After listening to Erfu's last words, Shilan and Shiqing panicked even more.

It's just that they didn't know how to help Erfu, so they could only follow Erfu's instructions in a daze, dress up and change clothes for Erfu, and wait for Erfu to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion with the messenger eunuch.

"The master took Qinglan away?" Shilan asked in disbelief at what was happening in front of her.

Shiqing nodded with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "Yes, I didn't expect that when it was so dangerous, the person who accompanied the master was not you, nor me, but her, a wandering bystander." ”

"Maybe the master thinks that she is a palace maid, and when dealing with some emergencies, there are more ways to deal with it!"

"Perhaps, but I always feel that the master's arrangement is to guard against her. Poetry looked at Erf's departing back and muttered in a low voice.

"So what do we do now?" asked Shilan.

Shiqing shook his head blankly, "Wait, if our master hasn't come back in the evening, let's follow the master's instructions, one will go to Tingyu Pavilion to take care of Xiao Qigege, and the other will go to Ning Yuantang in the front yard to take care of Brother Hongyu, which is also the only thing we can do for our master." ”

After saying that, she walked into the courtyard without waiting for Shilan's answer.

She was a little sad by this oppressive atmosphere, and the tears swirling in her eye sockets were about to flow out, in order not to lose face in front of the other palace maids and servants, and in order not to let the other palace maids and servants in the courtyard think nonsense, she had to find a place where no one was there and be quiet.

Shiqing turned and left, and Shilan followed suit.

When she passed by the courtyard, she did not forget to instruct the maid to clean up the fallen leaves and dust in the courtyard, and maintained the same style as usual, but the hands she kept in her sleeves had already been clenched into fists.

Besides, Erfu's side, it was the first time that she entered the palace in a soft sedan chair sent out by the palace!

After experiencing the initial panic, she was very curious, so she looked at the furnishings in the sedan chair.

Different from the two-person sedan chair that is used in the house, the sedan chair carried by four people is more spacious and atmospheric, the bottom of the sedan chair is covered with a soft and thick carpet, there are handrails carved with dragons and phoenixes on both sides of the seat, and a small number is inlaid on the side, with various kinds of snacks and warm tea.

It's just that the ladies in this palace are not easy to guess, although Erfu is a little relieved, but it is still difficult to smile, and she doesn't dare to move any food, so she came to Concubine De Niangniang stiffly.

Concubine De did not see Erfu in the main hall, but waited in the side hall, sitting on the couch very casually.

Erfu greeted Su Yao who led her into the hall in an orderly manner, and looked at Concubine De, who was no different from the past, her little heart that had been floating in her throat was finally grounded, and what followed was an unspeakable grievance, and before Concubine De could open her mouth, tears were already flowing down her cheeks.

Su Yao heard the faint sound of sobbing behind him, and his whole body stiffened.

It's not a fuss about her, it's really a daughter-in-law like Sifujin who cries in front of her mother-in-law, which is very rare in the palace, and even she, who has been with Concubine De for many years and is well-informed, is also the second time to see her.

By the way, by the way, it seems that last time it was Sifujin crying and begging Concubine De to be the master.

Thinking about it like this, Su Yao was not surprised, the last time Sifujin made such a gaffe, and his own mother never blamed Sifujin for anything, and even vaguely made up for it and lifted it up, so this time, Sifujin can't be like last time, and go back to clean up the gossip women in the Siye's mansion, and they should be able to get out of the way.

Sure enough, Sifujin is about to become the most unoffending existence after the Fourteenth Master.

With such an idea, Su Yao looked up at his own Concubine De who was frowning and looking down, and hurriedly reminded: "Sifujin, what kind of trouble are you making, you cry when you say crying, isn't this to make our mother anxious!"

"Don't cry!" Sure enough, as soon as Su Yao's voice fell, Concubine De Niangniang spoke.

She didn't notice what kind of state Erfu was in just now, seeing that Erfu refused to get up, she thought she was losing her temper and playing tricks with herself, if it wasn't for Su Yao's quick reminder, she would have planned to hang Erfu like this, really thinking that her concubine was a temperless bread.

