After saying goodbye to Meng Li'an, Yao Xi returned to the guard room.

Her face was still hot, and her remorse for kissing the empress dowager back was getting deeper and deeper.She's playing with fire, the empress is pretty, but it's not worth her life for such a thing!What if the empress takes off her clothes?If the empress finds out that the male pet she has adopted is actually a girl, she doesn't know what kind of reaction she will have.

This kind of thing must not happen a second time, otherwise he would not live to leave the palace.Yao Xi figured it out, she had to make the empress dislike her, it would be best if the empress would get goose bumps when she touched her like yesterday.

The key is how to do it?Don't get a trace, don't let the empress see that she doesn't want to serve the bed.

Yao Xi thought of an idea.If she catches a cold, she won't be able to serve her near the empress dowager, and she can't even touch her.Just do it when you think about it, isn't it easy to catch a cold?

The Empress Dowager was still sleeping in the bedroom, and Yao Xi went to the well on the right side of the guard room.It is almost noon now, and the sun is high in the sky, which can make people sweat.Yao Xi went to the well and fetched a bucket of water, picked up the wooden bucket and poured the cold well water on his head, the well water was so cold that Yao Xi shivered.

She slowed down and threw the bucket back into the well, turned the wheel vigorously to beat a bucket, and poured it on her head without saying a word.After pouring four or five buckets in a row, Yao Xi was already gritting his teeth from the cold.

A eunuch who went to fetch water from the well yard saw Yao Xi pouring water on his head, and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Yao, what are you doing?"

Yao Xi didn't expect that someone would come over when the dining hall opened, so he was a little grandiose, and he made up an excuse and said: "The sun is hot, and it's uncomfortably hot. Come here to take a shower." After finishing speaking, he picked up a bucket of water It was poured over the top.

"It's not summer yet... Eunuch Yao should ask a doctor to take a look! You probably have a serious internal fire, and it's useless to take a shower." The eunuch said kindly.

Yao Xi thanked with a smile, handed the barrel to the eunuch and said, "You are busy! I'm going back to the guard room." Although the dining hall was open, she couldn't eat there like other eunuchs. These two days are used together with the empress dowager.

The eunuch who came to fetch water and wash clothes took the wooden bucket from Yao Xi and threw it back into the well, then stared at a pool of dark red water on the ground and muttered in a low voice: "Huh~ what is this?" He looked up and was about to Yao Xi, who left, stopped her loudly: "Eunuch Yao, wait a minute!"

Yao Xi turned around with a puzzled face, and saw the eunuch pointing at the bloody water stain on the ground, blushing.But she immediately thought of an excuse and said that the wound was open.Is life more important than face?Of course it is fate!

Before she could say her excuses, the eunuch smiled and pointed at Yao Xi's red uniform and said, "Isn't it the first time you wear this clothes, Eunuch? It's faded a bit."

"Oh... yes." Yao Xi hurriedly turned around and left.When she left, she secretly sweated for herself, but luckily she was wearing red clothes.The empress dowager didn't like to see her in eunuch's uniform, and she only had two ordinary clothes, which couldn't be changed when they got wet, so she changed into the official uniform of the young eunuch when she came to the well.

so close!The fact that her wound was easily broken was almost going to spread throughout the palace and become a laughing stock.

After pouring so many buckets of water, she didn't even sneeze until she went to the dining hall to serve her mother for lunch, not to mention catching a cold.Wasn't the body weak when the aunt came to visit?Pour cold water under the sun, isn't it the easiest to catch cold when it's hot and cold?

Why does it look useless at all?Could it be that she is too healthy?

Yao Xi was very worried, worried that the servants would be waiting for her at night.At that time, it will definitely not be as simple as kissing and hugging in clothes... She must catch a cold, before the night comes, before the empress dowager touches her again.

The lunch had already been delivered, Wan Yu saw that Yao Xi was holding the chopsticks but not moving, with a dazed expression on his face, so she tapped the table with her knuckles.

The worried Yao Xi glanced blankly at the Empress Dowager.

"Why don't you eat? Waiting for Ai's family to feed you?" Wan Yu saw that Yao Xi seemed to be more dazed than usual, and her little face was entangled with what she was thinking.She suspected that her push last night completely broke the child's not-so-good mind, and Wan Yu felt a little sorry when she thought about it.She said in a gentle tone: "You don't need to eat anything else, just drink up the porridge in front of you!"

It was porridge for nourishing blood and nourishing qi according to the prescription of Imperial Physician Fu.This girl Yao Xi seems to be due to starvation when she was a child, not only is she short and thin, but her vitality and blood are also very weak.This problem can only be rectified slowly, not in a hurry.

"Your servant obeys the order." Yao Xi swallowed the porridge obediently.Not only did the porridge contain red dates, which she didn't like, but it also had an unpleasant smell of traditional Chinese medicine.Yao Xi understood that this was the empress dowager's grace. The empress must have watched her faint last night, so she specially ordered the kitchen to cook the medicinal food, but the medicine was bitter. go down.

"Accompany Ai's family to go out of the palace after lunch." Wan Yu put down her chopsticks after using a little something, and watched Yao Xi drink porridge in pain with a smile on her lips.

Leaving the palace?Yao Xi's subconscious first reaction was that the empress dowager dared to leave the palace?In the heavily guarded Ouchi Imperial Palace, assassins would come to the door every now and then, and the empress dared to leave the palace?Isn't this going to die!

