There are several pots of begonias in the hall, the color is pale and almost white, and it looks like Lan Xin's face at this moment. No matter how good the rouge is, it can only stain the pale skin with a layer of floating red, which is not the appearance of a radiant face at all. "This palace is also a slave who likes to do his best in everything."

Although this is not serious, it makes people's faces hurt to hear. Jiang Lian didn't dare to rub it, so he had to smile carefully: "The slave doesn't dare to take credit." After serving the master for several years, the slave knew that he was even careless, but he was pardoned by the emperor and queen, and the slave was grateful and more dedicated. ”

"A good self-deserving is more dedicated." Lan Xin smiled kindly, gently dusted the ups and downs on his knees, and said unhurriedly: "Gonggong Jiang is really ingenious. A few days ago, the palace has carefully investigated the various matters of the elder brother in recent months. I found that the potted flowers in Yonglian's house would be replaced every three or five days. Thanks to Jiang Lian, you are delicate, and you are very good for the palace in everything. ”

Jiang Lian didn't understand the queen's intentions, and said cautiously: "The slave thinks that fresh flowers can make people physically and mentally happy and add vitality, so they change people frequently." ”

"yes." Lan Xin sighed slightly, and her melancholy became more and more worried: "Being able to see fresh and colorful plants during illness can always soothe your mood." Bengong thought that Yonglian would probably like those flowers and plants too. ”

"That's exactly what the Queen said." Cold sweat flowed down his spine, and Jiang Lian's heart kept drumming. The queen left him in the Changchun Palace, and talked for a long time, what did she want. In the past, he was indeed instructed by the Queen Mother, and he didn't have to be too thoughtful about the queen who was like a "grounded".

But after all, this is the queen mother's decree, and it is not his turn to be a slave to bear the consequences. Besides, the queen is not such a person who will repay her. Now, he is full of thought that as long as he is cautious in everything and has the heart to make up for his mistakes, he will finally resolve these evil things. After all, with the red-topped white set, there is no one in the harem who can't do it, and it's finally not strange.

"Fresh flowers are naturally excellent in the palace. It's okay to move out of the flowers that aren't fresh. Lan Xin muttered this sentence, and a strong sadness flashed in his eyes, but it was only a short moment before he hid it in his heart.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were only full of indignation, and Lan Xin said in a cold tone: "Then how often do the flowers paid by the Emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace be replaced?" How often are the flowers that come to the shrine replaced? Jiang Lian, you have been in charge of the Internal Affairs Office for decades, and you definitely don't remember such a trivial matter, right? ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor's heart palace and the queen's Changchun Palace, flowers are the best florist in the palace to cultivate, if there is no special instructions, at least seven or eight days and more than half a month will be replaced." Jiang Lian didn't dare to answer with a straight face, but just bowed down and respectfully saluted.

"Yes, I stowed." Lan Xin slowly stood up and walked to Jiang Lian's side gracefully: "Then, don't you want to think about it, why do the flowers in the second elder brother's dormitory need to be replaced in such a short time?" ”

Jiang Lian obviously didn't expect that the queen would ask this. "The minions were terrified, and the minions didn't know about it, and the matter was replaced by the inner chamberlain of the lower house, and the minions only needed to approve it in the register. If the queen mother is suspicious, the servant will come to inquire in detail. ”

"Is this Jiang Lian's 'more dedicated'?" Lan Xin smiled awe-inspiringly, and the corners of his lips were full of murderous coldness: "Let this palace tell you." It's just that Yonglian didn't take the medicine properly, but whenever the concubine and the nurse were not there, he saw that the hot medicinal soup was poured into the pot of flowers, causing the roots of the flowers to be damaged, and soon withered and died. ”

The resentment in the eyes is reluctance, self-blame, and heartache. Lan Xin carefully checked it, and among the potted flowers and soil in the flower room that Brother brought back, there were indeed ingredients for medicinal soup. In this way, Yonglian used not a day or two of his own methods, if the palace people below could be a little dedicated, they would have found out early.

But the nurse hangs herself and the father-in-law hangs herself, all of which are ordinary dereliction of duty, is it really dereliction of duty? Even the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs never noticed anything wrong at all.

As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Lan Xin's chest couldn't be suppressed. "Yonglian's death is far from being so simple. Jiang Lian, you should be glad that the palace bears the brunt of the sacrifice with your life, so that his spirit in the sky can be comforted. ”

"The Emperor...... The queen mother, the minion...... The minions don't know, please spare the minions! Jiang Lian clearly heard the killing intent from the queen's words. But why is that? Could it be that it became his fault that the second elder brother didn't drink the medicine? He knelt at the feet of the queen unwillingly, begging for mercy again and again, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Spare you?" Lan Xin tugged at the corners of her lips, smiling: "This palace spares you, who can let Yonglian go?" ”

Jiang Lian didn't know what to do, so he lowered his voice and said: "The queen's mother, the second elder brother unfortunately passed away, which is really a disaster for the Qing Dynasty." The minions are just as heart-wrenching, just as heart-wrenching. What's more, the slave has not harmed the second elder brother at all, I hope the queen mother will be ......"

