Ning deeply felt that the palace really collided with his ankle, and it was good to be used to it. Fortunately, the Chunyu Imperial Doctor, who treated Wanning's injuries last time, comforted her after the examination and said that as long as she took care of it well, there would be no adverse consequences, which reassured her. This time, because I stayed in the water for a while, I caught a little cold, and I drank a big bowl of medicine and sweated, so I felt better.

However, Wei Wan was not as lucky as her, with a foot injury and falling into the water, plus he was frightened, he had a high fever that night, and he didn't retreat until the next evening. When she was sober, others asked her how she fell into the water, and what she said caused a storm.

It turned out that she had seen that Shuning had been going for a long time, and she was worried that there were trees and rockeries around here, and Shuning would not be able to find her way back, so she asked the palace maid to meet her at the corner in front of her. She wasn't afraid of the dark, so she didn't have any worries, but she heard footsteps behind her for a while, and when she was about to turn back to see who it was, a sudden force knocked her down the pool. She was startled, and in her hurry she only faintly caught a glimpse of a green shadow, but she didn't see it clearly, and she didn't even notice her clothes.

Things suddenly got complicated. If Wei Wan fell down accidentally, it naturally didn't matter, but since he was pushed down, it was difficult to say who the murderer was and why he pushed it. Although it is not known whether the perpetrator is a man or a woman, the green shadow is most likely a woman. However, most of the palace maids wore green in this summer, and many people such as harem concubines and show girls wore green, such as Wei Wan himself wore a green dress. Who's doing it?

The emperor was very angry about this matter and ordered the harem to investigate thoroughly. beat and scolded many people, and even the concubines who presided over the draft, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong, suffered a few words. The concubine felt deeply embarrassed, and the two victims were both her aunts and nieces, and they had an accident after they came out of her palace, and they were accompanied by the palace maids beside her, which was simply smearing her face. She sent Ruixi to send soup and medicine to Shuning and Wei Guan, but she was afraid that they would have no one to take care of them, so she specially asked the chief eunuch to transfer a palace maid to wait. At the same time, she specially received an errand for the investigation. Vowed to find out.

The palace maid who turned on the lamp had been scolded by the chief eunuch because of carelessness in waiting, but she was not beaten for the sake of helping to save people, but once she returned to Yanxi Palace. was forced to tell the details of the situation. The concubine also sent another person to interrogate the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty in various places in the imperial garden, and secretly investigated which show girl was not in Chuxiu Palace at that time, there were some decent concubines in the palace, and there were people around them who went out at that time.

The investigation of the harem concubines was inconclusive for a while. Although some of the eunuchs and palace maids came and went to the imperial garden, they all acted in unison, and they did not see any suspicious people. Among the show girls, around the evening of the same day. In addition to Shuning and Wei Guan, there are six people who have been out of Chuxiu Palace. Two of them were invited to visit Concubine Yi, and the two went to Concubine Rong's palace. One went to Yonghe Palace to see Concubine De. And one more. I don't want to say where I went.

When he learned about it, he summoned these six people one by one to ask them. learned that among them, Yuan Ning and Yueying went to Concubine Yi and came back early, and many people can prove it; went to Concubine Rong's place for Jingyu and Ziqi, who should have just come out of Changchun Palace at that time, but when they returned to Chuxiu Palace, it was in the opposite direction to the Imperial Garden; The key to visit Concubine De stayed in Yonghe Palace until he came back afterwards; In this way, only the show girl named Lin is left unclear.

Despite being repeatedly pressed by others, Lin just refused to reveal where he went, only saying that she didn't do it. The concubine thought that she must be the perpetrator of the murder and was going to be ruthless, but Ruixi heard a message from elsewhere, so she stopped, and only reported the result to the emperor and asked him to decide.

There was a lot of commotion outside, and Shu Ning and Wei Guan, two people who should have been good at recuperating from their illnesses and injuries, did not have a quiet life. It turned out that since the emperor became angry, some words came out one after another, saying that the emperor summoned the two of them with the intention of referring to the marriage place, among which Wei Guan Bacheng was to match the prince, and Shuning mostly referred to the clan, and even the names of the people were inquired.

