The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

After getting the two lists, Duan Chengkang had a preliminary idea of ​​the suspect.

But the deeper he investigated, the more confused he became. There was more than one person behind all these related people. Prince An (the second prince), Prince Li (the fourth prince), Prince Xuan (the fifth prince), Prince Chun (the sixth prince), and even Prince Ke, who was far away in his fiefdom, were involved.

This is obviously very wrong.

When the message was handed over, Emperor Chu looked at the information and fell into deep thought.

His sons all had their own little thoughts. It was also because he lived too long that they all began to covet their ancestors' legacy.

The King of Chu could accept the brothers killing each other, but he should never have any thoughts about the Chu kingdom.

Collaborate with foreign enemies to fulfill selfish desires.

The crime is unforgivable.

The King of Chu ordered his secret guards to continue investigating whether these sons were intentionally or unintentionally "accidentally" involved in this matter.

Kang Ge'er always felt that there was something he had not found out. He had not gone out for several days and sorted out the things one by one in the room.

He still remembers what his grandmother said to him when he was a child.

There are no more than six people between any strangers, and you can get to know any stranger through at most six people.

Among so many networks of relationships, find out the person they have contacted in common, then this person is very likely to be the mastermind.

His direction was right, just as the people behind the scenes gradually revealed themselves.

That person also took action.

"Emperor Chu has taken action?"

"Yes, the spies around several princes have reported back that the Emperor of Chu is secretly investigating the connection between the princes and Mo Sheng."

"Ah."

The man folded the Buddhist beads in his hands and chanted Buddhist mantras silently.

The man in black who was reporting did not move and just knelt there.

The candlelight flickered, and I couldn't see the person's face clearly.

"I'm sure they'll find us soon."

Then there was a sigh.

This sigh

Full of regret.

"Take action."

"Sir, are you leaving the capital?"

The man in black bravely asked, but was frightened to the ground by the other party's look.

"You're too talkative. I'll forgive you this time, but if you do it again..."

"My subordinates dare not."

Tai Shuzhen sat there, quietly in the lonely dark night.

Where else can she go if she leaves the capital? All her enemies are here, and she will die here.

She began to pick up the Buddha beans on the ground. Under the moonlight, she saw a pair of very old and pale hands.

The time for the Qianqiu Banquet is getting closer, and the Queen's health is getting weaker and weaker.

News from the palace claimed the Empress had been bedridden for days. The Emperor of Chu's expression grew increasingly grim, and he vented his anger on nearly everyone in the court.

It seemed that even the heavens had become sad. It rained continuously for a long time, and the gloomy sky pressed down on the capital, making it hot and humid.

The day before the Qianqiu Banquet, the rain stopped.

The strong wind swept through the streets and alleys, and the yellowish leaves were blown all over the ground.

"Creak, creak, creak."

The sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves.

"You, go and sweep up all the fallen leaves in the courtyard, so that the masters won't come over and soil their skirts."

Yicai was there directing the maids to clean. When the wind blew, leaves fell all over the floor, and they had to sweep them up from time to time.

No matter how lazy the maids were, she would watch them here to prevent the masters from seeing them.

The eldest lady is very strict about rules, so she will inevitably punish them once or twice.

"Sister Yicai, I've already swept the floor several times. The leaves fall down when the wind blows, and it's so tiring to go back and forth."

When Yicai saw a little girl in blue clothes, only about eleven or twelve years old, coming over to try to please her, she couldn't help but tap her forehead.

"You are just lazy. It's just a small path. If you were more diligent, you could have swept it in a few seconds. Look at it, it's piled there. It won't be everywhere if the wind blows it."

Yicai pointed at the fallen leaves she had swept into a pile and said, "Go find a bamboo basket to pick them up."

Just then, another little girl in light green clothes came running over, holding her belly.

"Sister Yicai, my stomach is uncomfortable. Can I ask for a leave?"

"Well, little girl, are you feeling lazy?"

Yicai turned around and saw that her face was pale, which didn't seem fake.

"No, no, sister."

The little maid had unbearable stomach pain, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.

The little maid who had just been scolded stretched her neck to look over when she heard the words.

"Sister, she got a big autumn crab from the master today, and she ate it all. Look, she got an upset stomach, she deserved it."

Yicai also ate two autumn crabs today. They are cold in nature and you shouldn't eat too much.

These young maids who had just entered the mansion didn't understand, so it was normal for them to get stomach upset.

"Surprising abdominal pain?"

The little maid nodded with tears in her eyes.

"If you give me half, my stomach won't hurt anymore."

The little maid in blue clothes muttered quietly and swept the floor sulkingly.

They are good sisters on weekdays, but become superficial friends at critical moments.

"Do you know where the provincial hospital is? Go see Doctor Chen."

The little maid nodded as if she understood, and after getting permission, she hurried to the provincial hospital.

When they entered the mansion, they memorized all the important places in the mansion.

Doctor Chen is a female doctor in the mansion who specializes in treating maids like them.

The little maidservant was passed around by various human traffickers since she was a child. Finally, a human trafficker was kind-hearted and sold her to the Duan Hou Mansion, which was well-known for its kindness.

"Don't eat cold food these days. You have a weak spleen and stomach, so you can't eat these. I'll prescribe some tonic medicine for you. Go home and buy a small medicine stove to boil it and drink it."

"I, I don't have any money."

"She either used her monthly allowance last month as a fine or to buy snacks."

Doctor Chen was stunned for a moment, then explained gently, "You are still young, so you don't need to pay for medical treatment. Once you are sixteen and become a maid, you can pay for medical treatment."

The little maid's eyes reddened, and she thanked the human trafficker who sold her to the Marquis' Mansion a thousand times in her heart.

She must have saved the Bodhisattva in her previous life, which is why she encountered such a good thing in this life.

The Marquis' Mansion was indeed as kind as I had heard.
