Chapter 241: The Death of the Palace Maid
"Niangniang, I'm back, the silver was sent over, and the little palace maid Yun Niang confessed to also brought the words, and Father-in-law Fang called a row of guards to send Mother Li back. It's still thoughtful from Niangniang and Yunniang. ”
Before the Hongfu people entered the hall, the voice came first, and when they came in, they saw Wanying's tears on her face, Yun Niang also looked sad, stunned in place, and asked abruptly: "Niangniang, what's wrong, why are you crying?" ”
Yun Niang hugged Wanying, her eyes shook fiercely, and motioned to Hongfu not to ask any more.
Hongfu walked up to the two of them, saw a bucket of lamp oil on the ground, and asked suspiciously, "When will I run out of so much lamp oil?" ”
Wanying let go of Yun Niang and said faintly: "If you put a fire, it will be gone all of a sudden." ”
"Set fire? Mother, what do you say? ”
"What are you doing with all this oil without setting it on fire?"
"Mother, what did you say? Hongfu went out for a while, what happened in the temple? ”
"Someone is going to set fire to Jinseju."
"Yun Niang, is what Niang Niang said true?"
"Yes, just now there was a little palace maid who put this thing under the mother's bed."
"Damn, there can be such a bold person, where is I'm going to clean her up."
"Dead." Yun Niang said viciously.
"What? He's dead? ”
"I bit my tongue and killed myself."
"Damn it, how could she die so quickly."
"I guess I was afraid to say something, so I bit my tongue and committed suicide. I also blame me for being careless, if I had discovered this little palace maid's tricks earlier, maybe I would have been able to pry something out of her mouth. ”
"She probably was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the punishment, so she simply bit her tongue and committed suicide." Wan Ying said with a cloudy face.
"Niangniang, Hongfu said something that shouldn't be said, how do I think the person who started it seems that he can't wait, we only arrived last night, and today is the next day."
"Niangniang, Hongfu is right, we have only been in this palace for a day, and we must not have made a grudge against anyone here, and it is estimated that the person who started it has long hated us."
"Yun Niang, when our mother was at home, she was a carefree daughter, and she definitely didn't have any grievances."
"I also think that being able to do such a poisonous act must have vicious us. I'm thinking right now, who the hell have we offended? can make them so ruthless. ”
"Could it be the He family who is locked up in the Zongren Mansion or the He family?" Wanying suggested.
"Yes, the He family was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion by the prince because she poisoned her mother, and she must have poisoned us."
Yun Niang shook her head and said: "The He family doesn't have this ability, this is the palace of the royal family, He's father is just a six-grade imperial doctor, and he doesn't have the ability to buy a way to pass through the palace, and the person who starts must have a higher status and power than He Taiyi, and he has to be able to buy a way to pass the palace." ”
Wanying's mind suddenly flashed the woman in the peony-colored dress, she sat under her proudly, without even raising her head, could it be her, thinking of this, not only said: "Could it be Concubine Feng?" ”
"I also think that Concubine Feng doesn't have our mother in her eyes, except for the third day of the wedding, she never came to our Chunhuatai to say hello to her mother, it must be her." Hongfu also agreed with Wanying's guess.
Yun Niang disagreed a little, and said, "I also think that Concubine Feng is the most likely." ”
Hongfu nodded more firmly, came to an arbitrary conclusion, and said, "It must be Concubine Feng." ”
Yun Niang shook her head and said her reasons: "Although Concubine Feng doesn't respect Niangniang very much, I see that she also likes the prince too deeply, and her face is honest and kind, not like a vicious person." ”
"Yun Niang, didn't you just say that Miss Feng is the most likely? How can you say that she is not a vicious person? ”
"I can't say why, I think Concubine Feng is a person with a true temperament and a straight temperament, and I dare to guarantee this Concubine Zhou, although I haven't seen a few people in my life, but these two young ladies don't seem to be people who will poison people, just like you."
Wanying was a little confused, but in fact, in her heart, she couldn't find who was trying to kill her. If you want to talk about the real grudge, that is Concubine Feng and Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou doesn't have to say, go straight, if it weren't for Mother Li being locked up in the Qiuxiang Palace and not coming out, it is estimated that Chunhuatai can run three times a day.
Concubine Feng is the most likely, but she is biased once and feels that she is not a vicious person.
"Could it be Concubine Liu?" Yun Niang thought for a long time, and came up with such a sentence.
"How is that possible? She is a palace maid without a father, and entering the palace is the creation of the previous life, how dare she murder her mother, unless she eats the wolf's heart and leopard gall. Hongfu disagreed.
"Yun Niang, this palace also feels that Concubine Liu seems to have some anger, although she always smiles like a flower, no matter how she says and scolds, she will not get angry and lose her face, the more this is the more suspicious, unless she is a skinless and faceless person, otherwise this play is too fake."
"Although Concubine Liu is charming and coquettish, she doesn't have such skills, this is the Royal Palace, she is a concubine of the palace, how to get through the middle of this, besides, the mother came to the palace, we also found out three days in advance. The palace is still hiding it, how can she know the itinerary? How did you open up the joints in the palace in the past two days? ”
"If that's the case, Liu Liangren really can't do it."
