Da Suining

Chapter 269
"Chunyu, they are all good people. If Mr. Lan hadn't rescued me back then, I would have been captured and killed by King Lu's people. When the servants of King Lu's mansion were chatting, I heard that after the incident, They want me to die... Unexpectedly, the daily food is poisonous... They didn't want us to live." Granny Zhao said, coughing a few times, and spit out two mouthfuls of black blood.

The room smelled of blood.

Chunyu was so frightened that she hugged Granny Zhao and cried, "Mother, why, why... I have already agreed to frame the second girl, why don't they let us go."

"It's already a big mistake to frame the second girl. Chunyu, mother knows, it's all because of mother that you came to this point, Chunyu... Mother's life is fate, and second girl's life is also fate."

Chunyu limp on the ground.

I haven't come back to my senses for a long time.

Granny Zhao held her hand eagerly, and suddenly vomited blood again, splashing black blood all over the bed.

It is irreversible even if Lu Yu takes medicine.

In horror, Chunyu watched her mother's life gradually disappear, disappearing completely.

There is no one in Chunyu's hometown.

Lan faded out the silver, had someone hire a chariot, and placed Chunyu's mother in a temple with good Fengshui five miles away from Qingcheng.

Then he gave Chunyu 20 taels of silver.

This money is enough for Chunyu to bury his family.

Chunyu was grateful: "Chunyu has been a cow and a horse in this life, and he can't repay the kindness of the young master. I only hope to have the next life, I"

Chunyu knelt down and kowtowed until her forehead turned red: "At the beginning, the princess heard that I had a mother in the country, so she asked someone to do everything possible to get her here, so that our mother and daughter could meet. I thought it was the princess who was kind. Unexpectedly, she and the lord hid my mother and refused to let us meet again, and told me that if I acted according to their wishes, I would let us go back to the countryside when things were done, otherwise, let us eat I can't walk around. My mother's life is in their hands, and I dare not disobey what they say."

"That's why you framed the Xiang family girl?"

Chunyu nodded: "I didn't want to at first, Princess Lu gave me a pinch of my mother's hair, and said that if I don't obey, then next time, I will take my mother's head. As a child, I dare not be unfilial, After I didn't ask for things to be done, the princess gave us silver taels, but only asked her to be gracious and let my mother go, and let us go back to the countryside. The princess agreed. But now my mother is also killed by them."

Who can you trust.

Who can work for.

Presumably, Chunyu already had the answer in his heart.

"If you go back again, I'm afraid it won't be safe. I can find you a safe place to stay." Lan Fa comforted her.

Chunyu shook her head: "This servant waited on the concubine for a while, I just want to go back and say goodbye to her."

Chunyu still can't believe that Xiangyan is so vicious.

Even if she made it impossible for her to have children again.

Chaoyang was born.

The pink glow covered the eaves of the palace.

In the courtyard of the third entrance, the west window is open, Xiangyan is sitting in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a green grass-colored long skirt inlaid with silver thread, wearing two jade bracelets in her left hand, and she has just finished her hair. She is being served by a maid. Clean face and hands.

Chunyu hasn't been back for two days.

To get the hairpin, I should have returned in half an hour.

"Girl. I'm back." Chunyu held the hairpin she had retrieved in front of Xiangyan.

Xiangyan took a look at the hairpin, and with a little effort, she tied the hairpin on Chunyu's arm.

It was getting hot, and she was wearing thin clothes, almost only separated by a layer of gauze. When the hairpin was tied down, Chunyu's arm immediately bled.

Chun Yu knelt down, watching those blood drops fall to the ground one by one.

Bloody smell.

A lot of bloody smell.

Just like the blood her mother vomited when she died.

Chunyu's eyes hurt, and tears welled up.

"If you go out, you won't come back. You really got a good job." Xiang Yan threw the hairpin on the ground: "Tell me, where did you go? Did you betray me?"

"Slaves. No."

"What did you do? I'm afraid you hooked up with the lord again? After you went out, the lord also went out. It's been a few days now, and the lord hasn't come back. It can be seen that he eloped with you."

"Slaves. No."

"I know you won't admit it, but you won't be able to have children anyway, and it doesn't matter whether you sleep with the prince or not." Xiang Yan snorted disgustedly: "A woman who can't have children is useless. What's more, you were born as a maid, and you don't have children, so it's useless to be favored in the future, not to mention, you have no favor either."

Chunyu's chest heaved violently.

"Just say what you have to say, it seems that you are wronged."

"That day when the servants went out, they saw the prince going out with Mrs. Zhang in the back kitchen. I heard from the prince that he wanted Mrs. Zhang to make some sweet soup for him."

