One hundred and sixty-one, the power of small characters (I)
Chapter 160: The Power of Small Characters (Part I)
"Fujin, someone wants to see you."
I hugged Brother Seventeen and felt a little bit - this kid seems to have grown taller again this time and has begun to surpass me. At this time, the manager interrupted our difficult intimate time just now, but for the sake of Brother Seventeen, who seems to be more annoyed than me, I'd better forget it!
"Say, what's the matter?" You'd better give us a good explanation, otherwise- I'll look at the depressed expression on the face of the seventeenth elder brother, alas, you don't want to do it, go to Ningguta!
"Fu-Jin ......" The housekeeper also knew at this time that he seemed to have mistaken his master's good deeds just now, and his face was full of fear: "Fu Jin, the slave is not-it's not ......, it's because an old man came to you, and the slave ......" will interrupt your good deeds-he didn't dare to say this sentence to kill him!
"Who?" My deceased? Crossing over?
"She said her name is Qingniang, and it is said that she is the sister of Fujin that you recognize in the palace." The butler replied cautiously.
Green Lady? Isn't she in the palace? How could it be possible to run out so casually? "Oh, that's the case, you bring her here!" She came to my side with Ke'er, and Ke'er has been confirmed to be Lao Jiu's person, so what about her?
Which side of power does she represent behind her? I don't think that there is pure friendship in the palace anymore as I did at the beginning - it is impossible to survive in the palace without taking refuge in one side of the power! Even a rough girl like Qing Niang is the same - otherwise, where does she have the ability to run out of the palace?
"Sister!" As soon as the young lady saw me, she wanted to pounce.
"Stop!" I coldly stopped her excitement: "Master, I want to talk to my sister alone, is it okay?" "I bite the term sister very hard - in this era, even sisters can't be relied on, let alone whether they are relatives or not? If she has nothing to do, she will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I believe that her trip will definitely not be as simple as just wanting to catch up with me.
"Sister!"
I saw that the seventeenth elder brother had already walked away, and I couldn't hear our conversation, so I said, "Sister? How dare you, a little slave, call me sister? Who taught you the rules? Also, it is a capital crime for the palace maid to work privately, of course I can't protect you as the Seventeenth Fujin, you'd better give me an honest explanation! Otherwise, I will send you to the Zongren Mansion immediately!" โ
"Sisterโno, Fujin!" Qing Niang's eyes were full of tears, but she still swallowed back the question she was about to ask - she has been a slave and a maid in the palace for many years, and she has become accustomed to being submissive: "I will leave after I finish speaking, I will not affect you in Fujin!" โ
Acting! I hated it so much that I thought - the guest back then also pretended to be pitiful to lie to me! The result? She actually shook out all the things about me and the fourteenth elder brother! "You don't have to pretend anymore, I only ask you one thing, and if you answer honestly, I'll treat it as if I haven't seen you today - let me ask you, who sent you to the palace in the first place?" The palace is heavily guarded, and she can't get out without a way; Besides, she is a Han girl, and it is not easy to enter the palace - Qingniang, who is as simple as a blank sheet of paper on the surface, and whose eyeliner will it be?
"Yesโit's the third elder brother!" Qingniang bit her lip, and it was estimated that if she didn't answer, I would go to the records of the Zongren Mansion, so I had to answer honestly.
Attaboy! Ke'er and Qingniang - one is the ninth person, the other is the third person, this pair of enemies also pretended to be sisters and ran over to deceive my trust, this world! "Third elder brother? How did you get online? I asked her in the same tone as if I were asking an adulterer and adulteress.
"Noโno, sister!" Qingniang knew that I had misunderstood, so she hurriedly shook her hand and explained: "I didn't, it's just that the third elder brother helped my father back then - my father was a poor scholar, and then my family couldn't afford to support me, so I begged the third elder brother and asked him to help me arrange an errand in the palace, I really didn't help the third elder brother!" โ
"Really?" This kind of nonsense is almost like deceiving children, dare to use it to deceive me?
"I swear, at least I've never hurt you, sister!"
