MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 219
"Auntie?"
Rong Xin was still squatting on the ground, she knew it was the prince when she heard the sound, she didn't panic, she sorted out the hem that had just been wet by Tang Wan, stood up with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "His Royal Highness , you came back from the emperor?"
The prince nodded and asked her, "Aunt, what happened here?"
She emphasized "accidentally" again, clearly minding it.
The prince didn't care about that woman, and when he approached Rong Xin, he asked casually, "Where is the guard taking people?"
Let's talk."
Rong Xin briefly explained, then changed the subject and asked, "What is your Highness holding?"
The prince raised the scroll in his hand, glanced down, and said calmly: "This is the portrait of E-niang, I begged like Emperor Ama."
The scroll is rolled up, and the paper cannot be seen torn.
Rong Xin looked over, didn't think much about it, just smiled: "Does the emperor's southern tour also carry a portrait of the empress?"
Kangxi always brought a portrait of Nemin when he went on tour. This has been the case for many years. With Tang Wan choked in her heart, she couldn't say such words.
The prince pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Aunt, let's go back first."
Rong Xin naturally obeyed, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a few girls standing not far away, with a bit of... admiration in her eyes?
Obviously saw...
Rong Xin didn't know how much the prince saw just now, but if the prince didn't get to the bottom of it, she could pretend that nothing happened.
At this moment, Rong Xin faced a few grids, coughed lightly, and said, "Why are the grids here?"
Dongzhu silently stood beside Rong Xin and held her hand, meaning to go with her.
Rong Xin didn't mean to blame a few people, so he talked to them with a smile, and it didn't take long for the little girls to return to normal and relax in front of her.
Wan Qi completely forgot the shock just now and kept talking.
The prince's expression was slightly relieved. He usually faced courtiers, gentle but with his own majesty, but very kind to the younger generation. The younger generation has never been very afraid of him, so he is not cautious.
At this time, the innocent and lovely Grids taught the prince's gloomy mood to turn around.
Rong Xin saw from the corner of his eyes that the prince's brows were no longer knitted together unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Later, the prince went back to his yard first, while Rong Xin took a few grids to the eldest brother's yard and patiently asked them about their homework, making sure that they did not I was slack when I was out on tour, and then I left.
Rong Xin was going to see the person who was detained by her, so she said to Qian Hang, "Take Gege back first."
"Yes." When she stretched out her hand to hold Dongzhu, Dongzhu avoided it, "Gege?"
Dongzhu hugged Rong Xin's arm tightly, buried her head behind Rong Xin's back, and said nothing.
Rong Xin and Qian Huang looked at each other, but in the end they didn't force it, but said, "Since Gege wants to go together, let's go together."
Qianhang then did not go back, and went with them to a small yard behind the prince's yard. This yard was connected to the prince's yard but couldn't connect, so it was only regarded as a temporary place to put their things. warehouse.
Rong Xin buckled Tang Wan here. When they arrived, Tang Wan had changed into dry clothes and put her hands around her knees. When she saw Rong Xin, she shivered all over.
"Yes."
The palace attendant withdrew, along with Qianhang, they came back again in less than a cup of tea, all with things in their hands.
Rong Xin and Dongzhu sat down, two tall guards carried a table in front of them, a palace servant placed snacks in front of Dongzhu, and Qianhang ordered someone to move a large The box was placed on Rong Xin's side.
Tang Wan clasped her legs more and more, and brought her back close to the wall, as if she could stay away from Rong Xin and fear.
Qianhang personally opened the wooden box, and then asked for instructions: "Lady, what do you want to use?"
Seeing the box full of strange things, Rong Xin couldn't help twitching her mouth, pretending to be stern and asking: "When the Empress was alive, wasn't it forbidden to use lynching in the palace? Why? And these torture instruments?"
Shallow bowed and respectfully said: "You know, there are many ways to punish people in the palace, those hidden and sinister methods are repeatedly banned, you have always been the most respectful, but if you want to ask questions, or these Objects work."
In the wooden box, there are rulers for palms and mouths, nail boards for kneeling, thorns for canes, and jigs for fingers...
Rong Xin fixed his eyes on a rolled up cloth and asked, "What is this?"
