Chapter 12 The depth of the palace
"Sun Fuheng." Murong Ke called softly.
Immediately, a dark shadow parted from the flowers and walked quickly. Obviously, this outer courtyard housekeeper was always there, but Murong Ke was silent, he stood aside silently as if he didn't exist.
"Dead?" Murong Ke asked.
"I broke my shoulder, but I wasn't dead." Sun Fuheng replied respectfully, his voice flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
"Trouble." Murong Ke sighed lightly, sounding like blowing dust off, "Tomorrow, you will send the one who is not dead and this little one to Mrs. Fan." ”
"Yes."
Before the aftermath fell, Murong Ke had already left slowly.
Shi Zhongyu looked at Murong Ke's back in a daze, and didn't understand why someone could even walk so elegantly, obviously passing through the flowers, but not a single leaf touched his body. The night wind, blowing his three thousand troubles, flew and danced lightly, making him like a fairy figure from the middle of the moon, in any case, this image has nothing to do with killing ministers on the street and molesting royal noblewomen.
Really, is it a person?
Could it be that the moon is to blame and hallucinate her?
There was a cough from beside him, and Shi Zhongyu hurriedly gathered his divergent thoughts, and knelt in place with his eyes down.
"Your name?"
"Jade in the Stone."
"Steward Fan fell hard, but he never opened his mouth to cry out in pain, do you know why?" Sun Fuheng's topic changed very abruptly, "Because His Highness doesn't like to listen to annoying voices, he sealed his acupoint, so that he can't move or speak." ”
Shi Zhongyu's expression moved slightly, and his heart was bright.
"The little one understands." She said in a proper manner, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction, "Tomorrow I will be summoned by Mrs. Fan, and Xiao will naturally tell you the truth, and there will be no more than one sentence, and no one less." Other than that, nothing happened tonight. ”
His Royal Highness King Yu himself acted absurdly and willfully, but this did not mean that he wanted chaos in the palace as well. It is the situation that the superior wants to see the most, and Fan Tong's intention to violate her is a scandal after all, and if it spreads, it will definitely have a bad impact. Besides, King Yu has already handed over this matter to Mrs. Fan to deal with, which can be regarded as giving her a step, if she makes trouble again, it will become that she does not know how to lift.
And for her, she doesn't want this to be a big deal. After all, judging from the behavior of the people in the palace, it will definitely make her more unbearable, and it is impossible to sympathize with her, and maybe there will be dirty words that turn black and white upside down. If her three brothers couldn't hold back for a while, and got into trouble to avenge her, wouldn't she be a burden to others?
There are some things that must be endured. Wait until tomorrow to see Mrs. Fan's attitude, so that she can formulate the next step. In short, she won't be restrained. In order to protect herself and her friends, she may do whatever it takes.
Looking at Shi Zhongyu, who was almost curled up and kneeling on the ground, Sun Fuheng nodded secretly.
This little guy is smart, thoughtful, no one needs to say much, he also understands his situation, and his attitude is very generous. It's a pity that boys and girls are weak and useless, otherwise if they are innocent, they can be cultivated.
"You go down first." He shook his head slightly, "I'll find someone to call you tomorrow when the time is right." ”
"Yes." Shi Zhongyu answered, stood up and quietly retreated.
It wasn't until she got back into her room that she shivered with fear and anger. Just now, I was just holding it up in one breath.
She fetched a bucket of water, locked the doors and windows, wiped her body several times almost ruthlessly, and wrenched her clothes to pieces, only then did she feel that Fan Tong's disgusting smell was all eliminated, and she fell asleep extremely tired.
Early the next morning, when Qu Huyun and them came back, she didn't show any emotion, what should she do. However, Fan Tong did not show up as expected, and even the arrangement of work was replaced by a high-ranking family member with a face.
"I heard that Steward Fan was drunk yesterday, fell into the ditch and broke his shoulder, and he couldn't get out of bed for a month or two." Qu Huyun inquired about gossip, and his eyebrows and eyes moved, and he was very happy.
"He deserves it, why don't you fall to death!" Niu Man hated Fan Tong for the half-hung money that was deducted.
"Be quiet." Kang Hanbai booed, and then laughed out loud, "Xiaoyu has benefited, and today she was assigned to help in the east kitchen. ”
Shi Zhongyu smiled and looked quite happy.
The kitchen is divided into two parts, east and west, and the east kitchen makes rice from the inner courtyard, which is naturally exquisite and delicious. The western kitchen is responsible for the food in the outer courtyard, although the food in the palace is good, but after all, it is rough.
The east kitchen is Fan Tong's wife, and I heard that although the woman is vicious, her heart and eyes are not very bad. If you don't make a mistake, you can always mix some delicious food and drink, and you can bring it back.
Usually, this kind of good work is not the turn of the new low-level family members in the No. 3 Courtyard of Jiading, and even if there is, it is Wang Lao Shi and others who snatch it. Today, this beauty is spread on Shi Zhongyu's head, so that she has to suspect that someone behind her has done something behind. If it is Sun Fuheng, it may be a kind of mercy and compensation. If it is Fan Tong's handiwork......
No matter how good his wife is, she is also his person, if she takes the opportunity to toss her, what will she do? Forget it, we'll talk about it then. Since it is not easy to live, it is useless to worry.
"Yo, today the Jiading Courtyard can open its eyes and send a clean and neat one." When Shi Zhongyu arrived in the east kitchen, she was freshly touched by a group of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, and a few pinched her porcelain white face, which hurt so much that she almost shed tears. But I can't have a seizure, and my mouth has to be sweeter.
