Concubine Hou Xian can be regarded as responding to the rest of Qin Shujiu, a good bird, Qin Shujiu should not disappoint the mother, and after returning to the palace, she often talks to Concubine Hou Xian in front of Liqing. Although it didn't make Liqing withdraw Concubine Houxian's grounding, it still reminded Liqing that Concubine Xian had always been good, and she also visited a few times during the grounding period.

It was these few explorations that were enough to make Concubine Hou Xian understand that Qin Shujiu was a usable person.

Concubine Hou Xian was temporarily grounded by His Majesty, and there was no second master in this palace who felt uncomfortable when he saw Lai Zhaoyi, so Concubine Hou Xian's grounding during this period of time Lai Zhaoyi was also clear, and she didn't see what she was happy about after putting a concubine, Lai Zhaoyi was still doing things on weekdays. On weekdays, it's just to make some pastries by hand, and Lai Zhaoyi is also a person who is willing to do it himself, but if he makes too many pastries, he will inevitably feel tired, so he summoned Qin Shujiu into the palace to talk with him.

Lai Zhaoyi's summons have never been just for small talk, especially this time when she returned to the palace from the Taiye Palace, she often asked Qin Shujiu about staying in the nunnery to practice Buddhism when she was young, and looking at it always made people feel that she also had the intention of participating in Buddhism.

Lai Zhaoyi asked about the young nunnery in many ways, I was afraid that she had a plan, but fortunately, she had made all the preparations in this matter, and Qin Shujiu also answered quite smoothly, at least it would not make people feel wrong. Summoned Qin Shujiu, chatted about some nunnery and learning Taoism, and the time passed quickly under this chat, and if you were not careful, an hour or two passed.

After chatting for a long time, people would feel a little hungry, so Lai Zhaoyi ordered Ruosuke to serve the shortbread she made this morning. Wakasuke, who received the order, immediately withdrew. Then he took a snack and entered the hall, walked to Qin Shujiu's side, and then put the pastry in front of him.

When the crisp cake was put on the table, Lai Zhaoyi said: "This is a pastry made by this palace in the past, although it has not been made for many years, but after all, the craftsmanship is still there. My sister tried it and saw that it was still delicious. Since Lai Zhaoyi said so, Qin Shujiu was not polite to her, and immediately took a piece of pastry and tasted it.

The pastry is crispy with a hint of sweet fragrance, and the taste is naturally excellent, but after tasting it, Qin Shujiu nodded. Before he could say words of appreciation, he heard Lai Zhaoyi say: "Since my sister has tasted it." So how about this pastry? Sister, I always feel that something is missing, but I can't remember it when I think about it, if my sister is so smart, I don't help my sister think about it, but I have to add something to make it more refreshing. ”

Slightly curled lips. Lai Zhaoyi asked softly. What exactly is missing in this pastry? Qin Shujiu naturally knew. It's just that she has never tasted the pastry made by Lai Zhaoyi, since she has never tasted it, how can she know what kind of taste this pastry is good, and she has seen Lai Zhaoyi at the moment. Qin Shujiu said: "Do you need to add other recipes to be more refreshing? My sister already thought that this pastry should be the best crispy and crispy, but my sister suddenly asked like this, and I really couldn't think of anything else to add. I just feel that if I add anything, I am afraid that it will no longer have this taste, not only can not add flavor, but will also lose the original refreshingness. ”

She was extremely satisfied with this pastry, but she didn't know what else to add, but Lai Zhaoyi didn't think so, and when she heard Qin Shujiu say this, she answered: "Sister really thinks this is the best?" Qin Shujiu was puzzled: "What else can I add?" The confusion in the words was not false, that is, as soon as Qin Shujiu asked Lai Zhaoyi like this, he would no longer ask her, and suddenly smiled and then said.

"Hey, these years are really unforgiving, I can't remember what is missing, I hope that my sister can give me a good idea, and now I remember asking my sister to ask like this." Chang Shu sighed as if he had just remembered, but Lai Zhaoyi laughed at himself for this useless memory. It was Qin Shujiu who was a little curious when he saw her like this, and said strangely at the moment: "Sister, can such a high-quality crisp cake really add other things without spoiling its good taste?" ”

"Naturally, if you add some tea to it, the sweetness brings some tea fragrance, and the fragrance does not cover up the original sweetness and smoothness, it is the best."

