Regent's Palace.

It was time for dinner, the maid stood aside with the food, Mama Shi commanded on the side, Xiao Xin and Xiao Tang Bucai, suddenly "bang", the dish in Xiao Xin's hand was hit on the ground by Xiao Tang, and Mama Shi blamed.

"Xiaotang, what's the matter with you? Worried? ”

Duan Qingqian looked at Xiaotang's dull face and said softly.

"Mama Shi, it's okay, just ask someone to clean up. Xiaotang, are you unwell? ”

Xiaotang saw that he had made a mistake, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

"The princess forgives her sins, slave and maid...... The slave was indeed a little unwell. ”

Her mind is now full of the words of the afternoon man, do you want to be a master? She didn't have the heart to serve Duan Qingqian at all.

"If you don't feel well, go down to rest, Xiao Xin is here."

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Mama Shi felt weird, she was fine in the afternoon, why would her body be uncomfortable.

"Princess, this ......"

Mama Shi could see it, and Duan Qingqian could also see it, she interrupted Mama Shi's words.

"Mama, forget it, let her go."

"Yes, Princess."

After Mama Shi finished speaking, she respectfully retreated, and only Duan Qingqian and Xiao Xin who were waiting on the side were left in the room.

"Xiao Xin, sit down and eat together."

Xiao Xin was a little embarrassed.

"Princess?"

"Hurry up, the food won't taste good when it's cold later."

Xiao Xin grinned.

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Duan Qingqian chatted as if he had no intention.

"Xiao Xin, did you encounter anything new when you went out today?"

"Oh, the princess didn't ask, I forgot everything, and as soon as I came back, I went to the kitchen to watch the princess's dinner."

"What's new in that?"

Xiao Xin pursed his mouth and shook his head.

"People are talking about the princess's scores, and that's nothing new."

"Really? What do you say? ”

Xiao Xin looked at Duan Qingqian carefully and said.

"I said, will the princess be unhappy?"

"No, though."

"I still don't say it's okay, the relationship between the princess and the prince is just a little better now."

Duan Qingqian said helplessly.

"You girl! Are you the prince's handmaiden, or my handmaiden? ”

"Of course it's the princess's."

"Then hurry up."

"People outside say they were ...... back then Back then, the prince set fire to Bifengqin for the sake of Bifengqin...... Burned down Mr. Jane's house. ”

Duan Qingqian didn't laugh angrily, and Xiao Xin looked at Duan Qingqian in fear.

"Princess? Are you okay? ”

"It's okay, the prince has explained this to me. Is there anything else new besides this? ”

Xiao Xin thought for a while, and was about to blurt out, so he stopped it in time and said.

"No, really, that's all there is to it."

Duan Qingqian didn't ask, and said with a smile.

"Good. Dine. ”

"Yes, Princess."

Xiao Xin lied to Duan Qingqian, his heart was empty, and the meal was only a few bites.

At this time, Xiaotang, who was resting in the room, was still full of thoughts while lying on the bed, she thought seriously in the room, Duan Qingqian, a master like Duan Qingqian, followed her at all, and since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch.

The things she learned before how to assist the female protagonist to capture the male master's heart, how to teach the concubines and subordinates, and how to conspire with the female master, these are not used at all here by Duan Qingqian, she has worked very hard to win Duan Qingqian's trust, but she is still estranged from her.

No, she wants to fight, thinking that she used to be a young lady from a good family, but later her father gambled and lost all the family property, otherwise she would not have fallen into this.

Xiaotang's eyes are sharp and his heart is firm.

"I'm going to fight. A concubine can fly on the branch and become a phoenix, and I am not bad, I can't be reduced to slavery and servant. ”

Xiaotang thought that her father sold her and her mother in order to pay off gambling debts, and after a few years of hard labor, her mother was tired and died of illness, leaving her alone to try to live.

Xiaotang recalled the previous days, from a young lady to a maid, I don't know how many people ridiculed, I couldn't help but grieve, gritted his teeth.

"I'll make you regret it. All those who look down on me will be my help. ”

As soon as the next day dawned, someone sent food in from the back door, there were five or six back and forth, and some people got up early to clean up, ready to make breakfast, the sky was a little dark, people didn't see it very really, Xiaotang flashed out of the back door quickly, and hurriedly ran to the street.

Some officials like to buy some steamed buns and snacks on the street to eat, and they will go to court after an hour, at this time many shops begin to set up tables and chairs, make breakfast, and some shop owners have no one at home to help take care of the children, so they have to take the children with them.

Xiaotang beckoned to a child, and the child glanced back at his father and mother, seeing that they were busy, so he didn't bother, and stood up and ran to Xiaotang.

Xiaotang smiled softly.

"Kid, how old are you?"

The child raised his head and looked at Xiaotang and said in a childish voice.

"I'm 7 years old."

"Can you help me deliver a letter, my sister will give you candy."

"Where?"

"You walk along this street, and when you see the plaque in front of you, go to the left, and go to the largest teahouse on the front street, Tianzi No. 2 room."