That day I did see Guo Kai and Mrs. Zhang kissing each other, without shy away from it.

Chunyu didn't want to tell Xiangyan.

After all, Guo Kai is lustful, and Xiang Yan knows it.

It's okay for a 20-year-old girl to say that Zhang's sister-in-law is already in her 40s and has three children.Guo Cheng also handles the cooking and serving in the back kitchen all day long.

Because of this relationship, Mrs. Zhang never took Chunyu seriously.

I heard from her mother that during the days when she was locked up in the palace, those poisonous meals were all served by Mrs. Zhang.

Thinking of this, there is hatred in my heart.

I can't wait to tell Xiangyan quickly.

Sure enough, Xiang Yan couldn't stand the stimulation.

Why is it that an imposing princess like herself can't compare to the fire stick in the back kitchen?

She had also seen that Mrs. Zhang, who was as rough as a maid, with big feet, bigger than a man, with blue veins on her hands, and swollen eyelids like toads.

For this kind of thing, Guo Cheng is also contaminated.

No wonder I haven't seen Mrs. Zhang for the past two days. I heard the servants say that she has taken two days off and she is not feeling well. I'm afraid she is too comfortable.

He was actually robbed of the limelight by a toad.

It really makes no sense.

The maid silently carried the copper basin down.

Someone picked up the hairpin again, wiped it clean and put it on the dressing table.

Chunyu is used to serving Xiangyan.

With her there, the other maidservants withdrew.

The meals in the side hall are ready, there are hen soup, simmered delicacies, and roasted hare, but Xiangyan has no appetite at all.

"Where have you been these two days? Why do you look so lost?" Xiangyan asked.

"Girl, where is my mother?" Chunyu asked.

Serving Xiangyan since childhood, Chunyu knows the rules, what Xiangyan asks, Chunyu answers.

This time, she disobeyed Xiangyan's intention.

Xiangyan wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, thought about it with some doubts, looked at the lightly swaying dark green plantain leaves outside the window, bit her lip and said, "Isn't your mother all right? Why are you asking this?"

"Is my mother really alright?"

"Of course it's fine."

"Do you dare to swear, girl?"

"Are you afraid that you are not a madman? You went out and bumped into a ghost, so you came back and questioned me like this. Didn't I tell you, as long as you do things for me well, when that person dies, the matter will be over, and I will let you go with me." Wouldn't it be good for your mother to go back to the countryside and seal some money for you so that you can leave Qingcheng in a good way?"

That's what she said when she tricked her into perjury and told Xiang Sui to die.

She didn't change her face or her heart beat.

As expected of someone who can be a princess.

"Girl. I'll serve you for a while. How do I treat you, girl?"

"What you asked today is so unreasonable. You're talking nonsense. If you have nothing to do, go and see if the meal is ready. I'm hungry too." Xiang Yan stretched her waist, and the bracelet on her wrist jingled Xiang: "Don't think that if the prince sleeps with you, you will be out of your mind every day. You can talk to me no big or small. Don't forget that you are just a slave, and a slave should behave like a slave."

"Kill this lowly servant girl to death." A man came in reeking of alcohol and kicked Chunyu on the shoulder, causing Chunyu to be kicked to the ground.

It was Guo Cheng.

I don't know where I came back from.

He smelled heavily of alcohol.

That's right, 360 days a year, he is either drinking or looking for women.

"Hey, what did you do with Mrs. Zhang, who is in the back kitchen? You're so angry, it's not pleasing to anyone." Xiang Yan felt jealous.It's not good to speak.

"Ask you slave girl." Guo Kai kicked Chunyu again: "Tell me, did you let your mother go."

"I do not have."

"There are rebels in our palace, who else but you let your mother go. Now I have searched all over Qingcheng, but I can't find it. You must have hidden your mother. You want to bite back Let's take a bite, shall we?"

Guo Kai grabbed Chunyu's hair and almost lifted her from the ground.

Xiangyan didn't care about Mrs. Zhang's business anymore, so she had Chunyu tied up and locked up in the cellar.

The cellar was cold and stuffy, almost airtight.

Chunyu was thrown in with his hands tied behind his back, the lid on his head was heavily closed, and the cellar was dark.

In broad daylight, the cellar is also invisible.

"That old lady is getting old and took poison in our house. Even if she runs away, she won't be far away, and she will be fine." Xiangyan comforted Guo Kai.

"It's a good thing you have a lot of ideas, let the old woman put some aconite in the soup, put a little a day, it will be enough for her for ten days."

"As long as the aconitum is placed correctly, the old woman will not survive."

