He Angelica glanced sideways, someone was trying to hang Chai Yutu, and the pear blossoms looked very miserable with rain.

Zhu Yunwen made a gesture, the executioner loosened the knot a little, Chai Yutu took a breath, grabbed this line of vitality and said: "Her name is He Zaimei, she is the eldest daughter of the He family, and she is your aunt." ”

He Angelica was stunned, and then smiled slightly: "It turns out that one is the eldest sister of Captain He, no wonder it looks familiar." It's not like an elderly person at all, and it's not inferior to standing with the sister flower of the Luo family. Are the women in the palace so good at maintenance? ”

"The women in the palace are aging slowly," Zhu Yunwen said, "He Jieyu's origin, you can know by asking a palace maid casually." How can such worthless news be exchanged for a life, it is not cost-effective. ”

As soon as the words fell, the executioner began to move again. Chai Yutu shook slightly, as if stepping into ice water, and shouted in a panic: "I didn't harm Zhang Meiren's fetus, really, believe me, I just watched from the side, the person who shot was not me!" If I really planned this, how could I happen to be there and make myself suspicious? ”

He Angelica nodded objectively: "What she said makes sense." ”

Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, and did not mean to stop the executioner, and the thick hemp rope left a crimson mark on the white skin. Zhu Yunwen said coldly: "A woman who thinks about my courtiers in her heart is no longer qualified to be a Chai beauty." ”

He Angelica sneered and said, "Your Highness is jealous?" When she said this, she hung a silk thread above the fish pond and played with the fish, looking mischievous. Chai Yutu on the other side was almost suffocated, with a pair of watery eyes wide open, and he couldn't believe that one day his life would be tied to He Angelica, and he decided by her words.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the other side, lightly opened his thin lips and said, "She is not worthy." ”

"But the matter of Zhang Meiren and Mama Qiu, she may be really innocent, don't you want to find out the real black hand and clear the East Palace?" He Angelica sneered and watched the development of the situation. I felt a heartfelt emotion in my heart, the men of the Zhu family will always be so ruthless, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, it has lasted for three generations!

Zhu Yunwen twisted his eyebrows and said: "She's lying, this woman has lied to me for a long time, don't fall for her." ”

"No, it's true!" Chai Yutu shouted, "I didn't kill Mama Qiu, nor did I push Zhang Meiren, she saw Mama Qiu's body and was scared to have a miscarriage!" Those who transported the bodies can testify! ”

"Where are those people?" He Angelica asked.

Zhu Yunwen said: "Executed." ”

He Angelica turned his head and asked Chai Yutu again: "The fog is very strong in the morning, you don't stay in your own yard, what are you doing running out?" ”

Chai Yutu said with tears in his eyes: "The concubine's maid rose is gone, and she has been missing since last night, so I came out to look for each other, His Royal Highness and the county lord Mingjian, the concubine is wronged." ”

"Rose?" He Angelica read the name.

"Her accomplice, the evil slave." Zhu Yunwen noted.

He Angelica thought for a while and said: "It's better to temporarily detain Chai Meiren, and then deal with it after the matter is clear, once the matter is hastily settled, she feels wronged, if the murderer is really someone else, it will also leave a hidden danger to the East Palace." I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "Whatever you want, don't delay the business." ”

So, the rope nosplay around Chai Yutu was removed and her hands were tied behind her back. Chai Yutu, who was paralyzed, regained his breath and looked up at He Angelica, who saved her life, but until now, he still didn't have a good impression of this woman, he just felt that she was an extremely terrible opponent.

Crash! As soon as the sound of water sounded, the silk line in He Angelica's hand caught a golden three-inch carp and struggled into an arc. He Angelica put the fish back into the pond and turned to leave.

"Hey," Chai Yutu stopped He Angelica, hesitated and told her, "He Jieyu is not an ordinary woman, she seems to know everything, and she came to ask me yesterday if she wants to redeem the batch of East Palace in the pawnshop." Just do her a small favor and you can do it. A woman in the deep palace knows everything about the outside world, doesn't she have any plans? ”

"What's the little favor?"

Chai Yutu shook his head: "I didn't promise her, and she didn't tell me." However, I saw her talking secretly with Qi Mu'er in the flowers, and it didn't look like she was doing a good deed. ”

He Angelica smiled: "I was very surprised to hear Cousin Chai say this. Thank you for your message, please stay in the dungeon for a while. ”

Because there had been a heavy fog in the morning, which had made the ground wet, He Angelica walked along the edge of the woods and fell into deep thought. There are a lot of bamboo shoots under your feet, and you go around one every two steps, and at this time, the unthinkable happens, a bamboo shoot covered with dew drops suddenly grows taller!

