Chapter 477: The Invisible Man: Chapter 478: Verification

In addition to serious things, Commander Meng only told Hongluan to pay attention to his body and not to get tired; This made Hongluan look at the tall figures that disappeared between the jumps, and a sour feeling appeared in his heart - as if nothing happened that night, as if Lord Meng was still the original Lord Meng.

Of course, there are some differences, for example, Master Meng doesn't seem to joke with her anymore. She took a long breath, suppressed the sourness in her heart, and went to the palace slave courtyard. Life is like this, and it doesn't make people do what they want; Soon after she became a beggar, she understood this truth, and because she couldn't change it, she tried to accept it.

On a starless and moonless night, even if there is nothing to do, it will make people feel inexplicably in a bad mood, not to mention that so many things have happened today. When she returned to the room, she just ate two mouthfuls and fell asleep, letting Liu Er and the others take care of their hearts.

The next day, there was nothing going on all day, and the wind was calm.

But Hongluan knew that the palace was definitely not peaceful, and the death of Engineer Li was definitely not a trivial matter for the person who was hidden in the shadows: even if no one would care about Engineer Li's death, no one would care about the source of wealth that Engineer Li cut off - there are thousands of taels of silver in the account every month, and it can't be regarded as a decimal.

Looking at the accounts written down by Engineer Li, now that person is at a critical juncture with silver, cutting off people's wealth is tantamount to killing her parents, she knows that she and the person in the secret have become an endless situation; And the intentions of the Queen Mother and Yuan Hua made her shudder even more: the autumn wind is really cold.

In the afternoon, when Hongluan wanted to go to see the embroidery of the palace slaves, Xing'er came in with a curtain: "Chunfang has something to see the adult." ”

Hongluan almost forgot about Chunfang, of course, not really forgetting, but Chunfang was silent in the palace slave courtyard, as if she was a non-existent person; Whether someone is knocking on the door, or she has something, Chunfang will never be seen; Because of the relationship between the imperial concubine, no one treated her well.

Chunfang's low-key makes her a transparent person in the palace slave courtyard, and she is almost invisible except for three meals a day. Such a shrewd person, of course Hongluan let Xing'er and others pay attention, but you are paying attention to the fact that people are embroidering in the room, and they don't even step out of the door of the Women's History Academy, can you find it?

Unexpectedly, Chunfang stepped out of her door at this time: since the last incident on the eve of the new emperor's wedding, Hongluan has not seen Chunfang again.

Chunfang is a very shrewd person, and at first glance, he seems to have some of the same temperament as Liu'er: they are both a little cold, they don't like to associate with people, and they are also extremely smart; In fact, there is a big difference, Chunfang's forbearance kung fu is second to none in the palace slave courtyard, even Hongluan thinks that he will never achieve the level of Chunfang.

At this time, of course, she would not be free to take the initiative to come, and Hongluan was very interested in hearing what she would say: "Let her in." Nothing special these days, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words," she asked about Chunfang.

Xing'er stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This morning, a little eunuch from the East Palace came over, and she went out; I just came back, so I think I've changed my clothes and come to see my adult. ”

I went out, and it was still the East Palace.

Hongluan's eyes narrowed: "I see." Now she was more interested in meeting Chunfang.

Not long after Xing'er went out, Chunfang came in to greet her, she was very generous and decent, and she didn't have the rustiness and nervousness of not seeing Hongluan for more than a day: "I've seen the adult, the slave didn't bother the adult, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Hongluan shook his head lightly, pointed to the chair and said, "I don't have too many rules here, just sit down and talk." She looked at Chunfang and smiled: "I think you should have a lot to say, and you can't finish it for a while, and it's too tiring to stand." ”

Chunfang thanked Hongluan and sat down, and did not refuse: "My lord, the slave maid was invited to lunch by the old sisters today. She looked at Hongluan: "Adults have always been well-informed, and they should be able to guess who it is; It is the sister who served the imperial concubine with me, and the name in the past cannot be mentioned anymore, otherwise it will be the disrespect of the nobles in the palace - she was given the name Leng Yu by the imperial concubine, and now she is temporarily a female official of Zanhua. ”

Hongluan didn't expect Yuanhua to start so quickly, but he didn't speak, just listened to Chunfang's words; I believe that with Chunfang's cleverness, she will never tell things half-thoroughly: otherwise, she would not come to see Hongluan.

"She was entrusted with a big task by the Queen Mother, and she was in charge of the registration of the property, people, etc. in the East Palace, and after the state funeral, the people in the East Palace moved out, and the changes in people and property were also handled by her - she returned to the palace directly to the Queen Mother, and she only needed to inform the princess."

