Seeing her coming back, Jin Gu asked in a low voice: "Master, have you seen Brother Six?"
Mrs. Liu said bitterly: "That bitch, Concubine Jin, didn't let me see Hongzhan at all. I even doubted that she was going to take the opportunity to take Hongzhan away. After all, she has never had a child herself."
Jin Gu comforted her and said: "Master, don't worry. The sixth brother was born in your ten-month pregnancy. His blood is in water. Besides, the sixth brother is no longer a baby who knows nothing. He remembers his own mother. Yesterday, the master said no." Didn't Sixth Elder Brother also listen to your words when you asked him to leave with Concubine Xi? This shows that the master cannot be replaced by anyone in Sixth Elder Brother's heart."
After listening to her words, Mrs. Liu's face softened slightly, but her resentment was still lingering. She held the armrest hard and gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I must find a way to get Hongzhan back."
"But you are like this now, Your Majesty..." Before Haitang could finish her words, Mrs. Liu had already given her a hard look and said coldly: "I know very well what I am like now, and I don't need you to remind me."
Haitang also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "This slave deserves to die!"
Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. She was like this, and she didn't even notice Jin Gu going out, until she heard Jin Gu's strange voice, "Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent people to send Got some fresh cherries."
House of Internal Affairs? Ms. Liu looked surprised. Now she can be said to have lost all favor and reliance. It would be great if the House of Internal Affairs, which has always been best at suppressing superiors and undermining, can get the promised salary. It's really surprising that cherries are specially sent here.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Liu opened her eyes and saw a little eunuch standing in front of her with her head hanging down. There was a basket of cherries on the ground. They were all bright red and the size of a man's thumb. They were the best. cherry.
Looking at these fine cherries, Mrs. Liu felt even more strange and said, "Did Qian Moduo ask you to send these?"
"It's not the money manager, it's the empress." With these words, the little eunuch raised his head, and what appeared in front of Mrs. Liu was a very familiar face, and this face also made Mrs. Liu stand in surprise. He stood up and said, "Eunuch Ning, you...did the Queen ask you to come here?"
Xiao Ningzi said with a faint smile: "Yes, the Empress knows that you have been demoted as a promise, and the sixth elder brother has been taken away again, she must be depressed, so she specially asked the slave to send a basket of cherries. But in order to avoid others Eyes and ears, the Empress asked her slaves to come here disguised as eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Although the Nala family and the Liu family have always been very close, at this time, they can still stay away from each other to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly said: "Eunuch Ning, could you please beg the Queen for me to let Hongzhan return to me?"
"Don't worry, promise. The Queen is already thinking of a way. But you also know that the emperor is very angry at the moment. It's really not the time to say this. But as long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will try my best to plead for promise. In addition, the empress also asked the servant to tell promise In a word, no matter what, you must hold back your thoughts about your son now and don't act rashly. Although the emperor has punished you this time, the empress is worried that Concubine Xi will not give up, so you must be careful and don't If she catches you in the wrong place, not even the empress will be able to protect you."
Xiao Ningzi's words made Mrs. Liu feel a little relieved, and she nodded and said: "I understand, I will definitely do what the empress said." A little impatience can ruin a big plan, and Mrs. Liu still understands this truth.
Xiao Ningzi lowered his head and said: "Now that you understand, I will go back and give my orders to the empress. I will retire."
After that, Ms. Liu really didn't go to Xianfu Palace again and stayed in Yongshou Palace all day long. But many times, the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind didn't stop. She didn't go to offend anyone, but someone wanted to offend her, such as Qi Qi.
Jiashi...
On the afternoon of the second day after Xiao Ningzi's arrival, Qi Jia suddenly appeared in the courtyard where Mrs. Liu was. After glancing around, she said to Haitang who was standing aside: "Your family agreed. Why is there no one there?"
Haitang said nervously: "To tell you the truth, the master is resting in the house."
"Have a rest, huh!" Qi Jia sneered and said, "Then you can call her out now, I want to see her."
Seeing that her tone was not kind, Haitang did not dare to say anything, so she responded quickly and stepped back quickly. After a while, she and Jin Gu helped Mrs. Liu out.
After standing still, Mrs. Liu used great perseverance to bow her head and kneel, "I have seen Yan Gui, and Yan Gui is lucky!"
Qi Jia had a proud smile on her lips. She had always been the one to salute Liu, and finally one day it was Liu's turn to salute her. This feeling was really wonderful.
Thinking like this, she said hypocritically: "Huh? What is Liu promised to say? Please speak louder, so I can't hear you clearly."
Mrs. Liu knew she did it on purpose, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the Empress also specifically asked Xiao Ningzi to give her a message, telling her to be patient and not to act rashly.
She gritted her teeth hard and said in a louder voice than before: "I have met Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan is very lucky!"
Qi Jia said with satisfaction: "Liu promised to really understand the rules, get up." After a pause, she pretended to say: "By the way, Liu agreed to live in such a small yard now, but he is still used to it. Take a look at this place, what do you want?"
It’s nothing, it’s very difficult to even turn around, tsk tsk, it’s really aggrieved that Liu agreed.”
Ms. Liu lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir, but in my opinion, this place is already very good."
Qi Jia nodded noncommittally and said: "That's right. Originally, based on your crime, you should have been thrown into the cold palace, but now you have just been relegated to an agreement, which is indeed very good."
Ms. Liu tried her best to keep her face calm and said: "Is your nobleness here just to say this? If so, then I have heard it, and your nobleness can invite you back."
Qi Jia showed a hypocritical smile, "It sounds like you don't welcome me very much?" Seeing that Liu didn't say anything, she continued: "Although there is a misunderstanding between me and Promise, it's just a misunderstanding.
In fact, I am still very concerned and agreed."
Qi Jia found that she liked calling Mrs. Liu more and more. If she could call her a useless person in the future, she would like it even more.
Ms. Liu forced a smile and said, "Thank you, noble sir. Everything is fine with me, you can rest assured."
Listening to her words, Mrs. Qi Jia raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you really thanking me for your promise? Then why are you reluctant to part with a cup of tea?"
"I only have coarse tea here, I'm afraid I will neglect the noble people of Yan." As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, Mrs. Qi Jia said: "It doesn't matter, I don't mind it."
