Chapter 125: Sending a Dead Head to Concubine Rong
Because the time was urgent, Li Guifei and the others were still waiting, and Concubine Rong and Shen Ning didn't have time to say anything, the two agreed on Rong Ya's affairs, and hurriedly left Zhong Cui Palace and walked towards Kunning Palace. (8 ┇ 0 ┇ Book ┇ House)
On the way, Shen Ning also said that the Shen family prepared another gift, but it was inconvenient to bring it into the palace, so it could only be placed under the rockery tree of the Wind Lotus Courtyard near the palace wall, hoping that Concubine Rong could pick it up tonight.
"Courtier, I hope that the mother will like this gift!" At the end, Shen Ning said with a smile.
When she said this, Concubine Rong was a little interested: What kind of gift is so mysterious? Can't you bring it into the palace yet, and you have to pick it up yourself? What exactly is a gift?
Concubine Rong looked at Shen Ning's smile, a little curious, but she didn't ask what the gift was, anyway, as long as she went to get it after the banquet, she would know what it was, and the most important thing now was to go to Kunning Palace to participate in the queen's Thousand Autumn Festival.
When Concubine Rong and Shen Ning went to Kunning Palace, Li Guifei and Shen Yu and others were already seated, and the queen was wearing court clothes and sitting in the middle of Kunning Palace, receiving congratulations from the harem concubines and court wives.
As soon as these two people walked into Kunning Palace, they attracted the attention of the queen, and the anger on Concubine Rong's face was very different from her kind appearance in the past, while Shen Ning, the little girl, was frightened, but she wanted to cry, which really didn't match the congratulatory atmosphere of Kunning Palace, what happened?
Seeing this, the queen asked Concubine Rong with concern: "What's the matter?" Why are you so angry? ”
Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong was still full of anger, and replied lightly: "It's okay, the hairball was injured by the slave maid of the Shen family!" How unreasonable, this slave really doesn't understand the rules, and even goes to tease my hairball! I scolded the slave and maid, but I didn't expect that the slave and maid were weak and disappeared in two strokes, which is really unlucky! ”
Concubine Rong said that, and accused the Shen family of having no way to teach slaves, and she kindly changed her clothes. But it scarred the group.
Concubine Rong attaches great importance to hairballs, and the queen also knows, no wonder she is so angry. Just killed a slave maid with a rod for a brute, and didn't ask the Shen family, this is also a slap in the face of the Shen family in public!
No wonder the Shen family's faces became extremely ugly. The queen made a round: "Okay." Don't talk about these things. It's just a slave maid, after the banquet, you can give a slave maid to the little girl of the Shen family! Let's have a feast. ”
When the harem concubines and women heard Concubine Rong's words, their minds also turned a few times. It was not obvious on his face, but it was only in line with the smile of the queen's banquet, but he thought about it in his heart.
Li Guifei is naturally very happy, Concubine Rong really doesn't know whether to live or die, the Shen family is now prosperous, you kill other people's slaves and maids with a silent rod, and it depends on the master to beat the dog, now Concubine Rong has offended the Shen family miserably, and the women also think that Concubine Rong is too faceless to the Shen family. No matter how you say it, it is also the slave maid of the Zhongshu Shilang family, and it is said that the level of Rong Concubine is not the third grade, which is also bold.
After half of the banquet, Concubine Rong got up and said goodbye to the queen, saying that she would return to Zhongcui Palace to see how the hairball was doing. The tone is wilting.
The queen thought of the much-loved Persian cat, and said to Concubine Rong that she would leave the table halfway, but she also understood, waved her hand and let her out.
Out of Kunning Palace, Concubine Rong still felt a little wilted. She said in a still somewhat annoyed tone, "Except for the thin branches, everyone else should retreat!" Don't follow! Hongu wants to take a walk by himself! ”
When the palace maid heard the master's order, she retreated with a smile, leaving only Shuzhi, the big palace maid, to follow Concubine Rong. The master and servant took a slow walk in the palace. After walking, I came to the foot of the rockery of the relatively remote Wind Lotus Courtyard. She motioned for Shuzhi to look for it according to Shen Ning's explanation, and soon found a beautiful box under a pile of leaves.
Rong Concubine and Shuzhi returned to Zhongcui Palace with the box in their hands, and when they opened it, it turned out to be a human head, Rong Concubine couldn't help but scream, and was so frightened that Comb Zhi was about to close the box!
This Shen family! How could you send a dead man's head to the mother!
When Concubine Rong saw the human head clearly, she smiled, wrote down the favor of the Shen family and accepted the Shen family's name.
In her opinion, this dead man's head is the most important vote of the Shen family, and it is more important than sending her sister to her!
Let's talk about the scene of Kunning Palace. After Concubine Rong left, the atmosphere in Kunning Palace was still as usual. Because the queen mother wants to keep filial piety for the Empress Dowager Ciyi, there is no wine at the banquet, and she can't use the wine to retreat, Shen Ning finally looked forward to the end of the banquet, and it was really difficult to maintain such an expression of grievance and anger.
