"Mom, Yan Rou was originally specially ordered by you to approach Ji Sarong to find out the truth, and now that she has died so miserably, you really never suspected that Ji Sarong did it?"

"It won't be her. My sister follows Ji Sarong day and night, and is most familiar with her body and footwork, she is delicate and weak, and her gait is floating, and she should not know the kung fu of the house. It's just a ruthless and domineering one, but it's just a straw bag with a strong heart. ”

The noisy voice of the woman in the room subsided for a minute, but she didn't hear Aunt Hua talk. The hallway was dark and silent, and all I could hear was my heartbeat that had grown from hearing the secrets

"Well, there are many mysteries about Yanrou's death, and although I am sad and sorry, I really have no clue, so I can only wait for the future to investigate. Now I'm only glad that you found it early, and you haven't been seen by outsiders, and others are just that, if it was Ling'er who saw the body in the courtyard that day, I really don't know how to explain it to that child......" After a long time, I heard Aunt Hua continue with palpitations, "Although Yanrou has no way to start, you have to keep an eye on the matter of the spies in the Prince's Mansion, although Zhao'er didn't see me the day before yesterday, he also left me a note, saying that if this matter is not investigated, the third prince is very likely to take the opportunity to attack the Lifu who is in charge of the Praetorian Guard in the capital." He told me again and again that you must keep your ears up and listen to this matter as much as possible. ”

"The young master commands, we should obey it." Everyone responded, "I wonder if he left any other clues for his mother in the note?" ”

"Zhao'er's note also said that the third prince broke into Lifu Daxing to question the master of the crime that day, although he didn't know who the spy was, but he learned her name in an anonymous letter." Aunt Hua's voice was very low but the words were true, "It's a woman, called Pei Shuiqing." ”

As if thousands of ice needles suddenly condensed in the air and pierced every inch of skin around my body, I covered my mouth to prevent myself from screaming, only to find that my chest was hollow, and the blood that seemed to be gushing up at the right time was instantly coagulated in my lungs.

Don't talk about screaming, even if you want to move your steps, you can't.

In the terrifying darkness of the corridor, which threatened to swallow people, I could only hear my heart beating wildly at the moment, spurting out the blood that was already frozen in the veins around me.

Dead.

"Girl, it's morning!" The mother-in-law who was waiting for the grooming pushed the door and let go of her voice and shouted, so startled that I convulsed and sat up, "Oh, why is it as cold as an ice cellar in this room, they didn't add charcoal to the girl last night......"

My mind was still drowsy, and when I lifted the curtains, I saw that it was already bright outside, and my aunt had set up the basin and stood in front of the dressing table waiting for me to get out of bed; Looking through the screen, you can also see that breakfast is all on the table outside, and the girls are bowing their heads to carefully arrange the dishes.

"Replying to the girl," the mother-in-law saw me stunned on the bed, and seemed to see my incomprehension, "the mistress heard this morning that the girl had gone upstairs last night to look for her old man, so she specially called the little one to inform the girl that she would come to have breakfast with the girl today." ”

Hearing this, my body couldn't help but feel a pang again, and every word I heard last night kept turning in my mind again - although it was a night, I still couldn't digest everything, why did Aunt Hua cultivate a person to be a spy in Taopinlou, and listen to the current affairs in the court and rivers and lakes for her? There was also a morning when I learned about the victimization of Xuan'er; Iron Mask disposes of the girl in the building; Design me to dislike Duan Ming; And also......

There is also the most unbelievable arrest of Shui Qing, who made me sleep all night.

Yes, I definitely didn't hear it wrong, the name of the Tail Sect spy who was arrested in the Prince's Mansion mentioned in Aunt Hua's Wen Zhaoxin was Pei Shuiqing. But... How so? Even if Shui Qing occupied someone else's body when she came to this world like me, and that person happened to be the tail sect spy who was dormant in the prince's mansion, after figuring out her identity, she should have escaped from the prince's mansion immediately, how could she stay so far, and be found out about her whereabouts and told the palace curtain? There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and now that I have received news from her, how should I act to save me from the hands of the palace curtain, the only best friend in this life who I haven't seen for a long time?

After thinking about it for a long time, it has been groomed and made up by the subordinates. Everyone retreated for less than half a moment, Aunt Hua happily called Ling'er into the house and held my hand, although I have long been accustomed to her warm intimacy in these days in Taopinlou, but last night's events haunted my heart, as soon as I thought of her secretly sending someone to inquire about intelligence and provoke Duan Ming, my heart will irrepressibly feel a cold fear and strangeness to the woman in front of me who is smiling with heavy makeup and smiling at me.

"What's going on today, is the food unappetizing?" Aunt Hua took a full view of my distraction, and sandwiched a Su Ri my favorite vegetarian bag for me, "I heard that the two rooms in the east wing on the fifth floor tossed one after another last night, I think it disturbed you and couldn't sleep peacefully, right?" ”

"-ah, no, it's just ......"

