Chapter 1,174, Suspicious Candlestick

A very simple candlestick, the only candlestick, as inconspicuous as this empty room.

"This... take this candlestick with you. When the eldest lady had no lights, she always used this candlestick. It's not very big. I want to take it out and place it in front of the eldest lady's soul... to commemorate this tragic day." Yan was still a little uncomfortable at first. He looked at the candlestick and then at Shao Wanru's face, only to find out that her expression was normal.

"You get up first!" Shao Wanru said.

Mo Yan did not refuse this time. He stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and walked to Shao Wanru to wait on him. This position happened to be in front of the candlestick. Shao Wanru could not see the candlestick after he sat down.

"Bring this candlestick over and let me take a look!" Shao Wanru suddenly said.

Mo Yan trembled with fright, and his face showed a trace of unnaturalness: "Princess, this is not a good thing. It was originally thrown here. Our eldest lady came over and wiped the candlestick clean and kept using it. There is nothing here. Good thing, this candlestick is the only one that appeals to our eldest lady."

"Bring it here!" Shao Wanru's face darkened and he ignored Mo Yan's explanation.

Mo Yan moved and wanted to say something, but he saw that Yu Jie had already gone over, took the candlestick on it, and presented it in front of Shao Wanru. He couldn't help feeling nervous. Why hadn't he packed the candlestick before? Princess Chen won’t find anything, right?

Shao Wanru took the candlestick in Yujie's hand with his eyes. The candlestick was not big, and a half-burned candle on it had already died out. There was only a faint smell of candlelight. It was not very strong, but there was a hint of it. There is a faint fragrance, like incense, and it smells very good.

"Where did this candle come from?" Shao Wanru looked at the candlestick in his hand. It was a small candlestick that was not particularly delicate, but it was very bright. This was what had just attracted Shao Wanru. An important reason to pay attention. Sunlight fell on the candlestick just now, and it happened to shine in front of Shao Wanru's eyes, otherwise she would not have noticed such a small candlestick.

The light fragrance on it is so light that you can't smell it unless you put it between your noses.

"I heard that it was issued in the palace... I want to change the slave to a better one, but the result is the same. It's just... the same one." Mo Yan stuttered and said.

He turned over the candlestick in his hand a few more times and found nothing unusual. "Does your master like this candlestick?"

"Yes, our eldest lady likes it very much." Mo Yan said hurriedly. Perhaps he felt that he spoke too hastily for fear of causing Shao Wanru's misunderstanding. Mo Yan added, "When the eldest lady can't sleep at night, she will embroider some Fortunately, I have this candlestick here, otherwise the eldest lady would be very sad. This shiny thing was wiped by our eldest lady herself. If the slave wants to wipe it, the eldest lady will not let it."

"Your master must be a palace concubine after all. You can't find anything better!" Shao Wanru casually put the candlestick in Yu Jie's hand and wiped his palm with the handkerchief.

Although it was wiped clean, there were still some unclean areas and it was very greasy. As soon as I took it, I felt a little greasy.

Mo Yan cautiously breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, the eldest lady lived a miserable life in the palace. No one would help us at all, and no one would come to take a second look at us. The eldest lady didn't have any other good things. When we entered Although I still had some when I was in the palace, they were all given to the eunuchs and maids later on, so there’s nothing good left!”

Speaking of his grievances, Mo Yan's eyes turned red again.

Come.

A period of time in the palace was not about enjoyment, but suffering. Even if she was just a maid, she couldn't get used to such a hard life, let alone a young lady who had grown up to be charming and charming.

My lady deserves better, she wants to step into a higher position.

With this thought in mind, the grievance in his eyes was slightly reduced.

"Okay, in that case, you can come with me. This candlestick is good, so take it with you!" Shao Wandao said with a normal expression and stood up, "Yu Jie went to make a note and said that I will take this palace maid with me." gone!"

Since she is a maid in the palace, there are records, and she cannot be taken away by anyone who wants to. Even Mo Yan, who did not enter the palace according to the rules, is the same.

"Yes, slave, go now!" Yujie handed the candlestick in her hand to Qing'er. Since the master has taken a fancy to the candlestick, it belongs to the master.

"Thank you, Princess, but this... the thing that the eldest lady likes..." Mo Yan pointed at the candlestick in Qing'er's hand and stammered. She did not dare to reach out and could only look at Shao Wanru eagerly, hoping that Shao Wanru could Give this candlestick back to yourself.

The eldest lady is gone, so Princess Chen still robs the eldest lady’s things, and is it still such a worthless thing?

Princess Chen’s vision is not that low, right?

"Let's go!" Shao Wanru ignored her and said calmly, walking out, Qing'er followed closely.

Mo Yan said hurriedly: "Princess, I still need to pack some things..."

"If you have anything else to pack, just get a package. I'll wait for you in the yard for a while, and you pack it right away!" Shao Wanru said displeased.

