Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 92
"That's it. If this is the case, you should put your heart in your stomach and don't worry about it. Just do what you want. There are many people who come and go every day. It is inevitable that some people will pass you by. This is not surprising. You don't know. Even my concubine's mother didn't find out, let alone you?"

What she said made the maids heave a sigh of relief and thanked each other.

Murong Wei sighed, "This matter really worries my concubine. It would be unsightly if this thieves turn everything into a mess. You should also think carefully about whether anyone has behaved strangely recently."

Murong Wei glanced at Aichun, this girl is just too smart.

What she said, if she didn't express her opinion, it would inevitably give people the feeling that she only trusted her own servant girl and didn't trust the concubine's servant girl.

At that time, how will she manage government affairs and win over contacts.

Her words almost forced Murong Wei to express his opinion by using the royal family's birth.

Murong Wei was not happy in her heart, she was thinking too much, if this matter had nothing to do with her, fine, if it was, Murong Wei would definitely not forgive her.

Even if it had nothing to do with her, Murong Wei would not use her for anything.

The others saw a scene of a loyal master and servant being staged in front of Murong Wei, and it seemed that they were acting it out for them.

The words said that there are many people who come every day, and they come to pay their respects, and there are indeed many people.

Could this be referring to Sang scolding Huai?

Originally, there were quite a few third-class maids, but it was easier to find ones of the same age.

Not long after, Aunt Yue hurried back.

"Princess, the maidservant has been found, it is Mei Xiang, the maid who takes care of the Xikua Courtyard, and has now escaped from the mansion.

"Mei Xiang? Go and ask the people from Shen Xingsi to draw pictures and capture her. This concubine wants to see who is so bold!" Murong Wei snorted, "When did Mei Xiang enter the mansion?"

People from Xikua Courtyard don't come often, and Mei Xiang seldom interacts with people, so not many people know her.

"I just entered the mansion at the beginning of this year, and I don't usually go out to socialize with people. Recently, I heard that this maid seems to be behaving very strangely. She seems to have got a lot of money, and now she has absconded with the money."

After Murong Wei asked about the situation, she sent the maids away, leaving only Madam Zheng and Aunt Yue.

Her dark eyes swept over the concubines present, and as her eyes swept over, all the girls lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at her.

"A sensible person speaks plain words."

There was no smile on her face, and she was utterly stern: "If you sisters are willing to recruit, I can ask Sister Zhang to spare her. I know that you are jealous of Sister Zhang's previous glory, and you may have conflicts with her. It would be too much to just add insult to injury."

The concubine Qi Yan stepped forward and said with some annoyance: "Princess, the slaves did not harm anyone, why did the concubine think that we did it?"

Wu Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed her.

Murong Wei said lightly: "Really, then who do you think? If you have nothing to do, don't stand out and say 'we', who do you represent? Can you prove that this matter was not done by one of you? Or do you know who caused it?" Aunt Zhang, who harmed this concubine?"

Qi Yan was immediately dumbfounded by what she said, blushing.

"Slaves don't know who did it..."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Murong Wei narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Sisters, I know that you are dissatisfied with this concubine, right? In fact, this concubine usually doesn't bother to care too much. Don't worry, let you come to say hello once in a few days. I don't owe you anything on weekdays. I think I did a good job. But today, Concubine Ben realizes that she is wrong."

Liu Yue hurriedly said: "Princess, the servant is not dissatisfied with you, really, the servant is not..."

Murong Wei waved her hand: "Stop talking. We are all women, and I understand your thoughts."

She picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a mocking expression, "I know you hate my position. But it would be wrong to harm me. Sisters, even if I can't conceive, do you think you have a chance?"

They didn't expect Murong Wei to tell them that.

Now that she has told them frankly.

Don't play any tricks, don't say anything else.

Speak directly and aboveboard.

Murong Wei is too lazy to play with them, it's troublesome.

Today I just want to clean up Nanny Ling, and take them with me by the way.

