Hongli didn't notice anything unusual about Xianyue. After having lunch, he said, "Why have I been here for so long and I haven't seen Aluo? Where did she go?"
Xianyue stood up, took some jasmine tea to rinse her mouth and handed it to Hongli, saying: "She said she missed her family, so I asked her to come out of the palace to have a look. Sometimes, I really envy her because she has family to visit. No.
Like a concubine... she doesn't even have a single relative."
Seeing her crying expression, Hongli pulled her and sat down in the chair next to him, "Don't think about the past anymore. Besides, who said you don't have any relatives? Am I not your relative? Maybe there will be us in the future.
Where’s the child?”
Hearing the word "child", Xianyue's heart softened, and she said softly: "I also hope that I can give birth to an heir for the emperor like the empress and concubine Zhe. It's a pity that after so many years, there has been no news.
I am worried that... I am not that lucky. After all, I have done many wrong things in the past. Although the emperor has forgiven me, God may not be willing to forgive me."
A dark and unclear look flashed across Hongli's eyes. The next moment, he held Xianyue's hand tightly and said, "It's been so many years, why are you still thinking about this? It's okay. I believe that day will come sooner or later.
When the time comes, I will give birth to an elder brother who is as smart as Yong Lian."
Xianyue nodded, but she didn't understand why Hongli's fingers were colder and icier than hers...
A Luo waited until noon before returning. As soon as he saw Xianyue, he took out eight boxes of rouge from his sleeve. Xianyue couldn't wait to take them and smell them carefully. Then he smelled all the rouges that Xianyue brought twice.
, his expression slowly darkened.
A Luo noticed the change in the expression on her face and whispered: "Master, what's wrong?"
Xianyue said nothing, only threw the rouge to Aluo and let her smell it by herself. Aluo was not as sensitive to smells as Xianyue. After smelling it for a long time, she said uncertainly: "Master, I bought this."
Several boxes seem to have the same fragrance as the first time I brought them, is it possible that these are also inferior goods?"
Xianyue sneered: "Didn't Qian Moduo say that those boxes of defective goods have been included in the tributes? How come there are so many more and they are still sold in the store? Don't you think it's strange?"
"There is something wrong, but I can't tell what the problem is." As soon as A'luo finished speaking, Xia Yue said: "Qian Moduo said that these so-called inferior rouges were caused by the lack of spices.
There is a subtle difference in the aroma between the two. But in my opinion, it should be that the rouge I used contains more spices than usual."
A Luo was horrified and said: "Master, you...are you saying that the rouge you used was mixed with something?"
"I don't know." Xianyue said with some annoyance. After walking back and forth in the palace for a few steps, she said coldly: "Tomorrow, you can go out of the palace with the rouge that I usually use, and you may want to see a doctor.
No matter what method you use, you must find out what is in this rouge."
"But I just left the palace today. If I go out tomorrow, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious. It's better to wait two days..."
Before A Luo finished speaking, he was interrupted by an excited voice, "Go if I ask you to go, I... I can't wait, I want to know immediately what is mixed with this rouge!"
Xianyue had actually vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to think along this line of thinking. What if... what if this was true, then she would be like a stupid monkey, being played around in all these years?
, and the person who played tricks on her is still... still...
Xianyue took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and said to A Luo who stood aside and did not dare to say anything: "Anyway, you do as I say, tomorrow... tomorrow I will know about this Rouge
There’s something in there.”
Although Xianyue didn't elaborate, Ah Luo hadn't seen her so excited for a long time, so he knew it was definitely not a trivial matter.
When A Luo came out of the palace the next day to find several perfume makers, and finally asked Yan Shuangfei about the ingredients of the rouge, he finally understood why Xianyue was so excited. If it were her, she would be even more excited, because there is a spice in it.
It turned out to be...it turned out to be...
"Musk!" Xia Yue coldly spat out the words that A Luo had been saying but had been unable to say.
"Yes, it is musk, but... But I asked clearly at the beginning, and I was sure that it did not contain musk, so how could it suddenly happen like this? They say that musk can easily make people infertile, but pure concubines and others also use it, and it is not the same that they gave birth to three children.
Brother? Musk, why is there musk?"
While A Luo was talking incoherently, Xianyue calmed down unusually and said in a cold and chilling voice: "Of course they can, because there is no musk in the rouge they used. Only I... only...
There is something in the rouge I use. I have not had any children for many years, and I have not even been pregnant. It is because of this gift."
A Luo raised his head blankly, and soon turned into a look of resentment, "Why is this happening? Who...who wants to harm the master? If he does such a despicable thing, he must be punished severely by the emperor!"
"Severe punishment..." Xianyue murmured and repeated this sentence, and a sharp laugh suddenly burst out of her mouth.
Seeing Xianyue like this, A'luo thought she was overly resentful. He waited until Xianyue stopped laughing and then said: "Master, have you ever thought about who harmed you? Tell me who it is."
Who is so despicable and sinister?"
Xianyue slowly stroked away the tears from her laughter, but as soon as she stroked them away, more tears fell, and eventually her hands and cheeks were wet.
A Luo was so frightened by her reaction that he said in a panic: "Master, you... just speak, don't scare me."
She didn't say it was okay. The more she said it, the more Xianyue burst into tears. She choked and said, "Aluo, do you know? Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. I am still the same person. Nothing has changed. Yan Shuangfei...
It’s not the beautiful metaphor of butterflies and swallows flying together at all, but the meaning of laborious swallows flying together! Everything is in vain..."
A'luo was confused by what she said. He pulled Xianyue's cold and moist hands tightly and said: "Master, if you...if you have anything, please tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. Nothing has changed. Why can't I listen to your words?"
I understand. Are you worried that you won’t be able to conceive a child if you use musk for a long time? No, there are so many doctors in the palace, you will definitely get what you want.”
Xianyue shook her head in pain and said: "It's not a child, but...Hongli!"
A Luo was so frightened that he didn't care about the difference between superiority and inferiority. He quickly went up and covered Xianyue's mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Master, how can you call the emperor by his name? If someone hears it, you will report it to the emperor and the queen mother.
It's terrible!" Fortunately, the doors and windows were closed, otherwise she would have been worried all night long and couldn't sleep. After all, she had only been in contact with the people in this palace for a few days, and she couldn't even talk about knowing everything, let alone being loyal.
