Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 327 Eavesdropping
"Of course I have my own way. But this matter, I still need the help of Lan'er and you." Feng Yong said with a smile.

At this time, Bai Lan's voice came from outside: "Your lord and the shopkeeper are discussing matters in the inner palace inside. What are you servants eavesdropping on?"

Hearing these words, Feng Yong quickly pushed open the door, and saw two servants kneeling on the ground, the place where they were kneeling was indeed not very far from the door.

Feng Yong quickly checked the information of these two people in the system, and found that their family members lived not far from the capital.

Feng Yong helped the two of them up with a smile, and said in a low voice: "You eavesdrop like this, did you learn it from the palace?"

"Going back to the prince, the palace never taught the slaves these things... Besides, the slaves didn't eavesdrop..." One of the slaves was still defending.

Feng Yong smiled and shook her head: "Of course the palace won't teach you these things, but I don't know if the people in the palace know how to teach. But I know your background. Although you have similar names, you also come from In the same palace, in the same hometown, but they are not blood brothers. Su Mu and Su He, I don’t know, I really think you are blood brothers... I don’t know, do your parents far away in Shishipo have any relationship... "

"My lord! My lord, spare me! My lord, we didn't hear anything at all! You spoke so quietly, the princess came before we heard it." Su Mu quickly apologized.

Feng Yong shook her head helplessly: "What you said, seems like this king is some kind of vicious person, as if this king never threatened you."

Hearing what Feng Yong said, the two became even more anxious: "My lord! My lord, we don't mean that! My lord!"

"Forget it, forget it, don't say so much, since you didn't hear it, what is your excuse? Go out and watch." As soon as Feng Yong finished speaking, the two of them went out.

Feng Yong looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly.

"It's all from my own family. Just say what you have, don't hide it. You are still young, so they won't blame you if you say it, right?"

"What the lord said is that we won't argue with Zhengchu."

"Sister, do you have any other relatives in the capital?"

"Hemeng and I are both gentry, it's just that this natal family's status is not noble enough to be reduced to slaves. What's wrong with having relatives in the capital?"

"Oh, no wonder... No wonder I heard from the store today that sister Hemeng seemed to be flying a pigeon to pass the letter yesterday, and the pigeon flew to the direction of the capital, but I don't know if the children in the surrounding villages were naughty and shot them down with a slingshot. I don't know what to do? If this pigeon is a family letter for Sister Hemeng, then I should go find a child to get the pigeon back... I just don't know if it's too late..."

"Since it's the pigeon written by the family, you must help Hemeng get it back. You go now, don't let the child be greedy and roast it."

"Then I'll go quickly, I want to see pigeons, and I want to see roasted pigeons."

"puff……"

"No, no, it's not important, just bake it. Children, don't worry about them."

"But... the pigeon is from my sister's family letter. It's okay. I'll go now and get it back for my sister. If the child wants to eat roasted pigeon, I'll buy one."

"No, no, no, don't bother Zhengchu. Let's write a letter later and send it back from the station. It's too troublesome to go this way. Besides, this is not an important letter. Don't bother Zhengchu everywhere. I found it. Since it is inconvenient for the pigeon to pass the letter, we should ask the post station to send the letter for us in the future, it will be safer."

"Ah, Brother Ma Lin, how did you get this pigeon back? I just asked to understand. This is a letter pigeon for Sister Hemeng. You should return it to Sister Hemeng."

"It turned out to be Aunt Hemeng's carrier pigeon. I thought there were spies among us, and I wanted the prince to investigate thoroughly. But it's not bad to think about it. The two aunts Hehuan Hemeng are both from noble families, and the way of delivering family letters is naturally better than ours. If you are more advanced, you naturally don’t want to use the station.”

"The horse guard was joking, but because there was an urgent matter at home, he would use the carrier pigeon to inform the servant. There is no such thing as high-level or not. How can the slave, a maid of the gentry, use a more advanced method than the guards who stand shoulder to shoulder with the palace? Ask Guard Ma, this carrier pigeon...was it like this when you found it? The family letter on it..."

