This exclamation naturally attracted the attention of others, everyone was already tired, and they were suddenly disturbed to rest, and they all rubbed their sleepy eyes and counted the people who made a sound. When Jiang Qingran and Zhou Meihong saw this scene, their expressions of success hung on their faces, and they couldn't hide it.

Ansu glared at them, uncovered the entire bed, and saw a dying centipede the thickness of an arm, writhing its body on the bed with its teeth and claws. No wonder Bo Churuo would be frightened, such a big centipede, ordinary women would be afraid, not to mention that Bo Churuo had been frightened again and again since he entered the palace.

But Ansu is not an ordinary woman, she helped her father work in the fields when she was young, and she has long been accustomed to seeing snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Glancing back at Jiang Qingran, who was still snickering, An Su calmly walked to the cabinet and took out her and Zhou Meihong's dishes and chopsticks.

"Hey! Shangguan Ansu, what do you want to do? Jiang Qingran's shout woke everyone up again, and they also received a burst of scolding. She quickly shut up and stared at An Su with only a pair of eyes, but in the next second, a frightened look appeared in her eyes, and Zhou Meihong beside her was the same.

I saw An Su use the chopsticks of the two of them to clamp the centipede into the bowl, and the centipede was on the verge of death, and it was no longer struggling at this time. An Su put the dishes and chopsticks in front of the two of them, and let them shrink to the wall with the quilt, and An Su only concentrated on what she was doing.

"Centipedes have too many legs, but some people have too long legs, and they always like to stretch out where they shouldn't." An Su used chopsticks to pick up the centipede, and then used another chopstick to tear off its legs one by one, "If there are many centipede legs, just remove a few, if the human legs are too long, what should I do?" Let's talk about it. ”

"Take it! Take it away! Jiang Qingran lowered his voice, but there was panic and fear in his tone that could not be concealed.

"Let me tell you! If a man's leg is too long, then break it, so that he does not stretch it out and trip over others, and bear the charge of colliding. An Su finished disposing of the centipede, and easily buckled the dishes and chopsticks to Jiang Qingran's head. With a terrible scream, Jiang Qingran fainted.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing!" Mama Qin's reprimanding voice came from outside.

Zhou Meihong was about to shout, but An Su hurriedly took the lead: "Mama, we are all asleep, someone has a nightmare!" ”

Listening to Mama Qin's footsteps and gradually walking away, An Su turned around again and smiled at Zhou Meihong: "Okay, now you can sleep." But An Su knew that Zhou Meihong was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

The next day, they were still learning the rules of the palace, Jiang Qingran and Zhou Meihong had two big black circles under their eyes, and they were also weak to work, which provoked Mama Qin to reprimand her several times. But as soon as the two of them caught a glimpse of Ansu, they swallowed all the monstrous resentment, and the deterrent power of the centipede last night was no less than a board for them.

On the other hand, An Su was in good spirits, and while she was washing clothes, she observed the eunuchs passing by with blazing eyes. These people who were able to patrol the palace roads must have been in the palace for a while, and if the young monarch was new to the palace, he would probably not be among them. But she is in the palace maid's house, and there are not many places she can go, and if she wants to find her brother, she has to rely on the strength of others.

"You two, come with me to Zhaoyang Hall to deliver pastries to Mrs. Luoyan."

An Su's thoughts were pulled back by Mama Qin's call. Originally, the family members who had just entered the palace maid's house did not have to do things in front of the masters, but occasionally when they were busy with internal affairs, they would also pick a few clever helpers. Obviously, An Su and Chu Ruo became the clever palace maids selected by Mama Qin.

The layout of each palace had already been memorized by them before, but now that they were following Mama Qin, they didn't have to bother to recognize the way, so An Su glanced to the side with his spare eyes. The walls of the palace are tall enough to shock everyone who sees them for the first time, and they are all red bricks, which are fine when the weather is fine, but when it rains, the colors are extraordinarily bright, like the colors of death row inmates rushing to the execution ground.

The palace people next to them all hurried by, and the palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads, and only the road ahead was left as far as their eyes could see. Only the masters in the palace are qualified to hold their heads high, and they can freely look at the sky, the clouds, the hall in the distance, and the outside of the palace that they can't get out of.

An Su thought, if this world is really fair, if you want to be a mother, be served and bowed down, you have to be imprisoned in this gorgeous cage for the rest of your life. And to be a palace maid, although she bows her eyebrows in front of her master, she can go out of the palace when she reaches the age of age, and some are accompanied by green waters and green mountains, and she doesn't have to spend her life in this Quartet.

