Chapter 72: Concubine Hui (3)

Chou'er's hand was slightly forced, Mama Yu was a little puzzled, staggered up, He Xi noticed that Mama Yu's right foot seemed to have no way to withstand the force, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Mama's foot?" ”

The ugly child looked down, only to see that the soles of Mama Yu's feet were a little shrunk in the air, and they were shorter than the one next to them. Her eyes were red, but fortunately she put a mask on her face, so that it would not be obvious.

Bai Zhi felt a little strange, this He Xi seemed to know this grandma before, and the look on her face when she saw the bowl of fresh fruit stew today made her wonder, I don't know if she was thinking too much, but she saw Mama Yu's expression as usual, with humility towards the superior on her face, if she really said that there was anything different, she could only say that she was more grateful.

"Mama Yu was also born as a slave before, and later drafted into the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office assigned people to each palace, because Mama Yu knew some cooking skills and was assigned to Chuxiu Palace. But because his foot was broken, he couldn't move, so he had to help in the kitchen. Bai Zhi explained lightly. Mama Yu's voice choked and said: "The old slave begged the master to invite the little master to come this time, in order to thank the little master for saving the old man in the sin slave house. The old slave wanted to thank the little master in person. ”

She didn't say a word about the injury on her foot, He Xi's heart throbbed, but the smile on her face became more and more faint, faintly with a stunning momentum, she lowered her head, couldn't see the look on her face, and just asked, "Who hit it?" ”

Mama Yu was stunned, as if she didn't expect He Xi to ask such a question, she turned her head to look at Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi was also curious, but she still replied for Mama Yu: "It's from the Internal Affairs Office, but Mama Yu's leg disease has been two or three years." My sister doesn't want to seek justice for her grandmother. ”

Bai Zhi said with some hesitation, not to mention whether an old woman from a sin slave is worth the trouble He Xi went to the Internal Affairs Office, and besides, it is not certain that this person is not there, she doesn't understand what He Xi means by asking this question.

Fortunately, the ugly child reacted very quickly, and she added: "Our little master also thinks that we must avoid such unreasonable people, and we will inevitably have to deal with the Internal Affairs Office in the future, and it is always good to be more cautious." ”

Bai Zhi seems to believe it or not, and this reason is convincing enough. When Mama Yu heard that this was the reason, she lowered her head and said, "Since this is the case, the little master should be careful of Li Zhong, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and Father-in-law Li." ”

When she said this name, Mama Yu's voice trembled a little, as if the incident that he broke his foot happened just yesterday. The pain of peeling off her flesh seemed to torment her every day and every night, making it difficult for her to sleep.

He Xi silently wrote it down, and just said: "The matter of the criminal slave, since His Majesty ordered me to investigate, I should do my best, Mama is not like this, but I still have something unclear, and I ask Mama to solve my doubts." ”

He Xi said in a deep voice, Mama Yu was stunned, her face became a little weird, one hand quietly rubbed the placket, and said a little sneeringly: "The little master of Xi Concubine is kind to us, since the little master of Xi Concubine has something, the old slave should know everything." ”

He Xi said to Mama Yu: "Since Mama's legs and feet are inconvenient, then sit down, it's not a big deal, so people won't blame me for making my own decisions." ”

Angelica Angelica smiled softly, really like a Angelica dale.

"Sister Xi Concubine is already in a higher position than the concubine, even if she is in the concubine palace, she naturally has the right to call the shots." In a word, He Xi was put in a high position, He Xi didn't have time to pay attention to Bai Zhi's careful thoughts now, looked at Mama Yu who had already done it, and said: "Someone in Chuxiu Palace sang opera in the middle of the night before, but Mama did it?" ”

Mama Yu's fingers rubbing the hem of her clothes became more and more rapid, and her breathing gradually sank, Bai Zhi stepped forward and smiled: "What is this that Sister Xi said?" Didn't this matter be investigated, was it done by those sin slaves? Besides, Mama is so old, what Yueyan and I saw that day was a young figure. ”

He Xi looked at Bai Zhi, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and she said faintly: "You saw it at night, in that night, in addition to seeing the clothes, what else can you see?" Besides, Wang Yueyan is timid, and under fear, it is natural that people say what it is, isn't it? ”

Bai Zhi couldn't help but take a step back, He Xi had such a guess, not a temptation, but she remembered that Mama Yu once told herself that she had studied opera in the opera troupe when she was young, and later the head of the troupe wanted to accept her as a child, but she didn't want to, so she signed up for the palace, and stayed for a few years, but the habit of occasionally singing opera still hasn't changed, He Xi hasn't heard it, but she just heard someone say that the voice is like a young girl.

Since Bai Zhi knew Mama Yu's identity, but from beginning to end, she never said anything about it, even if the matter of the criminal slave was in an uproar, she kept her mouth shut.

