Liu Zhaoyuan sent the emperor away, until the figure of the master and servant disappeared far into the night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info returned to the palace and changed into dance clothes.

Zi Mo waited for her to change into her bedclothes, looked at the young lady with a cold face, and stopped talking. Now that the young lady acts, even herself, she often can't figure out her thoughts.

Seeing that she was confused, Liu Zhaoyuan raised her eyes and smiled, and said, "If you have anything to say, just ask." In this palace, I only have you. ”

"Miss, you know that today is fifteen. After planning for so long, why do you want to choose today?" When only the two of them were there, Zi Mo still used the old name.

"It's because I know. A-Niang said that for men, what they can't get is easier to worry about. It's a pity that I forgot these words before, and I planted them in a hot head. What if I succeed in sleeping today? It is not easy for the emperor to feel a little fresh, and at most it will be hot for a few days. I'm not new anymore, after all. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoyuan sighed lightly again and said, "Besides, use this body as a tool to compete for favor." This kind of thing, if it can be delayed by one day, it will be one day. ”

In her heart, in the past six months, she has lost her feelings for Emperor Qinglong. But she still has to be attached to the emperor, avenge her children and seek benefits for her family, this kind of false love makes her sick, but she has to continue acting.

It is now three o'clock, the night is as cold as water, and the palace wall is deserted. Only the stone lions guarding the palace gate remained, as if listening to the palace's long past.

At this time, Qingzhuyuan was just about to be locked, and an eight or nine-year-old girl came from outside and knocked on the courtyard door.

The mother-in-law who guarded the door said impatiently: "The door is about to be locked, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Although the maid was young, she was very clever, and she hurriedly said: "This mother-in-law, I really have something urgent to find Miss Xu." Excuse me, just say that it has something to do with tomorrow's trip, and Miss Xu will definitely see me. ”

The mother-in-law also knew that the old lady and the eldest lady were going to Dali Temple tomorrow, and when she heard the words, she didn't dare to delay anymore and was busy going to the ceremony.

Xu Wanzhen had just finished taking a medicinal bath and was ready to rest. I heard that the mother-in-law reported outside the door, and asked Sang Zi to bring the little maid in. Pondering by yourself, what will happen to tomorrow's trip?

The little maid came in behind Sang Zi, gave a proper salute, and said crisply: "Slave Wu'er, the cousin of Du Caizhi, the manager of the corridor, is now doing some sprinkling and sweeping in the 'Songtao Courtyard', and I have seen Miss Xu." In a few words, her origin is clearly explained.

Xu Wan was really happy, this little girl was very interesting, and asked: "Then you are not in Songtao Courtyard at this time, what are you doing here, are you not afraid that you will not be able to go back?" There is still a quarter of an hour, that is, Hai Shi. At that time, the courtyards were locked, and Wu'er could not return to the "Songtao Courtyard". If it is the master, naturally someone will keep the door, such a little maid must not be able to do it.

"Back to Miss Xu, Wu'er came to be entrusted by her cousin. Thanks to Miss Xu's concern, Wu'er does not live in 'Songtao Courtyard' now, and lives in the back alley with her father. ”

"Oh, what did your cousin ask you to do?"

"Today, my cousin noticed that a few horses were sick and wrong. After checking it, I found that some grooms mistakenly put moldy forage into the manger, and the horses ate their stomachs. Because Xu Le'an came to explain, Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were going to use a carriage tomorrow, so they called a veterinarian to come and see, thinking that they couldn't delay tomorrow's trip. But just now my cousin came to me and said that these horses will definitely not be used tomorrow, at least for a day or two. He couldn't go into the backyard, so he could only ask me to ask Miss Xu for his guilt. After Wu'er finished talking and explained the whole story, he lowered his head and prepared to listen to the training.

Xu Wanzhen listened quietly, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, I know." Go down. ”

Wu'er looked up in surprise, she accepted Du Caizhi's errand, and she was ready to be trained. Unexpectedly, this Miss Xu let her go gently. But isn't that better? Pressed the doubts in my heart, said goodbye and left.

Sang Zi said angrily: "Miss, you just let her go like this? There is no carriage available tomorrow, how is this good?"

Xu Wanzhen said: "Leave her behind, or punish her, there will be a horse tomorrow?"

Sang Zi choked and said, "No." ”

"In that case, then why bother a little girl? She came to pass on the words, but she didn't do it. Xu Wanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, where must the Xu family be, which master of the Tu family is in the way, right? Looking at this handwriting, it doesn't look like the Lin family's doing, let alone the innocent aunt of the "Hanmei Courtyard". I don't know if it was the Li family or the Yan family, but it was just these two families. The scope is delineated, and this matter is not difficult to investigate.

This Tu family is really going forward and making trouble for the Xu family. Xu Wan said sincerely: "Really my Xu family is a soft persimmon? When these days pass, we must return the favor, otherwise we will have to make inches. ”

Sang Zi hurriedly said, "Miss, what should we do now? This is the first thing the old lady ordered. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled suddenly and said, "This Du Caizhi is a talent. Not only did he do what the master wanted, but he also pinched the point to tell me that he should not offend at both ends. In that case, it has to fall on him. ”

Sang Zi was confused and asked, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

"Find your mother-in-law to send a message to Xu Le'an, and ask him to go to the corridor to find Du Caizhi tomorrow. said that he knew that the Tu family's horses had bad stomachs and couldn't pull the cart. Let Du Caizhi help and borrow a few horses from the academy, and we will borrow them tomorrow. If Du Caizhi can't find horses, the Xu family has brought a veterinarian, so you might as well try those horses, why are they sick?" Xu Wanzhen ordered.

"When did we bring the veterinarian?" Sang Zi was suspicious. But Xu Wanzhen's order, she still carried it out to the letter.

The next day, at midnight, it was dark.

Du Caizhi yawned and went to the door of the stable, about to open the lock. Seeing a person standing in the dark next to the door, he was startled, and the key fell to the ground with a "bang".

The man helped him pick up the key, and came over with a smile and said, "Brother Du, it's my little brother." ”

Du Caizhi looked at it, came back to his senses, and said, "It turned out to be you, it scared me." ”

Xu Le'an said with a smile: "Last night, the eldest lady sent someone to say that she knew that the horses here were sick in Brother Du. ”

Du Caizhi waved his hand weakly and said, "It's good to know, don't embarrass me." I just can't help. ”

"The eldest lady said, please help, go to the academy next door to borrow a few horses. Brother Du is in charge, and he must be very familiar with the next door. ”

Du Caizhi hurriedly said: "Where do you dare to be the eldest lady." It's just that the academy is busy, and there are arrangements every day. If I borrow it now, it may not borrow me. He finally came up with such an idea, so that Cui Sleeve could not only give the two young ladies Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen an errand, but also pinched the time to tell Miss Xu yesterday that his sister could not be involved. At present, if he comes forward and borrows a horse from the academy, I am afraid that the two young ladies of the Tu family will send fire to him. Therefore, he was extremely unwilling.

Hearing him say this, Xu Le'an didn't take it to heart, but said: "The eldest lady of our family also said that if Brother Du refuses, the Xu family has a veterinarian." Why do these well-behaved horses suddenly fall ill?" )
