Uneasy

The prisoner also went to eat.The two walked in swaggeringly.

An Lu took Chuntao to the place agreed with Dongzhu, and saw Osmanthus fragrans at a glance.She secretly praised Dongzhu for his reliability.

"I don't know, maybe everyone in the inner courtyard went to eat. Then, the steward felt that we had done this job before, so he let us run errands." An Lu tentatively said.

"I'm afraid the manager may have misremembered it." Chuntao was puzzled.

"I guess I misremembered you, but I was indeed ordered by the steward before."

"No wonder you know the way." Her words dispelled Chuntao's doubts just now.

An Lu took Chuntao to the place where the sweet-scented osmanthus was drying, and saw the previous maid again.

"Hey, you're here again." Sister Qing said in surprise.

"correct."

"By the way, have you found your sister?" Sister Qing started talking with An Lu.

And Chuntao, who was on the side, was still in a hurry to eat, and left when she saw that she had nothing to do.

"No." An Lu felt ashamed, where would you tell her to find this out-of-the-box sister?

Sister Qing didn't hold on to this question either, instead she asked curiously

"Why are there two people here this time?"

"Chuntao doesn't know the way, so the steward asked us to come together." An Lu said.

"Impossible. The new face I told you about last time is her." Sister Qing said firmly.

"Maybe it's because she has a lot of forgetfulness." An Lu didn't show curiosity again, and quickly skipped this topic.At the end of the meal, An Lu happily left.

"Damn it, why do I always have diarrhea in the recent meals." The maid who originally belonged to this position came over cursing.

Sister Qing blushed, she didn't make it for the children.

"Thank you very much, Sister Qing." The maid saw Sister Qing and expressed her gratitude again.

"Oh, you're welcome." Sister Qing said cheekily.

Perhaps it turned out to be too easy, when An Lu went back, the relaxed expression on his face was gone, replaced by the heaviness of five days ago.

"Xiaolu, is that maid not here?" Dongzhu asked doubtfully.

"No. The court lady said that she is the face from before." An Lu said.

"Since the conclusion has been reached, why are you still depressed?" Dongzhu was really puzzled now.

"I just don't think it's safe. What if we think wrongly, what if the poisoning place is in the delicacy room? What if..." An Lu thought worse and worse, wishing to overthrow all the previous conclusions.

Dong Zhu: "..." Do you think you can do it so easily without the help of the master, Dong Zhu shouted in his heart.But she couldn't say that.

"Xiaolu, you are stunned."

An Lu looked at Dong Zhu suspiciously.

"Since you have come to a conclusion, why do you keep denying yourself?"

"I, I think the result comes too easily, and I always feel that it's unrealistic." An Lu murmured.

"The truth is often not that complicated. It's you who got yourself involved. And, Xiaolu, don't deny yourself. In the past four days, you have been worried all day long for the investigation, and you have given yourself a cold. How could you Do you think the result came too easily?"

"I, maybe I really overthink it." An Lu frowned, she felt that it was too easy for her to get the clues, just like finishing a puzzle game by herself and buying tips with krypton gold.

She just didn't know that this was a novice tip sent by the game official to attract her to continue buying.

"Don't think too much, anyway, we will see the result tomorrow."

"Yes."

Fengqi Palace...

"Miss, An Lu has found the murderer."

"It's not too stupid, it's considered revenge for myself." Bu Qinyan murmured to herself.

"What does that miss mean?" Xia Shuang was stunned by Bu Qinyan's capriciousness. According to what the miss said before, when she came to return to her life, she took the opportunity to leave him behind.But listening to the meaning of today's words, it seems that there is still a test.

"Let's see if she can help Ben Gong make a seat in the delicacy room."

"Miss, what are you?!" Xia Shuang felt that Miss was trying to force others to do something difficult. With An Lu's status, it would not be easy for her to pull down one of the junior stewards, let alone the four chief stewards of the delicacy.After all, according to the investigation data, An Luqing is innocent and has no influence at all.

"Maybe she can surprise Bengong."

"..." Xia Shuang wanted to know where the lady's intuition came from, but since the lady said yes, it should be fine.

"Miss, what position does An Lu come to Fengqi Palace to arrange?"

