Chapter 38: The Storm

The sun outside the hall gradually turned red, and the summer heat still arrived as scheduled, leaving only a moment of respite in the morning.

His Royal Highness saw that the sun was getting more and more dazzling, so he retired first, because Su Jieyu was still busy going to the Shang Palace Bureau, and the king didn't want his mother to suffer a little more from the sun for no reason.

The mother and son walked out of the Hanliang Hall together, and the heat wave outside rushed straight to the face.

After sending off King Sui, Su Jieyu hurried towards the Shanggong Bureau, and when she arrived at the Si Shi room, Qiao Hua was really waiting for her at the agreed place.

"Jieyu, you're here."

Su Jieyu pulled Qiao Hua towards the backyard, took out a delicate wooden box from her water sleeve, and said, "Since there have always been grievances like grievances in the past few days and nights, it is better for us to make a play about this." ”

Qiao Hua took the box, his doubts did not disappear, and asked, "What is here?" ”

"Drug, after taking it, there will be the first symptoms of Concubine Xian's illness, but don't worry, this medicine can't hurt the body, this is what I asked Jiang Cheng to find Langzhong in Chang'an, everything can be assured."

Qiao Hua nodded: "But how to use this, and to whom?" ”

Su Jieyu looked around, suppressed her voice and said: "This method is indeed a good strategy, and you can't take the initiative to make a move, you just need to do what I say next, you can have the opportunity to frustrate Ru Pei's spirit, and perhaps, you can also suffer with King Qian." ”

"Okay, I'll do what Jieyu said......"

There was a magpie "dripping" from the air, as if opening the curtain of a busy morning, Lu Sishe also walked around the rooms of the Shanggong Bureau, and after a while went to guard the sacrificial utensils, busy with sweat, but orderly.

Ru Pei is so busy with various affairs, and she does not forget to embarrass Qiao Hua.

After Qiao Hua saw Su Jieyu, she came back a little late, Ru Pei looked at Qiao Hua angrily, pointed to a pile of clothes on the table, and said, "You, where did you go early in the morning, hurry up and come over to catch up with Jifu." ”

Qiao Hua was bored for a while: "Why are you pushing your own affairs to me again, today my aunt said that I should send the ingredients for the meal." ”

Ru Peiliu frowned: "Heh, you are embarrassed to say that you have disappeared early in the morning, and now that you have something to do, why don't you hurry up and do it?" Grinding and chirping...... Besides, I'm kind enough to help you deliver it, aren't you satisfied? Go get me the ingredients! ”

Qiao Hua's steps were thumping, and she turned around and walked out of the show, but after a while, she came in with two baskets in her hands and handed them to Ru Pei.

"Okay, I'll go deliver the ingredients first." Ru Pei said proudly, and walked out of the show briskly.

Qiao Hua's indignant expression gradually eased, looking at the back of Ru Pei in the distance, a relaxed smile on the corner of her mouth gradually revealed, like a relieved comfort.

Stitch by stitch, bit by bit, Qiao Hua could not be said to be careless, her right hand wandered back and forth on the fabric, as if she could hear the sizzling sound of thin threads passing through the brocade, even Fu'an came to scare her, she didn't notice.

"Oops, you scared me."

Fu'an quipped: "Miss, I saw that you were doing a serious job, so I didn't bother you." ”

Qiao Hua folded the silk satin, supported her chin with her hand, and said, "Call me Miss again, so you don't call me like that...... Oh yes, Fu'an, we still have a lot of things to deal with today, I'm hopeful you can save some effort now. ”

Fu'an was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I won't tell you first," Qiao Hua said forbearantly: "By the way, Ru Pei will come back later, if you have an argument with me, don't help me talk." ”

Fu'an was even more puzzled: "Huh? ”

"Did you hear that?"

"Got it, Miss, whatever you say is what, even if you two fight later, I won't help you." After Fu'an finished speaking, he happily slipped out of the show.

Qiao Hua was overjoyed when she saw it, but her expression gradually became concentrated, and her eyes seemed to reflect the clouds fluttering in the sky, swaying, as if something was hanging in her heart, making her uneasy.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and in about half an hour, Ru Pei was sent back.

Qiao Hua saw that Fu'an, Caiqin, and the other palace maids in the division had all returned to Xiufang, so he put away the clothes in front of him, got up slowly, and walked towards Ru Pei.

Ru Pei seemed to be in an extremely comfortable mood, looking like a spring breeze in March.

Qiao Hua walked straight to Ru Pei, stood in front of her, and asked in a loud voice, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that the delivery of ingredients is very smooth." ”

Ru Pei looked at Qiao Hua for a while, and said, "Of course, this is the ingredient I worked so hard to prepare, so I naturally received a reward." ”

Qiao Hua's face instantly turned crimson, his voice became a little louder, and he asked, "What?" Did you prepare? These ingredients are the ones I've worked so hard to prepare these two days, and do you know that I picked them up until late at night last night! Why did you just go and send it back, and just cheekily take all the credit on yourself? ”

Qiao Hua's menacing appearance made all the palace maids in the Si Shi room look over here, and Cai Qin was about to step forward to help Qiao Hua, but was gently pulled by Fu'an, Fu'an shook his head and signaled Cai Qin not to go over.

Ru Pei also instantly became energetic, and asked rhetorically: "Okay, you Qiao Hua, this preparation of ingredients was originally my business, when will it be your turn to do it?" ”

Qiao Hua was angry: "Originally, I prepared it at this time, you just went to send it away, you are good, the wicked will sue first!" ”

Ru Pei waved his right hand and shouted, "Do you have any evidence to prove that you prepared the yin?" Who saw it? Caiqin? Philip? Or which sister saw it? You ask them! ”

While speaking, Ru Pei looked at the palace maids, and everyone shook their heads, no one could prove that these ingredients were prepared by Qiao Hua.

The flush on Qiao Hua's face went all the way to the root of her ears, she looked at the palace maids around her, and said to Ru Pei: "Okay, as long as you swear, this ingredient is made by you from beginning to end, I won't fight with you." ”

Ru Pei frowned, looked at everyone, raised his hand, and swore an oath: "I swear, these ingredients have been prepared by me from beginning to end since Lu Si set the order, and I personally sent them, from beginning to end, no one else touched a single bit!" ”

Qiao Hua couldn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to point at Ru Pei: "You-"

Ru Pei was very proud, raised his head, and said, "What? I've never seen such a shameless person as you, and now that I've sworn it, do you dare to fight with me for half a point? ”

There was no sound around, Qiao Hua looked at it, all the palace maids were full of shock, and they didn't dare to say much, most of them even looked outside, perhaps because they were afraid that Lu Sishe would suddenly break in and see this quarrel.

However, Lu Sishe still came in.

"What are you arguing about?"

Qiao Hua hurriedly showed weakness, went forward to salute, and said: "Auntie, it's all my fault, it's me who is anxious for quick success and wants to rob Sister Ru Pei's credit, aunt, you punish me." ”

Lu Sishe was originally a kind-hearted person, but he was not too angry, reprimanded everyone a few words, and then told everyone to disperse and do their own work first.

Qiao Hua lowered his head, not daring to look up at Lu Sishe, Lu Sishe's mood calmed down a lot, and his voice was meticulous: "You also get up, kneel at the door like something, you just know your mistake, hurry up and make auspicious clothes." ”

"Yes." Qiao Hua agreed.
