Chapter Eighty-Five: The Nameless Cabin
The master and servant took the blanket roll overnight, and carried the baggage packed with their belongings to the hut in the corner of the backyard that Ximen Jingxuan said.
The room was really small, sitting alone in the corner of the courtyard, out of step with the small pond bridge that passed in front of it, and it was a small room equivalent to piling up miscellaneous items.
When I opened the door, dust was blowing in my face, there were sticks and other things on the floor, and if I was not careful, I would trip over them, and the unknown debris leaning against the wall occupied most of the room, and there was no place to stay.
Such a house cannot be directly inhabited, and it must be cleaned up after dawn.
"Miss, what should I do?" Smoke doesn't know what to do.
Lin Xin'er looked around, the sky was already thick black, and there was a faint candlelight in the courtyard not far away.
"That should be Mrs. Zhiqi's residence, right?" Lin Xin'er said that she remembered that it was the place where the female corpse appeared, "Let's go there and have a look." ”
Yan'er followed Lin Xin'er to the gate of Mrs. Zhiqi's courtyard, the door was closed, and Yan'er stepped forward and knocked.
After a while, a maid came out and opened the door, and when she saw that it was Lin Xin'er, she hurriedly welcomed in.
"The concubine is not as good as the Plum Blossom Court here, it is very rough, don't dislike the princess."
Mrs. Zhiqi knew that Lin Xin'er had just been scolded by the cane, so she invited her to the soft couch and said very politely.
This is the first time Lin Xin'er has seen Mrs. Zhiqi, and sure enough, as the information she has obtained, she is gentle and generous, and she is worthy of being a person from the side of the queen mother in the palace, and her demeanor is calm and decent, and she should be able to be regarded as a virtuous wife. It's just that he doesn't seem to have recovered from the shock a few days ago, and his complexion is a little weak.
"Where is Mrs. Zhiqi? Yan'er also said just now, I was relegated to a room in the corner of the backyard, and I can't even get a penny here. Lin Xin'er said.
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it is the same to follow the prince's side, it is inevitable to be punished occasionally, and when the prince is angry, the princess is still the master of the plum blossom court." Mrs. Zhiqi said.
"Mrs. Thor's good words." Lin Xin'er smiled, this Mrs. Zhiqi is really measured in her speech, but the back of the woman who can enter the gate of King Xuan's Mansion will not be simple. Especially for women who serve the same man, they should listen to them in reverse.
"The princess thinks the concubine is saying something against her will?" Mrs. Zhiqi said, "The concubine was the first to come to the Xuan Wangfu by the order of the queen's mother, and the queen saw that the prince was over twenty years old and there was no woman in the mansion, so she asked the concubine to serve the prince, and the concubine knew her origin, unlike Mrs. Shuiqing of Shangshu Mansion and Mrs. Mei of Yuehua Kingdom, where to serve her master well is her duty, and it is already a great grace to be able to get Mrs. Xuanwangfu, and she has never thought of anything else. ”
"Sometimes even if you don't think about it, good things will come, if Mrs. gives birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, the mother is expensive with her son, and she will be able to live a bad life in the future?" Lin Xin'er said casually.
"Children? There is no luxury in concubines. Mrs. Zhiqi smiled lightly.
Lin Xin'er saw a little helplessness hidden in Mrs. Zhiqi's smile, did she have no luxury, or did she know that she couldn't get it, so she had to give up?
After the two of them said a few words, they both excused themselves to rest under the pretext of being unwell.
Early in the morning, Yan'er insisted on giving Lin Xin'er's injury a medicine before she got up, and the two said goodbye to Mrs. Zhiqi and came to the side house, only to see that Yang Chen was already waiting there, the house was simply cleaned up, and the things in it were moved to the side of the house, and a few wide planks were picked up to support two plank beds, and a simple table was nailed to the house.
"Yes, thank you for me, the prince still has this thought, and he didn't let our master and servant toss, otherwise I don't know when I got it." Lin Xin'er walked around the room and clapped her hands.
"Since there is nothing wrong with the princess, she will resign from her humble position." Yang Chen arched his hand.
Lin Xin'er didn't say anything, if she said that she wanted to build this place into a plum blossom garden, would it be a problem?
After Yang Chen left, Yan'er also went to the dining room to cook after making the bed, leaving Lin Xin'er to secretly recruit Yueyao, and Xingyao also followed.
At this time, her location is in the remote part of the Xuan Wangfu, close to the wall of the palace, compared to the plum blossom court, it is more convenient to do things.
This is also the purpose of Lin Xin'er deliberately guiding Ximen Jingxuan to drive her here, the backyard is close to the edge of the palace, which is more conducive to joints. It's just that Ximen Jingxuan's decision was even more ruthless than she expected, originally she thought that Ximen Jingxuan would let her live in the place where Mrs. Shuiqing lived, but who knew that Ximen Jingxuan ordered her to live in this dilapidated house.
"What's the matter, the news has been clarified?" Lin Xin'er didn't expect Xingyao to return so soon, and asked with some suspicion.
"Nope." As Lin Xin'er expected, Xing Yao shook her head.
"When the subordinates were investigating the affairs between the Yuehua Kingdom and the Marquis of Xiaoyao, they encountered great resistance, and the subordinates took the people of the Water Moon Palace to carefully investigate every suspicious place, but every time they found the clues, they would be destroyed by others, and after a few days, the subordinates made no progress." Xing Yao said with some frustration, there is nothing that the Water Moon Palace has always wanted to investigate that cannot be detected, it is just a matter of time, but this time it is unexpectedly difficult to do, the other party seems to have mastered their every move, and they can be fortified in advance.
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Xin'er was also very surprised, Shuiyue Palace has been doing things in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and she has never missed, including this time when she personally went out to sneak into the Xuan Palace, she must find the imperial doctor, and the reputation that Shuiyue Palace has cultivated over the years is not false.
However, this time it encountered such a big resistance? Who is the opponent?
"In that case, let's pause the operation for now." Lin Xin'er said, she is not a stubborn person, she knows that she can advance or retreat, there is no constant success, anyway, she is still connected to the line between Ximen Jingyu and the mysterious master of Yuehua Kingdom, which is also a breakthrough.
"Yes." Xingyao said.
"I am now sure that the imperial doctor is not in the palace, but in the hands of Ximen Jingxuan, and it is very likely that it is in the Xuan Palace." Lin Xin'er said, this is the purpose of her finding Yueyao.
"In the Xuan Palace?" Yue Yao was a little surprised, but she didn't expect things to come to the coincidental side.
"Yes." Lin Xin'er nodded, "So, we have to focus on the target here, and we can't use Ximen Jingxuan as an arrow target." ”
"But King Xuan's attitude towards the young palace master is very bad, and it is not easy to approach." Yueyao Road. Although it was rumored outside that King Xuan loved the princess very much, they themselves knew how King Xuan used it to treat the young palace master. It is not easy to get close to King Xuan in depth, not to mention that the young palace master was expelled from the Plum Blossom Court, and the rumors of being favored before will definitely change.
Moreover, compared with the palace, King Xuan's Mansion is more difficult to carry out actions because of King Xuan's control, and it is even more difficult to discover the privacy of the palace. This is also the reason why it is rumored that a King Xuan can defend the entire southern Xinjiang, just because there are more King Xuan, everything becomes tricky. If the relationship with King Xuan is not good, or even regarded as a thorn in the side, it will be even more difficult to do things, and the greater the danger.
