Half an hour later, Pinellia was taken to the Xihong Hall of Bixiaotang, and Luo Pozi could only wait outside anxiously.
For this Xihong Hall, Pinellia is both familiar and unfamiliar. When she was a maidservant in Wangfu, the king of Zhennan is still the prince of the world, and the first concubine Dafang is the prince of the world. The couple lived in Bixiaotang .
Banxia used to be the maidservant in Bixiaotang. For her, this place is just like her home. At that time, she was ambitious, thinking about being a great maid beside the first princess in the future. What happened...
Banxia lowered her eyebrows and lifted her skirt to cross the threshold, but it was only a few feet away. For her, it was like a world.
"See Princess Shizi."
Banxia Putong knelt in the hall with a bang, and at the moment of kneeling, he couldn't help raising his eyes and looked at Princess Shizi quickly.
Shi Zifei was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her dark hair pulled a simple compile. She wore a rose-red ten-piece flower makeup garnet, reflecting her skin like snow and radiant.
She was sitting gracefully on a rosewood wood Taishi chair. It seemed slim and weak as if the wind would break it. The small slap on the face, the pair of shining eyes seemed to be able to catch people at a glance. Seen through, it makes people almost dare not look directly...
"Sister-in-law, slave-servant injustice, slave-servant has never stolen Princess Xian's jewelry!"
Pinellia sternly bowed her head, holding her chest, lowering her head in a cringing look. Under the backlight, a dark shadow formed on her face, making her expression unclear.
I finally found someone.Nangong Yue did not rush to question Pinellia, but just looked at her quietly.
Looking at the other party's description and dressing, you know that Pinellia has been doing well with the current main house over the years. Since she returned to Luoyue City for two years, why didn't she visit her mother openly?Why should she ask her mother to sneakily look at her, so obscure and obscure?
If she had no ghosts in her heart, why??
Thinking, there was a cold flash in Nangong Yue's eyes.
Nangong Yue felt that something was wrong when she accidentally met Luo Pozi in Jinxiu Square that day to buy brightly colored materials.She has read the information of Luo Pozi on the roster. Luo Pozi died in her early life without any relatives, and she has only a single daughter, Pinellia. So who is the bright material Luo Pozi intends to buy?
Nangong Yue now suspected that perhaps Pinellia had gone back and forth to Luoyue City.
So, at her command, Master Qiaoer Xing asked the people of Li Sanshui's family, Le Ma's mother and others to ask questions and deliberately made the matter big, all the way to Luo's ears. Otherwise, Luo's wife took the initiative They found Pinellia!
Nangong Yue's eyes were half drooping, and she took a sip of tea slowly along the edge of the cup. After putting down the tea cup, this gave Queer a wink.
Queer nodded knowingly, cleared his throat, and said: "Banxia girl, since you haven't stolen the princess's jewelry, how could you be severely punished and thrown out of the palace?" Queer didn't wait for the other party to reply. He rushed and said, "Could it be that, as rumored in the Wang Mansion, you dared to seduce the Lord?
Seduce the lord?!Pinellia was dumbfounded, and finally knew what awesome words were, and hurriedly said: "The slave-servant never seduce... seduce the prince! The concubine, the slave-servant is wronged."
Queer snorted suspiciously, and counted all the rumors heard from the old man in Wangfu. He heard Banxia jaw-dropping, and repeatedly denied it.
Queer suddenly smiled and said lightly but sharply: "So Pinellia, what was the reason you were sold out of the house?"
Although he had been prepared for a long time, Pinellia was still trembling, and he was as rigid as a stone carving in an instant.
She still lowered her head and hurriedly replied: "Slave... The slave-servant made a mistake.... The slave-servant accidentally fell off the goddess Guanyin enshrined by the first princess..." She tried to calm down and said to herself in her heart, even if it was a prince. The concubine found the old man in the court of the first concubine, and only got the answer.
Regardless of whether the concubine believed it or not, after all, he was not a slave-servant of the royal palace now, as long as he clenched his teeth, not to mention life and death, even the concubine could not treat herself like that!
Queer could not see Pinellia's thoughts, and a sarcastic arc was drawn in the corner of his mouth.
The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. Nineteen years after the incident, the concubine of the world tried to find a slave-servant who had been sold for many years. Doesn't Banxia Mo think that a lightly perfunctory perfunctory could kill them?
Queer looked at Nangongyue inquiringly, and asked deliberately: "Concubine Shizi, it seems that Pinellia is not willing to tell the truth."
