This afternoon, Aunt Lan confirmed countless times, and preliminarily concluded that Qin Yuan's fall did not lead to a slippery tire, late at night, Qin Yuan was lying crookedly on the soft couch, the corners of Aunt Lan's mouth were purple and swollen, presumably beaten by the guards, at this time, Dye Shuang came in with a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, "Master, eat it while it's hot." ”

Qin Yuan glanced at it and said lightly, "Put it on the table, and the concubine will eat it later." Aunt Lan said worriedly on the side, "The master still eats, since the ban is enough, you haven't eaten well, how can the fetus in the womb stand it?" At this time, Dye Shuang complained in a tone on the side, "What if the master eats well?" Such coarse tea and light rice are eaten in vain. ”

One sentence made a trace of gloom appear on the faces of everyone in the cabinet, and Zhang Dehai was extremely worried at this time, "Aunt Lan, are you sure that the master is okay now?" The fall at noon was really not light. This afternoon, Zhang Dehai's heart never fell, for fear that Qin Yuan would make any mistakes.

Aunt Lan nodded firmly, "The master didn't see red, it should be fine." Zhang Dehai nodded reassuringly, and Aunt Lan said with a little apology at this time, "It's all because the slave and maid were impulsive, and they didn't succeed in leaving the palace, not to mention, and let the master fall because of the slave and maid, the slave and the maid really deserve to die, fortunately, the fetus is fine, if the master and fetus are good, how can the slave and the maid explain to the deceased lady." At the end of Aunt Lan's words, her voice trembled and choked, and there were a little more tears of guilt in her eyes.

Qin Yuan smiled and shook her head, "You are also anxious for the sake of this concubine, this concubine doesn't blame you, Aunt Lan has always been calm on weekdays, but today she has become impatient." ”

"The slave and maid see that the master is suffering in this palace every day, the slave and the maid are anxious, the slave and the maid have served the lady and give birth to pregnancy, and I know that this is the time to make up for the body, master, haven't we suffered enough recently? We can't bear this breath any longer! Zhang Dehai also said indignantly at this moment, "Yes, Aunt Lan is right, master, you are suffering here now, and those evil-hearted people outside don't know how happy they are." ”

Qin Yuan tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and then whispered to Dye Shuang, "Have you remembered everything that this concubine told you in the afternoon?" Dyed Frost nodded heavily, "The slave and maid have written it down, and when they were cooking porridge for the master, the slave and maid were already ready." Qin Yuan nodded slowly, "Go ahead, don't make any mistakes." The frost should be dye down, and he hurried out of the cloud.

At this time, Qin Yuan said to Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai, "Everything is according to the plan." ”

"Yes." , Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai both had serious expressions and responded in unison.

After only listening to about a stick of incense, I heard someone outside exclaiming, "Come on, go to the water, go to the water!" Come on! ”

The three of them heard the movement outside, and hurriedly walked outside, only to see everyone in the Jinhua Hall running in the direction of the small kitchen, and when the three of them rushed to the small kitchen, the small kitchen had been lit with a raging fire, and in the dark night, the surrounding area was bright, at this time Aunt Lan hurriedly ordered, "Go get water, put out the fire quickly, if the fire spreads to the dormitory, it will be over, why are people so little?" Where did they all die? Go and call the guards too! Hurry, hurry! ”

Aunt Lan gave an order, and the steps of the eunuchs around the girls were even more brisk, Zhang Dehai also joined the ranks of firefighting, Qin Yuan just pretended to be anxious on the side, carefully observing the movements around here, at this time several guards were also busy rushing to fight the fire, after all, they all had some kung fu patience, and their movements were much more powerful and fast than the palace maids and eunuchs.

At this time, Qin Yuan and Zhou Ruiqing looked at each other, Qin Yuan nodded slowly, Zhou Ruiqing immediately understood, and hurriedly said to a eunuch beside him, "You hold the basin of water, how long will it take to extinguish the fire?" Aunt Lan, come with me to fetch the water dragon (an ancient firefighting tool). After speaking, he ran away with Aunt Lan.

Qin Yuan was staring closely at the four guards who were fighting the fire at this time, they were busy fighting the fire, and they completely ignored Zhang Dehai and Aunt Lan, and a satisfied smile instantly rose on the corner of their mouths.

After a while, Aunt Lan took the water dragon alone, the guards were strong, took the water dragon and sprayed water towards the fire, the small kitchen was not big, the fire was extinguished after a while, it was only an hour before and after, Qin Yuan saw that the fire had been saved, and stepped forward to say to the tired palace people, "Everyone is tired, it's late at night, let's go back and rest first, it's not too late to clean up here tomorrow." ”

Everyone answered, and they all scattered tiredly with pots and buckets, and the guards picked up the spears on the side and left, but they never found that Zhang Dehai was gone.

