"Wait." Queen Cheng Lingyue suddenly spoke up and summoned Lin Jian, Lin Jianli stopped and walked back to the queen, "My subordinates are here." ”

"You take good care of that person for the palace, don't let him escape, the palace will be useful in the future." Empress Cheng Lingyue commanded solemnly and majestically, her cold eyes flashing with no doubt.

"Yes, the subordinates obey the order, does the queen still have orders? If there are no subordinates, retire first. Lin Jian didn't dare to retire immediately this time, and asked the queen before leaving.

"Well, it's okay, you can go down." Queen Cheng Lingyue nodded with a flat expression, and her slender hands shook slightly.

She slowly leaned back on the soft couch, lying comfortably on her back and leaning on the pillow, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Qingxin immediately took a thin leather quilt and put it on the queen's body, although the leather silk quilt was thin, it was light and warm enough.

At this time, it was the time for Queen Cheng Lingyue to squint for a while every day, and as soon as Qingxin saw the queen lying down, she immediately added a piece of soothing agarwood to the jasper ding, hoping to help the queen fall asleep.

Then Qingxin picked up the needle and thread and sat next to her to embroider a purse, she wanted to embroider a purse for the queen and show off a colorful purse.

"Pure heart!" After a while, suddenly, the squinting queen Cheng Ling called out without opening her eyes.

"The slave is here." Qingxin's slightly lighter eyebrows were raised, didn't the queen fall asleep? Didn't she sleep at all?

Queen Cheng Lingyue suddenly opened her eyes, her dark eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, there was no haze that she had just woken up, clear and transparent eyes, no hesitation, no pity, no kindness, ruthlessness, calculation, and the absoluteness of becoming benevolent if she didn't succeed.

"Come here." Queen Cheng Lingyue raised her hand to beckon Qingxin to come over.

Qingxin walked up to the queen as she said, and she bent over and leaned closer to the queen.

The queen muttered a lot in her ear, listening with a clear heart.

"Niangniang, the slave and maid know, the slave and maid will ...... now"

The queen nodded slightly, narrowed her eyes again, and this time she was resting properly.

Qianxi, to the west of the Imperial Garden, is a place called the Cold Palace, a place that no one usually thinks of, and although there are no overgrown weeds, it is also a sparsely populated, depressed, and quiet place.

But on this day, the gray sky was low and gloomy, and there was a whisper of conversation behind a rockery in Qianxi.

"Then this is for you, you see when you deliberately show it to her, if she asks you, you say that the fellow won it back and let you keep it for him."

She was dressed in a deep, most ordinary dark green palace maid dress, trying to make herself appear low-key and unobtrusive.

"Well, I will, I'll let her see it as soon as I can, but what if she wants me to name my fellow?"

The same ordinary, dark green palace maid dress, the same purpose, is not to attract attention.

"Then you say that it was given by the Zhang guard of the Shenwu Sect, I will inform him, and he will take care of it."

The calm palace maid at the beginning thought for a while and said.

"Well, okay then I know, I'll get things done as soon as possible." The second maid nodded immediately.

"Then I'll go first, you can come out later."

The calm palace maid quietly probed out, and after observing left and right, she hurriedly dodged away.

After a while, the other palace maid also quickly dodged away.

After they left, a small eunuch emerged from behind a thick bush, and after looking around, he secretly left.

"Cuiying, what do you say?" Xiufang frowned and asked helplessly, Cui Ying, who was busy decocting medicine for Mrs. Li.

"What's wrong with Xiufang, is there anything difficult? Go ahead. Cui Ying raised her thin eyebrows indifferently, still unmoved to look at the fire, and replied lazily.

"Well, that's the case, my fellow he and his colleagues gambled and won a very valuable pearl necklace, he was afraid that it was an item in the palace, and it was not yet the time for him to leave the palace, and he couldn't exchange the silver, so he brought it to me to help him collect it, but I don't know where to hide it, if it's gone, I'll be miserable, so I don't know where to hide it, sister, what do you say?" Xiufang twisted her eyebrows and handed over the handkerchief in her hand at a loss, as if she was worried about this matter.

"Oh, what is that, so valuable, can you show me?" Xiufang's vague explanation only aroused Cuiying's curiosity.

"Well, don't tell anyone else about it." Xiufang looked mysteriously left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she carefully took out a bag of things from her arms, a bag of things wrapped in a few handkerchiefs.

She slowly opened it layer by layer, making the nervous Cuiying even more nervous, and Cuiying stared closely at the small bag in Xiufang's hand.

A pearl necklace with a shimmering pink sheen, lying quietly on a sky-blue handkerchief.

Cui Ying pursed her lips sarcastically, she thought it was something precious, it turned out to be just a pearl necklace, what was the big deal, Mrs. Li didn't know how much?

Looking at the unmoved Cui Ying, Xiufang's eyes were slightly raised.

"Alas, this chain is uniform in color and the size of a grain, but it is really a precious thing."

"Really? Let me see! Hearing this, Cuiying curiously took the package handed over by Xiufang.

"Huh!" Cui Ying cried out in surprise, she nervously grabbed Xiuhe's arm, and pinched Xiuhe's arm with her hand.

"Where did this necklace come from?" Cui Ying asked sharply.

Xiuhe hurriedly said: "It was given by the Zhang guard of the Shenwu Gate, he won it back, what's wrong, is it a stolen thing in the palace?" ”

Xiuhe asked worriedly.

"Oh, that's not it."

"Ah, what happened to that sister, why are you so surprised?" Xiufang looked at Cui Ying suspiciously.

Cui Ying lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, she tugged at her lips and smiled faintly.

"It's nothing, I just think this necklace is very similar to the mother's, so I was surprised, and now I look closely and it doesn't look very similar."

"Oh, it's okay, I thought it was a stolen thing in the palace? Scared the hell out of me. Xiufang patted her chest in fear, she frowned slightly, and muttered with a bitter face.

"It seems that I still have to collect it myself, if I lose it, I don't have so much silver to lose."

Xiufang said as she carefully wrapped the necklace and put it in her arms and hid it.

"Oh, sister, the medicine is overflowing! Overflowing! Xiufang shouted in panic.

Cuiying, who was in a trance, suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly pinched the lid of the medicine pot with her hand.

"Ugh!" "Bang, crack." The extremely hot lid fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Cui Ying whistled on her scalded fingers and grabbed her ears, hoping to cool herself down.

"Sister, come here with cold water, soak first, and I'll go get the scald cream."

Xiufang said and stood up, she ran out in a hurry, she ran out and looked back at Cuiying meaningfully, and a touch of coldness passed by her eyes.
