Chapter 17 Let the Incident Ferment Slowly
For the next six days, Concubine Jing was no different from her usual day, except that she closed her door after dinner. Su Xin sent all the palace maids to serve Concubine Jing in the dormitory in person, and never left all night.
For the first three days, Song Anhao would get up in the middle of the night every day, sneak quietly to the vicinity of the dormitory, and wait until he was sure that he smelled the smell of burning incense and candles before tiptoeing away.
Of course, in addition to making sure that Concubine Jing worships the jade beauty every night, Song Anhao also found out very "coincidentally" that it was not only her who was secretly observing Concubine Jing's bedroom, but also Ruolan.
It's just that on the fourth night, Song Anhao no longer sneaked out in the middle of the night to check, but slept peacefully.
Because she had already determined that Concubine Jing's private memorial service would not be discovered until the seventh night, so you should be safe for the rest of the night, and it just so happened that she could make up for sleep and recuperate enough to deal with the next tough battle.
But Ruolan obviously didn't have Song An's good wit, and still squatted outside Concubine Jing's bedroom all night long. One night was fine, but it was really hard to sleep for several nights.
However, as soon as she remembered the promise she solemnly made when she reported the news to Concubine Hui, she was like a chicken blood and full of energy.
It's a pity that although the promise is very tempting, after all, staying up all night is too hurtful, and after a few nights, Ruolan's dark circles are already very obvious, and the bruise on her forehead has not been healed, which will presumably leave a permanent scar.
And the witty Song Anhao is different, the two were injured in the same part at almost the same time, but the scar on her forehead has completely recovered, and there is no scar left.
Six days passed, and it was the crucial seventh day.
Early this morning, Song An got up very early, and when he came out of the house after washing, he found that the weather was not very good.
She stood under the eaves, raised her head and looked at the oppressive sky, the sky was dark as if it would usher in a torrential rain at any time, which made people's mood depressed.
It's really strange, could it be that even God knows that something bad will happen tonight, so the good weather that has been sunny for a long time has changed the sky today.
She stood silently for a while, then went to the flower room to help Xiao Liangzi trim the flowers and plants.
In fact, she is really an amateur when it comes to serving flowers and plants, but compared with serving people, she still thinks that it is better to serve all kinds of flowers and plants.
Xiao Liangzi is a warm-hearted person, and often when pruning the branches and leaves of a certain pot of flowers, he popularizes all kinds of knowledge about this pot of flowers to Song Anhao while pruning.
Song Anhao listened with a smile, nodded from time to time, and occasionally echoed a few sentences, looking like a very serious listener, but in fact, his mind didn't know where to fly for a long time.
This can't be blamed on her, how can she calm down when she thinks of what is about to happen tonight?
Seeing that Concubine Jing was about to encounter the biggest catastrophe in her life, she couldn't tell anyone, let alone ask for anyone's help, and she was very depressed when she thought about it.
If it weren't for the rules of the system, she wouldn't have to be as worried as she is now, she could have directly told Concubine Jing or Su Xin about it, but the system stipulated that she couldn't do anything that went against the original owner's design, otherwise she would be wiped out by the system.
Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing, don't blame me for being ruthless, I also want to save you, but I can't take myself in order to save you!
But don't worry, I'll do my best to help you......
"Good! What are you thinking?! Xiao Liangzi's voice came in his ears, interrupting Song Anhao's musings.
Song An came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Liangzi's dissatisfied expression, and smiled apologetically.
"Forget it, I've been stuffy in the flower room for two hours, and I think you're about to get stuffy," Xiao Liangzi shook his head helplessly: "You, go out and breathe!" ”
Song Anhao showed an embarrassed expression, "Wouldn't that leave you to work alone?" Aunt Su Xin said, let me help you! ”
Xiao Liangzi couldn't cry or laugh: "Then I want you to help!" ”
Song Anhao thought about it carefully, and found that he didn't seem to have helped him for the past two hours, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"Alright!" Seeing this, Xiao Liangzi laughed: "Before it rains, you go out to blow the wind, and when your drowsiness is gone, come and help me work!" ”
At this point, Xiao Liangzi has already shown his sincerity and kindness, and Song An is not good enough to insist anymore, and after thanking him, he walked out of the flower room.
However, she didn't really walk and blow the wind, but walked slowly along the promenade. She walked very slowly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she still looked empty.
Unconsciously, she walked farther and farther, and when she came back to her senses, she actually found that she had walked outside the door of Concubine Jing's dormitory at some point!
In this sensitive period, it's better to stay away from here.
Song An came back to her senses, and her first reaction was to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect that she had just turned around, and before she could take a step, there was a sudden "squeak" behind her, and the door of the dormitory opened!
"How is Song An?" A voice came from behind, familiar with a little vigilance.
Oops, it's plain! Coincidentally, it was discovered by Su Xin!
Song Anhao took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and smiled faintly at Su Xin, who was standing at the door of the dormitory: "Aunt Su Xin." ”
The door of the dormitory had been closed, leaving only a gap, and Su Xin stood in front of this gap, blocking everything in the dormitory.
