She continued to wander in the imperial garden and saw these delicate flowers. Her first reaction was that if these flowers could be made into lip balm, the color would be very unique and the price would naturally rise accordingly.
Although she wanted to pick some to make lip balm, her rationality told her not to act rashly if she wanted to survive!
After all, Xiaocui had just said that these flowers were planted by the emperor for the imperial concubine. They were symbols of love and were expensive. If she had picked a few flowers, even if the emperor did not blame him, the imperial concubine could easily
Spare her?
"Hey, what kind of flower is this?"
Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and looked at several sunset-like flowers on the ground in surprise.
The grass leaves around the flowers are green and exude the fragrance of orchids.
"Back to the young master, this is a mandala."
Xiao Cui replied.
Mandala!
How come poisonous datura grows in the royal garden?
Could it be
Thinking of some possibility, Lin Xiao couldn't help but tremble, and quickly squatted down to check the specific situation of those flowers.
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing?"
Seeing Lin Xiao squatting on the ground not knowing what she was doing, Xiaocui asked in confusion.
"Uh~~ I've never seen this flower before. I think it's novel, so I'll take a look at it more."
Lin Xiao casually made up a lie, and then simply lay down on the ground. The petals were as bright red as blood, and the flower stem was cylindrical, covered with a thick layer of calyx, and there were black patterns flowing between the calyx, which looked like blood.
traces of dye on it.
"Mr. Lin, be careful. Although this datura flower is beautiful, it is full of poison. Don't touch it!" The stem of the datura flower turned pale with fright and hurriedly warned.
"Why are there poisonous flowers growing in the Imperial Garden?"
Lin Xiao asked without thinking.
"This slave doesn't know."
Xiao Cui shook her head.
"You go down first! I'll take a look around."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and gave instructions.
After Xiaocui retreated, Lin Xiao immediately wrapped his hand with a piece of handkerchief, then uprooted the blooming mandalas and put them back into his sleeves.
Make them into psychedelic lip balm, which should be able to defend yourself.
Lin Xiao walked around the imperial garden a few more times. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he was ready to return to the palace to rest.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a woman's voice not far away.
"This time, you have to help me!"
Lin Xiao frowned, thinking, could it be "Sun Yingyi and the madman"?
She quietly hid behind the flowers and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and found a man and a woman talking. Judging from their attire, they should be palace maids and guards.
The palace maid was saying something to the guard, her tone pleading.
"How do you want me to help you?"
The guard's face clearly showed impatience.
"I have it. The child is yours. You can't deny it!"
The palace maid bit her lip, tears rolling in her eyes, as if they would fall in the next second, the pear blossoms with rain were so beautiful and touching, it made people pity her.
But Lin Xiao was extremely shocked after hearing her words.
This palace maid is actually pregnant!
The guard had a sullen face and said nothing, obviously not intending to admit his guilt.
"No, I don't care. If you are irresponsible, I will go to the emperor to complain! Then you won't be able to get anything back!"
The palace maid cried, her eyes shining with determination, making people unable to bear to refuse.
"Oh, please! When the time comes, do you think the emperor will believe the nonsense of a little palace maid or the words of me, the imperial guard?"
The guard sneered and said in a cold tone.
"you!"
The palace maid choked, her face turned as pale as paper, and her body swayed uncontrollably.
"Don't try to tie me up with children. I am a royal guard. There are many women who want to give birth to children for me. Who do you think is the oldest?"
The guard continued to sneer.
After hearing what he said, Lin Xiao almost couldn't help but rush out.
Damn it, what kind of moral bottom line is this?!
"You! You are worse than a beast!"
The palace maid's cheeks turned red with anger, her fists clenched loudly, and she wanted to rush over and tear that mouth open immediately!
But in the end she could only swallow back her anger.
"Hahaha, don't you just like me to do things worse than a beast to you?"
The guard looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his laughter full of contempt.
"brute!"
The palace maid was so angry that her chest heaved violently and her cheeks turned red.
Her face was already covered with crystal clear tears.
The guard looked at the pitiful appearance of the palace maid, sighed, touched her head, changed from his previous indifference and ruthlessness, and said softly:
"Silly girl, we don't want this child. If you really love me, just listen to me and find a way to get rid of it. When I have done something good, I will definitely ask the emperor to betroth you to me. By then, we will have a baby.
Aren’t they ten or eight big fat boys happy?”
After saying that, the guard hugged her into his arms and kissed her tenderly by the ear.
"Hmm~"
The maid's cry came from her nose, as if she agreed with the guard's words.
The two people were intimate in the imperial garden for a while, and then they left.
Standing in the dark and witnessing everything, Lin Xiao really wanted to rush up and slap the palace maid twice to wake her up to love!
"Do you believe any man's lies?!"
A cold voice suddenly floated from Lin Xiao's left side.
Lin Xiao was startled. It seemed that she was not the only one watching the show. She quickly turned her head to look.
I saw a woman in light green palace clothes standing quietly under a peach blossom tree. She wore a long and curly blue silk shawl, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were as affectionate as water.
She raised her chin slightly, looking like a queen, standing tall, as if she were the king who controlled all life and death.
What a powerful aura!
This woman looked young, but she gave people a sense of oppression like a high mountain, which made Lin Xiao breathless and involuntarily took a few steps back.
The woman noticed Lin Xiao, her lips curved slightly, she slowly approached her, and asked with a half-smile:
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Lin Xiao swallowed, forced himself to calm down and said:
"I...my name is Lin Xiao, I am the emperor, he..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman, who raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Are you the Lin Xiao who can both make salt and recite poetry?"
"Well"
Lin Xiao paused, nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
The woman looked at her carefully, and a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes:
"Can you read a poem to me?"
Lin Xiao was stunned, what kind of rhythm is this?
Why did you ask her to read poems to her?
However, since it was someone who had spoken, it was hard for Lin Xiao to refuse. Who asked this woman to call her "my wife"?
Being able to use "this palace" instead of "I" shows that her status is not low, she is either a noble concubine or a princess with her own palace!
Lin Xiao thought for a while and decided to recite a song called "Qing Ping Diao" by Lao Li to flatter the woman.
"If you are not talented, just write a poem based on the girl's fairy appearance!"
When the woman heard this, her smile bloomed, and she was so beautiful that it took her breath away.
