The eunuch is not the same as the four seasons
chapter 2! (4)
Take out the veil and wring it dry, carefully scrub the auspicious jar of His Highness Dongwu.
Left and right, up and down.
After wiping one after another, I would chat with Fu Mo'er, who is "also a fallen person in the end of the world" from time to time.
Fu Moer was crawling on the ground, checking the bottom of the tank for charcoal ash left over from the winter.
Blow once in a while.
Dye a snowy face into a tabby cat.
After half a day, both of them were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs, so they called the companions to go to Tatan for dinner.
This goes.
shocked!
Confused!
Doubt is alive!
The meal is called a sumptuous one.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.Frying, cooking, frying and steaming are all available.
It is completely comparable to the young masters of the palaces.
"Surprise" is always followed by "joy".
The eunuchs and court ladies were overwhelmed with gratitude, rushing to the table, breaking off duck wings and grabbing chicken legs... The scene was quite tragic.
Fu Mo'er's stomach was growling with hunger, and she was not stage frightened after seeing this battle, so she rolled up her sleeves and joined the melee.
Xiangjiu: It must be the emperor's son who did it again.
She was still in a daze at the door, wondering if the imperial lord was so kind to her, and whether he had come up with the idea of pampering her again.
How do you say that?
"If you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture her stomach."
Prince, this is what he wants both physically and mentally!
Xiangjiu grabbed her neckline, shaking like chaff.
Fu Mo'er held up a big pig's trotter and handed it to her: "Brother, eat quickly, or it will be gone."
Xiangjiu looked at the shiny thing, and took a deep breath of its fragrance.
But with a painful and tangled face: No, I can't eat, and I can't fall into the trap of the prince's love.
After finally eating a good meal, I was still moaning.
Fu Mo'er watched impatiently, her nose, eyes and mouth were twisted into a ball, she picked up the pig's trotter and stuffed it into Xiang Jiu's mouth.
Xiang Jiu's eyes trembled: ah, this pig's trotter is really delicious.
With enough meat and food, it's time to return to work.
As soon as he entered the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony through the right wing gate, he saw a eunuch had arrived early and was working around an auspicious jar.
It was noon, and the sun was very strong, and the clothes were hot from the heat.
Everyone will be lazy for a while at this time.
Is this man stupid.
Xiang Jiu and Fu Mo'er walked in and found that it was Dou Axing.
"Brother Ah Xing, why are you here~" Xiang Jiu called him sweetly.
This sound sounded like a brothel woman who hadn't opened for a year and was in urgent need of money.
Let Fu Mo'er mistakenly think that Xiang Jiu wants to sacrifice herself on the spot.
Dou Axing said with a smile: "I went to Xinzheku to look for you. They said you came here, so I came here to wait for you... Anyway, I am idle, so I will help you with work."
"... How embarrassing that is."
"It's okay, it's okay, you didn't treat me to a lot of good wine and food that night."
Xiang Jiu hummed, which was his approval.
"By the way, what do you want from me." Seeing that she was almost polite, she said straight to the point.
Dou Axing hurriedly took out a small copper box from his waist: "I counted the leather goods in the leather warehouse these two days, because the backlog is too long and smelly, so I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some incense and smoke it, and I got more I've got some, and I'll bring it to you."
Xiangjiu moved the tips of her ears, took the copper box, opened it, looked at it, and smiled innocently.
I would like to express my most sincere thanks to Dou Axing.
Then he asked about his leather goods.
Dou Axing only thought it was a greeting between friends, and answered them one by one. At first, he wanted to reciprocate and care about Xiangjiu's work situation, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to ask about brushing the bucket.
Just do it.
Before leaving, he took a second look at Fu Mo'er, and felt that this girl looked familiar.
Fu Mo'er generously let him see.
Dou Axing was embarrassed by his calm appearance.
Sorry for making a laugh.
As a qualified spy, one must have the most basic "sensitivity".
This inexplicable feeling is similar to a woman's sixth sense.
It allows people to make bold inferences or judgments from clues.
Xiangjiu is a master and a woman, so she has both a sixth sense and a keen sense.
In the past few days, after she finished her work, she would go to the Piku to help Dou Axing smoke the leather goods, because she could smell the storm coming.
In Dou Axing's eyes, this is a further proof of his friendship with Xiangjiu.
In Xiangjiu's eyes, this is the foreshadowing for him to frame Dou Axing.
No matter what the foreshadowing is, there will be an end.
The days passed, and it was mid-August. Seeing that the moon was about to be full, Xiangjiu waited for an opportunity.
In the evening, when the key of the palace gate was about to be released, Dou Axing and Xiang Jiu packed all the fur goods that had finally been smoked into boxes and loaded them onto the cart.
He hurriedly pushed it towards the Xihua Gate.I want to seize the time to send things out of the palace.
This is not an easy job, as soon as they ran down, both of them were out of breath.
Fu Mo'er has been quietly following them all the way to Xihua Gate, hiding behind the wall, poking out half of her head to peek...
Seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around and ran towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
In front of the gate of the hall, I met a eunuch in tea-green clothes with a bat-pattern patch on his chest.
Xiangjiu had told her earlier that there was only one person in the Hall of Mental Cultivation dressed in this way, named Jing Xi, and told her to remember it.
"Eunuch Jing Xi." Fu Mo'er called him.
Jing Xi followed the sound and saw that it was a beautiful little maid: "Do you know me?"
Before Fu Mo'er could explain further, she took out a letter: "My brother asked me to deliver the letter..."
"Your brother?"
"Yes, my brother, Xiang Jiu."
Jing Xi looked at the envelope without a word, wondering: "Did you say who it was for?"
"No. She said to hand over the letter to you, and you naturally know who to give it to."
That should be for the prince.
Jing Xi combined the two people's "flirting" that night to think about it.
It is decisively determined that this is a letter of love from Xiangjiu to the emperor's son.
"Okay, I'll send it in right now."
thought
Dou Axing and Xiangjiu were arrested for reselling palace property.
Therefore, Xiang Jiu came to the Punishment Division for the third time.
Came here three times in two months.It can be called the No.1 Forbidden City, not only breaking the previous records, but also creating history.
The so-called "Once born, second familiar, three times, four times are friends".
This time, the big guys obviously have a lot of closeness to her, from the cellmate on the left to the eunuch on duty, all of them greeted her with smiles.
Created a sense of home comfort for her.
The reason is that the steward here is still the steward whose thigh was branded by Fu Aichou. Since then, he has always been annoyed and treated Xiangjiu harshly, fearing that the imperial master would blame him.
This time, he made up his mind to give five-star service to this "imperial master's male favourite".
Xiang Jiu stood in the middle of the cell, looking up at the small palm-sized window.Relaxed and took a deep breath, sighed and said, um, it’s still a familiar smell——
There is a musty smell in the damp.
The eunuch who saw her off asked, "Brother Xiang, this cell faces south and is warm in winter and cool in summer. Are you satisfied with it?"
Xiangjiu clicked her lips, but said nothing.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Why don't you go and choose again, there is another one in front, which is transparent from north to south, I'm sure you will like it at a glance."
Xiangjiu patted him on the shoulder in relief, almost boasting that a child can be taught: "Let's go."
Dou Axing: "..."
He was about to lift his heels up, but the eunuch changed his face in an instant, stared blankly at him, and said viciously: "You just stay here!"
Xiang Jiu also said: "Brother Ah Xing, I have wronged you."
After speaking, he turned a corner in the dark corridor and disappeared.
Dou Axing was a bit unbelievable. He had heard that the Punishment Department was a place where people cannibalize people. Why is Xiangjiu so popular?
Holding his restlessly beating heart, he felt cold all over his body.
Fear spread along the heart veins to the limbs.
Xiang Jiu finally sat down in the cell that was transparent from north to south.
The moonlight came in directly, jumping on the dry grass on the ground, and the cold cell was getting colder and colder.
The eunuch made her a pot of tea.She took a sip, closed her eyes and calmed down.
Raising his hand, the eunuch retreated.
This leisurely and comfortable behavior does not look like a low-class eunuch, but a spoiled and expensive son of a rich family.
Her feathery eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Think back to what happened tonight.
According to the plan, she will accompany Dou Axing to push a cart of leather goods to Xihua Gate, and then Dou Axing will leave the palace to contact the store.
Anyone who leaves the palace has always had to do three things.
