Before she and Beiliuyun left the palace and went to Dongchang, she went to see Zhou Wang and asked Zhou Wang to advise Wang directly, and in return, she told Zhou Wang the way of immortality in this palace, balance.

Chu Luoyi carefully analyzed the candidates for the twenty-four yamen in the palace, and finally selected Huang Changsheng, the eunuch of the direct palace, with an accurate eye, and found the nightingale before leaving the palace.

"Please forward this letter to Grandpa Huang." She handed a letter to Nightingale that day.

Nightingale looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Why didn't you give it to him personally?" ”

Chu Luoyi said lightly: "I have my own reasons, as long as you do it, after the thing is done, he will not treat you badly." ”

The nightingale looked at the letter in her hand and said to the woman, who had suddenly become mysterious, "Good. ”

Chu Luoyi turned around and said, "I don't have to tell him who I am for the time being, I will look for him again when I need to." ”

Retracting her thoughts, Chu Luoyi gently turned the teacup in her hand, since she was named Concubine Luo, she sent Xiao Liuzi to contact the nightingale again, and indirectly contacted Gonggong Huang through the nightingale.

The letter handed to Huang Changsheng was written on several steps to gain Zhou Wang's trust, as long as she did what she said, plus Huang Changsheng's own conditions, in the end, Zhou Wang's opponent would definitely choose him.

After Xiao Liuzi sent the nightingale away, he couldn't help but say: "Master, you are really like a god, and Zhou Wang thought that he could control everything, but he didn't know that he was in the middle of it, this Huang Changsheng was a secret chess piece that the master buried early on." ”

Chu Luoyi said: "It's not a secret chess, it can only be said that interests drive people's hearts, Zhou Wang created an illusion of fighting against Huang Changsheng in order to achieve a balance, but in fact, he is alone, and now Huang Changsheng's power is almost equal to him, how can he really be willing to listen to him everywhere." ”

Xiao Liuzi nodded and said: "Especially at the beginning, this Huang Changsheng was not really obedient to Zhou Wang, and he was able to gain Zhou Wang's trust or rely on the master's means, but the slave always had something unclear, why didn't the master tell this Huang Changsheng who was secretly helping him before?" ”

"He is now the head of the twelve chamberlains, if I am just a little palace maid, do you think he will take my kindness seriously?" Chu Luoyi asked rhetorically.

Xiao Liuzi was thoughtful, but he was convinced: "The master is smart, and now the master is Your Majesty's favorite concubine, I am afraid that he not only cares about the master's kindness, but also wants to befriend the master and seek greater benefits." ”

Chu Luoyi said softly: "In the palace, no one is clean, maybe only the dead can escape." ”

Not clean, not because it is dirty, but because it wants to live, and when many choices are contrary to survival, more people will follow the instinct to survive, after all, not everyone will have the courage to sacrifice their lives.

Xiao Liuzi remembered everything Chu Luoyi said, and he only felt that he had benefited a lot from these days by her side.

After a few days, I arrived at Laba, because it was only a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, so there was no separate palace banquet in the palace, but the imperial dining room carefully cooked a lot of Laba porridge to please the masters.

In Luoyue Palace, Chu Luoyi was fiddling with an embroidery in front of the table, and Xiao Liuzi hurriedly came in and whispered: "Master, the emperor is coming in the direction of our palace." ”

Chu Luoyi nodded and said, "What's the news from Hanlu Palace?" ”

"Huang Changsheng sent news that he would do it today."

Seeing this, Chu Luoyi said, "Let's go, go to Hanlu Palace." ”

The gold bracelet brought a colorful coat, helped Chu Luoyi to drape it on his body, and the silver ring carried a lamp in front of him, and a group of seven or eight people set off from Hanlu Palace to Hanlu Palace, where Concubine Yuan was located.

Not long after a few people left, Emperor Beiyan came, holding the stove in his hand, looking at the empty Luoyue Palace and saying, "Where is Concubine Luo?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang has nothing to do, so I went to Hanlu Palace to visit Concubine Yuan." A minion spoke.

"That's it.." Emperor Beiyan frowned slightly.

The prince on the side said openly: "Your Majesty, do you want to drive Hanlu Palace." ”

"Let's go, let's go to Hanlu Palace, I haven't seen Concubine Yuan for a few days, and I don't know if my emperor has made trouble with her mother?" Emperor Beiyan said with a smile.

The prince complimented: "His Royal Highness the prince must be alive and well, like Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Beiyan smiled: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Perhaps because he knew that he would not have any more heirs in the future, Emperor Beiyan, who had calmed down, had different feelings for the last heir who was still in the womb.

Although Concubine Yuan has not been able to attract the attention of Emperor Beiyan, but the child in the belly has indeed been valued by Emperor Beiyan, if there is any good material on weekdays, he will not forget Concubine Yuan, and even Emperor Beiyan will occasionally visit the queen in the grounding recently, facing the princess that the queen gave birth to last year, I like it very much.

The group moved from Luoyue Palace to Hanlu Palace, stopping the spread of the minions, and Emperor Beiyan lifted the curtain and walked in alone.

"Sister Concubine Luo is really a blessing, Your Majesty loves you so much, it is really enviable." Concubine Yuan's words were not without envy.

Chu Luoyi said with a smile: "Sister, where is this, I heard that my sister was also favored back then, and Your Majesty doted on my sister, who in this palace I don't know." ”

Concubine Yuan's face was a little unnatural, and she always felt that Chu Luoyi seemed to be saying that although she was once favored, she was just yesterday's yellow flower.

