This kind of evil slave bullying is not uncommon in the harem. Tan Zhiting's new maid Bai Hua is also cold. It's just that Bai Hua did not disrespect Tan Zhiting in words and actions, but hid that disdain deep in his eyes.

Bai Hua was originally the daughter of an official family, but unfortunately his father was implicated in the robbery in the south and was convicted, and he was also imprisoned as a slave. But Bai Hua still maintains a detached and proud demeanor in his bones, and he has seen through the ugly faces of the girls who are cold in the world and the ugly faces of the women who compete for favor in the harem. She didn't understand why the people in the harem were so suspicious and ruthless as the emperor flocked to him? Bai Hua feels ridiculous every time he sees Tan Zhiting trying to pretend to be himself in order to see the emperor. Serving people with sex like Tan Zhiting is not a long-term solution after all, not to mention that Tan Zhiting's "color" is not outstanding, and in the long run, it is tantamount to self-defeating.

Bai Hua saw the women's open and secret fights in his eyes, and over time he also summed up a rule - if you want to gain a firm foothold in the harem and survive for a long time, you should form an alliance with those who have interests. However, after Wen Zhiqiong's death, Tan Zhiting seemed to be locked up and had been living alone, and her popularity became worse and worse. Bai Huaming knew that this was not beneficial to Tan Zhiting, but she never deliberately reminded her, she was like an indifferent bystander, watching others fend for themselves, and at the same time killing the unbearable time of her life.

After entering the wax moon, on the one hand, we have to prepare for the princess wedding at the end of the month, and on the other hand, we have to prepare for the New Year, and the whole harem has become busy again. Especially this year is the first time that several foreign concubines have celebrated the New Year in Dahan, so the emperor specially ordered that this year's New Year must be solemn and warm.

The Internal Affairs Office and the Shanggong Bureau were reluctant to prepare day and night, and the guards of the forbidden army were also searching the secret stronghold of Dongying Xizuo day and night. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and this stronghold was finally seized by Li Jian, the minister of the guard! The Praetorian Guard came that night to attack its unpreparedness by surprise and instantly took down all the fine workers of Dongying. Only in the process of fighting with one of the skilled swordsmen was the slight loss of strength, and this person seemed to be the guard named Onizuka Kyo next to Prince Toei.

The good news came into the Zhaoyang Palace, and Duan Yulin just picked up the green head card of Jinghua in his hand. After hearing the news, he was very pleased, and immediately put down Jinghua's brand and replaced it with Tsubaki's brand.

"Tell Concubine Tsubaki to prepare." Duan Yulin sent the people in the respectful room to deliver the edict, and the guard who delivered the message in the corner on the other side came in and asked: "Li Aiqing has arranged all the details for the capture?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, in order to avoid startling the snake, Lord Li has temporarily sent the fine work to a secret village for detention in accordance with Your Majesty's wishes, and has not alarmed the Criminal Department; There are also several interpreters stationed at Hosaku's base, so that they can contact Hosaku in the palace at any time to prevent them from becoming suspicious. The guard replied.

"Good. Go back and tell Li Jian, quietly send some more people, and be sure to take care of the people! Especially the onitsuka they led, I still have him useful. Duan Yulin repeatedly instructed not to make mistakes.

"Obey! The minister retired. The guards reported the situation and left.

"Fang Da, I went to pick up Concubine Chun and came to Zhaoyang Hall to sleep. By the way, I sent someone to inform the white palm dance, you can do it......" Duan Yulin smiled gloomily, and the show was about to start.

For a few days in a row, Duan Yulin was the lucky concubine Tsubaki, and even Tsubaki himself was flattered, and the palace people who took Mengxin Xiaozhu and the two Dongying Kabuki in the Man Dance Division finally raised their eyebrows.

Recently, the people of the Man Dance Division and the Gong Music Bureau have often rehearsed the New Year's performances together, and everyone rehearsed separately as usual on this day. Tsuko and Sayako also practiced their collaborative singing and dancing seriously, and during the break, the two hid in the corner and talked secretly.

"You sent the news out? Have you heard a reply? Tsuko asked Sayako.

"Well, I received a reply yesterday and everything is fine." Sayako didn't know that they had been exposed, let alone that their stronghold had been cleared a few days ago, and that all she had replied to was a fake letter from a translator imitating Onizuka's handwriting.

"You need to be careful." Tsuko has always been cautious.

"Yes, don't worry." Shayazi didn't care much, but she didn't know that the disaster of death was waiting for them not far away.

"Sayako and Jinzi, come here, there is an errand for you." Bai Youhan called the two over to convey the holy will: "You also know that Concubine Chun has been quite favored recently, and the emperor feels sorry for Concubine Chun and knows that Concubine Chun misses her homeland, so he wants the imperial dining room to make some food from your hometown to comfort Concubine Chun." But you also know that we don't know how you cook food, so we have to trouble you to go out yourself. The cold palm meal in the imperial dining room is already waiting outside to pick you up. Bai Youhan even made a gesture of invitation to his subordinates.

"White palm dance, Sha Yezi doesn't know anything about cooking, I'll just go by myself." Tsuko took over the errand that Sayako was best at.

"It's fine. The emperor is still turning the brand of the concubine tonight, and it just so happens that the emperor and the concubine also want to listen to the little song of your hometown, and Sha Yezi will go to the Zhaoyang Palace to serve in a while. Bai Youhan told her that there would be a close eunuch from the emperor's side to pick her up later. So Sayako and Tsuko went to prepare carefully, and Bai Youhan, who had finished conveying the order, showed a rare expression of disdain on his face the moment he turned around.

