Chapter 304: Eyeliner

After Zhao finished speaking, Xiao Xuan smiled in his heart, and bowed to her on his knees.

"Princess, don't break me." Zhao was taken aback by Xiao Xuan's sudden movements, and hurriedly stepped forward to reach out to help Xiao Xuan. "Okay, what is this doing?"

"Although I am a princess, the sixth sister-in-law is also the status of the princess, and my line of work is only half courtesy, and the sixth sister-in-law can still bear it." Xiao Xuan got up and stood up, took Zhao's hand and said. "Today, I won't bother the sixth sister-in-law anymore and leave first."

Because Yue Ying drew the portraits of those eyeliners, the Zhao family first ordered the guards in the palace to come over to receive the order, and asked them to guard all the large and small exits of the Yiwang Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. He also sent his own maids to lead a dozen servants to find the eyeliner one by one according to the portraits drawn by Yue Ying, gagged their mouths, tied their hands, locked them in a small room, and guarded them closely.

After Xiao Jun returned home in the evening, Zhao told him about it as soon as possible.

Under severe torture, Xiao Jun also learned from the mouths of those eyeliners that an eyeliner was placed on Xiao Yu's house. Xiao Jun did not delay his efforts, and after ordering his subordinates to dispose of those eyeliners, he rode out of the mansion and rushed to Xiao Yu's mansion to tell Xiao Yu about the matter.

For this reason, when the steward of Xiao Jin's mansion also tried to contact those eyeliners in the same way as the original contact with those eyeliners, the news released was like a stone sinking into the sea, and all the eyeliners seemed to have become kites with broken threads overnight, and they disappeared like nowhere to be found.

When the steward received this bad news from the people he had sent out, the steward, who had been reprimanded with thirty canes and could only lie on the bed to recuperate, suddenly felt that his body was half cold.

Originally, because he didn't pay attention to the events of the spring night, he had already been punished with thirty rods.

Now that the eyeliner I am responsible for contacting has all been damaged overnight, I am afraid that I don't know how I will be sent down, and now I really don't know if I can save my little life.

Concubine Liao was timid, and after knowing that Xiao Jin had beaten two maids to death with a cane in her courtyard, she came to the courtyard of the princess of the county Hu clan with trepidation.

During the day, the children of Hu and Concubine Liao all read and read in the school set up in the mansion, because the children are still young and learn some very basic things.

After Concubine Liao waited outside the courtyard for a while, Xiangdong heard the news and rushed to welcome her into the courtyard.

When Xiangdong brought Concubine Liao to Hu's side, Concubine Liao found that Hu had someone install an embroidery frame and put it in the courtyard, and Hu was twisting an embroidery needle with red embroidery thread to embroider a blooming begonia.

"The concubine has seen the princess of the county." Concubine Liao walked to Hu's side, lest she disturb Hu's, so she only whispered hello. "Doesn't the princess of the county know what is happening in the front yard of the princess?"

"Oh, so you're here." Hu Shi raised his head when he heard the voice, and when she saw that the person who came was Concubine Liao, she immediately asked Xiangdong to move a stool for Concubine Liao. "You see that it has rained for more than ten days in this imperial capital, and it is rare for the heavenly palace to be beautiful and sunny today, you can sit down quickly and see how my begonia is embroidered?"

Hu invited Concubine Liao to sit down, and asked Xiangdong to serve tea to Concubine Liao.

But where does Concubine Liao have the heart to comment on Hu's embroidered begonias, she almost became the ghost of Xiao Jin's sword back then, Concubine Liao doesn't need to see Xiao Jin's face now, just think about his face in her mind, and the whole person will be scared.

Concubine Liao didn't know what sensitive things had happened in Xiao Jin's front yard recently, a few days ago, the Hu family spread the word that she should restrain the people in the courtyard, but Concubine Liao didn't know why, but she still obeyed Hu's words.

But late yesterday, I heard that after Xiao Jin went out, there was a commotion in the front yard, and two lives were lost. Xiang Dong came to his courtyard to spread the word, saying that the Hu family asked Concubine Liao to send someone to collect the corpses of the two innocent maids who had lost their lives.

Concubine Liao still didn't ask the reason, but just sent someone to do the matter according to Hu's instructions.

However, Concubine Liao had a nightmare that night, and had no choice but to stay up until dawn with her eyes open. During the day, she sent her sister to study in the middle school hall, and Concubine Liao hesitated in her room before she made up her mind to come to the Hu family to ask about the situation.

"No, the princess of the county ordered me to do things last night, that is, I knew that the princess of the county had a seizure in the front yard and killed someone." Concubine Liao said worriedly. "The order of the princess a few days ago seems to have been planned for yesterday's events a long time ago."

