Not long after Yue Jinghua entered the alchemy room, when the palace lady left Liejiabao, she glanced behind her for a few times, and her eyes flashed with a look of embarrassment.
Seeing that she raised her breath, it was as if a cloud rose up under her feet, and she quickly flashed into the alleyway, and she even started to run all the way.
The mansion guard who was following Liejiabao was taken aback. After following for a long time, he couldn't even see the figure.
The palace maid kept running forward and stopped when she reached the residence of Concubine Sha of Xiaoshang Palace.
The palace wall was about ten feet high, but the maid who took her life quickly disappeared between the pavilions of the Xiaoshang Palace as if she had entered the land of no one.
By the lake of Liugong, Princess Xiurong is playing with a palace lady with a takraw ball.
Concubine Sha, who had been pregnant for more than six months, sat beside the rockery by the lake, with a smile on her brow and a peaceful expression on her face.
The maid explained Yue Jinghua's reply and her reaction after getting the gourd one by one. Concubine Sha listened and pondered for a moment.
"Miss, I don't understand why you gave such a precious gourd to someone who has only met once," Gong'e did not call Concubine Sha a princess.
"Although the gourd is precious, it can only be used by the descendants of the Feng family. Whether Yue Jinghua can really discover the secrets in the gourd is too early to say. Besides, that person entrusted me to take good care of Yue Jing Hua, I'll just be a favor. He owes us such a great favor. If there is a conflict between Danlu and the Divine Tribunal in the future, I will have an extra bargaining chip in my hand," Concubine Sha's seemingly soft brows and eyes crossed She is shrewd and shrewd, and the warmth left behind by others is gone.
The maid paused for a moment, but still couldn't hold back her curiosity, "It's just that my lady, I don't understand why he would help a notorious waste material again and again. Is there any other reason for this matter?" Concealment."
"How can you guess the intentions of the favored person? You have met Yue Jinghua, and you think she is a veritable waste?" Concubine Sha flicked away a stick that was playing in her ear. willow branch.
"I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but based on what I have seen today, Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua are indeed ordinary people, without the slightest bit of profound strength. Even if Yue Jinghua has now received the attention of the Divine Tribunal, but with Lie Si Sibi, it seems to be a little bit worse. The servant girl was followed as soon as she entered the Liejiabao today." After thinking for a while, the maid replied in this way.
"Great wisdom and ignorance and sharp sharpness, who is strong and who is weak, you will know after a while," Concubine Sha didn't care.
On the other side, the takraw ball in the eldest princess's hand accidentally flew out and flew straight towards the lake. Gong'e beside her exclaimed, seeing that Princess Xiu Rong was about to chase the ball and fall into the lake.
Concubine Sha flicked her sleeve lightly, the calm lake surface wrinkled a few ripples, and the takraw ball was lightly brought back to the shore together with the eldest princess.
Gong'e nodded in agreement, and the two of them didn't say anything more.
In Liejiabao, in Peony Courtyard, Liesisi looked angry, and Bizhi waited quietly, not daring to speak.
Just now the two Lie Yiwei who supervised Yue Jinghua and Gong'e, one in front and the other in the back, went back to Lie Sisi to take their orders.
The news that Yue Jinghua would also participate in the final selection of the imperial alchemist came so suddenly that Li Sisi was caught off guard for a while.
Bi Zhi cautiously stepped forward, "Miss, actually you don't have to worry too much, Yue Jinghua has only been learning alchemy for a long time, so how can he be as good as you. Besides, the selection of imperial alchemists in the palace requires alchemists above junior alchemists Teachers can participate?"
"What do you know, even if she is a waste, but now that she has the support of the Queen Mother and Concubine Sha, no one can tell what tricks she will use in secret," Lie Sisi hated, and even slandered herself and Fa Xiao How could Yue Jinghua, who was dressed twice, be so simple.
"Have you got any clues about what I asked you to investigate?" Lie Sifa asked.
"Miss said that the servants sent people to the Jingxinyuan, Lierou didn't make any movement, she just chanted scriptures and worshiped the Buddha in the courtyard all day long, but the dumb young master of the Jingxinyuan has something wrong recently." In the small medicine store, Yue Chen went in and out of the suburbs all day, and explained in detail.
Lie Sisi didn't intend to play tricks on Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua, so she set her mind on everyone in the meditation institute.
