"Dang -- Dang -- Dang --"
the gongs of the third watch are ringing. In the silent night, the gongs are very penetrating, which makes the heartbeat of those servants kneeling in the hall shake with the sound of gongs.
The mother in charge of purchasing in the inner courtyard and several women in charge of the Little Buddha Hall were all brought.
"Prince!" Mother Tian, who was in charge of purchasing, carefully looked at the section of incense on the ground and cried, "I don't know anything about it. The candles, incense and paper money used in the Little Buddha Hall have been bought from the time-honored Lijia shop in the city for decades. Shizi, please go and ask the upper and lower levels of the mansion. No one knows it! " Give her a lot of courage, she also dare not in the incense candle! At most, she is just looking for Li's shop to get some oil and water.
For three weekdays, the woman who was in charge of guarding and cleaning the Little Buddha Hall even kowtowed and said, "Shizi, I don't know anything about it!" I learned from a cup of tea that there was something wrong with the incense in the Buddha Hall. Until now, the women still felt that they were dreaming. How could this be possible?!
One of the women in brown boldly said: "son of a generation, there are memorial tablets for the old prince, the old princess, the second master, and the first princess. The maids are conscientious every day and dare not leave for a moment."
The other two women also nodded their heads in sorrow. If there was a memorial tablet for the masters, it would not be enough for the king and the son of a generation to give them a hundred heads.
Although the work of the Little Buddha Hall was easy, they did not dare to be careless for a moment.
Xiao Yi sneered coldly, "that is to say, you don't know this fragrance has a problem?"
Mother Tian and the women were scared out of their wits for a long time. They argued loudly for themselves: "son of a generation, I really don't know."
Xiao Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense. His cold eyes fell on them and ordered, "in this case, what's the use of keeping you. Drag it down and die! "
Stick to death?! Mother Tian and her wife almost collapsed. They kowtowed and begged for mercy: "please forgive me! Please spare your life Their hearts were chilly and covered with despair. No one in the palace knew that shiziye had always said the same thing!
At Xiao Yi's command, a few thick women with big arms and round waist immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "offended"
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, an old and peaceful male voice suddenly uttered a voice, and everyone unconsciously followed the sound.
Lin Jingchen said in a deep voice, "Yi, I want to ask them some questions."
Mother Tian's eyes brightened. The only one in the palace who could persuade the prince was his concubine. However, she couldn't afford to be seriously ill. At this time, only Lord Lin could save them.
"Spare your life, old man!" They were begging Lin Jingchen for mercy again, thinking of the doctor's parents' heart. If old master Lin would help to persuade the son of the world, they would be saved!
Seeing this, Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at them impatiently.
Since this incense ring is poisonous, it is either a problem with the purchase, or it has been replaced secretly in the Little Buddha Hall. There are always two reasons for this. These craftsmen will not know nothing about this, but they are afraid of being punished and implicated and deliberately hide it.
He didn't want to waste time with a few servants.
If you want to say it, you don't want to say that the staff is dead.
However, old master Lin was willing to give them another chance. Xiao Yi did not stop him. He bowed respectfully and said, "grandfather, please do as you please."
Lin Jingchen turned to look at the women and asked, "who have been to the Little Buddha Hall in the last 20 days?"
The women looked at each other, and the word "staff death" seemed to linger in their ears. They all knew that if Shizi could not find out why, their lives would not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, the most daring lady in brown immediately replied: "back to the old master, in addition to the princess, she will go to the Buddhist temple every few days. On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, the imperial concubine, the third master, the second lady and the third lady, as well as several girls and childe also often go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. By the way, on the fifth day of this month, the prince received a good report from the prince I've been to... "
As the woman in Brown said, she thought to herself, "is it possible that old master Lin suspects that someone has quietly changed the incense while going to the Buddhist temple?
If you think about it, it's possible.
On weekdays, after the masters have finished the incense, they just take a cursory glance to see if anything has fallen or knocked over the incense candle As soon as I saw that there was nothing unusual in the Buddha Hall, they closed the door of the Buddha Hall.
Is it really the work of a master in the palace?
