Domineering

The back kitchen was resting, it was pitch black, Qin'er stayed outside and locked the door, Zhong Shiyao slipped in with the palace lantern, but she tripped over something before taking a few steps in the door, she took a closer look at the palace lantern - lying on the ground It's really a butterfly.

Zhong Shiyao stretched out her hand to check Hu Die's breath, found that she was still alive, she let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called Qin'er in, and the two took turns to carry him to the cabinet.

Hu Die wakes up and sees Zhong Li again, kneeling on the ground, crying pear blossoms with rain.

"Your Excellency, be aware! Some villain must have drugged the subject, so that the subject passed out in the back kitchen...My lord! This villain must have a purpose in tricking the subject into the back kitchen. I am afraid it is to poison you... ..."

"This court will not wrong any innocent person. Since you said that someone poisoned this court, do you have evidence?"

"No... no."

Zhong Li was sullen: "How did this pavilion teach you?"

"My lord! I have only been in office for less than a day, and I have encountered such a strange thing... Wuwuwu... I am wronged..."

"It's late at night..." Zhong Li made a hissing gesture, Hu Die shut up in time, she was so scared that she couldn't stop sobbing on the spot.Seeing her in such distress, Zhong Li couldn't ask anything for a moment, so he waved his hand and ordered Qin'er to send her down, "The gate of the palace is closed, Mr. Hu can stay here for the time being, and he will go with this pavilion to pay his respects to His Majesty tomorrow morning."

After Qin'er led Hu Die out, Zhong Shiyao hurried forward to help Zhong Li lie down, and felt her pulse.

Zhong Li fell into deep thought: She wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted to harm her today, but what she didn't understand was who was saving her?What is the purpose of this benefactor using Hu Die to break this dream?

"Shiyao didn't notice, and actually caused the master to fall into witchcraft! Damn it!" Zhong Shiyao knelt down to plead guilty, Zhong Li didn't panic at all, but waved her hand, signaling her to get closer, "Come here...for the past half month, Your Majesty Who did you summon?"

The ministers isolated Zhong Li, and His Majesty's attitude towards the cabinet became more and more indifferent. In the past half a month, he had never stepped into the cabinet.

The internal servant will report His Majesty's itinerary to the cabinet every day. Zhong Shiyao has never noticed anything unusual about His Majesty, but since the master asked, she will explain it in detail without omitting any details.Thinking of the awkwardness between His Majesty and Master in the past few days, Zhong Shiyao couldn't figure it out: Could it be that His Majesty seems to be ignoring Master on the surface, but actually protects him secretly...

Zhong Shiyao hesitated to speak, but Zhong Li saw it: "If you have something to say, I forgive you for your innocence."

In order to open the way for His Majesty, the master has successively offended the Ji family and the two great families of the Wang family, causing brothers and sisters to turn against each other, and the officials to be isolated... As a result, the benefit of His Majesty is like changing a person. Being the laughing stock of the people in the palace, Zhong Shiyao considered for a moment, but still couldn't swallow such grievances.People's words are awesome, how does His Majesty treat Zhong Li differently from Di Xin back then?

"... Shi Yao is not worth it for the master."

"I knew you were wronged." Zhong Li raised his hand, signaling Zhong Shiyao to stand up, "Get up, the ground is cold."

"Master, you don't know something... Let's talk about the back kitchen. Shi Yao has long noticed that the cabinet's three meals a day are different. I just went to the back kitchen to confirm that we found out that half of our ingredients were withheld by the cook and kept for private use." Use. Master! A little cook dares to be so bold, where is the authority of the master? And those maids who sweep the floor in the courtyard, they have been gossiping for a day or two..."

Zhong Shiyao made a long-winded push, Zhong Li stopped her with a smile when she heard the end, "Shiyao, I'm not someone who covets glory and wealth, if you feel wronged by me, you can go back to Zhongfu at any time."

Shiyao shook her head again and again: "No, Shiyao was wronged for master!" Deep in her love, she casually folded Zhong Li's quilt, "Master was wronged in the previous dynasty, and he was wronged in Xishan, so he should be fine when he comes back Enjoy."

