Views:

"I don't know what Niangniang sees in you. A little embroidered girl has even climbed to the sky and entered the gate of Changchun Palace!" Mingyu looked up and down at Wei Yingluo, her eyes were really not friendly.

The one sent by Changchun Palace was actually this one...

Mingyu sat in the chair with a plate of dim sum, glutinous rice balls, mung bean cakes, rose cakes, sesame candies, and four-color desserts. Just looking at the colors, it was already delicious.

Mingyu ate the dim sum attentively, not like she was here to do errands for the queen, but rather like she took this opportunity to steal some free time.

As long as she sat, Wei Yingluo stood there for a long time. Thinking of Director Wu's previous warning, she couldn't help sighing in her heart: "It's better for the King of Hell, but the little devil is difficult to deal with."

The steps of Changchun Palace are not easy to go up.

"Okay, the words have been brought to you." Mingyu finally got tired of it, put the last piece of dessert into his mouth, clapped his hands, "Finish the embroidery workshop earlier, and come to Changchun Palace at the end of the month."

"Yes, I'll send you off, Sister Mingyu." Wei Yingluo took Mingyu all the way to the gate of Changchun Palace, back and forth for nearly half an hour, just walking and talking, it was more than she worked in the embroidery workshop for five or six hours tired.

The hardest and most tiring job in the world is to serve others.

After dragging her exhausted body back to the palace maid's place, Wei Yingluo frowned.

what's wrong...

The noisy discussion before was stopped the moment she entered the door.

The maids who lived in the same place were standing or standing, far or near, all looking at her with the same strange eyes, and those eyes made Wei Yingluo very uncomfortable, like mockery, pity and pity.

Why are you looking at her like this

Wei Yingluo walked back to her bed in confusion, with two quilts next to each other and two pillows next to each other.

"Where's Jixiang?" Wei Yingluo asked, "Have you come back yet?"

It doesn't take so long to eat a bowl of noodles. If she counts the time, she should have finished eating and came back.

A little palace maid who had a good relationship with Jixiang gave the answer in a low voice: "She was taken away."

Wei Yingluo was stunned when she heard the words: "What did you say?"

"She was caught." The little palace maid had to repeat it, hesitated, and added, "The thing is hidden on her body..."

"What's on her?" Wei Yingluo had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"...a sachet." The little palace maid sighed, "the peacock feather thread that was stolen earlier is hidden in it..."

"It's impossible!" Wei Yingluo walked in front of her a few steps, staring at her with burning eyes, "You lie!"

"I didn't lie! Director Wu personally found it from her!" Wei Yingluo's eyes were so terrifying that the little palace maid was so frightened that she looked around, suddenly stopped on a person, raised her finger to her and shouted , "It is said that it is still Linglong's secret!"

Wei Yingluo slowly turned her head: "Linglong!"

Linglong lay down on her couch, half of the pillow was wet from her crying, her red and swollen eyes looked back at Wei Yingluo, as if to explain to her, but also to others: "I grew up with Jixiang. , Her family is poor, she often has one meal but not the next, so her hands and feet are a little dirty... I didn't expect to enter the palace, some to eat and some to wear, she still hasn't gotten rid of this bad problem... "

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed her neckline with one hand and lifted her from the bed.

"Nonsense!" Wei Yingluo's angry face was close at hand.

"I'm not talking nonsense! I don't want to believe that she is such a person... It's just that I just mentioned this to Director Wu." Linglong took a breath and said aggrieved, "I learned later that the Queen Mother only gave Director Wu two The time limit of the day, I am afraid that he was anxious to catch the thief, so he chose to search, how did he know that he would really be found..."

"Ha!" Wei Yingluo sneered, "You think I will believe it?"

Linglong looked at her in astonishment.

"The Peacock Feather Line has been stolen for so long, and now Director Wu has found it as soon as he asks." Wei Yingluo slipped Linglong in front of her, and the two faced each other, eye to eye, like two swords intertwined , came across the spark of your death or mine, "Linglong, do you think I will believe it, do you think Director Wu will believe it? Director Wu... He just wants to close the case as soon as possible."

She threw Linglong to the ground, and Wei Yingluo rushed out of the palace maid's office without turning her head.

The trees receded on her side, the road receded on her side.

A person suddenly rushed out and stopped in front of her, blocking her rushing footsteps.

"...Mommy." Wei Yingluo saw who was coming and said while panting, "I'm going to find Director Wu, and it will be too late..."

No matter how late, the auspicious life will not be saved.

Even if she used up the affection she had accumulated before, even if she would owe Director Wu a huge favor, she would not hesitate.

As long as the child's life can be saved...

"Don't go." Mammy Zhang held Wei Yingluo on the spot with her hands like pincers.

"Mommy, get out of the way!" Wei Yingluo struggled.

Halfway through, he suddenly froze.

"Don't look!" Mammy Zhang hurriedly raised a hand to cover her eyes, but she was pulled down by her force.

Ahead is the road leading to Miyashiroji.

The palace maid and eunuch who made a mistake must go in and suffer a meal.

The door of Gong Zhengji opened, and an uncomfortable smell wafted from it, like old tears, like fresh blood.

Two eunuchs walked out from behind the door, one behind the other, carrying a stretcher.

There was a white cloth on top of the stretcher, covering a person from head to toe. The surface of the cloth was bumpy, and it was vaguely a woman's face. When passing by Wei Yingluo, the stretcher accidentally bumped, and a blue-white arm passed from the stretcher. Powerless to fall down.

An embroidered handkerchief slipped from her fingertips.

Wei Yingluo bent down and picked up the embroidered handkerchief, her eyes blurred immediately.

On the embroidered handkerchief is a naive yellow dog. The one raised by Jixiang's old family is said to be very human. He also knows to shoot some sparrows and voles outside and bring them home to feed the old and the young.

This is her auspicious birthday present.

"I wish you a hundred years of long life, and every year is safe." Wei Yingluo held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and muttered, "I wish you a hundred years of long life, every year...safe."

At the end, she was choked up, Wei Yingluo suddenly turned around and rushed towards Gong Zhengsi, but she was pulled back by Mammy Zhang forcibly.

"Let go of me!" Wei Yingluo said angrily, "I'm going to find Director Wu, and I'm going to ask him why he did this! He knows this is tricky, so why can't he handle it justly as he did with me before! "

"Silly child, everyone has their own difficulties." Zhang Ma sighed, "If the Empress does not limit the time, he will deal with it fairly and slowly find out the real culprit, but the Empress only gave him two days. At the time, he can only be tight on himself first, and then tight on others.”

Wei Yingluo knew the truth, but she was just unwilling to say: "But even if it can't be found out, he will be punished at most, but Jixiang will lose his life..."

"No one will be punished for an irrelevant person." Mammy Zhang said, tears streaming down the corners of her crow's feet eyes, tears running across the wrinkles on her face, she said hoarsely, "No one... will Cry for an irrelevant person."

In an instant, Wei Yingluo burst into tears.
