"Meow~Meow~" An Su was quietly listening to the queen's master and servant, and the little black cat in his arms suddenly barked. She was startled, and her hand loosened, and the little black cat jumped out and went straight to the queen.

"Elf, you're back!" The queen stretched out her hands, and the little black cat jumped directly into her arms, as if it was very familiar.

Ansu was still worried that the cat would collide with the queen, but now he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out generously.

"The slave has seen the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is extremely happy."

"You sent back the elves of the main palace?" The queen stroked the fluff on the black cat while talking to Ansu.

"Yes, the slave maid saw it near the Huanning Palace, and some people who knew it said that it was raised by the queen's mother, and the slave maid sent it over." Ansu replied truthfully.

"This little guy has been out for two days, and the palace has sent people to look everywhere but can't find it, you did a good job." The queen was in a good mood, "Pear heart, reward." ”

An Su didn't shirk either, thinking that the master in the palace loved to reward food, and she would be very happy to bring it back to Chu Ruo to taste. But she didn't expect the queen's reward to be even more free, and Lixin directly took two ingots of gold and handed them to Ansu. An Su was stunned for a moment, and although he was a little surprised, he still accepted the reward. Gold was useful as a valuable item in the palace.

"Thank you, Queen." An Su saw that the queen was only concentrating on teasing the little black cat in her arms, and there were no other instructions, so she consciously withdrew.

A few days later, An Su went to Huanning Hall again, and the gift that Xu Meiren prepared for Hu Bazi was finally finished. The time has come, and the next thing to do is to see Su Zili's creation.

"Niangniang, these little clothes are so cute, could it be that Niangniang is happy?" An Su deliberately asked casually.

Xu Meiren smiled shyly: "This palace doesn't have that blessing yet, these are all for Hu Bazi's children." ”

"Hu Bazi?" An Su pretended to think, "Last time in Yuliangtai, the slave didn't seem to see this lady. ”

"Yes, Hu Bazi is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to go to a crowded place, so she politely declined Mrs. Emei's invitation."

"The slave maid was in the palace before, and I heard that this Hu Bazi was beautiful, and I would like to see it if I have the chance!" An Su touched the small clothes on the table, pretending to be whimsical, "Niangniang, why don't you let the slave send these to Hu Bazi for you!" It is also good to satisfy the mind of the slave maid to get a glimpse of the beauty. ”

Xu Meiren almost didn't hesitate, and handed her the clothes: "It's okay, you are doing things safely, and the palace is also at ease." It's just that don't delay your palace maid's errand. ”

"Slaves and maids come to talk to Niangniang in their spare time, and they are also grateful to Niangniang that they don't think slaves and maids are stupid, and they are willing to talk to slaves and maids more."

"If you're still stupid, then there won't be many smart girls in this palace." Xu Meiren laughed at her, and then urged, "Go quickly, be sure to send it to Hu Ba's womb." ”

"No."

Coming out of Huanning Palace, An Su trotted all the way back to the palace maid's house, she directly opened the bedroom door, and saw Su Zili shrinking alone in the corner. The room was originally dark, Zili was taking a nap, and his eyes were shaken by the sudden light, and he woke up suddenly.

"Quick, follow me to the Zengcheng Palace."

Hearing the three words of Zengcheng Palace, Su Zili immediately sobered up, and couldn't care about anything else, took out a packet of medicinal powder from under the bed, and followed An Su out.

"Zili, although I helped you create this opportunity, have you really thought about it?" An Su knew that this was a big deal, so he had to confirm it again.

"No regrets." Su Zili is firm.

An Su remembered the roster of palace maids she saw at Mama Qin last time, which recorded that Su Zili had an elder brother named Su Yu, who had passed away, and he must be the one who was good friends with Hu Bazi.

The two walked silently, and their steps were much faster, and the Zengcheng Hall was soon displayed in front of them. Hu Bazi lives here alone, and there are a lot of palace maids and eunuchs waiting, which is much more lively than the queen. I heard that there was originally that Mrs. Qi also lived in this Zengcheng Palace, but after Hu Bazi became pregnant, she moved elsewhere according to the emperor's order, and I thought that Mrs. Qi was also wronged.

