Chapter 5: Framed
Although he accepted this satin because he was threatened, he heard that the golden silk hibiscus satin was very expensive, and after returning to the lower courtyard, Jiang Xi was still very happy. He thought he would cut off half of it and give it to his aunt, and sell the other half for some silver.
"I'm going to get rich."
She was so excited that she imagined how much money she could make, and Leng Buding was splashed with cold water by the blue sleeves who were folding clothes: "Although this satin is a good product, it is not worth a lot of money." ”
"Why, isn't the golden silk hibiscus satin every inch gold?"
"Because it's not a golden hibiscus satin at all," said the blue sleeves, "the one you didn't choose in the temple is." Golden silk hibiscus satin is not woven with gold wire, but woven from the silk thread swallowed by the golden silkworm once every three years. Its preciousness is mostly distributed by the tribute court to the concubines and princes of the palace. Because of the scarcity of golden silkworms, only the East Palace and today's concubines can enjoy the honor. ”
And so it was!
She lost a lot, and she really didn't know how to suffer a big loss.
Jiang Xi regretted in his heart, and looked at the blue sleeves with admiration: "You know a lot, it's amazing!" However, today, His Highness rewarded me with something, and you didn't accept it from me, so will he use the topic to make things difficult for me again? ”
It's okay not to mention it, but when I mentioned the blue sleeves, I was shocked, thinking left and right about what was wrong, it turned out that the reward was fake, and the temptation was real. If she really asked for a reward, she would definitely choose the real golden silk hibiscus satin, if it wasn't for the maid in the East Palace or the Guifei Palace, where would anyone really know this satin. Although she didn't ask for a reward for her prevarication today, this stupid girl chose ordinary silk.
Now there are only two possibilities, either Xiao Siyu is suspicious and disguised as this stupid girl and dissolves her identity. Or, I believe that this stupid girl really doesn't know good satin, so the suspicious reason still falls on herself.
The more Blue Sleeves thought about it, the more scared she became, and she felt that keeping this stupid girl by her side was in the way, last night she was groping to remember the terrain of the East Palace, and she was all disturbed. I thought it would be better to let her be a scapegoat, killing two birds with one stone.
With this plan, Bluesleeves began to have abdominal pain after nightfall.
She was sweating in the quilt, screaming in pain, and finally woke Jiang Xi up. Jiang Xi heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to her bedside with the candlestick, and found that she was pale and painful, and said nervously: "What's wrong with you, blue sleeves!" ”
"The problem brought out by the mother's womb may have been caused by a serious injury yesterday, Jiang Xi ...... I hurt so much. ”
She clenched Jiang Xi's arm as she spoke, her face full of pain, and tears kept flowing. Jiang Xi was frightened and said in a panic: "I'll go find my aunt in charge, you hold on." ”
"Don't!"
Blue Sleeves grabbed her and begged bitterly: "The most taboo thing for us to be slaves is to get sick and disturb the master, and you know Your Highness's temper, but I'm afraid of waking him up, and I'll lose my head before I die of pain." If you are willing to help me, take this prescription and help me run to the pharmacy in the side alley, and say...... Let's just say that the old disease of the blue sleeves has recurred, and I came to grab the medicine. ”
"Good, good! I'll go right away, you hold on! ”
Jiang Xi took the prescription, nodded again and again, took a thick jacket and went out. When she went out through the back door, she heard a nightingale chirping, and the moonlight was shining outside, and she wrapped her jacket tightly and carried the lantern and ran quickly in the direction of the side alley. When he arrived at the medicine shop, Jiang Xi knocked on the door a few times, and finally someone answered the door, "Who?" ”
Jiang Xi replied: "The old disease of the blue sleeves has recurred, come and grab the medicine." ”
It was quiet for a while, and then the door opened a crack, and out came a middle-aged man with a square face, a pair of eyes looked out a few times, and then stretched out his hand towards Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi immediately understood, took out the prescription and handed it to him.
The man looked at her a few times and told her, "I know, I will return to my mother." ”
"What mother, I'm here to grab medicine."
When Jiang Xi was confused, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps in the distance, and the man seemed to sense something to dodge back, but he was directly kicked into the house by a black shadow flying down from the eaves, fell to the ground, and when he was about to get up, he was already holding the long sword against his neck. Jiang Xi was so stunned that she didn't know what was happening, but she saw that there were many more sword-wielding guards around her, and the bright lanterns illuminated her nowhere to hide.
Xiao Siyu walked out from behind these guards slowly, and looked at her with a smile, "It turned out to be you." ”
