first princess

Chapter 113: The Real Murderer (2)
Guo Yan and Zhuge Yu glared at each other, and took advantage of this glance to see if the other's clothes were better than the one they were wearing, because they were all made by Shui Linglong herself.In the end, the two people came to the same conclusion: the other party's one looks better!
"Guo Yan, when did you get married?" Zhuge Yu asked with a half-smile, and it was not difficult to hear a hint of gloating in his eyes and tone.

The corner of Guo Yan's mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile: "At the end of the month!"

Zhuge Yu gritted his teeth, and had to endure this guy for so long!He casually picked up a plate of scallops and wanted to pour them into the pot, but was stopped by Guo Yan's cross arm. His eyes flickered, Guo Yan raised his eyebrows, and said, "Linglong can't eat seafood! She's allergic!" The young couple quarreled, so they added, "My godfather told me!"

Shui Hangge, you old fox, why don't you tell me?Zhuge Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!
Shui Linglong couldn't help laughing, since the prince had an accident, she had never seen Zhuge Yu lose control of his emotions.

Zhuge Yu asked the servant girl to remove the seafood from the table, and stood up in person to go over there to choose barbecue for Linglong.

As soon as he left, Guo Yan wrinkled his handsome face, tugged at Shui Linglong's sleeves, and said pitifully: "I don't have enough clothes, and my shoes are torn, look!"

After saying that, she stretched out her foot, and Shui Linglong found a wound on the edge of his right shoe. This kind of trick to deceive Shui Linglong is really too childish. Ordinary shoes have burrs on the holes, but they are very neat. I knew it wasn't worn out, but scratched by a knife.Sometimes Shui Linglong really wants to cut open Guo Yan's head to see what's inside!Why are you getting more and more childish?Getting more and more... like a poor kid who can't get candy?
Make it look like she's a motherfucker!

Shui Linglong remained unmoved, and just quietly ate the food in the bowl.

Guo Yan blinked his flickering eyes, made a gesture, and said otherwise: "I am married and I am the heir of the head of the Guo family. The two of us can 'work hand in hand'!"

"Who wants to be in trouble with you?" Shui Linglong gave him a hard look, and said after a while, "Pay the deposit first."

Guo Yan chuckled and lowered the volume: "Xun Feng has an unexpected staff beside you."

"Who?"

"Jin Shang Palace."

Is Jin Shanggong someone from Xun Feng?Shui Linglong put down her chopsticks, this was indeed beyond her expectation.She always thought that Jin Shanggong was just a retired female official hired by Concubine Yu with a lot of money and favors. She had slept with him for so many years, but she didn't even know that Jin Shanggong was his aide!I really don't know how many things Xun Feng still doesn't know!

Guo Yan looked at Shui Linglong with a silly smile.

Shui Linglong suppressed the anger in her heart, and said without changing her face: "What size shoes are you wearing?"

Guo Yan compared her fingers, and Shui Linglong coughed lightly: "Remember."

After a happy meal, the maids hurriedly evacuated the dining table and set up a long table, covered with smooth silk cloth, and put all kinds of fruits, pastries and green tea. King An Jun took Guo Yan and Zhuge Yu to drink together.

For a time, the garden was full of autumn colors, and laughter and joy.

"Sister-in-law, is there anyone from the Guo family who hasn't left the cabinet yet?" Mrs. Zhen asked Leng Youru gently.

After Leng Youru pulled her together, her hair was like dark black silk, elegant like a group of auspicious clouds floating from the sky, and there was a fairy air in her calm expression: "I haven't been out of the house for a long time, so I don't know, Linglong, do you know? "Clear and shallow eyes cast on Shui Linglong.

"Oh, the eldest, second and third misses of the Guo family are all married, and the fourth miss, Guo Rong, is married to the Guangping Hou Mansion, and only the second and fifth miss is left to stay in her boudoir." Shui Linglong replied obediently, using her peripheral vision. Paying attention to the movement around him, he saw a black shadow flashing through the forest and heading towards the main courtyard.The corner of Shui Linglong's lips twitched, hoping that her painstaking efforts were not in vain!

"How old is Miss Guo Wu? What does she look like? What's her personality..." Zhen's series of questions were thrown straight at Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong looked away and looked at Dong Jialin again, only to find that Dong Jialin's face gradually turned pale...

In the main courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun solemnly put down the secret report in his hand: "What you said is true?"