In front of He Angelica's eyes, it got higher and higher, and when it was about two feet high, the human head connected below came out, and the mud covered the face, which startled He Angelica. When I looked closely, it was an acquaintance.

In this way, people kept coming out of the dirt, one after another, and finally three big living people came out. Glittering, glittering, and mint.

"Are you coming to me?" He Angelica frowned and said, "It's too chaotic, you can come directly to the door and knock." ”

Yi Yi came back from the northwest, restored his Mongol attire, his beard was half unshaven, and at first sight He Angelica exclaimed excitedly: "Miss, Miss! It's only been two months since I saw you, why have you lost so much weight? I heard about the murder of Mrs. Nie, don't be too sad, she knows about it, and she doesn't want you to be like this. Come home with us, shall you? ”

Yitong also persuaded: "Gongzi heard that you entered the East Palace, and he has always wanted to come and pick you up, but something delayed." Come with us, my Tu Dun can take more than four people. ”

Mint crossed his waist with one hand and said unexpectedly: "Don't go back to Meng's house, Miss!" You don't know, after you left, my uncle has completely changed as a person, and he has taken in a new Aunt Zi and let her live in your yard! Uncle he spends all day drinking, every time the slave sees him, he looks drunk, and he doesn't care about you when she knows that something has happened to you, miss. You can't forgive him easily! ”

"Absolutely not!" Yitong hurriedly waved her hand, "This girl is talking nonsense!" He glared at Mint hatefully, "I didn't expect you to clamoring to come with me in order to tell the truth." also said that there was a way to persuade Grandma Seven to go back, but it was all a lie! ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Mint said unconvinced.

Regarding their dispute, Yi Yi chose neutrality, and only persuaded him earnestly: "No matter what misunderstanding you have with your son, Miss, it is better to solve it in person than to drag it out, come with us first." Miss blames us for risking in to find you, but do you know that the emperor's eldest grandson has long cut off all contact with the outside world and you, which is tantamount to house arrest you in disguise. We also wanted to come to you through the main gatehouse, but we were all shut out. The eldest grandson of the emperor has bad intentions towards you, miss! ”

"Okay." He Angelica bowed his head and said, "I can go with you, but I have to take leave with Zhu Yunwen first, so as not to mess up his ways." ”

Yitong asked in surprise: "I know that he is under house arrest for you, and you still go to ask him for leave?" I'm afraid that he won't let go, this is his territory, there are East Palace guards on all sides, we can't break in, we can only go quietly. ”

"It's okay, I have a point, you wait where you are, try not to let people see you."

He Angelica came to Zhu Yunwen's study, and the next person said that he was here, but no one answered when he knocked on the door, pushed the door in, and there was no one inside. She took the pen and ink and left a letter of simple explanation, saying that she would go out of the palace to arrange the residence of his "two-year-old son" for him, and ask him not to attack the Peng brothers for the time being.

Pressing a thin piece of paper under the Qingyu paperweight, she covered the door of the study and came out, avoiding people to take the path, zigzag and didn't know how far to go. Through a high wall of flowers and vines, she saw that at the stone table of the flower stand at the other end, Luo Baiqiong and the three of them were sitting and drinking a pot of incense, probably because the carriage was not yet ready. All three of them were silent, each struggling with their own calculations.

"Concubine Luo, your makeup is spent." He Jieyu suddenly said, "There is still a piece of ash on the bridge of the nose." ”

Luo Baiqiong hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and so coincidentally, a gust of wind blew, and the handkerchief between her fingers was blown away. Luo Baiqiong exclaimed: "Quick! Pick up the veil for me! ”

He Jieyu and Qi Mu'er didn't move, obviously not listening to her command. Luo Baiqiong said angrily: "I am Concubine Luo, do you want to commit the following crimes?" ”

Qi Mu'er looked a little uneasy, but she insisted on not leaving her seat and carrying out Luo Baiqiong's order.

"We don't dare to disrespect the mother, but we are not your subordinates, and the work of picking up handkerchiefs should be done by subordinates. It's only because you just got rid of all the grandmothers, so you can't call people this time. He Jieyu patiently reasoned with her, "The concubine suggested that you pick up your handkerchief by yourself, because it is embroidered with your maiden name and falls into the hands of others, and it will inevitably have more rights and wrongs." ”

While these women were arguing, the veil had already flown away. Luo Baiqiong glared at He Jieyu viciously, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, very good, I remember you." However, she had no choice but to look for the silk handkerchief herself.