They are not worthy of Murong Weibu's situation.

"You know the prince's temperament. Once he is tired of someone, he will ignore him. If you say it now, I don't care about it, but if I find out..." Murong Wei smiled at Yan Yan, but that smile made people Feeling cold and heartbroken: "Don't blame my concubine for letting you live or die."

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

Zhang Yuqian couldn't believe that the concubine actually said such words.

It can be said that it is a personal grievance to attack her, but what happened to the maid who got a lot of money?

And could harming the princess be a personal grudge?
Besides these concubines, who else would do this?
Su Mei took a step forward, and everyone immediately focused their attention on her.

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes: "Aunt Su, is that you?"

Su Mei shook her head: "The concubine just wants to ask the concubine to investigate further, I believe the sisters don't have the courage. As the concubine said, we are not favored by the prince, even if you are barren, the concubine may not favor us. That being the case, why is it so? We have no reason."

The corners of Murong Wei's eyes twitched, looking at those women who looked at Su Mei gratefully, the sound of fingernails brushing the Yue Kiln celadon teacup in her hand resounded piercingly.

She tapped the teacup lightly, without saying a word, and everyone's hearts beat with each knock.

After an unknown amount of time, Murong Wei suddenly laughed.

Her laughter is crisp and sweet, her smile is sweet, and her beautiful eyes look forward to it.

Su Mei's pupils shrank, looking at the smiling princess in front of her, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Murong Wei put down the teacup, no longer restrained her aura, her aura was fully opened, the black pupils on her pretty face flashed a sharp cold light, her whole face was full of indescribable confidence and contempt, like a The light suddenly shines into the dark sky.

The red lips parted slightly, and she looked at her fixedly, "I didn't hear what you said just now, so please say it again."

Su Mei was startled, but at this moment, surrounded by Murong Wei's confident aura, the whole hall seemed to be in a strange situation, which made people almost breathless.

Such a proud and confident appearance, such a high-ranking posture like a queen, and the eyes that look like a clown playing make people feel an irresistible feeling from the bottom of their hearts, and only feel that the gap between them is too big.

No one can raise the thought of confrontation under her gaze.

Zhang Yuqian's heart turned cold, she suddenly felt like a joke, the princess is...too powerful.

She is really no match.

At this moment, she could only look up in her heart, and she couldn't even resist.

When the difference in strength between the two is too great, it will always make people unable to feel jealous.

Murong Wei's pride and self-confidence made her incomprehensible.

Could it be that because she is a noble daughter, she doesn't take these concubines seriously?
But she never understood that Murong Wei didn't regard the house fight as a life goal at all.

Therefore, she played such a game with a playful mentality.

Keep them, and come and play slowly.

It's like cat and mouse.

Su Mei was being taken care of by Murong Wei, so she had no choice but to repeat what she said just now.

"The servant girl is saying that we have no reason to harm you, because harming you will not win the prince's favor."

Murong Wei said calmly, "Say it again."

Su Mei's eyes flickered, but she didn't dare to resist Murong Wei's momentum at this moment, so she had to say it again.

"say clearly."

Murong Wei asked Su Mei to continue talking like this, dozens of times, not only Su Mei's mouth was dry, but the courage to stand up seemed to be at its lowest level.

Even those who were listening on the sidelines could feel their ears callused.

Murong Wei looked at it lazily, her plump red lips were slightly upturned, forming a beautiful arc.

"The concubine thinks that the sisters won't harm you, I..."

"stop."

She waved her hand to stop, her eyes shining brightly: "I heard what you said just now. You said you don't think they will harm my concubine? What do you think? Aunt Su, she speaks nonsense without factual basis, but she has to be responsible for it. "

Su Mei just habitually thought that she had to continue talking, she repeated it so many times, and in the end the words became more and more concise, and changed from harming others for no reason at the beginning to not harming others.

The words were still the same, but because of the different structure, Murong Wei took advantage of them.

