Cuizhi mysteriously dug a handful of soil, wrapped it in a coarse cloth handkerchief, and carefully hid it in the sleeve. I slapped the ash on my hand again, and then I breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps coming into the garden, and in a hurry, she hurriedly folded a white chrysanthemum and looked at it carefully.

"Who's there?" The woman's voice was clear and gentle, and she knew it was Kang Guiren as soon as she heard it. "Emerald Branch?" Kang Guiren saw the woman's face clearly by the moonlight. "At this time, why don't you serve your sister well, what are you doing in this back garden?"

"Blessed are the nobles." Cuizhi's face was filled with a flattering smile, and the wrinkles at the end of her eyes became a little more obvious: "Today, isn't the noble lady angry at Concubine Ru's mother." At this time, I felt empty in my stomach, so I asked the slave to fold a white chrysanthemum back. The sky was dark, and the slaves and maids looked around, and it seemed that this one was the best. ”

Kang Guiren stared at the chrysanthemum in Cuizhi's hand, his eyes sank, and when he raised his face, he was gentle and dignified and smiled, shallow and picturesque, beautiful. "Floocculent is the most picky, and always likes to choose the most beautiful flowers to eat. She doesn't love the slightest flaw. Show me! ”

Cuizhi held up the chrysanthemum with both hands and handed it to Kang Guiren: "Your noble, please take a look." ”

"My sister just likes to play a little character, before entering the palace, after entering the palace, instead of restraining herself, she became more and more wanton." Kang Guiren stroked the flowers in the palm of his hand, gently plucked a chrysanthemum, put it in front of his nose and sniffed: "No way, it's all spoiled for me." ”

The stubble cuizhi didn't dare to take it at will, only lowered his head and smiled.

Kang Guiren gently rested the chrysanthemum petal in Cuizhi's palm, and said slowly: "The reason why Fujin asked you to serve my two sisters is because you value your ability. When you are smart, you are smart, and when you are confused, you are confused. Cuiping and Cuizhu are still young girls in the end, and it is common for the relationship to be unclear.

But if even you can't tell who should be the master, then you have lived in vain for decades. After saying these harsh words, Kang Guiren gently put the chrysanthemum on Cuizhi's hand: "I look good, I should like it, you can give it to her!" ”

"Rest assured, who is the master and the old slave can see it clearly, and they will not dare to speak more." Cuizhi suppressed the cold sweat and didn't let it come out, but he couldn't stop the cold that the wind blew. "It's cold, it's windy now, let the slave send the nobleman back to rest." Beware of catching a cold. ”

Kang Guiren turned his head around, fixed his eyes on Cuizhi's flattering face, and didn't feel that he was resisting in his heart, and said coldly: "It's enough for me to have Cuiping and Cuizhu by my side." You'd better go and serve the Floc. If there is no one around to watch, something may happen after a while. Remember, the chrysanthemum was washed with water and then sent. ”

"Yes, nobleman." Cuizhi hurriedly sent Kang Guiren away, and then wiped the cold sweat that slowly appeared on his forehead with his sleeve. The heart said, what's the use of washing, eighty percent of the medicine is mixed into the water for watering the flowers. No matter how clean it is, it will not be able to give birth if you eat it.

Cuizhi glanced lightly at the sleeve tube that hid the dirt bag, and finally retreated pretending to be ignorant. In fact, she didn't understand it, compared to the ruthlessness of the Kang nobles, the Li nobles were a little more cunning, if only one of the two sisters could become the phoenix among the people, the chances of the Li nobles would be greater.

After making up his mind, Cuizhi followed the corridor and slipped into the side room where the Li Guiren was located, and instructed the little palace maid to wash the chrysanthemums and serve them, but he walked into the Li Guiren's room by himself.

"How?" When the noble Li saw Cui Zhi coming, his heart finally calmed down and became excited again. "Did you get it?"

"Not only did I get it, but I also met Kang Guiren." Cuizhi looked serious and said worriedly: "Slave and maid are afraid, Kang Guiren has already guessed, and you already know the truth." If you really guess it, then your safety is ......"

Li Guiren held a pair of silver scissors in his hand, listened to Cuizhi's words, and took off the lampshade with his hand. The leaping firelight reflected her colorless face, and the tip of the scissors touched the wick of the candle when she heard a "pop". Li Guiren retracted his hand in an instant, and the silver scissors "snapped" and fell to the ground.

Cuizhi bent down and picked it up for the noble woman: "Let's let the slave and maid cut it!" ”

"No, you don't." Li Guiren insisted on cutting it himself. "If you are the slightest bit afraid, you will retreat, how can I fight with her?"

