Chapter 36: Nian Xia Tou Cheng

Rong Tai listened, frowned and thought for a while before replying: "When the slave was in the Pujia Palace, he didn't see the prince fall ill. As for the taboo of the prince, in addition to not liking to eat mutton, he is not allowed to let others touch the things in his study casually, and there is also the fact that on the night of the fifteenth full moon of every month, he will stay alone in the Nian Pavilion, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, never change. The rest, it doesn't seem to be much!"

"Is that all?"

"yes, that's all. Rong Tai nodded, suddenly remembered something, scratched his head and said: "That, master, there doesn't seem to be a maid to serve in the Pujia Palace, does this count?"

"No maid?" Min Qingrou was stunned when she heard this.

"Or rather, there are no women. Rongtai suddenly blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, Rongtai is a man, so he naturally pays some attention to women." During the time when the servants served in the Pujia Palace, except for the time when the masters of each courtyard went to sleep, they had never seen other maids enter the Pujia Palace. In addition to the perennial follower of Commander Wei, there are only two small servants beside the prince, one is called Xia You and the other is called Xiao Mu. ”

Min Qingrou fell into deep thought, according to what Rongtai said, Situ Yue didn't seem to have any big problems! Everyone has their own preferences, and it's not a big deal if they don't like to eat mutton. It's even more human nature to don't like others to touch his things, and he stays in the study on the fifteenth day of the month just because he misses the palace concubine. There seemed to be no flaws in everything, but why did she always feel that something was wrong?

She looked up at Rong Tai and saw him standing in front of him, his face was not the slightest inappropriate, and she was a little confused for a while.

She waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go down! Go to the Fuxiang Garden first and bring Nian Xia back, and then talk about the rest!"

"Yes!" Rong Tai bowed out of the room, and a suspicious glint flashed in his raised eyes the moment the door closed.

originally thought that Rongtai could bring him some clues, but he didn't expect it to be empty again.

Seeing Min Qingrou's eyebrows locked, Yuan Qiao couldn't help but step forward and said: "Master, don't be discouraged, Rongtai has not served the prince closely, so it's not strange if you don't know." When the slave and maid send people to investigate all over the palace, maybe there will be any new discoveries. ”

"That's all it takes!" Min Qingrou nodded.

Fortunately, now that Min Qingrou is in power, they can eat anywhere now, which also makes it much easier for Yuan Qiao to do things.

She asked Xi'er Jing'er to find a familiar maid to inquire about the news, and she went to inquire around the palace in the name of winning people's hearts. But no matter how she inquired, she couldn't find out anything about Situ Yue's taboos. It seems that everyone doesn't know why Situ Yue has so many inexplicable taboos, but he accepted it as a matter of course.

Tossed around all afternoon, got nothing. Coincidentally, he returned to Poria Xuan in disappointment and returned the result to Min Qingrou.

Min Qingrou's doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger. This doesn't make sense at all? People are curious, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to so many quirks of Situ Yue, unless......

Min Qingrou's heart moved slightly, unless it was Situ Yue who gave the death order! Therefore, no one in the entire palace dared to mention the taboo. Even if there are insiders, in order to save their lives, they will never spit out!

It seems that she has to write down the strong medicine! But who should she try it with?

"Master, Rongtai asks to see!"

Just thinking about it, Jing'er came in and came back.

Min Qingrou raised her head and said, "Let him in." ”

Jing'er Fu retreated, and then Rongtai walked in and bowed.

"Master, the slave has already brought Nian Xia back!"

"Oh, how is she?" Min Qingrou asked casually.

"Back to the master, it's not very good. Nian Xia was covered in wounds, whips, sticks, and sharp scratches, and some places were suppurated! When I went, I was in a coma in the firewood room with a high fever, and I still haven't woken up!"

Rong Tai stepped forward to reply, although there was no special expression on his face, Min Qingrou still keenly heard a trace of worry in his tone.

Min Qingrou glanced at Rong Tai, pondered, and said, "That's it, let's go find a doctor to take a look at her first! As for what to do with her, let's make a decision when she wakes up!"

"Yes!" Rong Tai's eyes lit up slightly, bowed in response, and immediately retreated.

Yuan Qiao looked at Rong Tai's hurried figure, and couldn't help but wonder: "Look at his hurried appearance, I don't know and think something big has happened!"

"Who knows? Maybe it's really an important event in his heart?"

Min Qingrou raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Yes, what can be done for the master, which is not an important matter? This Rongtai is quite interesting! Since the master was favored, he has also been obedient a lot?"

Coincidentally, he misunderstood what Min Qingrou meant.

Min Qingrou smiled faintly, and suddenly beckoned to Yuan Qiao: "Yuan Qiao, come here." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Qiao was stunned for a moment, approached closer, and asked a little puzzled, "What does the master command?"

Min Qingrou didn't answer immediately, but looked outside the door, leaned close to Yuanqiao's ear, and whispered a few words.

Yuan Qiao's eyes immediately widened, and he intuitively blurted out, "What? Why do you want to do this?"

After speaking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be too loud, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master, what do you mean?"

Min Qingrou smiled, casually lowered her head and stroked the plum blossom embroidery on her cuffs, and replied, "Just do it! I'll tell you the reason later." ”

Although Yuan Qiao was full of suspicion, he still nodded and agreed, blessed his body, and retreated.

Nian Xia's injury is indeed not light, after asking the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, he fell asleep for another day and a night before he woke up, the fever subsided, and the person recovered somewhat, but after waking up, he was still trembling, I was afraid that he was frightened by Mrs. Luomei's viciousness!

