When Xia Li heard this, she was shocked, she had been focusing on the matter of Lan Guifei for the past few days, how could she forget this, if it wasn't for Luo'er reminding herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to remember.

"Do you remember clearly?" Xia Li couldn't hide the joy in her heart and asked excitedly.

Luo'er nodded again and again, "The slave remembers clearly, Niangniang's monthly letter is five days late. ”

"Wait..."Xia Li didn't dare to guarantee whether she was really pregnant with a dragon fetus now, but she didn't want to make a noise, and quietly ordered, "Don't mention this to anyone." ”

"The slave remembers." Luo'er nodded in response.

For the next three days, Feng Moyu spent the night here with Xia Li, which attracted the displeasure of many concubines in the harem, Xia Li found a way to let Feng Moyu go to Fang Zhaoyi, and her body now feels more and more heavy, I am afraid that what I think in my heart has really come true, and I dare not get too close to the emperor.

The night banquet in the palace, Xia Li was ordered to go, the weather was hot, Xia Li had a thin bead of sweat on his forehead, and he felt more and more unwell in the past few days, and then he commanded, "Go slowly, why is the sun so vicious today." ”

"Back to my mother's words, I don't know what happened these days, the wind blew less, and even the sea didn't see the wind and waves." Luo'er replied while fanning Xia Li.

The weeping willows on both sides of the palace are shaded, the paths lead to the emperor's frost palace, the rockeries on both sides are numerous, the shape is unique, the ingenuity is meticulous, the vines are entangled, and they are particularly beautiful.

At this time, it was summer, the sultry and abnormal weather made the cicadas irritable, screaming one after another, Xia Li felt a little tired after walking a few steps, and in a trance seemed to hear someone crying behind the rockery, and hurriedly waved his hand to let Luo'er stop.

Originally, there were only the two of them walking together, so the footsteps were a little softer, Luo'er followed Xia Li to stand in front of the rockery, and heard some sounds behind the rockery, so she hurriedly listened quietly.

"You go and see, who's crying in the back?" Xia Li frowned lightly and said.

Luo'er hurriedly flashed behind the rockery, and after a while, a watery girl came out, and after a closer look, it was Concubine Mei's jujube, Xia Li wondered in her heart, Concubine Mei's bedroom was not in this direction, why did Jujube run here and cry?

"The slave maid greets the lady and the concubine, and the mother is blessed." Zao'er wiped away her tears and knelt on the ground to greet Xia Li.

Xia Li waved her hand, and Luo'er over there helped Zao'er up, only to see that Zao'er's face was red and swollen, it should have been beaten by someone just now, and Xia Li was a little distressed when she saw it.

Luo'er asked, "Why did Sister Zao'er run into this courtyard and secretly cry?" But what grievances have you suffered? ”

Zao'er whimpered, with a look of grievance, and said, "Hui Niangniang, slave maid is..."

"It's just you and me here, it's okay, let's talk." Xia Li looked at her and said in a deep voice.

"The slave combed Concubine Mei's hair just now, and accidentally tore off a few of them, and the mother just..."

Xia Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, Concubine Mei's bedroom was not in this direction at all, but Zao'er was crying here, how could she feel a little deliberate coincidence, she saw the redness and swelling on Tao'er's face, it was not fake, she thought about it and asked, "Okay, you have been wronged, this palace knows, but after all, you are from Concubine Mei's sister's palace, this palace is inconvenient to ask, you go back." ”

"!" The jujube shouted, then knelt down again, crying, "The slave knows that the maid is being favored, and begs the maid to intercede for the slave and maid, don't let the slave and maid go out of the palace!" ”

"Oh?" Xia Li's eyes flashed, and she said, "Concubine Mei drove you out of the palace?" ”

"It's the queen who drove the slaves out of the palace." Zao'er replied.

Xia Li was stunned, this girl in Concubine Mei's palace, why did the queen want to drive her out of the palace, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the queen drive you out of the palace?" ”

"At that time, the queen was also there, and when she saw that the slave maid had done something wrong, she said that she had made Concubine Mei unhappy, and she wanted to drive away the slave maid." Zao'er explained, and Xia Li, who was red and swollen on her face, felt distressed again.

Xia Li was even more puzzled in her heart, isn't it just that a maid has done something wrong, and if she is punished, she will not be sent out of the palace, so she asked, "How long have you been in the palace?" ”

"The slave maid has been in the palace for eight years, and at first she followed the queen mother, and then Lan Guifei entered the palace, and the queen mother chose a few capable ones and sent them to Lan Guifei Niangniang, and then later, Lan Guifei went, and the slave and maid have been following Concubine Mei."

"You say, at the beginning, you followed Lan Guifei?" When Xia Li heard it, she frowned and asked.

Zao'er nodded, thinking that she had waited for many masters in the past few years, only Concubine Lan was very good to herself, but unfortunately she went early, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance in her heart.

"Do you know about Concubine Lan falling into the water?" Xia Li asked vigilantly.

Zao'er looked surprised, she didn't expect Xia Li to ask this question, but she still answered truthfully, "The slave knows something." ”

"Come on." Xia Li asked.

"That day was the queen's birthday, the queen proposed to go boating to help the fun, and also to enjoy the cool, so all the mothers went, Lan Guifei was pregnant, and couldn't blow the wind on the bow of the boat, so she went to the stern of the boat to cool off, who knew that suddenly a group of assassins rushed in from the shore, at that time, they only cared about protecting the emperor, and no one noticed Lan Guifei at all......"

"I know all this, say something else." Xia Li frowned, if Zao'er had served her sister, there must be some other details, she must know, she had to find out who killed her sister!

Zao'er frowned and thought for a long time, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Niangniang, the slave and maid remembered." ”

"What is it?" Xia Li's heart tightened, and he took Zao'er's hand and asked.

"The slave maid remembers, that day, the queen's maid Ruolan came to Lan Guifei's palace, saying that she gave Niangniang a plate of fresh fruit to relieve the heat and give her a good baby, after Niangniang ate the fruit, she was a little sleepy, and when she went boating on the boat, she slept on the soft couch at the stern, and when she heard the assassin attacking, Lan Guifei wanted to run to the cabin in a trance, but she was unstable and fell into the sea!" Zao'er said as her face turned pale, and even she seemed to understand something.

Xia Li's eyes narrowed slightly, her palms couldn't help but clench her fists, and she said coldly, "Don't mention this matter to anyone, you know?" ”

"The slave knows." Zao'er understands in her heart that in this deep palace, if you want to protect yourself, many times, you have to keep your mouth shut, and if you know, you should not know.

Xia Li nodded and continued, "You go back first, the queen's side, the palace will try to bring you over, and you will follow the palace in the future." ”

When Zao'er heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and thanked Dade and said, "The slave and maid thank you for the great kindness of the mother, the slave and maid are unforgettable." ”

After Zao'er left, Xia Li's face turned pale, and the hand holding Luo'er couldn't help but tighten hard, and said in a low voice, "Luo'er, are you quite clear about what Zao'er said just now?" ”
