"Meow... meow..." Xiaoli's steps were slow, her hind legs seemed to be injured and her walking was bumpy.
Chu Jiaoli's smile gradually faded, and she immediately turned over and got off the bed, saying, "Xiaoli? Are you injured?"
"Mother, you are just recovering from your illness. Slow down..." Linglong quickly ran to Xiaoli and wanted to pick it up for Chu Jiaoli.
Xiaoli stared at her warily, let out a bad breath, and then looked at Chu Jiaoli pitifully.
Chu Jiaoli looked worried, walked to it and knelt down in front of it. In the past, Xiaoli was naughty and cheerful. Although she didn't like strangers approaching, she often came to Chu Jiaoli's residence, and she gradually became familiar with Linglong. Even if she wasn't familiar with her, she wouldn't
This is what it looks like.
It seemed to be quite frightened.
Chu Jiaoli picked it up and saw a few spots of blood on its belly stained on its snow-white fur. She turned pale with fright and quickly put it on the table and said: "Linglong! Get the medicine box quickly!"
”
"Yes!"
After a moment, Chu Jiaoli carefully wrapped Xiaoli's right leg with gauze. She had always treated Xiaoli like a daughter, but when she saw it injured, she felt distressed and angry.
She stroked its head lovingly and said, "Who cruelly made you do this?"
Linglong lowered her head to pack the medicine box and said: "Xiaoli is like a little princess in the house. She has always been very favored. Her status is second only to the prince and princess. Who dares to touch it? Madam, is it because of its own playfulness?
Accident?"
Chu Jiaoli frowned and her voice was slightly lowered: "No, this injury is man-made." The hand caressing its face touched some debris. She frowned and raised her hand to look, and found that her fingertips were stained with a slightly sticky deep color.
Red particles, one of which is still stained with the puff pastry on the pastry.
She put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. It looked like jujube cake.
After pondering for a while, she was suddenly startled and said: "You said, it is second only to Beigong Tengxiao and Chu Jiaoli?"
Linglong nodded and said, "Isn't that what the maid in the mansion said when I first met Xiaoli?"
"No...there's no reason..." Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and murmured in confusion.
"Empress, what did you say?" Linglong asked in confusion.
Chu Jiaoli raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "Go and check, where Xiaoli went just now."
"Yes."
After a while, Linglong trotted in from outside the door and said: "Madam, I heard that Xiaoli came out from the back door of the Princess Palace."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli suddenly clenched her fists and said, "This is unreasonable, she really did it!"
She stood up quickly and walked out of the door quickly.
The Palace of the Imperial Concubine.
There were only Hua Yuejin and Ming Jing left in the house, and things on the floor were scattered.
Hua Yuejin sat in front of the dressing mirror, gently stroking the slightly cracked dough under her chin with her fingers, frowning in worry, gritting her teeth and said: "That dead cat stole my cake and even scratched it."
My mask! Damn it! Damn it!"
Ming Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "My dear, don't you like the jujube cake?"
Hua Yuejin snorted softly and said: "That's what the prince gave me. No matter how unhappy I am, I can't let a broken cat taste it!"
Hearing this, Ming Jing frowned slightly and whispered: "Why are you so interested in the prince? Don't forget that you are the emperor's man, and don't forget the purpose of our trip."
Hearing this, Hua Yuejin paused slightly. Beiming is her home, and Beigong Tengxiao is such an outstanding man. No nostalgia for the past is false. The sky in the East Palace is far away in Dongling. She even thought about letting the kite
The line was cut off, but she seemed to have forgotten that there was an informant named Ming Jing, who was always monitoring her actions.
She pursed her lips, her eyes wandering, and said: "Now that I have won the favor of the prince, I have made the prince hate Huanli in the palace and put down his guard against her safety. Isn't this part of the plan?"
Ming Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "My queen, I just want to remind you, don't get too involved in the drama, you will eventually return to the emperor."
Hua Yuejin secretly clenched the fist in her sleeve, turned away and said, "Of course I know."
Ming Jing took out the powder on the table, carefully touched the cracks on her face, and said: "The new skin may take three days to complete. In these three days, it is better for the empress to be more careful." p>
As soon as he finished speaking, the maid's voice came from outside the house: "I'd like to report to the princess, and the concubine would like to see you."
Hua Yuejin frowned in confusion and said, "No!"
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open. Chu Jiaoli walked in quickly and said straight to the point: "Chu Jiaoli, did you beat Xiaoli?"
Before Ming Jing had completely repaired the crack, the two of them were shocked when they saw Chu Jiaoli's intrusion.
Ming Jing stepped aside with her hands in hand, while Hua Yuejin raised her hands to cover her chin.
Across the beaded curtain, her heart was beating like a drum. She turned around and glared at Chu Jiaoli, then turned away hastily and said: "How presumptuous! This concubine of yours has no rules and regulations. I didn't let you in."
, get out of here, Princess!"
Chu Jiaoli glanced at the messy surroundings. The brocade cloth on the tea table was stained with blood, and there were red spots next to the pieces of jujube cakes that fell on the ground, extending all the way to the window. She narrowed her eyes slightly,
Said: "It's really you."
Hua Yuejin rolled her eyes and said, "So what if I was the one who hit me? I, the majestic princess, beat up a naughty wild cat. You, a little concubine, are you qualified to come and question the crime?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli showed a slightly sarcastic smile. She slowly walked to the tea table and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water and said: "The concubine of the Royal Palace is not qualified. The concubine of Zhongluo is not qualified."
Are you qualified to marry a princess?"
"You!" Hua Yuejin choked and gritted her teeth. Could it be that she was worried that Chu Jiaoli might see something about her face? She would not let go of this opportunity to throw herself into a trap and would teach her a lesson.
Yes.
She snorted coldly and said angrily: "What do you want?"
Chu Jiaoli took a sip of water, gently caressed the texture on the glass cup with her fingers, and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Give me the little pear. I can take better care of it than you."
Hearing this, Hua Yuejin paused for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of her lips. This cat was given to her by Bei Gong Tengxiao. She was worried about what to do with this annoying cat. Chu Jiaoli thought
If you want it, that’s really what you want!
She already showed an expression of disgust and said: "Take it away, take it away! Don't let her hang out in front of this princess! If I see it again, I will definitely peel off its skin and use it as a cushion!"
"You!" Chu Jiaoli glared at her, and through the bead curtain, she saw Hua Yuejin's hand touching her chin, her eyes seeming to dodge.
She slightly narrowed her peach blossom eyes and said, "Did it scratch you?"
Hua Yuejin suddenly felt guilty and said: "No."
Chu Jiaoli turned her eyes and saw that she looked a little abnormal.
Without saying anything, she slowly stood up and saw Hua Yuejin subconsciously take a step back.