One is to have received the imperial palace badge from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The second is to hand in the tooth card next to the palace gate for registration.The third is to take the ticket and leave the palace with it.
She asked Dou Axing to push the cart to the palace gate first on the grounds that the cart was occupying the road.
She went to register for tickets.
Dou Axing is right when he thinks about it, this is the moment when the palace gate is locked, when people come and go, a car of leather goods can easily block the way of others.
He trusted her, and handed her the waist badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his tooth badge, telling her to go quickly.
And since she left, she hasn't returned for a long time...
At the same time, Fu Mo'er also sent the letter to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Mu Surao opened the letter and saw that the time had come. He ordered Nanye to go to Xihuamen, and ordered Dou A, the guard guarding the gate. Xing won.
Of course, it is not just to take it casually, but to pay attention to factual evidence.
When the leader of the guard led a group of men to surround Dou Axing, he was still waiting for Xiangjiu eagerly.
The leader of the guard army asked, who is staying here?
Dou Axing replied, Piku Dou Axing.
The leader of the guard army followed the principle of convincing people with reason, and asked him to hand over his tooth card to prove his identity.
Dou Axing couldn't get it out.
The leader of the guards said again, then take a look at the badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Dou Axing couldn't get it either.
The leader of the guard immediately narrowed his eyes.
This is a red flag.
Dou Axing was afraid that the guards would be serious, so anxious as ants on a hot pot, he explained incoherently.
At the critical moment, Xiangjiu came back.
Dou Axing was happier seeing her than seeing her parents, so she asked her to quickly take out the dental badge and give it to the guards for interrogation.
Xiangjiu opened his eyes in bewilderment, and said, "What the hell?"
This is nothing more than worse.
The leader of the guard army decided that Dou Axing was reselling the property in the palace, so he was arrested without saying a word.
Xiangjiu was identified as an accomplice, and they were taken to the Punishment Department together.
Nan Ye hurried back and replied: "My lord, it's done!"
Mu Surao was standing on the porch, as if waiting for him, softly said "um".
She caressed the warmth in her arms, the little guy dozed off as soon as he reached the tip of the willow on the moon.
Sleep leisurely and comfortably.
"...Where is Xiangjiu?" She asked this question after a long time, her voice was still very soft, as if she didn't care much.
But his eyes glanced around and landed on Nanye.
Nan Ye replied: "I've been arrested and taken to the Criminal Justice Department."
He turned around: "The slave will go and fetch her out now."
While talking, he shook his whisk and ran away.
"Come back!" Mu Surao said.
Nan Ye stopped, and turned around flexibly: "Is there any order from the emperor?"
Mu Surao turned her back calmly and entered the Nuan Pavilion with Nuan Rongrong in her arms.
Nanye followed closely.
"Help me with an idea."
Inside the Nuan Pavilion, there is a faint fragrance floating, thin smoke lingers around, and Mu Surao's graceful figure is hazy.
She only spoke half of what she said, obviously trying to let Nanye guess her mind first and cater to her.
Nanye said sensiblely, "About Miss Xiang?"
"Ah."
Nanye's brain was spinning rapidly, combined with tonight's events, he figured out: "You want to reward Xiang Xiaozhu."
The words reached his lips, but before he could say them, he choked them.
No, you can't say that.
Since the prince asked, he wanted me to bring this up.
Then he changed his words and said: "The slave thinks that although the matter is not yet completed, it is just around the corner to return your innocence. Young Master Xiang has contributed a lot this time and should be rewarded heavily."
"How to reward?"
"It's better... transfer her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve you."
Mu Surao showed a comfortable smile, secretly boasting that Nan Ye is really a rare and transparent slave!
Nanye also mentioned this earlier, but she vetoed it.
At that time she was guilty.
After all, she failed Rong Luo back then, and when she saw Xiang Jiu's face, she felt uncomfortable.
But as time goes on, I always want to see this face.
Probably in response to the old saying, "Habits become nature".
But the face is still serious: "Well, Xin Zheku is really hard, so let's do it like this."
Nan Ye correctly guessed the holy will, and let go of his suspended heart: "This slave will go to draw up the decree."
After a stick of incense, he came back with the imperial decree he had prepared, and asked Mu Surao to have a look.
Obviously, Mu Surao was very satisfied, stepped on the wheel ladder, put the imperial decree on the high shelf, and placed it with Rong Luo's portrait.
She stood on the top of the wheel ladder with her hands behind her back.
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he was walking around.
Nanny Qiongyu came from the hallway door, crouched down and said, "My lord, it's late at night, let's settle down earlier."
Mu Surao is in the right mood, without sleepiness at all, tossing and waking up the warmth in her arms, insisting on letting it accompany her for a while.
Nuan Rongrong really cooperated, turning out her white and fluffy belly and twisting it.
Mu Surao was amused.
But Mother Qiongyu urged her again, so she had to go back to the bedroom with Nuan Rongrong first.
Nan Ye raised her voice and shouted: "Princess...Xiang Xiaozhu is still staying in the Punishment Department."
"Stay, just stay." It's not my Rong Luo who suffered in that ghostly place.
Nanye: I seem to be a bit confused.
Xiangjiu stayed in the Punishment Department for another night,
Because she came too late and missed the meal, the Department of Punishment gave her the decapitated meal of the cellmate next door.
As before, two meat and two vegetables.
It's true that she's hungry, but she can't grab this kind of food.
Especially that cellmate was still lying on the edge of the cell door, looking at her with pitiful eyes...
I really can't lift my chopsticks.
It was simply returned to others.
She was so hungry that her eyes turned black, and she ate up all the tea and tea leaves in the teapot.
Then fell asleep.
I feel dawn.
The heat of the scorching sun rested on her eyelids, scratching her to open them.
She yawned, stretching her arms like a bird in order to move her muscles...
Click.
There was a crunch on the neck.
Damn, I fell into a stiff neck last night.
She pressed back her sore, swollen and sore neck, and babbled up from the hard bed.
So much so that other inmates who were still asleep couldn't help but curse.
Who the hell got up early in the morning and dangled his throat!
The eunuch who came to pick her up noticed that something was wrong with her, unlocked the big lock, got into the door, helped her get up awkwardly, and took two staggering steps.
He asked, "Brother Xiang, what's the matter with you?"
Xiang Jiu tilted his neck and said, "Don't mention it, I have a stiff neck."
"Oh, what should I do? The emperor sent you and Dou Axing to go to the imperial garden for questioning."
Xiangjiu:! ! !
Her honor is in front of the saint, isn't it disturbing the saint.
But now that the edict has arrived, there is no reason why she shouldn't, and she can't bear the charge of disobeying the edict.
Dilemma, dilemma!
Therefore, she was driven to the rack, put on handcuffs and shackles, and together with Dou Axing, was escorted to the Imperial Garden.
The imperial garden was extremely lively.
From the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, to the concubine Meng and the concubine Duan, all have arrived.
Even masters and servants, a large crowd of people.
Mu Surao nicknamed it "Family Reunion to Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th".
But what everyone doesn't understand is, isn't it all about eating cakes and admiring the moon at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
What to get together early in the morning.
But Mu Surao is the emperor, no matter what he does or says, he is "following the fate of heaven".
No matter how reluctant these old people are, they have to cooperate.
The imperial concubine was the first to bear the brunt: "Ah, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the sun is rounder than before."
Everyone looked at the white cloud dumpling floating in the sky: Where is the sun...?
"Yes, not only round, but also bright!"
"It's really a beautiful scene of peace and prosperity!"
Mu Surao: "..."
clean
Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.
Although Mu Surao got goosebumps when he heard the old mothers' flattery, but it's not good to refute their face.
He listened to the whole scene with a smirk like a king, and catered for a few words from time to time.
The one who caters the most is the imperial concubine.
He praised and said: "Without the careful teaching of the mother and concubine for many years, how could the emperor be able to govern the country and create this peaceful and prosperous world."
The imperial concubine smiled subtly, and said: "The so-called starting a family and starting a career, it's time for you to establish a Huangjun."
That's a really long way to go.
Mu Su rolled his eyes in his heart.
Simply turn a deaf ear to it and ask Concubine Duan: "Is Fifth Emperor's injury better?"
"...well, much better."
As a veteran of Gongdou, Concubine Duan only panicked for a moment, then continued calmly and calmly: "I'm sorry for the emperor's lord, Ting'er is mostly healed, and the imperial hospital is very dedicated."