She obediently and skillfully coaxed a group of women of all ages to be happy, so that she could be less targeted.
"Not really." Another mother-in-law said, "The eyes of those who usually come to kill embryos are staring at the pot, as if they have never seen food in eight lifetimes." Sister-in-law Fan, you might as well talk to Jiadingyuan, and let this kid come in the future. ”
Fan Tong's wife is a tall woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she looks very bad-tempered, but she seems to be a straight person and will not hide her emotions. Shi Zhongyu carefully observed and found that she was just impatient with herself, but she was not particularly malicious, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground, knowing that her good luck today was completely Sun Fuheng's compensation for her.
After all, the outer courtyard is Sun Fuheng's world.
"Just do your job well, who uses whom, and you still have your turn to pick it up in this house?" Fan's sister-in-law is like a bell.
"Ah, Sister-in-law Fan is in a bad mood today. It's no wonder that your old fan fell and was injured, and he was distressed, right? Another mother-in-law came to talk a lot, "Is it just that she was really drunk and fell?" Did he raise some wild woman again, and was beaten by Sister-in-law Fan? The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law laughed.
Sister-in-law Fan was so angry that her face turned red, she slashed the kitchen knife on the vegetable pier, and scolded, "Are you uncomfortable?" Get to work! If something goes wrong, I'll pull out all your teeth and drive you out of the house!" ”
Seeing that she was really angry, the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law stopped talking and went to work. But they didn't seem to be too scared, they just made the rules.
Shi Zhongyu shook his head secretly.
It seems that Sister-in-law Fan will only be blindly vicious, but she can't shock the people below. She can still stay in this important position with a straight belly, I am afraid it is also stained with the light of Fan Tong and Wei Suo, plus her cooking skills are really good.
However, from these gossip, Shi Zhongyu got a useful information: Fan Tong is very and often has women outside. Fan's sister-in-law will make a fuss when she knows about these situations, and it will also be accompanied by domestic violence.
Also, Fan Tong is also a person who sees opportunities, and he really didn't reveal anything about last night.
"Xiao Yuzi, go and peel that pot of garlic." Sister-in-law Fan commanded in a rough voice.
Shi Zhongyu hurriedly did so, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. What is it called Xiao Yuzi, it sounds like a little eunuch.
The work is easy, the time flies, and when the lunch in each courtyard is all taken care of, everyone in the kitchen will stop to eat. Looking at the food in the bowl, Shi Zhongyu found that the help in the east kitchen was really short of fat, and the food was so good, there was actually mutton siu mai. It was said that it was left over from the inner courtyard, but in fact, it was made out and eaten together.
Shi Zhongyu ate a mouthful of fragrant food, and secretly wrapped a few for Qu Yun and them. Sister-in-law Fan saw it, but she didn't say anything. The palace is deep, the situation is complicated, the dirty and selfish hearts of the people, and the cruel reaction when they are offended by interests has been magnified, but she has no conflict of interest with these people at present, and she is not too embarrassed and maliciously treated.
It's just that after eating, a family member from Sun Fuheng's side came to her, saying that Sun Da's housekeeper had something to do for her. She knew that she was going to listen to Mrs. Houfan's fate, and she was a little nervous.
In the past, she always thought that she would be a low-key person, live quietly, and avoid the past five years. Best, no presence. It was only through yesterday's events that she understood that she must be familiar with the situation when she is in this environment, otherwise she will only suffer. Therefore, for the first time in the morning, she listened to gossip in a daze, and the information that Qu Huyun and Kang Hanbai told her made her understand the situation in the palace a little bit.
Yuwang Murong Ke is the seventh son of the emperor, the only one left by the first queen, and the emperor is both conniving and harsh to him. What is conniving is that no matter what he does, the emperor will do his best to protect him. The harsh thing is that he was crowned king at the age of fourteen, with brilliant achievements, and a large fief near the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in recent years, he has been detained by the emperor in Kyoto, and he cannot move freely.
He is only twenty-three years old this year, but he already has a side concubine and three concubines. According to the ancestral system, he should have had a main concubine, two side concubines, and concubines. It's just that his position as a concubine has been vacant for many years, and I heard that he has been pursuing a young lady recently. The side concubine was originally a two-person concubine, but one of them, the Hu side concubine of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was demoted to a concubine because of a taboo.
Now, the palace is presided over by the only side concubine, Zhao Bifan. But for some reason, she doesn't like people to call her Concubine Zhao, so the people in the house call her Mrs. Fan.
Mrs. Fan is the same age as King Yu, her father Zhao Zhixin is one of the three princes of Shaobao, and she is also the secretary of the military department, she is the authentic Miss Zhengzheng. It stands to reason that although this identity and origin are not as noble as those of princes, they are not enough to be concubines.
But she just did it.

……………… 66 Have something to say...............
Everyone voted, 66 saw all of them, and I was very grateful. It was everyone's help that made 66 temporarily ranked first on the new book list.
However, this guy Murong Ke turned his head in the moonlight and threw a wink in a charming manner: This king appeared yesterday, because Mao didn't hear the discussion in the book review area? Isn't this king evil enough?
Also, Xiaofen and PK tickets continue to smash it to help 66 maintain its ranking.
Another: About the identity and age of our family...... Well, as I said earlier, he has military exploits, and he will definitely not be fifteen or sixteen years old.
