Chapter 54

Kaifeng House.

Xin Yi half-closed his eyes indifferently, sat on the hay with his knees hugged, without raising his head.

Since she came in, she hasn't said a word, her expression is calm, and she has a calmness that doesn't match her age, which makes Zeng Qinda a little impressed.

"Little lady, I advise you not to be stubborn. Mr. Zhang is not as easy-talking as this officer... If you don't recruit now, you will not be at ease when Mr. Zhang comes to interrogate."

Xin Yi looked up at Zeng Qinda's fat round face and smiled.

As far as she knew, Zeng Qinda was just a hobgoblin, a grasshopper, and had no stand of his own.Whether it was Fu Jiuqu, Cao Yi or Zhang Yaozhuo, he couldn't afford to offend, nor did he want to offend.

"Master Zeng, I want to ask you to do something."

Zeng Qinda glanced back at the corridor of the prison and lowered his voice.

"What are you doing? Don't hurt me..."

Xin Yi smiled, "This matter will benefit Mr. Zeng and not cause any harm."

She moved closer and said something in a low voice, only to see Zeng Qinda staring and waving his hands again and again.

"Impossible, I haven't lived enough yet. Let Mr. Zhang know, not to mention the black yarn on the neck, I can't even keep my head."

Xin Yi said: "If Mr. Zeng doesn't do it, will he be able to keep his head? In the last two cases, Mr. Zeng has extended a helping hand. If your Mr. Zhang knows, will he spare you?"

Zeng Qinda lowered his face, "Are you threatening me?"

"I just want to tell Mr. Zeng that if you bet on both sides, you will not lose your money. Doesn't Mr. Zeng understand who the King of Guangling is?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, that expression made Zeng Qinda's heart shudder.

He hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Little lady, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This time, the king of Guangling may not be able to keep you. If you are more honest, you may be able to suffer less. The battle between the nobles, you, a commoner, why bother?" Get involved?"

Xin Yi smiled, glanced down slightly, and coughed lightly.

"Master Zeng!" The jailer's movement came from outside.

Zeng Qinda was startled, cleared his throat, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"This officer is interrogating criminals. What's the noise?"

The jailer said, "Master Zhang is here to invite you."

Zeng Qinda looked back at Xin Yi who was sitting quietly, and nodded.

"Understood, the officer will go immediately."

Just now when Zeng Qinda came in, he called all the guards outside.

When he left, the jailer did not leave, but said loudly: "Brothers, I am watching here, you go to drink. The lamb wine from Liang's main store at Qiaotou, Longjin, 82 cents, cooked by Grandma Chen. Meat, I cut a full three catties, enough for a few of you to beat your teeth hahaha."

Accompanied by the string of laughter, the people outside gradually dispersed.

That guy just stepped over and looked at Xin Yi with his arms folded.

"Master Jiu asked me to ask you, how happy are you to live in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Xin Yi looked up, but saw Duan Sui's tall body in the bunt uniform of the jailer of Kaifeng Mansion, with a gloating expression on his face.

"not bad."

snort!Duan Sui squinted at her, "You are happy, but you have hurt me."

Xin Yi was puzzled: "Huh?"

Duan Sui squatted down and raised his chin.

"Tell me honestly, who wrote that poem?"

"poetry?"

"Ascension to cross the water and go to the mountains to draw wells, I will go back to Master Jiu and tell you that you wrote it. Master Jiu punished me without saying anything, and asked me to study more... Little lady, my salary will be fined until next year , can you do me a favor and stop lying to me?"

"Pfft!" Xin Yi couldn't hold back.

He was amused by Duan Sui's serious expression.

"If you are familiar with the three hundred poems of the Tang Dynasty, you will know. Guard Duan, you didn't come to me for revenge, or for misery, right?"

Duan Sui took out something dissatisfied and threw it on the hay.

"Here. Master Jiu asked me to bring it to you."

When Xin Yi saw it, his eyes straightened.

Another bottle of imperial medicine packaged in Jinduanhe.

Duan Sui hummed sourly.

"For detoxification, eat it. Jiu Ye said that you still have a lot of strength to die faster..."

Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry, and stuffed the purse into his arms.

The medicine that Chen Chusheng put in the wine was not fatal, but had a short-term paralysis effect, and she had almost recovered...

"Guard Duan, what's going on outside?"

Duan Sui squinted his eyes and looked around, suspecting that the little lady was trying to sell medicine again, his eyeballs twitched.

"A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"good news."

"Ma Fan found it."

"Not bad news."

"Ma Fan is dead."

"Why is the news neither good nor bad?"

"When Ma Fan died, you were in the jail in Kaifeng Mansion, so you were not there."

"..." It actually makes sense.

"Did you find any useful evidence in the Medicine King Pagoda?"

Duan Sui chuckled, "Let me tell you, what's the benefit?"

Seeing Duan Sui's proud face, Xin Yi raised his eyebrows.

"What benefits do you want?"

