Chapter 975

The layout of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is generally the same as the upper room of the main courtyard, the only difference is that there is no ear room on both sides, and there is no modern flushing toilet, so the guy style used for washing is placed behind a corner screen, fortunately, Shilan and others are diligent in their hands and feet, and the room is burning with a faint jasmine fragrance, but there is no peculiar smell.

Erfu in the east room put down the chopsticks, and there was no need to instruct more, Shilan took back the leftovers on the tea table into the food box, carried it and put it on the porch outside, and asked the little palace maid to send it back to the kitchen, while Shiqing neatly found the clothes to be changed from the cabinet, and at the same time beckoned the little palace maid waiting outside to go to the kitchen to get water.

After a while, the tub with cedar inlaid with copper hoops was brought in from the outside.

Erfu sat on the beauty couch by the window, watching the palace people pour buckets of steaming hot water into it, and watched buckets of cold water pour into it, and then Shilan stepped forward to test the water temperature, after determining the water temperature, she personally sprinkled the petals of flowers that had been prepared next to her evenly on the water surface, and ordered the palace people to leave a bucket of hot water, so they sent out these palace people who brought water, turned their heads and reminded Erfu who was sitting by the window: "Master, the water for this bath is ready, and the slave maid will wait for you to change your clothes!"

"I'll just come by myself, and you can take advantage of this time to bring down the curtains. Erph got up with a light smile, waved her hand slightly, pointed to the curtain held by the golden hook, and commanded softly, the bathtub was placed in the floor of the inner room, different from the clean room in the house, there was no screen by the window to block the view, she didn't want to sit in the bathtub in front of so many servants outside.

After Erph's reminder, Shilan noticed the window with good lighting.

Her delicate and fair little face turned red in an instant, as if there was no root under her feet, and her steps were very fluttering and she took a few steps to the window, and in a panic, she tore off the curtain held by the golden hook in a panic, and made sure that there was no omission, and then returned to Erfu with a red face, "The slave is so negligent that she didn't even notice this kind of thing." ”

"It's not a big deal, don't make such a fuss, just come over and wipe my back for me, I don't know if I've eaten something wrong, I always feel that it's itchy all over my body." Hearing this, Erfu shook her head with a smile, and then slid the water twice, her arms that had been on both sides of the barrel edge, overlapped on the edge of the bucket in front of her, and her head tilted on her arm, and softly beckoned Shilan to come forward.

When Shilan heard this, she took the dry cloth handkerchief on the edge of the bucket and twisted it in the water, and was about to wipe Erfu's back, but before she could touch Erfu's shoulder, there was a somewhat abrupt sound outside, as the big palace maid who had a face in front of Erfu, Shilan twisted her eyebrows unhappily, and secretly peeked at Erfu lying on the edge of the barrel, seeing that Erfu closed her eyes as if she hadn't heard the movement outside, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her voice, and replied softly: " Master, there's something wrong with the movement outside, do you want the slave to go out and take a look!"

The voice of the palace maid outside, Erfu had actually heard it a long time ago, but the feeling of warm water around her was as comfortable as her mother's embrace, which made her reluctant to open her eyes, and she was really tired, so she ...... As soon as Shilan opened her mouth at this time, Erfu naturally agreed to Shilan's proposal happily, and casually responded, "Go, if there is nothing serious, I will leave it to the housekeeper of the Old Summer Palace to deal with it." With that, she leaned back, half-lying in the tub.

It's a pity that her posture hasn't been maintained for too long, and Shilan, who came back in a hurry, broke her rare time of pleasure, and Shilan whispered back with a blue face: "Master, there's an accident in the kitchen!"

"What's going on in the kitchen?" said Erph, who opened her eyes in confusion and asked casually.

Returning to the master's words, the little palace maid who heard the news said that a little girl on the other side of the kitchen was brushing the bowl, and suddenly died. Shilan was afraid that she would speak too quickly, and frightened Erfu, who was in a very relaxed state in front of her, cleared her throat, and saw that Erfu opened her eyes, and then replied.

"You let the imperial doctor who is accompanying you go over and take a look, maybe you have some kind of acute illness!" Erfu commanded lightly with luck, although she also knew that this kind of luck was very slim, basically it did not exist, after all, the palace maids and maids who could serve in the Old Summer Palace were carefully selected, not to mention that they were all as bright and dazzling as delicate flowers, but in terms of health, it was absolutely not a problem, especially in the kitchen, which was checked by the imperial doctor himself, otherwise who could eat the things made in the kitchen!

