Chapter 68: Tempting Haruka
Chunxiang is still getting carried away by herself, but she doesn't know that the sky has already changed over there in Xianfu Palace.
Ruyi searched for a long circle in Xianfu Palace, but she couldn't find Chunxiang's figure anywhere, she couldn't help but wonder, is there really a problem with Chunxiang's identity?
A few days ago, the cuttlefish told her of her suspicions about Haruka, and the two of them devised a trap to verify whether Haruka really had different intentions. When she heard a sound outside the window, the cuttlefish signaled Ruyi and told her about the birthday gift she was going to give to the queen's mother, and deliberately revealed it to Chunxiang.
If Haruka does have bad thoughts, she will probably take advantage of this opportunity to make some moves.
Ruyi's forehead was covered with fine sweat, I don't know if it was hot or urgent, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, and asked Xiang Cuttlefish uneasily, "Master, where did you say that Chunxiang is going now, and she didn't even say hello, wouldn't it really be that she went to Jingren Palace." ”
"She was originally the person next to Concubine Xi, even if she was really sent to be Concubine Xi's eyeliner, there is nothing strange about it." The cuttlefish has an expressionless face and a cold voice.
This time, Haruka just finished eavesdropping on the corner of the wall, and immediately disappeared, which made her even more suspicious, and the cuttlefish was disappointed in her heart.
She pondered for a moment and said, "What I can't figure out is why Concubine Xi sent someone to my side, and why did she let Chunxiang steal my handkerchief to harm me?" I have no grudge against her, and she is a mother, which makes no sense. ”
The cuttlefish's eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he looked puzzled, but Ruyi was indifferent, and just sighed.
Ruyi said helplessly, "It seems that the master doesn't know, you must think of Concubine Xi as a good person, to be honest, when it comes to strategy, she is invincible in the entire harem." ”
After that, Ruyi rolled up his sleeves, revealing some scars, the cuttlefish glanced down, and suddenly remembered what Ruyi had said, these shocking scars were all given by Concubine Xi.
Seeing the master's shocked and puzzled eyes, Ruyi smiled bitterly, "At that time, Concubine Xi asked the slave maid to send poison to Concubine Qi, but as far as the slave maid knows, Concubine Qi has not offended Concubine Xi for half a point, but she is just a poor person who is old and decrepit, and has been affected by her son and fallen out of favor, think about it, Concubine Xi will not even let go of such a Concubine Qi, so who else will she not harm?" ”
In this way, Concubine Xi's heart is not much better than that of the Gu family, maybe even more ruthless.
The cuttlefish recalled the whole thing from beginning to end, and still couldn't confirm whether Concubine Xi was involved in this matter, she only knew that the handkerchief was in the hands of the Gu family, and Xiaochuan also died because of the Gu family, but Concubine Xi did not leave any clues that could be found.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
The time for lunch has passed, and the cuttlefish's stomach can't stand up and makes a "gurgling" sound, she smiled innocently at Ruyi, and said, "Forget it, don't think about these things first, people are iron rice is steel, and I will make plans when I am full, you let Xiao Yuezi serve me food." ”
Ruyi nodded, lifted the curtain and walked to the dining room, and did not forget to joke, "Even if the sky falls, you can't forget to eat, master." ”
The people take food as the sky, eating is a major matter related to life, the cuttlefish naturally can't forget, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled indifferently, and secretly said in her heart, the body and bones are her own, why treat your appetite harshly for others, no matter what happens, you have to live well.
……
After lunch, the cuttlefish half-lay on the couch, looking out the window lazily, wondering whether to take a nap and rest for a while.
At this time, a thin figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, it was Chunxiang, she was happy between her eyebrows, but her expression was sneaky, looking like she had done something bad and succeeded.
The cuttlefish looked at Chunxiang who was dressed in plain palace clothes in his sight, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and suddenly fell asleep, if Chunxiang really had different intentions for her, then she never intended to spare her, she had always treated Chunxiang like a sister, which was excellent, how could she have expected that there would be such an untrustworthy day now. Sad, ridiculous!
The slender fingers tapped on the window lattice, and the cuttlefish made a slight movement three or four times before finally catching Haruka's attention.
Haruka looked at the cuttlefish in a little surprise and barely managed to squeeze out a smile. A moment later, she walked slowly into the room, the sound of her footsteps reflecting her inner hesitation and torment.
Chunxiang bowed and saluted, and her movements were much more respectful than before, "The master is auspicious, but what are your orders?" ”
The cuttlefish quietly observed Haruka, from head to toe, from expression to movements, including the tone of the voice that spoke, it was indeed different from before. She smiled lightly, "Xiao Yuezi's cooking skills are getting more and more sophisticated, just now he made me cherry meat and eggplant with meat foam, I specially left some for you, put it in the dining room, you can taste it later." ”
Hearing this, Haruka breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to make up a casual word to deal with it, but the cuttlefish's voice sounded again.
"You were looking for you everywhere just now, but you weren't there, I guess the meat is going to be cold now, it's a pity." The cuttlefish's eyes looked at Haruka softly, and this sentence came out coldly.
This is a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Chunxiang, who has a weak heart.
She quickly lowered her head, rolled her eyes uneasily, and said in a trembling voice, "Slave maid, slave maid just went out to play with the little sister, thank you master for worrying, slave maid is not a delicate body, it's okay to eat some cold food." ”
It's nonsense, she doesn't have any other friends in the palace, but cuttlefish has never heard of it.
Out of nervousness, Haruka subconsciously clenched her fists, although it was only for a moment, it was still caught by the keen afterglow of the cuttlefish, the cuttlefish smiled faintly, and without saying anything else, he waved his hand to let Haruka retreat.
In this way, Haruka felt even more panicked, for fear that the connection between her and Jingren Palace would be discovered by the cuttlefish, and maybe tonight, she would have a sleepless night.
Often, the more panicked people are, the more scared they are, the easier it is to make mistakes in a hurry, and the cuttlefish looked at the back of Haruka who hurriedly retreated, and had a little confidence in his heart, just waiting for Haruka to show his feet.
After finishing the plan on Chunxiang's side, in the afternoon, the cuttlefish went to Zhong Cui Palace in person, she went straight to the point, directly explained her intentions, and told Concubine Ning about the little maid Xianglan.
Knowing that the Gu family may have deliberately murdered the palace maid Xianglan, and Concubine Ning was also willing to help the cuttlefish investigate the matter, she had long felt that the cause of Xiaochuan's death was suspicious, and now there was another Xianglan, which made it difficult for her to sit idly by.
Concubine Ning said worriedly, "If this palace doesn't come out to take care of it again, I'm afraid that the people of this Zhongcui Palace will be harmed by Gu Changzai." ”
