Chapter 116: The Mysterious Handmaiden
Bow and thank you for the pink vote cast by the little goldworm worm cow, thank you for always reading my book!
The three princes presented the bloody copy of the "Diamond Sutra" at the 77th memorial of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and the ministers and workers of this matter were all in their eyes; As the emperor became more concerned about the three princes, the court workers were very eye-catching to spread the news of the three princes' blood copying scriptures. (et)
The top is good, the bottom will be very bad, for a while, all kinds of good words about the three princes circulated among the courtiers. As for the previous rumors that the third prince had sex during the filial piety period, it was naturally a rumor that some people slandered him.
As for who these people were, the courtiers were very wise to stop asking about them.
During this time, all kinds of news are true and false, and the people can't tell which is the rumor and which is the truth, and now the latest news comes out that the three princes copied a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" with their own blood in order to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and the people naturally believed it. Besides, it's the Midyear Festival, and they are all preparing to pay tribute to their ancestors, and they are naturally the most touched by filial piety.
In short, no matter what the purpose of the third prince was, his reputation for filial piety spread among the people. ——After Concubine Lin had a miscarriage, the Three Princes' Mansion took a look at it and pulled back a game.
Shen Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard the three princes' blood copying scriptures, and sighed that the Shangguan royal family was all ruthless people, the second prince could ruthlessly fall into Concubine Jiang's womb, and the third prince could ruthlessly attack himself, now Shangguan Changzhi has a headache, and it is not easy to come out on top among several princes!
Coupled with Concubine Mu, the enemy, she was very curious about how far Shangguan Changzhi could go without the help of the Shen family in this life.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's side concubine Jiang Shi laughed gloomily: "I didn't expect her to have such a day, half a catty and eight taels, no one is better than anyone else!" Her thin face showed an unusually rosy glow. The deep-set eyes also emitted an eerie glow.
After all kinds of unfortunate blows such as miscarriage, loss of children, and broken family, Jiang's whole person has been in decline, and the original face of the bright fairy spirit has long ceased to exist, but she doesn't care at all, even if it is as bright as ever, who will see it?!
Since she lost her son, Shangguan Chengyou has not come to see her. It's as if the previous love lingering was just a fog. Even Concubine De was angry with her because of the Chunfu case, and sent people to reprimand her from time to time, such an insult. But no one stopped it! The subordinates of the Second Prince's Mansion are accustomed to praising the high and stepping on the low, and they simply ignore her, the side concubine. After the second princess became pregnant, she was forgotten by the entire Second Prince's Mansion. If it weren't for the etiquette system, the prince's side concubine had to cry to the queen mother, maybe she wouldn't know that Chen Wanrou had been aborted!
"My first child was aborted because of you, and now, even if it is a life for a life! You should have today! Jiang smiled sheepishly and slowly shed tears. In fact, she also knew that the reason why her first child was aborted was because of Shangguan Chengyou's ruthlessness in order to win over the Chen family. This can't be blamed on Chen Wanrou's head. But she hated it. Hate, if it weren't for the root of the disease in the first child, her second child would not have died!
Thinking of the child who had only been in the world for a few days, she felt that her heart was empty and lacking a piece of life. Right now. Chen Wanrou is also like her, suffering the pain of cutting her heart and liver. In the final analysis, they are all poor people, marrying into the royal family is equivalent to marrying into a cannibalistic place, who has a chance of winning?
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, a fate or a destiny, it is difficult to say.
Jiang's laughter slowly became quieter, a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his thin face and deep-set eyes looked even more terrifying against the background of the blood at the corners of his mouth. However, even if it is so terrifying, not many people care. In this royal family, there is nothing missing, and the only thing that is lacking is that little favor and attention.
"Concubine Jiang went." Chen Wanrou's eldest maid Dansha's tone was a little gloomy, and she told Chen Wanrou about the latest situation in the house. Jiang's eyebrows fluttered when he was favored by the second prince, as if he was still in front of him, but in a blink of an eye, he went silently, it was really impermanent!
