Chapter 128: Prison Visit
Half a month later, he calmly regained his health and was able to move freely around the palace.
Zhang stayed in Meifeng Courtyard every night, but he didn't share the bed with her, but moved the bed and quilted the floor.
When I woke up suddenly at night and saw Zhang sleeping on the ground, my calm and cold heart sometimes became soft, and I thought that it would be over, people can't be resurrected after death, so why continue to create evil.
But when the sun rose, she climbed the Moon Tower and saw the city wall in the distance, and the softness in her heart was swept away, replaced by anger and hatred that was about to erupt.
A little eunuch came upstairs with his clothes and called out to Niangniang with a courteous smile.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, nodded, and asked him, "Is the matter done?" ”
"It's done, according to what you said, it is stored in the Hengfeng Silver Account, which is a silver ticket." The little eunuch took out a stack of tickets from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
Calmly took it, took a few and stuffed them back into his hand.
"Niangniang, you have already rewarded the minion, enough." The little eunuch didn't answer, blushed, and excused himself.
"What should be yours is yours, don't push around, won't you call me to use you in the future?" Smiled calmly.
When the little eunuch heard this, he put away the silver ticket, blushed, and smiled excitedly: "Niangniang, if you have any errands, just tell the little one, and the little one will definitely do it for you." ”
"Alright, let's get busy." Calmly waved at him, and the little eunuch responded and walked downstairs by himself.
The little eunuch's name is Xiao Chunzi, who is responsible for going out to buy sundries in the palace, although he moves freely, but his position is humble, and he is bullied in the palace.
Once, because he bought something bad, he was beaten by the head of the execution department at that time, Xia Gonggong, and happened to be met by Calm, who looked at him pitifully, so he stepped forward to ask for a favor for him, and Father-in-law Xia bought a calm face and spared him.
Calm and applied some trauma medicine to treat his injury, this little spring child has been grateful for calm since then, and went to the division on time to greet calm down, and sent a fortune, always to buy some gifts for calm to send over.
Calm didn't care about this matter, after Sima Nan's death, she was revengeful and wanted to use the silver to show people's hearts, but the cash in her hand was too ostentatious, and she was worried that she couldn't find a good way to fold it into a silver ticket, so Xiaochunzi went over to ask her for peace.
Calmly knew that it was convenient for him to leave the palace, so he entrusted the matter to him.
This little Haruko is worried that he can't repay the kindness of calm, and now he sees that he is calm and begs him to do something, he can't ask for it, and calmly let him go out to change the silver ticket a few times, all of which are properly handled, and the questions that should be asked, and the words that should not be asked are not asked, but let the calm and worry-free, and from then on I was relieved to hand over this matter to him.
The eunuch in charge of buying and selling affairs saw that this Xiao Chunzi was deeply loved by the concubine, and in order to please the concubine, he was promoted.
Calmly watched the child go downstairs, tuck the silver ticket into his sleeve, and walk slowly downstairs.
A little comforted in his heart, Xiao Chunzi's child seems to be a reliable one, try him a few more times, if he is still sincere, calm down and hand over more important things to him.
It is true that there is no status when you have money, but if you have more money, you will have more things to buy, and if you buy more things, you will be able to use them one day. After all, there are only a few people in this world who can't get along with money.
In the past, calmness belonged to the kind of people who couldn't get along with money, thinking that money was something outside the body, more or less the same, as long as it was enough to spend it badly.
It's different now, calm and can't wait to conjure up enough million taels of silver for her to squander overnight.
Calmly thinking about things, he stepped into the execution department.
The newly appointed head of the company is the apprentice of the former head of the Xia Gonggong, who knows calm, and also knows that the master had a friendship with this concubine at the beginning, and now when he saw the noble concubine Niangniang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, knelt on the ground, and called Chitose Chitose.
looked at him calmly, told him to get up, and asked him: "I seem to have seen you before, the little eunuch Guixi who followed Gonggong Xia that day?" Now he has become a human being, and he is in charge of big things. ”
"Niangniang has a good memory, isn't it Guixi? Niangniang, please take a seat, and wait for the slave to offer tea for you to drink. Gui Xi smiled and flattered.
"Don't be busy, and I don't dare to delay your work, it's just that I don't see an earring, and I can't find it everywhere, but it was given to this palace when the emperor lived in Jingyue Palace, and I can't find it, this palace is really sad,
Didn't I suddenly think about it today, could it be that Bengong fell into prison for a few days when he was imprisoned? So I came to take a look, try my luck, what if I found it? Calmly frowned slightly, with a sad look on his face.
Seeing this, Guixi was busy making a series and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave will send people to find it in various cells, and as soon as there is news, he will inform the mother, and the mother will just go back and wait for the good news, but I don't know, what does the earrings look like for the mother, can you let the slave take a look?" ”
Calmly ripped off a small purse around his waist, carefully took out an earring from it, handed it to Guixi, and said, "Isn't this one?" Take a closer look. ”
Guixi looked at it seriously and nodded: "The slave has written it down, so I'll help Niangniang find it." ”
"The palace praised Haikou in front of the emperor, saying that the objects he used to give to the palace were all collected by the palace, and there were a lot of pieces, but now there is less of this half, so how can the palace sit still?
This palace wants to go in with your father-in-law to find it, so as not to delay your father-in-law's work? He asked with a calm smile.
