Chapter 49: Tricks
As soon as he stepped into Yongle Palace, Xiaoru greeted him anxiously, and seemed to have something very important to say to Ziling.
In the future, before Xiaoru could speak, Zi Ling asked with a face: "Has the emperor been here?" When she asked, she regretted it herself—hadn't she just decided not to love him again? Why do you care that he hasn't come? Perhaps, he was still faintly expecting that he had just come to see her, but he couldn't find her, so he would go to Sitong Hospital.
Xiaoru shook her head and said, "The slave didn't hear the announcement, so she shouldn't have been here, right?" ”
Listening to Xiaoru's words, Ziling was slightly unhappy and couldn't help but feel lost, so he walked to the house dejectedly. Seeing Zi Ling turn around and enter the house, Xiao Ru wanted to chase after her, but Yu Nu hurriedly shook her head quietly, and then said softly: "Let's talk about anything after Niang Niang's dinner...... She's in a bad mood right now......"
Xiaoru stopped, handed the sachet he was holding in his hand to Yunu, and said so in Yunu's ear...... As Yu Nu listened, his face became more and more solemn......
After Zi Ling had dinner and finished freshening up, Xiao Ru and the jade slaves came to Zi Ling with solemn expressions, and saw that they looked like the sky was about to fall and the situation was urgent, Zi Ling couldn't help but joke to them: "Could it be that the sun doesn't rise in the morning tomorrow?" Otherwise, why do you look like that? ”
Hearing Ziling say this, Xiaoru couldn't help but have a sour nose, and couldn't help crying, she said with a crying voice: "Niangniang, the slave has something very important to report to you, I hope you don't feel sad or excited when you hear it......"
Before this "extremely important thing" was spoken, Xiaoru began to cry, could it be that it was some bad news? Could it be that something is going on at home? - Thinking like this, Zi Ling's heart was shocked, her whole body was cold, she quickly grabbed Xiaoru's hand and asked anxiously, "What is going on?" But something happened at home? ”
Xiao Ru looked at Zi Ling with teary eyes and shook her head gently.
"Then you should say it quickly! Can't you kill me in a hurry?! Zi Ling stomped her feet and urged her anxiously.
Xiaoru slowly took out a sachet from his arms and handed the sachet to Ziling. Zi Ling took the sachet and looked at it - it was just an ordinary sachet bag, with beige lilies embroidered on the light blue brocade, and there was nothing special about it.
"What is this?" Zi Ling asked puzzledly, "You should tell me what is extremely important!" What do you want to do with this sachet? ”
Even though she couldn't bear it in her heart, Yunu finally decided to muster up the courage to tell Zi Ling the truth, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Miss, this is the sachet that Xiaoru found behind the warm couch when she was cleaning the living room, and this sachet contains ...... Musk ......"
As if he was afraid that Ziling hadn't understood yet, Xiaoru looked at her, nodded and continued: "Musk, it will cause ...... of slippery tires."
Musk, slippery tires, warm couch ......
"But I lean on the warm couch where I read every day?" Zi Ling hurriedly asked.
"Yes!" Xiaoru nodded and said, "I found it in the crack in the wall behind the warm couch, this sachet is covered with a lot of dust, I'm afraid it has been there for a long time......
It's been there for a long time...... How long? Half a month? One month? Maybe earlier!
Zi Ling's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she hurriedly poured out the musk in the sachet, and the brown-yellow powder was spread on the ground, only a faint aroma.
"Isn't musk strong and long-lasting? Why does this musk smell so light? Zi Ling couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
The slave maid was also puzzled at first, so she took the sachet to the hospital and asked several doctors, who all said that it was musk! The slave maid also asked why the musk smell was so light, and the doctor said that it was not surprising, they had seen the musk with a light taste in the past. Xiaoru explained to Ziling - you know, if it wasn't determined that this was Musk, how could she, a little palace maid, dare to report like this in front of the concubine?
The soft couch, but the soft couch where she leans on reading books every day and occasionally takes a nap! No wonder she was restless and restless in those days, no wonder she was born prematurely for no reason, no wonder her child died at birth!
So, when did the sachet get stuffed into the crack in the wall behind the couch? Who is so vicious as to harm her children? How innocent her child was! He was destined to live in a conspiracy before he was even born, and he was buried by a conspiracy before he was born! How innocent her children are......
Thinking of the child who died young, Ziling couldn't help but burst into tears again. Originally, she had convinced herself that she would no longer indulge in endless grief; Originally, she had gradually forgotten the birth of the unprovoked meeting and the eternal death of yin and yang; Originally, she had slowly come to terms with the cruelty of losing her child. At this time, the heavens came to tell her that her child was killed?!
You say, how can she not be sad? How can it not hurt? How can you not hate?
Her heart trembled with hatred, and her eyes were filled with a raging flame that burned the world! Her heart was filled with anger and hatred, and yet, that anger had nowhere to vent, and that hatred had no one to bear. yes, who should she hate? Who was the man who killed her child?
Taking a slow breath, trying to calm the resentment in his heart, Zi Ling's voice trembled slightly and asked Yu Nu: "Yu Nu, I am from ...... When did you start to get restless? ”
"If the slave is not mistaken, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you began to feel restless after seeing the lady and the young lady." Yu Nu tried to think about it, and said slowly, "At first, the slave maid thought that the young lady had nightmares because she missed her family too much. ”
Not really! It was only after seeing her mother and sister-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival that Ziling began to feel restless!
So, was this musk sachet put in at that time? And who put it in? The mother and sister-in-law will definitely not harm themselves, so who else will it be...... That's right! Liu Ruxin! Liu Ruxin has been here!
During that time, she was grounded by Meng Hongyu, and no one was allowed to enter or leave Yongle Palace, so there were no idlers waiting to enter and leave Yongle Palace, let alone enter her living room! As for the palace maids and eunuchs of Yongle Palace, Zi Ling has loved them for so long, and they are also loyal to Zi Ling, so Zi Ling believes that it will not be done by the people in her palace.
What's more, if it was really the people in the Yongle Palace who wanted to harm her, they would have to do it in the early stages of her pregnancy, why wait until she was about to give birth to a full-term before starting, how could they not understand the truth of "quick victory"? Will it be more and more dangerous to drag things out longer and longer?
- It must have been Liu Ruxin's doing! Under the pretext of seeing Liu Ruyu, she was allowed to enter Yongle Palace and entered her living room. Otherwise, why would Liu Ruxin "miss" Liu Ruyu, who didn't have much affection, for no reason, and suddenly came to see her? Why did Liu Ruxin leave in such a hurry that day, and she didn't even say goodbye to herself? Why was Liu Ruxin so proud when she saw her frustrated appearance by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden that day?
The more Ziling thought about it, the more she felt that Liu Ruxin was the most suspicious!
