Chapter 52
She pushed the girl away and knocked hard on the rockery next to her until her head was bleeding, and then she sat on the ground and howled loudly, "Xianhui! I beg you, please let Tongyun go, let us go Right. You are already married, and you will also be a mother in the future. At least accumulate virtue, don't do such vicious things that hurt nature and reason, damage your own virtue, and break your own blessing..."

Rong's voice was louder than the other, fearing that others would not hear him, the more he cried, the louder he cried.

The guards at the door were all young girls, but in their teens, who were usually in charge of passing on a message, and had never seen such a scene of shrews swearing at the street, and they were all panicked and didn't know what to do.

Soon, Nanny Li brought out a few women who were tall and rough, and glanced coldly, "Mrs. Rong, the Princess of the Four Counties invites you to talk inside." In the little room.

Rong yelled and jumped, "Why do you lock me up? Let me out!"

Nanny Li said coldly outside: "Mrs. Rong, this is Prince Qing's Mansion, not Shao's Mansion, and Canglan Hall will not allow you to run wild!" Then she scolded the women, "Clean her up and take care of her, sir. You're the only ones asking questions!"

After a while, Princess Dajun who got the news rushed over.

Nanny Li bowed and saluted, and then said in a low voice, "Mrs. Rong couldn't stand firmly and knocked on the rockery. The Princess of the Four Counties was cleaned up for her, and she was resting inside. Now the Princess of the Great County is here. Take him back." He shouted behind the door, "Help Mrs. Rong out."

As soon as the door opened, Rong's haggard and struggling figure was revealed.

Princess Dajun took a closer look, she saw that her aunt had gauze on her forehead, her face was clean, and she was being held by two thick women, one on the left and the other on the right, where is the support?It was clearly a kidnapping by force!

Rong cried, "They forced me into custody..."

"Mrs. Rong!" Madam Li interrupted her, "We at Prince Qing's Mansion have always treated people with gentleness, courtesy, and courtesy. We have never done anything to bully others. There are some things that we should think about before we speak." He took a meaningful look at Princess Dajun, "Princess Dajun, are you right?"

Princess Dajun was furious, but she couldn't catch Nanny Li's fault, let alone say she was wrong.No matter what, we can't let Mrs. Rong say anything wrong with the palace here. Instead, he held back his anger, stepped forward and whispered, "Auntie, don't make a fuss. It will make the prince, concubine and empress angry. They don't want to please them. Walk."

For her own status in the palace, the niece actually spoke to a servant? !Rong's heart secretly hated, but the power was not as good as others, so he did not dare to confront Prince Qing's mansion.

"Let's go, let's go." Princess Dajun greeted the girl with restraint, and pulled Rong Shi out.

Nanny Li's expression didn't soften, but she was still solemn.

Just now when the Rong family made such a fuss, there were quite a lot of people outside, besides the people from the Canglan Hall, there might also be girls passing by and rough women.There are many factions in Prince Qing's Mansion, and people's hearts are chaotic. Rong's noisy and crying will definitely be spread by interested people.

As soon as she returned to the inner room, Yuzi also rushed back from the outside.

"How?" Xian Hui asked.

Yuzi closed the door, came over and whispered back: "Yesterday afternoon, there was a girl named Xiaotao in Jiangyunxuan. She went to the second gate and met a boy named Li Gui, who is her brother." After hesitating for a while, "But nothing special, Li Gui just bought a box of snacks for Mrs. Shao, saying that he has a bad appetite and wants to eat outside snacks or something."

"Food box?" Li Nanny thought about it for a while and asked, "How big is it?"

Yuzi shook her head, "I don't know."

A trace of confusion flashed in Xianhui's eyes, "Is there a problem with the size of the food box?"

Nanny Li explained: "The princess of the four counties has not given birth before, so I don't know. A five-month-old fetus is not big, so it can only grow as long as a bundle. As long as the food box is not too small, especially if it is multi-layered, make a dark box underneath. Greg can hide it completely."

"Ah?!" Xianhui imagined the bloody picture and couldn't help covering her mouth.

Yuzi also had a nauseous expression on her face, "This is, too... too disgusting."

