As for what does it mean that the right minister asked her to give this empty bottle to the young lady later? Red Shadow shook her head and said that she couldn't come up with a reason after racking her brains for a long time.

However, since the right minister is sure that Miss will not refuse the box when she sees this empty bottle, this empty bottle should be of great significance to Miss, right?

Mu Xiaofeng stared at the two-finger-sized glass bottle, his eyes gradually blurred, and his face slowly became strange .......

Because she slanted into the sunlight from an angle and saw a hidden word inside the bottle. And when she wanted to see it more clearly, she took the bottle and approached it, only to find that the word had faded with the daylight.

She stared thoughtfully at the bottle, and many things suddenly came to mind. A lot of things she couldn't figure out before, after seeing this empty bottle. Oh no, it should be said that after she saw the words that gradually faded inside, she slowly figured out the key decision.

"Original...... That time, I saved him twice, and I didn't intend to save myself once. ”

She held the bottle in her hand, her eyes slowly melting into a faint smoke that was hard to see.

Hongying looked at her a little nervously, and seeing that her expression was different, she couldn't help but call softly, "Miss? ”

"Oh, I'm fine." Mu Xiaofeng smiled, and his eyes suddenly returned to his usual clear and shiny, "I took the things." ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "That kid must have said that he would come and retrieve this bottle himself later, right?" ”

Hongying's face was stained with blue and gray, he lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Miss, please punish the slave." ”

Mu Xiaofeng looked at her with a smile, and was silent for a long time before he said seriously, "Red Shadow, I have always admired your ability. ”

Her tone changed, and her tone was still faint, but Hongying listened to the coolness contained in it, and her heart jumped inexplicably.

"However, I appreciate a person's absolute loyalty." She paused, her voice still softly fluttering out of her red lips, "My people don't have to be honest with me in everything, but if her loyalty is mixed with impurities, you should know what people like me can and can't tolerate, right?" ”

She could see that the red shadow was loyal to her, but the well-timed beating was also a reminder to herself.

With proper trust, the people below can do things for her wholeheartedly. Excessive relaxation can turn into indulgence.

Once the line is crossed, the consequence of connivance is to harm others and oneself.

She didn't want anything irreparable to happen in the future.

Whether it's for Red Shadow or herself, there are some consequences that she can't or is willing to bear.

The trembling and panicked emotions on the red shadow's face gradually subsided, she raised her head, looked at the purple-clothed girl firmly and resolutely, and slowly said word by word, "Miss, the slave maid understands. ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded, looked at her and smiled silently.

Some words can be clicked and stopped.

After the red shadow exited the pavilion, she stared at the empty bottle in her hand, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked into a meaningful smile.

Xia Xingshen, it is actually quite expensive for her to pay this price; She glanced at the small, long box on the table, well, she could have accepted it with a clear conscience.

At the beginning of March, the spring is cold. According to the custom, the emperor and empress will gather with civil and military officials and their families of the third rank and above in the palace for a three-day prayer activity.

This is a major event to pray for a year of good weather and peace for the country and the people, so all eligible officials are not allowed to be absent without reason.

And because this is a blessing event, all participants are allowed to eat vegetarian meals twice a day according to the rules during these three days, and they should dress as modestly as possible.

Qingruo was worried that Mu Xiaofeng was cold and hungry, and before entering the palace to participate in the event, she had been trying to make her eat more nutritious things that could fight hunger; and painstakingly sewed a padded close-fitting jacket under her simple outer skirt.

After entering the palace, Mu Xiaofeng realized how justified Qingruo's worries, and fortunately, Qingruo had the foresight to make a close-fitting jacket for her to wear inside.

Blessing activities are carried out separately for men and women, but not by gender or by place. However, they were led by the emperor and empress, and knelt in the square outside the Qinzheng Hall three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.

In the cold wind, I can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, and I kneel three times a day, which is still a long time of three days.

Mu Xiaofeng knelt straight, and his posture with his head hanging was so standard that people couldn't find the slightest mistake.

But the corners of her lowered eyes were faintly full of sarcasm, no wonder the entire square was black and crowded, almost all of them were young people.

Old, who can endure such suffering.

According to the custom, after kneeling, everyone can be separated according to men and women, and each go to the side hall on the east and west sides of the Qinzheng Hall to rest.

Today is the third day of the blessing event, and after the last ritual of the night, they will be able to leave the palace and return home tomorrow.

