"Cough, cough, cough..." Aunt Fang tossed around for a while at night and called in a hoarse voice, "Bingqing, pour me a bowl of water!"
No response for half a day.
"Yujie!" Aunt Fang shouted from another person, "Pour me a bowl of water!"
Still no response.
In the past, she always served by her side, and she didn't even need her to shout. As long as she coughed lightly, the two maids who would rush to bring her tea, but now they disappeared together.
"You two ungrateful things, it wasted me trusting you so much!" Aunt Fang scolded for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes, "Now, now you don't even give me a sip of water..."
Before she finished speaking, a tea bowl was brought to her lips.
The water was cold, and there was no tea in it, but Aunt Fang was thirsty all night and couldn't care less. She grabbed the tea bowl and drank it clean.
"Have you had enough?"
"One more... No!" This was not the voice of Bing Qing and Yu Jie! Aunt Fang raised her head abruptly, and what caught her eye was a face as beautiful as a lotus, even if she didn't put on makeup, she still had seven points of beauty in the world.
"Enough, just answer me a few questions." She said with a small smile.
"Wei! Ying! Luo!" Aunt Fang said word by word, "How dare you even appear in front of me!"
"I'm not coming, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink a sip of water." Wei Yingluo sighed, "Poor, you were supposed to be able to leave the palace in half a year, but now you're being kicked out, not only is your pension gone. , I'm afraid even your family will not dare to take you in."
Thinking of her tragic evening scene, Aunt Fang couldn't help but her eyes darkened and her lips trembled: "Why are you hurting me so much, and your stomach, what's going on with your stomach..."
She tossed and turned, but she couldn't come up with an answer. If she hadn't decided that Wei Yingluo had a big belly, she wouldn't have dared to pull Wu Shu over.
"Oh, that's what you said." Wei Yingluo chuckled lightly, stroking her swollen belly with her fingers, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, "I got some from the craftsman a few days ago. The kaolin clay used to make ceramics, when taken in small amounts, is not life-threatening, but will quickly bloat. If I can't pretend to be two-pointed, you will be hooked and can't wait to deal with me... "
Aunt Fang felt chills.
It is said that taking a small amount, there is no fear of life, but that is soil, it is not that Guanyin soil eating dead people has never happened, who knows what will happen if you eat this thing
A person who is so cruel to himself will only be more cruel to his enemies.
"As for why you said..." Wei Yingluo flipped her fingers, and a delicate plum blossom tie hooked her finger and hung down, "Do you still recognize this tie?"
Aunt Fang took a closer look: "This, isn't this the network I lost some time ago, you thief..."
"You are the thief!" Wei Yingluo grabbed her hair abruptly, forcing her to look up at herself. The disguise of the past had been completely torn off at this moment, and what was exposed in front of Aunt Fang was a real and terrifying picture... The Avengers "Look at my face and take a closer look at who I am!"
"You are Wei Yingluo, no, no, you are..." Aunt Fang looked at the face in front of her in horror, "You are... Wei Yingning!"
Wei Yingluo always felt a little strange.
If Jinxiu treated her out of jealousy, why did Aunt Fang get involved
It wasn't until she found the plum blossom that she had left behind... Before her sister entered the palace, Wei Yingluo had not slept all night, and she personally called her plum blossom, and an answer gradually surfaced.
"Tell me!" Wei Yingluo tugged at Aunt Fang's hair viciously, looking like an unwilling, evil ghost crawling out of hell, "Tell me everything about Wei Yingning! Otherwise, I will go to Wu now. Chief, exposing your usual harsh palace maid's evil deeds, then you won't be treated as a clean-skinned out of the palace!"
"Don't, don't, I said, I'll say anything..." Aunt Fang softened with tears, "I heard your name before and felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, Wei Yingning changed her name as soon as she entered the palace. She Aman…”
Xu is God's will, when Wei Yingning entered the palace, it happened to be in the hands of Aunt Fang.
The two sisters even did the same thing, getting up before dawn and embroidering different patterns on Aunt Fang's clothes.
"Later she made a scandal and was caught by me. I, I threatened her with this incident and asked her to hand over all the property around her, as well as her own money, to me for safekeeping." Aunt Fang pointed to the corner, "No, just under that board."
Wei Yingning threw her away, quickly pried open the wooden board, and took out an old-colored blue cloth bag from under the wooden board. When he unwrapped it, there was no copper plate in it, only one or two old clothes, and one piece was cracked. Worthless jade pendant.
"After so many years, the money... I have spent it." Aunt Fang retracted herself into the corner of the bed, hugged her knees with both hands, and shivered, "Don't tell me, when I leave the palace, I will find a way to repay the money. for you."
Wei Yingluo was not interested in money, she stared at the old clothes in her hands, her sister's body temperature seemed to remain on them, she cherished them in her arms, as if hugging her sister...
"You keep saying that my sister has made a scandal." She turned her back to Aunt Fang and said in a low voice, "What is the scandal?"
"It's not just stealing men..." Aunt Fang said.
