In the afternoon, although the sunshine was faint, the air was still so hot and muggy, and the wind blowing from all around hit the body, burning like flowing fire.
The noisy chirping of cicadas came from among the trees, like a large intertwined net, which was noisy and disturbing.
Outside the Guangsheng Palace, there were several chamberlains holding sticks high to catch the cicadas that were chirping endlessly.
At this time, the palace door opened, and Ge Shu Wuluan came out with a hazy face. Several people stopped and saluted.
The woman only responded lightly and left the palace courtyard without stopping for a moment.
Walking slowly in the corridor of the inner court, Ge Shu Wuluan's heart was extremely uneasy.
Just now she went to pay her respects to the empress, and by the way she mentioned the fact that hundreds of officials supported the eldest prince as the crown prince. She just wanted to hear her opinion on the matter. Unexpectedly, the result was far beyond her expectation. That is, the empress was against I quite agree with this.
To this day, she can no longer figure out the thoughts of the empress, and she cannot understand why the empress allowed her biological son to wander away, while favoring a bastard who has no blood relatives and is always hostile to her.
Isn't the empress afraid that the eldest prince will turn against her in the future after he succeeds to the throne
A woman's mind is so open-minded that she can surrender the country regardless of past grudges!
She doesn't understand, really doesn't understand...
At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly came to his ears, and then brought back Ge Shu Wuluan's consciousness.
Just listen, "Sister Luan... Sister Luan, what's wrong with you?"
She calmed down and found that Tie Xinlian had arrived opposite her at some point, and that slender, boneless hand was waving in front of her eyes.
Looking at the worry in Tie Xinlian's eyes, he felt warm in his heart. He took her little hand and held it in his palm, with a smile on his lips, "When did Lian'er return to the palace? Is your health feeling better?"
It was only yesterday that she heard that Xin Lian had taken a few days off to recuperate at home due to illness, so she originally planned to go out of the palace to visit her tomorrow to take advantage of her leisure time. However, she did not expect that she had already returned to the palace today. Perhaps she was not in good health. Great.
However, when he came into contact with her pale and haggard complexion, lines of worry appeared in her eyebrows.
Tie Xinlian noticed that the woman's probing eyes were on his face, and he panicked a little. He hurriedly covered up his emotions and said: "Sister only knows how to care about Xinlian's minor illnesses and pains, and she doesn't care about her inappropriate situation at all. Take it to heart, you make me so worried!"
He is as smart as he is pitiful. He must have been so worried after seeing her lost look before.
However, Ge Shu Wuluan still denied it and said with a forced smile: "There is nothing wrong with me."
Seeing her nonchalant look, Tie Xinlian suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly withdrew his palm, clenched it into a fist, and asked anxiously: "Really? Then why did Xinlian call her sister several times just now, but she didn't even hear her? Are you so self-conscious? Do you want to keep hiding it? Xin Lian has heard that the monarch has temporarily relieved my sister of all her duties... "
At this point, Shi Ji stopped abruptly because she noticed a flash of embarrassment on the woman's face. Although it was fleeting, she still caught it.
At this moment, Tie Xinlian was extremely annoyed that he spoke carelessly and then poked Sister Luan's pain point.
Brother Shu Wuluan calmly lowered his eyes, wanting to break the embarrassment, and immediately said: "Okay, this matter has been settled, so don't mention it. However, Sister Luan wants to remind you, that Ji Qingzong is really not a good person. He has to deal with such a role. When you serve under his jurisdiction in the future, you must learn to be tolerant and avoid quarreling with him, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous!"
Tie Xinlian knew that she deliberately downplayed the matter of being dismissed, and changed the subject in a evasive way, just because she didn't want to worry about her. However, in this situation, she was still comforting her and putting herself in her shoes. How could she Don't let her worry
However, it also aroused her stubbornness at the same time, "I don't care what happens to that person named Ji. Xin Lian just stays with my sister quietly."
After listening to her words, not only did Brother Shu Wuluan not feel at ease, but his brows became deeply tangled, and his tone became solemn, "When will you get rid of your stubborn temper? You don't understand what I'm saying." Is it? When I held Ji Qingzong’s authority for so long, he would definitely be jealous. Now that he has regained his authority, he will 100% retaliate. Naturally, he doesn’t dare to do anything to me. After all, he will still be wary of my level. A crowned title, but he will never be merciful to those close to me! Therefore, you must deliberately distance yourself from me in the future to protect yourself, because I may not be able to protect you in my current situation."
She knew what she said, but she couldn't do it if she was allowed to endure the days of being dismissed in secret while she stayed out of it to protect herself!
Thinking of this, Tie Xinlian shouted urgently: "But..."
Clinker, brother Shu Wuluan interrupted her coldly, and then changed the subject at the right time, "Nothing but! Your face is so bad because you haven't recovered yet? If you feel uncomfortable, take leave and go home to rest for a while. Anyway, there is nothing to stay in the inner palace now."