Inside Qingzhu's residence, Qiu Ge was a little uneasy, thinking of what happened earlier, and thinking of Shen Ning's entry into the palace, he couldn't sit down. Xia Ci and Dong Fu on the side couldn't help but joke when they saw her like this: "Qiu Ge, why are you so restless?" The girl will be back soon, and when the girl returns, she will choose a family affair for you! Ha ha. They didn't know what she was worried about, and their tone was cheerful and warm.
After the spring poem, Xia Ci and Dong Fu have successively set up family affairs, both of which are married to the young stewards of the house, and the way out is also good. Only Qiu Ge resolutely did not settle for marriage so early, but often became the object of their jokes.
Qiu Ge didn't bother to pay attention to their jokes, until he saw Shen Ning come in with a happy face, he put down the big stone in his heart, and insisted on keeping vigil for Shen Ning at night, and drove Xia Ci and Dong Fu down.
"Girl, that head ......" Qiu Ge asked while resting the bead flowers on his head for Shen Ning. This night, she was worried about this matter, and she didn't know if Concubine Rong really went to the rockery to take the box away, if someone else found out, how would this be good?
"Don't worry, Concubine Rong is a thoughtful person, she must have taken the box away, Qiu Ge, you don't have to worry too much......" Shen Ning's tone was very relaxed, and he comforted Qiu Ge with a smile.
That head, but the gift she carefully prepared for Concubine Rong, she must be very satisfied!
Qiu Ge remembered the head she saw at her cousin Qiu Wu last night, and suddenly felt nauseous, but she didn't know what to say.
Over the years, she has seen more and more things by Shen Ning's side, and even fresh heads, she has been fortunate to see them once. There wasn't much fear other than feeling nauseous, and Qiu Ge didn't know if he should admire himself.
When Shen Ning saw Qiu Ge's appearance, she knew that she remembered the heads she saw last night, and felt a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, this matter is also thanks to Ying Nantu, with the help of his strength, things can be done so smoothly, it seems that he is looking for a chance to meet him, Shen Ning thought so.
"Qiu Ge, we have made sufficient preparations in advance, how can we not succeed? Everything is foreseen, and the function is exhausted, how can there be mistakes? Shen Ning said with a smile, not knowing whether he was comforting Qiu Ge or encouraging himself.
She remembered the whole story, nodded, and confirmed to herself: Everything is like this, yes.
Earlier, Shen Ning sent a letter to Ying Nantu, asking him if he knew someone who was strong in martial arts and trustworthy, because she had something important to do, and she didn't tell Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing about this matter, so she could only do it quietly; At the same time, the people of Ruliu and Grasshopper are not good at martial arts, and the only person she thinks of asking for help is Ying Nantu.
After receiving Shen Ning's request for help, Ying Nantu did not ask her what she was doing with someone to come to, but quickly helped her find a person, this person's name is Chen Cheng, and his martial arts are very trusted by Ying Nantu, and he is ready to be sent by Shen Ning at any time.
Shen Ning knew that Ying Nantu was very reliable, so he was completely at ease with Chen Cheng, and instructed Qiu Wu to secretly contact Chen Cheng to make preliminary preparations.
There is no need to investigate the location, but it is not easy to let Qiu Wu and Chen Cheng find the target accurately, because she has not seen that person either, she only knows the name and that Zhuangzi, and the confirmation of specific things and goals still has to be done by Qiu Wu and Chen Cheng themselves, she can only hope for them.
At midnight on August 19, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and a thrilling battle was taking place in a Zhuangzi at the foot of Bishan Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. Lin Qingnan, the master of Zhuangzi, exclaimed with fear on his face while resisting the fierce attack of the masked man in black: "Who are you? I, Lin Qingnan, have no grudges against you......" As he was speaking, a fierce sword from the black-clothed man on the opposite side slashed over and intercepted his words, but the man did not answer his question, but intensified the offensive more and more, making Lin Qingnan unable to parry, and retreated.
Lin Qingnan began to exclaim loudly, under such a fierce fight, none of Zhuangzi's servants appeared, Lin Qingnan knew that they couldn't come, and he didn't know who the two people on the other side were, all the moves were killing, and they were basically going to kill him, he had done a lot of things in his life, and he didn't know where he provoked the two evil stars.
This fight didn't last long, and with a "snap", the sword in Lin Qingnan's hand fell to the ground, and there was also a sword across his neck, and the hilt was held in the hand of the man in black. "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the cellar of my Zhuangzi......"
Lin Qingnan begged for mercy before he could speak, but he saw that the man in black had a strong wrist, and the sharp blade had cut off his head, from beginning to end, Lin Qingnan had not heard a word from the man in black, and he didn't understand why he lost his life like this, his servant? The gold, silver, and jewels in his cellar haven't been used yet......
The man in black took out a piece of black cloth, wrapped Lin Qingnan's head with his hands and feet, and said to the other man in black: "Go!" The two of them leaped into the night.
From beginning to end, the two men in black said such a word. The whole process, less than half an hour, Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain returned to calm.
The servant of Zhuangzi woke up from his deep sleep the next morning and saw the headless male corpse lying in the courtyard, and the frightened sound caused countless birds in other mountains and mountains, and no one knew why such a thing happened.
