"Your Majesty!" Hu Po suddenly opened the curtain and came in, startling Mu Luoluo, her hands trembled, and the needle stuck on her fingertips, and immediately, beads of blood came out.

"Why are you so panicked? Could it be that the sky is falling." Su Qingwan raised her eyes and glared at Hu Po, then looked at Mu Luoluo worriedly.

"I'm not in the way." Mu Luoluo put her fingertips into her mouth and sucked it, then looked at Amber, "Speak, what's the matter?"

"Just now, the servant went to the Inner Court to receive this month's monthly payment, but the father-in-law told the servant that His Majesty has suspended your monthly payment for three months." Hu Po said.

"As expected." Su Qingwan didn't care, "Can I ask when is the order?"

"I asked, it was yesterday." Amber replied.

"Whose palace did your majesty go to yesterday?" Su Qingwan looked at Jin Qing who was arranging embroidery thread for Mu Luoluo.

"Yesterday at noon, Your Majesty had lunch at the Zihua Palace, then went to the Empress's place, and looked at the signboard of Wu Meiren at night." Jin Qing replied.

"An Yiran." Su Qingwan squinted her eyes, and tapped on the table with her fingers unhurriedly.

"In this way, many things can be explained clearly." Mu Luoluo stopped and looked at Su Qingwan.

"That's right, when the musk bracelet was worn, Concubine An Xian only asked a question and stopped talking, and no one paid attention to her." Su Qingwan chuckled, "The maids of Zihua Palace are so loyal."

"There is also the incident of encountering a snake in the palace." Mu Luoluo said, "At that time, we could not confirm that it was the reason why Shu Cairen did it, and the reason why Zhao Zhaorong did not help her. Now it seems that these two are pawns. It’s all about supporting each other.”

"But I have no grievances with An Yiran, why bother to harm me?" Su Qingwan frowned, very confused.

"Concubine An Xian never wanted to harm you. I mean, Zhao Zhaorong and Shu Cairen are working under the same person, so they can help each other in harmony. Therefore, the incident of encountering a snake has nothing to do with Concubine An Xian. It could be that the chess pieces in her hands have set up a game on their own." Mu Luoluo pulled out what she needed from the embroidery threads that Jin Qing had arranged, and then signaled Jin Qing to put away the rest.

"Ever since Shucai entered the palace, Concubine An Xian has been fond of him. As early as when she brought Shucai into the side palace, I should have guessed that the two have a deep personal relationship. This time is really too careless. "Su Qingwan said angrily.

"I think it's not because you were careless, but because you thought wrong." Mu Luoluo looked at Su Qingwan's appearance, couldn't help laughing, stood up and walked in front of Su Qingwan, raised her hand and gently pinched Su Qingwan's cheek "I guess, at first, Do you think that Concubine An Xian's reason for bringing Shu Cairen into the side palace is the same as the reason you brought Xiao Zhang's into the side palace back then?"

"You really see through me." Su Qingwan put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, buried her face in her belly and rubbed it together, "I only thought she was flattering her, but I didn't want to be really flattering her."

"I can't figure this out." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and gently stroked Su Qingwan's head, looking over the window to look at the crabapple in the backyard. , and being proud of being a literati, it is reasonable not to form cliques, so how can you win over Shucai people this time?"

"I don't know either. Moreover, I don't even know when Zhao Zhaorong became so friendly with Concubine An Xian." Su Qingwan raised her head, resting her chin on Mu Luoluo's abdomen, and she trembled as she spoke.

"Don't make a fuss, it's so itchy." Mu Luoluo laughed, the slight trembling in her abdomen made her heart itch.

"Luoluo, I always feel that I seem to have missed something fatal." Su Qingwan let go of Mu Luoluo's waist, and motioned for her to sit down beside her, "Do you have this feeling?"

"I'm not as intelligent as Qing Wan, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. On the contrary, I think that with Shu Cai's troubles, I know a lot of things. As the saying goes, it's a blessing in disguise." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and held Su Qingwan Pulling her into his arms, he kissed her gently on the top of her hair, "There's no need to worry too much, it's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil."

"En." Su Qingwan responded softly, raised her hand to grab a strand of black hair on Mu Luoluo's temple, and played with her fingertips, "By the way, I forgot to ask, how about Xuemei Palace?"

"My servant just went to inquire. Everything is fine in Xuemei Hall. His Majesty also rewarded Young Master Duanmu with a lot of tonics for nourishing Qi and calming the nerves." Hei Yao, who came in at an unknown time, replied.

"It seems that His Majesty also wanted to suppress this matter quietly, and didn't want to make a public announcement, so I escaped." Su Qingwan glanced at Hei Yao approvingly.

"After all, she is the daughter of the Duanmu family. Your majesty still has to take care of the Duanmu family's face." Mu Luoluo sighed. For a married daughter, what is more reliable than a strong mother's family? What do you mean?"

"This is a big gamble. I bet on whether Your Majesty wants to publicize this matter. I bet on my wealth and life." Su Qingwan sat up straight and looked at Mu Luoluo seriously, without any sign of joking. I was furious because of the incident, not to mention whether these two people can save their lives, but just to say that my concealment and failure to report is also a felony, plus as a first-rank imperial concubine, it is not an exaggeration to put me in the cold palace , Didn’t I bet my family and life?”