"It's not that you didn't like her before, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

"Your maidservant is prepared for any danger." Xia Shuang thought in her heart: Isn't this what you mean, Miss?

"The small kitchen in this palace has been abandoned for a long time, and I have to find a day to talk to the Holy Majesty."

"The servant knows."

The author has something to say:

Miserable data! QAQ!

7. Meet again

"Your Majesty, there is a palace lady named An Lu asking to see you outside the door." At this time, a palace lady reported outside the door.

"Let her in." Xia Shuang quickly replied after receiving Bu Qinyan's signal.

"Yes."

After a while, An Lu was led in.After seeing the queen, An Lu saluted immediately.

"Today is already the fifth day. Did you find the murderer?" Bu Qinyan said.

"Yes." An Lu swallowed, feeling nervous again.

Then, she explained in detail what happened to her in the past four days.Finally, concluded

"The servant thinks that Chuntao's sneaky whereabouts are the most suspicious, and she is also the chief culprit of poisoning."

"How did you confirm that she poisoned the sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"In order to find clues, the servants went around the delicacy room. During the food production process, it is almost impossible to get close to the food. If it is said that the chef who made the pastry did it, they themselves would not be able to get rid of the suspicion. The servants feel that the murderer is not I will not choose to trade my life for my life; the rest can only start from the raw materials, and some slaves just found out the clue when the sweet-scented osmanthus was drying, so the slaves took a gamble."

"Oh? This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is Ben Gong's meal. Ben Gong thinks that the cook made money by exchanging his life for Ben Gong."

An Lu disagreed with the queen's statement, and the concept of equality for everyone had already taken root in her mind.Therefore, after hearing the queen's words, she frowned subconsciously, and then said:

"The empress is naturally the body of a thousand gold. However, the meals of the empress will be checked in advance. The cook chose to poison not the empress, but the person who gave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. If this is the case, it is worthless to exchange your life for a life."

"The deduction is reasonable, let's just pass the test." Bu Qinyan actually already knew who the murderer was, and just wanted to see An Lu's reaction ability.However, Bu Qinyan caught An Lu's fleeting disapproval of her words just now.

This person is getting more and more interesting.

"My servant thanked the lady." An Lu said happily.

"Don't be too busy thanking me. Just now you said that you falsely passed on the manager's order. The debt has not yet been settled." Bu Qinyan changed the subject and her tone became unfriendly.

"Ma'am, this is also an expedient measure." An Lu said with a bitter face.

"It's not impossible to make up for the mistakes." Bu Qinyan made a trick on purpose.

"The empress made it clear." An Lu said immediately, looking at the empress with piercing eyes.

"The weather is hot recently. I haven't had a bowl of lotus seed soup for a long time. I miss it very much." Bu Qinyan looked away unnaturally.

"This servant can cook." An Lu's eyes lit up, she was still good at cooking.

"Really?" Buqinyan said in surprise.

"Yes, it's just that the servants don't have kitchen utensils on hand." An Lu wondered.

At this time, Xia Shuang stepped forward and gave her a token, confessing:

"With this, you can use the kitchen utensils in the delicacy room. The empress is anxiously waiting for the lotus seed porridge, so don't waste the time."

"Yes, the servant will leave." An Lu didn't dare to waste time, and returned to the delicacy room without stopping.After checking the authenticity of the token, An Lu was released.

"Angkor, watch first, my stomach hurts." A eunuch said.

"Okay, take it easy."

An Lu found the lotus seeds, longan and jujube prepared in the delicacy room.The lotus seeds have been soaked, and the skins and cores have been peeled, which saves An Lu a lot of effort.Put them all into the pot, and added some rock sugar.After adding water, boil for a quarter of an hour.During the period, she asked the little eunuch to help her find some lotus root powder and make them into paste.Then, ask the eunuch to add more firewood, increase the firepower, and continue cooking.And An Lu scooped up the froth on it.When the color of the soup became cloudy, she fished out the jujubes inside.Take out the cooked lotus seed soup, take about four or five bowls and pour it into another pot.Replace the original pot, add the lotus root powder paste to the lotus seed soup, and stir evenly.When it boils again, put the lotus seed soup into the white porcelain pot, then take out another bowl, and put it on the tray together with the white porcelain pot.