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that his words made sense, he laughed with a "puchi".

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"Silly Ayao, it is my blessing to be able to display my ambitions. As for Your Majesty, she is afraid that I will be favored too much and cause a disaster, so she deliberately alienates me. If you don't believe me, go and count tomorrow. Have the dragon patrols near the cabinet been more diligent in the past few days?"

Zhong Shiyao suddenly realized after Zhong Li's dialing: "So this Hu Die was sent by His Majesty!" I really can't tell, this Hu Die has a good way of pretending to be stupid, and almost deceived her too.

"No, she is not."

Zhong Li denied it flatly, and was also worried: "There are monsters tonight, and His Majesty just wants to save them, but he has no ability..."

On the other side of the wall, Hu Die's whole face was pressed against the wall, her eyes glowed with a smile, and her heart was full of joy: "Your Majesty dares to talk like this, you are indeed Mr. Zhong Li!"

Qin'er came back with the quilt in her arms, glanced at this sneaky behavior, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

Hu Die was startled by the "loud voice" behind her, and she hurriedly turned her face to apologize, while the hand close to the wall quickly stuffed the hidden beads back into the earhole.Qin'er had sharp eyes, saw her small movements, and didn't intend to spare her, "Ask you! What are you doing?" Qin'er threw the quilt on the ground and grabbed Hu Die's hand, but found nothing.

Hu Die pressed the patterns on the wall, and greeted her with a smile: "This is the first time I've come to the palace, and I've never seen such a beautiful wall, haha..." She laughed dryly, and suddenly changed the subject, "Sister Qin'er, your coat is so beautiful. It belongs to Mr. Zhong! Oh, my lord is so kind to my sister...Look at the fabric of this dress, look at the needlework, oh, it is golden silk that is hard to buy..." Hu Die grabbed Qin'er's sleeve corner and couldn't put it down, All of a sudden, Qin'er was at a loss, she didn't know what golden silk was, but she was inexplicably happy seeing Hu Die's envious look, "This is golden silk..." Qin'er touched the corner of her clothes, three points shy, seven points proudly Nodding his head, he put aside his suspicion of Hu Die just now, "Master Hu has such good eyesight, you can see all of this."

Hu Die fooled the past with a few words, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: I don't know what identity I wear and what clothes I wear!

Knowing that the palace walls are thick, Qin'er expected that Hu Die would hear nothing if she wanted to hear it, so she dispelled her doubts. She turned around and picked up the quilt on the ground, patted the ashes vigorously, and prepared to make Hu Die's bed again.

"Qin'er was rude, and Master Hu laughed."

"What are you talking about, my sister is so lovely, how can my sister blame her..." Hu Die greeted her with a smile, not only not caring about Qin'er's recklessness just now, but also calling Qin'er a sister, "Master Zhong can have Qin'er It's really enviable to have such a caring girl serving by your side."

Hu Die was not only envious, but also ignited a small flame of jealousy: Mr. Zhong Li is so generous, I will also ask for one some other day!

Qin'er smiled back, goosebumps all over her body under her fancy dress: Is this a compliment?Why does it sound so awkward?

The next day, at dawn, the guards of Guiluan Palace opened the gate of the palace while yawning, and were somewhat surprised to see a person standing outside the door.

In early summer, it's not so cold to get up early, and Zhong Shiyao can still stand for a while.

Murong got up fortunately, after washing up, he heard the maid come to report: "Cabinet chief Zhong Shiyao is asking to see you."

"Show her in."

Zhong Shiyao entered the Guiluan Hall, saluted all the way, greeted her well, she was so decent that no one could make a mistake, but when she saw Murong Xing, she was terrified and bowed directly.

"Chen Zhong Shiyao kowtowed to His Majesty, wishing His Majesty the Holy Body to be in good health and blessed to all generations to come."

There was something in the words, Murong Xing pushed away the hand of the maid who was holding her hair, looked at Zhong Shiyao who was still prostrating but did not get up, and frowned: "What's wrong with Zhong Li?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my master... seems to be bewitched..."

