A cold wind blew through, and there was only silence in the entire courtyard, and everywhere was empty, not at all like someone had come.

He Hongying's heart immediately sank, and she muttered, "Did the crane slave run away?". z.br>

If she ran away, it would only mean that she had gotten the treasure map and got what she wanted, so she cleaned up the aftermath and removed the forces of the Ghost Shadow Building from here.

The other party really took great pains to leave her in trouble.

He Hongying still didn't believe her speculation, and couldn't help but go into the depths of the courtyard to explore, but found that all the institutions here had been destroyed, as if the original owner had done it so that no one could find their clues.

Damn, now that the crane slave has finished using her, she won't care about her, now she doesn't have the power of the Ghost Shadow Building in the palace, how difficult is it to fight with Zhu Jiu alone and compete for Xuanyuan Che's favor?

After returning to the palace, He Hongying's face has not been very good, she subconsciously touched her stomach and sat by the window for an afternoon.

Then as if he had made up his mind, he called the two second-class palace maids who were guarding outside in, "Jianqiu, calligraphy and painting, you two follow me, but you sincerely serve the palace?"

After the willow left, there was no big palace maid in Changhua Palace, and there was no aunt in charge, which was a well-known thing.

Now He Hongying suddenly asked them this kind of question, obviously to promote them!

The two palace maids immediately looked at each other excitedly, and then knelt down in front of her, "Qi Niangniang, slaves and maids swear allegiance to Niangniang!"

"As long as you can do things for the mother, you can ask the slave and maid to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the slave and maid are also willing!"

A good future is just around the corner, just like He Hongying's current situation, although she is not as favored as the queen, but in the harem, she is the only palace concubine who has a dragon heir for His Majesty.

If she can give birth to this child peacefully, whether it is a man or a woman, this child is the eldest son, and He Hongying's status will rise with the tide in the future.

The heartfelt hearts of the two palace maids made He Hongying very useful, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's best if you can think clearly, now this palace wants to take advantage of the queen's absence, and take all the power of this harem in your hands, and the internal affairs office, you will accompany this palace to go in person."

The Internal Affairs Office is closely related to the entire harem, and if you master the Internal Affairs Office, it is equivalent to mastering half of the harem.

The head of the Internal Affairs Office was originally also Zhu Jiu's person, notoriously sleek, when He Hongying led people over to find fault with him, he should have come out to greet him, but he didn't know what was going on, he suddenly fainted halfway, and when he asked someone to treat him, he found out that he was already suffering from an incurable disease, and his time was short.

The head of the Internal Affairs Office was full of shock, and he couldn't believe that he died so soon, but when he reacted, He Hongying had abused his power and kicked him out of the Internal Affairs Office, and installed his own people in the Internal Affairs Office.

At that time, her every move was under Luo Zheng's surveillance, and was passed on to Zhu Jiu by Luo Zheng.

The summer palace is built in the western suburbs of the capital, the mountains near the western suburbs are continuous, and the large areas of greenery are cool and comfortable.

Xuanyuan Che and Zhu Jiu were in front of each other, and a group of palace concubines followed behind them, and when they arrived at the beautifully built summer palace, they had a housekeeper to assign them a place to live, and there was no need to gather that night, and everyone could rest well on the first day of coming here.

At night, the courtyard is very wide, and the stars in the sky are like pearls, condensed together to form a beautiful and brilliant net, which is particularly beautiful in the dark night.

Zhu Jiu rarely saw such a good scene, and when the summer palace was built, he also deliberately found someone to see the direction, so it is best to enjoy the night view here, Zhu Jiu did not go into the house, stayed in the courtyard, and put a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off the heat, and a charcoal stove was prepared on the table, roasting meat, which was extremely comfortable.

Hanmei sandwiched the roasted meat into her bowl, but as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she found that Xuanyuan Che, who was sitting opposite Zhu Jiu, had already handled this trivial matter.

And these prey are all when he passes by during the day, Shun

Hand hunted, asked someone to clean it and sent it to Zhu Jiu to roast and eat, and even the sour plum soup was prepared in advance by him, and now her master is happy to eat, but His Majesty intends to continue to take care of her.

Han Mei reminded, "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of this barbecue, you can also eat a little, otherwise it will be wasted."

"Well, Lone likes to watch the queen eat."

Xuanyuan Che smiled, the roasted ones were all Zhu Jiu's favorite foods.

Zhu Jiu ate almost enough, and began to rush people, "Okay, you have been with me for a day today, and now you should go out and do your own business."

"You can't come to the Summer Palace this time, you've been with me the whole time, right? What does this look like?"

Hearing her say this, Xuanyuan Che reluctantly put down the grill in his hand and sighed, "Okay, the queen has a good rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

The emperor has a special summer palace, and his place is much larger than Zhu Jiu's, but Zhu Jiu's summer palace also has hot springs, and the ice cubes in the room are also the most, all of which are specially ordered by Xuanyuan Che, otherwise even if you come to the summer palace, you don't need to put ice cubes to cool off, and it is not easy to get a good night's sleep.

And because of the shade here, many insects also grow very well, and the palace concubines in other residences smoke the sachets and spices they brought for a long time on the day of check-in, so that they can sleep peacefully.

Here in Zhu Jiu, there are no such troubles at all.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Che was gone, Han Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Jiu: "Niangniang, there is still so much meat left, the slave maid put it away and take it down, can you take it out tomorrow when you want to eat it?"

"No, don't you have news for me? Say it."

In fact, what news is there in this palace that Xuanyuan Che doesn't know? He is the lord of the world, and nothing can be hidden from him as long as he wants to.

It's just that Hanmei doesn't like to say everything in front of him, so she habitually reports to Zhu Jiu alone, and Zhu Jiu lets her.

Hearing this, Hanmei told her about the changes in the palace, and also talked about the fact that the head of the Internal Affairs Office was replaced by He Hongying without permission, and her words were very indignant, "Why did she do this? Manager Wang is conscientious and the most fair, she is good, not long after she got the right to take charge of the harem, she can't wait to replace her own people, it's really disgraceful!"

"As long as she's not too much, let her toss as she wants."

If he kills people, He Hongying's good days will come to an end.

But Hanmei really couldn't figure it out, obviously He Hongying had seduced His Majesty in front of her several times, why was Zhu Jiu not moved at all? It's the same now, it's very calm, not at all like someone has robbed me of his rights.

For a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, you don't take He Hongying in your eyes so much, did she really give birth to His Majesty's child, and you don't care?"