After finishing the work, An Lu returned to Fengqi Palace with freshly baked lotus seed soup.With the token, An Lu can enter Fengqi Palace smoothly without notification.

He raised the tray above his head, and soon a little maid took it and put it in front of Bu Qinyan.She didn't really want to eat lotus seed soup.However, after a few sips, she found that the lotus seed soup was different from the usual ones, which aroused Bu Qinyan's curiosity, so she asked.

"The maidservant added some lotus root powder in it to enhance the taste." An Lu thought for a while and replied. When the lotus seed soup was made just now, the little eunuch had a curious expression when he saw her take the lotus root powder, but he held back and didn't say anything.

"It's really good. You've made up for it, so let's step down."

"Your servant will leave." An Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally escaped.

"Invite Your Majesty here." Bu Qinyan ordered.

Xia Shuang didn't know why, so she went to report.Despite his reluctance, Guo Shaojun came to Fengqi Palace.

"I have personally met the Holy One."

"Pingshen, why is the empress looking for me urgently?"

"It's not a matter of urgency. The weather is hot recently, and I just made some lotus seed soup. Thinking about the Holy Majesty's work on state affairs, the palace is stuffy. This lotus seed soup can also relieve the heat."

"Oh? I want to taste the soup made by the queen."

The two walked in after talking, and there were already two bowls of lotus seed soup neatly placed on the table.After Guo Shaojun finished eating, Bu Qinyan couldn't wait to ask

"Your Majesty, how does it taste?" He looked like he was expecting a compliment.

The corners of Guo Shaojun's eyes twitched, he was courteous for nothing, raped or stolen.However, this lotus seed soup does have its special place.

"The queen's cooking is very good, but I have only eaten it once in three years, which is a pity."

"It's as long as the Holy Majesty likes it. It's not that I don't want to do it for the Holy Majesty, it's just that the concubine is powerless." Bu Qinyan sighed

"What does the queen say?"

"Naturally, I really want to wash my hands and make soup for the sage. However, every time I go to the delicacy room, the palace servants have to stop their work and stare at me for fear of knocking me. This delays the delicacy Not to mention Fang's work; I don't feel comfortable being stared at, and this happened several times, so I stopped thinking about it."

After listening to her talk, Guo Shaojun understood her purpose.I also remembered the recent poisoning incident of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and I always had to use something to stop someone's mouth.Isn't it just a small kitchen, and it won't hurt you if you approve it.

"The queen has a heart. This is also because I didn't think carefully. From now on, I will order people to renovate the dining room."

"Thank you as a concubine." Bu Qinyan saluted immediately.

After the osmanthus cake turmoil passed, Chuntao quickly disappeared inexplicably.It's a pity that An Lu's good life did not last for two days, because she was targeted by the steward of the delicacy room.The first is the scheduling - for a month in a row, An Lu was arranged to deliver breakfast, which meant that she needed to get up very early; lunch was nothing to her, but she was arranged at the most vicious time of the sun." Standing guard"; at night, she needs to be on duty, that is, staying in the delicacy room until the curfew to prevent the nobles from wanting to eat during the period.Then there is the deduction of food. Although it is all porridge with steamed buns, the normal porridge has become almost like water; the size of steamed buns is also greatly reduced.He couldn't get enough to eat, and was maliciously deducted, An Lu couldn't stand it even if he was an iron man.Therefore, she inevitably focused on the leftovers of the nobles.However, when she was discovered again, the steward did not ignore her, but directly used her to kill the chicken and the monkey.At this time, An Lu was lying on the bed with his butt pouted, moaning.

"Why are you so careless! Although stealing food is a tacit secret, it is not allowed on the surface." Dong Zhu said while giving medicine to people.

"I was also dizzy from hunger. In addition, I was not punished after being discovered before, so I inevitably became a little anxious." An Lu wrinkled his face.

"You are being targeted." Dongzhu frowned.

"I know. I just want to be a court lady and I will leave the palace in a year. Why do you come to me in waves." An Lu's tone was deeply powerless and frustrated.

"Last time I heard that you went to the delicacy room to cook?"

"That's right, the Empress asked me to make up for my mistakes." An Lu told Dongzhu the ins and outs of the incident.

"Aww..." Dongzhu was thinking deeply, not paying attention to the strength in his hand, and An Lu cried out in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dongzhu quickly let go of his strength.

