Chapter 53: Hangover

Licorice stuck out her tongue after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "It's the slave's fault, the slave doesn't think about things well." ”

Xiao Wanyao felt that it didn't matter, and just said to herself: "It's just that I drank too much, at best, it was uncomfortable for a few days, so I didn't care." ”

"And ......," Licorice suddenly remembered what was going on, "Early in the morning, the Holy Lord sent someone to ask if the second lady is feeling better?" ”

Xiao Wanyao felt a little irritable after hearing this, and her good mood in the morning was gone, so she said: "You go and say, the weather has been hot and cold recently, and your second lady has a bad cough, so it is not appropriate to face the saint." ”

Licorice was quite worried about this, she was afraid that Xiao Wanyao would provoke Tang Siqi with a momentary will.

Xiao Wanyao also saw Licorice's concern, her voice softened, and said, "Go and let Xiao Zhuangzi talk back first, and I'll talk to you when you come back." ”

Licorice nodded, and when she came back, Xiao Wanyao had already personally brought breakfast, and she asked Licorice to sit down and eat it.

Xiao Wanyao pondered for a moment, but decided to tell SΓΉ Licorice some of her own thoughts: "Licorice, do you know why I didn't accept the canonization?" ”

Licorice lowered her eyes, and there were many conjectures in her heart, but in the end she shook her head silently, because she didn't know that since YiqiΔ“ was already doomed, what else could Xiao Wanyao do? All she can do is postpone the date of canonization again and again, and if she refuses to accept her fate, won't she still have to accept this reality in the end?

What Xiao Wanyao is enjoying is just a short-term illusion......

Xiao Wanyao didn't blame her, after all, this was something that others couldn't think of: "Licorice, I'm buying time for myself, I want to leave the palace and find a free life that belongs to me." ”

Licorice was surprised when she heard this, her eyes widened and she asked, "Second Miss, how is this possible?" The lord said,   The whole world is not the king's land, where can the second lady go? How could the Holy One allow it? ”

Xiao Wanyao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "This is what I want to say, why have I been delaying time, I have a chance, as long as I grasp that 'opportunity', I am eighty percent sure that I can leave ......"

"So...... Second Miss, what exactly do you mean by 'opportunity'? Licorice asked.

Xiao Wanyao hesitated for a moment and said: "It's actually okay to sue you, but if you say it and it is heard by others, it will be a big rebellion, licorice, the reason why I sue you is because the end of summer this year is when my 'opportunity' comes, do you want to go with me?" ”

Licorice did not change her sorrowful face and said: "If the second miss is willing, licorice is naturally willing to follow the second miss, but just now the second miss said, you are eighty percent sure, if you take the slave and maid together, will it reduce the second miss's chance of success?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled with relief, Licorice was still thinking about her, so she replied: "No, don't worry, as long as I am free, you can leave, you are not a palace maid in the first place, I will ask the Holy Lord for my life now, send you out, and you will be safe." ”

Licorice asked: "Even if the slave maid leaves, she will have to go with the second miss, and it is impossible to leave the second miss alone in the palace...... You said that you are eighty percent sure, then there is still two percent of the danger, the slave and maid still stay with you, and can take care of you, and the slave and maid are unwilling to leave. ”

Xiao Wanyao repeatedly persuaded licorice, but licorice decisively refused, she said to Xiao Wanyao firmly: "Second Miss needless to say, the slave will not leave in advance now, if the second miss believes in the slave and maid, she will sue the slave and the maid, no matter what, the licorice will not let the second miss fight alone." ”

Xiao Wanyao had to sigh that she was so good to Tsing Yi in her previous life, but in the end, Tsing Yi betrayed her; And in this life, she is not so good to licorice, but licorice will never abandon her.

"Okay, licorice, you stay close to me, and I will tell you all my decisions." Xiao Wanyao finally made up her mind and told her the "opportunity" she had been waiting for.

The copper furnace in the side hall of the Jiaofang Hall was burning with a sweet aroma, Xue Tianao lay on the bed, drank wine all night, he fell asleep after returning to the palace, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.

As soon as Xue Tianao sat up, the little eunuch hurriedly brought a bowl of hangover medicine, Xue Tianao put it under his nose and sniffed it before pushing it away in disgust.

"What the hell is this! Young Master Ben's brain hurts just by smelling it! End walk, end go! Or I'll splash you in the face! Xue Tianao angrily pushed away the little eunuch, and the hangover medicine sprinkled the little eunuch all over his body, but the little eunuch didn't dare to provoke Xue Tianao, so he quickly got up and retreated.

Xue Qingyi happened to walk to the door, and when he saw the little eunuch who was serving Xue Tianao, the wolf bèi, coming out, he knew that Xue Tianao must be losing his temper again.

"What's going on here?" Xue Qingyi frowned slightly and asked.

"Back to the queen's mother, just now the young master woke up and said that he had a headache, and the servant brought the sobering soup, but the young master didn't like it to drink, so he ......" the little eunuch replied cautiously.

