Xiao Ningzi smiled and said: "We got together early in the morning to gamble. It's really addictive. What do you think? Judging from your proud look, you must have won a lot of money, right?"
Ji Liu chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to the Queen and Eunuch Ning. Ever since I paid off my gambling debt with the money given by the Queen yesterday, my luck has become smoother. I win whatever I bet.
No, just two
With God's skill, I won more than a dozen taels." At this point, he rolled his eyes, took out a handful of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Xiao Ningzi, "This is my filial piety to Eunuch Ning.
, I hope my father-in-law won’t dislike it.”
"Okay, it's not easy for you to win some money. Why would our family want your money? Take it back." After that, Xiao Ningzi chuckled and said: "It seems that the bad luck that has been hanging on you has gone.
, from now on it will be a matter of whether Ji Tai comes."
"Good words from Eunuch Chengning." After Ji Liu finished these words, Xiao Ningzi said, "Master wants to see you, so hurry up and come with our family."
Upon hearing this, Ji Liu did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed Xiao Ningzi to Kunning Palace. Along the way, Xiao Ningzi deliberately kept a long distance in front of him, but no one could see him.
What comes out?
After Ji Liu saw Nala, he immediately clapped his sleeves and knelt down to salute, "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed."
Nala was playing with a stew pot. Hearing Ji Liu's words, he put down the stew pot and said, "There is no need to be polite in front of me. Get up."
After Ji Liu stood up, he glanced at Nala and whispered, "I wonder what your Majesty said when she asked Eunuch Ning to call the servants here?"
"Ji Liu, are any of the people gambling with you working as servants in the imperial kitchen?" Nala's words made Ji Liu a little stunned. After a while, he said: "As for the queen, there are indeed a few who work in the imperial kitchen, but they
Just doing odd jobs in the imperial kitchen."
"Then what's your relationship with them?" Ji Liu didn't know why Nala was so interested in this, and said truthfully: "I have a good relationship with one of them. He lost money in gambling today, and I lent him five taels."
.”
His words made Nala's eyes light up, and he said with a gentle expression: "Ji Liu, do you still remember what the former Japanese Palace said to you?"
"I remember, the empress asked me to take something from the Cultivation Heart Hall to give to the empress." Speaking of this, Ji Liu's heart pounded, not knowing what Nala wanted.
At this time, Nala suddenly said: "Actually, things like that are not absolutely necessary, but in this case, you have to do another thing for me."
Xiao Ningzi heard that something was wrong. Ji Liu was an important chess piece for them to obtain the Royal Seal. They just changed it anyway. Just as he was about to remind him a few words, Na Lashi had already given him a wink to signal him not to say more.
On the other side, Ji Liu was overjoyed to hear that he didn't have to steal anything from the Yangxin Palace, and said quickly: "No matter what you say, I will go through fire and water to do it for you." He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Nala would change.
idea.
Nala glanced at Du Juan, who immediately picked up the stew pot that Nala was playing with from the table and handed it to Ji Liu.
Ji Liu said blankly: "Empress, what are you..."
"I know that the emperor has been simmering ginseng soup in the imperial dining room for the past two days. Please ask the little eunuch who has made friends with you to replace the stew pot used by the emperor with this one. Once this is done, you can use it.
With the money I will give you, you can spend the rest of your life comfortably."
Ji Liu looked at the stew pot in his hand hesitantly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, can I ask more about why you did this?" It was about Yinzhen, and he didn't dare to agree casually.
Nala smiled and said, "Ji Liu, you have made great progress. You dare to question me like this."
Ji Liu knelt down quickly and said: "I don't dare, but the empress suddenly asked me to change the stew pot. I am really... really..."
"Are you afraid that I will tamper with you in the stew pot?" Facing Nala's words, Ji Liu did not dare to say anything. He only stared down at the gold bricks as smooth as a mirror. At this time, he heard Nala's faint voice in his ears.
He sighed, "Oh, actually, I don't like to do such secretive things, but the emperor favors Concubine Xinxi and is not enough to alienate me. He is also suspicious of me."
Under Ji Liu's puzzled gaze, she said: "This palace sent people to buy this stew cup from outside the palace at a high price. It is thicker than ordinary stew cups, making the stew of medicinal materials or food more flavorful and more effective.
Good, and I have been blessed by eminent monks. I told the emperor that it is a pity that the emperor listened to Concubine Xi's instigation and felt that I did this with malicious intentions and wanted to harm him, so he refused to change the stew pot.
"
After Ji Liu heard this, he quickly said: "The Queen and the Emperor have a deep love for each other. Even if everyone in the world wants to harm the Emperor, the Queen will never do it. It is really inappropriate for Concubine Xi to drive a wedge between the Emperor and the Emperor like this."
Nala smiled bitterly and said: "Even your servant understands the truth, but the emperor does not understand it. Sometimes I think about it, and it really makes me feel heartbroken." At this point, she took a deep breath and said: "But no matter what, I, this palace
We all hope that the Emperor will be well, so we can only use this shady method."
"I understand that your Majesty is truly affectionate and loyal to the Emperor!" As he spoke, Ji Liu held up the stew pot and said, "Then I will go and do it now."
Nala stopped him and said with a half-smile: "What's the matter? Don't you doubt me now? Do you want to open the stew pot and see if there is anything weird in it?"
Ji Liu said sarcastically: "No one dares to doubt your Majesty!"
After sending Ji Liu away, Xiao Ningzi could finally say what she had been holding back for a long time, "Master, we roped in Ji Liu to raise the imperial seal of the Heart Hall, but now you have asked him to change the stew pot. The imperial seal
What should I do? If I try to find someone else now, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Nala smiled slightly and said to Du Juan: "Tell Xiao Ningzi what the mystery is in that stew pot."
Dujuan didn't know Nala's overall plan, so when she heard the word "Yu Xi", she was a little frightened. After hearing Nala calling her, she hurriedly suppressed the surprise in her heart, nodded in agreement, and then said: "Ning
Father-in-law, although the stew pot looks like an ordinary stew pot, its side walls are hollow and there are many small holes in the inner wall that are difficult to see. The master cut all the ginseng you bought into slices and sandwiched them between
Inside."
Du Juan's words suddenly reminded Xiao Ningzi of something, and she asked in horror: "Is it the same stew pot that Wen Ru used when he harmed the Liu family?"
"Yes, I asked Du Juan to find this stew pot with great difficulty outside the palace yesterday. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Wen Ruqing, otherwise I would not have thought of such a method."
"I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I don't understand what the master is talking about." Of course he heard Du Juan talking about filling the stew pot with ginseng, but ginseng is a nourishing thing, so doing so would not be harmful to Yinzhen at all.
If it has any impact, it will actually help improve the condition, which is completely contrary to their previous plan.
