first class maid

Chapter 38
Xie Sizhi didn't doubt that he was there, so he stepped closer to hear it clearly, but the person outside the cell was suddenly overwhelmed by lightning, and the white silk wrapped around Xie Sizhi's neck tightened instantly through the wooden pillar.

Xie Sizhi's eyes widened at this time, he grabbed the white silk around his neck with both hands, kicked his feet on the ground, and struggled desperately. Concubine Feng Gui wanted to kill her, but the more she struggled, the tighter the white silk rolled up. Slowly and desperately grabbing the man's arm with his hands, there were bloodstains on the man's white onion arm...

After dinner, Xun Zhen was summoned by Xu You.

Xu You looked at the lingering embarrassment on her face, reached out and raised her chin, and said angrily, "Girl, what's going on with you?"

The people who had good friends with Xun Zhen asked her the same thing again today, and now Xu You asked the same thing again, so she had to lie again and again, and then said with a smile: "What business is Mr. Shanggong looking for your subordinates?"

"I just want to ask what the prince said to you?" Xu You released her hand and said casually. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to think of something, and looked at Xun Zhen's lips suspiciously for a while, "Xun Zhen, did the prince do it?" What an excessive thing..."

Xun Zhen's expression became tense, and he waved his hands quickly, "No, it's nothing, he just asked me to go over and order him to make a purse for him. How can I, a little court lady, be in the eyes of the prince." When she said this, she secretly I curled my lips.

Xu You was just guessing randomly, "That child doesn't seem to have such a hobby..." He muttered, seeing that Xun Zhen's eyes were different, and to cover up his gaffe, he coughed, "Then show it to me after you embroider it." Take a look."

Xun Zhen was just talking nonsense. Seeing Xu You's serious expression, he said unwillingly, "Yes, this subordinate knows." He had already cursed Yu Wenhong no less than a hundred times in his heart. Choked to death.

But Yu Wenhong, who was far away in the East Palace, was choking on the tea at this time, coughing non-stop, and Sun Datong, who was on the side, patted him on the back in shock, "Your Highness, what's the matter? Quick, go Invite the doctor."

Yu Wenhong quickly waved his hands, "No... use... cough..."

Both Yan Han and Gao Yushi stood up anxiously, "Your Highness..."

Yu Wenhong took two sips of the clear water handed by Sun Datong, and then recovered, the redness on his face gradually receded, who is cursing him behind his back?Suddenly Xun Zhen's face appeared in his mind, and his complexion suddenly sank, "It's okay, don't worry, it's getting dark, Sun Datong, send Taifu and Gao Yushi out of the palace."

Gao Yushi saw that the crown prince returned to normal, and he rarely smiled on his serious old face, "Then I will retire first, and I haven't thanked Your Highness for helping that unworthy son of the minister, and the nine generations of the minister have such a single successor." Son, His Highness's great benefactor will definitely remember it in his heart, and let His Highness order him." After several contacts, it seems that standing in the prince's camp can't go wrong.

Yu Wenhong humbly stepped forward to help Gao Yushi, and said with a smile: "Gao Yushi, Gu Na is just a little effort, Gao Shilang is young and talented, and both father and Gu appreciate it very much." Gently patted the veteran's cheek Hand, these years, secretly cultivating one's own power is also indispensable. The father and emperor are in their prime, and Concubine Shu is going to have another prince. If the throne is not seated for a day, one should not take it lightly.

Gao Yushi's old face was full of gratitude, how could he, as a father, not know about his son's absurdity?It's just persuasion and persuasion, scolding and scolding, he just fell headlong on that girl of Xun's family, and now he almost caused a catastrophe. Looking up, the warm and generous prince is indeed a man to be made.

Yan Han stroked the beard on his chin in relief, it was not easy to train a prince who was once naughty and playful into a mature and steady look today, but fortunately the prince has always been up-to-date.

At this time, Xun Zhen looked at the smile on Xu You's face with wide eyes, and carefully asked for confirmation, "Master Shanggong, promote me to be the master?"

"That's right, it's you. It's just that it's an extraordinary period, and we won't announce it until after this period of time." Xu You said with certainty.

"What about Sister Wen?" Xun Zhen anxiously held Xu You's hand, not to harm Sister Wen.

Xu You looked at her with an eagerness that was not feigned, and the smile on her face was even stronger, "Why? Are you so worried about your sister Wen? Don't worry, I have other arrangements for her. The person who will be rectified this time There are many people who are not suitable to stay, and I will not let her stay." At this time, the smile on her face disappeared, showing a fierce look.

Suddenly someone rushed in from outside, and a court lady dressed as a female historian came in and said, "Master Shanggong, Situ Shanggong just sent someone to communicate, saying that Xie Sizhi hanged himself in prison."

"What?" Both Xu You and Xun Zhen shouted.

When Xu You and Xun Zhen arrived at the Shanggong Bureau, they saw the guards carrying Xie Sizhi's body out on a straw mat, while Situ Shanggong was standing in the middle of the cell looking at the paper in his hand.

Xu You hurriedly asked, "How could she have hanged herself so well? You tortured her to extract a confession?"

"I haven't interrogated her much yet. Your Majesty wanted to get some words out of her mouth this time. How could she have thought that she would hang herself? This is the confession she left behind." Situ Shanggong handed the paper to Xu You, "Take it back and compare it with her old handwriting to see if it's her own handwriting?"

"This is her handwriting." Xu You and Xie Sizhi have worked together for many years, how could they not recognize her handwriting? "She took all the crimes by herself? Has the autopsy been done?"

Situ Shanggong nodded lightly. "It's been tested, and the death is in line with her death method. She confessed to some minor crimes, such as the matter under Xun's control around you this time." Added a sentence, seemingly unwilling.

The several senior court ladies who came afterward were all shocked, they hadn't committed suicide by hanging for many years.

"This Xie Sizhi has already been punished, Situ Shanggong, Xu Shanggong, I think we can stop here." Wang Yingshangyi said calmly.

Li Meier Shangshi also agreed: "Don't pursue the matter after death."

Several other high-ranking maids also nodded.

Xun Zhen shuddered all over, did Xie Sizhi have such a great sentiment to take it all by himself?Thinking of how she was in the past, she always felt that this matter was weird, but now that she was carried out and thrown away, and she was a court lady, who else would have thought about it, and sure enough, even Xu Shanggong nodded in agreement.
