38. Waited for him all night
Zifei's eyes glared at Jin Rou, "Go and go, I'll go by myself." You'd better not regret it, Liu Congguang will return to the palace in half an hour, and he will never say that I stole his things. ”
In this palace, except for the Queen Mother's official family, only Zifei dared to call him Liu Congguang.
Qi'er's heart sank, and she refused to lose face, so she said stubbornly: "I have nothing to regret, but according to the palace rules, I will hand you over to Shanggong Niangniang to deal with." She raised her face, and two attendants found a rope to tie Zifei, and several people went to the Shang Palace.
The classic Shanggong is the most afraid of things, how dare he offend Zifei, so he said that he was sick and didn't care about anything, and asked Qi'er to lead him to Shangzheng Bureau. The palm seal eunuch of the Shang Zheng Bureau went to the Ciyuan Palace to do something, and the Si Zheng Shang Palace couldn't be the master, and it was late, so he asked someone to lock Zifei in the dark room of the violent room first, and wait for the retrial tomorrow.
Zifei was frank in her heart, firmly believing that Liu Congguang would inevitably come to find her in the lock, so even if the violent room was crying and complaining like a ghost, she was not afraid. There was nothing to see in the dark room, she curled up and leaned against the corner, closed her eyes, desperately trying to sleep by herself, thinking that as soon as she got up from sleep, Liu Congguang would come back. When he returned to the palace, he would look for her first, and tell her about the rare objects and food he brought from outside the palace.
Then the two laughed and scolded a few words, and sat in the courtyard to eat snacks.
The dark room was stuffy, Zifei was fat and fat, and it was faintly hot. She was afraid of such a sultry heat, which reminded her of that year, when she was a child, at home, her father was not at home, and her mother found an excuse to punish her for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, it was a scorching heat, the crape myrtle flowers in the courtyard were blooming just right, a pink flower branch was placed obliquely at the window, she watched the flower branches swaying, hungry and hot, almost fainted. It was also from that time that she could no longer endure hunger, and she had to fill herself all the time, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.
She waited for him all night with embarrassing memories.
But he did not come.
Mo Lan also didn't sleep all night, unclean hands and feet have always been taboo in the palace, even if Shang Zhengju is willing to be magnanimous to bypass the punishment, he will inevitably be punished to the dyeing workshop or the Huanyi Division, where there are endless dyed cloths and unwashed clothes, and they are the lowest slaves and maids in the palace.
Before dawn, Aunt Qing came and knocked on the door, stood at the door and whispered, "If you can promise me that incident, I will try to rescue Zifei." Moran didn't believe that she had that ability, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to doubt the belief and say, "You can tell me and hear it." ”
Aunt Qing walked into the house and poured tea on the table by herself, "I have relatives in Shangzheng Bureau, but I can secretly release Zifei Niangzi, as long as she hides it well and waits for Lord Liu, everything will naturally be solved." ”
Mo Lan said: "According to what you say, if Lord Liu doesn't return for a few days, shouldn't Zifei abscond in fear of crime, and the crime will be added to the crime?" ”
Aunt Qing was stunned, "How many days will Lord Liu not return to the palace?" It stands to reason that he will definitely come back before dinner today, but Zifei may not be able to wait until then. If Shang Zhengju is guilty, even the official family will not change it easily. ”
Moran gave an eviction order, "You better go back, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”
When Aunt Qing heard that Zifei had been convicted, she was secretly happy in her heart, and she went to ask her relatives again, and after saying so, the silver was also spent. I thought that the concubine's matter would inevitably come to pass, but I didn't want to be rejected by Moran.
She said hatefully: "I really can't see that you are so hard-hearted." As soon as the morning dawned, the chief eunuch of the Shang Zheng Bureau was going to interrogate Lu Zifei, and when he was convicted, he had no skills to return to heaven. ”
Moran said: "Zifei has not stolen anything, if Shang Zhengju wronged her, even if it goes to the official's house, I will definitely seek justice." As you know, I was on duty in front of the Imperial Palace, and I still have this popularity. Why do you bother with me so much every day? Moran said this, but in fact, she didn't know the bottom in her heart, but no matter what, she had to find a way before she got on duty.
