Chapter 370: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Xiao Yuqi was no longer too worried about Empress Wei's illness, he was just about to stop Xiao Ningyu and ask her not to be so impulsive, but he heard Luo Qingluan say coldly: "The princess is right, these subordinates just have to take care of it, otherwise if it spreads, others will think that the princess's mansion has no rules." ”
As soon as she heard Luo Qingluan's words, Xiao Ningyu's heart fluttered, and she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Sister Luo is right, I'll go back and take care of these minions." ”
"Wait, I'll go with you." Luo Qingluan said.
What, Luo Qingluan is going with her? Xiao Ningyu suddenly felt that her head was big, but she didn't dare to refuse at all, but she had to squeeze out a smile: "How troublesome Sister Luo, this ......" Seeing Luo Qingluan's fierce gaze sweeping, her frightened heart jumped, and she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, with Sister Luo going with me, those minions must tell the truth obediently." ”
I didn't understand how Luo Qingluan could be interested in a few people in the princess's mansion, Xiao Yuqi only thought about who was poisoning, and seeing that Luo Qingluan was about to leave with Xiao Ningyu, he immediately stopped: "Wait for Miss Luo." ”
Seeing Luo Qingluan turn around, he wanted to speak again and again, and couldn't say it directly in front of Xiao Ningyu: "It's just a few subordinates, Miss Luo, do you really want to go in person?" Suddenly, he frowned and blurted out: "Do you want to ......?"
Seeing the doubts in Xiao Yuqi's heart, Luo Qingluan nodded and walked away from him to avoid letting Xiao Ningyu hear: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, since you have found another suspicious point, you must find out as soon as possible." I immediately rushed back with the princess, because I was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and if something happened to that person, it would be too late. ”
Since it was the identity of the subordinate, it was just a few words, and Luo Qingluan guessed that this person was probably not a very important role. With a chess piece like this, if the other party is really such a ruthless and resolute person as Li Guifei, she will definitely prevent her from showing the news and making a ruthless move, if she goes late, I am afraid that she will not be able to find this person.
Xiao Ningyu didn't know what to do, so she asked her to ask herself, and it was estimated that there would be a problem, in order to avoid a bad move, Luo Qingluan thought about going to a hurry and ending this matter as soon as possible, and she repaid Xiao Yuqi's life-saving grace.
"That'...... Miss Luo, be careful. It was determined that Luo Qingluan was going to help him check, and Xiao Yuqi was very grateful.
Out of the palace, Xiao Ningyu felt more and more worried.
She originally wanted to go into the palace to see the queen mother and care about it, but as soon as she saw Luo Qingluan there, her heart went up and down. The last time I saw her in Ruyi Pavilion, it was also because Luo Qingluan was being bullied, and she happened to help, so she had the courage to show up. Although Luo Qingluan didn't show anything today, and she didn't show her face, Xiao Ningyu just felt wrong.
Anyway, there is the prince's brother, and she can't help much, so she wants to leave under the pretext of going back to teach her subordinates, who knows...... Luo Qingluan actually wanted to follow her?
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Ningyu twisted the corners of her clothes and looked at Luo Qingluan timidly: "Sister Luo, it's just, it's just a few minions, you ...... Don't be too angry, I'll find out who is spreading the news. ”
Thinking about the reason why Luo Qingluan followed her back to the princess's mansion, Xiao Ningyu cautiously tested. If she doesn't figure out the reason, she is weak-hearted, timid, and has no momentum when she speaks! For fear that she would accidentally offend Luo Qingluan again, she would be cleaned up again when the time came, and she would be hungry for three days and three nights, and she would not be able to ask the prince's brother for help.
finally knew the horror of Luo Qingluan, although he didn't kill her, but this kind of torture made Xiao Ningyu even more afraid!
will definitely not tell Xiao Ningyu why he has to follow, and he is too lazy to make up excuses, for Xiao Ningyu, Luo Qingluan directly adopts a rough and unreasonable training method! For this kind of spoiled aristocratic girl, this is the best way.
Glancing at Xiao Ningyu, Luo Qingluan said lightly: "As a princess, you have to lead by example, if you don't even discipline a few people in the mansion well, wouldn't it make people look down on you?" This matter is not big or small, but the princess's attitude can let outsiders see the princess's way of doing things. If it is done properly, it will not disgrace the reputation of the princess and the majesty of the royal family. ”
was reprimanded by Luo Qingluan, Xiao Ningyu nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes." ”
"Since I have known His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once, I will take the trouble to take care of you on his behalf. The princess didn't want to think about why the subordinates in the house dared to spread the word at will? Could it be that the princess usually only cares about having fun and forgets to set rules for them? This time it is rumored that the queen mother is sick, what if next time someone rumors that His Majesty Dongwan has died? What will be the consequences? ”
Listening to Luo Qingluan's more and more serious appearance, Xiao Ningyu's hairs stood up all over her body, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'll go back and teach them a good lesson." Her heart was tight, she secretly cursed a group of subordinates, if it weren't for them, how could she be taught a lesson by Luo Qingluan?
The fear of Luo Qingluan has been transferred to the group of subordinate girls, Xiao Ningyu gritted her teeth, and only wished that the carriage would run faster so that she could vent her anger.
Half an hour away, Xiao Ningyu was like sitting on pins and needles, and seeing that she finally arrived at the princess's mansion, she directly lifted the curtain and jumped down, rushing in angrily.
The two gatekeepers at the door saw that Xiao Ningyu was back, and greeted them with a smile on their faces: "The princess is back, little ......"