Before Su Mei could answer, Murong Wei said again: "Can you guarantee that these sisters you mentioned didn't harm Aunt Zhang and this concubine? As long as you swear that you can guarantee that they and you will not do such a thing." Things, otherwise there will be a thunderstorm and you will die. Then I can take back what I said before. But I will also investigate this matter. If I find out that it is related to you... then I can forgive others, you, then Let them be punished."

Su Mei choked, she didn't expect Murong Wei to be so cruel and let her say such a thing.

She has always been silent, honest and plain, and it is also a moment to stand up like this today...

Now Murong Wei's words put people in a dilemma.

How can she be sure whether these people have done such things on weekdays?

How could it be possible to make such an oath?

If something really happened was found out, would she really be punished for others?

She can't bear the crime of murdering the princess, and the prince can't spare her.

The other women all looked at her.

Su Mei faced the pair of cool eyes with different expressions for a while, and saw that they each seemed to expect her to stand up, and seemed to encourage her.

But looking at Murong Wei's leisurely and mocking eyes, she finally retreated.

She couldn't swear such a poisonous oath in front of Murong Wei.

I can't even say such things on behalf of others.

She is not a saint, but a woman, and she is also a woman with her own thoughts, she will not choose to die.

That being the case, it is important to choose a suitable option.

"The concubine... can't promise to swear. After all, the concubine is not a Bodhisattva, so it is impossible to know the affairs of the world. The concubine is just guessing that the sisters did not do this matter, and I ask the princess to learn from it."

"Guess?" Murong Wei said sarcastically, "If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak. If you don't have evidence, don't stand up as a hero. If you can't be a Bodhisattva, why bother to show your kindness?"

Su Mei was stabbed so that she lowered her head and did not speak.

The other women didn't dare to speak anymore, some of them really hoped that Su Mei could stand up and swear, even though they knew it was impossible.

But who made Su Mei stand up?
If you don't have the ability to take responsibility, why bother to come out to make a rescue?
There is no way to guarantee it now, wouldn't it make people more suspicious that they have something wrong with them?

Everyone else was a little dissatisfied.

Even Liu Yue complained about Su Mei's self-assertion.

She couldn't understand why Su Meifang, who usually looked at the honesty, would make such a move.

"Don't talk anymore?" Murong Wei said coldly: "I asked you to talk just now, but now you don't want to talk anymore? What about you, Su Mei, why don't you continue talking? This concubine seems to be too pampering you on weekdays, let you You dare to talk back to this concubine, Madam Zheng, tell me, what is the duty of these concubines?"

Madam Zheng stood up and said in a clear voice: "A concubine is the prince's private property. As a concubine, she should serve the prince and the princess as if she were serving her parents. Make rules every day and serve the princess in daily life. The concubine must obey the order of the mistress. If you violate the rules, the mistress can be executed at will, if you offend the majesty of the concubine, you can ask for death, and you can sell it into slavery. The children of the concubine are raised by the mistress, and the concubine is not allowed to visit and raise..."

She talked a series of concubine rules of three obediences and four virtues.

These are all well-known things, and those who are concubines have to abide by the rules.

They were just people of low status, and if they entered the palace, they could be regarded as giving the sky great wealth.

They are neither side concubines with titles on the jade documents, but women with status and status, just concubines.

With such identities, even if the concubine sold them out, no one would say anything.

In ancient times, famous horses were exchanged for beauties, and the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Han Zaixi, even generously used concubines to entertain guests, because they never treated concubines as human beings, but as objects.

Originally, the concubine's room had to serve the mistress, and only when the mistress was not feeling well could she serve the man.

"My sisters seem to have had a good time for a long time. They have forgotten their original identities and regarded themselves as masters. Madam Zheng remembers to call some of the nuns of the palace to teach them to be concubines again. You are so courageous, you dare to murder the mistress, and dare to contradict me in front of me, you are really amazing. If you don’t teach me well, won’t you be climbing on my concubine’s head?”

