Sixty-four, sisterhood

After speaking, she continued to write the Diamond Sutra, immersed herself in her own world, and ordered the little palace maid to send Wan Zhen'er away.

Who knew that after the little palace maid went out for a while, she came back again and said: "Qi Niangniang, Wan Guiren said that if Niangniang refuses to accept her apology, she will not leave." ”

Su Mei raised her eyebrows and said, "Niangniang, let me go out and send ten thousand nobles." ”

"You must not collide with ten thousand nobles after you go out, you know?" Empress Wu instructed Su Mei Dao.

Su Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Su Mei has a number." ”

With that, she walked out alone.

After she went out, she saw that Wan Guiren was still standing outside in the cold west wind, so she smiled and said, "Slave and maid see Wan Guiren." ”

Wan Guiren knew that Su Mei was Queen Wu's confidant, so he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Su Mei, how is Miss Su Mei lately?" ”

The corners of Su Mei's lips lifted slightly, glanced at Wan Guiren, and said, "The slave and maid have been good recently, but my master has not been very good recently. ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard this, she knew that she was coming at her every word, so she gasped, deliberately pretended to be surprised, and asked, "Why is the queen mother bad?" Did something happen to the queen mother? I'm going to see the Queen Mother today, no matter what. ”

Su Mei shook her head, looked at Wan Zhen'er with some contempt and smiled, and said, "The noble lady is not in good health, and she can't stand in this cold wind for too long, so please go back." Our queen mother will not see you, the queen mother was ordered to retreat in Kunning Palace, if Wan Guiren disturbs, it is not good to spread it. If Wan Guiren insists on seeing the queen mother, then it would be fine, why don't Su Mei invite the eldest princess and the queen mother over here? ”

Wan Zhen'er was shocked in her heart, she groaned slightly, and she had changed her smile to a faint smile.

She said with a pleasant face: "Since Miss Sumei said so, then I won't bother, please ask the queen to meditate." ”

After speaking, she took Mama Chen back to her palace.

After going back, Wan Guiren's eyes were cracked, she kept slapping the table, and said angrily: "I didn't expect this girl Sumei to be so sharp-toothed, and if you don't get rid of this little demon, it will always be an obstacle for us." ”

"What's so difficult about this, isn't it easy for the noble lady to get rid of a little Sumei?"

"Oh? I don't know what your opinion is Mama Chen? ”

Mama Chen smiled sinitiously and said: "This Su Mei and Xiang Mei are biological sisters, Xiang Mei is now serving you, if Xiang Mei suffers in our palace, do you think Su Mei will give in?" ”

Hearing Mama Chen's words in Wan Zhen'er's ears, she only felt a burst of relief, she laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's Gao Ce, Gao Ce." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, this palace has been abusing Xiangmei since today, all of this is Su Mei's own fault, and I can't complain about this palace. Mama Chen, you will order Xiangmei to take the clothes of the palace outside the palace to be washed now, if she can't finish washing, she won't have to eat today. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the wardrobe in the corner.

Mama Chen smiled and said, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he did as Wan Zhen'er instructed.

Mama Chen's strategy is really very poisonous, in such a cold day, Xiangmei is outside to wash clothes and sheets.

After washing for less than an hour, my hands and feet were already cold.

When all the clothes were washed, she only felt tired and hungry, without any strength, and had frostbite on her hands and feet, and her hands were swollen bigger than steamed buns, which looked very terrible.

She didn't know why she suddenly flew into trouble, and she was so saddened that she was being abused like this.

In this way, for several days, Xiangmei has been abused by Wan Guiren, and she washes her face with tears every day, and lives like a year.

On this day, Su Mei came to visit her sister, and suddenly found that Xiangmei was much more haggard than before, and seeing that her clothes were worn and old, she became thin and weak, as if she could not eat enough and wear warmth.