At that time, Nanye came.
He climbed into the pavilion from the stepping path, with a round figure, like a kicking ball jumping up and down.
After asking the old masters one by one, Fang said: "Prince, the man is here."
This "person" refers to Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing.
Mu Su hummed a long tone.Tactful and cozy.
All the old concubines, look at me and I look at you, as if to say, just watch, and you will know that there is a good show to watch.
Only one person was uncomfortable - the Queen Mother.
Mu Surao had a panoramic view of their expressions, especially after seeing the empress dowager's old face, she felt particularly at ease.
She raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and asked Nanye to bring him up.
Nanye took the order, waved his fly whisk, and shouted downwards.
Then I heard the sound of the shackles rubbing, rattling, rattling.
From far to near.
Everyone put down the refreshments in their hands and stretched their necks to look around.
I saw two eunuchs stepping up the stone steps.
One has dark skin and a tall figure.Like a door panel.
One... with a crooked neck.Like a retard.
Mu Surao: "..."
Concubine Meng and Concubine Duan couldn't sit still.
The former's eyes were shining, like a female fairy staring at Tang Seng, staring at Xiangjiu with thin skin and tender flesh.
I sigh secretly that this is a stunner in the world.
The latter is simply a guilty conscience.It's strange why Xiangjiu was arrested. Could it be that the matter of seeking justice for her was exposed?
"Slave, please be safe with the emperor." Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing were kicked to the ground by the guards.
Mu Surao didn't answer, the old god brought the cup of tea, blew on it lightly, and took a sip.
She was silent for a long time.
Like a very patient hunter.
Give everyone time to think about it.
Among them, the imperial concubine has no ghosts in her heart.
So he started calmly, looked at Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing who were still lying on the ground, and said, "Tell me, why did you offend Sheng Yan!"
It was Nanye who answered.
He smiled and pointed at Dou Axing: "To tell you the truth, this servant was originally working in Piku, and last evening he secretly resold the fur goods from the palace—"
When Dou Axing heard this, he became impatient, kowtowed his head a few times and said: "I am wronged, I am wronged!"
"If you talk nonsense, the crime will be aggravated!" Nanye glared at him.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
It is not uncommon for servants to bring "private goods" out of the palace, and it is no longer a new thing.
The imperial concubine guessed that there was something hidden in it, otherwise her own emperor would not be so motivating.
Raising his hand to interrupt Nanye, he said to Xiangjiu, "Crook your neck, tell me."
Crooked neck?
Xiangjiu was surprised by the title of this sensitive person, and pretended to be as timid as a mouse.
Keba said: "The slave doesn't know what happened.
Yesterday evening, the servant helped Dou Axing push a cart of leather goods to Xihua Gate and left. He was not far away when he was surrounded by a team of guards. Fang went back to inquire, and then he was arrested and taken to the Department of Punishment . "
When she said this, she seemed to be extremely frightened, and her body began to tremble.
He also imitated that Dou Axing, kowtowed his head again and again, which made his brain ache.
"Xiang Jiu, you are talking nonsense!"
Dou Axing's canthus cracked.
He finally understood that Xiang Jiu was deliberately framing him.From the first day they met, Xiang Jiu waited for him to dance at Zhang Jibu Well.
It is he who is too stupid.
This Xiangjiu is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin." Mu Surao finally spoke.
Dou Axing was startled suddenly and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
But his hand roughly grabbed Xiang Jiu's neckline.
Xiangjiu once again showed her ability of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and put two tears on her lovable face.
Everyone will sigh when they see it.
Mu Surao is not calm anymore, dog slave, isn't this going to bully my family, Rong Luo?
Concubine Meng is not calm anymore, you dare to insult the people of the Ai family.
They both said in unison.
"stop!"
"stop!"
After speaking, they all had a meal.
The eyes looking at each other are full of complexity.
king's wrath
Mu Surao thought to herself, with Xiangjiu's white and tender appearance, Concubine Meng must have had something wrong.
Concubine Meng thought to herself, what is the imperial master doing to protect a little eunuch for no reason?
Could it be that he fell in love with her like her?
No, no, the prince has kept himself clean for many years, so he won't be so uncontrollable.
Therefore, each looked at each other with a touch of scrutiny and suspicion.
All kinds of emotions are hoarded in the heart, radiate from the inside to the outside, and infect everyone around us.
The atmosphere became extremely strange.
Fortunately, they are all old fritters who have been on the front line of Gongdou. Even though their hearts are turbulent, their faces are still calm.
The imperial concubine continued her cooperating work, scolding Dou Axing: "Presumptuous, disrespectful before driving, what's the intention!"
That's a big hat.
The translation is: actually using force in front of the Holy One, it is impossible to seek rebellion!
Dou Axing immediately let go of Xiangjiu, grabbed the ground with his head, sweated profusely, and shouted "Damn the servant".
Seeing him trembling, Mu Surao reckoned that his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse.
well.
She tilted her body to one side, and the summer breeze blew up, causing ripples in the hem of her concubine-colored skirt.
She pretended to glance at Nanye casually.
Nanye understood, and said sharply: "Since you know you deserve to die, why don't you bring the matter to the fore."
After a pause, he continued, "Why did you have to transport the fur goods out of the palace yesterday?"
Dou Axing breathed tremblingly: "This, this..."
Xiangjiu tilted his neck, and said with a confused face: "The servant is also strange. Yesterday at You hour, the palace gate was about to drop the key. I advised Brother Ah Xing to give it away tomorrow. But he didn't listen, he was very anxious."
Her behavior like this is undoubtedly worse.
Dou Axing also understood that Xiang is probably Mu Suluo's man, otherwise why would he dig a hole for him to jump in.
It's time to be lenient in confession and stricter in resistance.
He compromised at once, his legs went limp, and he lay down obediently on the ground.
There are four large characters written on the forehead, "There is nothing to love in life".
The queen mother who remained silent could no longer take it calmly.
He said with deep meaning: "Be honest and explain clearly, otherwise the harm to the family will not be worth the loss."
The key word "disaster and family members" is very clear in her pronunciation.
Mu Surao's smile became colder, and she changed from her domineering and domineering past, and said softly: "I can clearly see the truth, and I can tell the difference between black and white. If you tell the truth, I will punish you lightly."
Xiang Jiu didn't believe this, but Dou Axing believed it.
He took a deep breath, kneeled to Mu Surao's feet, and said with tears in his eyes: "This slave is not someone who commits crimes and evil, please forgive me, my lord."
Then, a key person was recruited—Wen Bao.
Taking this person as the center, it tells the ins and outs of the case from point to point.
Simply put—
Someone deliberately framed Mu Surao.
Because I know that Mu Surao will go to the study room every first day of every month to ask the princes and princesses about their homework.
So he bought Wen Bao and asked him to look for opportunities to make a fuss about Mu Su Rao and Mu Su Ting.
On that day, Wen Bao boiled the teacup in boiling water beforehand, and when he presented it to Mu Surao, Mu Surao threw away his hands because it was too hot to eat.
The tea was poured on Mu Suting.
At that time, the crowd was in chaos, and the broken teacup was kicked to pieces, leaving no physical evidence.
"What a cruel thought! What a guts!" The imperial concubine broke the Buddhist beads, and the emerald beads rolled on the ground.
As we all know, although Mu Surao and Mu Suting are siblings, there is an enmity with the throne between them.
As soon as this incident happened, there were quite a few complaints from the previous court, especially the speech officials were not forgiving.
Fortunately, Mu Surao is a calm emperor, coupled with the matriarchal influence, they temporarily smoothed the muddy water.
It can be said that the officials are all sticklers, and when they come to their senses, it will definitely be another tough battle.
How could the powerful imperial concubines not know, and ordered Nanye: "Hurry up and arrest Wen Bao."
Nanye took the order and hurried away with a few guards.
Concubine Meng advised her not to get angry and to take a sip of tea.
Concubine Duan saw the opportunity for revenge coming, so she naturally refused to let it go, she grabbed the veil and asked Dou Axing to speak more clearly.
Dou Axing said honestly: "Afterwards, Wen Bao was terrified, because he had always been on good terms with me, so he ordered the servant to hide the money he received in leather goods, and send it to Liulichang on the night of August [-]th, where it will be stored again after changing hands. Into the bank..."
