Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meeting in the Side Hall
"My sister and Concubine Ren are really sisters, Concubine Ren has been sick for three years, why didn't you take out your thousand-year-old snow ginseng earlier?" The queen said not salty, but it was deliberately aimed at the concubine, it seems that she didn't mind the previous concubine in front of the emperor, but as the queen, she was a little childish with such a mind.
"My sister doesn't know, although the snow ginseng in my sister's palace is a great tonic, but it grows in a bitter cold place, and the medicine is damp and cold, and the concubine is also afraid that the body of the concubine's sister will not be able to stand such a cold tonic." The concubine looked a little embarrassed, but she pulled the topic back with just one sentence and didn't fall behind.
"Sister Guifei means that Concubine Ren can stand it now?" The queen's tone is still not salty, and she can't hear the anger, although she is a little aggressive, but after all, she is the queen's mother, and the emperor is silent, who dares to question it.
Hearing this, the concubine was no longer in response, squinted at the emperor who closed her eyes and recuperated, secretly gritted her silver teeth, and said in a low voice: "What my sister said is that my sister was negligent." ”
Although the concubine is unwilling, she doesn't dare to really offend the queen, especially in front of the emperor, if she really collides with the queen, I am afraid that her position as a concubine will not be guaranteed.
The concubine apologized, but the queen ignored it, turned to Xie Xiaobai and asked, "What's your name?" "Back to the queen, the grass people thank you." Xie Xiaobai saw that the queen asked him, and hurriedly replied with fear.
"Xie Yi ......" the queen thought for a while and said, "You are Xie Guizhi's relative?" ”
Hearing this, the emperor also opened his eyes and looked at him, Xie Yi swallowed his saliva, secretly swept Xie Guizhi, and then responded: "Yes, the grass people are Lord Xie's nephew." ”
"Oh." Seeing that he admitted it, the queen didn't say anything, she looked at Xiao Heng, looked at Xiao Heng from top to bottom, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, her lazy body also sat up slightly, pointed at Xiao Heng and said, "You go and show Concubine Ren." ”
"Yes," Xiao Heng didn't say anything, and after answering, he walked to Concubine Ren's bed, gently put his white and slippery hand on Concubine Ren's veins, and closed his eyes to listen.
Liu Yan was about to secretly wait and see, and at this time, when the palace maid who had served tea to the emperor and princesses retreated and passed by Liu Yan, she coincidentally poured a cup of herbal tea on Liu Yan's robe.
The little palace maid's frightened face was pale, she couldn't say a word for a long time, her face was pale, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"The slave is wrong, the slave is rough, the emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." The little girl is already delicate and cute, and her sobbing is even more touching, even Liu Yan can't bear it.
"Your Majesty, it's the fault of the grass people, please punish the emperor." Liu Yan stepped forward and knelt down to plead, although she was a grass citizen, after all, she was the top three in the medical skills competition, and she would work in the Tai Hospital in the future, and the emperor would not be too strict with herself, but this palace maid is different, the emperor is now worried about the matter of Concubine Ren, and she is likely to be angry with her, so Liu Yan will intercede.
"That's it, let's all go down." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Liu Yan to go down.
The little maid hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, and Liu Yan also thanked her and went out of the dormitory with the little palace maid.
"Thank you Childe, Lan'er thanked Childe." As soon as she got out of the dormitory, the little palace maid hurriedly thanked Liu Yan, and Liu Yan hurriedly waved her hand.
"The girl is polite, she is reckless, and she doesn't do the girl's business." Liu Yan said with a smile.
"Dare to ask Miss Lan'er, do you have a man's coat? I have to change my clothes to face the saint, and I will have to consult Concubine Ren for a while, which is ...... "Liu Yan is a little helpless, it is really a trouble to get her clothes dirty in the harem, except for the eunuchs in the harem, where are there any men, but Liu Yan can't wear the clothes of eunuchs."
"Back to Gongzi, Lan'er will take Gongzi to the side hall first, Gongzi will wait there, and Lan'er will go to get clothes for Gongzi." Lan'er said softly, her tone was delicate, her voice was sweet, her appearance was pure, and she was very pleasing.
"That's very good." Liu Yan responded, and followed Lan'er to the side hall.
"Childe will go in first and wait, and Lan'er will go back when she goes." Walking outside the side hall, Lan'er said goodbye and left, and Liu Yan did not suspect him, so she pushed the door in.
As soon as she pushed the door open, Liu Yan felt that something was wrong, Ren Concubine was ranked as a third-grade concubine, and there were as many as forty-eight palace maids in the palace, and this side hall was only separated from the dormitory by three houses, how could there be no one on duty?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan turned around and was about to leave, when a familiar voice sounded faintly behind her: "It's not stupid, you know that the situation is wrong, do you want to leave?" ”
As soon as Liu Yan turned around, she saw Bai Li Jin in a dark blue court dress, her hands behind her back, her head raised and her eyes squinted at Liu Yan, with a momentum of looking at everything, Liu Yan was slightly stunned, and then shook her head and stepped forward and said, "No, Master Hou, why are you in the side hall of Concubine Ren?" You, you, you ......" Liu Yan was embarrassed to say the following words, she actually wanted to say whether you had a personal relationship with Concubine Ren, but after thinking about it, she felt that for the sake of her life, she should not choose what to say.
"If I hadn't been here today, I'm afraid that just one person would have been able to put some kind of crime on you, so that you can disappear directly." Bai Li Jin snorted coldly, although Liu Yan found that it was not good and wanted to leave, but if someone had a heart to design, where would Liu Yan be allowed to leave?
Hearing this, Liu Yan realized that it was indeed a little strange in the dormitory before, the little palace maid named Lan'er originally served a steady tea that was directly sprinkled when she passed by herself, but at that time, she was very unbearable to see her begging for mercy, so she said to help, but she didn't want to, so she fell into the trap, and the designer seemed to have calculated that he would definitely help, but even if he didn't help, he still had to change his clothes, and he also wanted to come to this side hall.
Liu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Bai Lijin hooked the corners of her lips, and chuckled: "Master Hou wants to find him, and he summons him directly, how did he make such trouble?" ”
"Well, it's not too stupid, you've been hiding for the past three days, the door is not out of the door, it's not easy to find you, and the harem prohibits relatives from entering and leaving, and it's really difficult for Benhou to find you." Bai Lijin was also a little helpless, if it wasn't really urgent, he wouldn't have notified Liu Yan in this way.
"Tell me, what is Master Hou looking for?" Liu Yan also felt that it seemed to be a very important thing, otherwise Bai Lijin would not have risked losing her head to sneak into the harem just to pass a word on herself.
