Cicada Yi heard that when the Prince's Mansion was built, the craftsmen instructed the emperor to bury a solid iron pipe in the ground, so that they could listen to the voices in every room of the entire Prince's Mansion in a secret hut, which was called "Earth Listening". In this way, the emperor wanted to test whether the prince was loyal and whether he was sorry for him behind his back. In the end, it turned out that the crown prince did not act deviantly.

However, when the crown prince learned that there was a "ground hearing" hidden in his mansion, he felt that the emperor did not trust him, probably a precursor to the intention to abolish the prince. The prince was afraid day and night, and he had an illness, and he died of an illness. The old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang lost his son in his later years, and the eldest son he had carefully cultivated for decades died.

Cicada Yi also heard that Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of the emperor who continues to live in the prince's mansion, is actually still secretly using "ground listening", secretly listening to the words and deeds of his courtiers, beauties, and subordinates.

He Angelica asked her what happened to her after leaving Luofu, she was afraid of being overheard by others, so she spoke very briefly-

At that time, she and Mint walked to the street with a small bag, looked around with curious eyes, and saw a beggar mother-in-law so pitiful, so they bought buns for her mother-in-law to eat, but they were smoked by the other party with a puff of smoke, only to know that they had fallen into the trap of human traffickers.

Then, the cicada clothes were bought, and they were sold to General Chang's Mansion in the capital, where they encountered common sayings and recognized them as rumors from the past. Later, she was sold to the Prince's Mansion, because the guards were very strict and she couldn't get out, so she has been working until now.

The four-month experience was finished in three long and short sentences, and she didn't mention the most important and thrilling part at all. For example, the part of the Chai Yu diagram, and for example, the part of Zhu Yunwen.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. He Angelica opened the door latch, and saw Chai Yutu in a cloth dress and a thorn skirt standing outside, with no fat powder on his face, his eyes were red from crying, and there were dry tear stains in the corners of his eyes, looking very pitiful. Her lips opened slightly, and she said, "Good sister, I know it's wrong", and knelt down for He Angelica.

"Why did Cousin Chai make this big gift?" He Angelica was surprised, "Little sister can't stand it." Autumn cicada, don't hurry up and pick up the chai beauty! ”

Hearing this, Cicada Yi reluctantly moved her steps and slowly approached the door, wrinkling her small nose, as if there was a puddle of cow over there. Chai Yutu didn't mean to get up, stubbornly bowed in the direction of He Angelica, touched the ground with a smooth forehead, and then again.

She kowtowed and described her life experience: "My sister has pity on me!" My father and mother went early, my uncle and aunt's family did not allow me, and I didn't vote well when I went to Yangzhou to join my relatives. ”

He Angelica made a gesture to let the cicada retreat, stared at the chai rain picture that kowtowed like pounding garlic, hooked his lips and said: "My cousin is a smart person, she won't do stupid things, there must be a reason for kowtowing to me like this." Normally, only the Buddha and Bodhisattva statues in the temple can be worshipped calmly because they can give people hope. The little sister asked herself if she didn't have that kind of ability, I don't know why she was treated with such courtesy? ”

"You have," Chai Yutu said, "you are the hope of His Highness the eldest grandson!" ”

He Angelica asked quietly: "What do you mean by this?" I'm stupid and can't understand dumb riddles. ”

Chai Yutu wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and his eyes flashed with sincerity, and said: "The concubine is a woman, and she doesn't recognize a few big characters, let alone understand the pattern of the court and the general trend of the world. In fact, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson asked me to send a message to my sister, please be sure to enter the palace to cure the emperor's illness, and by the way, listen to what his old man has to say, so that it can be conveyed to His Royal Highness. ”

"That's it?" He Angelica frowned and asked.

"That's right," Chai Yutu held a warm jade pendant in both hands, "This is the dragon pendant that His Royal Highness has worn since childhood, it is extremely precious, my sister got this, which side will she stand on in the future, she should know in her heart, right?" ”

He Angelica picked up the jade pendant and admired it, and said with a smile: "Of course, my position in this regard has always been very clear, but it ......"

Chai Yutu asked urgently: "But what?" ”

"However, in view of the painting and the two slaps of the emperor's eldest grandson," He Angelica continued, "Cousin, which side you choose to stand on, makes the younger sister very curious. ”

Chai Yutu nervously glanced at the iron pipe in the corner, wondering if anyone was hiding in the shadows, listening to their conversation. Recalling how much attention Zhu Yunwen attaches to this matter, it is even very likely that the person who is listening now is Zhu Yunwen himself! Chai Yutu was in a hurry, and kowtowed to He Angelica, crying: "I don't know where I offended my sister, so I caused a disaster, in short, please forgive me, and please help His Royal Highness the eldest grandson!" ”

He Angelica followed her line of sight, and also noticed the black iron pipe on the ground, and the expression on his face was still innocent, obviously not knowing what it was for.