"Nonsense!" Wei Yingluo turned her head suddenly and said sternly, "My sister is not that kind of person!"
Aunt Fang's shoulders shrank: "No, if you don't believe me, go ask Mammy Zhang."
Wei Yingluo frowned: "Mother Zhang also knows about this?"
Aunt Fang instead gave her a strange look: "Why do you think she takes care of you so much? It's not because your sister is the embroidered girl she values most. If you want to ask Aman, you shouldn't ask me, you should go to her..."
Before she could finish speaking, the room had disappeared without a trace, leaving the two doors that were violently pulled open, still making creaking noises.
The palace maid's place, the residence of Mammy Zhang.
There were two tea bowls on the table. After a while, the tea was no longer scalding hot, just the temperature that could be eaten. Mammy Zhang sat on the side of a tea bowl, closing her eyes and resting, as if waiting for a guest.
dong dong dong.
"The door is unlocked, come in." Mammy Zhang slowly opened her eyes, "Sit down and drink your tea first."
Wei Yingluo stood at the door panting, she ran all the way, so that her throat seemed to be on fire, and a cup of tea was poured into her throat, and finally she had the strength to speak.
"Mother." She put down the teacup and stared at Mammy Zhang who was refilling her cup. "Wei Yingning is my sister."
The cup was filled with tea again, and the emerald green tea leaves curled up in the cup, exuding a fresh tea fragrance. Mammy Zhang said slowly, "I told you, don't mention this name, it's a taboo."
Wei Yingluo stared at the tea cup she handed over. After a while, she asked softly, "You already know, you know everything, but why... didn't you tell me anything?"
"What do you want me to say to you?" Mammy Zhang said, "I'm disappointed in her when you say that Aman did something wrong?"
"Everyone said that my sister did something wrong, but what did she do wrong that she was going to kill herself?" Wei Yingluo pushed away the tea cup in front of her, threw herself on Mammy Zhang's lap, and slapped her hand up. She looked at her with tears in her eyes, like an aggrieved little granddaughter, shaking her grandmother's hand constantly, "Mammy, mammy, please tell me, please!"
Mammy Zhang really couldn't stand her, and sighed heavily: "Someone told Director Wu that she didn't return all night, and she must be having an affair with someone outside. Her luck is not as good as yours, Director Wu is in the rockery in the Royal Garden. Inside, the dirty underwear she left behind was found..."
"Elder sister has always kept herself clean and would never do such a thing!" Wei Yingluo heard it, but didn't believe a word, "She must have been wronged!"
"I also hope that she was wronged." Mammy Zhang looked at the little girl who was lying on her lap with pity, "but she told me herself that no one persecuted her, she voluntarily."
Wei Yingluo's eyes turned black for a while, and she felt that the heaven and the earth were spinning around. Every time Mammy Zhang said a word, there was an extra gap under her feet, and countless hands stretched out from the ground, trying to pull her into the gap.
"There is no other way but to deal with it according to the palace rules and beat her to death with a stick." Madam Zhang stroked her hair and comforted, "It's also her life that should not end, the Empress Dowager was ill during that time, and she didn't want to see her in the palace. Blood, stabbed fifty and drove out of the Forbidden City, how is she... how is she doing now?"
"... She's dead." Wei Yingluo couldn't help crying, "Everyone said that she was ashamed to see people, so she hanged herself, but I went to check the wound, there are blue finger marks on her neck, she It was strangled to death!"
Mammy Zhang was taken aback, and suddenly grabbed Wei Yingluo's shoulder: "Strangled?"
Wei Yingluo cried and nodded, tears falling down her cheeks with her movements.
"This is not right, this is not right..." Mammy Zhang has traveled more than the average person has eaten, and immediately found out the tricks, "If she really voluntarily messed with people, how could she end up being silenced? The situation? This matter, I'm afraid there is another secret... "
"Yes, that's why I entered the palace." Wei Yingluo wiped the tears from her face, "I can't let my sister die so unclear, I must find out the truth and give her justice! Mammy, please help I, help her too!"
"How do you want me to help you?" Mammy Zhang looked helpless, "It's been so many years, and there's no clue at all..."
clue
Wei Yingluo thought for a while, and suddenly took out a jade pendant from her arms: "Mother, look at this jade pendant."
It was one of Wei Yingning's few relics left. Because Aunt Fang was greedy for money, it had been hidden under the wooden board.
Mammy Zhang took the jade pendant over to take a look, and frowned immediately.
Wei Yingluo kept staring at her face, naturally she did not let go of the change in her expression at the moment, her heart moved immediately, and she asked with excitement and anticipation: "Mother, do you know this jade pendant?"
Mammy Zhang shook her head and said, "FucaHala."
This is a Manchu sentence, and Wei Yingluo can't understand it, so she can only wait for Mammy Zhang to explain her confusion.
"I don't know this jade pendant, but I do recognize the name on it." Mammy Zhang slowly raised her head and looked at Wei Yingluo with complicated eyes, "FucaHala, the owner of this jade pendant is—the emperor's younger brother, his wife and brother, and the imperial guard. , Fucha Fu Heng."
