"What?" Concubine An Xian frowned, her subordinates made a sudden movement, almost tore the rice paper, "Already dead?"

"Yes, and the person sent reported that it was a method similar to Baiqisi." Wen Hui added.

"Baiqisi." Concubine An Xian raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Your Majesty is still so good-looking."

Wen Hui didn't answer the conversation. After watching Concubine An Xian put the folded rice paper into the letterhead, she took a new piece of rice paper from the side, tore it into small strips, picked up the pen and put the ink on it. He stopped writing for a moment.

Concubine An Xian looked at it for a moment, nodded slightly in satisfaction, then took out a small bamboo tube from a side drawer, rolled the paper into it, sealed it with sealing paint, and handed it to Wen Hui along with the letterhead just now.

"Give the letter to elder brother. As for the secret letter, find a way for Ban Jieyu to intercept it." Concubine An Xian ordered.

"Yes." Wen Hui stepped back in response. Although he had doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

"What time is it now?" Concubine An Xian stretched her muscles and bones, and looked at the bright sunshine outside, her mood sank.

"Go back to your mother, it's already a quarter of noon." The little maidservant replied.

"It's already noon, why hasn't Heng'er come back?" Concubine An Xian couldn't help frowning.

"Mother Concubine." As soon as Concubine An Xian finished speaking, the fourth prince came in from outside the door, "I send my regards to Concubine Mother."

"The school dismissed at four o'clock, why did you come back at this hour?" Concubine An Xian said dissatisfied.

"The prince just got a thrush a few days ago, and it was very fun. Just now, my minister went to the East Palace with the prince to play with it, so he came back late." The fourth prince looked at Concubine An Xian slightly annoyed, not daring to do anything. Deceived, had to answer truthfully.

"Playing with things and losing one's ambition!" Concubine An Xian could only turn up the volume, which shocked the Fourth Prince. "After school, you should go back to the palace quickly and review your homework. How can you play with birds and waste your time!"

"Obviously the prince took me there..." The fourth prince couldn't help but retort, who would have angered Concubine An Xian even more.

"You still know that he is the prince! Now that you know, you should know the difference between you and him! If you can't work hard, how can you be discovered by His Majesty, how can you be reused!" Concubine An Xian looked at the fourth prince, quite like a child. The feeling of teaching.

"So what can I do if I work hard, and what can I do if I don't work hard, but I'm still a prince, I'll never be a prince!" The fourth prince also lost his temper and contradicted him, "Since I'm a prince, why should I work myself to death like Prince Li? Isn't it possible to be an idle prince?"

"Presumptuous!" It was rare for Concubine An Xian to get angry, she suddenly got up, picked up the paperweight on the case, and tried to smash it.

The fourth prince didn't dodge, just closed his eyes and stood there with his neck stuck.

Concubine An Xian held up the paperweight, her chest heaved violently, but looking at the face of the fourth prince with a clear and clear look in his eyes, it was difficult to make a move.

"Back off!" Concubine An Xian finally slapped the paper weight on the table, pointed at the door and angrily reprimanded.

The fourth prince opened his eyes and glanced at Concubine An Xian, saluted hastily, and ran out in a hurry, almost knocking down Wen Hui who was about to enter the door.

"Young lady calm down." Seeing that Concubine Anxian was very angry, Wen Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Anxian sit down, and poured tea with a pot. Get angry."

"Still young? He has already tied his hair, and in a few years, he will be divided into fiefdoms." Concubine An Xian glared at Wen Hui, took the tea in her hand and drank it down, calmed down after a while, "That's all , he has no one to discipline him in the palace, he is used to being lazy, so he has to spend more time."

Wen Hua, hey, didn't dare to say much, just quietly watched Concubine Anxian calm down by herself, returning to the calm and dignified in the past.It's been a long time since her mother lost her composure. She can't remember the time and reason of the last time.

"In a few days, these lotus flowers will all bloom." Ban Jieyu was helped by the maid, and walked in the yard. "If you send someone to catch a few koi and put them in, it will be considered a perfect contrast."

"My sister is elegant, so I can't go wrong." Beauty Duanmu smiled slightly, but her brows were full of sorrow.

"The Sichuan character between my sister's eyebrows, I really feel pity." Ban Jieyu raised her hand, gently smoothing Duanmu beauty's frowning eyebrows.

"Sister, tell me what's going on with Brother Bin now. He received [-] sticks and was kicked out of the palace, and his family is not by his side. How can this be unbearable?" Beauty Duanmu sighed, tears filled instantly Eye sockets "If there is something wrong with him, let me do what I can."

Ban Jieyu's face froze, and she lowered her eyes silently: "It should be...you'll be fine, you miss him so much, he will definitely feel it, and you should also pay attention to your body."

"Sister..." Beauty Duanmu raised her hand and grabbed Ban Jieyu's sleeve, "The Ban family has been an official for a long time, and their roots are deep. As early as the founding of the country, there were women from the Ban family who entered the palace. There must be informants who have contacts outside the palace. The older sister asked the younger sister a few words, and the younger sister just wanted to know if Liu Bin was okay."

"Okay." Ban Jieyu responded, but sighed silently in her heart, not daring to look into Duanmu beauty's eyes, and could only lower her head and fiddle with some lotus flowers in the vat.

"Yo? Sister Ban is very elegant. This green lotus is a rare thing. Your Majesty rewarded my sister with six vats. It can be seen that I have added favor to my sister." Shu Cairen helped the servant girl's hand and came in with a shake. "To Ban Jieyu, beauty Duanmu, hello, my two sisters are blessed."

