Liang Bairou stretched a pair of delicate white and delicate soft wattles into the copper basin and rubbed them repeatedly for a long time. Until the cold hands gradually returned to warmth.

My heart is still trembling.

She still can't believe it. How did Xue Hainiang calculate everyone's minds so accurately. She clearly rarely intersected with the people in the harem, except for Xue Qiaoling, she didn't even know much about the other two, but she miraculously calculated their thoughts and the next step.

According to Xue Hainiang, it was the palace maid who entrusted her to support the heart palace and secretly delivered the news to Ma Zaoxiu.

And the maidservant who chews the root of her tongue in Meimei Estate has nothing to do with her.

Even Concubine Liu Shufei would have made a conciliatory voice at that time...... are all in Xue Hainiang's calculations.

She didn't even play a part in it.

But he can clearly and accurately calculate the direction of one ring after another.

Liang Bairou sincerely recognized how deep her mind was over the years, this woman who was commensurate with her sister.

Fortunately......

Fortunately, she is still in the same boat as her.

Otherwise, this would be a formidable opponent, or even a silent defeat that could destroy itself.

The light of the eyes is gone, and the eyes are as beautiful as a clear light.

In the deep winter night, the cold wind is biting, and the taste of it cannot be described unless you have experienced it yourself.

Rao has always hated Xue Hainiang, who was busy working outside in a cumbersome and heavy mink velvet, and now she has to wear it honestly, carrying a lantern, and walking on the bluestone slab road in the palace.

With the dim light, Xue Hainiang tilted her head slightly, and she could see a palace in the distance with palace lights like day, and the plaque hanging high was powerfully engraved with the words 'Chonghua Palace'.

Xue Hainiang's lips rose, drawing a shallow arc. But he walked in the opposite direction.

Lijiaotang,

Xue Qiaoling's clothes have not faded, she is still wearing the day to enjoy the scenery of Mei Estate, at this moment, she should be sleeping in the inner hall, but she is like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Until a palace maid outside the hall walked in quickly and bowed to Xue Qiaoling.

"Concubine Xian. ”

Xue Qiaoling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How's the inquiry?"

The palace maid hurriedly spoke: "I have inquired, the palace maid who has been to work in the plum village today has nothing to do with the Chonghua Palace, and Xue Hainiang, it seems that it is pure coincidence." ”

Is it pure coincidence......

Xue Qiaoling lowered her eyes and pondered, rubbed her chin with her fingertips for a long time, and then asked: "By the way, this palace ordered you to send people to squat near the Chonghua Palace, how did you do this?"

The palace maid said again: "The slave and maid naturally dare not slack off on the things that the mother ordered. After you returned to the palace this morning, the slave maid instructed the eunuchs to watch among the eunuchs, and only then did a group of people come back and forth, saying that they saw Xue Hainiang passing by the Chonghua Palace at three o'clock......"

Xue Qiaoling's beautiful eyes were slightly deep, and her tone was questioning, "Just passing by?"

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Yes." The slave and maid would not be wrong when they told the people who went to the camp, they were very sure, they were just passing by. ”

Rao is answer that should have reassured her, but Xue Qiaoling was still thoughtful and uneasy, "Is it really a coincidence?" she pondered for a long time, and then asked, "That...... How well did you investigate the rumors?"

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly showed an anxious and distressed look, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this rumor is not nonsense, the slave maid went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to inquire for a long time." Although the emperor has never summoned Xue Hainiang to sleep, in fact, Xue Hainiang has a more sacred heart than other female officials. In such a situation, if the emperor has intentions for Xue Hainiang, it is impossible to ......"

Xue Qiaoling was frightened when she heard this, she staggered back a few steps and sat down on the chaise longue.

"No, she must not be favored by the emperor. Xue Qiaoling almost roared, subconsciously, she was very jealous of Xue Hainiang's canonization.

When she was in Xue Mansion, she fought with herself everywhere, robbed everywhere, the favor of her father and grandmother, and the aura of Miss Xue Mansion.

Now that she has entered the palace, she has done everything possible to climb the emperor, and she has been favored to give birth to the emperor's heir, just to be able to be a head taller than her now, raising her eyebrows.

After a long time, the palace maid saw that her master seemed to be slightly relieved, and then asked cautiously, "Niangniang, how are you going to deal with it?"

Xue Qiaoling came back to her senses for a while, her voice was so low that she almost muttered to herself, "Since this matter is caused by rumors, then the best way ......" paused, her dull eyes still lit up like a light, "There are female officials in the harem who have damaged their reputation because of rumors, how can this palace sit idly by." Since there are people chasing the wind behind the scenes, this palace should catch this person who corrupts the atmosphere of the harem. ”

As soon as the rumors stop, even if the emperor really has the intention to make the fake come true, he will have scruples because of the royal face.

The next day, Xue Hainiang got up as usual, freshened up, put on a cloak, and then went to the pantry, prepared special snacks and Nan Jiuxi's favorite tea, and then went to the imperial study.

Nan Jiuxi went down to the early court, and I don't know which concubine to go to for breakfast, and he hasn't come back yet, and there are still mountains of notebooks on the case.

Xue Hainiang put down the tea, and hurriedly instructed the palace maid to go to the pantry to inform her, and quickly remake a dim sum and recook a pot of tea for preparation, in case Nan Jiuxi could drink a cup of hot tea when he returned.

About half an hour later, Xue Hainiang finally saw the bright yellow figure, he walked over, and followed by De'an hurriedly took the cloak he took off casually.

Nan Jiuxi walked into the hall, saw Xue Hainiang who was waiting on the side, just glanced at her faintly, and then walked to the high Taishi chair, lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.

Seeing this, Dean held his cloak and served at his side.

Nan Jiuxi did not come to review the transcript as usual, but today, contrary to his character, he took out a thin wolf pen from the Yamagata pen holder, and De'an hurriedly stepped forward to sharpen the ink for him.

Nan Jiuxi didn't look up, but only commanded lightly, "Xuan paper." ”

Xue Hainiang was stunned, and when she lowered her head, she saw De'an giving her a gesture.

Xue Hainiang hurriedly took out a piece of white and flawless rice paper from the place where the rice paper was usually shelved, stepped forward and moved the recital to the side, and then spread the rice paper.

Nan Jiuxi dipped the ink, picked up the pen and drew on the rice paper.

Xue Hainiang stood on the side, and subconsciously glanced at the rice paper.

Nan Jiuxi's painting is not a winter red plum that fits the scene, nor is it a continuous mountain peak that echoes his emperor's state of mind, but a picture of spring flowers blooming and the sun rising in the sky.

"Winter is coming, and warm spring is coming-" Nan Jiuxi seemed to raise her lips and smiled faintly, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, evil and handsome.

"Hai Niang, what do you think, how is this painting in my pen?"
