Chapter 134: Bonds
So, the original prince's mansion and his entourage moved to a separate residence two days after Yin Linxi was deposed.
Not only was Yin Linxi's military power deprived, but even the number of servants was quickly reduced to only three people, namely a small servant serving Yin Linxi's daily life, a cook and an old woman in a raccoon clothes.
And in such a situation, compared with the carved beams and paintings and brocade clothes and jade food when I was in the Prince's Mansion before, my heart has become more down-to-earth than ever.
Although this place is indeed desolate and pitiful, not only the walls are so moldy that mottled marks can be seen everywhere, but even the ground of the sleeping house where the rest is covered with weeds.
But in addition to the more difficult conditions here, there is no intrigue, and Yin Linxi does not have to deal with the courtiers, which is the most gratifying place for me.
It's just that the three girls who are following me are suffering.
"Princess, are we really going to live here in the future?" At this time, Momoshin squatted on the ground and looked at the weeds that came in through the cracks in the house, with an expression of infinite surprise on her face.
I was cleaning up the dusty table top in the bedroom, and after listening to Taoxin's question, I simply stopped my work and deliberately raised my lips and chuckled, "You little girl, what's wrong?" Seeing that the environment is difficult, you want to escape? β
"Princess!" Momo's face turned red in a hurry, so she got up and stomped her feet repeatedly, "I didn't mean that." β
"Look at you, I'm kidding! Are you serious? I looked at her amusefully and continued my work.
This led to a little sadness in Momo's eyes, "Princess... I just think... How have you ever done such a thing? That emperor really went too far! β
"Shh
Hearing her mention Yin Linxi's father, I was shocked and immediately covered her mouth and looked left and right.
After making sure that there was no one around, he said with palpitations, "My good heart, do you still think this is the Prince's Mansion?" Such arrogant words can't be said again in the future, you have followed me since you were a child, you should have heard a little something, right? Do you know what it means to have ears on the wall? β
After this sentence, Momoxin finally realized that what she said was inappropriate, so she touched the tip of her nose and said shyly, "I'm sorry, princess, I blame me for not thinking so much for a while." β
"You..."
With that, I sighed slightly.
Finally, I remembered and asked, "By the way, where did Yin Linxi go?" Why didn't you see others? β
"Oh, you said His Royal Highness the Prince..."Tao Xin almost blurted out, and then remembered that Yin Linxi was no longer the prince, patted his head again, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, the second prince just went out with a man." β
"Man?" I raised an eyebrow slightly, "Who?" β
Momshin shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden "ouch" sound outside the house.
Then someone started crying.
What's going on?
I glanced at Momoxin, and when we pushed the door open, we saw Jingyun pointing a sword ahead with a cold face.
And the person sitting in the mud and crying in front of him was not Yin Linxi's little imperial uncle Yin Mian?
"What's wrong?"
I pressed the hand holding the sword and looked at the teary eyes.
Unexpectedly, when the man in the mud saw that it was me, he immediately ran towards me with open arms.
"Stop!" I was so frightened that I was about to hide inside.
Fortunately, Jingyun stopped him in time.
Yin Mian was blocked, so he had to look at me with his mouth flattened, and called out pitifully, "Sister, it's me!" β
"Big sister?" Momoheart and Feather were amused by the title.
In embarrassment, I had no choice but to lower my eyes, in fact, I had already scolded Yin Mian thousands of times in my heart.
"Eldest sister, I heard from the concubine that the little rice ball was cut by the emperor's brother, are you okay?"
When I raised my eyes and saw the concern on Yin Mian's face, my heart couldn't help but soften a little.
So he shook his head, "It's okay, but why are you here?" There's no one around, so can't it be that they sneaked out again? Does the concubine know? β
Asked like this, Yin Mian immediately made a bitter face, "The concubine mother forced me to learn from Mr. Niang, I came here secretly while the guards were not paying attention, since the eldest sister is fine, then I have to go back first, otherwise it will be bad if the concubine mother shows up!" β
After saying that, as if playing a trick, he took out a large bag of things from his chest and stuffed them into my hand.
"What is this?" I wondered.
opened it a little, only to realize that the big bag in his hand was heavy and soft.
Yin Mian smiled warmly on Yin Linxi's face that was similar to Yin Linxi's seven or eight points, "This is what I took out from the palace, I am afraid that I will be seen by the concubine, so I put it on the eldest sister's head first!" β
"You" I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
Before he could guess his intentions, Yin Mian turned around and ran out a few steps, waved at me, "That big sister, I'll go first!" β
"Huh?" I stretched out my hand.
But the guy just ran out with all his might.
"What is this?"
After he left, Peach Heart came over curiously and glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed when she saw the softness in the baggage, "Princess, this"
I was silent, just staring at my hands.