When something like this happened in the kitchen, Erf wasn't in the mood to continue bathing.

She casually took the wet handkerchief that Shilan had wrung before, wiped the water beads on her body, wiped her face again, and coiled up her long hair that was wet with water, and didn't wait for other palace people to come and serve, so she crawled out of the bathtub wet, wrapped in a thicker muslin bathrobe and came to the hall.

I don't know if she's too sensitive, but Erf always thinks that this matter has something to do with herself.

Facts have proved that her sixth sense is as sensitive as ever, just as she was wiping her hair with a dry cloth, the fourth master had already come to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion quickly, and as soon as she entered the door, she rushed to her side before Erfu could react, took her tightly into her arms, and said again and again: "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, it was not you who had an accident." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Erfu blinked a little confusedly, and cast an inquiring glance at Shilan, who came in from outside with the fourth master, and asked unconsciously.

"It's fine. Without waiting for Shilan to answer, the fourth master neatly interrupted Erfu's questioning.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, don't look at Erfu's face to believe the words of the fourth master, but her heart is full of doubts, but she didn't ask again, but instead smiled and talked with the fourth master for a while, so as not to worry about the fourth master, and then she smiled and sent the fourth master, who didn't know what to do in front of him, out of the courtyard gate of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and then returned to the room and began to ask Shilan what happened.

Shilan didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told Erfu everything she knew.

"It's good, I just came to the Old Summer Palace, and someone can't wait to attack me before I finish packing my luggage, but now I suddenly have no appetite, and I didn't touch the bowl of noodles I specially prepared in the kitchen, otherwise...... No wonder the fourth master was scared like that. Erfu's eyes, who learned the truth from Shilan's mouth, turned red with anger, and she raised her hand to spill the teapot on the square table on the ground, and scolded hatefully.

It turned out that after the examination of the imperial doctor, it was found that the reason why the little palace maid who was washing the dishes died suddenly was completely because of the accidental ingestion of poison, and the food that hid the poison was the thin noodles that Erft specially instructed the kitchen to prepare.

Because Erfu suddenly had no appetite, the bowl of noodles lit with sesame oil was almost untouched, and was put back into the food box by Shilan, and the little palace maid who washed the dishes smelled the fragrant noodles, and there were matching mushroom meat sauce and dishes, so she didn't control her mouth for a while, and secretly ate this bowl of noodles.

If it weren't for the rapid onset of poison, the bowl with noodles had not been washed, it is estimated that this matter would have been mixed up in such a mess, after all, in this era of paying attention to entering the soil for safety, no one would do anything to dissect the corpse, and through the examination of the silver needle puncture point, it can only be determined that the little palace maid was poisoned and died, but it is not certain that it was poisoned for what reason, and the little palace maid secretly ate it behind the back of others, and no one noticed it at all, so ......

"You arrange for someone to restrain the little palace maid well, and seal another two hundred taels of silver, one piece for her family to take back, she can be regarded as avoiding a catastrophe for me." Erf, who had calmed down, stroked her forehead and commanded with some emotion.

Of course, she didn't forget to ask about Xiaoshengzi's situation.

This bowl of noodles with pickled things was made by Xiao Shengzi himself and personally delivered to Changchun Xianguan, so no matter who came to investigate, Xiao Shengzi would not be spared, but Erfu did not suspect Xiao Shengzi at all, because no one would do such a stupid thing.

"Father-in-law has been taken to the front by father-in-law Chen Fu's people for questioning, and the slave doesn't know what his current situation is. Shilan replied with some apprehension, she was afraid that Erfu would think she was useless, but who knew that the fourth master would react so quickly, she just went back to the upper room and said a few words to Erfu and went to the kitchen to find out the news, and it was a bumpy run along the way, but even so, she was still one step later than the people on the fourth master's side, and when she arrived at the kitchen, the kitchen was already a mess, and several grim-faced eunuchs were holding all the servants who were waiting in the kitchen for questioning, wailing, begging for mercy, The cursing was endless, and she could calmly return to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to talk back, then it must be regarded as her psychological quality was relatively high.

