Fuqing was a little embarrassed, but he also knew what Tuoba Yue's joy was for these days, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, maybe, maybe it's Liang Qihe-"

Tuoba Yue shook his head and said, "It won't be Liang Qi, I sent someone to follow him at that time, and after he left the palace, he left the calendar." ”

Tuoba Yue seemed to know what Fuqing was thinking, so he said seriously: "I have a feeling, she won't leave so easily, she is so cunning-"

Fuqing smiled, thinking in his heart, if this idea can support Tuoba Yue, it would be good to live, wouldn't it?

Early the next morning, Tuoba Yue took people back to the palace quickly.

Xiao Nai was overjoyed when he heard that Tuoba Yue had returned to the palace, and he was busy using the excuse of being tired on the road, so he asked the imperial dining room to eat chicken and bird's nest porridge and personally sent it to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and at this time Wang Lang was in the Palace of Heart Cultivation to report the assassination of Zhao Yancheng.

Xiao Nai was led by Fuqing to the side of the screen, only to hear Wang Lang's voice a little sluggish: "The subordinates have carefully investigated, Zhou Qiang and Yuxue were indeed killed in order to save Lord Zhao, according to Lord Zhao's recollection, the assassin tried to assassinate him, it was the two of them who desperately blocked it, and when Peng Yu and others arrived, the assassin disappeared, and the subordinates have sent someone to the place of the incident to check, except for the traces of the fight, there are no other clues, it can be seen that those assassins are thoughtful." ”

Tuoba Yue looked at Wang Lang fixedly, Wang Lang only felt that fine sweat broke out in the palms of his hands, he hung his head, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates have betrayed His Majesty's trust, and they can't bring the people behind the scenes to justice, and the subordinates are incompetent." ”

Tuoba Yue shook his head and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, this matter will be over, I have other things for you to investigate, this time-you don't want to disappoint me-"

It was obviously a simple word, but now in Wang Lang's ears, it was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, he didn't dare to have the slightest reaction, and hurriedly leaned over to receive the order.

Tuoba Yue handed Wang Lang a brocade box and said, "You will investigate this matter, and if it is done, I will give you and tortoiseshell marriage." ”

Wang Lang pinched the contents and said with some excitement: "The subordinates obey the order-"

Wang Lang got up to say goodbye, Xiao Nai turned out from behind the screen with the tortoiseshell, Wang Lang turned his head and glanced at the tortoiseshell, only to see the tortoiseshell also looking at him, his eyes were full of emotion, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and his steps were much lighter.

Xiao Nai had a decent smile on his face, handed over the bowl of golden bird's nest porridge, and said: "Your Majesty just came back from the Cuishan Palace, and he hurriedly dealt with government affairs, how can the body eat well, the concubine asked the imperial dining room to prepare this porridge, which is light and delicious, and has been warmed with a copper hanger, and it is still warm now, why don't you taste it?" ”

Tuoba Yue glanced at her lightly, and suddenly nodded: "Okay, have you had lunch?" If not, why don't you try it together? ”

Xiao Nai was ecstatic in her heart, and the joy in her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be suppressed at all, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It's the honor of the concubine—"

Fuqing took the dishes, filled the bowls for the two of them, and asked Jinbao to prepare some delicious side dishes, and then he and the tortoiseshell stood aside.

Xiao Nai personally took the silver and gave it to Tuoba Yue, and then said with half grievance and half emotion: "Your Majesty has not sat and eaten with your concubines like this for a long time. ”

Tuoba Yue sighed, scooped a little soft porridge with a silver spoon and tasted it in his mouth, and then said: "Yes, I went to the palace this time and saw a person, she told me something, I feel that for so long, I seem to be wrong-"

Xiao Nai smiled: "Oh? Who did Your Majesty go to see? ”

Tuoba Yue said casually: "The emperor's Lady Miao, I think you may also know - oh, no, she was also the person arranged by Lan Xin to enter the palace, how could you know her?" ”

The silver spoon in Xiao Nai's hand hit the bowl inappropriately, the sound was crisp but abrupt, Tuoba Yue couldn't help but look over and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Nai's face was a little ugly, and she unconsciously put one hand on her injured finger and said, "The concubine is still a little unable to adapt to this false finger, which makes Your Majesty smile." ”

Tuoba Yue stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Nai's hand over, looked at the delicately crafted fake finger, and said in a trance: "It's been so long, and I can't even be familiar with it, could it be because this mechanism is not delicate enough?" Do you want the craftsman to improve it again? ”

Xiao Nai's palms were full of cold sweat, and it was clear that Tuoba Yue's hands were dry and warm, but she felt that the heat was unbearable for her, and she said: "No-no-no-by the way, Your Majesty said that Mrs. Miao said what did Mrs. Miao say to you-can-can you talk to the concubine?" ”

Tuoba Yue slowly let go of Xiao Nai's hand and said casually: "Oh? Concubine An seems to be very interested. ”

Xiao Nai twisted her body unnaturally, and said: "Concubine, concubine is just curious, after all, this special wonder was once arranged by the Lan family to enter the palace, and now that the Lan family has fallen, she came to find Your Majesty, I'm afraid she didn't want to find another way out - the concubine thinks that this wonderful word is not credible——"

