Three days of work are fleeting.

On this day, Zhou Qing was waiting for Sugar Bao's lunch break, Xiao Tuanzi lay on the bed and yawned, stretched out his little fat leg and kicked the quilt on his lower body.

"Qingqing, is it hotter in the palace than in the palace?" Xiao Tuanzi wrinkled his brows and asked worriedly.

Zhou Qing pulled the trouser legs that were shrunk together on her legs, and said with a smile: "Yes, Gege, the temperature in the Rehe Palace is suitable, and it is a good place to escape the heat." The temperature in the palace is much higher than here. ”

Thinking of a possibility, she smiled and patted Xiao Tuanzi's fat belly, which was still bulging when she was lying down, "Why did Gege suddenly ask this question?" ”

Tangbao turned sideways and pouted to look at her: "Toad, our Ma Sang is going back to the palace!" ”

Xiao Tuanzi patted his fat belly sadly, "Sugar baby is afraid of heat......

In other words, Tangbao is afraid of both heat and cold, and she still remembers the miserable life in Zhulan Courtyard before.

It's finally time to go back to the palace.

Zhou Qing wrote down the news and prepared to tell the master as soon as possible, while comforting Xiao Tuanzi: "Gege, don't worry, it's hot in summer, and there are ice cubes in each palace, which can be used to cool down, so it's not too hot." ”

"Ice?" Tangbao had never seen the ice cubes used in the palace to cool off in the summer, and thought that it was the size that she usually put in the bowl when she ate double skin milk, and suddenly became more worried, "But it can be done, that little ice thorn is a bowl of mulberry milk...... The swelling cools down. ”

Zhou Qing explained to Tangbao with a smile that there is a special "refrigerator" in the palace, and there are two traps in it, which can not only put some melons and fruits to eat, but also discharge the cold air inside to reduce the temperature in the room.

Because it is not very hot here, Rehe Xinggong did not use this "refrigerator" that can cool down.

Sugar Treasure had never seen such a new thing before, and he was immediately fascinated by it.

"It turns out that there are still some similar things in the palace!" Xiao Tuanzi sighed.

However, with Zhou Qing's comfort, Tangbao suddenly relieved his mind about returning to the palace next.

As long as it's not hot, she's not afraid!

Anyway, where Khan Ama and his brothers are, Xiaotuanzi will naturally be there!

Zhou Qing fanned Xiao Tuanzi and watched the scorching sun outside the window gradually set in the west.

At this time, Huailan suddenly pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Zhou Qing beside the bed, the corners of her mouth raised an arc, and she said softly: "It was originally your vigil at night, don't forget to change shifts." ”

Her seemingly kind reminder was exchanged for a cold glance from Zhou Qing.

"I remember, Sister Huailan doesn't have to worry so much."

Huailan glanced at the sugar treasure who was sleeping sweetly, and said with a smile: "You are my sister after all, how can I not worry about you." ”

With that, she turned and left.

The fan in Zhou Qing's hand paused, and the long eyelashes laid a layer of shadow under her eyes.

Soon it was evening.

At seven o'clock (10:45 p.m.), there was only a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) left before the agreed time, Zhou Qing got up in the ear room and called a little palace maid from outside the door.

"I had a little pain in my stomach, and I was afraid that I had eaten something bad at night. You stay here for me for a while, and I'll go back. ”

It was too late for the little palace maid to please Zhou Qing, how could she refuse.

hurriedly responded, and asked Zhou Qing intimately: "Sister Zhou, do you want someone to accompany you?" ”

Zhou Qing clutched her stomach, her face was very painful, she waved her hand and refused, "No need, I'm fine." You can eat the things in my house, so I will thank you for your help. ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

The little palace maid saw her figure disappear, and when she closed the door, she saw that the kang table was full of delicious things, so greedy that she hurriedly picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hmm, it's delicious!"

After eating two pastries, the little palace maid rubbed her eyes and yawned big, "Strange, why are you so sleepy......"

"I—I'll just lie down for a while...... I'll definitely wake up before Sister Zhou comes back......"

After hinting at herself, as soon as her head fell, she fell asleep on the kang.

***

The moonlight is desolate.

The lush foliage of the trees rustled in the night breeze, and countless black shadows danced on the ground.

Zhou Qing hurriedly came to the agreed place, and Huailan was indeed there.

Seeing each other, the two of them invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here."

Zhou Qing didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he said directly: "Take out the things and let me see them." ”

It's about discerning the real from the fake.

Huailan had already seen the bulging purse in her hand, and at a glance, she knew that there was a lot of silver in it, and since the silver money was in charge, she naturally became easy to talk.

Exposed the note and showed it to Zhou Qing, "You know all the handwriting, I didn't do anything." ”

There is a code in the text, and Zhou Qing can see it clearly after sweeping it twice.

"Then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Huai Lan said suddenly: "Wait." ”

She refused to let Zhou Qing get closer, "I know you know kung fu, so don't come near me, put down your purse, and when I get it, I will naturally give you the note." ”

Zhou Qing sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?" ”

Huailan rolled her eyes, "If you don't believe me, you won't be here tonight, will you." ”

Zhou Qing's fingers trembled twice.

Holding back her anger, she said in a deep voice, "I hope this is the last time you change your hexagram." ”

She put her heavy purse in place and took ten steps back as Huailan intended.

Huailan hurriedly rushed over and picked up the purse.

The weight when she started it made her brow happy all of a sudden, and while she took out the contents of her purse, she glanced at Zhou Qing who was not moving in the distance.

"Sure enough, people like you are most afraid of being manipulated, if I return it to you like this, I still regret it a little......"

Huailan's smile suddenly disappeared.

"What is this!!"

She looked at the stack of white papers in her hand in shock, and her face changed suddenly.

"How dare you lie to me!"

"Okay, then you just wait for the emperor to cut you with a thousand knives!"

There was an ethereal chuckle in the wind, and before Huailan could think about it, a thin invisible thread flashed in front of her eyes for a moment.

In the next second, her throat was choked by a huge force.

"Hmm-help" help!

Huailan couldn't say a word, she could only hear footsteps slowly approaching her, and Zhou Qing's cold voice sounded in her ears.

"Why do you think I'm delaying these three days?"

"Don't worry, those prepared whistleblowers will accompany you on Huangquan Road."

Before he had time to beg for mercy, Huailan's eyes were already dark.

***

"Wake up, wake up!"

The little palace maid was pushed twice, and then she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Ah, Sister Zhou, you're back!"

The little palace maid hurriedly glanced at the missing moment in the room, it was not yet a child, it turned out that two tea times had passed after she fell asleep.

She quickly jumped off the kang and found that she was still holding half a piece of pastry in her hand, ashamed and afraid.

"I'm sorry Sister Zhou, I actually fell asleep."

Zhou Qing forgave her with a smile, "It's okay, it's easy to get sleepy at night, it's hard for you." ”

She glanced at the dim sum in the little palace maid's hand, picked up a food box next to her and stuffed it to her, "Oh, it's all dim sum here, you can take it and eat it." ”

"Thank you, Sister Zhou!" The little palace maid took it with a smile.

After the little palace maid left, Zhou Qing poured all the snacks on the kang table into the food box that had been prepared a long time ago.
