The farmer has a mall

Chapter 281
Grandma Liu is in her fifties, she is considered relatively older in the palace.

She was one of Empress Wei's dowry maids back then, and she has stayed in Weiyang Palace for more than ten years, becoming the old nanny here, taking care of trivial matters all the time.

So when she saw the thief she recognized him immediately.

"magnanimity!"

Grandma Liu yelled in surprise, then frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Where did you hide, I searched for you this morning and couldn't find you for a long time, why did you run to the princess?"

"Grandma Liu recognizes him?"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be very familiar with each other, Gu Nanyan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course the old slave recognizes him. He is the eunuch in charge of our Weiyang Palace, and he is in charge of the chores in the yard together with the old slave."

Seeing Hong Liang bowed his head and said nothing, and there was a tall and strong man who looked like a foreigner standing behind him vigilantly, Mammy Liu's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, what did Hong Liang do to make you angry?"

She looked up at Gu Nanyan who was sitting on top with some anxiety, and looked at Hong Liang with worry in her eyes.

Hearing that this person is from Weiyang Palace, Gu Nanyan frowned.

"This man ran to the posthouse where the princess stayed yesterday to steal something, and was caught by our brother."

Ashlan's voice was already rough, but because of the frequent military training, her voice was a little louder, so she turned pale with fright when she opened her mouth.

"This...how is this possible!"

Grandma Liu didn't believe it, and anxiously stepped forward and said to Gu Nanyan: "This Hong Liang has some minor problems on weekdays. He likes to be lazy and likes to drink a few cups, but he is a good manager, and he has never heard of it in so many years. Who did he steal from?"

She glanced at Ashlan nervously, doubting: "Could it be a mistake?"

Gu Nanyan pondered for a moment and looked at Ashlan.

"There will be no mistakes!" Ashlan affirmed.

"Not to mention that he was still carrying a dagger and almost wiped my brother's neck from behind. Even if there was a misunderstanding, why did he bite his tongue and kill himself immediately after we caught him?"

Everyone in the kamikaze team was personally selected by the princess, and their skills and vigilance are definitely not something a eunuch can easily approach.

Moreover, based on his experience, suicide by biting his tongue is either a guilty conscience, or someone ordered him to commit suicide for fear of being forced to confess!

"Bite your tongue!"

Grandma Liu looked at Hong Liang's mouth in disbelief, and sure enough, she found blood at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing her stunned, Gu Nanyan, who had been silent all this time, asked, "How many years has this Hong Liang been in the palace, and who is he usually close to?"

Grandma Liu replied in a daze: "Hong Liang entered the palace when he was more than ten years old. He used to be in charge of pouring Ye Xiang in the Leng Palace. Later, I don't know who he provoked and was almost beaten to death in the Leng Palace. Thanks to the kindness of the empress." , and saved him by the way.”

"As for the person he befriends..." Liu Momo shook her head.

"Hong Liang's temperament is withdrawn. He usually doesn't say a word except for doing things. Even when he sees the old man, he just nods his head as a greeting. The only person who can make him say a few more words is the empress..."

Thinking of her master, Grandma Liu's eyes were moist, and she couldn't help but threw herself in front of him and patted him on the back a few times.

"You unbelievable thing, do you know who this is?!"

"This is our little master, the little princess whom the empress worked so hard to save!"

Grandma Liu seemed to be overwhelmed by her anger, and her attack was no longer serious, she beat Hong Liang to the ground after a few blows.

"You talk about your mother as your savior every day in front of my old body. If it weren't for your mother, you would have become a handful of loess, and now you are doing such evil things and want to kill someone!"

Her palms slapped, but Hong Liang lay face down on the ground without saying a word, motionless.

Hearing her mention of Queen Wei, Hong Liang clenched his hands unconsciously.

Grandma Liu was a little older, and she was a little unstable due to her emotional agitation, and her lips were a little pale.

Gu Nanyan frowned and gave Ashlan a wink, asking him to take Hong Liang out.

