Chapter 344: On the Road Together
Lu Caixi was taken back to Xianglai Courtyard by several little maids, half-supported and half-pushed, and locked her in the room. It was almost a matter of front and back feet, and after Lu Caixi entered the room, the women in the palace soon arrived at Xianglai Courtyard.
If they didn't know what was going on before, after this quarrel, naturally everyone was aware of it. When they got together for a while, they didn't speak. No one wanted to come into the house, and on this cold day, they just stood in the courtyard and waited.
The cold wind howled in winter, blowing the Xianglai Courtyard, which was still lively and lively a while ago, so cold and depressed at this time.
At the door, at the door of the main house, there stood Mama Jin and six little maids. There was no sound in the room. Mama Jin kept listening with her ears pricked up, for fear that Lu Caixi would escape through the back window.
In the courtyard, there were seven masters standing in large hats and holding hand stoves, and the attendants wearing thick cotton clothes beside each of them, but there was still no sound at all. The entire Xianglai Courtyard was so quiet at this time that only the sound of the cold and hard wind remained.
Qiu Yan stood with the other masters and maids in the back house, as if she was not from Xianglaiyuan. drew a clear line with Lu Caixi, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
Everyone waited like this, and after a while, there was a loud voice at the door: "Your Highness has a message......
The person who spoke was Zhuo Jiu, and next to him stood Yun Sheng and more than a dozen nursing homes. In Yunshang's hand, he held a silver tray, and on top of the tray was a white cloth. It looks like it should be a three-foot white silk.
As soon as the words fell, Zhuo Jiu took a group of servants behind him to bypass the crowd from the side and arrived in front of the main house of Dexianglai Courtyard.
Hanging his hand in front of him, he raised his voice to the room in a dignified manner: "Your Highness has an edict...... The Lu family was bold, faked pregnancy and deceived the master, disregarded the favor of the king, and gave death...... accompanied by his personal maid Qiuyan. Mama Jin is in charge, and immediately send incense to the master and servant of the courtyard on the road, and there must be no mistake. ”
"The old slave obeys." Mama Jin bowed and saluted.
Zhuo Jiu raised his face slightly, and Yun Sheng took a few steps forward and handed the tray in his hand to Mama Jin.
"Open the door, execution......" Mama Jin took the silver tray, and Zhuo Jiu shouted loudly.
At this moment, there was still no sound in the main room, and it was extremely quiet.
But Zhuo Jiu's voice fell, and in the courtyard, there was a low voice: "No, it won't......"
The sound mingled with the howling cold wind, making it even weaker.
"No...... No, ......" Qiu Yan repeated a few words in a daze, as if she didn't believe her ears.
Zhuo Jiu followed the voice and said, "Miss Qiuyan, let's go into the house." ”
When His Royal Highness favored Lu Meiren the most, although he had some contacts with Qiu Yan, he was not familiar with it. Even so, I felt that it was unbearable to strangle her.
But this is His Highness's order, His Highness ordered so, naturally there is His Highness's reason. There will be no mistake in any decision made by His Highness. So what he can do is to be ruthless and complete the errand given by His Highness.
Qiu Yan came back to her senses at this time, as if she didn't believe it at all, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuojiu, what you said is not true, isn't it?" Are you kidding me......"
The smile was a little stiff.
"Miss Qiuyan, let's go into the house." Zhuo Jiu didn't look at her, and made a "please" gesture to the door of the main house that had been opened.
In the open door, Lu Caixi sat on the stool next to the round table dejectedly, without any expression on his face, as if he had lost his soul. All that's left is a shell, and it doesn't react to anything that happens around it.
Qiu Yan looked at the main house, looked at her master, gritted her teeth fiercely, and was unwilling.
Why? Why did she want to bury Lu Caixi? Obviously, she has been very clever to avoid any involvement with Lu Caixi, how can such a situation still occur?
Lu Caixi has never treated her with the slightest kindness, she will not be stupid enough to give such a master a funeral! His Highness must have made a mistake, it must be......
She didn't do these things with Lu Caixi, it was all Lu Caixi's own idea and did it alone, and it had nothing to do with her. Let her accompany Lu Caixi on the road? Hehe...... Joke!
It must be a mistake, there must be something wrong!
"Qiu Yan! Why are you going? Seeing Qiu Yan running away, Zhuo Jiu shouted.
But Qiu Yan didn't answer him, and ran out of the courtyard gate quickly.
Zhuo Jiu raised his face and motioned to the family on the side to arrest the person back.
At this time, more than a dozen families were divided into two rows, standing on the left and right sides of the door of the main house, even if even Lu Caixi knew that she couldn't escape by herself and didn't make a senseless struggle, Qiu Yan was so confused.
After struggling like this, apart from making yourself not even a little decent, what can you end up with?
Qiu Yan ran desperately to Zhaodeyuan, wanting to ask for an explanation for herself. She didn't do anything wrong, why did she accompany Lu Caixi to die together? She's not convinced!
