Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Hand Behind the Scenes
Today is twenty-nine, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, everywhere is a New Year's festivities and liveliness, and the prison is equally lively.
Originally, except for some death row prisoners in the prison, the people who had completed their sentences had long since left, and those who were guarding the cell were still counting on being able to go home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Hey, you said that I told my old mother that I would go back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and this was brought on duty again, there is no reason for this."
It was too cold, and the two of them shrunk back together, discussing and complaining quietly.
"Don't complain, hurry up and buy some hot wine, and when we eat, we can drink and warm up."
The man nodded in agreement, and then burrowed into the snow.
The snow in the capital is getting heavier and heavier, and this goose feather snow has been sprinkled since last night, and now it has accumulated a thick layer on the ground......
Compared with these people who were on vacation and then pulled over to be on duty, the people in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion felt even more unlucky, leaving the Prime Minister to sit on the dry grass in the cell with a frown, he was alone in a separate cell for him, at the moment he was a little embarrassed, looking at the people patrolling around outside the cell, he sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, a man with a sharp face and monkey cheeks came in, and he sat up at once, and the man was holding a food box in his hand, saying that he had brought him prison food.
The two of them were very close, and while handing the food through the gap, this person looked around, and whispered: "I heard, Miss Liuxiang went to the General's Mansion, and I heard that she went to find the Young Master of the General's Mansion." ”
Prime Minister Liucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his heart, which had been hanging all night all night, was a little more relaxed when he heard this, and then asked: "Let you deliver the news to Lu Guogong's house, did you hand it out?" ”
Lu Guogong is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his speech in the court has a very heavy weight, and Lu Guogong's mother was the nurse of the emperor when he was still the prince, and the relationship with the emperor is extraordinary, and the emperor can listen to more or less what he says.
A greedy gaze flashed in the man's eyes, and the prime minister really couldn't do it, so he begged in a low voice: "As long as Lu Guogong is willing to come to the rescue, I will still have the glory of staying at home in the future, and your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." ”
"It's not that I'm not willing to help, after the emperor issued a holy decree early yesterday morning, let alone entering the Guogong Mansion to see Lu Guogong, the small one didn't even enter the door of the Guogong Mansion."
"Hey, over there, what are you talking about? Deliver food, send food, why do you still say it, go and go, go farther. ”
The patrol cell leader was also full of complaints, and when he saw the man squatting there for a while, he immediately walked over, and the man was startled, and then hurriedly said, "The little one will retreat, and this will retreat." ”
After the man left, the head of the Li cell didn't pay attention to the prime minister, and there was an explanation from the above, and everyone was not allowed to go near the prime minister's cell.
Although the will of the palace has not yet come down, they all know that this good life of staying in the prime minister's family is over, but this kind of thing is really hard to say, so there is no punishment for the prime minister's family, but this prime minister used to be high, but now he has become a prisoner, and his heart is very uncomfortable.
Prime Minister Liu's face was really ugly when he heard people say that the door of the Guogong Mansion had not entered, but he didn't dare to say anything, even if he hadn't eaten or drunk for a day or a night, he couldn't eat, and he always had a breath in his heart.
Lu Guogong's Guogong Mansion is very far from the palace, out of the Chongzong Palace Gate, walk west for a quarter of an hour, you can see the gate of the Guogong Mansion, the word Guogong was still inscribed by the emperor himself, this special and honor, the whole capital, except for Lu Guogong, there is no other,
Lu Guocheng was in the small Buddha hall in his backyard, and an elderly woman in front of him was leisurely swallowing a hookah, and only after a while did he shake his head and said: "It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the milk can't even wait for these two days, so she has the intention to clean up the minister." ”
This old woman speaks, like a breeze blowing through the leaves, her throat has a kind of hoarseness because of the perennial smoking hookah, the milk in the old woman's mouth is the saint of today, and now dare to call the emperor a nurse like this, except for the emperor's nurse, there is no one else.
"However, the prime minister saved his son's life back then, if his son doesn't care now, his son will not be safe."
"You, I didn't say I didn't care, but don't worry, wait patiently first, it's the next year, and the emperor won't kill him. Besides, I haven't heard of any will for the nurse to come down again, and eighty percent is waiting to see who has something to do with the Liujia, and wait, the nurse's current methods are amazing. ”
Lu Guozheng Mo is in his fifties, with a square face, and he is also upright, at this moment, a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled, and when he heard this, he also calmed down his somewhat impetuous heart, and nodded again and again: "Yes, everything listens to my mother." And now that the incident happened suddenly, the son saw the direction of the wind in the capital, and suddenly changed. ”
Hearing this, the old woman pulled the corners of her lips fearlessly and said, "What happened suddenly? Are you really the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion a month ago who was kidnapped by the Assassins for no reason, and then disappeared for more than a month? It's just that someone borrowed the hand of the nurse and wanted to knock down the big tree of the prime minister. ”
"How so? If it is true that someone has always wanted to harm the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his brother is also a shrewd person, how can he not know?"
