Chapter 525: A Thorn in the Eye

525

Early in the morning, Xu Guifei's face was not very good.

There was a faint dark shadow under his eyes, and his complexion was not as rosy as before, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well at night.

But a little palace maid accidentally broke a tea cup, and the sound of broken porcelain was very harsh, so Xu Guifei was angry and called someone to come over and slap her mouth.

Ding Neijian happened to see this scene when he came in.

He wasn't on duty last night, so he didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he entered the door and saw the situation in front of him, he guessed a few points, after all, he had been following Xu Guifei for so many years, and he could say that he had a very clear temper with his master.

immediately stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the beaten little palace maid and said, "The newly picked girl is hairy, not like a look." Why don't you go down quickly, go outside and kneel, what's going on in front of your mother?! ”

The little palace maid didn't dare to beg for mercy or cry after being beaten, and covered her face with two bags of tears and went down quietly.

Here, Eunuch Ding diligently rubbed Xu Guifei's temples and shoulders and neck, and asked carefully, "Did Niangniang sleep badly last night?" Do you want to ask a doctor to come and have a look? ”

"No need, I just had a dream, and when I woke up, I was sleepy, and I couldn't sleep anymore, so I'll make up for it later." There was a hint of tiredness in Xu Guifei's tone: "You press me first." ”

"Niangniang, the slave has something I want to tell you," Ding Neijian whispered in Xu Guifei's ear: "Yesterday, I went to Liu Cairen's place, and I happened to see Wei Yining also there. When she saw that I was going, she got up and left, and I sent an apprentice to follow her, who would have thought that she would go to the cold palace to find the palace maid named Chunhe. ”

"Spring lotus?" Xu Guifei was a little stunned.

"It's the original palace maid of Cuiming Palace." Ding Neijian reminded.

Xu Guifei's back stiffened visibly, and she asked, "What is she going to do there?" Inquire about the past? ”

"It should be, otherwise what would she run to the cold palace? But my apprentice had already pushed the old man and woman into the well and drowned, and she couldn't find anyone to ask again. Ding said.

"Although it has been a long time since the incident, she is afraid that she will not be able to find out if she wants to investigate, but the queen is very serious about this girl, and I am afraid that she will take the opportunity to make trouble." Xu Guifei said: "It is always necessary to prevent problems before they happen. ”

"What Niangniang said is that the slave also thought of it, and specially sent an apprentice to keep an eye on her to see if she had any abnormal behavior." Ding Neijian said slowly: "But the slave still wants to ask for the meaning of the mother, if you are really not at ease, why don't we strike first?" ”

"Now at this time, more things are better than less things, just keep an eye on her, and then do it if you find that the signs are wrong," Xu Guifei commanded in a deep voice: "Liu Cairen has been crazy recently, but that person has sent a message in, let us solve her as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, the slave went to see Liu Cairen yesterday, and he is indeed crazy. It's just that although she wasn't conscious before, she never talked nonsense. I don't know what's going on this time.,It's a lot of nonsense.。 Ding Neijian said: "According to the slaves, they can't stay." ”

"In that case, you have to find a way to keep it secret." Xu Guifei said: "Don't let people see anything. ”

As soon as Eunuch Ding agreed here, a palace maid came in from outside and said, "Niangniang, the girl is asking to see her outside." ”

In Xu Guifei's palace, everyone called Xu Zhixi a girl.

"What is this girl doing again? I just got into trouble a few days ago, don't you have a long memory now? Tell her to come in. Although Xu Guifei complained in her mouth, she still felt sincere pain for her niece.

Xu Zhixi walked in, dressed in pink and glossy, and saw Xu Guifei greeting with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing here early in the morning?" Xu Guifei asked Xu Zhixi while instructing someone to bring bird's nest porridge to Xu Zhixi to eat.

"It's not that Sun Mingming, you've begged me for a few days, and you have to ask me to come to you to intercede for the third prince." Xu Zhixi shrugged helplessly: "She is usually so respectful, I always don't want to refuse ruthlessly, so I have to come to you and tell her that I told you when I turn around." ”

Xu Guifei didn't speak when she heard this, Sun Mingming usually respects their aunts and nephews a lot, and they are short-handed, this principle is the same wherever it is used.

"Miss, according to the slave, there is no need to worry, the third prince was only grounded for three months, and he will naturally come out at the end of the year, and he is not being punished inside." Ding said.

"Who's to say it isn't? I told her a long time ago, who knew she just wasn't at ease. Xu Zhixi said helplessly.

"This girl is really enough to admit death, it seems that she is really eyeing Sixian, you go back and tell her, when the third prince comes out, I will tell him, and settle the matter of the two of them as soon as possible." Xu Guifei said.

And Sun Mingming here can't wait.

Originally, she wanted to go to the queen to explain that the birthday gift given by the third prince to Xu Guifei was the money she took from herself, but when she thought about it, the third prince did not tell her directly, but Chen Fu contacted about it.

What's more, she was afraid that the queen would suspect that there was any ulterior relationship between her and the third prince, so it would be self-defeating, so she could only endure it and not say it.

But when the third prince was grounded for a day, she felt uncomfortable.

What's more, she was afraid that the third prince would completely lose the emperor's favor because of this, so it was very likely that she would not be crowned king in the future, after all, there was a precedent for such a thing.

Sun Mingming doesn't want her to end up in a bamboo basket for water, in this matter, their family can be regarded as doing their best, and they must not give up halfway.

Sun Mingming first begged Xu Zhixi, but later found that he couldn't count on it at all.

What's more, now Concubine Xu is no longer as favored as before, and the emperor has not lived in her palace for two months in a row. Even if she wanted to help, she was afraid that she would not have a chance.

So Sun Mingming was ruthless and decided to go to Zeng Guiren.

"I'd rather ring the golden bell than knock on the cymbals for three thousand." Sun Mingming said to herself.

What's more, putting aside the matter of interceding for the third prince, just looking at how favored Zeng Guiren is now, there is absolutely no harm in pleasing her.

So this morning, Sun Mingming pinched the time, waiting for the opportunity for Zeng Guiren to go to the queen's palace to ask An to come out, and wanted to step forward to set a set of almost.

However, to her disappointment, Zeng Guiren did not come out of Fengyi Palace alone, she was also followed by Wei Yining and Duanmin County Lord, and their group went directly to Mayuan to ride horses.

Seeing Zeng Wanshi and Wei Yining talking and laughing intimately, Sun Mingming's eyes were on fire.

Why did you let this stinky girl take the lead?

"I must find a way to suppress Wei Yining," Sun Mingming secretly decided: "Who let her stand in the way in front of me." ”

Sun Mingming felt that if Wei Yining really became a person who was a nobleman, it would definitely not be good for him.

What's more, she is still counting on helping the three princes turn over through Zeng Guiren.
