Chapter 790: Beheading for public display
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, walked over and said hello timidly, Lord Chen came back to look at her, stunned for a while, Xiao Cheng opened his mouth.
"I accidentally bumped into the adult in front of the door of the imperial study, and I haven't apologized yet, these are the slave's reparations."
As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Lord Chen, who looked down.
Some of the little red hands held a few yellow oranges, which were very round and pleasing.
He smiled and took one, "Then I'll take it, forgive your recklessness, and remember to watch the road next time." ”
Smiling, he glanced at Xiao Cheng's red hand again, and saw that this girl's outfit did not look like a little palace maid who did rough work.
On the contrary, he looks like a supervisor, why does he have so many injuries on his hands?
After a while, the little eunuch came over with a food box, and Lord Chen was about to leave, but he had just walked two steps when he heard someone running from behind.
"Xiao Cheng, Mother Wang said that she couldn't kill the fish if she hurt her hand, but the queen ordered a braised fish over there, and it was about to be too late."
Xiao Cheng put down the orange in his hand and sighed, "I'll kill it." ”
Master Chen frowned, he stopped and looked back, Xiao Cheng wiped the water stains on his hands, and said that he was about to go back.
"Wait."
Master Chen stopped them and walked over, he glanced at Xiao Cheng, who was stunned.
I just think that this little girl is simple and cute, and she is obviously a supervisor, how can she still be sent.
He put his hand in his cloak, and the palace maid named Xiao Cheng recognized the pattern on his clothes, and her expression immediately changed.
The adults of the previous dynasty were not the people they provoked.
"When has there been such a rule in the palace, the subordinate can't do anything if he hurts his hand, and others don't replace him, but let the supervisor do it himself."
Lord Chen's voice was gentle and gentle, not like a question, and the little palace maid sighed.
She glanced at Xiao Cheng next to her, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It seems that since Xiao Cheng became a supervisor, her majesty is not enough to suppress the people below, so she slowly became a handyman.
"Since you can't answer, then I'll just tell Your Majesty or the Queen."
Listening to his breezy tone, as if he had a very good relationship with the emperor and empress, Xiao Cheng pondered silently in his heart.
"This Lord ......"
The palace maid's face turned a little pale, and it was okay to do this in private on weekdays.
If this was stabbed to Kunning Palace, Xiao Cheng would have been personally promoted by the queen's mother, and she didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Lord Chen's light words frightened those people in the imperial dining room, and they all mistakenly thought that Xiao Cheng had lost the heart of Kunning Palace.
But when I got to an adult from a former court official to the second rank, I couldn't mess with it.
This made Xiao Cheng's life a lot better.
When the news reached Kunning Palace, Zhong Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows.
"She moved quickly, and she found a new backer so quickly."
After saying that, the book in her hand was also closed, Zhong Xiaoshu rubbed her eyebrows, and an inexplicable strangeness arose in her heart.
"The front and harem are not connected, how did she get acquainted with that Lord Chen?"
Xia Zhitao and Qing'er both shook their heads blankly, how could they know this, Zhong Xiaoshu was sullen, and she sighed.
"Leave her alone for the time being, there have been a lot of things lately, let's see when it's over."
As he spoke, he opened the book on the table again and continued to read.
In the prison, the old man sat unkempt in the rotten straw.
When they were first detained, the jailer kept one and separated the two people with the surname, and did not let them meet.
So Master Quan still didn't know that Quan Yun had entered the prison, and he leaned against the wall and sighed.
As soon as he saw the jailer, he crawled through the cell door and said that he wanted to see his daughter for the last time.
But when he asked him where his daughter was, he shook his head and said that his whereabouts were unknown.
After listening to it too much, the jailer was a little impatient, and he didn't like to deal with this crazy old man anymore.
Because Lord Chen spoke for her that day, the restless old men in the imperial dining room were pressed down again as soon as they popped up.
It's not very nice to see Xiao Cheng's expression every day, but Xiao Cheng doesn't care about this.
"Did you hear that the person who took the lead in killing the palace before was in the prison.
Ask him what his name is, and he doesn't answer, and even the old man who does his secret line doesn't know his name. ”
"Isn't it, is it so well hidden?"
"Hehe, maybe I'm afraid of affecting my family or something."
"If you're really afraid of affecting your family, then why do you want to do such a thing that makes people poke their backbones."
The turmoil of the rebellion and forcing the palace has not yet ended, and the entire deep palace is full of gossip palace maids and eunuchs, and Xiao Cheng is a little distracted when he listens to it.
Listening to their descriptions, could it be that the man who had been in contact with her was in prison?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Cheng's hands trembled in fright and almost threw the food box out.
In the afternoon, Mr. Chen came to the Imperial Dining Room again, and I heard that he liked to eat the dim sum made by the Imperial Dining Room.
His Majesty has recently reused him, so he has allowed him to come to the imperial dining room every time he enters the palace to make snacks.
When Xiao Cheng came back, he saw Lord Chen standing at the door, and the other party also noticed her.
"Why don't you go in and sit down?"
She tried her best to be innocent and innocent, and Master Chen smiled, "The smoke is heavy, I can't smell it." ”
Xiao Cheng sighed, and then remembered what he had just heard.
She pursed her lips, and just as she wanted to speak, the little eunuch came running with a food box in small steps.
"My lord, today's pastries have just been divided, and there are no new ones, and the next batch is being made.
Do you want to go shopping first, and then the pastries will be sent to your house? ”
The little eunuch rubbed his hands nervously, then caught a glimpse of Xiao Cheng on the side, and suddenly remembered that Master Chen had spoken for this girl last time.
He immediately pointed at Xiao Cheng and said, "There are some new fun things in the palace, why don't you let Miss Xiao Cheng take you to see them."
The minions are here to watch, making sure to get you the first basket of snacks just out of the pot. ”
Lord Chen was amused by his flamboyant words, and he glanced at Xiao Cheng with some hesitation.
Xiao Cheng happened to have something to ask him, so he immediately nodded and said that he could lead the way.
The two walked side by side, and the weather was much better in the spring, and occasionally I could hear the chirping of magpies or sparrows.
"Have you talked about the recent events?"
Xiao Cheng started to speak, and Lord Chen nodded, she clenched her fists.
"Those thieves are so hateful, they even touched the front of the court, I heard that Lord Quan Yun, who was an official a year ago, ......"
"Be careful."
Before Xiao Cheng finished speaking, Lord Chen raised his hand and pressed her open and closed mouth, and the two of them stood in place, and the atmosphere instantly became a little delicate.
Xiao Cheng's eyes flickered a little, she turned her face away, I don't know if it was intentional.
The red lips swept between Lord Chen's fingers, and the latter's eyes darkened.
"I know I shouldn't say these things, but those thieves dare to spy on my Xichuan land.
It is not too much to kill such a rebellious person a hundred times. ”
Master Chen withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Cheng, who was a little annoyed, "Then what do you think is the most appropriate thing to do?" ”
"Naturally, the person who took the lead was beheaded for public display."
