Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 567
Here, concubine Ming accompanies Miss Shen to go shopping in the garden, while concubine Wang and Mrs. Shen are sitting in the gazebo drinking tea.

In Changhui courtyard, the old lady asked the eldest wife and the third wife to leave.

The maids were quite discerning, knowing that the old lady and Mother Qian had something to say alone, so they all withdrew.

After everyone left, the old lady looked at Qian's mother and said, "What's going on?"

Mama Qian's back trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Old lady, please calm down, this servant has made her own decisions."

The old lady's eyes turned cold.

Mother Qian knelt down and said, "Old Madam, you know that I have a nephew from my maiden's family who stayed at Mu's house, and that was used by Mrs. Mu to manipulate me. Although it is a nephew, I didn't think his life was so important. , but after all, he is the only bone and blood of my Qian family, he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and his life was dying, so the slaves rushed to see him."

"I was afraid that I wouldn't see him for the last time, so the servant hurried away and knocked down Xi'er, the concubine's close servant. After returning to the mansion, the servant went to apologize to the concubine. The concubine asked the concubine what she was in such a hurry, and the servant told the truth said."

"The concubine didn't say anything at the time. The maidservant knelt down and begged the concubine to save her. The concubine wanted to ask the concubine to help her, but the concubine was the nephew of the concubine who healed. "

Qian Mama said half-truth and half-falsely, which seemed to be the case.

The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Saved?"

Mama Qian shook her head, "I don't know yet, the concubine Shi Zi gave him an injection, vomited poisonous blood, prescribed a prescription, and the servant sent him back to Mu's house. The servant did everything that the servant could do, and the rest can only be Let's see his good fortune, and see if the ancestors of the Qian family will protect this single seedling."

The old lady did not doubt Qian's mother's words, she raised her hand and said, "Get up."

Mother Qian just got up and helped the old lady go back to the inner room.

After sending off Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen, Concubine Ming was a little tired, and lay on the imperial concubine's couch to hold her body.

The self-written testimony of Qian's mother, Ming concubine and the unwritten letter were put together.

One thing hadn't been resolved yet, another one came up, Mingyu was both excited and had a headache, at this moment, she missed Chu Mochen very much, if only he was here.

There is also the prince, it is most appropriate for the old lady to be investigated by the prince. Although she has stayed in the Zhennan Palace for a long time, she does not know anyone, especially the old man from decades ago. She wants to investigate. easy.

Xi'er guessed what Ming concubine was thinking, she said, "Why don't I ask someone to inquire about it?"

Ming concubine took a look at Xi'er and said, "Wait for two days before inquiring, so as not to harm Mama Qian."

After all, it is a witness, so it has to be protected.

The old lady is not only ruthless, but also very smart, just after saving Mother Qian's "nephew", she inquired about the past decades ago, there is no guarantee that the old lady will not guess something.

This matter is of great importance, and it is better to kill the wrong than let it go. At that time, not only Mama Qian will be in danger, but both she and Director Chu will be in danger.

Xi'er was very obedient, she really didn't ask anything.

The old lady's doubts were dispelled. After a few days of worrying, Mama Qian gradually let go of her heart.

These days, Kyoto is very lively.

The imperial examination was cheated, and the emperor allowed a re-examination, and the results have already been released.

The scholar Ming concubine recognized was at the top of the high school list, and the emperor hand-picked him as the number one scholar, and the students all over the world cheered for joy.

Although the high school students are not necessarily them, but the imperial examination is fair, and only the children of poor families in the world have the hope of entering the imperial court and becoming an official.

More importantly, the scholar lived in Su's mansion, and because of this, the old man Su asked the emperor to write the questions for the imperial examination this time in order to avoid suspicion.

That day, after the emperor set the questions, Father Deshun sent the sealed questions to the examination room to ensure that the questions would not be leaked.

On this day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

Ming concubine drank tea at the stone table in the backyard, watching the clouds roll and calm in the sky.

It should have been extremely comfortable, but was disturbed by the sound of fighting.

In the quiet backyard, the sound of swords and soldiers meeting was particularly ear-piercing, Ming concubine put down the teacup in her hand, and walked looking for the sound.

Xi'er was afraid that Concubine Ming would be in danger, so she said, "Concubine Shizi, let's not go?"

Ming Yu said, "I have to find out who is wielding knives and sticks in Chen Xiangxuan's backyard."

When she walked over, she saw Zhao Cheng and a man competing...or, fighting.

The man's moves are vicious, Zhao Cheng mainly defends and does not attack.

Ming concubine saw it and said, "Stop it all!"

Zhao Cheng stopped first, but the man didn't stop, he stabbed with a sword, Zhao Cheng couldn't dodge it, his arm was stabbed, and the blood was stained red.

Ming concubine's face turned green, in Chen Xiangxuan, no one had so blatantly ignored her words.

Ming concubine walked over, the man withdrew his hand, Ming concubine asked Zhao Chengdao, "Who is he?!"

Zhao Chengdao, "He is the master's secret guard."

Ming concubine smiled coldly, "Why did the master's secret guard come to my backyard, Chen Xiangxuan?"

The man said, "I'm just competing with him."

"I don't want to compete with you!" Zhao Cheng said coldly.

The man didn't answer, sometimes you can't discuss if you don't want to.

Ming concubine was irritated by the man's attitude. She looked at the man and said coldly, "Aren't you going? If you don't want to go, I don't mind letting you stay here forever!"

The man's face changed, he knew how powerful the concubine's poisoning was, and could quietly take people's lives.

He jumped up and walked like a ghost, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Ming concubine asked Zhao Cheng to go back to the house to give him medicine, Zhao Chengdao, "A little injury, it's fine."

Xi'er came over with the medicine box and carefully helped Zhao Cheng treat the wound, probably because he was too scared, his hands trembled a little, Zhao Cheng gasped in pain.

Xi'er became even more flustered, and diverted his attention by saying, "Why does the master's hidden guard ask you to discuss?"

And it's not a sparring match, it's chasing after him.

Zhao Cheng said with a solemn expression, "It should be the elder who found out that I haven't stayed in the backyard of Chen Xiangxuan for a long time, and suspected that I assassinated the third young master and asked the hidden guard to look at the wound."

The hidden guards kept attacking his back, but they didn't dare to kill him, the purpose was obvious.

Fortunately, he was not there, so someone sent a letter to Director Chu, and asked the secret guard who guarded the prince's study to spare to protect the princess.

Otherwise, every move of the Crown Princess in the backyard will be under the eyes of the Grand Master.

Zhao Cheng is lucky, and Ming concubine is also lucky. She is glad that she was careful enough to let Zhao Cheng stay in the Dingbei Hou Mansion to recuperate. That was really the meat on the chopping board of the old master's secret guard.

The dark guard returned to the east courtyard and went to the study to see the elder.

The elder asked, "What can you find out?"

The dark guard shook his head, he was about to speak, but his throat tickled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

When the elder got up from the desk, the dark guard's lips turned purple, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.

The old man trembled with anger.
