Chapter 664: Auspicious Empress 17
"Yeah." He Xiaoman's voice was also calm, as if he was talking about a normal thing: "How can the child I raise be bullied casually?"
After all, she wasn't used to calling herself "this palace, this palace" all day long. After getting familiar with each other, she and Ah Qi always called her like you and me.
Ah Qi had a broken leg and could only lie upright like a zombie. He turned his head to the side opposite to He Xiaoman and said with a thick nasal voice: "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."
"Go to sleep, have a good sleep, and you will be full of energy again in a few days."
Naturally, He Xiaoman couldn't see the tears running freely down the face of the young man who turned his head away, but looking at his hunched and thin shoulders and the occasional slight choking, he knew that he was crying.
He didn't cry when his leg was broken, and when He Xiaoman broke the old injury and reattached the bone, he sweated all over his face and didn't shed a single tear. However, when he knew that He Xiaoman had gone to find a place for him to take revenge, he burst into tears.
Don't let her know.
This is a child who is thoughtful and grateful.
He Xiaoman could foresee that when Yu Zhen comes back in the future, as long as Ah Qi is here, her life will not be too sad.
Early the next morning, Leng Shuanghua came uninvited and was startled when she saw Ah Qi lying on the bed.
I thought that the Empress finally couldn't hold it any longer and had her face covered.
Looking more carefully, it turned out to be the little girl in Qingliang Palace who was often beaten and scolded for stealing food. However, after the braids on her head were loosened, she somehow gained a heroic aura, making her mistakenly think she was a man.
She asked He Xiaoman in surprise: "You...you..."
"I gave the child a bowl of noodles to eat. Someone told Yu Zhaoyuan, and Yu Zhaoyuan told Chao Lu, so Chao Lu brought someone to break the child's legs."
Leng Shuanghua looked at He Xiaoman's unsightly tied injured leg and said angrily: "If I remember correctly, this child is also... of Tian family blood. Even if she is not pampered, it is not her turn to teach a little girl a lesson.
?”
At just nine years old, a nine-year-old girl would do this to her half-sister. How cruel and vicious is her heart?
"Yes, it was all because of me, so when I found out, I took him over and took care of him for a few days. Even if Chaolu finds out, he can't even dare to fight me, right?"
Leng Shuanghua snorted coldly: "I guess no one from the Tai Hospital's gang of blind people is willing to treat this child. I still have some money, so why don't I quietly find a suitable person to come and take a look at her? Don't
It’s not good to leave something behind.”
Ah Qi was stunned.
He didn't know that this empress, who was usually a lonely person, was actually willing to spend money on him?
"Thank you, Madam. The injury is not serious. It will be fine in a few days. There is no need to go to the imperial doctor."
"But I can't be called 'empress' as a princess. Now I'm just a commoner with no rank or rank,"
"Then I can't treat you as a 'princess', so you should call me Ah Qi. After all, I am a bastard who is not even qualified to be a member of the Jade Order." Ah Qi's self-proclaimed words no longer caused any pain or embarrassment.
What He Xiaoman prepared for Ah Qi today was soup stock bone noodles, two slices of tender red ham with stubble, a soft-boiled egg, freshly cut raw white and tender bean sprouts, two slices of thinly sliced tomatoes, and one
The smashed stick bones with bone marrow oil were simmered until they were milky white and sprinkled with thinly sliced leeks. They were served in a fine white porcelain bowl that made Leng Shuanghua's mouth water.
The cold beauty, who could not even smile when the emperor turned over the brands, immediately asked for the same treatment as He Xiaoman with a salivating look on her face.
Sure enough, he is a cannibal with a short mouth. After eating He Xiaoman's various noodles, Leng Shuanghua never used his poisonous tongue skills on He Xiaoman again. Instead, he always looked like a good best friend.
He Xiaoman walked to the yard and was about to prepare noodles for Leng Shuanghua when Zhang Jinliang came over anxiously with a pale face.
He had just heard that Ah Qi's leg had been broken by Princess Chaolu. He hurried to Ah Qi's shabby room but missed it. He was so worried that he had to hurry over to the Empress's place to have a look.
Zhang Jinliang, who had been brainwashed countless times and already regarded Ah Qi as the emperor, felt that he had lost sight of Long Live Lord, and the sky was falling!
The time was not yet ripe, and He Xiaoman had no intention of telling everything to Leng Shuanghua, so she signaled to Zhang Jinliang not to talk nonsense.
The eunuch who has been in the harem for many years is best at observing words and emotions.
"My father-in-law is here to get the money. Everything is ready. You go first and wait in the room. I will be here soon."
Although Zhang Jinliang was confused, he still paced into the inner room.
Seeing his rosy-faced nephew with his legs bandaged eating noodles, Zhang Jinliang tried his best to restrain himself even though Leng Shuren was there, but his eyes were still red with pain.
The three humble people greeted each other, and He Xiaoman walked in with two bowls of soup stock noodles.
Don't be polite to anyone if you have a bowl for each person. Just eat what you have.
Eat without talking and sleep without talking.
The four of them Xilihulu ate the noodles in their bowls, and they all felt that the imperial dining room might not be able to make such delicious food.
He Xiaoman handed the two banknotes to Zhang Jinliang: "I have to bother my father-in-law to make this trip. This is the personal money I have saved over the years. I am in such a situation now, and my parents have been expelled from the family. I must be living a hard life."
It won’t be too good…”
Leng Shuanghua immediately understood why Zhang Jinliang was here. Almost everyone in Qingliang Palace knew that he was on an errand in the Xi Palace Bureau. Recently, in order to completely get rid of Yu Zhen, the Yu family had directly killed the second eldest son of the family.
I heard that my family was allocated several acres of thin farmland, but Second Master Yu was so stubborn that he refused to accept anything and even threatened to change his surname.
With Yu Zhen's current status and unable to leave the palace, he could only seek help from Zhang Jinliang, who often had the opportunity to enter and leave the palace.
Thinking about how the Yu family has been a family for hundreds of years, such a cold and indifferent way of doing things is a bit chilling.
Since Yu Zhen asked Zhang Jinliang for help, he must have something to tell his parents, so she won't get in the way here.
After Leng Shuanghua said goodbye and left, Zhang Jinliang dared to run over and take a closer look at Ah Qi's injured leg. After understanding the cause and effect, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to He Xiaoman: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting Ah Qi, thank you for saving my life."
!If the empress has any errands, Zhang Jinliang will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"That's not necessary. Your life is precious. Just do what I tell you to do. If anything happens, I will go find you. If nothing happens, try not to come to Qingliang Hall again. There are a lot of informants here, so I can't do it for the time being.
Remove.”
Zhang Jinliang nodded in agreement.
He Xiaoman took out some more money and gave it all to Zhang Jinliang: "Just give five hundred taels to my parents, and you can keep the rest as funds. Remember, people are more valuable than talents, and you need reliable people to use them. In addition, you can use them for money."
