Chapter 423: Self-harm
Chapter 423
Concubine Tong Jia is a well-known family member in the palace, even if you don't know her details, you should know how superior her position in a few shops outside is, and how terrifying her identity background is, which is definitely a great thing to put on her face.
"You're a good one. "Such a great wealth is delivered in front of him, not everyone has the ability to control themselves, and they are not moved or greedy, and Erfu only hesitated a little and returned the jade medal to himself, Concubine Tong Jia said that he looked up to Erfu a few points.
Erfu smiled shyly, "Niangniang is lifted." ”
"Alright, don't be modest. Concubine Tong Jia smiled and waved her hand, drank the almond dew in the silver cup, looked at the height of the bright moon in the sky, and said softly, "It's not too early now, let's go too!"
"That's what the mother said. Erfu took out the pocket watch from his sleeve and looked at it, and saw that it was almost eight o'clock, so he hurriedly whispered a few words to Yaoqin, turned his head to Concubine Tong Jia, bowed slightly, and said softly.
Concubine Tong Jia nodded, indicating that she understood, turned her head to the little palace maid standing behind her, and ordered with a smile: "Yoyo, go to the garden and pick a few good plum branches to bring back."
Guarjia Fujin, should you be reluctant, right?" In the last sentence, Concubine Tong Jia said it to Erfu with a smile, obviously making fun of her!
Erfu didn't misunderstand, smiled and patted her chest, with a proud expression of "This little thing, we can still make our own decisions", and said loudly: "The concubine is not so stingy." It's just a few flower branches, that is, if you want to dig up the whole plum tree, the concubine's body will definitely not change color. Absolutely not distressed. ”
After saying that, he also sent the guzheng into the depths of the garden to help.
When the guzheng served in the palace before, he was punished for making a mistake and was punished to be a rough palace maid in the imperial garden, for the trivial matter of pruning flower branches, it was definitely a piece of cake, although this matter has passed for a few years, but this ability is really not put down at all.
The flower arrangements in the main room of the west courtyard are all from her hands. Whether it is from the shape or the eye of matching, it is definitely better than the florists who serve those delicate customers in the flower room all day long. So Erfu was very relieved and asked her to help the little palace maid named Yoyo choose plum branches.
Seeing the two figures, one pink and one blue, walked into the depths of Meilin, Concubine Tong Jia's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "This lantern feast, the guards arranged in your mansion." Have you ever leaked it?"
"What?" looked at Concubine Tong Jia's words and talked about it. Erfu was stunned for some incomprehension, and a pair of apricot eyes widened, and asked softly with puzzlement.
Concubine Tong Jia lifted her robe slightly, got up from the stone bench facing Erfu, sat on Erfu's side, and said in a low voice: "That Youyou was arranged by the Internal Affairs Office to serve by the palace two years ago, and has been gradually accepted by the palace in recent years, although he has not identified himself with the palace. But he also helped Bengong a lot openly and secretly.
Today, when the main palace comes out of the palace. This Yoyo was not among the people who were waiting, but he had to change his job with the palace maid who lived in the same room, and squeezed to the side of the palace, hinting several times that the palace was going to leave your house earlier, and it seemed that something bad should happen here. ”
Go for it!
Although Erfu has not really come into contact with the house fight, she has read a lot of house fight novels, and she has secretly studied what means of inserting eyes and ears and subduing people's hearts, but she has no talent for this matter, and in the end she just looks at it as fun, and some specific means can't be remembered, but she doesn't dare to underestimate the role played by those seemingly inconspicuous little chess pieces in the whole game.
For example, Yoyo, who is no longer visible.
"Niangniang, the concubine doesn't know much about the arrangement of the guards, and the secret guards around her are not there, so I ask the mother to borrow the secret guard. Thinking of this, Erfu couldn't sit still, his head was covered with fine beads of sweat on a cold day, and he didn't care if it was rude, and said busily.
"Do you want to use the secret guard to send a letter to the fourth child?" asked Concubine Tong Jia without saying yes or not.
"Yes. Erph said sullenly.
For this kind of critical time, Erf really doesn't have a little patience at all.
Although Concubine Tong Jia's attitude towards her and her concern for the fourth master made Erfu feel that Concubine Tong Jia was a good elder, Concubine Tong Jia had such a big secret in her heart, but she had been inking so many inconsequential things, and it took so long to tell her, and if she didn't hurry up and let her send a message to the fourth master, she was a little dissatisfied.
