Holly and Liu Yingge are the same age, it is the age of innocence, plus her lively temperament, Liu Yingge has a good temper on weekdays, so she is a little bold in front of Liu Yingge.

She was sent to this garden by Duan Heng to be Liu Yingge's personal maid, naturally hoping that the master could have a good home, and she could also get some light with her. Although this starting point is more or less selfish, she always hopes that Liu Yingge will be good, so she will help her wholeheartedly and fulfill her wishes.

Although Liu Yingge is willful, she is not stupid, if she wants to use her mother's momentum to find a good husband for herself, she will marry in the name of her sister Liu Yingluo. It's not impossible, but what woman doesn't expect the person she marries in the future to cherish herself as a person, not just her own identity.

Therefore, although she felt that Duan Heng had affection for her and that she was also interested in him, she still needed to observe and take a look.

The girl has a spring heart, but she has grown a lot of wisdom overnight, no longer as ignorant and fearless as before, but because of the pursuit of a better tomorrow, she has more thoughts.

When Xiao He returned from the wine shop, it was almost evening.

She was not lightly drunk, but she still had a little consciousness, at least at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, after Duan Heng put her down from the carriage, she could still swagger into the gate of the mansion by herself. When Hongzhu went to prepare the decanting decoction, Xiao Shi poured a cup of tea for her, but she added something to the tea at a very fast speed before serving it.

Xiao He leaned on the side of the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, and when the teacup was brought to him, he opened his eyes again.

The tea was delivered to her, and she didn't hesitate to drink it all. In fact, she didn't drink much when she was in the wine shop, but she had some worries, so she was drunk. Although the wine is not strong, the pungency of the wine slides through the lungs after entering the throat, and finally turns into a flameless fire, burning all joy and sorrow.

People like to drink alcohol, not because of how good the wine tastes, but because it can intoxicate people, temporarily relieve their worries and forget their sorrows, and not think about those troublesome things, as if those troublesome things are gone.

Xiao He stuffed the teacup back into Xiao Shi's hand, and couldn't help laughing, almost wanting to laugh out loud.

Xiao Shi stood on the side and looked at her coldly, and didn't say much.

"Since last time, you are still in contact with the people of the Blue Dragon Hall?" These things, Xiao He doesn't ask about these things on weekdays, and only asks a few more words when he is drunk. She didn't want to know the answer, because she already had the answer in her heart, but she still had to listen to him say it himself.

After the failure of what Murong commanded, although it had been reported, it was not possible to see any new movements on Murong's side, or if he had not assigned any new tasks to Xiao He for the time being. But Xiao Shi is different, he and Murong have far more private intersections than Xiao He can see.

Not only was he born in the Qinglong Hall, Xiao He even faintly felt that there were some things that Murong secretly handed over to Xiao Shi to do, but he didn't tell her.

Xiao Shi has always maintained a detached attitude, or deliberately kept a distance, especially after coming into contact with Murong.

Xiao He already knew that Murong had a connection with the Qinglong Hall, but to what extent they were connected was something she didn't know, but Xiao Shi had been secretly reconnecting with the Qinglong Hall since then, giving her a feeling of betrayal.

It was he who personally promised that he would not kill anyone again.

"Well, it's just ......" He hesitated a little when he replied, as if he wanted to explain, but he never said it, just because he saw traces of broken light in Xiao He's eyes.

Xiao Hefu smiled and said, "The jade-faced rakshasa has still looked for you?" Or have you been looking for her? ”

At first, she minded Xiao Shi and the Jade-Faced Rakshasa because she felt that they were entangled, but now all kinds of signs made her realize that the Jade-Faced Rakshasa was not the biggest problem, but that he seemed to be back to the old days. What she didn't mind was that there might be other women in his heart, but that the company he said was just a lie.

From the moment he came in, poured tea for her, and added something to the teacup, she watched it all until he brought the teacup with his left hand, and she drank the tea without suspicion. But I can only sigh that my skills are still too shallow, and I can't taste whether it is poison or medicine.

Xiao Shi frowned, wanting to avoid this question, "You have a good rest." ”

The moment Xiao He turned around, he got up and grabbed his right arm, with a slight force, "If you have to lie to me one day, then use more snacks and don't let me know, okay?" The veins on his arm seemed to be beating under her palm, and he let go when there was some warm touch in his palm.

Xiao Shi's lips moved slightly, but he didn't open his mouth in the end, just nodded silently.

At this time, Hongzhu had arrived at the door with a sobering decoction. Xiao Shi turned around and retreated, only to change the red beads to enter. Hongzhu saw Xiao He leaning on the side of the bed, her expression was gloomy, knowing that she had something on her mind, and she didn't say much, "Childe, drink some sobering soup, and rest early today." ”

Xiao Shi returned to his room, and the wound on his right arm was pinched slightly by Xiao He just now, and it cracked open again. He knew that she must have seen that she was injured and did it on purpose, and he also knew that she was angry that she didn't tell her anything, so she misunderstood.

