Chapter 48 Tree Shadow Secret Talk
The old lady woke up, but as long as she saw Qin Yunuan alone, Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, and the maid who came to inform her had already reached out and made a gesture of invitation.
"Grandma, please." The maid at the door picked up the curtain to let Qin Yuuan in. Qin Yunuan kept her mind and found that the people around the old lady have changed into some capable maids with sharp hands and feet and skills.
"Yu Nuan has met the old lady. Is the old lady in better health?" Through two layers of covering the veil, Qin Yunuan saluted the old lady lying on the bedside. She could faintly see the old lady leaning lazily on the soft pillow, with one arm supporting her head, and her posture was a little tired. The old lady raised her hand and motioned everyone in the room to retreat. Suddenly, she opened her mouth, and her tone was as loyal as a bell ringing: " There is such a big thing outside, but you can still be so unhurried. Only the young generation of the royal family has a little bit of my demeanor.
Qin Yunuan nod and said anything, and the old lady's words sounded again: "The maid in the small kitchen is dead, right?"
"Yes." Qin Yunuan nodded.
"This is the survival law of my Hexiangyuan. This is the only end for anyone who dares to betray me." The old lady slowly got up, lifted the curtain and walked towards Qin Yunuan. "You should also learn. It's time for you to clear the people in your yard."
After saying this, the old lady happened to open the second curtain and walked to Qin Yunuan, which was unexpected. At this time, the old lady's face was ruddy and energetic, and she did not look like a poisoned person at all.
Qin Yunuan suddenly understood that in fact, it was not the old lady who controlled the overall situation. The backbone of the 60-year-old royal palace was the biggest winner of this incident, and the death of the decoction maid listened to the old lady's tone, which seemed to be the old lady's own masterpiece.
The old lady glanced at Qin Yunuan with wise eyes. She knew that Qin Yunuan had figured it through, but just stretched out her wrinkled index finger and poked Qin Yunuan's heart and said slowly, "I call you here to tell you that sometimes don't look at people, don't look at your face, don't look at your daily behavior, but look at your heart."
When Qin Yunuan came out of the old lady's room, the old lady told the maid to say that she was tired and disappeared. King Ning and Princess Ning naturally asked Qin Yunuan about all the details about the old lady. Qin Yunuan cleverly avoided the old lady's safe and sound. King Ning heard a general and sighed. With a breath, he only ordered the servants to take strict care of Mother Li.
They dispersed. The second lady and the second master returned to the West Mansion, and the rest of them went back to their own yard.
When Qin Yunuan walked through the corridor, she happened to see Leng Suxin passing by. Fang wanted to say hello, but she was coagulated by Leng Suxin's cold eyes.
"This four girl is so strange," Man'er couldn't help saying, "it seems that she can't get along with each other, but she speaks for the third young grandmother at the most critical moment."
It depends on the heart.
Somehow, Qin Yunuan thought of what the old lady said to her again.
"It seems that I have made a lot of enemies today," Qin Yunuan frowned. "The second lady of Xifu, Aunt Tang, my sister-in-law Ruyi and my second sister Qin Yuwan, who just married in. They look like a plate of loose sand, but none of their mouths are vegetarian. People's words are terrible. I have to admit this." After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and turned her head and asked, " By the way, what's the name of the little maid who came to report with the medicine jar today?"
"The little maid named Xi'er has been fighting with Liao's mother. It's about 14 this year." Man'er replied.
"It looks like a scene," Qin Yunuan nodded, "Be careful. I'm in a hurry to use people around me now."
Maner nodded and answered, took Qin Yunuan for a turn and walked towards a bamboo forest. This is a shortcut back to the yard. There are many people in the forest, and there are more mosquitoes. Qin Yunuan usually doesn't go here. Today, she is really anxious to rush back to the yard.
As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I heard someone whispering in it, like a woman's voice, mixed with crying and helpless pleas.
"Young master, you can't do this anymore. You said you would take the maidservant into the room. It's been almost two months, and the maidservant's stomach can't be hidden. Young master, beg you as a maidservant."
The young master made the slave's belly bigger? Such a thing is not uncommon in large families. Qin Yunuan frowned and wanted to leave quietly. When he ignored the wind and snow, he happened to see the side face of the crying maid at a glance.
Isn't this begonia? The begonia who is outstanding and wants to climb the bed to be an aunt.
Now she has got what she wants, but listening to the man's answer, she doesn't seem to care about her.
"Do you think I can really take you in the current situation? I'm already in trouble. Don't embarrass me. As for the child, a bag of red flowers, there is nothing left.
"Young master, you can't do this. This is your bone and blood."
"I didn't kick you out of the house just because it was my child." The voice was so cold that it was a little strange that I couldn't recognize any young master in this house. "Get out of here, don't let me see you again."
