Feng Gouqing, after abandoning, walk alone in the world

Chapter 436 Soft Knife

The three people who didn't know each other well sat together, and they didn't feel awkward because of their respective backgrounds.

The topic never stopped, but soft knives were thrown out one after another, and the atmosphere was not as harmonious as it appeared.

After asking Xiaoer to change a pot of tea, Su Mianyue looked at Yuan Zijing and asked, "I don't know if Miss Yuan has heard about the fire in Zhengyang Building? Such a good restaurant was reduced to ashes overnight. Not to mention the loss of property, but many people were burnt to death, it's a pity that I can no longer taste the good wine and food of Zhengyang Tower, and I thought I would have a chance to drink with Miss Yuan again."

Yuan Zijing's face turned pale. Zhengyang Tower was a disgrace she would never mention in her life, and she watched from the dark when the Zhengyang Tower caught fire, and those who tarnished her innocence that day were burned forever in that fire. After leaving this world, she thought she would never recall that incident again in this life, but Su Mianyue's words made her unable to recall the most shameful day in her life...

The eyes that looked at Su Mianyue were full of hatred, and Hong Yanran, who didn't know the inside story, could see the viciousness. She shrank subconsciously, wanting to stay away from the poisonous snake Yuan Zijing.

"What's wrong with Ms. Yuan? Do you want someone to call for a doctor? I see that Ms. Yuan's face is not very good-looking." Su Mianyue said with sincere concern.

"No need." Yuan Zijing gritted her teeth and said these three words, trying to suppress her anger, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm just a little tired, just take a rest."

"It's because of Mianyue's discomfort. She knows that Ms. Yuan has not recovered yet but still brings Ms. Yuan to have tea." Su Mianyue said apologetically, and asked without waiting for Yuan Zijing's polite words: "Ms. Yuan hasn't answered yet." My question just now, does Ms. Yuan know about the Zhengyang Building? I have been living in the palace recently, and I don’t know much about the outside world. His Royal Highness would not care about these trivial matters. If it is not for leaving the palace today , I don’t know that Zhengyang Tower caught fire and killed people.”

Yuan Zijing's complexion became ugly again, and the servant girl hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Miss Su, my young lady hurt herself from drinking that day, and she has been raising the general in the mansion these days, so she doesn't know about these outside things. How can Qianjin talk about those things like drowning and dying, and I ask Miss Su to stop irritating my young lady, the doctor said that my young lady needs to rest now, so don't be sympathetic to others."

The servant girl’s words described Su Mianyue as being from an uneducated small family, and said that Yuan Zijing was a bodhisattva, but it made Yuan Zijing’s face look a little better, and she was very happy to appreciate Su Mianyue being insulted by a servant. appearance.

Su Mianyue smiled indifferently, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I thought Miss Yuan was showing her true side when drinking that day, so I talked a little more today, since Yuan If Miss is not feeling well, I won't be able to stay for a long time, so let's go." After seeing off the guests, he turned to look at Hong Yanran and asked, "Will Miss Hong come back to the palace with me, or go shopping again?"

"I went to Juxian Restaurant to look for Uncle Hong. I don't know if Uncle Hong is comfortable living here. I will return to the palace later." Hong Yanran shook her head.

"That's fine." Su Mianyue nodded, pointing to the palace man standing beside her and said, "Miss Hong, please take this maid with you. If there is anything to do, there should be a messenger, so that Miss Hong will not be able to enter if she accidentally forgets the time." Go to the palace gate."

Listening to Su Mianyue's tone of being the lord of the harem, Hong Yanran's face was slightly condensed, but she still nodded obediently and said, "Alright, then I will thank Miss Su for her kindness."

"I'll go ahead. I don't know if Ah Yu has had lunch. He doesn't care about his health when he's busy with state affairs." Su Mianyue seemed to be talking to herself, then waved her hand and went ahead. leave.

Yuan Zijing and Hong Yanran glanced at each other, they nodded in tacit understanding and left without even saying goodbye.

After leaving the teahouse, Su Mianyue said in a low voice, "Follow those two closely, and report quickly if something happens."

The people who passed by nodded their heads indiscriminately, and Su Mianyue whistled and headed towards the palace in a happy mood. It seems that she will not be able to go to Juxian Restaurant today. As for the whistling that attracted Su Mianyue said that she really didn't care about how many people paid attention.

When Su Mianyue returned to the palace, Ji Xun was still in the main hall, listening to the war of words between the kings and the courtiers. A group of civil and military fighters fought happily, and no one even noticed that the lunch time had passed.

He called the little eunuch who was waiting in the main hall, and after learning that Ji Xun didn't have lunch, Su Mianyue prepared light side dishes and porridge for Ji Xun in the small kitchen for the eunuch to deliver, and ordered Said: "Tell Ah Yu, I made this with my own hands, if you want to eat it next time, it will depend on when sister's mood improves."

After finishing speaking, Su Mianyue went back to her room to rest regardless of the little eunuch's embarrassing expression.

Since Su Mianyue moved into the palace, some news was sent directly to Jun Buhui. The five little ones didn’t complain about it, but Jun Buhui was so tired that he didn’t even have time to breathe, but Su Mian Yue Xian was so flustered that she could only go to Zhou Gong to play chess and chat, but she couldn't share the burden with Ji Xun all the time, couldn't she?
Ji Xun, who was a little bored at first, suddenly smelled the fragrance of food under his nose, and saw the little eunuch whispering Su Mianyue's words, especially when he said the word "sister", his voice trembled.

"Dinner should be well prepared." Ji Xun waved his hand with a smile, and scooped up a spoonful of porridge to taste. The soft and glutinous chicken porridge whetted the appetite. After several mouthfuls, Ji Xun realized that his ear The noise on the side disappeared, and I raised my eyes to look down, and saw that everyone who was still fighting with each other just now was looking at Ji Xun, or at the porridge bowl in Ji Xun's hand.

When a large group of people are arguing, no one remembers that it is already past lunch time, but once the smell of food is tempting, who has the strength to continue arguing?
"Go ahead, don't stop until this matter is discussed and come to a result." After Ji Xun said this, he continued to enjoy his delicious food, with no intention of preparing lunch for everyone.

Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw this, but some people's stomachs were more real than their mouths, and they gurgled in protest, but Ji Xun pretended not to hear it, so who would have the nerve to ask for a bite first?

At dinner time, the matter of the token finally came to a conclusion. Everyone agreed that King Qin Nan could not be the one who killed King Xiang. The two had no contact after entering Beijing. Even in the past, there was no intersection. Let alone hate.

But there is no proof that the guard who lost his token is dead. It is impossible to judge whether he committed suicide in fear of crime or was framed and killed. Even Wu Zuo couldn't be sure about this.

The most unlucky one was King Xiang, who died for no reason as a vassal, but no one spoke out to seek justice for him.
The dead guard of Qinnan Palace became the scapegoat for the murderer. Ji Xun asked the left and right prime ministers, and seeing that they all nodded, he ordered Dali Temple Secretary to write a document to solve the case, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could The kings signed their assent to the closing statement.

Ji Xundang even ordered someone to send this manuscript to King Xiang's fiefdom. As for King Xiang's body, it was handed over to Dali Temple for temporary custody, waiting for the son of King Xiang to come to retrieve the body before relocating it.

However, no matter whether King Qinnan was related to King Xiang's matter or not, he was guilty of not being strict with his orders. Before the arrival of King Xiang's son, he was responsible for acting as the leader of King Xiang and had to prepare a separate compensation, but the specific amount was not specified.