"The slave-maid said the truth!" Ban Xia raised her head excitedly, her eyes not knowing when they would turn red. She pretended to be strong, but she couldn't hide the strength of the heart.
Nangong Yue did not want to benefit from Pinellia’s tongue, as the old saying goes: “It is a matter of eating a king and a matter of loyalty to the king.” As a slave-servant of the royal palace, Pinxia does not understand the simplest truth.In the face of troubles and disasters, I thought about keeping my mind safe. How could there be such a good thing in this world!
"Bai Hui, you go to Yu Mansion." Nangong Yue gave Bai Hui a command, and Bai Hui immediately ordered to leave.
Yu House is the current home of Banxia. When Banxia heard it, her face was white, and she vaguely guessed what the Princess of the World wanted to do...
Even if the main family reuses itself again, I am afraid that they will not violate the Zhennan Royal Palace for their own sake...
The time passed by Pinellia's uneasy speculation, her face became more and more ugly, but she had the last glimmer of hope, maybe, maybe...
Nangong Yue picked up a book and looked at it leisurely, as if Pinellia did not exist at all.The thrush on the side carefully served Nangong Yue's tea, and nobody in the hall took care of Pinellia.
For Pinellia, it was even more uncomfortable than when it was interrogated by Queer.
She was almost uncomfortable and felt that time was so hard...
I don't know how long after that, Bai Hui came back, and there was a small red lacquered wooden box in his hand.
Pinellia stared at the wooden box, his pupil shrank.She recognizes this box, this is the box where Mrs. Yu is released!
My own guess is good, the princess of the world really... really gave me...
Thinking, Banxia's body shook twice, shaky.
Bai Hui walked beside Pinxia without squinting. After saluting Nangong Yue, she opened the wooden box in her hand and gave her a look. Then the box was sent to Pinxia.
This is his own contract of sale. The cinnabar handprint on it is still bright red and bloody after so many years.
A thin water vapor floated in front of Banxia's eyes.
Shi Zifei said nothing, but the threat was obvious.
There is only one deed in this box, no her husband, no children...
If she continues to die, the princes often resort to means to deal with themselves, to separate their husbands and wives, and to separate their flesh and blood. This is only the first step.
From now on, her own deeds are in the hands of the concubine, and her mother's deeds are also in the palace. The mother raised herself hard since she was a child. Do you really have the patience to affect her...
I am not alone without reason, alone.
Despair appeared in Ban Xia's eyes, and his pale face was even paler, almost white.
At that time, she tried her best to spare 20 boards before she saved her life...Nineteen years later, when she thought that past could pass away in the time, she didn't expect to escape.After all, it is an old saying: Blessing is not a curse, but a curse cannot escape!
In a flash, the last line of defense in her heart collapsed...
I don't know when Banxia had burst into tears. She bowed her head respectfully and choked: "The Princess of the World, the slave-servant said. She also hoped that the Princess of the World would not want to anger the mother-in-law of the slave-servant. She didn't know anything... "Ban Xia didn't dare to tell Luo Zizi, nor did she dare to tell anyone, she had intended to rot this secret in her stomach all her life.
"Say it." Nangong Yue gave the words in a heavy face, unmoved.
Pinellia set her mind and tried hard to recall what happened then, and everything seemed to be fresh in her memory.
Maybe it's because she never dared to forget...
"It's almost nineteen years... The slave-servant remembers that day was the eighth of November. After lunch, the slave-servant suddenly found that one of his earrings was missing, so he searched for it, and after passing Bixiaotang, In the garden, I saw the mother-in-law's mother-in-law, Mother-in-law, poured a jar of medicine dregs under a broad magnolia in the corner. At that time, the slave-maid didn't care, but waited for the slave-maid to pass the broad magnolia the next morning. , I found that the leaves of the tree had fallen by more than half..."
Pinellia's pale lips twitched, and after a pause, she continued: "After another two days, the slave-servant heard that the first princess, who had always been very good-natured, suddenly felt cramps in her abdomen, but soon she was safe again... At that time, the slave-maid couldn't help but think about whether the medicine residues that Mammoth Lu dumped out had problems..."
"Banxia girl, since you feel suspicious, why not take this matter to the master in the palace?" Bai Hui's tone did not fluctuate.
Ban Xia shrank, and only felt that the eyes of these young ladies in the hall showed a hint of coldness and disdain... Why she didn't understand the truth, but she was light-hearted!