Several old women looked at each other and did not dare to think about it any more.
They are all shivering kneeling there, now, still considering so many why, can save their own life is the key.
As he stroked his beard, Lin Jingchen thought: yue'er should have been poisoned for more than half a month, but Zhennan Wang only went to the small Buddha Hall once at the fifth day of the third day. The time was not right, so he was definitely not Zhennan king.
As for othersLin Jingchen thought for a moment and then asked, "do you have a registered name and date?"
The women looked at each other again. They didn't take things from the storehouse, so how could they register and record them!
They tried their best to recall for a while, and a woman in green carefully said, "if you go back to the old master, although I have never recorded them, I still remember which days I have lived in the past half of the month. I only know a few words. It's better for me to dictate it. Which girl can write it down? "
Xiao Yi made a gesture to Baihui, and Baihui took the lady in green to the west room next door. The rest of the people were relieved and wiped the sweat on their forehead with their cuffs.
If you can escape this disaster, you should really go to the temple and pay good respects!
The next thing had nothing to do with mother Tian, so she was taken out for the time being, while the other two women knelt down and stood by.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, they see Baihui and the lady in green come out of the west room one after another. Baihui respectfully presents the list to Lin Jingchen, and Xiao Yi also comes to look at the list with Lin Jingchen.
After a quick glance at the list, Lin Jingchen asked, "on which day did you change the fragrance?"
"The first day of the month!" Green dress old woman son quickly answers a way, "at that time or maidservant and Hu old woman son change together."
Another woman in blue nodded in reply.
Lin Jingchen took up his pen, and used the strokes to delete several names, such as Xiao Che, Qiu's, Xin's, and so on. Those who went to the Buddhist temple before the first day of this month and after the fifth day of this month were first excluded. The rest were the names of the second young master Xiao Luan and several girls' families.
Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen scan the list, and their eyes fall on Xiao Ni's name. Others have only visited the Buddhist temple once in the past half a month, but Xiao Ni has gone twice
Xiao Yi squints a little, and stinky girl has almost nothing to say about him. Even when he is not in Luoyue City, Nangong Yue will tell him about the trivial matters in his letter. In the impression, Xiao Ni has not been hostile to stinky girl. She even mentioned that it is not easy for Xiao Ni to be a girl's home, and she intends to take it with him to teach her well Can it be her?
Lin Jingchen stroked her beard and asked, "I think Miss Xiao San often goes to the Buddhist temple. Does she usually do the same?"
Several old ladies were stunned and thought: do you think that old master Lin suspects it is the third girl?
"Return to the old master," the lady in green replied respectfully, "the three girls are filial. On weekdays, she often goes to the Buddhist hall to offer incense to the old lord and the second master, at least two or three times a month."
"Yes." The woman in brown nodded, echoing, "the three girls are filial and kind to the maids. Last time, Miss sang Rou gave some snacks to the maids." Among the girls in the palace, Xiao Fei is high and does not care for people. Xiao Rongying is pretty and pretty. Xiao Ni has a good disposition and is very kind to the people below.
Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "did the three girls share your snacks? What kind of snack does she use
The lady in green did not have time to think about it. She said intuitively, "the food box."
What did the other two women think of? They looked ugly. Do you mean
Xiao Yi's voice was cold again. A flash of sharp light flashed in his eyes: "does she bring a food box every time she goes to the Buddhist temple? What about the others? Do other people carry baskets or food boxes If the poisoner took the opportunity of going to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, he would not have gone to the Buddhist temple empty handed.
The three women looked at each other again, whispered to each other, followed the woman in brown and said, "back to Shizi, every time the three girls go to the Buddhist temple, they will bring some offerings. In addition to the three girls, that is, the princess, the eldest girl, and the second lady sometimes bring a basket, a food box and so on
When it comes to jingshizi, is that jingshizi?
The women swallowing and salivating, the heart immediately lifted up, drooping eyes kneeling there.
Xiao Ni! Xiao Yi's face is as heavy as water. His smelly girl is good-natured. He treats the whole palace as family members. Unexpectedly, he raised a white eyed Wolf for nothing!
"Somebody..."
