And at the same time, outside the Bird Palace.

A woman dressed as a pink palace maid lowered her head and walked quickly towards the side door of the Birdway Palace, when she came to the door, she suddenly stopped as if she was weak and nervous, and after looking left and right to make sure that no one else was following, she stretched out her delicate little hand and knocked lightly on the side door a few times.

When the side door was knocked, and within a moment, the small side door was opened from the inside, and the woman saw clearly the person who opened the door, as if she was very surprised, and just wanted to salute, but was stopped by the person in the door, and then she was taken into the palace.

And this scene happened very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the side door closed again, and it made people feel like the scene they had just seen was hallucinating.

Ju Xin cautiously followed Meng'e all the way through the front hall of the corridor, and finally came to Zhou Yanran, who was closing her eyes and squinting in the side hall at this moment.

For Zhou Yanran, Juxin has always been in awe; Because she knew that the concubine in front of her, who was rushing to the harem, was by no means as easy to fool as Li Fuqing, so whenever she faced Zhou Yanran, she would show 120,000 points of alertness and agility.

And it turns out that as long as there is a pay, there will be a return, when she showed her intelligence in front of Zhou Yanran, she was really valued by Zhou Yanran, and since then she has become a hidden stake placed next to Li Fuqing.

Of course, Juxin knows how much of a sin it is for a slave to betray her master, but since ancient times, people have been people who go to high places and water flow to low places, she has long seen that Li Fuqing is stupid, and her future is very worrying with such a master.

Therefore, when Zhou Yanran threw an olive branch to her, she caught it without hesitation.

She did this not for anything else, just to earn a bright future for herself.

Now, Li Fuqing was defeated in the battle with the Qingzhou girl, and was sent to the prison by King Ling, and I heard that she was also involved in a big case, although she was alive, it was no different from dead, and she was equivalent to completing the task assigned to her by Zhou Yanran in disguise.

Therefore, she entered the palace today to fulfill the promise Zhou Yanran made to her that day.

After Meng'e brought Ju Xin to Zhou Yanran, she stood behind Zhou Yanran, bowed down and said something in her master's ear with a soft voice, and kept closing her eyes and squinting Zhou Yanran opened her curly eyelashes, revealing her beautiful eyes.

Ju Xin was afraid of Zhou Yanran from the bottom of her heart, so when she saw her open her eyes and look over, she immediately made a humble and submissive appearance, and bowed to Zhou Yanran: "The slave maid asks for peace to the concubine Niangniang, the maid is a thousand years old." ”

Zhou Yanran's temperament has changed a lot recently because of Chu Xingyue, and many times she is on the verge of irritability and anxiety, even at this moment, she looks cold and cold, but in fact, deep down in her heart, she is still turbulent and gloomy.

Therefore, when facing Juxin, she naturally didn't have any patience, so she said directly: "Didn't Bengong tell you that you are not allowed to enter the palace to find Bengong without the permission of Bengong?" How? Now even you dare to ignore the words of this palace and not take this palace seriously? ”

Ju Xin entered the palace today to get back her remuneration and make a windfall, but she didn't expect that before she could say these words, she was frightened by Zhou Yanran, who suddenly spoke.

She was good at observing words and feelings, and she immediately realized that Zhou Guifei seemed to be in a bad mood today, and the timing of her coming was indeed a little wrong.

Juxin was secretly annoyed by her bad luck, and on the other hand, she was careful, and said: "Niangniang is angry, the slave maid does not dare to underestimate the meaning of the mother, the mother should know that the slave and the maid obey the words of the mother the most, and never dare to do anything that bores the mother." ”

Listening to Juxin's answer, the anger that occasionally flashed in Zhou Yanran's eyes was still thick and not dispersed.

For people like her, naturally she has already seen a lot of people like Ju Xin, for such a subordinate, sometimes she needs it, and sometimes she is extremely bored, just like now, as long as she sees Ju Xin, she will think of Li Fuqing's idiot, and by the way, she will also think of Chu Xingyue.

Ju Xin saw that Zhou Yanran's face still did not improve after she said such words, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more widespread.

A sane voice in her head told her that the situation was not suitable for her to explain her intentions, and it seemed that she needed to find another opportunity to enter the palace again.

However, at the same time as this thought came to her, another voice flew in from the other ear and told her that the Imperial Palace Ouchi could not be mixed in at any time, and if she did not explain her intention today, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have a chance next time.

Ju Xin felt that she was about to be torn in half by these two voices, and she froze in place for a while, not knowing what to continue to say.

Or Zhou Yanran couldn't help the restlessness in her heart, and spoke up again impatiently: "What are you coming to this palace for?" ”

Ju Xin immediately raised her head, as if she had seized the last opportunity in her life to turn over, with greed in her eyes, and deliberately had the courage to speak to Zhou Yanran: "I don't know if Niangniang still remembers the agreement between you and the slave?" ”

Zhou Yanran gently rubbed her faintly aching temples with her fingers, and motioned for Ju Xin to continue.

