Views:

At three quarters to the hour, Su Xier cleaned all the chamber pots, and together with Ruoyuan, moved the clean chamber pots to the wooden house in the southwest.

After that, the two went back to the room separately, Ruoyuan's fat buttocks disappeared into the moonlight with twists and turns, Su Xi'er's mouth raised slightly when she looked at her like this.

After realizing her mood, Su Xi'er looked far away, how long has it been since she was in such a good mood. With Ruoyuan, it was as if Luliu was by her side.

The next day, while Su Xi'er was still sleeping in the bed, she heard a chatter from the palace ladies outside.

"The firewood house in the northwest corner was raging last night. I don't know when it burned."

"Isn't it? Even the main beam of the house was scorched. There was no thunder yesterday, and the weather is not dry. It's so good. Why did it catch fire?"

"Liu Ye'er died over there, the grievance was too heavy and it started to burn!"

The palace maid’s discussion became louder and louder, and Su Xier in the room couldn't sleep even if she wanted to sleep, she just got up and closed her eyes and leaned against the bed.

The northwest corner house was gone, and the wooden table was gone. The only cloth that can prove Liu Yeer's relationship with Junwang Xie is with her.

She did not put the cloth on her body, but hid it in the cabinet.

Last night, Shiwei Wu must have placed Liu Ye'er's body in the wood house. With the torch thrown away, his body and the wood house disappeared. Since then, Liu Ye'er has truly disappeared.

Liu Ye'er has a close relationship with Junwang Xie, and ends up like this, so what will happen to He Xiangyu, and what will happen to her herself

Thinking of this, Su Xier had a headache. She raised her left hand and rubbed her forehead, just to see her left wrist. The scars have subsided, and there is no pain at all in the wrist.

The effect of the powder was better than she had imagined. After applying it twice, the scar disappeared quickly.

Now, Su Xi'er didn't know that although the powder that King Hao gave her was similar to that of the Third Prince, it contained a little more herbal medicine. This herb is colorless and tasteless, and can quickly heal scars. The powder is only available to King Hao in Beimin.

"Su Xi'er, are you awake? Mother Liu asked you to go to her room." Hong Li's voice came across the door and the bed.

"I just woke up, I'll be here." Su Xier immediately got up from the bed, put on a coat, sorted her clothes, combed her hair, and walked out.

"Go and freshen up, I have reserved a portion for you for breakfast." Hongli smiled and said to her.

Su Xi'er nodded, ran to the place where the maid was grooming, and quickly washed her face.

After breakfast, she went to Mother Liu's house.

The door was open, and Mother Liu was drinking tea inside.

After seeing Su Xi'er, Mother Liu laughed, raised her hand and waved at her, "You went to bed late last night. I called you up this morning. Are you sleepy?"

Su Xi'er walked in and respectfully blessed her body and saluted, "The slave and maid are not sleepy, thank you for your care."

"Come here for a cup of tea. This is a spring tea tribute from other countries this year. I have a small pot in total, so I can't bear to drink it." Mother Liu smiled, and the wrinkles around her eyes were full of waves.

Su Xier knew that spring tea dripping with rain dew is the best tea. Many tea people picked spring tea, made it into tea, and kept it sealed. But this spring tea, even outside the county staff, can't drink it. Most of them will be tribute to the court, and the rest will be bought by the wealthy.

"Mother, you can keep this tea and drink it slowly. The servant girl doesn't understand tea, and it's wasted drinking it."

Mother Liu smiled more intensely in her eyes, but her eyes fell on the sachet on Su Xier's waist, "In the court, you are the court lady who knows the most rules. The sachet on your waist is embroidered very uniquely. Which master rewarded it?"

"Queen dowager reward." Su Xier said slowly.

Mother Liu raised her eyebrows and her tone of voice rose, "Oh? This is the first time the queen mother has given things to a court lady. She is still a court lady. Even the Dutch girl around her does not receive a lot of rewards."

"The slave and maid don't know why the Queen Mother would reward me with this." Su Xier said deliberately, the queen mother's intentions, she knew it the first time she got the sachet.

"Take it down, I'll take a look." Mother Liu was still smiling, but she thought in her heart that she knew very well that the queen mother was a human. Sitting in the position of queen in just one year, she is now the youngest queen mother in history. How could such a person give sachets to court ladies for no reason

Su Xier took off the sachet and handed it to Mother Liu. Now that the safflower smell has completely disappeared, the powder has already been incorporated into the fabric, and Mother Liu can't see much.

Mother Liu put the sachet on the end of her nose and smelled it carefully, then she frowned and opened the sachet.

Take a closer look, it is some common herbs.

"Mother Liu, the servant girl added some herbs to the sachet, which you gave the servant girl before."

"That's it." Mother Liu fastened the sachet tightly and returned it to Su Xi'er.

In fact, Mother Liu smelled a different smell, a smell of powdered medicine, but she was not sure.

At this moment, a court lady's voice came from outside, "Mother Liu, Miss He is coming here."

"It's really fast, Su Xi'er, you step back." Mother Liu adjusted her clothes slightly and got up from the chair.

Su Xier tied the sachet around her waist and walked out of the room, and she could see Heying from far and near at a glance.

"Maid slave, see Girl He." Su Xi'er bowed respectfully as she knelt down.

He Ying didn't wave her hand to make her get up, but looked at her waist, "If you're interested, you still have this sachet."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to grab Su Xi'er fiercely, leaning close to her ear, and the words were cruel, "You set a trap and killed Madam Zhao. I didn't expect that the seemingly weak woman is very Will be scheming."

Su Xier pretended not to understand, "Miss He, Mother Zhao is the maid in charge of the court. How could the slaves harm her?"

"Huh, pretend to be stupid." He Ying shook Su Xi'er's arm fiercely, no longer looked at her, and went straight into Mother Liu's room.

Su Xi'er looked at the closed door, a dark light flashed under her eyes, and He Ying came to the court with obvious intentions. Following the same method, as before, with the will of the queen mother, he ordered the mother to die himself.

The queen mother hated herself so much and rewarded herself with a sachet with red flowers, just for a man.

Although you are the queen mother, she is still a young woman after all, with a strong desire for love.

It's just that there are so many women in King Hao, so is the queen mother in charge? Why always aim at yourself? Su Xi'er frowned slightly, she was not the woman of King Hao at all now!

"Su Xi'er." Hongli suddenly appeared from the side, grabbed her, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Mother Liu is weird?"

Su Xi'er didn't speak, and when the two of them moved a little farther away, she asked, "What a weird way?"

Hong Li shook his head, "I can't tell, it just feels weird. Your observation is accurate, so I'll ask you."

Having said this, Hong Li's eyes lit up, "One time, Mother Liu asked me, when did you and King Hao met!"
