Aunt Ruan just wanted to get closer, when she saw a man's face appear in front of her: "Who are you?" Why is it here? What do you see? ”

Faced with King Yi's series of questions, Aunt Ruan panicked and stepped back step by step: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid heard nothing, knew nothing, and saw nothing. ”

"Really?" Ling Zhao asked her with empty eyes, "You really didn't see anything?" ”

"The slave is true."

"This king still believes in the mouths of the dead."

Ling Zhao took the hand that King Yi grabbed Aunt Ruan, and patted the folds on Aunt Ruan's sleeve: "Auntie, what are you going to do?" ”

"I ...... I went to get the ice cubes that the prince gave to the girl, and I happened to pass by here. ”

"Oh, then aunt go quickly. If you go back late, Miss Rainbow should be worried. ”

"Princess Xie, Princess Xie...... And the slave and maid went back? ”

Ling Zhao smiled and nodded, Aunt Ruan walked back, and when she heard King Yi and the princess say something so thrilling as rebellion, she didn't dare to get any ice cubes, she just wanted to go back to the courtyard quickly.

The courtyard where Wanxiang lived was remote, and Aunt Ruan was knocked unconscious as soon as she passed the Buddhist hall. That whole day, Aunt Ruan never went back.

It wasn't until the evening that Ji'er muttered to Wanxiang: "Auntie, where did you go to get ice, why didn't you come back all day?" ”

Wanxiang asked while memorizing the prescription, "Take the ice?" When did you go out? ”

"I went out in the morning, I guess I went to talk to other aunts, and I didn't care if I came back late, but I didn't come back when it was dark?"

Wanxiang put down the pen and saw the sky outside dyed red by the slanting sun, and felt that something was wrong: "I'll go and see." ”

After speaking, she stood up and walked out, and Ji'er followed her closely: "If you can't find it, ask the prince to help find it, I'm very panicked." ”

"Well, I'll tell Liang to go to the courtyards of the mansion to have a look."

Hearing that it was the person who was gone, Xiao Huaijin hurriedly called someone to look for it. But when I found it, it was dark, and I couldn't see anyone.

It wasn't until it was deeper and quieter that a maid holding the lamp was so frightened that she screamed for death that she went over to look.

Liang Cuo picked up the frightened maid who collapsed to the ground, and then asked someone to lift Aunt Ruan and send her to the courtyard of Wanxiang.

Wanxiang smelled the smell of blood and walked over, picked up Aunt Ruan on the ground and saw that the blood stains on the corners of her mouth were not normal, and opened her mouth to see: "The tongue is gone." ”

Xiao Huaijin just walked into Wanxiang's room, and heard Wanxiang say again: "I can't live." ”

She looked at Aunt Ruan expressionlessly, untied the rope tied to Aunt Ruan's hand, and stuffed the medicine into Aunt Ruan's mouth.

is also facing death, but this time Juanxiang's mood is very complicated, as if soy sauce mixed with salt is sprinkled on the scar on his heart.

The feelings in his heart were lifted up in one go, and Wan Xiang put down Aunt Ruan's turn and walked out of the house, standing in the courtyard and looking at the direction of the south courtyard.

Wanxiang repeatedly emphasized in her heart that she was not feeling sad because of Aunt Ruan, but that someone had moved her own people, and she felt uncomfortable.

Xiao Huaijin walked out of the house, stood behind her and said, "Swallow your breath." ”

"The tongue is gone, the eyes are blind, and the ears are pierced. Afraid that she would die a painful death, I sent her a blind 'long farewell'. ”

Long speech, the poison that can make people leave without any pain.

I heard Wanxiang continue: "Seeing such a method...... I'm ashamed that I can't afford to be half vicious. ”

After speaking, Wanxiang looked in the direction of the South Courtyard: "I said it was her, do you believe it?" ”

"Faith." Xiao Huaijin held her raised hand: "But even if it's ......"

"But even if it's her, I'm going to put up with it first. Nanjiang princess, your princess, can step on the face of my cheap slave...... That's right, that's right. ”

Ayaka withdrew her hand, angry as she had never been. I finally found a hug that was similar to my mother, but it was gone.

"Don't worry, your subordinates won't cause any trouble."

"This king will send her home for you."

"Okay?" Akika smiled and nodded.

That night, some people were destined to be worried, some people were sleepless, and some people were afraid of the aroma of the silk and rushed into the south courtyard with a bottle of medicine, calling Ling Zhao to die in a foreign land.

Ling Zhao himself didn't expect that when he heard the news of Aunt Ruan's death, he would be afraid. It's not because I've hurt people, but because I think of the wolf-like eyes of the incense.

