Chapter 248 The living
The beggar asked who was taking care of the Dongfang Master. Nangong Zhili wanted to talk about Princess Suko, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed and said casually, "There are so many maids in the prime minister's mansion that you can't use it. You are afraid that no one will take care of him."
How could the beggar not hear him to avoid it and asked, "Is the princess always taking care of him?"
Nangong Zhili said, "That's her business. It's not what Lord Dongfang wants to do.
The beggar said silently for a long time: "Always better than me. Seeing the truth in adversity, Dongfang Ye became like that for me, but it was not me who accompanied him.
Nangong Zhili was a little sad when he heard it. He wanted to touch her face, hung it in mid-air and put it down again. If these unintentional actions are more than polite, he will eventually die without burial. He said, "I'm lucky to be able to take care of you by your side."
The beggar smiled and said, "If this kind of care does not have any benefits or benefits for you, or even hinders your plan, will you still be so happy?"
Nangong said solemnly, "Yes. But even if I am very happy, I have to give up.
The beggar smiled and said, "Revenge is more important to you than anything else. If you are very happy, it is always an attitude.
Nangong Zhili sighed and advised her, "Don't think about it. Come on, drink the soup. It will be cold later. The tone is a little gentle.
The beggar's heart was full of Dongfang Master. He sat down, just took a sip, and said restlessly, "Master Dongfang hurried back to the capital. The matter in the county must not have been explained. If it becomes a plate of scattered sand, what should I do!"
Nangong Zhili said, "Don't worry. The prince has arranged for Bachelor Xu to serve as a temporary substitute."
"Which Xu bachelor?" The beggar asked.
"Xu Yao Xu, who was once the teacher of the prince and was born in Huaiyin Weaving House."
The beggar was puzzled and said, "A literati can't do martial arts, and he doesn't have the ability to make decisions. Can he be competent to manage such an uncivilized county?"
Nangong Zhili said, "It's just temporary. When Mr. Dongfang is ready, he will continue to go to the county to be the governor.
"Have all the people brought by Lord Dongfang to the county come back?"
"No." Nangong said, "You don't have to worry about this. Not to mention that no one dares to touch Master Dongfang, and his people are all good at it, and there will be no problem. When Master Xu went there, he only lived in the side hall of the Taishou Mansion. The main hall remained unchanged and retained the appearance of Mr. Dongfang when he left.
The beggar's heart calmed down slightly and said, "That's good."
The soup was finally finished, and the beggar said, "Help me and go out for a walk."
Nangong Zhili frowned and said, "This...isn't good? I am a doctor. The palace pays great attention to the defense of men and women. The prince will be unhappy when he sees it. Maybe he will doubt me. I still won't let him catch the wind and be suspicious.
The beggar said, "If you don't help me, I'll go by myself." With that, she really staggered out. After a few steps, she bumped into the chair and the chair did not fall down. She fell to the ground.
Nangong Zhili rubbed his hands in a hurry, and finally carefully picked her up and said, "Just this time, the next time is not an example."
"You should be serious under the eaves of others. If you are there, I don't know how to be bullied by you!" The beggar stabled at him: "Forget you don't want to serve me! Then tell the prince to assign me a few maids, and I also have a few companions. First, you can take care of me, and second, you can talk with me to relieve boredom!"
Nangong said, "This is not difficult. But it means that these maids will lose their freedom because of you and will not even be able to leave this water attic for life. In addition, with their presence, I have a lot of secret words to say to you, which is not very convenient.
The beggar suddenly touched his nerves when he heard the word "losing freedom". Where are the people who used to serve themselves in Ganlin Courtyard? What about the old palace doctor who does chores in the study?
And what about the sisters, Ru Gu and Qiu Sa? Regardless of the worries of their lives, they supported her to escape from the palace and hoped that one day the beggar master could take them out to the free world. She managed to escape and was "caught" this time. Because she was afraid that they would worry, she had conspiracy and heavy responsibilities on her body. She was afraid that they would meet for a while and be sad, which would make it difficult for them. So I just avoided it.
Although we are in the same college, we have never met. I don't know how they are?
Looking through the vast lake, I looked into the study. The door was closed and I couldn't see anything clearly. The beggar said, "Go and have a look. How many girls live in the study now?"
