Chapter 272: Picking

Updated: >

After Lan Shikang left, Xie Danniang immediately waved away Qian'er and Yu'er, leaving Xiao Ruo alone in the bedroom to wait. Xie Danniang thought about what she had just said to Lan Shikang, and just thought that she could find a good excuse to hide it from the dumb girl.

When everyone was gone, Xiao Ruo still stood motionless, with a low eyebrow as if nothing had happened in this bedroom, and she didn't hear anything. It's just that the hands that were originally hanging in front of him are clenched into fists at the moment, and everything is just holding back.

"Dumb girl, this palace has something to say to you." Xie Danniang raised her eyebrows, looked at Xiao Ruo with a harmless smile and said.

Xiao Ruo never raised his head, but still stood respectfully in place and blessed his body, and said, "Slave and maid listen to you." "It's a courtesy that you can't fault at all.

"You are so far away, are you going to let the palace shout" The smile on Xie Danniang's face faded, and there was a trace of impatience in her voice.

Although Xiao Ruo's heart was turbulent at this time, his face was still not visible at all. Xie Danniang said so, and Xiao Ruo also took a few steps closer as she said.

"I think you just listened to what the emperor and the palace said, and now you must be resentful of the palace and the concubine. Concubine Shu did follow your invitation that day and sent Le'er's mother and daughter out of the palace. You've seen them before, and you don't want to treat them at a loss if you want to come to Concubine Shu, and you haven't let anyone punish them at all. Now, the emperor has found out about Le Erniang's disappearance, and the palace can't do it, so he can only think of a way to hide it first. Do you understand the painstaking work of this palace" Xie Danniang looked at Xiao Ruo's expression carefully, with an inquiring look.

Xiao Ruo raised his head slowly, his eyes were clear, he pursed his lips slightly, and said respectfully: "What the imperial concubine said, the slave doesn't dare not believe it." It's just that Le'er went out of the palace in the same carriage with her mother, and I don't know why the emperor said that she was just executed not long ago."

Xie Danniang wanted to dispel the doubts in Xiao Ruo's heart, so she naturally thought of countermeasures: "The emperor sent the commander of the Praetorian Guard to get people that day, and the palace naturally can't help but give it." But at that time, Le'er and her mother were saying goodbye to you, even if the palace wanted to hand over Le'er to them, they couldn't. Coincidentally, a slave was seriously ill that day, and she was about to return to the West Heaven in a few days. ”

Xie Danniang only thought that her countermeasure was seamless, but she didn't know that it was really stupid. If it was on weekdays, the disappearance of a person in Lanxiao Palace was nothing, maybe Xie Danniang said this, Xiao Ruo should have believed it.

But Lan Shikang just said that Zhang Gongcheng was checking the eunuchs and palace maids in each palace. They can find that there is one less Le'er Niang, how can they not find the one who is stiffened by Li Daitao

Then, after she met Le'er's mother and daughter, something happened that she didn't know

Xiao Ruo understood that Concubine Shu and Xie Danniang acted like this, just to ask her to be loyal, she was just a sharp sword in the eyes of the two of them, and she could kill everyone who stood in front of Xie Danniang for them.

A mocking smile rose slightly on her face, and she didn't know if she was mocking herself or mocking Xie Danniang: "Since it is the master of the imperial concubine, I don't know who the surname of the woman who was sent by the impostor was, where she used to serve in the Lanxiao Palace, although she was destined for a short time, but she died in vain for Le'er." Now it is impossible for Le'er to return to the palace, and the slave maid thinks that it is to burn some valuable money for her, so as to ask for peace of mind. Besides, Gonggong Zhang was still checking the number of palace maids, and said that the imperial concubine Niangniang wanted to send someone to the list of the Internal Affairs Office to erase that person's name. ”

This matter is fundamentally her own fault, she thought too simply, she was originally entrusted to the big, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Shu always had a way to send the two little-known palace maids out of the palace, she would not have been so ruthless to pull Le'er into this troubled water, and even if she wanted to stop later, she couldn't stop.

She thought that she had been perfect, but unexpectedly, Baimi still had a sparseness. The person who intended to murder the prince naturally had to be handed over to Xie Danniang to deal with personally, but unexpectedly, Lan Shikang actually ordered someone to carry Le'er away; If this is the case, it will be fine, as soon as the queen died, Lan Shikang asked people to check the female eunuchs of the palace, and did not give them a chance to breathe at all.

Whether it was Concubine Shu who knew what Lan Shikang had instructed Gonggong Zhang to do, or whether Concubine Shu didn't plan to let go of Le Er from the beginning, it was she who harmed their mother and daughter, she naively thought that Concubine Shu would help her save Le'er's mother and daughter for the sake of her usefulness.

Xie Danniang looked at the mocking look on Xiao Ruo's face, and after being stunned for a moment, she understood the meaning of Xiao Ruo's words. Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Xie Danniang was indeed a little annoyed, but what made her even more angry was Xiao Ruo's next words.