"Is it Mingxiang Teahouse? My dad and I pass by there every day, and I recognize it. ”

"It's so smart, it's Mingxiang Teahouse. No, this candy for you. Come, let's pull the hook, you can't tell anyone else about this, and your father and mother can't say it. ”

"Well, I'm not going to say anybody."

The little boy happily took the candy and pulled the hook with Xiaotang.

"A manly man counts what he says, he must do what he says, and this letter must be delivered to my sister."

The little boy nodded cautiously.

"Well, my dad said he counts."

"Good. You wait for the dawn to come, it's still early. ”

"Okay, sister, don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it."

"Okay."

Xiaotang hurriedly ran back after explaining, and the food delivery was about to go out at this time, and no one noticed Xiaotang.

Xiaotang waited carefully all day, afraid that he would make a mistake, and at the same time looked forward to the coming of the night, whether the little boy succeeded in delivering the letter, tonight can be seen.

On the third watch, Xiaotang got up in disgrace and waited for someone to come at the place she agreed, she didn't consider whether the other party could enter the regent palace, she had already picked a place she thought was very remote, if the other party couldn't get in, it was also his inability, and she should reconsider whether the other party was worth her to do, but fortunately, the final result did not disappoint her.

Shen Rihui flew down one by one, and he didn't change his night clothes, but just wore a dark gray robe.

"Beauty, my son is here, but I've been waiting for a long time?"

Xiaotang didn't dare to joke with him in the mansion, for fear that the guards would find out, so he lowered his voice and said neatly.

"Say, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Rihui actually didn't dare to stay in the Regent's Mansion for a long time, since the other party was so simple, he also said neatly.

"Find a way to make the princess regent hate the regent, and it's best to make the princess regent hurt the regent."

Xiaotang was a little shocked in his heart, hurting the regent was a big deal, frowning, and didn't quite agree.

"This is not good for you, is there anything else?"

"Only this matter, the rumors outside will help fan the flames, you should mention it in front of the princess regent, even if you can't hurt the regent, you can also separate their relationship and cause some trouble to the regent."

"Okay, what do I get?"

"Gold and silver jewelry."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Shen Rihui took out the purse around his waist and handed it to Xiaotang.

"This is a soul incense, you can hang it on your body, this incense will paralyze people's consciousness after smelling it for a long time."

"You want me to paralyze the Regent?"

"Exactly, when paralyzing her, you can mention to her how her grandfather was buried in the fire back then, especially focusing on how the regent burned the Jian Mansion in order to please the previous Miss Liu, do you know, woman? I always like to be jealous. You are her personal maid, has she mentioned to you the events of the past two days? ”

As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Tang was angry, Duan Qingqian didn't mention it to her at all, she asked Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin said that he had mentioned it to her, Duan Qingqian obviously didn't trust her, since she was unkind, don't blame her for being unjust, who are people not for themselves?

"Of course there is, but she's a wreck, and she doesn't care about anything except fiddling with calligraphy and paintings and account books in the room."

When he complained later, Xiaotang just muttered softly, and Shen Rihui couldn't hear it clearly.

"It's good to mention it, you add more fire, this is the antidote, you just take one pill a day. Also, this is a deposit for you, and more so later. ”

Xiaotang stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and a few pieces of gold, looked at the purse in his hand, and asked.

"Can you do this?"

"Just try it. If you have something, you can beat this little drum, and I will come to you. ”

"Okay."

Xiaotang put the small drum down, she had heard that some people in the Nanban would manipulate the Gu worms, and the Gu worms would react when they beat the drum.

Everything was negotiated, Xiaotang smeared back, probably because she was nervous, and she was in a hurry, so she had to go to the thatched house.

On the other side, Xiao Wu, who knocked Duan Qingqian's bowl at the beginning, has come back, because of Duan Qingqian's help, his mother's illness has been cured, he is very grateful for Duan Qingqian's kindness, and he has done things carefully and carefully after coming back.

At this time, he was running to the thatched house because he drank more water during the day.

Xiao Wu was sleepy, his eyes were half-squinted, and suddenly something flashed his eyes, he immediately woke up, what was flashing his eyes just now, could it be the sword of an assassin?

Xiao Wu told himself in his heart, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the palace is heavily guarded, how can there be an assassin running here without anyone paying attention.

Xiao Wu squatted down, his eyes looked to the side to find the thing that flashed his eyes just now, and at this glance, he found that there was a person standing not far away, and the figure was a woman from a distance, and he slowly approached the figure with light steps.

The figure Xiao Wu saw was Xiao Tang, she just went to the thatched house, she was afraid that the silver ticket and gold would fall off the pit, so she took off her coat and wrapped it directly, and she was putting on her clothes when she came out at this time, she was already very careful not to let the light of the gold leak out, but there was a horn that still flashed into Xiao Wu's eyes.

The moonlight was too dark, Xiao Wu couldn't see who it was, so he could only follow Xiao Tang from a distance to see where she went back to sleep, Xiao Wu came to the Regent's Mansion earlier than Xiao Tang, he was familiar with the house, he followed around the road, Xiao Tang went back to the room and didn't find Xiao Wu's existence.