"What Aunt Hemeng said seemed like I was peeping on purpose. When I picked it up, the pigeon was almost plucked and roasted, let alone the letter from the family. The hair is almost lost. As for the letter from the family, I want to come , it may be that the child is naughty, I don't know where I lost it, if Aunt Hemeng wants it, I will go back and look for it?"

"No, no, no, since the carrier pigeon is back, I'll write another letter. How dare you bother the guard horse."

"Speaking of letters from home... By the way, you guys can read and write?"

"No, no, slaves are naturally illiterate, so every time a family letter has to be written by a special person, it is more troublesome, so I just asked where the family letter is... The prince also knows this place, and it is also necessary to find someone who can read. It’s quite difficult.”

"Since you were able to find it before, looking for that person now is...why? Is that person not there?"

"This...this...should...not be here...the...guest from the inn next door...should be gone."

"Oh, that's okay. When you think about it later, I'll just write it for you. It's a piece of cake anyway."

"No... no need, servant girl, servant girl, I will find the innkeeper to do it for me later..."

"Then you can ask the innkeeper to help her later. If it really doesn't work, give me some money, it's fine."

"Okay, I'll ask the boss to find Sister Hemeng later. By the way, brother, someone from my sister's family took her away just now, saying that it would be better to go home to recuperate. There are so many people here and I'm worried that she won't be well served. ."

"Oh, okay, that's right. This kind of inn is really not suitable for recuperation. Are Furong and the others following?"

"No, Sister Furong and the others are still tidying up in the room. It's just that my sister went first. Sister Furong and the others will catch up as soon as they finish cleaning up. There will be no delay. The carriage made by my sister is naturally not as fast as Sister Furong's riding a horse."

"I know that if there is something urgent at home, it's okay to say it, but in the current situation, if there is something at home, I can let you go home to visit relatives, but I can't let you write letters again and again. It's not that I don't want to It's human nature, but the rules are like this. In the palace, the maids can only meet with their family members at a fixed time, don't they? Flying pigeons to pass letters is not good after all. Pigeons fly around. I sent you to exchange news with the capital, do you understand?"

"What the prince said is not too much, slaves should obey."

"Since there is something in your family, I will definitely send you back. A noble girl enters the palace as a maidservant. She can only come out when she is old, but I know that it is too unreasonable. If there is no urgent matter in your family , If you think about it, you won’t rush to fly pigeons to pass on the letter. How about it, you can go back and have a look, and Hehuan and the others will serve you. Don’t worry, come back after the family matters are resolved. Anyway, you haven’t arrived in Wenzhou yet. Hurrying, there is nothing to wait for if you want to come here. I will not blame you when you come over after your work is done. Besides, I don’t like to be served by others. Even if you are by my side, it’s no big deal, just go back , you are also at ease."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

"You can arrange it. Find a carriage or something these two days, and send Hemeng home to have a look. We have no father or mother now, so we can't let others accompany us?"

"My brother is really considerate of his subordinates. If you do this, everyone will be happy."

"How did this see you off like this?"

"Hmph, didn't the lord order us to be brought back? I didn't expect the lord to say one thing and do another thing. He talked about letting Hemeng go back to visit relatives, and sent people to catch us back there. It's really fickle. Very nah."

"I didn't say capture them...I just said, bring them back."

"What's the difference? It's agreed to let Hemeng go back to visit relatives, but he halfway asks someone to bring him back. Isn't this playing tricks on us? Is the prince so contradictory?"

"Am I contradicting my promise, or are you contradicting my promise? Hmm? I asked Hemeng to go back to visit relatives, but I didn't tell you Feige to pass on the letter? What did I just say? Feige's passing on the letter is easy to be misunderstood, and the result? I discovered something Others. I treat you as my own, so you just squat outside and listen to the wall? For such a slave, I said bring it back, is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty said we listened to Qiang Gen, is there any evidence? Although we are slaves, Your Majesty can't taint someone's innocence like this!"

