() Qu Ruizhi was not angry at Yin Xiaoxi's ignorance, smiled gently, and sat down next to the emperor.

"Why did you come to see me so early?" The emperor asked Qu Ruizhi while having breakfast.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't been to the court for several days, and the concubines are really worried, so they came to visit."

"Ah, I don't have anything to do, it's just that my body is very tired, just rest for a few days, my concubine is worried, and I have a heart."

"Caring about the emperor is a matter for the concubines."

Yin Xiaoxi looked at the two of them who were extremely hypocritical in everything you said and I said, sneered coldly in his heart, and put a large chopstick dish into the emperor's bowl, "Eat more." ”

Yin Xiaoxi means this, you eat more and talk less.

The emperor looked at Yin Xiaoxi and smiled, "Thank you Concubine Ai for your concern." ”

Yin Xiaoxi glanced at him, he originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Qu Ruizhi was there, it was not easy to be in front of him, so he had to endure it, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Several people were silent for a while, and suddenly Qu Ruizhi spoke, "By the way, the emperor, the concubine saw that Sister Liu had ground soft-shelled turtle powder a few days ago, why don't the concubines go and ask for some, come to make soup for the emperor, it will definitely be able to make up for it and help the emperor strengthen his body." ”

Soft-shelled turtle meal ......

When Yin Xiaoxi heard these three words, the chopsticks instantly slipped from his hand, and the porridge in his hand was also sprinkled on the table.

The emperor and Qu Ruizhi looked at her one after another.

The emperor asked with concern, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with it? ”

Father-in-law Mo hurriedly stepped forward to clean up for Yin Xiaoxi.

Yin Xiaoxi got up, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't hold it steady for a while." ”

After speaking, he looked at Father-in-law Mo and said apologetically, "There is Father-in-law Laomo, look at me, I was so careless, I can sprinkle a bowl of porridge." ”

Gonggong Mo hurriedly hunched his waist and said with a smile, "Where, Concubine Jing is serious, serving the master is the slave's duty, not to mention labor, the slave ordered someone to serve another bowl to the mother." ”

Yin Xiaoxi shook his hand, "No, I'm almost done." ”

The emperor also ate almost enough, so he pulled Yin Xiaoxi to sit down next to him, and the little eunuch hurriedly brought three cups of ginseng tea.

Yin Xiaoxi was holding the ginseng tea, and the emperor looked at it thoughtfully, but Qu Ruizhi was on the side, and it was not easy to ask, so she only kept pulling her left hand tightly in the palm of her hand.

Suddenly, he proposed, "The weather is good today, why don't the two concubines accompany me to the Imperial Garden?" ”

Qu Ruizhi smiled and blessed, she didn't know about the emperor's injury, she just accompanied the emperor out to bask in the sun, and she was busy.

But Yin Xiaoxi knew about the injury in the emperor's abdomen, although it looked much better than before, but the injury was still there, and he looked at the emperor with a little worry, and before he could speak, the emperor immediately understood the concern and worry in his eyes.

winked at her, and squeezed Yin Xiaoxi's hand slightly to reassure her.

Yin Xiaoxi had no choice but to smile and nodded, "Okay, that concubine will help the emperor." ”

The emperor raised his hand and patted the back of Yin Xiaoxi's arm lightly, and smiled with relief.

When he looked at Yin Xiaoxi, his face was always a doting smile, not as polite and unfamiliar as when he was with Qu Ruizhi or other concubines.

Qu Ruizhi saw all this in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

She knows the weight of Yin Xiaoxi in the emperor's heart, but it is not good to find a chance to mention the soft-shelled turtle powder.

However, looking at Yin Xiaoxi's reaction, he thought that the goal had been achieved, so he only accompanied the emperor with peace of mind and no longer mentioned the matter of soft-shelled turtle meal.

The two accompanied the emperor in the garden for a long time before Gonggong Mo helped the emperor back to the Summer Palace, saying that there was something to deal with, but in fact, Imperial Doctor Ye had found an antidote to detoxify the emperor.

Yin Xiaoxi understood, so he pulled Qu Ruizhi to say goodbye to the emperor.

On the way back to the palace, Yin Xiaoxi and Qu Ruizhi walked side by side, neither of them brought a maid or eunuch by their side.

Yin Xiaoxi accompanied the emperor the night before and didn't bring anyone out, and when he looked at Qu Ruizhi again, he was alone.

"What about the palace maid next to you on weekdays, why don't you see her."

Qu Ruizhi smiled, "Niangniang is talking about Qiu Shan, she went to do her business." ”

Yin Xiaoxi didn't ask any more, she was not curious, and she knew that Qu Ruizhi would not tell the truth, so she didn't ask any more.

After walking like this for a long time, seeing that she was about to arrive at Wangchun Pavilion, Qu Ruizhi suddenly stopped, "Niangniang." ”

Yin Xiaoxi stopped, looked back at Qu Ruizhi, and asked indifferently, "What?" ”

"Isn't Niangniang curious about soft-shelled turtle meal?" Qu Ruizhi took a step forward, and the gentle smile that hung on her face every day was gone.

"Should I be curious?" Yin Xiaoxi smiled contemptuously.

Qu Ruizhi took another step forward, and walked to Yin Xiaoxi, lowering her voice with a dangerous smile, "I said, I have never been Niangniang's enemy. ”

"Huh, so what?"

"The soft-shelled turtle meal was found by Qiu Shan sneaking into Concubine Liu's dormitory, and it was hidden in a jar, looking at the inner wall of the jar, it should have been full at first, but when Qiu Shan found it, there was only half a jar left. If Niangniang didn't guess, who did Liu Concubine use and what did she use it for? ”

"If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will report you to Concubine Liu?"

Qu Ruizhi leaned down, leaned into Yin Xiaoxi's ear and said, "I have said it a long time ago, I have never been my mother's enemy." ”

After that, he turned back to his body and continued, "Besides, we have a common enemy, and it is impossible for Niangniang to denounce me to Concubine Liu. ”

"Oh, how come I don't know when we all started to have a common enemy?"

Qu Ruizhi smiled shallowly, "What is the surname of our enemy, Liu, or what, Niangniang is actually like a mirror in her heart, so why ask knowingly." ”

Yin Xiaoxi no longer pretended, since Qu Ruizhi said it so clearly, there was no point in denying it, and she was so open-minded that she told her about the soft-shelled turtle powder, and she also knew that she was investigating the cause of Rong'er's death and the real murderer behind the scenes.

"There's one thing I don't quite understand, where did Concubine Liu offend you?"

Qu Ruizhi took another step forward and stood back to back with Yin Xiaoxi, "This doesn't have to worry about Niangniang, that's my sister's own business, and my sister will handle it herself." My sister only needs to know that Concubine Liu will eventually pay the price she deserves. ”

After speaking, Qu Ruizhi went in the direction of Fangfei Palace.

Yin Xiaoxi turned around and looked at the back of Qu Ruizhi leaving, it turned out that she went to ask for a decree to move to Fangfei Hall because she deliberately approached Liu Yunxi and wanted to investigate secretly.

Lin Er said before that Concubine Xian was framed by Concubine Liu, and the hawthorn pill was sent by Concubine Liu, but what really killed Rong'er was actually soft-shelled turtle powder.

If even the soft-shelled turtle meal was made by Concubine Liu......

Yin Xiaoxi didn't dare to think about it.

Where did Rong'er offend Concubine Liu and be so ruthless.

Could it be that Lin Er was afraid of Liu Xiang, so he refused to tell her name?
