Chapter 48: Sour and Astringent
After Helian Xinya had lunch, Yuan Xin's figure had not appeared for a long time, so she simply didn't wait any longer, got up and walked towards the inner hall, intending to take a nap
Since the last poisoning, her body has been much weaker than before, the only thing that is fortunate is that those who plotted against her have not reappeared these days, whether they are secretly planning something or if there is some other reason to tell them to stop, it still makes her breathe a sigh of relief for the time being
After taking a nap, she simply freshened up, walked to the rhombic mirror and sat down, and Mo Lan began to comb her hair
"Is the emperor still not here?" she asked casually, carefully selecting the jewelry in the makeup
"The emperor has never come"
"Is it," Helian Xinya muttered strangely, she didn't expect Yuan Xin to break her word, pouted, and didn't think much about it, so she picked a jade hairpin and handed it to Mo Lan
"Niangniang Zhou Dehai and Zhou's father-in-law are here"
As soon as she combed her hair in a bun, Leling ran in in a hurry, and she was followed by Zhou Dehai
"Isn't this Gonggong Zhou, how did you think of me in Huaqing Palace, we didn't just meet in the morning," Helian Xinya saw him sharp-eyed, remembering that he stopped her in the imperial study this morning, and couldn't help but tease him
Zhou Dehai heard the ridicule in her words, the muscles on his face jumped suddenly, and he sweated with a smiling face: "Knock on Concubine Jin, Niangniang, Niangniang is really funny, the old slave is bold, and he doesn't dare to be busy in front of Niangniang."
Helian Xinya turned around and continued to look in the mirror, glancing at him unhurriedly, "Say, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that she was finally willing to let him go, Zhou Dehai breathed a long sigh of relief, cleared his throat, and got down to business: "Hui Niangniang is such an old slave, this trip is on the order of the emperor, and I have invited Concubine Jin to move to Zhongcui Palace."
Zhong Cui Palace, Helian was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that in the past, she had never heard of any concubine who lived in Zhong Cui Palace, presumably now she must have lived in that "cold girl"
Standing up from the seat, her eyes flashed, "This palace is going to ask Gonggong Zhou to lead the way."
Now she's going to meet the mysterious "cold girl"
Zhongcui Palace
The golden glazed tiles are slightly dazzling in the dazzling sunlight, the phoenix is about to fly on the cornices carved from sandalwood, the floating windows carved from the green tiles, the wall panels made of jade Helian Xinya and Mo Lan stood still in front of the green jade steps, she tilted her head and looked, she thought that Mo Lan's eyes would show amazement, she didn't want to be quite calm
It is also much more expensive than Huaqing Palace, but Mo Lan is also an old man of the Helian family, and there should be no less palaces and mansions than the palaces
"Ahem, cough ......" Zhou Dehai behind saw that the two of them didn't move for a long time, and deliberately coughed a few times, "Concubine Jin, you can go in"
Helian Xinya glanced at him coldly when she heard this, and then walked into the palace gate
As soon as she entered, she saw a familiar figure, it was Fang Yuyi, who she had just seen in the morning, and a woman in a crimson dress standing beside her - it was Mu Luorou
Not only her, but even Concubine Fang and Mu Luorou, who didn't see the end of the dragon, also came, Helian Xinya couldn't help but be slightly shocked in her heart, this cold girl is really a big show
"Sister Concubine Jin is here," Fang Yuyi inadvertently saw her nodding at her, the corners of her mouth pulled into a polite smile, hearing this, Mu Luorou was stunned for a moment, and then reacted well, owing her body obediently, and saluting her, "Sister Jin, Sister Jin'an" The jewel behind her changed slightly when she saw her, and her heart hung her head lower
Mu Xinya, who had been bullied and abused by her in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, has now become Concubine Jin, and her position is higher than that of her master, can she not be weak-hearted, but what she doesn't know is that Helian Xinya in front of her doesn't know her at all
"Sister Fang, a noble person," Helian Xinya chuckled, walked up to them, and her eyes inadvertently swept over the two of them, Mu Luorou today is obviously different, from the weak red dress demon / bright pale face when she first entered the palace, many tender lips and red lips, the whole person looks both spiritual and lovely
As long as she saw her face, she couldn't help but remember that day when she peeked at her and Yuan Xin in Accord Xuan...... Helian Xinya's cheeks were slightly hot, and she made up for it in an instant, and then quickly shook her head and deliberately swept around, except for them, there were no other people in this huge Zhongcui Palace
"Sister Fang, why didn't she see the master of Zhong Cui Palace," she asked suspiciously
As soon as the words fell, Mu Luorou's expression became a little unnatural, and the corners of her lips were not silent, Helian Xinya keenly captured this, and then turned her inquiring gaze to Fang Yuyi
Fang Yuyi nodded first, and smiled bitterly, "Actually, this is the case, the identity of the person who lives in Zhongcui Palace is the same as the three of you and me, and it is the same as saying that it is different."