Guixi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't delay, naturally don't delay, it's just that the smell inside is pickled, and I'm afraid of smoking the noble body of the mother." ”
Calmly smiled: "I said this, this palace used to be a frequent visitor here, if I could really smoke it, wouldn't I have been out of the account a long time ago?" ”
Guixi smiled, opened the cell door, bowed in front, and led calm into the prison.
Because the new emperor ascended the throne only in March, there are not a few prisoners in this prison, but it is clean, Guixi led the calm to the inside, while laughing in a low voice: "Niangniang, there is no light in here, it is dark all day long, and because the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty prisoners, and clean the cell again, so find your earrings, I am afraid that it is a little difficult, but Niangniang does not need to worry, that is, we can't find it today, the slave will send someone to give you a careful search, the slave believes that the mother is blessed and will be able to find it." ”
"Then you'll have to work for you." Calmly took out a few pieces of broken silver and stuffed them into his hand.
Guixi hurriedly excused himself, claiming that it was his own doing.
Calmly pretended not to be happy: "Your father-in-law, this is looking down on this palace, this palace entrusts you to do things, how can you let you help you in vain like this?" You can rest assured that if you don't take it, is it too little? ”
When Guixi heard this, Fang took the money and took her to the innermost cell where she had lived.
Calmly open your eyes and look at everything in the prison.
There is nothing left, I think it has been thoroughly cleaned, and the walls that were originally black are now painted with new paint, white and dazzling.
There are no windows in this cell, only a little light through the cell door, calmly bury his whole person in the dark, pick up a brocade to cover his nose, as if to cover up the smell of pickles in this prison, and only after a while did he say to Guixi in a thick nasal voice: "Your father-in-law, it's too dark, please light a torch to come in." ”
Guixi responded, walked out, and left her alone in the cell.
Calm tears flowed down like a rain, reaching out to touch the cold wall, and his body couldn't stop trembling, until he heard Guixi's footsteps coming back, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, straightened his chest, and regained his calm.
"Mother, the torches are coming." Guixi walked into the cell with a torch.
Calmly pointed to one of the innermost walls, and said, "Just now I saw a faint flash of light over there, you go over and see what it is." ”
Guixi walked over with a torch, knelt down, took a look, reached into the slight crack in the wall and squeezed for a while, and said happily: "Niangniang, there is really something, it seems to be a gem." ”
"I'll see." Calm down.
Guixi touched the gem out, gave calm, looked at it calmly, sighed, and shook his head.
"Don't worry, even if someone picks it up, the slave can find out this greedy thief, and there are only a few people who clean the cell horizontally and vertically, this earring will definitely not be lost." Guixi smiled earnestly.
"Then look for it again?" Calmly spread his hands and asked.
"It's okay, the slave shines on the mother, you can take a look." Guixi came over and held Calm's hand in one hand, and held a torch in the other, leading Calm to look around.
Suddenly, a small moan was heard from nowhere.
Calmly bluffed, grabbed Guixi's hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is there anyone in this prison?" Scared the hell out of me. ”
"Don't panic, Niangniang, it's just a person who is seriously injured and about to die, ignore him, just let him fend for himself." Guixi said with a smile.
Calmly shook his head, and Pudu sentient beings said: "It's also a human life, since you haven't been executed, you shouldn't die, find a doctor to take a look?" ”
Guixi gave her a thumbs up and boasted: "Niangniang Bodhisattva has a heart, and the slave admires." Only this person is not worth saving, and no doctor dares to come to the rescue, if the mother knows who he is, she will also be disgusted, and she will not mention it. “
Calmly wiped his nose with a brocade hand, and asked softly: "Could it be the father-in-law of the district?" ”
"Niangniang is wise, isn't it him, let's leave him alone, look for it again, if you can't find it, let's leave, I just heard Niangniang cough a few times, I think it's smoked by the smell here."
Guixi smiled.
There were a few more moans, one louder than the other.
Calm and slightly shuddered, and sighed deeply: "Your father-in-law, I am soft-hearted, I really can't hear this kind of voice, besides, Father-in-law Ou didn't want the life of this palace that day, it was just a misunderstanding, although it hurt the dragon seed in my stomach, but it is not unforgivable."
Besides, the emperor cut off one of his arms, which can be regarded as punishment, listening to his moaning voice, I think the wound hurts badly? You take me over to see him, my father-in-law also knows that this palace has some ambiguity techniques, although it can't save his life, but it may be possible to help him stop the pain. ”
When Guixi heard her say this, he was busy praising a few words about the heart of the Niangniang Bodhisattva, and led her to the cell of the detention area.
The cell emitted a burst of rotting stench, and Ou Li lay on his back on the straw on the ground, unkempt and filthy, and looked dying, only a few moans from time to time, probably because of the severe pain of the purulent wound.
Looking at him calmly, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes were bright and sharp, and he reached out and stuffed the brocade into his mouth and bit it tightly.
Guixi, who was holding her on the one hand, thought she was scared, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, let's go, don't worry about it." ”
Calm and seemed to be calm, took two steps back, turned around, took out the package of medicine powder from his sleeve, handed it to Guixi, and said, "You go in and apply this medicine powder to his wound, this medicine powder is the secret recipe of this palace, and it is the most important thing to stop bleeding and build muscles." ”
Gui Xi responded, took the powder, opened the cell door, and walked in.
His calm face turned gloomy and dark.
He wanted to die, how could it be so easy, he didn't suffer all the torture, how could calmness let him die easily!
