Chapter 233 asked

Blue Baby's mood was not very good, and she was going to go to Youduwei in the rain, but she ran into Feng Wei before she left the house, and the other party obviously just came back.

"Brother Feng, you're back, where is Your Highness?" Baby Blue looked behind him in surprise, but there was only a mist of water woven by the drizzle.

"Are you so disappointed to see me?" Feng Wei slapped her shoulder dissatisfiedly, "I haven't been back for a few days, you know that I am thinking about Your Highness, my brother really hurts you in vain." ”

Blue Baby was already in a bad mood, so he didn't even bother to roll his eyes at this time, so he bypassed him and continued to walk outside.

"Alas, come back, are you going to go to Youduwei to find His Highness?" Feng Wei hurriedly pulled the person back, unfortunately wet one arm, shook his sleeves carelessly, and continued: "Don't go, Your Highness is not in Youduwei, I was summoned to the palace last night, and I haven't come out yet." ”

Blue Baby was startled, and held his hand and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Why was he detained in the palace? ”

"Don't be nervous, Big Brother Bai also followed, I heard that General Cheng is back, presumably to personally report to His Majesty about the affairs in the barracks." Feng Wei patted her shoulder and explained.

Blue Baby breathed a sigh of relief, "What the hell happened to the barracks in the south?" Can't you disclose it to the public? ”

Feng Wei snorted and motioned for her to go back first, "It's a matter of military secrets, and even I don't know very well." ”

After waiting in the palace for another day, before His Royal Highness came back, something happened to King Sheng's Mansion again.

"Are you saying that the concubine of King Sheng's Mansion also had an accident?" Before noon, the blue baby was sent by Feng Wei to hurriedly call Youduwei, and he was also confused at this time.

"Again?" Feng Wei looked at her strangely.

Lan Baobao was stunned, and only after a moment did he sigh with emotion: "This Shengwang Mansion is really a place of right and wrong, the matter of the side concubine was originally a family affair in their mansion, and I am not good at talking nonsense, but I always feel very strange about this series of accidents." Not long ago, the side concubine of King Sheng's Mansion hanged herself. ”

"There is still such a matter, when I went to the Shengwang Mansion to understand the situation just now, I didn't hear anyone mention it." Feng Wei shook his head in surprise.

"The princess has just died of illness, and if there is news that the concubine hanged herself, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion from the outside world." Lan Baobao said: "The timing of the concubine's self-hanging is also very intriguing, it is said that His Royal Highness King Sheng is about to make her a concubine, and she has an accident at this juncture, I have suspected that there is a problem before." ”

However, later the Shengwang Mansion did not express its position, and also concealed the matter of the side concubine, and it was not good for her to ask the east and the west to be nosy with just a little guess. In the final analysis, this is someone else's family matter, and it is inconvenient for others to get involved.

"Now that the position of the princess in King Sheng's mansion is vacant, I thought that according to King Sheng's virtues, I would definitely marry a beautiful wife with the right name, but I didn't expect that I wanted to help one up from the concubine's room." Feng Wei was amazed.

"Let's not mention this for now, what did you just say about that concubine?" Baby Blue pulls back to the point in time.

Feng Wei said: "I don't know if this Sheng Wangfu has fallen into some curse, last time the princess disappeared, and this time it was replaced by a concubine, won't she hide like the princess again?" ”

"After the death of the side concubine, the status of the concubine in the backyard is the highest, and it is also the most likely candidate to be corrected, and it happens to disappear at this time, which is too strange." Blue Baby said.

Feng Wei nodded and said: "Yes, although there is no prominent mother family behind this concubine, her father is also the capital water supervisor of Zhengwupin, in charge of river canals, Jinliang, embankments and other affairs, and he is also an important position in the court. ”

I didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Sheng usually ignored court affairs, but the wives and concubines he married were so powerful, no wonder His Majesty was jealous of him, and I don't know if this person has other thoughts.

The blue baby shook his head, waved away the messy thoughts in his mind, and asked, "When did the concubine disappear?" ”

"Yesterday. It is said that this concubine has a very cold temperament, does not fight or rob in the palace, and is very indifferent to fame and fortune. Moreover, the concubine believed in Buddhism, not only set up a small Buddha hall in her own courtyard, but also often went to various temples to add incense to the Buddha, and discussed Buddhism with the masters in the temple, and returned every time it was dark. ”

Feng Wei paused, and then said: "But this time I didn't return to the house the next day, so the housekeeper ordered someone to go to the temple to inquire about the situation, but I learned that the concubine had left as early as yesterday afternoon. Probably because there have been too many things in King Sheng's Mansion recently, the housekeeper didn't dare to delay, and after asking King Sheng for help, he asked for help from our Youduwei. And no outsiders know about this matter, so we need to keep it secret, and I called you here to let you paint a portrait of the concubine. ”

This concubine Blue Baby once had a relationship, but after too long, she couldn't remember the other party's appearance, she only remembered that her eyes were calm and calm like a pool of stagnant water.

"Okay, I'll go to King Sheng's Mansion now." Baby Blue patted the small bag she was carrying, which contained the tools she needed to survive.

"Now that His Royal Highness and Big Brother Bai are not here, I have to stay and preside over the overall situation, so I can't accompany you this time." Feng Wei patted her shoulder and explained.

"I understand." Baby Blue smiled.

Because of Jin Feiyu, the people in King Sheng's Mansion were very polite to Lan Baobao, and took her to Xiao Shizi's courtyard without asking.

The blue baby is very helpless, but since he has already come, let's say hello to the children first.

