Chapter 14: A Glimpse of the Secret
Mama Chang's face suddenly turned from black to red, and she looked at Su Wanning helplessly to make amends: "Miss Su, this matter is indeed the fault of the old body, and she didn't take too much care of it, mainly for the sake of the prince's body." ”
Su Wanning sneered in her heart, don't think that she doesn't know the thoughts of the people in this dormitory.
If it was really for the prince's cousin's illness, no matter how he said it at this time, he could come up with a cure for the disease, and there should not be too many people in the palace to disturb the patient's mood.
If she wants to see it, the prince's illness needs a substitute for the dead, so that they dare to go back to the saint, otherwise they won't see the holy car come for such a long time.
"Mama's original intention, Wanning naturally understands. Since it has been discovered that the prince is sick and it is the people below who are not doing well, it is time to rectify it and pour dirty water on other innocent people. As for today's incident, I don't want to pursue it, but people's words are terrifying, and Mama Chang still gives me an explanation. Otherwise, I will be a girl who is not yet married, and my reputation will be ruined in the future, and it will be inappropriate for my family. "How could Su Wanning easily let go of Mama Chang, who was a fox and a fake tiger.
Besides, the tighter her threat, the heavier the punishment for Li Sulan's group, and the cleaner her tongue, she will not talk about today's events again.
"Rest assured, the old body will take care of the aftermath. Everyone in the house, if someone ruins Miss Su's reputation with this matter in the future, the old man will not let it go. Mama Chang gritted her teeth and lowered her head to admit her mistake to Su Wanning.
Su Wanning felt that this promise was fluttering, and she was not very satisfied, so she pretended to be distressed and rubbed her temples, and said: "I often hear that women from ordinary people are insulted, and they will jump into the river to prove their innocence." What's more, Wan Ning is the concubine of the Zhongbohou Mansion? I'm afraid that Mama hasn't found that person yet, so Wanning ......"
Lu Jiarong, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this moment: "Miss Su doesn't have to worry, the imperial doctor will keep silent in Xia and Fang." But there are many people in the dormitory, and Mama Chang may need to be more careful, if someone really spreads rumors at will, Mama Chang can directly drag the person who chews the root of the tongue out and scold him. In this way, it can also show that Mama attaches great importance to this matter, and the relationship between the Zhongbohou Mansion and the royal family will not be divided. ”
Su Wanning secretly said to herself, Lu Jiarong is really a powerful ally, and this is the second time to help her tonight.
She threw an appreciative look at Lu Jiarong with satisfaction.
Li Sulan, who was cold-eyed on the side, was even more angry when she saw the intimate eye contact between the two, but for the sake of the future, she hid the hatred in her eyes, walked straight to Mama Chang, and knelt on the ground.
"Mama, Su Lan is at fault. Please punish Mama. ”
Mama Chang was angry, and slapped Li Sulan's side of the face, it was this little hooves with many mouths, causing her to lose her face in front of so many people.
Li Sulan covered her red and swollen cheeks, without a trace of fear.
Because she had already planned, this was done to clear her suspicion, and secondly, to claim in advance the punishment that seems to be relatively light at present, so that she still has room to turn over.
In the end, Li Sulan also wanted to gamble to see if she could occupy a place in Lu Jiarong's heart, and whether he would help?
Of course, the ending disappointed her, Lu Jiarong stood on Su Wanning's right side without changing her face, and whispered to Su Wanning familiarly.
"Miss Su, if you see it, you will accept it, that is, you have cleared the charge, and it is not too late to leave the real culprit for later disposal. Later, the Holy Lord will arrive, and then the personnel will only be more complicated, and even if it has nothing to do with you, some bad words will be passed on, which will be harmful to your reputation. Lu Jiarong looked at Su Wanning and looked at Mama Chang oppressively, worried that she would be too impulsive.
Su Wanning knew the pros and cons, and now was the time to evacuate.
"What Lu Gongzi said is right, Mama Chang, do you think this is good?"
Of course, Mama Chang wanted to invite Su Wanning, the master, to leave before the matter became a big one, otherwise it would be troublesome to come with Her Majesty and Princess Qingyun later.
"Yes, yes, the old body has written it down."
"That's good, Mama Chang, Wanning won't bother anymore, it's better for you to treat the prince quickly." Su Wanning also took Lu Jiarong away from the prince's bedroom.
It wasn't until she walked far away that Su Wanning let go of the topic.
"Master Lu, I have your help again this time, thank you. Fang Wanning saw that you and Lady Li had a good conversation, but what fun did you have to listen to? ”
She pretended to say it easily, but in fact, she still had some mustard in her heart, because the two of them were both reading companions in front of the prince, and it was inevitable that there would be an intersection.
However, Su Wanning had a vague answer in her heart, but she didn't get a positive reply from the other party, so she still didn't understand.
"I only have a few encounters with Lady Li, and I won't say much on weekdays. Tonight she is more abnormal, I heard that her mother has been imprisoned recently, and she is looking for a way to ask someone to take care of her. Lu Jiarong was almost parallel to Su Wanning, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes did not change at all.
Li Sulan is indeed a person who has nothing to do with him, even if the other party intends to show affection, he has never answered.
Su Wanning could probably guess that Li Sulan was interested in Lu Jiarong, but the other party didn't take her to heart.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Su Wanning let go of a trace of concern in her heart, and did not deliberately care about the distance between walking with Lu Jiarong.