But he still insisted on his own approach, and there was no need for her to know about some things, so there was no need to say it. It is useless to say more, both for him and for her.

The next morning, Jingzhao Mansion was ordered to investigate the case of Ji Changge's attack, and he had already been punished, and now he encountered the haunting of the imperial tomb. At the beginning of the year, there was such a fuss, but it seemed to disappear without careful inspection.

And in this way, it is a bit of a coincidence with the date of the death of Concubine Shu.

Mu Churan handed over the matter to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate, and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion had a bitter gourd face, and he could only knock on the leader's will. There have been haunted incidents in the palace in the past few days, and although he has not heard anyone mention it in the court, the ears of the Internal Affairs Office have indeed heard such rumors from the palace people.

There are several palaces in the harem that look like women after nightfall, shuttling by, running fast, and the footsteps are by no means comparable to ordinary women. But the back, the shirt and the appearance of a woman are clearly a woman, and people are panicked for a while.

Not long after, some palace people were frightened and suffered from symptoms of madness, and muttered all day long: "It's Concubine Shu who has returned!" It's Concubine Shu who has come back to seek revenge! What's more, some people pointed out that the person who murdered Concubine Shu was actually the Queen Mother's cold marks.

In the Chaolu Palace, Leng Qingchen heard this kind of rumor and sneered, "If the mourning family wants to harm her, they will wait until now, as early as more than twenty years ago, before she was named a concubine, the mourning family will do it." Those who love to chew the root of their tongues are all caught by the mourners and slapped their mouths well. ”

Since the Gong Pei incident, she is now under house arrest by Mu Churan with half punishment and half punishment, and she is not allowed to move around the harem at will. Not to mention teaching a lesson, even if you want to summon a few people to come over for questioning, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Although Mu Churan had instructed that the use of the palace in Chaolu was still the same as before, and the guards were still the same, the emperor was angry with the queen mother, which was a well-known thing.

In addition, the Queen Mother's secret guard has been disbanded, and it will be even more difficult to make any more moves.

Although she listened to the rumors and sneered in her heart, she could only reprimand a few words in her mouth, sneering. First, you can't go to Mu Churan to defend yourself, and second, you can't explicitly order the harem to govern everyone. This queen mother, if she doesn't have the phoenix seal to lead the harem, she is just an old woman in the palace. Even if she is the emperor's biological mother, even if her status is noble.

This is when Leng Qingchen really has a fervent desire for power. When the first emperor was in power, she never was so eager for power, she was not crowned, and she didn't care, but she didn't want her son to become the emperor more than ten years later, but it made her greedy for power.

Everyone is like this, what you don't have before will not be tempted, once you have it, and then lose it, there will always be a little unwilling. Especially the more precious the lost thing, the more tormenting the unwillingness is.

From nothing to something, easy, from there to nothing, difficult. Easy, because the heart has a goal, and there is motivation, only to be single-minded and perpetual for the struggle, even if it is difficult, but also to make thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground. It is difficult because people's hearts are already high, and they are not used to the low state of the world, they can't change their state of mind, and they don't know how to get along and lose their original intentions, so it is difficult to succeed.

Moreover, what Leng Qingchen lost together was not only the power of the assistant sixth house, but she also lost more......

After that day, Leng Qingchen had an additional eunuch by his side.

Although others don't know the details, the Shan family knows that this eunuch was brought by her own hand to the net room with the queen mother's token that day. Although she had never seen this person, she felt in her heart that the Queen Mother valued him very much.

Adult men in the suri had to lie down for two or three months before they could move, but he fell to the ground after less than a few days. I don't know if he is in excellent health, or if his heart is different from ordinary people, Shan only knows that the Queen Mother will often retreat left and right, leaving only this person named Wu Tian to serve by her side.

At a time like today, she didn't even have time to open her mouth to persuade the Queen Mother, but she heard the Queen Mother sigh softly, "You all retreat, the mourning family wants to be quiet." When she withdrew with the palace people, she saw that Wu Tian was on the side, stretched out her hand to help the Queen Mother, and seemed to be whispering something to the Queen Mother, but she noticed that someone was watching, and her eyes swept back slightly.

Shan was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look.

This Wu Tian is not the object of her curiosity. With Shan's experience in the palace for so many years, although there are not many masters who serve them, they can be regarded as old men who have experienced two dynasties. She knows very well what her master has never ordered, and she should do it for her master, and of course she knows that there are some things that must not be touched.

The next day, the gifts from outside the palace were quietly sent into the Chaolu Palace.

Over the years, the Queen Mother has received a lot of intentions outside the palace, but now that she has lost power, she has not reduced her sincerity, and I am afraid that there is only this one adult.