"This sister, we are the palace people of the palace maid's house, and we are ordered by Xu Ji Niangniang to send some gifts to Hu Bazi." An Su was worried that she would not appreciate it, so she added, "These are all made by Xu Ji Niangniang herself." ”

"Come in with me!" The palace made a gesture to bring them in directly.

"Don't you need to pass it on first?"

"Our mother doesn't stick to these subtleties, and besides, at this time, the mother is still asleep, and according to the usual view, it will take another quarter of an hour to wake up. The sun is so big outside, let you wait in the sun all the time, and our mother will not be able to go away. ”

Su Zili looked at her indifferently, and felt even more inconsistent in his heart that Hu Bazi was inconsistent. is clearly ruthless and sent someone to kill his former lover, and he can pretend to be considerate of the palace people in the palace as if nothing happened, which is really hateful.

Ansu and Zili were taken to the side hall of the Zengcheng Hall, and although it was a side hall, it looked more like a study. On either side are two neatly arranged rows of bookshelves, on which are placed heavy bamboo slips, mixed with some rare hemp paper.

The palace maid was very relieved of them, and after leaving the two of them in the side hall, she was going out to do her own work again, and let them wait here on their own. Zili looked around for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on the main table, on which were a pair of kettles and glasses.

She and Ansu glanced at each other, and then shook the packet of powder out of her cuffs. Ansu didn't know what was inside, but she did know that it was one of the colorless and odorless poisons.

Zili's palms pinching the powder were sweating, she was determined to avenge her brother, but now she had come to this point but was a little flustered, after all, she had never harmed anyone in her life, even if she was an enemy she identified.

On the table, in addition to the kettle and the cup, there was only half of the hemp paper written, and a small evening primrose was drawn in the corner of the hemp paper. Zili knew that evening primrose was his brother and Hu Bazi's favorite flower when they were outside the palace, and it was also their love thing. Since they have turned against each other and painted this flower, Zili looked at the carefully sketched flower, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, and the powder in his hand was not in a hurry to pour it into the water cup.

The font on the hemp paper is beautiful, and Zili recognizes this as Hu Bazi's font. For a long time in the past, she regarded Hu Bazi as her future sister-in-law, and she got along very closely. No, at that time, she was just Hu Xiaoshui, and she did not brand her eighth son after her surname.

Zili stared at the words on the hemp paper, all of which showed Hu Bazi's lovesickness. Since she was pregnant, although the emperor was afraid of the pressure of the queen mother, he would often come over to accompany her, and this lovesickness would naturally not be expressed to the emperor. Zili looked up at the pile of hemp paper on the bookcase, suddenly understood something, and took it all over and looked at it carefully.

The hand movements of the hemp paper are getting faster and faster, and the more Zili looks at it, the more he can't believe it, each of these pieces of paper is full of Hu Bazi's longing for Su Yu, and she can even feel the feelings and helplessness contained in the word "Su" in the pen. And with the time and content on these hemp papers, it seems that Hu Bazi still doesn't know that Su Yu is dead.

"Could it be that my brother wasn't killed by her?" Su Zili returned the hemp paper to its place, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind.

"Zili, what's wrong?" Ansu saw her slip the powder back into her cuffs, and knew that things had taken a turn for the better.

"Let's go!" Zili motioned for An Su to put down the gift in his hand, "Maybe I was reckless, the matter hasn't been completely figured out yet, if I start easily, maybe it will make a big mistake." ”

An Su looked at her expression, and understood most of it in her heart, put Xu Meiren's gift on the table, and went out to inform the previous palace maid, and the two walked out of the Zengcheng Palace.

"Can you say that now? What happened to Fang Cai? It wasn't until he had completely walked through the Zengcheng Hall that An Su asked again.

In normal times, Zili would definitely not talk about this matter to others, but the truth she had previously determined was suddenly broken, and the doubts in her heart kept coming out, and she also needed someone who could listen. And Ansu, as the person who planned this with her, will definitely not tell her secret, and she is a good candidate.

"Maybe I was wrong, my brother's death was after receiving a letter from the palace, and I took it for granted that Hu Bazi did it. In fact, I don't have any evidence to prove that it was reckless to poison her in such a hurry, not to mention that she was pregnant. Zili said that he was a little self-blaming.

"It's good that you stopped in time, otherwise as soon as Hu Bazi died, we would be able to find out immediately." An Su seemed to answer casually.