Tea, the less is a taste of tea, Qin Shujiu had already tasted it when she tasted it just now, but she couldn't break it, and now she had to pretend to be surprised when she asked Lai Zhaoyi to mention it like this, but it shocked her ingenuity. Looking at the pastries on the plate, he couldn't help but nod, Qin Shujiu said; "I actually added tea, this tea fragrance is excellent, but it is not so fragrant that it hides the roots, and my sister's mind is very good. Such a delicate pastry, I want to come to Your Majesty is also happy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is very fond of this pastry." In response to Qin Shujiu's words, Lai Zhaoyi also answered, and after looking at the crisp cake for a while, Lai Zhaoyi said: "It's just that no matter how much you like Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't touch it." As soon as the conversation changed, he suddenly said such strange words, which inevitably made Qin Shujiu feel confused, so he asked softly: "Why?" And Lai Zhaoyi smiled slightly and then said: "Because ......"

Originally, he wanted to go back to Qin Shujiu, but he just took it back when he said it, and he didn't know how to take it back, and after a slight pause, it seemed that he was suddenly taboo about something, and Lai Zhaoyi suddenly changed his words and said: "Forget it, there are some things that still don't need to be said, after all, not all the things in this palace can be put on the table." Suddenly said such strange words, the deep meaning of Lai Zhaoyi's words is intriguing.

She doesn't say it, it's okay, it just so happens that Qin Shujiu is not the kind of person who gets to the bottom of it, since Lai Zhaoyi refuses to say it explicitly, then she doesn't think she has heard it at all. He just smiled but closed his gaze, and it was when he moved his gaze back to the pastry cake that he suddenly heard a strange cry outside. The voice came strangely, and the human body trembled at the cry that suddenly came to the ears. Such a cry made Qin Shujiu sit up, and then looked outside the hall, such a sudden sound also made Lai Zhaoyi frown, and immediately looked at Ruosuke and then asked sharply.

"I don't know if my fair lady is here? If you are shocked, do you have a fate? Don't go outside to see which palace person is so ignorant of the rules. "Lai Zhaoyi's reprimand, Ruosuke was busy knocking on the sin and then drove out, and after Ruosuke went out, his voice suddenly stopped, and when he felt doubtful, Ruosuke had re-entered the palace. When he walked to Lai Zhaoyi, he was about to whisper in her ear, but who knew that Lai Zhaoyi reprimanded: "Why do you have to hide it like this, is there something here in this palace that my fair beauties can't know?" Say. ”

After Lai Zhaoyi said this, Ruojie understood, and then said: "Yu Zhaoyi, it's the crazy woman from the court prison, but somehow it's a ghost howling. ”

"Prison in the court." After hearing these three words, Qin Shujiu was surprised, you must know that the people who have been in the court prison will not be out of prison unless they are summoned, and because the people in this court prison have all committed crimes, the people in the palace are afraid that they will be unlucky if they touch them, and no one has ever summoned them. Now she heard in Lifang Palace that there were prisoners in the court. How could this not make Qin Shujiu confused. There are doubts, but after being confused, I also remember that there is indeed a female prisoner named Lai Zhaoyi in Yeting Prison, and I already have a score in my heart at the moment.

I have a spectrum in my heart, but I don't say it. Seeing that Qin Shujiu was confused, but there was no intention of asking in his words, he was just subconsciously surprised. Lai Zhaoyi said: "My sister is also strange, who is that person?" Lai Zhaoyi seemed to have intended for her to meet the man. Although I don't know what she means, even if she said Qin Shujiu, she also responded, and after she did, she ordered Ruojie to bring that person in. Then he watched the palace people escort a woman with torn clothes and disheveled hair.

The woman was obviously outside to tell the waiter a good lesson, and at this time she could still see some wounds on her body, because she was taught a good lesson, at this time, she knew how to obey the rules, and there was no struggle and no shouting, but she asked the waiter to come in like that. After escorting this woman in, he immediately pushed her forward, and the chamberlain behind him shouted roughly: "When you see Zhaoyi, you don't kneel down, and then be stupid and careful of your bones." ”

Tell the chamberlain to push this woman forward? Bumped a few steps, stumbled forward and fell forward, and there was no intention of kneeling down, but when he heard Lai Zhaoyi, his body stiffened inexplicably, and after stiffening, his knees were weak and he knelt down directly, and then he didn't dare to raise his head with his head down.