Yu Bofu bowed his body and nodded: "It's absolutely true! The young master and Guo Yan had a very happy conversation, not only allowed Guo Yan to eat at the same table with their husband and wife, but also had a very fun drinking with Guo Yan. Wrench the wrists."

When they were young, the two would fight as soon as they met. He even forced the Guo family to send Guo Yan to the battlefield when there was a fight last time. Why is the relationship so good now?If Guo Yan and his son are so good, it will be difficult for him to kill Guo Yan...

Zhuge Liuyun's tone sank: "Go and call the son here!"

...

Guo Yan was so drunk, Zhen Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "The prince was called away by the prince, Ming'er, please send General Guo back to the mansion, and remember to greet Mrs. Guo, Uncle Guo, and Mrs. Guo!"

Zhuge Shu stood up and said arrogantly: "I want to go too!"

Zhen sneered at her daughter: "It's so late, what are you messing around with? Go back to the room with mother!"

Zhuge Shu stomped his feet reluctantly, and ran back to his room angrily.

Shui Linglong finished washing, but Zhuge Yu still didn't come back. She picked up the cloth and thought about what kind of shoes to make for Guo Yan. At this moment, Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in, holding a bowl of fragrant soup in her hand.

Shui Linglong waved her hand: "I've eaten enough, I can't drink anything."

Zhi Fan smiled and said: "This is the soup that Wang Hao ordered the dining room to cook for the masters, and the master courtyard also sent a portion to the Shizi."

Shui Linglong put down the fabric, took the bowl from Zhi Fan, and Zhi Fan knelt down to help her arrange the embroidery basket: "Miss, what are you going to do this time? This servant will help you cut the cloth first."

The hot soup was as dark as medicine, Shui Linglong stirred it with a spoon, and sighed slightly: "For shoes, Ye Maona's soles are firm, you ask her to send two pairs over."

"Okay!" Zhi Fan happily responded, "Did you make it for the son?"

"Yeah." Why don't you give him this vinegar jar first?The hot soup was almost cold, Shui Linglong took a spoonful and brought it to her lips, she smelled it and felt that the smell was a little familiar, although she couldn't name it, she suddenly thought of the vast battlefield and countless wounded soldiers, she Frowning, he asked, "Who gave you this soup?"

Zhi Fan has a sensitive personality, and when he heard this, he was puzzled and said: "Oh, when the banquet was over, Mother Qiao ordered the servants who were close to her to serve, and the servants went to get them by themselves. Could it be that there is something wrong with the hot soup?"

Since it was received in the public school, there should be no problem.Shui Linglong didn't dare to drink, even if she had the slightest suspicion, she couldn't gamble with her body, her eyes darkened a bit: "Think about it again, did you meet anyone on the road?"

Zhi Fan recalled it carefully and said: "My servant met Miss Dong Jia! Miss Dong Jia also came out of the dining room with Xing'er, and my servant greeted her, but it happened that Xing'er was leaving the courtyard door for some reason. She bumped into the servant girl in the dining room, and then Xing'er accidentally knocked over the tray in the servant's hand. Miss Dong Jia felt guilty, so she gave her bowl of fire soup to the servant girl, and she brought Xing'er back to the house again. Get a new one from the dining room."

Shui Linglong remembered that as soon as she showed a little doubt in the cemetery this morning, the other party couldn't wait to attack her!
How fast!
Zhifan looked at Shui Linglong, and found that her eyes became cold little by little, and Zhifan's scalp was numb. If there is something wrong with this soup, she...she, the person who received the soup, can't get rid of it ?Will the eldest miss take the opportunity to drive her out of the house?
Zhi Fan thumped and knelt down on the ground: "Miss! I don't dare! I really don't dare to think about those miscellaneous things anymore! I am innocent, and I don't want to hurt Miss! Please trust me once more. !"

Shui Linglong glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Don't alarm your son about this, I remember that the mansion prepared a doctor for the elder sister, you go and invite him, just say that I eat too much and have diarrhea."

Zhi Fan felt lucky to survive the catastrophe, she stood up, her legs were shaking, God knows just now she really thought that the eldest lady would kick her out of the house.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Dr. Hu came to Moheyuan.Shui Linglong showed him the bowl of fire soup, and Doctor Hu frowned after checking it: "Why is there aconitum in it?"