"Chunhua, go and ask Miss Xiao Er to prepare some sobering soup, and ask that the taste should not be unpleasant, the imperial doctor has no ability to do this, but Miss Xiao Er may not be able to, you go to her and ask for it, she won't give it, and Jiaofang Hall can't always raise her for nothing." Xue Qingyi said to Aunt Chunhua, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

Xue Qingyi entered the side hall to appease Xue Tianao, and Aunt Chunhua hurriedly ran to the other courtyard to find Xiao Wanyao.

After listening to Aunt Chunhua's narration, Xiao Wanyao waved her hand at her and said with a smile: "Auntie is looking for the wrong person!" Wan Yao is indeed a little ambiguous, but 'there is a specialization in the art industry', sobering medicine or something, Wan Yao really can't help it! ”

Now that Aunt Chunhua is not as polite as she used to be, she said loudly: "The queen mother said, Miss Xiao Er will definitely be able to do it, just if you are willing or not, Miss Xiao Er, you can do it!" ”

Xiao Wanyao sneered, daring to love Xue Qingyi by sending Aunt Chunhua here to play tricks today, so how did she fulfill Xue Qingyi's wishes?

"Aunt Chunhua came into the house and waited, I asked Licorice to help me prepare, and I will bring you sobering medicine for Aunt Hou later, don't be impatient." Xiao Wanyao changed her previous attitude and agreed to her lightly.

Aunt Chunhua was quite proud of this, and sat there waiting for Xiao Wanyao to come back.

Xiao Wanyao went to the small kitchen and whispered to licorice: "You go and boil a bowl of water and serve it to Chunhua, and let her bring it back for Xue Tianao to drink, but she asked you what it is, and you have to say that you don't know." ”

Although Licorice was puzzled, she also blinked and said, "The slave listens to Miss." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled with satisfaction, and went back to the back room to eat snacks without hurrying.

After a long time, Licorice held a celadon bowl, Licorice presented it to Chunhua, and said respectfully: "Aunt Chunhua, the sobering medicine is here, hurry up and send it to Xue Gongzi!" ”

Aunt Chunhua looked at the crystal clear liquid in the celadon bowl and was deeply suspicious: "What is this?" It can't be water, right!? ”

Licorice said: "This is a sobering medicine, it was said by the second lady, I don't know the other licorice, aunt go quickly!" ”

Although Aunt Chunhua has doubts, but since it was Xiao Wanyao who said it, it has nothing to do with her for so long, anyway, she came here just to get medicine, and she doesn't need to be responsible for other things, if something goes wrong, it's better, the queen is worried that there is no reason to teach her a good lesson!

"Okay, you can take care of your things, and I'll take care of it." After Aunt Chunhua finished speaking, she asked the accompanying palace maid to take the "medicine" and leave the courtyard.

"Second Miss, Aunt Chunhua and they are gone, can you sue the slaves, why do you want to take a bowl of water to fool them?" Licorice said as she returned to the back room.

"What do you mean 'fooling'?" Xiao Wanyao closed the medical book, raised her eyes to look at the licorice, and said, "Xue Tianao's kind of drunken gentleman who is soaked in a wine vat can have a headache because he drank a little wine?" It's not that he pretended to fool Xue Qingyi, or Xue Qingyi found a reason to frame me, besides, water is originally a good medicine for hangover, and I didn't fool it. ”

Licorice understands half of it now, and the rest can only be understood by Xiao Wanyao when she says it.

"It's just to send sobering medicine to Xue Gongzi, how can the queen use this to frame the second lady?" That's what licorice doesn't understand.

"Is this ......" Xiao Wanyao smiled with a hint of bitterness, "The marriage contract between me and Xue Tianao should be the most uncomfortable place in the heart of the saint!?" Although he didn't mention it, this man's heart was not so broad...... If he knew that I had sent Xue Tianao a sobering pill, I was afraid that when the news reached the ears of the saint, it would change its taste, and the saint would naturally be unhappy when he heard it. ”

Licorice asked again: "But the queen mother is Xue Gongzi's own sister, doesn't she also harm her younger brother by doing this?" In order to squeeze out the second lady, will the queen mother sacrifice too much if she does this? ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "She doesn't have to sacrifice her younger brother, because the medicine was given by me on my own initiative, Xue Tianao didn't know, he didn't know that I was 'worried about him', the saint would only be annoyed that I didn't want to be a concubine The reason why I didn't want to be a concubine was that there were other men in my heart, but for Xue Tianao, an 'innocent' person, at most, I just drove him home, and I didn't want to see him for a while, although his father and my father were both prime ministers, but the 'gold content' of this prime minister was different." ”

Licorice has already understood everything when she hears this, she has always thought that the queen mother wants to kill the second lady is fierce and vigorous, but she didn't expect it to be some small things, these things may not be seen at a glance, but if you are not careful, it will cause a lot of trouble, her frame-up, just like a light rain in spring, falls on people's bodies so that you don't have too obvious feelings, but if you are not careful, you will catch fire.

Licorice knew for the first time that it turned out that harming people could be invisible, and the queen's methods seemed harmless, but in fact they were even more unguardable.

"The hearts of people in this palace are unpredictable, although I don't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but how many people living in this harem are 'gentlemen'?" Xiao Wanyao said this to licorice, and it seemed to be saying it to herself. I1483
