As soon as Nanny Yang left, the room fell completely silent.
Liu Wei covered the old lady with a quilt and was about to get up, but the old lady suddenly grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes, and asked, "Why?"
Liu Wei was puzzled: "What?"
"Why do you want to do such a thing of losing your head?"
Liu Wei patted her grandmother's hand and comforted her: "Didn't grandma know before that her granddaughter is restless? In order to escape from marriage, her granddaughter went to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, a woman was penniless, and it was not easy to survive. Masquerading as a man is just a way to survive, and after that, entering the court was an accident, but the mistake has already been made, there is no way to recover, if not, just accept it, in the end, no one can die."
"You can't die? You think you can't die? A woman is an official, do you know how much is involved? The crime of deceiving the king is no small matter, Wei'er, you are not such an impulsive person!"
Isn't she impulsive? Liu Wei thinks that she is very impulsive, she gave birth to Liu Xiaoli on impulse, returned to Beijing with Rong Leng on impulse, now she has a second child.
But Liu Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with this impulsiveness.
At least, she is indeed living a good life and happy now.
After all, people have to live a "fate".
The old lady was not as optimistic as Liu Wei, and when she heard that her granddaughter was going to investigate several murder cases in the palace that had been raging in the capital recently, she couldn't let go of her depression.
Even though they were trapped in the mansion and were not very sensitive to outside news, these murders did not last in a day or two. They lasted for more than half a month. They were all living in the capital, so how could they take it seriously? Can't hear it either
Liu Wei knew that she and the old lady couldn't explain why even if she explained again, so she finally said simply: "That's it, grandma, are you willing to help granddaughter?"
The old lady looked at Liu Wei with disapproval on her face, but seeing Liu Wei's pleading face, the matter had indeed reached the point of no return, the old lady paused for a while, finally sighed, frowned and said: "Grandmother and Concubine Min It is not considered acquaintance. Back then the palace was controlled by the empress. Occasionally he ordered his wife to come to the palace to meet, and most of them were the empress. Concubine Min didn't appear often at that time. The four noble concubines in the palace, namely Concubine Min, were the most low-key Later, when she heard that she had a serious illness, she even disappeared, but there was one thing that grandma still remembered."
"What?" Liu Wei asked.
"Concubine Min's maid in the past has been to Zhaoning Palace."
Liu Wei raised her eyebrows lightly.
At this moment, the old lady felt much more comfortable due to acupuncture, she took a breath, recalled seriously, and said slowly: "That day was the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, all the noble ladies and Mrs. Before the flower viewing party started, I rested in the side room of Zhaoning Palace. After sleeping, I slept until the evening. When I woke up, I heard arguing outside. When I opened the door to look, I heard a palace lady yelling, saying, I asked the Empress for permission to allow the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Concubine Min. But after the maid said a few words, she was dragged down and seemed to be beaten. At that time, the grandmother didn't know the condition of Concubine Xiao Min. Few people will really inquire about this kind of concubine matter, they just listened to what the maid said, it seems that Concubine Min made some mistakes, so the empress refused to allow the imperial physician to treat her."
The old lady spoke very slowly. After all, it was some years ago. It took some effort to recall, but just remembering the beginning, the rest went much more smoothly.
"And after the flower banquet that day, less than half a month later, there was news from the palace that Concubine Min had passed away." The old lady couldn't help pulling Liu Wei's hand when she said this, and said: "Even though this matter has been going on for many years, there are still a lot of troubles inside. If you can not touch it, you'd better not touch it, lest you touch some people's taboos."
Liu Wei knew what the old lady meant.
The queen refused to allow the imperial doctor to treat Concubine Min, and Concubine Min died half a month later, but Concubine Min was one of the four noble concubines. Could it be that Concubine Min really had no sense of existence in the eyes of the Emperor? Half a month later, no one told the Emperor
It can be seen from this that the maid knew that it was useless to ask the emperor, and the imperial doctor was not allowed to treat her. This order was issued by the emperor.
Seeing Liu Wei's troubled appearance, the old lady was also confused. She thought that Liu Wei had escaped, left the capital, and would not return for a short time.
That's good, as long as you can avoid disaster, there is nothing better than running away. This child has suffered too much, and he can't lose his life.
But never thought that this girl is so fearless about death, what kind of absurd things are she doing for a woman to be an official
The old lady thought that she had left this remaining life until now, thinking that she could bear more and bear more for the Liu family, but now, the old lady really started to get confused. With only one person's strength, she could really Do you want to keep the Liu Mansion alive
Sighing, the old lady's face seemed to be getting older all of a sudden, tired from the inside out, seeing that Liu Wei was still thinking about what she said just now, the old lady stretched out her hand and patted the back of her granddaughter's hand.
Liu Wei regained consciousness and looked at the old lady: "Grandmother."
"Go and open the cabinet over there."
Liu Wei looked at the direction the old lady was pointing at, which was the wardrobe in the inner room.
Liu Wei didn't know what was inside, but she still got up and walked over.
Pulling open the cabinet, there are pieces of clothes inside, which are neatly placed throughout the cabinet, and there are a few cloaks underneath, which are also neatly arranged.
"Take out the cloak underneath."
Liu Wei took out the cloak according to what the old lady said, and unfolded it. She thought that the old lady was cold, and was about to take the cloak to the bed and put it on for the old lady, when she heard the old lady say again: "There is a small hidden compartment inside. , can you see it?"
Dark grid
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but bent over to look, but it was too dark inside, so she couldn't see anything, so she simply touched it with her hands.
After touching it, I really felt a piece of wood behind the cabinet, with obvious dents.
Open the small clip, inside, there is something like a wooden box, Liu Wei took it out, and saw that dust had covered it.
Liu Wei wiped the ashes away with her sleeve, took the wooden box, walked to the bed, and handed it to the old lady.
"Open it." The old lady ordered without answering.
Liu Wei opened it, and saw a piece of red cloth and a piece of gold lock in the small wooden box.
Liu Wei was puzzled, but the old lady didn't explain, she just stretched out her hand, unfolded the red cloth, and shook out a letter inside.
Liu Wei looked at the blank envelope that had not been signed, and turned to look at the old lady again.
The old lady put the red cloth and letters back into the box, then closed the lid, stuffed it to Liu Wei, and said, "This may be the last thing you need to save your life. Grandma used to think that it was enough for grandma to keep it by herself. , can be used by yourself, but now it seems that the danger you are in is deeper than grandma thinks. This thing is entrusted to you by grandma. You are a child with a sense of proportion. You can figure out when to use the things inside. From now on, your life is your own decision."
