Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 19: Painting a building without evidence

Chapter 19: Painting a building without evidence (1)
Cheng Yu would accompany the prince for dinner every day, and Zi Ling would be in charge of the Lengxiang meals.I accompanied her to deliver the food to Lengxiang House, and served her to eat.She was a little nervous during the meal, and she glanced at me from time to time.As if she was afraid that I would pick on her posture.

I sighed silently, pulled Zi Ling to salute and then retreated together, so that she could eat more comfortably.

Ziling took me to the servants' dining room, where the cook had already left dishes for us.The two finished eating slowly, then turned back to Leng Xiang to retrieve the dishes, and then went for a walk in the courtyard.

Along the way, Ziling pointed out everyone's yards for me to see.

"My lord and the rest live in the main mansion when there is nothing wrong, but if there is any trouble, they will all go out and live in the barracks. Qinger, you are lucky. You have encountered the recent chaos in Qingze, or you may not be able to tell at this time Where will the masters be?"

I nodded and said yes.

"But that being said, you have been in the palace for so long, you should also know what kind of person the prince is. He will go to the camp every day, and the son will accompany him."

I frowned: "Isn't that very hard work?"

"Who said it wasn't." She sighed.

After walking for a long time, I felt a little tired again.Just as he was about to go back the same way, he saw a pair of Bi people approaching from a distance.Feeling inexplicably panicked, she hurriedly dragged Zi Ling to hide behind the eaves pillars, and only came out when Cheng Yu was far away.

Zi Ling was puzzled: "Why do you want to hide?"

I smiled awkwardly: "If you see us and spoil your son's interest, you won't be angry. It's better to hide."

She thought it made sense, so she praised me again.

On the way back, she kept talking, which turned out to be noisy that didn't match her appearance.

"Didn't you think about the character and appearance of the son of the world in Luoyang?" Before I could answer, I said to myself, "But this girl Lengxiang is really the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I want to come here. Only she is worthy of being the son of the world."

I suddenly stopped, and reached out to rub my temples, "Sister Ziling, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

She murmured: "Okay, okay, sleep well, and you will feel better tomorrow."

Since I came to Mocheng, Cheng Yu's daily life has been taken care of by me, but no one has anything bad to say.

Every day before dawn, Cheng Yu would leave the mansion with the prince, and ride straight to the barracks.The rest of us female relatives are looking for things to do by ourselves.Both Ziling and I are maids, so we are naturally easier to talk and can play together.As for Leng Xiang, because everyone treats her as a guest and treats her respectfully, she is also quite melancholy, but she never says anything.

I didn't bring any women's clothes when I came here, and now I live in the main mansion, and Zi Ling even made me wear the clothes I was wearing.There are rules in the house, and there is a fixed time every year to find someone to cut clothes.Because the number of people is clear, there is no extra to wear.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Seeing that everyone has autumn clothes to wear, I can't help being jealous.So I picked a day and took Ziling to accompany me to the street to buy some clothes.Who knows that Leng Xiang, who has never dared to talk to us, overheard our plan, and begged me and Zi Ling to take her with me.It is said that after staying in the mansion for so many days, even the bones are hardened, the weather is fine today, it is good to go out for a walk.

She is a beauty in the first place, and she is too beautiful to ask for.I was fascinated for a while, so I agreed, Zi Ling has always been responsible for taking care of Leng Xiang, seeing that she wanted to follow her, naturally she would not object.The three of us left the main mansion through the back door after lunch.Most of the servants knew Zi Ling well, so they didn't stop her. It can be said that the journey went quite smoothly.

They went to the tailor shop recommended by Zi Ling to choose some ready-to-wear clothes, and when they left the shop, they saw that it was still early, so the three of them discussed to find some places that sell food to taste the flavor of Mocheng.Both Leng Xiang and I are from Luoyang, so we are particularly interested in these things that best represent the local characteristics.

I just came out of a jelly shop and was about to go to the next one when I saw several men in black walking across the street.The one at the head is quite good-looking, and also quite imposing.I seemed to have seen them before, but I thought maybe it was just a coincidence, and I didn't think about it in other ways.But obviously, they have been paying attention to us for a long time.

The leading man in black bowed his hands to Leng Xiang, and said respectfully: "Miss, I am ordering you to go to the mansion to have a talk."

Zi Ling and I turned to look at Leng Xiang suspiciously at the same time, but we saw that her face was also full of confusion.After thinking for a while, she said cautiously, "Who is the master of the young master? I don't have any acquaintances in Mocheng?"