No wonder Shui Linglong thinks of the seriously injured soldiers. Aconitum is an important medicine for dispelling cold and relieving pain. It can not only dispel the cold in the meridians, but also dispel the cold in the viscera. The soldiers also use it occasionally.However, it is very poisonous and must be processed before it can be taken internally, especially not with wine. Tonight Guo Yan brought Nv Nu Hong, and everyone drank a little wine more or less.

Shui Linglong gave Dr. Hu some money and asked him to keep the matter a secret.

After Dr. Hu left, Zhi Fan closed the door, frowned and said, "Why did Miss Dong Jia give you a bowl of soup with aconitum in it?"

Shui Linglong sneered: "If I die or get sick, do you think Zhuge Xi and Yao Cheng's wedding will be postponed?"

Zhi Fan didn't understand why the eldest lady asked such a question, but she still answered according to her own understanding: "If something happens to you, so will the son, and if something happens to the son, the palace will be in chaos, and no one is in the mood to marry. .”

Shui Linglong said speciously: "Yes, if Zhuge Xi doesn't leave, Dong Jialin can stay in the palace. This is the obvious reason, and another unknown reason is that I suspected Dong Jialin this morning that she killed Leng Wei." The real murderer behind the scenes."

Why is the reason still clearly on the surface and behind the scenes?Zhi Fan was at a loss and couldn't keep up with Shui Linglong's rhythm at all: "Then what should we do now?"

Shui Linglong tugged at the corner of her lips, her eyes sharpened: "Of course I want to report to the princess and ask her to drive Dong Jialin out of the palace!"

Since Leng Youru moved out of the Buddhist hall, she often accompanied Zhuge Liuyun, but at night she still went back to her Qingyou courtyard to rest.From Shui Linglong's point of view, Zhuge Liuyun loved Leng Youru deeply, even though Leng Youru stayed in the Buddhist hall for more than half of a year, Zhuge Liuyun didn't say that the two concubines or aunts were against her.As for whether the old matriarch has an opinion on this or not, Shui Linglong can't guarantee it, but it's okay to have an opinion, Leng Youru can give birth, and a son and a daughter will be blessed.

Some camellias and cloves are planted in the front yard of Qingyouyuan, and jasmine and poinsettia are blooming in the backyard, all of which are red and white, enchanting and fresh.

The night wind blew past, and the fragrance of flowers burst in. Shui Linglong stepped on the soft grass, and her breathing slowed down a lot unconsciously.

"You bastard! You can't even wash a piece of clothing! How can you work in the concubine's yard like this? You have been raised for nothing!" In the hallway lined with wicker chairs and low tables, Mother Qiao was putting one hand on her hip and poking her with the other. Looking at the spine of a little girl, she reprimanded viciously, "How many times have I told you? This is not a pig farm in the country! Everyone give me [-] points to do things! Otherwise, mother, I will not spare you!"

The little servant girl was so frightened that she burst into tears and said tremblingly: "Mother Qiao, I was wrong. I forgot to cut my nails this morning, so I accidentally scratched the princess's clothes."

Qiao's mother gave her a cold look: "Hmph! Careless? If one or two of you are careless to me, can you still do things in the yard well?"

The little maid trembled all over: "I...I...will definitely pay attention next time..."

"Next time? And next time?" Mother Qiao screamed loudly, almost piercing her eardrums, "Say that even if you make a mistake! What's the use of saying that? Why didn't you do it better when you did it? Hmph! No one in the world regrets taking the medicine! Mom, will I chop off your hands today?"

The little servant girl backed away in panic. Mother Qiao approached her step by step, and the little servant girl panicked. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and yelled loudly: "Princess, please forgive me! Please, princess, spare my life! This servant didn't mean it! Please forgive me, princess... Uh..."

Mother Qiao covered her mouth and yelled sharply, but the volume was extremely low: "You bloody bastard! If you dare to disturb the princess's rest, I will chop off your head!"

After all, the little servant girl still surprised the princess, and Cen'er came out to pass on the words of the princess: "Mother Qiao, the princess said that she is only a ten-year-old maid, so if you are ignorant, just teach me more."

The corners of Qiao's mother's mouth twitched, smiling was uglier than crying: "In that case, I'll take her down first to discipline her!"

Cen'er nodded, and looked in the direction of the hanging flower gate. Shui Linglong and Zhifan had been waiting for a long time, and Cen'er was very surprised: "Shi... the concubine is here! My maidservant greets the concubine!"

