The Cailan Palace was silent, and it was not lively until noon.

This morning's rain became heavier and heavier, and Fang Yan held an oil-paper umbrella all the way to the Cailan Palace where Princess Tong lived. She was full of thoughts, and the cold raindrops fell on her body, and she didn't notice it at all.

As soon as you enter the palace courtyard of the Cailan Palace, there are lush weeping willows planted under the vermilion palace walls.

Princess Tong is getting older, and her temperament has become introverted and eccentric, and somehow she suddenly falls in love with Willow. Therefore, the palace people pulled out all the original flowers and branches in the courtyard, and transplanted the green willows from the outer palace wall.

Standing under the flower pavilion corridor, the palace ladies saw Fang Yan through the rain, and hurriedly waved her hand to beckon her "Fang Steward", a palace lady named Silver Cicada was a little excited, and hurriedly stepped forward with an umbrella, welcomed her into the spacious hall, and told Xiao Gong'e to pour hot tea.

This silver cicada is seventeen years old, with a melon seed face, and a pretty charm between her eyebrows and eyes. She has a close relationship with Fang Yan's steward, the two often correspond, and their tempers are also compatible, and they say more intimate words.

Fang Yan sat down on the edge of the couch, wiped the rain on her face with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at the silver cicada, and saw that she was dressed in plain white clothes, there were still two tear stains on her face, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

She thought about it for a while, knowing that the silver cicada was crying for Ling Po, and thought: "This is just right, tell her about Ling Po, you have to hate Zi Ning to death." ”

Zi Ning is a lowly little maid at the gate of the outer palace, and Fang Yan is the first steward of the inner palace, so she can't be entangled with a little girl. But because of the death of Ling Po, Fang Yan secretly suspected that there was a secret relationship between Zi Ning and Empress Hua Yao, she was bent on regaining her favor, and Empress Hua Yao was the biggest obstacle. secretly calculated in her heart that sooner or later she would be able to bring down the empress and regain the favor of the emperor, and this palace would be all her Fangyan's.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan raised her sleeves, gently grabbed the hand of the silver cicada, let her sit down next to her, and sighed mournfully: "You are also pitiful, you have been dependent on your wife for all these years, and you will be left alone, how can you live." As he spoke, he sobbed twice, and his eyes turned red.

When the silver cicada heard this, she was talking about her heart, she held back her tears, and said sadly: "Only Steward Fang knows my suffering, but I don't dare to tell anyone." The sudden tragic death of Ling Po made her lose her support, and when she thought of it in the past few days, her heart was like a knife, and she hated to avenge Ling Po in person.

Fang Yan's slender eyes glanced around, hurriedly shook his head, and whispered: "It's best not to say it, it's too much gossip." That day-old woman drowned in the pond and died, and I was so angry that I almost fainted, but I just endured it and didn't show it. If you cry like this all day long, and the people around Empress Hua Yao know about it, you will cause trouble. ”

She was very afraid of Empress Hua Yao in her heart, so she looked up at the door as she spoke, and saw that Xiao Gong'e sent hot tea and went to watch the rain to play, and didn't pay attention to what they said.

But Fang Yan was still not at ease, raised her hand to make a soundproof prohibition, covered her with a transparent barrier in front of her, and her face showed a slight hint of relief, "No matter how heartbroken you are, you have to hide it, although you are serving in Cailan Palace, but this is Princess Tong's place, you understand it yourself." ”

In the country of the dove, the power of Empress Hua Yao is the first, even the Emperor of the Hair Dove has to be careful to slap her, Fang Yan's heart is tight, if you want to go against Empress Hua Yao, you must be cautious.

Yincia wiped her tears and said unwillingly: "How can the emperor be so ruthless, my mother-in-law has served in the palace for decades, needless to say, there is a lot of hard work, how to drown her alive for the cook at the gate of the outer palace." ”

Although she was not convinced, she couldn't find the emperor to argue, so she could only feel sorry for herself in Cailan Palace, and wanted to get justice for Ling Po. went to explore Princess Tong's tone several times, but the princess was not in a good mood, and when she mentioned this matter, she was blocked back, leaving her with nothing to do.

Fang Yan narrowed a pair of slender eyes, secretly plotted to frame Zi Ning, and said: "Don't you know, the cook lady at the outer palace gate is not small, and she said that she was an old person brought by Empress Hua Yao, I am afraid that there is something else to do with it." That Zi Ning's life was good, but he was saved by the absolute emperor of the Kunlun Immortal Clan. ”

As soon as the silver cicada heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately knelt down for Fang Yan, raised her head and cried: "Please take pity on me and help me avenge my mother-in-law." ”

Fang Yan pretended to be sad, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and then pulled the silver cicada up, and said: "You stupid girl, don't cry yet, the matter of the old woman must be considered in the long run, we can't bring down the cook, but there is one person who can help." Her cruel eyes flashed, and she secretly pinched the hand of the silver cicada, and her eyes glanced in the direction of the palace, and the silver cicada suddenly understood that she was referring to Princess Tong.

Princess Tong is the daughter of Emperor Fa Dove and the only daughter of Empress Hua Yao, she has always been pampered, and her temper is quite willful.

Bowing her head and being silent for a moment, the silver cicada said softly: "The princess has refused to eat for the past two days, and the emperor and queen have not come to the Cailan Palace to take a look, not even half a word of comfort. This morning, the princess went to Zunhua Palace to ask for peace, and the meeting was also faint, and the mother didn't ask a word. Steward Fang looks at this......"

