Chapter 45: Because You're Different
After removing the threads for Ziluo and settling the lemons, Nanxing took Mu Cui on the way back to Rong Mansion.
"Miss, shall we still go to the slave market? This hour should not be closed yet, "Mu Cui looked at the sky, the sun's rays weakened to the west, and it was almost past the time of Shen.
"No, I won't. This girl is tired, let's go home first. β
"Yes."
In the small kitchen on the first floor of the Star Picking Pavilion, Jinli was busy making venison.
The piece that my mother left for the young lady was a fine venison leg meat, which was very fresh.
While tasting the soup in the pot, she thought that if the young lady could eat two pieces a day, her body would slowly recover.
"What is this for? It's so fragrant," Mama Li's voice came from behind her.
"I'm making some venison for Miss." Jinli looked back and put down the spoon with a smile, "Miss is not well, my mother said that eating some venison can nourish your vitality." β
Mama Li looked at the thick soup in the pot, rolled her eyes, and smiled very kindly, "Miss Jinli is really attentive to Miss. The old slave also heard Sister-in-law Wu say yesterday that the old lady wants to improve the young lady's food! Let the big kitchen be equipped with more bird's nests, Ejiao or something to send to the Xingxing Pavilion. β
"That's great." Jinli shouted happily, "Miss's body can be slowly healed."
Seeing that Jinli was still standing by the stove, Mama Li looked back at the corridor and asked aloud, "Miss hasn't come back all day, I don't know where I went?" The old slave saw Miss Mucui and Miss Ziluo hurriedly leaving the house, I don't know if something happened to the young lady? β
"Miss is fine," Jinli didn't look at her, squatted down and looked at the fire, "It's Miss Mucui who has something to do with her." Don't worry. When the venison is almost ready, it is time for the young lady to return. β
As he was talking, Jin Song came in from the gate, "Jin Li, is Miss Xing back?" The old man and the young master have something to look for her. β
"Miss hasn't come back yet," Jinli replied casually and looked at the door.
Seeing his brother Jin Song standing in the courtyard, he got up in some surprise and asked, "Brother?" What are you doing here. Aren't you usually in the Songfeng Building? β
"The young master sent me here." Jin Song looked at Mama Li, stepped forward and said with a smile, "If Miss Xing comes back, be sure to tell her to go to Songfeng Tower!" No matter how late it is, the young master will wait for her. β
"Brother, is something wrong? The young master has never been like this," Jinli listened to his words, a little worried.
Young Master Feng has always been cautious and low-key, and his brother Jin Song never leaves Songfeng Building easily. Even if his father and mother wanted to see him, they had to go to the door of Songfeng Building to find him. At this time, it must be an important matter for the young master to send him to find the young lady!
"What are you doing when your daughter's family asks about so many things? It is my duty to serve the lady well. Jin Song glared at her and continued, "You have to pay attention to Miss's affairs. What you eat and what you use on weekdays must be carefully checked. If something happens to her, see how your father and mother clean you up! β
"Got it, brother."
Jinli pursed her lips, turned around and muttered unhappily, "Like my father, I have nothing else to say except for letting me serve Miss well." β
Mama Li listened to the conversation between the brother and sister, her eyes rolled, "What will happen in Songfeng Building?" I'm in such a hurry to find a young lady, it seems that I have to go to the kitchen and tell Sister-in-law Wu. βγ
I remembered what Sister-in-law Wu said to her yesterday, if you don't do it again, beware of your son's life!
She was all over, with a smile on her face, "Jinli, it's rare for you to see your brother, go and talk to him, this old slave of the furnace will watch for you." β
Jin Li just wanted to agree.
I heard Mu Cui's voice at the door, "What is this for?" So fragrant? β
Immediately, Nanxing and Mu Cui appeared in the courtyard.
Jin Song saw it and hurriedly saluted, "Miss Xing, the little Jin Song is a person from Songfeng Building." Young master, please have time to go over, and the master is also here. β
"What's the matter? In a hurry? Nanxing was a little tired, "If you're not in a hurry, this girl will go later."
"This," Jin Song looked at her, stepped forward and whispered back, "The young master said that it was about the young lady, it is very important!" β
Nanxing was stunned, didn't he make things clear yesterday? Could there be something else hidden?
