Shengpingle

Chapter 135

In the evening, several masters in Washington gathered in Princess Ninghe's yard for dinner.

Just halfway through the meal, the butler came to report that Song Xuezhuang was seriously injured and died just now, so he sent someone to invite Sister Ling to go home.

Hua Pingan was stunned, "Why did it disappear?"

At that time, Song Xuezhuang only sentenced him to [-] boards, and I heard that he was making a fuss to change the executioner, so he couldn't just die of serious injuries, right?
Aunt Hua paused her chewing movements, then swallowed the rice in her mouth unhurriedly, and snorted, "He is used to being pampered, how can he bear the hardship?
I heard that after being hit by the board, the injury never healed, and later I caught a cold, and the Song family kept asking me to go back and see him—"

Aunt Hua snorted again, "It's fine if he dies, the debt will be wiped out, so as not to drag Sister Ling down in the future.

But he is Sister Ling's biological father after all, Brother An is tired these days, and took Sister Ling to the funeral."

Hua Pingle then said to the housekeeper, "Go and send the messenger, saying that it's late tonight, sister Ling is young, don't catch the wind, the county king will take sister Ling to the Song Mansion tomorrow morning."

The housekeeper agreed to go, and Aunt Hua snorted again, "I will never pick a good time, so that people will not be able to eat safely."

Hua Pingan glanced at Aunt Hua, always feeling that her reaction was too calm.

It's like, it's like he already knew that Song Xuezhuang would die.

There is also the second sister and grandmother, who don't seem to be very surprised, could it be...

Hua Pingan was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped his wandering thoughts, "Don't worry, Elder Sister, I will take good care of Sister Ling."

At this moment, Sister Ling, who was sitting obediently eating between Aunt Hua and Hua Pingle, suddenly asked, "Auntie, what is death?"

The little girl has been in Washington for a long time, and Hua Pingle often takes her crazy, and she is very affectionate with Hua Pingle, his aunt.

There was a sudden silence during the meeting, Princess Ninghe was about to speak, when Hua Pingle said slowly, "Sister Ling, do you remember what my aunt told Sister Ling that father has done very bad things?"

Sister Ling nodded, "I remember, that's why Sister Ling and her mother moved back to her grandmother's house. We have to stay away from the bad guys, otherwise we'll learn how to be bad!"

Hua Pingle raised his hand and rubbed her little cock, "Death means that father can no longer do bad things, and sister Ling doesn't have to see him anymore."

Sister Ling snorted, and then asked again, "When will the prince come to our house?"

"He's busy. When I'm free, I'll ask him to take Sister Ling for a fish, okay?"

Sister Ling laughed, nodded repeatedly, and said eagerly, "I still have to ride a horse!
Last time the lord said he gave me a short-footed horse, it never grew taller, and it will definitely not be like my previous pony, it will grow very tall in a short time, I am afraid when I see it."

"Okay, and ride a horse, a pony."

Hua Pingle responded with a smile, served a bowl of soup for Sister Ling, and she obediently took a small spoon and drank it.

The little girl rarely saw Song Xuezhuang, and when she did, Song Xuezhuang seldom talked to her, let alone took her to play like Huo Yanzhi. She didn't really feel much about seeing her father, but she would miss Huo Yanzhi if she didn't see him for a few days.

Aunt Hua's eyes were flushed, but her hand holding the chopsticks was steady.

Fourth Master Ma showed the sincerity of the Ma family, and sued Song Xuezhuang regardless of Ma Lianniang's reputation after her death, so she naturally wanted her sincerity.

She gave fourth master Ma a bottle of medicine.

Fourth Master Ma found an opportunity to put medicine on Song Xuezhuang, let alone forty pills, even if there were only ten pills, as long as he saw blood, his injury would never recover.

Death is only a matter of time!

For a father like Song Xuezhuang, it would be better not to have one. Living will only drag Sister Ling down. She is not wrong, nothing is wrong...

……

……

The next day, Princess Ninghe was worried and took Hua Pingan and sister Ling to the Song Mansion in person.

In less than two months, the once prosperous and prosperous Song Mansion showed a sense of decadence and decay everywhere, even the two stone lions at the door seemed listless.

As soon as I entered the door, my eyes were completely white, and I heard mourning everywhere.

But the door was very cold, except for the relatives of the Song family, almost no one came to express their condolences.

Marquis Changping—no, he is just the old man Song now—led a few clan disciples to greet him outside the gate, ordered the threshold to be removed, and drove Princess Ninghe's car all the way to the outside of the mourning hall.

Sister Ling obediently kowtowed to Song Xuezhuang's spiritual seat, burned incense, and burned paper according to the nanny's instructions. Although her plump and tender face was tense according to Hua Ping'an's instructions, she could not see any sadness.