Princess Tong somehow annoyed Empress Hua Yao, and Empress Hua Yao ignored her in the past few days, not at all like treating her own daughter.

Fang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, "That's good, don't you understand a clever person like you?" The more cold Empress Hua Yao is to Princess Tong, the more resentful the princess will be against Zining's mother and daughter, they only need to fan the flames next to them, and they can make the princess personally take action and kill Zining and her mother!

The silver cicada suddenly realized and nodded silently. Fang Yan whispered: "This matter should not be publicized, but it can't be counted like this." Don't worry, it's all up to me. "Pat her hand and tell her not to be impatient.

The drizzle outside the window continued, and the Cailan Palace was quiet and cool, and Princess Tong in the palace was silently in a daze, listening to the sound of the dripping rain, adding many upset thoughts.

Seeing that the spring was already strong, there was a sudden drizzle, and since the poisoning happened that day, the queen mother had not come to visit her, and the damp chill made her feel uneasy.

The maid Mo Yikui held a bunch of green willow branches with raindrops, stomped in, swept the raindrops on her skirt, put the bottle on the low tea table in the corner of the window, carefully inserted the wicker, and said: "Have you heard of the princess, the queen sent someone to check the poisoning that day, saying that it was the food that clashed, and no one was poisoned." ”

The room is dimly lit, and there is a damp smell on a rainy day, mixed with the smell of agarwood, which makes people feel bored for no reason.

Princess Tong stood up stunned and asked, "Is this true?

Mo Yikui glanced at Princess Tong and said carefully: "I don't know if it's food conflict, and we don't understand the principles of those meals." It's just that Niangniang appeased the cook's mother and daughter, blamed Fang Yan again, and ordered her to personally bring the soup and medicine to the cook. ”

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the camphor wood box placed on the side of the screen, she put Zi Ning in the clothes box this morning, and calculated by the hour, the immobilization spell has expired, I don't know what Zi Ning is doing at the moment, whether she is still in the box.

I was nervous and secretly blamed myself for being negligent. Princess Tong is in the study every day, rarely comes to this room, does not want to rain today, the princess has no intention of reading and writing, has to come here under the eaves of the window to watch the rain, and ordered her to pick fresh emerald green wicker, insert a bottle to watch.

Mo Yikui bit her lip secretly, the matter has come to this point, I can only ask the gods to bless me, don't let the princess find Zining.

When Princess Tong heard her say these things, she was a little incredulous, and her eyes widened and she said: "This is strange, Fang Yan personally brought the medicinal soup and sent it? ”

Before Empress Hua Yao married into the country of Fa Jiu, Fang Yan had a relationship with Emperor Fa Jiu, and also gave birth to a daughter, two years older than Princess Tong.

Although Fang Yan stayed in the palace as a steward, she had never served anyone except for Emperor Hairdove, and even the teaching guards in the inner palace had to look at her face. This time, she personally served medicinal soup to Zining's mother and daughter, which was an unprecedented event, and even Princess Tong felt incredible.

Mo Yikui nodded slightly, "The imperial dining room has also been busy in the past two days, preparing soup medicine for the cook's mother and daughter. The thousand-year-old ginseng bird's nest was set up on a table, and a pot was boiled into a tonic ointment, saying that it was to invigorate blood and qi and nourish scars, all of which were used by Zining. ”

When Princess Tong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she swept the celadon and Hanyu glass cup containing the fruit on the tea table with her hand, and fell to the ground with a "pop", breaking into several pieces when she landed.

Mo Yikui was so shocked that she hurriedly knelt down and said urgently: "The princess is angry, the slave should not tell the princess this." This glass cup is a treasure that ordered Qiu Shan to pay tribute, and the emperor personally rewarded it, and it was broken all of a sudden, but how could it be obtained. "I reached out and picked up the fragments of the glass jar, but the ground was full of fragments, and I couldn't put them together.

Princess Tong raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and patted the table, and scolded hatefully: "She is just a cooking girl, if she really wrongs her, it will be just a few spirit stones, how much is the grace given to them." However, the queen mother invited the imperial doctor to come and see, and even instructed the imperial dining room to prepare ginseng and bird's nest, so that the bowls were served over and served, which was bigger than the princess's pie. ”

Angry in her heart, the queen mother lifted up the cooking maid, and ordered people to send all kinds of good things, not to mention, so that the whole country of the dove was discussing, making her, a princess, fall out of favor and lose face.

Seeing that the poisoning of the banquet was over, Princess Tong only felt aggrieved in her heart, even if it was not the Zining mother and daughter who were poisoned, the queen mother came to comfort her a few words. ignores his daughter, but cares about the inferior maid, who is the princess of the country of the dove.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and when she looked down and saw Mo Yikui picking up the broken glass cup, she was even more angry, and shouted: "These things, this princess can smash them if she wants, what are you doing with them!"

Her voice was sharp, and then she attracted a group of waiting palace ladies, who walked into the room one after another, all of them panicked, and knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The princess is angry!"

The shouts echoed in the room, and Zi Ningdeng, who was sleeping in the camphor wood box, woke up and almost screamed.

――――

Q version of the small fan:

Zining: All women love delicate flowers, why does Princess Tong like wicker?

Princess Tong: Because there is a person, he is dressed in green clothes, standing under the weeping willows, like a beautiful painting.

Zining: Who is this person?

Princess Tong: You'll see him soon.
