While Jiang Tang and the system were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door. The system went silent for an instant, and Jiang Tang became alert.
She stood up, straightened her dress, and then walked over.
"You are indeed in there."
A familiar little girl opened the door. I remember she was the sweeper of the outer hall.
"My grandma asked me to bring this to you, saying it can remove scars."
The little palace maid said and handed her the medicine bottle in her hand, but her face was very pale, as if she was frightened by something, and she hadn't come out yet.
Jiang Tang thanked him first, and before closing the door, he asked unexpectedly: "What happened? You look a little bad."
The little palace maid subconsciously raised her head and looked at her: "Prince Rong is here."
Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking that this person was testing her.
She also looked bad, but the other party misunderstood and said hurriedly: "Don't be afraid, he has already left. He just went to Fangbi's yard. But it is very scary... No one in the palace is not afraid...
…”
The last sentence was already muttered, but Jiang Tang suddenly understood what the other party meant.
It wasn't until the little palace maid who delivered the medicine left and closed the door that the tension on her face disappeared. She looked down at the medicine bottle in her hand and suddenly chuckled:
"You are right, some people are really arrogant."
He was the only one who dared to blatantly return to the "crime scene" after setting the fire.
But in this case, it will probably be more difficult to suspect him...
-
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
As Eunuch Zhao spoke, he quickly stretched out his hands to protect Emperor Huaiwen, who was almost tottering just now. His old face was full of nervousness.
"I'm fine,"
Emperor Huaiwen said this, but his face was very gloomy and ugly: "That woman will never die so easily, keep investigating!"
When Eunuch Zhao heard this, he realized that the emperor was talking about the concubine. He wanted to remind him that after inspection at Dali Temple, it was confirmed that she was the one who died. The palace maid also confessed, so there was no way she could be mistaken, but...
Seeing the emperor's stern expression, he suppressed his words wisely: "Yes."
There are certain things that cannot be persuaded.
If you say something that your master doesn't like to hear, the last person you will sacrifice may be your own life.
This is the experience that Eunuch Zhao has accumulated over the years, and it will never be wrong.
Emperor Huaiwen was helped to his bed. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged a lot, and his originally tall and heroic figure seemed to have become much more rickety and thin.
When he was just two steps away from the bed, Emperor Huaiwen suddenly said: "You also met Prince Rong today. What do you think he thinks? Is he really letting go of that woman?"
He paused slightly as he spoke, and then spoke in an unclear tone: "Are you still playing tricks on me?"
Hearing the last sentence, Eunuch Zhao felt a chill in his back. He wished that he was not the one serving today. How come these deep pits are coming one after another?
If you don't pay attention, you will die without a burial place!
"Yilao Nu, it seems... Your Majesty seems to have lost some weight, but he is in good spirits and looks like he has relaxed his mind. Moreover, he has accepted the beauties given by the Emperor. Maybe he really understands the Emperor's good intentions...
"
Eunuch Zhao tried his best to compliment him, but the emperor did not speak again. He still looked like the gentle emperor of the past, but only those around him who had been serving him for a long time knew that he did not agree.
Until the news came that Prince Rong's carriage overturned and the palace maid fell off the carriage and died on the spot, Eunuch Zhao felt like he was going to explode.
What's the matter!
King Rong, can’t you be a good person?
It’s almost killing me!
With trepidation, Eunuch Zhao bravely went in and informed the emperor of the matter.
He could almost imagine the emperor being furious after mentioning it.
This death is not the life of a palace maid, it is clearly the father-son relationship between King Rong and the Emperor that is about to end!
The beauty rewarded by the emperor died before entering the palace. King Rong was so audacious that he despised the emperor's power!
"...The guards of Prince Rong's Palace knelt down outside the palace to plead guilty. Your Majesty, please see this..."
Eunuch Zhao was very cautious when speaking, for fear that the emperor would suddenly become angry.
But no one expected that after hearing this, Emperor Huaiwen actually laughed: "I wonder why he is so obedient today. This is my King Rong. If he really has no temper at all, I will suspect that he has changed his mind.
.”
Emperor Huaiwen waved his hand: "Since I have already given it to him, there is no need to tell me anymore."
Even Eunuch Zhao was a little confused at this time. He opened his mouth and finally said: "Yes."
