The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

"Thank you Brother Xiao, I can finally have a good year. I'll find you next time!" A student of the Imperial College sent Xiao Liulang out of the house.

This person is Feng Lin's classmate, one grade lower than Xiao Liulang, who is near the back door, and his literary talent is not very good. But during the festivals, there are many relatives in the family, so he always asks him to say a few sentences. With the poems written by Xiao Liulang, he is not afraid that he will not be able to answer them.

Xiao Liulang wrote poems according to his standard, neither too exaggerated nor too cheap.

"Stay behind." Xiao Liulang didn't let the other party send him away, and left the house by himself.

The sky was overcast and seemed to be colder than before.

Xiao Liulang went to get on the carriage and went to the family where Gu Jiao was visiting.

The woman saw him and said to him, "The one has already left. She said to go to the opposite side to buy candied haws."

She said, pointing to the sugar water shop diagonally opposite.

This is an old-fashioned sugar water shop, opened by Jiangnan people, and the business in the capital is unexpectedly good. Xiao Liulang often came here when he was a child, but their family didn't sell candied haws at that time.

Xiao Liulang came to the shop and found that the boss had changed.

The original boss is getting old and enjoying the happiness in the backyard, but now it is his son who comes out to do business.

"boss."

Xiao Liulang greeted him, and just wanted to ask if Gu Jiao had been here before, when he heard the other person shout, "Are you looking for someone?"

Xiao Liulang was slightly stunned.

Could it be that he is looking for someone written on his face?

The boss didn't take Gu Jiao's words to heart earlier, but when he saw Xiao Liulang's first glance, he couldn't help thinking of Gu Jiao's words, "If a good-looking boy comes to me in a while, the best looking That kind, you let him wait for me here."

In the words of a sentence, this is what the readers call "the people on Moshang are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world".

It's really pretty.

It looks so good that it makes people feel that this person should only exist in the sky.

"How do you know?" Xiao Liulang asked.

The boss smiled and said Gu Jiao's original words.

best looking?

Did she say that about herself?

The corners of Xiao Liulang's lips twitched into an arc that he didn't even notice. After a while, he looked at the boss and said, "What did she say to do?"

The boss shook his head: "I didn't say that."

"How long have you been gone?" Xiao Liulang asked.

The boss thought for a while: "It's been a while, and my candied haws are almost sold out."

Xiao Liulang frowned slightly. The two had known each other for so long, and she never asked him to wait. Xiao Liulang couldn't figure out where she was going, what she was doing, and she didn't come back so late.

There was a faint unease in his heart.

He looked at the boss: "Excuse me, where did you see her going?"

The boss pointed: "It seems to be that inn."

Xiao Liulang went to the inn.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I heard two diners talking.

"Have you heard? There was an accident at Qingfeng Music Hall.

"

"Did you say that newly opened music hall? What happened?"

"It seems that the house has collapsed. Alas, it used to be a wine cellar, and there were too many holes dug in the ground, so I said it would collapse sooner or later!"

The anxiety in Xiao Liulang's heart became more and more obvious.

"Is anyone pinned inside?"

"Yes, I heard it's a woman!"

Xiao Liulang had never heard of Qingfeng Music Hall, but he understood when they said that there was a wine cellar. There used to be a wine cellar on this street, and it changed hands many times, and it was always selling wine.

Haven't seen each other for a few years, is it actually Chengleguan?

Xiao Liulang walked towards Qingfeng Music Hall.

From a long distance, he saw that the periphery of the music hall was full of people. It seemed that something had really happened, and it was a major event. Even the official messenger came.

The officials blocked the scene, and the people had to stand on tiptoe and wait.

There was chaos in the music hall, and all the guests were cleared out, leaving only the two maids of the crown princess, the official clerk of the yamen, and the owner of the music hall.

The owner of the museum knew that the person buried below belonged to the Crown Princess, but the officials did not.

After all, the Crown Princess is doing private services today, so if it is known that she has come to an inconspicuous music hall, it will inevitably lead to speculation.

