Kou Shu walked in to take a closer look, only to see a thin figure curled up in the corner with his back to him, fiddling with something on the ground, and his mouth kept reading.

Seeing the objects placed on the ground, Kou Shu's expression turned grim, and he couldn't help frowning: "It is a big crime to sacrifice privately in the palace, how dare you do such a thing?" ”

The slender body was frightened and shook violently. He turned his head and looked at Kou Shu in horror.

Kou Shu looked the girl in front of her up and down, about fourteen or fifteen years old, her eyes were full of panic and helplessness, like a frightened rabbit. Kou Shu couldn't help but soften her heart a little: "Who are you worshipping?" ”

Who thought that the girl opposite knelt down with a puff: "Ask my sister for mercy, my mother was wronged when she was alive, and Ripples just wanted to give her a good ride." ”

Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, thinking of her father, who was also not cold, but now she didn't even have the opportunity to burn a stack of paper money for her father. Kou Shu stepped forward slowly, squatted down gently, added a few pieces of paper money to the small fire, turned her head to the girl and said, "Your name is Ripples?" ”

The girl nodded, her eyes still timid.

Kou Shu continued: "Don't do such a thing in the future, this is the most taboo in the palace." After patting the dust on the hem of his skirt, he got up and was about to leave, walked a few steps, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Ripples, who are you in your room?" ”

Ripple was stunned: "I'm from the backyard Huanyi Palace." ”

Huanyi Palace is a place to wash clothes for everyone in the palace, without a master, it will be easy to do, Kou Shu nodded, and immediately returned to his dormitory.

Early the next morning, Kou Shu called Ripple to her.

Unexpectedly, it was the queen mother who met last night, Ripple's eyes widened, and she couldn't close her mouth in shock, and then she showed fear on her face.

Seeing the little maid in front of her so surprised, Kou Shu couldn't help but smile, her eyes were full of kindness: "You don't have to be afraid, I didn't look for you for last night", Kou Shu smiled, "I just asked you to ask you, would you like to leave the Huanyi Palace and come to serve me?" ”

In a place like Huanyi Palace, there are all kinds of people. He did the heaviest and hardest work, but he received the least amount of moonsilver. In comparison, it is much easier to serve the master, not to mention that in a place like Changle Palace, it is an errand that many people can't ask for.

Ripple thought that he was coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that it was a great good thing that fell on his head, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Kou Shu several times: "Queen Xie, Ripple is willing, Ripple is willing." ”

Kou Shu sat on a low stool with mahogany wisteria, looking at the ripples of joy on her face, which actually overlapped her with the peach blossoms in her mind. When the peach blossom followed her, it was smaller than a ripple, but her eyes were as clear and pure.

The Si people have passed away, and what I can do is to seek justice for them one by one.

In the Ningci Palace, the Queen Mother was slowly holding the Buddha beads in her hand and closing her eyes to recuperate.

The grandmother on the side stood respectfully, not gagging at all because the master was resting. The Queen Mother has always believed in the Buddha, the Buddha beads do not leave her hand every day, and she has breakfast, and she will definitely go to the Buddha Pavilion next to the dormitory to pay homage to the Buddha and pray for the prosperity of the country.

It's business as usual today.

Respectfully supported by Mama, the Queen Mother slowly stepped forward and knelt slightly on the nephrite futon in Phnom Penh. didn't wait for Mama to retreat, but she let out a soft voice: "Huh? ”

"The Queen Mother—" Mama stepped forward. Looking at the Buddha statue along the Queen Mother's finger, there was a large blue-purple stain on the Buddha statue, which was very conspicuous.

Buddha relies on gold clothing, and the most particular thing is to dress. This Buddha statue has been wiped by someone every day, and today there was such a big stain, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, bowed her head and dialed a few Buddha beads, and recited Amitabha Buddha a few times. The Queen Mother turned her head to Mama Meng and said:

"Mama Meng, go up and take a look."

Mama Meng nodded and stepped forward.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this stain seems to have been deliberately stained, and it can't be wiped off." Mama Meng's voice came from the side of the Buddha statue.

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold - who was so bold that she dared to do something on the Buddha? Slowly got up, said with a calm face: "Let all the high-grade concubines in the harem come to Ningci Palace in a quarter of an hour, I want to see who is so bold that they dare to touch the things of the mourning family!" ”

"This seems to be a trace of heavenly incense." Mama Meng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Heavenly incense?" The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, "What the hell did the queen do? ”

On this day, the incense is a rare smoked material paid by the Western Regions. In the palace, only he and the queen have a matching share, and because he is not used to smelling this strong and pungent incense, he has stopped using it a few months ago.

Not far away, the blue figure of a little girl flashed very quickly, rushing towards the direction of Changle Palace.

"Queen Mother-" The rippling voice came from afar, and it actually woke up Kou Shu's afternoon nap.

Kou Shu couldn't help but hold her forehead, this girl was too unruly, she stumbled around like this in her own palace, and couldn't help but look a little cold: "Ripples, what's wrong?" ”

"The Buddha statue of the Queen Mother is stained, and it is said that the sesame oil in our palace is burned." Ripples stumbled. She was not from a high background, and she couldn't tell what the smoked oil was, so she casually said sesame oil instead.

Kou Shu understood: "Where did you get the news?" ”

"The slave maid has a good sister who grew up together in the queen mother's palace, and when she heard the news, she immediately ran to tell the slave maid." Ripple replied honestly. After that, Ripple then gave Kou Shu an idea: "Niangniang, let's quickly destroy all the sesame oil in the palace, so that the Queen Mother will investigate it for a while, and there will be no evidence." ”

Kou Shu's cold face slowly showed warmth, this girl is also thinking about herself in everything, and now she actually comes up with ideas for herself - it's just that this method is really not very clever.

Shaking his head, Kou Shu said, "You don't have to destroy it." Just keep it at that. ”

Ripple was even more anxious: "Niangniang, Lian said that the sesame oil is only available in our palace, if it is really found, we will not be able to tell." ”

"Can't we find out, can we make it clear?" Kou Shu asked rhetorically, "In the entire palace, I am the only one who uses the heavenly incense, if it is destroyed now, not only will it not be able to wash away my suspicion, but it will also arouse more suspicion - if it really has nothing to do with me, why should I destroy it?" ”

Hearing this, Ripple pouted and frowned slightly: "That...... What should we do? ”

"The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, instead of panicking and preparing something now, it is better to go and see what tricks they have." Kou Shu raised her head, her tone full of confidence.
