082 Who drives the carriage?

The most indispensable thing in the palace is the maid of honor.

Which of every maid of honor who can survive safely for ten years is not full of blood and tears?

Serving is the nobles, but in the eyes of those nobles, the eunuchs are not as good as dogs and pigs, a little careless, and there is no place to stay for the last time. No matter how careful you are, you will be framed.

The most indispensable thing in the palace is intrigue.

In order to get the favor of your majesty, the concubines tried their best. In order to climb high branches, the eunuchs of the palace can keep you safe. If you don't step on people, you can only be stepped into the quagmire and never turn over.

Lin Yarong was less than 14 years old when she entered the palace. A little girl had no money and no power. Life in this cannibal palace was extremely difficult. Because she would not honor the eunuchs, Lin Yarong was sent to Changchun. The palace is a maid on the ground.

Changchun. The name of the palace is Chunguang Yongchang. In fact, it is just a cold palace, which is full of wrong concubines and women from the previous dynasty. Changchun. There is a depressing and frightening atmosphere in the palace all year round. Even if there is not much noise, there are always tragedies every day. Either someone goes crazy or hangs himself.

And Changchun. The eunuchs of the palace have been staying for a long time, and their hearts have long been numb. It's not that I don't want to sympathize, but this cheap feeling is in this lonely Changchun. What's the use of the palace? Gradually, even the last trace of sympathy disappeared.

At that time, Lin Yarong was sent to wait in the courtyard of the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty. The concubine favored the six palaces in those years, but the emperor returned to heaven, and no matter how much scenery there was, it was only a small courtyard for the rest of her life. She would never leave the palace, even worse than the nuns.

From her to Changchun. On the first day of the palace, Lin Yarong heard your concubine crying in the room every night. She cried in the back. She was blind and went crazy. Finally, she swallowed gold and died. It was only about 40 days, but for Lin Yarong, who served the concubine, it seemed that more than 40 years had passed.

She still remembered the death of her concubine. Her eyes were full of blood, her pink face was full of purple and cyan, her eyes were wide, and she looked at the sky empty, as if she were complaining about something. For a long time after that, Lin Yarong always dreamed of the death of his concubine.

After the death of your concubine, Changchun. The eunuch in charge of the palace carried the man out with a thin coffin.

At that time, Lin Yarong knew that it would not take too long for anyone to remember the beautiful concubine.

After the first seven days after your concubine's death, Lin Yarong secretly went to worship at night. At that time, she met Qiu Guan.

Qiu Guan is not a eunuch. He is just a opera singer in the pear palace, but Qiu Guan's beautiful voice is good. Whether it is dressed as a flower and green clothes or a young student, he is very good-looking. When the Empress Dowager heard the play, she must listen to Qiu Guan sing on the main stage, and even His Majesty praised Qiu Guan's good singing skills.

Lin Yarong didn't know why Qiu Guan came to worship the imperial concubine, but she thought Qiu Guan was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her life.

She still remembers the first sentence she said to Qiu Guan

- You are a beautiful girl.

Lin Yarong thought that she would never forget this sentence.

Qiu Guan treated her very well, perhaps because of the reason of your concubine, or because of other reasons, Qiu Guan cared about her like a brother.

in Changchun. After staying in the palace for a year, she was transferred to serve the noble concubine, and she met the second prince for the first time in the Zichen Hall.

The noble concubine likes to be lively and often asks people to sing in the Zichen Hall. At this time, Lin Yarong is always the happiest, because she can see Qiu Guan. Sometimes even if she can't speak, she just looks at it from afar and knows that someone can care about her. No matter how hard it is, she is, she doesn't feel so difficult.

At that time, Lin Yarong always thought that after she left the palace, she would save a lot of money and wait for Qiu Guan to come out. She could take care of Qiu Guan. When she had a child in the future, if Qiu Guan agreed, she could adopt one to Qiu Guan and prevent Qiu Guan from dying in a hundred years.

But when she finally left the palace and had a lot of money, Qiu Guan died.

Lin Yarong hated a person for the first time. Qiu Guan was her last trace of warmth in the palace, but all this was cut off by a life.

Hatred is like blood soaked in her bones. Unless she dies, she will never forget it.

I don't know how long it took, the prince's voice seemed to come from afar: "Madam, are you all right?"

When she came to her senses, Lin Yarong smiled on her face: "Prince, do you remember our agreement at the beginning? If you keep going, you are the real lord of the East Palace.

Looking at her thoughtfully, the prince suddenly smiled.

As soon as I came home from the palace and changed my clothes, I heard Green Lan talking outside.

After a while, the little girl walked into the house and gave Lin Yarong a wink.

Sending the green butterfly out to guard, Lin Yarong asked, "What did you hear?"

I didn't want to, but Lulan shook her head: "No, I didn't hear any credible news."

Lin Yarong was stunned. How could this happen?

She asked Lvlan to check where the old lady has gone with her poetry and paintings these days, but according to Lvlan, the old lady really just went to visit her relatives and friends and has never been anywhere else.

If that's the case, it doesn't make sense for the old lady to go to the pawnshop.

or...

Or did Qin really see the wrong person?