Falling out of favor in the cabinet is a small matter, but Zhong Li's evil is serious. Fortunately, Murong didn't dare to waste time, so he finished dressing in the morning ahead of schedule, and quickly followed Zhong Shiyao to the cabinet.

Zhong Li was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly. Murong Xing saw the purple color on her face from afar, and she was shocked: "What's going on?!" Zhong Shiyao couldn't answer, and called out to the side. He tried to wake Zhong Li up a few times, but got no response, so he knelt down to Murong Xing.

"Zhong Li?" Murong Xing sat in front of the couch and took Zhong Li's hand, both startled and frightened, "Wake up, I'm A Xing!"

Zhong Li frowned slightly, as if she had been struggling in a nightmare for a long time before she slowly opened a gap and saw Murong Xing, her dim eyes finally focused, before she heard anything, she sank into the darkness again.

The people around could hear clearly, what His Majesty said was "If anyone can find the person who cast the curse, he will be rewarded for his loneliness. If he can't find it, I will ask you all to be buried with Zhong Qing."

Murong Xing's face is not as good-looking as that of Zhong Li's. If she usually threatens other people's lives, Zhong Li will definitely stand up and plead for their lives, and in turn accuse her of being a "tyrant", which is not fair.

Murong Xing was distressed: Gu wanted to be fair, and this happened to you. Could it be that you are teasing Gu?

Zhong Li couldn't go to the court, but it saved him from being squeezed at the court, Murong Xing comforted her like this, and comforted himself, and hurriedly went to the court.

Returning to the cabinet again, the imperial doctor had already surrounded Zhong Li's bed, and Murong Xing noticed at a glance that there was an extra person who seemed not to appear at this time and place.Pale pink palace attire, butterflies spreading their wings at the corners of the skirt, black hair that is as smooth as silk, and a rather weak waist—I didn't expect that Hu Die, Yin of Yuefu, would come here faster than His Majesty's emperor.

Murong Xing couldn't help but feel confused: Was she in court just now?

In the same way, when Hu Die saw the "Miss Su" who was dressed in a golden dragon robe and surrounded by an overpowering aura, only Zhong Li on the bed knew how nervous she was.

Hu Die saluted and greeted her, and she recited her lines silently thousands of times in her heart, and recited them word for word. Coupled with her real acting skills, even though this matter is unimaginable, you have to believe it.

"Your Majesty, I know what happened to Mr. Zhong. Yesterday, His Majesty personally canonized the minister. I was very happy. I passed by the cabinet and wanted to pay my respects to Mr. Zhong. Who knows, Mr. Zhong didn't see it, but found this thing."

Qin'er brought something on a plate, wrapped it in silk, making it mysterious, Hu Die scanned the crowd, and slowly uncovered a corner, "Look, Your Majesty! Look, my lords, what is this?" Si In the silk, lay a piece of jet-black wood, with head and feet, "Isn't this the villain commonly used in the art of witchcraft!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was terrified: the art of witchcraft!It's a big taboo in the palace!

Murong Xing's expression turned serious, and he motioned for Qin'er to come forward on the spot.

"Your Majesty! Don't get close!" Gu Lan silently protected Murong Xing. Seeing this situation, she finally jumped out from an inconspicuous corner. She was lying between Qin'er and Murong Xing, with a sharp sword in her hand that could be unsheathed at any time. "This subordinate will kill this thing!"

"No!" Murong Xing waved his big sleeves and clasped Gu Lan's shoulders. Gu Lan paused, "If this is an evil thing that harms Zhong Qing, if you hurt it, you will hurt Zhong Li. It must not be done. !"

Hu Die was terrified by Gu Lan's sword, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it must."

The sword light returned to its sheath, and the idlers also retreated.

Qin'er regretted her life, and stood far away with the "little man", Hu Die turned her face and found that there was no help, and her heart became more and more uncertain.Seeing that she had forgotten her words, Zhong Shiyao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, strange things have happened frequently in the cabinet in recent days, maybe this evil thing is responsible for it... Where did Master Hu find this thing in the cabinet? And how did he find it?" Woolen cloth?"
