Chapter 047: Used as a knife
The time is very short, in fact, looking up and not looking up is only a blink of an eye; If everyone raised their heads, and Hongluan didn't raise it, it was naturally because she was too prominent, and it would be difficult not to be noticed.
What Hongluan cares about most is not whether the palace slaves will raise their heads, because the person who decides everything is not the palace slaves but the flowers in the house, and her thoughts are the most important: at the moment, she thinks that the person who raises her head has other thoughts, or will she doubt the person who does not raise her head?
Thinking of Liu Zhen leaving the courtyard, and thinking of the testimony of the palace slaves before Liu Xiu's death, Hongluan glanced up at Liu Zhen with a slightly surprised look, and then quickly lowered his head.
It won't be that everyone's mind is the same, but in this matter, all the palace slaves knew that Liu Zhen went to Concubine Rou in Liu Xiu's mouth, but now that she appeared in the room of the flower girl, how could it be a little surprising; And now the palace slaves are trembling because of Liu Xiu's death, so they will subconsciously raise their heads when they hear Liu Zhen's voice, but when they raise their heads, they will think of Liu Xiu's death, the rules of the palace and the hot hands of the palace maid, and they will quickly lower their heads.
The head was raised, but it should have been lowered again without seeing anything; I was too surprised to really glance at Liu Zhen, or I didn't look up at all, either I was calm or I had other intentions.
Hongluan didn't want to be any of them, so she looked up and down again in an instant, she didn't want to see Liu Zhen at all, she didn't want to see Qing'er, her eyes didn't want to fall on anyone at all.
But the moment she bowed her head, she felt it: it was indeed feeling rather than seeing, her movements were fast and she didn't think of looking at anyone; She felt Liu Zhen's gaze.
Liu Zhen's eyes were staring at her, staring straight at her.
Hongluan didn't see it clearly, but vaguely saw that Liu Zhen seemed to have turned around, but turned around; What does she mean by paying attention to herself like that? Or what did she say before the flowers bloomed? Hongluan's heart was raised high.
Even if Liu Zhen arrives first, the flower palace maid is Hua Bloom's henchman, and what she and Qing'er say Hua Bloom should be more believable; What's more, Liu Zhen came by herself, and it may not be a good thing to have such a mind and ingenuity in front of the flowers.
The reaction of the palace slaves was similar to that of Hongluan, except that the front and back of the head were different; Hongluan hesitated a little, so she looked up neither early nor late: in fact, it was so bad that if she wasn't particularly careful, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Qing'er entered, no one in the courtyard moved, and everyone stood there quietly.
Hongluan and the big girl are standing back and forth, except for the hair that is blown by the night breeze on the whole body of the big girl in front, her fingers have not moved, and she has not lowered her head to give Hongluan a look or anything like that; And Hongluan is very responsible, like the big girl, he hangs his head slightly and does not call or cough lightly.
Quiet, but depressing.
None of the palace slaves knew who would be unlucky next, if it was Hongluan or Liu Zhen, of course they didn't care; But if this incident affects the pond fish and affects them, it is not impossible.
Finally, there was another voice in the main room: "Hongluan, big girl, the female historian invites you in." "Originally, everyone called Hua Bloom aunt, because Hua Bloom didn't like people to call her a female historian; But after her niece came, she could only ask everyone to call her rank.
The person who came out to pass the word was still Liu Zhen. The big girl and Hongluan agreed and walked up the steps.
But Liu Zhen didn't turn around and leave immediately, she looked at Hongluan and sighed softly before leading the girl and Hongluan into the house; Anger appeared on the faces of both Hongluan and Da Niu, but neither spoke.
"Come forward." The flower bloom stopped the big girl and Hongluan from speaking: "Raise your head." Then she let out a long sigh: "It's too ruthless, even if it is an aunt's admonition, it will never hit the face." ”
Liu Zhen immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The slave knows her mistake and implores the female master and aunt to punish her." ”
Hua Bloom looked at the tea cup on the small table: "You are a clever person." This is not a joy or anger, which is why it makes people even more frightening.
