Hongyue is a second-class palace maid, usually responsible for such trivial matters as cooking and decoction.
Today, the emperor is here, and she can only take a look from a distance, but cannot get up close.
There is a small kitchen in Yong'an Palace, but with Sizhu there, it is not her turn to do the cooking and decoction.
After the imperial concubine was grounded, she lost her mind.
She is just a pawn put into Yong'an Palace by the imperial concubine. If the master does not give her orders, she will not be able to move forward.
In Yong'an Palace, the population looks simple, but in fact everyone is like a human being.
Everyone in Yong'an Palace also knows the origins of her and Lu Yun.
So it's normal for these people to prevent her from poisoning her.
However, if she can't succeed, what should she do if Concubine An holds her and Lu Yun accountable when Mu Xiuyi gives birth to the emperor's heir?
Just when she was frowning, she suddenly received a package of medicine.
She didn't know who the other party was, but she was certain that he was on duty at Yong'an Palace and wanted to use her to attack Mu Ci.
For this matter, she took some time out and specifically discussed it with Lu Yun.
"Could it be a trap?" Lu Yun is usually very cautious and doesn't think they will have such good luck.
Moreover, this person was definitely not sent by the imperial concubine.
"That person also left a note, asking me to believe her. She also said that she was also on duty at Yong'an Palace, and she was waiting for people like us who could easily attack." Hongyue whispered.
"Then do you believe what that person said?" Lu Yun asked.
"I believe that there are many people watching Mu Xiuyi's pregnancy. Many people can't find a chance to make a move, and they can't even squeeze us in like the imperial concubine. Since this person comes to us, he must be with us.
The goal is the same. Do you think we should give this packet of medicine a try?" Hongyue couldn't make up her mind.
"Wait, let me think about it." Lu Yun thought for a moment and then said: "Could the person who administered the drug be Liu Xin?!"
Hongyue was surprised: "How could you doubt her?!"
"Because Liu Xin couldn't enter the inner palace, she was on duty in Yong'an Palace when Mu Xiuyi returned to the harem. There is also Luo Xin. I think Luo Xin can't see through it, and Liu Xin is more likely to be the one.
"Lv Yun's words are true.
Before entering Yong'an Palace for duty, they studied all the palace attendants in Yong'an Palace. Only Liu Xin came in recently, so if they really want to find a masterpiece in Yong'an Palace, it must be Liu Xin.
"What you can think of, Mu Xiuyi can't think of? And the two of us are still the ones Mu Xiuyi is focusing on. If we two take action, Mu Xiuyi might catch us." Hong Yue
He smiled bitterly.
Lu Yun fell silent: "Who made us pawns? Do we have the right to resist?"
Hong Yue was right. With Mu Xiuyi's methods, how could he not know the origins of the two of them? As soon as the two of them took action, they would be caught.
If the person who gave them the medicine was Liu Xin, Liu Xin just wanted to use their hands to get rid of Mu Ci, right?
Lu Yun and Hong Yue are not stupid, on the contrary, they are both smart, otherwise An Rong would not choose them to serve in Yong'an Palace.
Because of this, they are afraid to take action.
"Do you know who Mu Xiuyi is?" Hongyue asked suddenly.
"How could you not know? He is definitely a master who has revenge, but he is also kind and righteous." Lu Yun and Hong Yue looked at each other, and they thought of the same thing.
The only way to survive is to leave Yong'an Palace, a place of right and wrong. Maybe they can go and beg Mu Xiuyi. Maybe Mu Xiuyi can let them go for the sake of their timidity.
The next day, Mu Ci was a little surprised when he learned that Hong Yue asked for a meeting.
After Hong Yue was transferred, she was responsible for things like cooking and decoction. Of course, she couldn't leave such important things to Hong Yue's hands.
In addition, An Rong was grounded, so she thought that Hong Yue and Lu Yun would not be able to accomplish anything in a short period of time.
"Slave, please go and get rid of it." Yingchun was afraid that Hongyue would have some bad intentions when approaching Mu Ci.
Mu Ci pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, let her in."
"Empress..." Yingchun stamped her feet anxiously.
Mu Ci smiled: "In the worst case, let Jirou stay with me."
When Yingchun saw this, he first called Jirou over to serve him, and then Hongyue came in.
Hongyue received the gift politely and then handed the package of medicine she had received before to Yingchun: "This is the medicine package I received yesterday. Although I don't know the properties of this medicine, I thought it was nothing.
Good medicine. I thought about it all night last night and decided to leave it to the empress."
Yingchun didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but she didn't dare let Mu Ci hear it.
Mu Ci glanced at me from afar, "Why did you give the medicine to me?"
Hong Yue knelt down in front of Mu Ci: "Bo Nu and Lu Yun were forced to enter the Yong'an Palace on duty, not voluntarily. Nu and Lu Yun's idea was whether they could serve Empress Xiu Yi and make up for their merits. If possible,
, Empress Xiuyi lets the slaves out of the palace, which is a great blessing for the slaves."
Mu Ci looked at Hongyue's twisted face.
Many maids in the harem were brought in when they were young. Those who are lucky can continue to climb up, while those who are unlucky will die before they can make it out of the palace.
Everyone has their destiny, not everyone is born to be a master, and she is the only one who is lucky enough to be reborn after death, right?
"In that case, you and Lu Yun will do something for me. After the task is completed, I will let you out of the palace and help you change your identity. By the way, do you have family members outside the palace?" Mu Ci quickly said
A decision has been made.
"Both slaves and Lu Yun were sold into the palace. They have lost contact with their families for many years, and have never thought about going home." Hongyue kowtowed three times to Mu Ci: "I will do my best to help you, and I will repay you."
Your Majesty’s great kindness!”
"Get up." Mu Ci ordered Yingchun to hand the medicine back to Hongyue: "Take this medicine to Liu Xin..."
She explained it like this, and Hongyue nodded in agreement.
After leaving the dormitory, Hongyue let out a long breath.
Sure enough, their guess was correct. Empress Xiuyi knew everything, and she had already seen through that Liu Xin was sinister, but she didn't make any move.
If she and Lu Yun had evil thoughts towards Empress Xiuyi before, I'm afraid they would not end well.
As soon as Hongyue left, Sizhu asked Mu Ci worriedly: "Aren't you worried that they are pretending to surrender?"
"Intuition, Hongyue's eyes are very sincere. I still have this ability to distinguish. Otherwise, I wouldn't let her go to Liu Xin. Of course, this is also testing her." Mu Ci stopped after saying this.
.
Next, it depends on how Hongyue handles it.
In the evening, Hongyue took the medicine bag and went to the sweeping area to find Liu Xin.
Liu Xin seemed not to have expected Hong Yue to come to her. She looked around subconsciously, but Luo Xin was nowhere to be seen, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
