Chapter 5: The Identity of the Original Owner
Yin Mingchen was taking off his coat by himself, listening to his words, looking at the somewhat messy bed, hooked the corners of his lips and said: "She is also stupid, if she doesn't help her, just her guts, sleeping next to the king tonight, she won't even dare to get up at night, let alone go out and conspire with others." ”
Late at night, it was pouring rain outside the house, Jing Wen held the handkerchief tightly with both hands, stuck to the door, and listened to the movement outside, but there was no other sound except the crackling sound of the heavy rain falling on the roof and the ground.
She knew that there was no one in the courtyard at this time, and because of the rain, there were no servants at the gates of each courtyard to keep vigil.
She is very familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the white dress she wore when she came from the palace today must be eye-catching when she goes out at night, but she has been rummaging in the house for a long time, and she hasn't turned out a single piece of clothing.
She has always been timid and cowardly, but now she just wants to find the jade pendant given by her mother, and her legs are a little weak before she goes out.
However, the tea on the table had already been cold, and it was only after drinking a few cups that I could stabilize my mind.
glanced at the appearance of her pillow stuffed on the bed, covered by the gauze curtain, even if Qingzhu was not at ease, he couldn't see the clue when he looked at it twice at the door.
Then he gently opened the door and slipped out.
In the guest room, the person who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and called softly: "Qianran." ”
The man lying on the tea table immediately got up and walked to the side of the bed in three or two steps: "Master." ”
"Keep up."
In just two words, Qianran knew what was going on, nodded yes, leaned by the window and listened to the movement outside, and when he saw that there was no sound, he pushed open a gap slightly and looked out.
I saw a white dress floating by in the distance, walking very fast, and the person was scared when he thought about it.
The description was given to the man on the bed, and he saw that the man who was still in the wind during the day, and the man who was slightly panting when he was walking got up briskly at this time, just when the woman had turned the corner, and Qianran was about to follow.
The curtain was lifted, the man was dressed in white obscene clothes, his face was hidden in the dark, and said: "If you dare to walk in the dark in white clothes, you can really be stupid, but white clothes will be white, maybe it will be self-defeating to make people who see it think that it is the ghost of the third lady of the Qi family, and scare those who are troublesome." ”
Qianran was stunned for a moment and asked, "Follow?" ”
The man raised his hand, and the window opened instantly, and the man who was still standing by the window disappeared in an instant.
Besides, Jing Wen, who has walked outside the lattice garden, this lattice garden was originally her courtyard, but her body was already lying in the ancestral hall at this time, presumably the maids and servants here went to the ancestral hall to keep vigil for her.
She stood in the pavilion and looked at the locked gate not far away, and her heart was worried.
This... But how do you get in?
was in a daze at the courtyard gate, and suddenly there was a dull rattling sound in front of her, and the frightened Jing Wen's heart was raised to her throat, and the whole person hid behind the pillar.
Covering his eyes with his hands, he said in his heart: Now it's doomed, is there anyone in this yard?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of "popping" something falling to the ground.
Jing Wen, who was frightened, trembled her whole body.
After waiting for a while, she didn't see anyone talking, she poked her head out from behind the pillar, and couldn't help but make a few people who followed her in the dark speechless, can this woman still be stupid, dressed in white in the middle of the night, do you think that others will not see you if you hide behind the pillar and cover your eyes.
In fact, Jing Wen didn't think that others couldn't see her like this, but she subconsciously moved after fear, at this time there was no sound, she poked her face out of the palm of her hand to look, and saw that there was an oil umbrella not far from her feet, and the courtyard door in the distance also opened by itself, and no one appeared.
This made Jing Wen feel shocked, someone was in the dark, but this posture was helping her? Or wait until she enters the hospital and then try to harm her?
In the distance, a maid holding a lamp was scolding on her lips, and the master of her family was really good at tossing.
During the day, he scolded Aunt Na for being a cheap concubine by the rockery, and was heard by Mrs. Jing in the prince's mansion, and was known by the lady lying on the sickbed, and punished her to go back and copy the rites a hundred times.
Just when she was full of fire, Aunt Han's mouth was broken, and she had to mumble a few words next to her.
The angry second lady dropped the brush directly and entered the house, and she didn't even eat dinner.
Now it's okay, the second lady can be woken up hungry when she falls asleep in the middle of the night, clamoring for food.
On this big night, where is she going to get some food for her young lady?
Just thinking about it, I saw a white shadow floating in the distance, and in that direction, it happened to be the courtyard of Qi Yitong, who had just died for three days.
She was so frightened that her face turned white, and she threw the lantern and screamed: "Ghost! ”
So she ran towards her young lady's yard.
This ghost scream was very sharp, which made Jing Wen, who had just entered her yard, frightened, and hurriedly ran into the yard and closed the door.
trotted all the way into her boudoir.
The house is very dark, although she is not afraid of ghosts or anything, but when she entered the courtyard just now, someone had already seen her, presumably a lot of people will come over soon, and when she saw that she was a princess's concubine in this courtyard, even if she had ten mouths, she couldn't tell.