"Burn some paper money for her, let the chief of the house handle the funeral decently, everyone is gone, give her a posthumous mourning." Besides, the Jiang family is just taking office, and they are not dead. Chen Wanrou said lightly, and her face couldn't see anything. Since the miscarriage before the spirit, Chen Wanrou's already gentle temperament has become even quieter.
Seeing this, Dansha didn't dare to say anything, she was selected after the accident, honest and loyal, even if it was nearly two years, I couldn't guess what Chen Wanrou thought about Jiang, and after listening to Chen Wanrou's words at this moment, I couldn't help but sigh that the master was kind-hearted.
"Whatever kind of heart, it's just a poor person. Her today may be my tomorrow. The rabbit dies and the fox hurts the sad thing! Chen Wanrou's tone was still light, and her eyes were silent, only occasionally when she stroked her belly, there was a trace of fluctuation, there, there was once a child.
The imperial doctor of the Shang Pharmacy couldn't diagnose the cause of the miscarriage, guessing that it might be caused by overwork, and even Zhang Sheng, the head of the inner chamberlain, couldn't find anything suspicious after some investigation. Although there is no evidence, Chen Wanrou knows that her fetus must have been tampered with!
She has always been cautious, she will never be tired, someone wants to confirm the ominous miscarriage of her pre-spiritual miscarriage, this person must have an enmity with her, and must have an enmity with the Second Prince's Mansion, who could it be? ! Chen Wanrou remembered Chen Zhao's family, if she was an enemy, she would definitely be one, would it be her? But she doesn't have the ability to do things in front of the queen mother's spirit, who could it be?
It's a pity that Chen Wanrou lives in the Second Prince's Mansion, so she can't investigate this matter at all, so she can only secretly guess who it will be?
Whoever it is, I will pay the price, or I will die in hell and be burned by fireworks forever! Chen Wanrou's eyes widened slightly, and the heat of revenge in her eyes burned brightly, and she made this grand wish.
Inside Qingzhuju, Shen Ning was reading Ying Nantu's letter. Since the last time Tianning Temple parted, the two of them had not seen each other again. This time, Ying Nantu's letter was about the Five Princes' Mansion. That time during a walk under the moon in Tianning Temple, he didn't ask Shen Ning about Ying Gui, but told Shen Ning who was the mastermind behind the last An Jing assassination, and bluntly said that it was the Li family and the five princes Shangguan Changzhi! For Shen Ning, he felt that there was no need to hide it at all, and when it was a matter of life and death, she saved him. He has great trust in her, or more or less, and he also feels that Shen Ning has some unpredictable prophetic skills, so it is not surprising that he will now talk about Shangguan Changzhi in the letter.
"A suspicious handmaiden?" Shen Ning chewed on Ying Nantu's words, puzzled and secretly admired Ying Nantu, something she had been unable to do by herself. Innanto actually did it!
Since the rebirth. Shen Ning has always wanted to install people in the Five Princes' Mansion. However, the Five Princes' Mansion was heavily guarded, and the grasshoppers and Ruliu had never been able to place people in them, which was something that Shen Ning had always regretted! But I didn't expect Ying Nantu to open the palace two years ago, that is, when Shangguan Changzhi had just left the palace and opened the mansion. has already planted spies in the Five Princes' Mansion!
What Ying Nantu said in the letter was the news reported by the spy, saying that there was a strange maid in the Five Princes' Mansion recently, this maid was a rough maid who was responsible for cleaning, and she was the same as other maids in her dress, words and deeds. The reason why the spies found this maid suspicious was because they saw her enter the study of the Five Princes' Mansion, and in the end it was sent out by Li Ke'an - the study of the Five Princes' Mansion is a forbidden place, and everyone in the entire Five Princes' Mansion knows it! It can be seen that this servant girl has been allowed to enter the study by the five princes, but what reason does a rough servant girl have to enter the study? The only possibility is that this servant girl is acquainted with the Five Princes, Li Ke'an and others. But since I know the prince. Why do you want to hide people's eyes and be a rough maid?!