Green Lan stood aside and looked at her face carefully, and then whispered, "Poetry and painting went to the hospital the day before yesterday. Surprisingly, she went around half of the capital and went to the West City to see a doctor."

Pingjingfang is full of dignitaries, so there are more medical centers and medicine shops near Pingjingfang than other neighborhoods. If there are any minor problems on weekdays, you can go out to see a doctor and get medicine. But poetry and painting are looking for a long distance, and they have to go to the west of the city to see a doctor. What's wrong with poetry and painting?

After a moment of silence, Lin Yarong asked, "Do you know what happened to her?"

Green Lan shook her head: "I haven't figured it out yet. But it's strange that she really doesn't look sick. Instead, she has gained a lot of weight recently.

Yes, before entering the palace this morning, Lin Yarong also saw poetry and painting. That girl is really fat. It's rare for sick people to have such a good appetite for poetry and painting.

After hesitation, Green Lan said softly, "There is a mother in the house saying in private that poetry and painting seem to be... as if..." Green Lan looked embarrassed and looked difficult to speak.

Lin Yarong's face darkened, and she knew what Green Lan wanted to say.

"Go and call the housekeeper."

Green Lan was stunned and looked up at Lin Yarong. She didn't know what she meant, but the little girl didn't dare to ask.

After a while, the housekeeper trotted into the yard.

"Madam, what can I do for you?"

Lin Yarong did not go around and said directly, "Recently, there are some unpleasant rumors in the house, which is not a good thing. The old lady is a generous person. She used to have loose control over her servants in Tiliang City, but now she has moved to Beijing. How many people here and outside look at the Marquis's Mansion. It's not easy for the marquis to be outside. We can't cause him any more trouble.

The housekeeper is a transparent person. He understood it at one point and said quickly, "Madam, don't worry, I will deal with this matter properly and never bother the marquis."

Lin Yarong nodded: "Wait for the old lady to come back later. You can call me the poetry and painting. I have something to ask her. Also, these days, when the old lady goes out, who drives the car, you can also call the man for me.

The housekeeper answered repeatedly, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask your wife, is there anything?"

Lin Yarong laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the old lady has been outside these days. I'm worried that the old lady won't feel uncomfortable. I'm just asking casually to see what else the old lady needs.

As soon as the housekeeper heard it, it was not a big deal. After a salute, he was busy going out to send a swindler to call people.

After about a quarter of an hour, the housekeeper led a 30-year-old man in.

"Speaking to the lady, little Bao Dazhu."

"Get up and reply."

Waiting for others to stand up, Lin Yarong asked, "These days, you drive a carriage for the old lady. Where have the old lady asked you to go?"

Bao Dazhu hesitated for a moment before answering, "I went to a few adults' houses, and I have never been anywhere else."

It seems that the old lady has been guarding against her hand for a long time. Lin Yarong smiled and said, "Bao Dazhu, I remember you are a child from your family. Your old Bao family has been following the Sun family since the generation of Taizu. Speaking of which, your old Bao family has made great contributions to the Sun family as it is today. I know you are a loyal subordinate, but loyalty also needs to see who is your real master. Although I don't know what the old lady promised you, you need to know who is the head of this family. Today I'm here to ask you, and you don't have to say anything. If the marquis comes to ask you tomorrow, I'm afraid no one can keep you.

Lin Yarong didn't scare people. If something really happened to the old lady, after letting Sun Jingbang know, I'm afraid that none of the people who wait for the old lady can't run away. Bao Dazhu also knew the importance and stood there with a pale face and cold sweat.

Suddenly, Bao Dazhu suddenly knelt down.

"The little one dares not lie to his wife, but the little one also promised the old lady that he can't say it. Madam, don't push the little one."

Lin Yarong laughed. Is this big pillar really stupid or fake? Dare to bargain with her? Thinking that when the old lady asked in the future, Bao Dazhu said that she forced her to do it, and the old lady would not get angry? This big pillar is not an honest person.

"Just say it directly." Lin Yarong's face was a little cold.

Bao Dazhu thought for a while before he honestly said, "Actually, the old lady has two cars when she goes out. One is driven by me, and the other is driven by my daughter-in-law's brother."

Two cars, two grooms.

Lin Yarong suddenly understood: "That is to say, when the old lady goes out, she casually says a place, and then you take the old lady there, and the old lady will change to another carriage, right?"

Bao Dazhu nodded quickly.

Lin Yarong frowned: "Where did the old lady go in another carriage?"

"This... I don't know about this small one. Because the old lady said that you would definitely send someone to follow her. As long as you see me, you won't think that the old lady is actually sitting in another carriage. As for where the old lady went, I really don't know.

The old lady is really smart. In fact, as Bao Dazhu said, the people she sent thought that the old lady was also there when they saw Bao Dazhu. Who would have thought that the old lady would do such a move.

Sure enough, there is a son who is a general, so is the old lady also familiar with the art of war?

"What about your brother?" Knowing that Bao Dazhu dares not lie at this time, he can only ask one person to know where the old lady has gone these days.

"The day before... I went back to my hometown the day before yesterday."

Lin Yarong's heart moved. This is not right.

She shouted sharply, "Who drove the carriage for the old lady these two days?"
