"At home, Mu Shuang and I are the only top-notch horses in the house." As Zhao Lu said, it was as if an old scar had been torn open bloody.

"Don't be superior, how many inferiors are there." Su Qingwan said impatiently.

"Inferior..." The shock in Zhao Lu's heart overwhelmed the fear, the inferior skinny horse is no different from arrogance, only knows a few words, and usually practices the art of the house.

Zhao Lu looked at Su Qingwan with an expression that didn't seem like she was joking. She really couldn't figure out what she was going to do, so she had to bite the bullet and replied: "Your low-class slender horse, there are three or four people in my family, at least."

"How many people in Yangzhou raise skinny horses?" Su Qingwan lowered her head, and gently tidied up the corners of her clothes.

"Yangzhou skinny horses are famous all over the world, and there are not a few people who make a living from them." Zhao Lu bit her lower lip. Since Mu Shuang's death, this is the second time she has clearly realized how miserable her background is, and she has never thought about it One day I will talk to Su Qingwan about this matter.

"Okay, you write your breadwinner's address to Bengong." Su Qingwan raised her head, and waved her hand to signal Hei Yao to hand Chao Lu a pen and paper.

Chao Lu was confused the whole time, but she didn't dare to talk too much, so she could only write honestly, and then gave it to Su Qingwan with both hands.

After Su Qingwan glanced at it, she handed it to Hei Yao, and ordered: "Order someone to send it to Qingqiu, let her buy it quickly, enter Beijing by water, ten days later, I will see twelve women in Shangqing Palace .”

"Yes." Hei Yao didn't dare to say too much, and stepped back in response.

After Zhao Lu watched Hei Yao retreat, Su Qingwan propped her head on one hand, closed her eyes and entered the state of taking a nap. At first, she didn't know whether she should go or stay, so she hesitated for a while, and decided to retreat.

"Chao Lu." Zhao Lu knelt and did not take two steps back, Su Qingwan said, "Can you sing?"

"The concubine will meet, but the empress dowager issued an edict not to allow such obscenities in the harem, so she put it down." Zhao Lu replied.

"The empress dowager is not in the palace right now." Su Qingwan opened her eyes, leaned forward and approached Chao Lu's side face, her red lips parted slightly, "Do you want to avenge Mu Shuang? The one who forced her to death should actually be the emperor."

"Niang Niang..." Chao Lu's eyes widened in horror, Su Qingwan's gentle breath puffed her face, but Chao Lu felt a cold wind.

"I'm joking." Su Qingwan laughed suddenly, straightened up, "Get back, what I said to you today, and what I made you do, are all rotten in my stomach. If you dare to confide half a word, I will Gong has many ways to make you unable to speak again in this life."

"Yes." Zhao Lu quickly backed out as if she had been pardoned, and almost bumped into Hei Yao at the door.

Standing on the corridor, Zhao Lu let out a long sigh of relief, then looked back thoughtfully at the gate of the Shangqing Palace, the handkerchief in her hand was involuntarily clenched tightly.

"How is the Shangqing Palace these few days?" Concubine Ban Chen lay reclined on the couch, propped her head with one hand, closed her eyes and asked Nong Mo, who was beating her legs.

"Since Mu Luoluo's accident, Concubine Shu has only been to Zihua Palace on the day she woke up, and she hasn't seen anything in the past ten days until yesterday." Nong Mo said while gesturing The little girl who was playing the fan on the side moved slightly, "Yesterday, Concubine Shu took off her hairpin and went to Panlong Palace in plain clothes and imperial concubine's fancy dress to plead guilty. In the unbearable position of imperial concubine, I beg Your Majesty to punish her. Seeing Concubine Shu's pitiful appearance, His Majesty naturally couldn't bear to punish her, and even allowed her to change all the servants inside and outside the Shangqing Palace."

"En." Concubine Ban Chen responded casually, "Who has been in and out of the Shangqing Palace these days?"

"On the day of the accident, Su Qingwei came, after that, only Ruan Jieyu went to see Concubine Shu, oh yes, after returning from Zihua Palace, she invited Minyu to talk to her." Nong Mo replied.

"Min Yu Nu?" Concubine Ban Chen repeated in doubt, she almost didn't remember who Min Yu Nu was, and then smiled softly, "Forget it, is there any progress in the northwest?"

"Everything went well." Nong Mo replied.

Concubine Ban Chen nodded, closed her eyes and stopped talking. After a long time, when Nong Mo thought she had fallen asleep, Concubine Ban Chen sighed softly: "The incense in the palace has not been changed for a long time. Change it tomorrow."

"The days go by so fast, it's July in the blink of an eye, and the summer is over before you know it." Jin Jieyu took the tea from Ruan Jieyu, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it "Well, it really is Good tea."

"The past month or so is fleeting for us. I think many people have had a very difficult time." Ruan Jieyu chuckled, and then looked at Jin Jieyu, "Let's talk about it?"

"Okay." Jin Jieyu readily agreed, and then said casually, "I heard that Chaolu has been promoted as Baolin now."

"Yes, when the empress dowager was here, she was not allowed to sing. Now that the empress dowager is far away in the palace, she took advantage of the loophole. She stayed in her room for seven or eight days in this month. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year are basically in Shangqing Palace." Ruan Jieyu said casually.

"Speaking of Concubine Shu, it's amazing. As they said, once Concubine Shu fights for favor, few people in this palace can take away her favor." Jin Jieyu said with emotion, "However, how did I hear that Concubine Shu Let the maids in the palace climb onto the dragon bed and serve His Majesty together?"