"No, you go to the mirror to take a look at the black green under your eyes," Aunt Hua's tone was full of distressed complaints, and she drank white fungus soup idly, "It's also that my aunt is not thoughtful, and I forgot that the building is not cleaner than before, so I was busy for a while, and then arranged another elegant place for you." ”

"Don't bother, I didn't sleep well last night, but it wasn't because of the East Chamber..."I explained nervously, looking at Aunt Hua's fox-like eyes for no reason, "It's really... I really have something else in my heart, I am entangled with myself, and I have nothing to do with others. ”

"Oh? What is so important that you are so concerned about it? Aunt Hua put down the spoon, "By the way, Ling'er heard from the people below that you went upstairs to look for me last night, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Ahh Last night...... "I was asked by Aunt Hua unexpectedly Last night, my heart became more and more uneasy, so I had to calm myself and said, "Yes, I accidentally learned about some things in the building last night, and Ji Sarong also has something to do with it, thinking that I really shouldn't hide it from Aunt Hua, so I wanted to go upstairs and talk to you, who expected you, you closed the building... I didn't have time to tell you. Last night, last night because of this incident, I lost my sleep. ”

"What should I be doing, it turned out to be this one." Aunt Hua smiled lightly, picked up the spoon and continued to eat the soup, "Ling'er, don't be afraid, I have heard about last night's incident, and all the people involved have been sent away this morning, and Miss Ji can be regarded as being rectified by you, so I don't need to punish it anymore." ”

I was slightly stunned, and I was a little caught off guard by Aunt Hua's confession: "Aunt Hua, how did you know about ......?"

"Silly girl, although my aunt has been busy in front these days, Taopinlou is also my furniture in the end, how can I not know about everyone acting and talking?" Aunt Hua smiled at me with great confidence, "As for the good thing that you broke Miss Ji in the side room last night, do you really think that no one in this huge building can hear your confrontation?" ”

"Aunt ...... Flowers"

"Although my aunt is old and frail, her ears are not too deaf, and the sound in the courtyard of her house can still be heard." Aunt Hua drank the soup in the cup, raised her head and continued to me, "Good boy, your words last night were very good, not only suppressed the pampered and arrogant master and evil slave, but also preserved the fair image of the aunt as the housewife in the hearts of the people below. I didn't expect my Ling'er to really grow up, and in the future, I don't need my aunt to pay attention to you in the dark. ”

"Aunt Hua has a good reputation, this time it was Na Ji Sarong who intentionally harmed others first, and I was caught on the spot, so I had to confess my guilt and ambush her. As for Ling'er, there really is no plan. "I bowed my brow, still maintaining a trace of humility." Needless to say, this kind of thing is hand-to-hand, but in other things, Ling'er also wants to say that people get along with each other and pay attention to a sincere fate, although in the eyes of Aunt Hua, I may still be a child, but Ling'er asks herself about the world, and her vision of treating people and things is still accurate. Take the rumors in the building a few days ago, that is, no matter how unbearable the rumors are, we should not really treat honest and honest good people as filth on the soles of our feet, and erase others at will to fulfill their so-called reputation. What's more, as long as you have a clear conscience, the rumors will eventually dissipate one day. Therefore, please let Aunt Hua allow more space for Ling'er in the future, so don't worry about my comings and goings. ”

Aunt Hua's face darkened with every word I spoke, until the last sentence landed, and she couldn't say a word to alleviate the embarrassment of the sudden silence in this room. Although I was also very worried in my heart, I no longer felt the suffocation and discomfort of this night, and I only felt that my breath was smooth and my mind seemed to be much clearer. After a long time, Aunt Hua took a deep breath and sighed again. She winked at me and said, "Yes, Aunt Hua asked herself... Sometimes, in order to protect you, it is indeed inevitable to worry more. It's just that even if the original intention is so, you shouldn't stretch your hand too long. Yes, it was Aunt Hua who was not thoughtful and acted improperly. In fact, there are some things that will make my aunt feel ashamed. It's also that people are getting older, and they forget that Ling'er Bingxue is smart, and many things can be solved by themselves. That's it, the previous things have no power to turn around, and Aunt Hua assures you that you won't interfere in the future. ”

The anger that had been stuck in my heart all night, and at this moment, listening to Aunt Hua's whispered words, it disappeared. I looked at Aunt Hua's lowered eyelids a little helplessly, she was indeed old, and she naturally couldn't see anything under her usual flying spirit, but at this moment, I noticed that I already knew the inside story of Duan Ming's departure, and I couldn't bear the heavy and gorgeous makeup anymore when I hung my head, and the obscure guilt seemed to overflow from my eyes, seeping into the fine and loose stripes at the corners of my eyes.
