Chapter 110 A mole comes out of Qiluan Hall
Under the cool and pleasant shade of trees, the atmosphere at this moment became very awkward. Most of the people in the palace are shrewd. Up to now, it can't be seen that the medicine concubine has lost a big face invisibly. Although many people secretly gloated, they couldn't show it at all at this moment. Looking at the face of the medicine consternation and the emperor's eyebrows condensed, they didn't know what to do.
It was Ling Xiao who stood up and broke the embarrassing situation, as if he had not noticed how serious the matter just now. He smiled and said to Feng Yuqi, "Your Majesty, since Huiji is wrong, let her go and get the tea. I have been waiting for a long time."
"Did you hear what Jieyu said? Why don't you go soon?" Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Feng Yuqi was a little gentle. He turned his head and looked at Huiji, but his face was rigid again.
Huiji just heard that he was going to kill the bodyguard, and his face turned white. He was afraid that the emperor would notice something wrong and executed her together. Now she doesn't want those things that are missing. It's good to be able to escape the disaster. Now when she hears the emperor's words, she bursts and hurriedly responds, "Yes, the maidservant will go immediately."
When Huiji took the tea back, Ling Xiao drank two cups in a row, felt the shallow fragrance and astringency of the tea in his mouth, and said, "Although this tea is cold, it is used occasionally, especially in this summer, it is quite good." With that, he returned the teacup to Huiji and suddenly said to the medicine concubine, "Your mother, what do you think?"
The medicine concubine's smile was obviously a little stiff, and she only replied, "That's what Ling Jieyu said."
Ling Xiao knows that today's incident, after all, there is no real evidence to show that it is the concubine of medicine. She can't act rashly. In case a concubine of medicine provokes the dog to jump over the wall, she may also wrap herself in. In particular, Ling Yuechan is involved in this matter. No matter how Ling Xiao wants to punish her, he can't make it clear at this moment.
But she couldn't do nothing, so Ling Xiao deliberately used Huiji to provoke what had happened before. The excuse of using this tea was still given by Ling Yuechan herself. Speaking of which, she also lifted a stone and hit her own foot. Through the mouth of Huiji, a key figure, she said part of the situation at that time, and then forced her to talk about the bodyguard Li De.
Of course, Ling Xiao can tell these reports to Feng Yuqi by herself, but on the one hand, she doesn't want to tear her face with the medicine concubine on the surface, and on the other hand, those words will be better than those words said by the other party. If they bite the dog, they don't even need to say a word, they can achieve the desired effect.
Especially when pulling out the whereof of the green fog at that time, Caizhi is the person around the medicine concubine, which is strange enough. The most wonderful thing in this middle is not that you can catch how much pain the medicine concubine's feet, but that those specious doubts, those vague flaws, this degree is just right.
Of course, even if Feng Yuqi has doubts about the medicine concubine, how to deal with it still depends on his heart. Now it seems that he is not soft at all. Although he did not deal with the medicine concubine directly, he executed Li De and dismissed Commander Zhao. Everyone knows what these means.
Before long, everyone dispersed. In the evening, the news that the medicine concubine angered the emperor spread all over the palace. During this period, of course, there is an exaggerated element, which does not rule out the possibility of some people contributing to the flames in words. The purpose is just to make people think that the medicine concubine has lost her sacred heart and her status is not as good as before, so as to attack her majesty in the palace.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he just sneered and said nothing. At this moment, she has more important things to do.
Ling Yuechan is only surrounded by two close maidservants, Zhu Lian and Bihe. Ling Xiao sent people to pay close attention to their three masters and servants, and what they did should not be hidden from her. Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to get online with the medicine concubine. Then, the problem can only appear on those rough maids allocated to Ling Yuechan.
"I only have Yuechan, a younger sister. It's really a pleasure for her to visit me. In order not to let her be wronged, I specially sent you to serve her. At the beginning, I made it clear that if this is done well, there must be a reward. Ling Xiao looked at the five people kneeling on the ground, and the latter words were not finished. I'm afraid they could understand.
These people were carefully selected at the beginning. They were specially selected with a loyal temperament, even a little dull, and had no intention. Such people are not easy to be seduced by profit. Although they will be deceived by Ling Yuechan and inadvertently do something, Ling Xiao has explained it from the beginning.
They only serve Miss Cicada, and the rest are not allowed to obey orders. If there is anything, they need to report to her or Qingwu and Erlan. Violators will be severely punished. I expected that these little maids didn't have the courage, but what's wrong now?
After listening to Ling Xiao's words, although the five people showed a frightened look, their faces were full of confusion, because Ling Xiao did not tell them what had happened. Although they were relatively loyal, they were not stupid. At this moment, they were suddenly summoned over, and they also had a lot of intention of guilt. They guessed what must have happened in the palace, and they suspected that it was one of them.
