Chapter Seventy-Three: Secret Investigation in the Mansion
"Girl." Ah Jing came in with a bowl of soup, and looked at Tong Yuqing and stopped talking. The bamboo clouds in the back followed in, and a pair of eyes looked at all the corners of the room seemingly casually.
Tong Yuqing sneered secretly, fortunately Yu Chong had already left, otherwise if they bumped into each other at this time, I was afraid that they would both die.
Zhuyun smiled and brought the soup from Ah Jing's hand to her, "It just so happens that the prince rewarded some snow swallows last night, the girl tastes them first, if it doesn't suit her appetite, the slave maid will ask someone to get it." ”
This is something that the lady of a rich family drinks every day, but she Tong Yuqing has never tasted it. When I was young, I ate what children ate. When she grew up, she was even more unhappy, and even when she got married, she never tasted this thing.
Looking at Zhuyun and Ah Jing, Tong Yuqing mocked herself from the bottom of her heart. She has been married to Yu Chong for so long, and she doesn't even have a girl around to serve. But in a moment, she was relieved, she went to Yu's Mansion to take revenge, and it was also an accident to meet Yu Chong, what are you doing so much.
Could it be that after only a few days in the Seven Kings' Mansion, she became hypocritical?
"Girl?" Zhu Yun saw the uncertain look on her face, and pondered in her heart a few times, so she couldn't help but remind. "Isn't the girl hungry, try it, this snow swallow is about to get cold."
Tong Yuqing only picked up the spoon and tasted it before putting it down, "It's too sweet." ”
Zhuyun put the things away, "The slave maid asked someone to get another bowl." ”
She shook her head and said, "Don't toss, I don't want to eat sweet food at this time, I'm so tired that I don't have any appetite." ”
Zhuyun looked at the well-boiled snow swallow in the bowl, and quietly handed it to Ah Jing next to him.
The cooks in the palace are all old chefs who came out of the palace, and the emperor and the concubines tasted this taste, and even Cheng Zirui didn't say that there was a problem with this taste, why did Tong Yuqing say that he was tired of it?
Zhuyun looked around again and asked her, "I heard that the girl has taken a fancy to a girl named Xiaolu again, why don't you see that girl waiting in front of you?" ”
Here it comes!
Tong Yuqing sneered in her heart, but her face was calm. "I named her just because I was afraid that she would be punished by your prince. It's okay to have you and Ah Jing in front of me, too many people will be annoying. ”
As soon as she said this, Zhuyun couldn't say anything more. After Tong Yuqing washed and lay down, Zhuyun took Ah Jing and retreated.
Walking a little farther away from the main house, Zhuyun asked Ah Jing: "That one is called Xiao Lu, do you see what she looks like?" ”
Ah Jing thought about it very seriously, shook her head and said, "She kept her head down, I didn't see the whole face clearly, but she looked quite beautiful at a glance." ”
Zhuyun frowned, and his tone was a little stern. "Which girl in the house is not beautiful? What I asked was what you thought was special about her. ”
Special place......
Ah Jing thought about it again and exclaimed: "She is also taller than the average girl, maybe she is wearing green clothes, so her face looks very white." As for the rest...... Although there were lanterns in the courtyard, I couldn't see it clearly for a while. ”
"Green Clothes ......"
Zhuyun knew this in his heart, and told Ah Jing to hurry down and rest, and listen carefully to the movements in Tong Yuqing's house at night. She turned directly into the subordinate room dedicated to serving this courtyard, and called up a bunch of girls who were about to go to bed.
The slaves and maids in the house all have strict ranks, and the lower ones wear dark clothes, and the middle ones wear green, and the higher they go, the more red the color is, and the more fancy the style. In order to prevent someone from deliberately changing his clothes, Zhuyun pointed to the names one by one, and when he called out to one of them, no one answered.
"Find out where the people are."
Everyone in the house knows that Zhuyun is an old man who has been with Cheng Zirui for many years, and now that Ziyue has been heavily punished, Zhuyun is naturally rising, and the girls dare not offend. Zhuyun looks beautiful and well-behaved, but he can give orders, and he also has a bit of the majesty of Cheng Zirui.
In this way, the girls dare not offend even more.
The girls all scattered to find someone, but only one stood in place, looking at the bamboo cloud worriedly, and came for a long time.
"Do you know where she is?"
The little girl was so frightened that she was about to cry. "Today was supposed to be the slave and maid on duty, but she didn't know where she heard the news that the prince would come over tonight, so she had to change the night duty day with the slave and maid. Sister Zhuyun, the slave knows that she needs to inform the palace steward if she wants to change the night, and she knows that it is a capital crime for her to be favored by the prince like this...... Sister Zhuyun, the slave knows that she is wrong. ”
Zhuyun twisted her eyebrows, is she really a girl in the house, just a coincidence? "Then tell me, what does the girl who changed the night with you look like?"
After listening to the little girl's description, Zhuyun was even more puzzled, this appearance was almost the same as what Ah Jing said.
"Sister Zhuyun!"