Xian Hui shook her head, shaking off those disgusting pictures.After calming down, he said again: "However, even if it is true that there is something in the box as Mammy said, it must be cleaned up now." Some regretted, "This kind of thing can't be caught on the spot. of."

Nanny Li said solemnly: "Besides, there are other possibilities."

Xian Hui nodded, "Yeah, what if Shao Tongyun is pregnant? The food box, or something else, such as oxytocin, or even just food."

Yuzi was a little disappointed, "Then... it's all in vain."

"It's not in vain to inquire, after all we know that Shao Tongyun is secretly playing tricks." Xianhui didn't want her to feel that she was returning in vain, and it was not good for her servant's confidence.He opened the drawer and took out 200 taels of silver, "You take it and use it, if you don't have enough, ask me for it, and all news about Jiang Yunxuan will be returned to me."

Yuzi knew that the princess of the four counties had a lot of money, but she didn't expect it to be so rich. It was just 200 taels casually. She was surprised and assured, "Don't worry, the princess of the four counties, I will definitely use all the money wisely."

"Go." Xianhui waited for her to leave, and then discussed with Nanny Li: "It's fine if they didn't deliver the fetus. If they did, they must contact someone outside. You can ask someone to send a letter to me about this matter." Mother, let her find someone to help inquire." Although I don't want to bother my mother, there is no way, "After all, someone is staring at me right now, and the movements are too big, but it is easy to startle the snake."

But Nanny Li said: "Shao Tongyun will definitely let Mrs. Rong stare at Mrs. Shen. She might make a lot of noise if she kisses herself, so it's still not appropriate." She didn't shy away, but said directly: "I will arrange someone else .”

Xianhui was startled when he heard this.

Arrange another person?Oh, it must be someone who was inserted by Empress Wu in Jiangdu.

Although it makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but... I can't resist this kind of thing, even Gao Chen and Prince Qing's mansion can't do anything about it, so I can't kill Empress Wu's people, right?Forget it, it's not the time to turn against each other, as long as they can make the best use of everything.

She sighed, how to check whether Shao Tongyun is pregnant?How to expose her?All this has not yet been seen, and when it was dark, rumors began to spread in the palace.

Yuzi went to the kitchen, came back and said angrily: "Today, Mrs. Rong is making too much trouble, crying and shouting, making everyone think that the princess of the four counties is the murderer. But those gossips, they speak as if they saw it with their own eyes. Same. What else did you say, the princesses of the four counties didn’t see Mrs. Rong, and she refused the door, and Mrs. Rong almost knocked herself to death in front of the Canglan Hall.”

After hearing this, Xianhui said softly, "Mouths grow on people, so you can't cover them. Let them talk."

After all, I was a little upset, when I went to bed at night, I looked down at the suet jade pendant on my waist,——Where is Gao Chen?Calculating the time, he should have already left Jiangdu and is on his way to Fujian, right?It's ridiculous to say that even though he and I are married, it's as if we weren't married.

That's all, but he left too hastily.

Xianhui never knew that one day she would miss Gao Chen so much, and wished that he would finish the battle immediately and then appear in front of her.Although he has a cold temper, he is calm, calm and responsible, and will let himself, his wife, hide under his wings.

I don't resist marrying him, except that I have to obey the imperial decree, it must also have something to do with his own interests.

Xianhui was lying on the bed, thinking about Gao Chen, and turned around in a daze for half the night before falling asleep.

At dawn the next day, Xianhui still went to pay her mother-in-law a greeting.

She was not the first to arrive. Prince Qing's concubines, who were not named, arrived early. Like girls, they gathered around Princess Qing to serve tea and water.Madam Lu sat on the right side of the lower head, with a smile on her face, listening to Princess Qing's words.Sitting on the left is Princess Dajun. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace who presides over Zhongfu. She always arrives before others. She is also looking at Princess Qing, but she doesn't seem to have the spirit to speak.

Princess Qing was drinking a bowl of hot tea, and greeted, "Sit down."

Xianhui replied: "Hey, thank you mother."

In the hall, there was a little silence.

Concubine Qing was chatting casually with Nanny Zhou, and the concubines were careful in serving them, and they didn't dare to speak.Mrs. Lu always smiled and said nothing, and Princess Dajun managed to cope with it without saying a word.Naturally, Xian Hui would not talk rashly, and just waited to go back after the cutscene.

