Mu Ziqin said with a smile: "That seems to be shallow." ”

Su Ling also did not hide his joy, and then said, "If you don't understand something, you can ask me for advice." I'll tell you all about it then. ”

Mu Ziqin didn't like this kind of conversation very much, but in order to figure out what Qin Xi said, he had to respond.

Although Su Ling is not a person who is very happy, he still feels a lot of pride in his heart when he hears such words. I drank a few more glasses of wine for a while. Qin Xi, who was sitting beside Mu Ziqin, didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his head, thinking that he could take advantage of this to avoid being noticed by Su Ling.

But who knew that Su Ling would be more likely to notice her like this, and he said, "Why do you keep your head down?" Or don't talk to us, or even pour wine from us? When did the girl in the Forget Worry Pavilion become so ignorant of the rules? ”

Qin Xi was so frightened by the sudden click that he couldn't say a word. Fortunately, at this time, Mu Ziqin opened his mouth and said, "She just sang me a hometown tune, which aroused homesickness." Just let her take a break. ”

Mu Ziqin's words not only did not make Su Ling let Qin Xi go, but aroused his interest, and after he said "oh", he got up and sat down beside her. At this time, Qin Xi was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak at all, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Seeing her pitiful look, Su Ling suddenly became interested, and he raised his hand to lift her face. What caught my eye was a look of pity, and there were tears in the corners of Qin Xi's eyes. Immediately, a sense of pity rose in Su Ling's heart.

"I'll feel sorry for you like this." Su Ling looked at her with affectionate eyes, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Xi shook his hand away, stood up excitedly, and then shouted at him: "You madman!" ”

Qin Xi didn't speak, and let Su Ling wipe her tears, maybe it was okay. At least Su Ling would be gentle and soft-spoken to her, but now it was impossible. Because Su Ling's whole face changed when he heard her words.

Su Ling grimaced and asked, "What did you just say about me?" ”

Looking at the gloomy person in front of him, Qin Xi replied tremblingly, "Slave family...... Didn't say anything...... Public...... Childe misheard. ”

But how could Su Ling be the one who bypassed others so easily, he directly grabbed her neck, and then asked in a yin and yang weird voice while exerting force: "What's the matter?" Shouldn't I be gentle with you? Let you say that about me? ”

Qin Xi tried to pant and said, "No, it's the slave family who is too stupid to comment on Gongzi's kindness." ”

"Then Ben Gongzi asks you, on what basis do you think I'm a madman?" The movements on Su Ling's hands kept getting worse. Before Qin Xi could finish speaking, he heard a crisp sound of bones breaking.

Before Qin Xi could speak, he was strangled to death by Su Ling. Mu Ziqin looked at Qin Xi's hanging head in his hand, his heart was shocked, and at the same time full of chagrin. regretted that she hadn't believed what Qin Xi said before, otherwise she wouldn't have been killed by Su Ling.

Su Ling looked at the person who had lost his breath and smiled, and said, "I really can't stand the toss." I'll have to torture others before I die. ”

"Brother Su, you are like this...... Aren't you afraid that the government will come to arrest you? ”

Su Ling smiled and said, "The government is coming to arrest me?" It's a joke. In the entire Great Qianguo, I don't think anyone will dare to arrest me except today. ”

As soon as Su Ling's words came out, Mu Ziqin raised a warning in his heart, he quietly lowered his words and wrote them down, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Su's identity to be so beneficial." I learned it in the next. ”

"That's the difference between you and me." Su Ling smiled while beckoning Mu Ziqin to continue drinking.

Mu Ziqin didn't make much of a move, just sat down and continued to drink with Su Ling. That night they waited until the hour of the day for the boatman to row the boat back to shore. When they got off the boat, the two of them drank about the same wine, and Su Ling's steps even seemed a little staggering, but fortunately, the servants on the shore held him in time, otherwise he would have fallen into the river.

Su Ling pulled the servant beside him and said, "I'm really happy today." Thank you for your company. Then don't leave it at that. ”

"Okay. Brother Su walked slowly. ”

Su Ling waved goodbye, and Mu Ziqin, who was standing on the shore, let the cold wind blow away the wine on his body, and at the same time blow his wine awake.

After that meeting, Mu Ziqin never saw Su Ling again. It was also because after that time that Mu Ziqin learned about Su Ling's character from another angle. He must be completely sure of what he will do before he does it, otherwise it is impossible for him to move one more step. That's why Mu Ziqin can be so sure that Su Ling will not fight back.

When Luo Ge woke up and was there in late autumn, she had a lot of fire in her palace. Everything that could be thrown in the room was thrown away. Looking at the mess all over the place, the person who had just entered the house let out a scream.

