Chapter 46: Silk Flower Hairpin

The two of them were still stiff-mouthed at first, saying that they hadn't done anything, and Pan Zhenan was not in a hurry, he poured another cup of tea, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

Later, one of them couldn't hold it anymore and sat down on his knees and collapsed on the ground, his legs and stomach shaking.

"Father-in-law Pan, the little one will tell you everything!"

Another person couldn't hold back when he heard him say this, "Pan Gonggong believes in the little ones, the little ones must tell the truth!" ”

"It's good to open it if you want to." Pan Zhenan smiled sinisterly, "If you think about something, if I know who you have wronged, I won't be comfortable." ”

"Father-in-law Pan, don't worry, even if you borrow a hundred small dares, I won't dare to lie to you!"

Pan Zhenan waved his hand lightly, and immediately came in two eunuchs holding trays, and put the trays directly on the ground after coming in.

In the tray is pen and ink, and there is a red clay with handprints.

"Do you recognize the words?" Duan Kui asked.

Both men shook their heads.

"Waste." Duan Kui scolded.

The two didn't dare to make a sound, lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard, kept staring at the objects in the tray, and glanced at Pan Zhenan from time to time.

"It's okay if you can't read, you just have to say it, but there is a premise, if anyone has a lie, don't stay in this room, and send it directly to the torture cell, then you can't tell lies."

After hearing this, the two quickly nodded violently.

The snow was still falling outside, and there was no point in stopping.

"Those people want to kill the little ones because we two have done something wrong for others."

"Who? What's up? Duan Kui's words were very direct, and he didn't drag his feet at all.

"It's... It's..."The eunuch raised his head and glanced at Duan Kui with some fear, lowered his head as if he had made up his mind, "It's the queen mother!" ”

When Pan Zhenan heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Everything was as he guessed correctly.

These two people are really related to Zhao Cairen's miscarriage, and they also confessed to the queen.

"Go on." Duan Kui motioned with his eyes to the eunuch on the side to hurry up and write it down.

"As for the wrong... It was Zhao Cairen who fell off the sedan chair a few days ago. After the little eunuch finished speaking, he seemed to regret it, raised his head tremblingly and glanced at Pan Zhen'an, lowered his head again, and reached out to rub his numb face, "The day before that day, the palace maid next to the queen mother found the two of us, saying that the queen mother has had a bad nightmare recently, and she always has nightmares, and she dreamed that there were ghosts floating on the palace road in the back garden. ”

Pan Zhen'an's eyes narrowed again when he heard this.

The other eunuch continued, "We didn't think much about it at that time, she gave us a talisman for the two of us to burn, and then put the ashes into three buckets of water, and poured it on that palace road an hour before dawn, so that we could solve the nightmare of the queen's mother." At that time, the two of us were a little skeptical, but the palace maid said that this was said by the master, and the charm was also effective, and if we did it well, we would be rewarded accordingly. ”

"And you're getting paid?" Duan Kui asked.

The little eunuch nodded, his eyes stared at the ground, his lips trembled, and he said, "The little one has never seen so much silver in her life, she said that after the matter is completed, she will come to Fengluan Palace, and there will be more, and it will be inconvenient for them to send it at that time, so we need to pick it up ourselves." She also said that there is a taboo in the charm, that is, it can't be known to outsiders, otherwise it will fail, and we didn't think about it so much, thinking that what the queen did would not be a bad thing, just..."

"You poured water on the palace road?" Pan Zhenan asked out loud.

The little eunuch was startled by Pan Zhen'an, and his upper body was originally sitting on the ground with his arm propped up, but this time his arm lost his strength and collapsed directly on the ground.

"Do you know about Zhao Cairen's miscarriage the next day?" Pan Zhenan asked again.

"Know... But we don't dare to tell others... How did we know that it was a trap designed by the queen mother, and we thought that it was our fault that caused Zhao Cairen to have a miscarriage, if it wasn't for the queen mother to send someone to kill us, we would definitely feel guilty for a lifetime..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Father-in-law Pan, there is news from the Court Bureau." ”

"Come in."

The person who came was a eunuch who looked like an inner servant, dressed differently from Pan Zhen'an. I took off my cloak and looked at the side of his sleeve, which was still rubbing scarlet blood.

He was greeted by the little eunuch who had just knocked on the door, and then he went out with the door.

"Father-in-law Pan." The eunuch was polite to Pan Zhen'an first, but there was no trace of warmth in his words, and he shivered the two people on the ground in this snowy day.

"Lao Liu, what progress has there been?"

Pan Zhenan seems to be very familiar with this person named Lao Liu, and directly ordered someone to move the chair. Lao Liu was also not polite, and sat down directly: "If there is no progress, won't my trip be in vain?" ”

Lao Liu said as he took out two pieces of paper from the sleeve of his coat and handed them to Duan Kui. Duan Kui took it and spread out the paper and put it on the table to show Pan Zhen'an.

"Sure enough." Pan Zhenan looked at what was written on the paper and smiled, "I really didn't believe the wrong person, this kind of thing is the most suitable for you." ”

Lao Liu sneered and went out without saying a word.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Duan Kui asked.