Ju Xin said: "Niangniang asked Miss Meng'e to find the slave and tell the slave that as long as the slave can keep an eye on the young lady's every move, and successfully lead the young lady to fight with the Qingzhou girl again, after the matter is completed, she will give the slave and the maid a sum of money, so that the slave and the maid can live the life they want, I don't know if the maid remembers?" ”

Zhou Yanran looked at the greedy gaze flashing in Ju Xin's eyes, as if she had seen the most disgusting and dirty thing in the world, and her face showed a touch of sarcasm: "About this matter, this palace naturally remembers it." ”

Ju Xin smiled happily, and even the speed of speech became much faster, and continued: "Now, the young lady has lost the battle with the Qingzhou girl, and has been sent to the heavenly prison by King Ling, and the slave maid can be regarded as having completed the task that you gave to the slave maid; I don't know when your promise to the slave will be fulfilled? ”

The sarcasm on Zhou Yanran's face became stronger and stronger, and she looked at Ju Xin who was kneeling on the ground: "It turns out that you entered the palace to ask for silver from the palace?" ”

Ju Xin was said to be the right purpose, and immediately lowered her head with a flushed face, but even if she was exposed in public, she was still able to meet a few words: "Niangniang is a magnanimous master, and the slave believes that Niangniang will not treat the slave and the maid lightly." ”

"Yes, this palace will naturally not treat those who are loyal to this palace."

Zhou Yanran said, in front of Ju Xin, she married a pair of pigeon blood stone earrings worn on her ears, and slowly sent them to Ju Xin, saying: "You have served by Li Fuqing's side all the year round, and you must have a lot of knowledge, you come to see, this pair of earrings in this palace is valuable?" ”

Ju Xin looked at the pigeon blood stone earrings lying quietly in Zhou Yanran's hand, and looked straight at the spot; You know, jewelry made of pigeon's bloodstone is not uncommon, but what is truly rare is jewelry made of the finest pigeonstone.

The earrings that Zhou Yanran put in her hand at the moment are made of a pair of superb pigeonstones; Such a pair of earrings, even if they have been worn, can be used as a thousand gold in a pawnshop.

Thinking of the meaning of Zhou Yanran's move, Ju Xin subconsciously regarded this pair of earrings as a reward for her, and immediately showed excitement, and thanked Zhou Yanran repeatedly.

"Slave and maid thank Niangniang for the reward."

Zhou Yanran looked at Ju Xin, whose happy circles began to turn red, mockingly, and the sneer in her heart couldn't stop overflowing from the corners of her mouth: "Xie Bengong? Thanks for what? When did Hongu say that he was going to give you these earrings? ”

Ju Xin was stunned, and felt that his whole heart was like being thrown high and kicked down from a high place.

The uncontrollable body shook a few times on the spot, and only then did it come back to Zhou Yanran's sneer, and gradually realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Facing Ju Xin's sneering expression, Zhou Yanran firmly held the earrings in her hand in the palm of her hand, and then in front of Ju Xin, she took her hand back again, and said slowly: "If this palace is Li Fuqing, knowing that you will do such a thing one day, you will definitely cramp and peel your skin, bruise your bones and scatter ashes." ”

Ju Xin's eyes widened in shock, as if she couldn't believe that Zhou Yanran would say such a thing to her, you know, at this moment, she also regarded herself as a person from the Bird's Palace.

As if seeing Ju Xin's true thoughts, Zhou Yanran's disdainful sneer on her face continued unabated, and said: "Don't look at Bengong with a look of abandonment and hurt, Ju Xin, you are a very smart child, but your cleverness disgusts Bengong; Know what the last mistake a minion should ever make? It's not stupidity and ignorance, it's not lazy, it's a betrayal of the old master, and the side of this palace never raises dogs that eat inside and out, and you, from the beginning, were not from this palace. ”

Ju Xin deserved to be a smart person, and immediately understood what she wanted to express from Zhou Yanran's words, "What does Niangniang mean that the slave maid was deceived by Niangniang?" ”

"What deception?"

Zhou Yanran seemed to be playing with Juxin, and the cynicism in her eyes was extremely obvious.

"We, the vows, took the bait, and this palace admits that it was indeed you who were sent by this palace to take the initiative to contact you, but this does not mean that they have regarded you as their own since then, and this palace has not forced you to do what you are not willing to do; In order to achieve your goal of selling the lord and seeking glory, you took the initiative to hand over Li Fuqing's clues to the hands of the palace again and again, and naively thought that you could rely on these things to knock a large sum of money from the palace. ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Yanran was like watching a self-directed and self-acted clown drama, looking at Ju Xin who was stunned in place with pity.

"The reason why this palace has kept you to this day is also because of your hard work in delivering these news; Therefore, Juxin, when the palace is still willing to talk to you, you have to accept it when you see it, instead of taking the initiative to run in front of the palace and hinder the palace again. ”