Banxia took a deep breath and said again: "Sister Concubine, Grandma Lu is the first person beside the first princess. She grew up with the first princess's milk. The slave is just a third-class maid in the yard. Teeth, even if the slave-maid said, who would believe it!" It's hard to be bitten by Grandma Lu, not only her, but even her family.
Besides, if everything is as she guessed, then there must be someone instructed behind Grandma Lu. This can instruct the identity of the person who moved her. It is even more terrifying that the person they want to start with is the first princess Dafangshi, In this southern Xinjiang, in this royal palace, who dares to have such courage...
Today, Pinellia still dare not think about it.
No matter who the person behind the scene is, if she finds out that she accidentally saw it and wants to kill her as a little girl, it can't be easier.
Pinellia made a deliberate mistake simply, and this mistake must be made not too big or not, so she accidentally shattered the sender Guanyin, and was "exactly" seen by Grandma Lu, the next development As she expected... Later, when Pinxia learned of the death of the first princess, she was more fortunate that she had made the right choice, otherwise, her own destiny would have disappeared long ago!
Everyone in the room was not stupid, and how did they not know the selfishness of Pinellia, Queer scorned his lips contemptuously, and said in a pinch: "Why do you quibble, to speak, it's just greed and fear of death!"
Pinellia's complexion was pale and white, her lips trembling and speechless.She is afraid of death, but who is not afraid of death!
"As the slave-servant of the first princess, you should bear the worries of the king. You know that Ma's behavior is suspicious, but you let it go, and you know that the death of the first princess is suspicious, but you hide it and report it, which is equivalent to an accomplice." Queer's tone was strong, "Which master dare to ask for slaves like you?"
Several maidservants in the hall looked at Pinellia with a contemptuous look. Even if Pinxia was able to speak eloquently, he couldn't say a word for a while.
"Prince Princess!" Ban Xia shouted heavily and shouted several times, "Slave slave knows the wrong, just ask the princess Princess not to anger the slave's family... No matter how the princess Princess Punishes the slave girl, the slave girl has no regrets!" She Prostrately humbled on the ground, not daring to move.
Nangong Yue looked at Pinellia coldly.
Banxia may be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, but for the main family, she is not a "good" slave-servant.
This matter is indeed complicated, and indeed it is not what her little maid can solve, but when the old prince was still alive, even if the Zhennan prince was not reliable, she could go to the old prince and let the old prince decide.
But she didn't do anything... she just wanted to avoid the distance and keep herself safe.
If she said something earlier, the first princess would not have left so early, leaving Xiao Yi alone and lonely...
"Come here, take them down first." Nangong Yue said lightly.
She certainly has to deal with Pinellia, but not now.
She still has to hold Pinellia, and after looking for Grandma Lu, let the two confront each other!
Banxia was quickly brought down, and the hall was quiet again, with a dignified atmosphere.
Nangong Yue's face sank like water, picked up the tea cup, and put it down again.
Today, the matter of the first princess has finally made a little progress. What Banxia said just now made Nangong Yue more alert. No matter who is behind the incident, he must be cautious. …
"Father of the world," Queer observed Nangong Yue's expression and said carefully, "Ma'am, Lulu... The slave-servant mentioned it when registering the roster."
Seeing Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and motioned to continue, Queer then said: "Shortly after the death of the first princess, Grandma Lu asked the old princess to leave the house and returned to her hometown. The old princess agreed..."
A bit of fierceness flashed through Nangong's eyes, and asked, "Magpies, please check where is Mother Lu's hometown, and then... Bai Hui, you let Zhu Xing send someone to take Mother Lu!"
"Yes, Princess Shizi." Queer gave a serious look and retreated.
Quietly in the hall, it seemed so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard. It was only when a maid came to say that the King of the South of the South asked the Princess of the World to pass by, which broke the silence.
Nangong Yue slightly jawed, got up and stroked her skirt, and walked out.
The King of Zhennan was still seen in the study room. After seeing the ceremony, he listened to King Zhennan kindly and asked, "Sister Concubine, the year is approaching. Recently, there have been many trivial things in the royal palace. Can you be busy?"
Nangong Yue smiled on the lips and said respectfully: "Father Wang is bothered, and his daughter-in-law is busy."
Zhennan Wang nodded comfortably and said, "This King knows that you have always been capable. However, the New Year is full and complicated, and you are also the first year to do something for the Wangfuzhong. This King is thinking about letting your aunt to help you. Second, what do you think?"
