Kuaichuan is poisonous: why don't you go to heaven as a female partner

Chapter 304

"Sister Xia Cao, is the Empress okay?"

As soon as Xia Cao came out of the inner hall, a little court lady with a round face and smiling eyes greeted her.

"It's still the same."

Xia Cao smiled helplessly, and glanced at the maid again.

These court ladies were sent by Zhao Qingcheng as the person in charge of the harem after Ruo Lanlan returned to Fengzao Palace.

Since Lichun was taught a lesson on the first day, they all followed the rules and did not dare to go beyond the inner hall.

And Xia Cao has never left Ruo Lanlan's affairs to others, and has always done it herself.

However, in this way, these maids don't have much to do, but Xia Cao found that the little maid named Lian Dong in front of her was much more diligent than the others, and she was smiling every day, making her look very comfortable.

"Sister Xiacao will guard here at night, remember to drink plenty of water."

Lonicera didn't talk too much, poured two glasses of water from the kettle on the table, and put one of them in front of Xiacao.

Xia Cao glanced at it:
"By the way, why has the water been a little sweet and yellower than usual in these two days?"

"I added some Ophiopogon japonicus in it, thinking that Sister Xiacao talks a lot on weekdays..."

Liandong stuck out her tongue, drank the cup in front of her again, and poured another cup.

Xia Cao glanced casually and nodded:
"It's still you who are careful."

She was about to pick it up when she heard an "ah" from the inner hall, and she stood up quickly:
"The Empress is calling me, I'll go in first."

"Sister, don't worry."

Liandong watched Xia Cao leave with a smile, then turned to look at the teapot on the table.

"Hey, Lonicera, go fetch a basin of hot water."

Xia Cao quickly ran out again and ordered Lonicera.

She had never ordered others to do things related to the queen before, but today she broke the rules. Lonicera couldn't help but nodded happily:

"Okay, here we come."

After a period of commotion, the sound of rushing water came from the inner hall.

Lonicera waited patiently until Xiacao brought out the empty basin, and saw that she was so tired that she was sitting on a chair panting, shouting that she was thirsty, while drinking the water on the table in one gulp.

Liandong felt relieved, and smiled as she picked up the cup in front of her to drink.

As soon as she finished drinking, she saw the queen who hardly ever left the inner hall on weekdays came out, pointing to the teapot on the table:
"Water, water..."

"Ma'am, would you like some water?"

Lonicera stood up first in a fawning manner.

Ruo Lanlan tilted her head:

"The water doesn't taste good, so I changed it."

"Your Majesty, are you saying that there are two cups here?"

While supporting Ruo Lanlan, Xia Cao glanced at Lonicera from the corner of her eyes.

Liandong seemed to have been struck by lightning, with a dull expression on his face, and sat back on his seat with limp feet.

It really is her.

Ruo Lanlan knew what was going on and couldn't help but sigh:
Xia Cao was only worried about her diet being tampered with, but never thought about her own.

The two of them returned to the inner hall on their own, as if they didn't notice the abnormality of Lonicera.

Liandong lingered restlessly for a while, seeing that the lights in the inner hall were also extinguished, she immediately ran towards the gate of Fengzao Palace.

……

"Your Majesty, Lonicera has escaped."

Xia Cao heard the movement, opened a crack in the door and took a look.

Ruo Lanlan frowned, Lonicera accidentally drank it once, and she was so flustered. I don’t know how many times Xiacao had been fed by her?
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault for being careless. Don't be so sad."

Xia Cao knew that she was worried, and quickly comforted her.

Ruo Lanlan shook her head:
"You are already too busy on your own, so you will be taken advantage of by those people. When this matter is resolved, let father find a few more trustworthy people to send to the palace, but right now... we can only Waiting for news from King Ding."

Lonicera hurried to the vicinity of the imperial garden, and circled a few times under a tree that had already lost its flowers.

After a while, a woman in a black cloak appeared behind her.