However, it is not to blame Concubine De Niangniang for this misunderstanding, after all, in the middle of winter, the doors and windows are placed with screens to block the wind, although it blocks the cold wind that comes in from the cracks in the doors and windows, but it also covers the light, making the hall gloomy and ghostly, that is, lighting with candles, the hall is a little dark, and Concubine De Niangniang is getting older, her eyes are getting worse and worse, and she can't see the distance clearly.

When Erf heard this, she cried even louder.

Some people who are immersed in negative emotions such as sadness and grievances are like this, the more they persuade, the more they cry, the more enlightened they are, if no one pays attention to them, they cry for a while, and slowly it will be fine, how can others not say, anyway, Erfu is just this kind of character, she can still be strong to endure tears, just the nose is sore, sobbing lightly, hearing the voice of Concubine De, she was a little nervous.

Although it was not a cry, it was a tear.

To tell the truth, if Concubine De didn't know Erfu's character so well, she could really laugh out loud at Erfu's pretentious and stupid appearance.

Because no matter how ridiculous and weird the rumors from the outside world are, and whether she Erfu is innocent in this matter, Erfu failed to restrain the concubines and slaves in the house, and failed to manage the affairs of the inner house, which is already a dereliction of duty, a dereliction of duty, even crying and complaining about grievances in front of this mother-in-law with a shy face, isn't this a stupid move to kill himself......

But when I got to Erph, I encountered an accident.

Because Concubine De knows this daughter-in-law who is consistent on the outside and doesn't know how to hide her true thoughts, she can't bear to embarrass Erfu, which will make her look too vicious, I'm afraid that she will be disgusted with herself in her heart, but the questions that should be asked can't be ignored.

Concubine De looked at Erfu crying pitifully, thinking that it was not easy for this silly girl to live in the royal family, she couldn't help but make her also guilty of soft-heartedness, while instructing Su Yao to prepare the water to clean her hands and face, while beckoning Erfu to sit down and talk beside her, there was no tension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all, but it seemed that her mother was comforting her ignorant little daughter.

Su Yao, who quickly prepared the warm water, clean cloths, fragrant pancreas and other things needed to clean his hands and face, returned to the hall and arrived at the most unbelievable scene.

- Erfu actually buried her head in the arms of Concubine De and cried bitterly.

Oops, that crying is an earth-shattering, that crying is a grievance, crying and complaining about grievances, not with that kind of soft-spoken, tactful and pleasant voice, but a kind of hoarse voice crying to the collapse of the hoarse complaining of grievances.

Su Yao looked at Concubine De Niangniang again, and she admired Concubine De's patience a little.

——Concubine De not only did not dislike the ugliness of Sifujin's tears and snot flowing together, but also did not dislike Sifujin's hoarse voice, she hugged Sifujin warmly with her arms, and softly comforted Sifujin who cried until she collapsed and cried until she changed her voice.

Just when Su Yao was watching this scene dumbfounded, not knowing how to deal with herself, Concubine De finally noticed her.

I saw Concubine De gently patting Sifujin's back with one hand, and freeing one finger to point in the direction of the washbasin stand, signaling Su Yao to quickly twist a wet handkerchief for herself, because she felt that her clothes were almost soaked with Erfu's tears.

"Good boy, don't cry, cry again, your eyes won't be easy to see, E-Niang knows that you are wronged, and she also knows that you are very uncomfortable, but we can't let others see the jokes.

Think about the concubines in the old fourth mansion who are very bad-hearted......

Think about the people in and outside the palace who point to others to make themselves happy......

You should know, aren't they just twisting their little handkerchiefs and waiting to see your jokes!" Concubine De took the wet handkerchief handed by Su Yao, and gently wiped the tears from Erfu's cheeks and the corners of her eyes while softly persuading.

Erph cried for so long that her voice was hoarse, but she had actually cried enough.

