Chapter 156: The Tree Blown by the Wind

When Mao Ziyi saw her turn away, he suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head with annoyance.

Was his behavior a little too casual just now? Would she think he was a frivolous person? Will she transfer him out of the Linhua Palace? How will he see her then?

For a while, many worries came to his mind, making him instantly restless.

Things weren't as bad as he thought, and the next day Hui Xiuyuan treated him like he had done the same as before as if nothing had happened last night.

Hui Xiuyuan had lunch and wanted to take two breaths in the yard, but suddenly found that an osmanthus tree in the yard was crooked overnight. Mao Ziyi and a few attendants were surrounding it, busy digging out the part that was left in the soil.

The palace maid who followed her hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, this tree was probably blown crooked by the wind last night." The slave was afraid that Niangniang would know and worry, so she didn't tell Niangniang about it. โ€

Hui Xiuyuan glanced at the tree, which really didn't look like it was blown crooked by the wind, not to mention that the wind was not strong last night, but said that if a deep-rooted tree was blown crooked, how strong the wind would be.

She glanced at the palace maid and said coldly: "No matter what happens next time, report to the throne first and then act." โ€

The palace maid lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong." โ€

She paused for a moment, and then said: "The Queen Mother ordered to plant a pomegranate tree here, not only to enjoy the flowers in the spring, but also to eat the fruits in the autumn, and this means that it is okay..."

She looked up at Hui Xiuyuan's cold eyes, and suddenly realized that she had said too much, so she was busy talking.

Hui Xiuyuan naturally knows the meaning of this pomegranate, many sons and many blessings. Since the slippery tire, the Queen Mother has felt a little sorry for her. Seeing that she let go of her knot and went to visit, he was doubly good to her than before.

The palace maids in this palace have been replaced by new ones by the Queen Mother, but even if these palace people wait for her finely, they still listen to the Queen Mother's words in their hearts.

"Go and help the main position to get a hand stove in the temple." She commanded.

Seeing that she did not punish herself, the palace maid suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and did not dare to slack off again, so she hurriedly turned around and ran to the palace.

The osmanthus tree has been dug up by Mao Ziyi and them, and at this time, Mao Ziyi is discussing with a few attendants how to lift the tree out of the pit.

They wrapped their arms around the osmanthus tree, shouted the slogan of one, two, three in unison, and violently pushed upward, and the osmanthus tree rose in the air. They all blushed, winked at each other, moved the osmanthus tree to the clearing, and let go of their hands at the same time.

There was a muffled sound, and the osmanthus tree was thrown to the ground by acquaintance.

Hui Xiuyuan's gaze moved from the osmanthus tree to Mao Ziyi's face, he was sweating profusely at this time, and the beads of sweat on his face flowed wantonly on his wheat-colored skin, sliding down his angular cheeks, sliding across his Adam's apple, and soaking in his clothes.

He spotted her gaze, and turned his head to meet each other without hesitation, the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal his white teeth.

"Mother, your hand stove." The palace maid carefully handed the hand stove to Hui Xiuyuan.

Hui Xiuyuan instantly shook her senses, looked sideways from her gaze, took the hand stove and responded, "Okay." โ€

Then the chamberlain prepared to clear the original tree pit and plant the pomegranate tree in it. They dug and dug up, and suddenly a black thing fell from the soil at the edge.

The attendants were all startled, and one of them took it out of the pit and patted the dirt on it with his hand, revealing its original brown color. The chamberlain didn't know about it, he looked down and sniffed it, and suddenly exclaimed, "It smells so good!" โ€

This sentence alarmed Hui Xiuyuan, she walked over quickly, looked at it for a while, and said in disbelief: "Is this... Musk. โ€

The people around were shocked when they heard this, although they had never seen musk, they had always heard of the harm of musk in this deep palace.

Mao Ziyi looked at Hui Xiuyuan's somewhat shocked expression, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, are you sure this is musk?" โ€

Hui Xiuyuan's body staggered, and the palace maid behind her quickly helped her. She felt like she couldn't breathe in her chest, and her hands kept caressing her chest. "I've read it in a book."

"Where did you find this musk?" She asked, in a loud voice.

Seeing her like this, the chamberlain didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "This musk is buried under this osmanthus tree." โ€

Hui Xiuyuan turned her head to look at the stone table not far away, when she was first pregnant with the dragon heir, she always liked to play chess and read books on the stone table, and then in winter, she was not there. Counting the time, it is more than 3 months.

It's really a vicious heart, and she calculates her daily routine. It just so happened that it was the time when the osmanthus was in bloom, and the rich smell of the osmanthus covered the musk, and even the most sensitive nose would not notice it.

Mao Ziyi's eyes were fixed on her body, and he didn't dare to leave for a moment. He didn't know if she would be able to withstand such a cruel truth again.

Hui Xiuyuan struggled to stabilize her body, and she told herself that she couldn't fall down at this time. She turned to Mao Ziyi and said, "You go to the Tai Hospital and invite Dr. Pang Tai, who diagnoses the pulse of the base every day." โ€

Mao Ziyi glanced at her worriedly, and saw that although her face was a little pale, her overall state was fine, so he said with confidence: "Yes, let's go here." โ€

ยทยทยทยทยท

Zhao Xuan is busy with government affairs in the Chongzheng Palace, and in recent days, he has quietly dealt with many officials with relatively low official positions, and replaced some officials who are hostile to Zhang Taishi.

In the court, he treated Taishi Zhang more favorably than before, in order to stabilize him.

"Everyone!" Ding Zhen hurriedly walked in, he saw that Zhao Xuan was dealing with government affairs, so he slowed down his pace, and said in a regular manner: "Everyone, the little one has something important to report." โ€

Zhao Xuan didn't even raise his head, and continued to flip through the folds in his hand. "What's so hot?"

Ding Zhen swallowed his saliva, relieved his breath and said, "Everyone, when the guards were patrolling, they caught a sneaky palace maid near the cold palace. โ€

Zhao Xuan put down the fold in his hand, looked up and said with some displeasure: "Why is the sneaky palace maid so anxious to report to me, and this matter will be handed over to the queen to find out." โ€

Ding Zhen saw that Zhao Xuan's face sank, and hurriedly explained: "Everyone, a large amount of musk was found on this palace maid. The little one thought that it might be related to Hui Xiuyuan's slippery tire, so he came to report to everyone in a hurry. โ€

When Zhao Xuan heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Where are the people?" Bring someone here! โ€

The corners of Ding Zhen's mouth hooked slightly on his drooping face, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, the small one will bring people to everyone." โ€

He turned and went out a short time, and two guards walked in with a shivering maid with her hair in a loose bun.

Ding Zhen walked up to Zhao Xuan, bent down and respectfully pointed at the palace maid and said, "Everyone, it's her." โ€

Zhao Xuan glanced at the palace maid and said coldly, "What about musk?" โ€

Ding Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, took a small package from a guard, and carefully placed it on Zhao Xuan's table. "Everyone, here we are."

Zhao Xuan picked up the burden with his fingers, and the burden was just halfway opened, and the aroma of musk had already drilled out. When he opened it completely, the musk inside was clearly displayed in front of him.

Although these musks are not too big, there are quite a lot of them. If you add it up, the price is not something that a small palace maid can afford.
