Chapter 177: Picking the Moon

Shen Fengxu exhaled lightly, his eyes fell out of the window, only to see a few birds landing on the branches, and then fluttering their wings and flying away, the entire Moon Picking Hall was silent, only the low choked sound of Jiang Xuanyue in his ears.

She had tried her best to restrain herself.

Since entering the palace, everything is cautious, all the time tense nerves, no matter food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is a possibility of being murdered by others, when you see Ming Jin, you have to force a smile and smile, there are countless palace maids and attendants around her, but no one is a person who can talk to her.

Her world seems to be cut off by the palace wall, and at a glance, she can only see the tall and solid palace wall, which encloses all her expectations in this small palace, and there are many people who come and go every day, but Jiang Xuyue feels that there is no one in the Moon Picking Palace, except for her, only her own shadow is here.

And Shen Fengxu came.

She didn't say anything, she didn't comfort Jiang Xiyue with a word, and even said the fact that it was so desperate that it was almost suffocating.

"There's no turning back for you. ”

"The only thing you can turn back now is to die here, and then bring the entire Yi'anbo Mansion to your funeral. ”

She said such cold and affectionate words.

But Jiang Xuanyue couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, her face with heavy makeup looked mottled because of the tears falling down, and the color of rouge and gouache was mixed and applied on her face, without a trace of dignified and gentle.

"Cousin Xiyue, don't cry......" Shen Fengxu whispered softly, "Zhucui should come back in a while, if she asks, how do you answer?"

Jiang Xiyue turned her head, bit her lip lightly, and said, "No matter what, I am her master." ”

"What is the background of this bamboo cui, do you know?" asked Shen Fengxu.

She always felt that there was something wrong with this Zhucui, even if she wanted to be loyal to Jiang Xuanyue, she didn't have to use such an almost controlling way at all, and the previous catastrophes that were about to happen to Jiang Xuanyue were all discovered by Zhucui without exception, which was quite a coincidence, but Shen Fengxu was not a person in the harem, so he didn't know more about the situation.

Jiang Xuanyue frowned slightly, and said: "I was the palace maid who guarded the palace in the Moon Picking Palace, and after I stayed in the Moon Picking Palace, she was promoted to a product and became the head of the Moon Picking Palace. ”

"You were in the Moon Picking Hall before?" Shen Fengxu thought for a moment, and then said, "Cousin, you appeared in the Moon Picking Hall for no reason, since she is guarding the palace, there is no reason not to know. ”

"I know, I've also investigated, I'm in the Moon Picking Palace...... That night, it was the other palace maids guarding the hall, and Zhucui was not there that day, and I had already investigated. ”

Shen Fengxu was a little hesitant in her heart, Jiang Xianyue was not as stupid as she looked, but ...... this investigation? There was no one available around her, could she trust what those servants said? But now Jiang Xianyue was already very panicked in her heart, so Shen Fengxu just opened her mouth and didn't speak.

After a little silence, Shen Fengxu said: "Cousin Xiyue, no matter what, this Zhucui is not your personal servant, you can't be completely trusted, you can ask her, but no matter what kind of thing it is, you have to decide for yourself, don't believe the words of others." ”

Jiang Xuyue lowered her head, her eyes were heavy, and her voice was low: "I don't know ......"

"If you die unclear, it's a pity. Shen Fengxu sighed and said, "Don't you want to see what Shen Yulou is doing all this for?"

Hearing Shen Yulou's three words, Jiang Xiangyue turned her head away, slowly clenched her fingers, and only said a few words, but she seemed to spit out from between her lips: "I won't die here so easily." ”

"It's best if my cousin can think like this. Shen Fengxu smiled slightly, "But if my cousin wants to gain a foothold in the palace, she can't rely on herself." ”

The implication is to let Jiang Xuyue compete for favor, in the harem, only the emperor's favor is the foundation of the body, a woman who is not favored, in the harem, even if the family background is high, no matter how high the rank, it is useless.

The two were talking, and suddenly heard footsteps, thinking that Zhu Cui had come back from outside the hall, but Jiang Xiangyue was now disheveled, and her face was mottled, although Jiang Xuyue was the master of Zhu Cui, but Shen Fengxu did not want to be discovered by Zhu Cui.

There must be other people behind Zhu Cui, but Shen Fengxu couldn't figure out for a while, who would be interested in Jiang Xuanyue?