An hour before dinner, Tsuko and Sayako were invited to the Zhaoyang Hall one after another, and after Tsuko put down the prepared sushi, seafood sashimi and other Dongying dishes, she gave Sayako a cautious look and stepped back. Tsuko, who returned to the Man Dance Division, always felt unsure, and Tsubaki's sudden favor summoned her to cook Toei cuisine for Tsubaki...... All of this seems counterintuitive. Therefore, she was very careful in the process of cooking, and did not let the people in the imperial dining room interfere at all, and she did it herself from beginning to end under the cold eyes of Zou Sishan and Leng Zhangshan, and she didn't even fake people all the way to Zhaoyang Palace. Tsuko comforted herself that it didn't matter, she was already cautious and there would be no mistakes.

As the saying goes, there is a mountain and a mountain high, no matter how careful you are, you can't compete with the emperor's old scheming.

Duan Yulin, who had nothing to do, sat at the table early and waited for the meal to start, but it was still some time away from the original time. He couldn't wait, he wanted to taste it first, so he asked the eunuch to test the poison, and Sha Yazi also came in early to wait. The little eunuch who tested the poison was obviously not used to eating raw and cold food, and when he tried to eat raw fish, he couldn't swallow it for a long time, and finally swallowed it, but his disgusting expression made the emperor very unhappy.

"You, come and try it for me!" Duan Yulin ordered Sha Yezi to try the dishes, and impatiently waved the little eunuch out. Shayazi didn't dare to resist the order, and tried the meals one by one, and there was nothing unusual. Duan Yulin didn't move his chopsticks, but lifted the lid of the wine jug, sniffed lightly, and touched the cup full of green plum wine, and said, "You haven't tried this yet." ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave and maid will sing for Your Majesty and Concubine Chun for a while, wine is a thing that hurts the throat, the slave and maid really dare not touch it, or ask the father-in-law to try the bar for the emperor." Shayazi knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"That's it, anyway, I've tested it with a silver needle before, so I guess it'll be fine." After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and then said to Sha Yazi: "Calm down." Sing me a cheerful song first. ”

Sha Yazi hurriedly got up and opened her mouth and sang a brisk Dongying folk song. Duan Yulin squinted his eyes and listened very enjoyably, and his eyes gradually became hot when he looked at Sha Yezi. Duan Yulin only felt slightly dizzy, and said to himself: "Is this the so-called 'shallow wine is not intoxicating, deep in the music song'?" Why do I feel dizzy? Duan Yulin held his forehead and looked very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Or...... The slave helped you to lie down on the couch next to you? Sayako cautiously asked, wondering if she needed to call in a doctor.

"It's fine. You're here to help me. Duan Yulin beckoned to Sha Yazi, who immediately took the emperor's hand and slowly moved to the couch with him.

Duan Yulin leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest, Sha Yezi worried: "Your Majesty, do you want the slave maid to invite the imperial doctor to come for you?" ”

"No need, Concubine Tsubaki will be here in a while, I don't want to trouble. You can rub it for me. Sayako obeyed as instructed to go around to the emperor and gently press his temples, and she felt the emperor's skin as hot as fire. After rubbing it for a while, Duan Yulin's hand covered her hand, Sha Yazi was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw but was held tightly by Duan Yulin, he closed his eyes and said, "What? Don't want to serve me? ”

"Slaves don't dare! Slaves...... Willing. Shayazi swallowed, her heart beating like a drum. Duan Yulin dragged her into his arms with a little force, and was about to kiss but was rejected by Sha Yezi, who was still sensible: "Your Majesty, don't do this...... Concubine Tsubaki is about to arrive. How bad is it for her to see it? After speaking, he shyly buried his head in the emperor's chest.

Duan Yulin also knew that she also had the idea of turning a sparrow into a phoenix, and sure enough, the thieves in Dongying were all lacking in people's hearts and swallowing elephants! He sneered in his heart, but coaxed in his mouth: "What are you afraid of? Do I want a woman to look at other people's faces? Besides, you and she are both Dongying people, and you also have a companion to serve me together. Hearing him say this, Shayazi no longer refused, and soon kissed the emperor passionately.

This is what the dazed and ignorant Concubine Tsubaki saw when she entered the side hall - the emperor was lying on his back on the couch and was pressed under the disheveled Shayazi, and the two were flirting passionately!

"You ...... You ......" Tsubaki was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

Shayazi, whose adultery was broken, quickly pulled on her clothes and got off the emperor's body, and knelt silently on the edge of the couch. She thought that the emperor was in charge, and she didn't have to ask Concubine Chun for guilt.

"You, dare to seduce the emperor and mess with the harem?" In a hurry, she simply questioned Sha Yazi in Dongying dialect. Tsubaki has been favored recently, how can she allow others to dig her at the foot of the wall? What's more, it's their "own people"? This is a great shame for her.

"Concubine Chun, please say anything, the emperor likes slaves and maids, and wants slaves and maids to serve, but slaves and maids dare not refuse." Shayazi also replied in her native language, and as she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor.

"Do you mean that the emperor took the initiative? How bold you are! Tsubaki was so angry that she couldn't do it, but Shayako didn't think much and motioned that she could ask the emperor in person.
