Liansheng Kingdom Palace, Xiangtong Palace.

In the early morning, when it was already dawning, some of the ladies with brooms did not seem to have woken up, yawning all the way, and were lazily walking towards the garden, which was customary for them to clean the whole garden at this moment.

Thanks to the daily cleaning, the garden looks clean and there are nothing particularly dirty that requires a lot of effort to clean.

Therefore, most places only need to be symbolically walked, and a small number of fallen leaves can be swept simply, and the errand can be handled.

Only the Xiangtong tree in the center of the garden, the palace maids all understood that it was absolutely sloppy, because Yin Guifei cared about this Xiangtong tree very much, and she had breakfast under the Xiangtong tree every morning, which had become the most comfortable time for her every day.

Even when the snow is falling all over the sky in winter, it is no exception, so these palace maids often gather here in the end, and carefully sweep the area of the Xiangtong tree within a radius of 30 zhang together, to ensure that there is not a single fallen leaf or a single weed, and finally it is not a trace of dust that can be seen before it is completed.

It stands to reason that when it snows in winter, it will be very cold to dine under the fragrant tree in this garden, after all, this is outdoors, and the cold wind is extremely biting, but on the contrary, it is warm as spring all year round under this fragrant tree, and the fragrance is pleasant.

That's because there is a hot spring under this fragrant tree, and the fragrant tree itself is also warm as jade, warm to the touch, and from time to time it exudes a particularly elegant fragrance, especially suitable for women who prefer fragrance to sit here for a while, enjoy the most rare warm time.

And Yin Guifei is cold by nature, afraid of cold, and especially likes the warm spring season, but the four seasons of Liansheng Country are distinct, and only spring can really satisfy Yin Guifei, but only under the Xiangtong tree in this Xiangtong Palace can Yin Guifei have the feeling of spring all year round.

So in addition to enjoying breakfast here every day, sometimes when you are in a bad mood, just drink a cup of tea under this tree, calm down and sit for a while, and soon all your worries will disappear.

Even when His Majesty occasionally lives in Xiangtong Palace, he will come here to have breakfast with Concubine Yin, so all the palace maids and royal guards of Xiangtong Palace are particularly concerned about this Xiangtong tree, and they are usually very careful about taking care of and caring for it.

I am afraid that during Concubine Yin's breakfast, there will be a trace of preparation that is not in place, and it will be miserable if the picky Concubine Yin sees it.

Because once such a situation occurs, it is common to scold at least and lose your life at worst.

Once when Yin Guifei was dining, a gust of wind blew, and a leaf swayed and fell, which happened to fall in Yin Guifei's bowl.

Suddenly, Concubine Yin Guifei was furious on the spot, and punished the palace maids who were cleaning the garden that day for eating a basket of fallen leaves in front of her before letting them go.

Most of the palace maids vomited and diarrhea due to eating a basket of leaves, and it took several days to return to normal, and there were also two palace maids who may be allergic to leaves, and after vomiting, they were covered with red blisters, and finally unfortunately died.

Since then, cleaning up the fallen leaves within a radius of 30 zhang of the Xiangtong tree has become the top priority of the palace maids.

Although this kind of leaf shedding is an unpredictable thing, and the palace maids can't be blamed completely, but in the eyes of Yin Guifei, there are no extenuating words, everything just depends on her mood.

If she is in a good mood, even if the palace maid accidentally breaks the expensive vase in the house, she will listen to it as a festive firecracker, and she can even ignore it, and let the palace maid continue to break other vases, the more lively the breaking sound is, the happier she listens, and she rewards the palace maid heavily.

But if she is in a bad mood, even if she accidentally spills it on her body when she drinks soup by herself, she will be angry with the palace maid who serves her next to her, and without saying a word, she will be killed directly.

Therefore, every new palace maid will be solemnly warned, that is, cleaning the Xiangtong tree within a radius of 30 zhang every day, and serving Yin Guifei for breakfast, is the most important thing in Xiangtong Palace.

After each cleaning is completed, the palace maid will check herself, no problem, and then ask Yin Guifei's personal palace maid to check it again, to ensure that nothing is wrong, then it will start to serve dishes and snacks, and finally invite Yin Guifei to come over for dinner.

Every day is like this, rain or shine, over and over again, and it has formed a fixed habit.

At this moment, it was a new day, and about a quarter of an hour had passed, and all the palace maids who were in charge of cleaning the garden, after this quarter of an hour of symbolic cleaning, all gathered under the incense tree in the center of the garden, listened to the precautions that the palace maid in charge had to repeat every day, and then dispersed and got busy.

Although this area is not sloppy, due to the daily cleaning, the palace maids are also very skilled, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Time flows in the process......

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and it was time for Concubine Yin to dine again.

As usual. Under the command of the palace maid in charge, the palace maids began to serve food one after another.

