Chapter 53: The Disappearing Biluo
I saw that her eyes were still avoiding me, and I immediately understood that she should have lied, but what was the matter with the blood in her fingernails?
"Senior sister, do you have something to hide from me?" I looked at her, said with a calm face, very serious.
Senior Sister's lips trembled, and she smiled at me: "Xiyan, you have too much heart, what is the matter with Senior Sister, so I want to hide it from you?" Eat it quickly, the porridge will be cold in a while. ”
After the senior sister said that, she drank the porridge by herself.
I looked at her, full of doubt.
"Is it really okay to hide it from me?" I opened my mouth again to confirm.
The senior sister shook her head firmly, and then buried her head and continued to drink porridge, I breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied the senior sister to finish the breakfast.
After breakfast, my sister began to urge me to go back to Anqian Palace, saying that she was worried that Xiao Ce would be suspicious when he came to see me in a while.
"Then let's go talk to your dormitory, senior sister?" I thought, it's safer this way.
The senior sister was stunned, and immediately refused, and pursed her bright red lips, and said that it was better to go to the main hall.
As the senior sister arrived at the main hall, in order to prevent others from hearing our conversation, the senior sister withdrew them (her) and chatted with me alone.
Senior sister brought me the teacup, and I looked at the palace maids who went out, and asked casually: "Senior sister, where is Biluo?" ”
"Smack!" With a bang, the senior sister's hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
"Senior sister, are you alright? Is it hot? I took her hand and looked at it.
She shook her head, quickly withdrew her hand, and asked rhetorically, "Who told you that Bi fell in my palace?" ”
"It's Yongxin Palace, a palace maid named Yueling said it, but why did I come twice and didn't see Biluo?" I also looked at the ladies standing outside.
"Oh, she, her temperament, I don't like it, so I let her do rough work." After speaking, the senior sister motioned for me to sit down.
When I heard it, I felt that it was inappropriate, after all, that Biluo was the person of Yongfei Niangniang, and the senior sister did this, isn't it equivalent to slapping Yongfei Niangniang's face?
"A slave is nothing in the eyes of the master, so you don't need to worry." The senior sister already saw that I was worried about her, so she opened her mouth to explain.
I nodded, thinking that too, Biluo's temperament is not pleasing either, maybe it was Concubine Yong who was tired of watching her, so she gave it to her senior sister.
"Senior sister, I came today because I have a good thing to tell my senior sister." I glanced out of the temple door, then kept my voice to a minimum.
When the senior sister heard this, she asked me suspiciously.
"Senior sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has promised me to rescue Senior Brother for us!" I said happily.
I thought that the senior sister would be very happy when she heard this, but she never expected that after the senior sister heard this, her eyebrows frowned, and her face became a little gloomy.
"Senior sister, aren't you happy?" I don't understand why my sister reacted like this.
Senior Sister lifted her long, narrow, complicated eyes and stared at me.
After a long time, she spoke: "Xiyan, you underestimate the priest too much, the whole thing is not as simple as you imagined. ”
When the senior sister spoke, her eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Why did Senior Sister say that? Could it be that my sister still has something inside that she didn't tell me? I looked at my sister and frowned.
The senior sister picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then seemed to remember something, and asked the palace maid outside to bring in refreshments.
"Senior sister, now is not the time to eat snacks." I looked at her seriously.
She just looked at me and smiled.
After a while, the refreshments arrived, a total of six plates, one of which was my favorite sugar gourd.
Senior sister pushed the sugar gourd in front of me, and then said, "We have grown up, seventeen years old." ”
"Senior sister?" I looked at my sister, and my throat was a little dry.
I used to want to eat this, but now I don't have an appetite for anything.
"You must like this, it was sent from the imperial dining room." After the senior sister finished speaking, she used a small silver fork and fed it to my mouth.
"Senior sister, you better tell me first, what do you think?" Before I finished speaking, my senior sister had already stuffed the sugar gourd into my mouth.
And, diverting the topic, tell me that today, I don't need to send medicinal herbs for medicinal baths to Concubine Yong, she has already sent someone to send the decoction together.
"Senior sister, if His Royal Highness can't help us, Concubine Yong can't help her, so don't give her any more decoction, just in case?" I want to stop talking, after all, there are many palace maids outside the palace, and I don't want to say it too bluntly.
The senior sister listened, but just smiled coldly: "Do you think that we can stop if we want to?" Now, Concubine Yong herself wants to seize this last opportunity, if I don't give the decoction, she will inevitably come to Xingshi to ask for her guilt. ”
"But what about the potion?" As soon as I opened my mouth to ask, a palace maid broke in, saying that the high priest of the priesthood had arrived.
Senior Sister immediately got up and asked the palace maid to take me out of the side gate of Hua Hin Palace.
Aunt Xin and I, as if fleeing for our lives, quickly left Hua Hin Palace.
So, when I came in, I had a heart and asked the sedan chair to wait at the main entrance.
"Girl, let's come to Hua Hin Palace less in the future, His Royal Highness also advised, let the girl stay in Anqian Palace, the palace is treacherous, only Anqian Palace is safe." Aunt Xin helped me into the sedan chair and specially told me.
I nodded silently, sitting on the sedan chair and worrying about my senior sister, that Xiao Ce seemed to be staring at my senior sister all the time, walking around so diligently every day, I was afraid that it would not be easy for my senior sister to escape.
To think like this is to be worried.
When I returned to Anqian Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not yet returned, so I went back to my room, thinking that Ming Beilin would appear, but I didn't know where he went.
I still took the time to go to the "Medicine Yu Pavilion" to grab medicine for His Royal Highness the Prince.
It was not until late at night that His Highness returned, and brought me good news, that is, the Celestial Master promised that if he could win this winter hunt, he would be allowed to make a request.
"When the time comes, I will ask for your senior brother, that is." He said, smiling with relief.
I looked at his black hair with snow on it, and his cloak was stained with snowflakes, and I was very touched to know that he had done his best for me.
"However, two days later, we will set off for Ziwei Mountain, Xiyan, you will rest for the next two days, I will ask Aunt Xin to prepare more thick clothes for you, but I am afraid that when you arrive on Ziwei Mountain, it will be even colder." After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, he paused again: "Don't worry, even if it's for you, I will do my best." ”
I still frowned when I heard this, and I was going to go to Ziwei Mountain for winter hunting in two days, but His Royal Highness's body was so weak, it was too far-fetched to go winter hunting.
