The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 260
"Sister, during my absence, what happened to Jinxiuxuan?" Yanhua was familiar with Geng Shi, and after coming back, she chatted with her for a long time, seeing that she didn't mention anything about what happened during this period. , she kept holding back and didn't ask.But after holding back for a long time, she still couldn't hold back after eating, and pulled Geng Shi to ask.

When Xianyun heard this, she forgot to look at Geng Shi worriedly.Yinzhen specifically told him not to gossip with Yanhua, if Geng talked about the matter, once Yanhua made trouble, everyone would naturally suspect Geng who lived in Wanfu Pavilion first.

Geng Shi was not surprised, and still smiled calmly: "Lingxi came back once before, and I told her everything that time, and there is nothing else."

Lingxi frowned suspiciously: "Hasn't Geng Gege forgotten something? This servant remembers that Ge Ge said last time that he had something to ask us Ge Ge himself."

Geng Shi still smiled calmly, she forgot to give Lingxi a glance, nodded and said: "Yes, I want to embroider a sachet with the pattern of crabapple flowers, but I can't draw a good pattern, thinking that my sister's embroidery is good, so I want to follow My sister asks for advice."

Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's easy to say, I will draw two patterns for my sister to see tomorrow. But," she suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with some doubts, "Why is my sister suddenly Are you unfamiliar with me? My sister has something to hide from me, is it convenient for me to say it? "

Hearing her being so straightforward, Geng smiled wryly: "You are still so straightforward. I don't mean to alienate you, it's just that you shouldn't ask about these things, and you'll only get angry if you find out, won't you?"

"But I want to know..." Yanhua looked lonely, and returned a bitter smile.

Xianyun was in a hurry, fearing that Geng would really talk too much if he was careless, he hurriedly said: "Changegemo is going to embarrass us, Gege, Changege doesn't know, but before Gege returned to the house, the master specially told everyone not to be in Gege. Talking nonsense in front of me made Gege sad. If Gege said it, we would have to blame her if the master found out, so Gege Chan should not embarrass us. Gege."

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, looked at Geng Shi in surprise, nodded her head when she saw her confirmation, stared and quickly suppressed the emotions on her face.

She laughed and nodded at Geng Shi: "In that case, I won't ask any more. But there is one thing, I hope my sister can give me an answer anyway." Before Xianyun could speak, she hurriedly added Said, "Don't worry, I will never let Master know that I asked about this matter."

Geng opened his mouth and responded: "Okay, you can ask."

"During the days when I was away, my sister could see someone sneaking around in my house... rummaging through things?"

Geng shook his head blankly: "I've never seen it before. Except for the time when Lingxi came back to get something, no one has ever entered my sister's house."

Yanhua fell silent thoughtfully, and suddenly figured it out after a long pause.She looked up at Geng Shi who was still puzzled, and thanked her: "Thank you sister first, it's not too early, sister should rest earlier."

Although Geng Shi was puzzled, he didn't bother anymore. He just nodded, and looked down at Yanhua's leg: "My sister's leg injury hasn't healed yet, so pay more attention to recuperating. I must have given my sister plaster The scar is gone, my sister has to remember to apply it every day, don't be lazy and just leave it alone, if the scar is not cleaned, it will not look good."

Yanhua smiled wryly: "Sister, I don't know how dangerous that day was. I'm lucky that I didn't end up missing an arm or a leg. What's the point of getting a few scars? One of my legs was seriously injured, I'm afraid I have to leave a scar. Don't worry, sister, this is my own leg, I will take care of it."

Geng Shi saw that what she said was reasonable, so he didn't worry about it anymore, and asked Xianyun to send a plate of freshly made peach blossom cakes to her room and went back to the room.

After Yanhua returned to the house, she saw Shaoyao and Bihe standing by the door like wooden stakes, so she glanced at them lightly: "It's getting late, go down and have a rest, it's good to have Lingxi and Huaying waiting for you." gone."

Shaoyao and Bihe exchanged glances, bowed their waists and retreated together.

Yan Hua held her breath, and only spit it out after entering the inner room: "It really lured wolves into the room, hey, look really angry."

"What's wrong with Gege?" Huaying was puzzled, and called hot water for her to wash.

Yanhua glanced out, with a sullen look in her eyes: "Sister said no one else came, so how did Wei Chang'an send people to search my house? The people in my house searched, you two follow suit I stayed in the garden, so only the two of them would be ordered to search my house. I knew that there would always be something wrong with putting two more people on me for no reason."

Hua Ying understood, but felt that something was wrong, frowned and thought for a while, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Ge Ge, the matter of searching the house was only heard by servants, Ge Ge, please don't take it seriously..."

Not only don't you have to take it seriously, in her opinion, it can't be taken seriously.

