After Aunt Qing left, the imperial concubine Ling said to Yuan Qing: "Well, you are doing good activities outside the house, so you ask someone to find a servant to buy some slaves into the house and let the wife take care of them for two months before sending them to the elderly On the nine side, there are not many people in the palace that can be picked out now. The emperor only cleared a group of people out of the palace two years ago, and because of the rush to seal the king and divide the palace, the palace did not have time to prepare, so he called A group of people came from the inner palace and selected ten or eight people who are familiar with it. Let's make do with it first. After the people on your side teach it, then send it to the Shun Palace. This Aunt Qing is useless, Ben The palace will pick a grandma out of my palace again to help."
Yuan Qingling said: "I'll take care of this, so don't worry about it. Aunt Qing, continue to send people to pay attention to see why she is unwilling to go out of the palace."
The imperial concubine knew in her heart that she knew that the fifth aunt was looking for this Aunt Qing not necessarily because she wanted her to enter the house to serve the nine. Yuan Qingling said this again, saying, "Okay, don't worry, this palace will send someone to stare at her." ."
Yuan Qing Lingxie went out of the palace and talked to the fifth child about seeing Aunt Qing. "No matter how I look at it, I don't think this Aunt Qing looks like a man. She is very old and looks like she is about 60 years old. But she said it was only forty."
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Is it so old? And, don't you say it, I think of her appearance, it is indeed a bit like."
"It's been so long, do you still remember?" Yuan Qingling had no confidence in his memory.
"Originally, I didn't have any impression, and I didn't remember this person, but when Laojiu said that day, I still have an impression when I think of it. Do you see that she and Man'er have no similarities?"
"Really not."
Yu Wenhao said: "Then maybe the same people are from Southern Xinjiang, and the facial features are more prominent, so I think they are similar, but her attitude is very strange, she would rather hide in the palace and do hard work than go out to serve the old nine. Most people don't. It’s chosen this way, unless it’s for some reason."
"I asked Huang Guifei to pay attention and see if she has other difficulties. Besides, I plan to talk to Man'er to see what she remembers." Yuan Qingling said.
"Well, that's fine, I also want to look into the killing of the King of Southern Jiang, and I asked Jingyan and Shoufu to come over. They will be there in a while. They know this matter well, and I also brought some files back. However, what can be recorded may not be the truth."
"By the way, how is Shoufu's body recently?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"It's better, with the care of the mother, is he okay?" Yu Wenhao quipped.
Yuan Qing Ling Nuan laughed warmly, "That's great, you can be a company when you are old."
Yu Wenhao looked at her with shining eyes, "Lao Yuan, it's really comfortable for you to smile like this."
"Everyone smiles makes people comfortable." Yuan Qingling approached him and sighed comfortably, "You smile also makes me feel at ease, and you smile so beautifully, I like to see you smile the most. "
Yu Wenhao subconsciously touched his cheek, "Really?"
"Yes, smile more and express kindness!" Yuan Qing Ling's eyebrows were burning, and the corners of her lips raised, like a blooming peach blossom.
The two stayed warm for a while, and Xu Yi came to inform that Shoufu and Master Leng had arrived.
Yu Wenhao kissed Yuan Qingling, "Then I will go to the study, and you will talk to Man'er."
He went out happily, remembering Yuan Qingling's words, and showing a big smile to Xu Yi before stepping down the stone steps, Xu Yi was startled, and hurriedly chased him up and said nervously, "Master, the monthly bill is still needed. Yes, you can't stop paying monthly bills just because you get the reward."
Yu Wenhao's face sank, some people are unworthy!
Yuan Qingling called Man'er in and said, "Sit down and let's chat."
Man'er was stunned for a moment, "Prince Princess, didn't the servants and maids fail to do well?"
"No, just simply chat with you," Yuan Qingling smiled at her nervous appearance, "You are very safe to do things. Mother Xi and his mother are full of praise for you, sit down."
Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and said slyly: "What does the prince concubine want to talk about?"
"Man'er, how did you come to the capital?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Man'er said: "My mother-in-law brought me here."
"Where is your mother-in-law?"
"The two mothers-in-law are dead. It didn't take long for us to come to the capital, and they left one after another." Man'er said of them both with a sad expression.
Yuan Qingling sighed softly, "I really embarrass you."
Man'er looked sad, "Mother-in-law and the others were sick when they came. At that time, we had no money. Life was very hard and we didn't even have food. Where can I see a doctor? I'm young, and I don't know how to make money."
Yuan Qingling patted her hand gently, comforted, and then asked, "How old did you come to Beijing?"
Man'er thought for a while, "How old is it? The slave and maid don't remember that much. Is it five or six or eight or nine?"
"I don't remember how old it is? Then do you have any impression of your parents?" Yuan Qingling remembered that she had mentioned her hometown and said about her parents, but she didn't pay much attention at the time and didn't remember how she was. Said.
Man'er was a little dazed, "My parents? My parents are dead, right?"
"Did you die?" Yuan Qingling looked at her hesitantly, "Are you not sure about yourself? But I have heard you talk about home before, and I seem to have mentioned parents or family members."
"Is there?" Man'er was startled, stretched out his hand and pressed his head, "But I don't remember much."
"Do you always forget things?" Yuan Qingling looked upright. There were indeed some problems in her memory. Sometimes she remembered something suddenly, and sometimes she forgot completely. Could it be that she was sick
Man'er said distressedly: "It's not always forgetting things, that is... The slave and maid don't know how to say it, but there is some confusion and blankness in his mind, just like a stone in his mind blocks a place, and that place is not accessible To go."
Yuan Qingling looked at her in surprise, "Did you be cursed by someone, such as Ecstasy? It's the kind of witchcraft spell in southern Xinjiang."
"This won't be true. The servant girl is also a person who knows how to cast a curse. If you are cursed, you will know." Man'er said with certainty. After a pause, she suddenly said: "By the way, the servant girl has hurt his head before. , I don’t know if it’s because of this."
"When did you fall?"
"My mother-in-law said, but I don't remember how old I was when I fell." Man'er said.
"The mother-in-law said? It's been a long time, your mother-in-law has been dead for so long. Then did you know when you learned the Southern Xinjiang spell?"
Man'er thought for a while, "It should be when we were a few years old. Anyway, we people in Southern Xinjiang have been learning since we were young, and we can learn it very quickly."
"Then how much do you know about the witches and wizards in northern Xinjiang?" Yuan Qingling asked again.
Man'er said: "I know something, what do you want to ask the princess?"
"There are two witches in northern Xinjiang, one is Guzhi, who is the other? Do you know?"
"The other one..." Man'er thought about it again, "The other one has been missing for a long time, and I found the second witch. I remember hearing from my mother, that witch is called Mu Qingqing."
"Mu Qingqing?" Yuan Qingling looked at her, "The last question, Man'er, do you know someone named Aunt Qing?"