"The imperial concubine and the lady concubine are noble, and they can decide to impersonate people at will without being discovered. That being the case, why let the Le Er Niang, who had nothing to do with it, accompany her daughter to the underworld, and why did she readily respond to the slave's words at the beginning. If the slave had known that there would be such a day, she would not have let the two of them die in vain. Xiao Ruo really regretted it, she should have understood, but she believed what the lady said.

No, it's no wonder to everyone, but to blame her for being selfish, selfishly wanting to gain the trust of Xie Danniang and Concubine Shu; selfishly wants to use Le'er as bait to lure the queen into being fooled, selfishly thinking that she can achieve her goals in this way and will not hurt Le'er. At this time, she understood that her selfishness killed Le'er's mother and daughter, and it was she who paved a road to the underworld and lured Le'er's mother and daughter to go to that road.

"Bold and cheap" Xie Danniang's face was full of anger, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Ruo and scolded: "You are just a pariah from the palace that the emperor has collected from the people to serve, and you are actually speaking wild words to the palace here." What should this palace and Concubine Shu do, is it difficult to ask you if you can't say that it is the palace maid in this palace, it is you, this palace wants to kill it, can anyone stand up for you to say a word in vain Concubine Shu appreciates you so much, but you are useless, but you are a palace maid who is closer, you still want to do the opposite"

Listening to Xie Danniang's words, Xiao Ruo was stunned for a long time: Yes, she is just a palace maid who has just entered the palace, and she has been relying on Xie Danniang's snort to live for a long time, and she has gained so much dignity. Now that the antidote has been sent, I believe that the master will send someone to send the news in soon. Since she can't get out of the palace, she has to wait for them here, and find a way to cooperate with them inside and out, is it possible that she will offend her food and clothing parents now, and end up with Le'er's mother and daughter

She is unwilling, but what can she do if she is unwilling, can she still kill Xie Danniang like killing Jiang Ruyue now, even if she can really do it so as not to make Lan Shikang suspicious of her, but there is no owner in the harem, how should she gain a foothold

Xiao Ruo didn't thank Danniang, and two lines of tears fell. There are too many things in the world that are involuntary, there are too many helpless things, she didn't want to hurt others, but she never wanted perfection. If Le'er and her mother knew that everything was done by her, how would they hate her and regret knowing her

At this moment, the footsteps of several people were heard outside the dormitory. Concubine Shu originally heard that Lan Shikang came to visit Xie Danniang, so she came to take a look. I thought that Xie Danniang should be radiant, but I didn't know that the atmosphere in the palace was thick, Xie Danniang's face was even more angry, and Xiao Ruo on the side closed her eyes and looked up to the sky and cried.

"What's wrong" Feeling that something was wrong, Concubine Shu waved away the palace maid and eunuch who followed behind her, walked to Xie Danniang's side and asked softly.

"Auntie, this dumb girl is too presumptuous, the palace maid and her mother will die when they die, and she still thinks that she can't be wronged because the palace is too indulgent in her on weekdays, and now she doesn't even know the most basic dignity, how can such a person be loyal to the palace" Xie Danniang shouted quite angrily.

If she said just now, Xiao Ruo still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that everything would be wrong for her, and Le'er's mother and daughter had already left the palace as she thought. At this moment, Xie Danniang's words completely threw her into the cold pool, and a cold air penetrated the top of her head from the soles of her feet.

Concubine Shu never thought that this matter would be revealed so quickly, the difference on her face flashed, and she thought about how to appease Xiao Ruo: "Child, you should know that some things are done according to the sky, the death of the queen, and the death of Le'er's mother and daughter." Although this palace has the intention to save them, but unexpectedly, things have changed, and it is really not that this palace and the imperial concubine have deliberately failed your trust. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Shu stepped forward, patted Xiao Ruo's hand, and said, "This palace knows that your heart is excellent, otherwise you wouldn't be so sad for them." The imperial concubine may have said something serious, but it was only because she saw that you were so uncompetitive that she had what she just said. People cannot be resurrected after death, and it is true that the mourning and change are true. Okay, look at the tears on your face, go down and wash yourself first, don't let others see the joke. ”

Xiao Ruo didn't have the strength to say anything anymore, and he didn't know what to say. It may be good for her to resent Xie Danniang and Concubine Shu, but what she should resent the most should be herself. Gently reaching out to wipe the tears from his face, and sighing, Xiao Ruo turned around and walked towards the door.

"Auntie, she already knows, so we won't use her anymore, so let's end it as soon as possible, in case there are too many dreams at night." Xie Danniang frowned, looked at Concubine Shu and said. If it weren't for the mute girl who knew too much, she would have ordered someone to kill such people who didn't understand the rules

Concubine Shu squinted her eyes and thought for a long time, before she said softly: "Although the emperor can't find the handle, he has never let go of his suspicions. This mute girl must die sooner or later, but now it is not worth risking it for her to attract the attention of the emperor. ”