And Concubine Yin, accompanied by the personal palace maid, slowly walked towards the fragrant tree in the center of the garden.

Because Concubine Yin was woken up by the palace maid last night, she learned that Princess Yidan left Lingyang Palace without permission, and also broke her promise, that is, to tell others that she had abused her.

Not only that, Princess Yidan even told the goddess Empress Dowager about forcing her mother to death.

Although Yin Guifei was very confident that no matter how much the Empress Dowager investigated, it would be impossible to find evidence that she had forced Concubine Dan to death, but this incident still made her very angry.

After that, Concubine Yin was worried that at the request of Princess Yidan, if the Empress Dowager would come forward during the day tomorrow and ask Her Majesty to investigate this matter, it would still bring her unnecessary trouble.

So she simply didn't do anything, and decisively sent a killer to infiltrate the side hall of the palace of the goddess and empress dowager, and with the cooperation of the palace maid who had been bought by her a long time ago, she stunned the four royal guards who guarded Princess Yidan.

Successfully put a fire in the side hall of the goddess palace, thinking that Princess Yidan would definitely die, who knew that just before the side hall collapsed, the goddess Empress Dowager actually appeared out of thin air and rescued Princess Yidan.

Then Princess Yidan disappeared, because Concubine Yin asked all the eyeliners she had placed in various palaces, but she did not inquire about the whereabouts of the rescued Princess Yidan.

Obviously, Princess Yidan was hidden in a very safe and private place by the goddess and the empress dowager.

As a result, Concubine Yin couldn't close her eyes after tossing and turning all night last night, so she was still in a very bad mood when she walked towards the Xiangtong tree in the center of the garden at this moment.

When they saw the gloomy face of Concubine Yin who had come all the way, all the palace maids knew that Concubine Yin's mood today could be said to be extremely bad, so they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to come out, nor did they dare to look at Concubine Yin, for fear of making a little noise, or attracting Concubine Yin's attention because of looking at her, and maybe they would become the object of Concubine Yin's venting at that time.

Of course, the thoughtful Concubine Yin also guessed that Princess Yidan must have been placed in an extremely secret secret room by the goddess Empress Dowager.

It's a pity that this palace has been frozen for fifteen years, and after His Majesty's unrepentant transformation, almost every palace has a secret room underground, and the opening method and specific location of the secret room are only known to the owner of the palace himself.

Even the personal palace maids, even the most trusted henchmen, may not know the specific location of this secret room.

The purpose of such strictness is to ensure that the owner of each palace can escape alone in the event of a particularly big crisis in the palace.

Because at that moment, the people around me may not be sincere to themselves. Therefore, this secret room is limited to the knowledge of only the master and His Majesty, and no one else can know about it.

Therefore, Concubine Yin Guifei couldn't find the exact location of this secret room at all, and she couldn't arrange for the killer to attack Princess Yidan again.

Originally, Concubine Yin Guifei wanted to send someone to kill the goddess Empress Dowager, but when she recalled the show performed by the Empress Dowager in the court, she knew that her killer might not have the ability to kill the Empress Dowager.

At that time, if she does not succeed and is caught by the Empress Dowager with special abilities, then everything she has worked hard for so many years will be in vain.

But if it is allowed to develop like this, Concubine Yin is worried that the goddess Empress Dowager will really interfere in Princess Yidan's affairs, and her life will not be easy in the future.

You have to be careful everywhere, otherwise if you have a slight mistake, it will be a situation from which you will never recover.

That's why she walked towards the fragrant tree in the center of the garden with a gloomy face.

When Concubine Yin sat down and looked at a table of her favorite breakfast, she had no appetite at all.

After being silent for a long time, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of dim sum, and ate it slowly, thinking about how to deal with the investigation of the goddess and the empress dowager next.

Maybe it's because the mood is too depressed, she always feels that today's dim sum is also tasteless, and there is no special sweet feeling like usual, as if there is a trace of strange taste.

Moreover, for some reason, she still felt that today's Xiangtong tree was not as fragrant as usual, and she always felt that there was a faint smell wafting into her nose.

Suddenly, she glanced up at the Xiangtong tree with some displeasure, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

Just as she was about to lower her head and continue to eat snacks, she accidentally saw something fall from the gap in the fragrant leaves above her head, and with a "poof" sound, it happened to fall into a cup of tea in front of her.

This sudden voice also attracted the attention of the palace maid beside her, and when the palace maid looked up curiously at the teacup that made the sound, she screamed in fright: "Ah......"

After hearing the palace maid beside her shout, Concubine Yin's face became even more gloomy and she picked up the cup to look at it, but even she screamed in fright, threw the teacup out, and turned around and vomited.

The reason why Yin Guifei was scared like this, and she was so disgusted that she vomited, was because in her teacup was actually a rotten human finger......
