In the early morning, Xirui was helped back by the two palace maids, her legs were no longer able to stand, the redness and swelling of her cheeks had not disappeared, she couldn't speak, she lay quietly on the bed to recuperate, and they went out of the palace with lunch, and came to the garden to stand, and Aunt Nian stood

In front, he said: "Tomorrow is the day of the general election, the little masters must be well prepared, after tomorrow, the master is a slave, he has his own fixed number, everything is done according to the order, and there is no room for error." ”

Qizheng quietly listened to what Aunt Nian said, and looked at Wen Yue for a while, Wen Yue didn't seem to listen to Aunt Nian's words, but thought about something in her heart, Qi Zheng pulled Wen Yue's sleeve, and Wen Yue came back to her senses.

"What's wrong with you, you've been in a trance-free since you came back last night." Qi Zheng whispered.

Wen Yue shook her head lightly: "It's okay, it's just that I heard what my aunt said, and I felt a little emotional, after all, I have to leave tomorrow." ”

Although Wen Yue explained so, Qi Zheng did not believe it all, and since Wen Yue did not want to say it, Qi Zheng did not think about it anymore.

After returning to the hall and resting for a while, Dongmei led an old lady into the hall, and Aunt Nian followed.

The Imperial Physician walked over to Xirui's bed and took the pulse.

Qi Zheng and the others gathered around and quietly looked at Xirui lying on the bed.

"Xirui is hurting her face and legs, what kind of pulse does this old man have?" Wen Yue leaned into Qi Zheng's ear and said.

Qizheng frowned and looked sideways at Wen Yue, signaling her not to say such things again.

"Imperial Doctor Zhao, the body of the little lord of Xirui is ......." Aunt Nian asked.

Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Xi Rui's cheeks again, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "The little master is in good health, but he has to rest more, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in tomorrow's general election." ”

Xi Rui lay on the bed, heard what the imperial doctor said, but couldn't say a word, her hands clutched the quilt tightly, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and crossed her cheeks.

"The slave knows, Dongmei, send the imperial doctor out." Aunt Nian said.

Dongmei owed a debt and sent the imperial doctor away.

Aunt Nian looked at Xirui on the bed, and said helplessly: "The little master also heard the words of the imperial doctor, it's just the life of the little master, the little master is still good to live and recuperate, and let go of the election." He looked sideways at Dongmei and ordered: "Dongmei, send the palace clothes and headdresses needed for tomorrow to the little masters." Then he went out of the temple.

Dongmei owes a debt and goes out with Aunt Nian.

Shujin stood in front of Xirui's bed, took out a handkerchief, leaned over to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xirui's eyes, and patted Xirui's hand: "Xirui, don't cry, people are swords, I am fish and meat, take care of your injuries, since you have entered the palace, you have a place to go, you can't be a concubine, and it's not bad to be a female official." ”

Dongmei walked into the hall, followed by several palace maids, holding clothes and some ornaments in their hands, "Little master, this is the palace dress worn in tomorrow's election, as well as these hair accessories, tomorrow's little masters can only wear according to the instructions of the Internal Affairs Office, except for the velvet flowers and silver hairpins in this plate, you can't wear other things, if the little masters have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can go out to pick some petals to bathe." With that, he put everyone's things on the bed and stepped back.

Qi Zheng walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the pink velvet flower in the plate and looked at it, put it back in the plate, got up and walked to the cabinet, took out the brocade box, reached out to remove the gold and jade snow on the bun, stared for a moment, put the hairpin in the brocade box, and put it in the cabinet together with the clothes and hair accessories he had just brought.

"Sister, are we going to pick flower petals?" Wen Yue sat at the table and looked at Qi Zhengdao.

"It's picking petals again, I guess Qizheng won't go, she can't forget how she escaped death last time." Xi Ying sat aside, lowered his eyebrows and touched the silver hairpin in his hand, and said lightly.

Qizheng closed the cabinet door and looked back at Wen Yue: "It's okay if you don't want petals, I have the fragrance dew from the last time when the concubine was rewarded, and it's the same if you add it to the water to bathe, the weather is good today, let's go out for a walk." ”

Wen Yue turned her eyes to look out the window and nodded.

The two walked in the garden, and Qizheng looked at Wen Yue sideways: "Yue'er, you have something on your mind these days." ”

Wen Yue hurriedly shook her head: "No, no." ”

Qizheng sighed slightly, looked at the front and said, "If you don't say it, I won't ask each other anymore, but tomorrow is the day of the general election, don't be so worried." ”

"Really, I thought it was great to be taken by the emperor, it was just a portrait, and I even ordered us to pick flower petals to bathe her, did she think she was a mother, aren't we all the same nuns, who is a phoenix and who is a pheasant to win the country will only be known tomorrow." A nun not far ahead, complained.