After a while, Concubine Wanci came together with the concubines of the three counties, Xiaohe and the Princess.

King Qing's wives, concubines and children are quite numerous, roughly divided into three branches.

The first branch is Princess Qing and her direct children, Gao Dun, Gao Xi, Gao Chen, and Princess Wuyang. Among them, Gao Xi died young, leaving only the princess of the second county as a widow.The second branch is Concubine Wanci, Gao Qi, and Princess Xiaohe. Concubine Wanci is quite favored by King Qing, and she has sons and daughters, so she has a certain status in the palace.The third branch is Mrs. Lu and Gao Xi. She is young, and her son is also young, only eight years old this year.

As for those concubines who have no status, they are either unfavored or unprofessional, so they are naturally insignificant.

Concubine Wanci laughed as soon as she entered the door, and asked, "What's the matter? Everyone is silent, as if bored."

Princess Qing turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to talk about the tea with Nanny Zhou, "...it's better than last year's." Ever since she had a daughter-in-law, she said that the juniors would respect her, and changed the greetings of the concubines to ten days. Once, - so as not to come every day to watch and add trouble, and to mess up the rules if you don't come for a long time.

Concubine Wanci bowed slightly and sat down.

Princess Xiaohe and the princesses of the three counties saluted before returning to their seats.

Concubine Wanci has a fair, silver face with long eyebrows and big eyes. The appearance of Xiaohe Princess is inherited from her. The mother and daughter are quite alike.Even though she was nearly forty years old, she was still well-maintained and her charm was still there, and she had the charm of a graceful lady with her gestures.

Her eyes were bright and bright, like lightning, sweeping around Xianhui's body.

Xianhui lowered her eyes, just pretending not to see.

Concubine Wanci asked, "Xianhui, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" It was rather yin and yang.

Xian Hui raised her eyes and asked back with sparkling eyes, "Why does Concubine Wanci ask like that?"

Concubine Wanci raised her hands to cover her face, and said with a slight smile: "I heard that Mrs. Rong came to see you yesterday." Although she is well maintained, she still looks awkward as a young girl, but she doesn't feel it, " Mrs. Rong even kowtowed her head, what happened?"

Xianhui knew that she and Princess Qing were not compatible, so she picked it up by accident, and pretended to be surprised, "Ah? How did Concubine Wanci know? Mrs. Rong got dizzy in the sun yesterday, and accidentally fell down. It was a knock, but there was no one else around at that time." He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the girl next to Concubine Wanci happened to be wandering around the gate of Canglan Hall? Hehe, what a coincidence."

Faintly implying that the other party has sent someone to follow at the door.

Concubine Wanci choked for a moment, and then sneered, "It's spread all over the palace, who doesn't know? Is there a need for someone to pass by the Canglan Hall? It's ridiculous."

"Really?" Xian Hui is not afraid of offending her, anyway, she is Gao Chen's wife, Princess Qing's direct daughter-in-law, and is destined to stand against Concubine Wanci and others, as long as she does not make mistakes on the surface.After taking the conversation, she said: "If a servant is gossiping, Concubine Wanci hears it, she should be arrested and punished severely." She asked: "Concubine Wanci, who did you listen to? Do you live?"

"You..." Concubine Wanci was so angry that her complexion changed, she changed the subject, and shouted: "Is this how a junior responds when an elder speaks? The princess of the four counties is really well-behaved and well-educated."

Xianhui was furious when she heard the words, and it was not her turn to teach her a lesson.

Besides, she has such a nose that is not a nose, eyes that are not eyes, and her yin and yang are strange, maybe she is the one who spread the news about Rong's crying.Immediately got up, walked to Princess Qing, and said with an aggrieved face: "Mother, did my daughter-in-law say something wrong? If there is something wrong, please teach me."

With an honest face of admitting his mistake, he ignored Concubine Wanci.To be clear, Concubine Wanci is just a concubine, not worthy to teach her a lesson, even if she made a mistake, it can only be taught by Princess Qing.

Princess Qing glanced at her youngest daughter-in-law with satisfaction, "Go back and sit down."