Her body trembled tightly, this woman was so afraid of Lai Zhaoyi that she didn't even dare to raise her head and take a look. Kneeling there tremblingly, this meaning made Qin Shujiu feel a little strange, and couldn't help but look at Lai Zhaoyi in confusion, and then turned back to look at the person after a silent puzzle. This woman would be surprised if anyone saw it, no matter what else it was, just the identity of this court prison made people curious about her identity, and then Qin Shujiu asked lightly: "Sister, is this person?" ”

fell into such a field, and even if he entered the Yeting Prison, he still couldn't escape from Lai Zhaoyi's hands, and what did the person kneeling in front of him have with Lai Zhaoyi. Or what is there between these two people, Qin Shujiu is obsessed. will ask about the identity of this woman, ordinary people will be like this, and there is nothing strange, at that moment Lai Zhaoyi smiled lightly and replied: "Who is this person?" What he said with a smile was not an answer, but he asked with a smile, and it was only after a smile that Lai Zhaoyi said.

"I mentioned to my sister the thief who plotted rebellion before, and my sister still remembers."

"Rebellion, my sister is talking about the Lean clan." Answering softly, Qin Shujiu said, after her words fell, it was obvious that the kneeling woman's body trembled even more, so much so that it seemed that the Tilt clan had called her to react. Surprised by this person's reaction, Qin Shujiu didn't ask much, but stayed distracted and then responded: "Sister remembers." After a slight pause, he said, "This person should not be involved with the rebel clan." ”

At this time, he suddenly mentioned this matter, if it was not implicated, it would be inexplicable, and it was like this, so he saw Lai Zhaoyi chin and smiled, and then said: "My sister is really smart, I can see it at a glance, but this person is related to the rebellious family." After saying this, he looked over, looking at the woman whose body was already shaking like a dead leaf in the wind, Lai Zhaoyi said.

"This woman, but the house slave of the rebellious clan, because of such a crime of rebellion, His Majesty issued a decree to behead all the houses, who knew that this woman was allowed to escape. At that time, the palace guards also searched for a long time in order to chase this woman, and finally found it back, it was a death row prisoner who was found to have killed a hundred, but it was a pity that hundreds of lives were killed by the Tan clan, but they died cleanly because of this crime of rebellion. Sister, I, I also took pity on the people of this clan, and in the end, the hundred-year foundation was burned to the ground, and His Majesty spared this person's life. In any case, this person is also a servant of that clan, and since he survived by luck, he is to atone for the sins of his master, and it also reminds people of the great sins committed by this clan. ”

This person lives to repay the great crime of rebellion for the tilting clan, and if she wants to press this crime, she is afraid that her so-called life will be spent all day begging for death. Lai Zhaoyi's care, coupled with the fact that Yeting Prison is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, this woman may have gone crazy long ago.

Even if it was a great crime of rebellion, it was her master who committed such a crime, and I really don't know why she had to put all the blame on such an innocent person. For the woman in front of her, Qin Shujiu's heart should be restless, but if she faced Lai Zhaoyi with any restlessness, she must be calm, that is, she said: "Such a big crime is graced by His Majesty, and it is also a great grace to be able to live." ”

Saying such things in a daze, when he sighed, he also showed his respect for the saint, Qin Shujiu has done a good job, but Lai Zhaoyi is not a simple person after all. If there is no doubt, it is not terrible, but once she has doubts about something, she will peel off a few layers of skin and find out. Qin Shujiu's words just made her smile slightly, and after laughing like this, Lai Zhaoyi said: "This matter is also taboo in the palace, except for my sister and I know it most clearly with Your Majesty, and the palace knows not as much as those one or two." The new concubine doesn't know anything, since the palace and my sister are related, I want my sister to know something. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Shujiu again, and Lai Zhaoyi said.

"My sister wants to see what this sinner looks like."

"This, forget it, my sister is not very bold, she has committed such a crime of extermination, my sister is afraid that she will lose her demeanor if she is frightened, and she will make her sister laugh." She also understands Lai Zhaoyi's kindness, but Lai Zhaoyi deliberately wanted her to see it, Qin Shujiu's panic did not enter her heart, but said: "What do we sisters say to see if you are smiling." After saying this, he immediately looked over, Lai Zhaoyi suddenly cooled his eyes, and then shouted.

"Don't raise your head for this palace yet."

It has been more than ten years since she entered the court prison, and in these ten years, Lai Zhaoyi has almost taken care of her, and under her care, the woman has long been accustomed to obeying her orders. Mo said that he just raised his head, that is, he asked her to kneel and lick the upper of her shoes, and the woman did the same, and immediately raised her head, revealing the filthy face under the emanation little by little.

The woman finally raised her head, and the filthy face under the scattered hair made people unable to see her appearance clearly, so she subconsciously leaned forward slightly, Qin Shujiu was trying to take a closer look at this person's face. But just as she was about to see clearly, the woman suddenly cried out in horror as if she had gone mad, and then knelt there with her hands grasping wildly, as if she had seen something terrible.
