The next day, the weather was fine, and early in the morning, the sun poured out, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be gilded.

Rong Yuan Hall.

Concubine Li sat on the main seat, Hua Ling sat in her lower left position, and Shang Kelan sat opposite Hua Ling.

The chairs of the side concubines, noble concubines and ordinary concubines are different, but today's Rong Yuan Hall is very quiet, and everyone looks at Shang Kelan with a bit of taboo.

Occasionally, someone whispered, also discussing the death of the calyx.

Hua Ling, like yesterday, was wearing a white daffodil silk pleated skirt, which looked very thin, if it weren't for a white fur collar draped outside, I was afraid that there would be no way to come out and walk in this winter.

Shang Kelan wore a short aqua blue jacket and a cloak of the same color, and held a heater in her hands.

Her eyebrows swept lightly, her lips were red without dotting, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she didn't raise her eyes to look at anyone deliberately, giving people a sense of elegance and gentleness.

Looking at Concubine Li again, she was wearing a wide red skirt as always, a purple mink coat on the outside, and gorgeous jewelry on her head, this kind of dress is very incomprehensible, worn on Concubine Li, but it does not look so weird.

Many people sitting in the back couldn't help but look at Shang Kelan curiously, and whispered:

"This Mo Wen is really capable, while acting so innocent and weak, he drowned the calyx in the lotus pond!"

"I heard that when the calyx's corpse was fished up this morning, it was all soaked! It's so pitiful, I don't look like a human anymore! ”

It's basically about calyx, but no one dares to really look at Shang Kelan.

Concubine Li's pair of hanging triangular eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Shang Kelan with an unknown meaning: "Don't ask the girl, did the calyx die because of you yesterday?" ”

Shang Kelan didn't react, only maintained her original posture, and said softly to Concubine Li: "Concubine Niangniang, yesterday's incident was just an accident, the calyx girl fell into the pool and drowned. ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Li laughed unabashedly: "Are you a fool to be a concubine?" A person as big as the calyx, it is impossible to fall into the lotus pond and drown for no reason, you were with her yesterday, but you didn't save her when she died, such a ruthless person, the back house of the prince's mansion can't accommodate it, come on, drag Mo Wen down, and the cane will be punished with forty boards! ”

Forty boards, even if Shang Kelan does not die, it will only be a situation of more gas out and less air intake.

Shang Kelan slowly raised her eyes, and a pair of dark and moist eyes looked at her without hesitation: "Concubine Niangniang, why don't you ask the steward to evaluate the reason before the execution?" His Royal Highness confessed and took good care of the people's daughters before, and the people's daughters were suddenly charged with this trumped-up crime by you, and they were really a little overwhelmed, I was afraid that if the forty boards went down, the people's girls would definitely die. ”

"You are calm, and you still know how to defend yourself at this time, but don't think that you can suppress the concubine by taking and managing things, tell you, the matter of this back house, and the person in charge of a front yard, he has no right to ask at all, you are just a concubine beside His Royal Highness, and the concubine will teach you a lesson, will it be difficult for His Highness to turn against the concubine?"

Concubine Li didn't beat around the bush, she said to Shang Kelan directly, and then waved her hand to the maid next to her without hesitation.

Suddenly, the two maidservants stepped forward to hold Shang Kelan left and right, as long as they used their strength, they could immediately take Shang Kelan away.

Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and what she said just now was clearly telling Concubine Li that she was Wei Jin's guest, not a woman in this back house, and Concubine Li had no right to dispose of herself, even if she wanted to torture herself, she had to ask Wei Jin first.

has such thoughts, not because Shang Kelan trusts Wei Jin, but because these women can only suppress them by taking out Wei Jin's name.

But Concubine Li didn't eat this, she didn't seem to be afraid of Wei Jin at all.

At this time, it is useless to struggle, it is better to take advantage of the large number of people now, create chaos and confuse the sight of the masters in the house, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape!

The white slender fingertips slowly clenched, and she silently stretched out one hand to her waist, where a dagger was hidden.

This dagger was brought to her by Toa Sheng when she was in the prince's mansion, so that it could be used for self-defense.

Suddenly, a voice as cold as a silver bell rang in the hall, temporarily interrupting Shang Kelan's movements.

I saw Hua Ling slowly look at Concubine Li, got up and curtsied to Concubine Li, and said respectfully: "Concubine Niangniang, yesterday the concubine was standing by the lotus pond with Miss Mo Wen, and the calyx was indeed accidentally lost and fell into the lotus pond and drowned. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Li's eyes narrowed and glanced at the two maidservants who were holding Shang Kelan.

Suddenly, the two maidservants let go of their hands and stood carefully behind.

Concubine Li's eyes turned and fell on Hua Ling, with a hint of anger in her tone: "What, look at what Hua Ling means, you seem to be defending this newcomer?" Doesn't this concubine even have the right to dispose of a newcomer? ”

Hua Ling's white face showed a light smile, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at Concubine Li, under her slender eyelashes, her eyes flashed a little darkly: "The concubine doesn't dare, it's just that the girl has only been in the house for a few days, and she has been beaten by you forty times, if the second highness knows, I am afraid that the second highness will be angry, and when the time comes, the relationship with you will be stiff, and it will be difficult for the concubine to explain." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Li showed a look of scruple on her face, but soon, she regained her composure and looked at Shang Kelan with a scrutinizing gaze again.

Her eyes were arrogant, and she looked at Shang Kelan contemptuously for a moment, and then Concubine Li took her eyes away from her and snorted coldly: "Count your fate, if Hua Ling intercedes for you, this concubine will spare you this time, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, your share of the concubine can't be lowered, so I will punish you to be a rough girl for three days, how, can you be convinced?" ”

Concubine Li blindly wanted to implicate the death of Calyx on herself, trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of herself, and Shang Kelan naturally would not compromise easily.

It's just that this Hua Ling will not help him repeatedly for no reason, if he refuses Concubine Li at this time, I am afraid that even if Hua Ling helps him intercede, Concubine Li will not be able to let herself go, right?

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a pause, she bent down slightly obediently, and saluted Concubine Li: "Thank you for the grace of Concubine Niangniang not to kill." ”

Except for Concubine Li, Hua Ling and Shang Kelan always look calm and calm when they speak, and they don't show any panic, which makes people suspect that they are just talking about life and death as child's play.

Concubine Li moved her eyes and waved her hand impatiently: "Since you are now a rough girl, then you go to Rongyuan Hall to guard, what to do, don't stand here and obstruct the eyes of this concubine!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Shang Kelan couldn't help but change again.

It's only been less than a quarter of an hour, and this Mo Wen has gone from a noble concubine to a rough girl, doesn't that mean that everyone present can bully her?