"Let's go, let's go to see the emperor, these two people will be tied up first, and someone will be looking for someone to keep an eye on them."

Duan Kui followed behind the master. The snow was already very thick, but it was still falling, and it didn't go far before the snow fell on the shoulders and overhead.

After about half an hour, the snow slowly stopped. The corridors of the steps in the palace were covered with a thick layer of white, and the withered branches in the pots were broken by the snow. A peach tree was planted in the courtyard of Yunyan Pavilion, and two thin branches were crushed, which made Yao Chuxi feel distressed for a while.

All the palaces and courtyards in the palace came out to clean, some with brooms and some with shovels, and they all threw off their arms and got busy.

Jiang Liu is no exception, but he doesn't have to do this kind of work, he just needs to supervise others to do it.

"It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but I hope it is a good intention." Yao Chuxi stood under the corridor and said.

"Little master, come into the house, it's very cold outside!" Jiang Liu turned around and persuaded his master.

Luo Xia came over from the side and helped Yao Chuxi into the house.

She remembered the time when she served Shu Cairen. At that time, Shu Cai was not favored, and she had just been sick, and the people in the palace were not close to her, and Cao Meiren in the east hall of Lanyue Pavilion always sneered at her, which was not beneficial to recuperation.

Shu Cairen also felt that fate was unfair before, but the truth was helpless, although Luoxia was worthless for her, she couldn't help anything, and slowly developed an introverted temperament.

If she hadn't served in Yunyan Pavilion, she might have been like this for the rest of her life.

"Luoxia, you instructed Ying'er to boil a pot of ginger soup, and after a while, Jiang Liu and they finished cleaning up and drinking a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold, otherwise they would be easy to get sick."

"Got it, little lord." Luoxia took a long shirt and put it on, and went outside to find Ying'er.

After conveying her master's words, Luo Xia was about to go to the hall, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Liu.

"It's cold, isn't it?" Jiang Liu asked.

Luo Xia suddenly felt that he was cute, but she was embarrassed but had to say a word.

Seeing that Luoxia didn't make a sound, Jiang Liu panicked, and he couldn't say anything clearly. A small eunuch next to him swept the snow and swept him up, which can be regarded as saving him.

"Don't you have eyes?"

The little eunuch smiled and said something to admit his mistake, and Jiang Liu didn't look at him again.

Luo Xia thought that Jiang Liu and the others were busy now, preparing to walk past him.

"You wait." Jiang Liu suddenly called her, and squirmed and took out a silk hairpin made of light pink fabric from his coat pocket, "This hairpin was obtained by me two days ago, thinking that it is not appropriate for the little master to wear such a worthless thing, so I will give it to you." ”

Luo Xia was stunned for a moment, Jiang Liu thought that she didn't want to ask for it, so she withdrew her hand a little more, "It's okay if you don't like it, Liu'er, they have been asking me to bring them some jewelry a few days ago, and I am also busy these days, so I forgot about this stubble." ”

"Is there a reason to take back what you gave to someone else?" Luo Xia was a little embarrassed, she couldn't even say anything, and directly snatched the silk hairpin from Jiang Liu's hand, "The little master ordered someone to burn ginger soup, you drink more in a while." ”

Jiang Liu answered twice with a red face, and when he raised his head, Luo Xia had already entered the house.

He just told Luo Xia that he got the hairpin, but he actually lied to her. Duan Kui said a few days ago that his master arranged for him to go outside the palace to do some things, and he came back in one afternoon, Jiang Liu hesitated for a morning and gave Duan Kui half a bag of broken silver, and asked him to buy a hairpin outside the palace and come back, not too cheap, just buy it according to the money.

Half a bag of broken silver outside the palace was enough to buy a lot of hairpins, but Jiang Liu felt that those worthless objects couldn't line Luoxia, so he asked Duan Kui to buy it and come back.

Good things outside the palace, you can't rely on the word 'good' casually in the palace, so even if Luoxia wears it, it will be criticized.

"Why are you so happy? Let's hear it? Yao Chuxi asked.

Luo Xia's face was flushed, the corners of her mouth were grinning upward, and she knew that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Nothing." Luo Xia didn't dare to face her master, and turned around to walk to the back room, "The little master is happy with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will take your tricks, you should learn from Han Shanggong quickly." ”

"By the way, speaking of Han Shang Palace, why haven't I seen Han Shang Palace?" Yao Chuxi then remembered that he hadn't seen Han Shanggong come to the east hall since the snow fell, "You go to the room of Hanshang Palace to have a look." ”

As soon as Luo Xia went out, she saw Luo Shuang running over in a panic, "Luo Xia, Han Shanggong has a fever!" ”

Yao Chuxi also heard Luoshuang's words, and came out of the house before he had time to put on his clothes, "Fever? Then please ask for a doctor! What do you say! ”

"It's the slave's fault, but Han Shanggong refused to let the slave tell the little master, and she was uncomfortable when she taught the little master to embroider in the hall, and the slave and maid didn't dare to delay any longer when they saw that Han Shanggong was burning."

Luoxue and Luoyu came out of the house at this time, Luoxue quickly put a thick cloak on his master, and Luoyu turned his head and ordered Jiang Liu to ask for a doctor.