He was about to send someone to bring Xiao Ni. A servant girl in blue and blue shoes trotted towards the main room. After crossing the threshold, she came forward and said, "prince, the old master, the second lady and the third girl have come to see him. Now the three girls are kneeling outside the yard..."
The expression of the servant girl is a little subtle. The second lady brings the third girl to Bixiao hall at this time. Moreover, the third girl kneels down at the entrance of the courtyard, which makes people think more.
The little servant girl was not sure, but the three women kneeling in the hall were like mirrors. They were really three girls!
Xiao Yi's face was very ugly, gloomy and cold, and once again his whole body released a fierce murderous spirit.
For a moment, the maids in the hall did not dare to breathe.
The son of heaven's anger, floating corpse million, bleeding thousands of miles. With the style of their sons on the battlefield, it's not much worse!Xiao Yi said slowly, "let her in!" His face was as cold as frost, and every word was as cold as ice dregs.
The little servant girl who came to report the news was frightened just by hearing it. After answering, she went out in a hurry.
However, several women in the hall were dragged down. They were in charge of the small Buddha Hall, but they didn't even know how much the incense was. Even if they were more careful, they could not find out.
It's not too much to let Xiao Yi die with a stick, but Lin Jingchen, in the name of nangongyue's accumulation of happiness, stopped him. He only dragged him down to fight fifty boards and quit his job. Of course, a few women only agreed. Although they had to be beaten, they were very dangerous and had to recover their lives. They were only lucky in their hearts.
After a while, the little servant girl came with Qiu and Xiao Ni. Both the mother and daughter looked very ugly, especially Xiao Ni. The whole person looked like a remnant flower swaying in the wind and rain and was about to wither
Xiao Ni's manner and expression are all an answer.
Baihui's heart sank down, and shizifei appreciated the three girls, saying that she was gentle and strong. How could she have done such a vicious thing?!
In this strange, heavy and delicate atmosphere, Qiu's mother and daughter walked into the hall side by side. Xiao Ni didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi. She knelt down on the cold and hard ground with a thump.
Qiu's family stood aside and met Xiao Yi's cold eyes.
Speaking of it, Qiu's first visit to Bixiao hall and his first visit to nangongyue's courtyard is in such a situation.
Since the death of master Xiao Er, the Qiu family has always been cautious in his words and deeds in the palace. He only hopes to raise a couple of children. In the future, he will have an account for him. Her children have been sensible since childhood, and she has been very comforting, but she did not want her daughter to have such a disaster!
"My father in law, my son-in-law." Qiu's blessing and body salutation, and then astringent voice, "Ni sister has something to say..."
Up to now, Qiu still feels like a dream. Just now, under her own pressure, her daughter told the truth about the girl Gu
The more Qiu heard, the more frightened he was. Later, the whole person seemed to be immersed in ice water!
The daughter clearly fell into the trap of the other party, each step of the other party was carefully planned, so that the daughter was like drinking poison to quench thirst
Qiu's heart is full of confusion. She loves her daughter, but she also knows that the other side is not good. Her daughter seems to be addicted to the medicine of Miss Gu. I'm afraid that the demand will be stronger and stronger in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable What's more, if the son of a son wants to investigate such a wrong thing, I'm afraid he can't hide it.
Thinking about it, Qiu's throat was filled with bitterness. After all, he was negligent and ignored his daughter's abnormal situation in this period of time. He also blamed himself for his mother's failure to discipline his daughter and let her daughter know nothing about the privacy in the back house, which reduced him to the present situation.
It's useless to escape. They always have to give an account to the prince and his concubine!
So Qiu brought Xiao Ni here.
Even if this is not a good pass, her mother, always with her daughter through!
I only hope that the son of the world will leave a way for his daughter and the second room for their confession.
Qiu looked down at Xiao Ni, who was kneeling on the ground. He met her helpless eyes and nodded to her.
Xiao Ni seemed to get strength from it. She summoned up her courage to look at Xiao Yi and said, "I'm sorry, elder brother. I replaced the huanxiang in the Buddha Hall..."
Her voice became more and more subdued, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "it was a girl Gu who forced me to do this."