Qin Yuan returned to the dormitory and sat down, Dye Shuang hurriedly poured a glass of water and said, "The master must be tired after standing for so long, right?" Qin Yuan took a sip of water, and said to Dye Frost with a smile, "Your actions are very fast, but you can do it with a stick of incense?" Dyed Frost smiled faintly, "The slave is afraid that someone will find out that something is wrong, but she has been prepared for a long time." ”

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "It's still the master's wisdom that he can come up with such a solution." Qin Yuan suddenly smiled bitterly, "What kind of intelligence is this, it's just a sound attack, and there is no way to do it." ”

"It's just a small kitchen, and it would be nice to build it again in the future, as long as there is a chance to lift the ban."

Qin Yuan looked at the sky outside, and said indifferently, "Whether the ban can be lifted or not, it depends on Zhang Dehai." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the report from the eunuchs outside, "The Queen Mother drove to the ......", Qin Yuan hurriedly got up to greet her, only to see the Queen Mother slowly enter the dormitory, Zhang Dehai followed, Qin Yuan leaned down and saluted, "The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace." ”

The Queen Mother sat down and said in a heavy tone, "Calm down." Qin Yuan slowly got up and stood in place, the Queen Mother didn't mean to ask Qin Yuan to sit down, and said lightly, "Let's go down, the mourning family and Hui Guifei have a few words alone." The people in the palace responded and retreated.

At this time, his tone was a little stern, "Knowing that the mourning family is why you haven't persuaded the emperor to lift your ban?" Qin Yuan shook her head gently, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

"The mourning family just wants you to taste the pain of this grounding!" , A sound of indignation, made the air in the hall, as if it became tense, Qin Yuan stood in place with a heavy expression, and did not make a sound, the Queen Mother continued to say indignantly, "The mourning family just wants you to know what kind of place is in this palace, the mourning family used to spoil you too much, do you think this palace is the Xue Mansion?" Is it a place where you can play with your temper? I don't want to redeem my favor if I lose it, but for the sake of a palace maid, I lost my power and was grounded, is it worth it? ”

Faced with the Queen Mother's reprimand, Qin Yuan was naturally afraid, pursed her lips and said softly, "The concubine is reckless for a while, and I hope the Queen Mother will not be angry." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, although her tone was a little soft, but it was not serious, "The emperor is the son of the mourning family, how is the emperor's temperament, the mourning family understands, why did you fall out of favor, the mourning family doesn't want to ask, the mourning family handed you a jade pendant, you should go down and down, but you haven't done it for a long time, Yuan'er, what are you doing this for?" He is the Son of Heaven and the supreme king of the world, so how can you speak disrespectfully to him? The mourning family has been in the palace for decades, how difficult it is to sit in this position today, why did the mourning family let you enter the palace? Why do mourners think about you everywhere? Do you think that the mourning family let you enter the palace just to be an ordinary concubine and enjoy endless glory and wealth? The mourning family wants you to have something to do in the palace, you are good friends with Yi Guifei, why can't you learn something from Yi Guifei? ”

Qin Yuan swallowed a mouthful of foam and breathed a deep sigh of relief, "The queen mother's respectful teaching, the concubine remembered it, the concubine was confused for a while, and the queen mother was disappointed, and the concubine knew what to do in the future." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of deep meaning, and she said in a calm tone, "You are a smart and sensible girl, and the mourning family knows that you must have your reasons for doing this, but the mourning family hopes that you can focus on the overall situation, and the mourning family will persuade the emperor to lift your grounding." The Queen Mother looked at Qin Yuan, got up with a flat face, and walked out of the dormitory.

Qin Yuan blessed her body and said softly, "Concubine thank the Queen Mother for her grace and send the Queen Mother off." ”

After the Queen Mother was completely out of the dormitory, Qin Yuan straightened up, and after a while, Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai walked in, Zhang Dehai asked with concern, "Master, the Queen Mother didn't say anything too heavy, right?" Qin Yuan replied in a calm tone, "This concubine was reprimanded by the Queen Mother, hey, this step taken by this concubine is really confused, and now it seems that she really lost her wife and lost her soldiers." ”

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Is the jade pendant that the concubine brought from the Queen Mother a few days ago still there?"

Aunt Lan thought for a while and said, "Here, the slave maid has received it in the warehouse." Qin Yuan nodded, "Take it out tomorrow, the two of you will go to the imperial study with the palace tomorrow." ”

"Yes." , the two of them responded together, and waited for Qin Yuan to rest.