All of a sudden, the number of people who came to visit them increased. Most of them are other show girls who live in Chuxiu Palace, and they feel that these two will not become opponents in the palace, and they are happy to show their benevolence and virtue. But there are also some people who are not aiming at the harem, just a few words of comfort on the face, but they don't know what to think behind the scenes.

For example, the cousin of Su Xu, named Yunyundi, for some reason, is called Visit, but she always likes to speak coldly to Shuning, and for a while laughs at her for her lack of reputation in the Beijing Lady ***, and for a while makes fun of her old-fashioned embroidery style of the upper purse, and for a while sarcastically she wears a homely robe made of cotton, which is too shabby, and Shuning's eyebrows keep stirring, and she smiles back without smiling: "Just lying on the bed to recuperate, and applying ointment, if you wear clothes with good materials, won't it be dirty and smoked?" That's why I had to wear these normal clothes. Where is it like my sister, the clothes on my body are so precious and beautiful, I look at it, but I think it is more gorgeous than the clothes I saw the ladies that day, my sister's vision is really good. ”

Yun Yun's face turned red all of a sudden, and it was not easy to have a seizure in front of everyone, he was ashamed and angry, so he only said two random words and left, and refused to come again. Later, Shuning happened to see her passing by through the window, and found that she was wearing much more plain clothes, so she laughed secretly.

She always felt that this Yun Yun seemed to be deliberately against herself, but for some reason, she asked Yuan Ning in private, but Yuan Ning couldn't say clearly: "Maybe it's because we supported Sister Su Su and lost her face, right?" That day

I went back with her, and Sister Susu admired her very much. "Shu Ning shook her head, but she didn't have a good face, but she stabbed me directly, I don't think that's the reason." Yuan Ning thought for a while and said, "I can't guess, whatever, she is just powerful on the face, but she is actually useless." Shuning thought it was the same, so she threw it away.

Because of the large number of people who came, they were noisy for the patients to rest, but they could not be driven away, and it was difficult for Ruifu, who was transferred to take care of the patients, to make tea more than a dozen times a day, and to do more work to entertain the guests, but to take care of the main owner. In the end, it was the imperial doctor who reported to the concubine and spoke, and those show girls came less. Only Yuan Ning and Su Su come two or three times a day, and Wan Ning also comes to visit every day. But almost every time, I will bring it with Changlu.

Shu Ning was bored when she was recuperating from her injury, and Wei Wan was a cold person, so she was glad that someone occasionally came to chat with her. But she was wary of Chang Lu and didn't show enthusiasm. It's just that Chang Lu doesn't seem to be aware of it, and he still looks pitiful when I see it, but what he says makes people think about it and think about it, and they are secretly frightened.

On the surface, Chang Lu seemed to just tell them about the investigation in the palace, and then talked a little about the reactions of the other show girls after the incident. Exclaimed: "Sister XX told me privately that the pool had drowned people, and someone had already proposed to fill it up, and the two sisters were really dangerous at the time", or "Some people said that XX seems to have said bad things about Sister Guan." It's just that I don't believe it, looking at her as if she is very kind, it doesn't look like it", or "xx knew that night that two sisters fell into the pool and were injured." His face was very pale, and he must have been frightened."

Shuning has always been just faintly, just listen to it. And not to the heart. Wei Wan was also noncommittal. Only the observer was shocked when he heard it, if it weren't for Wan Ning's presence, he was afraid that he would have immediately discussed it with Chang Lu. Wan Ning was very interested. Talking to Chang Lu about who is more suspicious. It's just that he is poured cold water by Yuan Ning every time. said: "In the harem, there are women in charge." Let's be a little show girl, what do you care about so much? If the second sister has time, it is better to recite the scriptures for the Queen Mother a few times. Wan Ning glared at her angrily, and soon pulled Chang Lu to leave. It's just that Chang Lu is a little reluctant, and the haze on his face flashes.

Shuning looked at Yuan Ning, feeling that she had become more and more calm these days, and she was more like an adult than herself, and sighed in her heart. Yuan Ning just smiled and said to her and Wei Guan: "Now there are rumors in the palace, the water is getting deeper and deeper, no one can tell who pushed Sister Guan." According to me, you just have to take care of your birth and raise, and you just have to listen to how the case is closed. ”

Shu Ning actually had this idea, the harem was not a place shrouded in the blue sky, and it didn't matter to her how the True Saint 5200 Phase was, but she didn't know what Wei Wan thought, after all, she was the real victim.

