"When I return to the master, he is still being held in custody, but the things on his face have been removed by my servant."
"Okay, take me there immediately." Ignoring Nala, he directly held Yang Hai's hand and walked back. Shui Xiu and others who came later followed closely behind Ling Ruo.
Yingchun felt that the nails of the hand on her arm were digging into her flesh mercilessly through the sleeve. She raised her head in fear, only to find that Na La was looking at Concubine Xi with a look without any warmth.
The departing figure.
Let's say that Ling Ruo followed Yang Hai to a row of low flat houses behind the main hall of Kunning Palace. Yang Hai pointed to one of them and said, "Master, the three blessings are inside."
Ling Ruo nodded slightly, pushed the door open and walked in. There was only one small window in the house. Even though it was sunny outside, the sunlight that came in was pitiful and not enough to illuminate the house. It was pitch dark inside.
After a while, Ling Ruo got used to the dim light in the room.
The room was filled with clutter, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of dust. It was usually an empty room, and there was no one to clean it, but on such a dusty floor lay a man who was panting.
This person, through the poor light, can clearly see his appearance. It is the three blessings that Ling Ruo has been waiting for for a long time.
Yang Hai walked over and took a look, and said with some surprise: "Hey, those papers are gone? Master, it seems that someone came in after the slave left, so I am happy that my father-in-law is fine."
Ling Ruo gestured to Yang Hai to help up the pale-faced Sanfu, and said, "What kind of paper?"
Yang Hai glanced around again to make sure there was no one behind him and said: "It was the paper that was wetted on Eunuch Fu's face before. I remember there was a thick stack, but I don't know who took it away."
At this moment, Sanfu had calmed down and said weakly: "It's Xiao Ningzi. After you left, he came in again and took away the papers. He was probably afraid that you would catch evidence."
Shuixiu found a lame stool from the pile of rubbish and asked Sanfu, who had weak legs and feet, to sit down. She asked curiously: "Why do you put paper on Eunuch Fu's face when it's all good?"
Yang Hai couldn't bear to say: "You haven't seen it, so you don't know. Even I saw it once a long time ago. The so-called applying paper is to wet the yellow paper with water, and then cover it layer by layer on the person's face.
, at first people with only two or three layers can still breathe, but later on, as the paper gets thicker and thicker, they will gradually become unable to breathe, and in the end they will die of suffocation without any scars. Just now I heard that
come to this room
There was some movement, so I thought about the master's instructions, so I came in and saw that Eunuch Fu was being grabbed by some eunuchs." At this point, he turned to Xing Shen and said, "Master, at that time, Xiao Ningzi was just getting wet.
The paper was stuck on Eunuch Fu's face layer by layer. When they saw the servant suddenly coming in, they were so frightened that they ran away. After the servant tore off the yellow paper on Eunuch Fu's face, they found that he was still breathing, so they hurriedly reported the news to their master.
.”
Sanfu listened to the side and smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, Eunuch Yang came in in time, otherwise this slave's life would have been handed down here. Concubine Xi, did the emperor order the execution of slave and Jade?"
"If it was the emperor's order, how could I let Yang Hai come to save you?" After Ling Ruo said this, Yang Hai followed closely: "Yes, Eunuch Fu, my master has already been in front of the emperor to save you and Aunt Jade.
I asked for grace and asked the emperor to agree to grant you the title of vegetable households, and now he has even issued an imperial edict."
Sanfu looked at Ling Ruo in confusion. Immediately, endless surprises flashed across his dim eyes, "Is this really so?"
Ling Ruo rolled up her sleeves and said, "Of course it's true. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Sanfu was overjoyed. Although he believed in Ling Ruo before, he was still a little unsure after all. When he was imprisoned, he had also made preparations to die. Just now, he had truly experienced the feeling of death. At that time,
When Xiao Ningzi put the paper layer by layer on his face with a ferocious smile, he was really in complete despair.
"My servant, Concubine Xie Xi, is so kind and kind, and I will repay you with my whole life!" Sanfu struggled and fell on the ground. In great sadness and joy, his tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop them. In the end, he even couldn't hold them back.
I couldn't help crying, but the crying contained more joy in the aftermath of the disaster.
Seeing him like this, Ling Ruo couldn't help but feel moved. She helped him personally and said, "Get up, everything is over."
"Yes." Sanfu choked up and agreed. After trying to stop his tears, he said with some confusion: "I still don't know something. Since the emperor has decreed that the slaves should be served as vegetable households, why did Xiao Ningzi come to execute him?
Servant?"
His words made Ling Ruo suddenly startled. He thought of the other person, looked at Yang Hai and others and said, "Have you found the jade?"
Yang Hai and others looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "The servants have searched all over places like this, but no trace of Aunt Jade has been found."
As soon as he heard the word Jade, Sanfu suddenly became anxious. He grabbed Shui Xiu who was closest to him and said, "What's wrong? What happened to Jade? Did something happen to her?"
Shui Xiu looked at him in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer, but Ling Ruo said: "I have spent a lot of effort to get the emperor to decree to grant you the title of Caihu. Although the queen did not dare to openly resist the decree, she did not want you to live in her heart.
Yes, so I took the opportunity to tell you about your past and instigated Xiao Ningzi to secretly commit murder. Now that you have saved your life, I don’t know what will happen to Jade."
Knowing that Jade might die, Sanfu could not stay any longer. He stumbled out and kept chanting, "Jade! Jade!"
Shuixiu wanted to help him, but he pushed him away. She stamped her feet anxiously, "Hey, Eunuch Fu, you haven't recovered yet, please wait a little longer."
Ling Ruo's heart felt a little heavy. There had been no news from Jade so far, so she was afraid that something bad might happen. In such worry, she held Yang Hai's hand and walked out of the house. She saw Sanfu looking like he was going crazy.
He broke into each room and kept calling Jade's name. Shuixiu couldn't hold him back at all.
At this moment, Sanfu only had the idea of finding Jade in his mind, but he almost searched the row of short flat houses and found no trace of Jade.
Could it be that Jade has been killed by the Queen? As soon as this thought appeared, Sanfu drove it away with all his strength. He kept comforting himself that Jade would be fine, let alone leave him. They must stay in love and stay together.
For the rest of their lives, even the emperor has decreed that they should be given the title of vegetable households. As long as they ask Concubine Xi to take them out of Kunning Palace, they will have a good life. They have been looking forward to this day for so long, aren't they just looking forward to this day?!
"No! No! Why still nothing?!" After looking through the last few rooms and still finding nothing, Sanfu finally couldn't help but roared, with unconcealed fear in his expression. Although he had been comforting himself
, but without seeing the jade for a moment, the panic in my heart could not stop for a moment.
