Ning Yu saw the old princess go back to the room, respectfully called her mother, and then helped the old princess into the inner room, and the people waited at the door with great eyes, not to go in and disturb.

After Ning Yu helped the old princess to sit down, he said, "I heard that the Queen Mother was furious today, but our medicine worked?" ”

The old princess smiled and nodded: "She now fully trusts Zike and Xing'er, and it is not difficult to do some tricks, but in her usual tea, she adds a mandala, the amount is very small, and she can hardly taste it, this medicine does not feel anything at first, and gradually, it will become dependent, if you don't take enough every day, you will be upset, and your blood will surge——"

Ning Yu said in his heart: "Then today is-"

The old princess said: "Zike didn't put that pollen today, since the morning, the Empress Dowager Xi has been a little uneasy, and you instigated the emperor to intercede with Jiang Li'er." ”

Ning Yu smiled disapprovingly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my mother, I mentioned it to Your Majesty, saying that the county lord is always grounded in the palace, and he will be depressed, if he can, I want the county lord to take me to the royal capital." ”

The old princess nodded and said: "It's not an excessive request, Your Majesty just went back to Yikun Palace and said, but now that their mother and son are separated, they want to come to Yikun Palace in the near future." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of smugness.

He Xi returned to Hanyue Tower, Ruyi served her and took off her evening makeup, looking at He Xi with an absent-minded look, Ruyi said worriedly: "Miss, what are you thinking?" ”

He Xi wanted to speak, but he saw Jiang An standing at the door from the bronze mirror, He Xi's heart moved, and he turned to Jiang An and beckoned: "You come here-"

Jiang An stepped forward, knelt down respectfully, and said, "What do you have to say, Miss?" ”

He Xi took out a hosta she brought from the calendar, a rose flower carved from carnelian on the crystal path, perched on a golden butterfly, the wings carved transparently, embedded with light silk, vivid, with the movement, the wings trembled slightly, giving people the illusion of wings about to fly.

He Xi put the golden butterfly hosta into a brocade box, handed it to Jiang An's hand and said, "You have time to go to Qin's mansion tomorrow and give it to Mrs. Qin, and say that this thing is for the thank you gift she gave me when she entered the palace last time." ”

Jiang An looked at the hosta inexplicably, except for looking at it with ingenuity, it was really not golden, especially the carnelian that made the rose, and it was not as valuable as the glass ruby.

He Xi didn't explain anymore, Jiang An nodded hurriedly, and then bowed and withdrew.

Ruyi said puzzledly: "Miss, what is this for?" ”

He Xi took a handkerchief and gently wiped the red lipstick off his lips, and said, "I have some doubts, maybe this Mrs. Qin can be used." ”

Ruyi took a deep breath, since the two of them were locked up in this Xiliang Palace, they were careful and restrained everywhere, but she also knew that He Xi's difficulty was not easy, and she saw how much she had suffered and suffered along the way.

What's more, she didn't go through the most desperate and helpless days with her, and suddenly she seemed to understand that He Xi had a trait in her, which made her attracted and willing to give everything for her.

She raised her eyes to look at He Xi, and when she saw He Xi staring at herself in the mirror, she stretched out her hand to touch a little cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows, Ruyi suddenly felt a sour eye, and said, "It's not early, Miss should rest early." ”

He Xi retracted her gaze, what was buried in her eyes, she helped herself to the bed by Ruyi, lay down on her side, her legs slightly bent, some people said, this is an insecure posture, when the baby is in the mother's body, the meeting is self-defense.

But she is protecting another little life, just now, she suddenly felt that she was a little strange in the mirror, and it was clear that she had seen this face countless times, but when Ruyi asked herself a question, He Xi felt that the look on her face was so strange, such a faint smile, since when did she start to be so skilled in calculating with others.

She listened to Ruyi falling asleep on her feet, and only the chirping of night insects could be heard in the room, and he Xi said softly after a while: "Ruyi, do you think we are like duckweed on the water?" ”

Ruyi looked up puzzled, she couldn't see her expression clearly in the dark, Ruyi thought about it seriously and said: "The slave doesn't think so, a long, long time ago, the slave and the maid only thought that they were just a knife, but later, this knife gave birth to blood and flesh, and became expectant." ”

Looking forward to it?

He Xi muttered and repeated: "So Ruyi, what are your expectations now?" ”

Ruyi took a deep breath, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The slave is looking forward to the birth of the little master, and looking forward to living a quiet life with the young lady——"

He Xi's hand subconsciously held his abdomen, looking forward to the arrival of this child, yes, she was also looking forward to it, but the Gu poison on her body-she slowly closed her eyes, hoping that this Gu poison would not harm this child.

The night gradually sank, and the master and servant had no other words, and slept together.