"You don't need to help Hemeng speak, that pigeon is not Hemeng's at all, but yours, do you want me to continue?" Feng Yong said coldly.

"My lord is joking, the court ladies can't read, these servants understand."

"Yes, but you are not ordinary court ladies. You failed in the draft and stayed in the palace. Song Kongqing is the imperial doctor. How could his two daughters be illiterate? I remember...you were still in the palace before... People are known as the top ten strange women in the capital... Song Ziling? Is it you? Huh? I don't know what reason Concubine Rong has caught on you, so that you are willing to help her. But, I want you to understand that no matter what, Concubine Rong After all, you don't understand what she promised you. You can't play with her. "

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about."

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Oh, you don't understand? Song Ziling, why did you fail in the draft? Why did your father remain a doctor for so many years? Why are so many failed drafts sent out to the palace for free marriages, but you are working in the palace? Why are you two sisters The appearance and talent are not bad at all, and you are still in the womb of such a favored concubine, but you have not been pitied by the Holy One for so many years? You are still too simple."

"My lord, my servant... I don't understand what you're talking about... This servant was rewarded by the lord, not sent by Concubine Rong, my lord, don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't expect Song Kongqing to have such a stupid daughter as you, and she didn't know that she was tricked by others. Just think about it, there are so many ministers in this court, so many people drafted for the show, those who succeed will become masters, and those who fail Back home, why are you the only ones left behind? Isn’t it because of the low official status of the Censor and your low background, so it will be easy to control? Just make up a pretext for you so that you can do things for her. Aristocratic women, no matter how stupid they are, they must have their own backbone. Song Kongqing thought that one day you would climb to the dragon bed after staying in the palace, thinking that even if you were not Ehuang Nvying, you would still be flying swallows and virtues. People are playing with each other, and they are still concealing and shouting for others. I really complain for Song Kongqing."

"My lord is saying...are we being kept in the palace with ulterior motives?"

"Oh, you're not stupid. Originally, I thought, I don't need to tell you about this in a hurry, but after looking at what happened to you today, I knew that I couldn't do it. Who is Song Kongqing? The censor doctor who dares to do it can speak coldly to the faint emperor, and impeach the courtiers bluntly. You say that even if you don’t know anything, you can see it? Don’t you need to use your brains to do things for Concubine Rong? Who am I? I am the nephew of Concubine Rong! She and my mother are sisters. The Fengwang Mansion has fallen, has she ever said a word? Even the affairs of the Fengwang Mansion are related to her. Not to mention the brother-in-law of Lord Feng, even my mother, the younger sister, she never thought of saving such a person! Do you still want to help her? I know why she sent you here! Thank you so much!"

"why?"

"Why? Don't you want to think about it? What are your backgrounds and what is your family situation? Song Kongqing will be dismissed and investigated for any incident! And what about you? Even if you die, no one cares! If you say you, you will be rewarded Give it to me, I found out what you have, and it must be severely punished. In my opinion, you are here to monitor me. When something happens, she can ask the Holy One to deal with me, Song Kongqing can't say anything. If I I didn't do anything to you, but I committed a crime and was punished by the sage. As the maids of the criminal ministers, do you have any more? When the time comes to deal with you, Song Kongqing still can't say anything! You say, this is not killing two birds with one stone. Is it? If Song Kongqing said something, and he and Song Kongqing did it together, it would kill three birds with one stone! What a concubine Rong! Those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. You should have been in the palace. I hope that the Holy Majesty will be lucky, waiting to be the little master, instead of being sent to me to be used as a pawn for others!"

"Is this... is this... all true?"

"I don't think about anything else, I just want to tell you the truth. Concubine Rong is not a master worth following. You are not the ones in the pond, why are you willing to degenerate? Follow, and follow a master worth following. Of course, I'm not talking about me, don't think too much about it. If I'm like this, I'm definitely not someone worth following. You see, I know now that I can't protect myself."