She thought for a moment, "Well, then you can go back first." This girl will go in an hour. β
"Well, Jinsong retires,"
Jin Li watched her brother leave the Star Picking Pavilion, and said with a smile, "Miss, the slave maid has made venison to make up for your body." β
"I said, why is it so fragrant? It turned out that there was meat to eat," Mu Cui ran to the stove in two steps, looking at the venison in the pot, her eyes lit up.
Nanxing smiled, ignored them, and walked to the corridor with his feet raised.
"Mu Cui, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while, call me in an hour!"
"Okay, got it."
Today she was a little tired.
At noon, there was a fight and detoxified Ye Ziyuan in King Ning's mansion. In the afternoon, he rescued the lemon from the spring and hall and placed it in the hospital. As soon as she returned home, Rong Nanfeng was still looking for her to have something.
Nanxing lay on the bed and fiddled with the 'Purple Fruit Ginseng' in his hand, and sighed in his heart.
Since returning to Zhaocheng, there has not been a day of leisure.
At present, several clues have made progress, but we can't give up.
I secretly sorted out the clues in my mind.
The murderer with a mole on his brow and the 'two blacks' of the Golden Eagle Guard are both in the dark realm, and they already have the help of Lord Yuan Gang, so they can go and investigate.
The cockroach pattern on the hilt of the sword, I don't know what happened to Qin Zheng's investigation? Ask him another day.
Ye Ziyuan's Seven Mysteries had already found out two of them, and with this 'Purple Fruit Ginseng', he could temporarily alleviate his pain.
The Nebula Medical Hall is also about to be renovated, and when the master comes, the 'Nebula Divine Doctor' will be able to appear.
Ziluo and Changgui still have to be returned to Brother Tianshen. Mu Cui and Mu Bi are also people from Ning Wangfu, and they can only be used for a while, not often. It seems that you have to have your own people, brocade is good, and lemon should also be counted as one.
Thinking, thinking, she fell asleep with her arms around the 'purple fruit ginseng'.
An hour later, it was already dark.
When Jinli went upstairs to wake up Nanxing, Mu Bi was standing on the second-floor platform and looking down at the Rong Mansion.
"Jinli, do you know what that place is?" Seeing Jinli coming, Mu Bi pointed in the direction of Xihe Pavilion.
"It's the abode of the lord and the lady! What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I'll just ask," Mu Bi stopped talking.
Jinli looked at her suspiciously and walked to the boudoir.
When Nanxing changed into a pink skirt and walked to Songfeng Building, Mu Bi, who was following behind him, said softly, "Miss, my subordinates found out that there is a secret room in Xihe Pavilion?" β
"Secret room?" Nanxing paused, "How did you find out?" β
The subordinates saw Mrs. Rong walking towards the inner room with a candle. The light of the fire faded and finally vanished. After waiting for a while, the candle flame appeared again in the inner room. Mu Bi's voice was very small, "So, the subordinates are suspicious,"
"Looks like they still have something to hide from me."
Nanxing's eyes tightened, "When it's over, let's go to Xihe Pavilion." β
"Good!"
In the Songfeng Building, Rong Nanfeng stood by the window and looked at the path downstairs.
"Daddy, why hasn't Xing'er come yet? I'm in a bit of a hurry. β
Master Rong lowered his head and fiddled with the lid of the tea bowl in his hand, "Don't worry. When she arrives, let's talk to her slowly. Your mother has taken this token out of the secret room, and she must see it! β
"Mother confirmed Xing'er's identity. But we can't tell her about this identity. Last night, we also told her the ins and outs of the matter. Rong Nanfeng looked back at Master Rong, "Why did you remember this token again?" β
"I'm sure you've heard about today's chaos. The Holy God asked me to assist Dali in investigating the case. Master Rong put down the lid of the tea bowl in his hand and looked at him.