As soon as Luo Baiqiong left, He Jieyu immediately shouted: "What a coincidence! The county lord is also interested in appreciating kapok? Why don't you come and sit down? ”

He Angelica understood this time that the other party had already seen him, and he did not hesitate to offend Luo Baiqiong and deliberately split Luo Baiqiong. He Jieyu is really an interesting woman.

He Angelica smiled, walked out from behind the flower wall with a generous face, and greeted: "The courage of the two is really unusual, my second sister has a bit of a grudge, and no matter how small the grudge is, she will take revenge - the taste of kapok is very fragrant, and it is rare to see cyan kapok elsewhere, and the gardener skills of the East Palace are really good." ”

"yes, good flowers." He Jieyu said with a smile, "I have never seen such delicate flowers and trees in the palace, but I have a problem with choosing a seat, and I miss my bed after only one day of leaving the palace, so I have to go back." Will the county lord be homesick too? ”

"Homesick?" He Angelica repeated. Which home?

He Jieyu seemed to mean something, and seemed to be talking to herself, and said fascinatedly: "I have been in the palace for ten years, and I haven't seen my mother and younger brother at home for ten years, and I often dream of them. This time I went out of the palace to enter the incense, it was the first time I stepped out of the palace gate in ten years, but unfortunately I couldn't go home to see. Therefore, there is an old saying that advises the monarch to cherish the people in front of him. Don't wait for the person in front of you to leave and then regret and grieve, it will be too late. ”

"Oops!"

In the distance, Luo Baiqiong's cry of pain came from the rockery, accompanied by a series of wonderful curses, shouting the names of He Jieyu and Qi Mu'er. It is to the effect that she sprained her foot, and when she returned to the palace, she would go to the emperor to complain to Yunyun.

He Jieyu glanced at He Angelica again, and went with Qi Mu'er to find Luo Baiqiong.

He Angelica looked at their backs and turned to leave. Before she reached the grove, a female voice stopped her from behind: "Stand for a while, I have something to say!" It was Qi Muer's voice, and it didn't have a plain and soft coquettish voice.

He Angelica turned around and took a look at Qi Mu'er, who didn't cover her face with a veil, and couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly. I haven't seen her for half a year, Qi Mu'er's appearance is even better, far above Luo Baiqiong. I hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that I looked at this delicate woman in pink up close, He Angelica understood why Qi Mu'er always covered her face.

Her appearance is very similar to the deceased Queen Ma, and she is several times younger and more beautiful, which can be called a copy of the Pony Queen!

Empress Ma and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang fought for half a life to enjoy a little blessing, died very early, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang is the only woman he respects, and she can not forget it for many years after her death. Qi Mu'er actually has a similar face to the legendary woman, which can be described as unique, if she goes to Zhu Yuanzhang with this face to take a turn, it is estimated that the person who is the concubine will not be able to take Luo Baiqiong's turn.

However, Qi Mu'er did the opposite, claiming that her nose had sinuses, she couldn't smell a trace of the aroma of fat powder, and she covered her face from the beginning of entering the palace, what was her purpose? Could it be that being a Concubine Qi and Concubine Qi can't satisfy her appetite?

These considerations flashed in He Angelica's mind, and he smiled quietly: "Cousin Qi's complexion is not very good, listen to my advice, you should bask in the sun more." ”

Qi Mu'er shook her head, said with a serious face, "No, I can't show my face, and I can't stay in the palace anymore." In order to catch up with He Angelica, who was one step ahead, she trotted over with broken steps, and she was still panting unevenly when she spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" He Angelica asked.

"I'm fed up with the days of fear and fear, and I don't want to be used by He Jieyu or Luo Baiqiong to sell that worthless life." At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the opposite side, and Qi Mu'er hurriedly said, "I know you don't like me, I used to have a holiday with you, but I am more obedient than Luo Baiqiong, if you want to find a helper in the palace, I am more suitable than Luo Baiqiong." ”

He Angelica hooked his lips and said, "It seems that you overheard my conversation with Luo Baiqiong." ”

Qi Mu'er said: "I just want to protect myself, because everyone wants to use me, they all have a big backstage to support, but I only have myself." ”

He Angelica thought for a while and asked sharply: "But, since you don't want to be used by He Jieyu and Luo Baiqiong, why did you take the initiative to ask me to use you?" How do I know you weren't sent by them? ”

"Because I don't want to be buried, I don't want to be buried alive for the old emperor. I want to leave the palace and leave the palace forever! ”
