Deng Xin saw that she didn't react, but seemed to have tried it in vain, so she could only continue: "At that time, Yu Dong told the slave maid to keep her mouth shut, and she must not cause trouble for herself. ”

She sighed as she spoke, and said to herself: "Now the slave and maid are still against her will after all, but it seems that the slave and maid betrayed her, and please don't blame her, both of us are involuntarily, so we have to obey the dispatch of the queen mother." ”

She looked at the small remnants of the leaves under the tree, and said sadly: "In front of all the nobles, we slaves and maids are all small shrimps, and if we are not satisfied, we can be crushed to death at will, if we refuse the order of the Queen Mother at that time, not to mention that we will definitely be punished, even if we change two palace maids to Miaoyin Niangniang Huanyi, they will also obey the orders of the Queen Mother." ”

Hagi Niang didn't care about this matter, she asked again: "What about Yu Dong drugged Miaoyin Niangniang's soup today?" Did you know before? ”

Deng Xin was shocked when she heard this, she couldn't believe her ears, and asked in surprise: "Yu Dong...... Actually drugged in the diet of Miaoyin Niangniang? Are you sure Yu Dong did it? She was so cautious, if she did, how could she not discuss it with me. Girl, the slave didn't believe that Yu Dong did it, and someone else must have wronged her. ”

Hagi Niang said lightly: "Yu Dong's drug was seen by Zhou Jia with her own eyes, and now she has drunk the soup she poisoned and reaped the consequences." ”

Deng Xin's voice trembled slightly, and he said with difficulty, word by word: "What do you mean...... Yu Dong...... Dong'er her, she's dead? ”

Hagi looked at her and nodded earnestly.

At that moment, Deng Xin's face was not an expression of fear, but incomparable remorse and sorrow, sadness can be understood as the death of her companion made her difficult to accept for a while, but, remorse? What is she regretting?

Hagi Niang thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of an answer.

Zhou Jia asked for her in a soft voice: "Sister Deng Xin, now that Sister Yu Dong is dead, we can only come to ask you about this, I don't know where this poison came from?" Who gave it to you and Sister Yu Dong? ”

Deng Xin seemed to be very discouraged, no longer defended herself, but said very gloomily: "The slave has never heard of this, slave maid, slave maid, slave maid will go to see Dong'er, girl, can the slave and maid retire?" ”

Hagi Niang couldn't bear it, nodded and said, "Go ahead, she's in the kitchen." ”

Zhou Jia saw that Deng Xin really got up and left, and hurriedly said to Haginiang: "Girl, how can you let her go like this, if she is also looking for death, who do you want to ask?" ”

Hagi glanced at her lightly, but didn't say anything.

Zhou Jia immediately came back to his senses and cautiously confessed to her: "The slave maid was anxious for a while, so she trespassed, and asked the girl not to blame the slave maid." ”

Hagi Niang just smiled at her faintly, as if she didn't mind, she walked to the tree where Deng Xin was resting just now, stroked the rough bark, and said faintly: "You say, is what Deng Xin said true?" ”

Zhou Jia immediately replied: "Of course it's not true, this matter must have been conspired by her and Yu Dong." ”

Hagi Niang asked again: "But why did she admit that she secretly passed on the news with the Queen Mother before?" If you want to cheat on the same, why don't you just rely on it? ”

Zhou Jia smiled: "This is where she is smart, if you don't admit anything, you will definitely not believe her words, but tell half the truth, half of the lie, now you are a little skeptical?" ”

Hagi Niang nodded thoughtfully: "I see, now I understand." ”

She smiled at Zhou Jiayan and said, "It's almost noon, you and I will go to accompany Miaoyin Niangniang to dinner." ”

Zhou Jia was flattered and replied happily: "Yes, girl." ”

Miao Yin Xu had already learned what had happened from Gu Wei, and when she saw Hagi Niang and Zhou Jia coming, she smiled approvingly at the two of them, and said gently: "Sister has worked hard, let's eat with me." ”

Hagi Niang did not refuse, but also agreed with a smile, then sat down and let Zhou Jia serve the two of them for dinner.

On weekdays, Hagi Niang never let others wait for Miaoyin, she took care of her personally, but now she brought a little palace maid over, although Miaoyin was a little puzzled in her heart, but it was inconvenient to ask her in front of outsiders, just silent.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

However, when she was only halfway through the meal, Hagi Niang suddenly said to Miaoyin: "Niangniang, can this little palace maid wait properly?" I saw that she was very careful and observant, and I wanted to recommend her to be a personal palace maid for Niangniang. ”

Miaoyin heard that the sound was wrong, it was not timely, nor did it look like Haginiang's usual tone of talking to herself, she knew that it was different, but she was still silent, and only smiled and said: "My sister thinks it's good, naturally she can't be wrong, there is such a caring person to share your worries, so that you don't have to work outside every day, and you have to serve me, a weak and sick person." ”

Because the guards in this palace are all Huan Xuan's henchmen, but the palace maids are not all Miaoyin's henchmen, so Miaoyin's pregnancy is still hidden from everyone, because the Jin Shi robe is already lenient, so she only said that Miaoyin was unwell, and she never casually revealed that she was pregnant.

If it was usual, Hagi Niang would definitely pounce on Miaoyin and laugh, and she would not give up if she had to "serve her frail and sickly patient well", but now she didn't answer Miaoyin's words, and continued to take care of herself: "Yes, now the situation is special, you should also pay attention to your diet, Zhou Jia, you have to serve Niangniang well in the future, pay attention to mentioning Niangniang, you know?" ”

Zhou Jia was a little uneasy in her heart, and when she heard her say this, she hurriedly agreed: "That's right, Niangniang's body is extremely delicate now, those raw and cold, half-cooked foods are absolutely inedible, and all kinds of dishes should pay attention to conflicts, and so on, the slave will naturally pay attention to Niangniang, and please rest assured." ”

Miaoyin felt even more hesitant, but when she saw that Hagi Niang was still smiling and groaning, as if she was confident, she couldn't help it, and nodded indifferently: "You have a heart." ”

Hagi Niang asked with a smile: "I don't understand this, half-cooked things naturally can't be eaten, why can't you eat cold this summer?" Isn't that going to heat people to death? ”

Zhou Jia frowned when she heard this, thinking, after all, she was a person outside the palace and didn't understand this taboo, she endured the impatience in her heart, and replied respectfully: "Back to the girl's words, when a woman is pregnant, the essence and blood gather in Chong Ren to raise the fetus, so at this time, most of the yin blood is deficient, and the yang qi is hyperactive. ”
