The world is heavy and late

Chapter 21 Friends ([-])

Xia Qing ran all the way back to the catering department, and went straight to the dormitory where they were resting. Only Shen Hui and Wu Xiaoyuan were in the dormitory, and the others went to eat more.

Wu Xiaoyuan sat on the bed, with her arms around her calves, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes were red, Xia Qing saw it the first time she came in, and felt distressed, how old she was.

But at this time she didn't have time to say anything, she could only pull her up, picked up her quilt, and said to her:

"Hurry up and check your bed and the place where you put away the sundries. If there are any harmful things like medicine powder, you must check carefully."

Xia Qing still couldn't figure out the whole thing, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that if Concubine Shu was poisoned, there must be someone who was in charge of food if she was unlucky.

She explained the matter clearly in a few words. When Wu Xiaoyuan heard that Concubine Shu was poisoned and her maid committed suicide to frame Cui Jieyu, her face was pale, and she fell to the ground as if she had no strength left. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. When I got up, the tears were streaming down, and I couldn't stop it at all.

Shen Hui watched Xia Qing rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things, with a strange light of excitement in his eyes, but he still said:

"Yuanyuan, Xia Qing, what are you doing?"

Xia Qing heard that Shen Hui dared to interject at this time, and immediately turned around and said to Shen Hui with a cold face.
"Shen Hui, listen to me. I don't care what you do outside, and I don't even look at it if you want to die. But if you involve the two of us, you'd better keep both of us together." Let's die, otherwise, in the future, I will make you want to die."

"Also, you don't know how to live and die, you really dare to intervene in anything. If something happened to us today, how could you get better? Not to mention your shallow knowledge, you still pretend to be smart, stupid thing."

Shen Hui's face immediately fell, and now she is not as scruples as usual in front of people, scruples that Wu Xiaoyuan dare not make a face, she sneered twice, took a dark look at Xia Qing, turned around and sat back on the bed, holding her hands together She crossed her chest leisurely, watching her continue to rummage through the closet.

Xia Qing didn't find anything, and seeing Wu Xiaoyuan crying miserably, sometimes she couldn't catch her breath, but she wanted to avoid others and dare not make too much noise, Xia Qing knew that she hadn't found anything yet. There was a feeling that the dust had settled, and the other maids sleeping together were about to return, and Shen Hui was still in the dormitory.

So he took a few steps forward and pulled Wu Xiaoyuan to go outside, and when he went outside to a deserted place, he rubbed Wu Xiaoyuan's face hard.I couldn't help pinching again, and said a little funny: "Isn't there still me, don't cry, we have to think about the follow-up."

Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Did someone send you something recently?"

Wu Xiaoyuan nodded and said: "Shen Hui told everyone that December is my birthday, so many of them gave me some small things."

Xia Qing nodded and said, "Then can you show me all those things?"

Wu Xiaoyuan immediately wiped away her tears but kept crying, nodded her head twitching, then turned around and ran to the room to take out a small box, Shen Hui watched Wu Xiaoyuan find the box and her eyelids twitched, waited for Wu Xiaoyuan to go out Unconsciously, he walked towards the door of the room and listened to them.

Xia Qing opened the box, and it was full of small odds and ends, including purses, handkerchiefs, silk flowers and so on.

Xia Qing glanced at it, took out a silver hairpin and a jade ring underneath, and said softly to Wu Xiaoyuan:

"Is there any servant from Zhong Cui Palace here?"

Wu Xiaoyuan nodded, she didn't know when the little servant heard about her birthday, so she also gave herself a silk flower, she didn't think it was expensive, and thought that she got along well with him, so she took it.

She reached out and rummaged through the box, found the silk flower and gave it to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing carefully looked at the silk flower and found that there was nothing wrong with it, then put it aside and asked, "Who gave you this jade ring?"

Wu Xiaoyuan said: "It was given by Sister Yao, I didn't want to accept it at first, it's too expensive, but Sister Yao said that this jade ring is just an ordinary thing in her place, I think she is really generous with her money, so I thought it was so, so I accepted it of."

In fact, Wu Xiaoyuan also thinks that this is really not that valuable. After all, he used to play with it when he was a child, but only after entering the palace did he realize that it is already a very precious thing for some people.
Xia Qing pondered for a while and said, "Did anyone see it when I sent you off?"

Wu Xiaoyuan shook her head and said, "Sister Yao said that wealth is not revealed. Although this thing is common to her, it is not so to me and other court ladies. So I didn't show it."

Xia Qing took a look at the jade ring, Xia Qing didn't know what to buy, she didn't know whether the quality of the jade was good or not, but she took a look at the jade ring and there were still some engravings on it.

Looking at the interface on one side, Xia Qing felt that the engraving was not finished yet. She suspected that the jade ring might be a pair. Xia Qing put the jade ring and the bead flower together and then picked up the silver hairpin.

"Shen Hui gave it to me, and no one saw it."

