After listening to Chen Fengxu's words, Qing Zhi thought of something, paused for a moment, suddenly turned her head to look at Chun Yi, her eyes showed a cold and biting color, and said word by word: "Madam, this servant is If you want to investigate clearly the person who was framed by this servant named Chunyi, you will naturally have to take Chunyi back for interrogation!"
Chun Yi's expression changed, she had betrayed Qing Zhi, and Qing Zhi naturally hated her. She could never be taken back by the eldest lady, so she turned to look at Shen Fengxu and said, "Girl, what do you want me to do to you?" There is absolutely no duplicity, and what I just said was absolutely no lie!"
Chen Fengxu also protected Chunyi and said, "Mom, just take Qingzhi back. Chunyi is from Guiyun Court, and I can trust Chunyi as a person."
The eldest lady probably felt that the rhetoric she just said could scare Shen Fengxu, so she said again: "Since we need to investigate, how can we not take her away? Do you want to disobey your aunt's wishes?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Fengxu flinched and could only say: "In that case, mother will take Chunyi away."
Chunyi turned pale with fright: "Girl, I can't go!"
If she went, what chance would she have of surviving? Qing Zhi would never let her go.
But Chen Fengxu also showed a look of confusion on his face, as if he really had no choice but to comfort him: "Chunyi, I have no way to keep you here. Since mother wants to investigate, you just go with her." Well, if you were innocent, my mother would definitely not have wronged you."
Qing Zhi just looked at Chunyi coldly.
No one will trust a capricious person. Chunyi betrayed Qing Zhi and turned to Shen Fengxu for his own benefit. Naturally, he will betray Shen Fengxu for the same reason in the future. Therefore, Shen Fengxu will never Qing Zhi also expected that Shen Fengxu would definitely agree to such a request.
Seeing Chun Yi's face turn pale with despair, Qing Zhi just looked at her coldly and said: "Chun Yi, I will settle this account slowly after I get back."
Dan Sha, who brought Chunyi into Guiyun Courtyard, also felt guilty and disappointed. She kindly took Chunyi in because she pitied Chunyi's experience, but she didn't expect Chunyi to be someone else's nail in Guiyun Courtyard.
Therefore, she did not say anything to stop him at this moment.
Chunyi's face turned pale and she looked at Shen Fengxu, praying that Shen Fengxu could save her: "Girl... girl... I can't go, please save your servant..."
But Shen Fengxu had already waved his hand and turned a blind eye to Chunyi. He just smiled and said to the doctor: "My mother is not well yet, so it's better not to stand in the wind and go back quickly."
Naturally, the eldest lady had no intention of chatting with Shen Fengxu, so she took Qing Zhi and Chun Yi away. Chun Yi tried to struggle, but Hong Qu had already loosened the rope holding Qing Zhi.
After being loosened, Qing Zhi grabbed Chun Yi.
Qing Zhi's cold and stern voice fell into Chun Yi's ears from behind: "Come with me, I think you know what you have done."
Saying that, he ignored Chunyi's struggle and took Chunyi away.
After the eldest lady took a few people back to Chunfangyuan, she asked Qingzhi about the whole story. Qingzhi only said that Chunyi had slandered her, and did not mention anything else.
A cool breeze blew in, blowing a few strands of hair from Qing Zhi's forehead, and there was already a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead, as if she was struggling internally.
The eldest lady raised her eyes to Qing Zhi and asked, "Did Chen Fengxu say anything else to you?"
Qing Zhi seemed to be in a daze, but she quickly composed herself. After a moment of silence, she said, "No more. Other than that, Miss Six didn't say anything to me."
After listening to Shen Fengxu's words, she did not inform the eldest lady about Shen Yulou's affairs, and the eldest lady didn't seem to see anything wrong, so she nodded.
After Qingzhi was dazed for a moment, she said again: "By the way, madam, about Chunyi..."
A cold look appeared on the eldest lady's face, and she said: "Since Chunyi belongs to Shen Fengxu, there is no need to let her go. Since she has slandered you, let you handle it yourself."
Hearing this, Qing Zhi lowered her head slightly: "Thank you, madam."
After a few more words with the eldest lady, Qing Zhi withdrew.
At this time, Chunyi was being tied up with his hands in the yard.