But when he turned around, his face could no longer remain tense:
He knew it would be like this! King Rong went crazy and had nothing to do with the emperor, his biological father!
Soon, the chief guard, who had been kneeling outside the palace waiting to be punished, received the news: "Since it was an accident, be careful next time."
In the end, I was punished by deducting my salary for half a month, which was... not painful at all.
Captain of the Guard: Sure enough, he is worthy of being a prince! I almost thought that my life would be lost if I did this!
Is this the result? This is it?
"My subordinates must be more careful in the future so that no such 'accident' will happen again."
So the death of Bai Zhi is like a fallen leaf falling on the lake, creating a circle of ripples and then quickly returning to calm.
Over there, the chief of guard was "let go", and here in Leng Gong, Jiang Tang also got the "news" she wanted.
"...There is a vacancy for a palace maid, and I need someone who can make tea. If you can get it, you can go. The queen has said that the opportunity has been given to you. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not."
The palace maid responsible for delivering the message for Sheng Meiren spoke with a straight face and no emotion at all, but Jiang Tang could feel the woman's dissatisfaction and malice from her words.
The opportunity has been given, but whether it succeeds or not depends on her. Even if she fails, it will be her own misfortune.
"I understand, thank you very much, ma'am."
Jiang Tang's expression remained unchanged and he spoke gently, and finally there was a little regret in the expressionless palace maid's eyes.
The empress ordered her before she came, the more unhappy she is, the better.
But at present, it seems that... it has not achieved the effect.
So the palace maid who passed the message had to add another sentence: "There are many people watching this position, and everyone who goes there has some skills. If you are not good at it, then it is your own business. You cannot blame the empress."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's natural, I thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Jiang Tang still smiled sweetly, which was in line with her gentle appearance: "You also reminded me specifically that your Majesty is really a good person."
The queen is a good person...
Thinking of Sheng Meiren's malicious look when she left, the palace maid who sent the message wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.
[Host, that Shengmei person is obviously uneasy and wants to see you make a fool of yourself.]
The waiter frowned, and the system that had been holding it in for a long time finally started to complain: [But if she is disappointed, the host will definitely win! Host, you are a person who has been trained by a professional teacher, I don’t believe anyone can compare to the host! 】
Jiang Tang also smiled. Although he didn't agree with the system, he had similar thoughts.
Because someone was picky and wanted the tea to taste good and the action of pouring the tea to be pleasing to the eye, she simply found a teacher and learned everything about making tea and making tea from scratch.
In her free time, she continued to practice in the time practice room.
When I graduated, my tea-making technique was so smooth and pleasing to the eye that I received full marks from the system!
She even learned how to order tea, and later she made milk tea to improve her life. After it was launched, she really gained a wave of favor in the palace.
Sheng Meiren wants to see her joke?
I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint her.
The system said a lot of rainbow farts again, until Jiang Tang asked it to be quiet, and it finally shut up.
-
The day passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
She was supposed to go back to her room to sleep, but who would have thought that Granny Nian suddenly asked the palace maids and eunuchs to gather together again, saying that she wanted to search the house again because of the murder of Jin Yiwei.
This time, even Jiang Tang was called out.
When she learned about this, Jiang Tang's heart sank, and an uneasy feeling lingered around her. Even when the little palace maid next to her was talking to her, she was absent-minded.
The little palace maid just thought she was afraid, and after saying a few words, she fell silent. The palace people stood in rows in the courtyard, surrounded by guards in brocade clothes holding torches like a dense crowd of ghosts, which made people more and more uneasy.
"Tangtang, you are here too."
Taking advantage of the chaos around her, Ming Lan tugged on Jiang Tang's sleeve and whispered: "Look at the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he looks so fierce."
Jiang Tang looked over, wondering if it was an illusion. When she looked over, she noticed that the other party seemed to be looking at her too.
But with just one glance, the man quickly looked away,
"I didn't see you this morning, and he asked me about it, which scared me to death..."
Hearing Minglan's soft complaint, Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat: "What did I ask you? Did you ask me if I was here?"
"Yeah, yeah," Ming Lan nodded: "He said where was the palace maid with allergies on her face that day? Do you think it was strange or not? How did he know you were not there?"
Jiang Tang pursed his lips, and the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Just when she was thinking seriously, her sleeve was suddenly pulled: "Begonia, I'm calling you. Haitang."
