Chapter 346: Confrontation
Chapter 346
Just when the fourth master's thoughts were taken away by the past events of Huang Pozi's family, and Erfu was so angry that Huang Pozi forgot about his business, Qinghe suddenly seemed to have learned mechanical dance by himself, and changed from the original kneeling posture to half lying on the ground, his arms and legs twitching in a strange regularity, and his throat made a hoarse snoring sound......
The struggle that symbolized death gradually subsided, and the corners of Qinghe's mouth and eyes were covered with black and purple blood, and the whole person was lying on the snow-white palace blanket on all fours, revealing the beauty of evil spirits, which was extremely weird.
"She ......" The first time someone died in front of her, Erfu was scared stupid, grabbed the palm of the fourth master, and her lips trembled and only one syllable was taken into the arms of the fourth master, covering a pair of apricot eyes that she obviously wanted to close, but had to stare at.
"If you don't get it down, you're all dead!" The fourth master glanced at Yaoqin very dissatisfied, and shouted without any pity.
"Don't!" Erph had already made up her mind to learn to be strong, and hurriedly tore off the fourth master's big hand that was covering her eyes, and screamed.
Before Erff crossed, her favorite thing was to hold her notebook and watch American dramas on the bed, and the most regrettable thing about her coming here was that she couldn't see her parents and brother again, that is, she didn't see the finale of the bones, and the female doctor in the play who could tell the cause of death by looking at the dry bones was definitely one of her idols.
After that brief period of fear, the power of the idol was brought into play.
She firmly pushed away the fourth master who wanted to be her umbrella, walked to Qinghe's corpse, and took a closer look at Qinghe's distorted face. Eventually, a suspicion was found.
There is a small black spot on Qinghe's wrist, which does not look like a birthmark, black mole or other traces, but rather a needle's eye. What are the specific traces, she really can't see it!
"Let me investigate carefully!" Erfu believes that in the TV series, there are capable people who can distinguish the cause of death of the deceased based on bones, so with the ability of the fourth master, he will definitely be able to find a capable person like Song Ci who wrote the record of clearing grievances.
Erfu returned to the fourth master without changing her face, and looked coldly at Bi Lin who was kneeling beside Qing He, if her guess was true, the pinhole was really the cause of Qing He's death, and it happened to be Bi Lin who was kneeling beside her. That's definitely the biggest suspect.
After all, in front of the master, a little pain, Qinghe will definitely endure it.
Is that the pinhole so powerful? At the same time, I also doubt that Bi Lin has such decisive action!
"Bi Lin, Qinghe died so suddenly, there is no way to prove your words, if I say that people will be locked in the side room now. Will you not be convinced?" a guess flickered in Erph's mind. A sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he asked slowly.
"The stakes are high, slaves and maids listen to their masters' orders!" Bi Lin kowtowed with sincerity on her face.
"Okay, after this matter is clarified, if it really has nothing to do with you, I will transfer you into the room to serve and take Qinghe's errand. But if it's the other way around...... You should know what is going to happen to you!, after all, no one will leave an unfaithful person to serve by his side!" Erph said as calmly as possible, but her eyes seemed to be on Bilin. looked at Bi Lin for a moment, for fear of missing her every expression.
Bilin nodded happily, looking very calm, but Erf didn't believe it.
After seeing too many calculations, Erfu is no longer a simple girl, even if she can't do it without changing her face, but she will no longer discuss with them what life is precious, everyone has to pay the price for their actions, otherwise everyone thinks she is weak and bullying, then she and her four children will not have a peaceful life!
"Yaoqin, I'll hand over Bi Lin to you to guard, if something happens to her, don't blame me for being rude!" Erfu turned her eyes to look at Yaoqin who was standing and waiting, and commanded coldly.
Yaoqin complied, and after getting Erfu's permission, she raised her hand and beckoned Bi Lin to follow her from the back door to the side room in the backyard.
The side room and the wing room are arranged on both sides of the back cover room in a parallel way, in addition to Erfu's private library, there are several empty residences, originally Erfu was going to arrange the personal palace maid there, but later found that the west wing room except for a bathroom, the other two rooms are empty, so people are arranged to be close to the palace maid's residence, and the side room is empty here.
Yaoqin randomly chose an empty side room and opened the lock with a bunch of keys.
"I don't know how long you're going to stay here, I'll send you the luggage later, you can go sit down for a while!" Yaoqin pointed to the shelf bed with only a bed board and said softly.
