Chapter 289: Clues

Shen Ziheng looked at his sister with a cold face and sighed, "Sister, King Fuqing's mother is the Empress Dowager, and that is the Empress Dowager's own sister. Let's not talk about anything else, the imperial concubine is very good, and she treats the first emperor and the emperor very well, she never asks about the affairs of the court, and her reputation in the harem is excellent. Since the first emperor ascended the throne, the imperial concubine has never seen the king of Fuqing again, even if the first emperor let the king of Fuqing enter the palace to see his mother, the imperial concubine is not allowed, extremely avoidant, the first emperor often praises the imperial concubine. ”

"So what?" Yingchun was still extremely annoyed, "Even if she is virtuous, she is also the mother of King Fuqing, isn't she?" ”

Shen Ziheng shook his head helplessly, "Sister, many things are not what you imagined, in fact, King Fuqing has already ignored the life and death of the crown princess." King Fuqing never took the initiative to ask to enter the palace to meet the emperor and concubine, even if the mother and son met at a family banquet once, they were extremely polite, but they were not close. It has been rumored outside that King Fuqing did not become the emperor and had a great relationship with the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine did not like this son. ”

"The first emperor still remembered the love of the imperial concubine who treated him back then, and the emperor was a very benevolent and filial person, so the emperor would not use the imperial concubine to force King Fuqing. There are only three of us today, I will say a big rebellious word, who is the emperor in this world, has nothing to do with us, but my sister wants to think, the emperor is a generation of Ming Jun, I don't hide it from you, I have followed the emperor for so many years, and I know who he is. And the person of King Fuqing, you have also seen it, Shaozu has followed King Fuqing for all these years, in the end, has King Fuqing ever been soft on the people of Sun Mansion? But the emperor is different. ”

Shen Ziheng lowered his eyelids, "If it weren't for the emperor thinking of me before and after the saddle, Jia Yu ...... and how will they be spared? ”

Yingchun knew that Shen Ziheng would do something to help in Jia's mansion, but he didn't expect that Shen Ziheng would repay Jia Yu's life with the grace of his life. Both Yingchun and Sun Shaozu stopped talking.

Shen Ziheng glanced at Sun Shaozu, "Shaozu, the emperor also knows your situation, and he is also very anxious, you have already voted for the emperor, you are the emperor's person, and the emperor will not ignore you." The previous sin of rebellion is equivalent to making up for it. ”

Sun Shaozu stood up and hugged Shen Ziheng, "I also ask my uncle to thank the emperor, but now that these things have happened in the house, Yingchun is pregnant again, how can I feel at ease?" ”

Shen Ziheng nodded, "Don't worry, I am also very clear about this matter, and I will also help you think of ideas." ”

Shen Ziheng talked to Yingchun and Sun Shaozu again, and while the night was dark, Shen Ziheng left first.

As soon as Shen Ziheng left, Xiao Yun replied outside the door, "Master, madam, the slave has something to report." ”

Yingchun remembered what Xiao Yun had to check, and hurriedly called Xiao Yun in. Xiao Yun bowed, "The slave has gone to the lake, and she found this." Xiao Yun stretched out her hand, and a small purse was revealed. A small blue purse with a small lotus flower embroidered on it.

Yingchun reached out and took the purse and asked Xiao Yun, "Where did you find it?" ”

"It's not far from where Kerr fell into the water."

"This? ......" Sun Shaozu hesitated, "Why do you look so familiar?" ”

Yingchun flipped and looked at it carefully, "Isn't this the purse that the old lady gave to a few big girls on the day of Laba?" I remember that only a few decent girls in my house and the old lady's house had this purse. The purse of the girl in my house is embroidered with hibiscus, and the purse of the girl in the old lady's house is embroidered with lotus flowers. Don't...... Someone in the old lady's house? ”

When Yingchun said this, he gasped, and Sun Shaozu's face turned a little pale.

"Don't worry about it yet, could it be a girl who passed by?" Sun Shaozu looked at the sky and said to Yingchun, "Early tomorrow morning, you go to your mother's place, and quietly call a few girls to ask, it will be natural to understand, don't alarm your mother." ”

Yingchun knew that Sun Shaozu had a lot of recent events, and nodded, "You can rest assured, I will go early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely ask about this purse." ”

Early the next morning, Yingchun went to ask Mrs. Sun to say goodbye, and Mrs. Sun told Yingchun again, which was nothing more than to Yingchun to be careful and not to walk back and forth. Yingchun agreed with a smile, she glanced at a few girls, and said to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, there were many things at home a year ago, I want to borrow a few girls for use, I don't know if my mother can cut her love?" ”

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "What is the love that is not cut, if there is something to do, just let them help." ”

Yingchun retreated, went to the ear room, called over Mai Dong, took out the purse from his arms, and handed it to Mai Dong, "Look, whose purse is this in your house?" ”

Mai Dong took it over and looked at it carefully, "Third lady, this is Qing Dai's purse, in order to distinguish it from us, Qing Dai also deliberately sewed two small dewdrops next to this lotus flower, you see, but this is here?" ”

Yingchun looked at Mai Dong and saw that there were really two small white dewdrops.