It's just that she was embarrassed to look up when she thought that she was holding Concubine De Niangniang and burying her head and crying, but when she heard Concubine De Niangniang say this, she couldn't continue to lose face, so she hurriedly took the wet handkerchief in Concubine De's hand, wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, and replied hesitantly.

"Well, don't cry, if you keep crying, E-Niang will cry with you!" Seeing that Erfu finally stopped her tears, Concubine De felt a sense of relief, and hurriedly comforted.

Erfu lowered her head shyly, and choked in a low voice: "Niangniang, other things, but it won't make me feel wronged, those messy rumors in the outside world, I don't care at all, I'm the prince of Qi, he doesn't believe me at all, I don't like Honghui all these years, but how I treat Honghui, others don't know, don't he know, rumors are spread outside, he actually hides in the study and doesn't come out." ”

Speaking of this, the tears in her eyes that had not yet dried began to flow down again.

Erff wiped it with her sleeve very heroically, looked up at the roof, hoping to stop the tears in her eyes, and pretended to be strong and smiled bitterly: "I don't want him to defend me, let alone want him to comfort himself, even if he just comes to see me, I won't be so sad."

To put it mildly, I knew that this was the case, I wouldn't have interfered in Honghui's affairs anyway, so as not to be sad and sad now!"

"Nonsense again, you are Honghui's mother-in-law, how can you ignore his affairs.

Honghui's kid is not sensible, those people in the Wulanala clan are the heart of villains, but you can't compete with them, and you shouldn't say such things stubbornly.

You are obviously worried about Honghui's affairs, you don't ask those people of the Wulanala clan to thank you, but you can't let outsiders misunderstand you. When Concubine De heard this, she was stunned at first, and then slapped Erfu with an angry face, and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of which, Concubine De threw a big white eye at Erfu.

I knew that my fourth daughter-in-law was very stupid, but I didn't expect my fourth daughter-in-law to be so stupid, she did all the good things, and when it was time to contribute, she didn't have the slightest intention of prevaricating and evading, and finally smeared herself on herself, and said such irrational words in front of her mother-in-law, which is why she felt sorry for her, otherwise her fourth daughter-in-law would not have been wrongfully killed!

Erfu was stunned by Concubine De's words, and her tears stopped flowing, and she hesitated for a while before asking, "Then what else can I do?"

"What should I do, you should invite the head of the Wulanala clan to your and the fourth child's house, and show them how you bothered to work for Honghui.

The reason why you do this is not to expect them to be grateful, but you can't let yourself do good deeds without leaving a name, you should understand that the wall has ears, and when the time comes, they are unwilling to take credit for you, and there are always those well-informed people who can find out these details, and then you don't need to come forward to defend yourself, someone will make a name for you!"

Yes, why did Concubine De Niangniang make a good name in the court and abroad because she was born as a tea palace maid?

Could it be that those people outside were really moved by her, and volunteered to make a name for her, don't be funny, everything needs to be fought for by yourself, do a part, and you have to arrange people to publicize it to 100%, and then openly and secretly raise up those old enemies who can no longer threaten her own status, so that people outside know how tolerant and open-minded she is, and in the long run, she has a good reputation outside.

This is also the way of Erfu does not know how to operate, if Concubine De Niangniang is in the position of Erfu, Concubine De Niangniang said that she can boast of herself as a fairy Linfan, the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, so that those who want to frame and calculate their own people, before they do it, they will be a little weak-hearted, and then do something good in a planned way, even if the clan and the emperor want to abolish the prince Fujin, they will not be able to do it, and they will naturally stand in an invincible position.

However, Concubine De Niangniang does not plan to let Erfu become the second self, that is to harm Erfu, because Erfu herself does not have such a mind, nor does she have such a skill, and the character of the fourth child is not very different from today's, so it is better to let Erfu go with the flow, but even so, Concubine De Niangniang can't let outsiders pour sewage on her daughter-in-law's head.

In fact, this is also the main purpose of Concubine De Niangniang to call Erfu into the palace today.

- She just wants to let those fools who listen to the wind and rain see how unbelievable the rumors from the outside world are that she can still be so close to Erfu and Honghui's grandmother.
