Chapter 074: Tracking
Early the next morning, Hua Zhen brought a message to Hua Myanmar.
After Hua Mian was silent for a long time, she asked Wan Tao to call Xiao Yangzi for questioning.
Hua Myanmar is pregnant, only Wan Tao and Shu Yu knew in the Shuihua Palace, since she miscarried to the high monk to surpass the infant spirit, the Shuihua Palace has been shrouded in gloomy clouds and miserable fog, even if it is covered up, it is difficult to escape the attention of the public, but the palace people are still relatively eye-catching, and they feel that the atmosphere is not right, and no one dares to chew the root of the tongue.
Since Xiao Yangzi learned that Hua Mian had a miscarriage, he was shocked and thought about it carefully, although he didn't know what the problem was, he always felt that this child must have been calculated. It's just that even the palace people of Shuihua Palace don't know that their master is pregnant, how did others know about it? Puzzled, he was suddenly summoned by his master, which made him slightly surprised.
Respectfully saluted Hua Mian, Xiao Yangzi said: "I don't know why Niangniang called the slave to come over?" ”
Hua Mian looked at Xiao Yangzi carefully for a long time, and only then did she say when she looked at him coldly: "You must have heard about my slippery miscarriage, right?" ”
Xiao Yangzi nodded and said: "The slave just heard about it, but I didn't dare to be sure, but now I learned from the mother's mouth, I know that it is true, and I hope that the mother can mourn." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yangzi had no different color, Hua Mian's heart was slightly relieved, and said: "I called you here to tell you that the reason why I slipped the tire must have been framed." Do you find any suspicious people when you go in and out of the palace every day? ”
Xiao Yangzi twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed a trace of fluctuations, although it was only a flash, but it was accurately captured by Hua Mian. When she was not surprised to hear his negative answer, she curled the corners of her lips: "As expected." ”
Xiao Yangzi was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, he lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and said: "The slave has indeed not found any suspicious people, Niangniang may wish to ask other palace people, maybe you can find some clues." ”
Hua Mian stared at him for a long time, and when the surging emotions gradually subsided, her voice was a little unstable: "Xiao Yangzi, I don't blame you for doing things for Concubine Zhuang Xian, after all, you are forced to do it, and now my child is likely to be harmed by her, but why do you continue to cover up?" ”
Xiao Yangzi looked up in shock: "How did Niangniang know that I was ......?"
"I've had someone check on you." Hua Mian interrupted him, "The reason why I still use you is because I think you are not bad in nature, and you have not done anything too out of the ordinary. You are just being coerced by her to do things for Zhuang Ziyan. Now that I've asked someone to make another arrangement for your parents, I wonder if I can relieve your worries? ”
Hua Mian's words shocked Xiao Yangzi beyond measure. In a matter of moments, his mind raced, reviewing all the details since he entered the Shuihua Palace. At this point, he finally figured something out. Why would the emperor want his life with all the fuss? Why would Concubine Burmese rather be beaten to save his life? I see! I hated him until today.
After figuring out all the joints, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xie Niangniang's great kindness, the slave has nothing to repay, and he will definitely tell everything he knows." ”
Hua Mian couldn't help but breathe a sigh in his heart, and said, "Get up and speak." ”
Xiao Yangzi thanked him, got up and said: "Before the mother slipped the baby, the slave had to go back and forth to the imperial dining room several times a day, and twice the slave went to pick up the lunch box. The chef of Chuxiu Palace is a first-class cook, and Concubine Zhuang Xian usually opens a stove in her own palace, how could she let Xia Er go to the imperial dining room to pick up food? I asked the chef in particular. The imperial chef said that Concubine Zhuang Xian had a cold in the past few days, and she was unwell and wanted to change her taste. I didn't take it to heart. Now that I think about it, could it be that Xia Er did something to Niangniang's meal before I arrived? ”
Hua Mian suppressed the grief and anger that was about to erupt, waved his hand to Xiao Yangzi and said, "Don't publicize this matter, you go down." ”
Xiao Yangzi saw that Hua Mian endured his grief, and his heart was also sad, and he quietly retreated with tears in his eyes.
Wan Tao stepped forward, took the crumbling Hua Mian into his arms, and said in a choked voice: "Do you still want to investigate?" ”
Helped by Wan Tao to sit on the soft couch, Hua Mian shook his head tiredly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There is no evidence, only speculation, how convincing is it to say it?" What's more, no one else knows that I am pregnant, so how can I deliberately cause harm? ”
"Then we can't do nothing and let others bully, right?"
"No, I will definitely recover my children's debts, but now I feel very tired, and I don't want to participate in those women's fights at all." Hua Mian lay down tiredly and lazily, squinted at the dense phoenix branches, and said thoughtfully, "You say, how can I avoid their calculations?" ”
"This ......," Wan Tao mused, "unless they feel like you're no longer a threat to them." ”
How can they stop being a threat to them? Hua Mian smiled bitterly: "Anyway, the emperor is very cold to me now, I might as well continue to stalemate with him, and when Shuihua Palace becomes a cold palace, they will stop." ”
"But," Wan Tao said with a frown, "if that day comes, they will not stop until they trample you into the dust." ”
Hua Mian thought about it: "Then I will ask for a decree to go to the nunnery to practice, so that we can always be safe, right?" ”
"The emperor won't agree."
"Why?"
Wan Tao sighed: "The emperor's heart for you, I'm afraid that everyone in this palace already knows it, but you still pretend not to know." ”
Hua Mian was silent for a long time and said: "It is precisely because of this that I will become the target of everyone, and I am even so sad that I can't even protect my own children." After a pause, she added: "I don't pretend to know about his heart for me, but I can't respond to him." Because I only have a wild brother in my heart. Since you can't give him the affection he wants, it's better to let it go, which is better for everyone. ”
"But I don't think the emperor will let go."
"Then I'll retreat as advance."
At noon, Zhuang Ziyan got a message from an informant outside the palace that Xiao Yangzi's parents had disappeared for no reason and were out of their control.
Zhuang Ziyan slapped the case angrily: "Okay, you little Yangzi, I didn't expect you to have this backhand, I really underestimated you." ”
When her mood eased a little, she couldn't help but feel afraid for a while, but fortunately, she thought that he was forced by herself, and she might not be dedicated to herself, and she didn't let him participate in the plot of the fetus in Huami's womb, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. As for those who dare to betray themselves inside and out, how can she let him be at ease?
