Since the queen believed that the concubine was harboring evil intentions, she showed no mercy.
It's just that you have to catch her mistakes before you start, otherwise you will inevitably be criticized.
Fortunately, there is no rush now. Anyway, Concubine Xian is confined in the palace to think about her past, so she can't do anything for the time being.
He just told Liang Jing: "Find out as many reasons as possible for Concubine Xian and the Liu family. If you don't take action then, they will never be able to stand up again."
Xue Hengzhao and Fangdian went to deliver the copied scriptures to Concubine Rong's palace, and then took a detour to the Imperial Prison.
When I came back from the west, I met Shi Dianjin on the way. He seemed to be waiting for Xue Hengzhao.
Xue Hengzhao couldn't help but smile when he saw him and asked: "Eunuch Shi, why are you here at the front? Have you been promoted?"
Shi Dianjin blushed and explained: "No, no, it's just a temporary matter, so you called me to the front to help."
Fangdian said to Xue Hengzhao: "I'm going back first. You guys can chat slowly. There's nothing going on in the palace."
"What errand did your father-in-law come to answer for?" Xue Hengzhao asked, "Is your father-in-law okay?"
"Actually, this job should be for my master, but my master said that he was too old and unwilling to take the trouble, so he asked me to take on this job." Shi Dianjin said embarrassedly, "It's still a matter with the Fourth Division.
, just to comply with Manager Liang’s instructions. In fact, I haven’t experienced anything, so I’m really afraid of giving Master a slap in the face.”
"No, father-in-law, you are the smartest and strongest one. Not to mention that you have been in charge of things before. Even if you haven't, you will definitely be able to get started very quickly if you follow along and learn." Xue Hengzhao said, "I guess Mr. Liang must have
He picked you right from the beginning, he is the most picky person, and he doesn’t just drop someone in and take it.”
"Thank you, Miss Xue. I've been here for two days, and I've always wanted to see you and Miss Chi, but I couldn't go out to find you for fear of misunderstanding." Shi Dianjin said, "Is Miss Chi San okay?
"
"Sister Chi is very good. She will be happy if she knows you are here." Xue Hengzhao said, "Since you can come to the front, we will definitely meet a lot in the future. If there is anything you need to help with, don't ask for help. Just ask.
.”
Shi Dianjin knew that Xue Hengzhao was not an ordinary person, and the help she could do was by no means small. He was grateful to her, but did not want to cause trouble for her: "I am satisfied if I can get such a word from the girl. But how many pairs of eyes are there in front of me?
Keep an eye on me, I just ask that I don’t get you too involved, which is better than anything else.”
"There is nothing wrong with being careful after all, but if you have anything to do with Manager Liang, you might as well tell me and say something so that you are not afraid of laughing. I can still speak in front of Manager Liang." Xue Hengzhao said quite casually.
.
Then Xue Hengzhao and Shi Dianjin separated. Behind them, someone stopped and looked around before leaving.
That man was a eunuch from Jiaolan Palace.
Xue Hengzhao walked forward for a while, and just when he turned onto the corridor leading to Furong Palace, a person appeared from behind the acacia tree and called out "Sister Xue."
Xue Hengzhao took a closer look and saw that it was none other than Lin Fufei, and asked her: "Are you looking for me?"
Lin Fufei nodded: "I have something to tell you. Are you busy right now?"
"I have nothing important to do, just say what you say." Xue Heng said.
Lin Fufei looked around and said: "I went to Furong Palace to look for you first, and met Sister Fangdian. She said that you were talking to someone else and wanted to come back here, so I came here to wait for you. Here.
People come and go from time to time and it’s inconvenient to talk, so let’s move to another place!”
When Xue Hengzhao saw her like this, he knew that what he was talking about was not idle talk, so he went with her to a pavilion in the south.
This place is surrounded by water, and there is only a wooden bridge leading to the shore, so there is no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
Xue Hengzhao walked a lot today. When he arrived at the pavilion, he sat down and said to Lin Fufei: "Say what you want!"
Before Lin Fufei opened her mouth, a look of uneasiness appeared on her face and she said: "Sister Xue, I really can't bear this matter in my heart, but I don't dare to tell others casually, so I can only ask you to help me make an idea.
"
"It seems that you are in trouble," Xue Hengzhao said, "Let's talk about it."
Lin Fufei said: "You know I work in front of the Tenth Princess. She treats me well, and I really want to stay with her. A few days ago, the Tenth Princess took a nap, and Sister Hongzhu asked me to stay in front of her. They were all busy.
I'm going to make needlework for the talented person."
Ma Cairen is now far less prosperous than when she was the concubine Ying, and the clothes provided by the supervisor are not very timely. Besides, she is used to enjoying herself. If she is not good at needlework, she would not want to wear it anyway, so she only calls her
Do it with the person waiting in front of you.
Lin Fufei was not very good at needlework, and the tenth princess liked her and always kept her by her side.
That's why Ma Caicai specifically told her that if there were no other important matters, Lin Fufei would only serve in front of the tenth princess.
"The tenth princess was sleeping with the cat in her arms, and I sat on the footrest beside the bed to watch over her. Unknowingly, she became a little hazy. She was just half asleep," Lin Fufei almost cried when she said this.
"I actually heard someone say something.
I woke up immediately, looked around, and saw no one else. Just when I was wondering if I was dreaming, I heard another sentence, ‘Don’t come over here.’ I could hear clearly now, it was the tenth princess talking!”
"What?" Xue Hengzhao was very surprised after hearing this, "She's not..."
Everyone in the palace knew that the tenth princess was mute and could not speak at all.
"That's why it scared me," Lin Fufei said. "You don't know that my soul was flying away at that time. I was stunned and didn't dare to move. I also suspected that I was dreaming, and my arms were pinched green.
"
Then she pulled up her sleeves and asked Xue Heng to look at the bruise on her arm.
"Then I stared at her face and she said again, 'I don't know.'
Sister, if you think Princess Ten can talk in her sleep, why can’t she speak?”
"It stands to reason that it is impossible for a mute to talk in her sleep. Since the tenth princess can talk in her sleep, it means that she has not really become mute."
"Yes, people say that the tenth princess became ill after being ill, and she has been unable to speak since then, but..." Lin Fufei frowned, "I really can't figure out what's going on.
Sister Xue, do you want me to tell Ma Cairen?"
"It's better not to give up now," Xue Hengzhao said, "The tenth princess can't speak. Maybe there is an emotional problem. She can talk in her sleep but can't when she is awake. Maybe there are other reasons. Besides, you are talking empty words.
What proof can we use to prove that it is true? Ma Cairen naturally hopes that the tenth princess can speak. After hearing what you said, he will inevitably become impatient. If the tenth princess is forced hard and another problem occurs, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Lin Fufei nodded after hearing this and said: "Sister Xue, you are very considerate. Ma Cairen is inherently impatient. After knowing this, he will definitely try his best to make the tenth princess speak. If not, it will harm her. But what should I do next?
What to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just wait and see what happens." Xue Hengzhao said, "You must keep the secret."