Qiao's mother and the little maid also hurriedly turned around and bowed to Shui Linglong, with embarrassing expressions on their faces: "Your maidservant kowtowed to see the concubine!"

Shui Linglong raised her hand indifferently, her tone was as usual: "Calm down, I'm here to see the princess, I don't know if the princess has rested or not."

Mother Qiao retreated with the little maid, and Cen'er gave a gentle smile: "No, the concubine will go to change the medicine for the prince later, and she is reading in the room now."

So Zhuge Yu hasn't left the main courtyard yet, I really don't know what the father and son have been talking about for so long, just because of Guo Yan?Shui Linglong shook her head, followed Cen'er into the inner courtyard.

Zhi Fan followed, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "The princess is very kind, she never beats and scolds the servants, even if the servants make mistakes, the princess usually handles them lightly, but that mother Qiao always relies on I am the concubine's companion, and I have nursed the second young master, domineering in the mansion, even the prince turns a blind eye to her, and the servants are more jealous of her."

The second young master that Zhifan was talking about was not Prince An, but Zhuge Yu’s younger brother Zhuge Yan. Zhuge Yan died young at the age of three. The strange thing is that no one in the house dared to mention the cause of his death, even if Zhi Fan tried his best Still haven't found any news.

In fact, it is normal not to be able to find out. Zhuge Liuyun was not the King of Zhenbei when Zhuge Yan died young, and his family lived in Kashgar. Except for a few confidantes, none of the servants here came from Kashgar.

Shui Linglong touched the corner of her lips lightly: "Good job, I will receive the reward from Mother Zhong later."

Zhifan almost thought he heard it wrong!The eldest lady has praised her, so she no longer has to worry about being kicked out of the palace?
The stone in Zhi Fan's heart fell to the ground, and he happily followed Shui Linglong into the princess' room.

Leng Youru's room is very elegant and unique. There is a pear wood landscape screen, beside which is a multi-treasure grid with various jade objects and a small gold-thread green luan incense burner with sandalwood. On the other side of the screen are several dark The red carved chair is covered with thin cushions and a wooden cool cushion.There is a blue and white porcelain vase standing on the coffee table, with white and fragrant jasmine blooming, and water drops hanging on the petals.

"Mother Concubine." Shui Linglong saluted politely.

Leng Youru smiled slightly and said, "Sit down, why did you think of coming to my room today?"

Shui Linglong sat down as promised, and Cen'er offered a cup of Shui Linglong's favorite rose tea, and a plate of four-color fruits, including grapes, pears, oranges and honeydew melons.Shui Linglong looked around, and Leng Youru said to Cen'er: "Go and see if the plaster is ready?"

Cen'er blessed her body: "Yes!"

As soon as Cen'er left, Zhi Fan also followed, and Shui Linglong confessed all about the hot soup: "...Mother Concubine, look, is Xing'er so short-sighted when walking? Why did she run into someone? Xing'er The son must have knocked over my soup on purpose, so that Dong Jialin would have an excuse to give hers to me! If I hadn't learned some medical skills from the doctor in the Zhuangzi in the early years, I wouldn't be able to smell aconitum at all. In that case, I will be killed by her!"

Leng Youru's complexion changed when she heard the words, and her tone was no longer indifferent, but mixed with a trace of coldness: "Miss Dong Jia is someone close to Xiaoxi, if you don't have solid evidence, it will be difficult for me to get it back for you. justice."

After hearing Leng Youru's words, Shui Linglong didn't back down immediately: "Mother, what happened tonight is really very mysterious! If Xianggong hadn't been called to the main courtyard by his father, this bowl of soup containing aconite Maybe it also got into Xianggong's stomach..."

"You guys usually eat... are you so indifferent to each other?" Leng Youru's voice suddenly rose to a decibel, and his eyes became sharper. He obviously doesn't like people approaching, and he doesn't know how to share utensils with others...

Shui Linglong lowered her head, blushing with embarrassment: "I...we..." She looked ashamed to speak!The princess was so excited before she even said the details, if she told the princess that the glutinous rice ball Zhuge Yu put into her mouth could roll it with her tongue cheekily, would the princess vomit blood?

Soon, Leng Youru calmed down and said, "Even though they are husband and wife, don't be too aggressive! A concubine's wife and a concubine's room are different after all."
