26. Chapter XXVI
Xiao Yan instinctively turned her head to the side, dodged Gao Fang's waving arm, and kept reminding herself to be patient for the time being, so that she could better complete the task assigned to her by the system. Xiao Yan finally managed to suppress the surging anger in her heart, temporarily dispelled the idea of fighting back, showed a decent smile on her face, and made a full blessing gift to Gao Fang very well-behaved but not humble, and explained to Gao in a calm tone: "The concubine asks the imperial concubine Niangniang to say goodbye." I don't know where the concubine offended the imperial concubine Niangniang, so she provoked the concubine to punish the concubine herself. ”
Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue hurriedly knelt behind Xiao Yan and saluted Gao Fang, and at the same time paid attention to Gao Fang's every move, for fear that she would order someone to attack again and hurt Xiao Guiren, whom they were ordered to protect.
Although Xiao Yan respectfully saluted Gao Fang, it made Gao Fang even more annoyed, and reprimanded sharply: "This palace originally thought that you were just a fox kung fu that was confused by the master, but I didn't expect you to dare to be so frustrating to engrave the birth date of this palace on the wooden figure, and use witchcraft to murder this palace and the little elder brother in the womb of this palace." Now that there is human and material evidence, do you still have to quibble? ”
Xiao Yan pursed her thin lips, secretly thinking in her heart that if the witchcraft was so easy to use, she would have to learn to use it well. After she finishes her studies, the first thing she has to deal with is the cute and useless system that causes trouble, and the second one has to deal with the Qianlong scum, an incomparably long-lived merry man. If she can successfully get rid of these two guys, she can go out of the palace at ease and live her own little life in the sea and sky, why should she continue to stay in the harem and discuss and hone various palace fighting skills with this group of concubines and concubines?
Although Xiao Yan slandered Gao Fang in her heart, the number of paragraphs used to frame her was too low, this is simply a rotten episode in the palace fighting drama, right? However, Xiao Yan also knew that only the ancient people like Qianlong still believed in such witch Gu harming people, and even believed in the effect and power of witch Gu harming people. It seems that if this matter is not handled properly in time, it will really cause her some trouble!
Xiao Yan smiled and explained respectfully: "The concubine has been in the palace for a short time, and the only people who are familiar with the palace are the three people who are familiar with the palace, such as the waiter, Qiulan and Qiuyue. Moreover, when the concubine entered the palace, it was only a small promise, and now she is just a little nobleman without a title. And Niangniang has already been canonized as the imperial concubine by the emperor, and her identity is enough to make the concubine out of reach. How could the concubine be so self-conscious, risking being punished by the emperor to murder the mother and the dragon fetus in the mother's womb? ”
Qiulan and Qiuyue are still quietly guarding Xiao Yan's side, the two of them, as secret guards, know that no matter whether Xiao Guiren is really as the imperial concubine said, intending to murder the imperial concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb with witchcraft, as long as the emperor has not convicted Xiao Guiren, they must do their duty to protect Xiao Guiren and the dragon fetus in her womb safely, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty, at least they will be severely punished by the emperor, and at worst they will even lose their lives, so the two have not wavered in their determination to protect Xiao Yan because of Gao Fang's accusations.
Gao Fang narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Yan in front of her. This is the first time that Gao Fang has carefully watched Xiao Yan's appearance so closely, although Gao Fang is unwilling, he has to admit that even if Xiao Yan is under the sun, a pretty hibiscus face that has not been powdered because she is pregnant is still amazingly beautiful, and even the most picky person is difficult to find the slightest flaw on it. It can be seen that this Xiao Guiren is indeed a rare beauty, and he does have the capital to favor the harem.
Gao Fang felt upset and irritable, but also felt that the abdominal pain that had persisted in recent days had been getting worse, and then thinking about Qianlong's unusual grace and attention to Xiao Yan since Xiao Yan was pregnant, Gao Fang couldn't help but feel even more unbearable abdominal pain, and hated the dragon birthmark in Xiao Yan's womb in his heart, and a trace of vicious intent flashed in his eyes, which strengthened his previous determination.
Gao Fang sneered, stroked the gold-inlaid white jade armor cover on his finger, and sneered: "Xiao Guiren is really such a big shelf!" Thanks to the queen's mother, she often praises you for your rules and etiquette, if it is really better to hear than to see, this palace can be regarded as an eye-opener. It turns out that Xiao Guiren is so obedient? Not only did he refuse to admit his guilt and quibble, but he also dared to avoid the lessons and punishments of the palace? Who gave you such the audacity to dare to commit the following crimes regardless of dignity and inferiority! ”
Xiao Yan's face became more and more smiling like a spring breeze, and she explained without humility or arrogance: "The imperial concubine has misunderstood, the concubine is for the sake of the mother, in order to protect the good reputation of the mother's benevolence and kindness, so she turned her head sideways just now to avoid the arm waved by the mother. If it weren't for this, if the concubine was beaten and her cheeks swollen by the maid, and when the emperor saw it later, maybe she would misunderstand the maiden, thinking that the maid was the jealous woman who couldn't tolerate the concubine and was pregnant, and the emperor was discouraged and disappointed by the maid, and even gradually became angry with the maid, wouldn't it be the fault of the concubine? ”
Xiao Yan's words of elimination and sneering stabbed Gao Fang's heart painfully, and he only felt a surge of anger rushing to the top of his head, and angrily reprimanded: "Xiao Guiren is really kind, you deliberately used witchcraft in the Chuxiu Palace's Slow Blessing Hall with the intention of murdering the palace and the dragon fetus in the womb of the palace, just by your reversing right and wrong, you still want the palace to thank you?" ”
Gao Fang's eyes swept away, and then pointed at Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue and scolded angrily: "What kind of master is really raising what kind of slave." Look at the two palace maids who are serving next to Xiao Guiren, the etiquette rules are as messy as Xiao Guiren. If you two don't immediately bow to the palace again. When is Hongu satisfied, when can you stop! ”
The imperial concubine has an order, and Qiulan and Qiuyue can only obey. As a result, Qiulan and Qiuyue could only keep repeating the action of kneeling and kowtowing. Since the palace maid saluted the masters and touched the ground with their foreheads, it didn't take long for Qiulan and Qiuyue's foreheads to turn red.
Xiao Yandai frowned slightly, and secretly thought depressedly: This is endless, it's just too much deception! Xiao Yan was about to say something, but suddenly saw Gao Fang smiling at her Mifang, and then suddenly took advantage of the moment when Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and fell into the pool with a miserable scream.
Seeing that someone was about to fall into the water in front of him, Xiao Yan's habit of being trained by the army all the year round and the doctor's duty to save people made Xiao Yan reflexively stretch out her arm to pull Gao Fang's arm, but she didn't expect Gao Fang to seem to be determined to fall into the pool, not only did she not take advantage of Xiao Yan's help to stabilize her body, but deliberately fell backwards hard, causing Xiao Yan's body to fall into the pool with her.
Xiao Yan's mind was racing, and in an instant, she had already understood Gao Fang's plan, and she was annoyed in her heart, in order to protect the two unborn children in her womb, Xiao Yan had already released her right hand that was holding Gao Fang's arm before she could think about it, and tried to stabilize her body, and retreated back in self-preservation.