Hongluan and the big girl both looked like they didn't know what to say.
Liu Zhen kowtowed again: "The slave maid was deceived by her own sister, and the big mistake has been made, I just ask the female master and aunt to punish him heavily, and give the slave and maid another chance to make amends." ”
Hua Bloom stretched out her fingers and flicked the tea cup gently, listening to the crisp voice, she glanced at the flower palace maid: "Your person, what do you mean?" ”
The flower palace maid bowed, and she was slightly stunned when the eyes of the two people collided, although puzzlement flashed in her eyes, she still said: "Liu Xiu is so stubborn, and he really needs to be severely punished for treating his companion's life like a mustard; As for Liu Zhen, her temperament is originally weak, and she has always listened to Liu Xiu's words and acted actually, although she is wrong, she is not guilty to death. ”
Hongluan knelt on the ground and heard that his expression changed slightly, but in the end, a little fear remained on his face.
The big girl was afraid from the beginning, but she didn't dare to move or say anything like Hongluan.
Hua Bloom's gaze turned over the two of them: "Well, you have a point; The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and I think it is still necessary to put a few boards; If the rules in the palace are wrong, you will be punished. ”
"Yes, Auntie." The maid of the flower palace respectfully agreed: "The slave maid also asked her aunt for her guilt, but the slave maid was not disciplined effectively." ”
Hua Nushi nodded: "You are a person who understands, I wrote down this time, and the monthly money will be deducted for a month, if there is anything else, I will only report." ”
"Thank you, auntie, the slave will do her best." The flower palace maid gave a salute.
Hua Bloom waved his hand: "It's good to be on an errand." Someone came, dragged her down and blamed her heavily, so that the palace slaves in the same courtyard looked at it and took it as a warning. ”
A look of relief flashed on both the faces of Hongluan and the big girl, and although they tried their best to suppress it, they still showed it; But Hongluan was uneasy in her heart, and Hua Bloom handled things too simply.
Liu Zhen cried but did not shout for mercy, but kowtowed to the flowers: "Thank you, Lord Nushi." ”
Hua Bloom's gaze fell on Hongluan and the big girl: "Well, you guys are injured. I think you don't have to go on your evening errand, but you can't miss to-morrow's errand. We have few men, and you know that. ”
Hongluan and the big girl were extremely happy and kowtowed to thank the flowers.
"Well, you will do your errands well in the future, and don't hold grudges in your hearts; Alright, you guys get out. "The flowers bloom and send away the red luan and the big girl with a word.
Hongluan and the big girl came out of the main room, and when the night wind blew, they found that the underwear on their bodies was soaked, and it was really cold; But the two of them didn't even dare to exchange glances, and walked to the side of the palace slaves with their heads down to watch Liu Zhen being beaten.
Liu Zhen closed her eyes, her face was frighteningly white, tears and sweat were intertwined, if she hadn't stuffed her mouth, she would have screamed.
Hongluan just looked at Liu Zhen's closed eyes thoughtfully.
The dull sound of the board hitting Liu Zhen could not be heard in the main room, and now there were only two people in the house, Hua Hua and the flower palace maid.
The maid of the flower palace said anxiously and puzzledly: "As soon as Liu Xiu dies, what if Concubine Rou wants Liu Zhen at that time?" ”
"What are you anxious about, Liu Zhen, her mind is too lively, I have to see what she can do;" Hua Bloom's fingers slid unconsciously along the tea cup: "But that Hongluan and the big girl also make me a little uneasy." ”
"They? It's stupid and no different from those palace slaves, and my aunt has seen it. The flower palace maid didn't care: "I see that Liu Zhen is very worried, just like my aunt said, her mind is too lively, but she doesn't see it at all on weekdays." ”
Hua Bloom glanced at the flower palace maid: "You, haven't you thought it through until now?" You are clearly being treated as a knife, and you are in too much of a hurry, too much of a hurry. ”
