Chapter 22: Cover-up
Guan Yong walked in with a dark face, and Zhang Si hurriedly walked over to greet him.
Guan Yong didn't appreciate it, walked straight to the kang screen, and was about to open his mouth, when he caught a glimpse of the painting on it, his eyes straightened instantly, and he was silent for a long time.
"Aunt Guan, Zhang Caixia knows that she is guilty, and the law is not strict, so she begs her aunt to punish her." Zhang Sishe knelt down in front of her.
As if he hadn't seen her, Guan Yong stared at the calmness in front of him and asked, "What's going on?" I know that as soon as you enter the division, the matter of this painting will fall on you, will someone want to frame you? ”
"Aunt Mingjian! Leng Si set her up as a person sent by the Queen Mother herself, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to frame her even if they had ten thousand guts. Zhang Si set up a heavy kowtow and said loudly.
Guan Yong didn't pay attention to her discernment, just staring at her calm reaction.
"Aunt Guan is too careful, it may be that a sister wants to make a joke with Calm, thanks to Aunt Guan's help, otherwise Calm would have been in a different place by now."
Bow calmly.
Guan Yong snorted coldly: "You're not afraid of death, this kind of joke can play with the dead, do you know?" As long as you tell who wants to frame you, I promise to tie her up to the execution department, and I will never stop without asking the truth! ”
"It's a trivial matter, it's not worth my aunt's anger, not to mention that it's been done now." Calmly smiled.
"Fart! When the day of the birthday can really make the Queen Mother happy, it will be done. Guan Yong roared: "Who is the Queen Mother?" What battle haven't you seen? It will surprise her, unless she plucks the stars in the sky and gives them to her! ”
"How about the slave and maid take the stars from the sky and give them to her?" Said calmly and calmly.
Guan Yong exhaled heavily, narrowed his eyes, and glared at her twice.
This woman is really strange, Guan Yong felt that she was different from ordinary people from the first time he saw her in the Huanyi Bureau.
She seems to have a cold-blooded calmness and composure that ordinary people don't have.
Nothing seemed to make her lose her mind, or change her calm countenance in the slightest.
She was like a statue in a shrine, always so calm and relaxed, as if nothing in this world could hold her back.
"Pluck the stars from the sky? You're such a madman! Guan Yong sneered.
"Aunt Guan, give me two days, two days later, at night, Aunt Lao will go again, and by then, calm has taken off the stars in the sky and placed them in this kang screen." said calmly.
Guan Yong swallowed his saliva, took a step back, and used his heart a little more, staring at the calm face without the slightest expression.
Even Zhang Sishe couldn't help swallowing his saliva, changing his face with curiosity, thinking that this calmness was either suffering from madness, or it was a god in the world.
"Calm down, Hugh is not ashamed, I will give you two days, if you can't pick the stars in the sky by then, Hugh blames me for being ruthless and will smelt you!
You think it out for yourself, or hand over the rebellious thief who painted this picture of the phoenix crying blood now, I know that this matter must have nothing to do with you, you have just entered the division, and you will not kill yourself. ”
Guan Yong's face was serious, and he said coldly.
"I'll see you in two days, and I ask my aunt to calm down and give me a chance to calm down and continue to do it in the Division." Bow down calmly.
When Guan Yong heard this, he sighed and threw his sleeves away.
Zhang Sishe sent her away, turned back, pulled her sleeve, and asked impatiently: "Are you crazy, do you want to ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to take a look?" Pluck the stars from the sky?
Don't you want to put a bronze mirror on the kang screen to reflect the stars? Don't play this kind of child's trick, the Queen Mother not only doesn't like it, but will blame you for being too boring! ”
"Si Shi Adult, calm is not a child, how can you play a child's trick." Calmly replied slowly, picked up the brush and carefully traced the phoenix on the kang screen.
Zhang Sishe sighed helplessly, shook his head, sat down on the chair, pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and ordered someone to call Kong Lingci over.
Kong Lingci walked over with a haughty look on his face, without the slightest hint of fear.
"You did this?" Zhang Sishe asked sharply.
"Master Si, do you have any evidence?" Kong Lingci asked coldly.
Zhang Si set a sigh, and his voice was a little weak: "When Meiling left the Si set room last night, I saw you painting this kang screen, you are the last person to contact this picture, it is very suspicious!" ”
"I'm the last to leave, but who can guarantee that no one will come in after I leave? The key to the company's room is one for each of the sisters in the division.
If this is also evidence, then aren't all the sisters in the division suspicious? ”
Kong Lingci sneered.
"Si Shi, Ling Ci is not such a person, I'm sure she didn't make this painting." Calmly interjected.
Zhang Sishe sighed in annoyance, stomped his feet, and shouted: "I don't care, since you have the ability to pick the stars to make the Queen Mother happy, it depends on your ability." ”
After speaking, he got up and walked into the inner room quickly, and closed the door with a "bang".
Kong Lingci stared at his calm face, and his voice was cold: "You should have doubted me, why didn't you say your suspicions?" ”
Calmly shrugged his shoulders: "You also said it, I don't have evidence that you did it." ”
"If you tell the truth to Zhang Sishe or Aunt Guan, they will undoubtedly think that I did it." Kong Lingci said.
"My principles are different from yours, I follow the principle of innocence beyond doubt, since I have no evidence to prove that you did it, then believe that you are innocent, unless I can find evidence to prove that it was you who did it." Calmly adjusting the color, he said slowly.
