Chapter 13: I bumped into something I shouldn't have seen

After returning to the Condensing Frost Palace, Jian Xiaozhu took a hot bath and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I was refreshed and there was nothing serious. But I heard the other palace maids of the Frost Condensation Palace say that the white condensation frost was infected with the wind cold.

Jian Xiaozhu didn't know if it was because of her words to exonerate Bai Ningshuang, which made Bai Ningshuang's resentment towards her lessen. For many days, Bai Ningshuang didn't trouble her anymore, but lay on the bed sickly, waiting for Murong You to come back and visit her every day.

Murong You and Bai Ningshuang are in love as usual, which is also the reason why Jian Xiaozhu did not hold grudges to help Bai Ningshuang exonerate after being rescued. Jian Xiaozhu knew that even if she told the truth, Murong You would not take the white condensation frost well. On the contrary, it is herself, who may anger Bai Ningshuang because of this, and her life will be even more difficult.

And I don't know if it's an illusion. Jian Xiaozhu always felt that when she fell into the water, Bai Ningshuang seemed to subconsciously want to pull her. So after Jian Xiaozhu came ashore, she found that she still had two red nail marks on her arms.

After the overboard incident, Biyu still didn't trust Jian Xiaozhu. When Jian Xiaozhu helped Bai Ningshuang decoction to make stews every day, Jasper would secretly hide aside to supervise. And every time Jian Xiaozhu walked out of the Condensing Frost Palace to hang out, she could also feel that someone seemed to be following her behind her.

One day, after Murong You left the Condensation Frost Palace to go to the court, Bai Condensation called Jian Xiaozhu to her dormitory. Jian Xiaozhu saw that Bai Ningshuang's face had regained a few traces of ruddy color, and knew that it was the few flavors of medicine that he had fried that had taken effect. In the library of Zhang's mansion, the pharmaceutical knowledge that Jian Xiaozhu learned, although it cannot deal with many incurable diseases, is quite effective for typhoid fever.

Seeing Jian Xiaozhu, Bai Ningshuang asked her, "I heard that you have prepared the prescriptions for the past few days." ”

Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes, Guifei Niangniang." ”

Bai Ningshuang didn't ask anything else, but said, "The jujube paste crisp you made tastes good." ”

Jian Xiaozhu showed a flattered expression: "Thank you, thank you for the compliment!" ”

Bai Ningshuang smiled faintly, and the stone in Jian Xiaozhu's heart also fell temporarily.

The method of making jujube paste crisp was learned by Jian Xiaozhu from the Internet when she was fine at home. After coming to the palace, Jian Xiaozhu was idle every day, so he went to the kitchen to try to integrate modern and ancient recipes to try to make better snacks.

The medicine she has taken in the past few days has tasted extremely bitter, so Jian Xiaozhu made her some desserts. In order to match the taste of the white cream, she deliberately put less sugar and made it with water soaked in flower petals. In this way, the confectionery will have a fresh fragrance.

"Now my body is better, and there will be a moon viewing conference in the palace in a few days, and you and I will make some snacks together and give them to the emperor to taste."

"Yes, sissy."

Although Bai Ningshuang said that he was making dim sum with Jian Xiaozhu, the task of making dim sum was completely handed over to Jian Xiaozhu. Bai Ningshuang has been practicing dancing for the moon viewing conference for several days. Jian Xiaozhu occasionally caught a glimpse of Bai Ningshuang dancing, and she would sigh from her heart, Murong You was a very good person.

On the day of the moon viewing conference, Bai Xiaoshuang dressed up early, and took Jian Xiaozhu and Biyu to the garden where the moon viewing conference was held in the palace at night when the night was dark and windy.

I saw that the garden under the moon was brightly lit, and a banquet full of delicacies was set up in the pavilion where the lanterns were hung. Outside the pavilion, a richly decorated stage is placed. Jian Xiaozhu knew that the stage was specially built for Bai Ningshuang. Every time there is a festival, Bai Ningshuang will dance a song for Murong You.

