Here, the Queen Mother used the remnants of the third prince's party to control the Chang'an Palace, creating riots in front of everyone, making it difficult for the new emperor to get away, and she actually managed to hide it.
But when Bai Hua got the news from the Queen Mother, he felt uneasy.
She is well-dressed and well-dressed. Who in the world would hate this? Besides, the opportunity to escape from the confinement of the cold palace is right in front of her, and she naturally wants to fight for it.
But she never thought of killing someone from the first house!
The Queen Mother helped her and treated her like her own daughter. She was grateful and willing to be the eldest princess's substitute.
It was only now that she realized that she wanted a golden life and the Queen Mother wanted power. No one was superior or inferior, but the Queen Mother's means to achieve her goal was something she didn't even dare to think about.
Bai Hua couldn't stop turning the bracelet on his wrist. This bracelet was made of fine southern red agate, carved with orchids and orchids. The pure red color was like the blood of a sparrow weeping, and it was very bright.
Right now, the bracelet was a little hot to the touch. She was afraid that the red on it would one day be stained by human blood.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't resist the fear in her heart, so she took off the bracelet and put it on the table, "Just put it away for me."
The serving maid was suspicious, "Girl, don't you always like this bracelet?" She heard about this jade supporter, and even wore it when bathing.
Bai Hua said in a low voice, "It's such a precious thing, I'm afraid it will be broken by my hands while wearing it."
The palace maid's expression did not change, but she secretly sneered. After all, it was the maid's despicable life, and she felt uneasy even wearing a bracelet. She did not understand the deep meaning of Bai Hua's words, and even thought that this white girl was not as timid as the previous one.
It's tight, I've learned the style, but I don't have the charm.
She knew that the palace maid looked down upon her, and she felt even more guilty, so she walked towards the imperial dining room without saying a word.
.
There was not a single person in the huge Chang'an Palace, but there were many guards outside the palace.
Having not touched a grain of rice for a long time, Ruan Yuyi's body was naturally unable to bear it. Her face was almost drained of color, and she was curled up on the couch, covered with a thin silver-red flowered blanket. Her broken hair floated slightly under her breath.
I don't know if he fell asleep or not.
At this moment, even if I go out and make some noise, I have no energy left.
Since most of the people in the palace were in the lower chamber and there was no one in the palace, Bai Hua randomly found an excuse to fool the guards outside and got in easily without even being informed.
When she heard the palace door creaking shut behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her hands holding the hook of the "birdcage" were already slightly wet with sweat.
Walking straight into the palace, Mu Xiang was alert. She stood up quickly and said, "What are you doing here?" The Queen Mother's intentions were obvious, so people from the Queen Mother's party were not welcome to see her.
Bai Hua shrank, looked around with his eyes, lowered his voice and said to the palace maid on the side, "Good sister, go and close the door tightly."
The palace maid was happy to see her push away the glory, and while secretly thinking about how to report this matter to the Queen Mother later, she answered the call.
Seeing the palace maid checking the doors and windows and turning back, Bai Hua's heart stopped pounding so fast.
She walked to a nearby table, placed the "birdcage" on it, and opened the silk covering it. Inside was actually a suitcase containing porridge, side dishes, pasta, snacks, etc. It wasn't anything exquisite.
But they are all very hungry.
As soon as the lid was opened, the heat steamed out.
"Aunt Muxiang, I can't bring too much, so I'll ask your master to get up first and use some," she said.
Mu Xiang still looked wary, "What do you mean, but the Queen Mother ordered you to come?" Thinking about it, it's not quite right. If it was really the Queen Mother's order, why bother to go through all the troubles to control Chang'an Palace.
She hesitated again and again, then went to Ruan Yuyi's bedside, patted her shoulder gently, and called her.
"Hel me up." Ruan Yuyi's voice was as thin as a mosquito, as if it would disappear with the wind in the next moment.
Mu Xiang supported her lower back and placed a soft pillow behind her so that she could lean on it more comfortably. She was leaning on the couch, with dark hair and fair skin, and her eyelashes were slightly drooped, looking pretty and fragile.
Bai Hua didn't even dare to speak loudly, "Your Majesty, this... I didn't know that the Queen Mother would use such methods. If I knew, I would definitely dissuade her." This was said to her on purpose, just to let her hear it.
Ruan Yuyi should not bear any grudge against herself.
She took the risk and sent food, so she must have done her best. As for any shortcomings in the future, it has nothing to do with her. Even if Chang'an Palace turned into an innocent soul, she could not be found.
"Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will find out?" Ruan Yuyi tilted her head slightly and looked into her eyes.
She quickly said, "I never informed the Queen Mother that she had found an excuse to coax the guards outside, so no one would find out." She thought she had managed to hide it perfectly.
Ruan Yuyi's eyes moved slightly and fell on the maid beside the white painting. The maid hurriedly lowered her eyes.
"In that case, thank you very much."
"How can I deserve your thanks from your Majesty?" Bai Hua looked more relaxed when he saw that his goal was achieved, and began to talk about it, "My Majesty has not eaten for a long time, so she needs to eat some thin porridge first. After she gets used to it, she can use other foods.
of."
There were so many noodles stuffed inside, it was probably enough for the palace servants to share.
She nodded slightly and said, "Muxiang, give it to Miss Bai."
"Miss Bai, please stop." Mu Xiangxing came to Bai Hua's side and signaled. He didn't actually send the person out of the palace gate, fearing that the guards would be suspicious, but he just sent the person out of the hall, so he turned back.
.
Mu Xiang checked it with a silver hairpin to make sure it could be eaten, then took a small bowl and poured out the hot porridge so that it could cool down.
Porridge is white porridge, made from japonica rice. The rice grains inside are boiled until soft and slightly open. The hot air in the bowl collides with the cold air in the inner room to create white mist, lingering and rising.
Ruan Yuyi clasped the edge of the bowl and said, "Give it to me. Go and give some to them, and remember to use some yourself." The heat of the white porridge spread to her fingertips, making her hands soft and warm.
"Miss, it doesn't matter, slaves," Mu Xiang said.
She urged, "Go quickly."
Mu Xiang's eyes filled with tears, she bowed and said, "Yes."
She watched the woody fragrance go away, then picked up the spoon, stirred it in the bowl a few times, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into her mouth. She didn't even have time to chew, her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed it subconsciously.
This spoonful of white porridge suddenly awakened the hunger that she had almost forgotten, and the cramping pain returned in her abdomen, as if a piece of her life had been cut out. Fortunately, the antidote was right in front of her.
After that, she used it more slowly, and her strength seemed to be gathering back to her body bit by bit, so she finished the bowl of white porridge lukewarmly but continuously.
The food Bai Hua sent could solve her urgent need. What would she do after that?
She no longer held out hope that he would find anything strange in Chang'an Palace - maybe he had tacitly agreed, but she couldn't say for sure.