The man gave a rather cryptic smile, and said: "The girl knows my master, even if she can't remember it now, she will know it when she meets her."

Seeing that Leng Xiang was at a loss, with a worried and frightened face, I took a step in front of her. "I'm sorry, it's getting late now, and my lady is going back to the mansion. If your master has something to do, why don't you come to our mansion to see the lady in person."

The man was displeased, but he ignored me directly and stared at Leng Xiang.There is wonder in it, but there is also humility.

"Before I came, my master told me that he was very guilty that he couldn't come to see the girl in person because he was busy with important matters. But please forgive me, and when we meet, he will offer tea to plead guilty." He spoke very politely, I guarded him like a bad guy like this, and I felt a little sorry in my heart.But if something happens to Leng Xiang, I have no way to explain it to Cheng Yu.

The sleeve was pulled by someone, but when I turned around, it was Leng Xiang.She leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Qing'er, although I don't remember knowing such a person, he is quite polite. If it's not far away, why don't you go and meet him?"

I said displeased: "If they don't know the root or the bottom, what should they do if they have evil thoughts in their hearts?" She immediately froze like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The man was very happy to see that Leng Xiang agreed, but I dismissed all this with a few words, and was very angry for a while.He solemnly said: "Miss, please don't worry, we are definitely not bad people. My master and this girl are old and have some connections, so I want to invite the girl to go."

He looked a little angry. I saw that there were a lot of them, and they were all skilled in martial arts.Although it is now on the street, the sky is blue.But if they are really angry, they don't know what they will do, and if they hurt Leng Xiang, then I will be to blame for death.

"Since you are so sincere, I can't stop it anymore." I said lightly, "Where is it? If it's convenient, take the three of us there now."

Not only did the man not feel relieved when he heard it, but he hesitated to speak.After a while, he said: "My master only wants to see this girl."

"What!" I took Leng Xiang's hand and said with a sneer, "If you don't invite us, then let's forget it. Let's go." After speaking, I dragged Leng Xiang forward.Zi Ling also followed.

"Girl" came a few times behind me, but I pretended I didn't hear it.But within a few steps, there was a pain in the back of the neck, and he lost consciousness in the next second.All that remains is that they are too bold.

When Youyou woke up, she found herself in the carriage, and Leng Xiang was still lying unconscious beside me.But from the brocade quilt covering her body, it can be clearly seen that the difference between us is not ordinary.

Maybe the road is not easy to walk, and the carriage is also bumped.Fortunately, they didn't seal the windows. Through the curtains that fluttered from time to time, it could be seen that it was already night.I lay on the plank and couldn't see my surroundings clearly.

"Are you awake?" The curtain was lifted, and the man in black appeared in my sight.

"What are you trying to do?" I glared at him.

He shrugged helplessly, "I originally wanted to invite this girl as a guest, but you insisted. I really have no choice but to make you all faint."

"Where's the girl with us?" Zi Ling was not in the car, wondering if something happened.

He smiled, "Don't worry, girl, I didn't take her here. I didn't want to implicate the girl, but you kept holding her hand, even if you were knocked unconscious, you still wouldn't let go. I have no choice but to take you Bring them together."

It looks like I'm still covered in cold fragrance!I sneered twice in my heart, and turned my face away.After a while, he looked sideways at him again, "Then where are you taking us?"

He put his finger on his lips mysteriously, "You will know when you arrive." After speaking, he turned and walked out.The voices of people outside the car were carried by the wind.

"Master Chen, is it really that girl the Lord is looking for?"

The man in black said without hesitation: "The shopkeeper in black saw her enter the master's mansion with his own eyes, so he can't be wrong. Besides, only the girl's appearance is the only thing that makes the master dream about, even if I still want to look for it at this time."

"Haha, Master Chen said the same thing. I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life..." Before he finished speaking, he was replaced by a cry of pain.

"Don't you look at who you are, you can think of such a thing!" the man in black reprimanded.

"Yes! Yes! Master Chen said yes." The man immediately apologized.

"It's just such a big trouble, I don't know if the Lord will blame it." The man whispered, with some worry in his voice.

I don't know how long it took before Leng Xiang woke up slowly.Suddenly seeing us in a strange place, I was shocked.But anyway, with someone I know by her side, things calmed down after a while.

I forced her to think about whether she knew such a person, but her head hurt from thinking about it, and she still had no idea.