It can be seen from this that Wen Bao is comparable to Diao Nu among Diao Nu.
When he came, none of the old concubines gave him a good face.
Only Mu Surao smiled in a half-smile, looking extraordinarily amiable.
With his thin back stretched, Wen Bao hit him a thousand times, and shouted "Prince, good luck".
But in the next moment, he was unlucky.
Mu Su waved his sleeves, summoned the imperial guards, dragged him to one side with forty sticks.
Halfway through the fight, the imperial concubine, who used to eat fast and chant Buddha, thought that his sins were too serious, and wanted to clear up his karma for him.
Mu Xiaozi Su Rao fulfilled the wishes of his mother and concubine, and rewarded Wen Bao with another fifty slaps.
It was called a bloody mess.
Let everyone who watched the whole process understand what is called the wrath of the emperor.
Among them, Xiang Jiu is the most engraved in my heart.
Wen Bao's eyes were staring, and his ears were buzzing under the heavy blows over and over again.
If you continue to fight, you will die.
On August [-]th, the sky is bright and clear, and it is not suitable to kill people.Like a lazy kitten, Mu Surao lazily said: "Stop."
The guards complied, dragging Wen Bao, like an old dog that has been drowning, and dragging him all the way to Xiang Jiu's side.
Like a ghost, Xiangjiu moved a little to the side.
Mu Surao secretly laughed, and said secretly, a worthless little thing.
Concubine Duan walked towards Wen Bao, and said straight to the point: "Say, who ordered you to frame the prince, the fifth prince!"
The answer is obvious.
Mu Su Raogui is the king of a country, and there are only two people who can suppress her.One is the imperial concubine, and the other is the empress dowager.
The imperial concubine is her adoptive mother, who has always loved her very much, and has an alliance with her.
As for the Queen Mother...
He has always been at odds with her, and a few days ago he broke through his adulterous relationship with Prince Long, adding to the old hatred.
Wen Bao did the same, tremblingly raised his fingertips, and pointed at the Queen Mother.
puff.
Mu Surao smiled.
The queen mother jumped up like a firework box, and said with a ferocious face: "You, who instructed you to slander Ai's family."
What a feeble sophistry.
Concubine Duan also raised the corners of her lips, but it was only with a flick of a finger.
But for her, it was enough. At this moment, she straightened her head like a winner.
She sought justice for herself and her son.
But that's it.
She is a mere concubine, and she has no strength to compete with her to participate in the next thing.It's better to leave it to the emperor's son, after all, he is also one of the victims.
After returning to the square table that belonged to her, she sat down.
The Empress Dowager continued her performance, with both voice and emotion, which was wonderful and compelling.
She even imitated Xiang Jiu and squeezed out two tears, crying to let Mu Surao decide for her.
Immediately, a Shih Tzu held her heart in her hands, and she was out of breath, as if she was about to die.
The nanny who served her hurriedly rushed up to support her.
If you want to conduct the annual selection of Gongdou Daxie, there must be nominations for this situation and this scene.
Mu Surao smiled unkindly again.
The eyebrows and eyes are curved, like peach blossoms in full bloom.
She was in a happy mood, but the imperial concubine might not be there.
After all, counting up to three generations, she and the queen mother are the same old ancestor, sisters with broken bones and tendons.
The sisters and the emperor's son have fleshy palms and backs.
And the queen mother is also Mu Surao's nominal mother.People say that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, and the mother plotted against her daughter, and spread the news about where her Tian family's face would be.
"Emperor."
She took Mu Surao's hand and squeezed her palm.
"I'm tired of mourning my family."
The meaning is obvious: adjourn the meeting.
Mu Surao's smiling face froze, expressing his displeasure, he managed to catch the Queen Mother's fox tail, so he should gear up and pursue the victory.
She had been fighting with King Longqi for ten years, so she happened to use this matter to give this powerful traitor a big blow.
A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to remind her again: "I'm tired of mourning my family."
She seemed to have a headache from the noise, and rubbed the corners of her eyebrows.
Now, Mu Surao had no choice but to obey, and followed the words of the imperial concubine: "The emperor will send you back to rest."
Nan Ye shouted out: "Mr. Xuan."
Concubine Meng and Concubine Duan looked at each other, each of them seized the opportunity to get up, and said something to the queen mother, intending to go with the empress dowager.
Just gone?
Xiang Jiu was flustered, and grabbed Mu Su Rao's skirt and did not let go.
Mu Surao lowered her eyes, only to remember that Xiang Jiu had revealed her identity.As soon as she left, the two wolves, the queen mother and Dou Axing, would surely gnaw Xiangjiu down to bones and dregs.
It is not the work of a gentleman to cross a river and tear down a bridge.
Mu Surao wanted to stay.With her around, no one would dare to bully Xiang Jiu.
But if this is the case, it seems that she is not filial to her mother and concubine.
Nan Ye saw her embarrassment clearly.
He thought that it was normal for the prince to be a little overwhelmed when he encountered love for the first time.
Many times, many people choose between "love and family affection".
But there he is!
His existence is to solve problems for the prince.
I saw him jerk his head back, and said handsomely and aggressively: "God son, go with dad.",
This time, Xiang Jiu got a reason to leave this place.
She is no longer a lowly slave of Xinzheku, but the successor of the chief eunuch, who has enough status to leave with her honorable masters.
Yi Ma slipped on the back of Nanye's buttocks, took small steps, and stepped off the road.
After watching them drift away, the queen mother was so anxious that her head swelled and she swept a table of tea and snacks all over the floor.
The servants beside him were startled and terrified, shrunk their shoulders, and kept silent like cicadas.
Waiting for her to deal with betraying her Wen Bao and Dou Axing.
But she laughed back in anger, and said with an inscrutable attitude: "It's better for the emperor to personally send them down."
Saying that, he sent people to escort them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait, and left by himself from the other side.
Mu Surao at this end had just accompanied the old mothers out of the west gate of Qiongyuan in the imperial garden.
Holding the arm of the imperial concubine, her gaze was as cold as a knife, cutting Nanye one by one.
It proved the sentence "If eyes can kill, Nanye has died a hundred times".
Nanye couldn't figure it out, why was he rejected by the prince when he kindly helped the prince to solve the problem?
He scratched his head, glanced at Xiangjiu, who was striding forward with his neck crooked, handcuffed and fettered... he had an epiphany!
He recognized the emperor's master's male favorite as his godson, isn't he recognizing the emperor's master as his daughter in disguise?
A generation of emperors unexpectedly had an eunuch as their father...
It's over, it's a big disaster!
Small goal
After sending back the imperial concubine, Mu Surao went to Shou'an Palace to visit the Fifth Emperor's younger brother Mu Suting. After playing with him in the front yard for a while, he comforted Concubine Duan.
She said: "This time, Brother Wuhuang has suffered a lot."
Concubine Duan looked at her son squatting under the silk tree and digging loach with distress: "As long as the prince remembers him in his heart, it's okay to work hard."
Mu Surao snorted and said "um", ending the diplomatic rhetoric between each other.
She returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as he entered Xinuange, he was thinking about how to deal with Nanye's old eunuch.
Nan Ye is an old eunuch with rich work experience, and has served Mu Su Rao for ten years.
There is still a tacit understanding between master and servant.
As soon as Mu Surao rolled his eyes, he knew that he probably wanted to give him good fruit.
With an idea, he pulls his godson Xiangjiu out to ward off the disaster.
"My lord," Nanye said aggrievedly, "it's the little master Xiang who usually uses the name of a slave to bluff and cheat, and this slave will use his tricks."
It seems... so reasonable.
Mu Surao secretly scolded Nanye for becoming more and more proficient in his four-two-two-stroke technique.
A simple sentence filled her heart with anger.
Really too bad.
She walked around into the ebony desk, picked up a memorial, flipped through it, and put it back casually.
"Where's Xiang Jiu?"
Nan Ye turned her neck left and right, only to realize that Xiang Jiu was not there.
Strange.Isn't this little guy always on the back of his ass?
He raised a flattering smile to Mu Surao: "Maybe I'm waiting outside, but my servant sent her in."
While talking, he retreated to the door curtain and called out Xiang Jiu's name in a shrill voice.
But no one came.
When he arrived, he yelled again.
Still no one came.
Nan Ye was a little bit impatient, afraid that Mu Surao would take advantage of the situation and vent all the anger he had just suppressed.
