Chapter 323 Slingshot Hit the Rabbit

The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Gaochi went to Wenhua Hall south of Chunhe Palace first and came back before noon.Guo Yan accompanied Zhu Gaochi for a walk in a small garden near Chunhe Palace.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Zhanji, who was over eight years old, standing by the pond, carefully pulling out a slingshot; the two eunuchs beside him also looked ahead with concentration, and did not find Zhu Gaochi and others behind for a while.

The slingshot is like an archery bow. The difference is that there is a piece of leather in the middle of the bow string, wrapped in a stone, and this bow is quite powerful.At this moment, a slingshot was fired with a bang.

Then there was a scream from the animal.Zhu Gaochi then discovered that a white rabbit not far away had been knocked over by a stone, and he leaned on the ground and struggled constantly.

good!good!When the two eunuchs saw that Zhu Zhanji had hit the rabbit, they immediately got up.

Zhu Zhanji was also dancing and shouting happily.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi remembered what Guo Yan said last night that he took a few rabbits into the palace, and Zhan Ji chose the rabbit first... The rabbit in front of him who was struggling dyingly was probably the one that Zhan Ji adopted first!

Zhu Gaochi was immediately furious and cursed: Why is he so cruel at a young age?

The two eunuchs then discovered the prince and were so scared that they hurriedly knelt on the ground.Zhanji turned around and lowered his head and said, "My son has already recited the book today."

I said the rabbit you raised!Zhu Gaochi was very angry and walked over with difficulty, grabbed Zhanji and turned his body over.

As soon as he raised his slap, he heard the voice of the Crown Princess Zhang and said: Princess calm down. Who is this age not greedy and stubborn? Why do you have to be so arrogant?

Bang!Zhu Gaochi slapped Zhanji in the butt without saying a word, and Zhanji immediately burst into tears.

Zhu Gaochi looked up and said to Zhang: His brother Zhan'an picked a lame rabbit, saying that he was afraid that others would not adopt it.Zhanji is so good that he beat him to death and had fun!I want him to have a better memory!

After hearing this, Zhang immediately turned his attention to Guo Yan beside Zhu Gaochi and gave him a meaningful look.

mother!My father beat me... Zhanji saved Zhang with tears and tears.Zhang said sternly: Your father is teaching you to understand things, don’t cry!Go and admit your mistake to your father.

Zhanji was thrown away by Zhang, so he had to walk towards Zhu Gaochi in a daze, looking slow.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi's anger stopped a little.

Zhang bowed his knees and bowed, saying kindly: Zhanji is known to be wrong, Prince.

At this time, Guo Yan bowed slowly and said: I will pay homage to the Crown Princess.

Zhang looked her up and down and said with a smile: My sister teaches Wuer so well. She can't even speak clearly when she is over two years old. She can't tell such profound truths. It's not easy.

Guo Yan's expression changed and she said coldly: Is there anything in the words of the Crown Princess?

What are my words? Zhang said with a confused look on his face, "My sister is so smart that she confused me." However, in this palace, keeping one's duty is more important than being smart. My sister did a good job in this. Today, she happened to take the prince for a walk. When she arrived here, she met me and performed etiquette in a manner. Prince, look, Concubine Guo is very good at being a human being.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say a word, but just frowned.

Guo Yan's face turned even more blue and white, and her chest kept undulating, as if she was about to be furious.But the Crown Princess praised her on every word, but never happened!

Guo Yan stopped talking again, and finally took a deep breath and said seriously: There are more than one eunuch who brought the rabbit, and they are not from our Eastern Palace.Why don’t you ask if those words were said by yourself!

Why is my sister so careless again?Zhang said, did I say, weren’t those words said by Zhan Yi?

You each say a few less words!Zhu Gaochi shook his head helplessly, and then looked up at the sky and said, It’s noon, is it time for lunch?

Zhang said: Lunch is ready, please invite the prince to the dining room.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi turned to Guo Yan and said: You go back to your room first, I'm going to have a meal.

Guo Yan hurriedly bent down and said, "Greatly give me the prince."

The group quickly left the shore of the pond. After a while, Zhang turned his head gently and sneered at Guo Yan.Guo Yan pretended not to see it.

After everyone left, Guo Yan walked to the pond and saw a warrior pinched with mud there. It was exactly what Zhan Ji liked to play with.She kicked the clayman into the pond with anger.

...The eunuchs and palace maids all followed the prince, and Guo Yan returned to the bedroom alone.

I didn't see anyone in the bedroom. It was almost lunch time, and the servants might have been waiting for dinner.

Recently, the food in the Eastern Palace has been tight, and several palace maids have starved to death. These servants are just thinking about eating all day!

He doesn't care about serving others.

As soon as Guo Yan walked to the partition, she suddenly saw a palace maid wiping the bronze mirror of the dressing table. The palace maid's face did not face the bronze mirror, but was facing the table.

Guo Yan glanced at the table and found a golden hairpin on it.

In the morning, she was a little hesitant when she was dressing up, and in the end she didn't wear the hairpin and forgot to take it away.

