The little girl was forced to ask by her, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth in a panic, and shook her head vigorously: "Niangniang, the slave maid has been distracted just now, and I haven't heard anything." ”

Zhao Kezhen naturally didn't believe it, so she suddenly pulled out a hairpin from her head and poked twice at the little girl's thigh. As soon as the little girl was in pain, she began to cry in shock.

"Don't cry!" Zhao Kezhen waved the hairpin, as if she would scratch the little girl's face at any time, she gritted her teeth and stared at the girl: "What you said just now, if you dare to say half a word, this concubine will kill you." Got it!?"

"Yes, the slave knows, the slave and the maid will never dare to say it!" the little girl was so frightened that she hid behind again and again. Zhao Kezhen struggled with hatred, and suddenly there was a tearing pain in her back.

Zhao Kezhen gritted her teeth: "What are you hiding? I can't eat you?

The little girl wiped her tears, answered, and re-threw a towel to scrub Zhao Kezhen. On the back, on the buttocks, there is no good piece of meat, it hurts wherever it hurts, Zhao Kezhen endured it with a whimper, thinking about what happened in the empty field of the firewood room just now. is really faceless, the concubine of the dignified Shangshu Mansion has a daughter, and she was tossed and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, calling her a cheap concubine.

But you can't blame yourself! Who told Wei Yuanxi that her heart was too vicious? She cut out Liu Yun's tongue and gouged out Chen Pozi's eyes! She wanted to make herself a human again, which was simply inhumane! Zhao Kezhen shuddered, she had never seen such a shocking thing so big.

In fact, it is not that such a thing happened in Shangshu Mansion, but the family loved her and favored Zhao Kezhen, and they all hid it from her. A scholar's daughter, looking at such a bloody thing, how can it be good if she is frightened?

Zhao Shangshu has always thought like this, so he occasionally disposes of a subordinate and secretly drags it to a remote courtyard to solve it, so that Zhao Kezhen's eyes have never been peaceful in the world, and she is the only one who can make waves.

You can't just swallow this bad breath. Revenge, she must take revenge! Zhao Kezhen punched on the bed angrily, turned her head, and looked at the little girl: "What's your name?"

"Slave autumn goose. The little girl replied without raising her head.

Autumn geese, good name. Zhao Kezhen hooked the corners of her lips: "When did you enter the mansion?"

"The slave and maid have only been in the house for a month, and the people in the slave and maid's family are starving to death, and there is no way out, so they sell themselves and enter the house to be a slave and maid, thinking that they can eat with their mouths. ”

Zhao Kezhen rubbed Qiu Yan's legs, she didn't do it lightly or heavily, touching Qiu Yan's sore spot, the little girl sighed and took a few breaths of cool air.

Zhao Kezhen smiled gently. Even Qiu Yan felt that this smile was quite hypocritical, but Zhao Kezhen didn't care, and said, "I'm sorry, Concubine Fang is angry and has wronged you." ”

The little girl shook her head aggrievedly: "It's good if the mother is not angry, the slave doesn't dare to be wronged." ”

"Don't be angry, you serve the concubine so carefully, how can the concubine be angry with you?" Zhao Kezhen suddenly held Qiu Yan's hand: "Girl, I see that you are a sensible girl, smarter than my Yan'er, do you want to get ahead?"

The little girl Qiu Yan looked at Zhao Kezhen timidly, she herself has become this virtue, how can she let others get ahead?

Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't speak, and looked at herself suspiciously, Zhao Kezhen felt quite faceless. Fu asked, "Why, you don't believe it?"

Qiu Yan shook her head and immediately nodded again. Zhao Kezhen was a little helpless, and asked again: "Do you think Mother Zhong is majestic, do you want to be like her?"

"Yes. Qiu Yan hesitated for a while and nodded firmly.

"If you do Concubine Ben a favor, Concubine Ben promises that in the future, you can be as majestic as Mother Zhong. I just don't know if you have the guts. Zhao Kezhen said, handed the hairpin in his hand to Qiu Yan, and clenched it tightly: "You only need to send this thing to Shangshu Mansion, and then tell Lord Shangshu about the current situation of this concubine, and Lord Shangshu will naturally reward you, one hundred taels of silver, you may not be able to earn it if you work in the mansion for ten years." ”

Qiu Yan swallowed her saliva, a hundred taels of silver, she had never seen a hundred taels when she was so big. She looked down at the hairpin in her hand, but her heart was hesitant. The crown princess is not a piece of paper, I heard that people are clever! If she finds out, can her little life be saved?

For a hundred taels of silver, it is really not worth putting your life into it. Who wants to do such a stupid thing if they have a life to make money and no life to spend it?

"This ......" Qiu Yan wanted to give the hairpin back to Zhao Kezhen, but Zhao Kezhen held her hand tightly.

One hundred taels of silver, it is worth fighting.

"Okay. Qiu Yan pinned the hairpin in her hair and covered it with a bun: "The slave and maid will go back when they go." ”

As soon as Qiu Yan's front feet stepped out of the gate of the side hall, he hit a ball of soft dried meat, and as soon as Qiu Yan raised his head, he was facing Zhong's mother.

"Qiu Yan, where are you going?" asked Mother Zhong.

"No, I didn't go anywhere, but Concubine Zhao was hungry and asked the slave maid to help get some porridge to drink. Qiu Yan buried her face low, not daring to look directly into Zhong's mother's eyes.

"Really?" Mother Zhong raised her hand and pulled the hairpin out of her hair. Mother Zhong was very heavy, and by the way, she ruffled a strand of Qiu Yan's hair.

