Such Yu Wenyi made Yun Jingchu feel an unknown emotion. She pretended to cough a few times to relieve her inner discomfort, "Can you take me to see Caining now?"
Yuwen Yi smiled sweetly, and regardless of Yun Jingchu's wishes or not, he quickly took her hand and walked towards the house not far away.
Walking into the house, there is a long bamboo table, a small bamboo chair, and green curtains are slowly floating on the green bamboo bed. On the wall are landscape paintings with far-reaching artistic conception. In the corner, there are elegant white candlesticks and boxes and cabinets.
They are all placed just right in the corner of the house. The hut is not big, but it is extremely quiet. I never thought that there would be such a simple house in the luxurious palace. It has the coolness and leisure that penetrates the heart.
She liked it here and was inexplicably envious of Yu Wenyi. He had always lived a carefree life. Even in the noisy palace, there was still such a piece of pure land where he could feel this leisurely tranquility.
At this time, Eunuch Gui in the house saw the arrival of Yu Wenyi and Yun Jingchu, and immediately respectfully made tea and served it. Caining also immediately sat up from the bed, leaned towards Yu Wenyi, and said respectfully: "Slave servant
Say hello to the prince."
"Sister Caining, get up quickly." Yu Wenyi seemed to have never been accustomed to this etiquette and said immediately.
"Sister Jingchu." After Caining stood up, she called softly to Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu saw that Caining had recovered, and she couldn't help but acquiesce in Yu Wenyi's medical skills. She nodded and asked, "Cai Ning, will you just stay here to help the prince take care of the flowers and plants from now on?" Everyone in Fengyi Palace was already there.
I thought that Caining was in bad luck, so she could no longer stay in Fengyi Palace. Although she was now the female official of Huining Palace, she could arrange the palace maids at will, but in this situation, it was impossible to bring Caining to Huining Palace.
, finally thought about it, leaving her here is the best choice.
Eunuch Gui, who walked in from the side, was so happy when he heard Yun Jingchu's words. Although the fourth prince was stupid, he was an easy master to serve. Besides, he stayed in the garden to take care of the flowers and plants. There was no need to worry about Caining.
Be wronged.
Caining listened, bent her legs and immediately knelt down. Resisting the urge to cry, she nodded desperately and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Sister Jingchu, thank you -"
"Okay, don't be polite here." Yun Jingchu stretched out her hand to help Caining up, helped her to the bed, and warned her: "Your body has just recovered, and you still need more rest."
Caining's face was touched, and she felt more and more fond of Yun Jingchu. She had heard her uncle mention Yun Jingchu before, and this time she met him, she felt that Yun Jingchu was definitely not an ordinary person.
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with joy, and there was no hierarchy here. Even Eunuch Gui, who always abided by the palace rules, sat down and chatted without any scruples for the first time.
Yun Jingchu took a sip of tea. When the tea cup was put back on the table, she suddenly remembered something and asked Eunuch Gui: "By the way, Eunuch Gui, have you ever heard of the horse thief on Jinshan Mountain?"
I have never met this Eunuch Gui, but judging from his age, he is considered to be the older father-in-law in the palace, so he should know more or less something.
Hearing Yun Jingchu ask about this matter, Eunuch Gui's eyes flashed with surprise. The hand he was holding in the air suddenly froze. After a long time, he slowly put down the cup and said, "The horse thief on Jinshan Mountain was given to the imperial court four years ago.
It was wiped out, and it is said that there were no survivors. The court was really cruel at that time, and I don’t know why.”
I didn't know the reason at the time, but now I finally know that this matter is related to Situ Yan, and Yu Wenrui definitely doesn't want it to be publicized. It's just that these thieves are blind to Taishan, and they actually kidnapped Yu Wenrui's most beloved woman. Yun Rui
When Jingchu thought of this, she felt slightly startled. She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, trying to regain her composure.
At this time, Caining glanced at Yun Jingchu, then at her uncle, her little face wrinkled slightly, as if she had made a big decision, and finally said with some embarrassment: "Sister Jingchu, Caining has
I don’t know if I should talk about this matter?" In any case, Sister Jingchu is also her benefactor, and she feels it is necessary to say it, even if this matter is the one she least wants to mention...
Yun Jing glanced at Caining for the first time, then took a look at Eunuch Gui's expression, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Actually, none of the horse thieves on Jinshan Mountain survived, but there are still survivors who are not horse thieves on Jinshan Mountain..." Caining's eyes were a little red, and she continued: "Actually, my parents are one of the horse thieves, and
I have been a child growing up on Jinshan Mountain since I was a child.”
As soon as she said this, Yun Jingchu was a little surprised. Before, Eunuch Gui only said that her parents were dead, but he never thought that she grew up in a den of horse thieves on Jinshan Mountain. Thinking about it, Yun Jingchu's voice sounded again: "So,
Were you the only survivor on Jinshan Mountain back then?"