"There are only two." Nangong said, "What do you want to do?"
The beggar said, "What's their names?"
"It seems to be Chunhua and Qiu Shi?" Nangong Zhili recalled for a moment.
The beggar's heart suddenly jumped: "Do you know that there is a mute girl named Rugu and a mute girl named Qiu Sa in the study. Where are they?"
Nangong Zhili hesitated for a moment and told her the truth cruelly: "At this year's Lantern Festival, Qiu Sa put lanterns by the lake and fell into the water and drowned. Rugu was taken to the county by the Oriental Master.
The beggar's head fainted and almost fainted. She quickly held the pillar. She repeatedly said, "Why did you drown with a lantern? Why didn't she call for help? How can we not hear her if she calls for help? Dongfang Ye took Rugu to the county, why didn't he take Qiu Sa too?
Nangong Zhili roughly described what happened at that time. After hearing this, the beggar immediately said angrily, "There are obviously people here! Ru Gu is a mute and can't say anything. Qiu Sa is different. She has a special identity. Can others allow her to live!"
Nangong Zhili sighed, "The deceased has passed away. After all, Qiu Sa has taken the wrong way from the beginning. You have her credit so far."
The beggar said, "Although she was instructed to release ** for me, she had no choice but to. I forgive her. What else is there to be dissatisfied with the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Nangong Zhili hummed: "People are greedy. Some people are famous, some people are for profit, some are affectionate, and some people do it at the same time."
The beggar slowly sat down on a carved bench and said, "I must find out about this! Return the innocence of the dead!"
Nangong Zhili shook his head and said, "No. Even if it is found out, what can you do? The people behind this matter can guess it with their toes, but what can you do with her? She is the mother of Dongfang's future child, do you understand? Do you want to announce the results to make Dong Ye more melancholy and sad?
The beggar is stunned, yes, so what if it is found out?
The beggar grabbed the back of the chair made of hard mahogany fiercely, broke his nails, and felt no pain: "I hate..."
Nangong Zhili advised: "Go back to the house and have a rest."
The beggar looked up at the raised eaves in the corner of the pavilion and said, "Dongfang Ye believes this?"
"Master Dongfang can't help it if he doesn't believe it. He can't find evidence."
The beggar said, "I know."
"Don't be sad about this for too long." Nangong Zhili said, "There are too many living people who need your condolences and care, such as Dongfang Ye, Shoezhuang Xiugu, brothers and sisters in Shuihu Xianzhai, Rugu in the county, etc."
The beggar said, "Yes. Master Dongfang has someone to take care of herself, and I can rest assured that there is a girl with Yanzhi in Shuihu Xianzhai. Sister Xiu is very close, and I will inquire about her news from time to time. Now there is only Rugu. Master Dongfang left her alone in the county and helpless. I'm really worried.
"I'm also worried." Nangong Zhili said, "She is the only living mouth, although she can't speak. If the mute will pose a threat to them one day, they won't live long.
The beggar stared at Nangong Zhili and said, "Do you think they are not even willing to let go, and they are also watching?"
"I'll tell you something that doesn't matter, just go in and out of your left ear." Nangong Zhili said slowly, "Master Dongfang was in the county and made great efforts to teach her literacy. If more people know about this, think about the consequences.
The beggar said, "You mean... they are worried about Rugu using pen to provide details?"
Nangong Zhili put his hands behind him and sighed leisurely: "When the new empress guard comes to office, he will naturally make some political achievements to live up to the people who promoted him. This day is not far away.
The beggar's heart is like being hung on a frozen stone. She said, "I'm going to write a letter to Mr. Dongfang and send it to Prince Yang."
"That needs to be absolutely implicit."
The beggar has been thinking about it for a long time, and the hidden poems and tail poems are not good, which is too easy for people to see. Finally, an unstructured sentence similar to a crossword puzzle came out: "Eat all the miscellaneous grains, and everything is fine."
When Zhao Qian came, she begged him to give these words to Dongfang Ye. Zhao Qian took it and thought it was some kind of affectionate confession. Seeing that it was just a plain entrustment, he agreed. He also told the beggar that he would like to pass on such words for her in the future.
If so, she will no longer talk about him all the time. Zhao Qian can really do it.