Wei Wan was still faint, but in the end he still nodded.

After three days, the ugly person has not been found in this public case, and there are already gossips ridiculing the concubine for her incompetence. The concubine remained silent, even if the concubines from other places protested to her, and the guests she invited were suspected of their actions, and they did not open their mouths to defend themselves. Everyone thought she was going to be embarrassed, but she didn't expect the emperor to give her a lot of property, and even stayed in Yanxi Palace for a few days, which made people scratch their heads.

At this time, Shuning and Wei Wan suddenly ushered in Aunt Ruixi, and conveyed the will of the concubine: the two of them moved out of the palace first, and it is always much more convenient to recuperate at home. At the same time, Ruixi also gave the two of them the things that the concubine specially gave to them. Shu Ning saw the beads, jade pendants and beautifully embroidered fans, and then looked at the Songhua inkstone and the new imperial book in Wei Guan's hand, and was suspicious.

Still, she was happy to be able to go home. I was finally able to leave this palace. She asked Ruifu to help pack up the baggage, and specially gave Ruifu a few purses with the remaining land, along with seventy or eighty taels of silver tickets, to thank the other party for taking care of them for many days. was injured twice, thanks to her help, washing, changing clothes, combing hair, eating, and being careful. Although she knew that this palace maid would definitely not be as honest as she appeared, and there might be someone behind her, she should be able to trust Tongyingdi to send her letters, so she was also extraordinarily generous.

Ruifu took the thing, just smiled slightly, and accepted it.

When Shuning said goodbye to her sisters, she was verbose again, telling Wanning to be cautious in her words and deeds, as for whether the other party listened or not, she didn't care. In addition, he also told Yuan Ning and Su Su to be careful, and then quietly explain the former, and be careful to show often.

On the same day, Shuning boarded the car with the help of several palace maids, and took the pair of crutches away by the way.

Shu Ning and Wei Wan went home, because they were ordered to do so, and they were escorted by two guards each. The person who sent Shuning, one is called Bai Tu, and the other is Chongli. She was in the car all the way, and she didn't say a word to the guards outside, if she hadn't heard Chongli speak when she went out of the palace, she wouldn't have known that there were her own in-laws outside the car.

Back at the Earl's Court, there is a feeling of being out of the world. As soon as she saw her mother, she felt sour, as if she had countless words to say to her. His eyes were red, and he lost his temper in front of everyone because he was not good. He endured it and said lightly: "It's good to be back, go back to the room quickly." Then he ordered a strong daughter-in-law to carry Shuning on her back and go straight into the Huai Courtyard. She herself arranged to greet Chongli and Bai Tudi, and specially asked her daughter-in-law Zhenzhen to meet her brother. Because he saw that Chongli's every move was extremely regular

Nothing else, my mind was settled.

It wasn't until the people dispersed that she went back to the house to see her daughter and saw the white cloth on Shuning's feet. Then he shed tears: "My son, where have you suffered like this since you were a child? Except for that year in Guangzhou, how could he have ever broken a little oily skin on his body? Why did you get hurt like this after only a few days? ”

Shuning smiled and comforted her, "It's okay." It's just that the ointment is applied, and it's wrapped in a cloth, but it doesn't hurt. It's just that it's not very convenient to move. Besides, if it weren't for this injury, I wouldn't have been able to go home early. It can be seen that it is a blessing in disguise. ”

Shi said angrily: "What kind of blessing is this? I'd rather you stay in there a few more days than you suffer this!" But she felt sorry for her daughter, and asked carefully about the situation in the palace and the reaction of the concubine. sighed and said, "That's it, they should die now, right?" Then he glanced at his daughter: "You girl." Now it's a dream come true, right? ”

Shuning smirked a few times. Slightly blushed. In fact, I was very happy in my heart. Seeing this, Shi sighed lightly. smiled and said, "There is a person in the house now, you must be shocked when you see it." Shuning was puzzled, and suddenly heard a "sister" at the door, so a small figure rushed over.

It's actually Xianning!!