Jiang Xiangyue's entry into the palace was abrupt, and offended a lot of concubines, although she was favored by Ming Jin for a few days, but Jun En was like flowing water, but it was dispersed in a moment, and Ming Jin has not come to the Moon Picking Hall since she was named Xiaoyi.

Shen Fengxu thought to himself that if she was a harem concubine, there would be nothing useful for a person like Jiang Xiyue, because Jiang Xuyue would die in the palace nine times out of ten, even if she didn't die at the hands of others, she would gradually become disheartened during this time in the palace, and finally kill herself.

But it is useless to say too much now, and now is not the time to think about it.

Shen Fengxu pulled Jiang Xuyue and walked towards the inner room: "Come in with me first." ”

......

After Zhu Cui changed his clothes, he walked towards the Moon Picking Palace, but before he could enter, a figure rushed up and knocked Zhu Cui to the ground.

Zhucui's heart was suddenly angry, but before she could speak, the person who hit her shouted loudly: "What's the matter with you? Don't you have long eyes when you walk? I'm a big living person walking here, and you can still bump into me?"

Zhucui raised her eyes to look at the person, and the person standing in front of her was also a servant, a servant who had just followed Shen Fengxu, if she remembered correctly, the person in front of her should be called Dansha.

She calmed down and said, "I didn't hit you, you hit me." ”

Dansha said unreasonably: "You don't have long eyes, and you still blame me for hitting you? Look at the person you are wearing like a dog, I didn't expect to be an unreasonable shrew!"

Zhucui choked in one breath.

Who is the shrew!

No matter how you look at it, it's the arrogant person in front of you.

But Zhucui has always been a reasonable and well-behaved girl, she took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Yes, Fang is Zhucui's, this is an apology to the girl." ”

When she had said this, she walked toward the temple.

But Dansha stepped up with an arrow and stopped in front of Zhucui.

"Who told you to go, what are you doing so fast? It's so cold and snowy, you rush over and hit me in a dignified way, do you want me to die here?" Dansha snorted coldly, "It's not enough to just apologize. ”

Zhu Cui reluctantly pulled out a smile: "Then the girl said, what should I do?"

A nameless anger rose in her heart, but she still kept a proper smile.

Dansha frowned, and couldn't help but secretly feel that Zhucui was terrible, but he still had to ignore and say: "I won't say anything if you hit me, and the clothes on my body are dirty, you have to compensate me, my clothes are not cheap!"

Zhu Cui didn't say a word, took out some fine jewelry from his waist, put it in Dansha's hand, and said with a smile: "These girls can sell them for money." ”

It was probably because Zhucui was too soft, but it made Dansha feel difficult for a while, but thinking of Shen Fengxu's instructions, she settled down, and knocked the jewelry in Zhucui's hand to the ground, and said: "Whoever wants these tattered things, I am not rare." ”

The other she is a lady! It's just because of Shen Fengxu's order to stop Zhucui from the door, so she has to make this decision.

But Dansha thought at first that she would quarrel with Zhucui, but Zhucui's performance was unusual, which made Dansha feel a little strange in her heart, although Zhucui looked at her with a smile, but there seemed to be some obscure and deep emotions hidden in her eyes.

Like a cold poisonous snake, it is waiting for an opportunity, and once it finds an opportunity, it can kill with one blow.

Zhucui bent down and picked up the jewelry that Dansha had knocked down one by one, and said, "Since the girl is not satisfied, then I will compensate the girl later, and I will go to serve Xiaoyi in the Moon Picking Hall now." ”

"Is there a lack of clumsy people like you around Xiaoyi? Besides, Xiaoyi and our Junjun are cousins, and with Junjun in the palace, what are you going to do to make a fuss?" Dansha frowned.

Zhucui still smiled: "Please also ask the girl to give way, and the maid will go in to serve Xiaoyi." ”

"No, you can figure things out first!" Dansha crossed his eyebrows and blocked Zhucui's way, not letting Zhucui leave here.

The look on Zhucui's face gradually cooled, but the smile still did not dissipate, it looked more and more weird, which made people feel uneasy, Dansha's heart was inexplicably cold, she had never been frightened by others, but the expression on Zhucui's face was terrifying, not that Dansha was timid, it really looked too terrifying.