If anyone sees that one again, the Crown Princess will be even more speechless.

Although the two were not originally hostile camps, nor did they have a shady relationship, the ruler is the ruler and the minister is the minister, so there should be no personal friendship.

Maid A said: "Hurry up and save people! It's too dangerous down here! I can't keep my wife buried under it!"

The official called the owner of the museum: "What is going on down here?"

The owner of the pavilion said: "The bottom was originally a wine cellar, and I turned it into a basement at the back, which is usually used for storage."

The official asked, "Is there only one basement? What's over there?"

The owner of the museum replied: "There is also a basement over there. It is very small and is used to store sundries."

The official looked at the messy and mottled scene: "Is there anyone in the small storage room?"

Maid A said impatiently, "Why are there people there?"

Has she checked?

The second maid pulled her sleeve and motioned her to say something.

She coughed lightly and said, "You guys stop dawdling, my wife is suffering under the ground, and I can't say anything, don't you hear me?"

If she can't speak, it means she can speak.

That's right, although she was buried under her head, she was not injured, and she was able to move a little.

Gu Jiao in the small storage room was in a much worse situation than her. There were two slate horns sandwiching her in the middle, and the big slate was pressed on top of the horns.

Due to the gravity of the slate, the two small slates are being squeezed to the side, and the horns are getting bigger. When it becomes a flat angle, the huge slate above will completely press on her body, squeezing her out of brains. .

One end of this huge stone slab was pressed on Gu Jiao's side, and the other end was pressed on the Crown Princess' side.

It is too difficult and time-consuming to hang all of them. The best way is to hang one end and rescue the princess.

But in this way, the small storage room over there will be completely crushed.

The official said: "If you are sure there is no one, then start hanging the slate."

"Wait!"

Xiao Liulang walked in with a cane.

The official frowned: "Who let him in?"

The guards at the gate were very helpless. They didn't pay much attention to him when they saw that he was lame. Unexpectedly, he got in by himself in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Liulang said sternly: "There are still people below."

Maid A said: "You are talking nonsense! Obviously there is no one!"

Xiao Liulang said coldly, "If you don't believe me, just listen."

The officer signaled everyone to be quiet.

He squatted down, put his ear on the ground and listened. There was really a ding ding dong dong sound, like a small stone hitting the wall, very weak.

The official hesitated.

Since there are people below, then this method is one life for another, which is too cruel.

Maid A said: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save people!"

It's getting late, and if we delay it any longer, not to mention that the Crown Princess may be injured, the palace will also be suspicious.

The official sighed: "Girl, it's not that we don't want to save people, it's that there are two people below. If you rescue them rashly, one of them may be crushed to death!"

The two maids exchanged glances.

That small storage room is so secretive, there should be no talent, if there is, it must be a spy who wants to deal with the crown princess!

This kind of person should be crushed to death!

Save yourself from ruining the reputation of the Crown Princess!

Maid A said: "Who said there must be people down there? Maybe it's a cat or a dog? If you don't believe me, ask the owner of the museum, has anyone been to that small storage room?"

The owner naturally said no.

The official is in trouble.

Judging from the regular knocking sound, it is unlikely that it is a cat or a dog. Most of it is a person, or a person in a more critical situation.

"Then do you have a better way?" Maid A asked.

Officials are more difficult.

of course not.

Maid A pinched her fingers, discussed with her companions in a low voice, and finally decided to reveal the identity of the East Palace.

She took out the token.

When the official saw the Donggong token, he was so frightened that he threw himself on the ground.

Maid A said: "To tell you the truth, the people under the pressure are from the East Palace. If you dare to let her have an accident in your hands, I promise you that the prince will let all of you be buried with her!"

Listening to this tone, the other party's status in the East Palace is not low, it may be a favorite concubine, it may be a beloved, and it may even——

The official did not dare to think about it.

One is the young master of the East Palace and the other is a commoner. It is self-evident who should be saved.

The official sent someone to prepare a rope to hang the slate on the other side of the princess.