Bi Lin nodded slightly, obediently walked into the side room, turned to Yaoqin and smiled, "I'm tired of Sister Yaoqin!"
"What the master commands is not troublesome. In the future, I will personally deliver three meals a day, and hand over all the sharp things on your body to me, as well as the sachets on your body, so as not to cause any misunderstanding!" Yaoqin was unmoved, standing at the door of the side room without moving, pointing to a pair of plain silver hairpins on Bi Lin's head, and reminded softly.
Bi Lin smiled and took off the hairpins and beads on the bun, and took off the sachets, purses and other bits and pieces in the waist and sleeves, and put them all on the square table, and handed the tablecloth with tassels to Yaoqin in three or two clicks.
"You can rest first!" Yaoqin glanced at the things in the tablecloth with satisfaction, and locked the double partition doors with a single sentence, turning back to the main room.
......
"Settled?" Erph asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, master!" Yaoqin replied with a smile.
The side room seems to be just locked the door, but there are more than a dozen guards dispatched by Chen Gonggong hidden on the left and right, if someone really approaches, it will definitely not be able to hide the eyes of those people, which is also what Erfu whispered before.
The fourth master just quietly watched Erfu arrange these matters, giving her enough rights, watching Xiao Nizi, who has always ignored the world, arranging in an orderly manner, and watching her gradually getting better, he said that he was very relieved.
"Is Imperial Doctor Hu here?" Erfu didn't ask any more, and pressed Bilin's matter. He turned his eyes and asked about other things.
"I'm already checking in the wing!"
Yaoqin fully played her role, although it seemed that she had been by Erfu's side, but she did not miss a trace of attention to the things outside. Even the matter of Imperial Doctor Hu, who was accompanied by Zhang Mingde and Zhao Dezhu, could be explained clearly.
Erfu nodded lightly, turned her eyes to look at Mama Jin and Mama Shen, who were still a little confused, and let out a long sigh in her heart.
If she didn't guess wrong, Mama Jin's snooze and confusion were definitely due to inhaling some kind of drug, and whether it was Mama Shen's hands and feet or not, Erfu was a little unsure for a while. After all, she can really be so ruthless in blocking the lives of her family like this!
"Mama Shen, Mama Jin. What have you two used since you entered the house?" asked Orph in a low voice.
"It's just a meal from the kitchen!" Mama Shen and the two glanced at each other and replied in unison.
"What was delivered to you by the hands of the others?" asked Erph without giving up.
"Uh...... Glutinous rice balls!" the two shouted in tacit agreement again, not even in the slightest intonation, which made Erfu suspect that they were deliberately making a scene.
"What glutinous rice ball?" said Erph sullenly.
"It's a plate of five-color glutinous rice balls. It was also made into a diamond-shaped plate. There is a sweet bean paste filling inside, and the slave doesn't like sweets, and she doesn't like the sticky strength of glutinous rice, so she gave it to Mama Jin to eat, and there should be two pieces left!"
This time, Mama Jin was speechless, and Mama Shen introduced it clearly as if she had found some breakthrough, and she looked quite anxious to make meritorious contributions.
"Where did you put it??" Erph didn't remember seeing the so-called five-colored glutinous rice dumplings in the wing. Asked a little strangely.
"It's always placed on the corner table between the two beds!" said Mama Shen as a matter of course.
Erf was even more sure that she didn't see the plate of five-colored glutinous rice balls, if it had been placed beside it. She may have been negligent and didn't see it, but there was hot tea served to her by Mama Jin on the corner table, and she drank a few sips, so she didn't see that someone moved.
"Grandma Kim, do you remember where that snack is?" Erff asked, turning to Grandma Kim.
"It's in that corner, the slave is so tired today, and she still lay down and ate a piece before!" Mama Jin pinched the hem of her sleeve and replied with her head down.
Erfu didn't know whether to praise Mama Jin's honesty, or to be angry with Mama Jin, a slave who couldn't see the master's face clearly, look at the corners of the fourth master's obviously mocking mouth, she, the owner of the West Courtyard, is so embarrassed!
"Do you remember when you last saw that snack?" asked Erph, trying to pull back the topic.
"It should have been seen when the slave maid saw Mama Shen leading a strange palace maid into the wing, and she didn't see it when the slave woke up!" Mama Jin didn't know why the corners of Erfu's mouth twitched vigorously, but she still answered honestly.