I was so scared that when I closed my eyes, my ears repeated the words of Aunt Ruan before her tongue was cut off: "The girl knows that she will not spare you, you poisonous woman who intends to seek power and usurp the throne and trap her husband for disloyalty and injustice!" ”

Judging from the fact that Wanxiang received fifty canes for Qi'er before, I am afraid that my life in Pingnan Wangfu will be difficult.

So be sure to finish her first.

……

After Aunt Ruan's mourning, it rained lightly, and the sky was so dark that she couldn't even find a star. Wanxiang found a maid and said that she was muttering to someone in secret, and she saw Aunt Ruan disappear behind the Buddhist hall.

So before dawn, Wanxiang invited the little girl to tea.

The maid held the teacup like a pins and needles, for fear that she had said something wrong, and as soon as she heard the words 'Aunt Ruan', she was so frightened that she even dropped the cup.

Wanxiang Haosheng asked the maid in front of her: "Did the princess take Aunt Ruan away?" ”

"Slave maid...... The slave doesn't know. ”

"I really don't know?"

"I don't know."

"Aunt Ruan was pulled out of her tongue before her death, I guess you don't know what it's like, but I also want to learn how to get her tongue pulled out to be the most painful."

"Girl, spare your life, girl, I take it seriously...... Seriously......"

"Did you really see nothing?" Wanxiang pulled out the scimitar in her hand and raised the maid's chin with the blade: "Do you see it?" ”

"Slave maid ......" The maid was so frightened that tears fell, and her voice trembled in despair: "Girl, don't kill me, slave and maid don't want to die." ”

"Your mistake is that you talked about this matter with others, I know that the Southern Court may also know, maybe it will kill you.

As long as you say it, you don't have to follow me to the prince to testify, I will send you directly to Beixun to find a good family to work as an errand, and the people in the southern courtyard will no longer find you, and you will be alive. ”

"Yes...... It was the maid named Ah Man next to the princess who knocked Aunt Ruan unconscious and dragged her away from the back of the Buddhist hall. There were not many people near the Buddha hall, and the slave maid happened to wipe the Buddha lamp inside...... After I went back, I was scared, so I muttered two sentences to someone......"

In line with the duty of being a slave, Wanxiang respects and endures and endures Lingzhao, and now that she thinks about it, she feels like she has lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot.

After asking, Wanxiang asked someone to send this little girl to Beixun, in case the people in the South Courtyard heard any rumors and asked her for trouble.

There was also a gray dawn on the horizon, and Wanxiang paced to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of porridge with her own hands.

The taste of the porridge reminded Aunt Ruan of the first time she cooked porridge with tonic medicine. After cooking, he brought it to the table and ate it one bite at a time, silently waiting for the movement of the South Courtyard.

It wasn't until dawn that Ling Zhao in the southern courtyard finally woke up, she lifted the quilt and shouted 'Aman' No one answered, rubbing her forehead and continuing to shout: "Aman...... Aman? ”

The people outside were silent, and when they lifted the curtain, they saw that all the maids they had brought from southern Xinjiang were kneeling on the ground, including the maids who had been sent to Wanxiang before.

"Can't you hear me when I call anyone? What are they doing here? ”

“……”

Ah Man raised his head and looked at Ling Zhao with a panicked expression, and raised his hand to point to his mouth.

Ling Zhao found that all the maids he brought from southern Xinjiang could not speak, but they opened their mouths but couldn't shout, seeing that they were anxious to shed tears, he also panicked.

"She got it."

……

As soon as Wanxiang finished eating porridge, Liang Cuo came to call her. As soon as I arrived at the East Courtyard, I saw Xiao Huaijin's cold face: "What did you do about the South Courtyard?" ”

"Yes." She didn't shy away from admitting it.

"You can't hold it like that?"

"Yes."

Xiao Huaijin glared at her, speechless.

Ling Zhao just came, and he couldn't stop complaining to Xiao Huaijin about how vicious his Wanxiang was, his Wanxiang despised her and despised the entire southern Xinjiang, and his Wanxiang was a lowly inferior slave who was not worthy of staying in the palace.

But he pulled up his dark sleeves, carefully depicted the mountains on the paper, and replied: "The princess's maidservant and Aunt Ruan, these two things are not clear.

If the princess can't produce any evidence, don't talk nonsense. My people are guilty of the following, and I am accustomed to them. ”

Just when Ling Zhao wanted to leave, Xiao Huaijin stood in place and reminded: "I heard that the Empress Dowager had a head disease yesterday, if the princess bothers for these trivial things, not only the king, but also the emperor will be angry." ”