"You're here for the concubine's affairs, right?" Mama Huai happened to be in the courtyard to order the people to do things, and when she saw the blue baby appear, she was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly greeted her, "It's just right, you help the old slave persuade Xiao Shizi, he has been locking himself in the dormitory, and no one wants to come out." ”

"What's wrong with him? How long have you been hiding in the dormitory? Have you ever eaten? Blue Baby asked worriedly, with a look of surprise on his face.

"It's been a few days, probably since the last time you sent him back, and it was fine that night, but the next night it became weird." Mama Huai sighed, and said while leading the way: "Fortunately, Xiao Shizi is just hiding and making trouble, and his diet and daily life are normal." ”

Hearing her say this, Lan Baobao nodded reassuringly, thinking that this little guy wouldn't still be drilling for the affairs of the side concubine, right?

Thinking that they had come to the door of the dormitory, the blue baby knocked lightly on the door and called softly: "Xiao Yu, it's me, I'm here to see you." ”

The hall was quiet for a moment, and then there was a sound of footsteps, listening to it getting closer and closer, Mama Huai greeted the blue baby first, and retreated first.

Lan Baobao was watching the figure of Mama Huai leaving, and the door of the temple in front of him was opened, and he quickly turned his head, and saw a small head coming out of it, and looked at Lan Baobao listlessly, making sure that she would let people in later.

Blue Baby shook his head helplessly, rubbed the top of the little guy's head casually, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Jin Feiyu's bedroom is still the same as before, the floor is solemn, whether it is in terms of color or style, it looks like a simple old man's residence, and there is no trace of childlike fun.

Blue Baby couldn't help but shake her head again, but fortunately the place was very neatly cleaned, and there was no sense of decadence as she imagined.

Jin Feiyu followed and threw himself into the chair and looked at the blue baby.

Blue Baby was also not polite, sat next to him, and asked again: "What's wrong with you, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Brother Bao......" Jin Feiyu looked at her and stopped, as if she was ashamed to speak, and her eyes vaguely exuded a trace of resentment and humiliation.

Lan Baobao didn't look like he looked like he was because of the side concubine, so he encouraged softly: "Xiao Yu, do you believe me?" No matter what happens, I will be on your side, and as a friend, whether it is to listen to you or solve your doubts, I am duty-bound. And don't worry, if it is not necessary, our conversation in our hearts today will not be known to a third person. ”

Jin Feiyu really showed a touching expression, and nodded vigorously after a moment, "I believe in Brother Bao the most." ”

That day, Jin Feiyu had been very worried because of the matter of the concubine hanging herself, and although she was persuaded by the blue baby later, she was pricked in her heart.

He wanted to ignore it, and he made a nonchalant appearance, but in the end, he was shocked by an overheard word and hid in his dormitory.

Recently, the Shengwang Mansion is also an eventful autumn, after the side concubine hanged herself, the Sheng King did not hold a funeral for the side concubine in order to maintain the reputation of the palace.

It just so happened that the Shang family, the mother of the side concubine, was not in the capital, but it was a small thorn in Danlu City in the east, and if it wasn't for King Sheng's help, their family would not have been able to sit in this position.

Therefore, the Shang family has always been jealous and awe-inspiring to His Royal Highness King Sheng, and it is inevitable to be sad and sad when they hear the bad news of their daughter's death, but they are not like the original Hou Mansion, showing their dissatisfaction and anger in person.

At the same time, in order to calm things down, King Sheng promised a lot of benefits to the Shang family in the letter, and on the surface, he attributed these to the merits of the side concubine, which can be regarded as selling the Shang family's face.

After that, the Shang family agreed to take the side concubine back to her hometown and bury it quietly, although it was not in accordance with the etiquette law, but now that everyone is dead, the people who are alive always have to consider the future rise and fall of the family.

In order to show his respect for the side concubine, King Sheng specially ordered the children and daughters of the family to keep a night vigil for him on the first night when the side concubine was taken away.

As a concubine, Jin Feiyu didn't have to go to guard the soul of a concubine, but he thought that he had cursed the concubine in his heart because of his own selfishness before, and he was very uneasy, so he took the initiative to kneel, which could be regarded as atoning for his previous disrespect.

Besides, he was the only boy in this house, so he would not be stopped if he had to go to the vigil.

That night, he didn't let Mama Huai accompany him, and rushed to the mourning hall alone, and no one else knew that the prince would come, so he didn't stop talking, especially a few idle concubines, who were reluctant to come over to guard the spirit, and couldn't help but gossip when they got together at this time.

Unexpectedly, their gossip and complaints with subjective emotions were listened to by Xiao Shizi, who rushed over.

"I hadn't been inside yet, so they didn't know I was outside, and I almost broke in to get them a reason after they said. But when I thought that it was the mourning hall of the side concubine, I put up with it. Jin Feiyu said aggrievedly.

"What did they say?" It makes you so angry.

Jin Feiyu clenched his fists, a wisp of forbearance pain burst out of his bright eyes, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "They said...... At the beginning, it was the side concubine who was harmed by the mother who slipped the baby, and because of this incident, the side concubine has been depressed, and her body is not as good as before. This time, the side concubine Niangniang hanged herself, and she was also affected by this incident, and they all felt that it was the mother concubine who indirectly forced the side concubine Niangniang to death. ”

Jin Feiyu excitedly held the hand of the blue baby, trying to seek her approval, "They're all nonsense, aren't they?" A kind-hearted person like my mother would never do such a thing, I don't believe what they say. ”
