Mangzhu said in a low voice: "Don't worry, empress, the person who knew sent it away early in the morning. That's just a rough envoy, and she doesn't have any evidence in her hand."
Covering her heart, Concubine Hui pursed her lips: "Concubine Hua looks like she's going to bite me. Now that the emperor is standing by her side, it's inevitable that she will be bewitched by her. We can't sit still and wait for death."
"What do you want to do, ma'am?"
Taking a deep breath, Concubine Hui calmed down: "Isn't she very curious about how Nie Cairen died? Then let her experience it for herself."
With a jump in his heart, Mangzhu frowned: "Ke Hua is now... the right pet."
"So what?" She smiled: "Have you forgotten Lan Zhaoyi?"
"It's good to have Lan Zhaoyi, but..." Mangzhu's eyes were full of worry: "Little Virtue missed tonight, and this servant always thinks that concubine Hua is not easy, not as easy to deal with as others."
It stands to reason that it is quite normal for a palace maid to die at night in this palace, but by such a coincidence, she was stopped by the imperial guards and sent Hongtai to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She wouldn't believe it if there was no one to arrange it.
Concubine Hui said: "You, everything is fine, but you can't be flexible. Did Ben Gong say that we should face each other? Let's just sit in the dark and watch others bump into the knife. We don't care. If someone else is hard-skinned and can curl the edge of the knife, then we should be happy together."
She's not stupid, knowing that Hua's favor is still going to confront her head-on
"I understand." Mangzhu finally nodded after thinking for a long time.
Concubine Hui smiled, took off the armor on her hands, adjusted her pajamas, and lay down on the bed peacefully.
At dawn the next day, when Yu Wenjie came up, he saw the person beside the bed taking a deep breath while changing his clothes, with a serious expression on his face.
"What's the matter?" The voice that just woke up was hoarse with sleepiness, which was very pleasant.
Hua Chun turned around and forced a smile at him: "A new round of trying to die has started again, and the concubine is still a little nervous."
"seek death?"
"Just go to the Hall of Qinghe to pay my respects." After seeing that there were no outsiders beside her, Hua Chun said with a broken face, "Being stared at by so many people, you have to act like you are not afraid of heights, which is also a challenge for concubines' acting skills."
Knowing that Concubine Hui is a stalking wolf, she still has to dance disco in front of the wolves. The emperor will not understand this feeling.
Yu Wenjie really didn't understand much, but he still got up, put on his outer clothes, walked up to her, and hugged someone.
Immediately relaxed, Hua Chun smiled, passed his hands under his armpit, hugged him back, and shouted: "Charge!"
Qing Niao next to her blushed and turned away, but the emperor curled his lips where Hua Chun could not see.
After a while, the lingering was released, the emperor was about to go to court, Hua Chun was going to the Hall of Qinghe, and the two of them split up after getting better clothes.
All the people Huachun met along the way greeted her with a smile, and many people of low status also greeted her. But no one stopped to follow her, either went first or followed her.
Such a scene reminded her of the courtiers' attitude towards her when they first said they wanted to change the disaster relief method.
Sighing, Hua Chun raised his chin, and stepped into the Qinghe Hall with a proud posture of a peacock spreading its tail.
There were already quite a few people sitting inside, and it was very lively, but as soon as she entered, the surroundings became quiet, and everyone didn't look at her, and each looked down at the handkerchiefs and armors in their hands.
Concubine Hui who was sitting above still smiled at her very gently: "Concubine Hua is here? Sit down."
"Thank you, ma'am." Hua Chun still sat down on the first seat on her right, facing Concubine Xi's scorching gaze, and asked calmly, "I wonder what sister Concubine Hui likes?"
Concubine Hui was taken aback, then blinked at her: "Why are you asking this?"
"I heard from the palace people that your mother's birthday is coming soon." Hua Chun said, "I just entered the palace, and I don't know how you celebrated in the past, so I want to prepare some congratulatory gifts first."
"You have a heart." Concubine Hui smiled: "But this Palace never accepts congratulatory gifts, it's just birthdays, and you don't have to worry about it when you are young."
