"What Zi Jiang doesn't know?" Mrs. Cheng snorted and sneered: "Even if you blow through the cowhide, only I can be happy, rest you, can you know more than Zijiang?" ”

Nan Zhu refused to let go of the opportunity easily, "Mother Cheng, what I said is the truth, it is what the princess asked me to do alone, no one knows!" Even Zijiang doesn't know! ”

The rats in the woodstack seemed to sense that the people outside had nothing to do but be noisy, and they came out to forage for food, squeaking incessantly, mixed with the pleading of the southern candles, which made people feel even more annoying.

Mrs. Cheng said impatiently, "In the middle of the night, I don't let people sleep!" Tell you, it's time to know that the old lady already knows, now wait for the people who went to Kudu Nunnery to come back, the eldest grandmother said, I have counted the things in Huiyueju, and I will deal with you one by one, when the time comes, what do you have to say, stop screaming, annoyed to death! Hear no! ”

Mrs. Cheng finished counting, and kicked the door "bang" to vent her dissatisfaction.

Nan Zhu was so frightened that her neck shrunk and she stood in the darkness in a daze.

Really said! Zi Jiang must have revealed some secret of the princess!

Otherwise, how could Mrs. Cheng completely ignore her words, or even disdain them?

It must be Zi Jiang's words, the amount is enough!

Also, Mrs. Cheng said that she is only waiting for the people from Kuduan to come back now, could it be that the princess's fake identity has been exposed?

Nan Candle was in a cold sweat.

What is Zi Jiang's identity? betrayed the princess so easily......

Could it be that her identity is not under the princess, and she abandoned the princess in order to protect herself?

Nan Candle's heart was in turmoil.

She is not a dead soldier, just an ordinary servant girl, at this time, she has no ability to save the master, maybe she will drag the master, if the princess has the opportunity, she will be the first to kill her!

Nan Zhu sat on his knees, his head full of mush.

Mrs. Cheng said that the eldest grandmother will come back to deal with her when she is free, she only has this one chance to save her life, what do you want to say to the eldest grandmother, in exchange for a glimmer of life?

******

Outside the door, Mrs. Cheng and Feng He glanced at each other, cautiously followed Li Qingyi out of the firewood room, and stopped when they walked to the porch over there and made sure that Nan Zhu couldn't hear the words of a few people.

Li Qingyi looked at the alfalfa grass that was trying to poke its head out of the gap in the withered grass under the pillars, and said to the two: "You have done a good job. ”

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Since the old lady said that this matter is fully handed over to the grandfather and grandmother, the old slave must fully cooperate with the grandmother." ”

Although there are many estrangements between the old lady and Qin Zeng's ancestors and grandchildren, the old lady obviously believes in Qin Zeng's conduct very much.

If even the blood of the closest relatives cannot be trusted, then in this world, what is worth treating sincerely.

As for the princess and Gongsun Yi, although the old lady only showed anger, those who knew her could see the sadness in her.

Li Qingyi nodded, although Mrs. Cheng acted a little skillfully, she was extremely effective, otherwise the old lady would not have let her lead someone to Shouhui Yueju at the beginning.

Feng He also said: "I hope that the eldest grandmother can end this matter as soon as possible, the old lady is old, and this matter will hit her hard, and if it goes on like this, the slave is afraid that the old lady will fall ill." ”

Li Qingyi looked at Fenghe, and saw that she was tall, powdered, thin-eyebrowed, and slim, and felt that the name given by the old lady for her was really appropriate, "I should try my best to share the worries of the old lady." ”

Feng He solemnly saluted, "There is Grandma Lao." ”

*****

The night was dark, and Nan Zhu waited for Li Qingyi to come and deal with her in fear, but she couldn't see anyone when she waited, and finally she couldn't support it and fell asleep on the firewood.

Half-asleep, the long-unoiled wooden door of the firewood room creaked tooth-inducingly.

Nan Zhu opened her eyes and saw a beam of light floating over, and she was immediately startled and sleepy.

When I looked closely, I saw a man carrying a lantern leading the way in front, and behind him were several dark shadows.

Nan Candle's heart sank, and she heard the voice of the eldest grandmother say, "Light the lamp." ”

The firewood room was lit by lamps and candles, and Li Qingyi was followed by Changning and Changning, as well as two mothers-in-law who were five big and three thick.

The Lin family had investigated the people around Li Qingyi before, so Nan Zhu knew that Changning was originally Qin Zeng's subordinates, and these two mothers-in-law were Li Qingyi's companions.

Besides, at this time, the two mothers-in-law were still holding sticks with thick arms in their hands!

Nan Zhu swallowed her saliva with a grunt, "Grandma, the slave knows something, so she must tell the truth and beg the grandmother to be merciful!" ”

Li Qingyi's expression was not half moved when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be interested in her words at all.

Nan Zhu immediately became nervous, she knew that she had to be severely drugged as soon as she opened her mouth, otherwise the eldest grandmother would not give her time to speak again!

"The princess had a good relationship when she was in Kuduan! And not one, it's two! The second master is not the prince's child at all, she was conceived by the princess before she met the prince! She knew from the beginning that the old lady was going to find someone to give birth to the prince, and she had already planned to deceive the old lady and marry into the palace! ”

The cold autumn breeze blew in, agitating Li Qingyi's sleeves and skirts, making her look even more cold and indifferent.