Seeing her so nervous, Tuoba Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Could it be that Concubine An knows what this Miao Lady said?" ”

Xiao Nai smiled more and more unnaturally and said: "What kind of joke is Your Majesty, how can the concubine know what Mrs. Miao said to Your Majesty, the concubine is just worried about what this Mrs. Miao has and reminds Your Majesty." ”

Tuoba Yue continued indifferently: "Yes, but she did tell me something I didn't know, isn't Concubine An really curious at all?" ”

The smile on Xiao Nai's face couldn't be hung anymore, she took a deep breath, put down the silver in her hand, and then said: "What does Your Majesty want to say, it's better to say it directly, why bother knocking on the side like this?" ”

Tuoba Yue also smiled on his face, he got up without saying a word and walked towards the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and said slowly: "By the way, you must also agree with Wang Lang and the tortoiseshell matter, since this is the case, I will not discuss it with you, Wang Lang is also a person around me, and the tortoiseshell is not small, from now on, there is no need to serve by your side, Fuqing will choose a clever one from the Internal Affairs Office, and the tortoiseshell will be ready to marry with peace of mind." ”

Xiao Nai's eyes widened, and before she could speak, the long figure at the door had already left.

The tortoiseshell was also stunned, but Fuqing stepped forward, carefully took down the silver and put it in Xiao Nai's hand, and said softly: "Concubine An, what else do you want to eat, the slave asked Jinbao to go to the small kitchen to pass on-"

Xiao Nai just felt a surge in her heart, she pushed Fuqing's hand away, forcibly endured the anger that was about to erupt, and said, "This palace is full, tortoiseshell, let's go-"

The tortoiseshell didn't dare to touch Xiao Nai's moldy head, so she had to respond cautiously and helped Xiao Nai out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Xiao Nai walked all the way, the tassel hairpin on her sideburns was messily entangled, more like her mood at this moment, the tortoiseshell trotted to Xiao Nai's side, who knew that she had only walked a few steps, Xiao Nai didn't check, she stepped on a round pebble under her feet, her body was crooked, and she almost fell, but fortunately, the tortoiseshell was quick and helped Xiao Nai.

Xiao Nai sighed, and the tortoiseshell hurriedly said, "Niangniang-how are you?" But where did it hurt? ”

Xiao Nai was angry, and slapped the tortoiseshell in the face, and scolded angrily: "Did you let Wang Lang beg Your Majesty like this?" Okay, tortoiseshell, you followed Hongu, but I never thought you would report such thoughts. ”

The tortoiseshell knew that Xiao Nai would definitely be angry with herself because of this incident, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, leaned over and said: "Niangniang Mingjian, the slave maid is loyal to you, how can you have such a thought, this matter, the slave maid did not know in advance." ”

Xiao Nai had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, and wanted to fight again, but thinking that the tortoiseshell was now pregnant, and Wang Lang was still pinching her handle, she could only swallow this breath stiffly, she sat down on the stone bench on the side, looked at the tortoiseshell who was accompanying the cautious, and sighed: "Okay, get up, the palace is more angry, good tortoiseshell, come-"

She stretched out her hand and beckoned to the tortoiseshell, the tortoiseshell was a little hesitant, but she still got up slowly, Xiao Nai took the tortoiseshell's hand, and said with a look of pity: "Take a look at this palace, hey, this little face is swollen, if it is seen by Wang Lang, maybe it will be more distressed, okay, this matter is Your Majesty's idea, this palace is angry for a while, and he didn't control his emotions, you won't blame this palace." ”

As she spoke, she pushed a fine gold thread-wrapped red agate bracelet on her wrist onto tortoiseshell's wrist.

Seeing her so angry, the tortoiseshell wanted to withdraw her hand a little stiffly, but Xiao Nai smiled and said: "Look, this bracelet is so festive, it is just right for you, waiting for your wedding day, this palace will buy you a rich dowry." ”

Tortoiseshell didn't know what Xiao Nai meant by this, and just wanted to shirk it, he heard Xiao Nai say word by word: "Tortoiseshell, when you leave the palace, shouldn't you disown the master of the palace?" ”

The tortoiseshell smiled and said: "What is this thing that Niangniang said, the slave maid has no relatives, so she has been serving by Niangniang's side, where can you not recognize Niangniang?" ”

Xiao Nai sighed and said: "Also, although you have served me for a short time, but this palace really regards you as its own confidant, I heard that you have a long-lost brother, this palace asked your father to help you pay attention, it seems that there is news recently, so let's go, Your Majesty opened your mouth today, I think I will get married soon, you take the time to go out of the palace, meet with your brother, and when you get married, there is also a family member to watch the ceremony, isn't it?" ”

The tortoiseshell only felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards, she cried with joy, and held Xiao Nai's hand and said, "What Niangniang said is true?" Did you really find the slave's brother? ”

The tortoiseshell said with some disgust: "Why, you can't lie to you in this palace, okay, wipe your tears, if you are seen by others, you think that this palace has mistreated the people in the palace." ”