Upon encountering the sharp gaze cast by the woman, Tie Xinlian suddenly felt a little flustered, but at this moment, the details of being tortured by that man suddenly appeared in his mind, which in vain defeated the calmness he had barely maintained.
She was in a daze for a moment, and hurriedly touched the corners of her lips that had lost their blood, and said hesitantly: "Uh... I... maybe it's because of the sultry weather, and I might have suffered from heatstroke. Don't worry, sister, Xin Lian's body is no longer serious. hinder."
Her words made it clear to Brother Shu Wuluan that she was hiding something, but he didn't delve into it, so he wanted to remind her to go back and rest, but at this moment a cry came into his ears, "Sir, problem occurs!"
Duan saw Xia Xuefeng Lei walking quickly from one end of the corridor, bringing with him a sultry wind.
Tie Xin Lian glanced at the man who stopped to salute, and said: "Since Mr. Ge Shu has something to do, I will resign."
Brother Shu Wuluan nodded with satisfaction at her cautious words.
After receiving the gesture, Tie Xinlian slowly exited the corridor.
Brother Shu Wuluan turned around and asked with a slight frown: "Lei, what happened?"
Xia Xuefenglei replied in a deep voice: "My lord, Ji Qingzong punished half of the female palace attendants this morning. Not only did he send them to guard the cold palace, but he is also now acting arrogantly in the chief palace supervisor and beating several leaders in the palace. Attendant."
Hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan's face turned cold, with a hint of chill seeping out, "What's the reason?"
She had long expected that Ji Qingzong would take revenge on her for taking away his position, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Oh, what a new official who takes office with three talents!
Scanning the woman's sudden change of expression, Xia Xuefenglei hurriedly lowered his eyes and said in a solemn voice: "It's disrespectful to him."
Disrespectful? ! Do you want to establish your authority? Then she would like to see how he brings this official power to its fullest.
A chilling sneer suddenly appeared on Ge Shu Wuluan's lips, "So... why don't you go and have a look with me."
As soon as the voice fell, her figure had passed the man's side and stepped out of the corridor.
Xia Xuefenglei was distracted for a moment, and then hurriedly followed him.
Long serving supervisor.
At this time, a shrill voice accompanied by evil laughter was floating in the huge courtyard, "Haha... I would like to see whether it is the bones in your little hooves that are stronger, or the thorns in the Zajia's hands..."
Immediately afterwards there was a soft sound of slapping.
'Pa, pa, pa...', as these sounds fell, the clothes of the three women were instantly dyed red, and blood stains appeared on the damaged areas of the clothes, and even their faces were stained. .
If it was a normal beating, it would be bearable. After all, the three of them also had some basic skills. Unexpectedly, the thorn strips were covered with a dense row of thin thorns. When they fell, they were immediately poked with dense thorns. The small hole in the patch was an unbearable sting, accompanied by numbness and itching that went straight to the bottom of the heart, causing the three of them to tremble involuntarily and break into cold sweats.
As soon as Ge Shu Wuluan's toes landed in the courtyard, he saw a scene like this. Ji Qingzong, who was sweating heavily, was beating and shouting hard, with a dictatorial attitude.
The three women whose hands were tied behind their backs knelt at his feet, secretly gritting their teeth and enduring the pain without saying a word.
Although their backs were turned and the expressions on their faces could not be seen, from their slightly shaking shoulders, it was not difficult to imagine how painful and unbearable they were at this moment.
"Stop!" A cold female voice seemed to fall from the sky.
The backs of the three women, which were already becoming rickety due to the moss, suddenly stiffened when they heard this sound. Then they straightened their backs, as if green rice seedlings that had been dry for a long time were being poured out in time by the gentle rain. It descended and became full of vitality.
When Ji Qingzong heard the sound, his subordinates also stopped, and while wiping away the sweat from his forehead, he turned his head to look at the source of the sound. The ferocious look on his face slowly disappeared, and he changed into a proud face in due course. Panting slightly, he said: "Hey, it turns out that Jin Yihou's 'grand visit' has really made this little chief eunuch of the Za family 'Pengpi shine'! However, why are you so free today that you have the time to 'visit' the Za family?" Punish subordinates?”
After saying that, he lowered his eyebrows and hurriedly glanced at the three women with blood-soaked clothes on the ground, and then his eyes fell on Ge Shu Wuluan's face again, with a pair of triangular eyes flashing with a hint of evil and arrogance.
His tone was clearly full of ridicule. When the three female palace attendants heard it, they felt furious in their hearts. At the same time, they were also annoyed that they were too impulsive and were unwilling to be framed by this eunuch or domineering over him. After shouting and shouting, he finally uttered a rebuttal. Not only did he end up being beaten, but most importantly, he also suffered the consequences of being humiliated by this eunuch!
He was not hitting them, he was using their bodies to hit Master Geshu in the face!
The three of them buried their heads in unison, bowing their heads to the ground guiltily.
Brother Shu Wuluan didn't seem to hear Ji Qingzong's sarcastic words at all, and just walked towards him lightly. Xia Xuefenglei followed beside her, his face looked a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
