Chapter 938: A Group of Pinellia
Too much alike! One of the women had eyes exactly like the lady's. Bei Hui was the one who knew Shi Anxia best, and she was frightened after just a quick glance.
She walked forward and pulled off the woman's veil, feeling even more anxious.
Not only their eyes are similar, their whole faces look alike.
As the face veils were slowly taken off one by one, she was horrified.
Bei Hui suddenly understood why Lord Qiu hesitated to speak.
These girls all look very similar to their wives, the differences are that some focus more on the eyes, some on the nose, and some on the dimples on the cheeks.
The one in the corner, even the position of the red mole on the earlobe is exactly right.
Shi Anxia was also stunned.
The curve of the girls' bent knees when they saluted and the way they rolled up their sleeves when they raised their hands were clearly the rules that were taught by the maids in the palace.
They are all like her shadow.
This reminded Shi Anxia of an old story.
That year, Wei Yuzhi participated in the martial arts competition and encountered a series of schemes.
Wei Yuzhi is attracted to Shi Anxia, and not only Shi Anxia knows it, but the Li family also knows it.
The Li family sent a woman named Qi Banxia to approach Wei Yuzhi, hoping that he would cheat in the competition.
The name Qi Banxia is derived from Shi Anxia's name.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuzhi reported the conspiracy in public on the stage, thus defusing the conspiracy. Afterwards, the woman named Qi Banxia disappeared.
In fact, the Li family has collected not just one woman who looks like Shi Anxia, but a group of them.
That was because the insane Empress Dowager Jiqing was obsessed with Fengnu and collected fakes for future use.
Later, the Qingchen Plan ended, the Queen Mother fell, and there were so many aspects that needed to be tied up that Shi Anxia didn't pay much attention to this matter.
The officials who went to check said that no one was in the houses, which meant that the girls had either run away or been moved away.
Shi Anxia didn't mind if someone looked like her. In this world, many people looked alike.
Should we take our anger out on others just because they look alike? Those girls are also pitiful people.
Shi Anxia didn't expect that she would see another batch of such "Pinellia" in Gongcheng today.
She suddenly understood the real meaning of what her cousin Qiu Zhiyan said, "There must be someone in Beijing who is colluding with Jiang Zhongxin."
At the same time, Shi Anxia also sensed the malicious intent hidden beneath the human skin towards her, a princess from another family, which had never dissipated.
She had been living in exile, and was criticized by the powerful and aristocratic families. However, Emperor Mingde had said, "In my name, I will prove the innocence of Princess Haiyan," and he also ordered that "anyone who spreads rumors about Princess Haiyan will be punished with death."
Emperor Mingde's thundering methods can shut the mouths of people all over the world, but they cannot stop the maggots wriggling deep in people's hearts.
It can be said that no one has dared to commit suicide in front of Shi Anxia in recent years, but the more noble she lives, the more people despise her in secret.
The more favored she was with Emperor Mingde, the more those people wanted to humiliate her.
Do you dare?
dare not.
Even people like Pan Yizi and Jiang Zhongxin only dared to use these women who looked like Princess Haiyan as beauty instruments, asking them to kneel down and catch spit in their mouths, lie on their stomachs and serve as inkstones, or even as toilet paper.
When these women said "Thank you for the reward" in exactly the same tone as hers, they could imagine Princess Haiyan serving them in an extremely humiliating posture and enjoying her pleasure.
This greatly satisfies men's abnormal psychology.
After Emperor Mingde ascended the throne, the "Beauty Device" was banned and rarely seen in the capital.
But no one would have expected that such a small city like Lingzhou could harbor such filth and corruption.
Bei Hui and Qiu Zhiyan both thought of this and their faces turned extremely ugly.
Only Shi Anxia showed no emotion. Her expression was calm. She only asked Qiu Zhiyan to take the people away to find out who sent them here, and instructed them to properly place the girls.
Qiu Zhiyan agreed.
As they were leaving the door, the girls suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the princess to express their gratitude.
They thought Shi Anxia would execute them all because of their similar appearance. After all, they were alive and had served others in such a humiliating way, and all their twists and turns were touching the princess' reverse scale.
Unexpectedly, the princess not only did not kill them, but also gave them proper accommodation.
It’s like a ray of light shining slowly into a lonely and desperate life.
The girls burst into tears.
Shi Anxia waved her hand, not wanting to look any closer.
After the girls left the house, Bei Hui quickly asked Nan Yan to come in and wait on them. She then hurried after Qiu Zhiyan, gritting her teeth and saying, "That beast is so hateful! Sir Qiu, wait for me a moment. I'll be back soon."
She turned around and ran, fearing that Qiu Zhiyan had left. She turned her head and shouted as she ran, "Wait for me, wait for me."
Bei Hui went to Zhuo Qiran's house.
As soon as he entered, he stretched out his hand to ask for something, "Give me some poison that will make my life worse than death."
"Poison who?" Zhuo Qiran asked.
"Jiang Zhongxin." Bei Hui seldom showed her emotions, but after she said these few words, her eyes turned red and she felt very aggrieved.
When Zhuo Qiran saw her like that, the man who had never understood romance felt a slight tremor in his heart for some reason.
He held her hand for the first time.
It was a little against etiquette, but...his engaged wife was so sad that she was about to cry, how could he still stand there like a wooden stake?
That can't!
As soon as he touched her hand, his heart melted and he trembled.
It’s a pity that Bei Hui only wanted to use the back door to get a bag of medicine powder, and was not concerned at all about whether he could pull the hand or not.
She shook his sleeve with her backhand, "Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not?"
She shook him again, "Hurry up, Master Qiu is waiting."
Zhuo Qiran was shaken helplessly, "Give it to me, give it to me!"
He could refuse to give it to others if they wanted it, but if Bei Hui wanted it, would he dare not give it to her?
The prince consort said that there was still a long time to live with her. He wanted to live with her for a long time. If he behaved well today, he would be able to become a master in the future.
"Then give it to me!" Bei Hui was anxious and very suspicious. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing." He responded softly, turning around and opening a special medicine box, which contained a pile of paper packages and bottles and jars.
"You smiled, and that smile doesn't look like yourself anymore." Bei Hui glanced into the medicine box with red eyes. She was so envious that she reached out to take a few more.
Zhuo Qiran grabbed her hand again, "My dear aunt, please don't move. Any of the medicines in here can kill someone."
Bei Hui said confidently, "Isn't it because I have you? I can't die." She was still picky, "Is this one uncomfortable? How about this one? Will it make people feel miserable?"
She had a request, "People can be in pain, but they cannot die. Don't let him get away with it!"
Zhuo Qiran only realized at this moment that Bei Hui hated evil so much. He picked out a packet of medicine powder and told her, "Take it. You want a 'life worse than death'. It's like thousands of needles piercing him, making his heart hurt, but he can still hold on."
Bei Hui was overjoyed, her red eyes showing joy. "This is great. This is exactly what I want."
He took it without saying thank you and just turned and ran away.
Lord Qiu is still waiting for her!
The door creaked shut, but soon it creaked open again.
Bei Hui poked her head in and asked cautiously, "Zhuo, Master Zhuo, if I provoke you in the future, you won't use this to deal with me, right?"
