Yingxue was stunned by Huai Sleeve's sudden question, and when she reacted, she couldn't help laughing.

"Since the master feels sorry for the two of them, he simply let them out, so that they don't have to worry about their hearts over there, and the master is carrying their hearts here, and both ends are not at ease."

When Yingxue was laughing, she put the tea cup in her hand in front of Huai Sleeve, and secretly carefully observed Huai Sleeve's expression.

The sleeves that were seen out of his mind were a little annoyed, and he ignored Yingxue with his eyes down, and only took a small sip of tea.

Ying Xue looked at her sleeves like this, and felt funny in her heart. She couldn't know that Huai Sleeve had never blamed the palace people like this on weekdays, and there must be other reasons for her sudden behavior today.

After taking a few sips of tea, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but ask: "Today I severely punish Yuehe, what do you think?"

Ying Xue listened to Huai Sleeve and asked, and thought for a while: "The slave guessed that the master must have heard that Yuehe was depressed a few days ago, so he speculated like this. ”

Yingxue's words were out of surprise with her sleeves, and she frowned and asked, "How do you say that Yuehe is depressed?"

At this time, Lian Qiu walked in from the outside, dragging a plate of red grapes that were as bright as agate in his hand, and gently placed them on the table in his hand, and leaned on the brocade couch with his sleeves at this time, and began to remove the ornaments on the bun for him.

Huai Sleeve still listened attentively to Yingxue about Yuehe.

"A few days ago, the master went out of the palace with the long-lived lord, and the palace maid died again, this time even the ancestors were alarmed, and ordered the Zhongcui palace to splash quicklime and boil vinegar to detoxify, and in those days, Yuehe's spirit was particularly bad."

Yingxue's words fell, and Lian Qiu also answered: "Yes, after dinner in those days, I took a cool nap in the porch where I had nothing to do, and I also saw Yuehe fold a small white paper boat and put it in the lotus pond, looking at the white boat and secretly wiping my tears."

After hearing these words, Huai Sleeve frowned deeper, thought for a moment, and asked: "You have a good relationship with the moon and lotus on weekdays, but what have you heard her say?"

Lian Qiu nodded: "The slave maid heard her say it, but she only said one sentence, I didn't know what it meant at the time, and when I asked again, she excused herself and walked away." ”

"What did she say?" asked Huai Sleeve anxiously.

"She said, there are ghosts in Zhongcui Palace, don't go near that place"

When the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew the windows in the pavilion and slammed them, and the three of them were startled.

"Don't say it, it's weird and scary to say it at night," Yingxue ran into the room to close the window as she spoke.

Juanqiu made up the bed and waited for his sleeves to go to bed.

In the past, before going to bed, Qinglian always told her those interesting things when she was a child, as well as the customs and customs of her hometown in Jiangnan, weddings and funerals, Yuehe would occasionally pick some childhood troubles between the two of them and laugh, and she listened to it with relish, and always forgot the time.

Now, Qingmei and Yuehe are locked in the firewood room in the back garden, and Huai Sleeve only feels that it is much colder around him, so he ordered Yingxue and Lian Qiu to move the bamboo bed, which is set up on the edge of the brocade couch with Huai Sleeve.

The three of them lit two candles covered with sarongs, and lay on the bed and talked.

"Master, slave and maid to tell the truth, I really don't think that the rumors in the front formation were spread by Yuehe." Juanqiu was the first to say.

Yingxue looked at Huai Sleeve with a puzzled face and said, "Master, I'll tell you the truth, I don't think you actually resent Yuehe in your heart." ”

Hearing Yingxue say this, Huai Sleeve originally leaned lazily on the edge of the bed, immediately sat up, wiped his cheeks and asked in surprise: "Am I so obvious?"

Yingxue and Zhuoqiu were stunned at first by Huai Sleeve's reaction, and then laughed at the same time.

"Master, this is clearly not self-confessing," Ying Xue said with a smile covering her stomach.

Huai Sleeve glared at the two girls with disgust, and whispered: "Just you two ghosts and elves, you can see through anything"

After being angry and laughing, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Is it really fake that I'm like that today, so easy to see through?"

"It's not, the master really looks like he's angry during the day." Autumn, this is telling the truth.

Yingxue nodded: "The master did bluff us all during the day."

Huai Sleeve breathed a sigh of relief and sighed lightly: "I didn't plan to hide it from the two of you, as long as I can bluff others."

"But why did the master do this, wouldn't this make the sisters feel wronged in vain," Yingxue was puzzled.

Huai Sleeve pondered for a moment, and said softly: "There are indeed internal ghosts in our Qingzhi Palace, and I did this to let the person who released the wind relax his vigilance, and then show his feet."

After Huai Sleeve said this, the room was quiet for a while, and the three of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

After a while, Yingxue couldn't help but speak first: "To be honest, this kind of thing of the master, except for these girls in our inner hall, even Fuquan doesn't know, not to mention that others, only a few of us can suspect it." ”

Jian Qiu said: "Indeed, the slave and maid have also pondered this matter carefully, and I always feel that among our girls, Snow Goose's recent behavior is the most abnormal."

After Juanqiu said this, Yingxue immediately quietly stabbed Juanqiu with her arm.

Huai Sleeve suddenly opened his mouth: "Actually, I haven't thought about what you two told me, although the snow geese have never been in our palace, and they are full of conditions, but I always blindly protect my shortcomings."

Yingxue and Lianqiu both heard the deep tone of Huai Sleeve and the deep pain in their hearts when they said this.

Jian Qiu couldn't bear it for a while, and persuaded softly: "It's too early for the master to say this, the snow goose is just a little weaker than us, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a real problem."

Huai Sleeve didn't speak, his eyes looked at the yellow sarong quietly, and after a while, he said lightly: "Tomorrow, if you two are free, go to Shang Pharmacy to fetch me two taels of dried poppy flowers." ”

In the early morning of the next day, according to the instructions of the previous day, Huai Sleeve personally cooked water chestnut soup early, and made a few other small snacks with his own hands, brought a few food boxes, and brought them to Xiaozhuang.

Huai Sleeve knew that Xiaozhuang started very early on weekdays, and usually listened to Su Malagu reciting scriptures in the meditation room before the hour.

Just after the hour, the golden silk phoenix with its sleeves stopped in front of the main hall of Cining Palace.

The sleeves were served by Yingxue and Fuquan, and they came out from the insider, and the people of the Ying Palace at the door immediately shouted inward.

Holding his sleeves by Yingxue, he walked straight to the west wing, and walked to the door, still Zhu Qing smiled and picked up the brocade curtain: "Come in, the ancestor is in a very good spirit today, and he was joking with a few of us just now."

Hearing this, Huai Sleeve was slightly relieved in his heart, slightly reorganized his appearance, and stepped into the west wing of Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang didn't know what he was talking to Aunt Su Mala, with a faint smile on his face, seeing Huai Sleeve coming in, the smile on his face gradually converged, seeing Huai Sleeve kneeling in front of him kowtowing to himself to say goodbye, Xiao Zhuang only looked at her coldly.

When the sleeves kowtowed, Xiaozhuang did not let her get up, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Concubine Yu, are you guilty?"
