[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

The elder brother is sitting in the east study room of Qianqing Palace.

Several stewards tremblingly reported to him that there was no news of anyone in the palace.

After the fire in the Changchun Palace was extinguished during the day, they searched the small half of the harem under the banner of searching for the arsonist, but they found no one.

Although the harem is vast, there are people guarding all the gates. Even if a little Changzai sneaks out of the Changchun Palace, it is impossible for him to run very far.

Eldest brother squinted his eyes, what appeared in his heart was not anger, but the weird scene during the day.

How did the fire start when he was playing with Mrs. Song in the room?It seems that there is an invisible person who leads the fire there, especially when it spreads into the room.

He couldn't help but think of the voyeur who was in the Palace of Yanxi Palace with himself and Shi Shi in the earlier days, and then chased after him only to hear his voice but not to see him.

This Wei Changzai...is very interesting.

"Did the two maids of the Wei family ask anything?"

"It's been tortured, and there is no flaw at all." The steward replied with a headache. They are all veterans of extorting confessions and interrogating them. Really don't know anything.

The elder brother asked again: "Does this Wei family have any close people in the palace?"

The steward hesitated, "If you want to say, only Song Chang from Yanxi Palace is here."

The elder brother looked solemnly.

That night, Song Qing'er was sitting in front of the bed in a daze.Since returning to Yanxi Palace, she has been under house arrest.

Two young eunuchs guarded the gate and were not allowed to enter or leave.Fortunately, three meals a day were delivered as usual.

Song Qing'er didn't know what would happen to her next, she cried secretly several times.

While thinking about it, suddenly the door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

Song Qing'er saw the person coming in clearly, and jumped up from the bed like a frightened rabbit.

The elder brother was amused by the movement of her red eyes, and sneered, "Aren't you very courageous?"

Thinking of the big bag she knocked out on his head, it still hurts.

Reminded by him, Song Qing'er rushed to the side, raised the inkstone, and stared at him.

"Don't come here, what are you going to do, I will die with you."

The elder brother snorted, "It's your turn to do what the king wants." After saying that, he picked up a teacup on the table and threw it at it.

Impartially hitting Song Qing'er's wrist, the stabbing pain came, Song Qing'er exclaimed, and the inkstone fell to the ground and shattered.

With this distraction, the elder brother jumped up, grabbed Song Qinger's wrist, and dragged her directly to the side of the bed.

Being pressed by the bed, Song Qing'er trembled, tears streaming down her face.

The original decisive courage disappeared after these days of captivity.

She closed her eyes and resigned herself to fate.

Eldest brother didn't take any further action, and said directly: "This king is here to ask you something today, if you answer truthfully, I can spare you this time."

Song Qing'er raised a glimmer of hope, and asked tremblingly, "What?"

Eldest Brother shook off his hand and asked: "You were on good terms with Chang Zai Wei before, but did you find anything wrong with her?"

Song Qing'er didn't know what he was asking, so she could only say, "Sister Wei is a talented woman, and she is very good at painting."

"There's no need to talk nonsense about these things, just talk about what's different from ordinary people!" The elder brother scolded impatiently.

Song Qing'er shuddered in fright, racked her brains, and said a lot of things.

The eldest brother became impatient when he heard it, and suddenly a sentence caught his ear.

"...Sister Wei also likes to go shopping in the garden. Sometimes she goes out when it's cold, and she doesn't take Yufu and the others with her. And every time she goes out in the afternoon, I went to talk to her several times, but there was no sign of her."

Eldest brother's eyes tightened. In the afternoon, according to the intelligence report from the investigation, every time his good fourth brother went out to linger on the bridge, it was also this time.

After asking Song Qing'er a few more words, he became more and more sure of his previous guess and became excited.

Ghosts and spirits have existed in legends since ancient times, but this is the first time I have actually seen them.

After getting the news he wanted, he loosened his grip on Song Qing'er.

Song Qing'er immediately jumped up, hid in the corner of the room, and looked at him in horror.

The elder brother showed her a sinister smile, turned and left.

He is very interested in this little girl, but now he has more important things to be busy with, and he can't care about women's sex.

***

Wei Rong scooped up a spoonful of water from the barrel and poured it on a pot of flowers that were in full bloom.

The big green leaves are swaying, and the bright water drops are sprinkled, making it more vibrant.

These days, Wei Rong is living the life of sweeping the little maids in the Yonghe Palace with peace of mind, sweeping the fallen leaves and watering the flowers every day.

Qiuyi will come over in the morning to touch up her makeup and bring her meals for the day.A small stove was prepared for her in the room, and she could eat it hot.

Probably in her previous life, she had been a house girl for a long time, and Wei Rong quickly got used to this isolated life. Although the room was simple, it was clean and tidy, and it was quite comfortable to live in.It's just so boring, so boring that it's going to mold.

The work of sweeping and sanitation can be completed in the early morning, and the rest of the time can only be in a daze. Even in my dreams, I want to have a mobile phone, even if I don’t have a mobile phone, I can have a book.

This morning, she was absent-mindedly watering the flowers.

Suddenly a voice came from behind, "This flower shouldn't be watered so much."

Wei Rong stood up, turned around and saw Yinzhen.

Still so thin and handsome, when he got closer, he looked past Wei Rong and looked at the flowers behind him.