In fact, the little person still doesn't understand the meaning of death very well, and she doesn't know what it means to her to bring her home after her mother and father die together.

Old Master Song couldn't help but shed tears again, "Brother Zhuang, this line of blood—"

Princess Ninghe suddenly became nervous, for fear that his next sentence would be to snatch Sister Ling from her.

Although she is not afraid, making an ugly mess is not good for anyone, especially sister Ling.

"Now my Song family can't take care of themselves, so I ask the eldest princess to take good care of this child and find a good family for her when she grows up, so I can rest assured!"

The old man Song knelt down and choked up his voice.

Princess Ninghe heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reached out to help her.

Song Xuezhuang is dead, and the debts of death have been eliminated. She will not care about all the things in the past.

Old Mrs. Song refused to get up, and said tremblingly, "Her father did something wrong, and his health and fortune were poor, and now that he is gone, it can be regarded as a debt of death.

When her father's funeral is over, I plan to move my family back to my hometown, nothing else matters, only sister Yun—"

He covered his face and cried, "It was I who missed Sister Yun's engagement to the Ma family. She didn't even know about it. It was my momentary confusion that ruined her life!"

Princess Ninghe Wen Xian knew Ya, Mrs. Song was asking her to help solve Song Xueyun's marriage in order not to entangle sister Ling's relationship with the He family!
Song Xueyun's mother and daughter were not present. Mr. Song's explanation was that the mother and daughter were too sad to get out of bed.

Princess Ninghe reckoned that Old Master Song didn't let them show up because he was afraid that they would resent her, lose her temper in words and deeds, and offend her.

As an in-law, she still understands, and she is also good to sister Ling, mother and daughter.

Moreover, although she didn't know the details of Song Xuezhuang's death, her eldest aunt of the Hua family suddenly left Beijing at that pass, and she could hide it from others, but not from her direct grandmother!
Princess Ninghe has always been generous in dealing with things, so she immediately helped the old man Song to stand up, "The old man must not be a layman, sister Ling will always call the old man grandfather."

Old Master Song knew that she had agreed, stood up with her strength, and bowed again and again.

Princess Ninghe saw that she had nothing else to do, so she left first and asked Hua Pingan to stay with Sister Ling.

……

……

It was inconvenient for Hua Pingle to accompany Sister Ling to Song's house, but she kept worrying about it, and arranged Anu and Xin Yi to be next to Sister Ling for personal protection, and sent people to inquire about news from time to time.

Hua Ping'an was annoyed by her torment, so he simply sent someone to report to her every half an hour.

Princess Ninghe wiped her tears happily when she saw this, and said to Aunt Hua, "Jiujiu and Brother An have really grown up, and they are so loving and considerate to you and Sister Ling.

Even for them and Sister Ling, you have to be good, the past is the past.

You are still young, and you still have a lot of time in the future, so don't try to get into a dead end! "

Aunt Hua lowered her head, she kept sewing in her hands, and said calmly, "Grandma, don't worry, I know."

How could Princess Ninghe be at ease, but she didn't dare to speak deeply, and asked about the embroidery work in her hand, "Is this embroidered for Jiujiu?"

Aunt Hua nodded, "Jiujiu seems to be getting married, she probably doesn't have the patience to do it herself, I'm fine, I'll embroider a few pieces."

Princess Ninghe nodded, and ordered someone to fetch patterns, "I can't do embroidery now, so I'll choose some patterns for you."

The grandparents and grandson were doing embroidery and talking at the same time, suddenly heard the clamor and shouts from outside, which should have come from outside the house.

All the voices from outside the mansion were transmitted into the inner courtyard, so what happened?
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, Princess Ninghe hurriedly ordered people to inquire about the news.

About a quarter of an hour later, Anu ran in panting, her dark face shining with excitement.

But it turned out that Hua Pingle was worried after all, and quietly ran to sit in a restaurant not far from the Song Mansion.

I didn't want to meet someone throwing a purse in the street, and there was a tinkling sound in the purse, there were copper plates and broken silver.

As a result, those who scrambled, fought, and stepped on each other, the street suddenly became a mess.

Hua Pingle also asked Anu to grab two of them, and after opening them, she asked her to bring one of them to deliver the letter.

Princess Ninghe opened the purse, and inside was a piece of paper folded into a square and two pieces of broken silver.

Princess Ninghe opened the paper, and in the middle was written "A Letter to the People of the Great Xiao" in large characters.

Princess Ninghe's eyebrows twitched suddenly. This "Letter to the People of the Great Xiao" has long been circulated in Fuguang and Jingzhou, but only the families of nobles and officials in the capital know about it.

And most of them are heard, there are not many people who have the ability and the heart to find the original text.

Unexpectedly, Qi Gufeng was so arrogant that he used such a method to publicize this "Letter to the People of the Great Xiao".

