Yuan Qingling walked over and sat down, leaning back and finding a more comfortable position to look at her, "I want to know the truth and the relationship between you and Man'er."
"The princess is too worried."
Aunt Qing also looked at her, her smile did not fade, but the coldness in her eyes deepened, "I didn't know her before, but today everyone went to eat, but she didn't, so I prepared one for her, that's all."
Yuan Qingling asked: "Okay, today you are so kind and can't bear to see a maid being bullied and hungry. Then you were unwilling to leave the palace. Why did you change your mind after hearing that the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang was in the capital?
Already?
I believe that leaving the palace is a very dangerous thing for you, and you may even be in danger of death, but you ignored it and came to the imperial concubine. Do you simply want to repay Luo Guifei?
But I have learned that in fact, there is no deep master-servant relationship between you and Luo Guibi. Otherwise, when something happened to her, you would have been punished with the crime of sitting together. It is precisely because you are not a confidant that you can survive.
"
Aunt Qing sneered, "The Crown Princess has too much imagination, what kind of daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang?
This slave has never heard of it, let alone cares about it."
"You are also from Southern Xinjiang, don't you care about the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
Yuan Qingling looked at her and asked.
Aunt Qing raised her head coldly, "Although this slave is from Southern Xinjiang, the Crown Princess must know that Southern Xinjiang is divided into the Northern and Southern factions. How can I care about the King of Southern Xinjiang if I am from the Northern Xinjiang?"
Therefore, Crown Princess, you think too much. Although I don’t know what your intentions are, a Southern Xinjiang slave who only cares about his job is really not interested in asking about these matters."
Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "Are you from the north of Xinjiang?"
She originally thought that Aunt Qing might be from the palace of the Southern Xinjiang Prince or a concubine of the Southern Xinjiang Prince, but if she was from the Northern Xinjiang, this would not be true.
"My slave, you can swear to God that you are from the north of Xinjiang. If you say anything false, God will strike you with five thunders, and you will not die a good death."
Aunt Qing said.
Yuan Qingling looked at her, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. She didn't seem to be lying. She had lied to cover it up, which could be seen from her subtle expressions and body language.
But now she was very calm about this oath.
An idea suddenly flashed through Yuan Qingling's mind, a rather ridiculous idea.
However, this idea was immediately rejected by her, because this guess was unlikely, or almost impossible.
Could it be that my previous thinking was in the wrong direction?
Aunt Qing stepped forward, and the coldness in her eyes had faded away, replaced by the humble and respectful attitude of a slave, "I do have a purpose for leaving the palace, but it is not for the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang. These things have nothing to do with this slave.
, Of course, as the Crown Princess said, it was not to serve His Highness Ninth Prince wholeheartedly. As for the slave maid who felt hungry just now and felt unbearable, it was because she learned that she was from southern Xinjiang. However, the slave did not know that she was from southern Xinjiang.
It's still in the north of Xinjiang. It's just out of pity for the fellow countrymen. Therefore, I don't know what the purpose of your test is, and I don't dare to ask about the master's thoughts."
Yuan Qingling looked at her. Whether she had entered the palace before or now, she had asked Rong Yue and the others to accompany her. She just didn't want Aunt Qing to see which mansion Man'er was serving. But seeing her attitude towards Man'er today,
A large part of my heart was sure that she and Man'er were related, so I didn't hesitate to expose it.
But if it is said that she has nothing to do with Man'er and is from northern Xinjiang, then this move is self-defeating and exposes Man'er's identity.
"Then I don't know why you left the palace and entered the mansion?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Aunt Qing said: "This is my slave's private matter. Can I not tell you?"
She paused, and then said with a hint of sarcasm: "Of course, if the master asks the slave, the slave cannot hide anything from the master. If the princess insists on knowing, the slave can tell her."
Yuan Qingling felt that Aunt Qing was good at seizing people's minds. After saying these words, asking her for her purpose would inevitably be a sign of coercion.
Yuan Qingling didn't ask, because this so-called purpose may not be true.
She looked at Aunt Qing. Judging from the appearance, there was really no similarity between her and Man'er. However, after this conversation and the look in her eyes, Yuan Qingling still felt that there was a familiar feeling and some similarity.
In fact, it is not in the skin and flesh but in the temperament and in the bones.
That thought came to mind again.
Yuan Qingling stroked her belly and rubbed her embroidery with her fingertips. Anyway, she had made it clear today. She didn't care about speculating on these two sentences. She looked at Aunt Qing and said, "Your name is Mu Qingqing, and you are the missing witch in northern Xinjiang."
Aunt Qing held the wide sleeves with her fingers, and slowly retracted her hands inward. She looked at Yuan Qingling without moving her eyes, and then said somewhat ridiculously: "Princess, you are really good at guessing."
Yuan Qingling did not let go of any of her subtle expressions and movements, and continued: "Mu Qingqing disappeared, but no one thought that she would marry the King of Southern Xinjiang as a concubine and give birth to a daughter."
Aunt Qing had a more exaggerated sarcastic smile on her face, and the muscles on her face finally trembled a little, "Everyone in Southern Xinjiang knows that the wizards in Northern Xinjiang and the king of Southern Xinjiang have been fighting secretly for a long time.
A witch is a leader chosen by the gods, so how can she go against the will of heaven?
That’s a capital crime!”
She guessed it right! Yuan Qingling looked at her expression and felt relieved in her heart. Mu Qingqing, the concubine, Aunt Qing, and Man'er's mother were all the same person.
This explains why she left the King of Southern Xinjiang in the first place, because she could not hide her identity and marry the King of Southern Xinjiang forever. Someone discovered it. Man'er said that her mother-in-law told her that someone was looking for trouble for her.
She went out to avoid the limelight just to hide from people in northern Xinjiang.
After she left the King of Southern Xinjiang, she might have wanted to avoid the limelight at first, but then the King of Southern Xinjiang and his family were killed. She could not go back, and the people in the north of Xinjiang would not let her go. She could only hide in a Xinjiang.
The place beyond the reach of the northerners is the capital, and that is the royal family in the capital.
This is also the reason why she is unwilling to leave the palace to serve Lao Jiu, because if she leaves the palace, she will be in danger.
But she came in the end because she knew that her daughter was in the capital, and she could only find out her daughter's whereabouts by leaving the palace.
She sighed softly, stood up and said: "If Man'er knew that her mother-in-law was still alive, I don't know how happy she would be, but I can't tell her now because it will kill her. Don't worry, the entire Chu Palace will do their best to protect her.
.”
Aunt Qing still sneered, but as Yuan Qingling pushed the door open and went out, her sneer disintegrated and collapsed bit by bit. Tears fell from her face, slid over her wrinkled skin, and fell into her lips. She almost
They have all forgotten the salty and bitter taste.
Yuan Qingling did not look back at her. Now that her identity was confirmed, she could be sure that she would not be harmful to Man'er. At the moment, it was best not to recognize each other.