After a while, he handed these things into Jingyun's hands, "Jingyun, you are steady, and your kung fu is the best among us, so it is most appropriate for you to keep this thing, and then find a suitable opportunity to return these things to the palace in the future." β
"Yes!" Shocking Cloud nodded slightly, then put things away.
"Second Princess."
At that time, at the door of the mansion, a chamberlain dressed in dark blue palace clothes came over with small steps.
I couldn't help but frown.
I had a bad premonition in my heart, and I heard the chamberlain plop and kneel in front of me.
"Who are you?"
The waiter was walking on thin ice, and when he heard my bad tone, he simply kowtowed to me and said, "Back to the second princess, the slave is here to deliver a letter to you!" β
"Deliver a letter?" The corners of my mouth moved unconsciously, "Could it be that the queen sent you here again?" β
The chamberlain pressed his head even lower.
I scoffed, but the queen Li was really happy to see our jokes.
"Say, what letter did the queen ask you to send?"
"Lord Dugu Ao and Shen Youxiang joined hands with Jin Damang to play the emperor in front of the palace and demand that the second prince be severely punished."
"What do you say? What does that mean? My heart skipped a beat, and then I grabbed the waiter's collar, "Tell me clearly!" β
The chamberlain's legs trembled like chaff, and he looked at me in horror and said, "It is said that Jin Damang has a copy of the evidence that the second prince embezzled the silver taels allocated by the court for the reconstruction of the disaster area when he was in Jiangbei for disaster relief, not only has the autograph of the second prince in the book, but also a bookkeeper under Qian Dasikong, who was in charge of the disaster relief silver at that time, also went to the palace to identify, saying that he saw the second prince withdraw the money and silver, but it was not used on the victims. asked the emperor to punish him severely. β
"What a joke!" I pushed the chamberlain to the ground, "Just because of the words of a bookkeeper and a fake evidence that anyone can fabricate, you want to convict people?" Isn't that ridiculous! β
The waiter looked at me with great anger, and stopped talking.
I was really impatient, "If there is anything else, just say it, anyway, your master doesn't want to see me angry, it's better to be angry?" β
"Slaves are terrified!" The chamberlain kowtowed again and continued, "This morning, the emperor sent General Qian Xu to ask the second prince to go to the palace for inquiry, but I didn't expect the second prince to admit that the signature on the literal evidence was his, the emperor was furious, and immediately ordered the second prince to be exiled to the northwest, and General Qian Xu was also demoted to the northwest because of his intercession. β
With these words, several thunderbolts exploded above my head, causing me to lean and almost fall.
"Girl!" Jing Yu hurriedly supported me, "Girl, don't worry, how can you be credulous just based on this person's words, it's better to ask the second prince first." β
"Yes, princess! This may be a deliberate attempt to harm you, and it may not be! After Momoshin said this, she glared fiercely at the ground.
The chamberlain immediately said with a bitter face, "Second princess Mingjian, the slave was really sent by the queen mother to deliver the message, and the queen mother also asked the slave to say to the second princess that the weather has repeatedly looked at the second princess to take care of her body!" β
"Really?" I stared at the ground coldly, "Then, you also bring me a message to the queen's mother, just say that I really understand her kindness, but if you are considerate like this, you might as well keep it and say it to the emperor, maybe the emperor will love the mother even more after hearing it!" β
I deliberately put the word "more" emphasized.
The chamberlain glanced at me secretly, then quickly lowered his head, slowly got up and retreated.
"Girl, if you just said that, I'm afraid it will attract the queen's resentment!" Jingyun is inevitably worried.
"So what?" I sneered, "She sent the letter again and again, deliberately looking at our jokes through the eyes of these minions, and I guess there must be no less bad behind it." β
"What now?"
What to do...
I narrowed my eyes slightly, then raised my hand and gently pushed away the hand that Feather was holding me.
"I went to Shen Xiao and asked him why he did this."
I'm going to go out.
But outside the door, it seemed that I had already expected my movements, and when I was about to lift my steps, Shen Xiao's voice floated in, "Even if you ask, what can you change?" The emperor's decree has been issued. β
The words fell, and an inky figure walked in from the door.
"Shen Xiao! How dare you come! "Taoxin took a step ahead of me, angrily snatched the sword from Jingyun's hand, and pointed the sword at the inky figure with a trembling sword, protecting me tightly behind me.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Xiao raised his chin slightly, and his eyes with thin ice were full of disdain.
"Peach Heart, stand down!" I let out a low snort, staring at Shen Xiao with a fixed gaze.
"Princessβ" Momoshin glanced back at me.
After seeing my appearance, he finally retreated without saying a word.
"What are you going to do?"