"hey-hey,
Left and right, up and down.
After wiping one after another, I would chat with Fu Mo'er, who is "also a fallen person in the end of the world" from time to time.
Fu Moer was crawling on the ground, checking the bottom of the tank for charcoal ash left over from the winter.
Blow once in a while.
Dye a snowy face into a tabby cat.
After half a day, both of them were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs, so they called the companions to go to Tatan for dinner.
This goes.
shocked!
Confused!
Doubt is alive!
The meal is called a sumptuous one.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.Frying, cooking, frying and steaming are all available.
It is completely comparable to the young masters of the palaces.
"Surprise" is always followed by "joy".
The eunuchs and court ladies were overwhelmed with gratitude, rushing to the table, breaking off duck wings and grabbing chicken legs... The scene was quite tragic.
Fu Mo'er's stomach was growling with hunger, and she was not stage frightened after seeing this battle, so she rolled up her sleeves and joined the melee.
Xiangjiu: It must be the emperor's son who did it again.
She was still in a daze at the door, wondering if the imperial lord was so kind to her, and whether he had come up with the idea of pampering her again.
How do you say that?
"If you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture her stomach."
Prince, this is what he wants both physically and mentally!
Xiangjiu grabbed her neckline, shaking like chaff.
Fu Mo'er held up a big pig's trotter and handed it to her: "Brother, eat quickly, or it will be gone."
Xiangjiu looked at the shiny thing, and took a deep breath of its fragrance.
But with a painful and tangled face: No, I can't eat, and I can't fall into the trap of the prince's love.
After finally eating a good meal, I was still moaning.
Fu Mo'er watched impatiently, her nose, eyes and mouth were twisted into a ball, she picked up the pig's trotter and stuffed it into Xiang Jiu's mouth.
Xiang Jiu's eyes trembled: ah, this pig's trotter is really delicious.
With enough meat and food, it's time to return to work.
As soon as he entered the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony through the right wing gate, he saw a eunuch had arrived early and was working around an auspicious jar.
It was noon, and the sun was very strong, and the clothes were hot from the heat.
Everyone will be lazy for a while at this time.
Is this man stupid.
Xiang Jiu and Fu Mo'er walked in and found that it was Dou Axing.
"Brother Ah Xing, why are you here~" Xiang Jiu called him sweetly.
This sound sounded like a brothel woman who hadn't opened for a year and was in urgent need of money.
Let Fu Mo'er mistakenly think that Xiang Jiu wants to sacrifice herself on the spot.
Dou Axing said with a smile: "I went to Xinzheku to look for you. They said you came here, so I came here to wait for you... Anyway, I am idle, so I will help you with work."
"... How embarrassing that is."
"It's okay, it's okay, you didn't treat me to a lot of good wine and food that night."
Xiang Jiu hummed, which was his approval.
"By the way, what do you want from me." Seeing that she was almost polite, she said straight to the point.
Dou Axing hurriedly took out a small copper box from his waist: "I counted the leather goods in the leather warehouse these two days, because the backlog is too long and smelly, so I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some incense and smoke it, and I got more I've got some, and I'll bring it to you."
Xiangjiu moved the tips of her ears, took the copper box, opened it, looked at it, and smiled innocently.
I would like to express my most sincere thanks to Dou Axing.
Then he asked about his leather goods.
Dou Axing only thought it was a greeting between friends, and answered them one by one. At first, he wanted to reciprocate and care about Xiangjiu's work situation, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to ask about brushing the bucket.
Just do it.
Before leaving, he took a second look at Fu Mo'er, and felt that this girl looked familiar.
Fu Mo'er generously let him see.
Dou Axing was embarrassed by his calm appearance.
Sorry for making a laugh.
As a qualified spy, one must have the most basic "sensitivity".
This inexplicable feeling is similar to a woman's sixth sense.
It allows people to make bold inferences or judgments from clues.
Xiangjiu is a master and a woman, so she has both a sixth sense and a keen sense.
In the past few days, after she finished her work, she would go to the Piku to help Dou Axing smoke the leather goods, because she could smell the storm coming.
In Dou Axing's eyes, this is a further proof of his friendship with Xiangjiu.
In Xiangjiu's eyes, this is the foreshadowing for him to frame Dou Axing.
No matter what the foreshadowing is, there will be an end.
The days passed, and it was mid-August. Seeing that the moon was about to be full, Xiangjiu waited for an opportunity.
In the evening, when the key of the palace gate was about to be released, Dou Axing and Xiang Jiu packed all the fur goods that had finally been smoked into boxes and loaded them onto the cart.
He hurriedly pushed it towards the Xihua Gate.I want to seize the time to send things out of the palace.
This is not an easy job, as soon as they ran down, both of them were out of breath.
Fu Mo'er has been quietly following them all the way to Xihua Gate, hiding behind the wall, poking out half of her head to peek...
Seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around and ran towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
In front of the gate of the hall, I met a eunuch in tea-green clothes with a bat-pattern patch on his chest.
Xiangjiu had told her earlier that there was only one person in the Hall of Mental Cultivation dressed in this way, named Jing Xi, and told her to remember it.
"Eunuch Jing Xi." Fu Mo'er called him.
Jing Xi followed the sound and saw that it was a beautiful little maid: "Do you know me?"
Before Fu Mo'er could explain further, she took out a letter: "My brother asked me to deliver the letter..."
"Your brother?"
"Yes, my brother, Xiang Jiu."
Jing Xi looked at the envelope without a word, wondering: "Did you say who it was for?"
"No. She said to hand over the letter to you, and you naturally know who to give it to."
That should be for the prince.
Jing Xi combined the two people's "flirting" that night to think about it.
It is decisively determined that this is a letter of love from Xiangjiu to the emperor's son.
"Okay, I'll send it in right now."
thought
Dou Axing and Xiangjiu were arrested for reselling palace property.
Therefore, Xiang Jiu came to the Punishment Division for the third time.
Came here three times in two months.It can be called the No.1 Forbidden City, not only breaking the previous records, but also creating history.
The so-called "Once born, second familiar, three times, four times are friends".
This time, the big guys obviously have a lot of closeness to her, from the cellmate on the left to the eunuch on duty, all of them greeted her with smiles.
Created a sense of home comfort for her.
The reason is that the steward here is still the steward whose thigh was branded by Fu Aichou. Since then, he has always been annoyed and treated Xiangjiu harshly, fearing that the imperial master would blame him.
This time, he made up his mind to give five-star service to this "imperial master's male favourite".
Xiang Jiu stood in the middle of the cell, looking up at the small palm-sized window.Relaxed and took a deep breath, sighed and said, um, it’s still a familiar smell——
There is a musty smell in the damp.
The eunuch who saw her off asked, "Brother Xiang, this cell faces south and is warm in winter and cool in summer. Are you satisfied with it?"
Xiangjiu clicked her lips, but said nothing.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Why don't you go and choose again, there is another one in front, which is transparent from north to south, I'm sure you will like it at a glance."
Xiangjiu patted him on the shoulder in relief, almost boasting that a child can be taught: "Let's go."
Dou Axing: "..."
He was about to lift his heels up, but the eunuch changed his face in an instant, stared blankly at him, and said viciously: "You just stay here!"
Xiang Jiu also said: "Brother Ah Xing, I have wronged you."
After speaking, he turned a corner in the dark corridor and disappeared.
Dou Axing was a bit unbelievable. He had heard that the Punishment Department was a place where people cannibalize people. Why is Xiangjiu so popular?
Holding his restlessly beating heart, he felt cold all over his body.
Fear spread along the heart veins to the limbs.
Xiang Jiu finally sat down in the cell that was transparent from north to south.
The moonlight came in directly, jumping on the dry grass on the ground, and the cold cell was getting colder and colder.
The eunuch made her a pot of tea.She took a sip, closed her eyes and calmed down.
Raising his hand, the eunuch retreated.
This leisurely and comfortable behavior does not look like a low-class eunuch, but a spoiled and expensive son of a rich family.
Her feathery eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Think back to what happened tonight.
According to the plan, she will accompany Dou Axing to push a cart of leather goods to Xihua Gate, and then Dou Axing will leave the palace to contact the store.
Anyone who leaves the palace has always had to do three things.
One is to have received the imperial palace badge from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The second is to hand in the tooth card next to the palace gate for registration.The third is to take the ticket and leave the palace with it.
