Chapter 46: Faithfulness

The cold and secluded North Three welcomed two new residents with a cold attitude that was neither welcoming nor objecting.

In the dim room where the dust was flying and the curtains had become strands of cloth, the little palace man with a double bun looked at the palace woman in front of him with a crying voice.

"Master, this room is too dirty, where can I sleep with people?"

Although the woman in the palace costume did not have a single piece of jewelry on her head, and she wore the most plain and least patterned clothes, her hair was neatly combed, her clothes were not a little messy, and her facial expression was the same as before, far from the impassioned appearance of this morning.

"If others can live, why can't we? If you're afraid, you can go back. I remember I didn't let you come along. ”

The two people who spoke were naturally the two masters and servants of Wu Cairen who had just been demoted to the cold palace today.

However, the palace maid who came with her was not Wu Cairen's big palace maid, but a little girl who had just entered the palace.

The little palace people were reminded of the word "others" in Wu Cai's mouth, and suddenly remembered the few rooms they had just passed by when they were led over by the eunuchs, and the strange whispers and cries such as "Your Majesty's concubine knows that she is wrong" and "Let me out", and they couldn't help but tremble.

She wept and said, "The master has saved the life of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will not be ungrateful." The master should not bother to drive the slave and maid away, slave and maid, slave and maid, and then go to find a basin of water to come and scrub the bed. ”

Wu Cairen didn't say much when he saw this, looked around, and took the rag in the hands of the Xiaogong people very easily, and began to clean it himself.

The master and servant worked from morning to night, and barely managed to toss out a bed and bedding that could be slept on, and a set of tables and chairs that could be used. The bookshelf was too late to wipe, so the Xiaogong people could only stack the package of books that they had worked so hard to carry on the bookcase.

That night, just when Xiaogong was about to shrink on the dirty soft collapse to deal with it for a night, Wu Cairen called her over to sleep together.

The people of the small palace were moved to tears, and their thoughts about staying up in the cold palace with their master became firmer.

The next day, the people of Xiaogong got up early in the morning and began to clean the bookshelves for the master who loved to read.

Before the second layer of the shelf was wiped, a pretty thin girl came outside the door, dressed very brightly, the color of the first-class palace maid, wearing only the simplest earrings and a palace flower, and the black bangs were covered on the eyebrows, which made her face even smaller and fairer.

Looking down at himself who was covered in ashes, the sweat on his head was sticking to the dust, and he was still holding a blackened rag in his hand, Xiao Gongren suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

"Which palace is my sister from? But come to find our talented people? ”

Zhi Wei smiled at her: "Exactly, I don't know if Wu Cai can easily meet guests?" ”

It was a small room, with only the outer and inner rooms, and the curtain that had been used to cut it was also broken into strips of cloth, so that it could be seen at a glance, and there was no need to upload the newspaper at all.

Wu Cairen heard the words, and walked out of the room directly, his tone was light.

"It's all down here, what's the convenienceβ€”"

She was about to stab the other party twice, and when she saw Zhi Wei's appearance, she was suddenly stunned.

"How are you?"

Zhi Wei asked casually: "Who does Wu Cairen think it is?" ”

Wu Cairen didn't answer, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it again.

"Miss Zhiwei came to look for me, but for the sake of Wen Mei and yourself, she scolded me? If so, I'm afraid you'll have to stand and scold. You see, I don't even have a chair for hospitality here. ”

Zhi Weiqi said: "If I really came to fall into the well, don't you plan to defend yourself?" ”

Wu Cairen laughed sarcastically: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, what is the point of justification?" ”

Zhi Wei sighed, "Since talented people are very satisfied with the status quo, why do they have to talk about the canna outside the window?" ”

When she said this, she didn't take her eyes off the other person's face for a moment, and she didn't miss the slightest change in expression.

Wu Cairen's face really changed, but it was not the kind of change of weakness, but the shame of being told through his heart and piercing his mask.

"You, what the hell do you want to do?"

Zhi Wei smiled back to her sincerely.

An hour later, the emperor who had just left the dynasty received a "grievance" from the cold palace in the study.

The emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he was a little distracted when he listened to the report.

Zhi Wei felt a little strange, but she still dutifully repeated the suspicions she had found.

Wu Cairen's palace maid Moshu confessed that night she hanged herself and left a suicide note, but Wu Cairen said that the handwriting in the suicide note was not like Moshu's. Moshu followed her before she began to learn to write, but the hairpin in the suicide note is very skilled......"

"In addition, the little palace maid in Hanyu Hall who was the inner response was scolded with a rod, because the weather was hot, she had a stick sore, and she had a high fever. However, the palace maid who is now following Wu Cairen said that before the incident, the ink book also asked a fellow villager to help bring a few pieces of head and face out of the palace for his family......"

"Also, Wen Meiren also seems to think that Wu Cairen is not a murderer, but ......"

The emperor finally opened Chrysostom: "You said so much, have you found the murderer?" ”

Zhi Wei's face stiffened, and she said reluctantly: "For the time being, not yet." ”

The emperor said coldly: "Then why don't you hurry up and investigate?" Could it be that you want me to go out myself? ”

Zhi Wei was silent, and suddenly asked: "If the slave and maid find out someone who should not be investigated, what will Your Majesty do with the slave and maid?" ”

The emperor's eyes were even more wonderful, and he said after a while: "What to do, just do it." ”

Zhi Wei went through the words that Yu Ling inadvertently revealed in her heart, and then listened to the emperor's ambiguous answer, and beat a small drum in her heart.

If the emperor's heart and soul are really found or whoever it is, I'm afraid that her little ability to collect intelligence won't be able to protect her life.

