She took two steps forward, and a flash of suspicion flashed in her mind, but the afterimage in her mind had already been disturbed before it had even formed.

The door behind him was pushed open, and it turned out that Jiu Pei walked in with a cup of soup full of color and fragrance, and Guocui behind him also had some fruit snacks in his hands.

"Princess, you've been busy all morning, and you're tired, so take a break with some snacks."

Mu Xue turned her head and looked over, if it weren't for the fact that this person scratched her face before, she thought that this Jiu Pei would still be okay.

But she looked at the soup that was still steaming over there, and she denied herself in her heart.

Yesterday, she was still thinking about whether there was a problem with this Jiupei's eating, it seemed that she had the wrong brain, after all, the food had to be changed differently every day, and if she used her hands and feet in the food every day, it was extremely easy to be exposed.

She once again fixed her eyes on the incense burner that was still burning with green smoke, and asked her with a chuckle, "What kind of incense do you light in this hall, it smells very comfortable." ”

Jiu Pei put down the things in his hand, and then there was a touch of joy on his face: "This is agarwood incense, which is said to be used by the ladies in the palace." Because the concubine's room is dedicated to the Bodhisattva, and a little sandalwood is wrapped in it, when my face was just injured, I couldn't sleep all night in pain, and it was the prince who specially asked the house doctor to adjust this incense, so as not to keep me awake at night. ”

She spoke with a sense of pride, as if she was showing off the prince's favor to her with Mu Xue.

But Mu Xue's heart was even colder, and when she closed her eyes, she looked at the unknown place, pulled the corners of her lips and asked her to beg: "Last night, the concubine was restless at night, and the fragrance in my room was not as sweet as yours, do you have more?" Why don't you send some to this concubine? ”

"Okay, since the princess likes it, I'll ask Guocui to pack some for you to take home, and you can sleep peacefully at night."

After that, this Jiu Pei hurriedly let Guocui wrap a large bag of agarwood incense into Yunzhi's hands.

And Mu Xue has been busy all morning, thinking about things and wasting her physical strength, and she is really hungry at the moment.

Thinking of this, she took it for granted and picked up the soup brought by Jiu Pei, and used it slowly.

Jiu Pei hid words in his heart, and began to ask her sideways.

"I heard that the father-in-law in the palace came to the palace again yesterday, hey, if you want me to say, there must be some kind of banquet The emperor wants to let the prince enter the palace."

Mu Xue's movements paused, glanced at her, and gossiped a few words.

"According to your words, auntie, did your father-in-law often come to the house this week before?"

"Yes, last year's Emperor's Halloween, Gonggong Zhou made two trips back and forth, but they were all in vain. Princess, you also know, our prince doesn't like to be lively, he doesn't like to go out, and every time this week, his father-in-law returns in vain, but the emperor is generous, and I have never heard that the emperor has ever been angry with our prince. ”

Listening to it in her ears, Mu Xue remembered the words that the man had told her after dinner last night.

Seeing that Mu Xue was silent, Jiu Pei pushed the dim sum in the direction of Mu Xue, and then said with a sigh: "But presumably the prince must have refused the emperor's invitation again yesterday, after all, the injury on the prince's face is not complete, how can he go out to meet people." ”

"He didn't refuse."

Mu Xue said this sentence very naturally when she drank the soup, and then said: "The prince originally refused, but I thought that I had not entered the palace to ask the emperor and the queen for so many years since I got married, and I was ready to take advantage of the prince's birthday to take the concubine to meet the world." ”

Mu Xue originally just mentioned it casually, after all, when they entered the palace, wouldn't this Aunt Jiu still have to know?

So she felt that there was nothing to hide from this thing.

But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Jiu Pei secretly kept this matter in mind, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, princess, you were born to the country and the city, and you take proper care of the prince's body, this time it is the prince who accompanies you into the palace, presumably the emperor and the queen will definitely like you." ”

Mu Xue didn't take such polite words to heart, and thought of the three words of the old witch woman who gritted her teeth last night, thinking about it, she still didn't want to be liked by the queen, so that she could save her life.

A bowl of soup quickly bottomed out, and after Mu Xue was full, she used a box to put away all the round bowls on her table, and then carried the box of useless medicine and prepared to leave.

"You don't need to use these medicines in the future, this concubine will naturally give you new medicines, but you can't be in a hurry, during this period, what you eat and what you use, you have to listen to this concubine, understand?"

She had to hurry back to see if there was anything hidden in the spice.

If there is really a problem in the spices, then this man's special favor is too terrifying, the more special the favor, the more trapped.

After explaining this long list of words, this Mu Xue was ready to leave.

But just waiting here, how can this Jiu Pei sit still.

"Princess, this..."

"The wounds on the skin, the most taboo is to rush to the doctor in a hurry, I see so many ointments you use, I know that you are in a hurry, but you have to know the truth that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you wait slowly, this concubine has prepared the medicine, and she will send someone to send it to you."

