Detective in the Red Chamber

Ruan Rong spread her hands: "It's probably because I'm tired from the journey, and I'm still lying on the bed right now."

The second sister You next to her laughed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "It may not be because she was tired on the road, last night Xiaobiesheng was newly married..."

"Let's go!"

Ruan Rong shoved her half-truthfully, then winked at Fu Rong who was standing beside her.

Fu Rong immediately took the little maid, took out several makeup boxes from the west room, and spread them out on the table.

"Come over here and have a look. This is brought back by the master from southern Xinjiang - I asked him yesterday, and he didn't have a serious assignment. Whoever has a sleepy eye can just take it back."

Everyone gathered around and saw that there were gold and silver jewelry in the makeup box. Judging from the style, most of them were brought back from Qianxiang Kingdom.

Others are still giving way, but Second Sister You's eyes are shining, she is polite, but she has already started to fiddle with her hands one by one.

Seeing her like this, other people will have nothing to match, and pick up the lovely pattern to look at it.

"what?"

At this moment, Second Sister You suddenly let out a low cry, then took out a quick handkerchief from a makeup box, and spread it out in front of everyone suspiciously.

I saw some faint blood stains on the plain veil.

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other for a long while, and finally Ruan Rong sighed first, and said sourly: "Okay, it's fine if you don't bring it back. You've been wandering outside for half a year, so you can't tell me that you don't touch any meat, right?"

That's what I said, but guarding the suspected red thing, everyone talked and laughed again, always showing a little bit of reluctance.

Among them, Ping'er was the most serious, his eyes would fall on the veil from time to time, and every time he seemed to be pierced by a needle point, he staggered his eyes in a panic.

wow~

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of the bead curtain was heard, and Sun Shaozong came out from the room in disheveled clothes. At that moment, all the Yingying and Yanyan hurriedly abandoned the gold and silver, and the stars held the moon to welcome him.

Ruan Rong was a step behind the others, but grabbed the handkerchief and threw it into Sun Shaozong's arms, jokingly said: "This is my dearest treasure, don't let us lose it."

When Sun Shaozong saw the handkerchief, the body that had just landed on the official hat chair jumped up violently, then softened back, and said lazily: "You can also eat the flying vinegar that is thousands of miles away - hurry up!" Yes, let someone serve the breakfast, I will go to the Prince's Mansion later."

Seeing that he didn't want to go into details, Ruan Rong stepped down from the donkey and didn't pursue the matter.

While ordering Fu Rong to pass the message to the small kitchen, Ping'er was asked to take Sun Shaozong's clothes, and all the sisters hurriedly helped him put them on.

After tidying up, seven bowls and eight dishes were also put on the table.

Sun Shaozong took the main seat, took the ivory chopsticks from Ruan Rong, and poked them on the table backwards, and all the girls followed suit.

After he moved his chopsticks first, everyone picked up the food and piled it into his cups and plates.

Only Xing Xiuyan didn't move at all, and asked with half of her cherry lips: "My lord just said to go to the Prince's Mansion? Where... which Rongguo Mansion..."

Hearing her mention Rongguo Mansion, all the girls also stopped moving.

They all had deep or shallow relationships with the Rongguo Mansion. Seeing that the Jia family was about to face disaster, it would be absolutely false to say they were not concerned.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Shaozong smashed a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin in a calm manner, and he said after a while: "I thought my trip was just icing on the cake, but I never thought it would be a timely gift."

After saying this, there is no more text.

All the girls looked at each other for a while, Xing Xiu's cigarette butt came to his senses, his starry eyes flashed, and he clasped his palms together: "Amitabha, this is really the blessing of the Buddha."

Hearing what she said, Ping'er next to him immediately recalled it, first he looked happy, then turned pale, and blurted out: "So, Napa..."

After only uttering a few words, she swallowed them back hastily, like a pheasant whose neck has been strangled.

"What's the matter?"

Ruan Rong asked suspiciously: "What's going on, have you guys made it clear?!"

