"Okay, I got it. Thank you for sending me back, and you should go back to rest early. ”

After listening to the coachman's words, Ah Xiyan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and replied.

"Miss A is polite, the fourth prince said, you are his most valued friend, let us treat you better than him. Then hurry back to the palace to rest, right? The subordinate retired. ”

The coachman said in a tone of disdain, and said something meaningful, seemingly unintentionally.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ah Xiyan with a strange look in his eyes, and then drove the carriage away.

When she saw the strange eyes of the coachman, and heard the deep meaning in the driver's words, it also made A Xiyan a little confused, and she didn't know what the coachman's eyes meant when he spoke before.

"Miss, are you back?"

As soon as the coachman left, Ah Xiyan, who was staring at the coachman in deep thought, heard Aunt Chang's voice behind her.

"Aunt Chang, there's nothing going on in the house in the afternoon, right?"

Ah Xiyan had no choice but to retract her thoughts, turned around and smiled at Aunt Chang and asked casually as she walked.

"See Miss A!"

Seeing Ah Xiyan walk into the Weiyang Palace, other palace maids and eunuchs came over to ask for peace.

"Well, let's get up and get busy with you. If there's nothing to do, just rest early. Aunt Chang and I have something to say. ”

A Xiyan nodded and said casually.

"Yes, Miss."

The palace maids and eunuchs shouted in unison, and then dispersed.

"Miss A, in the afternoon, Concubine Shu Niangniang came with the newly appointed head of the Internal Affairs Office, Yu, and after seeing that you were not there, she took a turn in the palace, so that within three days, the Internal Affairs Office must purchase new furniture and make the Weiyang Palace look new. He also said that the current palace maids and eunuchs are too few, and they are worried that they will not serve you well, so let the Internal Affairs Office select a group of clever ones to send over as soon as possible. Before leaving, she repeatedly emphasized that you are the person she values the most, and if anyone in the palace dares to snub you in the future, he will be disrespectful to her, and he will bear the consequences. ”

Aunt Chang reported with a somewhat strange expression as she walked with Ah Xiyan.

For Aunt Chang, she really couldn't understand that this Ah Xiyan had never even seen the face of Concubine Shu, and she could become the most valued person in Concubine Niangniang's mouth, which could not but be said to be a miracle.

Ah Xiyan was also a little surprised when she heard Aunt Chang mention that Concubine Shu Niangniang actually came.

But soon he was relieved.

Obviously, her aunt thought she didn't know the truth about seventeen years ago!

So I came over to ask for warmth in a fake way, as for the practice of asking the Internal Affairs Office to send some clever palace maids and eunuchs, it was nothing more than someone who wanted to take the opportunity to install her here.

Obviously, Concubine Shuniang is still very afraid that she will lose control of Ah Xiyan, lest she lose the emperor's favor to her overnight if she is not careful.

And Ah Xiyan has reason to believe that the newly appointed manager Yu may be promoted by Concubine Shu, so naturally Concubine Shu can do whatever she wants.

The previous manager of the Internal Affairs Office, Mr. Wei, was killed by the four princes on the spot because he was disrespectful to Ah Xiyan.

I believe that the newly appointed Manager Yu has learned from Manager Wei's past, and he is also under a lot of pressure.

Since even the emperor's favorite concubine in the harem cares so much about A Xiyan, this is even more daring to be neglected by the manager.

In this regard, Ah Xiyan has no way to refuse Concubine Shu's "kindness", so she can only pay attention to her words when she is in Weiyang Hall in the future.

Fortunately, the Internal Affairs Office will not be able to send new palace maids and eunuchs to Weiyang Hall tomorrow at the earliest, at least tonight, Ah Xiyan still doesn't have to worry about being secretly monitored.

And tomorrow morning she will set off for the border pass, it is estimated that it will be half a month later at the earliest, and if she is taken hostage by the prince of the neighboring country who will take revenge, it may even be longer.

It is not impossible to rule out that it will never come back.

Therefore, Ah Xiyan didn't pay attention to the arrangements that Concubine Shuniang came to come in the afternoon, and she didn't pay attention to the arrangements she had made carefully.

If Ah Xiyan never comes back, then all that Concubine Shuniang did will become meaningless.

After listening to Aunt Chang's report, Ah Xiyan was slightly surprised, and quickly figured out everything and regained her calm again.

