Chapter 339: Catching the Adulterer
A smile faintly appeared on the mother-in-law's lips: "Imperial Doctor Zhou is young, and he is born to be graceful, so it is rare to provoke palace maids." But on this cold day, the two of them ran to the back of the rockery near the hospital for a private meeting, and they were overheard, which is ridiculous. ”
As soon as the mother-in-law said this, Lu Xian's body couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, knowing that what she said was true. Because, the hidden place behind the rockery was discovered when she was on an errand in Ci'an Palace, and Zhou Yuan often whispered a few words there, touching and making love.
No wonder a while ago, Zhou Yuan was so cold to himself, it turned out that he had a new love! hated himself for being infatuated with him, gave him his innocent body, and he also messed with flowers and grass, provoking this kind of romantic debt, it was a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!
Lu Xun was so angry that he only regarded the dim sum in his hand as the negative person.
The mother-in-law squinted at her reaction, how vicious she was, and immediately saw that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
And the mother-in-law's scrutinizing gaze made Lu Xian's heart instantly swoke, and he cleaned up his face full of hatred.
"Which servant is so bold?"
The mother-in-law sighed and shook her head: "I heard that Imperial Doctor Zhou denied this matter, and for the sake of Zhou Imperial Doctor's face, the Queen Mother did not delve into it, otherwise she would definitely punish that charming maid with a cane to set an example." After all, this week, the Taiyi Committee is really a rare talent, and he is the queen's person, so it will be a big thing and a small thing, forget it. ”
"The Queen Mother is really magnanimous." Lu Xianqiang laughed twice, but his heart was full of jealousy.
The Queen Mother was just thinking about the queen and didn't want to fight again. Imperial Physician Zhou is just that, if the Queen Mother knows, who is the cheap maid who fornicated with Imperial Physician Zhou, she will never be spared, and the cane punishment is the lightest. ”
Lu Xun said "um", forgetting that he also had a personal relationship with Zhou Yuan, and casually echoed with righteous indignation: "I don't know how to be honest, corrupt the palace, and a thousand cuts are all due." ”
"If you think so, that's right." The mother-in-law slapped her and asked her tentatively: "Wouldn't it be you who had a private meeting with Imperial Doctor Zhou that night?" ”
Lu Raid shook his head in panic: "How is it possible? Lu Raid has always obeyed the rules, Mama, you know, the night before yesterday, it was Lu Raid who helped you count the number of people and then sent you out. The people in the room were now staring at me, wishing that something was wrong with me, and that I had slept soundly all night, and I had not even turned over. ”
Lu Xun told the truth, her mother-in-law has obviously treated her well in the past few days, and she is courteous in front of her mother-in-law, so those palace people look at her with extreme contempt and pickiness. If there really was anything wrong with her during the night, how could those people spare her? I'm afraid that I have already rushed to come over and report to myself.
"It's better if it's not you." The mother-in-law sighed softly: "You, after all, you are still young, not as many of us who have lived for most of our lives have experienced many ups and downs, and we are also thoughtful in looking at people." At that time, the imperial physician was now in an important position, and the lowly hooves in this palace were staring at it, wanting to climb high. But where can you people of this status be able to climb high, don't be delusional, lest you be deceived and innocent, and you will give up from the beginning to the end, and there is no place to cry. ”
Lu Zheng scolded Zhou Yuan eighteen times in his heart, and did not take his mother-in-law's words to heart: "Thank you for reminding you, Lu Zhen will definitely take it to heart." ”
The mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction: "However, if there is something to say, Imperial Doctor Zhou's mother-in-law still remembers it, and he entrusted me to take care of you more, no, good things will come immediately." ”
"What's good?"
The mother-in-law took a small sip to blow off the tea foam, and took a sip unhurriedly: "Father-in-law Shicai Ding asked me for a palace maid in charge of the night watch, and I recommended you to him." Although it is a little harder, but this grade has been upgraded by two levels, and compared to our Huanyi Bureau, it can be a lot more leisurely, you have to work hard. ”
When Lu Xun heard this, he was simply overjoyed, knelt at the feet of his mother-in-law, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you Mama, thank you Mama, your kindness Lu Zheng will remember it for the rest of your life." ”
The mother-in-law waved her hand: "The coming days are long, and the days to come will be long." As the saying goes, it is better to bully the old man than to bully the poor young man, you are a promising person, you will show your face sooner or later, and I will take care of my mother-in-law more in the future. ”
Lu Zheng was almost incoherent with excitement, and after so many days of hard work, he finally saw hope. This night patrol is also a quiet errand, and it is much freer, especially if you want to see Zhou Yuan in the future, it is much more convenient: "Lu Xun is not an ungrateful person, and Mama's kindness will definitely be repaid." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and waved her hand, let Lu Xun go down and prepare, and take her to report to Gonggong Ding in a while.
Lu Xian hurriedly retreated, with the wind under his feet and his face full of spring breeze.