Jiang Tang raised his head in confusion and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him at some point.
Then she heard Lord Jin Yiwei say: "Since the people are here, let's go over."
Jiang Tang: In the past? Where was it?
System: [Host, the commander said that your room has not been searched, so I want to have a look! The system clearly sees that he has bad intentions and is just a cannon fodder! What are you doing! 】
The system was extremely excited, and Jiang Tang didn't look well.
Among the crowd, there were also people with pale faces.
"Sir, it's so late, why don't we wait until tomorrow..."
Aunt Nian tried to stop Lu Xiao. Haitang is someone the emperor specially ordered to take care of. Why should you be at odds with her!
Moreover, she is weak, so the concubine's affairs cannot be related to her even if she thinks about it with her feet!
Why do you have to? This is it!
Lu Xiao shut her up with just one sentence:
"Are you trying to stop the investigation?"
Aunt Nian: "No, I don't dare."
She had no choice but to look at Jiang Tang: "Since the adults have said so, just lead the way."
Nian Nian thought in her heart: When you get to the place and see the room where Haitang lives, you will know how stupid you are!
Jiang Tang took a deep breath and went there. She didn't dig that room anyway, even if she found it...
Let the hero die.
Lu Xiao originally thought that the girl would show a scared and panicked expression, but unexpectedly, she just adjusted quickly after the initial surprise.
"Then please sir and mama come with me."
As soon as the girl opened her mouth, her voice was as stunning as in her memory, and it became even more ethereal and moving in the night.
Jiang Tang walked in front and didn't notice the man behind her looking at her back with deep eyes.
After turning two corners, we came to the courtyard where Jiang Tang lived "alone".
"This slave is new here and has been living here for the past few days."
As she spoke, she pushed open the door: "I'm not in good health, thanks to grandma taking care of me."
Aunt Nian heard the words and interjected: "Yes, Haitang is in very bad health. She had a fever for several days when she came here. She couldn't even get out of bed. Even speaking a little louder would scare her. The palace maid who took care of her
I can all testify that it’s impossible for me to do anything bad.”
However, although she spoke very hard, the man who should have responded always had a calm expression.
Nian Nian sighed, as expected, this commander was as inexperienced as the legend said, and his good face was lost in vain!
Fortunately, the command of "No oil or salt" allowed the adults to leave their men outside the house and go in alone.
But as soon as he entered, he discovered that this place was different from other places:
"It's okay to live alone, but there's actually a Bingjian in this room?"
Even at night, the air was still stuffy. When I walked all the way and opened the door, the room felt extremely cool.
And this is definitely not the treatment that ordinary palace maids should receive.
Lu Xiao's sharp eyes instantly focused on Jiang Tang.
The girl looked calm: "My grandma is taking care of me."
In one sentence, I gave it to Grandma Nian.
Mother Nian could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, I arranged it. I fell in love with Haitang at first sight, and seeing her was like seeing my biological daughter who was not related by blood. She was not in good health, so I gave up my ice.
Bing, give it to her. These are all mine."
Seeing Nian Nian saying words with a painful expression that she didn't even believe, Jiang Tang curled up the corners of her mouth slightly.
Then she noticed that the man's eyes were on her, she paused and avoided it as if nothing had happened.
Aunt Nian made these up herself, it has nothing to do with her.
Lu Xiao sneered, obviously not believing what Nian said, but he didn't expose it and walked straight into the house.
"Eh……"
Aunt Nian subconsciously wanted to stop the person. The room is like this. Can't you see that there is a problem with Haitang's identity? How did this adult's brain become a Jin Yiwei!
The room is not too big and has a panoramic view.
Lu Xiao took a look at the bedside. The brocade quilt used on it looked like a treasure, and it was also inconsistent with the status of a "palace maid".
[Oops! He went to the closet, wouldn’t he have discovered the secret passage? 】
The system suddenly became nervous. Jiang Tang just pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, it is best not to say anything.
"Can I take a look inside?"
Surprisingly, the man asked a question before opening the cabinet.
Jiang Tang smiled softly and said in a gentle tone: "My slave said no, it is all personal clothes. Can you please not open it?"
Then she saw the serious and cold man smiling at her: "Of course... no."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly opened the closet——
