Shangshi female official

Chapter 12 Bird's Nest Porridge 2
Mother Feng was calculating, there was clearly someone offering sacrifices, but she said that she hadn't had time to burn the paper, she was probably being stubborn, and scolded: "Don't lie to me, someone sacrificed privately in the inner teaching workshop today, but the only thing found in your room is So many things come, who are you?"

"Mommy, I've only been in the palace for two days, and my mother's death date hasn't come yet. It can be checked. What's more, these gold nudes and paper money are only enough for one time, so I won't use them indiscriminately. And today I have been living with my roommate. My sisters have never been separated, so how could it be me?"

Nanny Feng thought for a moment, and felt that what the girl said was also reasonable, everything could be verified, and there was no room for lying.Then today, the person who sacrificed privately in the Inner Jiaofang could not be her, and then said coldly: "Take it to the firewood room and lock it up for three days first."

Two palace maids came up to drag him away, and the girl was dragged away, and the cry of crying gradually disappeared, "Mommy, please let me go, Mommy!"

Wang Yifu closed her eyes and calmed herself down. The paper money she brought in had been dumped by the well just now, and the ones found out now were definitely not hers, and she was testified by Imperial Physician Du just now, so she couldn't be involved As long as her mind is not disturbed and she is not overwhelmed by Mammy's words, no one will be able to find her.

"There are many rules in the palace, if you don't like to abide by the rules, pack up and get out, otherwise, you will be beaten to death and dragged out, do you understand?"

"I understand."

After being tossed like this in the middle of the night, these preparatory maids were all terrified, and went back to their rooms to pack their things. During this period, except for Wang Yifu, the three people in the room were called out one by one by Nanny Feng for questioning.

After the questioning, Nanny Feng returned to the hall of the Inner Jiaofang to report back. The room was brightly lit. Nanny Chen sat behind the long table in the north, and Nanny Zhou stood in front of the table. In the courtyard, I caught someone hiding sacrificial supplies, but she said that she had only been in the palace for two days, and she hadn't started using it yet, and she had been with her sisters in the same room, and had never been separated."

Mother Chen asked, "Is anyone locked up?"

"I have already caught the woodshed."

"Have you asked anyone else?"

"I asked, they were all on the training ground in the afternoon, and they went back together. They were all under the nose, and someone saw it. Only..."

"Only what?"

"Only Wang Yifu was missing and didn't go back to the room, but I just saw her and Doctor Du at the door. Doctor Du said they were together all the time."

"That's not her."

At this point, Eunuch Quan walked in with a dark red tray, bowed his body and walked in small steps, and said: "My lord, I found a well next to the place where I sacrificed privately, and I fished out such a thing from the well. "

Eunuch Quan put the tray in front of Nanny Chen. Inside the tray was a piece of wet paper. The ink on the paper had been blurred, only the words "妣" and "池" hadn't been completely blurred. clear.

Nanny Chen's hands slowly clenched into fists, and the candlelight danced uncomfortably on her slightly aged face. Some things had passed for many years. Although she had doubts in her heart, she could only press it down. If one person wants to turn up the wind and clouds, I'm afraid it will be another stormy sea.

"I see, you all go back and rest."

Nanny Chen winked at Nanny Zhou and sensed Nanny Chen's instructions, and after the two of them had gone far away, she turned back into the room and bowed to Nanny Chen, "My lord, but what do you want to explain? "

"I asked you to inquire about Wang Yifu, do you have any news?"

"The capital city is so far away from Jinling Mansion, and it will take two months to go back and forth quickly. Your lord, you have to be patient. However, I asked some questions from Eunuch He who brought them to Beijing. I heard from him that they occasionally chatted on the way to Beijing. I have been to Wang Yifu's mother, surnamed Yan."

Hearing this news, Nanny Chen's brows sank and turned into an upside-down character. She let out a long breath, her eyes fixed on the soaked white paper, and she continued: "Ting Lan, you still Remember the year I was demoted here?"

Nanny Zhou refilled the tea for Nanny Chen, and said, "It's been more than ten years. You are the best in the kitchen, but you can't show your talents in Shangshi Bureau. It's a pity that your skills are all buried in the internal teaching staff." Square."

Chen Momo lowered her eyes, and rarely talked about the old things frozen in her heart, "That year, two women disappeared from the palace, one surnamed Chi, who was the noble concubine in the palace, and the other surnamed Yan, who was Empress Li. Si Shan.

At that time, Mistress Chi was pregnant, and Niangniang Li was also pregnant. Whoever gave birth to the prince first would be the eldest son in the palace. Yan Sishan mixed safflower water into the bird's nest porridge that Li Niangniang usually drank, which was a heinous crime.

Mistress Chi was deprived of her title and sentenced to death by Ling Chi. She was not allowed to enter the house when she was alive, and she was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall when she died. Within three generations of the family, she was not allowed to take the official examination.Yan Sishan was demoted to be an official prostitute, exiled at a chosen date, and three generations of his family were demoted to slavery. "

Nanny Zhou was serving Nanny Chen's tea, and she couldn't help being startled when she heard these horrific words, and the movements of her hands paused, "I've heard about these, it's been six rounds and one palace for decades. It was the worst punishment, and it is a pity to hear that Yan Sishan is also a good crafter."

"The matter of the punishment is a later theory. Back then, the Empress Dowager loved Chi Niangniang, she heard the news from somewhere, and ordered not to touch anyone, and rushed back overnight to interrogate herself, but when they arrived in the palace, the two people disappeared."

"Didn't those two commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Nanny Chen shook her head, "There is no corpse. How could he commit suicide? It's just a conclusion to the case. Yan Sishan was taught by me and promoted by me. I was also implicated and demoted to the Inner Teaching Workshop Come."

The word "池" on the table was soaked in water, and the paper floated up. It seemed light and fluffy, but it weighed on her heart like a stone that weighed a thousand pieces of gold.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Stay still for now, and you will see people's hearts after a long time. Whether she came here by herself or was instigated by others, you have to look again. And this matter is not trivial, you know, I know, that's all."

The girl who lived with Wang Yifu was released three nights later. She was crying in the room while opening her trouser legs. There were bruises all over her calves. The perpetrators probably didn’t leave any traces. feelings.

She hugged her legs and cried, but the other girls were indifferent. A few days ago, Aunt Feng searched the house, and many of their gadgets were smashed, and they were full of resentment, how could they show any kindness to the culprit.

Wang Yifu thought over and over again, opened the drawer under the window, took out a blue enamel box from it, and opened the milky white ointment inside, which was specially sent to her by the eunuch Du Jingmo. It cools and loosens the silt on the calves, which is very useful.

She turned around and handed it to the girl, saying, "It's for the pain."

The girl slowly raised her eyes and looked at Wang Yifu for a long time before reaching out to take the plaster.

Wang Yifu put the enamel cover at her feet, and was about to go out to fetch water.

"Wu Xiaolan."

Wang Yifu didn't understand, "Huh?"

"My name is Wu Xiaolan." She repeated.

"Wang Yifu." After speaking, Yifu went out and fetched water to wash up.
