Chapter 3: Crossing
Raising her eyes and looking at Zi Ning, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, Aunt Li's Danfeng eyes were full of ruthlessness, and she said: "Don't worry, the county lord is not in the mansion now, and my aunt in charge will make the decision for you, how can I let the county lord suffer such grievances and allow these lowly subordinates to be bullied." ”
The phoenix eyes glared at Zi Ning, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a fierce look. Thinking that she was the concubine of the king of Huajun, the king of Huajun married the holy royal sister as his wife, and she should have been promoted to a concubine, but the lady was the "eldest princess of the country" crowned by the emperor and the queen mother, and her status in the palace was unmatched. In order to show his sincerity to his wife, the king of Huajun sent all the concubines and concubines in the palace, if it wasn't for Ligu giving birth to a daughter, she would have been rationed to the slaves now.
If you can't be a concubine, you can only be wronged and be the aunt in charge of the palace, how can you be compared with the eldest princess? The servants are all dog-eyed and low-looking, and they are condescending to the eldest princess, lest they not be able to make a stutter. But for her, Ligu, everyone is indifferent, and she is only dispensable. She has endured all these years, although she has many unwillingness, but she is helpless, she has the intention to climb up, but she does not have the slightest position of power. The affairs of the family are all in the hands of the eldest princess, where is there a place where Ligu can exert her power.
If it weren't for such a thing today, the eldest princess and King Huajun had not yet returned to the house, how could it be her turn to come out and play a prestige!
Yan Mama said with a sinister look: "Aunt Li, let's give her a cup of poisonous wine, and stop it, so as to offset her mistakes! If the prince and the eldest princess come back and see that they have committed such a big sin, they will not spare her." Ligu came back to her senses, raised her hand and touched her bun, and nodded slightly: "Go!"
Immediately, Mama Yan turned around and went to the inner hall, came out with a colored pottery bowl in her hand for a while, walked directly to Zi Ning's side, pouted and said: "This poisonous wine is also extremely expensive, but it is cheaper for you girl." ”
Zi Ning was in a hurry, and couldn't help coughing, her face was flushed, but she couldn't say a word. Anxiously thought: "I was wronged, I don't want to die, I don't want to drink any poisonous wine." Without the slightest evidence, they just disregard human life at will, and no one comes out to stop it?"
King Huajun and the eldest princess went to the palace, but what if they came back at this moment, could they save their lives? On one side are the daughter of their county lord, and on the other hand, there are lowly cooks and little maids, and they don't want to know which is more important.
"Drink it, girl, so that you will not suffer much more. Mama Yan's tone was calm, as if she was thinking about Zi Ning, but her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Ligu got up slowly, walked in front of her, raised her hand to cover her nose slightly, and said in a soft voice: "After you drink it, you will apologize for your sins with death, and you will calm the grievances and grievances of the little county lord." In this way, it is also good to give an explanation to the prince and the eldest princess. ”
After speaking, he turned around and glanced at the unconscious Chef Lin, "Mama Yan, let's do it quickly, I will end up with this girl first, and then I will ask the cook the same guilt." ”
Mama Yan smiled proudly, "The slave obeys the order!"
The little county lord's eyes flashed, and he said: "Aunt Li, do you just poison her to death, Tong'er just wants to find out the real culprit, and she doesn't want to kill this cook." Or wait for her father and mother to come back, and make a decision after a careful and thorough investigation...... "Although she hates that someone harms her, where did a little cook have the courage to murder the county lord, maybe there is something else to hide." didn't find out the real murderer, so she poisoned the slave and maid at once, which was not the result she wanted.
Besides, after all, it was two lives, she had just passed the age of Jilu, and she had never seen a bloody scene of brutal killing before, so she only felt scared in her heart. Seeing that Zi Ning was not much older than her, but she was covered in blood, her face was pale, and it was terrible to fall to the ground, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ligu and said, "County Lord, you don't know these things when you're young, this cheap maid has been interrogated for a long time, and her skin and flesh are all broken, and she has never been recruited." I think even if the prince and the eldest princess come back, she will not be able to recruit, so why let the prince and the eldest princess worry too much. Such a scumbag with evil intentions, if you stay for a moment longer, you will have more harm, and you should get rid of it early to be at ease. ”
She deliberately tried to kill an undignified maid in front of all the servants and the majesty of her aunt in charge, which was no different from stepping on an ant to death, what was the big deal.
The slaves and maids standing around the hall were silent. Most of the slaves and maids are errand servants under Ligu, and some are serving the king of Huajun and the lord of the small county, so they are naturally loyal to the palace. Someone dared to murder the life of the little county lord, and everyone hated to peel his skin and drink his blood, and they all stared at Lin Chuniang and Zi Ning viciously. I thought to myself, poisoning these two would really be cheap for them.
"But......" The little lord was about to speak, but the maid beside her whispered a few words in her ear, and finally she held back her silence, swallowed what she was about to say, and writhed twice on the low couch on the floor, her face full of worry. For a long time, a pair of eyes stared at Zi Ning's body, turning up and down, left and right, faintly revealing a trace of pity and forbearance.
