Chapter 12: Investigation

Everyone was not very sad when they saw Zhao Qingxiang, who was the mother-in-law, except for Mama Li, they all thought about it in the direction of the evil spirit, and they all wondered where the lady got the little brother's body.

After all, the gate of Xiyuan is always locked, and they have no doubt that the little brother can sneak out.

After that, Qiu Tang Haitang and Sun Mama didn't dare to go into any room alone for a long time, or go out of the room alone at night.

Mama Li is the only one who is always secretly worried about her young lady.

A few days later, when Zhao Qingxiang was wandering around the harem again, he met a six- or seven-year-old girl, dressed as a palace maid, lying on the edge of the lotus pond with a dying breath.

She hurriedly took the little girl back to Xiyuan.

Haitang, Qiutang and the two grandmothers saw a wet little girl brought in by Zhao Qingxiang from outside, and their faces immediately turned white with fright.

Zhao Qingxiang explained lightly: "Gonggong Wu forgot to close the door again this time, I wanted to go out to find Xuan'er, and I accidentally bumped into her, so I brought her back." ”

The two maids thought to themselves: Grandpa Wu forgot to lock the door, why haven't I encountered it once?

Mama Sun was also suspicious, but the master did come in from outside the gate, so she couldn't believe it.

Mama Li persuaded: "Miss, there is one more child in this Xiyuan for no reason, I'm afraid of ......!" ”

Zhao Qingxiang was unusually calm: "What are you afraid of?" The sky is falling, and I'm still there! But you are not allowed to stretch out, you know? ”

Everyone hurriedly promised not to talk nonsense.

Zhao Qingxiang closed the room to open up the veins for the little girl, and the little girl woke up and turned around.

As soon as she saw Zhao Qingxiang, she said, "Niangniang, save me!" They're going to beat me to death! ”

It turned out that the little girl's name was Ji'er, she was eight years old this year, her father died early, and she was sold into the palace by her uncle.

Originally, she was assigned to Concubine Chen's palace, but that day, the fourth princess accidentally broke a Jingde blue and white porcelain vase sent by the emperor.

Concubine Chen and the fourth princess were afraid that the emperor would blame her, so they slandered her and said that she had broken it, and the two asked the eunuch to beat her up and throw her into the lotus pond.

Maybe she didn't deserve to die, but she was awakened by the cold water in the pool. Fortunately, she knew some water, struggled to swim to the edge of the lotus pond, and when she climbed to the shore, she could no longer support it, and then fainted, and when she woke up again, she was here.

Zhao Qingxiang asked curiously: "Why do you call chickens?" ”

The little girl said gloomily: "The slave maid was originally called Xiaoya, and now the name is taken by the fourth princess, she said that she likes chickens, so she gave the slave maid the name chicken!" ”

Zhao Qingxiang thought indignantly: How can this father and daughter lack virtue more than the other!

She asked the little girl if she wanted to go back.

The little girl shook her head, then knelt in front of Zhao Qingxiang and begged: "Madam, please save the slave!" The slave doesn't want to go back! ”

Looking at the little girl's poignant eyes, Zhao Qingxiang remembered his cute little daughter, did her daughter have the same eyes as this girl at this time?

She lovingly hugged the little girl into her arms, and said lovingly: "This is the cold palace, once you come in, it will be difficult to get out!" ”

The little girl leaned on Zhao Qingxiang's arms and said softly: "No, I have no home, my wife is my family, I won't go anywhere!" Here I am with my wife. ”

"Then I'll give you a name, right?" Zhao Qingxiang looked at the little girl's clear eyes. laughed: "Look at you look as crystal clear as a pearl, otherwise it's called a pearl, right?" ”

"Hmm!" The little girl said happily, "I have a name!" Pearl? Pearl! Madame, I love the name! ”

Zhao Qingxiang looked at her with a smile and advised: "In the future, you can hide in my room for the time being!" Don't make a noise when someone comes, you know? ”

Pearl nodded happily, "Got it, ma'am!" ”

Who knew that the next day, after the gate of Xiyuan was opened, several eunuchs walked in, pointing and saying that they wanted to see the two little brothers.