Zili suddenly smiled: "Although this method can see Hu Bazi, but the behavior is too conspicuous, and it is still in the name of Xu Meiren." Xu Meiren is good to you, and your Shangguan Ansu is not a person who will take revenge, and he will definitely not be involved with Xu Meiren if he seeks death. You've been prepared, right? ”

"What are you talking about?" An Su pretended to be stupid.

"You found out in advance that Hu Bazi had the habit of taking a nap at this time, and deliberately led me there at this time, just to let me poison first, and after you left, you can find a reason to go back and clean up the poison in the water cup. Hu Bazi didn't die afterwards, you just need to say that Hu Bazi may not necessarily drink the water in the water cup, and this matter can be completely resolved. Am I right? ”

An Su pursed her lips and smiled, she was considered to have met a strong opponent now, and the matter had come to this point, so she had to admit: "That's right, I plan to do so, but don't you also make two preparations?" ”

Of course, Su Zili's cuffs contained not only a package of poison, but also a dagger tied to his arm in advance. She really planned that if the poison failed, even if both were defeated, she would use a dagger and Hu Bazi to die together. After all, Zili lost her father and mother since she was a child, and it was her brother who brought her up, and her brother's hatred must be avenged.

"You also have a sharp dagger hidden in your cuff, if you can't poison it, you will directly use the dagger to kill someone." An Su said very calmly, "We are planning other things behind each other's backs, so it is better to cancel each other out and continue to cooperate." What do you think? ”

"Continued cooperation?" Zili looked at An Su, "I already understand that my brother shouldn't have been killed by Hu Bazi, so why do I need to continue to cooperate with you?" ”

"You're just guessing, you're not sure yet." An Su affirmed, "What's more, even if you are sure that your brother's death has nothing to do with Hu Bazi, don't you want to find out the truth?" Since he received a letter from the palace before he died, no matter how he said it, it has nothing to do with the palace. ”

"Shangguan Ansu, you are indeed powerful." Zili compromised again, "What else do you want me to do?" ”

An Su shook his head: "Nothing else, it's still the same thing I said last time, the apprenticeship roster of the Tai Hospital, I just want to know if there is my younger brother's name on it." ”

"Okay, let's continue to work together."

After An Su and Su Zili re-planned, they stopped intersecting for the time being. They are all smart women, and they naturally know that if they want to check some things in the palace, it is far from enough to have the identity of a little palace maid. Only by clinging to the master who has enough say can they get some of the things they need.

These days, An Su is busy paying attention to the Huanning Palace, and rarely has time to stay in the palace maid's house, and always runs to the Huanning Palace when he is free. When I finally had a break on this day, I heard Chu Ruo talking in his ear about the election of stewards.

"Sister Shangguan, don't you really want to participate in the election of the steward?" Chu Ruo glanced at Jiang Qingran, who was busy offering courtesy to everyone, and said in a low voice, "If Qingran is in charge, he will definitely change his way to toss us again." ”

If it had been placed in the past, Ansu really didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but there was no news of her younger brother for a few months, so she had to think of a way to climb up. At the very least, you need to be able to enter the music workshop, embroidery workshop, and too hospital and other places will not be stopped.

"Chu Ruo, you stay in the palace maid's house all day, have you heard Mama Qin talk about the details of the election of stewards?"

Chu Ruo wanted An Su to be interested in this matter, but he was overjoyed to hear her ask, and told her everything he had heard.

"This election steward is to let all the candidates show their own skills, cooking skills, dance skills, musical instruments, anything, and compare with each other, by Mama Qin, Mr. Ni, and two old grandmothers and eunuchs in the palace to judge. They will first elect a few people, and then everyone will vote to determine who will win. Chu Ruo thought about it and clapped his hands again, "By the way, there is another point, if there is a master who designates who will be in charge, then there is no need to choose." ”

"Yes, the complicated layers of selection, after all, can't compare to a word from the masters." Ansu sighed. Although the palace has always been like this, there is still some bitterness in my heart.

Chu Ruo disagreed: "Of course, the designation of the masters is more important, but it has only been a short time since entering the palace, and the one who can be favored by the masters should also be the best among us!" Masters don't like to be clumsy! ”

An Su smiled: "What you said is also right. ”