"Because of you, I have been fined a year and a half of salary, you don't subsidize subsidies?"

ha?Xin Yi was happy.

"Scrape the oil on the chicken feet, and pick the meat off the horns. What are you dreaming of?"

"Then I'm leaving?"

"No delivery."

The old god Xinyi was sitting on the ground, not caring.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Imperial City Division was always an open-ended existence. "The soldiers who inspected affairs were all over the capital." Since Duan Sui was able to come and go freely in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, she didn't believe that Fu Jiuqu had no back-up...

·
Zhangjia Village.

The dogs in the village barked very fiercely.

Xiangling and Liangren hid behind the pile of firewood with the three cubs, and watched helplessly as the government servants from Kaifeng Mansion broke into their small courtyard and rummaged around, their throats choked with nervousness.

"Fortunately, my sister was already prepared..."

"Well, let's go quickly and find the Guangling County King."

Sannian sniffed, whether to cry or not.

Xiang Ling took her cold hand, rubbed it for her, and took another breath, "Don't be afraid, Auntie will take you to find the county king..."

Sannian pursed her mouth and kept sniffling, "I want mother."

The beloved squatted down and hugged her up: "When you see the king of the county, you just say that, understand?"

San Nian nodded heavily.

Er Nian raised her hand, "I understand. I want to cry too, loudly..."

"Shh..."

It was snowing heavily again, and the road was wet and slippery. By the time the two girls and the three cubs arrived at the Princess's mansion, it was already time to hold the lanterns.Along the way, there are bright lights everywhere, filled with the joy of the New Year.

In the wind and snow all over the sky, the three children without father and mother looked even more pitiful.

The beloved knocked nervously on the door knocker of the Princess' Mansion.

……

Princess Palace.

Zhou Yiliu was instructing a few maids to carry pots of blooming winter crabapples into the greenhouse.

It takes a lot of work to grow crabapple flowers in the twelfth lunar month, but as long as you have the heart, things that ordinary people can't do are not a problem in the Princess's Mansion.

Zhou Yiliu looked at the beautiful color of begonias, and touched them lightly with her fingertips...

This is not a begonia, this is a hairpin tassel, rich and romantic, this is a grand scene and powerful, this is the prosperity and glory that many people can't dream of...

Zhou Yiliu's slightly squinted eyes looked melancholy into the snowy waterside pavilion, they suddenly opened up, and she retracted her hands to reveal a smile.

"Sister Baizhi, sister Ziwan."

Baizhi and Ziwan are two big girls in Linqu Pavilion, about the same age as Zhou Yiliu, but they are people close to Fu Jiuqu, they are usually the most respected in the mansion, and everyone will respectfully address them when they meet.

"Miss Zhou, what's the matter?" Bai Zhi stopped and responded with a smile.

Zhou Yiliu walked up the covered bridge, and asked with a smile across the waterside pavilion, "Seeing that the two sisters are hurrying, where are you going?"

Bai Zhi laughed and rolled her eyes: "The brothers and sisters of Zhang Duyu's Hou family have come to the mansion, but Master Jiu is not in the mansion, so Housekeeper Xie asked us to take care of it."

Zhou Yiliu's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "It just so happens that I made some candied pastries this morning, I'll pick them up when I go back to the house, and bring them to the children, shall we?"

Bai Zhi and Zi Wan looked at each other.

"Then I will trouble Mrs. Zhou."

That day when Qingdai was punished for licking up a can of yam rib soup, she was ashamed. Bai Zhi and Zi Wan felt terrified when they thought about it, they took candied pastries and thanked Zhou Yiliu, but they didn't dare to take it to their children.

After leaving the hanging flower door, I happened to see the young man carrying the slops out, stuffing it into the bucket, and then went to the front flower hall as if nothing had happened.

~

Fu'an Hospital.

Zhou Yiliu heard Zhao Yuqing's cough, wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief, walked in quickly, took warm water and pills for the eldest princess to take, and gently stroked her back with her palm.

"Your Highness, the servant girl has put all the begonia flowers in Ting Xuexuan's greenhouse..."

After a pause, he said cautiously: "The young gentleman and the young lady of Zhang Duyu Hou's family are also playing in Ting Xue Xuan... They are so cute, Your Highness, do you want to go and have a look?"

The eldest princess shook her head, and suddenly saw Zhou Yiliu's finger.

"Why are you injured?"

Zhou Yiliu smiled slightly, "It's okay, I accidentally pricked a flower branch when I was pruning, and the medicine has already been applied. The eldest princess doesn't have to worry about the maid."

"Look how pitiful you are, you have no parents, no relatives, I don't worry about you, who will worry about you?"

The eldest princess gave her a reproachful look, sat up on the bed, and sighed with a smile: "Let's go, you have such filial piety, I will go to see the flowers you raised..."

She handed Zhou Yiliu her hand, motioning for her to help her up.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yiliu bit her lower lip, suddenly knelt down, and fell down beside the bed with a plop.

"The servant girl is guilty, please punish the eldest princess—"