The first time I met Miss Gu in Huanxi pavilion was that the other party approached her with ulterior motives. However, on the eve of new year's Eve, I was so stupid as to take the medicine given by strangers As a result, I went wrong step by step. Later, I got stuck in the mire. The more I struggled, the deeper I got
To commit such a great mistake.
Xiao Yi stares at Xiao Ni fiercely. The look in his eyes is like a lone wolf staring at his prey. It seems that he will bite him at any time. The ferocity of his eyes is frightening.
Miss Gu?! Baihui raised her eyebrows in surprise and thought of a man.
After getting Xiao Yi's permission, Baihui asks, "isn't that girl Gu from Huanxi pavilion?"
Xiao Ni nodded gently.
Baihui tells Xiao Yi what happened in Huanxi Pavilion. She only knows that Miss Gu "saved" Xiao Ni who suffered from asthma attack. However, Baihui doesn't know how Gu got in touch with Xiao Ni and how to let Xiao Ni do such a thing.
Xiao Yi looks at Xiao Ni again. Although he wants to kill her, he still has many questions to ask her.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and reluctantly calmed down. He asked, "Xiao Ni, did that girl Gu give you this fragrance?"
He directly named Xiao Ni by name, obviously no longer regarded Xiao Ni as his sister.
Xiao Ni bit her white lower lip and nodded After Miss Gu gave me huanxiang, she told me to put it in the Little Buddha Hall She vowed that the incense would not endanger the life of her sister-in-law. That's why I... "She also knew that her speech was so weak, but she really had no other choice. When her "illness" broke out, life was not like death. She wanted to cut her own body one knife after another
At that moment, all she had in her mind was medicine!
She tried to make it through time and again, but proved her weakness again and again. For the sake of "medicine", she was like an insect stuck on a spider web, struggling to death, but she was just stuck more and more tightly
Think of the "disease" when the hard, Xiao Ni's face even more ugly, heartbeat "bang bang" to leak a pat.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Ni lowered her head and murmured, "I'm sorry Brother, I regret it. I really regret it. So I went to the Buddha Hall on the seventh day of the seventh day of the first day. I wanted to change huanxiang back, but I didn't expect the third aunt just arrived... " She was afraid that Mrs. Xiao would find out the clue and didn't dare to replace huanxiang. After that, she wanted to go to the Buddhist temple again, but she was afraid that she would go too often and make people suspicious. She wanted to go again in a few days, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law would be ill in a few days
It's all her fault!
Xiao Ni's body trembled violently for a moment. She felt a cold feeling rising from her heart
Her pale lips trembled slightly, but no one noticed her strange appearance, only thought that she was because of fear, because of fear
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then asked in a cold voice, "Xiao Ni, where is that girl Gu?"
Xiao Ni shook her head and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know. Every time, it's Miss Gu who comes to me on her own initiative..."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and his eyes were colder. He said, "in this case, you can lead people out for me!"
His tone was imperative and did not give Xiao Ni a hint of doubt.
Xiao Ni's body trembled more violently. Although she was afraid in her heart, she immediately responded.
Qiu Shi, who was beside her, was worried and held her handkerchief tightly. She didn't know where she came from. Since she dared to fight against the imperial concubine, she might have her accomplices on the side. It must be extremely dangerous for her daughter to act as a bait. But now, only by using this method can the daughter atone for her merits and make the son of heaven calm down
At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly looked in the direction of the curtain. The next moment, he saw a sound of picking up the curtain. Then a green figure came out of the inner room and walked towards Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen.
"Grandfather, Yi, yue'er is awake!" Han Qixia's small face bloomed with joy, and her voice was flying.
Xiao Yi's eyes were wide open. He could not care about the people in the room any more. He left quickly and rushed into the inner room with the curtain. Lin Jingchen followed him into the inner room.
Is sister-in-law OK?! Xiao Ni's heart became loose, as if she had lost her support. Her whole body collapsed and collapsed. Her breath became rapid and heavy. Her forehead was sweating and her body was curled up like shrimps
"Three girls!" Sang Rou cried out, her face as white as paper.
