"I used to be the maid of the princess, but I was later sent to Lanxinyuan to be Mrs. Hui's maid, and then I ......" the old lady thought hard, "I suddenly disappeared from her, and I heard in private that it was gone!" ”

Su Qi secretly sighed to himself: Sure enough, as said in the book, the maids of big families have the most no human rights, and they can't help themselves in life and death, "Why not?" ”

"This ...... The slave doesn't know! I just remember that I saw a maid inadvertently mention lotus fragrance in front of Mrs. Hui, and Mrs. Hui was really angry, and punished the maid for kneeling for two hours. Later, no one dared to mention lotus incense anymore. ”

It seems that this lotus fragrance is indeed not to be seen by Aunt Hui. But why did she die strangely, and after her death, her ghost still lingered and became a resentful spirit?

Could it be that her death has something to do with Aunt Hui?

Seeing that there was no more useful information in Lan Xinyuan, Su Qi had no choice but to comfort Mu Yunxuan, saying that her aunt's life would be fine for a while, and she would definitely think of a solution to the resentful spirit lotus incense.

Mu Yunxuan was not in a high mood and said that she would accompany her aunt for a while, so Su Qi went out of Lanxin Garden by herself.

Regarding Lianxiang and Aunt Hui, you have to find an insider to ask clearly. Su Qi thought as she walked, but there were few people she knew in this huge palace, who did she want to ask?

Ask Mu Yunsong? As soon as Su Qi had this thought, he was pushed down by himself.

For some reason, since he heard him say the horrific torture in his usual tone outside his study in the morning, Su Qi was a little timid about him and didn't want to talk to him from the bottom of his heart.

Now he is the king of Beijing under one person and above ten thousand people, holding the power of life and death, and one thought can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people, no longer in Dongfeng Town, the Su pill who hunts and chops wood every day, and occasionally pretends to be a Taoist priest to earn silver for her.

In Su Qi's heart, there was a high mountain between him and her, he stood on the top of the mountain overlooking all living beings, and at the foot of the mountain, she sore her neck, and she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Su Qi suddenly felt a little sad, and sat down on a stone well railing in the courtyard in a dejected manner, holding her cheeks stunned, thinking about whether Princess Beijing, who was under a lot of pressure on her, whether she should continue to pretend.

was out of his mind, but suddenly felt an itch in his feet, and looked down......

"Roasted wheat!" Su Qi was pleasantly surprised, and reached out to pick up her tiger son and lift him high, but found that this little guy had gained weight after not seeing him for a few days, and she couldn't hold it anymore!

"You follow your father, the food is very good!" She held the tiger cub's two front paws and lectured it with a smile and anger, "Little thing without conscience! Do you know at a young age that you hate the poor and love the rich? ”

Roasted wheat let out a flattering "Mi woo", stuck out his tongue to lick her face, licking her to "giggle" and laugh, "Okay, okay, I forgive you!" ”

"Is this your tiger?"

Su Qi heard a familiar voice coming, looked up and saw Mu Yunmei standing not far away looking at her, quickly put down the tiger's paws, and got up a little sneeringly: "Mu Gongzi ......"

Yesterday, it was Mu Gongzi who kindly brought her here, but she was angry after seeing Mu Yunsong at a glance, and started directly, and then after a series of unbelievable plot turns, she ...... successfully forgot about Mu Gongzi.

"Don't you dare to call it that, it will torment me!" The expression on Mu Yunmei's face was quite unnatural, "Now, should I respect you as a princess, or call you...... Sister-in-law? ”

He said in a strange tone, she listened to it awkwardly, and in vain evoked the sad thing, she couldn't help sighing, hung her head and said: "Mu Gongzi don't want to laugh, you see me up and down, what point does I look like a princess?" ”

As soon as she said this, Mu Yunmei was stunned: Listening to this tone, Miss Su is not very willing to marry her eldest brother......

He struggled with his heart for a day and a night, quickly rekindled a little flame, and quickly sat down beside her: "Then what happened yesterday?" ”

Su Qi thought that Mu Yunmei was Mu Yunsong's younger brother, so she was naturally not an outsider, so she simply briefly described her acquaintance with Mu Yunsong, her experience in Dongfeng Town, and Mu Yunsong's farewell.

"So, when I suddenly saw him yesterday, I was naturally shocked and angry, and I didn't think about it, but at that time he was entangled with his mother about the marriage of the Xia family, and I was so unfortunate that I was pulled to be a backrest." Su Qi knocked his head in annoyance, "I'm just screaming, I can't live if I do my own evil!" ”

"I see." Mu Yunmei roughly reasoned about Su Qi's story in her heart: she saved her eldest brother's life, and the eldest brother naturally wanted to repay the favor, so she left her in the palace in the name of her fiancée, and also pushed off the marriage of the Xia family by the way...... It's killing two birds with one stone.

As for the relationship between the two...... He glanced at Su Qi, who had "mourning" written on his face: Miss Su seems to be not so willing to be a princess, as for her eldest brother, she is ten years older than Miss Su, and she is like an uncle, and the generation gap is there, how can she be true to a little girl?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunmei's mood immediately turned gloomy, and she turned around to comfort Su Qi and said, "The princess is not a princess, it's just an expedient measure." You will live in the palace with peace of mind, I said that I would take you to eat all over Guangning City, and I will not break my word! ”

When it came to eating, Su Qi was a little interested: Yes, in the huge Guangning City, I haven't even eaten the girl, how can I give up halfway?