"Who did you hear that from?" Ruan Jieyu raised her eyes to Jin Jieyu, although her tone was startled, her eyes were calm.

"Listen to the little girl in the palace who chews her tongue." Jin Jieyu reacted belatedly, and hurriedly said, "I'll slap that girl's mouth when I get back!"

"No, let her continue talking. The more people who know about this, the better." Ruan Jieyu shook her head, calmly.

Jin Jieyu blinked suspiciously, then curled her lips in displeasure, she knew that Ruan Jieyu and the empress were in the same group, and the empress only told her if there was anything, she knew that she was also under the empress' command, but at this moment she didn't know anything.

"My lady didn't tell you, it's a blessing for you." Ruan Jieyu seemed to see through Jin Jieyu's mind, and said with a light smile, "Behind you is the whole Silla, and I have nothing to worry about. What you have to do , is to spread the rumors you can hear, no matter what they are, as widely as possible."

Jin Jieyu nodded helplessly, but she was still somewhat disappointed in her heart. Su Qingwan saved her life, but this kindness was never enough.

"Your Majesty, come to the servant's house~"

"Your Majesty, take a look at the servant's house, you can't be partial~"

"Your Majesty, my servant is here~"

"Oh~ Your Majesty, take it easy~"

Su Qingwan stood behind the curtain, watching the emperor play with the twelve skinny horses with cold eyes. The gauze was light and the clothes were messy on the floor. It was really a lively and fragrant scene.

Su Qingwan looked at it for a while, and finally withdrew quietly, standing alone in the courtyard, the moon was as round as a disk, and the silver light was shining coldly, adding a sense of mystery to the shadowy scenery in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, even though it's early autumn, the wind at night is already very cool, your Majesty should put on some clothes." Hei Yao shook off the cloak in his hand and put it on Su Qingwan.

"Is the incense lit?" Su Qingwan asked.

"It's on, and it will be changed as soon as His Majesty comes." Hei Yao replied.

"After His Majesty leaves tomorrow morning, remember to replace it." Su Qingwan raised her hand and gently pinched the center of her brows. "Any news recently?"

"Everything is just as your majesty expected. These things His Majesty has done have been widely circulated in the palace. I heard that Concubine An Xian has stopped the sedan chair to warn her several times, but Your Majesty has turned a deaf ear to it." I heard that someone from the previous dynasty prepared a book for Empress Shen."

"Okay." Su Qingwan closed her eyes, sighed deeply, her tone was a little tired, "Go down first, I want to be alone and quiet."

Hei Yao blessed his body, and stepped back lightly.

Su Qingwan raised her head, the moon in the sky was lonely, and there was not even half a star around her. Occasionally, a cloud drifted past, and she left after a while.

The emperor's temperament has been capricious recently, licentious and immoral, what's more, the emperor has a number of daughters at night, and he has not restrained himself at all. Concubine Shu even indulged his servants to have sex with the emperor.

Su Qingwan lowered her head, looked at the white jade fox that slipped from her sleeve into her palm, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stroked the little fox's tail, and whispered: "Luoluo, I will ruin everyone who hurt you, Die badly, I promise."

"What's going on recently!" Concubine An Xian looked at the letterhead that had just been delivered, and involuntarily clenched the inkstone by her hand, her knuckles gradually turning white.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. We are really being targeted by people in the south, and we dare not make any big moves." The informant saw that Concubine An Xian was furious now, wishing to disappear from her eyes immediately, but the matter hadn't been explained yet, so he had no choice but to force himself Shaking his scalp, he continued, "The person watching us is obviously a high-class hidden guard. Forgive me for guessing, maybe it is a member of the Yun family or the Feng family."

"How can my An family get in the way of these two families? It's hard to get along with my An family like this!" Concubine An Xian felt a ball of anger stuck in her chest, unable to get up or down. "What about selling tea and selling silk? This is always related to Feng Yun. The two have nothing to do, how could they lose so much overnight?"

"The Mu family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, has met us." The informant said tremblingly, "They first raised the price of tea, and then lowered the price by surprise, and directly emptied us, and then they spread rumors that Anjia tea and silk are inferior. As the Mu family said, businessmen should be the same, so we have the current scene.”

"What a Mu family, I only treat the Mu family after the death of the eldest lady of the Mu family. Thinking of it, "Where is the Northwest? What's going on in the Northwest?"

The informant was confused about this, so he had to look at Wen Hui, who had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Recently, for some reason, King Yi led troops to patrol every day, and the Ningqueyan clan did indeed send troops. He came to harass the border guards, but returned repeatedly, causing great damage to the troops and causing dissatisfaction among the courtiers in the Turkic court. Although Wuyimu Khan was young, he made his own decisions. Ning Queyan has the military power in her hands, and now she is helpless."

"Trash! They're all a bunch of trash!" Concubine An Xian couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the inkstone and smashed it on the ground, and everyone in the hall hurriedly knelt down. Frustrated repeatedly! What use are you for!"

"Madam, calm down."

Concubine An Xian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and it took a long time before she suppressed the anger in her heart, and then ordered: "Write to the Fourth Highness, restrain yourself recently, and also inform the family that the Mu family is coming so fiercely, please avoid it for the time being." Sharpness. Then I invite my elder brother to present the memorial, to participate in Su Qingwan's charm of His Majesty, and bring disaster to the court!"
