Lu Qingjin knew that today's things couldn't be good, so he didn't care, he walked fast on his own, Xiao Ling finally caught up behind, and asked breathlessly: "Doesn't Niangniang explain and explain?" The slave maid looked at the other people in each palace just now, and their faces were not very good. ”

Lu Qingjin washed his hands on the edge of the well in the courtyard, and said in an indifferent voice: "What can I do, the emperor has already expressed his position, even if I have a bright tongue, I can't say that Zi Chouyin is so-and-so, it is better to come back and wait." ”

Xiao Ling was still very worried when she heard this: "What can I wait for when my mother comes back?" ”

Lu Qingjin looked at the empty doorway and smiled; "Of course, I'm waiting to see what these women can do."

Xiao Ling sighed helplessly and decided to be careful, the two of them entered the main hall in harmony, and before they could sit down, there was a notification outside: "Queen Qi, the mothers of each palace have come to say goodbye." ”

As soon as the words fell, a few concubines walked in, and Concubine Yun, who was the leader, smiled gently: "Why did Niangniang go so fast, my sisters were tired, and I couldn't find you when I turned around." ”

Lu Qingjin smiled and his tone was kind: "This palace is already very tired today, if the sisters are fine, go by themselves, I think it's time for breakfast." ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, her eyes showed unwillingness: "What are you talking about, a few of us also think that you are not interested in coming to accompany you, so don't let the sisters go." ”

Concubine Li has been drinking tea with her head down since she entered the main hall, and when she heard this, she glanced up and saw Lu Qingjin's face was not good, so she paused and said: "The emperor has an order, saying that Niangniang's body is important, I don't think we should affect Niangniang's rest here, after all, the coming day is long." ”

Concubine Yun looked at it and said knowingly; "I think we're too disturbed, let's visit again after a while, take care of your body."

Although Concubine Shu was unwilling, she also knew the severity, she snorted and left, Concubine Li followed everyone to the end, and when everyone else went out, she turned around and whispered; "Maybe you don't need to, but I still want to remind you, be careful lately."

Lu Qingjin was a little surprised, but he still nodded respectfully, Concubine Li sighed and left quietly, Xiao Ling said worriedly while gently massaging Lu Qingjin's head; "What does this mean, could it be that Concubine Cheng Li is still on our side?"

Lu Qingjin was drowsy from being massaged, and smiled when he heard the words, and whispered; "Some people have let go, but they are forced to be helpless, there are many things in this world that are far more important than a peaceful life."

Xiao Ling didn't understand much, but he knew that Lu Qingjin was not feeling well at this time, so he continued to massage, and after a while, Zhang Dequan's voice sounded at the door: "It's unfortunate that the slave came, I didn't expect the mother to be resting." ”

Lu Qingjin opened his eyes and stroked Xiao Ling's hand away and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't joke, it's just a rest and not at night, what's inconvenient, but my father-in-law is here at this time, but there is something wrong with it?" ”

Zhang Dequan respectfully bowed: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to inform Niangniang, and the emperor said that he would stay in the Queen's Palace tonight and ask Niangniang to prepare." ”

Lu Qingjin said in her heart that she really didn't plan to let me go, but she nodded and agreed, and after a while, she frowned when she saw Zhang Dequan still standing at the door, and Xiao Ling transferred all the people below with interest, and Zhang Dequan slowly spoke; "Presumably Niangniang already knows the identity of the slave, there happens to be a letter here that the master asked the slave to hand over, Niangniang wants to see it?"

Lu Qingjin didn't expect the person in the secret to act at this time, and she was a little stunned for a while, until Zhang Dequan gently put the letter in her hand on the table, she said lightly: "Isn't my father-in-law afraid that the palace will tell the emperor?" That's a lot of credit! ”

Zhang Dequan smiled indifferently and looked respectful as usual: "When the mother reads the letter, you will know, some things are simply unnecessary, even if the slave has a second master, he is still loyal, this is not a conflict." ”

After saying that, he didn't Lu Qingjin reply and left on his own, Lu Qingjin picked up the envelope a little helplessly, the seemingly heavy envelope was actually only a piece of stationery, and there were only a few words in it, but her expression changed greatly after reading it.

Xiao Ling quietly walked in from outside: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Lu Qingjin crumpled the letter in his hand and took a deep breath before saying, "You go and burn this thing, you must not let others see it."

Xiao Ling agreed and took the envelope in her hand and left, and when she got to the back, she looked at the red fire and thought about re-unfolding the paper, only to see a line of red characters written on it: "Lu Qingjin is a coffin, and the emperor already knows." ”

Xiao Ling shook her hand and threw the paper into the fire, and after a while, the little palace maid outside saw her: "Sister, how can you be, the queen asked you to send soup, saying that you are uncomfortable eating in the morning, you can go quickly!" ”

Xiao Ling hurriedly agreed, took the soup in his hand and walked out, Lu Qingjin was still sitting there in that posture, and raised his head when he saw her coming: "You already know!" Now can you tell me who your master really is? ”

The soup bowl in Xiao Ling's hand was almost spilled, and her voice trembled a little: "What are you talking about, Niangniang, although the slave maid was sent by Father-in-law Zhang, she doesn't know anything!" ”

Lu Qingjin sat there unmoved: "If you don't say it, I'll guess for myself, it shouldn't be the people from King Wei's side, nor other people who have enemies with me, they will only hope that I will die without a place to be buried, if I am usually cautious If there is anyone else who may harm me, then I only think of one person, it should be the elusive charity mage!" ”

The soup bowl in Xiao Ling's hand fell to the ground instantly, and she knelt on the ground and gritted her teeth: "Niangniang is really smart, but it's useless, although we are philanthropic mages, but in the final analysis, we are still loyal to the emperor, and even if the emperor knows, it won't be anything!" ”

Lu Qingjin took a sip of tea to himself: "Because you have already crossed the clear road with the former emperor, it is not so much that you are the people of the charity mage, but that you are left by the former emperor, the purpose is to protect the emperor, but there is one thing I don't understand, I am just an ordinary concubine, where did I provoke you?" ”

Xiao Ling's voice was rare with doubts and indifference: "The slave doesn't know, but please believe that the slave and maid are tasked with protecting the mother, and the identity of the slave is not in the scope of the slave." ”

Lu Qingjin smiled and didn't speak again.