The spies originally wanted to find out the identity of this servant girl, but after knocking on the side, they found that no one knew what the servant girl was doing before and where she was from, so he had no choice but to pass the news to Ying Nantu and continue to monitor the servant girl.
Shen Ning didn't know why he became interested in this strange maid. Intuitively, she felt that this handmaid would be an important clue. After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Ning picked up the pen and wrote back to Ying Nantu, asking if he could let the spy draw the appearance of the maidservant girl so that she could see it. In fact, Shen Ning thought a little more, with the appearance of this servant girl, if she went out, people like Liudi and Grasshopper could also follow the vine to find out her condition.
After all, you can't enter the Five Princes' Mansion, but it doesn't mean that the maid will never go out, right?
A few days later, when Shen Ning saw the portrait sent by Ying Nantu, he was still taken aback, and he couldn't even speak! How could it be her?! Isn't she already dead?!
Qiu Ge happened to be serving Shen Ning on the side, glanced at the open portrait, and said in great surprise: "Isn't it? Wasn't she sold to the northern frontier? How could the girl have her portrait? Didn't she die in the North?! ”
At the beginning of the Flower Dynasty Festival, Qiu Ge took the opportunity to warn Chen Wanrou, she was naturally very familiar with it, the person in the portrait has changed a lot, and she has aged a lot, but the charm can still be seen at a glance!
But at the beginning, Chen Wanrou's personal maid was supposed to be sold to northern Xinjiang, but later it was rumored that she had died in northern Xinjiang, how did she become a rough maid in the Five Princes' Mansion?
"Yes, I also want to know, why did she go to the Five Princes' Mansion and become a rough maid of the Five Princes' Mansion!" Listening to Qiu Ge's words, Shen Ning also smiled, and said to himself in a relaxed tone.
I didn't expect that strange maid to be! When the news of her death came, she really believed it, she really thought that Jiao Didi would not be able to survive and die in the northern Xinjiang! I didn't expect her to appear in the Five Princes' Mansion, and the Five Princes' Mansion was saved? Or is it something else? It's really curious.
Why did you go to the Five Princes' Mansion? No matter what the reason, it must form an alliance with the Five Princes' Mansion! That was originally the person next to Chen Wanrou, what could there be that could make the Five Princes' Mansion rely on?! Did she participate in Chen Wanrou's miscarriage this time? It was just a blink of an eye, and Shen Ning had already thought about many things. She was puzzled about the alliance with the Five Princes, how could these two people have a relationship? No, it should be said, what's the use of the five princes?!
She wrote back to Ying Nantu about everything she knew, so Shen Ning once again saw Ying Nantu's ability. Soon, he found out that her parents had died, and even her people, officers and soldiers, said that they had died of illness on the way to the northern frontier - this was a brief past.
The statements of those officers and soldiers must be true, Ying Nantu is sure of this, and he also found out that there was indeed a girl of the same age who was escorted to northern Xinjiang to die of illness at that time, so this means that she had already been replaced by someone who had been transferred to the woods?
However, the Five Princes' Mansion will not spend so much effort for a servant girl for no reason, in the end, what is the use of Shangguan Changzhi taking her in? At this point, he and Shen Ning had the same doubts. However, he planned to verify his doubts, and it was extremely simple to solve his doubts, he only needed to catch them and ask them clearly, as long as he left the Five Princes' Mansion, he would have a way.
Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long. - He believed that due to the death of her parents, she would definitely leave the Five Princes' Mansion and find a place to worship them. The officers and soldiers who escorted them to Northern Xinjiang before said that the day when their parents passed away, remember that it was before the Midyear Festival, so he could just wait for the rabbit!