When Bai Ningshuang arrived at the pavilion, she saw that Su Moxue and the other two concubines were already seated there. When she saw Bai Ningshuang, she smiled at Bai Ningshuang, and then smiled at Jian Xiaozhu. Su Moxue's smile made Jian Xiaozhu break out in a cold sweat instantly, she was afraid that Bai Ningshuang would misunderstand what was going on between her and Su Moxue. However, Bai Ningshuang didn't go to see Jian Xiaozhu, but sat opposite Su Moxue and saluted her with a smile: "Sister came early. ”

Su Moxue smiled at Bai Ningshuang, and a purple-clothed concubine who was much worse than Su Moxue and Bai Ningshuang in appearance rushed to speak: "The queen mother is not like the noble concubine, she needs to spend time preparing to please the emperor." ”

The words of the purple-clothed concubine made the scene fall into embarrassment for a while. Jian Xiaozhu didn't need to guess, she knew that this woman was Concubine Xi. At this time in the novel, only this concubine dared to argue with Bai Ningshuang in person.

However, Bai Ningshuang naturally didn't take her seriously, and didn't even look at her, but said with a sarcastic smile in her eyes: "It is our duty as concubines to please the emperor. If you can't even please the emperor, then you really don't deserve to be a concubine. ”

Jian Xiaozhu saw that Concubine Xi's face was flushed with anger, but she had nothing to say. After all, in ancient times when there was no feminism, Bai Ningshuang's words were irrefutable.

In order to play the round, a concubine in a pale yellow dress moved to sit next to Bai Ningshuang, wanting to talk to her. So he grabbed Bai Ningshuang's hand, looked at her jade bracelet and said, "Guifei Niangniang, this bracelet of yours is really beautiful." ”

Bai Ningshuang smiled faintly and raised her other hand. It's just that she was surprised to see that the white jade bracelet that should have been on her hand was gone. This made her immediately say to Jian Xiaozhu behind her: "Yunzhu, you go and look for us on the way here, you must find the bracelet for me." ”

"Yes, concubine."

Bai Ningshuang's bracelet has always been worn on his hand, so Jian Xiaozhu has an impression of it. It's just that the palace is very big, and the road they have traveled is very long, and Jian Xiaozhu is not sure that he can find the bracelet in his heart.

At night in the palace, many roads are not lit with open fires. Jian Xiaozhu walked in the back garden of the palace with a lantern, and when she heard the sound of the evening breeze blowing through the branches, she always felt that there might be something terrifying hidden behind the shadow of the tree. This made Jian Xiaozhu look forward to finding the bracelet as soon as possible and leaving this black-lit place as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Jian Xiaozhu's luck was good, and it didn't take long for her to find the bracelet in the grass on the road when she came. It's just that on the way back to the banquet, Jian Xiaozhu got lost again and walked to a somewhat remote corner. She heard what seemed to be a strange sound behind the dark bushes ahead. This made Jian Xiaozhu hide the lamp behind him, wanting to leave here quickly before the other party found out.

It's just that Jian Xiaozhu hasn't taken a step yet, but she heard a female voice with a crisp and sweet voice say, "Brother Yan, you can stay with others for a while." ”

Immediately afterward, an unusually cold male voice said: "If you don't go, it's too late." ”

"Got it, got it."

Jian Xiaozhu first heard a few footsteps, and then heard the footsteps that seemed to be running back a few steps suddenly. Then, several indescribable sounds were heard. It seemed that the woman had run back and nibbled a few bites with her friend.

"Brother Yan, I'll go first."

With that, the woman left with cheerful steps from where Jian Xiaozhu could see. Although she didn't see the front of this woman, Jian Xiaozhu could still tell from her side that this woman wearing a pink light gauze skirt should look pretty good.

The woman's footsteps became farther and farther away, and Jian Xiaozhu also breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree. But suddenly, she heard a voice appear behind her: "You saw it all? ”

Jian Xiaozhu could hear that this voice was exactly the same as the male voice she heard just now, gloomy and full of chills.

Jian Xiaozhu didn't know who the other party was, but in order to save his life, he still said in a trembling voice: "It's too dark here, I haven't seen anything." ”

After Jian Xiaozhu finished speaking, he wanted to run away. However, the person behind her stepped out and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

Jian Xiaozhu only felt that this person's strength was very strong. She was about to scream in fright, but the owner of the voice covered her mouth one step further.
