Chapter 40: The emperor still misses his old lover
The next morning, Shan Muxi had just opened her eyes, and before she got off the phoenix couch, Xianghe had already jumped into her bedroom.
"Beauty, get up!"
He grinned and spoke briskly, as if he was in a particularly good mood.
Shan Muxi was a little confused: "What's the matter?" So happy! ”
Xianghe was stunned: "Didn't you say that we were going to the Huanyi Bureau today?" Beauty, have you forgotten this? ”
Oh, yes? The original plan was to go to the Huanyi Bureau, so what was she happy about?
Shan Muxi was a little confused.
Xianghe combed her hair and said, "Actually, I want to go with you, a beauty, because I want to see a friend of mine." She is very good, but she was punished by the master for breaking a vase, saying that she was going to stay in the Huanyi Bureau for half a year. I don't dare to go to see her on weekdays......"
I see.
Shan Muxi was a little strange: "You can go to see her when you are resting, why don't you dare?" ”
Xianghe sighed: "She is following Concubine Li, and I am following you, Beauty, you are open-minded and think it's okay for me to see her, who knows what Concubine Li thinks?" My friend was already being punished, and I didn't want to bother her. ”
That's right.
From the current point of view, the position of Shan Muxi and Concubine Li is a bit special, and it seems that they should be hostile.
Shan Muxi looked helpless: "It's true that where there is a harem, there is a fight." ”
Xianghe also brought a lot of pastries.
Shan Muxi couldn't cry or laugh a little: Even if the Huanyi Bureau is a place to be punished, it won't make people hungry, right? What is Xianghe doing with so much food?
But when she really got there, she knew that it was still Xianghe who knew that the deep palace was miserable. The palace maids in the Huanyi Bureau not only worked very hard, but also ate and dressed poorly.
If you are sick, there is no one to treat you.
As soon as Shan Muxi entered, he saw an old palace maid washing clothes and washing them. When I stepped forward, the old palace maid was hot and very sick. Shan Muxi ordered someone to call Imperial Doctor Luo, but the people guarding the Huanyi Bureau didn't dare to go.
After all, human life is at stake, Shan Muxi lowered his face: "I told you to go, you can go and call Imperial Doctor Luo, if someone asks, they will say that it was my name, and if you are not convinced, you can come to me!" ”
At that time, two palace maids knelt down for her: "Beauty, you are really a good person, thank you." ”
Shan Muxi hurriedly pulled them up, she was usually not pretentious, but now she didn't know what to say.
Xianghe came to see the punchline.
Punch Line hurriedly distributed the pastries to everyone: "I've been hungry for the past few days, let's everyone share a little bit." ”
Seeing those palace maids eating pastries, Xianghe looked at the witty words with red eyes: "Did Concubine Li say when you will be allowed to go back?" ”
Witty shook his head: "I guess Niangniang forgot me here, right?" Father-in-law Li found her a little recipe, I heard that the little recipe is very smart, and the mother likes him. ”
Shan Muxi couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, these punished palace maids were still waiting for the master to summon him back, but how many people in the master remembered them?
No wonder Xianghe and Jiangzhu are dead set on her, Shan Muxi has never treated the two of them as current people.
"Xiao Fangzi is a villain who can make sycophants, but it's disgusting." After thinking about it, Xianghe asked the punch line: "What mistake did you make, Concubine Li had to punish you like this?" ”
Punch Yu glanced at Shan Muxi, and was stunned and didn't speak.
Shan Muxi knew that it seemed that this matter had something to do with herself, and this little girl would never dare to say it.
After looking around, he didn't find the person he was looking for, Shan Muxi asked the palace maid who was in charge here: "Where is Qiu'er?" I'm here to find Qiu'er! ”
A palace maid said: "Qiu'er hasn't come out for two days, it should be that her illness is more serious." ”
"Sick?"
It's really retribution! Shan Muxi almost laughed without gloating.