"What cases are you looking for there? Speaking of this, Rong Nanfeng thought of something, and his eyes tightened, "Dad, do you suspect that this is Li Chenghai's ghost?" β
Master Rong nodded, "During this period of time, I asked Rong Fu to investigate. Ever since Xing'er returned home, he has been keeping an eye on us. Even your grandmother took Xing'er to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he knew it! I think that he proposed to marry Xing'er and King Ning because he wanted to use the eldest princess to get rid of Xing'er. But the eldest princess, "
"So, he thought of Dalisi's case?" Rong Nanfeng's face changed, "That Yuxin,"
After explaining to Xing'er. I'll discuss with your mother and let you marry Yuxin as soon as possible! In this way, the Ann people can, "
As he was talking, Jin Song replied, "Master, young master, Miss Xing is here!" β
"Please come up alone!"
"Yes, sir!"
When Nanxing entered the room alone, Master Rong was sitting on a chair and waving to her.
"Xing'er, come, sit opposite Dad. Daddy has something to say to you."
Nanxing looked at him, then at Rong Nanfeng who was standing by the window, and sat down.
"This was taken out by your mother from the secret room in the Xihe Pavilion. I want you to meet," Master Rong took out a token from his arms and went straight to the point.
"The Chamber of Secrets? Is there a secret room in Xihe Pavilion? Nanxing heard him mention the secret room, so he naturally asked.
"Yes, there are some of our family assets left there. If one day, we anger Shengyan and be imprisoned. These funds can be left to the living. Of course, there is also a secret passage that leads to the outside of the city."
"Wait a minute!"
Nanxing looked at him inexplicably, "Are you about to come into a catastrophe?" How do you make it look like an aftermath? β
"Little sister, don't ask so much."
Rong Nanfeng picked up the token and stuffed it into her hand, "This token is very important. It is the token of the commander of the Changxing Army, the same General Shen who saved his father as I said yesterday! When something happened to the Changxing army, General Shen knew that there was a traitor in the army, so he asked his cronies to return to Zhaocheng with the token overnight and hand it over to Princess Yuling for safekeeping. But the princess, "
"There is also danger around the princess!"
Master Rong got up, stood by the window and looked at the stars in the sky, and said slowly, "The princess knows that this token is very important. If it is snatched away by a traitor, then the Changxing Army will be convicted of the rebels, and there is no possibility of overturning the case. Pity 80,000 loyal souls buried in their bones, and their reputation is discredited! So, when the princess is dying, give us this token for safekeeping! β
"That traitor's name is Shen Ju. After the destruction of the Changxing army, he learned that the token was in the hands of Princess Yuling, so he did everything possible to coerce and lure. The princess is not in good health, in order to keep the token and keep Miss Tianxing. She refused to be healed, and soon after arranging her death, she drove west. β
Nanxing looked down at the token in his hand.
remembered what Master Rong and Mrs. Rong said when she and Ziluo visited Xihe Pavilion at night. At the time, I thought they were making excuses. Unexpectedly, there is such a tragic story behind this token!
She frowned, "You told me about this, did you want me to keep this thing?" β
"Exactly, this thing is extraordinary! If one day we are in a catastrophe, you can just take this token and escape from the secret passage of Xihe Pavilion. Leave us aloneγMe and your grandmother, my mother has already agreedγ will escort you away,"
"Why? Do you want to give it to me? β
"Because you're different."
Master Rong smiled reluctantly, "You have suffered a lot, and we owe you too much!" I want to protect your life! If it is given to Yun'er, the General's Mansion will be implicated! Feng'er is engaged to Miss Yuxin in An Shaoqing's mansion, and Anfu is also unreliable! So it's just you, you grew up in Danxia Mountain since you were a child, and you are not familiar with the things in Zhaocheng. He has a bad temperament, loves to mess around, and does things recklessly. No one would have thought that we would hand over the token to you. β
"Wait!" Before Master Rong could finish speaking, Nanxing frowned, stood up with an ugly face, and interrupted him.
"No, you must have something to hide from me? Say! What the hell is going on? β
"Nothing, just tell you about our family!"
Rong Nanfeng touched his nose a little unnaturally, "Yun Mei and I know these things, and you are the only one left." After all, the situation in the court is changing, maybe the saint will not be happy that day, so you have to understand the most important thing in the family! I also know our family's arrangements and plans. β
"Yes, we've been like that all these years. It's just that you don't know in Danxia Mountain. Master Rong turned around and looked at her, "There are many variables in officialdom, we must always have a way back!" This token and you are importantγ"
Nanxing looked at them suspiciously, and then looked at the token in his hand, and always felt that there was something hidden in their words?