Her face was very sallow, her hands were swollen as big as steamed buns, and she looked terrifying, so she asked distressedly, "Sister, what happened?" Why are you the way you are? ”

Xiangmei took out the scroll, wiped her tears and cried: "I don't know what's wrong, since that day, Wan Guiren went to Kunning Palace to ask the queen to meet her, the queen didn't see her, and she kept abusing me since she came back." First of all, I was asked to go outside the palace to wash clothes on a cold winter day, and I was washed until midnight without food or drink, and I was frozen half to death. Then, he made me do a lot of work that I didn't usually do, and he beat me and scolded me at every turn. ”

She said as she rolled up her sleeves and gave it to Su Mei.

"Sister, you see that the scars on my arm were all beaten by Wan Guiren and Mama Chen."

Su Mei looked at Xiangmei's arm, and saw the bloodstains that were shocking, and they looked very terrifying.

She pulled the placket of Xiangmei's clothes, and found that there were many such scars on her body, she had been beaten all over her body, and it was no wonder that she was so weak.

Su Mei is a girl with a very strong temperament, and when she saw her sister suffering like this, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she pulled Xiangmei and said, "Go." ”

Xiangmei glanced at Wan Guiren's bedroom with some horror and said, "Sister, where are you taking me?" If the nobles knew about it, they would have been killed. ”

Su Mei said with hatred: "It's all my sister's fault, it's my sister who has affected you." That day, Wan Guiren went to Kunning Palace to see the queen's mother, I gave her anger, and she came back to bully you. Although we are just a little palace maid, we are not the master who beats and scolds when he wants, how can there be such a reason in the world? I'll take you to find a place to reason. ”

"No, sister, I'm not going. If Wan Guiren knew about it, she would definitely beat me even more in the future. Xiang Mei said as she slumped around.

Obviously, she was afraid of being abused by Wan Guiren and Mama Chen.

Su Mei glanced at her firmly and said, "What are you afraid of?" What is Wan Guiren? There is still a queen on the head of Wan Guiren, and there is also the eldest princess and the queen mother of the two palaces on the head of the queen, is there no one to call the shots for us? Let's go, I'll take you to see Empress Dowager Qian now. ”

"Can Empress Dowager Qian see us?"

Xiangmei glanced at her sister with some surprise, and she whispered: "Sister, you should not have seen what I have suffered, I can still survive." If Queen Qian and the eldest princess refuse to see us, and this matter is known to all the nobles, I will not have a good life in the future. ”

She burst into tears as she spoke.

When Su Mei saw it, she felt pity and pain in her heart.

She pulled her sister's hand and said, "Xiangmei, the two of us have a bad life, and we were sent to the palace to be palace maids." But when we become palace maids, we are not bullied, right? I have a good life, and I was assigned to Empress Wu, and the Empress treated me like a sister. Your life is not good, you were assigned to the side of Wan Guiren, and you were abused by Wan Guiren. But my life is up to me, isn't it? If you believe your sister once, your sister will definitely not harm you. ”

When Xiangmei heard her sister say this, she bit her lower lip with her teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what my sister said." ”

Xiangmei has listened to Su Mei since she was a child, and she will obey whatever Su Mei says, because she knows that her sister will not harm her.

Su Mei pulled Xiangmei and walked towards Empress Dowager Qian's Yongshou Palace and said, "I was supposed to take you to see Empress Wu and ask the Empress to be the master. It's a pity that the queen mother is also trapped in Kunning Palace now, and she can't get out anywhere, so we can only go and ask to see the Empress Dowager Qian. ”

The two of them walked to the Empress Dowager Qian's Yongshou Palace, and outside the palace, Su Mei said to the Empress Dowager Qian's maid: "Ask to see the Empress Dowager Qian." ”

But the palace maid refused to live or die, and didn't let them in.

Su Mei said, "Sister begs you, let us in." Our sister is looking for money, and the Queen Mother really has something to ask her. ”

The palace maid's name is Caidie, and she is the successor of Xiangla.

Since taking over Xiangla's position and becoming the palace maid in the palace of Empress Dowager Qian, her heart has become more and more arrogant, and she doesn't take anyone in her eyes.

What's more, one is the little palace maid Su Mei next to Queen Wu who has lost power, and the other is the little palace maid Xiangmei next to a little Wan Guiren.