Maybe it's because she has lived longer than others, and her heart also says that if she becomes soft, she will become soft, and suddenly she took pity on the pear blossom and brought the rain to Chai Meiren and forgave her for her rudeness. He Danggui walked over, personally picked up Chai Yutu, pursed his lips and smiled: "Why do the family talk to two families?" Of course, there is something wrong with my sister, but when I think about it, I blame me for being angry and putting such a painting on the head of Zhang Meiren's bed. His Royal Highness the eldest grandson saw it, and it caused a misunderstanding. ”

Chai Yutu was overjoyed, but he didn't expect He Angelica to admit that she was the ghost of the painting when he had ears on the wall! Happy, Chai Yutu was still mournful, and asked sadly: "However, I have never seen His Royal Highness King Yan, how could he take me into the painting?" ”

Chai Yutu deliberately used a guided question, no matter whether He Angelica gave an answer or not, as long as she did not deliberately refute, it was equivalent to admitting that Chai Yutu "had never seen King Yan", and Chai Yutu was innocent. If Zhu Yunwen is really eavesdropping, it is a godsend, a good opportunity to regain favor!

Unexpectedly, He Angelica behaved better than expected, and she explained from beginning to end: "Actually, this is the case, our sisters quarreled that night, and then I met a friend who happened to pass by the East Palace, so I asked him to go to the Yan Palace's mansion to ask for a painting." The person in the painting is not you, but a dancing girl who looks like you, I have seen her in Yanwangfu before, and I secretly remember it in my heart. I didn't expect to cause His Highness such a big misunderstanding of you, I'm really sorry, I'll explain it to Your Highness another day. ”

After listening to He Angelica's confession, Chai Yutu excitedly grabbed her hand and shook it, lifting the silk skirt and running out.

He Angelica chased after her back and asked in a loud voice: "Then when will I enter the palace?" ”

"Don't worry, when Your Highness has arranged everything, someone will be sent to pick you up!" Chai Yutu ran out of the yard without looking back, bent on finding out Zhu Yunwen and shaking the bottom of He Angelica's framing of himself clearly. She didn't run a few steps, but her nose bumped into a figure in the shade of a dark tree, and when she looked at it, who was it not Zhu Yunwen?

Chai Yutu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said incoherently: "It's her, it's all her, Your Highness must have heard it!" How have you ever seen King Yan, the concubine has been wronged, I beg His Royal Highness to be my master-have you listened to it just now? ”

Zhu Yunwen's face was hidden in a shadow, Chai Yutu couldn't see his expression clearly, and felt as if he was laughing. He patted her gently on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone: "Good girl, you have been wronged, and this palace will definitely compensate you in the future." You're doing a good job, you're really doing a good job, it's really my good rain map. ”

Chai Yutu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the man's chest in satisfaction, and curled his lips and smiled.

As soon as the picture turned, the cicada clothes in the room couldn't laugh at all, and she cried and reflected on herself with a sad face, is her story of "long story short" too short, and she didn't remind He Angelica, Chai Yutu is such a two-faced, three-edged, honey-bellied, sword-hearted, ruthless and murderous woman without blinking!

Cicada Yi glanced at the iron pipe in the corner of the wall and shook her little head, it's late! It's too late to say anything now, and the smart lady is blinded by Chai Yutu's rhetoric and tears, and says something that shouldn't be said!

"I'm full!" He Angelica stood up, stretched happily, and said, "Let's go, let's go out for a few steps, and take a look at Zhang Meiren's fetus by the way." ”

Walking out of the yard, Cicada Yi looked around to observe, and couldn't wait to educate He Angelica: "Miss, there is a popular saying among the people, when people only say three points, they can't throw away all their hearts, which is a very reasonable sentence." ”

"Oh." He Angelica nodded.

"There are two kinds of people in the world, one is a good person, the other is a bad person, and the other is a bad person who pretends to be a good person, and the other is a bad person who pretends to change his past mistakes but is still very bad inside. To distinguish between these people, you have to keep your eyes open! ”

"Oh," He Angelica corrected, holding up four fingers, "you said a total of four kinds of people. ”

Cicada Yi was not satisfied with her careless attitude, scratched her ears, and shouted: "Miss, you have been deceived!" Chai Yutu is definitely not really good to you, she is more insidious than anyone else, and her tears are fake! ”

"Oh, that's for the best. If she wants to be really good to me, I'm afraid. He Angelica patted his chest.

"Miss, I mean seriously! You may have been calculated by the firewood rain map! Cicada Yi was so anxious that she stomped her feet as she spoke, "Didn't there be a black pipe in the house just now?" In fact, every room in the East Palace has that kind of pipe, and they have a special eavesdropping room, and they can listen to whichever one they want. Didn't you see how happy she was after Chai Yutu led you to tell the truth? That's because the words you said may have reached the ears of the emperor's eldest grandson! ”

"Shhhh

He Angelica motioned for her to silence, and Cicada Yi found that she had unconsciously walked outside Zhang Meiren's courtyard, and through a courtyard wall, she could vaguely hear the laughter and laughter of the people inside.

Before entering the courtyard, He Angelica quietly winked at the cicada clothes and asked with a smile: "Are you talking about 'listening'?" I used that thing 800 years ago. ”

After entering the courtyard, the two of them saw an unexpected visitor, and even He Angelica was stunned.