Kong Lingci showed a self-deprecating smile on his face: "Calm down, in so many years, the first time I have seen such a calm woman as you, you are simply not human, I thought that no human being can do you so calmly." ”
"That's because you've seen too few people." said calmly, twisting his eyebrows slightly: "Ling Ci, you say, is the peony stamen light yellow or dark yellow?" ”
Kong Lingci stared at her face and didn't speak.
Calm didn't seem to mind, adjusted the color, and began to paint the peony stamens.
"Calm down, I'll tell you a secret, with this secret for self-defense, even Zhang Sishe won't dare to do anything to you." Ling Ci suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear.
Calmly leaned to the side, freed up a hand to pick his ears, and smiled calmly like water: "It's better that you are the only one who knows such a secret, and there are more people who know, isn't it called a secret?" ”
Sun Lingci changed his face with a look of surprise.
At this time, a few female histories were chattering, walking in hand in hand, seeing Kong Lingci, they laughed together: "Sister Kong is still here, so it's easy for us to find it, go and take a look at the jewelry box we made, and see who can get the first." ”
Kong Lingci agreed and followed them out.
Calmly exhaled, with a bitter smile in his heart, he could finally be quiet.
The Huanyi Bureau is not peaceful, and it is not necessarily too peaceful here.
Those who refused to let her go still refused to let her go.
I can just guess from Kong Lingci's attitude that this painting should not be her ghost.
The heart that was calm and hung down was two points, it was right to enter the palace, at least here, the people who wanted to kill her did not dare to blatantly kill like in the Huanyi Bureau.
And the little ghost who hides in the dark and harms people is calm and never afraid.
A handsome and handsome man walked into the courtyard of the division with a medicine box on his back, full of vicissitudes of life.
The female Shi who was working in the yard suddenly gathered around, pulled his shirt with a smile, dragged his medicine box, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Jiang, my head has been hurting recently, is there a good way to cure it?" ”
"Imperial Doctor Jiang, Imperial Doctor Jiang, my eyes have been bad recently, and I always itch, is there a cure for it?"
"Imperial Doctor Jiang, you seem to have lost weight again, are you sick? I have the Heavenly King's Life Preservation Pill here, which was rewarded by the Queen Mother, so I will give it to you. ”
。。。。。。
Calmly looked at him through the window, and a warm smile unconsciously hung on the corner of his mouth.
In the face of a warm person, even if her heart is cold, she can't help but feel a warm current, just like now, although she is still immersed in the worry about her future fate, but when she sees this person, she can't help but feel that her heart is suddenly happy.
Jiang Ming finally finished dealing with the people in the courtyard, and walked up the steps to knock on the door one by one, until the female historian in the courtyard scolded him for being pedantic and came over to open the door for him, and he walked in with serious steps.
"Imperial Doctor Jiang." Calmly put down the paintbrush in his hand and come over to salute him.
Jiang Ming was also serious, and said with a straight face: "Leng Si set up yesterday to summon the lower officials over, after the lower officials came over, I waited for a long time and didn't see the secretary come back, just when Concubine Qiu was called, I had to go over and look at her for a long time, it was late at that time, and it was inconvenient to come, so I had to wait for today to come over, and I hope that the secretary will not be surprised." ”
Calm suddenly turned into a happy heart, and in his serious words, it slowly cooled down again.
She knows that she shouldn't be happy, there is no so-called bullshit love in this world, everyone just lives for themselves.
To live is for oneself, and to die is for oneself.
What you see is only your own sadness, and what you pass by is only your own sadness.
"I'm already well, thank you Imperial Doctor Jiang for this trip." Said in a calm and calm tone.
"It's so good, if you feel unwell again, go to the duty room to find me, I've been on duty for half a month." Jiang Ming made a series of farewells and walked out.
"Imperial Doctor Jiang is good to go, don't send it." Calm said calmly behind him.
Jiang Ming didn't seem to hear it, closed the door with a "squeak", and disappeared into his calm eyes.
————————————
Renshou Palace, the Queen Mother's dormitory.
Empress Dowager Liu was crooked on the kang, drinking wolfberry kidney soup, and listening to Guan Yong's talk about the establishment of the division.
"I knew that they wouldn't let Calm stay there, and they would definitely try their best to harm her, but they would try to plug my mouth and let me dispose of my own people, but I could only eat Huanglian dumbly, and I couldn't say anything about my suffering."
Empress Dowager Liu said with a look of disgust.
"The ancestor is wise, and the slave knows that there is nothing to hide from the ancestor." Guan Yong said with a smile and flattery.
"According to what you say, calm down she just said nonsense in order to cover up that picture? The mourning family is only afraid that her surprise will not be enough surprise, and when the time comes, she will make people laugh, and she will not be able to stay in the Shanggong Bureau, and it will be in vain for us to work hard. Empress Dowager Liu said again.
"And okay, old ancestor, this girl actually said wildly, saying that she wanted to pluck the stars in the sky and give them to the Queen Mother." Guan Yong said with a smile.
When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, shook her head and said, "Won't it be another bronze mirror to reflect the stars?" When the mourning family is three years old, they will play this little trick. ”
"When the time comes, the old ancestor will just pretend to be a surprise and come out, why embarrass her seriously, at that time, she can come up with ideas to cover up the past, which is good for her age and qualifications." Guan Yong said with a smile.