Occasionally, when she turned a corner, her shoulder would touch Lu Jiarong's arm.
Lu Jiarong didn't have time to dodge, but he didn't deliberately stay away, as if the relationship between the two was as simple as seeing each other a few times.
Su Wanning didn't care, the people who had children in the previous life, these simple touches were nothing, much cleaner than the deeds in the dark corners of the palace.
Thinking of this, Su Wanning's face appeared in Leng Yue's mind.
This palace maid still has a little kindness, and wants to remind her that something big will happen in the future, but she also pities her humble status and can only be a pawn of others.
"Master Lu, do you have any impression of Leng Yue, the palace maid?" Su Wanning still couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jiarong frowned when he heard the name, and his eyes slightly avoided Su Wanning's gaze, he should be weighing the wording.
"Lu Gongzi said that it doesn't matter, my mother is also from the royal family, and I also know a thing or two about the taboos in the palace." Seeing that the more cautious he spoke, the more curious Su Wanning became, and she almost grabbed Lu Jiarong's sleeve and didn't let him take another step.
"Miss Su, have you ever heard of the right food?" Lu Jiarong coughed lightly, he was really embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing with an unmarried girl.
"Nature." Su Wanning pays more attention to Leng Yue's background, is it possible that she has been coerced? "Leng Yue has a counterpart in the palace?"
"Yes. I heard that it was a young eunuch from the same township, who was loyal, but his luck was not good, he broke the concubine's beloved bracelet and was demoted to guard the imperial tomb. However, a few days ago, when I was organizing the prince's birthday banquet, I also saw a side face with the eunuch Jiu. Lu Jiarong said all this, and it was inconvenient for him to confide too much.
Su Wanning looked at Lu Jiarong fixedly, getting along with him, she was very comfortable without a sense of distance, but she faintly felt that the other party might have started to lay out early.
Or was it long before she found him?
After all, Lu Jiarong in the previous life could not have her help, and in the end he could squeeze out Qin Ruoxuan and become a powerful minister who covered the sky with one hand.
"Then it seems that Leng Yue is very likely to be at the mercy of others, and then take me into the trap?" Su Wanning has the heart to let Lu Jiarong enter the game, and she must let him talk about his thoughts, so that she can understand the other party's temperament.
"So far, it seems." Lu Jiarong raised his hand and pointed to the blue-roofed sedan chair passing in front of him, which was carried by the four eunuchs, which was very conspicuous. "That's Jiang Penghai, the favored chief eunuch beside His Majesty, his teeth are about to fall out, but a pair of eyes still don't let go of the palace maid who is a sign of appearance in the palace."
Su Wanning stared at it with novelty, but she didn't expect that the favored eunuchs in the palace were even bigger than some of the concubines' travel pomp.
"Mr. Jiang is a fat man with a fat head and big ears?"
Lu Jiarong shook his head when he heard Su Wan's cold question.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look, there is more than one person sitting in the sedan chair!" Su Wanning didn't say much, she really pulled Lu Jiarong's sleeve and quietly followed.
Lu Jiarong also cooperated to cover up his tall figure in the dark night, and what was not noticed was the slightly raised arc of the corners of his mouth.
The four eunuchs carrying the sedan chair were obviously more difficult on the left, but the eunuchs on the right were not much easier. There must be another mystery in the sedan chair. "Su Wanning had the experience of being a secret guard in her previous life, if she hadn't been blindfolded by Qin Ruoxuan with sweet words in her previous life, how could she have ended up miserable in the end.
Her detection skills are still excellent.
Lu Jiarong also nodded in agreement.
As soon as the sedan chair landed, Su Wanning pulled Lu Jiarong and hid in the nearest gardenia.
Unfortunately, the sedan chair happened to block the view of the two, and Jiang Penghai could only vaguely see Jiang Penghai helping a woman to walk into the house.
Su Wanning has always liked to do things from beginning to end, but she blamed the sedan chair for not stopping in a place, and didn't let her see it clearly.
Lu Jiarong saw Su Wanning's displeasure and proposed: "I know that there is a secret passage near here, which can lead to Manager Jiang's bedroom. ”
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips with some remorse.
After Su Wan listened, not only did she not become suspicious, but her eyes shone brightly, "You know, Lu Gongzi always has a way!" ”
Lu Jiarong was relieved to lead the way.
Su Wanning followed behind, the light in her eyes dissipated in an instant, and there was only endless scrutiny.
It turned out that Lu Jiarong had already had the idea of promotion, and he had to be careful in the future.
Let's hope he doesn't disappoint.
After Lu Jiarong's guidance all the way, Su Wanning finally saw the whole picture of the woman who entered with Manager Jiang.
It's actually Li Sulan, who has been hit by the 20th board! Her backer is still the favored eunuch by the emperor's side!
It's a shame that my mother had praised Lady Li for her good manners and demeanor before, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
"Lan'er, haven't you said this matter, don't interfere. Look, today's experience makes the old man's heart ache. Jiang Penghai had gray hair, a lot of brown spots on his face, and his wrinkled fingers caressed Li Sulan's shirt lovingly.
"Don't touch me!" Li Sulan was still a little high, but the next second she sighed in defeat: "At least before getting married, you and I don't want to behave beyond the norm." ”
"Okay, everything is up to Lan'er. You say, how do you want to punish Su Wanning's little slut in the future, her grandmother Qingyun's eldest princess was also raised by her husband, how difficult can her daughter be? ”
