The queen glanced at the concubines who were still bowing down below, "Sister Xian Fei will not let all the sisters get up again, I am afraid that no matter how good her body is, she will not be able to withstand such a view of Sister Xian Fei." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian turned her head proudly, pretending to be surprised and smiled: "What are you doing so politely, sisters, get up quickly." ”

Only then did the concubines dare to move their legs and feet, and sat back on their chairs.

Hua Qingrao sat back in place silently, Concubine Zhang Xian was determined to make things difficult for her.

Sure enough, she didn't sit for long, and Concubine Zhang Xian turned the topic to her and said: "Ying Jieyu is a blessing in disguise this time, this winter has not yet arrived, and the inner library will prepare the hand stove for you, which is really fine!" ”

"Yikes!" Xi Xiuyuan pretended to be surprised and shouted, "This hand stove is really exquisite, and the people in the inner library have really worked hard." ”

The queen glanced at her coldly, "Sister Ying is afraid of the cold, and it is their duty to supply the inner treasury in time." If Xi Xiuyuan is also afraid of the cold, the inner treasury will naturally be sent to your palace. Is Xi Xiuyuan afraid of the cold? ”

Xi Xiuyuan was severely reprimanded by this, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she lowered her head and said, "It's the concubine who lost her words." ”

The queen retracted her gaze, her face returned to her usual gentleness, and she casually raised her hand and took two sips of the teacup.

Hua Qingrao lowered her eyes, she knew that the queen was not talking for her, purely to give Concubine Zhang Xian a look.

Although he only reprimanded Xi Xiuyuan on the face, Xi Xiuyuan's words echoed Concubine Zhang Xian's words. This slapped Ying He's Xiuyuan in the face, which was naturally equivalent to slapping Concubine Zhang Xian's face.

Wen Zhaoyi raised her head and smiled: "Seeing Sister Ying return to the palace so safely, the concubines and other concubines are also relieved. ”

She paused, "If you want to say that my sister is a good fate, and if something like this happens, she can return safely alone, and everyone will pity her in every way." It's really the envy of my sisters! Recently, the concubines have heard that many concubines are shouting that they are also going to be robbed! ”

"Everything is the credit of the Changdi Ji, the concubine is just fortunate to be rescued by the Changdi Ji, otherwise even if she doesn't die at the hands of the gangsters, she will lose the carriage."

Hua Qingrao said, while glancing at Concubine Zhang Xian, Concubine Zhang Xian's face was flat, and there was nothing special about it.

Hua Qingrao said that the carriage matter, the harem concubines already know. Because the Queen Mother had already ordered a thorough investigation of the matter this morning, they also learned about such a big move through small channels.

As for what this small channel is, it is naturally this harem with vast magical powers.

It didn't take long for the queen to disperse and say goodbye. Hua Qingrao came out of the queen's Jingyang Hall and went straight to Hui Xiuyuan's Linhua Palace.

After the loss of power of the two masters, the Linhua Hall was depressed a lot.

Hua Qingrao didn't see a single chamberlain or palace maid from the time she entered the palace door to the front door of the main hall. And the fallen leaves on the ground along the way have accumulated thickly, and it looks like no one has cleaned them for a long time.

As soon as she pushed open the door of the main hall, she saw Mao Ziyi coming. He has lost a lot of weight during this period of time, and the days in the Linhua Hall can naturally be imagined.

Mao Ziyi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Hua Qingrao appear safely in front of him.

Although I had already heard that she was rescued by the eldest emperor Ji and returned to the palace last night, I still let go of my heart until I saw that she was safe and sound.

He stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "See Niangniang for your humble position." Niangniang is blessed with a great life and can turn danger into a disaster. ”

Hua Qingrao smiled, since returning to the palace, she has listened to countless words about her great fortune and great life. Only she knows that her survival is not just a blessing and a great life.

But he was the only one who said it sincerely. After all, in this harem, most people don't want her to come back alive.

"She left you behind?" She asked.

Mao Ziyi naturally understood who Hua Qingrao was talking about, and he glanced at the closed door of the dormitory with tenderness in his eyes.

Since her accident, the attitude shown by the Queen Mother has made her heart die. Proud, even if her life is bleak, she is unwilling to ask the Queen Mother for something.

But the only thing that made her let go of her pride was to keep him in the Linhua Palace. He didn't expect that at this point, she would still be able to consider his safety. Just this single point makes him unable to pay it back in his life.

"Yes, you can go in and persuade her. If she continues like this, her body will not be able to bear it. His face was undisguised distress.

Hua Qingrao looked at his expression, frowned, and asked lightly, "How long has it been since everyone came?" ”

Mao Ziyi heard her mention this person, his face seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "After returning to the palace, I only came a few times, and I didn't stay long before leaving." ”

There was annoyance in his expression, and he said angrily: "He is so ruthless, how can he be worthy of Hui..."

"Shut up! You can talk about it too! Hua Qingrao interrupted him sharply, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, lowered her voice and said harshly: "This Liang belongs to everyone, and it is easier for him to pinch you to death than to pinch an ant to death." Be careful with your words and deeds! Don't live up to Hui Xiuyuan's intentions! ”

Mao Ziyi replied with some unwillingness: "Yes." ”

Hua Qingrao didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and walked into the dormitory.

Even though it was an autumn day, the dormitory was dark and damp. All the windows were shut, covered with sheets, and only the missing gaps shone in the light.

Hua Qingrao's brows furrowed, and she walked to the side of the bed step by step.

There was a woman in plain clothes lying on the bed, her cheeks were already sunken and thin, her face was frighteningly pale, and her originally smart eyes were now confined.

If it weren't for her slightly heaving chest indicating that she was still alive, Hua Qingrao really felt that she was dead, because she was no different from dead at this moment.

Hua Qingrao's heart hurt like a pinprick, how could such a tall and gentle woman become like this?

She leaned over and apologized in Hui Xiuyuan's ear, "I'm sorry, I'm late." There was a distinct tremor in his voice.

Hui Xiuyuan's eyes moved imperceptibly, and a line of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Hua Qingrao straightened up, turned her head and instructed Xue Kite: "Go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of lighter porridge, and then go to the inner storage to get some basic items for daily use." As for their dereliction of duty these days, you know what to do. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." The snow kite turned and walked out quickly.

Hua Qingrao turned her head, Hui Xiuyuan had already opened her eyes, those eyes used to be like bright stars, but now they have lost their brilliance, like a lifeless dead lake.

"Why are you so cruel to yourself?"

Hui Xiuyuan stared at the veil above the bed in a daze, "It's not that I'm cruel to myself, it's that they're cruel to my children." ”

Hua Qingrao heard her voice hoarse, frowned and asked distressedly: "You are sick, you should find a doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine for you." ”

"I'm sick, not only sick, but crazy." Hui Xiuyuan's eyes were full of despair, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, crying for a long time, and I have been waiting for this terrible palace for a long time." ”

"That day, he finally came."