Seeing that the person coming forward was Qing Zhi, Chunyi was immediately frightened and turned pale, and stepped back repeatedly. However, he was tied with a rope, but he could not take a few steps back. Qing Zhi had a ferocious look on his face and said: "You Since you are thinking of betraying me, you should have expected what will happen today."
Chunyi cried loudly: "Sister Qingzhi, please let me go. Chunyi didn't want to do this at first. It's just that Miss Six had discovered this a long time ago and threatened her life, so Chunyi had to obey..."
Hearing this, Qingzhi frowned: "How did Miss Six know?"
Chunyi just made a random excuse, hoping to make Qingzhi show mercy, but Qingzhi suddenly asked this question, which stopped Chunyi. She rolled her eyes and said hurriedly: "Sister Qingzhi should also I know that there is a maid named Yun Wan who is very skilled in martial arts next to Miss Six. Her previous actions were all monitored by that servant called Yun Wan. Therefore, Miss Six knew early on that she was not the servant. Betrayed Sister Qingzhi..."
What she said was desolate and sad: "If there is a chance, I will not betray Sister Qingzhi, but Miss Six already knows everything, and I really have no choice..."
Although she was lying, she was telling the truth.
Qing Zhi asked coldly: "Is this really true?"
Chunyi nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes."
"Whether what you said is true or false, I will never let go of your betrayal of me." Qing Zhi grabbed Chunyi and dragged her out.
Chunyi asked for help: "Sister Qingzhi, please let me go. Chunyi will definitely do his best to Sister Qingzhi in the future."
But Qing Zhi remained expressionless and just dragged Chun Yi away, turning a blind eye to Chun Yi's shouting.
Everyone just listened to Chunyi's screams, which gradually faded away and became silent, but no one stepped forward to stop him.
…
Several days passed in succession.
It rained continuously for three days, and the entire capital was shrouded in gloom and mist.
There are teams of guards patrolling the streets, from the streets to the end of the alleys. Some teams are not the guards of the capital, but the Qinglin Guards, which makes people in the capital even more panicked.
What kind of thing led to such a big fight? Not only the guards patrolled back and forth, but also the people of the Qinglin Guards came one after another.
At this time, a group of Qing Linwei people were walking into a small alley.
One of them complained: "Isn't it just that I lost something? Isn't it necessary to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?"
Someone on the side immediately booed and said, "You can't say that. If someone hears it, you will suffer."
The man sighed and said: "That's right, but I really don't understand. It's not surprising that the emperor loves Jiang Xiaoyi, but he doesn't want us to go out and look for some jewelry like this, right? Besides, the jewelry was lost in the palace. , even if we look for it, we should look for it in the palace. What’s the point of asking us to come out and look for it? Don’t you think so, Brother Shen? "
The person who was talking to that person was none other than Shen Cang, the second son of Dongning Bofu. This was also the first time he had gone out to do business since he joined Qinglin Guards.
The cause of the matter is not complicated. The concubine who is favored in the palace now is Jiang Xianyue, who has just entered the palace, that is, Jiang Xiaoyi. Although according to the rules of the palace, she cannot be promoted without reason, but even though she is only Xiaoyi, Ming Jin also often stayed in Caiyue Palace. Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the most favored person now was Jiang Xiaoyi.
A few days ago, the phoenix tail step that Ming Jin gave to Jiang Xianyue disappeared.
Jiang Xiuyue was lost for a long time because of this. Ming Jin took pity on Jiang Xiuyue and sent people to find Bu Yao's whereabouts. Because of this, even the Qinglin Guards were sent out.
After searching all over the palace to no avail, they even searched outside the palace.
Shen Cang smiled and said: "Jiang Xiaoyi is being favored now, so there is nothing we can do about it."
Shen Cang also felt a little emotional. Before that, Jiang Xianyue was still the eldest girl of Yi'an Bo Mansion, but in just one month, earth-shaking changes had taken place.
The former cousin is now the emperor's favorite concubine in the palace.
One has to lament that things in the world are constantly changing.
The man was still sighing: "We joined the Qinglin Guards for the sake of our family and the country, not for women. We are really afraid that a smile will make a fortune, and the beacon war princes..."
Shen Cang hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and said, "Don't say such nonsense!"