Just as she hid her umbrella in the cabinet and thought about which corner she wanted to hide into, she saw the sound of fire breaking behind her, which frightened her into a sharp breath, and turned around in an instant, and saw that there was an extra man behind her.
At this time, he was lighting the lamp oil on the table, and the light of the fire reflected his resolute face.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hooked nose, sharp facial features, and a black robe, he turned out to be the Nine Emperor Princes.
She had seen him at a banquet in the palace before, but... How did he end up here?
The man looked at the woman with wide-eyed eyes and a face full of fear at this time, smiled coldly, and reproached: "It's really ink, it came out so late." ”
Saying that, he raised his hands and looked around, the pink curtain in the inner room of the screen was windless and automatic, and the rain was pouring outside, and he couldn't help but look back at her with satisfaction: "Yes, I'm very good at picking a place, this courtyard is really not a big place for ordinary people to come now, you pick this place to meet me, it's finally a little better." ”
Jing Wen was about to cry at this time, she came out in the middle of the night just to go back to this courtyard to see if the jade pendant her mother gave her was still there, if it was really said by Nagule and taken away by Qi Fangyi, she still had to find a way to get it back.
But how could the Nine Emperor Princes follow him into here and say these words inexplicably.
Could it be that she knew each other before this body and the Nine Emperor Princes?
Now they're having a private meeting? Looking at the attitude of the Nine Emperor Princes, it doesn't look like it.
The man sat on the wooden bench and looked at the woman standing motionless by the door, frowning impatiently.
said in a deep tone: "Why, I haven't seen your master for half a year, I don't recognize it?" ”
Jing Wen hurriedly shook her head, her voice was glutinous, and she replied cautiously tentatively: "Know... Recognized. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man slapped the table, making a dull loud noise, and the man said in a low tone, roaring angrily: "I don't know why don't you hurry up and come and bow down." ”
Jing Wen was already timid, but when she saw the anger on his face and the sound of slapping the table, she suddenly weakened her legs and spread them on the ground.
Yin Xuanhe, the ninth prince of the Ninth Emperor, looked at the timid woman in front of him, frowning slightly, Jing Wen was sent by him as a congratulatory gift from Yin Mingchen at the age of twenty-two, she was originally the daughter of the Shangshu family of the former dynasty, and her appearance was superior, and the Shangshu of the previous dynasty took their family to hide outside for more than ten years, and now the older the emperor is, the more suspicious he is.
A few years ago, he suddenly issued a holy decree on a whim to clean up the remnants of the former dynasty, forcing Na Shangshu to have nowhere to hide, and later he helped Na Shangshu's family to flee to the outside world.
And as a reward. It is the tens of thousands of taels of family property and this concubine.
At first, he felt that his appearance was good and wanted to keep it for his own use, but he found that his emperor's old man was getting more and more suspicious, so he had no choice but to deal with it in the hands of the sick seedling.
In recent years, no matter what he did, the emperor Lao'er was suspicious of several of their princes and had some temptations.
is the only one who is slack off on Yin Mingchen, who is hanging for half his life.
You can't go wrong with putting this hot potato in his hands.
But it's only been half a year, how can this woman's temperament change so much, can it be ...... Has her heart shifted to the Lord?
Thinking of this, without saying a word, he directly stepped forward and grabbed the neck of the woman who was sitting on the ground.
The slender neck was instantly strangled by that big hand, and before Jing Wen could react to what was happening, the person couldn't breathe.
The man gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you have two hearts?" ”
Jing Wen couldn't understand what he was saying, but at this time she also knew that she couldn't nod, grabbed his wrists with both hands, and shook her head desperately, feeling that her neck was about to be broken by him the next moment.
When the man saw her shake his head, he snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and threw her aside.
Ignoring the woman who had been coughing behind her, she turned around and sat back on her seat, and asked in an unkind tone: "This king didn't send you to King Chen's mansion to let you enjoy happiness, I heard that you sent Ming Huan, who was assigned to you by this king, to be a rough maid." ”
After hearing this, Jing Wen quickly recalled in her mind, is there someone named Ming Huan in her yard?
But she had only been there for two days, and there was only one green bamboo by her side, and as for those third-class maids who didn't even raise their heads, they didn't even remember their appearances, let alone their names.
He was speechless for a while, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would make him angry by saying the wrong thing and his neck would be choked.
With a "snap", the man's brows furrowed, the pair of Danfeng eyes flashed cold, and he slapped the round wooden table again: "Ask you!" ”
This frightened Jing Wen's face turned pale and trembled.
Before I had time to open my mouth, I heard the sound of the iron chain at the gate of the courtyard outside, and through the doors and windows, I could see the torches outside illuminating the scene outside the door.
Jing Wen only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe in an instant.
When he turned his head again, the person sitting on the round bench was long gone.
Leave only one sentence: "This king has never appeared here today, if you say the wrong thing, be careful of your tongue and your life." ”
She got up from the ground in a bit of a panic and looked at the boudoir where she had lived for more than ten years, but she didn't know where to hide.
In a panic, she only felt a tightness around her waist, and in the blink of an eye, she actually flew to the top of the beam, and a few teleportations, came to the curtain in front of her bed, the window was wide open, and flew into the heavy rain.