"I know you're timid now, so I didn't tell you too clearly, for fear of frightening you." Hu Shi put down the needle in his hand, and Hu Shi saw the black blue under Concubine Liao's eyes, and knew that she must not have slept well last night, and said with a smile. "Look at you, didn't you rest last night?"

"Anyway, those are two living lives, where can I sleep well." Concubine Liao now thinks back to the scene when she almost died under Xiao Jin's long sword, and she still feels that her heart palpitations are terrifying. "Besides, the king of the county will not make such a disturbance for no reason, there must be something going on outside."

"Hey, since you're here today, I'll talk to you a few words." Hu Shi waved his hand, and Xiangdong retreated away with the surrounding maids, and Xiangdong was responsible for guarding the gate of the courtyard. "When I am for the good of you and my sister, I won't tell you the specific reason. You just remember that you don't know anything that happened to the county king or me in the county king's mansion. The front yard of the county king wants to be managed by you and me, and my yard is also managed by myself, and you are only responsible for managing other daily sundries in the county king's mansion. Even if the prince asks you later why you sent someone to collect the corpses of the two maids, you only have to answer that you are following my orders. ”

"Princess Jun, what's going on?" Since the Hu family handed over the management of the inner courtyard of the county palace to Concubine Liao, every time they met the Hu family in front of Concubine Liao, they always looked very lazy, but just now Hu's words were dignified, but Concubine Liao was timid but also felt that something was wrong. "If it was just a trivial matter, the princess would never talk like this."

"You and your sister are weak and sensitive, and knowing too much about this matter is not good for you." Hu gritted his teeth and still decided to keep silent about the reason. "I'm still the same sentence, just when you don't know anything, you came to my yard early this morning and just sat idle in the courtyard and had nothing to do, and came to me to gossip and chat, you know?"

"Yes, the concubine knows." Concubine Liao knew that Hu Shi's words had come to this, and no matter how much she asked, she probably wouldn't be able to ask anything. "Don't worry, the princess of the county can't help the princess of the county, and she won't cause any trouble to the princess."

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, why are you so prepared?" Hu Shi joked with her cheerfully. "I'm not good at these female workers since I was a boudoir, but I heard that your craftsmanship is good, come and help me see, how am I doing now?"

"The concubine doesn't deserve such praise from the princess of the county." Concubine Liao had no choice but to echo Hu Shi's words and leaned over.

Hu and Concubine Liao really didn't continue the conversation just now, Hu embroidered a few stitches and couldn't bear it, and finally simply gave up his seat to Concubine Liao.

Hu asked people to bring him a chaise longue to put aside, and after handing over the embroidery frame to Concubine Liao, he walked to the chaise longue to rest.

Things were just as the Hu family and Concubine Liao were faintly worried in their hearts, and after calming down, Xiao Jin really transferred his suspicions from his front yard to Hu and Concubine Liao.

Since beating Xiao Jin and Hu husband and wife, they didn't even bother to pretend to be polite on face, every time the husband and wife met as if they were enemies, Hu always spoke with a gun and a stick. Hu is his wife, and the maiden family behind her is the Liguo Mansion, and Xiao Jin has nothing to do with her, so he chose to come to Concubine Liao's courtyard first.

Concubine Liao now gets along well with the Hu family and is close, but when she can see Xiao Jin's face, she is not like the Hu family, but like a mouse seeing a cat, and her body can't help but tremble slightly when she speaks.

"Well, sit down and talk." Xiao Jin saw Concubine Liao looking like she was facing a great enemy, and she didn't bother to say anything about her, so she only sat down and replied. "Two days ago, I killed two maids in my yard, I heard that you asked people to stop the people in my front yard, took away the bodies of those two maids, and bought coffins to collect their bodies and release them to their families?"

Fortunately, the Hu family had already discussed with Concubine Liao about dealing with Xiao Jin's rhetoric in this matter, and Concubine Liao silently didn't know how many times she had practiced it in her heart, and now even in front of Xiao Jin, she could say that set of rhetoric very naturally.

"If the concubine returns to His Royal Highness, what the concubine does is actually just an errand from the princess of the county." Concubine Liao replied. "Those two maids were not assigned to the palace of the county king, but were bought from outside by the steward. Although they were ordered by His Highness to be scolded with a rod before they died, after all, there were family members from good people outside. The princess of the county was also for the sake of the princess's mansion, so she asked the concubine to send someone to collect the corpses for the two maids, and gave money to appease their families. ”

"Oh, is that what happened?" Xiao Jin's eyes swept over Concubine Liao, and said coldly. "Then hearing you say this, I have to thank the Hu family for considering it for me?"

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, the princess of the county is just a knife mouth and a tofu heart." Concubine Liao explained tremblingly. "But in the end, we are all people around the county king, where can we not consider His Highness?"