Qianhang immediately bent over and took it out, untied the cloth belt tied in the middle, and spread it out. It was amazing to see rows of needles of different lengths and thicknesses inserted on the cloth, which looked like a doctor's acupuncture bag.
Rong Xin: "…"
However, when Tang Wan was in the garden, Rong Xin almost broke down. When she saw that box of things, she naturally thought it was for her. Going down, as if suffering from madness, he suddenly waved his hands and shouted furiously: "Go away! Don't come here! Go away!"
Rong Xin just raised his hand, his fingertip was more than two feet away from the nearest long needle, "…"
She was just curious, and didn't plan to use this thing to do anything to Tang Wan.
But seeing Tang Wan like this, Rong Xin simply picked up a long needle, looked at it carefully and said softly, "This is the first time I have seen such a big embroidery needle. What can I sew?"
An expressionless face, she answered solemnly: "Back to the lady, if some people are too noisy, you can sew your lips."
"Really?" Rong Xin held the needle in front of his eyes, the long silver needle shone with a cold light, "I'm afraid there will be holes left? It's really interesting."
"Ah—" Tang Wan screamed, covering her ears with both hands and her mouth again, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Rong Xin got up, slowly approached her with the needle in her hand, and said gently, "Tell me first, who taught you to imitate her? Since when?"
"Don't, don't..." Tang Wan turned to avoid Rong Xin, shaking her head frantically, "Don't come here..."
Rong Xin squatted one step away from her and said softly, "Master Tang Fang is so fearless, isn't it because he knows the specialness of this face?"
Tang Wan covered her ears, not wanting to listen to her, but unfortunately Rong Xin's voice, no matter how soft, still completely entered her ears.
"Master Tang Fang is right, this face does have preferential treatment, and I definitely can't bear to let you die." Still softly said, "So, should I answer my question obediently?"
"I said, I said." Tang Wan cried without image, and it was almost impossible to tell whether it was tears or snot on her face.
Rong Xin took out the handkerchief, wiped it gently for her, and asked lightly, "Do you need me to ask you one by one?"
Tang Wan shook her head quickly and choked: "Three years ago, a guest, he told me, I can fly, soar high, just do what he says."
Rong Xin withdrew his hand and instructed: "Call the painter over." Then he asked Tang Wan, "What is this person's name? What does he do for a living? Tell me in detail."
"I, I don't know." Tang Wan just finished saying this when she suddenly shouted "Ah", and a needle was inserted into the outside of her thigh.
Although Rong Xin has already killed people, she still has not passed the level of personal torture to extract a confession, so the needle in her hand just touched Tang Wan lightly, maybe There was no bleeding point, and Tang Wan's fear magnified the pain.
"I only heard that others call him Fifth Master Zheng. It is said that he is a businessman who has come and gone without a trace. Everything I know is taught by him." Tang Wan was deeply terrified. Xin didn't believe it, so he eagerly assured, "There is absolutely nothing false in what I said, or I'll be killed by five thunders!"
"Lady, the painter is here."
Rong Xin heard the words, stood up, and said, "Call someone in."
After the palace attendant responded, a middle-aged painter came in and only said hello to Rong Xin, then quietly set up the easel and waited patiently with a pen.
Rong Xin took out a short needle and clipped it to her fingertips, and shook it at Tang Wan. Seeing her whole body was agitated, she quickly opened her mouth to describe the physical appearance of the "Five Master Zheng". That's down.
At this time, there was another report outside the door: "Female officer, Director Liang is in the front yard, saying that it was the emperor's order, please let the master of Tangfang go."
Tang Wan looked out the door as if she had seen a savior, her eyes lit up.
Rong Xin said in a flat voice: "Continue painting, after I saw Director Liang come back, if the painter has not painted this person's facial features, I am afraid that the owner of Tang Fang will not be able to see each other with all their tails. Your Majesty..."
The meaning of threat was approaching Tang Wan, Tang Wan didn't dare to delay, she quickly racked her brains and tried her best to describe it.
Rong Xin was a little satisfied, and asked Qianhang to watch it here, and then took Dongzhu back to the front yard. .
