Chapter 33: The Death of Little Plum
I don't know how long it took, but I saw a maid with a little girl come to the main hall of the East Palace, the little girl was obviously frightened, and her legs were trembling.
"Why don't you leave, why don't you leave quickly, do you still want your mother to wait for you?"
The leading maid sister said angrily.
Originally, the little girl was timid, but when she said this, she was scared and stopped directly.
The maid sister looked at her like this, and became even more angry, you must know that if you go late, Donggong Niangniang will be angry, and it is not something they can bear.
"Don't hurry up, what's the ink here!" The maid's sister came over directly and pulled the little girl away, and it seemed that the little girl was in a lot of pain.
But the guard sister didn't seem to want to let go. Continue to pull the little girl on the ground and pull it forward.
The little girl was already in a lot of pain because she was afraid to look at it, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Sister Xiaohui, if she is allowed to see her mother like this, then she will inevitably be angry. You see......"
The maid's sister knew what the little guard said later years ago. I just want to help this little girl, please.
"Oh well! For your mother's sake, spare your life. Don't be so ignorant. ”
Sister Xiaohui finally let go of the hand that grabbed the little girl. The little girl's legs were already bone-in-class, and they were covered in blood.
The little guard who pleaded just now hurriedly ran over and helped her up.
"Are you alright? Sister Xiaohui, she just has a bad temper, don't worry. The little guard held her and said. Does it hurt, do you want me to find some medicine for you? ”
I think it's because it's very distressing to look at that little girl, and her injured legs.
The little girl finally couldn't hold back at this time and began to cry. Tears fell like a torrential rain.
Sister Xiaohui walked in front for a long time, and saw that no one behind her followed. She turned her head to look over.
I saw the little guard squatting on the ground. Comforting the little girl.
Sister Xiaohui walked back unhurriedly.
"Yo, what's the matter, you're still distressed?"
The cynicism in Sister Xiaohui's words was so obvious that the little girl's face was a little red.
The little girl said with tears in her voice. "I'm fine, I can."
Then she forced herself to stand up with her hands on the wall.
The little guard helped him on.
"What's your name?"
The little guard whispered in a low voice.
"My name is Ling'er."
"What's your name? I will repay you later. ”
The guard smiled as well, scratching the back of his head embarrassedly and said.
"Just call me Little Gongzi, but they all call me a puppy. I used to be angry, but now I'm fearless. ”
When Ling'er heard him say this, she laughed instead, as if the pain on her body didn't hurt anymore.
"Look at the horn, look at the horn, you're trying to make fun of me too."
Xiao Gongzi deliberately pretended to be angry and said.
"No, I'm just joking, don't pay too much attention to you, just now, I'm sorry."
Ling'er looked at Xiao Gongzi like this and hurriedly apologized.
Xiao Gongzi suddenly smiled, which scared Xiao Ling'er.
Sister Xiaohui walked in front and listened to them laughing and playing in the back, and her anger was endured.
"Have you two had enough? Will you still make trouble when you go to Donggong Niangniang later? ”
They listened to him laugh and play, and then limped along one by one.
This road to the main hall of the East Palace Niangniang is long, long. Ling'er was injured on her leg, and her blood kept flowing, and when she was about to arrive at the main hall, Ling'er's face was already pale.
Finally, they walked to the main hall of the East Palace Niangniang, and the East Palace Niangniang was sitting in front of the hall drinking afternoon tea. There is no longer that terrifying expression just now.
When Sister Xiaohui saw Donggong Niangniang like this, her heart also settled down. He shouldn't be blamed. It took so long to bring people to.
"The mother-in-law brought it." After Sister Xiaohui finished speaking, she stood by the door of the temple.
Donggong Niangniang unhurriedly put the teacup in her hand on the shore and looked up at the little woman in Her Highness.
"You're Xiao Lizi's sister?"
Ling'er looked at the high East Palace Niangniang, and she was a little cowardly.
"Yes, yes."
"It looks pretty good, look up, let me take a good look."
Donggong Niangniang stood up from the throne on the point and walked down step by step.
Ling'er's heartbeat, with the footsteps of Donggong Niangniang walking down. Little by little, it sped up.
Ling'er slowly raised her head.
"It's really a beautiful embryo, not all fandel is so spiritually vivid. It's a lord who makes boys swoon. ”
Donggong Niangniang looked at Ling Ersheng and praised her.
Xiao Gongzi hurriedly signaled, Ling'er was like a lady in the East Palace.
"More than a mother's praise."
Ling'er knelt on the ground and gave a sober salute, looking very well-behaved and deferential.
"This palace wants you to do things for this palace, what do you think?"
Donggong Niangniang looked at her in a circle where Ling'er was kneeling.
Ling'er felt very sudden, because she knew that her brother was also working in the palace. How could you call her to the palace alone?
"Niangniang, my brother is in the palace, can you let our brother and sister meet?"
Ling'er is really a witty person.
Donggong Niangniang didn't expect that this little girl in front of her would be so smart.
