"Princess, be careful." Qian Yin shouted hurriedly, rushed forward, hugged Yun Shang, and pushed her to the shore, but she slipped into the lake.
"Someone fell into the water."
Yun Shang came back to her senses and saw Qian Yin floating in the lake. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and then raised her voice, "Why don't you hurry up and save people?"
The eunuchs who were following behind jumped into the water one after another and swam towards Qianyin.
"Princess, are you okay?" Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward, approached Yun Shang and asked with concern. Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm okay, I was pushed away by Qian Yin, but Qian Yin..."
Yun Shang frowned, his face full of eagerness.
"Don't worry, Chang'er. With so many people, we will definitely be able to rescue your palace maid safely. Your little palace lady looks lively and cute, a little out of touch, but she saved your life at the critical moment.
"The queen walked up to Yun Shang, patted her hand, and said softly.
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes..."
The queen was very satisfied when she saw Yun Shang's anxious expression staring intently at the lake, so she said no more.
"It's rescued, it's rescued, princess." Several eunuchs worked together to lift Qian Yin to the shore. Yun Shang quickly walked to Qian Yin's side. Seeing Qian Yin spit out some water and look a little weak, she quickly squatted down.
She asked with concern, "Qianyin, how do you feel?"
Qianyin glanced at Yunshang and shook her head, "It's okay, slave. It's fine if the princess is okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted.
"Why don't you call the imperial doctor quickly?" The Queen's majestic voice came from behind, but Yun Shang saw Qian Yin's hand move slightly.
After a period of chaos, Qingxin Palace gradually became quiet. Yun Shang walked to the bed and sat down, saying softly, "Okay, everyone is gone, stop pretending."
The person on the bed opened one eye first, looked at Yun Shang, and then slowly opened his eyes. Yun Shang felt a little funny when he looked at it, and deliberately said with a straight face, "Did the queen ask you to do this?"
Qianyin nodded, "I passed the message to the slave through the eunuch who delivered the ingredients earlier. Time was urgent, and I didn't know if the walls around me had ears, so I didn't dare to say it. But hasn't the princess already guessed it? That osmanthus sachet..."
The sweet-scented osmanthus sachet contains the scent of the queen's favorite styrax.
Yun Shang naturally knew the meaning of Qian Yin's words, that is, the smell of styrax, which made Yun Shang agree to the proposal to go to the Imperial Garden. However, Yun Shang did not know what the purpose of the scene staged by the lake was.
What?
"I'm afraid the Queen heard that slaves are not favored in the Qingxin Palace. The princess didn't like slaves, so she wanted to help slaves. So the Queen sent someone to send a message to slaves, asking slaves to take the princess to the imperial garden.
Some accidents will be arranged at that time. The slave must completely focus on the princess. Once something happens to the princess, he must react immediately to save the princess. If the slave is injured a little, that is
It couldn't be better." Qian Yin said with a smile, looking at Yun Shang with blinking eyes.
"I see, the queen is really impatient. You have only been in Qingxin Palace for a few days." Yun Shang said softly.
Qianyin thought for a while and then said, "Princess, in a few days, it will be the Winter Solstice, which is the day for the Emperor to worship heaven. The Queen once told the slave before she came that she must gain the princess's complete trust before the Winter Solstice. I feel that
…”
"Are you saying that the queen wants to deal with me on the winter solstice?" Yun Shang smiled slightly, "It's true that I don't offend others, but people come to offend me. If this is the case, then I will take the advantage this time.
"
Hearing this, Qianyin sat up from the bed, her eyes bright, "What do you want to do, princess? I have long disliked Queen Laoshizi. Princess, I must make sure that she cannot stand up this time."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, let me see what she wants to do first."
Qianyin nodded and said, "Princess, let me tell you something interesting. Recently, the Emperor has not been to Qiwu Palace for two months. The Queen seems to have a bad temper recently. I heard that, recently,
The queen actually chose the more beautiful maid among the maids in her palace, and wanted to send the maid to the emperor's bed to tie him up."
"Really? If there is such a thing, then I, the princess, have to help her properly." Hearing this, a coldness flashed across the corner of Yun Shang's mouth, "I know about the pretty maids in Qiwu Palace.
Alone."
"Qianyin, where are our people in the Queen's Palace now?"
Qianyin looked around for a moment, then came to Yun Shang and said something. Yun Shang nodded and said, "It is a place that is not easy to attract attention. In this way, you can find a way to send her a message and let her
Do something for me, the princess." Yun Shang came to Qian Yin's ear and gave a few instructions in detail. Then she saw Qian Yin's eyes light up and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, this slave."
After noon, the weather that had been sunny just now suddenly started to rain. In a small room behind the side hall of Qiwu Palace, there was a figure lying on the bed holding his feet, looking painful.
"Come here, come here..." There was a tremor in his voice, and he called for a long time but no one paid any attention.
The person on the bed endured the pain and sat up, put on his shoes and got out of bed. The light from the window shone on the person's face, and then he saw her face. It turned out to be Qin Meng, and Qin Meng walked towards the door.
, but I felt a terrible pain in my feet with every step I took.
"Come here, bring me a basin of hot water." Qin Meng had beads of sweat on her forehead. There was a voice outside the door, but no one paid attention to her.
Qin Meng dragged her two legs that were in excruciating pain and walked to the door. The sounds outside gradually became clearer, "Did you hear that? They screamed so pitifully."
Another voice rang out, "I thought this was the Qingxin Palace, but this is the Qiwu Palace. Now she is just a useless chess piece to the Empress. The Empress wants to arrange for Miss Qianyin to be here."
Qingxin Palace just took her out and raised her here, she is just a useless person. When Miss Qianyin takes root in Qingxin Palace, it is estimated that that will be the day she disappears."
"No, I heard that Miss Qianyin saved Princess Huiguo in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. Princess Huiguo is very grateful, and now she trusts Miss Qianyin a lot more."
"Yeah, don't worry about this waste. Just let her fend for herself. By the way, I heard that the queen got very angry in the palace yesterday. Do you know why?"
"It's been a long time since the Emperor came to the Qingxin Palace. The Queen wants to choose a maid to give to the Emperor so as to keep the Emperor's heart, but she has been choosing and choosing but hasn't found one she's satisfied with, so she's really annoyed."
"Shh, you can't talk about this, be careful..."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away, but no one knew that Qin Meng, who was leaning next to the door in the room, was trembling all over and clenching his teeth, but tears had already fallen from his eyes, "It turns out that I have become a useless chess piece."
Wasted chess."
After so many years in the palace, Qin Meng naturally knows best what it will be like to become a useless chess abandoned by the master. It is precisely because of this knowledge that she is particularly afraid. The feeling is like looking at a knife.
The sharp point pierced his throat bit by bit, but he couldn't make any sound.
Qin Meng gritted her teeth, no, she didn't want to die yet.
But, what to do?
Qin Meng dragged her painful legs, walked back to the bed and sat down. Now the queen regarded her as an abandoned son, and there was already a new candidate in the Qingxin Palace. Besides the queen, who else could there be? This palace
Is there anyone else who can help her?
Qin dreamed for a long time before slowly raising her head, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes. She thought that she needed a chance, a chance to change her destiny. (To be continued)