Fortunately, Erfu also understood Shilan's embarrassment, and didn't say anything, she beckoned Shilan to come forward and wipe her hair for herself, and commanded softly: "Forget it, you let Zhao Dezhu run to the front for a while, and explain to him not to ask more about the things on the side, just see if Xiaoshengzi is okay, as for other things, let's treat it as if we don't know, lest the person behind the back can't make a plan, but instead deduct this basin on my head, and wronged me for being a thief and shouting to catch a thief." Saying that, she looked out again, and said in a low voice, "There was an accident in the kitchen, Xiaoshengzi was taken over by the front yard for questioning, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and I will be replaced by someone else to take care of me and a few children's food, I really don't worry, you will find the time to release the pigeons brought over in a while, let Bai Jiao transfer two reliable cooks from Baiweiju, and then ask the housekeeper to open a small kitchen in the enclosure in front of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion." ”

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

As the reason for the violent death of the little palace maid over there in the kitchen was clarified, before Shilan could finish the things that Erfu had explained, the little Wulanala clan and Lu Gege who lived on the side of the Xinghua Spring Pavilion tossed up, vomiting and diarrhea, as if they had eaten something unclean, and the little palace maid had an accident, Erfu could still put up a score but not ask, but it was about the backyard maid, even if her bones were about to fall apart, she had to cheer up and explain to the palace people to prepare for the shoulder.

Hurriedly changed the clothes for going out, and fixed the long hair that was still a little damp with a hairpin, Erfu sat on the prepared shoulders with some embarrassment, and came to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion, Lu Gege, who lived in Cuiwei Hall, was okay, although he was already haggard, but he still gave Erfu a salute according to the rules, and did not deliberately embarrass Erfu, let the imperial doctor diagnose his own pulse and prescribe prescriptions, and weakly accompanied Erfu to say a few words, and then he sent Erfu out of the mirror Shui Zhai with a strong spirit, that is called a cautious, that is called a peaceful and self-conscious, but the restless little Ula Nara side made Erfu very helpless。

The little Ulanala clan entered the mansion one step ahead of Lu Gege, and he was the cousin of the same sect of the Wulanala clan of the first blessing, and directly seized the Cuiwei Hall with a wide five rooms, which is not a matter, the left and right little Ulanala clan did not step on Erfu's head, and Erfu would not be angry with the little Ulanala clan for this little thing, but after the words of the little Ulanala clan pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, Erfu's face was difficult to look at.

According to the words of the little Ulanala clan, she naturally said that the death of the little palace maid was an excuse arranged by Erfu for herself, and the purpose was to take the opportunity to get rid of her, the cousin of the same sect of Xianfujin, lest she stay in the mansion and protect Xianfujin's sister-in-law everywhere, delaying the way out of Brother Hongxuan, who was born to Erfu.

Although all the discerning people know that the relationship between the little Ulanala clan and Honghui is not as harmonious as the little Ulanala clan said, it does not prevent the women present from speculating with the greatest malice, and the three of them have become tigers and all mouths are gold...... If such a fallacy is really allowed to spread, Erfu is afraid that he will have to face the questioning of those sect elders in the Zongren Mansion.

However, Erfu didn't have any excuse to defend herself, and was directly speechless by the little Ulanala clan, because she really couldn't explain why she didn't eat the bowl of noodles specially prepared by the kitchen, and she also noticed one point, that is, as the little Ulanala clan said this, the onlookers in the house all showed a look of sudden realization, obviously believing the little Ulanala clan's unsubstantiated speculation.

Seeing this, Erfu shook his head with a wry smile, put on a posture of Chang Fujin, and scolded coldly: "Little Ulana Lagage, I think that for the sake of you being a cousin of the same sect of Xianfu Jin, I have been courteous to you many times, but if you think that my leniency has given you the confidence to talk nonsense, then you really think too highly of my endurance."

And I will tell you clearly today, if I really want to get rid of you, I don't need to do these useless works at all, you have disrespected me several times, used the Qingluan pattern and other sins, even if I ordered someone to kill you, no one will think that I am wrong, but I just think that I have no mercy and am narrow-minded.

Since I told you this, I'm not afraid to say more, you really don't need to test my bottom line, because my tolerance for you has reached the limit, a palace maid died in the Old Summer Palace today, I don't want to add more killing, but this is also the last time I let you go, if there is a next time, you are ready to go underground to be the companion of Xianfujin, I believe that Xianfujin is very willing to see you by her side. After saying that, Erfu's cold eyes like a sharp blade swept over everyone, and everyone was afraid to dodge, and then he left Cuiwei Hall with his handmaiden like a cold face.