Seeing that Princess Ninghe handed it to Aunt Hua after reading it, Anu couldn't help asking, "Princess, what is written on it?"

Just now the girl was in a hurry to send her back to deliver the letter, and she didn't even have time to tell her what she wrote.

Princess Ninghe glared at her, Jiujiu is more sensible now, but he is too indulgent to these two girls brought back from the border, even one or two of them have no rules!

Anu didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Princess Ninghe, and said eagerly, "Young lady said that after the servant girl delivered the purse, she will reward the servant girl for buying melon seeds with the broken silver in the purse."

Princess Ninghe, "..."

Melon seeds, melon seeds!

She had never seen a lady's personal servant girl carrying a bag of melon seeds to nibble everywhere every day!
He also encouraged him to drink wine with her!

I really want to reward this unruly girl with dozens of stones of melon seeds, to kill her!
Princess Ninghe threw the broken silver back to her with a dark face, Anu stretched out her hand to copy it, caught it accurately, and thanked her with a smile.

At this time, the people sent by Princess Ninghe to inquire about the news also came back.

The place where the purse of the "Letter to the People of the Great Xiao" is hidden in Jingzhongsan is not the only place that Hua Pingle encountered, there are four places that he just inquired about.

Princess Ninghe hurriedly asked Anu to call Hua Pingle back, sighed and said to Aunt Hua, "The capital is going to be unstable again."

Aunt Hua's brows were also furrowed, "Then Qi Gufeng is quite capable, and he even made a fuss under the Emperor's nose. The capital must be under martial law."

Princess Ninghe stood up feeling restless, "No, I want to go into the palace."

Emperor Zhenghe valued his face the most, Qi Gufeng's making such a fuss would probably annoy him more than pulling up the flag to rebel, don't get angry again.

Aunt Hua hurriedly said, "I'll go and order the car to be prepared, grandma, don't worry, wait for Jiujiu to come back and accompany you into the palace."

……

……

As expected, Emperor Zhenghe was so angry that his head turned again. When Hua Pingle arrived with Princess Ninghe, there was a crowd of people standing outside Qianqing Palace, even Xiao Mingshi had arrived.

Hua Pingle took a special look at him, Xiao Mingshi lost a lot of weight, his complexion was gloomy, the corners of his brows and eyes had a very perverse and sullen look, he was almost a different person from before.

There were two powerful eunuchs standing beside him, one on the left and the other on the right, and a dozen or so stood behind him, all of whom knew how to kung fu.

The Great Xiao royal family has always advocated simplicity, and it is not an important occasion. When the emperor travels, there are generally no more than ten people around him, and the crown prince and prince are reduced by half, and most of them will not exceed four.

Like Huo Yanzhi, at most, he would bring angelica and asarum with him when he went out, and most of the time he would only take one of them for running errands.

Xiao Mingshi, this is, it's scary!

Hua Pingle lowered her eyes, she managed to trick Xiao Mingshi out of the palace, before she had time to do anything, someone rushed to do something before her.

Should it be her luck?
Or are there too many people staring at Xiao Ming?
Zheng Hedi had a headache, everyone in the palace, except for the concubine Jiufang who was sick, all came to Qianqing Palace to say hello, but they were all stopped outside, not even the Queen Mother could enter.

Although everyone was anxious, they could only wait.

Princess Ninghe came, but she entered the inner hall unimpeded.

Hua Pingle did not follow in, and stood beside Xiao Mingqing quite naturally.

As soon as she stood still, Xiao Mingqing grabbed her hand.

Hua Pingle took a look, and saw Xiao Mingqing's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes. Although he tried his best to endure it, it might burst out at any time.

Hua Pingle took a quick glance and found that the maid serving beside her was replaced by two faces she had never seen before.

Hua Pingle knew it was different, but this is not the place to talk, so she said in a low voice, "Princess don't worry, the palm print of the year is back, the emperor will be fine."

Xiao Mingqing choked up uncontrollably, bit her lip tightly again, and buried her face in Hua Pingle's shoulder, tears soon wet Hua Pingle's thin summer shirt.

Hua Pingle patted her comfortingly, staring deeply at the closed palace door, it seems that Nianyu will not have a good life after returning to the palace.

About half an hour later, Princess Ninghe came out, and said tiredly, "The emperor is fine, now I'm going to sleep, don't wait here, and come to greet the emperor when he wakes up."

When the Queen Mother asked about the specific situation, Princess Ninghe only said, "There is a year's palm print, it's all right, it's all over, let's go."

Seeing that the Queen Mother couldn't ask any questions, Zheng Hedi's concubines swallowed the words silently and dispersed.

Hua Pingle called out to her grandmother, and Princess Ninghe hurriedly said before she could speak, "It's getting late, let's go back first, Jiujiu."