"You are so..." After Mu Luoluo said it to her, she also understood the pros and cons of it, and couldn't help but gasped.

"Fortunately, I made the right bet." Su Qingwan smiled softly, leaned over and kissed Mu Luoluo's cheek, and quickly said before she could speak, "There will be no next time."

"You..." Su Qingwan had already said what Mu Luoluo was about to say in advance, and Mu Luoluo had no choice but to poke Su Qingwan's forehead with her hand, and sighed dotingly, "But I want to know, why did you bet on this?" ?”

"I'm also a fallen person in Tianya, let's be soft-hearted for a moment." Su Qingwan sighed, looked down at herself and Mu Luoluo's intertwined fingers, "I also want Ban Jieyu to remember me well, no matter whether the child in her belly is a boy or not." It's a girl, as long as she can land on the ground, she will definitely be able to be promoted to the second rank, and it is not impossible to be a concubine in the future, if you can keep personal feelings in mind, it will be easier to do things."

"Forget it, you've already done the left and right things, no matter how dissatisfied I am, there's nothing I can do about it." Mu Luoluo squeezed Su Qingwan's hand, "Don't be so crazy in the future."

"I'll try my best." Su Qingwan said, leaning over to plead with Mu Luoluo's mouth, and then looked at Mu Luoluo pitifully, "However, although there is no danger of life this time, I did not report it because His Majesty was dissatisfied. I have been fined three months of salary, so maybe Luoluo can support me for these three months?"

"A few days ago, the bank note in the family letter handed over by your mother-in-law is not enough to cover your three months' salary?" Mu Luoluo smiled and said, "You don't need to look closely to know that the bank note belongs to my Mu family's bank. Coincidentally, I can count you as raising you."

"That makes sense." Su Qingwan also laughed, and then turned to Jin Qing, "How are you doing with what I told you a few days ago?"

"Wang Bi has almost prepared it. He can bring it into the palace at any time, just waiting for the order of the empress. He also said that if the empress can give it another two days, it may be the icing on the cake." Jin Qing replied.

"Of course it's possible, don't worry about it in a day or two, and you can tell me when he's ready." Su Qingwan raised her hand to straighten her temples, "It's really me who has to bother you to do this before you get married. When the master treats the servants harshly."

"Being able to serve the empress is a blessing for a servant, and it would be cruel. If it wasn't for the empress, the servant would not have the fate to know Wang Bi." Jin Qing laughed.

"Forget it, the left and right dowry Luoluo has been prepared for you, and you don't need to prepare anything. You just need to cover it with a feather fan and carry it out when the day comes." Su Qingwan couldn't help but joked, "You two, wait Don't forget to ask for money on the day she gets married, she is very rich now."

"That's right, Jin Qing told the maidservant that the royal guard has received a great reward from His Majesty." Hu Po replied with a smile.

"Amber! You betrayed me again!" Jin Qing stomped her feet in shame, and raised her hand to hit her, but Hu Po quickly pulled Hei Yao to block her, Jin Qing saw Hei Yao's innocent face, and had to give up angrily.

"Okay, let's make trouble on Jinqing's wedding day." Mu Luoluo said, "At that time, I'll let you go."

"Yes." The three maids froze and frolicked.

"Hei Yao has been clever these past few days, and has seen what's going on at Xiyuan Terrace." Su Qingwan supported the head with one hand, and played with the Jingdezhen ceramic cup on the table with the other. They were originally a pair, but a few days ago He was beaten by His Majesty, and now he is alone.

"Yes." Obsidian replied.

"Shu's arrogance has been going on for a while, and it should be over." Su Qingwan said as she turned the teacup upside down on the table, "Amber, you send this cup to Shucai, and say it's me. Rewarded."

"Yes." Amber responded, stepped forward to take the teacup, and backed out.

Mu Luoluo, who had just returned to sit down in front of the embroidery shed, raised her eyes and glanced at Su Qingwan, who happened to be looking at her with a smile on her face, her eyes met with tenderness.

"Your Majesty, the letter from my hometown in Hangzhou." Wen Hui's letter stood in front of Concubine An Xian's case.

"Let's put it down, the left and right are also parents' faults, so don't rush to look at it now." Concubine An Xian replied casually, her subordinates were not stopping, "A few days ago, I heard that Shucai people were making noise, do you know what it is for?"

"It's not a big deal, but it's Concubine Shu who rewarded a teacup, and Shu Xiaozhu is upset." Wen Hui replied, and continued to reply without waiting for Concubine An Xian to ask, "It's the one with Jin Jieyu who had a small birth." Today, the one His Majesty threw in front of Shu Xiaozhu is a pair."

Concubine An Xian paused when she heard the words, then reached for the inkstone, dipped the ink again and sipped the tip, "Su Qingwan has broken up with Shu Jiujiu, and someone reminded her to restrain herself these few days."

"Yes." Wen Hui replied, "I don't know what Xiaozhu Shu thinks, but he wants to provoke Concubine Shu."

"It's just petty. Concubine Shu just scolded her a few words when she first entered the palace, and she has held grudges to this day." Concubine An Xian said casually. After writing the last sentence, she hung the wolf hair back on the pen holder, and then folded the rice paper carefully. What happened to what I told you to do a few days ago?"

"Hui Niangniang, according to your instructions, send someone to look for Liu Bin, but when our people find him, he is already dead." Wen Hui said.