After her mood improved a bit, Gu Nanyan slowly said: "This large amount is defended..."

She paused for a moment, and then said, "You were rescued by the queen mother?"

"Do you know what happened to him back then?"

Although the death of a young eunuch in the cold palace is not a big deal.

Maybe he hates him so much that he wants to beat him to death, but I'm afraid it's not such a trivial matter.

Grandma Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her cloudy eyes were red.

Hearing Gu Nanyan ask her, she hurriedly replied: "I don't know about this matter. At that time, I was in charge of the small kitchen, and I never followed the empress to serve."

Gu Nanyan pondered for a moment and then said: "Then do you know anyone who knows the ins and outs of this matter?"

Grandma Liu shook her head, with a sad expression: "The people who followed the empress all those years ago died, and we are the only ones who are not serving in the inner hall."

She hesitated to speak and looked at Gu Nanyan: "The old slave knows that Hong Liang made a big mistake, and he deserves to be beaten and punished, even if he is disabled, I just ask you to keep him. A little life..."

Gu Nanyan picked up the teacup on the table and sipped lightly: "He almost killed the people in my palace."

Seeing her calm expression, Liu Mama thought she was angry and hurriedly said: "This old slave knows that even if this beast dies a thousand times, it will not be able to atone for its sins."

"But seeing that there are fewer and fewer people who have served the empress these years, only the old slave and Hong Liang are left. The old slave just wants to..."

The corner of her mouth moved, but in the end she just let out a sigh.

Gu Nanyan didn't speak, and after dismissing her, sat alone for a long time.

According to Grandma Liu's description of Hong Liang, he should be a person with little sense of existence, and he has managed the Weiyang Palace very well these years, and he seems to be quite peaceful.

But such a transparent person who doesn't even say a word, why did he suddenly go to the post to steal the kamikaze team's weapon?
This is unreasonable, so she intuitively felt that there must be someone behind this eunuch.

At first she thought it was Concubine Ning Gui who instructed him, but it didn't look like him.

Gu Nanyan looked at the place where Hong Liang lay down, where two drops of water were very conspicuous.

Her brows raised again, and she felt irritated in her heart. She couldn't help raising her hand to hold down her throbbing temple.

When Fu Tuo came, he saw her exactly like this.

He hurriedly strode over and said with a worried expression, "But the poison in your body has flared up again?"

Yesterday, Gu Nanyan told them that the poison had little effect on her, and it would resolve itself within half a year at the most, but he was still worried.

Looking at his younger sister's small face, Fu Tuo pursed his lips: "You can be sure that the poison will not harm you, just looking at your face doesn't look like you are fine."

This morning, Gu Nanyan just wiped her face and tied it into a ponytail before going out. She didn't look in the mirror at all. She thought he was talking about her irritable appearance, so she shook her head slowly.

"This thing is just lighting me up, it's okay."

Seeing that she had taken it all away, he didn't want to talk about it. Fu Tuo knew that his sister was good at medicine and didn't ask any more questions.

He asked Sun Yuyi last night to ask him to develop an antidote. He only hoped that his actions could be quicker so as to save his sister from suffering.

He concealed the worry in his heart, patted the top of her head pretending nothing happened, and talked about what happened this morning.

"Father is serious this time. He put Concubine Ning Gui and Fu Lang into the dungeon, and also put the ministers who were with them yesterday."

Fu Tuo smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"You didn't see that Ning Zongqing ordered someone to carry him to the main hall early in the morning to appeal for grievances. He lay there unable to move, crying and fussing, and clapped his father's chest to his chest."

Seeing how happy he was, Gu Nanyan imagined the scene at that time, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the depression accumulated in his heart dissipated instantly.

Fu Tuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief when his sister finally showed a smiling face.

"One more thing." He gently touched Gu Nanyan's head.

"Father has announced your identity in the morning, and from now on you will be the justifiable Princess Anyang!"