When everyone heard this, they only responded, but they were so anxious that they wanted to die.

Zhao Qingxiang wondered if it was the emperor who wanted to verify again whether his two sons were fools, right?

She calmly let the two grandmothers serve tea first.

Then he came out and explained to Begonia.

Haitang pretended to be calm and brought in Xiao Jingqi and saluted several eunuchs: "The little brother is sleeping, and the lady told him to go." ”

When Xiao Jingqi saw a few people coming, he was so frightened that he hid behind Haitang, not daring to look at the eunuchs.

After only a moment, he shouted, "Pee! Pee! As soon as he opened his mouth, his saliva went straight down.

Haitang hurriedly confessed his guilt to everyone, and then left with Xiao Jingqi.

As soon as he went out, Zhao Qingxiang was already guarding the door, and the two hurriedly changed his clothes and rubbed his hair.

After doing all this, Qiu Tang came over and walked in with him again.

Anyway, they are twins, and they are not afraid that those eunuchs will see through it for a while.

Xiao Jingqi, who entered the door again, saw that the eunuchs were staring at him strangely again, he was a little bolder this time, but he smiled wickedly at everyone, and put his thumb into his mouth by the way.

As soon as Zhao Qingxiang walked in, he deliberately asked, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

Mama Li hurriedly replied: "Haitang led him to make it convenient!" ”

Zhao Qingxiang nodded and turned to Qiu Tang: "Can you take the little brother down?" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Qiu Tang disappearing at the door with Xiao Jingqi's figure, Zhao Qingxiang asked: "I don't know how many fathers-in-law are coming, but what's the matter?" ”

Gonggong Wu on the side hurriedly got up: "The emperor thinks of the two little brothers, and specially orders our family to take a look!" ”

Zhao Qingxiang tried his best to pretend to be very happy, and praised the two children as much as possible: "Please trouble these fathers-in-law to go back and tell the emperor, just say that the two little brothers are not stupid, they are just honest and don't like to talk." They were still reciting their father's ...... yesterday."

Zhao Qingxiang praised her hard, but several eunuchs were not in the mood to listen to her nonsense, so they hurriedly got up and left.

Zhao Qingxiang pretended to be in a hurry and chased them to the door. I heard one of the eunuchs whispering: "The emperor asked us to take a look, but I didn't expect these two fools to be the same ......." ”

"Yes! I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't want to hear from them again in the future. ”

"Leave him alone, we just need to act according to the emperor's will."

“………”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingxiang's heart was overjoyed: Since the old man is dead, he can live here with peace of mind from now on.

Mama Li was very depressed: "Miss, if the little brother hadn't disappeared, maybe they would have let us out when they saw that the little brother was a normal child." ”

"Impossible!" Zhao Qingxiang was categorical: "The little brother is a normal child, but what about the eldest brother?" Besides, just like Xuan'er, in this cold-hearted palace, how long do you think he can live?

And in order to let others no longer explore the life experience of the little brother, and in order to let the little brother forget the relatives in the Xiyuan as soon as possible, I am afraid that the day the little brother leaves the gate of the Xiyuan, I am afraid that it will be the time to destroy our mouth! ”

After Zhao Qingxiang's analysis, everyone gasped. All of them have changed from the original complaint to the current fear.

In order to pretend to be more like, Zhao Qingxiang simply dressed up Pearl as a boy, wearing Xiao Jingxuan's costume, and opened another room for her.

and everyone in Xiyuan as a cover, Wu Gonggong sometimes encountered, although it was strange that the two twin brothers looked very different, but they did not suspect that Xiao Jingxuan had been transferred.

When everyone saw that the little brother was gone, his mother was not in a hurry, and after secretly worrying and sighing for a few days, they were still busy with their own work.