Seeing that Lingxi fetched water again, Yanhua quickly winked at Huaying: "Don't tell Lingxi what you said just now, according to her temperament, if she finds out, she will definitely start a fight, that's not good."

Huaying understood and nodded to reassure her.

Yanhua skipped the topic just now, and looked at Lingxi in a blink of an eye: "Lingxi, come here, I have something to tell you. Do you still remember where you buried that veil?"

Lingxi nodded: "I remember, the innermost row against the wall, under the third peach tree from the left."

"Okay, get up early tomorrow, and secretly dig out that piece of veil. After digging out, burn it..." Yanhua glanced at Huaying, seeing that Huaying was a little nervous, she changed her mind after a moment of silence , "Forget it, dig it out and give it to me first."

Lingxi glanced at Huaying, and said aloud: "You still want to keep the veil for thinking? It is a disaster to keep the veil. If someone finds out, something will happen sooner or later."

Huaying's face turned pale, and she lowered her eyes to look at Yanhua: "Lingxi is right, it is always dangerous to keep the handkerchief, we should burn it."

Yanhua looked at Huaying intently, and saw that she had slowed down for a while, the rosiness on her face hadn't recovered, she sighed and shook her head and said: "Keep it for now, since I have already searched my house, you should believe that I didn't take it." , I won’t search again for the time being. When the three of you and I were in the garden, we didn’t wear a handkerchief, so he should have believed that we didn’t take it, so it’s okay to keep it for now.”

Huaying glanced at her gratefully, but said nothing...

The next day when it was just dawn, Lingxi quietly went out of the house, and fearfully carried a hoe and ran into the depths of the peach grove.She has done few bad things, now that she knows that the veil is very important, she can't help but feel a little guilty.

When she buried the veil back then, although she saw Yan Hua's nervous expression, she didn't know the origin of the veil, so she was very calm when hiding the veil, and she didn't panic.

She sneakily found the peach tree, and quickly dug it up according to her memory.

She got up early today, and there were few people in Wanfu Pavilion, so no one paid attention to her whereabouts.

She dug a foot deep and didn't find it, so she continued to dig. When she dug to a depth of three feet, she couldn't help but panic.At the beginning, she buried the veil in a small wooden box. At that time, she didn't spend time to bury the box very deep because she was afraid that people would see it.

But why can't it be dug now?

She thought it must be that she had dug in a wrong place, so she dug all around.At that time she buried it at most one foot deep, but now she has dug two feet deep all around the tree, even down to the root of the peach tree, but she didn't even find a ghost.

She was in a hurry, and hurriedly rummaged around the two nearby trees - still nothing.

Lingxi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After digging for a while, his clothes were also wet with sweat.She looked up and saw that the sun was about to rise, she quickly covered the soil with a hoe, and then hurried back to the house.

Before Yanhua got up, after Lingxi rushed back, she quickly and quietly woke up Huaying who was dozing by the bed.

"What's the matter?" Huaying rubbed her eyes, still feeling drowsy.

"The veil I buried is gone! I searched all around the peach tree, but found nothing..." Lingxi yelled anxiously while wiping her sweat.

Huaying felt a "thump" in her heart, and all drowsiness disappeared immediately.She widened her eyes and realized the importance of the problem: "Why did it disappear? Who could have secretly dug the one you buried in the soil?"

"How do I know!" Lingxi stomped his feet anxiously, panicked.

She was buried in such a hidden place, who can find it?Unless, someone watched her when she was buried?It's also impossible, she was buried when Yanhua and Geng went to the Hall of Harmony to pay their respects. At that time, there were no two people in Wanfu Pavilion, and she didn't realize that anyone saw her burying things at all.

"What are you talking about?" Yanhua's lazy voice floated over.

Lingxi glanced at Huaying, hurried forward and whispered: "Gege, the veil, the veil is gone!"

Yanhua was still a little hazy, and it took a while to react after hearing Lingxi's words. She sat up suddenly in shock: "It's gone? Why did it disappear? Did you remember the wrong place?"

"Impossible, the servant clearly remembers that it was buried under the third peach tree, and the servant will not remember wrongly. But the servant also searched under the next tree, but couldn't find anything. "

Yan Hua hurriedly got up, just about to get out of bed, she paused again.That's right, she will only attract people's attention if she goes to see her. She doesn't know whether to believe Shao Yao and Bi He or not, so she can only be on guard right now.

After pondering for a while, Yanhua said calmly: "Let's do this, Lingxi, don't panic. After I leave today, you will openly carry a hoe and go to the peach forest to dig the ground, and say it was me I asked you to loosen the soil for the peach tree."

She frowned and stood up: "We are not here these days, and I don't know what happened. I will ask my sister later to see if they picked up the box. Tell me quickly Say, what does that box look like?"