"It's not He's, Concubine Feng, it's not Concubine Liu, and the palace doesn't know who it is? I don't know who I've offended? ”
The three of them were frowning, and Gonggong Fang led a team of small palace maids, carrying food boxes, and rushed in.
"Niangniang, Mother Li's business is done, the slave is patronizing and running around today, and I forgot that Niangniang is still hungry, fortunately, the thunder struck, I remember, who knew that the cooks in the dining room were still waiting for my instructions! What a sin of a minion. ”
"Father-in-law Fang, this palace is not hungry at this time. Let's take it. ”
"Mother, what do you think this is? This is mountain bracken, and Li's mother specially instructed her to try it before leaving. ”
"Mountain bracken? What kind of dish? ”
"Mother, you can know if you taste it. Mother Li said that Niangniang is pregnant with her son, and the too greasy meat is easy to make Niangniang have morning sickness, so she needs to make more light side dishes, coax Niangniang to eat a few bites of everything, and she can also feed the child in her belly. ”
"Mother Li has a heart."
"Not really! Before leaving, he told him that he had been busy all day long, and his mother must taste a few bites. If it weren't for the child coming to him, he would also say that he would give his mother a stack of sweet potatoes. ”
"What is a sweet potato?"
"How do the minions know what this is? Mother Li said that in a few days, the affairs of the family will be settled, and she will come over to serve her mother for dinner! ”
Father-in-law Fang said as he placed more than a dozen refreshing side dishes in front of Wanying. This is a dozen side dishes, the same three or two bites, made ten of them are elegant and elegant. For example, a small dish of crispy pickled cucumbers is refreshing just by looking at the green and watery dishes.
"Niangniang, this is a steamed bowl of multigrain rice, Mother Li said, Niangniang is the daughter of the grain grown up, pregnant taste to change, but also daily fine food supply, Niangniang must not be palatable, it is better to change to coarse grains, first, coarse grains have a unique flavor, and secondly, coarse grains are easy to chew, saving Niangniang morning sickness."
Wan Ying slightly loosened the tense expression on her face, and only said: "Mother Li's words, as if she listened to Bengong's dream words at night, are all what Bengong thinks in her heart, and she can't say it on her lips. My father-in-law thanked Mother Li for me."
"Good girl, don't say that. Mother Li doesn't say it, she must respect you in her heart, and this slave dares to guarantee the ticket. As long as you can move your chopsticks and eat a few more bites, this is our creation, let the master say thank you, isn't this killing us minions? ”
After a busy morning, Wanying was really hungry, holding a small bowl of coarse grain rice, a dozen plates of delicious side dishes, a bowl of rice, and ate most of the bowl.
Until Wanying put down the chopsticks, Yun Niang's heart finally entered her stomach, and she ate three meals a day and two good meals. In this way, the body will be able to sustain it.
The little palace maids cleaned up the dining table, and Fang's father-in-law was left alone, and suddenly knelt in front of Wanying, and said sadly: "Niangniang, when Fang Cai Xiaobao and they carried the dead out, the guards told the slave me, Xiaobao said that he didn't dare to reveal it, and let the slave come to ask Niangniang." The slave knew what was going on at a glance, it was the slave who was blind, and he was so frightened when he first came to the palace. ”
"Father-in-law Fang, since you know, we won't hide it from you, who is the dead palace maid? What's the matter? I only punished her with twenty boards, and she dared to bite her tongue and kill herself, which is a capital crime to blackmail the Lord. Yun Niang said angrily. It's just that the matter of lamp oil is temporarily suppressed in my heart.
"Aunt Yun, don't be angry, when did this palace maid mix up in the palace? The minion has already found someone to investigate, and he will definitely give Niang Niang a satisfactory answer within a day. ”
"Father-in-law, what do you mean by this, you don't know the origin of this palace maid?"
"I really don't know, Jin Seju is not such a person, the palace maids everywhere in the palace are now working in one place, I see it every day, this face is really unfamiliar, I really haven't seen it."
"What does my father-in-law mean that this palace maid is also the palace that has only entered in the past two days?"
Father-in-law Fang nodded, and said apologetically: "This matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave, and the slave must have investigated it clearly and solved the difficulties and doubts in Niangniang's heart." ”
Yun Niang helped Father-in-law Fang, and said sincerely: "Since Father-in-law is helping to check, then ask Father-in-law to see what this is?" ”
"Lamp oil?" Fang's father-in-law was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Exactly, this little palace maid took advantage of the gap between us going to the back garden today, and secretly took this box of lamp oil into the mother's bedroom, and it was also because of Xiao Maozi's matter, we turned back halfway, so this little palace maid was blocked in the house by us and couldn't get out. I saw that this little palace maid was not honest, so I asked Xiaobao to drag her out to play twenty boards, but she bit her tongue and committed suicide. Isn't this even more weird? Father-in-law, you said that she was a little palace maid, what did she do when she came in with a bucket of lamp oil? ”