She asked Dou Axing to push the cart to the palace gate first on the grounds that the cart was occupying the road.
She went to register for tickets.
Dou Axing is right when he thinks about it, this is the moment when the palace gate is locked, when people come and go, a car of leather goods can easily block the way of others.
He trusted her, and handed her the waist badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his tooth badge, telling her to go quickly.
And since she left, she hasn't returned for a long time...
At the same time, Fu Mo'er also sent the letter to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Mu Surao opened the letter and saw that the time had come. He ordered Nanye to go to Xihuamen, and ordered Dou A, the guard guarding the gate. Xing won.
Of course, it is not just to take it casually, but to pay attention to factual evidence.
When the leader of the guard led a group of men to surround Dou Axing, he was still waiting for Xiangjiu eagerly.
The leader of the guard army asked, who is staying here?
Dou Axing replied, Piku Dou Axing.
The leader of the guard army followed the principle of convincing people with reason, and asked him to hand over his tooth card to prove his identity.
Dou Axing couldn't get it out.
The leader of the guards said again, then take a look at the badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Dou Axing couldn't get it either.
The leader of the guard immediately narrowed his eyes.
This is a red flag.
Dou Axing was afraid that the guards would be serious, so anxious as ants on a hot pot, he explained incoherently.
At the critical moment, Xiangjiu came back.
Dou Axing was happier seeing her than seeing her parents, so she asked her to quickly take out the dental badge and give it to the guards for interrogation.
Xiangjiu opened his eyes in bewilderment, and said, "What the hell?"
This is nothing more than worse.
The leader of the guard army decided that Dou Axing was reselling the property in the palace, so he was arrested without saying a word.
Xiangjiu was identified as an accomplice, and they were taken to the Punishment Department together.
Nan Ye hurried back and replied: "My lord, it's done!"
Mu Surao was standing on the porch, as if waiting for him, softly said "um".
She caressed the warmth in her arms, the little guy dozed off as soon as he reached the tip of the willow on the moon.
Sleep leisurely and comfortably.
"...Where is Xiangjiu?" She asked this question after a long time, her voice was still very soft, as if she didn't care much.
But his eyes glanced around and landed on Nanye.
Nan Ye replied: "I've been arrested and taken to the Criminal Justice Department."
He turned around: "The slave will go and fetch her out now."
While talking, he shook his whisk and ran away.
"Come back!" Mu Surao said.
Nan Ye stopped, and turned around flexibly: "Is there any order from the emperor?"
Mu Surao turned her back calmly and entered the Nuan Pavilion with Nuan Rongrong in her arms.
Nanye followed closely.
"Help me with an idea."
Inside the Nuan Pavilion, there is a faint fragrance floating, thin smoke lingers around, and Mu Surao's graceful figure is hazy.
She only spoke half of what she said, obviously trying to let Nanye guess her mind first and cater to her.
Nanye said sensiblely, "About Miss Xiang?"
"Ah."
Nanye's brain was spinning rapidly, combined with tonight's events, he figured out: "You want to reward Xiang Xiaozhu."
The words reached his lips, but before he could say them, he choked them.
No, you can't say that.
Since the prince asked, he wanted me to bring this up.
Then he changed his words and said: "The slave thinks that although the matter is not yet completed, it is just around the corner to return your innocence. Young Master Xiang has contributed a lot this time and should be rewarded heavily."
"How to reward?"
"It's better... transfer her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve you."
Mu Surao showed a comfortable smile, secretly boasting that Nan Ye is really a rare and transparent slave!
Nanye also mentioned this earlier, but she vetoed it.
At that time she was guilty.
After all, she failed Rong Luo back then, and when she saw Xiang Jiu's face, she felt uncomfortable.
But as time goes on, I always want to see this face.
Probably in response to the old saying, "Habits become nature".
But the face is still serious: "Well, Xin Zheku is really hard, so let's do it like this."
Nan Ye correctly guessed the holy will, and let go of his suspended heart: "This slave will go to draw up the decree."
After a stick of incense, he came back with the imperial decree he had prepared, and asked Mu Surao to have a look.
Obviously, Mu Surao was very satisfied, stepped on the wheel ladder, put the imperial decree on the high shelf, and placed it with Rong Luo's portrait.
She stood on the top of the wheel ladder with her hands behind her back.
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he was walking around.
Nanny Qiongyu came from the hallway door, crouched down and said, "My lord, it's late at night, let's settle down earlier."
Mu Surao is in the right mood, without sleepiness at all, tossing and waking up the warmth in her arms, insisting on letting it accompany her for a while.
Nuan Rongrong really cooperated, turning out her white and fluffy belly and twisting it.
Mu Surao was amused.
But Mother Qiongyu urged her again, so she had to go back to the bedroom with Nuan Rongrong first.
Nan Ye raised her voice and shouted: "Princess...Xiang Xiaozhu is still staying in the Punishment Department."
"Stay, just stay." It's not my Rong Luo who suffered in that ghostly place.
Nanye: I seem to be a bit confused.
Xiangjiu stayed in the Punishment Department for another night,
Because she came too late and missed the meal, the Department of Punishment gave her the decapitated meal of the cellmate next door.
As before, two meat and two vegetables.
It's true that she's hungry, but she can't grab this kind of food.
Especially that cellmate was still lying on the edge of the cell door, looking at her with pitiful eyes...
I really can't lift my chopsticks.
It was simply returned to others.
She was so hungry that her eyes turned black, and she ate up all the tea and tea leaves in the teapot.
Then fell asleep.
I feel dawn.
The heat of the scorching sun rested on her eyelids, scratching her to open them.
She yawned, stretching her arms like a bird in order to move her muscles...
Click.
There was a crunch on the neck.
Damn, I fell into a stiff neck last night.
She pressed back her sore, swollen and sore neck, and babbled up from the hard bed.
So much so that other inmates who were still asleep couldn't help but curse.
Who the hell got up early in the morning and dangled his throat!
The eunuch who came to pick her up noticed that something was wrong with her, unlocked the big lock, got into the door, helped her get up awkwardly, and took two staggering steps.
He asked, "Brother Xiang, what's the matter with you?"
Xiang Jiu tilted his neck and said, "Don't mention it, I have a stiff neck."
"Oh, what should I do? The emperor sent you and Dou Axing to go to the imperial garden for questioning."
Xiangjiu:! ! !
Her honor is in front of the saint, isn't it disturbing the saint.
But now that the edict has arrived, there is no reason why she shouldn't, and she can't bear the charge of disobeying the edict.
Dilemma, dilemma!
Therefore, she was driven to the rack, put on handcuffs and shackles, and together with Dou Axing, was escorted to the Imperial Garden.
The imperial garden was extremely lively.
From the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, to the concubine Meng and the concubine Duan, all have arrived.
Even masters and servants, a large crowd of people.
Mu Surao nicknamed it "Family Reunion to Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th".
But what everyone doesn't understand is, isn't it all about eating cakes and admiring the moon at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
What to get together early in the morning.
But Mu Surao is the emperor, no matter what he does or says, he is "following the fate of heaven".
No matter how reluctant these old people are, they have to cooperate.
The imperial concubine was the first to bear the brunt: "Ah, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the sun is rounder than before."
Everyone looked at the white cloud dumpling floating in the sky: Where is the sun...?
"Yes, not only round, but also bright!"
"It's really a beautiful scene of peace and prosperity!"
Mu Surao: "..."
clean
Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.
Although Mu Surao got goosebumps when he heard the old mothers' flattery, but it's not good to refute their face.
He listened to the whole scene with a smirk like a king, and catered for a few words from time to time.
The one who caters the most is the imperial concubine.
He praised and said: "Without the careful teaching of the mother and concubine for many years, how could the emperor be able to govern the country and create this peaceful and prosperous world."
The imperial concubine smiled subtly, and said: "The so-called starting a family and starting a career, it's time for you to establish a Huangjun."
That's a really long way to go.
Mu Su rolled his eyes in his heart.
Simply turn a deaf ear to it and ask Concubine Duan: "Is Fifth Emperor's injury better?"
"...well, much better."
As a veteran of Gongdou, Concubine Duan only panicked for a moment, then continued calmly and calmly: "I'm sorry for the emperor's lord, Ting'er is mostly healed, and the imperial hospital is very dedicated."
