Chapter 9: The Situation of the Palace

Qing Rong was a maid who was bought into the palace at a very young age, when she was only eleven years old, and her sister Bai Rong, who was a year younger than her, was bought by the old housekeeper from the traffickers.

Qingrong and Bairong are the daughters of merchants, and their father does some small business, and their lives are not rich, but they are sufficient. One year, my father somehow got married to a group of business friends, and under the influence of business friends, my father decided to make a big deal. But it was this transaction that caused my father not only to lose all his money, but also to owe a huge debt. My father wanted to find a business friend theory, where is there still a business friend, those residences have long been empty, and my father suddenly realized that he had been deceived.

The father couldn't bear such a blow, and a white silk hung on the beam, leaving his wife behind. The mother and her two children survived for several days and disappeared. The two young children were targeted by traffickers, and the old housekeeper saw that the two couldn't bear it, so he took the two back to the palace.

At first, when I came to the palace, because the two were young, they only did some light work, and in their spare time, the older maids in the palace would also teach the two to read and write. There is an aunt in the house, a pair of skillful hands can shape the mud into various shapes, lifelike, and some sisters can make sugar paintings, which are beautiful and delicious.

Although they are subordinates in the house, the prince is gentle, the old housekeeper is kind, and their lives are also very easy. Green velvet and white velvet grow up gradually in such days.

The old butler was getting older and older, and his body was getting worse day by day, and his attitude towards his subordinates suddenly changed from kind to stern. Everyone knows that the old housekeeper wants to find someone who can replace him, but I don't know if he is too demanding, or everyone is incompetent, and no one is as he wishes.

Until one day, the old butler picked up a woman from outside the palace. The woman was covered in scars, and when she picked it up, she was dying, and she only had half a breath left. He said that he was beaten by his family to do this, and when he saw her fall at the gate of the palace, he turned his back. The prince glanced at it and didn't say anything, and asked the doctor to take a good look, and if he was saved, he could stay in the palace, and there was no way to save him.

At that time, even the doctor said that this girl's life was thin and it was difficult to return to heaven. But miraculously, she actually walked back from the ghost gate. Every day the high fever did not go away, the wound was inflamed, she survived, and the old housekeeper said straight that this girl was determined.

When she woke up, she had a high fever burning her memory, her name, her parents, her siblings...... Nothing to remember. The old housekeeper named her Lingyue, and since then, Lingyue has followed the old housekeeper to do things.

Lingyue is down-to-earth and calm, and quite efficient, even the heart of an old housekeeper. In everyone's eyes, Sister Lingyue is excellent, beautiful, and kind, and she is also the next housekeeper in everyone's hearts.

A few months later, the old housekeeper left the house and returned to his hometown, and Lingyue naturally took over the affairs of the Qing Palace.

It was only then that she revealed her true face.

One day, Bai Rong sent the account book to Lingyue, but saw Lingyue whipping the maid with a whip. The maid's mouth was sealed, covered in wounds, and blood all over the ground. Bai Rong was so frightened that he hid, and saw Lingyue actually ...... He beat the maid to death. She threw the whip and asked people to throw the maid out nonchalantly, saying that she would buy another one tomorrow.

After the venue was cleaned up and there was no blood, Bai Rong walked over and forcibly gave her the account book calmly.

Lingyue didn't know that she had seen this scene, and after reading the account book, she explained a few words, and let Bai Rong leave. Bai Rong couldn't help it, and then almost ran back to the house. She knew that even if she said it, not many people would believe it, and she might even invite death, so she only told me. Later, Bai Rong learned that the maid who was beaten to death by Lingyue accidentally splashed on her body when she was just serving tea, but she thought that the maid had been displeased with her for a long time and did it on purpose.

I didn't believe it at first, how could Sister Lingyue be such a person. Until one time, Bai Rong secretly took me to Lingyue's residence, and saw Lingyue suffocating a maid in a wine vat.

And Lingyue also recruited a group of subordinates who worked for the tiger in the palace. The situation in the house gradually became, Lingyue faction of demons in sheep's clothing; Uninformed ordinary people, they are often victims; unaware but famous, such as Aunt Buchen and Sister Suo'er, Lingyue often looks low and pleasing to the eye in front of them; The rest are a few people who know, but Lingyue doesn't know that they know, and lives in fear every day.

When Qingrong said this, she told Nie Suisui everything she knew. I saw Nie Suisui holding his chin, his brows tightened, and his face was deep. But her gaze was as sharp as a hidden blade, as if she was about to tear someone apart.

"Who are the people in the know?" Her voice was cold and angry.

Qingrong replied: "They are all sisters who have a good relationship with slaves and maids, including Bai Rong, Hibiscus and Qiu Lian." ”

"In the future, you will all come to me and be my maids."

Qingrong said gratefully: "Thank you, princess!" ”

"What you just said, Buchen and Suo'er, what's so good?"

"Aunt Buchen and Sister Suo'er used to be palace maids in the palace, and they have followed the prince since they were children, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Nie Suisui looked thoughtful, and Qingrong said: "Don't worry, princess, Lingyue doesn't dare to attack Aunt Buchen and Sister Suo'er. ”

"Not necessarily." Nie Suisui said, "Qingrong, you go and call the people you said to me now, and I will go to find the prince, although he will definitely agree, but I have to talk to him." ”

In addition, you also need to bring someone with you.

At this time, the night was shrouded, the sky was dark and gloomy, and there was not a single star. Only the moon, obscured by clouds, shone faintly.

The study of Yunnan Yao was lit with a lamp, and Nie Suisui could still hear the sound of reactionary scrolls inside outside. She pushed the door open and walked in softly.

Yunnan Yao glanced up at her, lowered his head and wrote, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I want to see you." Nie Suisui walked up to him and squeezed his shoulder.

"Aren't you still in a hurry to push me away in the evening, and you're thinking about this king now?"

"Can't you?" Nie Suisui's hand strength was just right, and he was very comfortable to pinch.

She caught a glimpse of Yunnan Yao's handwriting, neatly stroked, and at first glance it was written to the imperial court. She saw the word "human trafficker" on it, this kind of shady business of human traffickers has existed since ancient times, and it has become more and more rampant in recent years, it seems that the emperor wants to make a good living.

Seeing her pondering, Yunnan Yao asked: "The princess thinks that if you want to rectify it, where should you start?" ”

"This kind of deal exists in all countries, and if it can last for so long, there must be a backer behind it. Arresting people and sentencing them are all small minions, finding out the situation, laying a big net, catching them all, and uprooting them all is naturally the best policy. ”

Yunnan Yao cast an approving gaze: "Not bad." ”
