The housekeeper had been guarding the door for a long time, waiting for Nangong to come back.

"Lord Wang, you're back."

"Hmm."

The man's thin lips were pursed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was anger hidden in his eyes.

There is a cold atmosphere that no one should enter.

The face under the mask was not as relaxed as it was before entering the palace.

It can be seen that this trip to the palace has caused something bad for his mood.

He is in front of the fork in the road at the moment, and to the left is Mu Xue's Fengluan Hall through the arch, and to the right through the cloister is the Fuyun Hall of Na Jiupei.

"Lord Wang, early this morning, the girl Guocui from the Fuyun Palace went to buy fat powder for Aunt Jiu again."

The housekeeper saw that the prince had been staring at the direction of Aunt Jiu's courtyard, and said such a sentence in a timely manner.

"Hmm."

Roll her throat indifferently.

There was an obscure light flashing in his eyes, could it be that the prince suddenly entered the palace and had something to do with her?

"There's one more thing, lord."

"Say."

The housekeeper was a little unspeakable, but he still said slowly: "Lord Wang, Aunt Jiu, she went to the Fengluan Palace in person last night and ruined the princess's face. ”

Hearing that his face was ruined, there was a moment of anger in his eyes.

This is the first time, Nangong Li is really annoyed by Na Jiupei in his heart.

It seemed that he felt the dull and depressed aura around the prince, and the butler considered his tone more carefully what he wanted to say.

"Then this morning, there was a rumor in the palace."

He pursed his lips, he had only been out for a morning, why did this house look like a mess?

"What rumors?"

"They all said, they all said that Aunt Jiu was doing things according to your instructions."

After saying this carefully, the housekeeper didn't dare to look up at the prince, bowed his head and waited for the order.

"It's not a rumor, this king did say this yesterday."

But Nangong Li was very awkward in his heart.

The orders he gives, and his subordinates carry them out, and that's all right.

But Aunt Jiu personally killed the past, which really refreshed people's perception of Aunt Jiu.

"The princess also woke up this morning, and sent someone to send something to you, saying that she was unscrupulous last night and offended the prince, and she felt very guilty, so she came here to apologize."

Hearing this, he strode in the footsteps of a meteor, and his tone contained serious suspicion.

"She makes amends?"

Not only was she sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed last night, but she was so stubborn that Nangong Li was angry when she looked at it.

After cultivating his temperament over the years, there are few things that make him so angry.

She was tortured to the point of fainting last night, and she didn't hear her say a word about her mistake.

There are two points of resemblance to him.

They are all people who don't give up easily.

So when the man woke up today, he asked people to come and make amends?

Nangong Li subconsciously shook his head, and quickly denied this point in his heart.

Unless the sun hits the west and comes out, it's pretty much the same.

"Well, I heard Fei Qi say so, the little one has already been accepted for you. And today, I heard from the house doctor that in addition to the injury on her face, the princess's leg disease is also quite serious, do you want to take a look? ”

He stopped as he went to the study, and glanced at the red tiles of the high walls of the Fengluan Palace, which could not be denied.

In the end, he didn't go over, and had a meal prepared and sent to the study.

"Lord Wang."

At this moment, Jiang Ci held the white jade porcelain enamel vase in his hand and walked over, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Say."

He seemed to have other things to attend to, so he dipped his pen and began to write.

His words, like himself, are arrogant and majestic, but they are very restrained.

"This is this morning, the princess ordered Fei Qi to send it over, saying that it was an apology."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

He was so busy with what he was doing that he didn't even lift his eyelids.

But he also knew that if it weren't for the greasy or weird inside, this Jiang Ci would not have deliberately brought it to him.

"Both vases have five dispersions in them. And when Fei Qi sent it over, she also deliberately said that this thing was given to the princess by Aunt Jiu, and the princess only glanced at it twice and then sent it to you. ”

Doubts rose in his eyes, and he finally stopped writing and pulled the tone high: "Five returns?" ”

"Yes."

In reply, this Jiang Ci took out a handkerchief from his arms, spread it out in front of Nangong Li, and pointed to the five returns in the handkerchief to explain in detail.

"This is the five guisan poured from the bottom of the two vases, and the portion is quite sufficient."

"Smelling these five dispersions can damage people's texture, and it is extremely difficult to heal a slightly broken wound with these powders, which is not a good thing."

Nangong Li has his own small medicine shop, so he is naturally familiar with these things.

This enamel vase passed through two places, from the Fuyun Palace, to the Fengluan Palace, and finally fell in his funeral hall.

If it is said that the five returns in this are scattered, it must have been put in by one of them.

"Yes, my lord. This princess is new to her, she may not have such a poison, right? ”

When Jiang Ci said this sentence in a skeptical tone, Nangong Li glanced at him in surprise.

"Are you speaking for the princess?"

Nangong Li's gaze fell on him, as if he wanted to see through the thoughts of this subordinate.

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just say the analysis in their hearts."

Nangong Li suppressed the little displeasure that rose in his heart, or he was even more unhappy because he couldn't find the reason why he was annoyed.