"And what is this?" Zhong's mother shouted.

"The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should be damned, it was Concubine Zhao who asked the slave and maid to do it, and the slave and maid did not dare to disobey!" Qiu Yan hurriedly knelt at the feet of Mother Zhong.

This psychological quality is too poor, and Mother Zhong didn't ask anything, so she told her about it. Zhao Kezhen heard Qiu Yan confess herself, struggled to get up from the bed, and still didn't let go: "Cheap girl, you dare to frame this concubine! If you are asked to do something trivial, you will want to go east and west, and you dare to frame this concubine at this time." Mother Zhong, such a cheap maid must not be spared. ”

Mother Zhong presented the hairpin to Zhao Kezhen with both hands, and glanced down at Qiu Yan: "The little girl who has just entered the house for more than a month has done things out of line." Concubine Zhao don't mind, it's all slaves and maids who are not strict in discipline, so the slaves and maids will take her down and discipline her strictly. ”

Qiu Yan was dragged to the backyard, beaten by a board, and locked up with Yan'er.

Zhao Kezhen looked at Mother Zhong and gritted her teeth secretly, where is this to treat her injuries, it is clear that she is imprisoned in the mansion. Although the two meals a day are the standard of the side concubines, the entry and exit can only be in the side hall, and there are Zhong's mother's people to follow at any time.

Zhao Kezhen was thinking about it, and suddenly saw Yuan Xi carrying a tray into the room, Zhao Kezhen hurriedly lay down, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, who are you?"

"Give you a jar of poison. Yuan Xi replied gently.

Zhao Kezhen's face changed suddenly, and she smiled stiffly: "Niangniang, are you joking?"

"yes, just kidding. Yuan Xi looked at her indifferently: "You are the daughter of Zhao Shangshu's mansion, who dares to touch you?"

Zhao Kezhen hurriedly smiled again: "Niangniang, that's just a cheap concubine who doesn't know the sky and the earth is thick for a while, and she is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." You are the master mother of the Prince's Mansion, but Zhen is a side room, how dare Zhen be majestic in front of her mother?"

Yuan Xi snorted indifferently, she didn't believe these hypocritical nonsense at all. Yuan Xi opened the jar and wafted out a fresh fragrance: "This is what Mother Zhong bought from Doctor Zhang's pharmacy, and it can cure your injuries." ”

The corners of Zhao Kezhen's mouth twitched, when she was a child, even a sneeze was sent by the imperial doctor in the palace who treated the minister to check the pulse, and now that she is injured so badly, can she be fooled by applying some ointment?

"Get down. Yuan Xi commanded softly.

"What?" Zhao Kezhen was stunned.

"I told you to get down. ”

Zhao Kezhen flattened her mouth and bent down, and Yuan Xi lifted her clothes, revealing her snow-white back. It was really miserable, and Yuan Xi couldn't help frowning, and the wounds of different shades were lying horizontally on his back, looking like the result of a beast tearing. Yuan Xi picked out some ointment with a small brush, and brushed it on her back little by little, it was cold and cold, and it hurt faintly.

Zhao Kezhen snorted.

"Do you know why Concubine Ben is treating you?" asked Won-hee.

"It's the mother who is sympathetic to the concubine's serious injury. Zhao Kezhen didn't think about it, so she answered in a routine.

"Come on, you can't even fool me with this nonsense. Yuan Xi continued to brush the ointment: "You killed my and Rong Zhan's children, but you were jealous that I took the position of your concubine, and you framed me for fornicating with Liu Yun, and it was also because of this." Jealousy can sometimes be really scary, it can confuse people's minds and temperaments. ”

Zhao Kezhen licked her lips and did not speak.

"I know that no matter what I make you like, you won't obey me. Because you have hatred hidden in your heart, and it can't be resolved, it will only accumulate deeper and deeper. Although you have sweet words on your lips now, you have a murderous intention in your heart. You can't hide this from me. ”

"Then why don't you kill me with one sword?" Zhao Kezhen summoned up the courage to ask.

"If I could, I would love to break you to pieces, but I can't. If you die, Zhao Shangshu will definitely rebel against Rong Zhan, although we are not afraid, but we don't want to cause this trouble. Yuan Xi covered the lid and put it on the table: "As long as you are still in my hands, Zhao Shangshu will not dare to rebel, such a good hostage, why should I waste it?"

"So, you were afraid that I would run away, so you asked Mother Zhong to spy on me?"

Yuan Xi smiled but did not answer, and Zhao Kezhen turned his face away.

"Just now, I asked Aunt Wei from the Prince's Mansion to send a message over, she wants to see you. I saw that you were injured like this, and I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to see her, so I went back for you. ”

"Aunt Wei?" Zhao Kezhen raised her head sharply.

"Don't worry, I know you want to complain to her, I've arranged it, and Concubine Ben will go to see her for you. And your group of fox friends and dog friends, what Yelu Nuer, what Liu Guifei, I won't let go. Yuan Xi said and pinched Zhao Kezhen's neck: "Good sister, I will take good care of you." ”

Yuan Xi used a little bit of force in his hand, forcing Zhao Kezhen to cough non-stop. Zhao Kezhen tried her best to break Yuanxi's hand, but she couldn't break it, her face was flushed, and her breathing gradually became unsmooth. As soon as Yuan Xi let go, she lay down on the bed, gasping for breath.

"The queen mother has said, hand you over to the concubine to dispose of, Zhao Kezhen, you killed my child and ruined my hope and Rong Zhan's hope. I'll torture you slowly, don't worry, the days are still long. ”