Chunfang looked at Hongluan: "She ate a little too much wine today, and tears fell into the wine, but she said, 'It's the taste'; She was silent and did not speak again for a long time.

Hongluan understands that the other three seem to be on an errand if nothing else, they will go to the dormitory bureau on an errand, but Leng Yu will not stay just to be a seven-rank female official; Chunfang also understood, so she said that she was temporarily receiving the position of the seventh grade, and just by looking at the things she was in charge of, she could know that the Queen Mother was very "loved" to her.

After the state funeral, Leng Yu will of course become the upstart in the palace, which I believe everyone in the East Palace knows; It's just that in the midst of the national funeral, no one will say it.

"Back then, we served by Niangniang's side and lived in a simple place, Niangniang once said that in the future, we will make our own decisions about our life's affairs, and she will definitely make decisions for us." Chunfang spoke again, with a little indifference: "In the end, my sister became Leng Yu. ”

Hongluan said dryly: "Niangniang is also helpless, and she is also blessed." "Not all palace people want to stay in the palace and be a nobleman, so she said this against her will; However, Chunfang is the person of the imperial concubine, and what she said is also the "family matter" of the imperial concubine, it is inconvenient for her to say too deeply as an outsider, and it is best to pretend to be confused.

Chunfang looked up at Hongluan when she heard this: "My lord, the crown princess smashed something in the palace today, and I heard that she also slapped Zi Xuanliangdi." I heard that ——," her eyes blinked: "The Queen Mother intends to crown you as a seven-grade female nobleman after the national funeral, and the crown princess seems to be, should be, and she has a big temper for this matter." ”

She was very dissatisfied with Hongluan's words, because she didn't come to ask for such clichés; And she is here, in fact, she has already turned away from the imperial concubine, and if she changes to Hongluan, she is light and irrelevant, of course, she will not stop there.

Hongluan's brows furrowed, and when she looked at Chunfang, her heart turned upside down: Chunfang's words are definitely not fake, but what the Queen Mother said to her yesterday, how could it be that it reached the ears of the crown princess today? Did Yuan Hua say it, or did the Queen Mother hint at it? If it was the Queen Mother and Yuan Hua, what they were trying to do.

Although there were many questions flashing in her heart, her mouth was faint: "You have been in the palace slave house for a long time, except for hearing you say a few words when you came, there is no such person as you in the palace slave house on weekdays; At this time, what are you for? She flicked the teacup with her little finger: "I can't do your life's events." ”

Chapter 478: Verification

Hongluan's words are tantamount to rejecting Chunfang.

The meaning of Chunfang's words is about to come out, because she is dissatisfied with the imperial concubine giving the cold jade to the emperor, so she wants to find another backer; Don't say that she herself is not enough to be a backer at all, and Chunfang's reason for finding it can't make Hongluan believe: Leng Yu should have shed tears before the new emperor married the prince, and Chunfang didn't go to see her at that time, why didn't she come to find herself.

Hongluan is rarely used, Chunfang is a usable person, but he is not a person who can make Hongluan believe and rest assured, how can he leave Chunfang by his side because of Chunfang's two sentences, and become an apricot or a willow.

Chunfang smiled faintly: "Because, now is the time; It turned out that it was not time. Adults don't have to guess too much, even if the slave maid was originally like Liu Er and others, how can the adult treat the slave and the maid? If Liu Er wasn't through Li Sigong's business, how could she be the same as Xing'er and the others in the hearts of adults. ”

"The strengths of slaves and maids are different from those of Liu'er and others, and the things they can do may be successful, but obviously they can't do better than them - that is to say, adults don't have to be slaves and maids, why should slaves and maids come to add icing on the cake, blaming Liu Er and others for their innocence, thinking that slaves and maids are fighting for status in front of adults."