"Yes. Where is the empress going?" Yao Xi was really worried about the safety of the empress dowager, and even more worried about his own safety who was serving the empress dowager.

Wan Yu smiled and said, "Go to the Guozhang's mansion. Look at the house raid!" Wan Yu wanted to see with her own eyes how much wealth Zhu's family had. Apart from curiosity, she also had a little bit of comparability. She wanted to see if there was really someone in Daxing who could Richer than her!

But she didn't dare to go to the Zhu Mansion swaggeringly in a phoenix chariot, because there were too many people outside the palace who wanted her life.She could only watch this scene secretly.

Seeing the happy appearance of the Empress Dowager, Yao Xi thought that the old man was going to have a spring outing!The result is to see the home of the country’s father-in-law being ransacked... “Madam, why was the country’s father-in-law’s house ransacked?” The country’s father-in-law is the empress’s father, His Majesty’s father-in-law, what crimes must he commit to be ransacked?

Wan Yu said indifferently: "Oh. He sent the assassins in Ning'an Palace last time."

Yao Xi had an unbelievable expression on his face.

***

When Yao Shuanglan returned to Qianqing Palace, the emperor went to Concubine Shu's Palace where the fake eunuch was found. Tang Huaili did not follow to serve the emperor, but sat in the hall drinking tea and waiting for Yao Shuanglan.

"Eunuch Tang." Yao Shuanglan stepped up to Tang Huaili and knelt down and bowed, "Shuanglan thanked Eunuch Tang on behalf of my father."

"My lord, please stand up and talk. There is no reason for a master to salute a slave in the palace." Tang Huaili couldn't help him, so he stood up and said, "Sit down and talk! Your lord and I are old friends. The emperor knows that, let's go to the court together." It’s good to be square.”

Yao Shuanglan sat down on the chair opposite Tang Huaili and said, "What did father-in-law find out about the case back then? Is it related to Dongchangchanggong Meng Delai?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Tang Huaili's face. He searched for a long time before finding the clue to Meng Delai. How did Lan Guiren know about it as soon as he came out of the cold palace?

"Your guess is good. Although there is no evidence, judging from everything that has been found so far, Meng Delai is likely to be the real murderer behind the scenes. In the massacre of the Shu family back then, the evidence pointed to your father. The most powerful evidence is the surviving one. The testimony of Shu Yongfang, the eldest son of the Shu family. And that Shu Yongfang, someone once saw him go in and out of Meng Delai's private house."

"Your father-in-law means that Shu Yongfang colluded with Meng Delai to kill his own family and planted it on his father?" Yao Shuanglan couldn't believe it. "But why? If it's for money, the Shu family is also a wealthy family. And all the property of the Shu family is used to frame Daddy. What benefits will Shu Yongfang get by doing this?"

Tang Huaili was about to tell Yao Shuanglan everything he had found out, when he suddenly heard the sound of the emperor returning to the palace outside, so he hurriedly stood up to greet him.Yao Shuanglan had no choice but to temporarily put aside her doubts, and followed Tang Huaili to meet the holy driver outside the hall.

Emperor Ming Cheng walked into the main hall with a livid face, not allowing anyone to follow, and directly dragged Lan Guiren into the bedroom.

He went to Concubine Shu's palace to interrogate the fake eunuch, and all the eunuchs were recruited before the sentence was executed.It is said that he has been in the palace for more than four years, more than four years?The eunuch inspects every three years. What do the inspectors eat?And the little princess born to Concubine Shu happens to be three years old this year, hehe, what a coincidence.

Yao Shuanglan was dragged by the emperor to the bedroom, the more she walked in, the more afraid she felt.The emperor didn't want her to sleep in bed, did he?

After entering the sleeping hall, Emperor Ming Cheng closed the door, turned around and said to Lan Guiren with an almost begging tone: "Shuanglan, give me a child! Will you?" His eyes were red, I don't know if he stayed up all night last night The reason is because I cried just now.

Yao Shuanglan hid back, suppressed her uneasiness and tried to calmly say: "The emperor said that he would not force his concubines."

"I'm begging you." Ming Chengdi's eyes became increasingly foggy, and the fog condensed into tears, which were about to fall. "I can promise you that you will never touch another woman again, I can promise you that you will vindicate Yao Qing, I can also guarantee that you and my prince must be the prince, the princess must be the jewel in my palm, and you are the only woman in my life." .”

Yao Shuanglan lowered her head and said: "The concubine has no intention of conceiving an heir."

Emperor Ming Cheng sat down on the dragon bed, and said as if talking to himself: "The former emperor has seen more clearly than I do. What's the use of having more women in the harem? Even the children are not mine. But the little princess is so small. I can already run and jump, and I can clearly call my father Huang... I can’t do anything." He has no way of knowing which of the princes and princesses are his own and which are not, they are all children who have grown up with him, even if they are not his own. Even his own flesh and blood can't kill a killer.He can even protect their prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives, but he will never hand over the throne to anyone, nor will he designate the land as king.

He wants to give birth to a child who is sure to belong to him with the person he loves, and then hand over everything he has with confidence.What is the use of Sangong Liuyuan?One person who loves each other is enough.

"Your Majesty~" Yao Shuanglan felt distressed when she heard it, but she couldn't do anything, she only had one heart, and she had already given it to Longyi.
