Since that yen Chu Feng gave the silver luan bracelet to Ning Liuying, the two have a common heart, and they seem to have some different tacit understandings.

Yuan Chufeng never summoned other concubines in the mansion again, including Qingzhi.

One day, in the room of Qingzhi.

The maid who was serving beside Qingzhi looked anxious, she stood next to Qingzhi who was holding a book and reading, and couldn't help but say:

"Madam, it's been a long time since the prince has summoned you! I heard that the prince rests in Mrs. Liuying's room every day, why are you not in a hurry at all, madam! ”

"It's rough, what does it look like!" Qing Zhi glanced at the maid, and said with some dissatisfaction, her body had no intention of moving at all.

The maid saw that her master was still so indifferent that she was about to cry.

"Madam, the slave knows that you are clever and is not in a hurry for these things. It's just that although the prince didn't stay in your room in the past, he would usually call you to do the ink grinding in the study. Now the prince has been completely hooked by Mrs. Liuying, and I am afraid that even a concubine will not stay in the house in the future! ”

Listening to the maid's words, Qingzhi's heart "chuckled", and she actually felt a little panicked in her heart.

It has been half a month since the last time Yuan Chufeng summoned her to the study to polish ink.

In the past half a month, Yuan Chufeng has been staying in Ning Liuying's room every day, although there is no news now, but I don't know what Ning Liuying is going to say that she is pregnant.

Moreover, it is rumored in the mansion that Ning Liuying will probably be promoted to be the side lady in the near future, and she will be half a mistress in the palace by then!

Thinking of this, Qing Zhi put the book in her hand on the table, her expression was very gloomy, "It's just that the prince doesn't summon me now, what's the use of you being in a hurry here?" If Ning Liuying is fortunate enough to be promoted to be Mrs. Side, let's have a good relationship with her. ”

"Madam, never!" The maid was so anxious that she turned around, "There has never been a side lady in this palace, and Mrs. Liuying has received the first favor." According to the prince's temperament, if he dismisses the concubines of the palace for Mrs. Liuying in the future, how should you deal with yourself, Madame! ”

"What nonsense!" Qing Zhi scolded, but her mind was uncontrollably thinking of this terrible consequence.

She bit it, got up and walked out the door.

That's it, Yuan Chufeng doesn't see her, can't she find the past by herself!

Qingzhi went out, took the maid and carried another food box, and walked all the way to the palace study.

At this time of the day, Yuan Chufeng usually handled official business in the study, but now although he does not recruit Qingzhi to serve on his side, this habit should not change.

Sure enough, as soon as Qing Zhi knocked on the door of the study, Yuan Chufeng's cold voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Qingzhi instructed the maid to stay outside the house, and entered the house alone with the food box.

She walked up to Yuan Chufeng gracefully, bowed her head and saluted him, "Say hello to the prince." ”

"Why are you here?" Yuan Chufeng asked lightly.

He was dealing with official business, and at this time he was staring intently at the official document in his hand, and when he heard Qingzhi's voice asking for peace, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Qing Zhi stood in place, a little embarrassed for a moment.

Although Yuan Chufeng's previous attitude was not very warm, he had never been so cold, and sure enough, he must have been hooked by Ning Liuying's fox!

A trace of resentment and grievance suddenly flashed in Qingzhi's eyes, but she hid her emotions well, changed to a smile, and put the food box in her hand on the desk in front of Yuan Chufeng.

She opened the food box and took out the pastries inside, and said with a smile: "The prince must have been tired from his busy official duties recently, and I thought that the prince used to love to eat the jade cake I made, so I brought some and asked the prince to try it." ”

As he was talking, the two small plates of jade fu cakes were placed on the desk, and Qing Zhi also pushed the pastries in front of Yuan Chufeng, with an expectant expression on her face.

Yuan Chufeng still looked faint, "This king knows, I've worked hard for you, go down." ”

Hearing that Yuan Chufeng directly ordered the expulsion, Qingzhi felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

Of course, it was impossible for her to leave at this time, so she directly retreated to the side and sharpened the ink for Yuan Chufeng.

"Lord Wang, you were not like this before. You always say that Qingzhi is smart and likes me to sharpen ink for you and solve problems. If the prince still trusts me, if you have any worries and worries, you can tell me, and I will try my best to answer for the prince as before. ”

Hearing Qingzhi say this, Yuan Chufeng slowly raised his gaze, touched his chin and said, "Oh? This king has really had something troublesome recently, and I don't know if you want to hear it. ”

"As long as the prince wants to speak, I will always be the prince's listener." A flush appeared on Qing Zhi's face, and she replied shyly.

Yuan Chufeng laughed meaninglessly, and slowly spoke: "In the previous incident of the burning of Huixin Pavilion, this king has been tracking down the arsonist. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and really let the king intercept an unexpected person in the gambling house in the city, that is, the maid who identified Mrs. Liuying as arson. ”

The king took the maid back to the house for interrogation, not wanting that the maid could not bear the punishment, so he confessed that the person who set the fire that night had already gone. Today, the king has put the arsonist in the palace for interrogation, but he is worried about whether he will be able to confess to the person who directed him behind the scenes. ”

"- Qingzhi, what do you think?"

After listening to Yuan Chufeng's words, Qingzhi thundered at the top!

What the hell is going on! Obviously, she had already instructed the maid to arrange for them to go out of the city that day, how could they not go out of the city and still fool around in the gambling house in the city!

"Angelica angelica?" Seeing that Qingzhi didn't react, Yuan Chufeng called her again, "You are a woman, I'm afraid you can't listen to these things, if you feel inconvenient to discuss this matter with this king, it's okay." ”

He looked at Qingzhi with a smile, as if he already knew everything.

Regarding the arson of Huixin Pavilion, Yuan Chufeng knew in his heart that this must have been done by the concubines in the mansion in order to persecute Ning Liuying.

And the person most likely to do this is probably Qingzhi, who is quite deep in the city government and has a close relationship with him.

Although he has no evidence yet, as long as the man who deliberately set the fire is willing to open his mouth to identify it, the truth can be revealed.

Under heavy torture, I am not afraid that he will not speak.

At this time, Qingzhi's forehead was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Hearing Yuan Chufeng call her, she smiled very reluctantly, and stumbled in response: "Lord Wang...... The prince is wise, he can track down the arsonist, it seems that the real murderer will be found out in a few days, I congratulate the prince first......"

Saying that, Qing Zhi lowered her head and said goodbye to Yuan Chufeng, "Lord Wang, I am a little unwell, so I will go back first, and please enjoy this jade cake slowly." ”

"Go ahead." Yuan Chufeng didn't stop her.

got the promise, Qingzhi hurriedly withdrew from Yuan Chufeng's study, and didn't even dare to reply.

As soon as she walked out of the study, the maid greeted her, saw that she was sweating profusely, and asked suspiciously, "Madame, what's the matter, why is she sweating so much?" ”

Qing Zhi ignored her and returned to her room without saying a word.

When she closed the door, she sighed heavily.

"Something is wrong!"