"Oh," Helian Xinya raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Sister, what do you say," Mu Luorou also looked at Fang Yuyi suspiciously, and it seemed that she didn't know the inside story like her
"In terms of identity, she is a princess who has not yet been named, but her husband is someone else"
"Isn't she the emperor's concubine," Mu Luorou interrupted her in surprise
Fang Yuyi, who was suddenly interrupted, frowned slightly, and her eyes swept lightly over Mu Luorou's face, although she didn't blame her on the surface, Mu Luorou still understood that she was rude and bit her lip embarrassedly
After a pause, Fang Yuyi retracted her gaze and continued to say slowly: "What Rou Guiren said is right, she is indeed not the emperor's concubine, but this time, from the emperor specially ordered the three of us to take care of her, it can also be seen that she has an extraordinary status, and I hope that the two younger sisters will understand what the sister means."
What else can it mean that this girl surnamed Leng is very amazing, and she is called the princess by Fang Yuyi, but she is not Yuan Xin, is it
Helian Xinya's heart suddenly swelled up with a bad feeling, surnamed Leng, the person she has seen really has a woman surnamed Leng
No, could it be that this cold girl was the one who took her to see Dugu that day......
"She is the fiancée of the Dugu King of the Desert, Condensation Frost," Fang Yuyi said word by word with burning eyes, in fact, she also concealed one point, that is, this Dugu Princess is still the eldest lady of the Leng family, and the head of the Leng family
Fiancée Condensation Cream......
Mu Luorou breathed a long sigh of relief, but Helian Xinya heard her heartbeat skip a beat, and a thick incomprehension was accumulated in her chest, it turned out that Dugu entered the palace this morning just for this matter, but why did he send her to the palace, not to mention the discussion, and he didn't even notify her in advance
"Dugu, Dugu, why did King Dugu send her into the palace," she asked pretending to be disapproving, he sent his "princess" into the palace with a good look, there should always be a high-sounding reason, otherwise Yuan Xin would inevitably be suspicious
"Because she is suffering from a serious illness and has been delirious, King Dugu's beloved wife is eager to ask for help, my name, the emperor has promised to find a famous doctor to treat her, and at the same time, he has also ordered us to let a few concubines help take care of her daily life, after all, the other party is the princess of the Dugu King of the desert, and I hope that my sisters are willing to condescend to be noble, and take care of them more on weekdays, don't treat people lightly, otherwise it will be spread out, won't King Dugu be held accountable for my name." Fang Yuyi glanced back and forth between the two of her, and said sincerely, this time, the emperor deliberately did not let Leng Die and Xi Guiren come, it was because Leng Die had a strong temperament and Xi Guiren was not from a good background, so he picked the three of them
"In this way, this matter is a major matter related to the government," Mu Luorou asked with wide eyes, and secretly decided in her heart, she must complete this matter well, and must not disappoint the third brother, and then she thought about it again, she suddenly wanted to remember something, and looked at Helian Xinya with a strange expression
If she remembered correctly, her sister was sent by her father to reconcile with the Dugu King of the desert, but unfortunately it ended in failure, and her sister was angry with her father and was driven out of the prime minister's mansion by her father
Now Helian Xinya pretended not to know her, it was difficult for her to pretend not to know Dugu, who had caused her to be kicked out of the house, Zhugen told her a few days ago that he was sure that she was Mu Xinya who fell and did not die, at that time she was still skeptical, and it seemed that in the future, she must also pay attention to observe and see if she is Mu Xinya...... She couldn't tolerate the trouble of her henchmen who spent so much effort at the beginning
"That's right, and as long as Miss Leng's illness is cured, the emperor will marry her and King Dugu, and it will be a big event for the whole world to celebrate at that time," Fang Yuyi nodded and said
Helian Xinya on the other side naturally didn't know the little abacus in Mu Luorou's heart, and she didn't care what Fang Yuyi said again, her heart was holding a sulk, just because Fang Yuyi said before, "love his wife's heart", made her heart feel as uncomfortable as being pricked by dense needles
Last time in the post house, he mentioned to her that he was going to marry Condensation Cream, she thought it was just his angry words, but she didn't expect him to come, and her heart was really sour, so she could only endure the appearance and have to pretend to be indifferent, even Mo Lan looked at her distressedly
"Now please ask the two younger sisters to follow me to the inner hall to visit Miss Leng, it is estimated that she should wake up," Fang Yu glanced at the inner hall, signaled her with her eyes, and then slowly walked towards the inner hall
"Isn't my sister going?"
Mu Luorou just wanted to keep up, and when she saw Helian Xinya, she didn't move for a long time, so she tilted her head and asked strangely
Helian Xinya reacted, pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly, "Go, of course", after speaking, he walked into the inner hall and looked at her back, Mu Luorou's eyes flashed an unknown look, and then he followed slowly