Zi Ning felt like her head had been dropped, and there was a roar. At this moment, she realized a serious fact, she must have crossed over, this is simply inexplicable! If this is the case, she was beaten all over her body with scars, and she had to drink poisoned wine and die with a whimper, this trip to cross is too unjust!
Thinking about it, since I have crossed over, maybe the original me has already died, and now I drink poison again, so is the next step to be reincarnated, or to travel again?
Oh my God, it's such a mess in my head!
In front of him were indifferent faces, and no one came out to stop this sudden execution. Zi Ning's heart twitched tightly and loosely, the heavens and the earth shook and rotated, her brain hurt terribly, and she almost fainted. I wanted to find a way to escape, but I didn't have the slightest clue.
She was unwilling to die, and roared in her heart: "No, this must be a dream, it is a dream!" But this, what kind of dream is this! So real, so terrible!
couldn't stand the roar of his head, and with the last glimmer of hope, Zi Ning banged his head hard, wanting to wake up from the dream quickly. Yan Mama, who was beside her, saw her movements and thought that she was going to resist, so she glanced at another old woman, stepped forward and grabbed her arm tightly, making her unable to move. He ordered two big girls in pink to come over, one pinching her chin, and the other almost trying to pour poison into her mouth.
Even at the last moment, Zi Ning was lucky, thinking that it was just an illusory scene, but when the maid pinched her chin and forcibly poured medicine into it, she felt incomparably painful, and a strong grief rose in her heart.
Zi Ning turned her head vigorously and shouted, "No! I don't want to die!" hurriedly avoiding the pottery bowl sent to her mouth, enduring the pain all over her body, trying to find a possibility for herself to live. She chose to struggle, struggled to resist, and the colored pottery bowl brushed past her mouth again and again.
The edges of the cold clay bowl were rough, and a colorful glaze glowed in front of her eyes, and her nose smelled a strong smell of liquor mixed with medicinal gases. She wanted to smash the pottery bowl headlong and let all the poisonous wine spill on the ground, using all her might, but she couldn't do it.
After struggling a few times, Mama Yan ran out of patience, and beckoned two maids next to her to come over: "You guys pressed this stinky girl for me, you have to pour her in today." ”
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the arms can't beat the thighs after all!
Zi Ning has always understood this truth, not to mention that she was already covered in injuries at this time, and with two more people holding her head, she had no possibility of resisting, and there was no way to retreat, so her mood became calm.
"Mama Yan, what are your intentions in wanting me to die so desperately?" Zi Ning asked with her hair scattered and with the last of her strength.
Hearing this, Mama Yan's face was shocked, and a pair of slender eyes looked at the calm and resolute Zi Ning, but her face became hideous, and she lowered her voice, and said gloomily: "What if you have intentions? No matter what, you have no chance, you must die!"
As soon as the words fell, the poisonous wine came to his mouth. Zi Ning's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, and two tears rolled down. Since there is nothing else to do, just go to death calmly, what else can you do!
Between the lightning and flint, a folding fan flew head-on, hitting the back of Mama Yan's hand, and the pottery bowl fell to the ground with a "pop", cracking into several halves, and the poison was sprinkled on the ground. Mama Yan, who was still majestic just now, had lost three souls and seven spirits at this moment, sat on the ground, and wailed loudly: "My hand, my hand is broken, my hand is broken..."
The maids who held Zi Ning down were also frightened and let go, Zi Ning's body lost its support, and she fell to the ground again.
The brocade curtain in front of the door was half-rolled up, facing the pink and white flawless apricot blossoms outside, and the flowers seemed to be thrilling. Zi Ning saw a white figure in a trance, standing straight between the apricot blossoms, with an elegant look of ice jade, but his face was blurry, and it was vaguely an excellent smiling face.
A voice said: "The master of the palace of Su Wenhua County is kind-hearted, and he is even more lenient and kind to his subordinates, and he is not good at punishment. When I saw it today, it wasn't like a rumor! Lord, did your mansion treat your subordinates like this?"
The paper fan fell in front of Zi Ning's eyes, and she stared deeply at it, and it was an ink dot dyeing picture with half a fan unfolded. Then he tried his best to raise his head, but he couldn't see the face of the person who came, only heard a voice as low as a cello, with a hint of magnetism slowly coming into his ears, no joy or sorrow, gentle and gentle, but enough to shock people's hearts.
The paper fan carries the fragrance of flowers and trees, like apricot blossoms falling silently, and even the pendant on the handle of the fan is clear and shiny jade. The jade-colored soft light flickered into Zi Ning's eyes, warm and reassuring, making her want to sleep quietly for a moment, and fell into this spring of apricot blossoms.
Reaching out and grasping the handle of the fan tightly, the fingertips touched a warm temperature, this is a lifesaver! At least she thinks so.
There was a rush of messy footsteps, and countless figures flickered brightly and darkly, and they all walked into the hall.
Zi Ning took a deep breath, things finally took a turn for the better, maybe she didn't have to drink that poisonous wine. Relaxed, a smile appeared on her face, but accidentally touched the wound on her body, and the severe pain made her eyes dizzy and fainted on the spot.
"Stop it all for the palace, without the permission of the palace, no one is allowed to touch a single hair of her!" The eldest princess whistled sharply, and her footsteps came like a wind.
A large group of people followed, all with serious faces, as if they were facing a great enemy. ————
