Chapter 025: Watching the Tiger Fight from the Other Shore

Hongluan had been standing quietly in the group of palace slaves, bowing his head slightly, just like most people who were not very brave; It's just that the corners of her mouth showed a smile after hearing the words of the Yellow Palace Maiden.

After the Huang Palace maid finished speaking, she walked out of the door, but at this moment, Liu Xiu suddenly looked at Hongluan: "What are you laughing at?" Then without waiting for Hongluan to answer, she hurriedly took two steps and knelt down and said to the Yellow Palace maid: "Auntie go slowly, of course it is too annoying for our monthly money to be robbed, but things are a little strange in the eyes of the slave maid, and boldly ask my aunt, I don't know if there is such a thing in the palace?" Did Aunt Sun also take the monthly money from the people in our yard? ”

When the Yellow Palace maid heard this, she stopped and turned to look at Liu Xiu underground, and then she said to the palace slave behind her: "You go and see where Sun Cheap has gone, and come and repay me quickly." After watching the palace slaves go out, she turned around and glanced at all the palace slaves in the courtyard: "It's really the first time to take the moon money, if it wasn't for someone to remind me, I only cared about your money bag but was almost killed." ”

The smile on Hongluan's lips was long gone, she glanced at Liu Zhen who was a little backward on the right, and then looked at Liu Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, still standing in place without saying a word.

She really didn't expect Liu Xiu to say such a thing, it seems that Liu Xiu hates her very much, and she has to get rid of it quickly: Hongluan is not afraid, but she is a little helpless, because she and Liu Xiu really have no grudges, and I really don't understand why Liu Xiu has to put her to death.

The yellow palace maid didn't have much time to spare, no matter how the palace slaves' money bags were lost, she had to think of a quick way to get it back; has been an errand boy in the palace for many years, and has been the female official in charge of the Chenglu Palace, only thought about her slightly and then said: "Who was robbed of the money bag first, does anyone know?" She only needs two or three sentences to ask this kind of trick clearly.

The palace slaves are all standing in place, you look at me, I look at you, I really don't know whose money bags were taken first: their money bags were not taken away together, I don't know if anyone's money bags have already been taken away when their money bags are taken.

When the yellow palace maid saw the appearance of the palace slaves, she knew the answer: "Then didn't your money bags be taken together?" Which of you was robbed of his purse together, and whose purse was taken while he was alone? ”

The palace slaves finally reacted and answered the words of the yellow palace maid one after another.

The palace maid separated the palace slaves, and she looked at the person on Hongluan's side who was robbed of the money bag together: "Your money bag was taken away by the palace maid Sun together?" ”

Hongluan and others all responded with a "yes", but she has a big girl to testify for her, so she is naturally not afraid of being interrogated; After answering, she looked at Liu Xiu on the other side, and found that Liu Xiu's face had changed a little, but her eyes looked at Liu Zhen on her side: Looking at her appearance, Hongluan also knew that she thought she had lost the money bag alone, but she didn't expect that she was with the big girl.

In Liu Xiu's expression, Hongluan saw the word regret, but now Liu Xiu regrets it; Hongluan pursed the corners of his lips slightly, Liu Xiu didn't want to steal chickens and put himself in again.

The reason why Liu Xiuhui jumped out and said those words is clear: because in the past month, the palace slaves in this courtyard have also gone out two or three times, and other palace slaves have also gone out, but only once or twice; However, Hongluan often goes out alone.

Huang Gong Nu asked Hongluan and the others first, but of course she didn't ask anything.

When asked about Hongluan and Da Niu, both of them replied: "I don't know if Aunt Sun took other people's money bags when she took our money bags." "It's the truth, two people have nothing to be vain.

The lady of the Yellow Palace turned away and asked the few people who were robbed of the money bags alone, and they couldn't say clearly; The yellow palace maid's face flashed fiercely, and she just saw the palace slave she sent out coming back, so she waved her hand: "Go to the wall and kneel for me to think about it, if I come back, I can't remember who was the first person to be robbed of the money bag, you know." "Now she doesn't have time to settle accounts with the palace slaves, and when she takes back the money bag from Sun Bitche, she will come and kill them!

I believe that after the death of a few palace slaves, these people will not dare to come nonsense again. After disposing of Liu Xiu and a few people, she hurriedly greeted the palace slave who entered the door, and after whispering a few words, she lost her voice and said, "Went to Aunt Hua?" His voice had become a little trembling, and he didn't care about the others who lifted his skirt and hurried away.

Since Hongluan entered the palace, she had never seen the Yellow Palace maid so panicked, and when she met the assassin that night, she was only a little depressed, but her behavior was still very decent.

She gently glanced at Liu Xiu, who was kneeling by the wall, and then looked at Liu Zhen beside her, not wanting to collide with Liu Zhen's gaze; She didn't evade, and her eyes fell quietly on Liu Zhen's eyes.

Liu Zhen's gaze flashed slightly, and she also quietly met Hongluan's gaze; Her eyes were pleading, as if she was apologizing for what Liu Xiu had done.

Hongluan didn't say anything, and after retracting his gaze, he stood motionless and waited for the Yellow Palace Maid to come back: If the Yellow Palace Maid could come back. Of course, Liu Xiu Hongluan will not hold a grudge, not to mention that it is as simple as holding a grudge - Liu Xiu wants her life, and Hongluan regards her as an enemy, an enemy of life and death.

If she hadn't been with the big girl today, maybe Liu Xiu would have said that she had gone out a few times this month, and they were all alone: I believe that Liu Xiuding would not mind telling three points of lies, so that the maid of the Yellow Palace would believe her more; At that time, no matter whether there is evidence or not, the Yellow Palace maid will not let her go.

It's easier for the Yellow Palace Maid to kill a palace slave than it is to pinch an ant to death, right? I believe that she will have a lot of ways - Hongluan doesn't want to try it herself, but Liu Xiu's luck is good, she shouldn't be cleaned up by the Yellow Palace maid.

After waiting for almost an hour, someone came to call them to see Aunt Hua.

Before reaching Aunt Hua's yard, it was a mess at the corner of the road that had to be passed; A deep smile flashed in Hongluan's eyes, and his body was much lighter: I believe that I can eat enough in the future; As long as she can eat enough, she can live well, and she can also have good ideas and find opportunities to become a palace maid.

When she arrived at Aunt Hua's courtyard, the first thing Hongluan saw was the Yellow Palace maid kneeling on the ground, but she didn't cry hoarsely, and her body on the ground trembled slightly.

Sun Gongnu stood aside, bowing slightly and motionless.

Although there were many people in the courtyard, it was silent.

"This is your monthly money, right?" Aunt Hua's voice came: "Have you only received forty-five big coins every month for the past two months?" ”

After a slight hesitation, Hongluan and the others replied unevenly: "Yes." ”

The look on the faces of the three old palace slaves such as the eldest girl was very strange, and there seemed to be suppressed joy at the same time; But Hongluan and the others were all at a loss: Isn't every palace slave going to receive these?

"What else do you have to say?" Aunt Hua looked at the Yellow Palace maid underground: "The deduction of food, the deduction of monthly money, the palace slave under your command is the one who dies the most in all the courtyards - you argue that it is hard work at night, and I don't think much about it; However, I have already warned you, do you treat me like a log, and think that it doesn't matter if I listen to me or not? ”

Hongluan heard this and knew that the overall situation had been decided, although the status of the palace slave was low, but the royal family was face-loving, and he bought it with real money to work, if too many people died and too quickly, not only the royal reputation was not good, but the silver was also wasted.
