Jin Gu smiled slightly and said: "Yan Changzai has suffered so much injustice, and he must be angry and annoyed with Concubine Xi now. Although she is not favored today, who knows what will happen in the future."
Mrs. Liu sneered and said: "Concubine Xi always likes to pretend to be gentle and stand up for others, otherwise I wouldn't be able to set up such a trap for her. But I really didn't expect that after so much, Concubine Xi is still so naive.
However, there is no doubt that she can sit in the position of a noble concubine. It can only be said that she is very lucky and has the emperor's favor. Otherwise, she would have died countless times." After that, she held her sleeves and said: "Let's go, let's go.
Go over and take a look.”
"Yes." Jin Gu held an umbrella with one hand and helped Liu with the other as she walked in the direction of Yan Changzai. In front of her, the little eunuchs quickly swept away the snow accumulated on the ground to avoid slipping Liu.
The palace maid beside Yan Chang was the first to notice Mrs. Liu and whispered: "Master, isn't that Empress Qian? What is she doing here?"
Hearing this, Yan Chang trembled, stopped what she was doing and looked up, and sure enough she saw Madam Liu walking towards her with a smile on her face, her eyes that were originally full of hatred were even colder at this moment.
At the extreme, it was even colder than the snow in the sky.
"Why would she come here? It's just to see me make a fool of myself. I'm a humble concubine. It's not enough to hurt me, but she also comes here to ridicule me. She really thinks I'm a clay figure who can't be manipulated by her!"
The palace servant heard something was wrong and quickly advised: "Don't be angry, Chang Zai. After all, she is the lord of the first palace and has six elder brothers. If you offend her, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the master."
"She already dislikes me." After speaking coldly, Yan Changzai lowered his head and continued to sweep the snow on the ground.
Mrs. Liu didn't know that Ling Ruo had already seen through her plan. She just said that everything was as she expected. When she came to Yan Chang, she pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, it's freezing cold today."
Yes, why is Yan Changzai clearing the snow here? You can just let the slaves do this kind of menial work, why bother to do it yourself? Come on, go back to the house to warm yourself up, don't get cold."
Liu's hypocrisy made Yan Changzai disgusted. He said without raising his head: "I was ordered by the imperial concubine to sweep the snow here. How dare you go back?"
Mrs. Liu looked puzzled and said: "Punishing snow for punishment? What on earth is going on? Why is the imperial concubine punishing you for such a slave job for no reason?"
Seeing that Mr. Liu had been pretending to be ignorant, Yan Changzai finally lost his temper. He raised his head and said angrily: "Why do you want me to clear the snow? Don't you know the best? Why do you ask here knowingly? Don't you think so?"
Is it hypocritical?”
Her words made Mrs. Liu's heart skip a beat. Before she could speak, Jin Gu already said, "Why does Yan Changzai speak like this? My master also cares about you. Why do you still say that my master is hypocritical?"
"Originally!" Yan Changzai was about to argue with her. The palace attendant behind her looked at her sleeves and whispered: "Master, please don't argue with Concubine Qian, otherwise she will come to Concubine Qian's ears again.
Wouldn't it be troublesome for you to say that you are wrong? Let's forget it."
Although her voice was soft, Mrs. Liu still heard it. She frowned and said: "What are you talking about? How could I go to the imperial concubine's ears to say something wrong with you? Yan Chang is here, do you have any feelings for me?"
What misunderstanding?"
"It's not a misunderstanding, it's a fact!" Yan Changzai threw away the broom in his hand, stared at Mrs. Liu and said, "I dare to ask, did you see my concubine teaching a few servants here yesterday who didn't clean the floor?
"
A trace of surprise flashed across Ms. Liu's eyes. How could she know about this? Moreover, she had told the eunuchs not to tell them what happened to her. Why would Yan Changzai know about it?
Mrs. Liu's silence made Yan Changzai even more sure, and he sneered: "Your Majesty, if you don't speak, you mean that the incident is true. Later, you told the Imperial Concubine about it, and you had to punish me to clear the snow here."
No. My concubine, I ask myself, I have never offended you, why do you treat me like this? If you are dissatisfied with me, just teach me face to face, why do you need to use hidden tricks behind your back?"
Jin Gu said coldly: "How dare you! Yan Changzai, how dare you talk to the empress like this."
"I'm just telling the truth. Why, doesn't it sound good to your ears? But your master did such a thing, and I never wronged her even a word!" Yan Changzai is not a good-tempered person. Normally,
Because the Liu family had a higher status than her and had a son, she did not dare to be too presumptuous, but this time it was obvious that she had been harmed by the Liu family. How could she swallow this sigh of relief.
Mrs. Liu thought for a long time and said: "Yan Changzai really misunderstood. Yes, I saw you reprimanding those servants who did not work carefully, but I never mentioned your words in front of Concubine Xi.
Where did you hear all this?”
Yan Changzai sneered and said: "Eunuch Yang said it himself, can it be false? The imperial concubine originally just asked me to recite the Tao Te Ching, but it was the imperial concubine who said that this punishment was not enough, and you insisted that I sweep it here.
Xue. Now that you have seen what you want to see, can you go?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't understand why. Mrs. Niu Hulu somehow knew that she had asked those little eunuchs to beg her, and then deliberately sent Yang Hai to say those words in front of Yan Chang.
, making Yan Changzai think that she was instigating everything behind her back, and she hated herself to the core. Such a Niu Hulu clan, he really underestimated her.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Liu shook her head slightly and said: "It seems that I won't believe anything Yan Changzai says. That's all, I'd better leave first and come back to talk to you another day."
Yan Changzai said in a blunt tone: "No need, I have nothing to say to my concubine and your empress." If she hadn't remembered the difference in status, how could she have let it go so easily and harmed Mrs. Liu? She was really helpless, instead of watching Mrs. Liu in
It's an eyesore, so it's better to let her go quickly.
Mrs. Liu glanced at her and said, "Aunt Jin, let's go."
When Mrs. Liu was taking steps, Yan Changzai also bent down to pick up the broom he had just thrown on the ground. The broom was lying a little in front of Mrs. Liu. Yan Changzai had already picked up the broom and stood up, but for some reason he suddenly let go.
, causing the broom to fall to the ground again, Liu
Shi just happened to step over, and by chance, he stepped on the handle of the broom. He lost his balance and fell forward. Fortunately, Jingu held him back, so he didn't fall down like Yan Changzai did before.
On the ground, even if it is like this, it is still in a miserable state.
Jin Gu saw Mrs. Liu's expression of pain and said nervously: "What's wrong, Master?"
Mrs. Liu looked down at the foot that she had just stepped on the broom, took in a breath of cold air and said, "I'm fine, but my foot hurts."
"I must have sprained my foot just now." After saying this, Jin Gu raised her head and stared at Yan Changzai, who looked as if nothing had happened, and said coldly: "Yan Changzai, you are so brave, you actually hurt my master on purpose."