"Yo, my Lady Qiu. What's going on? Don't you want anything in the house? Or something else. Why did you smash them all? ”

When An Wanqiu heard the reputation, she saw an old woman she didn't know standing outside the door. The old woman was wearing a material that was only available in the Mu Jin Palace-snow weaving. This kind of cloth is unique to the entire Mujin Kingdom. And the style of the fabric is only available to high-ranking palace maids in the palace.

After An Wanqiu looked at her, she immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know which palace this lady is from, how did she come to my small palace?" ”

"The old slave has seen the mother." The grandmother saluted first and then said, "The old slave is the female official of Shuhua Palace-Shen Shenming. On weekdays, the female officials who are in charge of the entire harem are a grade higher than the female officials who manage the harem maids. Shen Shenming's last sentence was very deliberate.

An Wanqiu heard the meaning of her words, and immediately stepped forward to help her up, and then said, "Is there something wrong with Mama Shen?" ”

Shen Shenming smiled and helped An Wanqiu up with his backhand, and said, "Madam is really a clever person. The old slave came to question him on the orders of the queen. ”

"Question? Why would the queen let Mama come? Isn't there never anyone in her palace who can enter? An Wanqiu knew Shen Shenming's intention, and immediately asked: "Is Niangniang so anxious about the news?" ”

"It's not that Niangniang is in a hurry, but Niangniang thinks that the news from Madame is coming too slowly. And the mother waited for a long time and didn't see Qianle to report the news. So let the old slave come, and by the way, let's see if Qianle encountered an accident on the way. ”

Before Shen Shenming said the word "Qianle", An Wanqiu's face changed.

She took advantage of a face and said, "Niangniang really cares about people." However, this person treacherously became Luo Ge's lackey. ”

"Stooges?" Shen Shenming didn't understand why she said that.

"Mama, you don't know, this Qianle was called to Linhua Hall by Concubine De a few days ago, and then came out and became the head of the Linhua Palace. Maybe I'm eating and drinking spicy food in Concubine De's palace now. ”

Shen Shenming didn't answer An Wanqiu immediately, but thought for a moment and said, "Since Madame said so, then the old slave has a few questions that Madame wants to answer." I don't know what Madame thinks? ”

"Do the questions you are asking have anything to do with Chiraku?"

"It's not all. But from the few questions asked, it can be judged whether he really betrayed his wife and Niangniang and became the person of Concubine De. I don't know if Madame can do it? ”

"In that case, it's good for Mama to ask." An Wanqiu motioned for Shen Shenming to sit down next to her, and asked her to ask.

Shen Shenming squatted slightly, and immediately said after thanking An Wanqiu: "When was the last time Madam saw Qianle?" ”

"Yesterday. He came to tell me that Luo Ge hadn't been in a coma for too long, and that he had been awake for days. And then he was gone. ”

"What time is that? What was he doing at the time? ”

"It is night, and the hour is near. When he entered the door, he kept looking back behind him, as if he was afraid that someone would follow. After that, when he came in, he knelt down and reported to me what he had sought. ”

"Then may I ask Madame, what special actions are there after he finishes speaking?"

An Wanqiu thought for a moment and said, "No." He just knelt down before me and left. Didn't stop even for a moment. ”

"Then the old slave asked Madame again, is there anything unusual in your palace after he leaves?"

"Nope." An Wanqiu shook her head.

"Then I understand it now." Shen Shenming smiled with relief and said, "Don't worry, madam, this Qianle is still a mother's person." He did not defect. ”

"Then why did he become the chief chamberlain in Concubine De's palace?"

"Hahahaha." Shen Shenming smiled, "Now it's all clear. This must be Concubine De's trick, in order to make a gap between Mrs. and Qian Lesheng, and from now on to separate you. If it succeeds, then she can make Qianle use it for her. In this way, the contact between Mrs. and Niangniang is gone, and at the same time, you can also win over Qianle and let him find out the news for himself. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? ”

Being Shen Shenming like this, An Wanqiu was stunned, and she immediately said: "That is to say, if this palace doctor is angry and no longer has any contact with Qianle, then she can break all the alliances between me and Niangniang." ”

"Yes. At the same time, the mother and the lady lost the cousin who could have entered the palace to help you. If the news of the old slave is not wrong, then at the end of this month, Madame's cousin will marry the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. ”

"Yes. If it hadn't been for the news that Qianle had received that Concubine De's slut had died, then it would have been impossible for the palace to let her cousin's family take her roster. To be honest, it is better to enter the palace than to marry the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Shenming shook her head, "As long as Madam makes good use of her cousin, then she can also help her mother and Madame." After all, the eldest son of the Marquis of this town is an aspiring person, and he wants to participate in the scientific expedition this autumn. When the time comes, if he passes the examination, he will then become an official. Then why don't you have to worry about Madame and Niangniang to help you both? ”

"Then he has to be able to pass the test. If you can't pass the exam...... Then all plans are in vain. Besides, this exam, the palace has inquired, and the king attaches great importance to it, so the invigilation is stricter than ever before. ”