It's not that she changes her face quickly, or that she has a problem with her character, it's really that this matter is too involved.
If this old man calculates the fourth master, it is definitely not a trivial matter, it is likely to make the fourth master defeated, and even put the fourth master and even the people in the mansion into a desperate situation, including her infant children......
Not only that, but if the eighth child didn't even care about the relationship between father and son, did something to plot against his father and kill the king, and secretly arranged some killing moves, it would be a major event that changed history......
As soon as he thought of this, Erf's hands were so shaky that he couldn't hold the tea bowl.
"You have to believe in the fourth. "What kind of character is Concubine Tong Jia, who has been immersed in the palace for half her life, and her ability to observe words and colors has long been engraved into her bones, so naturally she did not ignore the faintly visible complaint in Erfu's eyes, raised her hand to stabilize Erfu's hand, took the gaiwan tea bowl that had been spilled with half a bowl of tea, put it on the stone table, and said in a deep voice.
Although Concubine Tong Jia's tone was very affirmative, as if she had a very strong confidence in the fourth master, Erfu still couldn't rest assured, shook off Concubine Tong Jia's hand holding her, suddenly got up, and said indignantly: "There is no intention, it's not that the concubine doesn't believe in the fourth master!"
Niangniang, you are a natural nobleman, but the fourth master has worked so hard to survive to this point, if he loses his position because of some people's intrigues, then do you know what kind of situation the fourth master has to face?
The reputation of the fourth master outside is that you have never inquired about it. I should have heard of it.
Although he is the prince, the people who hate him outside are afraid that they will be able to get from the Forbidden City to Tongzhou......
Look at what the life of the Thirteenth Master has become. That's still a prince with a good reputation in the army, and on weekdays, there are still his subordinates and our fourth master and the prince's care, if it's our fourth master's turn, then ......
Niangniang, forgive the concubine for being disrespectful, you are doing this thing in a fool!" By the end of the words, Erfu was already choked up and couldn't speak. With red circles under his eyes, his fingers trembled and pointed at Concubine Tong Jia to see what it meant. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Tong Jia was an elder, she would have been eager to go up and give Concubine Tong Jia two slaps and wake up Concubine Tong Jia, who was not doing her business.
In the past, Lord Cangshu's family did not attend this lantern banquet on time, and then there was a warning from Concubine Tong Jia. At this time, Erfu seemed to have seen the fire in the sky of the Fourth Master's Mansion. There was a terrible situation of bloodshed everywhere.
"You are bold!" Erfu pointed at the tip of Tong Jia's nose and became angry, before Concubine Tong Jia spoke, the palace maid who was waiting on the side had already spoken dissatisfiedly, and that appearance was a little similar to Erfu's previous state of pointing at Tong Jiaguifei and getting angry.
"Stand down!" Concubine Tong Jia raised her hand slightly, stopped the palace maid's trouble, raised her hand to greet Xiaowen and Xiaoman, who had been frightened by Erfu's reaction, and asked the two of them to help Erfu sit down. He also sent the palace maid who was waiting close to him to guard the side, not letting strangers approach. He poured a bowl of hot tea with his own hands and sent it to Erfu, signaling her to be restless, and then said slowly, "Are you here to watch the excitement?"
The words that this palace said to you before, are they making fun of you?
Why are you so breathless, this palace doesn't let the secret guard go over to send a message to the fourth child, that is also for the fourth child's good. ”
Without waiting for Concubine Tong Jia to finish speaking, Erfu had to get up again to defend herself, but this time Xiaowen and Xiaoman, who were waiting next to her, were already mentally prepared, and pressed Erfu back to the stone bench.
Although they also knew that there might be danger on the fourth master's side, and they were also very worried in their hearts, but they were not as excited and anxious as Erfu, they did not lose their proportions, nor did they lose their minds, and they knew that Concubine Tong Jia was definitely not here to stimulate their master, so they still wanted to hear Concubine Tong Jia's explanations and words.
"Say you can't hold your breath, you really can't hold your breath. Concubine Tong Jia sighed lightly, shook her head and said, "You fourth master will definitely accompany the emperor to serve at this time, right?"
Speaking of this, Concubine Tong Jia paused slightly, raised her eyes to look at Erfu, and saw Erfu nodding, so she continued: "Will the fourth child take a secret guard with the emperor?"