"Since the concubine Hua has already asked, why should Concubine Hui be modest?" Huo Xianrou said with a smile: "Our concubine Hua now has a lot of treasures in the palace, are we afraid that we will not be able to give presents?"
"There are treasures, and those are also given by the emperor." Concubine Hui said with a smile: "If the emperor gives it, it should be cherished. How can there be any reason to pass it on so easily?"
Hua Chun frowned: "Is your empress looking down on concubines? So you don't even say what you like?"
These words were really straightforward, Concubine Hui took the teacup aside and sipped tea with a smile, pretending that she didn't hear it.
Huo Xianrou didn't say a word, and the surroundings were quiet, just to embarrass Hua Chun on purpose.
Concubine Hua was really angry, but she seemed to be jealous of Concubine Hui, she didn't dare to get angry on the spot, she just got up and said: "An also invites, concubine will leave first."
"Go slowly." Concubine Hui still smiled.
Everyone looked sideways, watching the concubine Hua fling her sleeves angrily and leaving, and then they all flattered: "Concubine Hui really deserves to be the person in power in the harem."
"Yes, if it were us, we wouldn't dare to ignore her."
Concubine Hui pursed her lips, and when everyone dispersed, she left Lan Zhaoyi behind.
The emperor retired from court and was about to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was invited by Li Zhongtang to the Hall of Zichen.
"Today, the old minister has many important matters to report, and I hope that the emperor can put the harem aside first."
Glancing at him, the emperor sat down: "What's the matter?"
Li Zhongtang prepared a stack full of notebooks, and started reading from the first one upon hearing this.
Seeing his posture, it is impossible to have lunch with Huachun today, the emperor listened to what he said resignedly, and waved someone to report a letter to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Understood." After receiving the news, Hua Chun nodded, and continued to sort out the harem's relationship with the roster.
Qing Ling said worriedly: "There are so many women here, can you really handle it?"
Hua Chun waved his hand: "Don't worry, after all, we are the protagonists now, so we should have the halo of the protagonists."
"But..." After hesitating for a while, Qing Niao said: "The development of this TV series is different from what I watched, and the ending in the end may not necessarily be a happy one. If you take a wrong step, there is a possibility that it will directly end possible."
After a slight pause, Hua Chun looked up at her with a serious expression: "You mean, if I did something terrible, I still have to die, and I don't have any privileges?"
"Theoretically, that's right." Qing Niao said: "I only know that Prime Minister Hua's catastrophe was the day when your identity was exposed. In the original TV series, the prime minister really died, but you didn't. So follow-up How you develop depends entirely on your performance."
Holding his forehead, Hua Chun sighed: "I really bear the ability and beauty that I shouldn't have at my age."
Qing Ling: "..."
"Your Majesty." Ruier came in from the outside and said with a smile: "The emperor was caught by Li Zhongtang, and he probably won't be free until evening. I just sent someone to tell me that when I'm done, I will accompany you to the lotus pond in the harem. look."
Looking up at her, Hua Chun said disgustedly: "Your news is too late, someone has already talked about it just now."
"Ah?" Rui'er blinked: "The servant just came back, has someone already reported it?"
Qing Niao nodded: "I told the emperor that I can't come here for the time being, but I didn't say anything about going to the lotus pond at night."
"Where is the lotus pond?" Huachun asked.
Rui'er pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "It's the place where Nie Cairen died, but he has done rituals, and now the scenery is still pleasant, there are no lotus flowers, and there are osmanthus flowers beside it."
let her go there? Want to go to the scene to investigate how Nie Cairen died? Hua Chun said: "I see, where is the red moss?"
Rui'er said: "I rested all night, and now my mood has stabilized, do you want to see Master?"
"Bring it on."
"yes."
Hongtai dared to sleep peacefully in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but her face was still ugly, and she buried her head low to greet her: "See you, empress."
"What you said yesterday, you will tell Ben Gong everything you know." Looking at her, Hua Chun said very seriously: "Let's talk about it now."
The door of the palace was closed, only Hua Chun and Qing Niao were left inside, Hong Tai hesitated for a long time before saying: "I don't know much about slaves, after all, they are not personal servants, the only thing that is clear is that Nie Cairen was I received the news that I am going to see Shengjia."
