222. Release
Seeing that her eyes were about to protrude, and her eyes were about to burst, Qinghe did not relent. Bayi . 8
She was just thinking that she still had a long, long way to go. Fang Shanggong taught her that the embankment was thousands of miles long and collapsed in a mosquito nest. She is also literate because of her master, and she once saw this sentence when her master was practicing calligraphy.
But it wasn't until now that she really knew the phrase.
If she could have thought of Qingzhu's love for wealth and frivolity from some small things at the beginning, if she had just had a sign of it, she would have snuffed out that sign and transferred her to another place on an errand......
But now she can't let Qingzhu live. She knows too much about Yong'an Palace, inside and out, and her heart has been crooked to the evil path, she can do something to seduce the emperor in front of her master, what else can't she do? Let her go today, and tomorrow she will be a knife in someone else's hands.
Qinghe watched unmoved, Qingzhu was dragged out, and there was a shoe on the ground, which was around the table, and it might not be visible if you weren't careful.
I don't know if Qingzhu struggled too hard just now and kicked it off, or if she deliberately wanted to leave her shoes.
Either way, it's all for nothing.
Qinghe picked up the shoes and threw them into the charcoal basin. There are also plum blossoms embroidered with red silk thread on the muslin upper, which ignites at the sight of fire. Qinghe saw that the shoes were completely burned, so he used a long pair of tongs to scatter the ashes, and then he threw away his hand and stood up.
At this time in the coming year, I thought about burning some paper money for her, and I brought her a game anyway.
Qinghe wiped her hands, washed her face and pulled her head again, she still has to be on duty tonight.
The emperor and the master are actually very worry-free, and rarely call people at night, but Qinghe has developed the habit of sleeping vigilantly in the past few years. In the middle of the night, the master woke up, and Qinghe hurriedly put on his clothes and went in to serve, and poured half a cup of warm water for the master. Xie Ning was a little dazed, and only after drinking the water did he remember to ask, "Where is Qingzhu?" ”
In the past, if Qinghe took Qingzhu to the night, Qingzhu would rush to do a lot of work.
"Qingzhu caught a cold at night, and I already asked her to rest." Qinghe's face didn't change and said, "Didn't the master see it?" She handed the emperor a handkerchief and didn't hold it steady. ”
Xie Ning felt strange when he splashed the water, but now he was relieved to hear Qinghe say that she was sick: "Then let her rest." The weather is cold these days, and there are many things to do during the New Year. Take care of her, and if she is seriously ill, find medicine for her to take as soon as possible, or ask someone to come and take a look at her. ”
Qinghe responded with a mouthful: "Master, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
If Qingzhu can hear the master's words, I don't know if she will be ashamed? I'm afraid it won't. The fact that she was able to do something like this today shows how ungrateful she is. Even if you hear these words from your master, you will never be truly grateful.
How many things does the master have in a day, and now the palace affairs are slowly getting started, and the eldest prince is sent away from breakfast every day, and the master is not idle. After lunch, I had to accompany the little masters in the afternoon, and I even had to squeeze out the time to read and practice calligraphy. Qinghe remembered that when she was in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion before, the master took her and Qingmei to ponder what to eat for three meals, cut colored paper to make window flowers, and used the collected reed poles and wicker to weave things.
Of course, the current days are not comparable to the past, Qinghe just feels that although the master had nothing at that time, he doesn't have to live in fear all day long like now.
The next day, Xie Ning had breakfast and asked about Qingzhu, Qinghe and Fang Shanggong had already unified their voices, and the two of them said in unison: "Qingzhu has a fever, and I suspect that it is a bad disease, so I have to move out first." ”
Shainin was taken aback: "Evil disease? ”
"Master, don't worry, a few people down there have already checked, and no one has any symptoms. It's still between yes and no. Because there are many little masters, and the mood has not been good recently, she was moved out. If she gets better in two days, she will naturally come back again. ”
Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." "The terrible Shainin of the epidemic knows that there has been no epidemic in the capital in the past few years, but every year in spring, there will always be a wave of illnesses that will make people panic.
"Qingzhu moved out, did anyone take care of her? The bedding, charcoal fire, food, and clothes outside may not be taken care of for her, so you have to think about it more, but don't let her suffer outside. ”
"Don't worry, master, I've arranged everything."
Fang Shanggong's words made Qinghe admire in his heart.
This is the old rivers and lakes, and the words are not leaky. In the master's ears, it was naturally arranged. But Fang Shanggong didn't promise the truth of a word, what she said was arranged and what the master said was completely different.
But you can't say what Fang Shanggong said.
She just didn't tell her master the whole truth.
In this way, in a few days, if it is not good for her to "die of illness" in the New Year, she will wait until the fifteenth day of the first month to tell the master that Qingzhu is gone, that is.
There is not much movement in Yong'an Palace, and it is impossible for people outside to know, but this does not include Bai Hongqi's master and apprentice.