At that time, Nanye came.
He climbed into the pavilion from the stepping path, with a round figure, like a kicking ball jumping up and down.
After asking the old masters one by one, Fang said: "Prince, the man is here."
This "person" refers to Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing.
Mu Su hummed a long tone.Tactful and cozy.
All the old concubines, look at me and I look at you, as if to say, just watch, and you will know that there is a good show to watch.
Only one person was uncomfortable - the Queen Mother.
Mu Surao had a panoramic view of their expressions, especially after seeing the empress dowager's old face, she felt particularly at ease.
She raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and asked Nanye to bring him up.
Nanye took the order, waved his fly whisk, and shouted downwards.
Then I heard the sound of the shackles rubbing, rattling, rattling.
From far to near.
Everyone put down the refreshments in their hands and stretched their necks to look around.
I saw two eunuchs stepping up the stone steps.
One has dark skin and a tall figure.Like a door panel.
One... with a crooked neck.Like a retard.
Mu Surao: "..."
Concubine Meng and Concubine Duan couldn't sit still.
The former's eyes were shining, like a female fairy staring at Tang Seng, staring at Xiangjiu with thin skin and tender flesh.
I sigh secretly that this is a stunner in the world.
The latter is simply a guilty conscience.It's strange why Xiangjiu was arrested. Could it be that the matter of seeking justice for her was exposed?
"Slave, please be safe with the emperor." Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing were kicked to the ground by the guards.
Mu Surao didn't answer, the old god brought the cup of tea, blew on it lightly, and took a sip.
She was silent for a long time.
Like a very patient hunter.
Give everyone time to think about it.
Among them, the imperial concubine has no ghosts in her heart.
So he started calmly, looked at Xiang Jiu and Dou Axing who were still lying on the ground, and said, "Tell me, why did you offend Sheng Yan!"
It was Nanye who answered.
He smiled and pointed at Dou Axing: "To tell you the truth, this servant was originally working in Piku, and last evening he secretly resold the fur goods from the palace—"
When Dou Axing heard this, he became impatient, kowtowed his head a few times and said: "I am wronged, I am wronged!"
"If you talk nonsense, the crime will be aggravated!" Nanye glared at him.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
It is not uncommon for servants to bring "private goods" out of the palace, and it is no longer a new thing.
The imperial concubine guessed that there was something hidden in it, otherwise her own emperor would not be so motivating.
Raising his hand to interrupt Nanye, he said to Xiangjiu, "Crook your neck, tell me."
Crooked neck?
Xiangjiu was surprised by the title of this sensitive person, and pretended to be as timid as a mouse.
Keba said: "The slave doesn't know what happened.
Yesterday evening, the servant helped Dou Axing push a cart of leather goods to Xihua Gate and left. He was not far away when he was surrounded by a team of guards. Fang went back to inquire, and then he was arrested and taken to the Department of Punishment . "
When she said this, she seemed to be extremely frightened, and her body began to tremble.
He also imitated that Dou Axing, kowtowed his head again and again, which made his brain ache.
"Xiang Jiu, you are talking nonsense!"
Dou Axing's canthus cracked.
He finally understood that Xiang Jiu was deliberately framing him.From the first day they met, Xiang Jiu waited for him to dance at Zhang Jibu Well.
It is he who is too stupid.
This Xiangjiu is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin." Mu Surao finally spoke.
Dou Axing was startled suddenly and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
But his hand roughly grabbed Xiang Jiu's neckline.
Xiangjiu once again showed her ability of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and put two tears on her lovable face.
Everyone will sigh when they see it.
Mu Surao is not calm anymore, dog slave, isn't this going to bully my family, Rong Luo?
Concubine Meng is not calm anymore, you dare to insult the people of the Ai family.
They both said in unison.
"stop!"
"stop!"
After speaking, they all had a meal.
The eyes looking at each other are full of complexity.
king's wrath
Mu Surao thought to herself, with Xiangjiu's white and tender appearance, Concubine Meng must have had something wrong.
Concubine Meng thought to herself, what is the imperial master doing to protect a little eunuch for no reason?
Could it be that he fell in love with her like her?
No, no, the prince has kept himself clean for many years, so he won't be so uncontrollable.
Therefore, each looked at each other with a touch of scrutiny and suspicion.
All kinds of emotions are hoarded in the heart, radiate from the inside to the outside, and infect everyone around us.
The atmosphere became extremely strange.
Fortunately, they are all old fritters who have been on the front line of Gongdou. Even though their hearts are turbulent, their faces are still calm.
The imperial concubine continued her cooperating work, scolding Dou Axing: "Presumptuous, disrespectful before driving, what's the intention!"
That's a big hat.
The translation is: actually using force in front of the Holy One, it is impossible to seek rebellion!
Dou Axing immediately let go of Xiangjiu, grabbed the ground with his head, sweated profusely, and shouted "Damn the servant".
Seeing him trembling, Mu Surao reckoned that his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse.
well.
She tilted her body to one side, and the summer breeze blew up, causing ripples in the hem of her concubine-colored skirt.
She pretended to glance at Nanye casually.
Nanye understood, and said sharply: "Since you know you deserve to die, why don't you bring the matter to the fore."
After a pause, he continued, "Why did you have to transport the fur goods out of the palace yesterday?"
Dou Axing breathed tremblingly: "This, this..."
Xiangjiu tilted his neck, and said with a confused face: "The servant is also strange. Yesterday at You hour, the palace gate was about to drop the key. I advised Brother Ah Xing to give it away tomorrow. But he didn't listen, he was very anxious."
Her behavior like this is undoubtedly worse.
Dou Axing also understood that Xiang is probably Mu Suluo's man, otherwise why would he dig a hole for him to jump in.
It's time to be lenient in confession and stricter in resistance.
He compromised at once, his legs went limp, and he lay down obediently on the ground.
There are four large characters written on the forehead, "There is nothing to love in life".
The queen mother who remained silent could no longer take it calmly.
He said with deep meaning: "Be honest and explain clearly, otherwise the harm to the family will not be worth the loss."
The key word "disaster and family members" is very clear in her pronunciation.
Mu Surao's smile became colder, and she changed from her domineering and domineering past, and said softly: "I can clearly see the truth, and I can tell the difference between black and white. If you tell the truth, I will punish you lightly."
Xiang Jiu didn't believe this, but Dou Axing believed it.
He took a deep breath, kneeled to Mu Surao's feet, and said with tears in his eyes: "This slave is not someone who commits crimes and evil, please forgive me, my lord."
Then, a key person was recruited—Wen Bao.
Taking this person as the center, it tells the ins and outs of the case from point to point.
Simply put—
Someone deliberately framed Mu Surao.
Because I know that Mu Surao will go to the study room every first day of every month to ask the princes and princesses about their homework.
So he bought Wen Bao and asked him to look for opportunities to make a fuss about Mu Su Rao and Mu Su Ting.
On that day, Wen Bao boiled the teacup in boiling water beforehand, and when he presented it to Mu Surao, Mu Surao threw away his hands because it was too hot to eat.
The tea was poured on Mu Suting.
At that time, the crowd was in chaos, and the broken teacup was kicked to pieces, leaving no physical evidence.
"What a cruel thought! What a guts!" The imperial concubine broke the Buddhist beads, and the emerald beads rolled on the ground.
As we all know, although Mu Surao and Mu Suting are siblings, there is an enmity with the throne between them.
As soon as this incident happened, there were quite a few complaints from the previous court, especially the speech officials were not forgiving.
Fortunately, Mu Surao is a calm emperor, coupled with the matriarchal influence, they temporarily smoothed the muddy water.
It can be said that the officials are all sticklers, and when they come to their senses, it will definitely be another tough battle.
How could the powerful imperial concubines not know, and ordered Nanye: "Hurry up and arrest Wen Bao."
Nanye took the order and hurried away with a few guards.
Concubine Meng advised her not to get angry and to take a sip of tea.
Concubine Duan saw the opportunity for revenge coming, so she naturally refused to let it go, she grabbed the veil and asked Dou Axing to speak more clearly.
Dou Axing said honestly: "Afterwards, Wen Bao was terrified, because he had always been on good terms with me, so he ordered the servant to hide the money he received in leather goods, and send it to Liulichang on the night of August [-]th, where it will be stored again after changing hands. Into the bank..."
