There were not many charcoals sent by Zhao Yu, so he was afraid that too much would attract attention. Hua Qingrao took most of it and distributed it to Hui Xiuyuan.

With her appearance in the Chongzheng Palace, it won't be long before she can regain her favor, and then she will naturally no longer have to worry about the problem of fire coal.

Because Pang Xuan instructed Hui Xiuyuan to go out to ventilate, Hua Qingrao pulled her out of the Linhua Palace. The two of them held the hand stove and wandered in the snow step by step.

Hui Xiuyuan hasn't come out for a long time, and when she saw the white snow and red plum, her face looked much better and her smile increased.

Hua Qingrao retracted her gaze at the plum blossoms, and said lightly: "Concubine Zhang Xian killed two palace maids with a cane in the garden, so she was angry. ”

Hui Xiuyuan's face returned to her previous coldness, and she had now learned to restrain her hatred for Concubine Zhang Xian. She knew that if she wanted to bring down Concubine Zhang Xian, it would not happen overnight.

"Everyone ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, and it must have something to do with her."

Hua Qingrao showed a disdainful smile on her face, and turned her head to look at Hui Xiuyuan meaningfully: "Yes, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next." ”

Hui Xiuyuan lowered her eyes, she was not as happy as Hua Qingrao in her heart, but felt extremely desolate. thought that no matter how much she begged him to give her justice, he ignored it and let her child die in vain.

"It's still Concubine Zhang Xian's big face, and everyone will make an order when she cries."

Hua Qingrao listened to her voice, although it was extremely flat, she knew that her heart must be turbulent at this time. "The higher a person climbs, the worse he falls."

Hui Xiuyuan smiled and patted Hua Qingrao's shoulder, "Have you clarified the matter of your carriage and abduction?" Did she do it too? ”

"The matter of the carriage, after the Queen Mother ordered a thorough investigation, the chamberlain in Concubine Zhang Xian's palace secretly threw a bag of things into the cold palace. I sent someone to check the contents, and it was the same as the one that the horse was drugged that day. So I can be sure that the carriage is the hand and foot of Concubine Zhang Xian. ”

Hua Qingrao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "But whether the captive person is her or not, I have no way of knowing." After all, the news that the carriage was missing, if you want to spread it from the palace to the palace, and then arrange a killer to do it, it is really too tight. But I can't think of anyone else who would have a reason to do that to me. ”

"And is it coming at me? Why are there any concubines who are being taken captive with them? ”

After hearing this, Hui Xiuyuan's brows also furrowed, and there were really many doubts about this matter.

Looking at the entire harem, Han Guifei didn't care about the fight of the harem women at all; Concubine Jiang Chen has a weak personality, and she stays in the palace all the year round and does not go out; Wen Zhaoyi has always been tactful, and she has never heard of any festivals on weekdays;

Although Xi Xiuyuan said that all kinds of gossip news could not escape her ears, she had always been good at protecting herself; Shu Meiren is more delicate, and she is too frightened to do anything, so how can she have the courage to do this.

In this way, except for the concubines who have not had a holiday, only the queen and Li are talented, who are they all?

"I don't know who it is, but it's better to be careful." She pondered for a long time and said solemnly.

Hua Qingrao nodded in response, and the two walked all the way down the path. He hadn't gone far when there was a sudden noise ahead.

Hua Qingrao stepped forward quickly, took a closer look, and saw a child in a fancy costume who was losing his temper towards the serving chamberlain.

The child was not tall, his face was full of meat, and he still looked childish, but with his high-spirited, irritable and obedient appearance, he really couldn't tell that he was still a child.

Just as Hua Qingrao was watching, he suddenly picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the head of the waiter.

Hua Qingrao subconsciously exclaimed, and just wanted to shout "get out of the way", but it was too late.

The stone happened to hit the head of the waiter impartially, and the strength of the child's hand was not small, and with just one blow, the head of the waiter was smashed, and the blood flowed down immediately.

Hua Qingrao's face instantly became gloomy, she was just a child, how could she be so violent and treat human life like a mustard. As soon as she wanted to step forward, she was stopped by Hui Xiuyuan on the side.

Hui Xiuyuan looked at the waiter who was still kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy not far away, even though his head was bleeding, and said softly: "That waiter is only smashed in the head now, if you stand up for him today, I'm afraid he won't even die." ”

Hua Qingrao's eyes trembled, and her originally indignant heart seemed to have been poured cold water on her. She saw that the waiter didn't dare to cover her head and followed the child, and walked away step by step.

"Who is this kid?" She asked, frowning.

Hui Xiuyuan retracted her gaze and said lightly: "This is everyone's eldest son Zhao Chen, whose mother is Concubine Jiang Chen. ”

When Hua Qingrao heard Concubine Jiang Chen, her brows were even more furrowed. Even the eldest son of the emperor is pampered in everything, but according to Concubine Jiang Chen's weak temperament, the children raised should not be like this.

Hui Xiuyuan looked at her puzzled appearance, guessed what she was thinking, and explained: "After Concubine Jiang Chen gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, her body became extremely weak, so that she could not raise the emperor's eldest son, so everyone asked the queen, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, to raise it on her behalf. ”

She paused for a moment, and added: "The queen treats Zhao Chen as if she were her own, and she has been meticulous since she was born, and she is even better than the treatment of the crown prince." ”

Hua Qingrao's heart suddenly understood, this Concubine Jiang Chen can be said to be lucky, or it can be said to be unlucky. Although she was fortunate to give birth to the emperor's eldest son, she touched the queen's bottom line, and she was sick for many years and couldn't get out of the palace.

At the same time, if it weren't for her temperament, which was not a threat to the queen, I am afraid that the chance of living until now is very small.

"The queen mother raised the eldest son really well." She curled the corners of her mouth and said word by word.

Hui Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and sighed.

The queen asked everyone to follow Zhao Chen, and everything good was sent to him. On the contrary, the queen's own son, the crown prince, is strict in everything, and even daily necessities are as frugal as possible.

On the surface, the queen is an impeccable mother-in-law, but the sinister intentions in it really make people tremble.

"Let's go." She said.

Hua Qingrao nodded slowly, raised her steps and walked forward again.

When he walked to the pavilion of Taiye Pool, he suddenly saw a group of concubines in the pavilion talking and laughing, and from time to time they let out a few crisp and pleasant laughs.

When Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan looked at them, they also happened to see Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan.

One of them, Xi Xiuyuan, was stunned when he saw Hui Xiuyuan's delicate face. She heard that this Hui Xiuyuan gradually recovered, but she didn't expect to recover so quickly.

Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan glanced at each other and walked over.

Hua Qingrao glanced at the people in the pavilion and said with a smile: "What are you happy about, girls?" ”

Xi Xiuyuan shook his senses, a smile appeared on his face again, he glanced at Hui Xiuyuan, and said with a smile: "Hui Xiuyuan is really recovering well." ”

Hui Xiuyuan smiled faintly at her, and said in a cold voice, "It's Sister Ying who takes care of it." ”

Xi Xiuyuan laughed dryly, pointed to the still empty seat and said, "Sit down." ”

After Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan sat down, the other concubines begged her to continue talking about the previous incident.

Xi Xiuyuan patted his head with his hand, frowned and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

One of the concubines reminded with a smile: "Speaking of which, Prince Mu recently fell in love with a top-ranked girl in Cuihuanlou. ”