She said fiercely: "If you two make trouble again, I will let people drive you away." ”

Su Mei and Xiangmei saw that Caidie refused to accommodate them, and there was no way, so the two of them had to fold out of the Yongshou Palace.

Xiangmei looked at Su Mei pitifully and said, "Sister, I'll just say that this matter is not so easy, let's go back." ”

Su Mei thought about it, and she said resolutely: "No. The news of our coming to Yongshou Palace today must have already reached the ears of Wan Guiren, and you can't turn back even if you want to. Now we are going to see the eldest princess, and the eldest princess can also make decisions for us. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Xiangmei and walked to Wan'an Palace.

When she walked to the gate of Wan'an Palace, she begged the little eunuch to be accommodating, and wanted to see the eldest princess.

Jian Huaizhen The people in Wan'an Palace were carefully selected by her, and all the palace people in Wan'an Palace were very amiable.

After listening to this, the little eunuch said with a sad face: "If it was usual, I would have told the eldest princess about you, but today I can't, the eldest princess is not in the palace." ”

Su Mei let out a "huh" and asked in surprise: "Where did the eldest princess go when she was not in the palace?" ”

The little eunuch shook his head and said, "We are just subordinates, how do we know where the master has gone?" But as far as I think, she may be going to Huaiming Yuan or Shangshu Mansion, and she must not be back until late today. ”

Su Mei thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, there is Father-in-law Lao, and when he comes back, he will mention our affairs to the eldest princess, and say that Queen Wu's considerate palace maid Su Mei has something important to beg the eldest princess to beg the eldest princess to make decisions for us." ”

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”

Su Mei and Xiangmei thanked the little eunuch and turned to leave.

The little eunuch saw that Xiangmei was walking very unsteadily, as if she was suffering from some serious illness, so he stopped the two and said, "You have to find the eldest princess, although the princess is not there, but Aunt Scattered is still there." Our Aunt Scattered in Wan'an Palace has always been the master, why don't I invite Aunt Scattered to come out, if you have anything to tell her first. ”

Su Mei and Xiangmei glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "In this way, there will be Grandpa Lao." ”

They knew that although they couldn't be the master of their affairs, they were the palace maids that Jian Huaizhen trusted the most, and when Jian Huaizhen came back, they would definitely tell Jian Huaizhen about their affairs.

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he went into the Wan'an Palace to ask for Scatter, and Su Mei and Xiangmei were waiting at the palace gate.

Not long after, the little eunuch ran out and said, "Go in, Aunt Scattered is willing to see you." ”

After Su Mei and Xiangmei thanked each other, they walked hand in hand to Wan'an Palace.

Ling Luo was taking a lunch break in his room, and was very surprised to see Xiangmei and Su Mei hurrying to find her.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Su Mei and Xiangmei, why did you come to Wan'an Palace to find me today, is there anything important?" ”

Su Mei knelt down when she saw her "plop", and Xiangmei followed suit.

Seeing the two sisters kneeling together, as if something serious had happened, Ling Luo asked strangely, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? If there is something to say, why kneel? ”

After speaking, he helped Su Mei up, and reached out to help Xiangmei again.

When she helped Xiangmei, her hand happened to touch Xiangmei's wrist, and Xiangmei suddenly screamed in pain, and took a step back in shock.

She glanced at Xiangmei and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiangmei looked aggrieved, tears couldn't help but fall, she sobbed and said: "Aunt Lingluo, you must help us make the decision, and when the eldest princess comes back, you must help us intercede with the eldest princess......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she choked up and couldn't speak.

Seeing that the two sisters were in such a situation, they felt that something was wrong, so they gently picked up Xiangmei, asked them to sit down, ordered the little palace maid to pour two cups of tea for them, and asked, "What's going on?" If I can help you, I will definitely help. ”

Su Mei saw that Xiangmei's arm was in pain, and she couldn't help crying.

At this time, she had tears on her face that did not dry, and she sobbed: "This matter is a long story, and it is all my fault." That day, Wan Guiren went to Kunning Palace to see the queen's mother, and Wan Guiren said that he wanted to compensate the queen's mother. At that time, the queen couldn't make up her mind, so I asked the queen not to see all the nobles. Because the queen has seen Wan Guiren these few times, there is nothing good every time. ”

Su Mei's serious attitude made Zero Luo can't help it, and she laughed with a "poof".