"No!" again and again, again and again, and then again, and exhausted, with the anger that was interrupted by Concubine Tong Jia, Xiaowen and Xiaoman several times, her reason has slowly converged, and when she heard Concubine Tong Jia ask, the last breath also dispersed, her shoulders drooped, and her head bowed.
Yes, the fourth master will definitely be by the side of the old man Kangxi, where will he bring a secret guard!
Even she feels safe in the house, so what about the fourth master?
- Naturally, there will be such thoughts, not to mention that he still follows the old man Kangxi, just to avoid suspicion, he will also send the secret guards to the side, so even if Concubine Tong Jia will borrow her secret guard to send a message to the fourth master, how can it reach the ears of the fourth master!
Thinking of this, Erfu covered her face with her hands, secretly depressed because she couldn't help the fourth master.
Just when Erfu was so depressed that she couldn't help it, Concubine Tong Jia raised her hand and took the handle pot that had just been changed with water, gritted her teeth and poured it on her wrist......
"Hiss!" Concubine Tong Jia is a delicate woman in the end, even if she has made some mental preparations, but the moment the hot tea is poured on her wrist, she still can't help but gasp, and the hand holding the beam pot trembles slightly.
Although Concubine Tong Jia was already frowning in pain, the handle pot she was carrying in her hand did not put it down, until her entire wrist was hot and swollen, then she got up angrily, slapped the face of the unbearable close-up palace maid, and screamed: "You don't have long eyes, you can't even hold the tea bowl steadily, what's the use of keeping you in this palace?"
Guerjia Fujin, this palace is a little uncomfortable at this moment, and I want to go back to rest first!" As she spoke, Concubine Tong Jia had already kicked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty.
When Erfu just raised her head and saw Concubine Tong Jia carrying a teapot and pouring it into her hand, such a signal had flashed in her mind......
"Niangniang is angry, don't make a real fire for this little thing, and the concubine will arrange for the imperial doctor to come over to see you. As she spoke, she ran to the tree and wrapped a bag of melted snow in a handkerchief.
Looking at the redness and swelling on Concubine Tong Jia's hands and the somewhat terrifying blisters, Erfu only felt that her legs and stomach were a little weak, and she put a cold handkerchief on Concubine Tong Jia's wrist with a trembling hand, and under the reminder of Concubine Tong Jia's eyes, she hurriedly sent Xiaowen to the front yard and invited a doctor who served in the house to come over, and at the same time sent Xiaoman, the more clever of the two, to the artificial lake to find the fourth master, and through the matter of Concubine Tong Jia's scalded wrist, he told the fourth master what Concubine Tong Jia said.
The movement here is not small.
Xiao Man responded and ran out, and Yaoqin, who went to arrange the soft sedan chair, also quickly returned to Erfu's side, even in the depths of Meilin, the guzheng and Youyou, who were going to cut plum branches according to the instructions of Concubine Tong Jia and Erfu, also heard the movement outside, and couldn't even take care of the plum branches in their arms, and ran back to the two masters with a roar.
"Niangniang, how did you get this?" As soon as Yoyo returned to the stone table, he saw his master's messy robe and a dirty handkerchief embroidered with red plums on his wrist, and asked urgently with distressed eyes.
Concubine Tong Jia glared at Erfu and the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling indignantly, and said coldly: "Help the palace to go back and rest." ”
"Mother's ......" On the one hand, he felt sorry for Concubine Tong Jia, and the sacrifice he made in order to send the news out, on the other hand, he blamed himself for not receiving the news earlier and told Concubine Tong Jia, so that Concubine Tong Jia could send the news out more freely without hurting her own body, and at the same time, she also blamed Guerjia for being too stupid and stupid to let her mother suffer such a crime, but she didn't say anything to break the truth under this play, but she just whispered a sentence with red circles and helped Concubine Tong Jia to go out.
Erfu hurriedly stepped forward to help the innocent little palace maid, and silently said sorry in her heart, but her face was like a good boss and master who treated her subordinates well, with a warm and gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Be careful next time, follow up!"
After speaking, he asked Yaoqin to help the little palace maid who was kneeling a little staggering on the cold bluestone road, and quickly chased Concubine Tong Jia out.
......
"Are you really?" The fourth master was called aside by Xiao Man, who was probing his brain, and he was still a little displeased, thinking that Erfu was really too bold to dare to make such a thing in front of the emperor, but as Xiao Man finished a few words in a clear manner, although his face did not change, his tone was full of vague and ruthless meaning, and he glanced back at the old man who was still talking with the old man Kangxi, and said hatefully.
