960 Strange and clear lotus incense
It is June, it is the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and there are concubines and palace people haunting the huge lotus pond from time to time.
It was evening again, the sun was about to set, and the thin gold left on the ground was warm but not scorching, with the gentle evening breeze, so refreshing and comfortable.
Qinghe and several concubines sat in the lotus pavilion surrounded by lotus flowers, teasing the baby in their arms together, with smiles on their faces.
At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Concubine Ji is here"
Everyone's faces changed immediately.
Several concubines put away their smiling faces and said to Qinghe: "I have left in advance, and we will talk another day." β
Or: "It's time for the palace to go back to dinner, and you should also take the Fourth Highness back to eat early." β
Wait a minute. Then he quickly walked away.
After Ji Guifei was seriously ill twice, her temper became more and more eccentric, more and more repetitive, her beautiful eyes always flashed with a creepy cold light, and her whole body was full of malice, with a bitter and bitter hatred, and the whole world was sorry for her, plus her background was strong, the concubines and palace people in the harem were not willing and dared to face her face-to-face.
So I heard that she was coming, and everyone could avoid it, and they could escape.
Only Qinghe and Wu Yue, Wu Ming, and the little doll in his arms remained.
Qinghe looked up and saw Ji Lian swaying over, her demeanor was as wonderful as if a fairy was walking on the clouds, and the endless lotus flowers lost their color and fragrance because of her appearance.
Such a beauty should be pleasing to the eye and addictive, but Qinghe was still frightened and turned pale like everyone else.
She subconsciously hugged the baby tightly, and when she stood up, she wanted to run.
But Ji Lian's voice was not far away, cordial and beautiful: "Qinghe, why are you leaving when you see me, don't you want to recognize me as a good sister?" β
Only then did Qinghe realize that he had overreacted, and he stopped when he stepped out.
The enemy is in front of her, and the opportunity is in front of her, how can she escape from the battle?
She made up her mind to do her best for the future of herself and her children, why did she run away without a fight?
She has finally come to this point, and she must not retreat!
In the blink of an eye, she quickly handed over the child in her arms to Wu Yue, and said in a low voice: "You guys hurry up and take the child back, I have something to say to Concubine Ji." β
Although Wu Yue and Wu Ming have not had direct contact with Ji Lian, they have also heard a lot about Ji Lian's schemes and methods during this time, and now they see Ji Lian as if they were seeing a demon, and they immediately hugged the child and left after listening to her words.
As for what would happen to Concubine He and Concubine Ji alone, they didn't care at all.
In their subconscious, they even hoped that Concubine He would die as soon as possible, otherwise, the child's biological mother would stay by the child's side, which would make them unable to feel at ease.
The lotus pavilion is built in the middle of the overlapping lotus flowers, and two bridges connect the shore through guΓ², Wu Yue and Wu Ming leave from one bridge and from the other.
Qinghe turned his back to Ji Lian, stabilized his mind, and quickly took out a bottle from his arms, opened it, and smeared the colorless plaster inside on his face.
Spread it very thick and evenly, behind the ears, neck, and hands.
She wore no makeup today, and these plasters did not leave a trace after being applied, except for the peculiar fragrance that emanated, there was nothing suspicious.
Only then did she turn around and walk towards Ji Lian.
The two finally got closer.
Qinghe tried to suppress his fear and weakness, and humbly saluted Ji Lian: "Qinghe has seen the concubine Niangniang"
She wanted to stand up in front of Ji Lian and speak in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant, however, her fear and inferiority complex for Ji Lian had gone deep into her bone marrow, and without her consciousness to make instructions, her body had spontaneously lowered to the dust.
"Oh, why do you call me a concubine?" Although Ji Lian is as thin as a weak willow, she is still so beautiful that she is captivating the country and the city, she took Qinghe's hand and smiled brightly, "We are good sisters, you should call me sister." β
She took Qinghe's hand, her nails pierced deep into Qinghe's skin, and Qinghe's muscles twitched slightly in pain.
But Qinghe still had to smile as if nothing had happened: "Niangniang's identity is noble, Qinghe doesn't dare to climb high." β
"Gee, that's what you used to call me." Ji Lianjiao smiled, "Why don't you call now?" Could it be that she recognized Zhu Guifei, the new sister, and the four princes by her side, so she can't look down on me as a sister? Oh, my heart hurts, it's almost dying......"
She clutched her chest with one hand and pinched her harder with the other.
"Niangniang, Niangniang's words are serious." Qinghe stammered, "Actually, in fact, I will move into Ruoxu Palace, and I also have an inside ......."
"Oh, the inside story?" Ji Lian smiled faintly, looking at Wu Yue and Wu Ming in the distance, "What kind of inside story, tell my sister about it." β
"Sister," Qinghe cautiously glanced at the maid beside her, and said in a low voice, "Can I say a few words alone with my sister?" β
She was so afraid of getting along with Concubine Ji, she wanted to get things done now, and then stay away from this devil.
"A few words alone?" Ji Lian smiled playfully, turned to the group of maids beside her, and said, "You go to stay on the shore, and you are not allowed to approach without my order." β
A group of maids all looked disapproving.
"Niangniang, you are seriously ill and there is no one to serve, I'm afraid it's not ......"
"Don't worry." Ji Lian was laughing again, but there was no smile in her eyes, "It's just me and Sister Qinghe here, what can happen to me?" Can Sister Qinghe still harm me? β
If something happens to her, it will definitely be Qinghe's doing, so she can find a legitimate reason to clean up Qinghe.
Or, she can take the opportunity to attack Qinghe, and then say that it was an accident, who will pursue her for just one Qinghe?
The maids looked at each other and tried to convince her, but she had already sunk her face: "Why, this palace just let you stay away, do you even have to disobey this?" Do you want the palace to ask the emperor to send a decree, so that you are willing to obey? β
The group of maids said no more and retreated to the shore.
Heavy blooming lotus flowers obscured their vision, and they kept adjusting their angles, only two shadows could be seen.
Qinghe looked around and made sure that everyone was far away, before she walked to the stone table, and sat on the chair upwind, where she had been standing upwind.
The evening breeze carried her fragrance and brushed it on Ji Lian's face.
These fragrances were mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers, and Ji Lian's mind was all on the green lotus, and she didn't notice another strange fragrance in the air at all.
"Sister sit down," Qinghe poured tea for Ji Lian, and said respectfully and carefully, "I have something to tell Sister SΓΉ about the concubine." β
Ji Lian sat down opposite her, didn't drink the tea she poured, and said with a smile: "Oh, then I'll listen to it." β
The pavilion is surrounded by scattered and dense lotus flowers, the two stone bridges are curved, and the sky is slightly dark, it is impossible for the people on the shore to see the situation in the pavilion clearly, should she take the opportunity to push the green lotus down the lotus pond?
The people on the shore are all her people, as long as she makes her people pretend that they can't rescue Qinghe in time, can she kill Qinghe?
