Xiao Qingqing went out of the palace in the afternoon, and Wei Yining and others sent him to the palace gate.

When he came back again, Wei Yining saw Aunt Chunhe standing behind a tree not far away, although she didn't come forward, she looked at her with her eyes and obviously had something to say.

Wei Yining then asked the county lord for instructions: "The county lord and Sister Lan Qi should go first, I want to go to Mu Zhi Pavilion to get two books back." ”

Wei Lanqi said: "You always like to read, beware of tired eyes." Or I'll go with you! ”

Wei Yining said: "Sister didn't say that she wanted to accompany the county lord to guess, don't delay." ”

Lord Duanmin is also a person who doesn't like to read, and he has a headache when he hears about reading, and says, "Then you come back quickly, and leave the book for the evening to read!" Hang out with us for a while. ”

Wei Yining agreed with a smile, glanced at Chunhe, and walked towards Mu Zhige.

Chunhe followed quietly, and the people in the cold palace could not easily come to the front, and they would be punished if they were seen.

Of course, Wei Yining knew this, so he deliberately found a very remote corner and stood still, here over a wall is the Imperial Garden, and then from the Imperial Garden, it will be to the Cold Palace.

"Miss Wei, thank you for exculpating me." Chunhe stepped forward and gave a deep salute.

"Auntie is polite, you are a kind and righteous person, Aunt Rounu has passed away for so many years, but you still remember her birthday." Wei Yining hugged Chunhe and said softly.

Chunhe was obviously very surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "How does Miss Wei know that today is Rounu's birthday?" ”

You must know that Rou Nu is just a maid of the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Yining was still young when she left the Wei family and entered the palace, but she is afraid that she has no memory, how can she remember this?

Wei Yining originally didn't know about the birthday of Rounu, but as for the sacrifice day, he was very clear.

The reason why she knew that today was Rounu's birthday was only because when she was in Lao Linghe, she had seen her father write an elegy on August 21.

There is a couplet embedded in the poem with the name of the rounu, and then combined with the actions of the spring lotus today, this is deduced.

It's just that she didn't want to explain too much to Chunhe, so she just smiled faintly.

"Is there anything else my aunt is looking for me?" Wei Yining asked: "You don't need to thank me, go back early, so as not to be seen." If there is any difficulty, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse. ”

Chunhe listened to Wei Yining's words, was very grateful, choked up a little, and said: "It's rare that the girl is so enthusiastic that she can still look down on us, who have been beaten into the cold palace." I didn't ask for anything, I just thought that since the girl helped me out of the siege, I can't be ungrateful, and the things you asked me about before have passed a long time, and some things are really impossible to remember. However, I still remember that the first few days before Rounu's suicide was very restless, and it seemed that she was hiding something. ”

Wei Yining couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Chunhe, think about it, why did she reveal a thing or two?" ”

Chunhe shook his head and said, "I naturally asked her at that time, but she didn't say anything anyway." At that time, the Queen Mother was sick, and we were all busy serving, and everyone was a little worried, so I didn't think too much about it at that time. But one thing is for sure, your father never entered the palace at that time, so it is unlikely that it had anything to do with it. ”

"What my aunt means is that Aunt Rounu committed suicide at the beginning, and she was not forced to die by my father as rumored by the outside world, but there is another hidden reason." Wei Yining naturally knew that her father was wronged, and she wanted to find out the truth of the year.

"I don't have any real evidence for this, and I don't dare to say nonsense. It was only later that the Queen Mother died, and the officials and nobles with titles entered the palace to mourn, and your father came to the palace. Chunhe said: "But at that time, Rounu committed suicide next to the coffin of the Queen Mother, and your father was indeed present, and he was the only one present. ”

Wei Yining listened to it and was silent, if someone wants to frame his father, he will naturally make a game. It is unknown whether others are involved, but as far as Ding's internal supervisor is concerned, he is in and out of the palace, so he naturally knows everything about the affairs in the palace, and he can bring people in by just passing a word.

But his father never shouted a word of injustice from beginning to end, which made Wei Yining puzzled.

What is it that makes my father willing to be falsely accused without refuting it? Was it because Wei Zongyong and the others had too big a bargaining chip to buy off Ding's internal prisoner, or did the people in the palace want to get rid of the slaves and push the boat along the water?

"That's all I know, girl." Chunhe said apologetically: "I think that I and Rounu were also sisters, and she didn't tell me at the time, there must be a reason not to say it." I've been out for a while, and I have to go back. ”

"Aunt Chunhe, thank you very much." Wei Yining said and withdrew a jade bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it into Chunhe's hand: "This bracelet is for you to keep a thought, and it can also be used as a pension guarantee in the future." ”

Chunhe didn't want to accept it, and was about to retreat, but when you heard someone coming over there, you couldn't help but panic.

"Auntie, don't panic, I'll help you to the wall, and you go over the wall." Wei Yining said and squatted down to support Chunhe's waist and lifted her up.

At this time, Chunhe didn't care much, and climbed over the wall, and there was no one in the imperial garden at this time, so she chose a remote path and walked back to the cold palace.

Wei Yining tidied up his clothes a little and walked out slowly, and the few people who came over there were Xu Zhixi and Sun Mingming and others.

I don't know who gave Xu Zhixi a snow-white pug, and several people were walking the dog to play.

When Xu Zhixi saw that Wei Yining was alone, he wanted to tease her, and said, "Qiqi, go up and bite her for me!" ”

Wei Yining naturally heard her words, and heard that she actually called this dog Qiqi, which was obviously an allusion to Wei Lanqi.

Sun Mingming was also acting for the tiger on the side, pointing at Wei Yining and saying to the dog: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”

Wei Yining didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned around and walked in the direction of Mu Zhige.

The little dog really ran a few steps forward and barked at Wei Yining a few times in a pretentious manner.

Xu Zhixi and the others laughed gloatingly, Wei Yining just turned his head and glanced at the dog, and the dog was immediately so frightened that he clamped his tail and ran back like a smoke.

Xu Zhixi hurriedly picked up the dog and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I think you have never seen such a vulgar person." ”

The dog trembled in her arms, and Xu Zhixi was about to say a few words of ridicule, and suddenly his face changed.

Sun Mingming hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong with Zhixi?" ”

At a glance, he saw that Xu Zhixi's clothes were dripping with yellow water, and he realized that the dog was actually scared to pee, and he urinated on Xu Zhixi's body.

"Useless dog thing!" Xu Zhixi was annoyed and angry: "Peel off its skin for me!" ”
