Looking at Jiang Zuiyao's frightened appearance, Xi Wei's face changed greatly, and he knelt on his knees again, this time he was more solemn than the previous two times, with a serious look: "Madam, the slave and maid dare not lie about such a big thing, the slave and maid have been serving Concubine Rong since they were thirteen years old, and it has been twenty-two years since this year, and this kind of unknown secret is only known to the slave and maid." ”

Looking at Xi Jun who was kneeling on the ground, this time Jiang Zuiyao did not let her get up, looking at her with a gloomy face, she believed that she would not lie about this kind of headless thing.

It's just that there is one thing that Jiang Zuiyao couldn't figure out, and asked: "Since you know that Concubine Xi is my sister-in-law, why do you dare to tell me about this, not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Xi Jun shook his head firmly: "You won't." ”

Such a firm and unthinking answer made Jiang Zuiyao raise her eyebrows, and her voice turned faint and cold: "Why are you so sure?" ”

He replied slowly: "The slave knows that before Concubine Xi entered the palace, she was at odds with your sister, and it was Concubine Xi who took the place that originally belonged to you and entered the palace. ”

Sitting on the chair, looking at the pity under his knees, his attitude of not being humble or arrogant was very calm, not to lose being a palace maid who had served Concubine Rong, Jiang Zuiyao instantly raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "You used to work with Concubine Rong Guifei, and you can be regarded as a palace maid with a head and a face, how did you get to this place?" ”

Xi Jun replied truthfully: "The slave maid used to be Rong Guifei's personal maid, and Rong Guifei left suddenly, naturally someone couldn't keep the slave and maid, and it was not easy for the slave and maid to leave this life." ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled coldly, looked at Xi Jun in front of her with deep eyes, and spit out such a sentence: "Then are you willing to follow me to do things in the future?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it also made Xi Wei feel surprised, and even more surprised, hugged Jiang Zuiyao's life-saving straw, kowtowed: "As long as Mrs. does not dislike it, the slave maid is willing to have her liver and brains on the ground, and there is no second heart!" ”

Rong Guifei just died, if someone wants to kill Xi Wei's mouth, they have to wait for a while before they dare to start, otherwise Rong Guifei just died, Xi Wei will die immediately, which will naturally arouse suspicion.

Xi Jun was demoted to this inconspicuous post station, I am afraid that this is Jiang Ningyao's meaning, and when the limelight passes, I am afraid that no one in the palace will know.

This point is clear to Xi Jun, and Jiang Zuiyao is also clear about it, so Jiang Zuiyao is sure that Xi Jun will definitely go with her.

Jiang Zuiyao smiled slowly, and her smile became much kinder, which made her feel sorry: "Get up and talk." ”

Xi Jun stood up and looked at the new master in front of her, this was the only way out in front of her.

Jiang Zuiyao then said: "You used to serve Concubine Rong, but now that you follow me, I'm afraid I've wronged you." ”

Xi Jun hurriedly shook his head and said: "Madame is serious, the slave and the maid are humble bodies, you can not dislike the slave and the maid, and be willing to take in the slave and the maid, such a great kindness, the slave and the maid will not be repaid, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the future." ”

The people in the palace are different, if they recognize a master, they will be loyal to him for a lifetime, and they have the word loyalty deeply engraved in their bones.

This night, Xi Jun stayed in Jiang Zuiyao's room, and when he got up early the next morning to get into the carriage, Qin Nanxian saw that there was more people beside Jiang Zuiyao and asked, "Who is she?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao replied: "I see that this person is clever, and I plan to let her serve by my side in the future." ”

Qin Nanxian immediately looked at the inconspicuous Xijun, and while his eyes were wandering, he said, "Why do you look familiar?" ”

He replied with a good manner: "The slave maid was a palace maid who served Concubine Rong before, and I have seen Gongzi Qin a few times before. ”

This reminder, Qin Nanxian then remembered: "Oh, I remembered, at the banquet of the Queen Mother's birthday, the palace maid who served by Concubine Rong Guifei was indeed you." ”

He smiled slowly and nodded slightly.