Mai Dong asked, "Third Madame, how could Qingdai's purse be here with you?" ”

Yingchun sighed and hurriedly said to Mai Dong, "The stakes are very high, I can't say it first, Mai Dong, what about Qingdai and her?" I didn't see her yet. ”

"Qingdai's mother is sick, she begged the old lady last night, and the old lady kindly asked her to go home and take a look, but she will almost come back in the evening."

How could it be such a coincidence? Qingdai won't run away?

Yingchun hurriedly asked Mai Dong, "Where is Qingdai's house?" ”

Mai Dong saw that Yingchun's face changed, and he knew that something big might be wrong, "It's in the countryside near Zhuangzi, Third Lady, is something wrong?" ”

As soon as the spring is counted, Qingdai got up early in the morning and left, if she really went back to her home in the countryside, this time was almost up. If I send someone to chase after me, I don't know if Qingdai has really returned to the countryside.

Yingchun smiled at Mai Dong, "It's nothing, you are busy first, I'll go back." ”

Mai Dong sent out Yingchun, full of doubts, but he didn't dare to tell others. When Mrs. Sun asked Mai Dong what kind of work he was, Mai Dong only said that he was going to fold some golden nude seeds to be used to worship his ancestors after the New Year. Mrs. Sun was a big-hearted person, so she didn't ask again.

When Sun Xi came, Yingchun instructed, "You tell me to go down, if Qingdai comes back to the house at night, no matter which door she goes, as long as she comes back, she will bring someone to me, and she is not allowed to go back to the old lady first." ”

Sun Xi hurriedly agreed and retreated.

Yingchun frowned, she couldn't believe that this spy would be Qingdai who had been with Mrs. Sun for all these years.

At the end of the day, Qingdai did not come back, and Yingchun's heart began to sink a little bit. If Qingdai comes back, it also means that she may be wronged, and if Qingdai doesn't come back, it's hard to say. Maybe it was just running away. Yingchun loosened the soil for the flowers spoonful, but his eyes didn't look at the flowers. If Qing Dai escaped like this, she would never be found again. However, for Sun Fu, it is not a bad thing.

Yingchun began to feel that time passed very slowly, very slowly.

At dusk, several mothers-in-law came to the courtyard to welcome spring with Qingdai. Qing Dai was a little at a loss, and when she saw Yingchun, she hurriedly asked, "Third lady, I don't know what the slave maid has done wrong, why don't you allow the slave and maid to go back to the old lady's yard?" ”

Yingchun looked at Qing Dai, took out her purse from her arms and asked, "Qing Dai, is this your purse?" ”

Qing Dai looked at it, and it was really her own purse, Qing Dai hurriedly touched her body, and then found that her purse was gone. Qing Dai hurriedly replied, "If you go back to the third lady, it is the slave's purse, but I don't know how to get to the third lady." ”

Yingchun shook her purse and stared at Qing Dai's face tightly, without a trace of a smile on her face, "This was found on the edge of the water where Ke'er was pushed down." ”

When Qing Dai heard this, her face changed, and she knelt down in front of Yingchun with a plop, "Third lady Mingjian, the slave maid will never dare to do those things that hurt heaven and reason." If the third lady doesn't take out this purse today, the slave doesn't know that the purse is lost, please let the third lady know it. The slave maid has been following the old lady for so long, the slave maid does not dare to take a wrong step, if the third lady does not believe it, you can ask Mai Dong and Jin Yan a few, not to mention the lake in the garden, even if it is a house, I have never gone out, the previous child was my night, the slave maid has been serving the old lady, and I dare not take half a step. ”

Yingchun looked at Qingdai and felt that what Qingdai said was not fake, Yingchun called Si Zhu, "Go and call Mai Dong and Jinyan, and say that I have something to ask her to help." ”

Si Zhu retreated. Yingchun glanced at Qing Dai, and Qing Dai had tears in her eyes. Not long after, Si Zhu came with Mai Dong and Jin Yan, and asked about Yingchun, but Mai Dong and Jin Yan's words were the same as Qingdai. Yingchun frowned, it didn't seem to be Qingdai.

Jin Yan's eyes flashed when she looked at the purse, and she said to Yingchun hesitantly: "Third lady, the slave has a matter, I don't know if it's very important, and now I will return it to the third lady." ”

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, the slave maid found Qu'er coming out of the room where we lived, I saw her panicked and stopped her and asked, she first bowed her head and said silently, and then cried and said, she wanted to find something to eat, and broke a plate, she was afraid that we would beat her, so she ran out in a panic. I also thought that Qu'er had always been a glutton, and there may be such a thing, and I saw that it was indeed a broken plate, so I didn't ask Qu'er again, now that I think about it, could it be that Qu'er stole Qingdai's purse? ”

Qu'er? Yingchun's heart tightened, she had some impressions of this girl, and once Qu Er mistakenly admitted that she had eaten something secretly. But such a little girl, could she really be King Fuqing's spy?

Yingchun told the two not to talk about today's events, and Qingdai and Mai Dong both retreated.

Yingchun called Si Zhu, "You go and get Qu'er quickly." ”
