Chapter 48 Murder and Silence
"Rubbish!"
When the eldest lady received the news that Qingling was poisoned and was caught red-handed, she couldn't help but drop her favorite set of tea sets.
After the fall, I couldn't help but feel distressed, only to feel that my chest was getting more and more blocked.
Shen Weiwei was a little panicked, "Mother, what should I do?" Will Qingling betray us? ”
"Don't worry, she won't have that chance." A cold light flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and she turned her head sideways to give the grandmother beside her a look.
Mama understood, bowed and withdrew.
Shen Yue guessed correctly, when the eldest lady handed over the poison to Qingling, she had already regarded Qingling as an outcast.
Whether it succeeds or not, Qingling's fate is the same. Because, only the dead are the best at keeping secrets.
The eldest lady doesn't trust Qingling, or rather, she doesn't believe anyone except herself.
Shen Yue ordered Qingxing's sleeping hole, sneaked out, sat on the roof of the firewood room and waited for most of the night, and finally waited for a sneaky shadow.
She couldn't help but say secretly, and sure enough, as she expected, she immediately cheered up.
The man carried a basket in his hand, sneakily walked to the door of the firewood room and looked left and right, made sure that there was no one around, and then took out a key from his bosom and opened the lock on the door.
"Who." As soon as the door of the firewood room opened, a vigilant voice immediately sounded inside.
It seems that Qingling doesn't want her to be so determined on the surface, otherwise she wouldn't be so vigilant.
The person who came seemed to have expected it, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Qingling, it's me." ”
"Mama Ning?" Qingling couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard the voice of the person who came, "Did Mrs. send you to rescue me?" Let's go. ”
"It's me." Mama Ning laughed and said, "Don't worry, poor thing, I haven't eaten at night, I'm hungry, right?" I prepared some food for you, pad your stomach first, and then have the strength to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion after a while. ”
As she spoke, she placed the basket on the ground and took out the dishes one by one.
"Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Qingling listened to her words and couldn't help but hesitate.
Mama Ning sighed and said, "Now that the eldest lady is holding on to you, Madame can't help it." If you stay, when the prime minister knows tomorrow, he will not be able to spare you. Why don't you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being and go outside to hide. Don't worry, Madame has already arranged for you, so I'll put you in the Zhuangzi where Madame is married. After a while, the wind has passed, and you come back. ”
Qingling seemed to be relieved when she heard this, and asked hesitantly, "Then my face ......?"
"I've brought the antidote, you can cure your poison by eating it, you know, Madame never treats people who do things for her." Mama Ning smiled and took out a porcelain vase from her arms and handed it to Qingling.
He urged again: "You hurry up and eat, I'll take care of the curfew, and you will leave immediately after eating." ”
"Oh, good." Qingling was urged like this, and couldn't help but be a little panicked, nodded hurriedly, raised his hand and picked up a piece of his favorite osmanthus cake on weekdays and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
But she didn't want to suddenly fly a stone out of nowhere, and hit her wrist accurately, her hand suddenly loosened, and the osmanthus cake that had been delivered to her mouth fell to the ground, and rolled to the corner of the wall with a grunt.
Originally, in this dark night, there was no light, and it was difficult to find a small osmanthus cake falling to the ground.
But I don't know if it's a coincidence or a beautiful day, today's moonlight is surprisingly orderly, and the moonlight shining in from the door happens to fall in that corner.
Qingling's gaze subconsciously followed the osmanthus cake, of course, she didn't mean to pick up the osmanthus cake again and eat it.
She is also the maid in charge of the young lady's side, and she has taken refuge in the eldest lady, and there is no shortage of such a bite to eat on weekdays.
There was a rat hole in the corner, and the rats in the hole didn't know if they smelled the smell of food, and were looking out.
Seeing the osmanthus cake rolling to his mouth, he immediately couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite it.
Qingling couldn't help but scolded angrily, "Thief rat." ”
The next moment, his eyes widened in horror.
Because the mouse who had eaten the osmanthus cake fell down in less than a moment.
Naturally, this can't be because the rat has taken poison before, it can only be that the osmanthus cake is poisonous, and it is also a poison that seals the throat when you see blood.
Qingling instantly realized that the eldest lady didn't want to save her at all, but wanted to kill her.
Before Mama Ning could react, she stood up and ran out.
Mama Ning's reaction was not slow, she grabbed her arm with her backhand, and sneered: "I originally wanted to give you a good time, send you on the road comfortably, and also full of the love of this acquaintance." Since you don't know what to do, don't blame Mama for being ruthless. ”
Qingling only felt that it was impossible to escape, and couldn't help but break the jar and shout, "Kill someone, help." ”
He sneered at Mama Ning again: "Mama is loyal to the eldest lady, but I don't know, will you fall into the same fate as me one day?" ”
Mama Ning couldn't help but shake her head, Qingling took the opportunity to lower her head and bite her wrist hard, broke away from her hand and ran out again.
