Shou'an Palace.

"Niangniang, the tonic you ordered the small kitchen to boil for the emperor is ready, shall we send it to the emperor now?" As Lilac walked into the hall, she asked Qu Wuwu, who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, for instructions.

Qu Wuwu put down the cup in his hand when he heard this, thought about it and replied, "Wait a little longer." ”

"But it's going to be cold if you wait any longer......" Lilac looked at her hesitantly.

"If it's cold, it's hot, do you still need this palace to teach you?" Hearing her words, Qu Wuwu glanced at her angrily, "You go down first, and I'll call you when you want to go out later." ”

Seeing that she suddenly lost her temper, Lilac didn't dare to talk more, and after giving her a salute, she was about to turn away.

When she was about to step out of the palace gate, Qu Wuwu suddenly stopped her again, "You ask someone to ask first, see where the emperor is at this moment?" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing her figure disappear outside the door of the store, Qu Wuwu waved her hand to the other palace maids and eunuchs on duty in the hall, and only when she was the only one left in the huge dormitory did she get up and close the door of the hall, and then took out a delicate porcelain vase from her sleeve.

This is the medicine bottle that Hua gave her when she entered the palace last time, although she has been getting the medicine for several days, but she has been hesitating in her heart, should she do this?

At the beginning, she also thought about the bottle of medicine given to her by the imperial doctor, and the effect of the medicine he told herself, thinking that if she gave this medicine to Shen Wu'an, then he might not remember Qu Wurong in a delirious state, and as long as Qu Wurong did not enter the palace, she would be able to keep what she had now.

But in the final analysis, drugging Shen Wu'an is not an easy thing after all, it is a crime and a major crime of the Nine Clans, if it is discovered, not only will she suffer alone, but the entire Qu Clan will be wiped out, which is also the main reason why she hesitates to ask.

Thinking of this, Qu Wuwu couldn't help but put the porcelain vase aside, looking at it in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden knock on the door of the temple, and then Lilac's inquiry sounded: "Niangniang, can the slave come in?" ”

Qu Wuwu put away the porcelain vase on the table, and then raised his voice and responded: "Come in." ”

As the door of the palace was opened and closed, Lilac said as she walked in: "Niangniang, just now the slave maid personally went to ask the little Li Zi's father-in-law who was on an errand in the imperial study, and he said that the emperor went out of the palace and was not in the palace at this time. ”

"Out of the palace?" Qu Wuwu frowned slightly when he heard this, "Do you know why you left the palace?" ”

Lilac shook her head slightly, "I don't know." After a pause, she continued: "But I asked Xiao Lizi's father-in-law, and he said that the emperor will leave the palace almost every day at this time recently!" ”

Hearing her words, Qu Wuwu's frowning brows deepened again, although Shen Wu'an would go out of the palace to observe the people's situation before, but it was only occasional, after all, there were so many government affairs that he needed to deal with every day, but now he actually had to go out of the palace every day, what was it for?

A thought suddenly flashed in her mind, which made Qu Wuwu's face sink uncontrollably, except for going to see Qu Wurong, she really couldn't think of anything worth running out of the palace every day for Shen Wu'an!

After pursing her lips and being silent for a moment, she asked in a deep voice, "Do you know when the emperor will come back?" ”

"I said I'll be back in about an hour." Lilac replied truthfully.

"Okay, Hongu knows." Qu Wuwu said, waving his hand at her, "You go down first, remember to let people inquire frequently, as soon as the emperor returns to the palace, he will immediately come back to the palace!" ”

"Yes!" Lilac agreed, turned and walked out of the main hall.

The silence in the hall was restored again, and Qu Wuwu took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket and secretly made up his mind: Since Shen Wu'an already knew the news of Qu Wurong's return from Bailiao Kingdom, then don't blame her for being ruthless!

An hour later.

Shen Wu'an took Xiao Shunzi back to the palace, and as soon as he walked into the imperial study, he saw Xiao Li Zi on duty come forward and come back, saying that Qu Wuwu had sent someone to ask him several times just now, asking him when he would come back.

After speaking, Xiao Lizi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The slave thinks that Concubine An Niangniang may have something very important to discuss with the emperor, otherwise the slave will go to sue her and say that the emperor is back?" ”

After listening to his words, Shen Wu'an didn't answer, glanced at him coldly, and then looked at Xiao Shunzi beside him.

Xiao Shunzi immediately understood, stepped forward and taught with a straight face: "How many times has the emperor explained, if the people from Shou'an Palace come to ask, they will all say that the emperor is busy, who gave you such a big dare to reveal the emperor's whereabouts?" I think you're getting impatient, aren't you? ”

Hearing his words, Xiao Lizi's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", begging for mercy in his mouth: "The emperor spares his life!" The minions don't dare, don't dare anymore! ”

Shen Wu'an didn't even look at him, and instructed lightly as he walked inside: "Since you think so much about An Concubine, then An Concubine should be very important to you, and in the future, you will not continue to stay in my imperial study, go to Shou'an Palace on an errand." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shunzi beckoned to the guards outside the door, signaling them to drag out Xiao Lizi, who still wanted to beg for mercy.

Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and closed the door of the palace, isolating the sound of Xiao Li Zi shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground outside the door, and then trotted to Shen Wu'an's side, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "It's all the minions who didn't discipline them well, so that these minions don't know the severity, and they have many mouths, please punish the emperor!" ”

"I'm going to punish you!" Shen Wu'an glanced at him when he heard this, "Then let's punish him for another year." ”

In fact, Xiao Shunzi said this just to make him soft-hearted, but instead of being soft-hearted, he really wanted to punish himself, Xiao Shunzi was dumbfounded on the spot, last time he was fined for a whole year because he accidentally said the wrong thing, if he was punished for another year, then wouldn't he want to drink the northwest wind?

Looking at his depressed expression, Shen Wuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Didn't you say that I should punish you? Could it be that you regret it again? ”

was so provoked by his deliberate words, even if Xiao Shunzi regretted it in his heart, he could only reply stubbornly: "No, how can the slave regret it?" It's ......"

He didn't finish his words, but Shen Wu'an already understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't have two years of Yulu, I will still support you!" ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Shunzi's bitter face immediately relaxed, and he knelt down with a smile to thank him: "Slave Xie Emperor Longen!" ”

When the master and servant were chatting, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and the guards on duty outside the door walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine An Niangniang asks to see you!" ”

Shen Wu'an's expression turned grim when he heard this, and some impatience appeared between his eyebrows, but he didn't let Qu Wuwu go back like this, knowing that even if he avoided not seeing her this time, she would still find a way to see him next time.

"Let her in."

"Yes!" The guard agreed, turned and walked out.

After a while, Qu Wuwu, who looked obviously well-dressed, walked in, followed by a tray of cloves in her hand, and on the tray was the tonic that Qu Wuwu had instructed the small kitchen to boil for Shen Wu'an.

It was not the first time she had come to send supplements to Shen Wu'an, so she didn't say anything, and directly asked Lilac to put the tray in her hand on the imperial case, and then she persuaded softly: "The emperor has to deal with so many political affairs every day, you must take care of your dragon body!" ”

"You're bothered!" Shen Wu'an glanced at her and replied lightly.

"The concubine is the emperor's concubine, so naturally she has to think about the emperor's dragon body." has long been accustomed to his alienation, Qu Wuwu said indifferently, "The concubines originally hoped that the emperor would take a few more concubines, so that they could take turns taking care of the emperor with the concubines, but after so many years, there is still only one concubine in this harem, and the emperor said that the concubines don't bother, so who else can bother?" ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Wu'an couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, a pair of dark eyes stared directly at her, as if he wanted to see the bottom of her heart all the time.

Qu Wuwu was so heartbroken by his straightforward eyes that he subconsciously looked away, and asked calmly: "Why does the emperor look at his concubines like this?" ”

Shen Wu'an retracted his gaze, "You really think so?" ”

"That's nature." Qu Wuwu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was asking about what he said he hoped he would take on his concubine, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show half a point on his face, "How dare the concubine deceive the emperor?" ”

"I'm glad you think so." After Shen Wu'an said this, he picked up a notebook and looked at it seriously, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

If it was before, Qu Wuwu would have retired with interest when he saw him like this, but the purpose of her coming today had not been achieved, so she naturally refused to leave lightly, after thinking about it, she asked tentatively: "The concubine heard that the emperor has been out of the palace these days, but she met the woman she likes outside the palace?" ”

"What if I say yes?" Hearing this, Shen Wu'an put down the fold in his hand, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qu Wuwu asked this to probe his tone, and his answer undoubtedly confirmed the conjecture in Qu Wuwu's heart, she lowered her eyelids, covering the ruthlessness that flashed in her eyes, but replied calmly: "Then naturally it is to take that woman into the palace for canonization, so that the emperor does not have to work hard every day to run around the palace and outside the palace, and the concubines in the harem can also have someone to be a companion with the concubines, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

"It's the best of both worlds!" Hearing her words, Shen Wu'an nodded thoughtfully, "I have my own sense of proportion in this matter, if you don't have anything else, go back today." ”

"Yes!" Qu Wuwu agreed but did not leave immediately, but picked up the tonic at hand and handed it to him, "The imperial doctor said, this tonic should be drunk while it is hot to exert the greatest effect, the emperor should drink it first and then be busy with political affairs, the concubine will retire after watching the emperor drink it." ”

Shen Wu'an didn't doubt him, took a few sips, and handed it back to her, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Then the concubine will retire first!" Qu Wuwu said and bowed, motioned for Lilac to pick up the remaining supplements, and then the master and servant walked towards the outside of the imperial study.

It wasn't until she left the imperial study far away that the calm on Qu Wuwu's face, which had been maintained since just now, finally fluctuated, and she glanced back at the direction she had just come, her eyes flashing with a crazy light.

I believe that it won't be long before she doesn't have to worry about being snatched away by Hui Qu Wurong!
