Lu Bu entered the palace again, it was during the daytime, and this time it was Concubine Liu who was specially summoned into the palace.

Concubine Liu's intention in doing this is obvious, Princess Changning and Fei Caihe have gone to attend Shen Pu's wedding, and the emperor has been in Jin'er's palace all day these days, and he summoned Lu Bu into the palace at this time, which can minimize the number of people who know, and pave the way for Lu Bu to become the commander of the forbidden army in the future.

Since the person who assassinated Concubine Liu has not been found until now, Lu Bu's worries about Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang are increasing day by day, and sometimes he even thinks of breaking into the palace and catching that Jin'er to forcibly extract a confession.

Seeing Lu Bu coming, Caiju, who had been waiting at the door, greeted him.

"The slave maid has been waiting for General Tang for a long time, and the concubine is in the palace, maybe she is even more anxious, please come with me as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Miss Caiju." Lu Bu nodded and quickly followed.

Concubine Liu really waited in the hall all the time.

"Caiju, can you already prepare the food and drink?" Concubine Liu asked.

"The slave maid was rewarded just now, and several masters in the imperial dining room knew that the concubine was hosting guests today, and specially made a few dishes that the concubine lady loved to eat, presumably it was already ready now, and the slave and maid went to urge it." Caiju replied.

"Okay." Concubine Liu thought for a moment, "Order them to be sent here directly." ”

"Concubine Niangniang, there are many inconveniences here, and the villain is afraid ......" Lu Bu was a little worried.

Concubine Liu smiled.

"General rest assured, no one will come to disturb the palace when it is interrupted today." Concubine Liu said, patted her wide chair with her hand, and motioned for Lu Bu to sit over.

Lu Bu glanced back at the palace gate.

Although all the palace maids have been separated by Concubine Liu, if someone suddenly comes in, wouldn't it be a big deal.

Seeing that Lu Bu hesitated and didn't dare to approach, Concubine Liu's face was covered with a charming smile.

"The general doesn't look like he did when he rescued the mourning family several times at this moment."

Lu Bu took a few steps forward, but stopped again.

Concubine Liu stood up helplessly.

"It's okay, the general can come with me first, and after the wine and food are arranged, it's not too late to come back." As he spoke, he took Lu Bu with one hand and walked into the dormitory behind.

Lu Bu entered Concubine Liu's bedroom for the first time in broad daylight, and he was still a little nervous.

After a stick of incense, Cai Ju led people to decorate the hall, and a series of colorful and delicious dishes have been placed on the table.

"The concubine Niangniang's decree, you and others will each reward two taels of silver, which has been informed to the Internal Affairs Office, and it will be distributed when it is served." Caiju said to several cooks.

The crowd rejoiced and knelt on the ground to give thanks.

Two taels of silver doesn't sound like much, but for these cooks, it's enough to pay them a month's worth of silver.

"Wait and go, if something happens, call at any time." Caiju said again.

Several people left.

Caiju came to the door of Concubine Liu's bedroom, listened attentively, and didn't hear the sound inside, so she whispered, "Concubine Qi, the wine and food have been prepared, can you eat now?" ”

At this time, Concubine Liu and Lu Bu in the room were talking about Concubine Jin, and when they heard Caiju's voice, Concubine Liu glanced at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't say a word.

"If the general's wife doesn't come back, won't the general even eat food?" Concubine Liu quipped.

Lu Bu still didn't speak.

Concubine Liu had no choice but to turn back to Caiju outside the door and order, "You go down, the mourning family and the general will go later." ”

"Yes." Caiju promised to retreat into the hall.

"According to Lord Bao's intentions, I want my emperor to reward Jin'er at will, and only after her plan is successful will her true purpose be revealed. Therefore, there is no urgency to rescue your wife. Concubine Liu said to Lu Bu.

This time, Lu Bu was in a hurry.

"My lady has followed the villain for thousands of years, experienced many hardships, but only focused on the villain, and now she is trapped in the bandit's nest, but the villain can't be rescued, such a nest, how can it be done by a big husband?"

Concubine Liu looked at Lu Bu's flushed face with excitement, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lord Bao will make arrangements, and the general doesn't have to be so impatient." Concubine Liu said, subconsciously touching Lu Bu's face, "The general is much thinner than when he first met the mourning family, if the general is worried about this, how sad should Mrs. Zun be rescued in the future?" ”

Lu Bu was silent again, but his expression was still gloomy.

Half an hour later, Concubine Liu and Lu Bu still didn't come out, Caiju couldn't sit still, and wanted to remind her several times, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help it.

A palace maid named Xiao Xi'er was summoned from outside, and Caiju instructed her to go to the imperial dining room and ask the masters to reheat the wine and food.

"Yes." Xiao Xi'er agreed, and walked out with a plate of dishes by the way.

When all the food and wine were heated, Caiju saw the door of the dormitory open.

It took a lot of effort for Concubine Liu to calm Lu Bu's impatient mood.

The two sat on either side of the table.

Cai Ju picked up the wine jug and was about to fill it for Concubine Liu, when suddenly, a palace goddess ran in in a panic.

Perhaps she was too flustered, and before she could reach the bottom of the steps, the palace maid suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

"What are you panicking about?" Concubine Liu was taken aback, thinking that the emperor had suddenly arrived.

"Return, go back to the concubine Niangniang, Xiao, Xiao Xi'er has an accident." The palace maid's face was pale, and she couldn't even care about the skin on her palm, and replied.

"Little Xi'er?" Concubine Liu was surprised, but soon laughed, "Did she steal the fruit in the womb of which concubine and was discovered?" ”

Concubine Liu was referring to an incident a long time ago.

This little Xi'er is the youngest of all the palace maids, less than fourteen years old, and the most gluttonous.

Once, when she went to the palace of a concubine to do business, she happened to see a few fruits offered by local officials on the table, and when she saw that there was no one around, she took a few and secretly put them in her sleeve. When he came out, the fruit accidentally rolled out of his sleeve.

Maybe it was because she was still young, and she was the person next to Concubine Liu, so the concubine didn't care, just said a few words to her.

The matter was not big, but it spread in the palace, and several palace maids even said behind her back that she was "Huai Tang Lu Lang".

For this reason, Concubine Liu also specially rewarded her with some of the fruits that were offered, hoping that she would not go out like this again in the future.

"Back to the words of the concubine, no, no." Hearing Concubine Liu say this, the palace maid became even more anxious, "Xiao Xi'er was with the slave maid just now, and suddenly she fainted, there was a peculiar smell in her mouth, and there was a lot of white foam, and the slave maid felt quite like poisoning. ”

Lu Bu and Concubine Liu stood up at the same time.

"Quickly call the Imperial Doctor." Concubine Liu commanded.

The palace maid stumbled out.

Caiju suddenly remembered something, and her eyes were fixed on the wine and food on the table.

"The concubine and slow down, wait for the slave to give it a try." Caiju said, took off a silver hairpin from the top of her head, and found the plate of dishes that Xiao Xi'er brought out just now.

Not long after, Caiju's frightened screams came from the hall.

Poisonous in the dish.

"Just now, although the slave maid didn't see Xiao Xi'er stealing food, she remembered that she had gone out with this dish, so she was suspicious." Caiju said.

Concubine Liu slammed the table.

"Bring the man from the imperial dining room for questioning."

Some people died, but not completely......