Mu Xue's tone was wrapped in the coldness of midwinter, coupled with her hurried pace of going out, Jiu Pei couldn't force people to stay in her room anymore.

At this moment, she stood on the steps and watched Mu Xue walk away in a daze.

Just now, she looked at Mu Xue's serious expression when she looked at the pulse case, and she had a strange feeling in her heart, she regretted that she was carried away by jealousy that day and rushed to the Fengluan Hall to scratch Mu Xue's face.

For the first time, she felt that she had done something wrong, and for the first time, she wanted to apologize to someone because of her arrogance.

She never understood in her heart that the apology she had had was just talking, without a little sincerity.

Mu Xue also understood.

Now that I apologized, she still didn't say it after all, obviously there were many opportunities this morning.

At this moment, she looked at Mu Xue's back along the trail, and she didn't retract her gaze until there was no shadow of the person leaving.

After Mu Xue returned to Fengluan Palace, she instructed Yun Zhi: "Concubine Ben has to deal with some things in the room today, don't come in and disturb Concubine Ben if you have nothing to do." ”

Yunzhi's steps stopped outside the door, and he nodded in response when he heard this.

"Yes, what about lunch?"

"I've already used it at Aunt Jiu's, so let's stop the kitchenette from making my lunch at noon."

"Yes, the slave knows."

"Hmm."

After a simple hum, Mu Xue entered the door with the box of ointment that Jiu Pei had used, and bolted the door with a bolt from the inside.

She sat at the table and began to carefully distinguish the ingredients contained in this packet of agarwood incense, she carefully put it under her nose and sniffed it, and then precipitated a part of it with water, and burned a part of it with a small silver yuan, from which she could distinguish it carefully....

Tossing back and forth like this for an hour, what she found made Mu Xue's heart sink more and more.

Salicylic acid is added to this fragrance, which is extremely corrosive to the skin.

It's just that the taste of salicylic acid is not very good, and it will be a little pungent when you light the incense, but this is matched with agarwood and sandalwood, which neutralizes the pungent smell and replaces it with a sweet breath that makes people sleepy.

Her head was buzzing and her scalp tingling.

She disposed of all these things with a pale face, and her hand trembled a little as she touched the unused bag of spices again.

This prince's tricks to harm people are really powerful, killing people invisibly, that's what he said.

At this moment, her mind remembered the unconcealable pride that Jiu Pei felt when she mentioned this spice, and she felt a chill in her body, and she shuddered when she thought about it.

Will he use this kind of routine against himself in the future, which he doesn't even know?

Mu Xue's brain was buzzing, and at this moment, she was thinking for the first time that she wanted to leave a way back for herself, lest she be sold by this prince in the future and still count the money for him.

And her back road is naturally to use what she is best at to expand her territory.

It's only been less than a month since she got married, and she's already thinking about a way back for herself.

The first thing she had to do was to buy herself a secret house, lest she have no use value in the future and be kicked away by this man, and then she will not even have a place to stay.

And this kind of thing has to be done quietly, and she doesn't even want to tell Yunzhi.

In the midst of all this thought, the sky had already darkened, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Mu Xue raised her eyes again, and she couldn't see the bag of spices paralyzed there, but the shadow brought by this bag of spices kept lingering around Mu Xue's body, as if she couldn't get rid of it.

"Knock Knock Knock ....."

There was a knock on the door outside, which shocked Mu Xue's heart.

Like a frightened finch, she jerked her head in the direction of the gate.

"Princess?"

Yun Zhi sounded from outside the door with a little worry, it turned out that Yun Zhi saw that it was dark now, and the princess had not come out of the room, and had locked herself in this room for so long, so she couldn't help but knock on the door worriedly.

At this moment, she put her head on the door and listened for a while, and found that there was still no movement inside, and wrinkled her eyebrows to wonder if the princess was asleep, so she called again: "Princess? Are you asleep? ”

There was still no movement in the room, and the candles were not lit, and she couldn't help but be more worried.

But when she was about to knock on the door again, Jiang Ci's voice came from behind her.

"Yunzhi girl."

This Jiang Ci's sudden voice startled Yunzhi, she turned her head suddenly, and was relieved when she saw that it was Jiang Ci.

"It turned out to be Lord Jiang."

"Miss Yunzhi, the prince said that he would invite the princess to go to the funeral hall for dinner, and I would like to ask Miss Yunzhi to give me a good voice."

After saying this, Jiang Ci found that the door of the princess's room was closed, and it was still dark, as if there was no one inside, and asked Yunzhi for some unknown reasons: "Miss Yunzhi, what is this?" ”

"Oh, the princess didn't sleep well last night, and the slave also called for a while, but the princess seems to be asleep."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the door opening came from behind Yunzhi.......