Wang Ji, who was beside her, smiled faintly: "Okay, Qiu Ci, why didn't you say this in front of her just now, I know that she has been a lot of spirits recently, but she is taken by the emperor in the end, let's let her." ”

Qi Zheng looked at the backs of the two of them who were gradually drifting apart, and cut off her doubts, "Last time Wang Xi was teased by Jiaying, Luan Xi not only did not persuade Wang Xi but sneered on the side, today Wang Xi is willing to help Luan, according to her temperament, it should not be like this, what is wrong?" ’

Wen Yue pulled Qizheng's sleeve: "Sister, what are you thinking?" ”

Qizheng came back to her senses, frowned and said, "Yue'er, don't you think Wang Ji looks like a ...... today." ”

"Sister, let's go back, everyone is preparing, only we are wandering around here." Wen Yue interrupted Qi Zheng's words, paused, and said: "Sister, don't think so much, I don't know where I'm going in the future, don't care about Wang Ji, let's take care of ourselves first." ”

Wen Yue's words suddenly made Qi Zheng even more convinced that Wen Yue had a secret hidden in her heart, and it was likely to be about Wang Ji or Luan, but Wen Yue didn't want to say it, and Qi Zheng no longer forced her, so let this secret be hidden in Wen Yue's heart.

In the evening, the first palace changed the atmosphere of silence at night, the palace maid carried hot water back and forth in and out of the palace, after bathing, the hair was not tied, Qi Zheng sat at the table with a cloak, raised his eyes and looked around, "The last night here tonight, remembering the day when I first stepped into the palace door seemed like yesterday, just one month, I already felt that this palace was full of dangers, but it was not difficult for Mingzhe to protect himself. Qi Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the door, and saw Wen Yue standing in front of the door of the hall in a single dress, looking sideways at something, and hurriedly picked up another cloak and walked to the door, put it on Wen Yue's shoulder, and looked at Wen Yue's gaze, it was actually towards the Lu Palace.

Qizheng couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and said, "Yue'er, is there anything you can't tell your sister?" Prepare to hide it in your heart for how long. ”

Wen Yue slowly turned around and stared at Qi Zheng: "Sister, if I tell you, will you help Xia Luan?" ”

When Qi Zheng heard this, she was not surprised, and hurriedly pulled Wen Yue to walk quickly to the garden, most of the show girls were preparing for tomorrow's election in the room, and there was no one in the garden, Qi Zheng pulled Wen Yue to a corner, frowned and looked at Wen Yue: "Yue'er, what did you mean by what you just said, what is the matter, tell me quickly." ”

Wen Yue lowered her head and spoke slowly: "I wanted to tell my sister that night, but I was afraid that my sister would tell Luan Xi if she knew about it, and help her escape and offend Concubine Yun, so I have always kept what I saw and heard that night in my heart." ”

"Luan, Concubine Yun." Qi Zheng read silently.

Wen Yue leaned into Qizheng's ear and talked about that night......

That night, Wen Yue just walked out of the Lanxia Palace, and watched a palace maid lead Wang Xi to a remote place behind the palace, Wen Yue was full of curiosity, and quietly followed, and when the palace maid led Wang Xi to a corner to wait, Wen Yue hid not far away and watched quietly, and then the palace maid left, and after a while, a woman walked to Wang Xi's side, Wen Yue fixed her eyes and saw that it was Concubine Yun.

"I've seen Concubine Yun." Wang Ji said.

Concubine Yun leaned down to help Wang Ji up: "Sister, this palace should not stay long, to make a long story short." ”

Wang Ji was suspicious: "What is the important matter for Niangniang to summon me?" ”

Concubine Yun moved a few steps forward and said: "Although you are the sister of Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui is just a concubine like this palace, if you want to gain a foothold, it is not enough to rely on this palace and Sister Hui alone, you have to rely on a bigger backer, that is, the Queen Mother, but Sister Hui is the niece of the Queen Mother, naturally with the support of the Queen Mother, and you and Sister Hui are half-sisters, the relationship is not close, and the Queen Mother has nothing to do with it. ”

Wang Ji owed: "What can Wang Ji do for the Queen Mother, please let Concubine Yun make it clear." ”

"Today's rumors, you must have heard of it, the Queen Mother is very worried about this, if that Xia Luan regret gets the emperor's favor, it must be a big threat to Concubine Hui, if you help the Queen Mother solve this problem, not only help the Queen Mother but also help Sister Huifei, as long as you let Xia Luan regret unable to participate in the election, everything will be solved, there is a bottle of medicine here, the night before the election, you try to put it into the water that Xia Luan regret bathes, but this matter has to be done unconsciously, it is best to find a substitute for the dead ghost." Concubine Yun said, taking out a small bottle from her sleeve.

Wang Ji thought about it, took the medicine bottle handed by Concubine Yun, and said, "Thank you Niangniang for your advice." ”

"Okay, you go back, remember not to mention this matter to anyone, otherwise it will be difficult for you and this palace to get out." With that, Concubine Yun turned around and left......

Listening to what Wen Yue said, Qi Zheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although she had been thinking that Concubine Yun would not let go of Luan, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yun would borrow Wang Xi's hand to set up this conspiracy, today Wang Xi is so willing to pick petals for Luan, it seems that it is an ulterior motive, and the so-called ghost for the dead should be the show girl who picked petals with her, Qi Zheng unconsciously remembered what Hua Guifei said that day, petals and other things close to the skin, if there are people with bad intentions to do something, it is tantamount to poison......

Qizheng came back to her senses and looked at Wen Yue: "Yue'er, I know, you still hate Xia Luan, so you don't want me to help her, now I want to help, but I can't help, harming others will end up harming myself, but I still hope that Luan Xi can escape this catastrophe, let's go, let's go back, don't let the third person know about this matter." ”

Wen Yue nodded, and slowly walked back to Lanxia Palace.

Qi Zheng was about to cross the threshold, but stopped again, and turned his eyes to look at the Chaolu Hall not far away, which was still calm......