Guo Yan didn't think much about it and immediately hid behind the partition.

After waiting for a while, she gently looked at the golden hairpin on the table was gone.The palace maid was still wiping the things on the dressing table.

Guo Yan walked gently outside the partition, burying her head and thinking about something.

Of course she recognized this palace maid, and her name was Su'er. She came to Guo Yan's side to serve people last year. She used to be just a palace maid who did rough work in the washing room.

Cough cough... Guo Yan coughed twice and walked in bypassing the partition.

Su'er bent her knees and said: The Empress is back.

Guo Yan nodded, sat straight to the dressing table, turned around and looked at it, and said with a huh: Where is the golden hairpin I put here in the morning?

Su'er shook her head and said: I don't know, I... I just came in for a while.

Didn't really see it?Guo Yan asked with a smile as if she was smiling.

Su'er's face turned red immediately, her eyes stern, and she looked up and said: I really didn't see it!

Guo Yan said: Then I'll ask someone to come in and search now?

Su'er stood there stiffly.Guo Yan stood up and acted as a gesture to call someone.Suddenly, Su'er knelt on the floor tiles with a plop, and the empress, please spare your life, the empress...

Guo Yan immediately said kindly: I know it’s not easy for everyone recently, so don’t panic.

The Empress is really a Bodhisattva-hearted person, and I will never dare to do it again.I'm going to slap myself!Su'er was so scared that she shook her whole body.

Shh!Shh!Guo Yan grabbed her wrist and said quietly. It was the most taboo thing in the palace to people with unclean hands and feet.If someone hears it, I can't protect you even if I want to.

Empress... Su'er looked at her blankly.

Guo Yan whispered: I'll ask you something. If you answer truthfully, I will definitely help you cover up the matter, and no third person will know about it.

Su'er said: I will definitely speak out!

Guo Yan looked back and his voice was even lower: In the spring of the first year of Yongle, you seemed to be working in the East Palace washing room?

Ah?Su'er's calm expression just now was shocked again.

Seeing this, Guo Yan had already had a five or six point in her heart. She asked immediately, "It seems that you must know the matter of washing clothes in the East Palace."After that!

Su'er was stunned there and didn't say anything for a long time.

Guo Yan said kindly: I just don’t want to be kept in the dark.If you tell me the matter, I won’t tell others who said it.But if you help others lie to me, the golden hairpin in your arms... will be light to beat you to death!

Slave said! Su'er nodded quickly and then whispered, "There is indeed one thing... But it must be that slave Luo'er who was doing something bad and had nothing to do with the princess."

You said first, what did you see? Guo Yan was in a state of ups and downs, but she held back her emotions.

Su'er whispered: Once, Luo'er wiped something on the second concubine's clothes.

When Guo Yan heard this, her eyes swelled and her hands tightly squeezed.She knew that the first child had a conspiracy to miscarriage back then!Otherwise, with so many people, why are bees staring at them?

Guo Yan trembled all over for a moment and couldn't say a word.

Su'er said: It must not be the instructor of the Crown Princess. If the Crown Princess knew about this, how could the person in the washing room be transferred to you?Luo'er usually deceives her superiors and hides her subordinates, and is happy to show off her majesty in front of her servants and is brave. Perhaps Luo'er just wants to see the empress make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect that the matter would be so big, so she has the courage to do it...

Guo Yan said coldly: When you saw Luo'er doing something bad, she must not know, otherwise you would have been in the Eastern Palace for a long time.There are so many palace maids in the Eastern Palace, how can the Crown Princess take care of them?Although Luo'er is the confidant of the Crown Princess, she has no instructions and dares to deal with me without authorization?!

I don’t know, I… Su'er’s whole body is still shaking.

Guo Yan's heart is bleeding, and indignation and hatred are surging all over her body, making it difficult to control herself!

At this moment, Su'er held the golden hairpin in both hands and presented it.

Guo Yan looked at the golden hairpin in her hand and suddenly calmed down a lot, thinking: If Su'er is let go today, will she admit that she stole the golden hairpin without any evidence in the future?

Was she still willing to testify and accuse Luo'er at that time?

Guo Yan felt a little confused for a moment, and she was still a little afraid of Zhang, but she was really unwilling to let her be so stupid that she was framed in no way!

She suddenly thought to herself: It can be seen that the prince doesn’t like Zhan Ji very much…

The prince never said it, but Guo Yan was close to the prince for so long, how could he not know: In fact, the prince hates the emperor very much!

But Zhu Zhanji was very favored by the emperor. The emperor said that Zhanji was like him more than once.The prince didn't like that kind of person at all, and he felt that the kind and quiet Tan was more like his personality.

Guo Yan's face became colder and colder!

Empress... Su'er called out carefully.

Guo Yan glanced at her and said coldly: If you don’t obey, what will happen!

After saying that, she immediately shouted: Come!Someone coming...

Su'er's whole body became soft and she had collapsed on the floor tiles.Guo Yan said: Why don’t you put the golden hairpin on quickly, and someone will come in and see you later!
