Xue Qiaoling half-leaned on the chaise longue, her slender and white fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, making an orderly and heavy 'dong dong' sound.

The lips stained with red lipstick opened lightly, and Xue Qiaoling's voice was extremely low and very soft, almost muttering to herself, "In this way, as long as you find out Ke Ling and order her to clarify this matter to the palace, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating." ”

The palace maid also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Seeing that her mother fell into contemplation again, for a while, the palace maid also had unspeakable anxiety.

Niangniang has always been resolute, but once she encounters something related to Xue Hainiang, she is hesitant and cowardly for no reason.

Rao is palace maid had already said that it was the best answer for her, but Xue Qiaoling was still frowning, and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense, "You say, with a scheming person like Xue Hainiang, how could he let the rumors spread wantonly without dealing with them...... If this palace really found out Ke Ling and ordered her to tell the truth, did she fall into Xue Hainiang's arms?"

"Niangniang-" The palace maid blurted out, "Niangniang, not to mention that this rumor may not be a bad thing for Xue Hainiang...... Do you think, what woman in the world would not dream of climbing up to the dragon and flying Huang Tengda, as you said, Xue Hainiang's city is so deep, how can she not know how to climb up with the trend. Niangniang, don't hesitate anymore, if you really miss this opportunity, when Xue Hainiang is on an equal footing with you, it will be really difficult for you to deal with her again. ”

Hit the nail on the head!

The palace maid's remarks can be said to have hit the most vulnerable part of Xue Qiaoling's heart.

Xue Qiaoling pondered for a moment, and finally flicked her sleeves like a superior and gave an order, "Okay, you give the order, and order the guards and eunuchs of Lijiaotang to go to ambush outside the Yangxin Palace, and once they see Keling when no one is around, they will capture her and send her to Lijiaotang." ”

——

Nourishing Heart Temple,

Xue Hainiang was hurriedly leaving from the pantry wrapped in a heavy and warm mink down, and there was already a thick snow outside, and the goose down boots stepped on the ground, which was a deep footprint.

Today, because Jiangnan has newly paid tribute to a batch of high-quality tea, Xue Hainiang was afraid that the palace maid in the pantry would not be quick enough to break things, so she came to supervise it in person. This busy, so busy that it was a moment in the morning, and it was already half the sky outside.

On the road, many palace people and palace maids cast strange glances - envy with contempt, mixed with a little fear.

The lips that had not been stained with lipstick were gently raised, and Xue Hainiang took in the strange stares cast by everyone along the way, but ignored them.

"These are all high-quality ambergris, the latest concoction of the incense shop, you can be careful with me, you bump and touch it is nothing, if you accidentally bump this spice, but ten heads can't resist it." The Qingyue and tactful female voice was extremely mean, and she reprimanded the lowly little palace maid like an order, and her arrogant appearance was not like a palace maid who was subordinate to others, but like a very powerful master.

Ke Ling's delicate and charming face came into view, and Xue Hainiang glanced away with a faint glance, and had no intention of greeting her.

"Yo, let me see who this is, isn't it the hot sea girl who has been in demand for a while? Why, it's so late, the emperor didn't let you stay in the side hall?"

The little palace maid holding the spice looked at each other, but no one knew what to do, so she had to stand in place tremblingly, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

Ke Ling and Xue Hainiang are both female officials serving in front of the palace, and the two are at the same level.

After a day of errand in front of the palace, Xue Hainiang was already mentally and physically exhausted, and had no intention of arguing with Ke Ling's lips and tongue, glanced at her lightly, turned sideways and planned to leave past her.

"Stop!" Ke Ling glared angrily, obviously not intending to let Xue Hainiang leave easily.

She stepped forward and stopped in front of Xue Hainiang, her beautiful apricot eyes were full of unconcealable jealousy, "In terms of qualifications, where can you beat me, I am not inferior to you in terms of beauty, in terms of talent and family background, I am also from a family of eunuchs, why, you have only been here for less than a year, and you have taken away the emperor's favor?"

Xue Hainiang saw that she couldn't move half a step further, so she raised her eyes to look at the girl in front of her who showed jealousy and unwillingness, but she had a good appearance, her apricot eyes seemed to be born with affection, the tips of her eyes were slightly raised, and her willow eyebrows were slender into her sideburns.

The corners of Xue Hainiang's lips were lightly raised, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed a provocative or contemptuous smile, "Since Miss Keling is in charge of spices, then it is good to take care of your spices, and talk about the monarch in vain, but Miss Ling knows what kind of crime she is? If Father-in-law De'an hears this, I am afraid that Miss Keling will have to suffer a little." ”

I thought that De'an would be suppressed, how could this Ling be a little afraid, but I never thought that she would listen to this, but became more and more aggressive. "Why? Want to sue De'an?"

Xue Hainiang subconsciously took a step back, raised her eyes to look at the angry girl in front of her, and smiled instead of being angry, "But Miss Ling's appearance, could it be...... You want to kill me here?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ke Ling really didn't move.

"If you don't have the guts to kill me here, why bother to spend time with me here. After that, he turned his head sideways and looked at the three or two palace maids who were already trembling on the side, "Although these girls are new, they are not sent to torture you like this, and this spice is not light, look at the hands of other people are shaking, why do you bother others." ”

When Ke Ling heard this, there was a slight struggle in her eyes.

"Useless things, even spices can't be held steadily, what's the use of raising you!" Ke Ling, who had nowhere to vent his anger, turned around and saw someone who could vent, and opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

When Xue Hainiang saw this, she knew that the matter could be regarded as revealed.

"I'll just look at it, how did you get to be played to death by those old spicy gingers in this harem that eats people and doesn't spit out bones......" But Ling didn't forget to curse at the end, and the unwillingness and jealousy revealed by the beautiful apricot eyes never dissipated.

With that, he turned around and left with hatred.

Xue Hainiang looked at her back for a long time, until the person had retreated half a foot behind her, and then she said quietly: "I also have to remind Miss Keling." I've walked a lot this night, and sooner or later I'm going to have to make a mistake. The voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to reach Ke Ling's ears without being heard by others.

Ke Ling's footsteps faltered, and when she turned around again, she saw that the slender and upright back had left in the opposite direction.

Besides, after she led the new palace maid to place the newly made spices one by one, she suddenly remembered that the clothes sent to the Huanyi Bureau yesterday had not been recovered, so she turned around and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