"He met someone more cunning than himself."
The old woman didn't know who it was, but she vaguely felt that there was a hand behind her back, which was promoting the development of all this, maybe from the time when the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion was taken away, or even earlier, maybe from the time the Prime Minister's Mansion was given marriage, the Prime Minister's Mansion became a thorn in the side of some people.
She looked at the pouring snow outside the window and shook her head and sighed: "It is said that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but now this is the tree is falling and scattered, by the way, I heard that the daughter of the prime minister's family is still out, you can go outside to find it secretly, if you find it before the emperor's people, you will bring it to the house, and the child in the province is alone outside, lonely and drifting." ”
"Mother rest assured, my son will try his best to find it."
Lu Guogong is also a good worker, so he hurriedly sent someone to look for someone privately.
It was already noon, and the snowflakes in the sky had no intention of stopping, Ning Zimo was afraid of the collapse, looked at the jade slave who was adding charcoal to the stove next to him, and asked in a low voice: "You say, what excuse should I find to block Huating Garden for eight months?" ”
Now that the child is more than three months old, after a while, there will be a significant bulge in the belly, which makes people see that the rumors must not lift the roof of the General's Mansion.
"Miss, you can't hide, you have already reached the end of the year this year, at most another year, the master will definitely give you a marriage."
When Ning Zimo heard this, her thin lips pursed, and she asked worriedly, "If Daddy knows, it's no wonder that he is sick because he is angry." ”
Yu Nu also looked at Ning Zimo's stomach and said, "Miss, the fetal pill has been simmering on the stove." Go and fetch it, slave and maid, and you can drink and sleep for a while. ”
When Yunu arrived at the medicine shop, Cuiping happened to come to change the tea leaves, passed by the medicine shop, walked in and asked, "Sister Yunu, what's wrong with Miss Yan's body?" Why do you have to drink medicine every day?"
"It's okay, Miss Yan is afraid of cold every winter, and this heavy snow doesn't stop, Miss has drunk medicine and warmed up, so she wants to take a nap."
Yunu lied without blinking his eyes, looked at the teapot in Cuiping's hand and said: "By the way, Miss Yan hasn't drunk tea recently, it's best to use honey and red dates, the red dates have been pitted, and they will be rolled three times with hot water and then sent to Miss to drink."
Cui Ping just nodded at this, and then asked, "Miss drinks a kind of tea every day, doesn't she feel boring?" Recently, I got a new Kuding tea, and the old man said that it was very good, and he was telling the housekeeper to distribute it to every yard. ”
Yu Nu, who heard the word Kuding, was shocked, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, Miss loves sweets recently, and the tea is very good as long as honey and red dates, or honey fetal chrysanthemum tea, and you can't give Kuding tea to Miss to drink." ”
A suspicious look flashed on Cuiping's face, and she said angrily: "No, no, what are you doing so loudly, Sister Yunu." ”
When Yu Nu heard what people said, he also felt that his voice was a little louder, and said again and again: "It's okay, I just watched the fire just now and let the sparks splash on the back of my hand." ”
When this Cui Ping heard this, he walked away with a pout.
Seeing that the person was gone, Yu Nu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although this Kuding tea has many effects, but pregnant women can't drink it, Yu Nu pursed his lips, and didn't dare to delay more, so he quickly poured out a bowl of medicine, and disposed of the medicine residue according to the old rules, and then went to Ning Zimo with the medicine.
Yunu looked inside at the window, and when she confirmed that only Ning Zimo was sitting on the couch alone, she knocked on the door and went in, but after entering, she found that Ning Xuanli was also in the room, and she wanted to raise her feet and walk back, but it was too late.
Ning Zimo's heart also jumped to his throat, but Ning Xuanli took the medicine, as if he hadn't found anything, but he was even more reluctant to say, "How long will you have to drink this medicine?" ”
Ning Zimo was silent, just opened her mouth and drank the medicine, the hair in her ears went down, Ning Xuanli reached out to her ink hair to her ears, and continued to say while feeding her medicine: "By the way, Yujin still listens to you?" ”
"Well, she's very good, her martial arts skills are high, her work efficiency is fast, and she doesn't talk much."
He nodded, and waited until the bowl of medicine was drunk before he put down the bowl, and the jade slave took the bowl and chopsticks, and hurriedly went down.
"By the way, how did you settle Liuxiang, I heard that the Criminal Department has issued a notice to want Liuxiang to be wanted in the whole capital, if someone sees her enter our general's mansion, it's not a joke."
"No one dares to come to the General's Mansion to search for people, don't worry, the prince has already come to ask me for someone, but I just hold it in my hand and don't hand it over to the prince."
When Ning Zimo heard this, he didn't understand the person in front of him more and more, and asked bluntly: "Why are you unwilling to give away Liuxiang?" What use can the prince have for us? ”