It can be seen from this that Wen Bao is comparable to Diao Nu among Diao Nu.
When he came, none of the old concubines gave him a good face.
Only Mu Surao smiled in a half-smile, looking extraordinarily amiable.
With his thin back stretched, Wen Bao hit him a thousand times, and shouted "Prince, good luck".
But in the next moment, he was unlucky.
Mu Su waved his sleeves, summoned the imperial guards, dragged him to one side with forty sticks.
Halfway through the fight, the imperial concubine, who used to eat fast and chant Buddha, thought that his sins were too serious, and wanted to clear up his karma for him.
Mu Xiaozi Su Rao fulfilled the wishes of his mother and concubine, and rewarded Wen Bao with another fifty slaps.
It was called a bloody mess.
Let everyone who watched the whole process understand what is called the wrath of the emperor.
Among them, Xiang Jiu is the most engraved in my heart.
Wen Bao's eyes were staring, and his ears were buzzing under the heavy blows over and over again.
If you continue to fight, you will die.
On August [-]th, the sky is bright and clear, and it is not suitable to kill people.Like a lazy kitten, Mu Surao lazily said: "Stop."
The guards complied, dragging Wen Bao, like an old dog that has been drowning, and dragging him all the way to Xiang Jiu's side.
Like a ghost, Xiangjiu moved a little to the side.
Mu Surao secretly laughed, and said secretly, a worthless little thing.
Concubine Duan walked towards Wen Bao, and said straight to the point: "Say, who ordered you to frame the prince, the fifth prince!"
The answer is obvious.
Mu Su Raogui is the king of a country, and there are only two people who can suppress her.One is the imperial concubine, and the other is the empress dowager.
The imperial concubine is her adoptive mother, who has always loved her very much, and has an alliance with her.
As for the Queen Mother...
He has always been at odds with her, and a few days ago he broke through his adulterous relationship with Prince Long, adding to the old hatred.
Wen Bao did the same, tremblingly raised his fingertips, and pointed at the Queen Mother.
puff.
Mu Surao smiled.
The queen mother jumped up like a firework box, and said with a ferocious face: "You, who instructed you to slander Ai's family."
What a feeble sophistry.
Concubine Duan also raised the corners of her lips, but it was only with a flick of a finger.
But for her, it was enough. At this moment, she straightened her head like a winner.
She sought justice for herself and her son.
But that's it.
She is a mere concubine, and she has no strength to compete with her to participate in the next thing.It's better to leave it to the emperor's son, after all, he is also one of the victims.
After returning to the square table that belonged to her, she sat down.
The Empress Dowager continued her performance, with both voice and emotion, which was wonderful and compelling.
She even imitated Xiang Jiu and squeezed out two tears, crying to let Mu Surao decide for her.
Immediately, a Shih Tzu held her heart in her hands, and she was out of breath, as if she was about to die.
The nanny who served her hurriedly rushed up to support her.
If you want to conduct the annual selection of Gongdou Daxie, there must be nominations for this situation and this scene.
Mu Surao smiled unkindly again.
The eyebrows and eyes are curved, like peach blossoms in full bloom.
She was in a happy mood, but the imperial concubine might not be there.
After all, counting up to three generations, she and the queen mother are the same old ancestor, sisters with broken bones and tendons.
The sisters and the emperor's son have fleshy palms and backs.
And the queen mother is also Mu Surao's nominal mother.People say that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, and the mother plotted against her daughter, and spread the news about where her Tian family's face would be.
"Emperor."
She took Mu Surao's hand and squeezed her palm.
"I'm tired of mourning my family."
The meaning is obvious: adjourn the meeting.
Mu Surao's smiling face froze, expressing his displeasure, he managed to catch the Queen Mother's fox tail, so he should gear up and pursue the victory.
She had been fighting with King Longqi for ten years, so she happened to use this matter to give this powerful traitor a big blow.
A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to remind her again: "I'm tired of mourning my family."
She seemed to have a headache from the noise, and rubbed the corners of her eyebrows.
Now, Mu Surao had no choice but to obey, and followed the words of the imperial concubine: "The emperor will send you back to rest."
Nan Ye shouted out: "Mr. Xuan."
Concubine Meng and Concubine Duan looked at each other, each of them seized the opportunity to get up, and said something to the queen mother, intending to go with the empress dowager.
Just gone?
Xiang Jiu was flustered, and grabbed Mu Su Rao's skirt and did not let go.
Mu Surao lowered her eyes, only to remember that Xiang Jiu had revealed her identity.As soon as she left, the two wolves, the queen mother and Dou Axing, would surely gnaw Xiangjiu down to bones and dregs.
It is not the work of a gentleman to cross a river and tear down a bridge.
Mu Surao wanted to stay.With her around, no one would dare to bully Xiang Jiu.
But if this is the case, it seems that she is not filial to her mother and concubine.
Nan Ye saw her embarrassment clearly.
He thought that it was normal for the prince to be a little overwhelmed when he encountered love for the first time.
Many times, many people choose between "love and family affection".
But there he is!
His existence is to solve problems for the prince.
I saw him jerk his head back, and said handsomely and aggressively: "God son, go with dad.",
This time, Xiang Jiu got a reason to leave this place.
She is no longer a lowly slave of Xinzheku, but the successor of the chief eunuch, who has enough status to leave with her honorable masters.
Yi Ma slipped on the back of Nanye's buttocks, took small steps, and stepped off the road.
After watching them drift away, the queen mother was so anxious that her head swelled and she swept a table of tea and snacks all over the floor.
The servants beside him were startled and terrified, shrunk their shoulders, and kept silent like cicadas.
Waiting for her to deal with betraying her Wen Bao and Dou Axing.
But she laughed back in anger, and said with an inscrutable attitude: "It's better for the emperor to personally send them down."
Saying that, he sent people to escort them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait, and left by himself from the other side.
Mu Surao at this end had just accompanied the old mothers out of the west gate of Qiongyuan in the imperial garden.
Holding the arm of the imperial concubine, her gaze was as cold as a knife, cutting Nanye one by one.
It proved the sentence "If eyes can kill, Nanye has died a hundred times".
Nanye couldn't figure it out, why was he rejected by the prince when he kindly helped the prince to solve the problem?
He scratched his head, glanced at Xiangjiu, who was striding forward with his neck crooked, handcuffed and fettered... he had an epiphany!
He recognized the emperor's master's male favorite as his godson, isn't he recognizing the emperor's master as his daughter in disguise?
A generation of emperors unexpectedly had an eunuch as their father...
It's over, it's a big disaster!
Small goal
After sending back the imperial concubine, Mu Surao went to Shou'an Palace to visit the Fifth Emperor's younger brother Mu Suting. After playing with him in the front yard for a while, he comforted Concubine Duan.
She said: "This time, Brother Wuhuang has suffered a lot."
Concubine Duan looked at her son squatting under the silk tree and digging loach with distress: "As long as the prince remembers him in his heart, it's okay to work hard."
Mu Surao snorted and said "um", ending the diplomatic rhetoric between each other.
She returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as he entered Xinuange, he was thinking about how to deal with Nanye's old eunuch.
Nan Ye is an old eunuch with rich work experience, and has served Mu Su Rao for ten years.
There is still a tacit understanding between master and servant.
As soon as Mu Surao rolled his eyes, he knew that he probably wanted to give him good fruit.
With an idea, he pulls his godson Xiangjiu out to ward off the disaster.
"My lord," Nanye said aggrievedly, "it's the little master Xiang who usually uses the name of a slave to bluff and cheat, and this slave will use his tricks."
It seems... so reasonable.
Mu Surao secretly scolded Nanye for becoming more and more proficient in his four-two-two-stroke technique.
A simple sentence filled her heart with anger.
Really too bad.
She walked around into the ebony desk, picked up a memorial, flipped through it, and put it back casually.
"Where's Xiang Jiu?"
Nan Ye turned her neck left and right, only to realize that Xiang Jiu was not there.
Strange.Isn't this little guy always on the back of his ass?
He raised a flattering smile to Mu Surao: "Maybe I'm waiting outside, but my servant sent her in."
While talking, he retreated to the door curtain and called out Xiang Jiu's name in a shrill voice.
But no one came.
When he arrived, he yelled again.
Still no one came.
Nan Ye was a little bit impatient, afraid that Mu Surao would take advantage of the situation and vent all the anger he had just suppressed.