The palace maid continued: "The skin and flesh on my body are rotten, and it looks so scary...... Where can she work like that? We help her with her tasks these days. ”
Rotten flesh and skin?
Shan Muxi already knew that Qiu'er should have been poisoned by the kind of poison he had before.
The palace maid took Shan Muxi and Xianghe to find Qiu'er, and as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the stench of rotten meat in the room, and the smoker almost vomited.
Taking a deep breath at the door, Shan Mu bravely entered the room, only to find that the small room was empty.
The dilapidated bed was also stained with mottled blood. I think that's where the smell comes from.
People with bad hearts will not end well! When Qiu'er poisoned Shan Muxi for no reason, she shouldn't have thought that she would be infected with this poison and her whole body would fester, and life would be better than death, right?
"Oh my!"
A scream suddenly came from outside, and Shan Muxi was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
A palace maid stumbled in from outside: "Beauty, it's not good!" Qiu'er, she drowned in a well! ”
Shan Muxi hurriedly ran out, only to find that the lid of the small well next to Qiu'er's house was open.
Timidly walked over, Shan Mu had the courage to look down: Qiu'er's body was lying on his back in the well water. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open......
And her face was already festering, soaked in the well water, the wound was white, and the rotten skin was shaking in the water.
Shan Muxi was so frightened that she took two steps back, but she hadn't messed up yet: "Hurry up and find a job to see how this Qiu'er died!" ”
All thought that Qiu'er should be sick and couldn't stand it, so they committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well. As a result, the autopsy concluded that she had been strangled to death and thrown into the well the previous night.
Xianghe's face turned pale with fright: "How could it be so coincidental...... We said we went to her, and she was killed......"
Shan Muxi frowned and did not speak.
Xianghe looked at her with a confused expression: "Could it be that there are spies in the Wutong Palace?" ”
When Jiang Zhu heard her say this, her face stopped talking.
Shan Muxi looked at Jiang Zhu: "You might as well say what you want." ”
"I'm just thinking, this doesn't necessarily mean that there are spies in our Wutong Palace. Qiu'er's poisoning of the beauty before was obviously instructed by someone. The reason why she has survived until now can only be said that the person who called her poison was very clever, neither killed Qiu'er nor reused her, and hid himself well. Maybe the original plan was to poison her and fend for herself, but she didn't expect the beauty to come back. In order not to expose himself, that person will strike first. ”
It means that when Shan Muxi comes back, Qiu'er is destined to die, but the time is such a coincidence.
What Jiangzhu said was the same as what Shan Muxi thought.
Shan Muxi had to look at the beads again. found that the girl who is usually silent is actually quite wise.
Su Yan ran over in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked concerned: "Mu Xi, I didn't scare you today, did I?" ”
Yesterday he came to the Wutong Hall to say the same thing.
It seems that Su Yan thought she graduated from "Xiamen University".
Shan Muxi couldn't pretend to be weak, and grinned: "I was really scared enough at the first sight of the corpse, but then I wasn't afraid." ”
Xianghe heard her say this, and cocked her thumb: "The beauty is really a heroine among women, so bold!" It's really impressive. ”
Shan Muxi's face was indifferent: "Whoever dies is not the same as a corpse?" What is there to be afraid of? ”
Su Yan hurriedly glanced back at Shan Muxi, and it was estimated that these words also made him breathtaking.
However, this man seems to know Shan Muxi very well: "You want to ask who told her to poison you in the first place, right?" ”
Shan Muxi nodded.
Su Yan looked helpless: "Actually, I asked her a long time ago, and he insisted that he wanted to do this, because Shan Yuyu killed her fellow eunuch." ”
Shan Muxi still has a little impression of this, Qiu'er did say so.
Shan Muxi looked disgusted: "Shan Yuyi, Shan Yuyi, why do you make me take the blame for your sins?" ”
Su Yan poked her head and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Oh, the emperor is still thinking of his old lover.