Seeing that Shao Wanru was displeased, Mo Yan did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly packed a few simple things into a package that had been prepared long ago, walked out with a small package, and looked back at the courtyard door behind him. I felt sour in my heart, my lady had to live here for so long, now...

"Let's go!" Seeing that she was still in a daze, Qing'er whispered.

Mo Yan nodded hurriedly, wiped his tears, followed Qing'er, and walked out with Shao Wanru.

Along the way, the two maids had nothing to say and followed quietly. When they arrived at the side door, they saw Qin Yiyan with the maid. Seeing Shao Wanru coming over, he saluted her and looked a little uncomfortable. nice.

When she entered the palace before, she also entered with Chu Liuchen and Shao Wanru. As soon as she entered the palace, Chu Liuchen sent her to Concubine Lan's palace. She had already returned first.

"Why don't Miss Qin go back first?" After she finished her salute, Shao Wanru asked calmly.

Qin Qiuyi's expression was definitely not good-looking. She looked at Shao Wanru and seemed to want to say something, but when she saw the two maids following her, she swallowed her words back and only found something ordinary to say: "I'm waiting here specially for Chen. Princess, I want to tell you something."

"Miss Qin, please come with me!" Shao Wanru nodded without refusing.

He led the people to the courtyard where he was, and when he entered the courtyard, Qing'er asked Qing'er to arrange Mo Yan's residence, and asked Qin Yiyan to enter the main room.

Qin Yiyan sat down after entering the door, looking a little tired. He looked at Shao Wanru's expression, and his eyes were a little scrutinizing and a little uneasy.

Shao Wanru calmly put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his clear eyes, and landed on Qin Yiyan's face: "Miss Qin, please tell me something."

"You...really won't hold your cousin back?" Qin Yiyan's words blurted out.

"What does Miss Qin mean?"

? "Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

Qin Yiyan swallowed hard. Inexplicably, she felt that the younger Princess Chen in front of her was so powerful that she couldn't help but choked. She couldn't say some words. After thinking about it for a while, she said bluntly: " I just went to see my aunt, and she wanted me to listen to you, but do you have...that much ability?"

Although he felt that Shao Wanru, Princess Chen, was very powerful, Qin Yiyan still didn't believe that Shao Wanru could do well as Princess Chen. She was the hope of the entire family, and she had been educating herself in this aspect since she was a child, even though she was still a confidant. A middle-aged and weak woman, but her horizons are much higher than those of ordinary women, and she is not limited to the backyard.

Is this what I am most suitable for my cousin?

Thinking of what Concubine Lan had just said, she was very unconvinced.

"What's Miss Qin's ability?" Seeing her unconvinced and angry look, which seemed a bit childish, Shao Wanru couldn't help but laugh, and asked directly without beating around the bush.

Everyone in the house is their own confidant, so there is no need to hide these things.

"I can help my cousin guard the backyard. No matter how many women my cousin lets in, I can control it firmly. Not only can I keep these women quiet, but I can also force their families to work for my cousin. , as for the secret guards I have in hand, I can help my cousin arrange it secretly, so that I won’t let my cousin worry about it.”

Qin Yiyan raised his head and said with a bit of pride: "I can also do martial arts, can Princess Chen do it?"

Qin Yiyan actually knows martial arts? Shao Wanru looked at her in astonishment, he really wouldn't have been able to tell if she didn't tell her.

"I'm really good at martial arts. I've practiced martial arts since I was a child." Thinking that Shao Wanru didn't believe it, Qin Yiyan added that compared to other fragile women, she was the most powerful protector.

If she became Princess Chen, she would definitely be able to protect her cousin. No one would have thought that she, Princess Chen, could use martial arts. If someone attempted to assassinate her cousin, she would be able to rush out to protect her cousin immediately, and then prevent the enemy from being surprised. , seize the opportunity.

"Those who practice martial arts are all guards." Shao Wanru suddenly felt that Qin Yiyan was a little cute, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow a little thicker.

"I have an advantage over other guards. I can be more unexpected. They will never think of it." Qin Yiyan was still unconvinced and looked Shao Wanru up and down, "I don't understand what my cousin likes about you. , you are so weak, let alone an assassin, even if other women point a finger, something will happen to you, and something happened to the princess's house this time, if I were to step forward, I would beat them to death!"

Qin Yiyan clenched his fist and shook it fiercely in the air.

Her behavior really amused Shao Wanru. He gently wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and then said, "Are you going to beat up all the women? Then force them to be unwilling to give up?"

"Of course it can't be all like this. Strategies are still needed when the time comes. I'm not one of those reckless people." Qin Yiyan felt very frustrated. He could do better, but he had to give up this position to The little and weak Princess Chen in front of her is really unconvinced!

But no matter how unconvinced she is, her aunt has spoken, and her cousin’s meaning is also very obvious. My aunt was very hesitant before, but now that my cousin’s meaning is so obvious, what else can my aunt say? She reaches out and takes out something from her arms. Reluctantly, she pushed it in front of Shao Wanru, and her voice lowered: "The queen said, it's for you!"