"In the palace, it is actually yourself who can protect yourself, whether the slave can let the adult bother the slave and the maid, it all depends on the slave and the maid can help the adult do something;" Chunfang did not shy away: "Now, it's time." The slave thinks that she can help the adult, and the slave must find protection herself. ”

Hongluan looked at her: "You are still a little uncomfortable to confess." What do you mean when the time comes? ”

Chunfang smiled: "My lord, with your cleverness, why do you have to ask; The anger of the crown princess is not fake, and Leng Yu has officially become a chess piece, and the battle in the palace and the big battle are close at hand; At this time, the slave and maid will not come to look for the adult, but I am afraid that the adult will think of sending the slave and maid out in the near future. ”

"When there is a big change, how can you leave a variable in the courtyard?" She lowered her head and bowed: "The slave and maid are sincere, and they also said that they are willing to be a useful person, and they also ask the adults to give the slave and maid a chance." ”

Hongluan looked at her for a long time and said softly: "If what you said is true, then I want to leave a variable?" ”

Chunfang raised her head and looked directly at Hongluan: "Slaves and maids are not variables, they will be useful to adults." At least, I can speak in Leng Yu, and I can speak in front of the imperial concubine; As for the faithfulness of the slave and maid, don't you believe in the others and don't believe in yourself? The slave maid has not proposed to leave in the palace slave courtyard for so long, and this is where the loyalty lies. ”

Hongluan looked back at her: "I once said that smart people sometimes don't live long, aren't you afraid?" She never mentioned the imperial concubine.

Chunfang bowed her head: "What can you do in the palace even if you are afraid, if you are afraid, you can't save your life; Slave maid, I don't want to be the second Leng Yu. ”

Hongluan thought for a while and said, "When I go to ask the imperial concubine for peace in a few days, I can plead on your behalf." "The imperial concubine is the only person in the palace who does not fight or fight, and such a person Hongluan does not want to be an enemy of her.

Chunfang sighed: "It's not the imperial concubine, my lord." As you said, even if the imperial concubine agrees, how can the imperial concubine resist the decree of the queen mother? If you don't believe in slaves, that's it. She saluted Hongluan: "It's also the fault of the slave maid, I can't let the adults believe in me." ”

Hongluan didn't keep her and let her step out of the threshold.

"Your Excellency, there is no way back." Chunfang reached the threshold and turned around and saluted again, and then turned around and really had to leave.

Hongluan thought quietly for a while and got up, she was going to see Yuan Hua being used by the Queen Mother and Yuan Hua, she couldn't say that she didn't mind, but she definitely didn't want to be used by Yuan Hua like this: she had to die to understand, otherwise she would be attacked by the enemy in the future.

When I hurried to the East Palace with Xing'er and others, the crown princess was in the front of the mourning shed and had not yet returned; She quietly walked into Yuanhua's residence, but there were still people who recognized her: Zixuan and Xianxian had people who went in quietly afterwards, and soon came out with joy; However, no one went in with the crown princess, and no one knew that Hongluan had arrived in the East Palace.

The crown princess is in power in the East Palace, which is too superficial; The people's desire is not half a point, no matter what everyone looks like, in fact, these palace people and eunuchs who are mixed in the palace to look like ghosts, their eyes are extremely bright, of course, they have already found a way out: few people have chosen the crown princess.

And many of those who chose the crown princess were involuntarily; Because they are the ones who serve the crown princess, in the future, when the crown princess is good, they will ascend to heaven, and if the crown princess is not good, they will lose their lives - the rules in the palace are like this, they have no other way to go except to accept their fate.

Yuan Hua was a little unhappy when she saw Hongluan, because the Queen Mother also told Hongluan not to let her come and walk around: "There is something so tight, it can't be for the crown princess, right?" There are not many mistakes, "She guessed correctly.

Hongluan did not deny it: "The slave and maid are panicking, the words of yesterday and the queen mother and the mother have reached the ears of the crown princess today, and the slave and maid will be killed in a few days, isn't it empty talk to help the mother in secret?" ”

Yuan Hua got up, her long skirt dragged on the ground, and the fat skirt made her look very slender: "You are really bold, you dare to come to me and ask me face to face; Do you think I told the crown princess, that's why I rushed over? ”

"If that's the case, why did the Queen Mother and I talk to you too much yesterday, asking for your life is just a light word." Turning to look at Hongluan: "Or do you think I'm so stupid that I cut off my arm before I can do it?" ”

Hongluan kowtowed again and again: "Niangniang is angry, the slave doesn't have that kind of thought, but she is worried about Niangniang's situation and hurried over." She didn't quite believe that Yuan Hua did it, but now she was more certain.

Yuan Hua glanced at Hongluan: "Don't move that useless mind with me, I am not angry with you; The Queen Mother and my people don't know what we said that day, and you know that; If you want me to see, have you ever mentioned what the Queen Mother said to you? If you didn't come, I would have sent someone to ask you - you were too reckless to come. ”

Hongluan shook his head: "Where does the slave have that guts." She had only mentioned it to one person, and that was Commander Meng, but she believed that Lord Meng could only say it to the new emperor, and it would never be possible to bring disaster to others to herself.
