Brother Xu Ying listened to Jingrong's narration while cleaning up: "Soon after Madame went, Zhaorong Niangniang took Sanniangzi out, saying that she was going to Qingfeng Pavilion to find something to see with Sanniangzi, and the maid had to follow. This stay came to the evening, although the maid was in a hurry, but could not lose the three ladies there, until someone came to report that you were gone, Zhaorong Niangniang then led the three ladies to come over to accuse. The county lord of Hui'an has sent the three ladies back, and the three ladies are all right. ”

Luo Zhao's appearance seems to be clean, but he is actually full of loopholes. Thinking that she is the head of the first palace, how can it be that the emperor went to her palace and she didn't know anything? Even if the old emperor made a temporary decision, there would be palace people who would immediately report to her that she would know, otherwise how could she mix? Brother Xu Ying sneered and said gently: "No wonder you, leaving you there is just to take care of Youran." After a pause, he said tentatively: "Sister, do you know why Zhaorong Niangniang wants to see Youran?" What did you say? ”

Jingrong was silent for a moment, and said softly: "The biological mother of the third lady is actually the cousin of Zhaorong Niangniang, and that incident had something to do with the Wutong Palace back then, so the queen mother allowed the third lady to go to the Furong Palace." The maid is outside today, listening to Zhaorong Niangniang just reminiscing. ”

Just reminiscing about the old days is enough to cause Zhang Youran countless grievances, his biological mother was Luo Zhaorong's cousin, if it weren't for that mess, Zhang Youran should at least be a princess now. It's good now, the two of them are the concubines of two fathers and sons, who should die if Zhang Youran's biological mother should die? can tolerate his death after giving birth to Zhang Youran, which can be regarded as leaving room for him. This family is really chaotic enough, Brother Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh secretly, just after cleaning up, he listened to the palace people all greet Princess Changle, and then Princess Changle came in, and ordered the palace people accompanying him to send Brother Xu Ying a few porridge dishes, waved his hand and ordered everyone to go down, and said, "I think you are also hungry." Pad your stomach first. Xiao San'er has already gone to inform him, so you don't have to worry about him. ”

Brother Xu Ying thanked him and was no longer polite, and was busy filling his stomach. Princess Changle waited for her to eat most of her before she said softly: "Today's matter is really dangerous, I think the two palaces have joined forces, and I want the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

Otherwise, everything would not be so coincidental, she and Zhang Youran went to Luo Zhaorong's palace, and the queen was counted. If it weren't for the fact that the queen suddenly fell ill at that most coincidental point and Jinghui disappeared, she wouldn't have seen that filth. Brother Xu Ying nodded in agreement: "Everything is too coincidental." After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, how could the other party not calculate that Empress Zhu happened to be sick at that time? Could it be that they could control Empress Zhu's condition? When I think about it like this, I feel the coldness that penetrates my bones, and I feel even more terrifying.

Who is Princess Changle, looking at her expression, I guessed what she thought, and I had to ask: "How?" ”

Brother Xu Ying knew that if he said this inappropriately, he would not implicate anyone. After a long time, he said euphemistically: "I just think it's too coincidental, and their calculations are too accurate, even if the mother will happen to get sick at that time." ”

Princess Changle frowned slightly: "In this palace...... People who can get close to the mother are credible, and they shouldn't be. I think it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, even if they don't happen to be sick when they meet the mother, they probably have other consequences. After a pause, he said, "Of course, eventful." Be cautious and I'll arrange it. ”

Brother Xu Ying didn't say more, and said respectfully: "I'll go see Niangniang later." And what should I say? ”

Princess Changle said: "You said, you fainted after drinking a cup of tea, and then woke up in Mei Cairen's room, and heard the noise outside, and Jing Hui didn't reply for a long time, so I listened to Mei Cairen's words and hid." Wait until it gets dark before you dare to come out. ”

Brother Xu Ying was very skeptical that he could deceive Empress Zhu with these words: "Okay? ”

Princess Changle lowered her head and drank tea: "That's what you say." Mei Cairen doesn't have to worry about it, I'll arrange it. ”

Thinking that this Mei Cairen, who had never met before, should be the nail planted in the Furong Palace by Empress Zhu's family, no wonder Princess Kang heard that the crazy old emperor would be so unfazed. Brother Xu Ying solemnly responded: "Yes." ”

Only here did I put down the dishes and chopsticks and rinse my mouth, and then I came to pass the word: "Niangniang woke up, I heard that the Duchess of Nanguo has returned safely, and she wants to see Madame." ”

Brother Xu Ying cleaned up a happy look of nothing to do, and happily went to see Empress Zhu with Princess Changle.

The main hall of Hanzhang Hall is brightly lit, and Zhu Hou leans on the bright yellow pillow, and his face is as yellow as gold, but his hair is not messy, and his eyes are still clear. Seeing Brother Xu Ying, he beckoned to her with a smile and said in a low voice: "Come and tell me, where have you been running all day?" ”

Brother Xu Ying sat down on his feet with a guilty face, held Zhu Hou's cold and thin hand, and whispered slowly the set of words taught by Princess Changle: "It's all granddaughter-in-law who is not careful......

After listening to this, Empress Zhu looked at Brother Xu Ying silently. Brother Xu Ying felt that Empress Zhu's eyes were dark and heavy, as if he could see her through, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he still mustered up the courage, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Empress Zhu apologetically.

