Concubine's true colors

Chapter 51
In Madam Song's eyes, there was a flash of struggle. It was true that she wanted revenge, and she was going crazy thinking about it.

She will never forget that after the Song Mansion banquet was over that day, she couldn't find Song Aijia anywhere, and finally when the servants cleaned the side room, she found her beloved daughter lying in a pool of blood.

Mrs. Song was about to go crazy at that moment, and she hurried to find a doctor, but the results of the diagnosis and treatment made her even more desperate.

Song Aijia's head was severely damaged, and the treatment was not timely. She might not wake up in this life and would be spread out on the bed.

Mrs. Song knew very well that all this was caused by her daughter's failure to satisfy Qian Yingluo.

She found her husband, but Song Peng was unwilling to offend Qian Yingluo even if she was an only daughter for the sake of official position and wealth.

She also went to find the sixth prince, but the other party gave her gold and silver and a few words of comfort, but did not reprimand Qian Yingluo.

From then on, Mrs. Song knew that no one could give her justice for her daughter's revenge. Since Qian Yingluo ruined her beloved daughter, she could not avenge her, and she would never let her be happy.

So that day she overheard that Ji Lingfeng and the others were going to assassinate Yu Wang, so she passed the news on, in order to make the sixth prince and others depressed, angry, and satisfy her desire for revenge.

But now, Xiao Jinxuan told her that the other party could avenge her, and it would be a lie if she said she was not moved, but Mrs. Song was still hesitant.

She was worried that if she did this, once the incident happened, she would not care if she lived or died. Who would take care of her daughter in the future, her cold-blooded father could not be counted on at all.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally had a full view of the other party's expression. She once read such a passage in a book, if you want to make people work for you, you must take out an equal amount of chips.

Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyebrows. It seems that her bargaining chip can't satisfy the other party, so it's time to use her last bargaining chip.

"Mrs. Song, as long as you are willing to help me, I can hand over Qian Yingluo's life and death to you and handle it as you like. Do you think you are satisfied with this?"

Mrs. Song stood up abruptly, grabbed her hand, and said with ecstasy, "You really mean what you say? If you can tell me to kill Qian Yingluo with my own hands, it means taking my life, and I will give it to you too."

Her daughter is in her young age, she is admired by many sons and daughters, and she is famous in Yangzhou with her first-handed guqin.

But it was because of Qian Yingluo that everything was ruined, so if she could kill the other party, she would do anything. Her daughter was a big deal, and she had made arrangements in advance to keep her safe for the rest of her life. Mrs. Song was confident that she could still do it.

Xiao Jinxuan shook her head, and said in a low voice: "What do I want Mrs. Song's life to do, don't worry, what I ask you to do is very simple."

After finishing speaking, she leaned forward, approached Mrs. Song, and whispered softly in her ear.

Following her words, Mrs. Song's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally she was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Okay, Miss Fourth, I'll listen to you, and I'll follow the plan when I get back."

Xiao Jinxuan stood up, and said with a slight blessing: "Then it all depends on Madam, Jinxuan is waiting for your good news."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the lights and festoons were brightly lit, and it was very lively, but the Song Mansion was very depressed. Qian Yingluo was imprisoned, the six princes were punished for their mistakes, Yangzhou officialdom, and Prince Rui frequently took action. Bad luck, let alone the New Year, my life will be involved.

Early this morning, the sixth prince drank a lot of wine in the room, because Zhou Xianrui called all the officials together to review the prison sentences of the past three years, to see if there were any unjust, false or wrong cases, and the incidents of torture .

During this period of time, he, the fifth elder brother, has changed his tactics and dismissed many officials. I don't know who is going to take the knife again now.

So after Song Peng was summoned to leave this morning, the sixth prince was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only drink away his worries and pass the time here.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door, but he didn't want anyone to come, but it was Ji Lingfeng who had been lying on the bed for more than half a month under the [-]th imperial staff.

"Master Ji, why don't you recuperate your wounds, you came here from me, the wounds are getting better, if you don't heal soon, we will be taken over by Fifth Brother."

Ji Lingfeng struggled to move, endured the pain and moved closer to the room, seeing the sixth prince's decadent appearance, he felt very annoyed.

"Your Highness Sixth, if you have time to drink away your sorrows here, you might as well think about how to deal with Prince Rui, not to mention that he made you reflect, it should be okay after so long, why are you still trapped in the mansion? Go out and deal with him."

The sixth prince snorted when he heard the words, and dropped the wine glass in his hand on the table in frustration.

"Ji Lingfeng, look at what happened to my cousin Yingluo. Fortunately, she was the one who came forward this time. If it were me, I would be the prince locked in the cell now. It was all your bad idea. My cousin is now dead. You still want this prince to stumble, don't you, I'll tell you don't even think about it!"

He was getting bored to death now, Qian Yingluo was the concubine's daughter of the Hou's mansion, the treasure of his uncle Huai'anhou, this time he came to Yangzhou with him, but now he was locked in a prison, he didn't know how to explain it when he went back.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, so he wanted to rescue Qian Yingluo quickly. As for confronting Zhou Xianrui head-on, after these few contests, he was frightened. He would rather continue to think about his past in the Song Mansion than Went out in muddy water.

Afterwards, if the second prince blames him, he can push Ji Lingfeng to take the blame. The second brother thinks highly of him, and the other party will be humiliated again and again. If he is not Prince Rui's opponent, then it is understandable that he did not do anything.

Ji Lingfeng looked at the sixth prince, who looked so useless, and knew what the other party was planning.

Just when the eyes of the two of them met, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, Mrs. Song rushed in from the door in a hurry.