A person with a noble status like the crown prince naturally doesn't have to rest in the palace with a lot of officials.

However, in order to show that he is close to the shelf, he usually stays in the side hall for a while when he rests during the day.

At present, a group of officials participating in the blessing activities gathered in the east side hall to rest, and everyone chatted in a low voice.

The topic of conversation naturally has nothing to do with political affairs, but when men get together, the topic of conversation can never be separated from women.

Humane, "Phoenix Tower recently came to a good-looking singer, tsk, that singing voice is even more graceful than a lark." ”

Southern Chu is civilized, and it is not opposed to officials entering and leaving these Fengyue places, besides, listening to music and watching operas or something is also conducive to physical and mental pleasure.

Therefore, in the palace, it is not uncommon for these officials to talk about these topics.

The prince's heart moved, thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would also go to the Phoenix Tower to listen to a song.

At this moment, a low voice suddenly floated over.

"Don't ......"

The coquettish and familiar female voice that was full of rejection and welcome suddenly jumped into the prince's ears, and he shook suddenly. The vigilant raised his eyes and quietly glanced at the officials who looked around, but saw that everyone was as if nothing had happened, and continued to talk hotly with each other.

He frowned, pinching his eyebrows and wondering if he was having auditory hallucinations because of the poor rest of the past two days.

"Well, you're so bad, people really don't want it......"

This sentence is clearer and the tone is more coquettish.

The prince's face changed suddenly, and he looked at everyone in the hall suspiciously, but no one showed a look of shock, confusion or curiosity.

He looked around the top of the hall in confusion, and found nothing unusual, but the charming and familiar female voice still sounded intermittently.

After thinking about it, he stood up casually, nodded to the others in the hall, and then walked out of the east side hall slowly.

Looking at the direction in which he went out, it seemed that he was leaving the Qinzheng Palace, but in fact, after he went around outside to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, he quietly went around to the various ** wings behind the main hall.

Because that familiar female voice was none other than his crown princess. Others can pretend to be deaf and dumb when they hear such a voice, but he can't.

If he didn't figure out what was going on with the sound he had just heard, he would be uncomfortable all the time.

After going around to the ** wing room at the back, he estimated that the voice he heard just now came from that room, and then sneaked closer quietly through the cover of the pillars, but he did not rush over, but first hid in the dark and looked.

This look was a bit surprising, because there were no palace people guarding the outside of the wing, and the door was just closed.

But then he thought about it, and he was relieved again.

In order to show frugality and simplicity, his crown princess did not bring any maidservants with him when she entered the palace.

At this time, the sound of the red-faced moan sounded in my ears again.

The prince had already quietly stood at the door, listening to the familiar sound inside, and the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head in an instant.

Anyone who is a man, who still has a little bit of blood, can't bear this shame at this time.

What's more, he is a dignified prince of the dynasty and the prince of a country.

Being cuckolded in front of someone, he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

As the blood rushed up, his face gloomy, and his eyes were as red as fire as he stared at the door. If the angry eyes could burn the door open, the closed door must have been burned open by his eyes.

At this time, where is the prince still sensible. He gritted his teeth, strode forward, and slashed the door with both palms, and with a "bang", the closed door could not bear his rough methods, and immediately fell crookedly inside.

By this time, anger had taken over his whole body, and he could not hear or even see anything other than the unbearable laughter inside.

As soon as the door broke, he immediately burst into the room in a rage.

However, as soon as he was halfway through this step, he was stunned by what he saw.

Two or three disheveled women, obviously dressed as concubines, were lying down on their stomachs, and they were lying on top of a man on either side, trying to make all kinds of pleasing and flattering movements to provoke the man's interest.

Although the three women had their backs to the crown prince, he could clearly tell at a glance that they were not the crown princesses.

And the face of the man who was blocked by their delicate bodies—the prince, when he saw that cold and majestic face, wished that he had never been here.

The man, who was in a mood to be teased by several women, was suddenly interrupted rudely and boldly, and he squinted when he saw the prince's handsome face that was slightly stunned and slightly frightened.

In the eyes full of cold and cruel anger, two invisible and cold blade-like gazes immediately shot out, which fell coldly and accurately on the prince's face, and then the cold and ruthless spit out a word from the gap between his teeth domineering and cold, "Get out!" ”

When the prince heard this cold voice with a strong hatred, his face changed drastically, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble
