Chapter 37

However, on the second day after Jin Rong promised that the virtuous person would return to the Shen Xing Department for investigation, San Quanzi's body was carried out from the Shen Xing Department.Jin Rong was also demoted overnight to Ye Ting Bureau as a third-class clothes slave.No one knows what happened the night after she returned to Shenxing Division.

The results of Sanquanzi's interrogation were immediately submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When the messenger from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Shuiyun Palace to announce the results to the sage, the sage closed his eyes and accepted the certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs calmly on the surface.

After the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, the virtuous man handed over the certificate to Tong Wanrou to read, and what was written on it was nothing more than words of torture, saying that pretending to be a ghost to scare people was purely his own wish, so Tong Wanrou was so angry that he threw the certificate in the on the ground.

The virtuous man has a calm and calm appearance.

"Someone finally couldn't help but want to kill and silence." The virtuous man came to the window and said, looking at the orchid.

Tong Wanrou sighed, and said, "It's a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught, so let him get away with it like this, I really don't want to be reconciled."

The virtuous man stared at Tong Wanrou for a while as if he was a different person, and then said:

"You're right, I can no longer hide here, and for the sake of the child in my belly, I can no longer hide in the middle of this lake and let others slaughter me."

Tong Wanrou asked puzzledly: "The nobleman wants to..."

The virtuous man let go of his hand stroking his abdomen, his eyes were firmer than ever before:
"Back to Yonghe Palace."

The Shuiyun Palace was originally a palace rewarded by the emperor to the sages. The original intention was that the sages would think the palace was noisy, and it was not to isolate her. Therefore, when the sages said to the emperor that the Shuiyun Palace was too deserted When Yonghe Palace lived with Concubine Rou, the emperor did not express too many doubts, and called Li Dequan to pass the decree that night.

The news that the virtuous man moved back from Shuiyun Palace to Yonghe Palace spread throughout the whole palace early the next morning.

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to take care of the nobleman. Tong Wanrou has been staying in the Shuiyun Palace since she entered the palace. It is justifiable to go back to the Yonghe Palace with the nobleman.

It's just that she was the aunt in charge in Shuiyun Palace, but when she returned to Yonghe Palace, she was only a female official in charge, specializing in personal affairs of virtuous people, and the aunt in charge of Yonghe Palace was an old nun in the palace of Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou is the eldest daughter of the commander of the Eight Banners Guards. She entered Prince Bao's Mansion at about the same time as the virtuous person. She became a concubine, but Fucha Minglan is a concubine, without the protection of her family, under the pedantic rules of the Ministry of Rites, she can only be a nobleman.

Because Concubine Rou's status is higher than that of virtuous and noble people, the first thing for noble people to do when they return to Yonghe Palace is not to rest, but to go to the main hall in full dress to meet the lord of the first palace, Concubine Rou.

Tong Wanrou also went together. During the meeting, Tong Wanrou only felt that Concubine Rou's temper was much gentler than Concubine Qi's, she always had a three-point smile when she spoke, and she was considerate to the virtuous and noble in every possible way, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable when she was pregnant. , and deliberately allowed the virtuous person to sit and talk.

After some tossing and greetings, the virtuous person was able to resign and returned to his small palace to the west.

When Tong Wanrou came, she had already looked at this small palace several times, and felt that although it was a side hall, it was more luxurious and rich than the main courtyard of ordinary houses in terms of the area occupied and the structure. Everywhere shows the sense of wealth and honor of the heavenly family.

Tong Wanrou, who was already familiar with the affairs of Shuiyun Palace, once again fell into a busy takeover period. Everything in Xiyuan is much more complicated than Shuiyun Palace. After all, Shuiyun Palace is in the hands of noble people, but The Yonghe Palace is not the case, and there are many more places to ask for instructions and cooperation than the Shuiyun Palace. Tong Wanrou is tired of dealing with it, and at the same time, she has to deal with the difficulties from her aunt in charge.

The virtuous person saw Tong Wanrou's efforts, but did not give any pointers, and let Tong Wanrou deal with things alone, from arranging daily meetings to the virtuous person's daily necessities, Tong Wanrou knew that the virtuous person is now She only trusts her and Nanny Gui, Nanny Gui is getting old, and there are many things that she can't do what she wants, Tong Wanrou feels that she is young anyway, so she can handle many things with one hand.

Thanks to her good mind, she found the pattern in the busy and chaotic.

After more than ten days like this, Li Dequan personally came over again in the afternoon to deliver the message that Lord Long Live will be resting in Xiyuan tonight and asked the virtuous people to prepare to serve him.

After cooperating with the nuns of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to dress up the nobleman and wait for the arrival of the holy car, both she and Nanny Gui felt that the emperor actually cared about the nobleman, after all, very few concubines could guarantee two or three times a month It's lucky.

Not to mention the virtuous people here, Long Live Lord can really just sit and sit, and then the two of them can read books, play chess, and then go to bed hand in hand, not as beautiful as other palaces, but Long Live Lord is still Being able to come here often is enough to make the virtuous man the envy of other women in the palace.

After sending Lord Long Live into the room, there was basically nothing to do with Tong Wanrou and the others. Nanny Gui started a stove in the small kitchen and made several kinds of food with her own hands. She invited other waiters in Xiyuan to have dinner together and asked Tong Wanrou Whether to participate or not, Tong Wanrou just shook her head, put two dishes of dried vegetables in a food box, took four or five white flour steamed buns, and went out.

When Lord Long Live was in Xiyuan, all the servants were arranged by Li Dequan, the head of the house, and basically people in the concubine's palace were rarely used. Therefore, at this time, there are servants serving in the concubine's palace. Leisure time.

Tong Wanrou was carrying a food box and walking on the dim palace wall corridor, looking at the road ahead that was getting darker and darker, Tong Wanrou's heart was beating violently, but she didn't know where a burst of courage came from, which made her continue to move forward Walk.

What she is going to now is the Huanyi Bureau, which is located in the westernmost palace, and most of the people living in it are lower-class servants.

She remembered that Aunt Jinrong was demoted to this place.No matter what, she was going to see her again.

Because it was late, all the lights around the Huanyi Bureau had been extinguished, only two dim yellow lanterns were left hanging on the door, it was cold and dilapidated.

Tong Wanrou thought that the people in the clothing bureau had dispersed, so she walked to the door and saw that the door was still open, the yard was wet, the ground was full of water stains and water basins, some water basins were empty, and some water basins were empty. It was also full of dirty laundry.

Tong Wanrou tentatively looked inside, and saw a paper-thin person standing by the well fetching water, the wheel kept turning, the bucket came up unsteadily, Jin Rong's pale face could still faintly see Scars, I saw that she easily picked up the bucket from the well, poured it into the basin not far away, then sighed, and sat down helplessly.

Seeing that there was no one else in the yard, Tong Wanrou walked in boldly. When Jin Rong heard a voice behind her, she turned her head and met Tong Wanrou's smiling face.

A look of surprise flashed across Jin Rong's face, then she quickly stood up and said to her:

"Aunt Tong, why are you here?"

Tong Wanrou smiled at Jin Rong, lifted the food box in her hand, and said cheerfully, "I came to see you for dinner."

"..."

Looking at Tong Wanrou's smiling face, Jin Rong froze there.

Tong Wanrou pulled her to the side of the well, there happened to be a few stone blocks beside the well, Tong Wanrou took out two dried vegetables, put them on the stone blocks, and waved to Jin Rong, telling her to come and eat.

Jin Rong looked around first, then wiped her wet hands on her body, and walked over slowly. From the moment the dishes were brought out, her eyes never left the food.

Tong Wanrou handed her a steamed white flour bun that was still soft, and Jin Rong started to gobble it up.Looking at her eating appearance, Tong Wanrou knew that she must be having a bad time here.

The two of them finished their dinner. Although Tong Wanrou didn't eat anything, she still felt very happy, because this woman, Jin Rong, was really good at chatting. From the secret history of the deep palace to the hatred of the country and the family, Tong Wanrou only felt that chatting with such a woman , seems to give her a feeling of being in a folk novel.

To be honest, Jin Rong's personality is very optimistic, at least she doesn't look like someone who has encountered a catastrophe in the eyes of others.

Tong Wanrou liked her easy-going attitude, so she couldn't help chatting with her more.

"Do you have a husband?" Jin Rong asked Tong Wanrou.

Tong Wanrou nodded proudly: "Yes. My husband's name is Fu Heng, and he is the younger brother of a virtuous man."

"Oh. No wonder you became an aunt as soon as you entered the palace. Your life is really good."

Jin Rong said to Tong Wanrou enviously.

But Tong Wanrou laughed heartlessly, and said, "My fate is good? My mother doesn't think so."

"..."

The two chatted about some parental issues, and it was only then that Tong Wanrou realized that Jin Rong looked thin, but actually knew martial arts, but she was suppressed by Tie Yulan and couldn't do it, and Tie Yulan's topic finally made Jin Rong talk about that Day asked Tong Wanrou to give the jade pendant to the virtuous man in advance.

"When I returned to Shenxing Division that day, the Sanquanzi had already died on the platform of the last interrogation. I ran over to sniff him, which angered Tie Yulan. She was afraid that I would know something inside, so she told me The villain first filed a complaint, and first proposed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to expel me from the Department of Punishment, so the jade pendant is now the last clue."

Only now did Tong Wanrou understand the situation that day, and she couldn't help but worry:

"But, the palace is so big, with only one jade pendant, where should I find its owner?"

Jin Rong took a deep breath, looked Tong Wanrou up and down, and said:
"You look for it? I bet you may not be able to find the real murderer even if you search for ten or eight years." Seeing Tong Wanrou's expression of dissatisfaction, Jin Rong said again:
"But if it were me, it would be different."

She compared three fingers to Tong Wanrou, and said confidently: "Three months, within three months, I will find a way to find the real culprit."