"Your Highness, something is wrong. I went to the temple fair just now and met the wife of the prison envoy. When chatting with her, she told me that Yuanning County was tortured in the cell on Sundays. Now she is covered with bruises and her life is about to die. "

Now the sixth prince really couldn't sit still, he didn't even know that Qian Yingluo was in prison, how he explained to Huai'an Hou Mansion after returning to Beijing, and now he is still tortured, this is his life.

On the other hand, Ji Lingfeng frowned upon hearing this, and squinted at Mrs. Song for a long time.

"Ma'am, we didn't check any rumors about these things. How come the madam of the Prisoner would tell you these things. Don't you think it doesn't make sense?"

Mrs. Song's expression was stunned, and she immediately said: "That lady and I have been friends for many years, not to mention according to what she said, this matter was carried out in secret under the order of Prince Rui, so outsiders would naturally not know about it, she also listened to his husband talking in his sleep, Only then did I know, what Young Master Ji said, do you think that my wife can't deceive you, then tell me why I would tell such a lie. "

Then, Mrs. Song showed annoyed expression, waved her sleeves and said, "I wanted to tell His Highness the Sixth Highness well, but I didn't want to be suspected by others. Myself, I think some people are so suspicious that they can't tell the difference between good and bad, and since they don't believe it, just pretend that my wife hasn't been here before, and I'll leave now."

Hearing this, the sixth prince hurried forward to stop Mrs. Song with a smile, and with a straight face, said to Ji Lingfeng: "Mr. Ji, I think you can't help much since you came to Yangzhou. You should go back to recuperate. Don't stay here." Added confusion to this prince."

Ji Lingfeng's hands were tightly clenched into fists because of anger. This Mrs. Song is usually cold, but she is suddenly so enthusiastic today, which is really suspicious, but the sixth prince is as stupid as a pig, and even drove him away. There is no cure. save.

"Since Your Highness thinks that Ji is an eyesore, I will go back to my room to recuperate, and I will not take care of your business anymore."

After finishing speaking, he snorted, turned around and left, the sixth prince is just a mediocre person, why would he stop him if the other party wanted to die, if Yangzhou didn't have the sixth prince, he would not be under the control of others, he could flex his muscles as much as he wanted.

Chasing the annoying Ji Lingfeng away, the sixth prince hurriedly asked Mrs. Song to sit down.

"Ma'am, don't pay attention to that guy. I blame my second brother for treating him as a treasure. He is used to lawlessness. Your Highness knows your kindness. Please calm down. Why bother to get angry because of a slave."

The coldness on Mrs. Song's face melted away, and she sighed and said: "What Your Highness said is that it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances, you should think about how to save the county lord."

Hearing this, the sixth prince nodded and said: "That's right, what Madam said is reasonable, but now that Fifth Brother punishes me to reflect on my mistakes, it's really inconvenient for me to intervene. If Mr. Song comes back, I'll trouble him to make a trip."

Mrs. Song said disapprovingly: "Now the county lord is seriously injured and his life or death is uncertain. If my master comes back, it's uncertain when. How about I go there myself? I don't know if His Highness can rest assured of me."

Hearing this, the sixth prince of course readily agreed, and of course he would not be at ease if it was someone else, but just like Mrs. Song said just now, Song Peng and him are in the same spirit, and he is good at Song Peng. Mrs. Song and him are on the same boat Man, he couldn't be more relieved.

Seeing the sixth prince, she agreed without any hesitation. Mrs. Song's eyes flashed sternly, but she said: "But although I am Fu Yin's wife, the county master was detained by Prince Rui, how can I get in here? .”

The sixth prince thought for a moment when he heard the words, and immediately reached out, took a jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Mrs. Song.

"This is the Panlong Jade Pendant given to the princes by the father and the emperor. Madam holds this, as long as they don't meet Prince Rui, those guards will definitely not dare to make things difficult for Madam."

Mrs. Song nodded, took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, got up and said: "It's not too late, then I'll go to the prison to visit the county lord."

The sixth prince was anxious, wishing that Mrs. Song would go immediately and politely send him out of the room.

But when he turned back to his room, Mrs. Song held the jade pendant tightly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

The dungeon has been dark and humid for a long time, and now it's winter again, and the chill inside is even heavier. Just standing at the old door, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help shivering.

Standing beside her, Chi Ling, who was sent by Zhou Xianrui to accompany her, couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw the other party's weak appearance.

"It's just an ordinary dungeon. Miss Xiao is so unbearable. If I take you for a walk around the death cell, Miss Fourth will probably faint from fright."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Chi Ling, and said in a calm voice: "Miss Chi Ling is very right, I naturally know that going to and from prison is normal for you, as a shadow guard, if you are like me, even the cold I can't stand the anger, so it's going to be a joke, are you right?"

"you……"

Chi Ling heard the words and was about to step forward to argue, but was caught by Chi Ying beside him.

Both of them could hear that Xiao Jinxuan's words clearly seemed to be praising Chi Ling's courage and insight, which was a hundred times stronger than herself.

But after careful reading, the words of this fourth lady are really sarcastic. As a shadow guard, she is free to come and go among thousands of enemy troops, and she will not show the slightest fear.

Just entering a big prison, but being praised by the other party like this, isn't it insinuating that Chi Ling is incompetent, with all his abilities, he is only worthy of doing such trivial things.

Thinking of this, the red shadow under the mask couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinxuan more, and sighed inwardly, no wonder the master valued her so much, could he take the evil spirit of Chi Ling in his eyes, talk and laugh freely, this fourth lady is really different.