"You don't think about it. Sooner or later, Miss Cicada will leave the palace. Is it worth doing such things for her? Today, it's just a confession. For the sake of your hard work in the past, maybe the little master can still open up, if..." Qingwu sang a black face and raised his voice sharply. "If you are stubborn, report it directly to the queen and die!"
As soon as these words came out, these maids of honor were so scared that their faces changed, but they didn't know what had happened. They were doing their own things, but why were they suddenly called over and scolded?
One of the maids of honor named Xi'er couldn't help saying, "Little Lord, I don't know what happened, but the maidservants are definitely not the ones who betray the Lord, and they will never do those wolf-hearted things."
As soon as the five people were called, Ling Xiao stared at their faces smoothly, with a good expression, but it really seemed that he didn't know anything about it. At this moment, this Xi'er is even more true, and there is no flaw at all. If that person's acting is not very good, it's really not done by one of them.
Ling Xiao asked with a calm face, "Have you been in contact with people outside Qiluantang recently?"
"No, the maidservants are rough. In addition to doing their own things, they don't even take a step at the palace gate, let alone contact people outside." Someone replied affirmatively.
Hasn't even the palace gate come out? This can be found out as soon as you check it. It's not easy to do it. If it hadn't been for me, they wouldn't dare to say so. So, is it really nothing to do with them?
Ling Xiao pondered for a long time and asked, "Have you noticed any recent changes in Miss Cicada and the two maidservants around her recently? Or have we found any strange people in Qiluan Hall?
Several people looked at each other and finally shook their heads. Ling Xiao sighed secretly. Originally, he didn't expect them to know anything, but he was inevitably disappointed.
Just when Ling Xiao wanted to send these people back, it was the Xier who just now spoke and said, "The little master, I didn't find out if Miss Chan has any abnormal slave maidservant, but there is one thing that the maidservant doesn't know whether it has anything to do with what the little master said."
"say." Ling Xiao's heart moved, and this Xi'er didn't look clever, but if she could find anything, she would be careful.
Xi'er replied, "The Zhulian girl next to Miss Cicada seems to have had a quarrel with the people in the small kitchen. It seems that she dislikes that the food cooked is not delicious. But a while ago, I don't know why. She seemed to often go in and out of the small kitchen. When she met people in the small kitchen, she was much more polite.
"Originally, Miss Cicada's food was sent by me, but later, Miss Zhulian said that she would serve Miss Cicada in person. She even asked her to go to the kitchen to pick up the food and wait for Miss Cicada's meal. Therefore, the maidservant was particularly careful.
Small kitchen? Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, which she didn't expect. The ingredients in the small kitchen are picked up in the imperial dining room every morning, and it is the same in each palace. The place to pick up the ingredients in the imperial dining room is a good place for people in each palace to communicate!
"Okay, I see. You go down." Ling Xiao covered his mind and comforted him with a smile, "My sister is spoiled. It must be difficult for you to do it. Qingwu, everyone will be rewarded with a jade bracelet."
"Yes, little master." Qingwu took something and gave it to the five maids one by one.
Although this bracelet is ordinary in color, that is, it is used to reward subordinates. It is naturally nothing in the eyes of the great maids such as Qingwu, it is already a good object in the eyes of Xi'er and others. After listening to the master's understanding, they are immediately grateful.
"Miss, I'm going to check it right away. Recently, who went to the imperial dining room to get the ingredients." Qingwu obviously thought of this and said angrily, "If it is found out, I can't forgive her first!"
"No." Ling Xiao didn't think so and said, "It's not necessarily the same person who goes out to collect the ingredients every day. Since that person has done such things, he will certainly not be so careless. Even if we find those few people, we still can't confirm who they are. In this way, it will startle the snake.
Qingwu frowned, "What should I do?"
"In this way..." Ling Xiao whispered a few words in Qingwu's ear and explained.
"Miss, you have a good strategy. In this way, you will be able to find that person, discipline him well, and set an example in this Qiluan Hall." After hearing this, Qingwu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "I'm going to arrange it. This time, I absolutely can't let the thief escape."
In the evening, in the courtyard.
"Ling Yuechan's cruel thoughts actually conspired with the medicine concubine to destroy my reputation, but in the end she made a big fall." Ling Xiao smiled proudly and said fiercely, "I hate that she is fine, but it doesn't matter. Presumably the emperor will come to visit me in two days, and then I will tell him Ling Yuechan's vicious thoughts."
"That is, Miss Cicada will definitely not have a good end at that time." Qingwu echoed, and then asked curiously, "Daily, little master, where did you go that day? How could you know their scheme and hide in advance?"
Ling Xiao said mysteriously, "Why is this difficult? Huiji had told me about it for a long time, and she didn't think about it. At least I was the emperor's favorite. How could she easily offend me?
"So that's it." The blue fog suddenly realized.
As they were talking, they faintly noticed that a dark shadow flashed behind the tree, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