Lan Xin looked at him begging for mercy, and couldn't help but feel a little happy. "Actually, Jiang Lian, you are a smart person, and smart people often leave a way back for themselves. So this palace is very curious, when the Japanese palace is trapped in the Changchun Palace, why don't you disobey the yang and the yin, and secretly please the palace, but even dare to deduct the use of the palace. Aren't you afraid that this palace will make a comeback one day? ”

His lips trembled slightly, Jiang Lian didn't dare to reply to the queen's words, he just lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.

"Who instructed you to send that moldy blood swallow to Changchun Palace?" Lan Xin already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to know the truth from Jiang Lian's mouth.

Jiang Lian was silent, but the answer was already on his lips.

Lan Xin lowered her eyebrows and smiled, as if she had expected this. "It's okay, you don't have to. Anyway, the palace has made up its mind, Xue Guining. ”

"No, Queen." Jiang Lian saw that the queen was really moved, and couldn't help but be anxious: "A slave is just a slave, and he can only do errands according to his master's orders." The moldy blood swallow wasn't actually from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But...... But...... Cining Palace doesn't need it. The slave can achieve today's position, thanks to the support and favor of the Queen Mother, therefore, the slave does not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes......"

"That's a good point." Lan Xin actually didn't understand why the Queen Mother made it difficult for her in all kinds of ways. Could it be that Feng Quan is really more important than everything? Such a boring effort is also worth the Queen Mother's effort. "Hongu knows."

Listening to the queen's tone softened, Jiang Lianru was amnesty, frowned and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the slave really doesn't want to do this, but on the one hand, it is the Queen Mother's decree, and on the other hand, the Queen Mother, you are also the master of the slave...... The minions are in a dilemma, but they can't take care of the others. ”

"Xue Guining." Lan Xin called softly.

Xue Guining walked in from outside the door in a hurry, and a Qian'er beat down: "What does the queen mother command?" ”

"How many blood swallows are still taken from the Internal Affairs Office?" Lan Xin's eyes were shining with cold light, like sharp silver needles, and the needles pierced Jiang Lian's heart.

"If you go back to your mother, there are at least three big packages." Xue Guining glanced at Jiang Lian, and said angrily: "It's not just the blood swallow, the Internal Affairs Office also sent japonica rice, glutinous rice, and five beans a few days ago, and the servants have all checked it, they are all old things, but I am afraid that if it is cooked, it will have to eat bad stomach." ”

Jiang Lian's face turned blue with bluff, and he argued again and again: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the slave will let people send the best and freshest." Those unusable things, as soon as the slaves were allowed to move away, they were thrown out of the Changchun Palace, and they didn't dare to fool the queen again. I also hope that the queen mother will give the slave a chance to mend his ways. ”

"It's fine." Lan Xin turned around and slowly walked towards the phoenix chair, and only after he sat down did he say slowly: "Xue Guining, according to what Jiang Lian said, carry out all the old sesame rotten grains in our palace and place them on the spacious palace road outside the main palace gate of Changchun Palace." ”

After a pause, Lan Xin smacked the taste in his mouth and stopped with a light smile: "Stuff one handful into Gonggong Jiang's mouth for this palace, and let him eat nothing left." If it doesn't hurt his stomach, and he is useful, then let him go back to the Internal Affairs Office to reform and work again. If one accidentally chokes him to death or poisons moldy beans, he will die. The palace rewarded a roll of straw mats, wrapped him and threw him to the mass grave. You don't have to pass on the imperial doctor for treatment, it takes that effort. ”

"Huh." Xue Guining responded with a smile on his eyebrows, only feeling extremely relieved and happy: "The queen is at ease, this errand will definitely be done, and it will not disappoint Gonggong Jiang." ”

"Queen Mother, the slave also does what he is told, so you can spare the minion. The slave will never dare to ...... again" Jiang Lian knew that death was coming, but he still kowtowed like garlic, hoping that the queen would change her original intention. "Queen Mother, the slave is also acting on orders, not sincerely. You can see that the minions have served in the palace for thirty years, and you have forgiven the minions! ”

Lan Xin sighed helplessly: "What Gonggong Jiang said is that thirty years is really not easy, and this palace has only been in the fourth year of entering the palace, and it is almost unbearable." But don't worry, if you swallow so much mold, you will die, but that doesn't mean you're useless. ”

At this moment, Lan Xin's heart was filled with pleasure, which was a category she had never wanted to set foot in before. She gently held the golden hairpin that had entered Cao Xuyan's heart on her sideburns, and her face was not shocked: "This palace is to use the life of your dog slave to be vigilant and alert to the hearts of people who are disrespectful to this palace, so that everyone in the harem can see clearly, who is the middle palace lady who took the affairs of the sixth palace, and who is the real phoenix lord in the Forbidden City." ”
