Zhan Qing glanced down at Shuang'er, who seemed to be particularly aggrieved in his arms, and tried not to let himself frown, so he maintained this position for a while.

Shuang'er seemed to find that no matter what, the emperor was not angry with her, and began to become bold, raised her head homeopathically, and slowly approached the emperor's face, wanting to kiss it directly, so that the rest of the matter could go naturally...

Zhan Qing easily discovered her intentions, which he couldn't continue to play, and suddenly pushed Frost away.

"There are a few ministers coming in a while, you go back first, and soon I will let Yan Kang go to you to give an order."

Although Shuang'er felt a little pity, she couldn't rush this kind of thing, not to mention that the emperor also explained to her that when a minister was coming, she had to appear sensible.

"Then the concubine will retire first, and when Your Majesty is done, the concubine will come to Your Majesty..."

She stood up from the emperor's arms with a shy face, automatically changed her title, and then reluctantly left the imperial study.

But as soon as she left with her front foot, the expression on her face immediately changed, which made people feel a little chilled.

She did not go back to her residence, but went to the residence of Gui'er, a palace maid who was sprinkled not far from Yong'an Palace, this palace maid was a descendant of their family before entering the palace, and later came in with her, and she was one of the few people in the palace who could be trusted and used.

"Sister Shuang'er, haven't you been serving Your Majesty recently, why do you have time to come to me, if you want to see me, just let people know, you don't have to go out of your way."

Gui'er hurriedly put down the work in her hand and went to Yingshuang'er.

"Gui'er, can I trust you now, if you don't want to be a palace maid here all the time, now there is an opportunity, let you do it, I can transfer you to me, when my grade is upgraded, your identity will naturally rise, how about it?"

Even if she didn't have to tempt her like this, Gui'er still didn't dare to disobey Shuang'er's words, although she didn't know what she let herself do, she still nodded honestly.

Frost took out the poison powder that she had prepared from her pocket and handed it to Gui'er, but she didn't tell her what it was.

"You give this to a little eunuch with a raw face, let him put it in when he makes pastries, remember not to eat it yourself when you make it, otherwise I can't control any consequences, and after you finish it, you must send it to the poor nobles in the cold palace as soon as possible, do you understand?"

Gui'er nodded a little incomprehensibly, but probably knew that this pack of medicinal powder was definitely not a good thing.

The early stage has been very smooth, but when it was time to send the pastries to the cold palace, she always felt a little weak-hearted, and she lingered at the door for a while and did not dare to enter, especially after seeing the Queen Mother from a distance, she subconsciously ran away and was directly stopped by the Queen Mother's people.

"You're here to deliver pastries, how come I don't know when the treatment of this cold palace is so good, and if it's just to deliver pastries, what do you see me running? Or is there some secret in this pastry! ”

She said that she had to pick up a piece and stuff it into Gui'er's mouth, which scared Gui'er so much that she kowtowed to the ground, and soon blood came out of her brain.

"The Queen Mother, this is what Miss Shuang'er asked the slave to send, the slave just always feels that something is wrong, so he doesn't dare to go in, the slave really didn't do anything, the mother must be aware of it, and please let the slave live!"

The Queen Mother was upset by her, not to mention that it was not appropriate to make a big deal at the moment, so she casually let go of Shuang'er and just kept the pastries.

It was too troublesome for people to check if there were any ingredients in it, and the queen mother directly asked the palace maid to pinch a little and throw it into the fish pond, and sure enough, within a while, all the fish that had eaten the pastry turned their bellies, and it was difficult for people to guess that it was poison.

"The people in the real palace are really getting more and more rampant, they dare to do such a thing in the open, it just so happens that the mourning family hasn't seen the emperor for many days, and it's time to go!"

The Queen Mother directly asked people to take the pastries to the emperor, and now Zhan Qing was still dealing with things in the imperial study, so he saw a plate of pastries in front of him, and looked up to see that it was the Queen Mother.

"How did the Queen Mother think of making pastries for me to eat..."

Although Zhan Qing has been troubled by these messy things recently, when facing the Queen Mother, he still tries to make himself appear filial and reluctantly smiles at her.

"The emperor is really raising the mourning family, this is made by your newly acquired palace maid Shuang'er, and she plans to give your poor nobles in the cold palace to eat, if I don't stop her, I'm afraid she will turn her belly like the fish in the pond outside you at this moment!"

"What!"

Zhan Qing's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't help but beat his heart faster with some fear, he originally wanted to stabilize Shuang'er, but he didn't expect her to dare to do such a thing.

"I think she's really tired and crooked."

