Yuan Li touched his neck in fear, then looked up at Zhu Er, and whispered pitifully: "But I really heard what General Si Mu said, that day when I passed by the sixth bureau, I accidentally heard him talking to another person, I wanted to say hello, but I heard something, I was so scared that I didn't dare to make a sound, so I quickly hid in the dark and waited for them to leave, and I came out." ”

Zhu Er looked at Yuan Li and hesitated for a while before she asked in a suppressed voice, "What is it that scares you like this?" ”

Yuan Li was about to speak, but Zhu Er quickly stopped his words, and then walked to the door of the pantry with a vigilant look on his face.

"Grandpa Li, why are you here?" Zhu Er stood at the door and looked at Li Yun who was approaching, and asked with a far-fetched smile.

Li Yun looked at her with a cold face, "Niangniang is ready to get up, I see that you haven't come back for half a day to fetch hot water, come and take a look." ”

"Oh, the water is just hot, I'll bring it here." Zhu Er explained.

After sending Li Yun away, Zhu Er looked outside again and made sure that there was no one, so he put down the curtain and walked in, and quickly picked up the basin, "I'm going to serve Niangniang, get up, and you will wait for me at the corner of the door after I finish later." ”

Yuan Li responded, Zhu Er picked up the basin and made hot water and walked out of the pantry quickly.

Concubine Mei didn't sleep well and got up early. The genius in the east gave out the first glimmer of light, and she had already gotten up before the morning sun had fully risen.

Ruyoshi finished his business and posted it in the corner of the door. After Zhu Er finished serving Concubine Mei Shu, Bi'er rubbed her head for Concubine Mei, and she took advantage of the time to walk out.

As soon as he walked over, he saw Yuanli's impatient appearance.

Zhu Er walked over and leaned into Yuan Li's ear, "You haven't finished what you said just now, what the hell is going on?" She asked straight to the point.

Yuan Li leaned closer to Zhu Er and said, Zhu Er listened, and suddenly her pupils shrank. Then his face gradually changed. Before Yuan Li could finish speaking, she interrupted, "Impossible! ”

If she used witchcraft in the palace, I couldn't have known it! Zhu Er looked at Yuan Li in disbelief.

"Really?" Yuan Li's surprise turned into a daze.

"Of course!" Zhu Er is determined.

"Then why did General Si say that?"

Si Mu, this person Zhu Er, still knows, he is a real cronie of the emperor, not only the prince of Zheng Erpin County who has been knighted, but also the commander of the imperial city guards with real duties, and he is powerful.

Such an identity, if it wasn't for the emperor's personal orders, he would definitely not have checked it.

Such a person, if he does not have full evidence, will never protect his hands.

"Is it really General Si who said it?" Zhu Er was a little skeptical.

Yuan Li nodded heavily, looked at Zhu Er and said, "I heard it with my own ears!" Not only that, but I also said that Yuanli suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly found that he had lost his words or something.

Zhu Er caught it keenly, frowned and asked, "What else haven't you told me?" ”

Yuan Li covered his mouth and shook his head.

Zhu Er threatened, "Yuanli, if you don't say it, I'll go tell Niangniang now." She said as if she was leaving.

Yuan Li plopped down and knelt down for her, grabbed Zhu'er's skirt and prayed, "Sister, don't!" ”

"Then do you want to talk about it?" Zhu'er asked him with a straight face.

Yuan Li was about to cry, and looked at Zhu Er with red eyes, "That sister promised me not to say anything about this." ”

Zhu Er didn't respond. Yuan Li was anxious, "Sister, just because you don't know doesn't mean that Concubine Shu hasn't done it, the more people who know about witch Gu things, the more dangerous it is!" Or...... Those who know are long dead! ”

Zhu Er didn't speak, but the fear in her heart grew bigger and bigger. She is not very old, although she has served Concubine Mei Shu for many years, she has not been more than ten years. Before her and Bi'er, there were other personal palace maids, Qingxi.

When she was first transferred, she was just a little palace maid who sprinkled and swept over, and then she was slowly promoted to a second-class palace maid. At that time, it was the Qingxi sister of the Yipin palace maid who took her.

It's just that later, Sister Qingxi suddenly fell into the well and died.

When Zhu'er's heart palpitated, Yuan Li didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to whisper, "Sister, I'll tell you the truth." He rubbed his fingers together, his face full of unease.

Zhu Er retracted her distant thoughts and asked carefully, "What truth?" ”

"You know, Wen Cairen is now serving by the emperor's side." He kept his voice low.

Zhu Er's eyes flashed and she nodded. "And then?"

"There is a big eunuch beside her, named Liuji."

Zhu'er nodded again, "Well, I know." ”

"Actually, I and Naruyoshi, when we were in the court before, we have been friends for several years, and we have a good relationship." Yuan Li said, his fists clenched, "If he hadn't come to me, tell me what he heard, and tell me to be careful, I wouldn't have known so much." ”

Zhu Er listened to Yuanli's words, thought for a while, and then raised his face and looked at Liuji seriously and asked; "What the hell is going on?"

Yuan Li leaned close to Zhu'er's ear and whispered. He whispered a few words but stopped.

"And then?" Zhu Er turned her head to look at Yuan Li.

Yuan Li shook his head and said, "If it is true, we will all have to die with it." ”

Zhu Er pinched the skirts on both sides, the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out, and she muttered to herself, "Then what should I do......

"Sister wants to live?" Yuan Li looked at Zhu Er, his eyes were like torches.

Zhu Er nodded and looked up at Yuan Li: "What can you do?" ”

Yuan Li once again leaned into Zhu'er's ear.

"But...... What if it wasn't done by Concubine Shu, wouldn't I push myself into the fire pit like this? Zhu Er looked at Yuan Li suspiciously.

Yuan Li said: "Sister, I didn't let you go to the emperor to complain!" I'm telling you this to leave us a way out. If there is nothing to do, let's never reveal a little bit of these things, just as if we don't know anything. But if it really happens, and it is already a time of certain death, let's recruit these, is there a chance to save our lives? ”

Zhu Er lowered her eyebrows and thought quietly. She didn't reply.

After a while, Yuan Li added, "Sister, we don't have to take the initiative to do anything!" It's all just to watch the changes on the sidelines, nothing is safe, if there is something, the place where we will die, this is our chance, a chance to live! ”

Zhu Er still didn't respond. The winter wind blew the snow on the branches next to them and fell on the two of them.

"Then what if Concubine Mei really didn't do it?" Zhu Er lowered her eyebrows and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ouch, my sister, didn't I say it, if it's okay, let's treat it as if we don't know anything, what to do, and we'll be fine." Yuanli Road.

"I'm not talking about nothing, I'm not about not doing it."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Li didn't realize what this meant for a while.

After a while, Zhu Er stretched out her hand and patted the snow on her body, then raised her head and looked at Yuan Li's eyes faintly, "Anyway, who are you doing for you?" ”