"Sister-in-law Zhang can do things with confidence." Guo Kai drank a cup of tea and dozed off on the bedside with his head propped up.

It's Mrs. Zhang again.

Xiangyan's teeth itch with hatred: "What if Mrs. Zhang goes wrong. What if the old lady doesn't die."

"Those who know about it will die. So as not to have too many dreams in that bed."

"Then Mrs. Zhao's whereabouts are unknown, and Chunyu has been doing something outside for the past two days, I'm afraid it's not. Chunyu has already seen her mother, are the two of you going to run away?" Xiang Yan felt her heart pounding.

No wonder I heard crows calling on the roof early in the morning.

This day-to-day, has been worry-free.

"The two of them won't run away. If her mother is going to die, Chunyu will definitely hate us."

"What should I do?"

"Do nothing but keep her in the cellar, don't let her out." Guo Cheng yawned.

Xiangyan seems to be doing big things. As the saying goes, a woman can't stand firm if she is not ruthless. She leaned on the curtain beside the bed and whispered: "Keep locked in the cellar, and one day she will come out. I can't guarantee that she will run away. How about Dead and clean."

"You want to kill someone? That's your dowry." Guo Cheng was a little surprised.

I have never been cruel to a woman.

"Some people are a threat to us, so they shouldn't be alive." Xiangyan sneered, "I have a way to get rid of both herrings and Xiang Suining."

Guo Kai did not believe that there is such a good way in the world.

So he quickly hugged Xiangyan into his arms and kissed a few times: "What's the trick, madam?"

Xiang Yan took advantage of the situation and fell into Guo Cheng's arms, and whispered a few words to him.

Guo Kai was sober from the wine, and just kept praising: "I didn't kill her last time, and let her live in prison for so many days. I also went to my father to inquire about it. It's time to send her on the road, but the eldest brother is always standing by my father's side, and won't let me say a few words. I didn't expect you to have such a clever plan, madam, and I'm right. Let's do it like this."

Xiangyan changed into a pair of bright red gold embroidered shoes, and took two maidservants to liberate Chunyu.

The cellar was dark and dank.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the maid had to light a lantern.

"Come out with me. This is not a place for people to stay." Xiang Yan waved.

wing.

The light in the afternoon is very poisonous.

The plantains also rolled up their leaves.

The teals in the pool were a little sleepy, floating back and forth on the water with their eyes squinted.

There are two wooden trays on the case.

Clothes with embroidered chrysanthemums were placed on one plate, and a plate of almond cakes and a pot of tea were placed on the other plate.

"I'm locked up in the dungeon, I've made you wronged. After all, you served me, and I can't bear to see you suffer. You're starving too. Eat the almond cakes. They're freshly made in the kitchen, as are the tea. Just brewed."

Chunyu ate the almond cake.Drink tea again.

"Change your clothes. The dungeon is damp, and you smell musty."

Chunyu changed her clothes without saying a word.

There are clothes on the plate, and a hairpin under the clothes.

It is a gold hairpin.

It was the one that Chunyu went to fetch for Xiangyan that day.

very expensive.

Xiang Yan inserted the hairpin into Chun Yu's hair herself.

Chunyu changed her clothes and wore a hairpin, not as she used to, thank you.Just silence.

"Why don't you ask me why I wear this hairpin for you?"

"The girl put such a precious hairpin on my head, there must be a girl's purpose."

"You are the servant I brought here. I have been kind to you since I was a child. I always wanted to let you reunite with your mother. Unfortunately, your mother was lost in Qingcheng. But don't worry, our palace is almost gone. Someone went to look for it, and your mother will be found soon."

"My mother is dead."

Xiangyan was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Chunyu would say such a thing.

Xiangyan thought she was joking: "How did your mother die, where did you hear the news?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. My mother said that you fed her poison."

Xiangyan was taken aback again.

There is an unknown premonition in my heart.

Still, Mrs. Zhao ran away.

And she also met Chunyu, who exposed her trick.

So there is no need to pretend.

Xiangyan rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist and said slowly: "We are masters and servants, and you also signed the contract of sale, your life is mine, so it is your duty to let you do things for me, to tell you the truth Say, the tea you drank just now is also poisonous."

"I know."

"How did you know?"

"The girl can silence my mother, but I'm afraid she didn't want me to live long."

"You put a sufficient amount of aconitum in your tea just now. The poison of aconitum will not kill you immediately. Your mother also put aconitum in your soup. If she doesn't run away and take the antidote, she will die." She won't die either, she died because she ran away privately, you, if you are willing to do things for me, I will give you the antidote after it is done."