Mu Yunmei saw that Su Qi's face was a little better, so she chatted with her for a while, and asked her if she had any difficulties in the palace and needed his help.

Su Qi naturally remembered Aunt Hui's matter, so he asked, "Do you know that there was a maid in the house named Lianxiang?" ”

She asked casually, expecting that in the huge palace, there are not 1,000 but 800 maids, how can the dignified fifth master pay attention to a maid.

When clinker Mu Yunmei heard the name "Lianxiang", her face changed, she raised her eyes and looked around, and Fang asked in a low voice, "How do you know about Lianxiang?" ”

His secretive appearance made Su Qi more and more curious: This lotus fragrance is still an important person in the palace? After thinking about it, he said: "I just went to visit Aunt Hui with Mu Yunxuan, and I heard the maid who was waiting next to her say that Aunt Hui always chanted Lianxiang's name in her sleep two days ago, and she was afraid to say 'don't kill me'. Mu Yunxuan felt strange, but the people of Lan Xinyuan couldn't tell about Lianxiang. ”

Mu Yunmei thought for a while, looked around and saw that there was no one, Fang leaned close to Su Qi's ear, and lowered her voice: "Xuan'er is young, so naturally she won't let her know about such things." This lotus incense matter can be regarded as a secret of the Mu family. ”

"Oh?" Su Qi immediately became interested.

"Lianxiang was originally a waiter girl next to my mother, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she came, but she was born delicate and beautiful, and she was a clever and eye-catching character, which was deeply loved by my mother.

I served by my mother's side for more than a year, and one night, my father and his colleagues drank wine and stayed alone in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the government office...... This girl took the opportunity to climb into my father's bed. ”

Talking about her father's gossip made Mu Yunmei really embarrassed, but Su Qi had a pair of bright eyes, "And then?" ”

"According to Lianxiang herself, my father promised her a title afterwards, and she waited with great anticipation to be raised as an aunt. Predicting that the world was impermanent, and soon after, my father ...... Assassinated. ”

"Huh?!" Su Qi couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then added, "You mourn." ”

"That was six years ago. My father died, and the promise to Lianxiang naturally could not be fulfilled. My mother, who was already angry with her, was even more displeased at this time, so she sent her to Aunt Hui casually.

Later, I heard that Aunt Hui didn't like her very much, but arranged for her to do some rough work. This girl has the heart to climb the high branches but is unlucky, she has been like this for the rest of her life, and four years ago, she caused a big incident. ”

This lotus fragrance has a very strong ability to cause trouble...... Su Qi couldn't help but sigh: "What's the big deal?" ”

"At that time, it was the third year of my father's death, and he had to do a lot of white things according to the routine, and his comrades-in-arms came to pay tribute, including my father's best friend during his lifetime, and he was the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was a brother in life and death, Helian You.

My father, the king, and Uncle Helian have guarded the northern border together for more than 20 years, and they have been born and died countless times, and their feelings are extraordinary. However, the untimely death of my father, Wang, made Uncle Helian feel like a brother and sister, and he was very sad. Therefore, after the memorial, Uncle Helian stayed in the palace again to see things and think about people.

At that time, my eldest brother and second brother were leading an army to the west to conquer the Uighurs, so my third brother and others accompanied Uncle Helian to drink a few glasses of wine.

My mother didn't take it seriously, clinker, and someone hurriedly came to report it the next morning, saying that the Marquis of Helian died naked in the guest room, beside him...... There is still a lotus fragrance lying on the inch! ”

"Huh?!" Su Qi's eyes widened immediately: a Hou Ye who came to mourn, and a maid who was unwilling...... You can't beat it with eight poles!

The mother immediately blocked the news, and while calling the doctor to see Uncle Helian, she woke up Lianxiang and brought her for interrogation.

However, when the doctor came, Uncle Helian had been dead for a long time, and the corpse was cold, so he was naturally powerless to return to the sky. And the doctor and the servant who were invited to check it, there were no injuries on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning, such as ......" Mu Yunmei touched her nose with some embarrassment, coughed lightly, "Died of overindulgence." ”

Belch...... Su Qi swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to evaluate this Hou Ye who didn't play according to the routine, "It's really ...... It's miserable! What about Lotus Fragrance? And how did he die? ”

Lianxiang has been in a daze since she woke up, and she doesn't seem to be very conscious. asked her about the matter with the Marquis of Helian, and she didn't know anything, only talking about wrongdoing. Mu Yunmei sighed, "The dignified Dingyuan Marquis died violently in the Beijing Palace, the Hou Mansion naturally refused to give up, and the Hou Lady brought someone to the door to ask the teacher, at that time, my eldest brother was not at home, and my mother had to hand over the culprit of 'seducing the Hou Ye' to the Hou Mansion in order to calm the matter." ”

Su Qi couldn't help but shake his head: "Doesn't that mean that Lianxiang has been pushed to a dead end?" ”