"Are you really going to ......," Tsui Zhi said mid-sentence when she saw a figure swaying outside the door. He handed the scissors to the Li nobleman, and said, "Don't lose your temper, the flower slave has already been folded." Let the little palace maid wash it, this silver scissors are still specially customized for you by the emperor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If it's broken, I'm afraid you should feel distressed again. ”

"Hmph, no one is coming, what do you want this scissors for?" Li Guiren was extremely cooperative, and followed Cuizhi's words. "The people below don't take the noble person in their eyes more and more, just washing a flower, how much effort did it take? I haven't seen anyone come for so long. ”

When the words fell, Li Guiren slapped the scissors on a few fiercely, this shock didn't matter, the candle without a lampshade shook, and the wax oil splashed a drop, which was falling on Li Guiren's hand.

"Huh!" Li Guiren exclaimed: "Even this candle has to be against this nobleman!" Cuizhi, you throw it out for me, throw it out. ”

The shadow outside the door flickered and disappeared. Cuizhi saw it so brightly, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Let's go, nobleman!" ”

When Li Guiren closed his eyes, tears had already spread to his cheeks, and he lowered his voice and said: "In the past, when I heard people tell the story of Feiyan Hede, I thought that someone was jealous of the talent of these two sisters and distorted history. Now it seems that the sinister heart has nothing to do with lack of fate. It's okay if Fujin harms me, I'm Fujin's slave. But even my sister did this to me, which was really chilling.

Sister Cuizhi, I'm so scared, I'm so scared that I will die at the hands of my own sister? ”

"Don't be afraid." Cuizhi gently stroked the back of the noble Li: "To say something offensive, you and Mianmian were both grown up by me." When I bought you back home, I was only eight or nine years old. Over the years, I've watched you grow up...... How can I bear it. ”

After stopping for a while, the little palace maid who sent chrysanthemums knocked on the door outside, and Cuizhi was busy with a sad look and let go of the noble lady in his arms. "Come in."

Li Guiren turned his face away, as if he was angry: "Put it aside and go out." In fact, she didn't want people to see her swollen eyes.

"This chrysanthemum ......" Cuizhi didn't know what to do, if it was poured out, or if it didn't move at all, it would be even worse if it reached the ears of Kang Guiren. In addition, she just said that it was Li Guiren's stomach that felt empty that she asked her to fold flowers. After hesitating for a moment, Cuizhi didn't think about it, and grabbed a number of broken petals and stuffed them into her mouth.

"You're crazy, you know it's poisonous, do you still want to eat it?" Li Guiren was anxious and wanted to stop it, but she had already swallowed it.

"Nobody knows, isn't it?" Cuizhi smiled indifferently: "The slave maid is thirty-five years old. It's no longer the right age to have children. Even if you don't have children in this life, what does it matter. As long as you can make your way out, it's worth it. The most important thing now is to hold back this breath. When you are powerless to resist, you cannot reveal your mind no matter what. ”

It's not that these beautiful nobles don't know, but what if they know, let her use it on her sister's body, she still can't do it well. "I really want to ask in person why she treats me like this."

"No." Cuizhi stopped the Li nobleman: "If you go like this and tear your face, it is difficult to guarantee that the Kang nobleman will not imprison him in the palace." It is said that you will not meet the emperor, and it is difficult to say whether you will have the life to live. It's not that you haven't seen that around us, there are Kang Guiren's eyeliner everywhere......

There are priorities, and the safe way to do it is to be a slave and maid, that is, you must be canonized as a concubine before Kang Guiren. As long as you have the final say, the situation is not the same as it is now. And the only person who can help you become a concubine may be the only concubine. ”

"My sister is still not credible, can I be trusted as a concubine? What's more, how much Fu Jin hates her, how can he forgive me. "Li Guiren's worries are not without reason, although he has entered the palace and become the emperor's concubine. But if there is no strong support from the Qingjun Palace, I am afraid that if I walk along the cliff, a little unsafe, and I will never recover.

"Originally, my sister and I were from humble backgrounds, and you can also see the current situation of An Concubine. That flattering nobleman is no better! If it weren't for the emperor's willingness to look at King Qingjun's face, and Fujin sent things to the palace every once in a while, I'm afraid ...... "Looking ahead and backward like this, it seems that the noble people are a little muddy."

Cuizhi was not in a hurry, just listened to her quietly, and gently patted the back of her hand when she finished speaking. "Your worries and slaves all understand, it's still the same sentence, you can become a concubine, he will become a concubine one day, what if you don't have a mother's family.

Don't forget, our emperor's biological mother was just a little girl next to the queen in the past. Even so, she has not received the emperor's favor for many years. In the harem, the only thing to worry about is whether the emperor will have a place for you in his heart. ”

It seems that he can't understand it for a while, and Li Guiren only finds it difficult to accept competing for favor with his sister. "Let's wait until you hand over the soil to a credible person to test."

"It's fine." Cuizhi nodded, and stroked the shoulders of the noble people with pity: "It's not too early, you go to bed early." These days, the slave maid has to think of bringing some fresh and clean flowers for you to enjoy. ”

Li Guiren was just thinking, if it had already hurt the roots, it might make no difference whether to eat or not.