Murong Wei smiled slightly, with a pleasant smile: "Concubines serve men with their bodies. They are playthings that men play with when they are happy. When the prince is interested, he is good to you. If he is not interested, don't forget your true nature." It's an object, if you use it properly as your vase, then you will still be rich and honorable. But if you are restless and still want to think about it, then it is not a pity to lose this object. I am not afraid of you when I say these words today Go out, I, a princess, punish my concubine, that's only right and proper, no one will say anything."

All the mistresses in the city will not sympathize with a concubine who dares to murder the mistress.

When did being a concubine become so arrogant?

"As for today's matter, I will find out by myself. If it has nothing to do with you, you'd better, but the rules of this concubine's room should also be established. I, I used to be too spoiled for you. Don't blame this concubine for treating you badly. You can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself."

She waved her hand and said like chasing flies: "Go down, my concubine is tired."

Zhang Yuqian stepped forward to bow and salute, but was shocked by Murong Wei's words just now.

Although they knew that they were seers when they were concubines, but no one ever said so.

The princess said directly that they are just objects, a decoration for a man to look at when he likes them and throw them away if he doesn't like them.

But Zhang Yuqian couldn't afford to refute.

Yes, the only wife of the prince is the concubine. She is the wife ordered by the court, but they are nothing.

If someone has a family, status and ability, how can he resist?

She had wanted to have a child before, but now she also figured it out, even if she really had a child, the princess would probably kill her.

Then the child would not be hers.

Zhang Yuqian left in a daze.

Su Mei also went back, she was silent all the way, and the others ignored her, complaining that she was meddlesome in their hearts.

If she hadn't angered the princess, they wouldn't have come to set rules in front of the princess.

The prince is not in the capital, and the princess is in charge of the mansion.

I don't know how long I will suffer.

And now they also have mutual doubts about each other, who in the world has the ability to do something to the princess?
Murong Wei watched them leave with a weary expression.

Aunt Yue said distressedly: "These concubines are really worrying, making Miss so worried."

Murong Wei laughed, "Aunt Yue still loves me. I want to eat Aunt Yue's cooking."

Yue Gu smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Okay, I will go and do it for the princess."

She happily turned around and went to work.

Murong Wei turned to look at Mother Zheng, "Has that Mei Xiang left?"

Madam Zheng nodded: "This servant has sent someone to send her to the ship to the south."

The maid named Mei Xiang was found by Madam Zheng. This maid was abducted and sold when she was seven or eight years old. Her family was originally from the south. Madam Zheng sent someone to find her and promised to send her back home. go.

The servant girl agreed to the matter.

In fact, Murong Wei only used Mei Xiang for all the arrangements.

As for the others, they were just implicated by this incident.

"Department of Shen Xing said hello, told them to save Wei Bin and his life, and get out of everything they can get out of."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Madam Zheng hesitated to speak: "Princess..."

Murong Wei looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

"The servant just thought, today is a good opportunity, why did the concubine spare Madam Ling? If she took them down in one fell swoop, wouldn't she follow the trend?"

"The dog jumps over the wall when it's in a hurry." Murong Wei said lightly: "This concubine has her own plans."

Nanny Ling has attracted a lot of influence in the palace over the years. She wants to overthrow her all at once, but she is also worried that her people will jump over the wall in a hurry and do something like abscond with money or make trouble, which is enough trouble for her.

Moreover, Murong Wei didn't know what Xiao Mingrui was thinking.

After all, she has been in love with Xiao Mingrui for so many years, even if she has a dog, she still can't bear it, let alone a person who has taken care of his nanny since he was a child, and grew up on her milk?

If she really dealt with Nanny Ling, Xiao Mingrui might be embarrassed.

She didn't believe that Xiao Mingrui didn't know some things about Nanny Ling all these years, and just turned a blind eye.

It's just that it doesn't involve his Ni Lin, so he doesn't have to care.

Murong Wei just wanted to collect some more evidence now, and when the evidence was enough and crossed Xiao Mingrui's bottom line, he would not tolerate it any longer.

