"I believe that this day will not be too far away." Faced with Mao Gui's words, Wei Jingxuan stroked her pale cheek and said, "You were originally working under Xiao Yuanzi?"
Mao Gui sighed and said, "Yes, Eunuch Yuan treated his slaves very well. It's a pity that he died long ago. It's really pitiful."
Wei Jingxuan raised her head and said softly: "Xiao Yuanzi is very helpful to me." After a moment of pause, she suddenly smiled and said: "What about you, are you afraid that you will be imprisoned with me in this Palace of Eternal Life for the rest of your life?"
Mao Gui hesitated for a moment and said: "I dare not hide it from my master. I was actually a little scared before, but after I saw my master taking arsenic poison and pretending to be harmed, I believed that my master was definitely not a thing in the pond. Now
All this is just temporary confinement in the pool." Whether he wants it or not, it can't change the fact that he is imprisoned in Yongshou Palace. In this case, it is better to put it in a nicer way to gain Wei Jingxuan's favor.
If Yehenala heard this, he would definitely be shocked. The person who poisoned him was none other than Wei Jingxuan herself.
"Okay! Very good!" Wei Jingxuan nodded with satisfaction, "If you work hard, I will not treat you badly when I get out of trouble."
"Thank you, Master." After saying this, Mao Gui added: "The remaining poison in Master's body is not cleared, so I will help you to rest in the room."
"No need, I've been lying here for so many days, and if I don't come out for a walk, my bones will get rusty." Wei Jingxuan walked to the courtyard, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Although I know that a little arsenic can't kill me,
But when I vomited blood, I was really worried that I wouldn't survive. Fortunately, everything went as I expected. After this time, I won't have to worry about my life for a long time, and it's worth it."
Mao Gui smiled and said: "Fortunately, when I was cleaning things, I found a bag of arsenic used to poison rats, otherwise this plan would not have been implemented."
Xiangju whispered: "Having said that, it is too risky for the master to do this. What if..."
Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "No matter how dangerous it is, I have to win this round. I don't want to wait here to die." At this point, she stroked her face and said to Xiangju: "Are there any scars on this face?"
Xiangju looked at it carefully, shook her head and said, "No, and her skin looks better than before, but her face is a little pale."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "It's finally worth it. I use pearl mill powder mixed with water to apply on my face every day."
"Master, all the loose pearls in the warehouse have been polished, and there are only a few left." Before Xiang Ju finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "If the loose pearls are gone, take the whole string of pearls."
Go grind it, do you still want me to teach you such a small thing?"
Seeing Xiangju lowering her head, she added: "Remember, when I appear in front of the emperor, I must be the best and most beautiful without any flaws!"
"My slave knows." As she said this, Xiangju said with some worry: "But we are trapped here now and know nothing about the situation outside. I am afraid it will be difficult to find a chance to see the emperor. We have to wait for the emperor to calm down and remember.
I can't leave here until I become my master, and I don't know how long it will take."
Wei Jingxuan smiled coldly, "Sitting around and waiting has never been my favorite thing." As she said that, she turned her eyes and looked at Mao Guidao: "On the day I was poisoned, you were the one who told the guards and told me about their situation.
, try to be more careful."
Mao Gui didn't understand why Wei Jingxuan suddenly asked about those guards, but since she asked, she had her own reasons and immediately told everything she knew.
After Wei Jingxuan listened carefully, she said, "You said the leader's name is Li Jifeng?"
"Yes, I only found out when I heard him talking to the imperial doctor." As soon as Mao Gui finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan asked again: "How old is he? Is he tall or short?"
Mao Gui became more and more confused by her questions. After thinking for a while, he said: "Looking at the age of Guard Li, he should be less than thirty years old. He is taller than the servant and his face is quite handsome."
Wei Jingxuan walked a few steps and said: "In the future...if there is a chance, I would like to have a few words with him and try to learn as much as possible."
After Mao Gui responded, he asked doubtfully: "Master, why are you so concerned about Guard Li? Do you know him?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said, "I don't know him, but... he may be the key to my comeback."
Mao Gui and Xiang Ju looked at each other in confusion, neither of them understood what she meant. Li Jifeng and them were not the same kind of people at all, and they were strangers to each other, so it was impossible to help their master. How could it become the key? It was really strange.
In April and May, as the days go by, the weather gets hotter and hotter. As long as a person stands in the sun for a while, he will be covered in sweat; the summer cicada keeps chirping in the treetops, and the sound is longer than the sound.
It makes people more and more upset.
In the Kunning Palace, Qi Kuan led several young eunuchs to catch the cicadas on the tree with sticky sticks. After a while, a cage full of cicadas was caught, and they screamed non-stop.
Zheng Jiu came back from outside, plucked his ears and said with a smile: "You said these cicadas are really strange. Aren't they tired from cicadas from morning to night?"
"If they are tired, they won't bark." Qi Kuan replied with a smile, and said to the little eunuch holding the cage: "Put it away somewhere far away."
Zheng Jiu quickly stopped him and said, "Let it go? Wouldn't it mean that he just turned around and flew back again, wasting all his hard work?" Before Qi Kuan could say anything, he suddenly laughed and said, "I've eaten fried cicadas before, and they taste so good.
It's so delicious. Just give these to me and I'll set up a pot to fry them. At most, we can eat them together."
The little eunuchs heard his words and asked curiously: "Eunuch Zheng, is it really that delicious?"
"What am I kidding you about? I guarantee that after you eat it once, you will want to eat it a second time or a third time. Come on, give it to me." Before Jiu could reach out his hand, Qi Kuan slapped him on the back of the head.
He scolded: "Don't even think about deep-frying."
Zheng Jiu stroked the back of his head and said aggrievedly: "Eunuch Qi, what are you doing? It's just eating cicadas. Why can't you think about it? Could it be that these cicadas are your relatives?"
Qi Kuan was dumbfounded by what he said. He clapped his hands again and said, "You bastard, you are becoming more and more outrageous. They are not relatives of our family, but the master has said, try not to hurt the lives of these cicadas.
To avoid committing more crimes, if you are really greedy, go talk to the master yourself and repeat what you just said."
Zheng Jiu stuck out his tongue and said quickly: "Then forget it."
"You little brat." Qi Kuan laughed and cursed, then said: "By the way, where have you been on such a hot day?"
Zheng Jiu wiped his sweat and said: "I went to Zhongcui Palace on the order of the master. The master intends to bring Aunt Zhichun back."
Qi Kuan perked up and said quickly: "Then when will Zhichun come back?"