"Get out of here!" Xiao Ningyu couldn't hold it back for a long time, whoever would come up was looking for scolding, she pushed the two away, and said gloomily as she walked: "It's just the opposite, lawless, let this princess find out which dog slave did it, and this princess skinned him alive!" ”
What, flayed alive? When the two porters behind him heard this, they immediately shrank their necks and didn't dare to step forward.
The princess is so angry, obviously angry, if she collides with the princess, it is not them who are unlucky? The two porters were fortunate that they were only in charge of guarding the door, otherwise they were afraid that the fire would burn on them.
The first time he came to Xiao Ningyu's princess's mansion, Luo Qingluan stood at the door, staring at the plaque with gold characters on a black background above.
Standing at the door, you can see the scenery inside, a huge vestibule, almost the same as the entire house of the average rich family. The bluestone ground is polished smoothly and cleanly, and from the position of Luo Qingluan, you can only see a glazed wall that is three zhang wide and one zhang high.
It is inlaid with a fiery red vermilion bird, and its coat is all inlaid with red gemstones, which is scorching and dazzling in the sun, and is priceless. Is the surrounding moire delicate and warm, this is also the best mutton fat white jade, and such a large piece, there are almost no gaps, you can imagine its value.
No wonder Xiao Ningyu has her own princess mansion at a young age and before she gets married, just from this photo wall, you can imagine her status in the heart of Emperor Dongwan. It's definitely like a jewel, and it's not an exaggeration to love it all in one.
Maybe that's how it developed Xiao Ningyu's character.
Shaking his head, Luo Qingluan walked inside, the two porters didn't know each other at first sight, and they were just about to come up to stop them, but before the words came out, they heard Xiao Ningyu's voice sound behind themselves: "Oh, Sister Luo, I ran too fast, I forgot about you......"
The two concierges were suddenly startled, but fortunately there was no exit, if they really didn't know what to do, they would drive this strange woman out, but they were afraid that they would now face the punishment of the princess.
"This girl, please-" The two porters nodded respectfully, and saw Xiao Ningyu turn around with their own eyes, and affectionately led the woman in, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, so dangerous.
In just a moment, the entire princess's mansion knew.
Xiao Ningyu sat on a chair with a carved rose circle, next to the fragrant tea and fresh grapes and honeydew melons placed by the girl, but she didn't look at it at all, she only looked coldly at the dozens of inner courtyard girls and subordinates standing in the courtyard below, with an expressionless face.
Luo Qingluan had already told her just now, although the majesty of the princess was put up, let this group of subordinates know that it was powerful. Xiao Ningyu was naturally not polite, and the people who looked at it with just a cold face didn't dare to come out.
The scene was silent, and before Xiao Ningyu spoke, no one knew why the princess was angry. Everyone bowed their heads and signaled to themselves, but no one knew why.
"This palace will give you a chance to repent first, if anyone stands up and admits it, this palace is not guilty of the past, and it will be ...... to sell it on thirty boards."
Looking at Xiao Ningyu's cold appearance, everyone shuddered, hit 30 boards and sell them again, is this still called the past? How terrible should that punishment be?
Slowly picked up the teacup in front of her, Xiao Ningyu opened the lid of the cup and gently brushed away the foam on the surface of the tea, but her face changed in a blink of an eye, and she smashed the teacup in the garden with a snap, and said coldly: "It's not from the truth, who is spreading the rumors that the queen mother is seriously ill and in a coma!" Say! ”
Everyone's brains exploded, it turned out that Princess Duanrou wanted to investigate this matter?
Luo Qingluan stood beside Xiao Ningyu, she didn't sit down, she stood and saw more clearly.
The forty or fifty girls in front of me are basically from the princess's mansion, and they have been in the mansion for more than three years, so they are old people. Xiao Ningyu chose to start with this group of people first, but Luo Qingluan didn't feel anything wrong.
The investigation naturally starts with the most trusted girl around him, which is more likely.
I saw Xiao Ningyu glance at the girl standing beside her, and the latter immediately knelt down: "Princess." His voice trembled.
"Mo Ju, you have been with this princess for more than three years, and this princess will not check you."
The girl named Mo Ju hurriedly said, "Thank you, princess." ”
Xiao Ningyu said again: "Who is it that is talking about this in my ear this morning, do you remember?" ”
Without waiting for Mo Ju to answer, a girl in the group of people standing in front of him immediately knelt down with a plop: "Princess, spare your life!" It was the slave who told the princess. ”
Xiao Ningyu raised her eyes, the royal nobility was vividly revealed, and she sneered: "Caiyun, this princess naturally remembers that you said it, and I thought you didn't dare to come, but I didn't expect you to confess." Then the princess will not punish you, say, who told you? ”
Caiyun kowtowed again and again, and the look of horror on her face was overflowing: "Back to the princess, the slave maid also heard about it from Sister Zijuan in the needlework room. Last night, Sister Zijuan secretly told the slave maid about this, and the slave didn't believe it, but Sister Zijuan said it like it, and swore a curse, and the slave and maid believed it, so they came together this morning and hurried to tell the princess. ”
There was no need for Xiao Ningyu to ask again, and another young girl wearing a yellow shirt and a pair of pearl earrings also knelt down: "Princess, the slave maid is wronged, the slave maid went to buy the needlework of the Tianyi Pavilion yesterday, and came back to hear what Cui Tao said in the outer courtyard." ”
"She said you believed it?" Xiao Ningyu slapped the little boy next to her suddenly, and was furious: "Cui Tao, don't tie up this princess yet!" Chewing the root of your tongue seems to cut off all your tongues, right? ”