She sighed silently: "The slave understands." Killing chickens with a knife, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to these chickens and dogs in the harem. The slave and maid must be loyal to His Majesty, bow to the fullest, and die! ”

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Zhiwei stood still, but she didn't habitually kneel down to admit her mistakes, she only hung her head and was silent.

The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed twice and muttered, "Sure enough...... The temper is good for ......"

Zhi Wei didn't hear clearly, and looked up at him suspiciously, and the big words "Why haven't you been angry" seemed to be written on his palm-sized face.

The emperor angrily threw the book on the case to show his majesty.

"What are you doing? Why don't you go down and do your duty for me? ”

The conscientious intelligence palace maid lowered her eyes, but said: "I don't know if Your Majesty can give some things to Wen Meiren, and the slave maid can go to Hanyu Hall for another trip." ”

The emperor had no choice but to respond, and asked her to go directly to Zhao Jiufu to open a private warehouse to get something.

After receiving the instruction, Zhao Jiufu took Zhi Wei to pick things out with an amiable smile.

The latter didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he only said: "No matter what you send, it is Your Majesty's heart that cares for Wen Meiren." At this point, it would be great if it could give some good medicinal materials and things to nourish the body. ”

Zhao Jiufu personally went in and picked up some good things such as Ganoderma lucidum, mountain ginseng, blood swallow, etc., and packed a big box for her.

When Zhi Wei left with the box in her hand, her eyes lingered for a moment in front of the locked hut next door, a little dazed, but she quickly walked away.

When I went to the Hanyu Palace, Wen Meiren was still resting.

Xiaoya learned that Zhiwei was here to give a reward for His Majesty, and her eyes were so happy that her eyes turned into a slit with laughter, but she resisted the impulse and didn't ask her master to get up.

"Miss Zhiwei is not someone else, I will say it directly. Since that incident, my master has not slept well at night, and he has been in a daze with his eyes open all night, and he always has to make up for sleep at this point every day. You came here yesterday and barely slept in the middle of the night, but you still didn't get enough sleep......"

Zhi Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this kind of trivial matter is harmless, I won't publicize it everywhere." ”

Xiaoya's approach is indeed a bit rude, but it is also out of a heart to cherish the master's body. Moreover, Zhiwei didn't feel the need for this, so she had to toss the sleeping Wen Mei to accept the reward. After all, it's just an excuse for her to send something, and it's the real chapter to come over to spy on intelligence.

She smiled at Xiaoya: "Put the things here first, if you want to be fine, just look at it, and count a little bit first, right?" I'll go and say hello to Concubine Xian, and come back again after a turn. ”

Xiao Ya covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty's rewards, where is there any wrong amount?" Miss Zhiwei go quickly, my master feels light, and most of the time he will get up after a quarter of an hour's sleep, just to talk to you, and the master's lunch can also be used a little more fragrant. ”

Zhiwei walked around the garden slowly, and finally walked in the direction of the main hall, but met the palace maid Lilac of the virtuous concubine halfway.

The other party saw that her face changed slightly, but he quickly showed a reserved but enthusiastic smile.

"It turned out that Miss Zhiwei was here, but what will Your Majesty want to announce?"

Zhi Wei smiled: "Sister Lilac is serious, that is, there is a purpose, and it is not something that a person like me dares to proclaim." It's just to send some supplements to Wen Meiren for His Majesty, thinking that he can't pass through the palace gate without entering, so he came to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to say goodbye. ”

Lilac showed an embarrassed expression: "That's not a coincidence! To tell the truth, my mother is annoying, the eldest princess has a fever and a lot of rashes on her body, as if she is about to have chickenpox. There's a doctor in there, and it's a mess everywhere. My master is exhausted, and is about to send someone to report to His Majesty and the Queen. If Miss Zhiwei has a heart, I will be cheeky and ask you to run for our mother. ”

Zhi Wei exclaimed: "Chickenpox? That's the big deal! Don't worry, Miss Lilac, I'll go back and report to Your Majesty. ”

Lilac said a few words of thanks, and briefly congratulated her on her lucky escape a while ago, and then Zhiwei left to report the news.

Kun Xu Palace also quickly received the news.

The queen was walking with her belly that didn't protrude at all, and she only raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Celestia has chickenpox?" As the mother-in-law, it seems that this palace should also be present. But the body of this palace is not angry, and he has no experience in childbirth, and he doesn't know what to do when a child has acne, and he doesn't even have the palace power in his hands, so he can only let Concubine Xian take care more. Green Peach, help the palace to go back to the house to rest, and then go and call the whole imperial doctor over to take a look at the palace, Fang Cai seems to be a little unwell......"

If Aunt Lin was here in the past, she would have to persuade her with good words, but the green peach was only the queen's order, so naturally there was no second word.

Lilac didn't see the queen, and only got such a sentence from the mouth of the green peach, and her face couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Green Peach sighed: "The queen is also thinking about the eldest princess, it's really unfortunate, I have to ask the imperial doctor for the mother at this time." Niangniang said, let Green Peony accompany her sister on a trip. If there is any need at the other end of Yongle Palace, the queen will try her best to hold on. ”

Lilac smiled reluctantly: "Since this is the case, I will bother Sister Green Peony." ”

When the two of them were far away, Green Peach waved a silk handkerchief and showed a smug smile.

And at the angle she couldn't see, Green Peony noticed that Lilac's face was tense, her mouth was pursed into a straight line, her eyes were quite eager, and she immediately believed all of Lilac's words.

It seems that the situation of the eldest princess is not very good, and she will have to find a little girl to send a letter back to her mother in a while.
