Chapter 771: Clever Minions
It was late at night, Fengle Palace was brightly lit, whether it was a palace maid or a eunuch, as long as they met, they would discuss what happened today.
This little minion who had just lit the fire for the palace lamp in the palace was humming a little song and walking back, and when he met a palace maid on the way, he asked, "Are you going to the main hall?" How is Concubine Xiang? ”
"I don't know, I just know that Niangniang has stayed at home since His Majesty took Yan'er away, and has been staying in the palace." The palace maid didn't know what was going on.
What is Yan'er's identity, saying that she is a thief who stole the jade bracelet of Concubine Xiang, but it was Cang Rinchen who came to save her, and the maidservants were discussing it all afternoon, and some people speculated that Concubine Xiang was jealous of her, so she was framed as a thief who stole the jade bracelet.
Just imagine, if His Majesty is special to Yan'er, what do you want, and then someone turned over Yan'er's baggage, the baggage is full of gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of jewelry are of the highest quality, why she is rich and why she went to Fengle Palace as a maid, has become the most important question.
"I heard that Yan'er was taken to Fengqi Palace, and it seems that she has an extraordinary relationship with Your Majesty." The servant knocked the fire fold in his hand and hit it in the palm of his hand, while walking in the corridor to meet the steps of the palace maid, thoughtfully.
"Yes, this makes sense, maybe it's really the mother who was jealous of her so she framed her, and now the emperor knows about it, it seems that the mother is worried about being punished by the emperor." The palace maids suddenly realized that they had seen a lot of the battle in the harem, like framing or reversing black and white, which was no longer a new trick.
This is that there is only one concubine in the palace, so it will be too quiet, if there are a few more women, I am afraid that it will be a big drama in three days and a review in two days.
The eunuch also heard the news from other places, sighed and didn't know what to say, the punishment was small, and the entry into the cold palace was big, and the concubines who showed off their might in the past, a few of them were still locked up in the cold palace.
Arrogant for a while, you can't be arrogant for a lifetime, the ups and downs in this palace, once you can be a master, you will become a prisoner overnight, and your fate is not in the hands of Cang Linchen?
"You two, what nonsense!"
Suddenly, the two of them raised their eyes, only to see a person standing in the courtyard, walking towards the two, short stature and not very old approached only to find that it was Ling'er.
"I didn't ...... No! The two denied it in unison, frightened, although Ling'er is young, she is trusted by Concubine Xiang, and she is a ruthless character, most of the people in this Fengle Palace are not so much afraid of Concubine Xiang as they are afraid of Ling'er.
Ling'er glanced at the two of them with a cold face, and didn't have the heart to entangle with the two of them, but just asked, "Have you seen that girl in Liuli?" ”
"Yes." Seeing that Ling'er didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, the palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "The maid saw Liuli and returned to the dormitory. ”
"Be careful when you talk in the future, chew the root of your tongue again, be careful that I cut your tongue!" Ling'er looked fierce and threatened, turned around and went to the dormitory, palace maids and eunuchs like them like to talk behind their backs, but they are actually as timid as mice, they don't really need to cut their tongues, as long as they threaten for a day or two, they will have nightmares.
Just after the hour, the main hall was still tightly covered, and at this time, I didn't know who pushed it away from the outside, and I saw Ling'er pushing the two maids into the hall, and scolded with a cold face: "Go in!" ”
The two maids did not stand firmly, and they were staggered into the hall by the threshold, and fell to their knees on the ground.
"Niangniang, this is the palace maid who left Fengle Palace in the afternoon." Ling'er said that she didn't forget to turn around and close the door of the hall, looking at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like the eyeliner arranged by Cang Rinchen.
Concubine Xiang sat on the back chair and glanced at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground, one was He Sang, who was in charge of delivering laundry in the side hall, and the other was Liuli, who was responsible for cleaning the main hall.
Both of them were thin, and at this time they both lowered their heads and trembled, looking very frightened and timid.
"Tell me, what happened when you left the Fengle Palace in the evening?" Concubine Xiang had already determined that there was definitely someone in this Fengle Palace, and when she came out of Fengle Palace at that time and notified Cang Rinchen, he would arrive so quickly and destroy her entire plan.
He Sang and Liuli didn't know that she was suddenly going to ask the two of them what they were doing out of Fengle Palace, and He Sang replied hesitantly: "Niangniang, the slave maid is going to deliver clothes that need to be washed, and I went to the Huanyi Bureau. ”
Although most of the palace maids were watching the excitement at that time, she told the grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau that she would go to pick up the clothes before the unitary time, and if it was late, she would have to get them the next day, so she went to the Huanyi Bureau in a hurry.
Concubine Xiang glanced at Ling'er with her eyes, and when she saw Ling'er nodded, she knew that her words were true, so she looked at Liuli again and asked, "What are you doing when you leave Fengle Palace?" ”
Liuli's face was solemn, her face seemed to be frightened and green, her head was lowered, and she replied in a low voice: "The slave maid is going for a walk." ”
"Oh?" Concubine Xiang sneered and looked at her, the light in her phoenix eyes seemed to penetrate her thoughts: "This Fengle Palace is not enough for you to go, where else do you want to go?" ”
Liuli felt a bad premonition, even Concubine Xiang's eyes looking at her made her uneasy: "Niangniang, the slave maid and Yan'er Pingsuli have said a few words, but they can't help her, and they can't bear to see her being scolded by the cane, so they walked out of Fengle Palace, and after a while, they came back." ”
Ling'er slowly walked to Concubine Xiang's side at this time, looked at Liuli and fell into hard thought, she inquired in Fengle Palace, and what she heard was that Liuli was timid and afraid, and she was a turtle with a shrunken head when she encountered danger.