Ping'er suppressed the frenzy in his heart, forced a smile and said: "Second Lord said, now that the Qianxiang Kingdom has been established, the imperial court will look at the third girl's face, so it will not be cruel."

All the girls came to a sudden, and they couldn't help but lamented that Rongguo Mansion's good luck and bad luck depended on each other.

Ping'er fell silent again, her mind tossed and turned, always thinking about one thing:

That handkerchief dyed with falling red seems to be the third girl's personal belongings!

Chapter 966

In the northwest of the imperial city, Anle Hall.

This place was originally used to house the old and helpless eunuchs. Since the 31st year of Jianping, the struggle for succession has intensified, and many concubines and maidservants in the harem were involved in it. Imprisoned in the Anle Hall.

In the 36th year of Jianping, although Emperor Guangde officially ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor was still in power at that time, and he dared not make any changes in the government, let alone such a trivial matter?

So this An Le Tang was officially changed into a cold palace.

In the following ten years, more than a hundred women were thrown into it successively, and those old eunuchs were pushed aside.

bang~

clap la la...

"go in!"

A few young ladies in white clothes tremblingly crossed the threshold amidst impatient yelling, and before they could take a good look at the surrounding situation, there was another muffled knocking sound behind them.

Kacha~

clap la la...

Along with the iron chain outside the door, there were also the hearts and hearts of the women hanging in their throats, one by one, they fell straight into the bottomless abyss.

In just a moment, he was sobbing everywhere.

Although the leader, Gong'e, was also ashen-faced, but after all, she was a little older and had held some positions before, so she pinched her sleeves and forced herself to calm down.

It's just that she was about to say a few words to comfort the sisters around her, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly raised her eyes to look around, but unexpectedly met a dozen pairs of cold eyes.

The elder Gong'e knew that the visitor was not kind, so she hurriedly put on a humble smile, walked a few steps and said a deep blessing, "Longevity Gong Bingrui, I have met all my sisters."

After a pause, seeing that there was no response from the other side, he smiled sweetly, "My sister just went through the 'rules', and there is nothing around you who can honor your sisters. Fortunately, there are a few confidant sisters at the Longevity Palace." , day, it is inevitable that there will be a heartfelt offering."

Still deathly silence.

But the greed and malice in those eyes were covered with a layer of jealousy and resentment.

Bingrui was stared at and her heart beat, she didn't know what to do, when she saw the Dongtou door curtain lifted, a tall and thin woman like a stick came out from inside, her two peach eyes cast a sidelong glance at Bingrui, and said loudly "Look at him, he's a knowledgeable person—forget it, let's take him there to learn the rules first."

"This lady..."

Seeing that it seemed that someone who could make decisions came, Bingrui hurriedly added a bit of flattery to her face, bowed and was about to speak, but never thought that after the tall and thin woman finished speaking, she would go back into the house without looking back.

The door curtain is still rippling, the dozen or so women from the corridor have already surrounded them, including Bingrui and several maids who are expecting love.

"Follow up."

One of the women gave orders with a sneer, and then led the crowd to the southwest corner.

How can a person not bow his head under the low eaves?

Bingrui and several court ladies could only follow behind her anxiously.

Ordinarily speaking, the yard is only a hundred steps long from east to west. In this deep palace with tall buildings and mansions, it is really short and not worth mentioning.

But Bingrui and the others left physically and mentally exhausted.

Gein along the way, there are countless disgusting sights, crawling out from the cracks in the door and between the edge of the window, "squirming" on the bodies of several maids in evil shapes, as if they are going to get deep into the skin It's like biting their stomachs and hearts.

"arrive."

Suddenly, a voice full of gloating, pulled Bingrui's soul back into her body.

At the same time, a stench penetrated into her nostrils, tormenting her spleen wantonly.

Bingrui subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, but her heart was slightly relieved, because it is a common practice in the palace to let the new maid or the servant who made a mistake clean the toilet.

If it's just such a rule, forbearance is nothing.