When Mama Shen heard this, the corners of her eyes twitched, this thing is stupid, right!
She said that she had never led a strange palace maid into the wing, how could this thing not make sense, and I don't know if the master heard this in his heart, her future is so bleak!
"Let Qinglian and Yumei come over!" Erfu didn't bother to pay attention to Mama Jin, and turned to Yaoqin and ordered. Qinglian and Yumei are the two palace maids who saw a strange palace maid enter the east wing, one is a close palace maid who is waiting beside her, and the other is a palace maid who is waiting under the corridor.
Soon, the two palace maids followed Yaoqin into the west room.
"What kind of dress do you see strange palace maids?" asked Erph, turning her head.
Qinglian was slightly stunned, and quickly reflected, knelt beside Shen Mama in a regular manner, and replied respectfully: "When the slave maid saw the strange palace maid, she was also accompanied by a slave dressed as a grandmother, and the palace maid was wearing a pink palace maid dress similar to ours, with a small lotus flower embroidered on the hem of the robe, and a plain pink tassel on the placket. ”
"Why do you look so closely?" asked Erph maliciously.
"That person is quite tall, and the palace maid's costume looks very indecent on her, and the slave maid feels a little strange, so she takes a few more looks, and the grandmother is dressed a little similar to Shen Mama, so the slave and maid keep these details in mind!" Qinglian replied without changing her face.
"What about you?" Erfu asked Yumei, the little palace maid who had not spoken in the second room. Yumei's name is very similar to the maid who served by her side before, and Yumei is good-looking, and her gestures are flattering, so Erfu paid special attention to her, and sent her back to the house to prepare for work quite tentatively.
When Yumei heard this, she saluted respectfully, "The slave doesn't remember as clearly as Qinglian, but she also feels that something is not quite right with that person, and she glanced over there a few more times, and saw that there was no strange movement, so she left this matter behind!"
"You said that Mama was dressed a little similar to Mama Shen, why did you say that?" Seeing that Erfu couldn't ask a reason, she had to focus on Qinglian again and continued to ask.
"That grandma's face is about forty or fifty years old, but she is wearing a lotus pink robe, and her hair is also decorated with a five-treasure beaded flower, which looks very out of tune, and when she looks at Shen Mama's outfit, she feels that the person seems to be deliberately imitating Shen Mama!" Qinglian glanced at Shen Mama and whispered a little embarrassed. 、
Mama Jin showed a sudden sense of relief, but it made Erfu's heart sink.
I don't know if it's because she's psychologically dark, she always feels that Qinglian's description is too careful, and her words seem to be intentionally whitewashing Mama Shen, in short, she didn't doubt Mama Shen again.
"I see that you described it very carefully, and I can estimate the age of the man, I think I saw the man's face, if I asked someone to draw the man's appearance, you might recognize it?" Erph asked coldly.
"The slave asked herself, this eyesight is not bad, she should be able to recognize it!" Qinglian raised her eyes with a confident glint in her eyes and said.
"You also saw that strange palace maid, can you describe what that person looks like?" Erfu asked, turning her eyes to Yumei.
Compared with Qinglian's self-confidence, Yumei's answer had a lot of uncertain swaying, and her tone was full of hesitation and uncertainty in her reply: "It should be possible, but the slave is not good at words, I'm afraid I can't accurately describe the appearance of that person!"
"It's okay, I'll arrange for someone to paint a portrait of that man in a moment, there's no hurry!" said Elder whispered with a smile.
After speaking, he turned to look at Mama Jin and Mama Shen who were still stunned, his eyes rolled on them, and after a while, he turned around and whispered a few words to Yaoqin, so that the palace people who were still gathered in the hall dispersed, and called the fourth master to go back to the inner room of the east room to rest.
"This matter is not certain, what can Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu do?" Erf looked at Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu with some worry and muttered.
"It's just a few grandmothers...... In order to choose the right nipple for them that day, Ye Ke asked the Internal Affairs Office to send seven or eight people, but later he thought the two of them were suitable and sent them to you!" The fourth master said indifferently with Erfu's shoulder.
"Even Mama Shen and Mama Jin, I don't feel at ease, I'm afraid it's even more uneasy to use this kind of temporary filling!" Erfu expressed her opinion with some disapproval, and her eyes were full of disgust to look at the big hands on her shoulders. (To be continued......)