Hong Ling is just a maidservant, she doesn't pose much threat to Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua, but that dumb Yuechen can be used well.
"According to what you said, that little mute, who goes out early and returns late, takes care of the flowers and trees in a small manor?" Li Sisi felt that something was wrong. She had noticed earlier that Yue Chen was cultivating flowers and trees. Some talents, Yue Jinghua was not abnormal at that time, she didn't pay much attention, "That kid deserves to be unlucky, who told him to be Yue Jinghua's cheap younger brother. Find a few people and pretend to be robbers. Then send the news to For Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua, I don't believe that they can still participate in the final selection of the imperial alchemist with peace of mind."
Lie Sisi smiled darkly, Bi Zhi responded, and immediately set about manning.
Tonight, there is no moon, and the wind is slightly astringent. Outside the Spiritwood Garden, several sneaky figures like gophers quickly passed the low garden wall.
After receiving Lie Sisi's order, Bi Zhi took several Lie Yiwei to Lingmu Garden in disguise.
Bizhi's skills were trained by Lie Changshun. She has followed Lie Sisi since she was a child. She is very talented. She has already made a small achievement in Yuxuan. Among the servants, she has always regarded herself very highly.
Before departure, she thought that Yue Chen was just a personal Xuan, so she ordered a few Lie Yiwei who were in the stage of Yu Xuan Dacheng, and divided them into two groups, guarding outside all the way, and approaching Lingmu without anyone noticing. garden.
"Both of you, search the house and catch that brat. I've already sent someone to pay attention, but the brat hasn't returned to the meditation hall tonight," Bi Zhi was surprised, and looked around.
On weekdays, Hong Ling takes a close look at Lingmu Garden. The people Bizhi sent to watch only dared to stay on the outskirts of the garden, and this was the first time Bizhi saw the situation in the courtyard.
It is more appropriate to say that it is Spiritwood Garden, but a medium-sized farm manor.
The courtyards in the suburbs outside Boluo City are mostly wastelands left by some farmers outside the city in the early years. This spiritual wood garden has only been repaired recently, and the periphery has been reinforced with a circle of one person high. low wall.
The soil in the garden was carefully turned over and divided into medicine gardens and flower fields. In this season, everything was supposed to wither and winter was approaching. But in this garden, there is no smell of late autumn and winter solstice at all.
In the flower field, there are azaleas that are still bright and bright at night. In the medicine garden, clusters of Polygonum multiflorum are shining like ink, and there are some medicinal herbs that even Bizhi cannot name.
The medicinal herbs grown in the Spirit Wood Garden are even better than the medicinal herbs brought in from the Yongchun Hall.
Bizhi was secretly frightened, thinking that when she went back tonight, she must persuade the young lady and the second master to be vigilant against the people in the meditation institute.
After the two Lieyiwei entered, they quickly came out.
"There was no one inside, and there was no light left. Only a few lotus seeds were found in the room."
In the hands of the two Lieyiwei, there are several lotus seeds. The yellow-green lotus seeds have not been peeled off, and they smell of freshly picked moisture. The top of each lotus seed seems to have been touched with a talisman pen dipped in cinnabar, leaving a little red.
"It's almost winter, where are the new lotus seeds? Let's take a look at the other end of the garden," Bi Zhi led two Lieyi guards to the other side of the Spiritwood Garden.
At the other end of the garden, there is a guide lamp hanging, and a newly dug lotus pond can be vaguely seen.
Wet pond mud piled up at the mouth of the lotus pond, and a row of small footprints were left by the side of the lotus pond.
"Get into the water and look for it," Bi Zhi and the two Lie Yiwei first searched around the pond, but they didn't see anyone. In the lotus pond, there were only dozens of well-grown lotus flowers and a few bowl-sized lotus pods. Shaking his head in the wind and holding it.
The mirror-like pond was blown into folds.
Two Lieyiwei got off the pond, and walked forward with one foot deep and the other shallow.
"Tch," Lie Yiwei, who was walking in front, staggered unawares, tilted his body, below his shoulders, and quickly fell into the pond.
I didn't expect this inconspicuous pond to suddenly change from shallow to deep.
"Be careful," the Lieyiwei behind grunted, he suddenly remembered that his companion was generally watery, and hurriedly moved his hands and feet, trying to pull his companion out of the water.
In their haste, neither of them noticed that the lotus seeds in their hands fell quietly.