"No matter how much you love, it's just the past, and now you can't compare with your sister." Yuan Fei said.

Chu Luoyi said with a smile: "My sister is now pregnant with a body, and she is really enviable in His Majesty's psychology." ”

A trace of panic flashed in Concubine Yuan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, and said while stroking her stomach with one hand: "Your Majesty likes children very much, as long as I can give birth to a son and a half daughter for Your Majesty, I will be content." ”

Chu Luoyi opened the basket in his hand and took out two bowls of carefully boiled laba porridge and some pastries.

Concubine Yuan's expression moved slightly, and she saw Chu Luoyi smile and said: "This is my sister specially asked the imperial dining room to boil according to the method of ingredients, plum blossoms are added to it, and the sweetness is clear, and I won't feel too sweet and greasy. ”

Concubine Yuan smiled at Chu Luoyi, but she thought in her heart, could it be that Chu Luoyi started the idea of the child in her belly, and wanted to use this to kill her own child?

Chu Luoyi pushed the gold-glazed porcelain bowl in front of Concubine Yuan: "It's still warm now, if my sister doesn't dislike it, let's try it." ”

Concubine Yuan made a somewhat embarrassed look, looked at the Laba porridge in front of her and hesitated, and did not make a move.

Chu Luoyi asked: "Sister, but I don't like this laba porridge to my stomach?" ”

Concubine Yuan's gaze fell on Chu Luoyi, carefully examining the woman's expression, and finally caught a trace of expectation and anxiety in the woman's eyes.

Concubine Yuan's mind moved slightly, her pregnancy was fake, and it was impossible to have children, it was she who saw that her status was not guaranteed, so she begged her father to buy off two imperial doctors, so she hid from the world, pretended to be pregnant with a dragon heir, and stabilized her position.

Looking at Chu Luoyi's appearance now, it seems that she is planning to beat her child and make herself lose her support, it seems that she was aware of the last time, and knew that the note was put by her, and now that the frame has not been completed, she wants to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

A touch of ruthlessness flashed between his eyebrows, since this is the case, it is better to plan and see who will kill the deer in the end!

Concubine Yuan's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Sister, where is this, my sister has always been smart, presumably the taste of this laba porridge must be very different." ”

Seeing this, Chu Luoyi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and did not forget to urge Concubine Yuan: "Then sister, taste it quickly, if it is cold, the taste will be greatly reduced." ”

Seeing this, Concubine Yuan tasted a few bites, looked up and saw Chu Luoyi staring at her all the time, sneered in her heart, but ate a few more bites, and then wiped her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand and smiled: "The taste is really good, or my sister is clever." ”

Chu Luoyi breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Yuan quietly gestured to the henchman beside her, and after a while, the henchman came to her senses and found an excuse to retreat.

Chu Luoyi saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't ask much.

Emperor Beiyan then walked in and said, "What are the two concubines eating?" I smelled the aroma from afar. ”

The two got up one after another, wanting to say hello, Emperor Beiyan waved his hand, let the two sit down, and his eyes fell on the laba porridge and pastries on the table and said: "This doesn't seem to be made by the imperial dining room, it looks a little different?" ”

Concubine Yuan couldn't help but applaud in her heart, she couldn't imagine that even God would help her and let Emperor Beiyan appear at this time!

"This is the recipe provided by Sister Luofei, and the imperial dining room follows the steps." Concubine Yuan opened her mouth to explain.

Emperor Beiyan picked up a piece of horseshoe cake and took it to the entrance, only to feel that it was sweet and delicious with a hint of coolness, and it melted in the mouth, which was very comfortable, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "The taste is really good." ”

Then, Emperor Beiyan's words changed: "Concubine Luo, you are really eccentric, you have good things to send to Concubine Yuan, and you are reluctant to share them with me." ”

Chu Luoyi chuckled: "The concubine just wants His Majesty to eat the delicacies of the mountains, and may not be able to look at this unpopular thing, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous, if she knew that Your Majesty liked it, the concubine would definitely use this to invite favor." ”

Emperor Beiyan smiled: "The heart is not sincere! ”

Concubine Yuan and Chu Luoyi sat on both sides of Emperor Beiyan, and Emperor Beiyan said to himself: "But it's time to change the taste of this imperial dining room, and I don't know how to bring forth the new, and the things that have been in place for so many years have not been new, no wonder I have to work hard to study the recipes myself." ”

"Your Majesty, where is this, the concubine is just idle and looking for something to pass the time." Chu Luoyi said.

At this time, the pink-clothed palace maid who went out next to Concubine Yuan walked in with a pot of hot tea.

The palace maid put the hot tea on the round table, and Concubine Yuan hurriedly got up and poured tea for a few people in person: "This is the dew collected by the concubine in the summer, Your Majesty and Concubine Luo's sister taste it." ”

At the moment when Concubine Yuan got up, the pink-clothed palace maid seemed to have accidentally dropped something on Concubine Yuan's chair, and when she took a step back, Concubine Yuan happened to sit down.

The two chatted with Emperor Beiyan, Concubine Yuan held the hot tea in her hand, and it didn't take long for her to drink two cups, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose.

"Sure enough, it's the nectar of summer, and it tastes..."

"Ahh Before Emperor Beiyan's words were finished, he only heard a scream, followed by the sound of the cup falling to the ground, and Concubine Yuan held her stomach tightly with one hand, looking pained, as if she was enduring great pain.

"What's wrong with Aifei?" Emperor Beiyan frowned and looked at Concubine Yuan, who was arched.