Such a person should not be the eyeliner arranged by Cang Rinchen, and she also inquired about another matter, so she whispered in Concubine Xiang's ear: "Niangniang, the slave maid asked the guards, she just went out for a while and came back, and the time was not enough to go from Fengle Palace to the imperial study." ”
"So you mean these two are not?" Concubine Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, but her eyebrows were still cold, she glanced at Ling'er and said with a smile: "Then what did you do with these two people for the palace?" ”
Ling'er was dumb and interrogated the guards, at that time, only these two palace maids went out once, and the others stayed in Fengle Palace when they scolded Xia Yinhuan, and only these two people were suspicious.
"He Sang, Liuli, did you two honestly explain whether you left Fengle Palace and went to the imperial study at that time?" Ling'er gritted her teeth and scolded, now she can only get an answer by asking these two people.
In her opinion, He Sang was more likely, so she could have walked through the imperial study on the way to the Huanyi Bureau, although it was the opposite. The possibility of Liuli is on the small side, she only went out for a while, it can be said that she will come back after walking less than five hundred steps, and it is impossible to rush to the imperial study in such a short time.
"Nope!" Both of them were inexplicable, and they looked dazed when they raised their heads.
Concubine Xiang only felt a headache when she looked at these two people, Ling'er would definitely not be able to ask a result if she asked like this, even if she really went to the imperial study to find Cang Rinchen, how could she easily admit it.
Besides, if these two people are forced to question, if Cang Linchen knows, he will only be more disgusted with her.
"Go down, all of you." Since she couldn't ask for a result, she didn't want to ask.
The two of them were frightened, their calves trembled when they stood up, and they slowly withdrew from the hall, and Ling'er asked suspiciously: "Niangniang, can you just let them continue to stay in Fengle Palace?" ”
Since they already knew that one of the two of them must be Cang Rinchen's eyeliner arranged in Fengle Palace, there was no need to leave the two of them in Fengle Palace, and they couldn't let one go if they killed a thousand by mistake, so their situation would only be more dangerous.
"Are you going to kill them and tell Your Majesty that his people have been taken down by the palace?" Concubine Xiang asked rhetorically, and looked at each other coldly: "In the future, try to arrange the two of them out of sight of the palace, and you know what to do." ”
As long as she is too busy and doesn't have the heart to pay attention to her movements, the eyeliner arranged by Cang Linchen will lose its effect, and he can abolish a chess piece without blood.
"The slave understands." Ling'er Chengfu Shen also had to admire Cang Linchen's foresight, take precautions, think about it, it is not easy to calculate this step at the beginning, I am afraid that even if it is not Xia Yinhuan's business, if Concubine Xiang is a bad person, if she has a bad heart, I am afraid that she will be taken down.
Thinking about it, she became more and more cautious, and she should no longer take Cang Linchen lightly in the future, and she also understood that she must not be underestimated in this palace.
"Niangniang, I heard that King Lian came to the palace today, and I saw His Majesty leave after a long conversation in the imperial study." Ling'er heard the news from Jin Xing.
Concubine Xiang listened to the first half of the sentence and turned pale, and after listening to it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't know Xia Yinhuan's identity, you should know it now."
It's impossible for Ye Xinghuan not to say it, but fortunately, he didn't come to Fengle Palace, and if he arrived, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
"What are you going to do?" Ling'er is also afraid, Xia Yinhuan is the queen, they framed the queen and tried to murder, which is already a capital crime.
"If you want to go, it's up to you, and this palace doesn't know what to do, so you can only take one step at a time." Concubine Xiang knew very well that she had caused a big disaster this time, but she did not regret it, it would be best if she could kill Xia Yinhuan at that time.
The fact is that Xia Yinhuan escaped this catastrophe with a great life, but she didn't plan to give up, if she had the next chance, she would never let Xia Yinhuan live.
Xia Yinhuan is the biggest threat to her, needless to say in the future, she has received infinite grace now, she is cared for in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of touching it in her mouth for fear of melting, Xia Yinhuan has taken up all the positions in Cang Linchen's heart, and has not left her a trace at all.
If there are two people with similar faces in this world, then there must only be one to live, she feels that if there is no Xia Yinhuan, she can be completely favored by Cang Rinchen, after all, her face is intact, isn't it?
"Niangniang, Ling'er swears to follow Niangniang to the death, and is willing to go to the fire for Niangniang to go to the fire and go down to the sea of fire, as long as Niangniang can trust the slave, Ling'er will keep Niangniang safe no matter what." Ling'er swore an oath to show her loyalty.
Although she is young and the city is very deep, she has followed Xia Yinhuan since she entered the palace, but she is not reused, Concubine Xiang is the first person to trust her, and she is also the first person to reuse her.
She still understands the truth from beginning to end, no matter what, she is now serving Concubine Xiang, if she changes to other concubines, knowing that she was once Concubine Xiang's personal maidservant, she will definitely not be relieved to appoint again.
When Concubine Xiang died, she died, as early as she decided to give advice to Concubine Xiang, and the two were already grasshoppers on a rope.
"Okay, this palace really didn't see the wrong person." Concubine Xiang likes Ling'er more and more, and she can see that her oath is not half a lie, and it is very rare for a slave who swears to follow her master to the death.
Besides, Ling'er is indeed a smart person, she likes it. Saying that, she stepped forward and patted Ling'er on the shoulder, turned around and entered the inner hall and said, "The palace is tired and wants to rest, so you don't have to wait outside the palace today."