It's best for Nanny Ling to be honored.

Murong Wei will not deal with her much.

Boiling the frog in warm water is like that, she will take it slowly and step by step.

Gradually gather authority into his own hands.

People, as long as they have a little hope, they will not think of taking risks.

She believed that Nanny Ling also had this fluke mentality.

She is not in a hurry, she can take her time.

"On the contrary, I need to find out what's going on in my concubine's house. I need to find out all the things I use in the future, and I don't need to incense my concubine anymore."

She didn't use incense very much in the first place, she only used it a few times occasionally, but she was taken advantage of unexpectedly.

So she felt that only the people around her knew about this matter. If she didn't often work by her side, how would she know about it?

It's just that it's hard to find anything about this matter for a while, so I can only check it slowly.

Now she just wants to see if the people in the backyard will be involved with the people in her house.

If anything, they must be eager to make contact.

There will always be a show.

As Murong Wei thought about it, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Nanny Ling sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, and beside her was her husband Ling Shan.

There is an ice bucket in this house, which shows luxury, and a servant's residence also uses this thing, which should show his authority in the palace.

Ling Fugui, Ling Fugui's only son, was in his thirties. He was dressed in cocoon silk and azure embroidered with a fan in his hand. The bruises under his eyes seemed to be caused by indulging in alcohol and sex all year round.

Although they are all in their 30s, they are still unusable.

Sitting next to him was a man with an honest face. He was Ling Shan's nephew Ling Youcai. Although he looked honest, he actually had the most evil ideas and Ling Shan valued him the most.

Ling Fugui said dissatisfiedly: "It's clear that the princess wants to deal with us, so she doesn't look at the prince's face? Could the prince be happy that she treats the mother like this?"

A stern look flashed across Ling Youcai's eyes: "Auntie, do we want to make trouble for trouble?"

Nanny Ling reprimanded in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? The princess is the master. If you really want to do this, the prince will really not spare us! I understand the prince's temperament best. If it doesn't involve some things he cares about, how about it?" He doesn't mind, but if he touches someone who shouldn't be touched, he will never let it go."

Ling Shan said a little irritably, "Then what do you think we should do? That boy Han Lin was sent out of the house, and now his wife is begging me to stay here, asking us to give him a safe life."

"An Sheng, it's all this kid. He's too courageous, and he was caught. I told him not to go too far, but he didn't listen."

Ling Momo said dissatisfiedly: "Wangfei has asked the people around her to tell me that as long as we settle down, she will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. You all put away your crooked thoughts. Make it up, make it up, otherwise the concubine will really take advantage of it, and the prince may not be able to make the decision, even if the prince will not do anything to me, don't even want your errands."

"Wangfei said so?" Ling Fugui rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I think Wangfei is also afraid of the prince's anger."

Ling Youcai frowned and said, "But Auntie, Wangfei has someone arrest Wei Bin and the others, what if they say something they shouldn't?"

Nanny Ling said coldly: "Let them say that there are many things they don't know, at most it's about embezzling money and things, so what?"

Ling Youcai hesitated to speak, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

There are some things he dare not say to outsiders.

If Wei Bin said something that shouldn't be said, the prince might really not forgive them.

Wei Bin cannot live.

Nanny Ling is getting old, and she is used to living a wealthy life. If she has a chance, she doesn't want to deal with the princess, and besides, she is really not sure about dealing with such a powerful person with first-class means and abilities.

Since the concubine said she was willing to spare her, she thought, at most, it would be An Ansheng in the future, and she would earn less. Anyway, this day is very good.

Just then, two girls came in.

"It's Qianqian and Yuanyuan, come to grandma quickly." Nanny Ling laughed when she saw her granddaughter and grandniece.

Ling Youcai's eyes flickered when he saw his daughter.

Thinking of some things, I couldn't help but make up my mind.

No matter what, Wei Bin must die.

He cannot live.

There are some things that Nanny Ling and Ling Shan don't understand.
