On the same day, three o'clock.

The clear blue sky was stained with a hint of haze, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

Mingxi stumbled in, startled Liang Bai's soft hand, which was already tense on a thread, trembled, and the delicate purple sand hollow teacup shook, and the tea overflowed slightly.

Xue Hainiang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, picked up a silk handkerchief to wipe the tea stains that Liang Bairou had unintentionally stained, and said lightly: "What made you so panicked?"

The corners of Mingxi's lips lifted slightly, and a smile flashed over Shui Ling's eyes, "It's not a panic, it's just that this happened so that the slave maid was really surprised, for fear that it would be a moment late to report it to the little master......"

Before she could express her feelings, she was interrupted by the uneasy Liang Bairou in a low voice, "Don't just say something that doesn't matter, come quickly, what did you find out this time?"

Mingxi was busy, pouted, and said loudly: "I heard the accompanying father-in-law say that the little master Ma was neatly dressed and fell in front of the bed, and his face seemed to have something unsightly......"

Liang Bairou exclaimed, and her slender hand subconsciously covered her lips, "Something unseemly?" A streamer flashed between her beautiful eyes.

Mingxi lowered his head, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That father-in-law can't say how big or small, it's just that the face is temporarily unsightly, and after announcing the imperial doctor's entry for diagnosis and treatment, even Miss Xue Er was also placed in other rooms." ”

Xue Hainiang and Liang Bairou glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Xue Hainiang was silent for a while before she said, "You can be regarded as tired today, go back and wash up and rest." ”

Mingxi retreated.

Liang Bairou subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her palm, and her willow eyebrows tightened, "Hai Niang, you said, that horse jujube embroidery has an unsightly disease?"

Xue Hainiang saw that she was uneasy, and she also knew that she had always been timid, so she seemed to put her palm on the cold fingertips of her tightly twisted handkerchief, "It's useless to think too much, you're really tired today, go back and rest quickly." Eyes moved to the thin brocade cloak on her shoulder, although it was beautiful, but it was not conducive to keeping warm, "It is early spring today, although it is not as cold as the wax moon season, but this brocade cloak is really thinner, your body has always been weak, beware of the wind cold." ”

Liang Bairou chuckled, a little warmth between her eyebrows, "Let Hai Niang see the joke, I will definitely be careful in the future." She knows Hai Niang's intentions, if she catches the cold at this time, she is afraid that she will delay the palace election at that time, so that the gains of becoming a palace maid will outweigh the losses.

Liang Bairou didn't say much, said a word to rest early, and left.

It was night, the moon was scarce, and the birds were singing.

Xue Hainiang, who had already finished washing, was sitting in front of the dresser, the copper-yellow mirror clearly reflected her delicate face like a hibiscus out of the water, and her black hair was like silk, draped behind her.

Mingxi waited for Xue Hainiang to take a bath as usual, and then stepped forward to comb her black hair.

"You will go to Gu San's place for me to send a message later, and without alarming Chuxiu Palace, find out what happened to Ma Zao Embroidery today...... If you are embarrassed, don't act rashly. "It's not easy for Gu San to lie dormant here, if he alarms Chuxiu Palace and causes him to lose his life or be expelled from the palace, it will really outweigh the losses. 、

Mingxi enlisted, "Yes." She subconsciously moved her gaze to the bed that was lightly covered by the bed curtain, and said softly: "Do you want to tidy up the futon for Miss today?" When there was no one in private, she was still used to calling Xue Hainiang as Miss.

"No need, just rest when you've delivered the message. Xue Hainiang commanded lightly.

"Yes. ”

The next day, when Xue Hainiang woke up, it was almost dawn.

Lifted the futon and collapsed, called out "Mingxi" and walked to the dresser to wash.

Before he arrived, Mingxi pushed the door in.

"There's news from my father-in-law. ”

Mingxi was stunned, Liu Yemei frowned subconsciously, and she hesitated: "If the little master asked about the little master Ma, he didn't reveal the slightest rumor, but now Mingxi has found out a strange thing." ”

Xue Hainiang raised her eyelids lightly, and her obsidian-like eyes swept through a dark light, "What's the strange thing?"

When Mingxi heard this, he said slowly: "When I got up to wash today, I listened to the palace people of Chuxiu Palace talk about it, and before dawn today, a show girl was expelled from the palace ......."

Xue Hainiang's fingers that rubbed against each other in the rose petal water suddenly froze, and she was stunned for a moment, "Has the father-in-law in charge ever explained the reason?"

Mingxi still shook his head, "Don't say it's the reason for Daoming, it's that the show girl also secretly ordered the palace people to knock out the ...... when the sky was breaking dawn."

Hearing this, Xue Hainiang became more and more confused, the show girl is the concubine to be elected, no matter how high and powerful the father-in-law is, he is afraid and does not dare to touch the emperor's woman, can he be called like this, first, the show girl must know the unknown handle of the father-in-law, and second, it must be a high-ranking and powerful person secretly driven.

Obsidian-like eyes flashed in an instant.

"You secretly bribed some palace people to investigate, what is the identity of the palace maid who was expelled from the palace......? Even the slightest clue has to be reported to me one by one. After that, Xue Hainiang took off the golden hairpin with black hair and handed it to Mingxi, "This hairpin is for you, to buy the palace people of Chuxiu Palace, and it is such a secret thing, you must have to pay a lot of silver taels to pry their mouths open." ”

Mingxi took it and bowed his head slightly, "Little master, do you want the slave to serve you and dress?"

Xue Hainiang shook her head slightly, and after freshening up, she walked to the edge of the collapse and sat down, her thin shoulders were draped with a brocade cloak, and her plain clothes could not hide the exquisiteness of her figure.

"No need, the wind has been tight lately, so you should be more careful. After that, he took the words next to the pillow and read it with taste.

Xue Hainiang's avoidance has been nearly a day.

The next day, Mingxi went to the imperial dining room on time to get food as usual. If it is as in the past, with the strength of Mingxi's feet, it will not take more than a quarter of an hour to go back and forth from Chuxiu Palace to the imperial dining room, but now, it is a full half an hour and has not returned.

Recently, because of the horse jujube embroidery, Chuxiu Palace has been uneasy, and there have been many speculations, and for a while, Hai Niang has a little apprehension in her heart.

She had no intention of flipping through the script in her hand, put the script aside casually, got up and pushed the door, and saw Mingxi coming with a meal.

Mingxi hurriedly quickened his pace, "Little master, it's windy outside, how can you stand in the wind when you are thinly dressed?" As he spoke, he pushed Xue Hainiang in, and he also entered the house, put the dinner on the square table, carried Xue Hainiang into the inner room, and took off the big that was resting on the screen and draped it on Hainiang's weakened shoulders.

"But what's wrong, why did you come back so late today?" Xue Hainiang frowned slightly, for fear that something would happen to Mingxi.

Mingxi shook her head gently, her apricot eyes flashed slightly, she led Hai Niang to sit down, and motioned for Hai Niang to attach her ear.