It turned out that this year's draft was postponed, and the clan has been stranded in Beijing. Zhang Bao's side, because of the long rain in Zhili, he had to go to various places with the political envoy to inspect the place, and he was afraid that his son would have no one to take care of him in the back office, so he simply sent him back to Beijing, and brought it back when his wife returned to Bao. Now Xianning lives in the Earl's Palace, and usually reads and writes with Mr. Chunning, the sixth brother.

Shu Ning saw her younger brother who had been absent for more than half a year, she was surprised and delighted, kissed him a few times, and hugged him for a long time. Xianning was also happy in her heart, and her hands kept hanging on her sister's neck and coquettish, until her mother frowned and said that her sister's injury was not healed, so she let go, but she still nested beside her and talked. Shuning's heart was soft, and she kept laughing.

When Zhenzhen entered the door and saw it, she smiled and said, "Brother Xian, you are about to take up most of your sister's bed, aren't you too hot to panic?" The second sister-in-law specially made snacks to eat in the small kitchen, you go and get some for your sister to eat. Xianning cheered, and went, and after a while, he took a large plate of dim sum, ignoring the second sister-in-law chasing after him and shouting: "That's for the girl, don't eat it all!" ”

Shuning smiled and ate a few snacks, and the rest of the plate was stuffed to Xianning, who was so happy that he smiled. She asked Zhenzhen, "Why don't you see my brother?" Are you still in the yamen? Zhenzhen nodded and said, "As soon as we get the letter from you, we will send someone to tell your brother, and we will definitely be back soon." ”

Before Duan Ning returned, the Nala clan, the Suo Xue Luo clan and the Tatara clan arrived first. They all came to inquire about their daughter's draft, and by the way, they visited Shuningdi. Shu Ning didn't feel anything, the joy of going home made her feel that when she saw these three elders, she felt that their faces were much more amiable than before.

Yuanning and Susu are performing well, the former is more stable than in the past, I heard that several mothers appreciate her very much; And the latter, although he was under some pressure from the clan sister before, his life was not very difficult. Suo Xue Luo was so happy that he walked away triumphantly. He Tara secretly bitten: "That dead girl, I will definitely ask her mother to give me an explanation!" Then he thanked him and left.

As for Nala's, Shuning said to her: "The second sister has been with us before the re-election, which is nothing. Although he turned his feet later, because of the wisdom of the doctor, he quickly got better, and now he is fine. It's just that after the re-election, I have to recuperate from my injuries and rarely go out, but I only know that the second sister and the eldest aunt and a distant relative of your mother's family, named Chang Ludi, are particularly close, and have less contact with me and the fourth sister. I don't know the details of her situation now. ”

She didn't tell the Nala clan about Wanning's careless words, the other party had no help in the harem, even if she told her, she couldn't do anything, she could only worry in vain, thinking that Wanning's Wufu Jin's status was quite stable, and there was no need to let this eldest aunt worry about it here.

But when Nala listened to her, the worry in his heart did not diminish at all, but he also heard some meaning, and hurriedly left first, and when he turned around, he asked people to go to his mother's house to inquire about the behavior of the niece who often showed her character.

Shuning's life at home is very lively, although she can't get out of bed and go out, but she has family members to accompany her every day, or talk and chat, or do needlework, or teach her younger brother homework, or read books and play chess, although she was defeated by Zhenzhen last time in chess, but she was not depressed at all.

Duan Ning felt very sorry for his sister for a few days, and after secretly giving the "culprit" Tongying a few fists outside, he thoughtfully acted as a messenger and helped Tongying send a so-called "family heirloom secret medicine" to his sister, but in his mouth he was derogatorily called "I don't know where it came from". Shuning snatched it with a red face, and when she saw her brother's smiling gaze, she laughed back: "Sister-in-law is waiting for you in the room, brother, don't patronize and make fun of others, and snub your wife." ”

After more than ten days of such a happy life, one day, Shuning suddenly heard a commotion outside, but it was soon gone, I don't know what happened, I hurriedly called Su Xin to inquire.

After more than half an hour, Su Xin came back, her eyes widened and she said, "Auntie...... Girl, Fang is the ...... It was the second master who came to deliver the message, saying that it was ...... The four girls in our family were accused of being the fifth elder brother as a concubine. ”

Hey? Yuan Ning? Fifth Brother?!