Su Xin's face was a little tired, but his face was grim, he pulled the door knocker with one hand, looked at Song Anhao with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Why are you here?" ”
Song Anhao's brain was running rapidly, but he showed an innocent expression on the surface, and replied: "I'm just passing by, does Aunt Suxin have any instructions?" ”
Su Xin stared at her directly, as if considering the credibility of her words, and said after a while: "No." ”
Song Anhao understood that Su Xin had something in her heart, so she was so vigilant, knowing that she couldn't stay here for a long time, so as not to have any accidents in the future and go around her, so she hurriedly said: "Then I'll go back to the flower room and help Xiao Liangzi trim the flowers." ”
Su Xin nodded noncommittally.
Song An breathed a sigh of relief, turned around quickly, and planned to go back to the flower room again.
Unexpectedly, before he had walked a few steps, he was called by Su Xin again.
Song Anhao could only stop and turn around.
This time, Su Xin's expression was quite natural, and her voice softened a little: "Niangniang's body is a little weak, you go to the imperial dining room to ask for a cup of nourishing soup." ”
I didn't close my eyes for six nights in a row, even if I could make up for sleep during the day, but the energy that passed at night could be made up for casually? What's more, Concubine Jing is not young anymore, and the energy consumed is even more difficult to make up. In this way, it's no wonder that the body is not empty!
"......" Song Anhao blinked, and then reacted, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”
Seeing Song Anhao turn around and leave, and the figure disappeared, Su Xincai silently breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the door for a while, and scanned around with a vigilant gaze, and did not find anything unusual, then turned around and returned to the dormitory, and closed the door tightly.
……
In this way, Song Anhao came to the imperial dining room again.
Fortunately, the tonic soup is a common tonic in the imperial dining room, and this time Song Anhao didn't wait long under the eaves, and the little eunuch sent the boiled tonic soup out.
I hope that after Concubine Jing drinks this bowl of nourishing soup, her weak body can be stronger, and her heart's endurance can be stronger, so that she can face the coming calamity.
Because he thought that Concubine Jing was good to herself, Song Anhao wanted to give the nourishing soup to Concubine Jing as soon as possible, so she was in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, when passing by Fanghua Palace, she unexpectedly met Ruolan.
"Yo, Song Anhao, have you stewed bird's nest for Niangniang again?" This Ruolan came out of the oblique thorns, and was originally bored walking on the palace road, but who knew that she met the little palace maid who was not on the right path with her, so she immediately came to stir up trouble with great interest.
Song An took a good look at her and found that she was happy, and she didn't know what was going on. Shaking his head, he didn't speak, and continued to walk forward with the tray.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf or blind!" Ruolan was ignored, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she became angry, she took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Song Anhao, and snorted: "What's the matter, I'm in a hurry to tie up Concubine Jing, so I don't have time to deal with me?" ”
Song Anhao sighed, raised the tray in his hand a little higher, and motioned to her to look: "Aunt Ruolan, Niangniang is not feeling well, I am in a hurry to send her nourishing soup." ”
Ruolan lowered her eyelids and took a look, and found that it was really not bird's nest shark fin, but medicinal food, so she sneered: "Why is Niangniang uncomfortable again?" There are 365 days a year, but there are 360 days of discomfort. ”
This Ruolan is really anxious, the matter has not yet settled, she dares to mock her master in person.
Song An glanced at her quietly, then moved his gaze to Fanghua Palace not far behind her, and then said lightly: "Compared with Concubine Hui, Concubine Jing's body is indeed weaker. Am I right, Aunt Ruolan? ”
When Ruolan heard this, her face changed: "Song Anhao, what do you mean?" ”
Song An looked at her with an innocent expression: "I'll talk about it casually, why did my aunt react so much?" ”
Ruolan was choked by her rhetorical question, and her face became more and more ugly, "I don't know Concubine Hui Niangniang, I don't know if her health is good or not!" ”
"Oh, that's right." Song An nodded when he heard this, his eyes suddenly fell on Ruolan's eyes, and he said in surprise: "Hey, Aunt Ruolan, what's wrong with your eyes?" Why is it black all over the circle? ”
"Black?" When Ruolan heard this, she reflexively raised her hand and touched the surroundings of her eyes, and then realized that Song Anhao was referring to her dark circles, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak, and her momentum also lowered: "Oh, it may be that I have been suffering from insomnia recently and I haven't slept well, so I have dark circles under my eyes." ”
As he spoke, he felt that it was wrong, why did he have to explain so much to this low-level little palace maid? So he snorted angrily: "What's the matter with you? Let me tell you Song Anhao, you are just a lowest-ranking little palace maid in the palace, and it is best not to overstep your words and deeds, otherwise, you don't know how you died if you die! ”
Song Anhao lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.
Ruolan thought that she was showing her admitted, and couldn't help but feel proud. The words that Concubine Hui had said to herself in Fanghua Palace came to mind again.
"Ruolan, you did a good job this time. After tonight, this palace will definitely reward you! ”
Ruolan seems to have seen her future self, and her identity level has risen by two steps, and she will never worry about eating and drinking spicy food from now on.
Thinking of this, Ruolan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, when she finished her anger and came back to her senses, she found that Song Anhao had already passed her and walked straight forward.
Seeing Song Anhao's back leaving straight, Ruolan felt that she was completely despised, and couldn't help but be angry.
She is about to soar, but this little palace maid called Song Anhao still dares to go against her, hum, looking for death!
Ruolan rushed forward and deliberately slammed Song Anhao's shoulder.
With a "snap", Song An's good hand was knocked loose, and the tonic soup fell to the ground!