For Bai Hongqi, such a thing is not uncommon for him to be in the palace for many years. The emperor is upright, and such things are not uncommon. Since Bai Hongqi was serving closely, of course he also followed. When the emperor first ascended the throne, he stumbled in front of the emperor and sang through the flowers and trees...... Those contrived flattery made Bai Hongqi, a eunuch, feel sick to his stomach.
Last night, the palace maid splashed water on the emperor's body, and she wanted to change it in the Changning Palace, this kind of thing would never happen, how strict Bai Hongqi was in charge, the emperor would not be interested in the palace maids and female officials in front of the emperor, this Bai Hongqi can guarantee it. The first emperor was too chaotic at that time, there were many things that made the emperor disgusted, the palace maids and Shang Gong in front of the emperor were all honest, they didn't dare to have any thoughts, even if they were, they would never succeed under Bai Hongqi's nose.
This must have been done by Fang Shanggong, or she instructed someone to do it. Bai Hongqi saw it very accurately, Fang Shanggong seemed to be kind and easy to speak, but in fact, he looked at the one acre and three points of Yong'an Palace to death. Why do people who want to poison the concubine have to pick such a time? It's not because I don't usually find a chance. Yong'an Palace was controlled impenetrably, and after Zhou Yuchen came, there was a scheming guy staring at him day and night. There is no way, there are not only concubines here, but also three little masters, and they can't afford to bear such a crime if any one of them fails.
After this incident happened to the concubine, I am afraid that those people will never find a chance in the future.
Xiao Ye panted and ran over and said something in Bai Hongqi's ear.
Bai Hongqi's face changed: "What's wrong?" ”
"Lao Jiang of the Criminal Division was negligent and was bitten by him."
Bai Hongqi didn't ask much and entered the study.
The emperor was talking to someone inside, and his voice was not high. Bai Hongqi waited until the people inside came out, and Bai Hongqi also greeted the people with a smile: "Lord Wu." ”
"Father-in-law Bai." That person was also very polite to Bai Hongqi. There is a way that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts. People like Bai Hongqi can't afford to offend the most, and the people around the emperor will make you worse, so you can't prevent it. There are no tricks on the surface, but there are endless tricks in the dark.
Bai Hongqi beckoned his apprentice to send people away, and went into the study to reply to the emperor.
Although the people under him didn't do a good job, but those people couldn't get to the emperor, Bai Hongqi knelt down first to ask for guilt after entering, and softly returned the matter.
Jiang Shunjiu has already sent the confession, both of them were bitten to death by Gao Jieyu's instigation, one was tortured but he had already lost his breath, no one knew that he had a heart disease before, and later found out that even if this person was not punished, he would not have much time to live. Another...... I was unprepared to bite my tongue and commit suicide. The emperor was not angry, but smiled: "You have been checking for a few days, and you have given me a death certificate?" If it was really Gao Jieyu who did it, why did he bother to confess before biting his tongue? ”
Bai Hongqi hurriedly said: "The slave is incompetent, please punish the emperor." ”
"The punishment is to be punished, but for the time being, let's send it and get the current matter done first."
Bai Hongqi knew in his heart that what the emperor said must be about the release of people in the palace.
Bai Hongqi kowtowed and retreated.
All the human and physical evidence pointed to Gao Jieyu and Chen Jieyu, and now that they were gone, Bai Hongzhu felt that the feeling of déjà vu and grievance had surfaced again.
After overthrowing Concubine Shu last year, Bai Hongqi felt that he had been ashamed.
But I didn't expect that there was a more introverted and detailed character in the palace than Concubine Shu, who would be more laid out by the city government.
is so old and spicy, is it Gao Jieyu's suspicion? Otherwise, someone else is deliberately to blame.
Fang Shanggong and Xie Ning were flipping through the roster together to discuss the release of people.
Fang Shanggong smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult, and the master doesn't have to think too much." There is no one person in the world who can be liked by everyone, and it is impossible to benefit everyone in one thing. You see, the palace has released people all times, and they have all picked up the older ones and released them out. Because these people are old, oily, and don't work badly, no one wants to be served by this kind of person, right? But these people just don't want to leave the palace. Because they can go out, they have falls, and they have the ability, and people have already gone out, and these people either have nowhere to go outside the palace, or they mix well in the palace, where do they want to go out? If you go out, you may immediately fall into the streets. Take the slave maid as an example, I don't want to go out, there is no one at home, no relatives and no reason, after I go out, I can't even find a place to stay with that little severance money, and it is difficult to make a living at this age. ”
Xie Ning amused Fang Shanggong's self-deprecating words: "Look at what you said, I won't let you go, and I will be blind here if I let you go." ”
Fang Shanggong also smiled, and then said: "The eunuchs don't want to go out, the palace maids and Shang Gong are fine, after all, they are not like eunuchs." The people who want to go out are either young and have the capital to marry, or they have family members to go to...... But these people are generally not let go in the palace. ”