Nan Zhu thought that she was talking about extremely important news, but Li Qingyi listened to her words and only said one word lightly: "Fight!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the two mothers-in-law behind her immediately picked up the sticks and landed heavily on Nan Zhu.

Nan Zhu screamed again and again, how could it be possible, could it be that the eldest grandmother already knew about these things? Or was it revealed by Zi Jiang?

"Grandma, I know something else, I know something else! Stop fighting, grandma, spare the slave! ”

However, the stick didn't mean to stop for half a minute, and fell on her mercilessly, stunning Nan Candle's whole body.

She was shocked in her heart, and blurted out: "The princess is not a girl from the Lin family!" She's not really a forest moon! Master Lin was killed by her! ”

"Make it up!" Li Qingyi didn't believe her words at all, and scolded angrily, "Can Master Lin even admit his own daughter?" ”

The two mothers-in-law did not spare their hands, how could Nan Zhu stand these sticks, desperately dodging, she climbed to Li Qingyi's feet, but was dragged back by her mother-in-law's legs, only to hear a click, Nan Zhu only felt an unbearable pain in her calf.

She couldn't stop wailing, the big grandmother really wanted to beat her to death! I didn't want to give her a chance to speak!

"It's true! What the slave said is true! She hurriedly said, "The scar on the princess's ankle is fake, and Master Lin recognized the wrong daughter by using this identification!" ”

The stick stopped.

Nan Zhu loosened his strength and lay on the ground.

Li Qingyi asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Nan Zhu didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "It's true, the slave maid will never dare to deceive the eldest grandmother, after Master Lin finds the princess, he wants to take her back to the Lin Mansion, at that time, there was no master mother in the long house, and the second wife in the house was in charge, she embezzled a lot of the eldest wife's dowry in private, so Lord Lin took back his daughter, and the second wife was afraid that she wanted her mother's dowry, and tried her best to question the identity of the princess. Master Lin said that his daughter had a scald scar on her ankle. ”

Li Qingyi's expression paused slightly when he heard this, "You go on." ”

Nan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Someone has long been ordered to lurk in the Lin family, and after hearing about the scar, he went back and told the princess, and the princess made a fake scar and pasted it on her ankle, just like a human skin mask." After being successfully taken back to the Lin Mansion, the slave maid was assigned by the master to serve by the princess's side. Because the scar is fake, the princess can't leave this scourge, so as not to be discovered one day, so she did everything possible to let Master Lin spend a lot of money for her to buy a good medicine to remove the scar, intending to 'cure' the scar to prevent future troubles, at that time the princess was alone in the Lin family, only the slave maid was by her side, and accidentally discovered this secret, the princess threatened the slave's family, and opened a tempting condition to accept the slave maid to serve her. ”

"Serve?" Li Qingyi looked at her solemnly, "She is alone in the Lin family, and it must be inconvenient to act, there should be many things for you to do." ”

Nan Zhu nodded, "The slave maid will deliver the news to the people outside the mansion for her." ”

"How?"

"The princess gave the slave a hairpin." Nan Zhu said, plucking an ordinary wooden hairpin from the messy bun, "This hairpin looks ordinary, but in fact it is hollow inside, the princess will roll up the written note and put it in, and then the slave maid will give it to the person who comes to connect when she goes out of the house to buy things." ”

Chang Yan took the inconspicuous hairpin from her hand and inspected it before handing it to Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi gently pulled out one-third of the wooden hairpin, and the hairpin, which looked like it was tightly fitted, really revealed a hollow part.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Nan Candle, "You're not a brainless person, you must have opened it secretly, right?" ”

Nan Zhu broke his leg, his face turned pale with pain at this time, and he insisted and said: "Yes, the slave maid has opened it, but the slave maid can't understand what is written in it at all." ”

"Oh? How can you not understand it? ”

"It's all counts like eleven, three, sixth, twenty-five, eighth, and so on, and the slave doesn't know what it means."

Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Eleventh thirteenth sixth, twenty-fifth eighth?" ”

Nan Zhu couldn't read it, but she could hear the doorway as soon as she heard it, because this was one of the common methods used by secret agents, and Dongchang sometimes used this method to deliver news. This method is very practical, even if the note falls into the hands of someone else, the other party does not know which book to look through in order to get a real answer.

"So, who is the person who connects with you every time? Is it the same person all the time? Is it one of the princess's two men? ”

As soon as Nan Zhu heard this, she knew that Li Qingyi really knew about the princess in Kuduan, her forehead was full of sweat, and she shook her head in severe pain, "It's the same person, but the other party has always covered himself tightly, and he never speaks, and the slave has no way to tell who this person is......"

Li Qingyi looked at her condescendingly, and said lightly: "Nan Candle, you have to know that every word you say now is changing your life!" ”

The night was dark, and no one knew what Nan Candle was going through in this firewood room, but Nan Candle herself knew that her life was in the hands of the eldest grandmother, "The slave understands!" Of course the slave and maid understand, but the slave and maid really don't know who it is......"

Li Qingyi took two steps forward and squatted down, his voice was cold, "You will think of it, you have to rack your brains to think about it, I will only give you half a day!" ”
