Chapter 299: Darkness Chen Cang (6)
He Xi got up and gave a blessing, which can be regarded as thanks.
Everyone gossiped for a while, and when they saw Hui Guifei's lack of interest, they all retreated with great eyes, and Hui Guifei only said that she was tired during pregnancy and needed to rest, but she didn't stop her, and let everyone leave.
After everyone left, Lan Xin swept the tea cup on the desk to the ground and said angrily: "She really thinks she is something? If you can't do it here, you want to ask Your Majesty? Hongu really gave her face-"
Linglong waved her hand at the people in the hall, and the palace people who served retreated lightly one by one as if they had been pardoned, leaving only Linglong and Lan Xin, Linglong half leaned down and persuaded Lan Xin softly along her chest: "Don't be angry-"
Lan Xin snorted coldly and said: "Look at her appearance, since she was pregnant, this Lingxiu Palace is like an iron wall, no one can stuff it in, no one can inquire about any news, Zipei's cheap maid is now favored, and she still cares about competing for favor, and the hand that this palace has worked so hard to be considered broken." β
Linglong smiled slightly, and said softly: "Without Zipei, isn't there still Zijin?" β
Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, looked at Linglong suspiciously, and said, "Zijin? She's not the Queen's person? β
Linglong nodded, and then said: "Niangniang thinks, we all know that this Zijin is the queen's person, how can Concubine Xi not know?" Niangniang didn't see it, today you said that the people around the prince are not strong, Zijin's appearance, she has lost her backer now, maybe she regrets following the queen in her heart, you said, if we throw down a rope at this time, will the person who fell into the water be caught? β
Lan Xin was still a little anxious and said: "Although the words are like this, but the queen is only grounded, in case she disobeys the yin and yang, won't we lead the wolf into the room?" β
Linglong smiled: "Niangniang is smart, slave is stupid, Niangniang must have a way to make mistakes, it doesn't matter who this knife is, the important thing is to be able to killββ"
Lan Xin nodded and said: "This is extremely reasonable, in this way, you find an opportunity, if you can see Zijin, you can help this palace with a word." β
She bowed her head slightly, and said something in Zi Linglong's ear, and Linglong nodded again and again after hearing it: "Niang Niang is wise." β
After He Xi left from Luhua Palace, he went straight to the Internal Affairs Office, and Sun Xiang, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, was a person who was very good at observing words and feelings.
He Xi just looked at it, and then said to Sun Xiang: "The roster of these people is taken for this palace-"
Sun Xiang didn't say a word, he hurriedly asked people to go down to prepare, his subordinates were neat, and after a while, he took the identity list of the twenty people, He Xi raised his voice and said to Sun Xiang: "Don't have relatives outside the palace, don't be in the palace for less than a year, don't serve the lord in the past, according to this requirement, screen it againββ"
Sun Xiang was stunned, he was a little embarrassed and held the roster and said: "Niangniang, I'm afraid it's not easy to findββ"
He Xi didn't look at him and said: "There are so many people in the Internal Affairs Office, there is always a suitable one, you can just do what the palace says." β
Sun Xiang's demeanor was no longer as relaxed as before, he trembled and flipped through the roster, according to He Xi's requirements, there were really two people who met the requirements, just a palace maid and an internal servant, He Xi squinted his phoenix eyes, like a well-fed cat, he actually showed a lazy meaning, and said, "What are your names?" β
The two looked at each other, leaned down and said, "The slave's name is Cailian." β
Another attendant said, "The slave's name is Fulu." β
He Xi nodded and turned to Sun Xiang and said, "Just the two of them." β
Sun Xiang said with a smile on his face: "Niangniang, as far as the slaves know, this Caihe and Fulu only know a few words, and they accompany the eldest princeββ"
He Xi glanced at Sun Xiang and said: "This palace chooses to read with you, but the most important thing is to take care of the eldest prince. β
Sun Xiang was speechless, so he had to wave his hand to the dozen or so people behind him and said, "Okay, since Niangniang has made up her mind, you can go down first, Cailian, Fulu, you will follow Concubine Xi to Lingxiu Palace." β
Cai Lian and Fu Lu saluted one after another: "Slave - slave maid - obey the order." β
Looking at He Xi's back as he walked away, Sun Xiang straightened his waist and walked towards the side house.