"I grew up in Luoyang since I was a child, and I know very few people. I really can't remember where such a person came from?" She was very innocent, with tears in her starry eyes.My heart softened, and I couldn't ask any more questions.

Now I don't know how far we have left Mocheng, but thinking about Zi Ling, she should tell Cheng Yu, and he will definitely come to rescue us.Thinking about it this way, I felt a lot easier.

Seeing how weak she is, how did she chase after Mocheng in the first place?

With a thought, I pretended to be idle and chatted with her. "Miss Lengxiang, how did you and Shizi know each other?"

"Ah?!" She was shocked, and her face turned red in the next second.After a moment of recollection, he said shyly: "I entered the palace at the age of seven and became a maid of Xiaoyue Palace, serving the second prince. I don't know why, but Princess Linlang doesn't like me very much."

I sighed, with this appearance, how many women can like you?

"I've known Cheng Yu from a long time ago." She seemed to be lost in memory, no longer purely to answer my question. "One time Princess Linlang lost her temper when she returned to Xiaoyue Palace, and she threw a lot of things. Concubine De only has one daughter, and she has always been very fond of her. That day, she hurriedly hugged her in her arms and asked who it was. It made her angry. The princess was half-ashamed and half-annoyed, hesitated for a long time, or walked away. Concubine De hurriedly called her servants to ask, but said that she met Prince Yi's son in the garden in the morning, and the two were a little unhappy. The empress did not count So I didn't ask Prince Yi for an explanation. It's just that from then on, Princess Linlang always inquired about Cheng Yu's news."

She sighed slightly, "At that time, I just wondered what kind of person could make the princess worry so much. Until one day, I hurried away with the soup for the empress, but accidentally ran into a young man. I raised my head, I saw his picturesque features, he is really the prettiest person I have ever seen when I grow up." Speaking of this, she looked at me with some envy, "Qing'er, you are so lucky, you can be with me since you were a child. Yu's side."

But I was self-aware, just pretending to be "I know" and smiling, waiting for her to continue.

"Later, Princess Linlang found out about my meeting with Cheng Yu and lost her temper. While the Second Prince was away, she ordered someone to take me to the imperial garden, saying that she wanted me to serve tea. She may be I was so angry that I took a sip and said it was too hot. I took the teapot and threw it on my head. I was startled and quickly closed my eyes. But nothing fell on me. I only heard the exclamation of everyone. When I opened my eyes, Cheng Yu's face was covered in blood. But she was still looking at me, as if telling me not to worry." She smiled slightly, and I just felt very sore in my heart.

Thinking back to the palace that day, seeing him with blood all over his head, he was frightened to death, and then cried to death, and suddenly felt that he was a little stupid at that time, and he didn't know who he was doing these things for.

Leng Xiangquan was immersed in her own world. "He said to the princess, 'I have nothing to do with you. It's just that I owe you after all these years. Today, it's clear. If you can't see your identity clearly in the future, you can find someone else. Please, don’t blame me for being rude.’”

"Earlier, when the princess saw that he was the one who hit him, she was already in tears. After hearing what he said, she was completely stunned. Afterwards, I was sent by the concubine De to sweep the imperial garden, and everything was fine. For a while."

Leng Xiang's smile was a bit annoying, I didn't want to pay attention to it, so I interrupted: "Then why did you appear in Happy City..." As soon as the words came out, I stopped immediately.He secretly scolded himself for being unrestrained, and his eyes were fixed on her expression.

She was also taken aback, and said: "How do you know?" She arrived at the main mansion before me, so she would naturally be surprised.

I thought about it, and deliberately misled her: "Cheng Yu never hides anything from me."

Suddenly he felt that he was a bad person, and seeing Leng Xiang's complexion darken in an instant, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Leng Xiang said calmly: "After Cheng Yu went out to battle, I...I wanted to see him very much, so I ran out of the palace." She suddenly raised her face to look at me, with a star in her eyes, as if suddenly she no longer accepted me. The impact of those words seemed to know what he wanted in an instant. "I met two men on the outskirts of Luoyang. They said they could pick me up when they were going to Mocheng. I saw a girl in the car, so I didn't think much about it. Who knew they were from Guizhifang."

I nodded, and she continued to smile and said, "Cheng Yu knows that I came to him and suffered a lot along the way. He has pity in his heart, so I'm content."

My expression remained unchanged, and I echoed, "That's natural."

This must be the difference between people, and I have been running all the way, but who cares?It seems that I am an omnipotent person, and I will not be hurt in the slightest.