"It's still unclear whether Shuang'er is alive and crooked, but one thing is for sure, if you keep dragging Xu Xiangjin's matter and don't solve it, and do a useless investigation here, this will give more people a chance to harm Xu Xiangjin, maybe before you wait for her, she will already return to the west!"

Zhan Qing gritted his teeth tightly and didn't let go, what the Queen Mother said he didn't know, but there was no way to do it at all, and he didn't want to hurt Xu Xiangjin, so he could only keep consuming it, what could he do? He really didn't want her to leave.

"Queen Mother, I just want to like someone purely, why do these people want to obstruct me, why don't they want me to have a good time?"

Seeing the emperor's growing anger, the Queen Mother helplessly patted him on the shoulder to ease his anger.

"Being in a high position, it is clear that things will be forced to do so, and the only way at the moment is for you to demote Xu Xiangjin to a concubine first, so that some people in the harem can be less jealous and hateful, and then beat her into the cold palace, temporarily trapped, and then think about the things in the future."

Zhan Qing's mind was now extremely chaotic, and he even felt that as long as he could protect Xu Xiangjin, he would not hesitate to do anything, so after feeling that the Queen Mother's method was feasible, he accepted it without hesitation.

But after all, Xu Xiangjin was trapped in the cold palace, and it was inconvenient for Zhan Qing to see her, so naturally he didn't consult her before making this decision, so when Xu Xiangjin received this will, his first reaction was that Zhan Qing didn't trust her at all, so he punished her like this, and under his sadness, he couldn't even pick up the holy decree.

"Niangniang, maybe Your Majesty has something unspeakable, don't be sad, Your Majesty loves Niangniang so much, and will never let Niangniang stay in this place for the rest of her life."

Xingxiang waited until the messenger left, and hurriedly ran over to help Xu Xiangjin up from the ground, trying her best to comfort her.

"Xingxiang, you don't have to call me a mother, and you don't have to follow me all the time, you go to your majesty to change the master, anyway, I really don't have any interest."

Xu Xiangjin smiled a little self-deprecatingly, looking at the holy decree in his hand, he always felt that his existence was a sarcasm.

"Niangniang, Xingxiang is Niangniang's person, now and in the future, Xingxiang is so stupid, if you change places, you will definitely not be able to live, it is better to follow Niangniang all the time, even in this cold palace, as long as we can rely on each other, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed."

"Hey, she's really a silly girl, so be it! But don't be busy in the future, there's really no need for me to do it. ”

Xu Xiangjin was a little unable to lift his spirits now, threw the holy decree aside, didn't even change his clothes, and lay directly on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

She had been depressed in the cold palace for many days, and even thought that if no one came to her trouble again, maybe she would have stayed in the cold palace until she left this mission.

But after all, she is here to do a task, how can it be so easy to make her bland, no, not long after Xingxiang went out to run errands, a fire suddenly broke out in the cold palace, Xu Xiangjin was asleep at that time, she was choked by the smoke to wake up, and when she woke up, she found that she had been surrounded by fire.

"Help, is there anyone? Apricot, have you been outside? Get someone to help. ”

She was so frightened that she rolled to the side of the bed, desperately shouting for help, but because the cold palace was too remote, no one seemed to find out what was going on here for a while, fortunately, Xingxiang put the washing water in the room in the morning and didn't take it away, Xu Xiangjin could only splash all the water on herself, cover the quilt and break out.

In fact, because of overthinking, she didn't eat much, and her body was already a little weak, coupled with the toss just now, which made her even more uncomfortable, and she knelt on the ground unsupportively.

"Why is it another fire, it burned me to death in the real world, this time I just can't let you get your wish, I Xu Xiangjin will definitely not die so aggrieved again!"

Xu Xiangjin gritted her teeth and forced herself to wake up, wanting to go out and find someone to help, but sometimes once people are unlucky, they are really unguardable, as soon as she stood up straight, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in her legs, and she knelt down unexpectedly, and then the surging pain swept over her.

But it shouldn't be, she has obviously already taken the antidote, and she has only been back for a few days, how could she have an attack so quickly, unless she accidentally got into something else, which stimulated her body from the original Gu poison, so she was caught off guard so suddenly.

She was trembling in pain, but she also clearly knew that no one was here at the moment, as long as she was unconscious, she was likely to never open her eyes again, and she couldn't fight to fall asleep by herself, until she vaguely saw Xingxiang running towards her in a hurry, and then she was relieved to fall into darkness completely.

It's just that during this period of pain, she has been desperately thinking that she must not be able to go on like this again.
