Huang shook his head and said, "Did you sell me for such a small amount of money?"
Liu Qi said with a bitter face: "I don't want to, but my concubine threatens me. If I don't do what she says, I will tell the master about my gambling and stealing money from Xiao Yuanzi. I really have no choice.
Then I agreed to her, but the slave has always been loyal to the master in his heart and did not tell her anything important. I beg the master to spare the slave for once because of the slave's hard work in the past."
"Really?" Mrs. Huang stood up and stared at him and said coldly: "If you were really loyal to me, you would not eavesdrop on my conversation with the queen, or let little Mencius go to Yimeixuan to tell your concubine about Shuntian Mansion.
plan; Liu Qi, you are not loyal to me at all, you are loyal to yourself!"
"That's not the case, Master..." Liu Qi wanted to argue again, but Huang was no longer interested in listening to his words. He raised his hand and said: "I will give you two choices. One, I will kill you and then retaliate violently."
Second, listen to me and do things for me. After the concubine's matter is resolved, I will arrange for you to work elsewhere."
Liu Qi did not hesitate for too long and quickly said: "I am willing to do things for my master. I only ask my master to spare my life."
Mrs. Huang had already expected this answer, and nodded and said: "Okay; but I would like to remind you that if you dare to betray or conceal anything again this time, I will take your life, not only you, but also you."
Family members outside the palace, don’t think that your concubine can save you."
Huang is not a cruel person, so she has no choice but to speak like this. Although she explained the matter about Xinuang Pavilion today in a reasonable and reasonable manner, Wei Jingxuan's temperament may have caused suspicion. If Liu Qi cannot be suppressed at this moment, let her
When he defended himself in front of Wei Jingxuan, everything he had done before was in vain.
Liu Qi hurriedly said: "I don't dare!"
"Go down." Facing Huang's words, Liu Qi knelt still. Wu Si kicked him and said, "Didn't you hear what the master said? If you don't leave quickly, I really want to get a few more injections."
Can’t make it?”
Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Master, before releasing the slave, Eunuch Qi fed the slave poison and asked the master to detoxify the slave." As he said, he presented the money bag to Mr. Huang, "Eunuch Qi said that the master saw it.
You will know how to detoxify the things here."
Huang took the purse suspiciously and took out the blank piece of paper that Liu Qi had seen a long time ago. After reading it several times, he said in surprise: "Did he really say that?"
Liu Qi nodded repeatedly and begged: "Master, you must save this slave. If the slave dies, he will not be able to do things for his master."
Jin Ping looked at the white paper in Huang's hand and wondered: "But there is nothing written on this paper. How can I detoxify you?"
Wu Si leaned over and said, "Master, do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to come over?"
"No rush." Mrs. Huang carefully looked at the ordinary white paper and slowly stroked it with her fingers. The most nervous person was Wu Si, who kept staring at Mr. Huang.
After a long while, Mrs. Huang showed a smile and said, "It's really hard for Qi Kuan to come up with such a solution."
Facing the confused looks from Jin Ping and others, Huang chuckled and said: "There is no poison at all, and Liu Qi has never been poisoned."
Liu Qi immediately said: "Impossible. He clearly fed the slave poison. He said it was made from the soil of Broken Heart Grass and other medicines. If he doesn't take the antidote within a day, he will die of intestinal perforation and rotten stomach."
Huang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, it should be ordinary soil. Nothing will happen if you eat it. That's why he asked you to give me a piece of white paper; white paper, white paper, empty
Nothing means nothing, do you understand?"
Liu Qi didn't expect that the poison that had worried him for a long time was actually fake. There was no such thing. He was fooled by Qi Kuan. Thinking of this, he suddenly became angry and wanted to ask Qi Kuan now.
Understand, when Mrs. Huang saw him like this, she said coldly: "Are you angry?"
Liu Qiqiang suppressed his anger, lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, but I don't understand why Eunuch Qi lied to me and said it was poison."
Huang smiled coldly, stared at him and said, "If Qi Kuan hadn't said that, would you have come to see me? I'm afraid you would have gone to Yimeixuan." As she said that, she leaned forward slightly.
Body, slowly said: "Don't think you are very smart. There are many people smarter than you in this palace, such as Xiao Yuanzi, he is the one who really deceived you."
Liu Qi frowned and said, "This slave doesn't understand what the master means."
Huang sneered and said: "Without Wei Jingxuan's acquiescence, would Xiao Yuanzi dare to steal her money? All this is just a double act between the two of them. You are treated like a fool and you are still ignorant, treating your enemy as your benefactor."
Liu Qi said excitedly: "No, Xiao Yuanzi has always treated the slave very well, and he will not lie to the slave."
"Believe it or not, I'm exhausted, please step back." When Liu Qi bowed and retreated to the door, Huang said in a deep voice: "Remember what I said, don't think that I am not ruthless.
When you are in the harem, it is not unusual for you to have a few lives on your hands."
"I don't dare." After Liu Qi retreated, Huang pulled Jinping over, lifted up her sleeves and said sympathetically: "Does it still hurt?"
Jinping smiled and shook his head and said: "Master has never hit the slave hard, how can the slave feel pain?"
Mrs. Huang stroked the faint red mark on her arm and said, "Although I withdrew most of my strength when the duster fell, it still hurts to some extent. I really feel wronged to you."
Jin Ping knelt down and said, "I understand my master's painstaking efforts, so I have never blamed my master."
Mrs. Huang nodded, "Go back to the warehouse later. You will have to suffer for a few more days before we overthrow Wei Jingxuan."
Wu Si chuckled and said: "I don't know how good it is to eat well, sleep well, and don't have to work in the warehouse. I am just worried about Liu Qi and Xiao Mengzi. What should I do if they are not good for the master?"
"They don't dare." Huang said coldly: "If I can't control these two slaves, I don't need to be a concubine anymore."
The next day after Hongli went to court, Xianyue also ordered people to wash themselves. According to the rules, she should lead a group of concubines to Cining Palace to pay homage to Ling Ruo.
While she was dressing up, everyone in the palace also arrived one after another. After some salutes, she followed Xianyue to Cining Palace to listen to Ling Ruo's lecture. Because Ling Ruo was not in good spirits, he only talked for a while and then ordered them to leave.
Afterwards, the girls followed them to Kunning Palace, and after chatting and joking with Xianyue, they left separately, leaving Hu and Xia Qing there.
After the palace door was closed, Xianyue said with a half-smile, "Looking at the looks of the two of you, you probably have something to ask me, please tell me."