Xia Qing groped for the silver hairpin carefully, and found that the end of it seemed to be able to be pulled out, so he pulled it out hard and found that the inside was hollow, and when it was poured out, white powder appeared. Xia Qing felt like he had finally found it.

Xia Qing didn't explain further, it was too late.

Xia Qing stretched out his hand to put the silk flower and the hairpin on his head, and then reached out to hang the jade ring around his waist.He stretched out his hand to pull Wu Xiaoyuan up and said, "You must memorize everything I say now."

Wu Xiaoyuan came to some understanding, stretched out his hand to hold Xia Qing's hand tightly, and tried a lot of strength to speak, but when he opened his mouth, there were crying and choking, and he couldn't say a word, he could only speak. He kept stomping his feet and shaking his head, his face full of eagerness and sadness.

Xia Qing reached out and pressed Wu Xiaoyuan's shoulder, swallowed and said to Wu Xiaoyuan:
"Do you think I can escape? One of us delivers food to Concubine Shu's palace, and the other to the Palace of Ganlu. Now Concubine Shu is poisoned, and before the little maid died, she said it was Cui Jieyu's instigation. The food in the palace is fine, but the food in Zhongcui Palace is poisonous; the two of us are the only ones who can poison, and now the poison is between the two of us, so we can't even argue. You said that Shen Hui gave you the hairpin, did anyone see it? But everyone knows that you get along well with the servant of Zhongcui Palace. If you find a witness who bought this thing from that servant, will you be able to say that this hairpin was given to you by him. But you have never had any contact with Cui Jieyu People in the palace, why do you obey her orders? I am the only one, I will deliver food to Cui Jieyu, and I have the best relationship with you. This matter will easily be done by the two of us in the end."

Wu Xiaoyuan shook her head crazily, her tears seemed unstoppable, she kept shaking her head, she raised her head and cried: "It's not like this, it's not like this, it's all my fault, I shouldn't accept their things, it's all my fault... ..."

Xia Qing pressed her shoulder hard, and then said:

"But now, we can live alone. You think I first went to the Ganlu Palace to deliver food, and today I have to go to the Zhongcui Palace. This means that I have something abnormal, right. As long as I wear these things, it proves that I and the servant It has a relationship with poison. If someone asks you later, you just say that you don’t know anything. Usually, the servant tells you something about me, and he asked you to bring me the silk flower. Today is also what I insist on. Is it reasonable to go to Zhongcui Palace to deliver meals? Without other evidence, the Sixth Division will not allow them to do anything to you, and they will not do this step, and they will be afraid of leaking clues."

Wu Xiaoyuan kept saying in a low voice:

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Xia Qing didn't want her to think this way, how could she be blamed, she was such a warm, lovely and innocent girl, everyone who met her liked to talk to her.

So, Xia Qing hugged Wu Xiaoyuan in his arms and patted her on the back, then whispered in her ear:
"It's not your fault, it's someone else's fault. We can't take other people's blame on ourselves, right? You must be obedient, otherwise I will do this for nothing, and it will cost our lives, you know?" ?”

When Shen Hui heard this in the room, her eyes flickered slightly, but it was actually not bad.

"Also, if the Silu Division used torture this time when taking you to question, and you feel that you can't hold it anymore, you can say that you want to see Mr. Xu, and after you see him, you can say, Xia Qing invited him For the sake of Jinghu's face, you can reduce or reduce the exemption, but it may not work, you can try it when you can't hold on."

Wu Xiaoyuan hugged Xia Qing tightly. They both grew a lot taller this year, but it was obvious that Wu Xiaoyuan was much taller than Xia Qing.

Wu Xiaoyuan was about to speak, when she heard a female official, three court ladies and eight servants from the Secretary of Food, asking:

"Which of you is in charge of Concubine Shu's meal today?"

The young envoy on duty hurriedly asked:
"My lord and my father-in-law and aunts, please forgive me. I don't know what happened. I just went to inform the upper official who is in charge of Concubine Shu's meal and the maid who delivered the meal. Please wait a moment."

As he said that, he stuffed the purse in his hand into the hands of the leading female officer. The female officer thought about it and accepted the purse. Although this is a big event, it will soon be known to everyone in the palace.He leaned down and whispered in the young envoy's ear:
"Concubine Shu vomited blood and fell into a coma after eating dinner. The imperial doctor said it was poisoning."

The young envoy looked up at the female officer with a look of horror, the female officer was not surprised and waited for someone to arrive.

When Xia Qing was taken away from Wu Xiaoyuan, she turned her head and smiled at Wu Xiaoyuan.

Seeing the female officials at the door, he saluted first, then silently stopped talking, and followed them all the way to the Ganlu Hall. The female envoys and the emissary who had seen each other in the afternoon looked at each other silently, and sighed inwardly. In the afternoon, they only felt that the court lady was crazy and reckless, and she just kept a backup for caution, and now I'm afraid they still have to thank her.

It's the life of this little maid... Hey, no matter how I look at it, I can't keep it.
