Chapter 1628: The Secret of Killing People
"You are all the old people around Rongyi County, and you have won the trust of the county gentleman and his wife, and you are all decent people. I am also happy to give you dignity, and in the future, the supply here will be based on Madame's precedent, and there will be no half-point reduction! β
"It's just that I also said ugly things in front, and I have a lot of benefits to you. I do not require you to be loyal to me from now on, so that I can come in the water, go in the fire, bow down, and die. To tell you the truth, you just dare to say that, I don't dare to believe it! β
"They're all smart people, so I won't say a lot of things. Whether you have the old master in your heart or not, you can't bear it! Keep it all in your heart, and don't show it in front of me! β
"Seeing that you are all old, in ordinary people's homes, you should also make fun of your grandchildren and take care of your old age. Don't toss, living in such a big yard, the girl is waiting, and the life of the old feudal lord is not worse than that of the old feudal king. Be content! Don't make a fuss, it's really annoying me, I think you also know my reputation and methods from my wife! Don't blame me then! β
"Alright, that's all I have to say, so be it!"
After Wang Yongzhu's words were finished, the people present were silent.
For a long time, Mama Zhao stood up and knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Yongzhu: "Mrs. Xie Shizi's great grace!" Please rest assured, the old slave will only stay in this courtyard from today onwards and pray for the blessings of Mrs. Junhe and Mrs. Shizi of Rongyi County! If it weren't for the order of Mrs. Shizi, he would never have stepped out of this courtyard for half a step! β
The other old men, you look at me, I look at you, and I also know that Madame can't protect them anymore.
What's more, the words of Mrs. Shizi are clear, they don't need their allegiance, as long as they stay honest and peaceful.
They have lived most of their lives, and now they live a few days of peace of mind, who is willing to get involved in those things?
Seeing Mama Zhao beating her head again, she also knelt down very numbly, and also expressed her attitude.
Wang Yongzhu nodded with satisfaction, as long as they are all honest.
After beating these people, Wang Yongzhu naturally won't stay long, and he is about to leave.
Behind her, Mama Zhao's face struggled for a long time, and finally spoke: "Mrs. Shizi, the old slave has something to say." β
Wang Yongzhu turned his head and looked at Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao looked left and right, everyone was a person with eyes, and without Wang Yongzhu's instructions, they had already made excuses, retreated outside, and guarded the gate very tacitly to prevent people from coming in.
Seeing this, Mama Zhao opened all the doors and windows again, so that she could see the outside and ensure that the people outside could not get close to the house.
Only then did Wang Yongzhu sit down and pour her tea.
whispered: "Mama Jiang, who was beside Mrs. before, came and told the old slave about Mrs.'s current situation. The old slave heard Mama Jiang say in a trance, Mrs. Shizi can promise Mrs. to take care of us because Mrs. told you about the Qi family back then. β
Speaking of this, Mama Zhao's voice paused.
Wang Yongzhu glanced at Mama Zhao and saw the tangled look on her face very clearly.
"Do you know about the Qi family?"
Mama Zhao nodded, "The old slave was originally a little palace maid in the palace, but because she offended someone, she almost lost her life, but fortunately, she was rescued by the monarch of Rongyi County, and she picked up a life." β
"Later, the old slave was favored by the monarch of Rongyi County, and asked the queen mother for me, and followed the monarch of Rongyi County out of the palace to marry. Later, he often accompanied Rongyi County Jun back to the palace, and he had a bit of face with the palace maids and grandmothers in the palaceββ"
It turned out that Mama Zhao had a good sister named Caiyun, who was also a palace maid in the palace, but she was more fortunate than Mama Zhao, and she was assigned to the current queen mother and the former queen.
She was extremely clever and smart, and she had Rongyi County Jun secretly say good things several times, but she soon became a second-class palace maid by the queen's side.
Mama Zhao often accompanies Rongyi County Jun into the palace, and the two also have the opportunity to meet, Caiyun often asks Mama Zhao to bring her some small things outside the palace, but the relationship has always been good.
When the palace banquet happened, Mama Zhao accompanied Rongyi County into the palace that day, but because she was sick for a while, she stayed in the palace of the Queen Mother.
It just so happened that Caiyun said that he was also a little uncomfortable, and he was afraid of colliding with the nobles, so he took leave and rested in the house.
Mama Zhao simply went to find her, thinking about resting in her house, saying a few words, and then following the county monarch back to the house after the palace banquet was over.
As a result, he saw that Caiyun was not giving up, and seemed to be frightened by something.
She asked a few words, and Caiyun hugged Mama Zhao, saying that she was afraid that she would die soon, because she overheard a secret.
The stakes are so high that she won't live long.
Mama Zhao was frightened, they were palace maids, and they knew that there were too many secrets in this palace that they couldn't hear, and they would die if they heard it.
The two panicked, and Mama Zhao only persuaded her, or she would ask the county monarch for a favor, and she would also go to the county monarch's mansion, saying that she would not be able to escape.
Caiyun smiled bitterly and said that if she was an idle little palace maid, it would be fine.
But she is now a second-class palace maid in the queen's palace, and she knows a lot of things in the queen's palace.
How could the queen let her out of the palace?
Even if she dies of old age in this life, I'm afraid she will die in the palace.
The two hugged their heads and cried, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Caiyun cried and put his ear to her and told her the secret.
said that one day, another second-class palace maid in the same room, because she was suddenly unhappy, wanted to send a snack to the queen's inner hall, afraid that she would lose her honor, so she begged Caiyun.
It's a common thing only among palace maids, as long as you pay a little attention and don't get discovered by the master, it's fine.
Caiyun happily agreed.
When she carefully bypassed the little chamberlain in front of the hall, she entered the inner hall with a snack from the side path, and found that the hall was quiet and there was no one.
Then I heard inside, the queen and people talking.
The one who spoke was the first emperor.
The two of them are talking about the eldest lady of the Qi family, Qi Le.
Qi Le's good name is known to everyone in the palace.
Caiyun was holding snacks, unable to advance or retreat, and was afraid of alarming the people inside, but he listened to it all over his ears.
There were a few vague sentences that I didn't hear clearly, to the effect that the queen was not satisfied with Qi Le getting too close to the prince of the grassland, but left several princes behind, and felt that Qi Le's behavior was unworthy of being a princess.
The first emperor said that what Qi Le did was his command.
He saw that the Great Prince of the Prairie was bound to win Qi Le, so he instructed Qi Le to let her give the Great Prince of the Prairie a little good color, and then it seemed that she wanted to get something from the Great Prince of the Prairie Prince.
That kind of thing is estimated to be very important, although Caiyun didn't hear it clearly, but she heard an exclamation from the queen.
Then the queen asked, if this is the case, how can Qi Le still be the princess?
The first emperor said that he had never had the intention of making Qi Le the princess, Qi Le was too high-profile, misbehaved, and there was a difference between men and women, but she was unscrupulous and maneuvered between several princes.
Hooked a few princes for her, and they were proud!
The prince is noble, how can he allow a courtier to tease like this? Moreover, this Qi Le's birthday seems to have something strange, he is just pushing the boat, but he wants to see what Qi Le and the Qi family are planning?
The queen seemed to say something, and then Caiyun heard a voice outside.
She was so frightened that she couldn't do it, but she was in a hurry, and after putting down the pastry gently, she hid under the shrine in the side hall of the queen's worship of the Buddha.