At this time, Hong Jingxian came over, looked at Xi Jun vigilantly, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

Facing Hong Jingxian, who was full of seriousness, Qin Nanxian replied: "It's Mrs. Shao's newly acquired maid." ”

Hong Jingxian looked at Xi Jun carefully, although he didn't say anything, but he remembered her appearance, and then Hong Jingxian said: "Get in the car quickly, leave now, and you can enter Kyoto in the evening, otherwise I'm afraid it's going to be dark." ”

Qin Nanxian nodded, and then helped Jiang Zuiyao into the carriage, Xijun followed behind, and Qin Nanxian was the last to enter.

The carriage walked slowly, Jiang Zuiyao looked at Xi Jun's salute, but it was just a small cloth bag, there were few things, thought about it, turned his head to Qin Nanxian and said: "Xi Wei is a guilty body, if I plead with the Queen Mother, it should be fine, right?" ”

Qin Nanxian nodded: "Such a trivial matter, if the Queen Mother agrees, she can naturally stay by your side." ”

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao was a lot relieved, leaned on the cushion and stopped talking.

In the evening, he entered the gate of Kyoto on time, looking at the familiar city gate and the familiar street, Jiang Zuiyao was not happy at all.

The carriage did not go in the direction of Shaofu, but went straight to the palace, and when it arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone got out of the carriage.

Hong Jingxian stepped forward and said, "Gongzi Qin, Mrs. Shao, the minister can only escort you here, and you have to go by yourself on the way to the palace." ”

Jiang Zuiyao said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Hong, for escorting you all the way, it's hard work." ”

Hong Jingxian just nodded faintly, it seems that he is not a person who talks much.

Everyone turned around and walked towards the palace gate, but after walking a few steps, Hong Jingxian behind him spoke: "Mrs. Shao, I sent someone to check the maid next to you, and the bottom is very clean." ”

Jiang Zuiyao heard the sound and glanced at Hong Jingxian with a little thought, and wanted to say something, but he just nodded slightly and smiled gratefully.

On the way to the Empress Dowager's Fengzhu Palace, Jiang Zuiyao had been thinking about Hong Jingxian's words, and when she was halfway there, she said to Qin Nanxian: "Why does Hong Jingxian want to check Xijun? ”

Qin Nanxian replied without surprise: "His task is to ensure that you return to Beijing safely, and suddenly there is a stranger next to you, and he should check it out." ”

Jiang Zuiyao asked unexpectedly: "It's only a day, and you can find out?" ”

Qin Nanxian replied with a faint smile: "He is the deputy head of the Imperial City Division, and it is not easy to check the identity of a palace maid?" Don't underestimate the Imperial City Division, if they want to know the details of who's background, they can turn over the eighteen generations of their ancestors clearly. ”

Such words made Jiang Zuiyao feel chills in her heart, they were able to find out in such a short time, she had been with the Queen Mother for so long, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would have already figured out her foundation, right?

Qin Nanxian saw Jiang Zuiyao's worries, and said, "Don't think about it, the Queen Mother can reuse you, which means that she is also very relieved of you." ”

Jiang Zuiyao asked again: "This road seems to be unimpeded, but I'm afraid that there will be setbacks behind the scenes, right?" ”

Qin Nanxian nodded: "Hong Jingxian has already figured out the movements of the Taixuan clan, you are pregnant, so you naturally have to avoid it, this way back, the Taixuan clan has died a lot, and the same is true of the Imperial City Division." ”

A simple sentence, but there is too much information hidden in it.

She Jiang Zuiyao is just a lady, and she is nothing in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but for the sake of her safety, the Queen Mother actually asked the Imperial City Division to protect her at all costs, which is enough to prove how important her existence is to the Queen Mother today.