I don't know how many of these bullshit oaths I've made, have you ever seen me retribution? So, of course, I won't believe the so-called oath: "How do you swear?" The sky thunders and splits, and there is no corpse to die, and you will fall into hell forever, or will your soul fly away and never be reborn? โ
"I-"
"I don't need you, you, me and mine, even if you send it, I won't believe it!" I turned the nail cover on my hand and said coldly, "At this point, I'm afraid I will only believe that the dead will not betray me!" โ
"I don't want you to believe me, I'm here to beg you for something!" Qingniang suddenly knelt on the ground: "Qiyun, for the sake of us taking care of you for a long time, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to save Sister Ke'er!" Sister Ke'er is now pressed in the Internal Affairs Office, covered in injuries, so pitiful, pitiful! โ
"Ke'er?" You still dare to mention Ke'er to me, how can I know if your words are true or false - I remember when I first saw you, you also cried and begged me to help you save people, and even more ironically, it was also your Hakka sister! "You're doing this again, how do I know if this is another bitter ploy you're making?"
"No, it's true this time, Ke'er is really dying!" The young lady was crying with snot and tears all over her face.
"So what? Do you know who Ke'er is? She's the old nine! I maliciously reminded the young lady that I wanted to see how affectionate their "sisters" were: "You saved her, can your master spare you?" Besides, can you be sure that she also has a purpose in reaching out to you? โ
"Sister Hakka?" Qing Niang's face was dazed, and even her tears were scared back: "Sister Ke'er is from Brother Jiu?" No wonder she would do this, she was so stupid, so stupid! โ
"You're not very her?" Qing Niang's reaction made me curious.
"What is there to hate! After all, she used to be kind to me, and she has always taken good care of me! Qingniang looked at me, as if sighing and persuading: "In fact, she also has a lot of involuntary difficulties, she lied to me, but I didn't deceive her?" After all, everyone is a sister, I will not die without help! โ
Ke'er is so blessed to meet such a solid fool as you - provided that you weren't making a show just now: "What did she do?" โ
"Sister Ke'er sneaked into the imperial dining room and drugged the prince's diet." Qingniang briefly told me the whole process.
"Is she crazy?" Although the prince can all be treated as if he doesn't exist now, the prince is the prince after all, and the crime of murdering the prince is punished by the nine clans - Ke'er doesn't think about himself, but also thinks about his master: "It seems that the ninth elder brother is also crazy, if this continues, he and the eighth elder brother will definitely end much earlier than recorded in history." โ
"The prince's old illness recurred, and Sister Ke'er was immediately secretly escorted to the Internal Affairs Office for trial, and she has been sentenced a few times, and she is about to die, please, for the sake of her past feelings, save her!"
I smiled bitterly - Qingniang, trying to murder the prince is equivalent to rebellion, even if I have the heart, how can I have the ability to save her! I'm just a small fortune in this hierarchical Qing Dynasty - and now, if you want to release the guest, unless the emperor personally decrees it, you think too highly of me!
"You finally answer my question, how did you come out?" This is very important, if such a big thing happens, all the princes and elder brothers are afraid of it, not to mention the young lady who is usually very close to Ke'er? Who is it who wants to move the tide of trouble and deliberately wants to bring me out?
"I went to beg the third elder brother, and the third elder brother said that he was also being suspected by the emperor and could not do anything, so I said that I was going out of the palace to beg others, and then the third elder brother sent someone to send me out......"
Sure enough, it's the third elder brother, you are so poisonous! deliberately let the green lady go out to ask for help, on the one hand, it is good to find out who is standing behind the guest, on the other hand, you can also use the green lady to lure the snake out of the hole, and you can also stand aside and pretend to be a good person - it is so despicable and shameless that even I have nothing to say!
But now I don't have time to curse him, and now that the stupid girl has come running in a hurry, even if I want to kill her, it will be useless - others may think that I am trying to kill people and kill my mouth, and I want to cover up.
What I have to do is how to face the mutation in front of me - once the third elder brother thinks that the person behind this is me, he will definitely take action immediately. Once he starts to act, in order to protect Mingzhe, even if he knows that the person who did this is not me, he will put all the responsibility on me; Once I am convicted of murdering the crown prince, not to mention that no one can save me, even the seventeenth elder brother and my sister will be buried with me!
Ke'er, it doesn't matter if you're crazy, now you're going to drive me crazy even with me!
