Chapter 179: But leaning on the strings and singing goodbye
Walking out of Chuxiu Palace, Jin Lan and Suo Lan still had stiff faces, like a few iron fists hit on cotton, it was just hard to please, but the result was still so light and fluttering, it was really hateful but couldn't scratch it.
Lan Xin glanced at them, and his brows tightened a little: "The ratio of joy and anger is a necessary virtue for people in the palace, look at you now, let those who have a heart look at it, and this palace can't tolerate the dragon fetus in Concubine Hui's womb." Didn't make a mess of yourself. ”
Jin Lan hurriedly wiped away the displeasure, changed his head and said, "Niangniang, what are we going to do on such a cold day?" Have you forgotten, the second elder brother got the emperor's permission and was taken to the palace to learn to ride and shoot with the master. ”
"How could you forget?" Lan Xin's solemn face revealed a little sadness, but it was blown away by the cold wind just right, and finally there was no trace of it. "Although this palace treats him very kindly, Yonglian is the meat at the top of the heart of this palace." Such a young child, learning to ride and shoot in the palace in the ice and snow, how much hardship and fatigue she has to endure, she can't imagine it.
Lan Xin wiped away her tears and took out a piece of shredded paper from her sleeve: "Look at this." Hongu is going to see this. ”
"This is ......" Jinlan took the piece of paper and looked at it together with Suo Lan. Isn't this the whistleblower letter, the mother didn't burn it, just to leave this fragment? ”
Suo Lan was also puzzled: "But what does this have to do with Brother?" Why would the Queen want to go there? ”
"There is a suspicion in Bengong's heart, and I always feel that these recent events are related to him." Lan Xin's brows were frowning very tightly, afraid that he had wronged him by guessing wrong, and afraid that he had really guessed correctly, in short, he was very conflicted and uneasy.
"Who do you mean?" Jinlan couldn't understand: "In the elder brother's office, aren't there just a few nurses and grandmothers waiting?" Where do they have the ability to see the sky with their hands and eyes, and they make the entire harem uneasy. Wouldn't it be death to dare to secretly hand over such a letterhead? ”
Lan Xin glanced at Jinlan in disgust, not ready to tell the truth, and didn't like her to ask so many questions. "This matter is not to be mentioned to anyone until the palace has figured it out. Suo Lan, you accompany the palace, Jinlan, you lead the people back to the Changchun Palace. When you go back to the Elder Brother's Institute, you really don't have to put such a big score. ”
Consciously speechless, Jinlan responded again and again, and did not dare to make a second time, and Xue Guining led the rest of the people to carry things, and hurriedly turned to Changchun Palace.
Suo Lan instructed a few inner guards to carry Feng Yu to Elder Brother's place.
Along the way, Lan Xin didn't speak, so Suo Lan walked calmly, and the two had a tacit understanding, tacitly. After getting off Fengyu, Lan Xin walked slowly inside with her hand, but when she was about to walk into the elder brother's office, she couldn't help but ask: "Suo Lan, do you know who this palace suspects?" ”
"Big brother." Suo Lan didn't hide it, and said what he thought in his heart.
"Why?" Lan Xin frowned and stopped.
"If the queen asks the slave why she thinks it is related to the eldest brother, then the answer will be simple. In this elder brother's office, except for the eldest elder brother, there is no one worthy of you braving the wind and snow to come alone. A little clever, Suo Lan said obediently: "If the queen asks the slave and maid, how to know your mind, the slave can only say that she is serving the master, and she is doing her best." The more you think about it, the more cautious you can be. ”
Lan Xin smiled knowingly and gently squeezed her hand: "I didn't expect that there are so many people serving around this palace, you are not the longest, but you know the most about the thoughts of this palace." ”
Suo Lan smiled lightly, but it didn't look so clear: "The slave is just worried, if the queen mother guesses a little well, what are you going to do?" The eldest brother hated Concubine Hui to the core, mostly because of the death of his biological mother. ”
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, you have to find out." This is also where Lan Xin is embarrassed, in the final analysis, the death of Fucha Xunyan may not be related to Concubine Hui. But at this time, the confusion subsided, one seemed that the emperor trusted himself too much, and the other was the depth of his love for Concubine Hui.
Yonghuang is still a child after all, and the more he doesn't say it, the more he hides too much pain in his heart. "This palace knows that the emperor cares about the elder brother's studies, and Yonghuang is the eldest elder brother, so he should set an example for the imperial brothers. So every once in a while, he always asked the nurse to send his textbooks, pen stickers, and even used proclamations to Changchun Palace for inspection.
The eldest brother is smart, he can hold a pen with both hands, and if Bengong is not mistaken, the handwriting on the whistleblower letter is clearly written by his left hand. ”
Suo Lan couldn't help but shudder, thinking to himself how old this big brother is, and he would have such a careful mind. But how did he know that Concubine Hui was fakely pregnant, and even many people in the palace didn't know that he had a child......
"This palace knows that you have doubts in your heart, and this palace also has doubts. Therefore, we have to come to this brother's office. Lan Xin didn't say anything more, and the steps under her feet became more and more powerful.
"Slave Lianxiang greets the queen."