She smiled like this, and Su Mei and Xiangmei also burst into tears and laughed.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Su Mei said is still very reasonable, and it is a fact that Queen Wu will have some situations every time she sees Wan Zhen'er.

"You go on." Scattered looked at Su Mei and said.

Su Mei was more sharp than Xiangmei, so she said: "Aunt Lingluo, that day Wan Guiren wanted to see the queen mother, and the little palace maid couldn't send her, so I went out and sent her." I couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words about Wan Guiren at the time, who knew that Wan Guiren would abuse my sister Xiangmei after she went back, she let Xiangmei wash clothes outside and was frozen for a whole day. You can see her hands and feet are frozen like this. ”

After speaking, Su Mei took Xiangmei's hand and sent it to Zero's eyes, so that Zeroo could take a look.

Scattered looked at Xiangmei's hand and gasped, the hand was already swollen like a peach, which was very terrifying.

She sighed and said, "If you are a slave in the palace, sometimes you will inevitably be angry with your master, so you have to look away." Xiangmei has always been a noble person, and the eldest princess doesn't care much about the affairs of the Sixth Palace, so I'm afraid she may not interfere in this kind of thing. ”

When Su Mei heard this, she hurriedly knelt down on her knees and saluted: "Aunt Lingluo, no matter what, you have to help us intercede with the eldest princess, you look at Xiangmei's body." ”

After speaking, she asked Xiangmei to untie her clothes and show them to Zero.

After looking at it, I couldn't help but change my complexion.

She pointed to the injuries on Xiangmei's body, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are these scars on Xiangmei's body all abused by Wan Guiren and Mama Chen?" ”

"Aunt Scattered exactly." Xiangmei suddenly burst into tears as she spoke.

Zero Luo suddenly became angry in her heart, she looked at Wan Zhen'er as a good person on weekdays, but she didn't expect her to do such a thing.

As for that Mama Chen, Ling Luo has long looked at her unpleasantly.

Her voice became very trembling, and she said, "Wan Guiren is a noble person, how can he do such a vicious thing? If this matter is known to the eldest princess, the eldest princess will definitely not forgive her. Su Mei and Xiangmei, don't worry, the eldest princess will definitely take care of this matter. Although the eldest princess doesn't care much about the affairs of the Sixth Palace, she will not allow such a brutal thing to happen in our harem. ”

After speaking, there was an indignant look on Zero's face.

As soon as Su Mei and Xiangmei heard that Jian Huaizhen was willing to take care of it, they immediately wiped away the frightened look on their faces, and they were moved to tears.

Su Mei held her sister's hand and said, "Xiangmei, didn't I tell you, I said that the eldest princess would definitely take care of this matter, are you relieved now?" ”

Xiangmei bowed deeply again and said, "Thank you Aunt Zero, thank you to the eldest princess." ”

Scattered looked at Xiangmei and was a little angry in her heart, but there was also a trace of warm pity between her words, and she said to Xiangmei: "Xiangmei, you still don't want to go back to Wan Guiren." Now that you are in this Wan'an Palace, the news must soon reach the ears of the nobles, where is there an impermeable wall in the palace. Wan Guiren knew that you came here, she must have thought that you were here to sue, how could she spare you so easily, and maybe kill you. When Zero Luo said this, he was taken aback by his own thoughts.

She has always had a good impression of Wan Zhen'er, why did she suddenly have such a bad impression of her, she frowned and said: "You better follow Su Mei to Kunning Palace for temporary refuge, always Wan Guiren is just a nobleman, but Empress Wu is the queen, Wan Guiren still doesn't dare to make a mistake in the Queen's Palace." Besides, if something happens in the Kunning Palace, Su Mei, you can notify me as soon as possible, and I will definitely think of notifying the eldest princess. The eldest princess finally went out today, and went to Huaiming Garden to talk to the old people, we are not convenient to disturb, she will rush back tomorrow morning or noon. ””