He didn't say she was wrong, nor did he say she was good, but he didn't say any lessons, so he naturally protected her.

Concubine Wanci's face was ugly, but she was not good at arguing with Princess Qing.

Xiaohe princess frowned slightly, —— the biological mother is always so impatient, what's the use of fighting for a few words of tongue?Moreover, he lost in front of the juniors, and he was ashamed to follow along with him.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Princess Wuyang led Zhou Qiao and came in from the outside, just now she could hear clearly from outside the door, and immediately sneered: "Concubine Wanci has such great rules and great face. A second concubine is also acting as an elder with the fourth daughter-in-law."

Although the second concubine's name sounds good, in the final analysis, she is still just a concubine.

Concubine Wanci was trembling with anger!
Princess Wuyang, an arrogant bitch, actually has the face to be arrogant in front of her?How dare you insult yourself? !If it wasn't for Zhou Qiao who pushed his daughter so cheaply, how could a majestic princess be assigned to a poor scholar?The princess was in a hurry to allocate her daughter to Lu Jian, wasn't it because the accident happened in the stands of the Shao family, and she was afraid that people would misunderstand Shao Xianhui?These bad guys, once you see them, you can't wait to tear them all up!

Concubine Wanci gritted her teeth, and said sarcastically: "When it comes to rules, Princess Wuyang, you should put more effort into teaching Xiao Qiao how to behave. Her father died early, so you need to pay more attention."

These words are clearly scolding Zhou Qiao for having a life, no one to teach, and bad conduct.

"You're presumptuous!" Princess Wuyang was extremely angry when she heard the words, and was so angry that she couldn't answer for a while.

Xianhui saw that her sister-in-law was angry because she helped her, so she had to stand up and said: "Concubine Wanci, Xiaoqiao just missed it in a joke, it was not intentional, so how can there be a word of rules?"

Zhou Qiao was furious, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."

Xianhui looked at Princess Xiaohe again, "I think the king of the fourth county told you about the grandstand. The railing was soaked by last year's rain and rotted. It has nothing to do with Xiaoqiao."

Princess Xiaohe smiled slightly, "Say it." But he practiced Tai Chi and didn't argue for Zhou Qiao.

Princess Wuyang regained his composure, and said: "Xianhui is right, but it's just a child's play, some people care about it, and they have to be convicted." With a cold snort, "It's really vicious! "

Concubine Wanci's expression changed, "Malicious? You..."

"Okay!" Princess Qing looked at the mess in front of her and interrupted: "Don't say a few words."

Concubine Wanci had no choice but to stop talking, "Since the princess won't let me talk, then I won't say anything." Then she slowly raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Princess Dajun, "By the way, isn't Mrs. Shao a miscarriage? Someone pushed it into the lake. Tsk tsk...the gods are pitiful, and the one that fell was a boy, isn't it true?"

Although Princess Dajun has a grudge against Xianhui, she is of the same line after all, so naturally she would not turn to Concubine Wanci, otherwise Princess Qing and Princess Wuyang would tear her apart first.So he gave a light "um" and didn't say much.

Concubine Wanci continued: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Shao's miscarriage is the child of the great county king. If it is born, there will be another male in the palace." She stood up with a concerned look on her face, "In that case It just so happens that everyone is here today, why don't you go over and have a look? Find out who pushed Mrs. Shao into the water."

While speaking, he squinted at Xian Hui's note.

Xianhui pursed her lips and remained silent.

Concubine Wanci is not good at confronting Concubine Qing and Princess Wuyang, but she will not let go of her new daughter-in-law. , to visit Xiaochan's younger sister is also human nature."

The implication of the words is that Xianhui is the murderer.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

Concubine Wanci was even more proud when she saw Xianhui was deflated, and said aggressively: "Princess of the four counties, do you dare to go?"

"Why don't you dare?" It was not Xianhui who answered the conversation, but Nanny Li who suddenly came in from the side door, stepped forward to help Xianhui's hand, and squeezed it quietly, "Princess of the four counties, it is said that people are not afraid of shadows. Xie, I will follow Concubine Wanci and go see Mrs. Shao."

Xianhui was startled, what does Nanny Li mean?What's the use of going to see Shao Tongyun by myself?