"Sister Xi, what do you mean by this? Is it a suspicion of a concubine? The corners of Bai Zhi's mouth twitched far-fetched. His eyes met He Xi, but he dodged a little.

"After this incident, Wang Yueyan went crazy and was sent out, and you are the only one in the entire Chuxiu Palace, in this process, you seem to be too calm, and you don't even make trouble moving the palace, are you really not afraid that it is the first queen who is resentful?" The candle flame was blown by the wind at this moment, and the sudden figure in the hall shook, Bai Zhi couldn't even see He Xi's expression clearly, she stepped back, her legs touched the soft and hard carved edges, and as soon as her legs were weak, she fell on the soft collapse.

"Little master Xi, everything is done by the old slave, and it has nothing to do with our master, it is the old slave who wants to make things bigger, and give the queen justice, even if the mayfly can't shake the wood, I don't want all the people to die in the sin slave. That place is like a tomb of the living dead! Mama Yu fell down from her chair and cried.

The voice was sad, tears ran down her wrinkled face, slid down, and she kept whispering: "Caihe, Fu'an, Fuping, are all instructed by me, Caihe is more in order to protect the old slave, so I take all the things together, the old slave is still alive and breathing in the world, I hope that one day, I can thank the little master Xi in person, the little master Xie Xi saved the lives of dozens of people in the slave house." ”

Chou'er couldn't help but turn her face away, the people that Mama Yu said, Chou'er all knows, especially Fu'an and Fuping, who are the most poor on weekdays, always Sister Xia Dong is long, and Sister Xia Dong is short.

Looking at the familiar Mama Yu in front of her, she bit her lip to prevent herself from making a sound. He Xi looked at Mama Yu, she was the old mama in the palace. The housekeeper of the sin slave house is also shielding her, no matter what the motive is, whether it is sympathy or use, but the matter is finally settled.

He Xi couldn't bear to step forward and help Mama Yu up in person, Mama Yu's palms were full of thick calluses, and she said softly: "Mama, why do you have to do this, I also said it just now, just ask Mama to solve my doubts, if I want to reveal the truth of the matter, today is not in Chuxiu Palace, but in His Majesty's Heart Nourishing Palace." ”

Fu turned to look at Bai Zhi who was sitting on the soft floor and said, "You have your own selfishness, not to completely help Mama Yu, right?" Wang Yueyan is more beautiful than you, and she lives in Chuxiu Palace with you, are you worried that even if Your Majesty comes to Chuxiu Palace, he won't notice you, right? ”

The defense line in Bai Zhi's heart completely collapsed, and she hid her face and cried: "I didn't mean it this way, I knew she was timid, I just wanted to scare her and let her move out, but I didn't think about it, I didn't think about it...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

But she didn't expect that Wang Yueyan was directly scared crazy, she will always live in fear for the rest of her life, and sober people have been tormented by guilt, such as Bai Zhi, such as Mama Yu in front of her.

"Forget it, the matter has come to this, I will keep my mouth shut, this matter, just treat it as if it never happened, but I want to take it away, I can't stay in Chuxiu Palace anymore, it is not good for you." This sentence is said to Bai Zhi, the key words of the sin slave, the first queen, and the Chuxiu Palace are put together, and it is difficult for people not to guess.

Now the only person in the sin slave house may be Mama Yu, she has done so many things for herself, she does not allow Mama Yu to do anything again.

Bai Zhi was also very interested when she heard this, but she regained her strength, stood up and said: "The concubine knows that Sister Xi has tasted the fresh fruit stew made by Mama Yu, and she loves it very much, and she is full of praise, and the concubine doesn't like sweets, so how about giving it to Mama to her sister's small kitchen?" ”

He Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but in this way, in the eyes of others, he and Bai Zhi are people on the same road, this may be Bai Zhi's last plan, He Xi asked Mama Yu to go down to prepare, and then settled down to taste the tea in his hand.

After a while, he said quietly: "Bai Zhi, why did you choose me?" ”

Bai Zhi smiled, picked up the two flowers used to decorate the silver carved pastry plate and put them together and said, "Because Sister Xi needs companions, needs companions like me." ”

There was an open-minded light in her eyes, He Xi stared at the cup in her hand, as if she was weighing the pros and cons of things, Bai Zhi was actually gambling, maybe she and she were not the most suitable partner, but He Xi was the best and the only one she could rely on for herself, and she had to fight.

He Xi burst into laughter, and in this gloomy room, it was like an epiphany, shining brightly, making people ashamed of themselves. Bai Zhi is like this, she lowered her head silently, for a long time, so long that even she thought that He Xi had left Chuxiu Palace, but she heard He Xi's gentle and shallow laughter: "Talented people are really smart, and they do things without leakage." ”
