In this way, the guard must be the right-hand man who protects Concubine Chen, so Xinrui nodded and went to the back kitchen while everyone was not paying attention.

At noon, Xianya Palace.

Gardenia stood at the door, looking in the direction of the palace gate like a wangfu stone, sometimes shaking her head, sometimes sighing.

On the side, Zhiqiu cleaned up the medicinal materials back and forth three times, and when he saw that Gardenia was still like this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Gardenia, don't look at it, Niangniang has just left, and if she wants to come back, it will be at least half a month younger!" ”

When Gardenia heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Isn't that all New Year?" I remember that the Chinese New Year used to be lively, accompanied by the lady and the young master, everyone ate together, and even the aunt would come to visit the young lady. ”

At that time, Jin Yantang was already the emperor, Shang Kelan refused to enter the palace, so he stayed in the mansion, even if it was the New Year, Jin Yantang was very busy, and he would take time to visit Shang Kelan in the Zuo Xiang's mansion.

I wonder how the New Year in the palace will be going this year?

Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile when he saw Gardenia's appearance, shook his head, and then went into the dormitory to clean up the room with Wandong.

After a while, Xiaoxia came to comfort Gardenia and said, "Sister Gardenia, I made a hot pot at noon, you can come to my room to eat with us, and I also called Mr. Fu and Late Winter and Zhiqiu!" Mr. Li will be here too! ”

Mr. Li refers to the eunuch Li Xiulian, the chief administrator of the imperial dining room.

Xiaoxia has a good relationship with him, and even takes care of Xianya Palace.

Because when Concubine Ning framed Shang Kelan, Li Xiulian also came out to help Concubine Chen testify, which allowed Concubine Chen to escape, so after Concubine Chen took charge of the harem, the imperial dining room in charge of Li Xiulian was also taken care of by Concubine Chen, and the relationship between the two sides became better and better, and the contacts became more frequent.

It's just that as soon as Xiaoxia's words fell, a palace maid hurriedly ran in and said: "Oh no, no, Yuliu was punished by Concubine Xiao Chen to kneel in the imperial garden, and the manager of the imperial dining room was also removed by Concubine Xiao Chen!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gardenia and Xiaoxia were both taken aback!

Even when the queen was in charge of the harem, she didn't use the imperial dining room to open the knife, this little concubine Chen just took charge of the harem, and she made such a big prestige, and she punished the jade willow of Xianya Palace in the winter, and let Manager Li be dismissed, it is really a great majesty!

Gardenia frowned and said, "Do you know what is the reason why Yuliu was punished to kneel?" ”

Yuliu is the previous white peony, even if she was at fault first, but since Niangniang has given her a chance to be reborn, then she is also a person from Xianya Palace, Gardenia does not allow the people in her palace to be so badly abused by outsiders.

Just listening to Gardenia's question, the palace maid hesitated, and said with some unspeakability: "Concubine Xiaochen said that Yuliu and the head of the imperial dining room Li gave each other privately, and they moved their hands and feet in her meal, so we must punish them well......"

"Let it go...... What a nonsense to put in! I don't know if Yuliu is that kind of person, but it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Li to do anything in anyone's food! ”

When the swear words came to her mouth, she was forced back by Xiao Xia, and she was about to refute the words of the palace maid, but she said such a sentence.

Anyway, she didn't believe that this was true, and no matter how stupid Xiaoxia was, it was impossible to believe that Yuliu and Manager Li would do something private, after all, Yuliu was the palace maid beside Zhao Kehan before, and she also had some eyes, and Manager Li had been in the palace for so many years, and it would never be possible to violate the palace rules!

Gardenia patted Xiaoxia's hand and signaled her to be quiet, and then said to the palace maid: "You go and inform Jia Zhaoyi immediately now, and ask Jia Zhaoyi to come over to administer justice." ”

Jia Zhaoyi and Concubine Xiao Chen are in charge of the harem together, let Jia Zhaoyi speak, and Concubine Xiao Chen should also have some scruples. E-book house

Gardenia didn't believe that she could stop if she went to this little concubine.

After listening to the command, the palace maid nodded respectfully, turned around and went out.

Outside the palace, in an inn not far from the capital.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your dish is here!"

The shopkeeper said, serving food to the guards and the two concubines.

Although these dishes are not outstanding compared to those of the palace, they have a unique taste.

Zhiqiu grabbed a chopstick by herself and was about to put it in her mouth to taste it, but on the side, Tie Niu came to her side at some point and stopped: "Don't eat it, there is something in it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Zhiqiu, who was about to take out a silver needle to test the poison, but Chen Yetan picked up a plate of vegetables in front of her and sniffed it, then put down the plate and judged: "Don't worry, this is just a little laxative, at most, people can't walk, and they have to rest for three or five days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the voice was neither loud nor small, but it just made everyone hear it clearly.

The other guards who were about to eat immediately put down the chopsticks in their hands alertly, and surrounded Shang Kelan and Concubine Jia one after another, protecting them firmly.

The head of the guard was even more angry and slapped the table, and said coldly to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you get out of here for me, and taste your dish!" ”

On the side, Concubine Jia had been paying attention to the movement of Shang Kelan's table, but she didn't expect the people around Shang Kelan to see that there was something wrong with the dish at a glance, and she couldn't help frowning.

Just then, Xinrui returned from the back kitchen.

After Zhao Kehan asked her to sit down at the table, he asked quietly in a low voice: "How can it be so easy for people to find out if you have something to do in the meal?" ”

Xinrui smiled bitterly and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid just arrived in the back kitchen, and found that the back kitchen was heavily guarded, and there was no way to do it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said to her: "You mean, the things in this meal are not your hands and feet?" ”

Hearing this, Xin Rui quietly looked left and right, and after seeing that no one noticed them, she quietly approached Zhao Kehan and said in Zhao Kehan's ear: "The slave maid saw it just now, it was the people in their inn who gave the medicine themselves, and the slave maid also heard the shopkeeper say, we are their God of Wealth, and they want to keep us for a while!" ”

Fortunately, Zhao Kehan had foresight, and he didn't move a bite after the dish was served.

It's just that some of the guards had already eaten two bites just now, and now their stomachs hurt, and they ran to the toilet after getting the approval of the head of the guards.

At this time, the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and walked out with a smile and said: "This master, there is something to say, what is in this dish, you make it clear to the little one, if it is just a misunderstanding, then don't blame the little one for going to the government and accusing you of slander!" ”

Tie Niu, who has always been silent, stood beside Shang Kelan, and at this moment, listening to the words of the shopkeeper, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "This boss wants the wicked to sue first, presumably there must be someone in the government." ”

Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart moved slightly: This iron bull seems to be a rough man, but in fact, he observes things meticulously, and before he checked it when he first entered, he found a problem, judging from his body shape and temperament, presumably his martial arts are not low, where did the eldest brother know such a character?

Shang Kelan couldn't help but feel curious......