It's a vicious circle.

"But the subordinates are also curious, even if the princess doesn't accept the things sent by Aunt Jiu, it's just a matter of putting them in the warehouse, why do they want to transfer them to you? Is she really just here to make amends? ”

Make amends?

Nangong Li shook his head, his eyes casually skimming over the pile of five returns.

"She should have known that Jiu Pei had put good things in here, so she sent it over."

Thinking of this, Nangong Li felt that this woman was still very interesting.

"Lord Wang, how can you be sure? Even if the princess knew that it was not clean, it should have fallen dust, could she not recognize this thing? ”

Oh, yes.

These five returns are scattered like loess, delicate as dust in the wind, and the smell is even more subtle and difficult to distinguish.

Could it be that this princess can see it at a glance?

Of course Mu Xue saw it, otherwise with so many wounds on her body now, and putting that thing in her room, she was afraid that she would never heal one day.

But on this point, to be honest, Nangong Li doesn't know very well.

But this little thing still seems to have some brains, not as pus-filled and stupid as he once heard.

"Cleaned up here?"

As he spoke, he tapped the two vases on the elbows with the barrel of the bone china wolf pen in his hand.

The porcelain bone smashed on the white porcelain, and the crisp sound lingered in the room, which was indeed of superior quality.

"Cleaned up."

"Take it, this king go and see that little thing."

In fact, unconsciously, his tone was not as sharp as when he targeted Mu Xue last night, and even faintly brought some spoiling that he had never before.

At this point, the time for lunch has passed.

His little thing was tortured enough by him last night.

At this moment, he was looking at the two large bowls of black decoction in front of him, and under the attention of Fei Qi's friendly eyes, he picked up a bowl of steaming decoction.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll drink."

As she spoke, she picked up the medicine bowl and drank all the bitter medicines in small sips without trying to hurt the scars on her face.

"Come, princess, eat some candied fruit, go to the bitterness."

Mu Xue took all the plates of candied fruit in her arms, and when she saw that she went over there to stir up the charcoal fire in the stove for herself, she gossiped: "Fei Qi, how many years have you been in the palace?" ”

Fei Qi put down the long iron in his hand and replied respectfully: "Back to the princess, the slave maid has been sold to the palace since she was a child, and after this winter, it will be ten years. ”

Mu Xue sighed, this Fei Qi didn't look much older than her, at most twenty.

"Seeing that you are not very old, you are safe in doing things, and you are considerate, I see that the subordinates of this Fengluan Palace are quite respectful of you."

When she said this, Mu Xue's eyes kept falling on her face, wanting to observe her expression when she heard this.

But Fei Qi looked respectful and lowered his head and replied.

"It's the prince who values it, and at the beginning of this year, the prince promoted me to be the first-class girl of this Fengluan Palace."

Mu Xue raised her eyes and saw that she was wary, so she stopped asking about her.

"Then since you have been serving in the palace for so long, has our prince been so tolerant of the Jiu Pei of the Fuyun Palace?"

"It's not always, since the study caught fire three years ago, the prince has been extremely tolerant of Aunt Jiu."

To say that tolerance is to be modest, it is simply to the point of connivance.

"It just so happens that I'm also bored, you tell me about the fire three years ago, since the concubine has already married, she naturally needs to know this."

"Yes, the princess wants to listen, and the slave and maid naturally know everything."

Mu Xue was kneading the upper parts of her legs and feet at the moment to relieve some of the pain.

Like listening to a story, listen to the story of the fire three years ago.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve three years ago, Wang Ye went to the palace for a banquet and drank too much wine. When he came back, it was already very late, and as soon as the prince came back, he fell asleep in the side room of the study. ”

"No one knows how the fire started, but it was fierce and started from inside the house. Xu is the prince drank too much, and when he entered the room, he knocked over the candle shelf. At that time, the fire was so big that it alarmed the people in the house, and everyone was fetching water to put out the fire, but no one dared to rush in to take a look. ”

"But that Jiupei rushed in, didn't he?"

Mu Xue seemed to have guessed the storyline of the development below, and guessed it casually.

"Yes, at that time, the slave maid saw Aunt Jiu pour a bucket of cold water on herself, and then rushed in without hesitation."

"Hearing you say this, Jiu Pei is sincere to the prince, knowing that there is a fire in it, and he wants to go in to save your prince who has drunk too much."

There is a great deal of doubt in these words.

also with great ridicule.

Fei Qi seemed to be caught in the memory, nodded when he heard the words, and sighed: "Yes, the fire was ruthless, the prince and Aunt Jiu were both disfigured, and the prince was grateful in his heart, so he accepted her as an aunt, and loved her very much." ”

Mu Xue lowered her head in contemplation.

Fei Qi saw that she was thinking seriously, and persuaded as if unintentionally: "Princess, now our courtyard only needs to know that the prince loves Aunt Jiu, and the old thing cannot be mentioned again, and Aunt Jiu's face injury cannot be mentioned." In this way, the prince will not target Niangniang. ”