However, the rejoicing in her heart only stayed for a short moment - bypassing the screen wall in front of the latrine, several white figures immediately caught everyone's eyes.

"Take off your clothes and kneel down."

The voice of gleeful misfortune sounded again at the right time.

In an instant, all the blood in his body rushed to Bingrui's head and neck.

Anger, panic, despair...

At one point, she even felt that she was in a nightmare, otherwise, how could she see such a scene and encounter such bullying? !

In the filthy mud that was flowing yellow and turbid, a few young ladies knelt on the ground tremblingly, letting maggots with long tails that were about to molt squirm on the body like a white sheep...

"No!"

Bingrui suddenly screamed hysterically, "My family was just venting my anger, and I will be able to go back to the Longevity Palace in a few days! You...you are not afraid of retribution when you treat others like this?!"

"Retribution? Hahaha..."

The shrill voice was still echoing, but the sneering prisoner laughed loudly, "Do you really think I am someone? To tell you the truth, everyone who comes in these days will die, and they will die for the rest of their lives." Don't even think about getting out alive!"

"No! I am Concubine Xi's confidant, she will definitely save me, she will definitely..."

Bing Rui was still screaming.

"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and wake her up!"

The prisoner yelled impatiently, and someone next to her immediately pushed the ice core under the screen wall, and then someone took the excrement spoon, scooped up some mud and urine on the spot, and was about to splash it on her head and face.

"what!!!"

Bingrui screamed in despair, and the maids who came with her were also screaming desperately, but they were powerless to stop the wicked woman.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, someone suddenly heard a scolding.

The vile woman holding the spoon shook her hand and almost splashed dung on her feet. She shifted her facial features angrily, and immediately cursed, "Who dare to control..."

It's just that halfway through the conversation, she swallowed it back alive.

I saw a charming woman under the west end porch, along her mouth and nose, raised her voice, "Which one is from Concubine Xi? Come and talk."

When Bingrui saw this woman, she immediately ran towards that woman as if she had been pardoned, and the dozen or so criminal women around her did not stop her.

When she got close, Bingrui immediately knelt down and grabbed the ground with her head, "I beg Concubine Rong to save my slaves, I beg Concubine Rong to save my slaves!"

It turned out that the woman under the corridor was Concubine Rong who was thrown into the cold palace in the winter of Guangde 13th year.

But when Concubine Rong saw her approaching, she immediately covered her nose in distaste, and asked in a muffled voice, "Since you are the person next to Concubine Xi, do you know any changes in Jingren Palace recently?"

She asked in a muffled voice, and Bingrui was in the panic and surprise of surviving a catastrophe, she didn't hear it for a while, and kowtowed for help.

Concubine Rong was a little annoyed immediately, raised her foot to touch her arm, and shouted, "Look up and answer!"

This time Bingrui finally came to his senses, hurriedly raised his head, looked past the two plentiful bodies, and hopefully fell on Concubine Rong's face.

"Over there at Jingren Palace, is there any movement?"

"This……"

As soon as Bingrui heard this, she knew that she was asking about the situation of the concubine Jia Yuanchun.

But don't say it's her, even Concubine Xi is afraid that it will be difficult for her tentacles to penetrate deep into Jingren Palace.

Therefore, he could only stammer, "This... I haven't heard that there has been any change."

"Useless things!"

Concubine Rong scolded, turned around and returned to the house without saying a word.

"Empress, Concubine Rong!"

Bingrui became anxious all of a sudden, and was about to get up and catch up, but two wicked women rushed up from behind, dragged her legs backwards, and dragged her into the mud and dung.

"No, no, don't! Concubine Rong, please save me! Your ladyship, please save me!"

Bingrui struggled with all her strength, but several people surrounded her, and after a short while, the call for help turned into a heart-piercing cry...

at the same time.

In the east room, the tall and thin woman withdrew her gaze, turned her head and said, "Your nobleman, you've been jumping a bit lately."

"Ah."

In front of the Buddhist altar on the west wall, a pretty young woman was kneeling with her palms folded. When she heard the words, she only responded slightly.