On the other side, in the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin looked at the housekeeper kneeling in front of her with a gloomy face and said, "What did you say?" Didn't you go home today? ”

Cold sweat broke out on the housekeeper's forehead, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "If Mrs. Hui, after the lord came back from the palace today, he went to his colleague's mansion, saying that he was discussing official business, and now he really hasn't returned to the house." ”

Qin's face was solemn, and Yu'er whispered on the side: "Madam, maybe the master really has something important to do, after all, the master is in Yikun Palace today, and I don't know what the Queen Mother ordered." ”

When the Qin family stood up to Yu'er's words, she suddenly remembered Xing'er, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart: "Can the master talk to that slut today?" ”

The housekeeper was horrified in his heart, but he didn't know who the slut was in Qin's mouth, so he could only say sneeringly: "The subordinate doesn't know what Madame means, Madame only means——"

The Qin clan seemed to confirm his conjecture more and more, and looked around and said, "Who followed the master into the palace?" ”

Yu'er saw her look in a hurry, so she whispered: "Madam, only that Lu Ran entered the palace with the master——"

Qin's sharp eyebrows became more and more aggressive and aggressive, and she secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Ran, but didn't he send us out of the palace, wouldn't there be no one around the master later?" ”

Yu'er nodded, and the Qin clan glared at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground viciously, and said, "Go and send someone to find the master, just say that I am unwell." ”

The housekeeper nodded again and again, and only then did he want to withdraw, when he saw a little guy running in in a panic and said, "Madam, someone is from the palace." ”

Mrs. Qin was angry, and said angrily: "Which palace?" Are you looking for the master or me? If you are looking for the master, pass the word down, he is not in the Qin Mansion, as for where it is, let them find it themselves. ”

The housekeeper gave the little guy a wink and signaled him not to make Mrs. Qin angry in vain.

The little girl's voice trembled a little and said, "Mrs. Hui's words, I am looking for you, I heard that it is the father-in-law sent by Miss Mu in the palace." ”

Mrs. Qin became more and more confused, at this time she was feeling depressed in her heart, not to mention, she didn't like He Xi in the first place, so naturally she didn't want to pay attention to it, so she said: "You go and send people away, just say that I am not feeling well and am not suitable for seeing guests." ”

The little guy hesitated and refused to leave, and Mrs. Qin said angrily: "What? Now I can't be the master of this Qin Mansion, can I? ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the housekeeper obliquely, where was the housekeeper willing to annoy her again, and hurriedly got up from the ground and said: "The people under my hands are not sensible, please don't blame Madame, the slave will go down and send people away, and I will send someone to inform the master." ”

The anger on Mrs. Qin's face gradually subsided, and she said with a slightly satisfied look: "It's about the same-Yu'er, let's go back to the room-"

The people in the courtyard were relieved to see that she didn't plan to pursue it any more, and the little guy approached and said, "Butler, that father-in-law is still waiting in the concierge, how is this good?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "You go there to find the master, just say that the lady is sick and want the master to go back to the house to visit, as for the father-in-law in the palace, I will go to see -"

The little guy said with a look of embarrassment: "If the lady knows that the master is going, I'm afraid that we who don't report it will be beaten to death——"

The housekeeper is also full of worries, in fact, since that girl was sent to the palace, Lord Qin has often stayed in Fireworks Willow Lane, everyone in the Xiliang Imperial City knows that there is a powerful Mrs. Qin in the Qin Mansion, and the position of Mrs. Qin is high and powerful, no one will be willing to wade into this troubled water, and the whole mansion is afraid of Mrs. Qin's strength, and they all open one eye, close one eye and pretend not to know.

And in the past few days, Qin Hao has not returned to the house for several days, which has aroused Mrs. Qin's suspicion and dissatisfaction, but fortunately, they have found a reason to prevaricate, otherwise they will definitely make trouble.

The little servant hurried out quietly through the back door, and the butler went to the porter in the front yard.

At this time, it was not anyone else waiting at the gatehouse, but Jiang An, who stood straight, his eyes did not squint, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not look like an inferior eunuch in the palace.

But after all, they are people in the palace, and the housekeeper still smiled and asked, "Looking at my father-in-law's face, I don't know which palace it is?" ”

Jiang An smiled faintly and said: "The housekeeper is polite, his cheap name is Jiang An, he is the palace man of Hanyue Tower, and he is here today to deliver something for our young lady." ”

The housekeeper smiled decently and detachedly: "It turned out to be Miss Mu's side, but it was really a rare guest, but today is really unfortunate, our wife occasionally feels a cold, and now she is resting in the room, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see my father-in-law——"

Jiang An was not in a hurry, but just took out the wooden box in his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just that I have to bother the housekeeper to bring something to Madame, and by the way, I will help the servant pass a word - just say, our young lady is grateful to Mrs. Qin for accompanying her in the palace before, but our young lady is unstable, I'm afraid that she doesn't have the energy to meet guests recently, and I ask Madame to forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he took out a gold leaf from his bosom and stuffed it into the butler's hand, leaned closer and said, "These words, please be sure to bring them to the butler——"
