Chapter 28: Regaining Grace

I saw that the masked man in black was like a petal, gently landing on the ground a few steps away from Jiang Li, and the murmuring insects were silent.

Jiang Li quickly looked up at the sky, the tall banyan tree branches were luxuriant, like a giant umbrella standing like a sky that could not be seen at all, only when the wind rose, only occasionally sprinkled the moonlight on the ground, forming a mottled shadow.

The man in black was perched on the thick branch just now, except for the leaves trembling slightly by the breeze, he couldn't see the slightest swaying of the branch, and the person under the tree who was less than a foot away didn't notice it, which showed that this person's light skills were unfathomable.

"What is the Lord's command for this meeting?"

Jiang Li's eyes moved from the tree to the face of the man in black, and the face covered by the veil only revealed a pair of deep eyes.

"The Lord asked me to remind Concubine Li not to forget your duty."

The man in black deliberately lowered his voice as he had seen in the past.

"How did Hongu forget his duty?"

Jiang Li was a little annoyed when she heard this, and her face sank.

"Don't forget, your every move, the lord is under control, recently you deliberately approached Concubine Yang, what is the purpose, how can you hide it from the lord?"

The man in black saw that Jiang Li was a little angry, and deliberately reminded her.

"Whoever let her kill the child in my womb, this revenge will be avenged!"

Jiang Li's heart aches at the thought of the innocently lost child.

"Don't be rash, revenge and mission, which is more important, you have to weigh it clearly."

The man in black raised his eyes and glanced around, retracted his gaze, stared at Jiang Li sharply, his tone was very heavy, and his voice seemed to come out of his chest.

"Since the child is gone, King Chu Wen has been going to you less and less, and the lord is extremely dissatisfied, if you continue like this, when will you be able to complete your mission? Weigh it yourself. ”

As soon as the words fell, she heard footsteps coming from far and near, Jiang Li knew that it must be Chun Tao and Xia He, and hurriedly glanced at the man in black.

The man in black shook his fist at Jiang Li, turned around and "swished" into the air, and landed steadily on the branch like a bird, and then kicked his feet, jumped to the tree farther away, and then disappeared into the night sky.

The night sky was quiet, the moonlight was like water, the shadows of the flowers were waving, the insects couldn't help but start singing, and everything returned to its original appearance.

Jiang Li sat quietly on the swing frame, lightly tapped the ground with one foot, and the swing shook slightly.

"Let the mother wait for a long time, the slaves are here!"

Chun Tao walked in front with a large handful of lotus seeds, and Xia He followed closely with a lotus canopy with a pole.

"Come when you're full!" Jiang Li chuckled.

"Niangniang hasn't tasted it yet, how can there be a reason for slaves and maids to eat first?"

Chun Tao hurriedly denied it, Xia He walked up to Jiang Li with a quiet face, put the lotus canopy on the swing frame, and started to peel lotus seeds for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li smiled and ate the lotus seeds and said, "Well, it's really sweet, just peel it yourself, so much, you can eat it too!" As he spoke, he picked up a lotus pod and peeled it off.

"Thank you, Niang!"

At this time, Jiang Li's mind was quickly checking, what is the identity of this man in black? Even King Chu Wen has not been to his palace recently, and they are clear about the purpose of getting close to Concubine Yang, and they are still very aware of their actions, indicating that there are people arranged by the Lord around them.

Is it possible that it is Spring Peach and Summer Lotus? Their actions are also questionable, otherwise why did they happen to go to pick lotus seeds tonight, to create an opportunity for themselves to meet the man in black?

But it's not like it, is it a coincidence? Anyway, everything has to be according to the instructions of the Lord, Jiang Li frowned slightly, and picked out the lotus pod that was in good condition and put it aside.

"Chun Tao, take these back and put them away, and send a message to the king, saying that the palace invited him to taste the freshness of this lotus seed, and went back."

"No!"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she stood up from the swing, Chun Tao held her arm, Xia He hugged the lotus canopy, and the master and servant returned to the palace.