That person also realized the problem. If such words were spoken and heard by someone with a heart, his life would be in danger.
When Shen Cang saw that he had reacted, he let go of his hand and said, "Be more careful next time. I'll just let it go if I hear it. If it's someone else, I don't know what will happen!"
The man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
A group of people were walking when they suddenly met people from the Prince's Mansion.
This was the alley near the East Palace. It was not surprising to meet the people from the Prince's Mansion. However, the alley was a bit narrow, so Shen Cang and others made way slightly.
But just as the people from the Prince's Mansion were about to pass by, Shen Cang suddenly noticed something strange, and he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"
People around him turned to look at Shen Cang.
But Shen Cang took a step forward, pointed at the people in the Prince's Mansion, and said, "What is in your box?"
The person in charge of the prince's residence frowned and said, "Are you going to take more care of the things that the prince ordered us to take out?"
On the side, Qing Linwei hurriedly pulled Shen Cang over: "Brother Shen, come back."
Although they were the imperial guards affiliated with Ming Jin, they could not offend His Highness the Crown Prince easily, not to mention that the others were just carrying the box and leaving. There was nothing wrong with it, but Shen Cang's behavior was too strange.
But Shen Cang did not retreat, but asked loudly: "What is in this box?"
The people in the Prince's Mansion became impatient and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Do you, a little guard, want to point out what the Prince does?"
The people from Qinglinwei also said: "Brother Shen, come back. After we patrol this area, we can go back."
No one would want to conflict with the prince's people unless necessary.
But Shen Cang didn't. He stubbornly stepped forward and blocked the way for the people from the Prince's Mansion, insisting: "If you don't tell us clearly what's in the box, you can't go there!"
Seeing the quarrel, it seemed that a fight was about to break out.
At this time, someone was coming from the direction of the Prince's Mansion. The person who came was the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion. Seeing that the atmosphere was serious and tense, he had some vague guesses. He walked over with a smile and asked: "What's this?" Aren’t you the master of Qinglinwei? What’s going on?”
Shen Cang asked calmly: "What is in this box? If you don't tell me clearly, you can't go there!"
The chief steward smiled gently: "So that's what you're asking, isn't it because His Highness the Crown Prince wants us to give something to someone? It's just some insignificant trinkets."
"Since it doesn't matter, let's open it and take a look." Shen Cang stepped forward and blocked the people from the Prince's Mansion in the alley. "If not, don't pass by here."
The chief steward still smiled and said: "Please, sir, please be a little accommodating. We are all in a hurry. If we arrive late and delay His Highness the Crown Prince's orders, we cannot afford it."
But Shen Cang was very stubborn: "If you are in a hurry, just let me take a look. Otherwise, I won't let you pass."
Seeing Shen Cang like this, the manager didn't argue with him, so he turned around and said, "You guys open the box."
The first box was opened.
Shen Cang took a look, but there was nothing special inside. Indeed, as the chief steward said, they were just insignificant gadgets.
So Shen Cang frowned deeply and asked, "Are these spices?"
The chief steward said with a smile on his face: "Yes, they are all spices. Since you have already seen them, can you let them go?"
After looking at it, there was no legitimate reason to stop the people from the Prince's Mansion, so Shen Cang got out of the way.
"Let's go." He said.
The smile on the chief steward's face became stronger and stronger, and he said: "Thank you, sir."
So the people from the Prince's Mansion carried a few boxes and walked out.
Shen Cang turned his head and looked at the people in the Prince's Mansion with a strange look in his eyes. Although he let them go, he still felt a little strange.
Qing Linwei, who had just been talking to Shen Cang, patted Shen Cang on the shoulder and asked, "Brother Shen, do you think something is wrong?"
One sentence stopped Shen Cang from questioning him. He couldn't explain it for a while, but the weird feeling still lingered.
"Brother Shen?" the man asked again.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Cang suddenly reacted.
It's the smell.
The aroma in the box is really too strong.
He knew that the box contained spices, and it would be fine if there were only aromas floating in the air, but that aroma did not come from unusual spices. The aroma in the air was so strong that it was nauseating.
There seems to be something hidden under the spice.
The fragrance floating in the air is just to cover up other things.
With Shen Cang thinking this, he once again stepped forward to stop the people from the Prince's Mansion.