He was caught off guard by the question. But he didn't have more time to think, so he could only speak vaguely.
"Your brother was killed. And the person who killed your brother is the most favored little prince now. ”
Sure enough, it was Donggong Niangniang, and the seeds of hatred had been planted in Ling'er's little heart.
It's just that Ling'er is not stupid, his brother is just a little guard, how could he be killed by the little prince?
"But my brother is just a little guard, how can he offend the little prince?"
Ling'er knelt on the ground and cried, and said vaguely.
Donggong Niangniang is still thinking about how to fulfill this lie at this time?
It happened that a palace maid came from outside the hall, and he walked straight to the mother, stood on tiptoe and whispered something in the ear of the east girl's house.
Donggong Niangniang listened to the music.
He looked at Ling'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Why don't you believe it?" ”
Ling'er didn't speak, but her eyes were full of questions.
Donggong Niangniang knew that if she didn't let her hear it with her own ears, she might not be able to use it wholeheartedly.
The maid who ran in just now and whispered in the ear of the East Palace Niangniang.
It was the spy sent by Donggong Niangniang to Gao Gong's public side, and he came to report to Niangniang. Grandpa Gao has returned from the temple and is looking for Xiao Lizi everywhere.
When Donggong Niangniang heard this, this is God helping her, isn't this just enough to fulfill his lie?
Donggong Niangniang looked at Ling'er who was kneeling on the ground and smiled slightly.
"Ling'er might as well go to the back garden with the palace. Let you know your brother's whereabouts. ”
After all, Ling'er is still young at this age, and she doesn't understand the sinister hearts of people. It's easy to fall into the trap.
"Xie Niangniang."
At this time, Ling'er also thanked Donggong Niangniang in her heart for giving him a chance to meet his brother.
Since his brother entered the palace, their brother and sister had not seen each other again. His brother kept saying that he wanted to avoid seeing each other. This will keep her safe.
Before he died, Xiao Lizi entrusted his sister to Donggong Niangniang. If he has a knowledge of the East Palace, Niangniang will use her sister as a pawn. I'm afraid he won't be blind when he dies.
He might also hate himself for giving himself two slaps in the face. should not entrust his sister to the East Palace Niangniang.
In this way, Donggong Niangniang led Ling'er, who was not deeply involved in the world, and walked on the path in the back garden.
Not far away, Gonggong Gao led a group of people towards the father-in-law's office.
Looking at Grandpa Gao's appearance, he was very urgent, there should be something important to deal with.
Donggong Niangniang was separated from her father-in-law by a tall bush of grass, and suddenly a little father-in-law ran out.
With a plop, he knelt in front of Gao Gonggong.
Grandpa Gao was taken aback.
"Who are you? What's going on? ”
"Father-in-law Gao, go and see Father-in-law Li. Father-in-law Li committed suicide. ”
When Gonggong Gao heard this, he was stunned.
He's only been out for half a day, how can something so important happen? Father-in-law Gao knows Xiao Lizi well, and he will not commit suicide for no reason.
It was not only Gonggong Gao who was surprised, but also Ling'er behind the grass. If I were the maid next to Donggong Niangniang and pressed her arm to cover her mouth and nose, maybe he would rush out on the spot.
"It's true, it's true."
The little father-in-law said eagerly.
"Did Xiao Lizi leave any letters? There must have been some source for his suicide. How can it be for no reason? ”
When Grandpa Gao heard what this little father-in-law said, he obviously didn't believe it, and once again expressed his doubts.
"Father-in-law Gao is true, Father-in-law Li only left a letter, which said. He was ordered by the royal family to punish the little prince, causing the little prince to suffer from a serious illness, and he was afraid that the fourth princess would retaliate, so he apologized with death. ”
Father-in-law Gao, hearing these words, was even more scared. If others know the cause of Xiao Lizi's death, it will definitely be harmful to the little prince and the fourth princess.
On the other hand, Xiao Lizi did what he did according to the royal decree.
Father-in-law Gao is really in a dilemma now, on the one hand, he is watching his brother and sister grow up, and on the other hand, he is an apprentice who is trained by himself. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and I don't know how to choose.
Gao Gonggong gritted his teeth and said: "Block the news of Xiao Lizi's death, just say that he fell into the well and died." See if he still has any relatives, and give some more silver taels. ”
These words were deeply engraved in Ling'er's heart.
Grandpa Gao never thought that Xiao Lizi's sister was behind this bush.
Donggong Niangniang turned her head to look at Ling'er's reaction.
Ling'er had already gritted her teeth, her eyes were bloodshot, and tears were flowing.
Donggong Niangniang smiled knowingly, because she knew that her purpose had been achieved.
Buying someone with money is the most stupid way, and the only way to do it is to let him have the same hatred as you. You are only tired of being a small boat.
Donggong Niangniang did it, and Ling'er is now full of hatred in her heart.
He only knew that it was the little prince who killed his brother, and he would never have thought that the one who really killed his brother was the benevolent Donggong Niangniang standing in front of him.