Zhucui's smile was still the same, but it was a little cold: "Please wait a while, girl, I will serve Xiaoyi in the Moon Picking Hall first." ”

After saying that, he went to the Caiyue Palace, Dansha was stunned by Zhucui's expression for a while, and did not react, and when he reacted, Zhucui had already walked towards the palace.

Dansha is busy catching up.

It's just that when the two of them entered the hall, they found that the hall was empty, Shen Fengxu and Jiang Xianyue were not here, but there were still clouds and mist in the teacup on the table that swirled and dispersed, obviously, the two of them were still here.

Dansha knew the location of Shen Fengxu and Jiang Xuanyue, but Dansha didn't tell Zhucui, just stood there and looked at Zhucui, Zhucui looked around, and finally fell on Dansha.

Zhucui opened her mouth and asked, "Where did Xiaoyi go?"

Dansha said lightly: "I'm not Jiang Xiaoyi's servant, how do I know where Xiaoyi went?"

"Where did Xiaoyi go?!" Zhucui gritted her teeth and asked coldly.

Dansha sneered, looked at Zhucui, and was not afraid: "I said, I'm not Xiaoyi's servant, you can't find Xiaoyi, ask me what to do?"

Although she was suppressed by Zhucui just now, it was only for a moment, and now when she looked at Zhucui again, she didn't have any fear, her eyes were clear, looking directly at Zhucui, and she was even more aggressive than Zhucui.

Zhu Cui turned his head away.

She also knew that Dansha in front of her was an out-and-out shrew, and there was no point in arguing with her, and the top priority was to find Jiang Xuanyue.

But it's not hard to find, either.

Jiang Xuanyue didn't go to a very secret place with Shen Fengxu, just in Jiang Xuanyue's bedroom.

At this time, Jiang Xianyue sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Shen Fengxu stood beside Jiang Xuanyue, combing Jiang Xuanyue, Shen Fengxu was very careful, his movements were gentle and meticulous, and he slowly combed Jiang Xuanyue's soft long hair.

When Zhucui came in, he saw such a scene.

And Shen Fengxu and Jiang Xuyue didn't seem to notice that Zhucui came in, and they just chatted to themselves.

"I look at my cousin's jewelry here, but it's all rare treasures. Shen Fengxu smiled slightly and said, "Not to mention anything else, it's just that this jade crown of the golden jade Nanzhu is a priceless good thing." ”

As she was talking, Zhucui walked in, saluted the two, and then said: "What Min and Junjun said is right, this jade crown was given to Xiaoyi by the emperor himself, such a precious thing, other concubines don't have it, even that Min concubine Niangniang, she has never had such a gift." ”

Every word she said was to remind Jiang Xiyue that she was now Emperor Mingjin's person and had to accept such a fate.

But what Shen Fengxu noticed was another detail, the Min Concubine mentioned by Zhu Cui.

Min Concubine is the person who turned over the brand in Ming Jin that day, but on the way to Min Concubine's palace in front of Ming Jin, he stopped in Caiyue Hall halfway, there are so many concubines in the palace, Zhu Cui will never mention Min Concubine for no reason.

Shen Fengxu turned to look at Zhucui and said, "Since you talk about Concubine Min, do you seem to know Concubine Min very well?"

These words are quite dangerous, but Zhucui smiled slightly, and responded: "The maid was previously in the palace maid in the Moon Picking Palace, and the Moon Picking Hall is very close to Concubine Min's residence, so I have also heard a lot about Concubine Min's mother. ”

Shen Fengxu glanced at Jiang Xuanyue.

But Jiang Xuanyue shook her head slightly.

Since entering the palace, she has never seen allergic concubines, or it should be said that Jiang Xiyue has not seen other concubines except for the people who came to visit her.

According to the rules of the palace, the concubine had to go to see the queen after going to bed, but since Jiang Xiyue entered the palace, the queen declared that she was ill every day, and she didn't see anyone, and she was exempted from asking for peace every day.

Therefore, until today, Jiang Xiyue has never seen Queen Hu and other concubines.

Shen Fengxu smiled lightly and said: "In this case, you might as well talk about things related to Concubine Min, Xiaoyi will naturally look up and see Concubine Min in the future, so it's better to know more." ”

But Shen Fengxu asked this, but Zhu Cui's eyes condensed slightly, looked at Shen Fengxu, and said, "What the maid heard is just some rumors, and it is not true. ”