Suddenly, I felt a little lack of interest, so I said: "I'm a little tired again, why don't I take a good rest first, and then I can figure out a solution." Without waiting for her to respond, he turned his body sideways and leaned against the wooden board Close your eyes and go to sleep.

The sound of the rolling wheels came to the ears so clearly that the eardrums ached.

Every day, the man in black would bring food in, treat Leng Xiang respectfully, and treat me plainly.After walking for a few days, I finally arrived at the place.

The man in black came in with a cloth towel and blindfolded both of us, and then called a maid to help get off the carriage and put on a sedan chair.After walking for a long time, I got out of the sedan chair and walked again.

When we took off the cloth towel, we could only see that the place we were in was a courtyard.The carved beams and painted columns are very beautiful.But the man said to Leng Xiang: "First offend the girl."

Leng Xiang shook her head, watching the ladies in palace costumes surround her.

After the man surnamed Chen left, the maidservants prepared snacks and bath water for me and Leng Xiang to take a bath.Then took us to a room.The room is divided into an outer room and an inner room. I was abandoned in the outer room, and Leng Xiang was naturally surrounded into the inner room.

A little maid with braided hair came to talk to me when she saw that I was lonely.Her name is Liuxia, she is slightly younger than me, so she sweetly calls me sister.

"What the hell is this place?" I couldn't help asking her.Their clothes looked like palace clothes, but they definitely didn't belong to Daye.

She was stunned for a moment, confused: "Didn't Lord Chen tell my sister?"

Seeing me shaking her head, she said: "Since Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, then Liu Xia can't talk too much. My sister will naturally know in the future."

I also didn't want her to be punished, so I didn't ask any more questions, and the two talked about safety topics such as embroidery and female workers.Not long after, a man with the appearance of a eunuch ran in and screamed into the room: "The emperor is here!"

I was stunned. Could it be that we came to Qingze or Muyun?

Liuxia sat with me on the wooden bed prepared for the maidservants on night duty, talking, but didn't move.Anyway, you can't see it from the outside.

Curious for a while, I pushed open the window and squinted out, only to see a yellow dress swaying in front of my eyes, as fast as a gust of wind.The man in black followed and walked quickly into the room.

Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that this cold fragrance is really provoking love.Thinking about it, I'm more suitable for Cheng Yu, at least I won't cause so many troubles and drag others for no reason.

Just as he was thinking, a stern voice came.

"This is what you do?!" The man's voice sounded extremely angry, but I felt it was familiar.

"It's my fault! It's my fault! Please forgive me!" The man in black said in panic.

With a sneer, "Chen Xidong, it seems that I trust you too much. You can't even handle such a trivial matter. You might as well resign and go back." The small call rang.

I was surprised, could it be that the wrong person was arrested?Is that to let us go or just solve it on the spot? !

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly turned to the window to beg a few words of love, and saw the man in yellow robe walk away in a huff.The back looks more and more familiar.I don't know what came to my mind, and I shouted without even going through my brain: "Yang Ziyu!"

The yellow robe stopped immediately, and in the next second, he turned his head suddenly and looked in my direction.

A face with clear eyebrows and clear outlines.Surprised and doubted, it was not until I saw me that I suddenly became ecstatic.

The man in black was stunned, unable to speak, and also stared at me blankly.

While I was still in shock, Liu Xia suddenly covered my mouth with her hand, pulled me off the wooden bed and knelt on the floor.The wall covered Yang Ziyu's face, and I couldn't move.

Liu Xia panicked and said, "Why do you call the Holy Master by his name?! I'm dead now! I'm dead!" She only cared about her panic and forgot to cover my mouth and nose.I struggled to break her hand away, but she was very strong, and at this moment, I used so much strength that I couldn't shake it a little bit.

Feeling the dull pain between his chest and throat, his eyes were slowly shrouded in darkness.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, followed by the man shouting angrily, "What are you doing?!"

The pressure on my mouth and nose disappeared in the next second, and I took a big breath to let fresh air into my lungs.The back is covered with palms and patted gently so that I can breathe better.

"Is it difficult?" The male voice is gentle, clear like jade hitting each other, making those who hear it feel relieved.

After the dizziness gradually disappeared, I had the strength to squeeze out a smile and looked towards the source of the sound. "Thank you." Before I finished speaking, Yang Ziyu's face appeared in front of me.

His eyes were full of worry and joy, and the two emotions were intertwined, which made me feel guilty for no reason.His appearance has not changed from before, but it gives me a completely different feeling.