After seeing Aunt Chang's strange expression, Ah Xiyan also smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, Aunt Chang, do you think what happened to me today is too unbelievable, right?" I think that I just came to the imperial city, just sneaking into the palace to get back the sachet, so that the four princes can personally recommend it, and the emperor will be appointed as the chief imperial doctor, and the eldest lady of the general's mansion is willing to cook for me in person, and the eldest princess is also commensurate with my sister, and she can also make the lady concubine Niangniang, who has never met before, value me so much. I believe that anyone who listens to this switch will find it unbelievable. I wonder if I'm so lucky! In just a few hours, so many people value and care. I believe that in this huge imperial city, some people may not be able to do this after a lifetime of hard work, right? But if I say I'm not happy, but miserable, would you believe me? Hehe. Aunt Chang, close the door, come and sit down, have a cup of tea and rest, let's talk as we like, right? ”

When she said this, Ah Xiyan had already walked into her dormitory, sat down a little tired, looked at Aunt Chang who came in with her with a wry smile, and beckoned her to close the door and come over and sit down and have a good chat.

Ah Xiyan also suddenly felt very aggrieved and aggrieved, but she didn't know who to complain to, so she said a lot of things to Aunt Chang.

After pouring two cups of tea and watching Aunt Chang come to her and sit down, Ah Xiyan also waited for Aunt Chang's answer with great interest.

Aunt Chang hesitated slightly, but sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Miss A, although the experience that happened to you today is unimaginable to ordinary people, I also think that you are too lucky. However, with all due respect, the old slave has always thought that everything has a cause and an effect. What you've experienced this afternoon isn't just a matter of luck. Maybe something from many years ago has accumulated over time and only revealed today. As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, that's the truth. If the old slave didn't guess wrong, there was a special reason for this. And for this reason, you can't disclose it to the public for the time being, so it is just unbelievable to outsiders who don't know. But in fact, only you know the pain in your heart, and it is still an unspeakable pain. Until you say it thoroughly, you can only bear it yourself. No one can help you. Therefore, the old slave can understand your current mood, and also knows that everything may have to be said in the true sense of the word only after you return from your trip to the border tomorrow. Because there may be secrets hidden in it. And it takes great courage and a certain chance to reveal such a secret to the world. The old slave waited for that day to come. I believe that when that day comes, it will be the beginning of a good day for you to really come to the end, right? ”

"Aunt Chang, you are worthy of being well-informed, in one word. Only you can guess my mind and understand my pain without being fully aware of it. You're right, I look glamorous and valued by everyone on the surface, but in fact I'm miserable and walking on thin ice. And the most frustrating thing for me is that I can't tell everything as it is. Because there are too many people and things involved, and even secrets that were unknown many years ago. So I have to face it alone, and when the day is the most appropriate, I can let it all come to light, so that I don't have to go through every day with a smile like I am now. You know? Aunt Chang, being able to tell you this makes me feel much more comfortable. Thank you, Aunt Chang, for being willing to listen to me. Okay, let's not talk about it, Aunt Chang, you've been busy for a day, so let's rest early. I want to be alone and think about tomorrow's trip to the border to make sure I come back alive. Otherwise everything becomes meaningless. ”

A Xiyan replied with emotion.

"Yes, Miss A, you will definitely come back safely. Because the old slave always thinks that good people will be rewarded. By the way, Miss A, the old slave has already arranged for someone to boil hot water, and you can go to take a bath and sleep in a while. I also boiled a bowl of soothing soup, and you drank it after taking a bath before going to sleep, right? As for the baggage you will use for tomorrow's departure, the old slave has already been prepared. Please rest assured that it is prepared exactly according to your requirements. There was nothing else to do, so the old slave went to rest first. ”

Aunt Chang said with great certainty.

"Okay, Aunt Chang, thank you for your hard work, I know, you can go and rest quickly."

A Xiyan said gratefully.

After that, Aunt Chang left.

And Ah Xiyan sat there distractedly and began to think about the details that should be paid attention to when crossing the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons tomorrow.

Not long after Aunt Chang left, a man wearing a mask quietly came behind Ah Xiyan, and generously walked to the seat where Aunt Chang had sat opposite Ah Xiyan and sat down.

It wasn't until the other party sat down and poured a cup of tea for her and herself that Ah Xiyan noticed that a masked man was sitting opposite.

At first, Ah Xiyan thought it was Ah Kui who had seen in Jingxin Yuan before, but after a closer look, she realized that the other party was actually the mysterious man who sneaked in in the afternoon and gave her a temporary antidote pill for her natural poison.

That is, the one who, like her, was born with poison.

Seeing each other, Ah Xiyan was also very excited.

Because she is going to the border tomorrow morning, she also hopes to see him again before leaving.

She wanted to tell the other party that she was very grateful for his temporary antidote pill, so that she could recognize her family like a normal person before.

I also want to tell the other party that if I can come back from the border pass alive this time, I must develop a permanent antidote to the innate poison as soon as possible to repay him.

By the way, I also want to ask about the identity of the other party, she doesn't want to get along with people who are kind to her so unexplained.

It is not even excluded to tell the other party their identity.

Because since they are both born poisonous people, why can't they be honest with each other?

Therefore, Ah Xiyan is also full of expectations for the next conversation......