As he ran, he shouted, "Someone, kill someone." ”
At this time, it was already late at night, and everything was silent, and the sharp female voice suddenly remembered, and it suddenly came out of the distance.
Although the firewood room is remote, many people still hear the movement.
Mama Ning secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and she couldn't care about it, so she took out a dagger from her arms and threw it towards Qingling's heart.
Shen Yue sat on the roof, taking all this in clearly, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
She didn't expect that this unremarkable old lady would also have some skills.
Fortunately, she doesn't know how to work internally, only some superficial work.
Shen Yue shook his hand and threw out another stone, and the last shot came first, accurately knocking the dagger to the ground.
"Who?" Mama Ning instantly realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked around vigilantly, but only to see a black shadow flashing in front of her, and she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Shen Yue clapped her hands, glanced at Qingling, who had already run away, and did not catch up, but flew back to the roof again, ready to squat down and continue to watch the play.
"It seems that this king came at the right time, and the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be very lively tonight."
Caught off guard, a cold voice suddenly came from his side, and he was so frightened that his feet slipped and he almost rolled off the roof.
"Di Xiuhan, do you know that people are scared to death?" She couldn't help but glare angrily at the man who suddenly appeared next to her.
Di Xiuhan glanced at her lightly and said, "This king thinks that your courage is not so small. ”
"It's not a matter of guts." Shen Yue couldn't help but reason with him.
Di Xiuhan suddenly said, "People are here." ”
The next moment, the noisy sound came, and from a distance, I saw the housekeeper Shen An and Mama Yu walking in front, Qingling and two guards walking in the middle, followed by a dozen or so people walking towards this side.
Shen Yue secretly said in her heart that the matter was important, and the account with Emperor Xiuhan could be calculated later.
Busy holding his breath and watching the play quietly.
When they saw Mama Ning fainting on the ground, Shen An and Mama Yu were obviously very surprised.
According to their thoughts, Mama Ning should have disappeared a long time ago, and they pressed Qingling over just to go through the motions.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows who did it, and everyone is just pretending to be confused.
If Shen Xiang doesn't speak, then the murderer will only be Qingling in the end.
Shen An and Mama Yu are both human spirits, so naturally they don't want to have extraneous branches.
I didn't expect the person sent by the eldest lady to kill the mouth to be so stupid, and actually let the person who killed the mouth escape.
Moreover, looking at the situation, it seems that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and it has been calculated.
Now that everyone has obtained stolen goods, and there are so many pairs of eyes watching, there are many people, they just want to sell a good one to the eldest lady and perfunctory.
Shen An and Mama Yu glanced at each other, and had no choice but to say, "Tie people up first, and hand them over to Xiangye tomorrow." ”
This is to procrastinate, and then give the eldest lady a chance to make amends.
Shen Yue couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth and sneered silently.
Shen An and Mama Yu are used to meeting left and right, she has long expected this, how can she not take precautions?
It's time for the person she arranged to arrive.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a maid dressed in green clothes walking over with a lantern and said in a loud voice: "What happened, noisy and yelling, waking up Xiangye?" ”
"It's Miss Yanran." Mama Yu hurriedly greeted her with a smile and said, "It's just a little thing, why did it alarm you?" ”
Yan Ran smiled faintly and said, "Xiangye is shocked, what am I worth." Alright, the housekeeper and the grandmother hurry up and take the people, and come with me. ”
"This ......" Mama Yu glanced at Mama Ning, who was still in a coma, and hesitated.
She also knows something about the temperament of this eldest lady, although today's incident has little to do with the two of them, it is difficult to guarantee that the eldest lady will not be angry.
"How?" Yan Ran raised her eyebrows, "Xiangye's order didn't work?" Mama has to think about whose slave she is. ”
Mama Yu's heart jumped, and she hurriedly said: "Miss Yanran misunderstood, aren't I worried about disturbing Xiangye's purity." ”
"That's not something you should worry about." Yan Ran smiled slightly: "If I say something unpleasant, don't blame Mama." This slave should know the duty of a slave. The master does what he tells him, and the most taboo thing is to make his own opinion. Mama is much older than me, so she should understand this truth better. ”
"Yes, yes, the old woman was confused for a while, thanks to the girl's awakening." Mama Yu nodded busily.
Originally, Mama Yu was the housekeeper and the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, and Yanran was just the big maid in charge of Shen Xiang's side, and her status was still a higher level than Mama Yu.
But who made Yanran one of the most trusted people around Shen Xiang, Mama Yu couldn't say that she had to give her some face.
What's more, she was also grabbed by Yanran, so she could only bow down and make it small.
Di Xiuhan saw at a glance that this Yan Ran was strange, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at Shen Yue next to him: "This girl doesn't seem to have a low status, how did you get her into your hands?" ”
Shen Yue turned her head, smiled at Emperor Xiuhan, and spit out two words slyly, "Guess." ”
