8. The Brothel (3)
"Go and send these pots of wine and side dishes to the master of the wing!"
This should have been done by the leading grandmother, but she deliberately handed the tray to Chang Xi, which was full of wine and meat, and it was very heavy.
Chang Xi lifted his shoulders and had to be sent as ordered. When I opened the bead curtain, I could smell the rich smell of wine inside.
"Lord An, the queen mother is happy to be a dragon, the box of brocade you asked your wife to send to the Jiaofang Palace is worth a lot of money, right?"
"Where is there anything valuable, and even if there is, I don't dare to send it, hey? Don't you think it's strange that after the queen gave birth to the prince, the beauty who was originally pregnant with her died violently inexplicably......"
Chang Xi's back suddenly felt cold, and he realized that all the people present in the court were junior and middle-aged officials. She lowered her head, turned her back to the candlelight, and carefully placed the tray in her hand on the table.
When the conversation turned here, except for Liu Zhang, who shook his head drunkenly, the others became suspicious.
"On the day the queen gave birth, I didn't hear any news, but someone saw Wen Po go directly to Chang Meiren's Zhaoyang Palace."
"Listening to what the Queen Mother said, Chang Meiren was weak, and she died of dystocia at the moment of childbirth, and the baby she gave birth to was extremely weird, saying that she was an ominous person who looked terrifying, so she buried it with the dead Chang Meiren."
"Nonsense! Where is there a corpse, I have heard, this Chang beauty is not even a shadow after her death, it is like a ghost, the palace, they are all looking for it! ”
Their voices were very quiet, and they all shuddered when they talked about it.
If they looked closer, they would find that the woman standing next to them pouring wine and setting dishes for them was looking sharp at the moment, but her slender hand holding the wine glass was bruised.
Yes, what else in the world is so infuriating?
She stood here completely, but she heard others talking a lot about the things in her previous life, those things that didn't happen, and the facts that were distorted by Lu Pheasant!
"The harem is eventful, it's hard to say. The beauty that the emperor favored before was either dead or crazy, and everyone said that Chang Meiren Tianze was kind and conceived with a dragon species, but in the end the result was not the same? ”
"To put it bluntly, our emperor is naturally cowardly, where can he be the enemy of the queen mother in power."
Chang Xi sneered in his heart, these sycophants seemed to be really drunk, and when they said these words in a grand manner, it was rumored that a single word was a capital crime.
She also had a faint throbbing pain in her heart, if someone had accused Liu Ying so paranoid before, she would definitely stand up and refute it, Liu Ying is kind and gentle, he is a good emperor.
But after all, it was the idea of her previous life, and now she has also fallen into rumors, she has a terrible thought in her heart, and she is also hating Liu Ying's cowardice.
Liu Zhang didn't listen to a word of their words, his mind was all on this wine, he was drunk to the depths, took out the peiyu on his waist and spread it in his hands to admire it.
Chang Xi poured wine glasses one by one, and when he walked to Liu Zhang's side, he stepped on his skirt, and his body tilted thinking that he was about to fall to the ground.
Liu Zhang was suddenly knocked down, his hand shook and loosened the jade pendant, and when he raised his head, he saw a gentle body turning upside down towards him.
He instinctively reached out and took it into his arms, blinked his eyes vigorously to drive away some drunkenness, and then saw clearly that it was a woman who fell into his arms.
She was still a woman with tattered and smelly clothes and a dirty face.
