Although Liu Hu is a guard in the inner hall, he is generally not allowed to enter the harem, and summoning him in will only cause trouble.

Yang Hai braved the scorching sun to leave, and when the sun began to gradually move westward, he came back and said: "Master Qiqi, the servants have asked, and Leader Liu said that after they went to Hui'an Temple, although they were responsible for protecting Xu Guiren, as long as Xu Guiren was resting, they were not allowed to enter the courtyard, and they were only allowed to stay outside. During this period, he had sneaked in once and was hit by Xu Guiren, but it stands to reason that he was very light at that time, and Xu Guiren didn't know martial arts at all, so he shouldn't have found out. ”

Ling Ruo listened carefully to him and said, "Then what happened later, did you find anything?" ”

"Leader Liu said that after he was reprimanded by Xu Guiren and quit, he felt that something was wrong with this matter, and suspected that there were other people in the house at that time, so he broke in selfishly, but found nothing."

Guerjia frowned and said: "It seems that Hongshi really went to Hui'an Temple to meet Xu Guiren privately, but he was careful when he went in and out, and even Liu Hu didn't catch him on the spot, which is a bit troublesome." With the caution of the second elder brother, he wanted to catch him having an affair with the Xu family in the palace, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

"Not really." Ling Ruo was not as worried as the Guerjia clan, stroked the warm tea cup in his hand, and said, "Sister thinks that the Xu clan, who has lived in Hui'an Temple for a month, will still be perfect?" ”

The Guerjia clan understood what Ling Ruo meant, but shook his head and said, "It's useless, even if the Xu clan is not perfect, it can't prove that it is the second elder brother who has fornicated with her, unless she is willing to admit it." ”

"Sister, do you remember how Wen Rutian was given to die?" Ling Ruo suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter at hand, but it made the Guerjia clan sink his eyebrows, and after a while, he said, "You mean...... Which way? ”

Ling Ruo slowly got up and said, "Yes, this method is enough to lure the second elder brother into the bait." ”

Guerjia thought carefully for a while and said, "What you said is indeed feasible, but it will take a while before you can do it, and it is too early now." ”

"Hmm." After saying this, Ling Ruo turned to say, "By the way, how has Sixth Elder Brother been lately, and he still refuses to call his sister Eniang?" ”

Guerjia nodded, and said, "It's just a title, don't care so much." But then again, the Liu family seems to have stopped a lot recently, and I don't see her making a fuss, and I don't clamoring to see Hongzhan anymore. ”

"She didn't dare, at least not now." After Ling Ruo said coldly, he said, "When the matter of the second elder brother is resolved, it will be her turn, this woman, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to clean up." ”

This night was the first night after Xu returned to the palace, but he couldn't sleep at all, as soon as he closed his eyes, the shadow of Hongshi would appear in front of him, lingering. That jade pendant has always been well kept by her side, and she will take it out in the dead of night. Zirong saw all this in his eyes, except for sighing, he didn't know what else to say, between the master and the second elder brother, it was really a bad fate.

After a few days, it was calm and stable, until Bai Gui appeared in Changyueju at dusk, and as soon as he came in, he greeted the Xu family with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Xu Guiren, congratulations to Xu Guiren!" ”

Xu Shi said curiously: "What did the unprovoked father-in-law congratulate me on?" ”

"If you go back to the nobles, the emperor has turned over the nobles' signs, and after dinner, the servants will send the nobles to the Heart Cultivation Palace." Saying this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he said flatteringly: "Isn't this a great joy?" If the noble man can conceive the dragon fetus in one fell swoop, maybe when the slave comes in again, it will be time to call the noble lady. "This kind of thing, originally didn't need him, the steward of the worship room, to make a special trip, but he knew that the Xu family was not sleeping, so he was named a nobleman, and he was regarded as the life-saving benefactor of the concubine, so he came over to stammer.

In Bai Gui's view, the happy event was like a bolt from the blue for the Xu family, she knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, so fast that she didn't even have any preparation.

What to do, what to do? Xu Shi nervously thought about countermeasures, as for Bai Gui's words, she didn't listen to them at all.

"Noble? Elegant? Bai Gui waited for a long time and didn't see Xu speak, and raised his head and called a few times, but Xu didn't seem to hear it, he still stood there nervously, and didn't even look at Bai Gui.

Bai Gui said strangely: "Miss Zirong, what's wrong with your nobleman?" ”

Zirong squeezed out a smile and said, "Presumably the master is too happy, after all, the master has been waiting for this day since he entered the palace." ”

"That's just as well." Bai Gui nodded suddenly, and then said: "In the future, the nobles will be favored by the emperor, but don't forget the slaves, the slaves have always been very respectful to the nobles!" ”

"Even if the father-in-law doesn't say it, the master knows it in his heart." Zi Rong said as he stuffed a silver ingot into Bai Gui's hand, Bai Gui looked down and pretended to excuse himself: "How embarrassing is this!" ”

"This is to buy wine for my father-in-law to drink, what is there to be embarrassed about, if you don't accept it, the slave and maid will be scolded by the master later."

Seeing her say this, Bai Gui naturally wouldn't shirk anymore, took it away, and then left Changyueju, after he left, Zirong helped Xu Shi, who had been wet with cold sweat, to sit down, and without waiting for her to let go of her hand, Xu suddenly grabbed her arm, and said in a panic: "Zirong, what to do, what to do, emperor...... The emperor really summoned me to sleep, what if he found out that I was no longer perfect? ”

Since entering the palace, more than half a year has passed, and Yinzhen has never summoned her, and she never imagined that she would suddenly be summoned today, so that she didn't even have time to think of a way. She wasn't afraid of what would happen to her, she was just afraid of harming her family.

"Master, calm down first, don't worry, let the slave think about it, think about it!" Zirong comforted Xu while nervously thinking about a way.

Seeing that time was passing little by little, Xu couldn't help but say, "How, have you thought of a way?" ”

Zirong gritted her teeth and said, "The slave maid thought of a way, but the master had to suffer a little." ”

As soon as Xu heard that there was a way, he hurriedly urged: "What is it, say it quickly." ”

"Sickness, only illness can avoid tonight's sleep!" As soon as Zirong's voice fell, Xu said: "I naturally know this, but how to get sick for a while." ”

"That's why the slave said that the master would suffer somewhat." As he spoke, Zirong whispered a few words in Xu's ear, and the latter thought for a while and said, "Go and fetch water!" ”

Zi Rong no longer hesitated, and went to the well as fast as he could, fetching buckets of cold water, pouring them all into the wooden barrels that Xu usually used to bathe, and then threw all the unmelted ice into the buckets.