Behind him, the two nursing homes were already chasing closer and closer.
The minions who can work in the palace for a long time are all brains, and at such a time, they naturally will not make noise. just chased quietly, and after a short time, he caught up with Qiu Yan.
A family member rushed forward directly, directly controlled Qiu Yan from behind, strangled her neck, and dragged her back.
Qiu Yan shouted and struggled: "Let go of me...... You let me go...... I'm going to ask Your Highness...... You must be mistaken, you must be mistaken! I have made no mistake, and Your Highness will not kill me......"
Qiu Yan's shout was loud, and with the sound of the wind, it reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard. The maids were all sad, but some of the ladies showed a sneer on the corner of their mouths.
His Highness won't kill her? It's a beautiful thought.
"Hehe......" Lu Caixi, who had always been like a fugue, also sneered at this time.
The two family members grabbed one of Qiu Yan's arms, lifted her up in the air, and quickly led her back to the yard, regardless of her struggles.
Qiu Yan struggled desperately, but to no avail. He could only shout: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should you kill me?" Why...... Let me go! Everyone is the same person, why do you embarrass me......"
"Your Highness won't kill me, I didn't do anything wrong, Your Highness won't kill me! Let me go, don't kill the wrong person......"
During the struggle, the person had been brought to the door of the main house.
Zhuo Jiu saw that she was struggling badly and was worried that something would go wrong, so he ordered: "Watch her closely, don't let go." ”
Then he said to Mama Jin: "Mama, do it." ”
Mama Jin nodded and entered the house with a silver tray.
Zhuo Jiu and Yunshang retreated to both sides of the door and let the open door out.
In this way, the situation in the house was clearly displayed in front of every lady in the courtyard.
His Royal Highness's intention is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so they must be allowed to see clearly, how could Zhuo Jiu and Yunshang not understand this?
In the house, the two housekeepers knelt on the ground according to Qiu Yan, and Mama Jin was standing in front of Lu Caixi with the silver tray with two white silks, and asked, "Madam, is it the slave who sent you on the road, or are you going by yourself?" The slave maid means that the slave and maid tie the white silk to the beam of the house, and the lady walks by herself, which is more decent. ”
Lu Caixi raised her eyes and glanced at Mama Jin, her eyes full of contempt: "You old slave and maid, you have lived for most of your life, aren't you still a slave...... Dogs are inferior. ”
Mama Jin smiled at the corner of her mouth, completely ignoring her words, but just waiting for her answer.
Lu Caixi raised his head and looked at the beams of the house, his eyes were hollow......
Seeing Lu Caixi looking up at the beams of the house, Mama Jin understood what she meant. Or, it helped Lu Caixi make a choice.
Turning around and pointing to a tall man standing at the door, he said, "Come here, tie things to the beams." ”
"Yes." The tall man answered, and entered the house happily.
took a piece of white silk from Mama Jin's hand, jumped on the table, stood steadily, and tied the three-foot white silk to the highest part of the beam.
Bai Aya is leisurely, and in this room full of warm colors, it looks so out of place.
"The table is removed, and the stool is placed underneath so that Madame can be on her way." Mama Jin commanded in an orderly manner, as if she was not killing someone, but really just helping Lu Caixi pack her things and send her out.
The housekeeper folded up the table and stood aside effortlessly, and placed a round stool beside the table under the white silk tied with a ring. He respectfully stepped aside.
"Ma'am, please." Mama Jin made a "please" gesture to Lu Caixi.
Lu Caixi raised his head and looked at the swaying white silk...... After watching it for a long time, there was no movement.
"Ma'am, please." Mama Jin reminded again.
Qiu Yan struggled hard, even though she had no strength, she still kept struggling.
Seeing this, Mama Jin didn't need to ask her what choice she had to make, and directly instructed the family: "You come to send Miss Qiuyan on the road." ”
"Yes." The family responded and stepped forward to pick up another white silk in Mama Jin's hand.
Zhuo Jiu called them over to help, which naturally included this murder. Just look at who is unlucky and accidentally pointed at. Since he was unlucky today, there was nowhere to excuse himself, so he could only finish his errand happily and go back and sincerely worship the Bodhisattva.
Jia Ding walked behind Qiu Yan with Bai Aya, and said to the other two, "Brothers, you can hold it." ”
"Don't worry." One of them answered.
Seeing the white silk in his hand, Qiu Yan was so frightened that her legs went weak. I was trembling all over, and I didn't even have the strength to struggle.
This Ding did things very neatly, and when he stood behind Qiu Yan, the white-collar workers had quickly wrapped around Qiu Yan's neck.
"Please, don't kill me...... No...... Don't kill me......" Qiu Yan was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
With Mama Jin present, it was difficult for the family to say anything like "I'm sorry", so they could only ignore Qiu Yan's words. With a force, he tightened the white silk in his hand......
