Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 768
"That's not it?"

Zhao Xi didn't answer.

The maidservants were all dumbfounded, staring straight at their young lady.

She slowly smoothed the hem of her skirt, lowered her legs slowly, then stood up slowly, and then turned around calmly.

"Huh?" Several people were even more puzzled when they saw her lift the curtain and enter the inner room.

But in the blink of an eye, the bead curtain was lifted, and she walked out gracefully with her hands behind her back.

"Ah?" Several people looked up and down, but found nothing unusual, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss, what are you trying to trick?"

"Someone is coming to find fault, we can't sit still." She blinked and smiled inscrutablely, "Your lady is preparing to fight!"

"Fight?"

Yin Bao was in high spirits, and said eagerly, "Okay, don't care what it is! As long as she dares to come, let's close the door and beat the dog!"

"That's right, just close the door and beat the dog." Zhao Xi nodded slightly.

Jinxiu was somewhat hesitant: "How to play?"

Zhao Xiwei stretched out his palm, and there was something extra in his palm.

The few people were very curious, and quickly took a closer look, and they were immediately discouraged: "Zongzi?"

"Yeah." Zhao Xiwei hung the zongzi on his fingertips, waved it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Beat the dog, of course we have to prepare something!"

"What kind of good thing is this??" The maidservants stared wide-eyed, thinking that their master was joking, "Can a zongzi defeat that old witch??"

"No, miss, don't underestimate the enemy!"

"It really doesn't work, let's send a letter to Dr. Liu..."

Zhao Xiwei stood still, just playing with the rice dumpling, and said calmly, "How do you think I guessed that?"

"Ah? Could it be... Doctor Liu?" Yin Bao shouted first.

Zhao Xi shook his head slightly.

"Then... is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Jinxiu frowned and whispered, "I didn't see Yuan Ce coming..."

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, looked at the zongzi, and said, "Have you all forgotten that the Zhao Mansion actually has a concubine?"

"What did you say!!" The few people were frightened by this sentence, and they were stunned for a while before they came to their senses and said anxiously: "You mean, the concubine Shu sent you a message?"

"Yeah." Zhao Xi slightly nodded.

Yin Bao scratched his head: "But the person sent by Concubine Shu didn't say anything! How did you know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jinxiu seemed to have thought of something, and walked around the zongzi.

The other three people also rushed over, staring at the rice dumpling without blinking.

The emerald green zongzi leaves are wrapped with a small zongzi that looks like a water chestnut. There are tassels made of red silk thread and warm jade beads on the zongzi.

"Don't look at it." Zhao Xiwei put away his palms and said with a smile: "Zongzi is nothing. The mystery is in the box."

"Ah?" The maids were so excited by her, they hurriedly said, "What's going on? Miss, please tell us all at once!"

Only then did Zhao Xiwei briefly explain the ins and outs.

Concubine Shu's gifts to her natal family are the same for everyone, but hers are different.According to Concubine Shu's style of being a person and doing things, and her attitude of being neither close nor far away, there must be a reason for this special thing.

Zhao Xiwei opened the gift box, checked it inside and out, and finally found a mezzanine under the box with a note stuck on it.

"Don't move the zongzi, it's a trick to attack the west."

"East hits west?" Jin Xiu pondered for a while, "Then who is east and who is west?"

"Of course we are Dong!" Yin Bao smiled triumphantly, "No wonder you don't want to give the gift to Da Furen! So it's for her own good! She really treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, no—— "Yinbao's tone was stern, "If you don't know Mrs. Xi..."

As soon as the words fell, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the mother-in-law's panic-stricken shout: "It's not good, it's not good! Da Furen, Da Furen's child, I can't keep it!"

"What!!?" Zhao Xi froze for a moment.

After reacting, he hurriedly stepped out of the room.

It was already dark at this time, a servant woman stood in the corridor, the lantern shone on her pale face, and her dark pupils were full of fear.

Seeing Zhao Xiwei coming out, he knelt down at the foot of the stone steps with a plop.

"Miss San! Please help!"

Things changed so quickly that Zhao Xiwei didn't come back to her senses for a while, and she didn't stay in Zhao's residence for many days, and the servant woman in front of her just seemed familiar, and she couldn't remember what it was at all.

"Mother Song!" Jinxiu still called out and reminded: "Have you notified the Prime Minister?" She put on a cloak for Zhao Xiwei, and whispered: "This is Mother Song who is next to Da Furen. The princess mansion followed."

Zhao Xiwei said "oh" lightly, looking thoughtfully at the kneeling person on the ground.

As expected, Mama Song was selected by the eldest princess. She was indeed the most capable servant girl around Xu Yunjiao. After entering the palace, there is no one in the mansion who can take care of things. You are the princess personally appointed by His Majesty, and only you can have a say in the affairs of the palace... Miss San, you are a kind-hearted person , you won’t die without help, will you?”

Zhao Xiwei didn't speak.

The emperor is ill, and all the imperial physicians have to stay in the palace on duty, who dares to invite them without authorization?
What's more, with the emperor's crooked appearance, he was not afraid of [-], just in case. If this critical moment really happened and the emperor died, who was to blame for this eternal crime?

Jinxiu understood immediately, and said kindly, "Mother Song, it's getting dark today, why don't you think of a way to send a letter to Xiangye quietly?"

Although everyone in the whole family knew that Zhao Ziyi didn't like this lady, but since Xu Yunjiao became pregnant with this child, the relationship between husband and wife gradually showed signs of breaking the ice.

Husband and wife love each other for a day, even if there is no love between husband and wife, the child is always his own, so he can't just leave it alone, right?

however……

"No! Absolutely not!" Mother Song shook her head desperately, and said decisively: "You must not implicate Master Xiang in this matter!"

Zhao Xiwei was surprised: "He is the head of the family. If his wife is in trouble, how can he stay out of it? It's just sending a letter, so how can you get involved? Besides, the life of the lady is hanging by a thread. Let's count?"

"No..." Mother Song stopped her sobs suddenly, she raised her head, her face could not hide her embarrassment: "Liao Li, I shouldn't have said that...but I...but..."

Zhao Xiwei was not in a hurry and just waited for her quietly.

There is still time to talk to her, and there is still time to worry about Zhao Ziyi, which shows that Xu Yunjiao's situation is not particularly dangerous.

Mother Song muttered for a long time, Fang Yi gritted her teeth, and said: "Madam, speaking of it, Mr. Xiang has something to do with it... To tell you the truth, if you are not afraid of getting angry, I want to deliver a letter to the palace more than anyone else, but the old man People stop me. Besides, "

She lowered her head, and said in a strangely bitter tone, "The eldest lady said, if this matter hurts the prime minister, she will die with a rope..."

Zhao Xi pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.

After all, everyone in the whole family thought that Xu Yunjiao could die, but Zhao Ziyi's official career should not be troubled.

This also includes Xu Yunjiao herself.

Should we say that this woman is pitiful, or that she is deplorable?