Empress Zhu withdrew her gaze from her, slowly swept around Princess Kang, Princess Changle, Aunt Hongsu and others, closed her eyes slightly, and whispered with a sigh: "Be careful in the future." Don't leave this hall for a few days. ”

Brother Xu Ying couldn't help it, this lie was only afraid that Empress Zhu had seen through it, and Empress Zhu was already keenly aware that she was in big trouble, so he ordered her not to leave Hanzhang Hall for the next few days. Looking at Princess Changle and Princess Kang again, they all looked worried.

Princess Changle tried to make Empress Zhu happy: "Didn't the queen mother say that there was something to reward the third daughter-in-law?" Take advantage of the spirit at this time, give her something, so as to suppress her shock. ”

Empress Zhu smiled: "Hongsu, you go and bring my rosewood box." ”

Less leaning, Aunt Hongsu took out a gold-covered rosewood box and came out, and joked while unlocking it: "Here are all Niangniang's treasures, and the Duchess of Nanguo is going to make a fortune." ”

When the box was opened, it was a six-layer jewelry box, and as soon as the lid was opened, it was spread out in layers, and the jewels, gems, gold and silver of the box were illuminated by the candlelight in the room. "You're all here to see, yes?" Empress Zhu beckoned her daughter and daughter-in-law to come over, smiled and picked out a peach blossom hairpin inlaid with pink crystal and inserted it into Brother Xu Ying's hair, and said lovingly: "This is what I wore when I was young, and I gave it to you." Seeing that Brother Xu Ying was about to open his mouth to excuse himself, he waved his hand: "Don't say much, you have worked hard these days, just take it for you." ”

Brother Xu Ying, thank you. Empress Zhu waved her hand a little tiredly, and Aunt Hongsu understood, and said, "Madame, thank you later, otherwise I don't know how many times I have to kneel." The same goes for Her Royal Highness and Princess. ”

Empress Zhu said in a low voice: "In this life, my family was ruined and displaced, but fortunately, the saint and I have supreme glory and a peaceful life." The food and clothing are the best in the world, and no one in this harem can match it. You are filial and considerate, and before I know it, I have saved countless treasures and jewelry. I picked out all of the boxes in this box, and you don't violate the rules when you use them on weekdays, you pick a few things you like, and the rest will be divided with the rest of the people who didn't enter the palace. ”

Princess Kang and Princess Changle were a little sad, and it was common for ordinary people to give jewelry to their juniors, but at this moment, Empress Zhu did it. Plainness gives people the feeling of explaining what happened later. didn't dare to sweep away Empress Zhu's interest, so they all made an interested appearance to pick things. When Empress Zhu saw Brother Xu Ying standing still, she took out a pair of jewel peony hairpins with silk inlay technology from the lower layer of the box, and handed it to Brother Xu Ying with a smile: "This is for you." It's still based on the patterns you sent in the other day, and the old craftsman your father sent in is really good. It's beautiful, it's not very heavy, and it's light. I really deserve a reward for you. ”

Brother Xu Ying was busy, and Empress Zhu instructed Princess Kang and Princess Changle to choose things. Seeing that her fingers trembled slightly, her breath became more and more rapid, and she knew that she couldn't hold it anymore. Hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, you are tired, it's time to rest." Why don't you hand it over to the princess and the princess to divide it, and then make a booklet and tell you tomorrow, what do you think? ”

Empress Zhu took a breath and said, "It's okay." Go down, you all. ”

Who is in the mood to share any jewelry at this time? Princess Kang said softly: "Queen Mother, let your daughter-in-law accompany you tonight?" ”

Empress Zhu said in a low voice: "Let Hongsu accompany me, I have something to say to her." You, recharge your batteries. ”

Everyone had no choice but to retreat first, and when they arrived outside, it was decided that Princess Kang would stay outside, and Princess Changle and Brother Xu Ying would go to rest first.

Brother Xu Ying returned to the room, and only then did he pack up the things that Empress Zhu had rewarded, and suddenly heard an unusual commotion outside, and vaguely heard someone shouting, and then there were many footsteps coming from around, so he was frightened, and hurriedly opened the door and went out to see. But seeing that the outside of the palace had calmed down, several eunuchs dragged a palace maid out like a sack.

Jingrong stood in front of the door, looked back at Brother Xu Ying, who was full of surprise, and said softly: "It's an eventful autumn, I'm afraid I will have no sleep tonight." ”

In this palace, it seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there is a hidden murderous intention, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes and poisonous fangs are hidden in this darkness. Brother Xu Ying thought of Zhang Yizheng, and couldn't help but wonder if he had already received the news that she was safe?

Ma Fulai, the eunuch of Hanzhang Palace, came over tremblingly, stopped in front of Brother Xu Ying, and said softly: "Duchess Nanguo, Niangniang summoned you to come over for questioning. ”

Empress Zhu has never been a tossing person, and she will not ask someone to call her after she has already arranged for her to rest. Brother Xu Ying suddenly had some bad feelings, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Manager Ma, what happened just now?" Does anyone dare to disobey the mother here? ”

Ma Fulai said sadly: "The cheap maid shouted something that shouldn't be said, and the mother wants to listen to the lady." He also said: "The old slave is really worried, the mother is not in good health, how can she help it?" ”

In this way, the palace maid is only afraid that she is about to shout out about the dirty thing, and there are indeed nails buried in this palace, and the other party has to be angry with Empress Zhu. Brother Xu Ying only felt that his chest was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.

With tears streaming down my face, today I can finally end the torture of working for 7 days in a row. I wish you all a happy long holiday,