After a few more steps, a plainly dressed woman in the distance was surrounded by people, and the palace people who were walking hurriedly stopped to salute. Mama Qin reminded them, and An Su and Chu Ruo also called out in the same way: "Xu Ji Niangniang is extremely happy." ”

Although An Su lowered his head slightly, his eyes quietly drifted to Xu Meiren. She has never been a person who likes to join in the fun, but the dress of this beauty is very different from the lady next to her, so she took a few more looks. I heard Mama Qin mention it before, Xu Meiren's name is called "Qiu Yi", which is as her name suggests, beautiful and pleasant. She has only been in the palace for three or two months, and she has won the emperor's favor, and her grace is almost comparable to that of Mrs. Emei.

"Oops!" When Xu Meiren and her party walked in front of An Su, her personal maid suddenly stumbled under her feet, as if she had tripped over a stone, and fell straight down. Although it was said that it was unintentional to wrestle, it was a big deal for the maid to lose her honor in front of her master, and everyone present gasped and mourned silently for the maid in their hearts.

Who knew that Xu Meiren helped the maid up: "Moshang, are you okay?" ”

"Niangniang, the slave and maid are out of order, please punish the mother." Mo Shang knows the rules very well.

Xu Meiren smiled: "Okay, next time I look at your feet, your leg is bruised, remember to wipe it with ointment when you go back." ”

An Su also slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, in this deep palace, such a magnanimous master is rare. She lowered her head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the place where Fang Cai Moshang fell, dropping a milky white sachet. The ornament on this sachet is very special, and at first glance, it is the style that only high-ranking concubines can take, and it looks very suitable for Xu Beauty's plain clothes.

"Xu Ji Niangniang, just now Miss Moshang fell and left a sachet." An Su picked up the sachet and handed it over, and suddenly saw a small hole in the corner of the sachet, so he reminded again, "The bottom of the sachet is damaged, the girl should be careful when holding it." ”

Xu Meiren took the sachet one step ahead of Mo Shang, and smiled at An Su: "Thank you." ”

This surprised An Su, it was the first time she had seen a master thank the palace people, maybe this Xu Meiren's temperament was indeed as good as rumored.

Fang was far away, and he could only see Xu Meiren wearing elegant clothes, and she didn't wear many accessories. Now that I'm closer, I have a chance to see her appearance carefully. Although it is not as beautiful as a fairy, it is also beautiful and has a quiet beauty. An Su looked at Xu Meiren's smile, and felt that the breeze was blowing on her face, which made people feel refreshed.

After Xu Meiren left, the people on the palace road resumed their previous hurried behavior. An Su's sharp eyes found that the place where the sachet fell seemed to leave something black. She took a handkerchief and tossed some of them, which looked like dried flowers, and some small brown particles.

This dried flower looks very familiar, and the second brother Changjun occasionally couldn't sleep when he was young, so he used a similar dried flower to sleep under the pillow to help him sleep. Ansu picked it up and sniffed it, there would be no mistake, this smell was indeed a mandala flower. But although this flower has the effect of helping sleep, it is also poisonous, and the slightest carelessness can damage itself.

Just now, looking at Xu Meiren and Mo Xiang's expressions, they don't look like people who are troubled by insomnia, why do they carry sachets made of mandala flowers with them? And what are those tiny particles next to it? Although this matter has nothing to do with herself, An Su still keeps an eye on it, she uses a handkerchief to put away the dried flowers and small particles together, and goes back to figure it out, which may come in handy in the future.

"Why are you still stunned? Mrs. Luoyan is still waiting there! Mama Qin scolded, and An Su and Chu Ruocai hurriedly followed.

"Sister Shangguan, that Xu Meiren just now was so gentle!" Bo Churuo looked longing.

An Su subconsciously glanced at the handkerchief that had just been put away, and nodded sincerely: "Yes!" I hope she is safe. ”

Mrs. Luoyan's Zhaoyang Hall was a little far away from the palace maids, and when they walked, a dense layer of sweat had appeared on their foreheads. Mama Qin instructed that before seeing the master, you must tidy yourself up, if the poor appearance annoys the master, it is possible to punish lightly and heavily.

But the more she sorted it out, the more sweat on Mama Qin's head became, and An Su felt that something was wrong. The painful expression on Mama Qin's face became more and more obvious, and she couldn't help bending down, holding on to the palace gate with trembling hands.

"Mama, what's wrong with you?"