"This flower likes the sun, so it's good to water it every half a month. Too much water is easy to lose."

Wei Rong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Si, for your guidance." Then he asked, "Why did you come here?" She pulled the veil on her head uncomfortably.

Because she didn't see anyone all day long, she didn't even comb her hair in a bun, but tied it into a ponytail with a silk handkerchief.

Yinzhen's eyes swept across her face, the thick yellow powder covered her beauty, only those eyes were clear and bright, with a heart-pounding radiance.

Feeling relaxed for no reason, he said warmly: "There are a lot of mosquitoes in the room recently, I'm going to find some mosquito repellent grass to put in a bottle, thinking that there are plants here."

After finishing speaking, I also felt that this explanation was a bit deliberate, and my cheeks flushed.

Wei Rong didn't pay attention, she was completely attracted by the content of Yinzhen's words, her eyes flooded, "Is there any mosquito repellent? What does it look like? I want to find some too!"

The small room she lives in is clean and comfortable, the only thing she can't stand is that there are too many mosquitoes.It caused her to get up seven or eight times a night to clean up those vampires, and she couldn't sleep well at all.

Yinzhen smiled, walked to the front of the flowers, and picked a branch after a while.

He handed it to Wei Rong and said, "That's what it looks like."

Wei Rong took it, and it was an ordinary-looking green leaf.She leaned to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and a pungent smell hit her nostrils, and she sneezed several times.

After finally stopping, he was in a panic when he saw a handkerchief handed to him.

Wei Rong quickly took it and rubbed his nose.

After using it up, I wanted to return it to Yinzhen, but felt it was inappropriate.I heard that this guy has a cleanliness freak, so he won't like things that other people have used.

Yinzhen wrote lightly: "It's new, you can keep it."

Wei Rong hummed, and put the silk handkerchief into her sleeve.

Yinzhen took the mosquito repellent from her hand again, and confessed: "This smells pungent, don't get too close, you can put it in a bottle and put it by the door or window, or mash the juice and apply it next to the bed. It can be used to smear the body where the mosquito bites to relieve itching."

Wei Rong listened carefully and nodded again and again. Only then did she know what the mosquito repellent lotion Yufu received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was made of in previous summers.

It suddenly occurred to him that he is an imposing elder brother, it is impossible that he does not have these things, so this time he came to the door specially, so he made this excuse.

Wei Rong thought it was funny, but didn't show it.

Together, the two gathered among the flowers.The appearance of the mosquito repellent plant is not much different from other plants, and it took Wei Rong a lot of effort to identify it.

After half an hour, the two picked dozens of trees and put them on the stone table in the pavilion next to them.

Seeing that it was almost done, the two entered the gazebo, and Yinzhen took out a brocade box from under the table as if conjuring again.

"I had some snacks with me, but I didn't expect to delay until this time. Seeing that I can't eat anymore, I might as well leave them for you."

Of course Wei Rong would not refuse, and Xiaoji nodded like a pecking rice.

She opened the box directly.

There are not only two full boxes of snacks in the box, but they are all her favorites.There were three or four books, and a fine oil lamp.

They are all the things she needs most now!

What did you say that you brought food with you? In fact, it was specially prepared for her. It's really honest, ahem...

Wei Rong was pleasantly surprised, funny, and touched.

Yinzhen didn't expect that she would open the gift so directly when she received it, and she felt a little embarrassed.But seeing her happy appearance, I feel that everything is worth it.

Wei Rong raised her head and gave him a big smile: "Thank you, Brother Si."

Yin Zhen was slightly refreshed, and still hummed coldly, hesitated for a moment before asking: "How are you doing these days?"

"It's very good. There are few people here and it's very safe. It's just that after finishing the work, it's a bit boring." Wei Rong smiled, "Thank you for your book, it's a timely help."

"You..." Yinzhen didn't know how to speak, originally he thought of some comforting words.

After all, Wei Rong was born as a dignified lady from an official family. Although entering the palace is just a promise, she is also the master.Originally, I thought that a young lady who is good at drawing and has good knowledge lives in such a poor house every day and handles low labor, she must be full of grievances.

Unexpectedly, seeing her today, her ambition is much better than she imagined.

He glanced at it just now, and the room was neatly tidied up, and there were still arranged flowers on the window sill.Even the handle of the cabinet is hung with two garlands made of small flowers, which is unique.

She faces these ups and downs calmly, and can live her life happily.It made him a little surprised.Yinzhen thought, if he fell into such an uncertain situation, he might not be so calm and optimistic.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Wei Rong asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yinzhen came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing, I was thinking...in case the elder brother's people find this place."

"It's okay, I still have one last resort. At worst, I won't run away." Wei Rong laughed.

While speaking, he took out the pendant from his chest.

Yinzhen watched her move, because the neckline was unbuttoned, revealing that the skin on her neck was as white as snow, which was in contrast to the yellowish color of her cheeks.She was only wearing the long skirt of a rough maid, but it still couldn't hide her refreshing and graceful figure.

Yinzhen looked down involuntarily, but stopped abruptly.

Wei Rong took off the pendant and put it in the palm of his hand, "This is it." Anyway, Yinzhen already knew about his golden finger, so he had nothing to hide.

She was very skeptical that this thing contained some kind of radiant energy. Fortunately, after using it for so long, her body did not experience any abnormalities.