After saying that, a burst of rapid footsteps went from far to near. Qin Yu was shocked and quickly took a few steps back with his skirt and hid behind a bamboo forest. Unfortunately, the bamboo leaves were hidden and she did not see who the man who left was.
However, the royal palace is only a few young masters. In addition to Leng Changxi, the young master Leng Changxuan, the second young master Leng Chang'an, and Leng Qiguang in the Western Mansion, the "Young Master" in Haitang's mouth are nothing more than these few people.
There was a faint sound of begonias whining and crying on the other side of the bamboo forest. Qin Yunuan didn't want to stay for a long time. She was ready to go back along the path, but she saw a familiar figure at the corner door of the bamboo forest garden. The green shadow flashed quickly, but Qin Yunuan still looked carefully. Isn't that the green bamboo beside Princess Ning?
Just returned to the yard. Leng Changxi had finished the trivial things in the room. He watched Qin Yunuan enter the room and thoughtfully pushed a bowl of warm lotus seed soup on the table to Qin Yunuan: "Try it, I made it."
"Did you do it?" Qin Yunuan was a little surprised. She never knew that Leng Changxi had this skill.
"Hmm." Leng Changxi nodded solemnly and seriously, "I supervised the master of the small kitchen." Looking at the smile on Qin Yunuan's face, Leng Changxi thought for a moment and said, "I also added two spoonfuls of sugar."
For a big man like Leng Changxi, who has never been in the kitchen, adding sugar is like cooking. Qin Yu warmly took the lotus seed soup and leaned down against the warm cup of the lotus mouth. The fragrance of lotus leaves came to his face, overflowing with fragrance, and he smiled warmly and said, "Then it's hard work."
Just took a sip, but Liao's mother hurriedly walked in from the outside of the house, closed the door, lowered her voice and said to the two: "Master Third Young Master, Third Young Grandma, there is an accident in the Bamboo Forest Garden."
"Don't worry, speak slowly if you have something to say." Qin Yunuan handed a cup of tea to Liao's mother.
Mother Liao was not in the mood to drink and relieved her breath and said, "The prince didn't close the matter of Mother Li's preparation to strictly investigate the medicine jar. As a result, Mother Li died innocently in the small pond in the bamboo forest garden. At that time, there was only one person in the bamboo forest garden, the maid named Begonia given to Miss Xie, and witnesses said. Seeing that Haitang pushed Mother Li into the water, now Haitang has also been locked up. Now there are rumors that Haitang was originally the person who was placed by the third young lady beside Miss Xie. This time, Haitang is going to kill Mother Li for the third young grandmother and destroy the evidence for the third young grandmother.
Qin Yunuan frowned. Originally, she knew that she was being targeted. In addition, she had the same problem with the old lady's medicine jar, but the old lady was poisoned, but she was safe and sound, which was indeed suspicious, not to mention those with ulterior motives.
"Where did the rumor come from?" Leng Changxi asked calmly.
Liao's mother thought for a moment and said, "The maidservant was also the first to hear from the steward on the side of Dongyuan. She also said that Miss Xie was tortured by begonias and lilies that she couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat. Now Miss Xie is complaining to the prince and the princess."
"Huh, complain?" Qin Yunuan said disdainfully, "At that time, Begonia and Lily were accused of Xie Ruying's acquiescence. Xie Ruying actually dared to complain. Isn't she beating the old lady in the face?"
Liao's mother seemed very worried: "Grandma, now that this rumor and news have not spread, should we take some action and plan early?"
After thinking about it, Qin Yunuan just smiled clearly: "No, we don't have to do anything this time." Qin Yunuan thought of the words she heard and the back of the green bamboo she saw in the bamboo garden, which really helped me.
Qin Yunuan finished drinking the lotus seed soup and wiped the corners of her mouth carefully: "This time, we just need to have a good rest and wait for tomorrow. Naturally, there will be a good show."
One night without a dream, Qin Yunuan slept very well in Leng Changxi's arms. The two hugged each other and fell asleep, which was extremely sweet. On the other side of the royal palace, under the dim candlelight, a woman in a moon butterfly embroidered robe leaned on the bed tiredly. In front of her was a few floating white smoke and a low-headed piety The woman kneeling in front of her.
"You mean you were found?" The woman on the bed opened her mouth lazily and her tone was extremely gloomy.
"The maidservant is useless. When the maidservant left, she was seen by the begonia of Dongyuan, but the maidservant has pushed Mother Li's death on the begonia." As he spoke, the woman kneeling on the ground raised her head. Isn't this the green bamboo that Qin Yunuan saw in the bamboo garden?
The woman on the bed stood up and walked out of the heavy and cold darkness. Half of her face was illuminated by candlelight, which was even more strange. At this moment, Princess Ning was like a Shura from hell, terrible and sad.
"Changxi is my son and belongs to me alone. I will never allow other women to share her with me." Princess Ning's eyes became distant and strange. "Qin Yunuan, I won't let her end well."
