Chapter 636 Princess Yongan ([-])

Because of the canal and the convenient transportation, the prosperity of Linyang even surpassed that of the imperial city.

The magistrate of Lin'an is an old man surnamed Zhao, with gray hair, probably in his sixties, but he looks very energetic, with the meaning of being old and strong, and his words are neither humble nor overbearing, not at all because Mai Duo is Yong'an The princess is half flattering, and she behaves politely, words and deeds are measured, which is really a role model for an official.

After eating a welcome banquet, Mr. Zhao brought a few people to the princess mansion. The housekeepers and maidservants in the mansion were all outside, kneeling in a row.

"This place has been established for many years, and it has finally ushered in its owner..." Mr. Zhao looked at the plaque of the Princess's Mansion, and his tone sounded a little emotional, and he didn't know what he thought of, "Now that we have arrived at the Princess's Mansion, there is still a place in the Yamen. There are a lot of official duties to be dealt with, so I will take my leave first."

"Master Zhao is being polite. Your Excellency loves the people like a child, so naturally I can't stop you."

After Mr. Zhao left, he let the servants disperse first. Mai Duo went in first to visit his future residence. It was probably under His Majesty's orders. The furnishings of this Princess's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion in the Imperial City were all the same. , it should have been built exactly the same when it was originally built.

Regarding this point, Aunt Huijin is clear, "The eldest princess has always been the most beloved child of the first emperor, and she built the two mansions exactly the same, just thinking that if the eldest princess wants to live here, she can feel the same It's the same in the imperial city, but it's a pity..." Speaking of Princess Dongyang, Aunt Hui Jin inadvertently showed a trace of sadness, but soon recovered and looked carefully at Mai Duo.

Over the years, even on the anniversary of the death of the eldest princess, she has been very careful not to mention the eldest princess as much as possible, so as not to make Mai Duo feel sad. Changing the topic, "My princess must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you take a nap first, and my servant will wake you up at dinner time."

Of course Mai Duo knew that she was afraid that she would think of her mother and feel sad, so she didn't say anything, "Okay, then I'll go back to the house first."

Since the master has not been welcomed in this mansion, there are not many servants in the mansion, and they can be counted on one hand. Apart from Butler Chen, there are two guards, two servants, and a cook. someone else.

So the first task, Aunt Huijin asked Steward Chen to buy a few more servants. Although Mai Duo likes to do everything by himself, the servants can be used, but they must be, otherwise if it spreads, others will say that His Majesty has treated the princess harshly.

Within a few days, the housekeeper brought back a few maidservants and servants from Ren Yazi, and assigned them jobs after some training. However, since these people were bought, they would always be a little restless.

Xiaochun, who helped the cook, ran away, but in fact he just ran away. Mai Duo had no intention of catching him back, but the bad thing was that Xiaochun died and was beaten to death.

Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that when the people from the princess' mansion wanted to catch Xiaochun and go back, they accidentally lost their hands.

"Although he is a servant of the princess's mansion, if he wants to fight or kill, the subordinate has no right to intervene, but the princess should pay more attention, lest rumors spread, which may damage the reputation of the princess."

Aunt Huijin frowned, "How can Mr. Zhao say this? There is no basis for it. Could it be that Mr. Zhao relied on his own guesswork to resolve cases in the past?"

"The lower official has checked, and the deceased was sold here. She has no relatives and no reason. Naturally, she didn't have any grievances with others before. She came to the princess's mansion for only a day or two. The lower official really can't think of it." , if it wasn't for being accidentally beaten to death by the princess's people, then who, for what purpose, insisted on making life difficult for such a little maid?"

Mai Duo raised her hand and grabbed Aunt Hui Jin's wrist, signaling her not to care, and then looked at Master Zhao again.

"Master Zhao dares to directly condemn me. I appreciate your courage to defy power, but..." Mai Duo narrowed his eyes, and the sharp gaze made Master Zhao, who has been in the officialdom, tremble in his heart. I have no reason to hide Xiaochun because I killed Xiaochun. After all, Xiaochun’s deed of prostitution is still with me. She is a servant of my family. That being the case, why should I lie."

The atmosphere froze for a while, Mr. Zhao thought and thought, and found that this statement was true, the other party didn't need it, and probably didn't bother to hide anything about such a "small matter".

So, is it really someone else?
"However, this matter is indeed strange. As you said, Mr. Zhao, no one seems to have the need to kill Xiaochun. The only explanation is..." Mai Duo recalled what he had encountered in Luohe before, the feeling of disobedience It became more intense, and her eyes instantly became deep, "She saw something she shouldn't have seen, and was silenced."

"What?" Mr. Zhao didn't react for a while, but then he had a hunch that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this, so he didn't ask any more questions, "Since it has nothing to do with the princess, I will resign first and wait for you later." I will find out the truth tomorrow and come back to apologize."

The strong premonition in Mai Duo's heart reached its peak when she saw Yingying who came to her in a hurry.

During these years in Dongliang, she was not only a princess, she knew many things that others thought she did not know. Mai Duo hoped that she could be their insider in the court, but Mai Duo refused.

It's not that she doesn't miss her hometown, her father and king. She still dreams about it at midnight. It's still the scene that day when Dongliang's soldiers rushed into the palace. The blood stained the light-colored carpet with deep red. It gets darker, and every time Mai Duo wakes up from the dream, she can't fall asleep again.

But she knows one thing clearly, that is, the huge gap in strength cannot be made up by any strategy. Even if a person is extremely smart, he cannot fight against an army of millions alone and still win the final victory.

As the former Great Moon Princess, Mai Duo certainly has hatred in her heart, and this hatred is by no means lighter than anyone else's, but she is also very clear-headed, she does not want the only remaining people of Great Moon, because a goal that is impossible to achieve And give your life.

But of course they didn't think so. They were blinded by hatred, and they didn't want to make things easier for Emperor Dongliang even if they died together. But in fact, they couldn't do it. It would just be an unnecessary sacrifice.
