However, Xu Yingying took a closer look at Cuiliu.
Even though he knew that Su Jinxiu had been tortured a lot in the imperial dining room during this period, she might be a little haggard, but she looked like this.
It's really disappointing. It's really too bad. She doesn't look like she can stand out even if she is a maid in the palace.
Although Xiao Jingze is not a person who values beauty.
But isn’t this vision too bad?
And he doesn't look very smart.
Could it be that Xiao Jingze likes this kind of ordinary-looking, silly and silly woman?
Although it was strange, I didn’t think much about it.
"Okay, get up!
What is your name? I will ask someone to take you back to the palace to change into clean clothes."
Since she had to pretend not to know her, Xu Yingying naturally had to pretend to ask her name.
Cuiliu's face was full of gratitude and she stood up slowly.
"Slave Cuiliu, thank you for taking me in..."
Hearing this unfamiliar name, the kind smile on Xu Yingying's face froze.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Cuiliu thought her voice was too soft, so she spoke louder.
"My slave Cuiliu, I have met your empress.
In the past, slaves worked in the imperial kitchen.
I once met the empress from a distance, and at that time I felt that the empress was the most beautiful woman in the world..."
Xu Yingying didn't hear a word of the compliments that followed.
He put his hands in his sleeves, and the bright red kodan almost pinched into his palms.
"Who gave you the task of delivering plum blossoms today?"
Damn Wang Tian, didn’t you say that everything has been arranged?
Why have everyone changed now?
Cuiliu didn't dare to say that she stole Su Jinxiu's job. After thinking about it, she made up a reason.
"Another palace maid is picking plum blossoms in the plum garden. She is too busy, so I asked my servant to help me.
The servant helped her make this trip..."
Xu Yingying closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and asked.
"The palace maid, is her name Su Jinxiu?"
Cuiliu nodded: "Yes, but how do you know?"
Xu Yingying took a mouthful of old blood and almost vomited it out.
It's hard to vent in front of everyone.
She had spent so much time arranging it, and today she finally waited until the time was right.
If it was Su Jinxiu who was being punished here, she would come forward to help now.
Not only did Su Jinxiu say that she was completely devoted to her, she would definitely remember her as a kindhearted person.
But I don't want to think that all my hard work will be in vain.
He saved a self-righteous donkey and said something about helping Su Jinxiu.
She must have stolen Su Jinxiu's job. It's not like she didn't know about the dirty things in the harem.
I just didn't expect that these stupid things would ruin her business.
Knowing that she had saved the wrong person, Xu Yingying changed her previous kindness.
He stood up quickly, and the hem of his skirt brushed across Cuiliu's face coldly.
"Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished.
To avoid others saying that there are no rules in the palace.
Take it down and throw it to the Division of Punishment to teach you..."
His tone was cold, not as gentle as before.
Before Cuiliu understood what was going on, she was dragged away by the eunuch.
She finally came to her senses and shouted for help.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. My Majesty, please spare me!"
The people who had just knelt on the ground watched Xu Yingying's figure go away.
Cold sweat broke out on my back, and everyone said that the palace was a cannibal quagmire.
Today they have seen what it means to change one's face in one second.
One moment he was smiling, but the next moment he changed his face and killed the palace maid.
Horrible, really terrible.
At this moment, Su Jinxiu was holding plum blossoms and arranging them in the greenhouse built in the imperial garden.
Wang Tian came in from outside and wanted to see how the decoration was inside.
When I saw Su Jinxiu, I felt like I was seeing a ghost.
"You, why are you here?
You, shouldn't you be..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tian covered his mouth.
It was so dangerous that I almost let it slip.
But why is Su Jinxiu here?
If she is here, then who is it that Concubine Xian is trying to save?
Su Jinxiu seemed not to understand Wang Tian's words, so she inserted the last plum blossom.
"I have met my father-in-law, but I wonder who he is looking for?
I'm done here, how about I help my father-in-law look for it?"
Wang Tian knew that he was going to do something bad, so he didn't bother to talk to Su Jinxiu. He glared at her fiercely, turned around and walked out.
Su Jinxiu looked at Wang Tian's back and curled her lips.
Do you really think she doesn't know what they are doing? The birds told her all about it when she was picking flowers in the plum garden.
When she was worried about how to avoid it, Cuiliu came to her door.
He took the flowers from her with coercion and inducement, saying that she was the one to deliver them.
Of course she said nothing and nodded in agreement.
After Cuiliu left, she picked flowers and came to the Imperial Garden through another road.
Looking at Wang Tian's posture, Cuiliu is afraid that something will happen to him now.
However, it's none of her business, Cuiliu brought it upon herself.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard an exclamation from outside.
"Sister Su, is it you?"
Su Jinxiu looked back and saw that the person coming was Li Yanran, and she immediately smiled.
Turn around and step forward, holding her hand.
"Yanran, you also entered the palace today?
How are you these days? I see that my income has decreased a lot."
Li Yanran's eyes immediately turned red when she heard Su Jinxiu's voice.
"My grandfather was not in good health these days, and I was worried, so I couldn't eat or sleep.
I wanted to go find you, but I was afraid of causing trouble to you.
But I didn't expect to meet you in the palace today.
We are really destined."
Not many people knew that Su Jinxiu was invited to the palace. She left in a hurry and did not have time to tell others.
Li Yanran didn't know, and it was understandable.
Su Jinxiu couldn't bear to see Li Yanran like this.
"You wait here for me for a while, I'll go and come back."
She ran outside to a deserted place, found a jar and squeezed some spiritual spring water.
Then go back and hand it over to Li Yanran.
"This is mountain spring water brought down from the mountain. I heard that the Imperial Hospital uses this spring water to cook medicine.
The effect is so good that you take it back and give it to your grandfather.
It should make the medicine more effective. Don't worry, you're not married yet.
Your grandfather has always been in good health and will definitely get better."
Li Yanran looked at the jar of water and couldn't help crying.
"Sister Su, what should I do?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty is afraid that he will summon me into the palace.
If I don't obey, I'm afraid my grandfather will be implicated..."
The emperor has mentioned this matter more than once since he beat her and gave birth to a hairpin.
At first, my grandfather could pretend to be deaf and mute, citing her young age as an excuse.
But one time the emperor got angry and gave advice to the officials.
An unexpected misfortune occurred and the family died tragically.
The mood in the court changed. When the emperor mentioned this matter again, no one dared to stop him.
Grandfather could not find a reason to refuse, nor did he know what the emperor said.
He was actually sick because of his anger. This time he went to the palace to appreciate the plum blossoms, but his grandfather didn't know about it.
But she understood that these were the emperor's wishes.
She had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing Li Yanran crying so sadly, Su Jinxiu quickly hugged her and patted her shoulder.
"Don't be anxious, isn't this matter not settled yet?
Otherwise, when the regent comes back, I can help you think of a solution?"
