Zhou Mingshan was shocked, her body shook, and her raised foot staggered and almost tripped on the threshold and fell out.

She struggled to hold her body steady, clenching her fists tightly so that her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.

It wasn't until a tingling pain came that she replied, "No, why is Daddy asking this?"

The voice was humming, as if there was an echo in an open space.

Zhou Mingshan stood at the door woodenly, his mind also blank.

She didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and she forgot what her father had just asked.

The room was quiet, and it was obviously May weather, but she felt a chill hit her.

After a long time, my father did not answer.

Zhou Mingshan thought he hadn't heard, but she didn't dare to ask or look back.

After a long time, just when she thought that Fang Cai's matter was her hallucination, Zhou Zecai said, "Oh, it's okay, just ask casually, you go back and rest early!"

Zhou Mingshan answered, staggered back to the backyard, and almost tripped over the threshold when he entered the door.

"Girl, be careful!" said Duixiang and grabbed her.

She looked up and smiled at the pile of incense.

Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were blank, the incense was almost frightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Mingshan patted Dui Xiang's arm, "It's okay, help me in first!"

Holding on to the pile of incense, Zhou Mingshan walked with one shallow foot, as if stepping on cotton.

When she finally sat down in her chair, she let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, she felt that she was sweating behind her, her clothes were sticky and uncomfortable, and she felt a feeling of cold soaking.

She picked up the teacup on the table and drank three cups of hot tea in a row before she felt warmth on her body.

Dui Xiang kept staring at her, and when she saw her like this, the worry on her face was even worse, and she couldn't help but ask angrily, "Girl." You, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slaves!"

Zhou Mingshan swallowed the tea, settled down, and then smiled. "It's okay, it's just that on the way back, I was scared by a wild cat that came from nowhere, don't make a fuss!"

"Really?" Duxiang seemed to be a little skeptical when he heard this, and looked at her again before he said indignantly. "Who followed the girl, why didn't you look at the road?"

Zhou Mingshan froze for a moment and glanced at Dui Xiang, "Don't blame them, I let them come back first after seeing that they were only a few steps away!" paused, "Don't talk about this, where is Hongyun, let her come over." ”

Seeing that she seemed to have recovered to normal, and she didn't want to say any more, the pile of incense had to be revealed. But I decided to go back and teach the new little girls the rules.

"Hongyun, the slave and maid are still there, and they should be there, so the slave and maid will go and call her. ”

With that, he turned and went out.

Zhou Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that she doesn't want to sue Sù Heixiang, but she can't say anything about it at all.

Thinking of the smell of ambergris that she smelled in the palace that day, she felt bitter in her mouth.

That special fragrance, which she is very familiar with, is exactly the only male master in the palace, and the current Emperor Xianqing is used to.

I don't know if it's because her sense of smell is too sensitive or if Bai Yu is too dull. At that time, as soon as she smelled the smell, she knew that the emperor was coming, and immediately hurriedly pulled Bai Yu and ran, for fear that there would be an accident if she was one step late.

But how did my father know?

Since he would ask so. Obviously heard something, otherwise it wouldn't be untargeted.

Don't......

Zhou Mingshan's back instantly soaked in a cold sweat, and she collapsed softly on the back of the chair.

She was a little afraid to think about that possibility.

Since ancient times, there have been many men who have been romantic, and Emperor Xianqing is no exception, not to mention that he is also the emperor above tens of thousands of people.

Although he likes to pamper Concubine Yue, he is not small in interest in other women in the harem.

Although he has not had a large-scale draft since he ascended the throne in these years. But in addition to the four or five old people in the previous mansion, the concubines in the harem have also increased a lot, there are palace maids who are lucky for a while, there are also folk girls who are lucky to be brought back from the trip, and of course, there are official women selected by the queen mother from the minister's family because of his lack of heirs.

She has never dared to enter the palace, first, for fear of colliding with other noble masters, and secondly, for fear of running into this one.

Fortunately, I spent the first few days smoothly, but I didn't want to bump into it that day.

But it was the back garden of Shoukang Palace, and she thought about it for a long time, and felt that in addition to being stuffy in the house, it was the safest place, but she couldn't avoid it if she didn't want to.

Also, he is the emperor, and it is not all up to him to go wherever he wants, who can stop him?

Zhou Mingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fortunately, she is now married.

Although I stumbled, I could at least put most of my heart.

She suddenly remembered the hint of Bai Yu entering the palace today and the strange attitude of the concubine, and she was suddenly shocked again.

Is this what Bai Yu pointed to?

In other words, she also mentioned it to the concubine Niangniang, so the concubine Niangniang deliberately did not let her continue to enter the palace, after all, the matter of her marriage was clear to the concubine Niangniang.

Zhou Mingshan smiled bitterly twice.

This is really, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.

Just as he was upset, the voice of Hongyun suddenly came from outside, "Girl, the slave is back." ”

Zhou Mingshan settled down and sat up.

When Hongyun came in, she immediately ordered, "You hurry up and go to your eldest brother and ask him if my father has had anything to do with him in the past two days?"

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Hongyun didn't say much, and hurried out after answering.

Zhou Mingshan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

This is the method that Dr. Zhang taught her, saying that if she feels uncomfortable, she can relieve it.

She tried it a few times, and sure enough, it worked.

Although Hongyun and her eldest brother can't follow the emperor, their father's attitude should be able to touch some of them.

Looking back now, my father's appearance today is really strange, no matter what the reason, she has to plan ahead and prepare in advance.

Within two days, in addition to bringing back Zhou Ze's news to Zhou Mingshan, Hongyun also said another thing.

"Girl, it's crazy outside, saying that Lord Jia is secretly raising this child, just thinking that he will inherit the family business in the future, after all, the eldest son of the Jia family can't be counted on at all. What else do you say that this outer room is the daughter of a criminal official in the imperial court, and Lord Jia is privately accepted as a concubine, which is simply ill-intentioned......"

Hongyun said a lot, but Zhou Mingshan had a feeling that the dust had finally landed.

Like in the previous life, this matter was finally exposed, but the difference is that it seems to be a little later in this life.

However, she soon discovered another question, "What do you say, everyone outside knows?"

Hongyun blinked, as if he didn't understand what was strange about this.

But he still replied, "Yes, I heard my eldest brother say that even those men who rest in the tea shop can say a word or two!"

No, Zhou Mingshan instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It's just a matter of an official ignoring the outer room, and even if the identity of the outer room is suspicious, it is impossible for everyone to know it in such a short period of time.

In this way, there is only one possibility, someone is deliberately spreading these news, and it is targeting the Jia family.

Who is doing this, and for what?

Zhou Mingshan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

In her previous life, she didn't care about these things at all. (To be continued.) )