"No, sister Shu is fine too." As the saying goes, don't hit smiling people, seeing her smiling and polite manner, Ban Jieyu felt embarrassed to chase away the guests directly.

"Why are you here?" Beauty Duanmu was furious as soon as she looked at Shucai. If it wasn't for Ban Jieyu who secretly blocked her, she would have rushed forward.

"It's strange what my sister said. Can't you come to greet Ban Jieyu if you don't have anything to do?" Seeing the excitement in my sister's courtyard, I thought of joining in."

"Hmph." Beauty Duanmu flicked her sleeves angrily, turned around and wanted to go back to the house.

"Sister Duanmu stay a step." Shu Cairen raised his voice, Duanmu beauty couldn't help but stop and look back.

"My sister got some good news. I think it must be a happy event for Sister Duanmu. Don't you want to hear it?" Shu Cairen held his stomach with one hand and the servant girl with the other, and walked slowly to the two of them. Son.

"I don't know, where does this joy come from?" Ban Jieyu took a step forward, standing between Shu Cairen and Duanmu Beauty, with a fake smile on her face like Shu Cairen.

"This joy comes from the person who offended Sister Duanmu a few days ago." Shu Cairen paused on purpose, and looked at the two with a smile.

Duanmu Beauty shrank her pupils when she heard this, stared at Shu Cairen tightly, and couldn't help but grabbed Ban Jieyu's wrist, unaware that her long armor had already dug into Ban Jieyu's skin.

"Sister Duanmu was offended and frightened by this. Why did you mention this person at this moment?" Ban Jieyu frowned slightly, enduring the pain in her wrist, and angrily scolded.

"Sister is pregnant, don't get annoyed by this matter, since sister doesn't care, then sister just don't talk about it." Shu Cairen pursed his lips and waved his hands one after another.

"No..." Beauty Duanmu said suddenly, and Ban Jieyu's heart trembled. Beauty Duanmu gritted her teeth and tried her best to restrain her trembling voice, "I want to know, tell me."

"Since Sister Duanmu wants to listen, those sisters can no longer stop me." Shucai pushed the boat forward, and walked half a step in front of the two of them, leaning slightly and parting his vermilion lips, "Liu Bin is dead."

Duanmu Beauty heard the words like thunder, and was stunned in place. Ban Jieyu frowned, not knowing what to do.

"The person who offends my sister deserves what he deserves. Isn't it a great happy event?" Shu Cairen smiled and looked at Duanmu beauty's dull peripheral vision, "Sister Duanmu? Sister Duanmu, are you okay?"

"Yes... It's really... a happy event..." Beauty Duanmu opened her mouth with difficulty, tears streaming down her face the moment she opened her mouth.

"Sister!" Ban Jieyu grabbed the arm of the crumbling Duanmu beauty and looked at her worriedly.

"It is said that it was Baiqisi's hands. Sister Baiqisi should know? But I guess my sister probably doesn't know Baiqisi's method." Cover your face with mulberry paper, sprinkle water on it, cover it again, and repeat the process until you are alive...Ah!" 1

Shu Cairen covered his face and looked at Ban Jieyu who had slapped him in disbelief.

"Presumptuous!" Ban Jieyu was furious, pointing at Shu Cairen's trembling hand, "How can you speak out about such an unbearable matter! As a concubine, you should understand what it means to be cautious in your words and deeds! For the sake of your pregnancy today, your punishment will be spared, and you will leave Xuemei Hall immediately!"

"Jieyu is so unreasonable. You clearly ordered me to say it. Now that I have said it, I say that what I said is unsightly!" Shu Cairen sneered, "You should ask Beauty Duanmu what I said What's wrong with it?"

"Get lost..." Beauty Duanmu was trembling all over, barely able to squeeze out a word from between her teeth.

"What?" Not only Shu Cairen was stunned, but even Ban Jieyu found it inconceivable.

"I'll let you go!" Beauty Duanmu raised her head suddenly and roared angrily.

"What's the point of this? I came to announce the good news, but I was pointed at by the so-called famous Shuyuan, and your daughters are nothing more than the same." Shu Cairen sneered, "That's all, I just treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs out of good intentions." Forget it, my sister will leave."

"Sister... tell me, what she said is not true, right, she is trying to provoke me on purpose! She hates me! She hates me, so she is lying to me, right?" Beauty Duanmu pulled Ban Jieyu's sleeve , asked almost hoarsely.

"I..." Ban Jieyu looked at Duanmu beauty's pear blossom with rain, but she couldn't say this pair of words.

Ban Jieyu's appearance had already told Duanmu Beauty everything. In an instant, Duanmu Beauty seemed to have her soul taken away. She stopped crying and just stared straight at Ban Jieyu. After staring for a while, she suddenly started to laugh wildly.

"Jia'er!" Beauty Duanmu's appearance really frightened Ban Jieyu, "Come here! Xuan Imperial Physician! Xuan Imperial Physician!"

Nong Mo responded and hurriedly walked out, but was stopped by Ban Jieyu again.

"Just say that my stomach pain is unbearable. Don't alarm others, and don't let people know about Jia'er! Go!" Ban Jieyu urged.

"Yes." Nong Mo replied, when he ran out, he didn't see Shu Cai who was still standing at the door.

"My lord, let's go back quickly, Ban Jieyu's slap is not light, go back and let the servants roll you with eggs, Mo Yan made His Majesty see upset." Cui Yan said.

"Beauty Duanmu is useless this time, and I feel at ease in my heart." Shu Cairen smiled, not caring about the injury on his face. "Go back, I am in a good mood today, and the whole hospital will reward me!"