Inside the house, a palace beauty was drinking tea, and when she saw Sun Xiang coming in, she hurriedly got up and gave a salute and asked, "How are things?" β
Sun Xiang shook his head and said, "This Concubine Xi is really powerful, just a few conditions screened out all our people, and two were selected." β
Qiao'er's expression changed slightly, and she said, "How is this good?" The queen mother is now in prison, only we are outside, and Zijin now looks like she can't return to the eldest prince. β
Sun Xiang thought for a while before he said: "There is a sentence to forgive the slave bluntly, this eldest prince is not to be afraid at all, his biological mother is just a cheap maid in the criminal slave house, even if he is fostered under the knee of Concubine Xi, he can't change the background that can't be on the stage, the slave has a humble opinion, instead of spending time on the eldest prince, it is better to imagine how to spend time by Concubine Hui's side." β
Qiao'er frowned slightly, no one in this palace knew the queen's secret, she simply didn't mention it, got up and said, "I'm going back." β
But he didn't want to take half a step, but he was stopped by Sun Xiang, Sun Xiang salivated on his face, and said, "What is the little master going to do in such a hurry?" His Majesty will not go to Jiaxi Hall either. Wouldn't it be nice for you to talk to your minions? β
Qiao'er's face turned white first and then red, she lowered her head, hid all the disgust in her eyes, and said, "I've been out for a long time, Xia Mei is in a hurry, I'm afraid she will come to look for me." β
She still wanted to leave, but Sun Xiang still stopped at the door, and his hand directly touched Qiao'er's cheek, and said tenderly: "I'm afraid that the little master has forgotten what kind of place this is?" This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs - who would dare to disturb without my orders? β
Qiao'er unconsciously took half a step back, dodging Sun Xiang's hand, Sun Xiang's face changed, and he took a step closer and said, "What, does the little master regret it?" β
Qiao'er smiled wryly: "Where did Grandpa Sun say, since I agreed to eat with you, naturally I won't regret it, but it's really a little inconvenient today, it's better toββ"
Before her words fell, the person had been forced into a corner by Sun Xiang, Sun Xiang's expression became vicious, and there was a little less flattery, he said: "Since the little master has no repentance, the slave can't waitββ"
Qiao'er took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes, she felt a unique fishy aura of eunuchs, approaching her little by little, her hands clenched unconsciously, pressing the river and sea in her stomach.
But his thoughts drifted to the distant sky, mingling with the flowing clouds, letting the wind pull him and turn him into pieces, and when he came out of the Internal Affairs Office, it was already evening.
Xia Mei was already tired of standing, so she found a stone step to sit on, dozed off boredly, heard the footsteps behind her, and woke up in a hurry, and then got up and said: "The little master can be regarded as coming out, you have been in here for a long time." β
Qiao'er glanced at her obliquely, as if she noticed that her master was in a bad mood, Xia Mei was busy and followed Qiao'er back to Jiaxi Palace.
Xia Mei looked at Qiao'er's expression and said, "The little master wants to pass on dinner?" β
Qiao'er endured the feeling of nausea and said, "No, I feel a little tired, Xia Mei, you go down and prepare hot water." β
Xia Mei said curiously: "Before going to bed, is the little master going to bathe?" β
Qiao'er couldn't hold back anymore, raised her hand and gave Xia Mei a slap, she hit it extremely hard, Xia Mei was stunned, she didn't care about the buzzing in her left ear, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Little master, where is the slave and maid wrong, and the little master punishes the slave and maid like this?" β
Qiao'er snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong?" I am the master, you are a servant, there are some things you should ask, some things you should not ask, if you don't have this kind of eyes, you should go back to the internal affairs office, I will find a smart and clever one. β
Xia Mei was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, even the tears rolled down silently, she covered her face and said, "Yes-slave thank you little master for mentioning something, slave and maid knowββ"
Qiao'er seemed to find a trace of pleasure in this tyranny, and she said, "Then why don't you hurry up and get down?" β
Xia Mei covered her face and retreated, and after a while, she sent hot water in, and then withdrew without saying a word, obviously learning to be well-behaved.
Qiao'er took off the palace clothes on her body, immersed herself in hot water, she slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, then she felt a lot more comfortable, she raised her arms, saw the lilac pinch marks on it, ambiguous and rough, and suddenly smiled, it turned out that no matter what, she couldn't escape such a fate.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little remorseful, regretted her self-made cleverness, she thought that if she became the emperor's woman, everything would be different, but she was wrong, what if she became a promise? His net worth and life are still in the hands of the queen.
He is just a chess piece, and in such days, if you wait until the queen is reinstated, the nightmare will end.
She took a deep breath and kept telling herself: The current efforts are worth it, as long as the queen feels that she is heartfelt, one day, she will see the light again and walk openly under the sun.
This is the only thing I can rely on in the harem.
I don't know if it's water vapor or what, it rose up, blinded her sight, and she couldn't help but think: What would be the consequences if she married Rambo at that time?
The night covered all the unsightly pickles in the harem, and sprinkled a layer of bright moonlight in the darkness, which made people intoxicated and struggled.
