Chapter 69: The Return of the Old Man
Concubine Ning is a sensible person, since this matter is related to her Zhong Cui Palace, she is naturally willing to contribute to help cuttlefish find out the cause of Xianglan's death.
Seeing that Concubine Ning was so happy, the cuttlefish hurriedly got up and thanked her, "Thank you for your help, if you have a place to get a concubine in the future, the concubine will do her best to repay your kindness today." ”
Xianglan's matter and cuttlefish are incompatible, and she can be so attentive, of course, because of personal grudges. Concubine Ning saw through it and didn't say anything, but her heart was like a mirror, she understood that the cuttlefish wanted to take revenge on the Gu family, and she was also willing to help the cuttlefish.
After all, Gu is indeed not a good person, and he should be punished if he does bad things.
Looking at the thin cheeks of the cuttlefish, Concubine Ning couldn't help sighing, "This is a matter of this palace, there is nothing to thank, but Su Chang is in you, you seem to be very tired recently, compared to the first time we met, you have lost a lot." ”
The cuttlefish didn't notice her fat and thinness, and subconsciously touched her arm, which seemed to be really thinner, she replied with a smile, "The concubine has nothing to do all day, where will she be tired, if you don't say it, the concubine won't notice that she has lost weight." ”
"Oh? Is it, that Su Changzai may be tired of lovesickness, so he is haggard, this palace heard that you have not entered the Yangxin Palace for a long time, and the emperor has never been to Xianfu Palace, carefully calculated, it has been a long time, you don't want the emperor? Concubine Ning has always spoken directly, but now she is also a word, her eyes are looking directly at the cuttlefish, with an expression on her face that knows everything, and her willow eyebrows are lightly raised.
The topic suddenly changed, and the emperor was mentioned, and the cuttlefish's heart trembled when she heard it, and she suddenly became uncomfortable, so she had to smile awkwardly, "Xu is hot and has no appetite to eat, so the concubine was able to lose weight, and Lao Niangniang was worried." ”
The answer was not asked, Ning Concubine asked if she missed the emperor, but she answered why she was thin, and she was typical of avoiding the important and light.
Concubine Ning fiddled with the hibiscus flowers on the table, and after a while, said softly, "In recent days, the emperor has often gone to the imperial garden for a stroll, especially after dinner. ”
Hearing this, the cuttlefish's face turned red, although this Ning Concubine was kind, but it was too straightforward, as if she was in a hurry to see the emperor.
The cuttlefish didn't know what to say more, so he thanked him repeatedly, and then got up and quit on the grounds that it was inconvenient to bother too much here.
Along the way, the cuttlefish's heart was chaotic, and she couldn't calm down, and what Concubine Ning said kept echoing in her head, what the emperor, what the imperial garden, made her so entangled.
If the emperor really took a walk in the imperial garden in the evening, it would indeed be a good opportunity to meet, but she couldn't make up her mind, and I don't know if the emperor would like to see her......
After returning to Xianfu Palace, a low conversation came from the dining room, the cuttlefish stopped and listened carefully, and soon there was a little more strange in her eyes, she frowned, and walked quickly to the dining room.
This voice sounds like a male voice, but in addition to Xiao Yuezi in Xianfu Palace, where did the second man come from, could it be that someone else mixed in while she was away?
Before she could enter the dining room, a short, chubby figure flashed out of it and knelt in front of her. The cuttlefish was taken aback, looked down, this figure was still a little familiar, and then took a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao Anzi!
Before, she had regarded Xiao Anzi as the most credible person around her, but she never thought that when she was in a desperate situation, Xiao Anzi also followed everyone away, and she didn't even leave a word of parting.
"The slave visits the master, and the master is auspicious." Xiao Anzi knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, but An's voice was as loud and crisp as a bell.
A touch of sadness floated through the bottom of the cuttlefish's eyes, and then said coldly, "You are really a good slave, and you don't forget to say hello when you see the old master, it seems that it is not in vain for you and me!" But now that you're no longer from Xianfu Palace, what are you doing here? But come to find Xiao Yuezi? If there's something to do, say it quickly, and leave when you're done! ”
Xiao Anzi and Xiao Yuezi have a deep relationship, and Xiao Anzi has also interceded for Xiao Yuezi before, and he can be regarded as a person who values love and righteousness.
There was a sarcasm in the cuttlefish's tone, Xiao Anzi could hear it, but he still begged stubbornly, "Return to the master, the slave is here to find you, and the slave wants to ask you to arrange an errand for the slave in Xianfu Palace." ”
"What? Do you want to come back? The cuttlefish's question blurted out, obviously Xiao Anzi's request was something she didn't expect.
As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat back grass, if this little Anzi is doing well now, he probably won't be cheeky and go back to Xianfu Palace.
Without waiting for Xiao Anzi to speak again, Xiao Yuezi behind him answered for him first, and naturally interceded for him, "Master, Xiao Anzi is on an errand in the Pingkang Hall of Zhongcui Palace, serving Guo Guiren, you also know that Guo Guiren is not a good stubble, and he tosses people a lot on weekdays, and Xiao Anzi has also suffered a lot under her." The slave heard Ruyi and said, our Xianfu Palace is not manpowered, or you can let Xiao Anzi come back, please master. ”
On an errand with Guo Guiren? It's going to have to be a lot of hardship! And not every master can be as friendly and kind as the cuttlefish. It's just that there is only one chance, and if you don't cherish it, there will never be a next time.
The cuttlefish understood Xiao Anzi's intention, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth and snort softly, she had already made up her mind and would not agree to Xiao Anzi's request.
"Since you have the heart to come back, then I'll give you a chance to show Xiàn, and you come with me."
The cuttlefish did not refuse directly, but motioned for Xiao Anzi to follow her, and after arriving in the backyard, she looked around to see if there was no one else, and then took Xiao Anzi into a room in the apse.
Xiao Anzi didn't know what to be told, so he could only stand to the side with his eyebrows lowered first.
The cuttlefish looked at him with a deferential appearance, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You are now a member of the Pingkang Palace, if you want to come back, it is not easy, I have to go to say hello to Guo Guiren, and I have to ask Concubine Ning for permission, this is not an ordinary trouble, you know, my relationship with Guo Guiren is not very good." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Anzi's face was bitter, and his head hung lower.
"However, my relationship with Concubine Ning is okay, maybe I can ask her to give me face and let you come back." The cuttlefish smiled lightly, and the smile was indistinct, "It's just that before that, you have to do something for me." ”
As soon as Xiao Anzi heard that things were still going to turn around, he nodded hurriedly and agreed, his life was not easy during this time, and he couldn't wait to leave Pingkang Hall immediately, "You said that you said, as long as you can come back and let the slave do anything." ”
"I want you to stay in Zhongcui Palace, keep an eye on Yiyuan Hall for me, no matter what abnormality Gu Chang has there, you must pass the news to me immediately, as long as I get the news I want and bring down the Gu family, I can transfer you away from Guo Guiren, what do you think?"
The cuttlefish stared at Xiao Anzi tightly, and the bottom of his eyes was as deep as the sea.
