When Yinglian heard this, she turned her gaze back to Huai Sleeve's face again, her pale lips trembled slightly, her emotions were slightly excited, she couldn't speak for a while, she handed the teacup to Jian Yue, and supported her body with her arms to get up, as if she wanted to kowtow to Huai Sleeve. He pushed her back to the bed. said solemnly: "I can knock my head at any time, and now I will obediently cultivate my body, so as not to waste so much effort to save you." "

Yinglian listened, but couldn't help tears rolling down one by one, and her thin shoulders kept shaking because of excitement and crying, like autumn leaves in the cool breeze, which was pitiful.

Seeing this, Huai Sleeve took the tea cup from Jian Yue's hand and slowly handed it to Yinglian, and said softly: "Take a sip of hot tea." "

Yinglian took the teacup with trembling hands, leaned against her lips and took a sip, thinking that she had been in a coma for a long time, and her body was already short of water, so she drank a whole cup of tea soup.

Jian Yue took the empty teacup, and ordered again: "She must be hungry for such a long time, you go to the small kitchen to get some food." "

Jian Yue went out in response, and after a while, she brought back a bowl of hot white fungus candied date sweet soup and another small plate of osmanthus soft cake. Huai Sleeve smiled and praised: "It's exactly what you want, eat it while it's hot." "

The cup of hot tea just now awakened the already numb consciousness in the body, and at this moment Yinglian did feel hungry, and took the big spoon of white fungus soup in Jian Yue's hand and swallowed it.

After eating a bowl of white fungus soup, Yinglian felt her body warm up, and her face was bloody. Huai Sleeve saw that she could eat and knew that it was fine, so he put his mind at ease and asked: "I heard Jian Yue say, you are Concubine Yu's tea maid, how can you ......?"

Yinglian's face only then eased some blood, and when she heard Huai Sleeve ask, she didn't realize that her eyes dimmed again. You sighed: "Although the girl saved my body, she couldn't save my life. "

Huai Sleeve was surprised and asked, "Who wants to take your life, and why?" "

In front of the life-saving benefactor, Yinglian didn't need to hide it, so she told the reason for the accident.

It turns out that this Yinglian has been a tea maid by the side of Concubine Yu for several years, originally she was also a delicate woman, since she served tea wholeheartedly, she devoted herself to serving tea, and she got a few books related to tea skills to read on weekdays, and she studied the tea ceremony a little bit after a long time.

One day, Kangxi drove to the palace of Concubine Yu, Yinglian served tea as usual, it happened that Kangxi brought a set of new tribute Ruyao tea sets from foreign ministers, and asked Yinglian if she would be able to perform tea, Yinglian will dedicate what she has learned in front of Kangxi, Kangxi saw Yinglian demonstrate the tea art and was greatly appreciated, and immediately appreciated a string of coral bracelets from Yinglian, and said that it would be transferred to the Qianqing Palace to serve tea in the future.

When Yinglian said this, her tears couldn't help but roll down. Huai Sleeve asked: "Isn't this a happy event?" "

Yinglian said in a trembling voice: "I thought that the days were over, but who thinks that the old saying is good: where misfortune and blessing are relied upon, blessing and misfortune are lurking." As soon as the front foot of the Long Live Lord left that day, Concubine Yu called me over, saying that I was a fox to confuse the lord and deliberately seduce the emperor. So he asked the eunuch to tie me up......" Yinglian couldn't cry at this time.

When Huai Sleeve heard this, the liver fire suddenly surged, and he slapped the bed rail with his palm and stood up, and said sharply: "This is the Forbidden Imperial City, she dares to be so careless about human life, and she can't do it without the king's law!" "

Huai Sleeve was originally good at kung fu, and when the bed rail was slammed like this, Jian Yue and Yinglian were stunned. The sleeves are still upside down, and a pair of apricot round eyes say coldly: "I don't believe in this evil, you are the person the emperor wants, even if she is a concubine of the saint, it is difficult to become a concubine, it is difficult to become a martyr, and the emperor has also given her the privilege of resisting the decree and disrespecting!" "

When Jian Yue heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her arm, sat on the bed, and whispered: "My little ancestor, you can be quiet, if it is heard and passed into the ears of Concubine Yu, I am afraid that even we will cause trouble." "

Huai Sleeve was angry, and when he was still about to speak, Yinglian spoke.

"The girl's good Yinglian has written it down, but unless I die in this palace, if I live for a day, I will be a person in Concubine Yu's palace, her methods must have been heard of by the girl, I have to go back sooner or later, it is still a death if I go back, it is better to ......" Yinglian said, her voice trembling again.

"No! Since I have saved you, there is no reason to watch you die again. Huai Sleeve stopped Yinglian's words.

"Girl, I have an idea, I wonder if I can try it." Jian Yue said. Huai Sleeve glanced at her and motioned for her to continue. Jian Yue continued: "Right now, Concubine Yu Niangniang is in power, we can't compete with it, it's better to hide Yinglian first, there has been no movement in the palace these days, it is estimated that Concubine Yuniang also thinks that she is dead, if she gets the opportunity to leave the palace in the future, take the opportunity to take Yinglian out, so that she may end up with a good fate." "

Huai Sleeve thought for a moment and nodded: "This method is not bad, the current plan is to find a place for Yinglian first." "

Yinglian sighed: "This Forbidden City is heavily guarded, and there are many guards in various palaces, where can you hide?" "

Jian Yue's eyes flashed and said: "I know a place, but I have to wronged Yinglian." Huai Sleeve was not familiar with the palace, and he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he hurriedly asked, "You talk about it first." "

"Walk along the east side of Dianyong Lane all the way inside, go to the end and then turn right is the Imperial Garden, through the Imperial Garden there is a back door in the southeast corner, there is a long corridor on the side of the back door, there is a separate courtyard at the end, there are some old palace maids who are old and have not been raised by the emperor when they were young, there are few people in that place, and no one will suspect that there is there."

"But isn't that place guarded?" Huai Sleeve asked.

Jian Yue said with a smile: "There is only one old eunuch guarding it, who is responsible for delivering the daily meals, and there is no one else." This old eunuch is also a distant cousin of mine, because of the poverty of the family when he was young, he entered the palace, and now he is older, he can't serve in front, so he went there, I visited him after entering the palace, and I often made some clothes to change at four o'clock to send him to help him, my cousin is warm and kind, and he will not go wrong! "

Huai Sleeve immediately stretched his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I would rather have more silver, so that I can place Yinglian here." "

Jian Yue smiled: "I don't bother the girl about this, I just need to say it." I'll go tomorrow. "

Ying Lian just listened to the two of them discussing how to settle themselves, so she got out of bed silently, bypassed Jian Yuelai in front of her sleeves, and knelt on her knees.