"Yes, I am the only one left in the entire Jinshan den." Caining didn't know why Yun Jingchu asked about this matter, but as she spoke, the expression on her delicate face suddenly became painful, as if she was recalling
Some memories that have been dusted for a long time, I closed my eyes and said painfully: "At that time, the imperial court suddenly sent people to the mountain to kill everyone on sight..."
"Then why did you kidnap the two daughters of the Situ family?"
Caining frowned, as if thinking deeply but also with a hint of pain, and then said with a hint of anger: "I heard my father say this, but it is not actually their style of going up the mountain, because there are regulations for horse thieves in Jinshan, absolutely
I don’t know how to do anything to women, children and children, but at that time I didn’t know why the boss was so greedy for money that he abducted the two sisters and suffered a big loss! They were both women named Situ Xuan. I saw with my own eyes that she had tampered with the food.
So I went to tell my father. Because he was afraid of trouble, he told me not to show off. As a result, everyone on the mountain was knocked unconscious. Only my father and mother were awake. They hid me and told me to stay safe no matter what happened.
Don't say anything, so I escaped, but my father and mother never came back..."
"Situ Xuan? Did she tamper with the food?" Yun Jingchu said doubtfully. The Situ Xuan in her memory was also a quiet young lady. How could she have such ability?
"As the saying goes, the word "sex" is like a knife in the head, this sentence is really true. Situ Yan, who was not the queen at the time, was already famous for her beauty, so when the boss saw the fairy-like Situ Yan, he immediately started to do evil.
However, Situ Yan would rather die than follow the boss. As a result, she was beaten all over her body and was almost dying. However, Situ Xuan was completely different. Not only did she obey the boss's words after persuading her, but she was also able to freely enter and leave the Jinshan Mountain.
That day, after everyone fainted, I heard my father say that the two sisters had disappeared long ago, and then the people from the court came..." Caining said, holding her thin hands tightly, and her heart was like a knife.
, so she would think of this past event every time she served Situ Yan, but she had no choice in the palace.
"You mean, it was Situ Yan who was covered in injuries, but Situ Xuan was unscathed?" Yun Jing raised her eyebrows and asked, as if some idea emerged in her heart, and it became clearer and clearer.
"Yes, that Situ Xuan really doesn't look like the rich lady. Instead, she is a bit evil. The boss is so precious to her that no brother in the mountain is allowed to touch her. She is worshiped like a Guanyin. Now think about it,
The boss is so stupid that he killed everyone on Jinshan Mountain." Caining couldn't help wiping her tears as she said it, and continued: "So I can leave Situ Yan's side and don't have to serve her anymore, I think this is
A kind of relief..." Caining also put down her guard at this time and said everything in her heart.
Yun Jingchu felt Caining's excitement and said, "Okay, you will stay here from now on. I believe the prince will not embarrass you."
Yu Wenyi had been sitting next to him, holding his head with his hands, and kept listening as if listening to a story. Suddenly he heard Yun Jingchu say this, and nodded hurriedly and said: "Sister Caining, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."
Caining looked at the prince gratefully, and couldn't help but said: "Thank you, prince, and thank you Sister Jingchu. Your great kindness and great kindness, Caining, really cannot be repaid..."
After listening to Caining's words, most of the questions in her mind have been solved, but there is still one thing she still can't understand. It was Situ Yan who was seriously injured, and it was Situ Xuan who died in the end. But Situ Xuan was ordinary in appearance.
She is completely different from Situ Yan, who has a peerless appearance, so what's going on?
Yun Jingchu shook her head, raised her eyes, and looked at Caining, thinking that after all, she had worked in Fengyi Palace and served Situ Yan before, so she might know something.
"Cai Ning, when you served the Queen before, did you think she had any quirks?"
As soon as these words came out, Caining suddenly thought of something and said suddenly: "When you said this, it reminded me that there is something really strange, that is, the Queen will never let anyone touch her face. I
When I first arrived at Fengyi Hall, I didn’t know much about the habits of the Queen Empress, so I thought she was with other empresses, so I put makeup on her. Unexpectedly, she got angry and ordered Xiangling to slap me in the face, and then asked us to retreat.
Next, I sketched out the makeup by myself. It was also because of this that many maids in Fengyi Palace were discussing it privately, but later everyone thought it was her habit and didn't mention it again."
If no one touches her face, does that mean there is something strange about her face? Yun Jingchu stared deeply in thought, could it be the art of disguise, so she is afraid of being seen as talented, so she doesn't allow others to touch her face? That's not right, she
I had always met Situ Yan before, but I couldn't see anything wrong with her face. After shaking her head, Yun Jingchu said: "It's a little strange, like a disguise, but it's not. Anyway, there's something weird about this."
