Chapter 36: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against

"The slave dares to ask, is Niangniang sad for His Majesty's preference for Yan Jieyu?"

When Chu Yuxi heard this, his expression couldn't help but become serious, "What if I say it's not?" ”

Xiao Jiezi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then the slave can't guess." The slave only knows that the women of this harem live for Your Majesty, all joy and anger are born for Your Majesty, and all jealousy and kindness are also caused by Your Majesty...... It seems that the slave is vainly speculating on Niangniang's thoughts, and Niangniang is different from those people after all. ”

Chu Yuxi subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jiezi, only to feel that he was not simple, so he said tentatively: "Xiao Jiezi, how many years have you been behind Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty was playful when he was young, and often found excuses to leave the palace...... The slave was also bought back when he left the palace once, and he has been following His Majesty for more than ten years since then. ”

Hearing him say this, An Jinyan didn't feel strange. Just thinking that people who have been in this palace for twenty or thirty years may not have as much understanding as Xiao Jiezi, I feel that it is rare.

"It is also Your Majesty who teaches the minions well. The slave was bullied a lot when he entered the palace, and His Majesty always protected me with the six princes, and now I remember it vividly. ”

The sixth prince is the "Ah Hong" that Ye Hansi said last time. As far as Chu Yuxi knew, he was the first prince with a different surname in the palace, Ye Hansi's right-hand man, and now he was also on standby at the border of Xiaoye Country.

He is also a good man who is brave and good at fighting, and I heard Xiaoqi say that he is also fresh and handsome.

didn't talk for a few words, and Xiao Jiezi had already sent Chu Yuxi to the Furong Palace.

After thanking him, Chu Yuxi watched Xiao Jiezi's figure gradually disappear by the black cloud.

"Why did the mother come back so early?"

Behind him came the voice of a small round child.

Chu Yuxi smiled at him, "Your Majesty also got up early." ”

Then he just walked inside, and impartially startled the little bird who was sleeping under the eaves of the porch.

"Niangniang is back, the slave maid will go and prepare some pastries and tea for Niangniang."

Chu Yuxi nodded her head and was about to enter the house, but she still sat down in the courtyard in the faint moonlight, and she also wanted to let her brain blow the wind.

"Niangniang, after you left last night, Shen Jieyu from Zhaoxuan Palace personally sent a rose cake. said that she made it herself, and specially brought it to the mother to taste. ”

"Shen Jieyu", Chu Yuxi muttered softly, "Is it Shen Jiaoqian, the only daughter of Shen Jifan, the Yueqi captain that Xiao Yuanzi told me, the one who was born with Jiangnan characteristics?" ”

Seeing Xiaoli nodding, Chu Yuxi asked her to bring it. If people can afford to look up to themselves, then Chu Yuxi must have to suffer.

Xiaoli brought the rose cake up, and prepared tea according to Chu Yuxi's instructions.

Chu Yuxi was about to twist a piece and taste it, but he stopped when he put it to his mouth. Xu is because he has watched too many TV series in the past, where is there such a simple-minded person in this harem?

What's more, she hasn't figured out the eyeliner inserted by Wei Yiyi and Yang Yuqiong yet, so no one can be trusted.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuxi still put the piece of rose crisp on the plate.

Xiao Li was strange, but he listened to Chu Yuxi's calm order: "Xiao Li, you go and invite Imperial Doctor Jiang now." Just say I'm not feeling well and ask him to come and take a look. ”

Xiao Li looked at Chu Yuxi's face was ruddy and shiny, not like a person who was unwell. I was about to ask, but I thought about it but I still didn't ask. The masters have their own reasons for what they do, so why should they bother to guess?

"Yes, sissy."

After touching a cup of tea, Imperial Doctor Jiang came over.

Because it was still early in the morning and there was no one coming, Chu Yuxi did not call him into the inner room, and directly called her to him.

"Imperial Doctor Jiang, you should carefully examine this plate of rose cake and see if there is any problem." Hundred Flowers Literature

Imperial Doctor Jiang was stunned for a moment, then didn't ask anything, stepped forward and picked up a piece of rose cake, broke it open and looked at it, then sniffed it again, and finally bit it down to intimidate it and put it on the tip of his tongue and chew it carefully. Then he frowned and hurriedly spit out.

"Hui Niangniang, this rose cake has wisteria seeds in it."

Chu Yuxi's gaze fell on the flourishing wisteria, and his gaze became colder and colder.

"Niangniang, the seeds, stems and bark of wisteria are poisonous, and the seeds also contain something called gorse. After ingestion, it will cause diarrhea, vomiting, and in severe cases, cold hands and feet, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and even death. ”

The little bird was dumbfounded.

"According to Weichen, this piece of rose cake contains a lot of powder ground from wisteria seeds, so it tastes bitter."

"Thank you Imperial Doctor Jiang", Chu Yuxi sighed lightly and then retracted his gaze, and instructed Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, send Imperial Doctor Jiang back." ”

After they left, Chu Yuxi called Xiao Liangzi.

"Xiao Liangzi, when the morning dawns, you will take a pair of scissors, cut a few wisteria flowers that are blooming just right, and then send them to Zhaoxuan Palace in person. said that the wisteria here in the palace bloomed well and was also edible, so she let her steam it and eat it herself. Don't be in a hurry to come back after you finish sending it, just keep an eye on it. See if they make any moves, and then come back to me. ”

Xiao Liangzi tilted his head and thought for a while with great difficulty, and then nodded stunned.

When the little bird returned, he hurriedly threw out the plate of rose cakes.

"This Shen Jieyu is very suspicious."

According to Chu Yuxi's current judgment, coupled with the fact that there has been no movement in Chaohua Palace in the past two days, she wondered in her heart whether this Shen Jieyu would be the eyeliner inserted by Wei Yiyi.

If Captain Yue really hooked up with Wei Yuanchen, it would be a terrible thing.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuxi suddenly felt so stressed, she only hoped in her heart that she was thinking too much.

Xiaoli came up with a new pastry, and Chu Yuxi ate it without a bite.

……

Until the breakfast was finished, Ye Hansi was not seen. I heard a lot of talk from the palace maids passing by outside the palace, saying that Ye Hansi abandoned her concubine Niangniang to go to Chenghuan Palace this morning, and personally groomed Yan Jieyu, and even hugged her to stay or something, she was really the first person in the palace, and she was a hundred times better than the lady who came out of the cold palace before.

Originally, Chu Yuxi just wanted to pretend not to hear it, but Xiao Qi beside him was already so angry that his eyes were split.

"Xiaoqi, you invite those two good things to me in, and I will interrogate and interrogate."

I'm just idle and bored.

When Xiao Qi heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and ran out to call the two people in, "Come in yet, our noble concubine has something to ask you." ”

"Don't my mother please don't move you two slaves!"

Hearing that there seemed to be an argument outside, Chu Yuxi got up and walked outside.

When the two slaves and maids saw Chu Yuxi, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The slaves and maids have seen the noble concubine Niangniang." ”

But Chu Yuxi was not prepared to let them get up, "This palace also wants to ask the same question as Xiao Qi, can't this palace still ask you two?" ”

The two maidservants hurriedly knelt down, "Hui Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't mean that." ”

"Which palace are you from?" Chu Yuxi pulled down his face and asked.

I only heard the two maidservants say in unison: "The slave maid is from the Chengxi Palace." ”
