeing that his approach had an effect, Ruan Mianmian did not procrastinate, wiped his tears and resumed his somewhat pitiful expression: "Since the county guard said that he would listen to the arrangement of the county lord, let him go back to Beijing with me to testify, rest assured, this person is confused and ungrateful for the lord for a while, and has nothing to do with other people in the county guard's mansion, and the county guard and several adults are all blinded." ”

Ruan Mianmian is also a combination of grace and power, and when he arrives, he will give them a reassurance, so as not to get along with him during the time he lives here, and also let the hearts of other officials relax.

Steward Sun, who was tied into a zongzi, was dragged down, and Ruan Mianmian also felt that he was a little tired after a day's play, so he got up from the chaise longue and took Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er's hands and entered his own room in the apse.

"Mianmian, what do you think about today's incident?" Jiang Xinyue poured her a cup of tea, and sat on the chair and reclined to look at her.

"What can you think, it's enough to bring everything that harms me to justice, after all, we are not really people who stay in the center of power, go back to the capital and open a restaurant, and don't care about other things." sighed, Ruan Mianmian had never felt that life was so tiring, even when she was a child, she was like a water in the orphanage, but after coming into contact with so many things, Fang Dacang left her and left, her heart was a little messy.

"The cannon thing... You really don't care? Liu Xin'er leaned over and said.

"I don't care, I don't care, although he is so far away from me, I know that he will come back, and he is going on an adventure for me, no matter how sad I am, I can't blame him for blaming him, just wait for him." Ruan Mianmian lowered his eyes and said wistfully: "If I were engaged to Sister Xiangyue and Brother Mu like Cannon, I wouldn't be as sorry as now, I still have three months to go." ”

"It doesn't matter, with his talent and wisdom, and the face of the king, it is estimated that he will be promoted back to Beijing in two years, and then I and Ruqing will hold a grand engagement for you, how about it?" Jiang Xinyue comforted.

"That's good, you and Brother Mu have a lot of money, and we rely on the two of you." Ruan Mianmian looked up and smiled.

After chatting a few more words, Liu Xin'er and Jiang Xinyue went back to their rooms together, leaving Ruan Mianmian alone and half-lying on the bed thinking about today's headaches. These things happened on the first day in Ruliang, it was really a bad mood, although this was her fiefdom, but she didn't want to stay any longer, and decided to discuss with Lu Gui tomorrow to discuss leaving for the capital.

Thinking about it, Ruan Mianmian also felt a little tired, and fell asleep with his clothes.

On the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, a few little girls with double buns carrying hot water towels and combing their hair with oil combs and grates for combing their hair slipped into the small flower hall outside Ruan Mianmian's room and waited, without even making a sound, which showed that they were trained.

Ruan Mianmian woke up at this time, her eyelashes fluttered lightly, she opened her eyes a few times, leaned up, raised her hand and gently pressed her temples, only to feel sore. She didn't sleep well here, although it was a brocade quilt and a large carved bed that was enough for her to sleep on, it was not as comfortable as her bed in the small room in the backyard of Yipinxiang.

The little girl who was waiting outside heard the sound inside, and immediately walked in with the objects in her hand, knelt in front of Ruan Mianmian's window and said respectfully: "Wan Fu, the county lord, the slaves and maids are waiting for you to wash and put on makeup." ”

"Huh?" Ruan Mianmian had just woken up, and he was still in a daze.

"The slaves and maids are waiting for you to wash and put on your makeup." The maidservants did not dare to raise their heads, but raised their voices and repeated again.

"Hmm... No need, go about your business, just put your things on the dressing table. Ruan Mianmian waved his hand, but the maids below were still kneeling and did not move.

There was a little maid with red velvet flowers, dressed and looking more delicate than ordinary maids, raised her head and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the county lord will let the slaves and maids serve, Your Highness has just come to Ruliang, and the slaves and maids can serve His Highness is a blessing for several lifetimes, if the slaves and maids go out, the county guard will blame the slaves and maids for neglecting His Highness." ”

Ruan Mianmian saw that this little maid was dressed up beautifully, she looked smart and beautiful, and she did not flinch when she talked to her master, thinking that her status was higher than that of ordinary maids, so she replied: "Okay, you can stay." ”

Ruan Mianmian got out of bed by himself, walked to the bronze mirror on the dressing table and sat down, and without the little maids stepping forward, he picked up a warm wet towel and cleaned his face, and personally disassembled his hair, picked up a horn comb and prepared to tie himself a simple bun.

