Xiao Linzi kept laughing in her heart: Sister Wanying really took the bait, it seems that Xiao Linzi's trick is very effective. Thinking of this, he made persistent efforts, struck while the iron was hot and said, "Sister, do you really recognize Xiao Linzi's younger brother?" ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

Looking at Wanying's sincere face, Xiao Linzi also had some sincere feelings, and said seriously: "Sister, Xiao Linzi will be your sister in the future." ”

"It's a deal."

Xiao Linzi was half for General He and half for himself, holding the bouquet of red plums and said, "Sister, this bouquet of red plums is not given by General He, even if it is folded by Xiao Linzi himself, it is given to my sister." ”

Xiao Linzi stuffed the flowers into Wanying's arms, and in a hurry, Wanying fell into the ginseng box by mistake, and happened to fall on the viewing flower rock on the side of the road. The box fell apart at once, and a ginseng the size of a baby's arm fell out.

Wanying didn't care about the excuse, quickly put down the red plum in her hand, knelt on the ground, gently took out the ginseng from the snow, took out the handkerchief she was carrying, and carefully wiped the snow on it.

Seeing this, Xiao Linzi also leaned down, saw the ginseng in Wanying's hand, and couldn't help but say: "This ginseng has been cultivated into a human shape, if not a thousand years, it must have eight hundred years. ”

After he said this, he took it from Wanying's hand very carefully. "Xiao Linzi has only heard of ginseng dolls, and he has never seen them, and today he can be regarded as having a long insight." Raised her head and asked Wanying, "Sister, where did you get this ginseng?" ”

"The concubine asked Wanying to give it to Concubine Liu."

"It's still the heart of the noble concubine Bodhisattva, and I don't keep such a good thing for my own use."

"The person who worships the Buddha in the concubine, the ginseng that has become a human form in this way cannot be used. Wanying explained.

"Xiao Linzi looks at the shape of this ginseng, most of it is ginseng from Goryeo." Xiao Linzi muttered to himself, and suddenly fell silent. After thinking about it, he said with a confused face: "No, this year's Korean ginseng, there are a total of five in the palace." All locked in the queen mother's small treasury. Such ginseng, even if there is such ginseng outside, I am afraid that the emperor and the queen may not be able to use it, how can the concubine have it? ”

Xiao Linzi inadvertently said such a sentence, Wan Ying was also alert, the moment she saw the ginseng just now, Wan Ying's head also flashed such a thought, but all kinds of internal reasons, how could Wan Ying understand it?

"Hurry up and put it away, if you delay your work, Wanying will be scolded." Wanying said.

"Sister Wanying wants to bluff Xiaolinzi, Aunt Bitong is the kindest person, she never beats and scolds the slaves, and the concubine is a living Bodhisattva, and she is reluctant to step on even an ant."

Wanying picked up the brocade box that was upside down in the snow, carefully packed the ginseng into the box and said, "Little ghost, I can't hide anything from you." ”

Xiao Linzi touched his head with one hand, and said with a smile: "How can Sister Wanying bully Xiao Linzi like the general, it's really not a family, don't talk about a family." After speaking, I was afraid that Wanying would clean him up and run away.

Wanying heard Xiao Linzi joking with He Youan, and became angry for a while, and was about to knock on his head to warn him, but who knew that he ran away in a smoke, and Wanying was angry.

Picked up the red plum on the ground, ready to turn around and enter the Rongshou Palace, suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint red where the brocade box fell just now, squatted down and saw that there were dents in the snow, sure enough, it was the place where the brocade box fell just now, but what is this faint red?

Could it be that the red silk in the brocade box fades when the snow water fades? Impossible, this is Ziwei Shrine, the silk used is the best quality, and there is no possibility of fading in water, so what is it?

Wanying still can't understand the mystery in this.

Xiao Linzi also said just now that such a big ginseng is impossible to have in the case of the noble concubine. What's going on with this ginseng? What is the red thing in front of you?

As soon as the inspiration moved, the body trembled, and a cold chill swept over the whole mind. Could it be...... Poison?

Wanying put down the brocade box and red plum, pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and with her right hand trembling, she pierced the tip of the silver hairpin into the red snow of Natuo, a cold wind blew, coupled with the extreme fear in her heart, and in an instant Wanying almost fell to the ground and collapsed.

The silver hairpin only touched the snow, and saw that the original silver white on the hairpin's head quickly turned black. Wan Ying sat paralyzed on the snow, the black poisonous rust turned into countless bloodthirsty insects, crawling up Wan Ying's body, biting through Wan Ying's guarded skin, devouring Wan Ying's frightened blood, while growing, just a thought, all over Wan Ying's body.

"What should I do? This ginseng is poisonous. Do you want to tell Aunt Bitong? Do you want to give it to the concubine? There was also a voice in Wanying's head saying: "It's none of your business, how many lives do you have that you can get involved in such a thing?" Have you forgotten all the words that your parents told you before entering the palace? ”

That's right, my father and mother told me many times that the affairs in the palace are obscure and complicated, and you must not meddle in other people's affairs. According to my aunt's instructions, I sent the ginseng to finish the errand, and as for whether Concubine Liu drank it or not, it could only be left to fate.

Thinking of this, another voice sounded in my ears: "Shi Wanying, Shi Wanying, it turns out that you are also a femme fatale who disregards human life." What's the difference between you and an executioner? How are you different from those who disregard human life? ”

Wan Ying heard this voice speak extremely excessively, so she argued with him, "No, Wan Ying is not a femme fatale, Wan Ying is not an executioner, everything is not Wan Ying's idea, Wan Ying just ran into it by accident." ”

The voice said, "Buddhists often say that people are good, although blessings have not come, disasters have been far away; People are evil, although the disaster has not come, the blessing has been far away. Now you want to be alone, disregarding the lives of others, although you have not done evil, you are also aiding and abetting, the demons in your heart have been planted, and disaster is not far away. ”

Wan Ying listened to what he said, which was also Wan Ying's own heart, so she asked him: "Wan Ying doesn't want to do this, what do you tell Wan Ying to do?"

The voice said, "Unspeakable...... Unspeakable...... Realize it for yourself. ”

"What should Wanying do?" Wan Ying said it herself unconsciously.

It is definitely not possible to hide the ginseng by yourself, not to mention that such a valuable thing must be recorded in a book, in case you ask one day, how many heads does Wanying have enough to cut off? This is one of them. Second, embezzling the property in the palace itself is a capital crime, not to mention that this ginseng has been infected with poison, and when the incident in the east window happens, the conspirator must know that Wanying has discovered the secret, and he will definitely kill Wanying. Third, if my aunt asked if the ginseng could be sent, how should Wanying answer? Fourth, since ginseng is given to the noble concubine, if Wanying is unknown, wouldn't she ignore the noble concubine in danger?

Thinking of the above four points, I still told Aunt Bitong first, and let my aunt decide this matter.

Stepping on the stone steps in front of the gate of Rongshou Palace, there was a cold air coming from the back. couldn't help but slow down, Wanying only entered Rongshou Palace for a few days, although it was said outside that Concubine Guigui and Aunt Bitong were kind-hearted, but after all, everyone was the same. If this ginseng itself is the idea of the noble concubine, Wanying will be more auspicious in the future.

But in just a moment, this thought disappeared, if it is a noble concubine who has lived in the same palace for 20 years, why do you have to wait until today? Concubine Liu is already approaching, wouldn't it be easier to just wait for the concubine to breathe?

On the red wall of the Zhumen in front of him, the golden relief of the dragon and phoenix is lifelike, and there is an ice pillar more than a foot long hanging upside down under the eaves.
