A faint scent of sandalwood enveloped the room, and the sparse sunlight shone through the window and sprinkled on the intricate and gorgeous red brocade quilt, leaving speckled shadows.

Xie Fuyao woke up from the pain, gently closed his eyes, and looked at the curtain in front of him.

"Master. Ziyun put the wound medicine on the table and hurriedly walked over, "Master, are you better?"

"I'm fine. Xie Fuyao shook his head lightly and pulled out his numb left hand.

Last night, Ziyun was afraid that Xie Fuyao would press the wound, so he asked her to lie on the bed in a side-lying position, so she slept all night, so Xie Fuyao's arm was uncomfortable.

"It was too late last night, Cui Chen was out of the palace, and now he should be in the palace, I will ask him to take your pulse and prescribe some medicine by the way. Ziyun helped Xie Fu shake his hands and said softly.

"No, it's just a few sticks, I'm not that squeamish. ”

It is already a shame to be scolded by the rod as a concubine, and everyone who Xie Fuyao doesn't want to make this matter known to everyone.

"However, we only have some external wound medicine in our palace, and Cui Chen needs to prescribe some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so that your injury can heal faster. "Ziyun is embarrassed.

"Okay, slow down, slow down, anyway, I was grounded by the Queen Mother, and I can only stay in the palace for a month. ”

Xie Fuyao was a little tired, she wanted to change her position, but the slightest movement was the pain in her heart, which seemed to be more unbearable than yesterday.

"Master, don't move. Ziyun blurted out nervously, secretly scolding the Queen Mother in her heart.

Xie Fuyao finally gave up this plan, and she glanced around the room for a week and there was no trace of Ziyu.

"Ziyu, why isn't she here. Xie Fuyao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ziyu, she cooks things in the kitchenette, you don't have to worry. Ziyun didn't understand what Xie Fuyao's sudden fear was for.

"What about Xiao Luzi, where are the others?" Xie Fuyao felt a little apprehensive in his heart, as if he had missed something important.

Ziyun didn't know about yesterday's incident in Renshou Palace, so she went to the kitchen to replace Ziyu.

"It's all bad to blame the slaves. Yesterday I patronized the master, and I didn't notice Xiao Luzi's movements. Ziyu said guiltily.

"Hasn't he ever returned to Mingcui Palace?" Xie Fuyao's palms were full of sticky cold sweat, Xiao Luzi offended Hua Ran, and now it is very likely that something has happened.

Ziyu shook her head, "I haven't seen him since yesterday. ”

"You go to the vicinity of Renshou Palace to inquire and see if anyone has seen Xiao Luzi, and then go to Yuan Guifei to have a look, maybe Xiao Luzi will be taken to Changxu Palace. ”

Ziyu just wanted to leave, but Xie Fuyao hurriedly stopped her as if he remembered something, "No, let Xiao Shunzi go, he is more faceless, and others will not be guarded." ”

"Good. Ziyu was stunned for a moment and quickly ran out.

Xie Fuyao's arrangement naturally has his reasons, now that Xiao Shunzi's identity is unknown, and he is unable to move, if he takes advantage of the maneuver, it will be difficult for people to find out.

Although he has already let Ziyun stare at him, but now there are only these few people in the entire Mingcui Palace, and Ziyun has to do many things himself, and I am afraid that there is not so much effort.

It wasn't until the evening that Xiao Shunzi rushed back from outside.

"Master, the slave sent someone to inquire, Gonggong Lu was indeed taken away by Yuan Guifei's people, but the people in the Changxu Palace were silent about this matter, the slave tried to inquire, but nothing was inquired, the slave was incompetent, please forgive the master. ”

"Get up, you've done a good job. Xie Fuyao was a little anxious, now that the queen has a big belly, if she bothers her because of this matter, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Yuan were in cahoots, and the other concubines didn't have the ability to compete with her, and now they didn't even have anyone to ask for help.

Thinking about it carefully, now only Concubine He can talk, but she may not be able to help herself.

Xie Fuyao suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness, it turned out that without Wei Jingyao, he couldn't survive in this palace at all, and he couldn't even protect the people around him.

Inshou Palace.

Zhu'er didn't think of a good explanation, so she didn't go to Renshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother until the evening.

"Queen Mother, Zhu'er is a little uncomfortable today, so she came late, and I ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness. Zhu'er put on a well-behaved appearance.

"Oh, are you uncomfortable, or are you afraid that the mourning family will punish you. The Queen Mother glanced at Zhu'er and pulled the corners of her mouth lightly.

"Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the Queen Mother, and the concubine knows her mistake and asks the Queen Mother to punish her. Zhu'er knelt on the ground, pitiful.

"Punishment? Where do the mourning family dare to punish you, now you are very capable, and you have calculated your mind on the mourning family. ”

The Queen Mother slammed the table, shaking the teacup.

"Queen Mother, Zhu'er really knows that she is wrong, it is Zhu'er who is blinded by jealousy, so she wants to take revenge on Concubine Ying again and again. ”

When Zhu'er heard this, she knew that the Queen Mother was really angry, she couldn't care about anything, she just kowtowed again and again.

"Zhu'er is just jealous of her, jealous that she can get the emperor's favor, and I can't even see the emperor's face, Zhu'er doesn't dare, Zhu'er doesn't dare anymore, beg the queen mother for forgiveness......"

Zhu'er knew that she was able to gain a foothold in the palace because of the Queen Mother's care for herself, and if the Queen Mother gave up on herself, she would have nothing.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhu'er's sad appearance, and she couldn't bear it, after all, she was a child who saw her since she was a child, even if she took advantage of herself, she couldn't be ruthless.

"Okay, don't cry, this time the mourning family should not know anything, if there is a next time, I will never spare it, have you heard it? The Queen Mother pretended to be stern.

Zhu'er raised her crying little face and looked at the Queen Mother, "Thank you Queen Mother, Zhu'er will definitely serve the Queen Mother well in the future, and she will no longer be angry with Concubine Ying." ”

"You unenlightened girl, what are you doing to serve the mourning family. ”

Looking at the current Zhu'er, the Queen Mother not only remembered what she looked like when she was a child.

I don't have a daughter, and I have always raised Zhu'er as my own child, and I feel uncomfortable when I see her sad.

"There is the kung fu and Xie Fu to shake the anger, it is better to spend this time on the emperor, the road in the future still has to be walked by yourself, and you can't rely on the mourning family for everything. ”

"Queen Mother, if the concubines can get the emperor's favor, they don't have to be like this. Zhu'er's eyes fluttered, and she said sadly.

"If you and Yao'er have a child, everything will be fine, you prepare well, during this time, the emperor will go to you. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the exquisite chess game in front of her and beckoned to Zhu'er, "Come, come and talk about a game with the mourning family." ”