The mother-in-law patted her heart, feeling lucky: "This girl seems to be unclear from that Zhou Yuan for a long time." Fortunately, the Queen Mother arranged her out, otherwise if something ugly happened in the future, wouldn't it affect me? ”
On the second day of the land raid, she was transferred to Ding's father-in-law, and she was assigned an errand to be responsible for night patrols and street sweeping in the southeast area of the Forbidden City.
The Tai Hospital is located in the Forbidden City, where the rotating office is located.
Lu Xian's heart was like frying, and he couldn't wait to find Zhou Yuan immediately and ask him about his private meeting with the palace maid.
But she is a smart person, calm down, and know that Zhou Yuan is on the cusp at this time, and it is better to keep a certain distance from him as much as possible. Otherwise, if one is not careful, he will be caught by someone again, and he will be falsely accused of being the one who fornicated with him, but it will be very bad.
Besides, she knew Zhou Yuan well, and knew that even if he questioned him, he would definitely not admit it, let alone say the name of the palace maid, and he would definitely prevaricate with rhetoric.
She often thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and gradually transferred her hatred to the palace maid who seduced Zhou Yuan.
In her opinion, Zhou Yuan belongs to her, so the person who has no shame in fornicating with Zhou Yuan must be a fox who seduces Zhou Yuan. Therefore, the fault is not in Zhou Yuan, but in that woman.
A woman who falls in love generally loses more than half of her judgment and becomes stupid.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally made up her mind that she must dig out that woman and let her get the end she deserves. As long as she is removed, Zhou Yuan's mind will definitely return to him.
A suspicious woman, her keen observation ability is even more powerful than the first god in the capital, she can patiently peel off the cocoon, bit by bit to find clues. And her perseverance is even more determined than those scholars who have studied hard for ten years in pursuit of fame.
She worked silently and did her job well, but her eyes were like goshawks catching prey, staring at the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy, especially when Zhou Yuan was on duty and in the palace.
There are not many people who come to the hospital, and most of them are eunuchs, unless it is some unspeakable hidden things that are unwilling to publicize, the masters of each palace will send the palace people around them.
However, how could Zhou Yuan and Xuanji meet blatantly again and give people a handle?
Zhou Yuan was shocked when he saw Lu Xian near the Tai Hospital for the first time. These days, the palace seems to be calm, but he is a thief and has always been in a state of fear. Seeing Lu Xun appear leisurely near the Imperial Pharmacy, he immediately became apprehensive.
At that time, there were people around him, he pretended not to know each other, and passed by Lu Xian, who did not smile at him as before, but secretly watched him leave.
The second time he saw Lu Xian, he was sure that there must be a reason, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked straight to Lu Xun and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lu Xian smiled meaningfully: "This is my errand." ”
"What errand?"
"Didn't my housekeeper tell you about it? She accepted your favor and transferred me to Gonggong Ding. ”
Zhou Yuan frowned slightly: "That's all?" ”
Lu Zheng curled the corners of his lips: "What are you afraid of?" ”
"What am I afraid of?" Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then try not to come to me in the future, we must keep an appropriate distance." ”
Lu Raid pretended not to know: "Why? ”
Someone was already walking towards the two of them from a distance, Zhou Yuan's expression was solemn, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Don't ask so much, just do it." ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry, without looking back, like avoiding the plague, obviously being a thief.
Lu Xun sneered behind him.
Naturally, she won't give up easily.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, not to mention a woman full of jealousy?
Lu Zheng finally realized who the woman who had an affair with Zhou Yuan was. Although Zhou Yuan and Xuanji were cautious, they had never met in private since Concubine Ling's accident, and if there was anything wrong with Concubine Ling, she also sent the little eunuch to run errands, so as not to be caught by the Queen Mother and investigate Xuanji's handle.
Lu Raid found Xuanji, but because Xuanji couldn't hold it back, he provoked her head.
She didn't know that Xuanji existed, but Xuanji knew her.
Lu Xun is very diligent, she is the first to get up and the last to rest every day, and she is conscientious, even the picky father-in-law Ding is full of praise for her. In fact, Lu Xian just wanted to keep an eye on Zhou Yuan.
Xuanji didn't know that Lu Zheng was transferred to work under Gonggong Ding. On one occasion, she occasionally passed by Lu Zheng in the company of others, and Lu Zheng was sweeping the floor with his head down, and the dust that flew up swept onto her newly made parrot green embroidered shoes.
Xuanji can't be considered a bully, so she only muttered: "Look at it, don't be like a headless fly." ”
Lu Xun was thinking about things with his head bored, and when he raised his face and saw that it was a third-class palace maid, he knew which master was waiting for him, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry sister, I didn't pay attention for a while." ”
Xuanji snorted lightly from the end of his nose, and was about to step over, when he turned his face to see Lu Zheng's eyebrows clearly, and lowered his raised foot again.