"If you have a leg disease, it's not in the way, just rest for a while." An Su and Chu Ruo sat down next to the palace gate with Mama Qin in their arms. In this palace, many of the older palace maids and eunuchs have leg diseases, and they have seen their masters kneel down and salute for many years, and their legs can't hold up even if they are beaten with iron for a long time.

said it was good to rest for a while, but after resting for a while, Mama Qin still hurt badly, and she couldn't get up straight after trying several times.

"Mama, let Chu Ruo help you go back to rest first." An Su brought the pastries, "I'll send these pastries to Mrs. Luoyan!" ”

Now that she has arrived near the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to find the direction, so Mama Qin instructed An Su a few words and asked her to deal with it carefully in front of her master.

Zhaoyang Hall is a rare quiet place in the harem, Mrs. Luoyan doesn't like too many people to serve, and with the permission of the emperor, she only left the palace people she selected, and all the rest were sent elsewhere. However, even though nearly half of the palace people in the Zhaoyang Hall were sent away, the housekeeping in the hall was still well organized. As soon as An Su entered the palace gate, he saw a neatly repaired flower garden, and a eunuch squatting next to him sprinkled water.

The eunuch's work was neat, An Su glanced sideways a few times, and bumped into a palace maid who was in a hurry, but fortunately he quickly protected the pastry and did not miss the errand. This palace maid seemed to have just come out of the Zhaoyang Palace, her face was a little frightened, but more distressed, and there seemed to be a familiar smell on her body.

After she walked by, An Su took a deep breath, this is a coincidence, what this little palace maid carries is also the smell of mandala flowers. But she didn't have time to think about it, and she had already stepped into the Zhaoyang Palace. After waiting at the door of the inner hall for a while, a little palace maid finally came out, and An Su hurriedly stepped forward.

"This sister, the slave maid was sent by the imperial dining room to deliver pastries to Wen Ji Niangniang, please let my sister pass it on."

"It's really unfortunate, Wen Ji Niangniang is not in the palace, you can just give me the pastries." The little palace maid spoke quite politely.

Ansu did as she said and handed her the pastry. It was only while she was waiting that she distinctly heard the voice of someone talking in the inner sanctum. However, in the huge harem, everyone has secrets, and An Su knows that to survive here, he must say less and ask less. She pretended that everything was as usual, said a few polite words to the little palace maid, and hurried back to the palace maid's house.

Walking back out of the Zhaoyang Palace, on the way I met several elderly eunuchs to salute the master, and after kneeling, I could only hold my legs and get up, and An Su remembered Mama Qin's leg disease again.

If you want to find clues about her younger brother, with the characters she can reach, Mama Qin is undoubtedly the best candidate. But if you go to her for no reason to ask, you may get a cold face. Mama Qin has some appreciation for her, but An Su knows that this appreciation is far from the level where she can inquire about her younger brother's whereabouts. If I can find a way to alleviate Mama Qin's leg disease, maybe ......

Thinking about this along the way, An Su unknowingly walked into a fork in the road. This fork in the road is very similar to the side where it should go, and the red brick palace wall next to it is also the same, and An Su walked for a long time before he faintly noticed it.

Retracting his thoughts and looking up, the place he passed by was Huanning Palace, which was where Xu Meiren lived. Now that I've reached the shelter, I don't know where to go. In the past, Mama Qin's teaching only talked about the palace where the masters lived, and this was probably the residence of the palace people.

"I heard that among the eunuchs who have recently entered the palace, there are many extremely beautiful looks, when are we free and go to take a look?" The two palace maids who walked by next to them saw that there was no one around, so they whispered gossip.

"yes, I've heard that, too. It's just that no matter how beautiful it is, what's the use, it's not that you have entered the palace and become a eunuch, and that's it in this life. ”

"Two sisters, I want to ask you, is that the residence of the eunuch in front of you?" When An Su heard them mention the eunuchs who had just entered the palace, he happened to come forward to ask.

The two looked An Su up and down: "Yes, you want to go and see it too?" ”

An Su thought for a while and replied: "Not long after I entered the palace, I inevitably felt lonely, and I heard that there was a fellow villager among the new eunuchs, so I came to look for it." If you can find it, you can take care of each other. ”

"If you want to look for someone, it's not the right time to come, they are all on an errand in broad daylight!" One of the palace maids pointed to An Sudao, "If you want to come, you have to stay at night, except for those who are on duty at night, most of the new eunuchs stay in their residences at night." ”

"I see, then thank you sister for her advice."