Two girls ran over in a panic, pointing in a certain direction with pale faces, "People, people have been found." ”
Zhuyun had no doubts, and walked over quickly. There was a well in the room that could fetch water for laundry, and when Zhuyun walked there, he happened to see someone fishing out of the well a man dressed in green.
Zhuyun chuckled in his heart, and walked over quickly.
Although the person is dead, he can still see his appearance clearly, just like Ah Jing, just like the girl just said, she is tall and fair-skinned, and she is also beautiful.
It's just a good person, how did he suddenly die?
Zhuyun turned around suddenly, only to realize that those girls were all far away, and they didn't even dare to look here. She twisted her eyebrows and pointed to the one who had just spoken to her, "You come here to recognize, is it this person?" ”
The little girl was probably frightened, she was supposed to be on duty at night, so she changed people, why did she die. Now the corpse lying there has its eyes wide open, and it looks like it is dead, where does she dare to go over.
The little girl trembled and closed her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, it's her!" That's her! ”
Zhuyun saw that his heart was furious, and he called someone to call Ah Jing over. A moment later, Ah Jing came over and saw a dead man lying on the ground with round eyes, and he was so frightened that he was almost paralyzed on the ground.
"Ah Jing, come over and take a look, is that little green today?"
Ah Jing subconsciously shook her head, "Sister Zhuyun, I'm timid. ”
Zhuyun had a rare cold face and scolded: "Come here!" ”
Ah Jing's heart was cold, and she moved to that side with trembling feet, and after glancing at it carefully, she immediately flashed to the back, nodding again and again like the girl just now, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the person!" ”
Zhu Yun's expression became more and more cold, "Are you perfunctory to me or perfunctory to the prince?" Since you don't want to hear what I say, then I'll go and invite the prince over, and you will always listen to what the prince says. ”
When everyone heard this, they begged Zhuyun again and again not to alarm Cheng Zirui. Zhuyun looked at these girls, and said in his heart that this was Cheng Zirui's order, since Tong Yuqing stood in front of that little green, he had already alarmed Cheng Zirui.
"You, show me one by one, keep your eyes open and look carefully, and if you recognize one clearly, you will give me one of them. If it's still as perfunctory as just now, don't blame me for not talking about friendship. ”
No one here has ever seen Zhuyun look so ruthless, a few timid people immediately cried, and a few of the slightly bolder ones secretly thought that Zhuyun was simply taking advantage of Ziyue's loss of momentum and kicking his nose and face to establish power in their group of girls. It's one thing to think about it, and no one dares to stand up for it.
Everyone's attention was on the corpse, and no one even thought about how the well-behaved Zhuyun could be so calm and indifferent when he saw such a terrifying corpse.
Everyone stopped there to see who had the guts to walk first.
Ah Jing gritted her teeth and walked up first. After a few frightened glances, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and when he turned back, he was afraid that the corpse would also follow him, and his steps were simply fast.
"Sister Zhuyun." Ah Jing's hands were clasped together, hiding the tremor in her hands. She kept her head down, and she couldn't see her face clearly. Looking at it now, there is still a resemblance of seven or eight points.
Zhuyun saw that she was really scared, so he nodded and let her go.
Someone hit the beginning, and the girls in the back were a lot bolder, and after a few girls were confirmed, Zhuyun didn't force the remaining timid ones to come and see.
asked someone to put the body away temporarily, and she hurriedly went to give it to Cheng Zirui.
When Zhuyun arrived, Luo Heng was already inside. According to the rules, Zhuyun saluted first and prepared to retreat, and he could only go in after Luo Heng left, but he didn't expect Cheng Zirui to leave her behind.
Luo Heng glanced at Zhuyun and said to Cheng Zirui: "There is no movement in the Yu Mansion, and his subordinates have even visited Yu Chong's courtyard at night, and there is nothing suspicious at all." ”
Only then did Zhuyun realize that Cheng Zirui was suspicious of Yu Chong. She had heard of Yu Chongsheng's handsomeness, but wasn't he a sick man?
"Did you see Yu Chong with your own eyes?" Cheng Zirui's cold eyes did not have a little temperature in them, and they were cold and scary.
Luo Heng nodded very affirmatively and said, "I saw him lying on the bed with my own eyes, and I also saw his little servant Qing'an serving in front of him." ”
Cheng Zirui frowned invisibly, looked at Zhuyun again and said, "What about you?" ”
Zhuyun said what she had found over there, "Do you want to go over and take a look?" ”
Cheng Zirui raised his cold eyes and swept towards Zhuyun. "Bring it over and show it to the king."
A moment later, someone carried the corpse over, and Zhuyun followed, seeing that her eyes were closed, less terrifying, and showing her original beauty. It's just that although this face is beautiful, it is much worse than Tong Yuqing. Cheng Zirui's gaze only stayed on that face, his gaze went straight down, and finally stopped at her hand.
"It's not."
Zhuyun and Luo Heng were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what he was referring to.
Cheng Zirui stared at that hand and said coldly: "She is not the person this king saw. ”