The nurse who greeted the door was newly invited into the palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lan Xin looked at her eyes, and only hummed casually.
Suo Lan didn't see the figure of the eldest brother, and he didn't feel strange: "At this time, why is the eldest brother no longer practicing calligraphy in the room, and the people who are waiting for him are nowhere to be seen, what is going on?" ”
Lianxiang blessed herself before she dared to take over: "Back to the eldest aunt's words, the eldest brother said that the weather is good today, so he asked the inner supervisor and Mama Huang to accompany him to the backyard to enjoy the snow scene, saying that he was coming back to draw a picture of the snow country and give it to the second elder brother to enjoy." ”
After receiving the queen's signal, Suo Lan only said: "Lead the way." ”
Lianxiang saw the queen for the first time, and it was inevitable that she was a little nervous, and she was cramped and uneasy to lead the way in front of her head, and her steps seemed very frivolous.
Lan Xin looked at her gait and was very dissatisfied, so she cleared her throat before saying, "You are so frizzy, how can you serve a good big brother." The slaves of the Internal Affairs Office are becoming more and more unable to do things, and no one dares to race in the palace. Suo Lan, you go back and ask Jiang Lian to come to Changchun Palace. ”
"The queen mother forgives her sins, the slave and maid are reckless, but the slave and maid are doing their best to serve the eldest brother, and they will never dare to be negligent." Xianglian knelt down violently when she heard this, and begged again and again: "Niangniang, just give the slave a chance, don't dare to let the slave go." The eldest brother is also inseparable from people to serve him, and the slave will never be in the future. ”
Suo Lan's heart was shocked, and he was bluffed by this fragrant lotus, how could any slave and maid hear the dissatisfaction of the master, and immediately knelt down and cried and begged. It is not a vegetable market in front of the palace, not to mention that the queen has always been the most important rule. "What are you yelling about?" The tone was full of anger: "How can the queen mother allow you to be a slave and maid in front of her." Don't get out of here. ”
"Oh no, come on, big brother has been falling......"
Before Suo Lan's words fell, the slaves and maids over there were already screaming in panic.
"Something happened to Yonghuang?" Lan Xin only felt that her heart was crumbled, and she almost couldn't breathe in pain. "Quick, Suo Lan, accompany the palace to have a look."
"Yes, sissy." Suo Lan held the queen's hand and was about to hurry up to catch up. Unexpectedly, Xianglian got up with a brisk stride, and rushed in front of her head like an arrow from the string.
"You are ......" Suo Lan wanted to call her, but when she saw her figure flicker, the whole person disappeared.
"Don't worry about it yet." Lan Xin was worried, so she paid attention to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother had an accident. Could it really be such a coincidence? Was someone deliberately giving her a false direction, or did Yonghuang really have such a deep city at such a young age? The fog blocked the view, and it was really difficult to sort out for a while.
When Lan Xin hurriedly walked up, he saw Xianglian tearing her clothes, and she quickly and skillfully pulled the fabric of her clothes into long strips, wrapped them around Yonghuang's forehead, and then fixed them. "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, what are you still doing in a daze? Big Brother's injury is in the head, I'm afraid it's a hindrance if it's late, why don't you go? ”
Lan Xin could see that this Xianglian was genuinely frightened, and the action of bandaging Yonghuang just now was also extremely skillful, not like a frizzy person. So why did she have to get her attention in the first place and leave such a bad impression? "Mama Huang, pass on the decree of the palace, and ask the imperial doctor to come to the elder brother's office to treat the eldest brother's injuries as soon as possible."
The queen gave an order, and someone hurriedly retreated.
Mama Huang's face had not been hidden, and when she saw the queen coming, her facial features shrunk into a ball. She knew that the queen would definitely ask about the reason for the eldest brother's injury, and she would inevitably blame herself for taking improper care. did not escape responsibility, and had to preemptively strike. Thinking so, Mama Huang immediately squatted down and picked up one of Big Brother's boots. "Queen Mother, please take a look, the weather is so cold in the ninth winter, this hoof, even put on a pair of single boots for the eldest brother.
Except for two layers of cloth, not even a single cotton wool was included. The eldest brother must have been numb from the cold before he fell off the rockery. Please ask the queen to send this guilty maid and give the eldest brother justice. ”
"Dare to ask Mama Huang's hooves and sin maids, who is it?" Suo Lan was confused, but he understood in his heart. Although Mama Huang has been serving by the eldest brother's side, she is not very dedicated in the end. Who made the eldest brother a poor child without a mother, so that no concubine would be rewarded richly. So that Mama Huang's purse can never bulge.
After a long time, the resentment was sprinkled on the eldest brother. Suo Lan's heart was half cold, she had been doing hard labor in the lower courtyard for many years, and all she could see in her eyes was these nonsense things. The minions only have silver in their eyes, and silver is their most serious master.
The slave maid naturally said that this Xianglian, the eldest brother's daily life and diet, are all taken care of by her. Now that such a big thing has happened to the eldest brother, it's not all her fault. Mama Huang rolled her eyes and made up her mind to ask this Xianglian to carry this black cauldron. begged the queen to send her to the Shen Punishment Division, and clean up the pair of masters' unsatisfactory hooves. ”
