Before Zhichun could agree, A Luo, who was slumped in the chair and unconscious, had already opened his eyes and said softly: "My slave is fine, Master, don't worry."
Xianyue looked at her in shock, and after a while she said, "Didn't you faint? Why are you okay again?"
A Luo stood up and bowed, and said with a smile: "This slave is not fainted at all. It was the second elder brother who asked this slave to pretend to be faint. If not, how could this slave come back at this moment?"
Xianyue was convinced, but at the same time, corresponding doubts arose, "You fainted for no reason like this, didn't the queen get suspicious?"
A Luo pursed his lips and said: "It's not like he fainted for no reason. Not long after the master left, the second elder brother dragged the queen out to build a snowman together, and then he deliberately threw snowballs at the slave. In fact, at that time, he had quietly
Tell the slave to look for an opportunity to pretend to be faint. When Jin Qiu came to check the slave's breathing, the slave deliberately pretended to have a weak breath, so that it would be easier for the second elder brother to act."
After A Luo repeated Yong Lian's words, Xianyue couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Yong Lian is so weird, it's a shame he figured it out."
"The second elder brother is really smart and clever. The most rare thing is that at such a young age, he can distinguish right from wrong without being influenced by others. But he is much better than the Queen."
"Queen..." Speaking of Mingyu, Xianyue couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know when the queen will be able to get out of the horns. Before that, no matter what I do, she will think she has ulterior motives."
At this time, Qi Kuan had already returned from seeing Jin Qiu off. Hearing this, he said, "Master, let everything take its course. Don't worry about this."
"That's the only way." After Xianyue responded, she turned her attention to A'luo again and said, "Although you have never fainted, you still have to let Zhichun go after kneeling in the snow for so long.
Make a bowl of soup and tea to force out the cold air, otherwise it will be too late when you get sick."
After learning that the spring was coming, Xianyue said: "Qi Kuan, has the Changchun Palace sent a booklet recording the various expenses in the palace?"
Qi Kuan bowed and said: "If you want to reply to the master, I haven't done it yet, but do you want me to go to Changchun Palace to urge you?"
A Luo sneered from the side and said: "It seems that Concubine Zhe is really reluctant to hand over the power of co-administrator of the Sixth Palace. It's just that she can delay it for how long. In the end, she still has to hand it over."
Xianyue thought for a moment and said: "There is no need to urge me. If I still don't see the booklet in three days, I will go and talk to the Queen Mother."
As A Luo said, Concubine Zhe was extremely unwilling to hand over the power of the Sixth Palace, so as soon as Ling Ruo said those words, she immediately went to see Mingyu, but as time passed by,
There was always no movement on Mingyu's side, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
Lin Fu, the chief eunuch of the Changchun Palace, came in with a bird's nest and said, "Master, the bird's nest is stewed. I've specially poured the milkvetch honey on it. It's fragrant and sweet. Please try it."
Concubine Zhe said angrily: "Put it down, I'm not in the mood."
"Master, are you still angry about what happened yesterday?" As soon as Lin Fu finished speaking, Concubine Zhe said excitedly: "As soon as she came back, she took away the power that I had waited so hard for so long. How can I
Aren't you angry? Yesterday, the emperor was still resting in her palace. Whenever I think of these things, I will be... so angry that I want to kill this bitch! I don't know what the queen mother values in her, and she actually praises her like this."
"Master, calm down!" Lin Fu persuaded in a low voice: "She has been with the Queen Mother in Qingliang Temple for so long, and they also experienced the earthquake together. It is inevitable that the Queen Mother will rely on her more."
Concubine Zhe sneered: "Yi Zhong, what qualifications does she have? Who in the palace doesn't know her origins and the incident of Baihe Tu? Although it was later said that it was Xiao Liuzi who did it, who knows if it really has nothing to do with her."
.”
"I know that my master is not feeling well, but for now, you can only endure it for the time being. Don't offend the Queen Mother just for the sake of anger. It will not be worth the loss."
"I know." Concubine Zhe clenched her silver teeth, slammed the table hard, and said: "That's all, go and send those booklets recording the palace's use to Yanxi Palace. Today's hatred, I will get it back someday.
.”
Lin Fu rolled his eyes and said: "Actually, if the master wants to make Concubine Xian sad, it is not that there is no way at all. We can..." He whispered in Concubine Zhe's ear. Under her words, Concubine Zhe
His eyes lit up and he sneered: "Okay, just do it your way, Concubine Xian... I won't let her have an easy time."
Lin Fu lowered his eyes and withdrew. In the evening, he led two young eunuchs to appear in the Yanxi Palace. Xianyue was standing under the eaves watching the palace servants clearing the snow. When she saw him coming in, the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
Lin Fu stepped forward and called Qian'er and said: "I would like to pay my respects to Concubine Xian. May your concubine be blessed!"
Xianyue glanced at the two young eunuchs behind Lin Fu, each holding a thick stack of booklets, and said calmly: "Get up."
Lin Fu not only did not get up, but instead lowered his head, "This slave is guilty, please punish me, Concubine Xian."
Xianyue raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Why did Eunuch Lin say this?"
"The servant was ordered by the master to bring a booklet recording all the expenses in the palace to Concubine Xian. Before leaving, the master gave many warnings, saying that he must be careful; but these two servants were not very discerning when walking.
I fell down and stained the booklet. I really deserve death!"
Following Lin Fu's words, the two young eunuchs also knelt down and apologized to Xianyue. The latter's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand and said: "That's all, you didn't mean it. Go back."
Lin Fu glanced at Xianyue quickly, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous, I and the others are very grateful."
After handing the book to the palace attendants of Yanxi Palace, Lin Fu and others withdrew gratefully. After Qi Kuan casually flipped through a few pages, his expression changed and he said to Xianyue: "Master, you
Look, this booklet is very dirty and you can't even read the words on it clearly."
When A Luo heard this, he immediately became anxious. He flipped through several brochures and found that they were all like this. The papers were wet and stuck together, and the writing on them melted. The brochure simply became
Useless waste.
A Luo's face was ashen and he said: "No, this was not caused by a fall at all. According to slave girl, it is simply someone who deliberately contaminates it."
Qi Kuan snorted and said: "No need to ask, it must be Concubine Zhe. She has always been reluctant to hand over power to her master, but when the Queen Mother gave her words, she did not dare to disobey, so she deliberately did this to embarrass her.
Master." Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak, he added: "Master, do you want to report this matter to the Queen Mother? Please make the decision for you."
Xianyue looked through the booklet calmly and said: "No need, if I can't even handle this matter properly, how can I be qualified to take charge of the harem?"