"Nian Xia, go to see the master later, be careful to reply! You must know that if you can pick up this life, it is the master's tolerance! What is the situation now, you yourself know! Don't be confused and put the wrong position again!"

In the room under the west wing of Poria Xuan, Rong Tai admonished Nian Xia with a serious face.

Nian Xia is not bad, his appearance is very smart, and he can really be regarded as outstanding among all the maids. Because of this, she has always been arrogant, and she was unwilling to stay in the deserted Poria Xuan, so she knotted Mrs. Luomei, who was very favored at that time, and thought that one day she could turn a sparrow into a phoenix.

didn't think about it, this Mrs. Luomei is a ruthless character, and she is jealous by nature. After Nian Xia was transferred to her, it was okay at first, but then she was targeted everywhere, and in the end, she ended up being angry.

If there is a slight mistake, Mrs. Luomei will catch her and beat her to death. She knew that it was because she was from Poria Xuan, and because Mrs. Luomei was jealous of her appearance.

Especially Mrs. Luomei was driven to Fuxiangyuan, after Min Qingrou suddenly became favored, the days of summer were even more difficult!

If it weren't for Rongtai going in time this time, I'm afraid that my life would have been handed over to Mrs. Luomei!

Thinking of this, Nian Xia couldn't help but feel sad. Choked up and said: "I know that I am to blame, and the master of Concubine Rou still misses the old love and is grateful for Xia! I will never dare to have any unrealistic delusions in the future! I have suffered a lot with Mrs. Luomei these days, not to mention any getting ahead, even the benefits of ordinary maids will not get half a cent! My family has come to ask for money several times, and I borrowed a few taels of silver for my younger brother to use! Mrs. Luomei does not treat me as a human being at all, if it weren't for you, I am afraid I would not be able to live now......

In the end, Nian Xia cried even more.

"Okay, don't be sad yet!Drink the medicine!" Rong Tai brought the medicine bowl on the bed table to Nian Xia, and said: "Wait for the master to summon later, you have to make a statement first! The master is different from the past, you have to be very careful!"

Nian Xia wiped her tears and looked up at Rong Tai, her face full of sadness. "What will the master do with me? Rongtai, I'm a little scared. ”

"I don't know, the master is no longer the weak and deceitful master he used to be, and his mind is even more unpredictable! Nian Xia, to save his life, there is only one way to be loyal!"

Rong Tai frowned and shook his head.

When Nian Xia heard this, she was terrified again. Listening to Rongtai's tone, his old master seems to have changed a lot. I escaped death this time, I don't know what kind of future I am facing?

Nian Xia drank the medicine, and Jing'er came to summon her, saying that Min Qingrou wanted to see her. Nian Xia gritted her teeth and followed Jing'er to the main house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Min Qingrou sitting in front of the tea table in the small hall, while Yuan Qiao stood aside, and Nian Xia hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The slave knocks to see Concubine Rou!"

This girl is a water spirit, although she is dressed in plain clothes and her face is pale, she still can't hide her beautiful appearance. Min Qingrou looked her up and down, only to see that she was holding a maid's bun on her head, decorated with plain beads, and only a splendid purse hanging from her waist was slightly colored.

Min Qingrou swept over the splendid purse and then raised her hand, saying, "You just read Xia?" ”

Nian Xia then raised her head to look at Min Qingrou, but she found that Min Qingrou, who was sitting on top now, did not have a cowardly expression on her face, and her expression was indifferent and calm, which was really different from her before.

It turns out that what Rong Tai said is true! This old master seems to have really changed a lot.

With a drum in her heart, she kowtowed again: "Slave and maid thank Concubine Rou for saving her life!"

"You don't have to thank me, if it weren't for Rongtai's intercession for you, I would never have risked offending Mrs. Luomei and took you out of Fuxiangyuan!

Min Qingrou's hands were half-hidden in her sleeves, and her eyes swept over the red plum blossoms on the cuffs, and then fell on Nian Xia's face.

"Yes! The slave and maid deserve death, and they really don't deserve to be so loved by the mother! The slave and the slave and the maid remember the kindness of the slave and the maid, and only hope that the slave and the maid will be gracious, let the slave and the maid stay by the mother's side, and be able to repay the great kindness of the mother in her lifetime!"

Nian Xia burst into tears, and bowed again.

Min Qingrou glanced at Nian Xia, then then fell on Rong Tai, who was standing with his hands hanging on the side, and continued: "Nian Xia, you must know that Poria Xuan is different from the past tonight, and it is not so easy to come back!"

Nian Xia raised her head, bit her pale lip and said: "The slave and maid know! But the slave and maid have nowhere to go, if they go back to the Xiangyuan, they will definitely be tortured to death by Mrs. Luomei! The slave and the maid beg the mother for mercy, Nian served in the beginning, save the slave and the maid! The slave and the maid will definitely serve with all their hearts in the future, if they have two hearts, they are willing to be punished by the thunder and thunder of the sky!"

After that, he crawled down and cried bitterly.

Min Qingrou's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, and she seemed to be a little unbearable, and sighed lightly: "That's it, you get up!" Although I drowned and lost my memory, I don't remember the original incident for a long time, but since Rongtai intercedes for you, then you can stay in Poria Xuan for the time being!"

Nian Xia didn't expect Min Qingrou to agree so easily, and she was immediately overjoyed, and kowtowed a few more times, thanking her repeatedly.

"Okay, by chance, you take her down and arrange a place to live, and when you are better, you can arrange affairs!"

Min Qingrou instructed Yuan Qiao, and Yuan Qiao responded, and retreated with Nian Xia and Rong Tai.