Xiao Liulang's eyes turned cold: "What are you going to do? Don't you care about another person's life or death?"

In fact, he wasn't sure if it was Gu Jiao who was being pressed down.

What if it was?

He didn't dare to bet on that eventuality.

The official said earnestly: "Little brother, I know you have a good heart, but the people over there are... people from the Tian family. We can't afford to pay for the lives of the Tian family."

Xiao Liulang heard such words more than once, but it was only at this moment that he realized the importance of status.

Sometimes it's not that you can live peacefully without fighting or robbing yourself.

Because he wasn't standing high enough, Xiao Qingkong's words were not heard.

Because he didn't stand tall enough, Gu Jiao's life was not as important as the people in the East Palace.

Xiao Liulang clenched his fists little by little.

His eyes were red and his heart was cold.

The ropes have been set over there, ready to hang the slate.

Xiao Liulang suddenly threw away his crutches, jumped up, and slid down the gap in the slate.

The official was shocked: "What are you doing? You're crazy! It's dangerous down there! Come up to me! You all stop! Stop first!"

The yamen who were hanging the slate stopped.

Maid A was angry: "Stop what? Who told you to stop? He's going to kill himself! What do you care about him! Doesn't he know it's dangerous? They are colluding! They want to murder the prince! Do you also Get along with them!"

With such a big hat off, who can manage the life and death of two ordinary people?

Xiao Liulang looked back at Guanchai from the gap, and said a word coldly, and everyone froze.

...

On the ever-flowing streets, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage was running unhurriedly.

Inside the carriage sat the Marquis of Xuanping and Steward Liu.

It was only when Liu Guanshi met his own Marquis and got into the other party's carriage.

The Marquis of Xuan Ping said lightly, "How are things going?"

Liu Guanshi smiled guiltily.

When he left the capital, he boasted about Haikou that he would definitely bring the illegitimate son back to his home for the Chinese New Year. Now, it's New Year's Eve, but the illegitimate son doesn't even want to admit his identity.

Xuanping Hou said casually: "If it's done, just say it."

Liu Guanshi said embarrassingly: "I know, but the young master... may be haunted by what happened in the past and refuse to come back."

"Hmm." Xuanping Marquis hummed lightly, but he couldn't hear his anger and anger, "It's fine if you don't reply."

The Marquis of Xuanping did not love the strong man.

Steward Liu broke into a cold sweat, but it's okay, it's okay, he didn't punish him.

The Marquis of Xuanping generally does not punish the servants. People who are new to the mansion will think that this Marquis is different from the rumors.

That's because, ah, the people who made Hou Ye angry are dead.

Those who survived were not offended by Lord Hou.

Hou Ye is actually a little moody.

He can chat and laugh with people one second, and cut the person with a knife the next.

Of course, Lord Hou is indeed very tolerant in most things.

After all, without that measure and pattern, he wouldn't be able to sit where he is now.

"Master Hou!"

A guard came on horseback.

Xuan Pinghou raised his eyes slightly.

Steward Liu understood and stopped the carriage.

Xuanping Hou opened the curtain: "What's the matter?"

"The crown princess has an accident. Not long after you left, the basement of the music hall collapsed, and the crown princess was buried under her head. In addition, there was another person buried in the storage room inside."

There is someone in the pantry, which is an important message.

It shows that the meeting between Xuanping Hou and the Crown Princess is likely to have been broken by the other party.

Xuanping Hou's expression did not change.

Steward Liu on the side was worried.

The guard continued: "The two people were pressed by the same big stone slab, and the officials couldn't lift it, so they could only choose to tilt the stone slab up, save one, or crush the other. The princess' maid revealed her identity in the East Palace. , the official officer decided to save the crown princess, at this time, a scholar jumped down, he said to the official officer..."

Speaking of this, the personal guard glanced at Marquis Xuanping and hesitated.

Xuanping Hou said casually: "What? This matter is still related to this Hou?"

The personal guard scolded: "The scholar said that the other person buried in the ground... is you, Lord Hou!"