Nangong Yue stood there with a low eyebrow, and with her knowledge of the King of Zhennan, he was afraid that he could not have thought of such a "mindiness". Reminiscent of Mrs. Qiao who had just come to "visit" Xiao Fang a few days ago. It is not difficult to speculate who proposed it.
Nangong Yue guessed right, indeed Mrs. Qiao proposed to King Zhennan.King Zhennan thought it was reasonable, even though the concubine Shizi was capable, but he had never managed this royal palace, especially in the New Year, he had to sacrifice his ancestors. The concubine Shizi is a newlywed wife. If the rules were wrong, what would happen? It’s not good.Therefore, Zhennan Wang thought about it and simply called her over.
"The father is kind and the daughter-in-law is very grateful. It's just..." Nangong Yue said with some embarrassment. "Our Wangfu's New Year, Qiao's house is also about to celebrate the New Year. I'm afraid my aunt is too busy. My daughter-in-law heard that Cousin Lan I don’t feel well and often need the care of my aunt. How can my daughter-in-law bother her."
The King of Zhennan frowned, but it was still okay to say that Qiao Ruolan was crazy now, and she was taking everything with the older sister, she couldn’t control herself in Qiao’s house, but if she said something crazy in Wang’s house like last time The language is not good.An Yihou will be back sooner or later.
"Father King." Nangong Yue continued obediently, "Sister-in-law intends to let Sister Fei and Sister Ni help, if there is something difficult to decide, and you have the father-in-law, you can also mention a little daughter-in-law."
Also, there is still oneself. What's the matter, Princess Shizi just asks herself!Ok!It's better to let the elder sister stay in Qiao's house for a good life, and take care of what happened to Qiao Ruolanbe.Thinking about this, the King of Zhennan said, "You will work harder for that princess..."
Nangong Yue bowed her knees.
At this moment, the door knocked, and the king of Zhennan reported with his inward presence, "Your lord, there is a good news, a great victory in the calendar!"
The King of Zhennan and Nangong Yue suddenly looked happy. The King of Zhennan even forgot that Nangong Yue was still here, and could not wait to order: "Let people come in!"
A young teenager in military uniform stepped into the study room, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists: "Yang Wangye, Shiziye led the South Xinjiang Army to retake the Dengli City on December 17! Killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops." , He presented the victory report in his hand.
"Good, good, good!"
After reading the newsletter in a row and a row, the King of Zhennan did not stand up from the resort. After three sounds, the boulder in his heart finally fell: Deng Licheng was finally recaptured. If the father re-enters his dream, he will not As for being speechless.Xiao Yi's rebellious son finally looks like a generation!
Nangong Yue's lips couldn't hide the smile, Dengli City had won it, this was the last city occupied by Nanliang.
The battle with Nanliang will rest.After this battle, neither Nanliang nor Baiyue would pose a threat to southern Xinjiang any more, and Ai did not have to fight outside.
Great!
After coming out of the Zhennan King's study, Nangong Yue smiled and commanded the two entourages who accompanied him: "Today's great joy, pass on my life, and the whole house will reward one month's money."
The thrush said flatly: "The slave-servant thanked the concubine for everyone."
Nangong Yue was in a good mood and said, "Go to the small Buddha Hall first. I'm going to burn incense to my grandfather, grandmother, and concubine." She is going to tell them this good news, and ask them to bless Ayi in the spirit of heaven!
Bai Hui and Thrush responded, and accompanied Nangong Yue to the Buddha Hall.
The small Buddha Hall in the mouth of Nangong Palace is in the southeast corner of the backyard of the royal palace, which houses the old prince, the old princess and the first princess.After returning to Nanjiang, she would come to the Buddhist temple for incense every fifteenth day and the Chinese New Year.
The daughter-in-law who kept the Buddha's head bowed her waist and opened the door.
The tranquility and solemnity in the Buddhist hall is filled with a faint smell of cigarettes, which wraps around the tip of the nose, making people unable to calm down.
Nangong Yue burned incense as usual, kowtowed, and then folded her hands together, murmuring Xiao Yi's things to Dafang's card...
The maids were all waiting outside the Buddha's hall, daring not to make a little sound, and all around quietly.
A moment later, Nangong Yue opened her eyes, stood up with a smile, and left the small Buddhist hall.
With a "squeak", the door of the Buddhist hall was closed again, and the cigarette in that room was behind him...
Nangong Yue walked along the blue stone plate path and said, "Let's go and see the broad magnolia that Banxia said."