The little maid who had just spoken stepped forward and took the hair comb: "County Lord, let's comb your hair." After that, he took a small porcelain bottle from the tray behind him, as if it was osmanthus head oil, and the fragrance was very strong. Gently uncork and open the mouth of the bottle, the strong smell of osmanthus quickly sprayed out, somehow Ruan Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable when he smelled it, and there was always a feeling of dizziness caused by an overly strong fragrance.

"What is this?" Ruan Mianmian covered her nose with her cuffs and frowned.

"Back to Your Highness, this is Ruliang's specialty osmanthus head oil, the aroma is strong and not easy to disperse, you have to use ten catties of osmanthus tweed to make such a small bottle of head oil, those ladies and ladies love to use this." As she spoke, the little maid poured the oil on her hand and was about to apply it to the comb.

Ruan Mianmian hurriedly stopped her: "I can't get used to this, it smells choking, just comb your hair, and take away the hair oil first." ”

The little maid was stunned for a moment, Fang came back to her senses and put down the head oil, but she was a little strange how could there be a woman who didn't like fragrance, thinking that it was because there were too many good things in the capital to look down on the objects here. She turned around again and combed Ruan Mianmian's hair, this time she didn't take anything else for Ruan Mianmian, she just used the comb to lose a flying fairy bun, and asked Ruan Mianmian to choose a few pieces of jewelry for her to bring, and then opened the makeup and wanted to put makeup on her.

"That's it, you don't need to use these, I'm not used to so much fat powder." Ruan Mianmian inspected the dazzling array of rouge powders in the makeup, but felt that it was useless.

"It's... But the slaves and maids are not good at serving, and if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive the county lord. The little maid was about to kneel down as she spoke, and the maids who followed her also bowed their knees.

"You're good, I'm not used to using these, okay, you're going to serve and you're done, go down." Ruan Mianmian yawned, stretched his waist, and ordered the maids to be evicted.

The little maids saw that Ruan Mianmian didn't leave her, so they took those things again, looked at each other and went down. Then I heard a voice outside: "Did you sleep, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Ruan Mianmian stood up, and saw Jiang Xinyue, Mu Ruqing, and Zhu En rarely coming to her together, the three of them were all dressed a little formally today, thinking about what kind of activity they were coming.

"Now that everyone is complete, what good things do you want to do together?"

"We're going to go to the barracks to comfort the families of the laborers and soldiers, should we go together?" Jiang Xinyue pinched the bun on the top of Ruan Mianmian's head and sighed: "Today's bun is exquisite, not like you combed it yourself." ”

"Naturally, I'm going, and when it comes to the barracks, I remember that I still have someone to look for." Ruan Mianmian chuckled: "It's better to bring some melons, fruits and fresh vegetables, it is inconvenient for them to eat these fresh things in the barracks." ”

"It's up to you." Jiang Xinyue smiled and pulled Ruan Mianmian to the door first.

The four of them walked to the screen at the door one after another, but saw Jiang Xinyue and Ruan Mianmian suddenly stand still and didn't leave, Jiang Xinyue also turned around and made a silent gesture, and the four of them stood behind the screen and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Hey, Xiaocui, I heard that the county lord's mother didn't need our hair oil this morning?" A crisp voice came.

"But no, not only does she not use hair oil, but she also refuses to put on makeup, don't you think it's strange?" Another maid whispered.

"Could it be that she found out that we had stolen her things? She only lived here for a few days, but the county guard sent someone to buy such a good thing for her, where can she use it up, if she doesn't change it for us, it will be put in the palace to ashes, it's a pity to think about it. ”

"How can it, haven't you heard that she only became the county lord last year, she was just a commoner in the past, these things can't be distinguished from good and bad, how can you find out, don't scare yourself, maybe you can get her reward before leaving after a few days of errands." This little maid spoke very disapprerovingly, but it made Ruan Mianmian hear that this was a well-behaved little maid who was just waiting in her hall to comb her hair.

It's just that I didn't expect people's temperament to be so unreal, they are well-behaved and smart in front of themselves, but they are secretly perverse behind their backs, and they are really not good people.