After going back, Jiang Li stuffed her father-in-law with some seal gold and asked him to help pass the message to King Chu Wen. The father-in-law is also willing to run this leg, after all, he is by the king's side, and he can naturally see that the king still has her in his heart.

As soon as her father-in-law left, Jiang Li went to bathe and change her clothes, carefully groomed and dressed up, she wanted to redeem King Chu Wen's favor for her.

When King Chu Wen heard that Jiang Li took the initiative to invite him over to eat lotus seeds, he remembered that she had always been cold to herself since she lost her child, and she actually took the initiative today, presumably she had figured it out.

It stands to reason that as a mother, the loss of her child is the biggest pain in her heart, at this time, not only did she not comfort her, but also blamed her, it was a little ruthless, King Chu Wen realized that he was excessive, so he gladly accepted Jiang Li's invitation and went to Concubine Li.

Jiang Li changed her previous indifference, behaved extremely gentle in front of King Chu Wen, and launched a fierce love offensive against him, plus she was originally the most pleasing person in the harem, and soon recaptured King Chu Wen's heart.

King Chu Wen was fascinated by her, couldn't stop, seemed to have returned to his youth, and after enjoying the joy, Jiang Li actually cried profusely, looking very sad.

"Aifei, what's wrong? Wasn't it okay just now? ”

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, King Chu Wen was extremely distressed and panicked for a while.

"The king, it's the concubines who are not good, and they don't protect our children well."

"It's all over, don't be sad and sad, you are still so young, I believe you will be able to conceive again soon, and then give birth to a group of children."

When King Chu Wen heard that Jiang Li was sad about the child, he remembered that he had never comforted her about this matter, and he blamed himself very much, so he hugged her tightly in his arms and patted her back.

"King, it's not this that the concubine is sad, but someone framed the concubine, even if the concubine gets pregnant again, it will be difficult to escape the same fate."

Jiang Li pushed away King Chu Wen's arm, and the pear blossom cried to him with rain.

"What? Who is so bold as to dare to murder the concubine who is not hub, and kill the child who is not hub, and the hub will never be spared! ”

When King Chu Wen heard this, he was shocked, and he immediately became angry, so frightened that his father-in-law Zhang Gao, who was in the outhouse, hurriedly ran in, and saw one crying and crying, and the other was tearing, what is the situation? Before this, didn't the two of them still look like they were reunited after a long absence, and they suddenly got into trouble again?

Father-in-law Zhang Gaozheng didn't know what to do, but he saw King Chu Wen hugging Jiang Li into his arms, without raising his eyes, he waved his hand towards Zhang Gao, and Zhang Gao retreated with interest.

"Aifei, listen to what you mean, do you know who harmed you, but I want to hear who is so bold?"

"When the concubine went home to visit relatives, he met a big wizard, he saw that someone in the harem gave the concubine a bow, the purpose is not only to harm the child, the master said that fortunately found it in time, he helped me in addition to this head, otherwise the concubine's life is difficult to protect."

Jiang Li looked aggrieved and frightened, as if someone in this room was watching her every move at any time.

When King Chu Wen heard this, his brows furrowed as if two struggling earthworms were crawling on it.

"How can this be reasonable, who is so bold as to dare to make waves in the palace, and when it is found out, he will definitely skin him."

The corners of King Chu Wen's mouth twitched involuntarily, and a pair of big hands stroked the aggrieved tears on Jiang Li's pretty face, and said softly: "Don't cry, concubine, if you don't want to be a concubine, you will be crowned a concubine, move to the Manna Palace, you will be the biggest in the future, and no one will dare to harm you again." ”

"Concubines, thank you for the king's grace!"

Jiang Li burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly thanked her.

It seems to be plain on the surface, but the heart is also excited. Although it is said that it is the concubine and not the queen, but so far, the concubine is already the highest position in the harem, as long as she is in charge of the harem, she can rectify whoever she wants, are you afraid that you will not be able to take revenge?