"It's okay. What is Dongzhu asking this for?"

"Hey, the empress is forcing you." Dongzhu sighed and analyzed it carefully.

"She asked you to come to the delicacy room with the badge of Fengqi Palace, which is tantamount to telling the people in the delicacy room that you belong to her. According to my understanding, the management of the outer court is not the queen's empress. Who is it not aimed at you?"

"I... the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop." An Lu sighed.

"I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult." Dong Zhu glanced at An Lu's colorful buttocks.

"It's okay, I can leave in a year."

Soon, An Lu was not optimistic.The next day, she needs to be on duty as usual.Standing with fresh wounds on his face is torture.In addition, the ladies in the court also watch people order food, and An Lu's life is even more difficult.

Fengqi Palace...

"Has An Lu made any moves recently?" Bu Qinyan didn't know why she paid so much attention to that little palace lady, perhaps it was because what happened to her was too strange.

Xia Shuang had already prepared her speech. Recently, the lady often asked about An Lu.So she didn't dare to slack off.

"No, she seems to want to swallow her anger. Make plans in a year."

"Oh, it's impossible to want to leave. I have to add fire to her." Bu Qinyan sneered, such a strange person appeared under her nose, how can she just leave.

Listening to the gong of the curfew outside the door, Dongzhu thought that An Lu should be back.As a result, after waiting for a while, the door was still tightly closed.

"Perhaps An Lu was injured and it was inconvenient to walk, so he was a little later than usual." Dongzhu murmured to comfort himself.

8 ,

The sound of the curfew gong is undoubtedly the sound of nature to An Lu—it liberated her legs that had been tortured for a day.When she reached the residence, two nuns and a court lady came out suddenly.Just when An Lu was puzzled, the two nuns pushed him to his knees without saying a word.An Lu struggled hard, but the hands of the two nuns were extremely strong, except for the surprise at the beginning, they hardly moved at all.

"It's curfew time, An Lu, you haven't returned to your residence yet. What's the plan?" the maid said sharply.

An Lu: "..."

She's not a fool, she knew that she was here to find fault when she saw this posture.How could it be such a coincidence that I ran into the maid in charge just after I came back.According to the regulations of the delicacy room, the night watch maid can only come back when she hears the gong of the curfew.She doesn't have fast legs, so how could she appear in her room at the next moment of curfew.Moreover, it is impossible for the patrolling people to appear at the same time as the curfew gong sounds!

The expected revenge did not appear, and the maid was a little embarrassed for a while.After all, the surroundings were quiet, and the two nuns didn't say a word, she seemed to be singing a one-man show.And An Lu had seen through the essence of this conspiracy, so he didn't bother to defend himself, so as not to give her another hat for talking back.

"Oh, it seems that you have pleaded guilty." The palace maid said bravely.

"Take it to the Execution Department. If it's a first-time offender, you'll be beaten ten times." After the maid finished speaking, she left as if she had completed her task, and the two nuns dutifully dragged An Lu to the Execution Department.

On the way, An Lu didn't struggle too much, and arrived at the Execution Division with incredible smoothness.Maybe An Lu didn't cause trouble for them on the way, and the two nuns didn't make things difficult.Even so, new injuries piled up with old ones, An Lu almost forced his will to return to his residence.

Fortunately, no one jumped out to say that he couldn't go back to the room due to curfew, An Lu thought to himself mockingly.

"Little deer?" Dong Zhu couldn't believe it.

An Lu only had time to tell that it was Dongzhu's voice, and he couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.Thanks to Dongzhu's quick eyesight and quick hands, he caught An Lu when she came into close contact with the ground.It's just that as soon as she touched An Lu's body, she felt her abnormal body temperature.

She helped him onto the bed, but just as An Lu touched the bed, his body trembled reflexively.Dongzhu thought of the injury on An Lu's buttocks.Turning the person over, Dongzhu gasped, and An Lu's buttocks were scarlet.The same ten boards, this power is very different.

Because after the curfew, Dongzhu didn't light the lamp, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, but fortunately, her eyesight is much better than ordinary people because of her martial arts practice.Carefully taking off An Lu's pants, the swollen wounds were all torn open and blood oozes out.

"Sister Dongzhu." After being tossed for so long, An Lu woke up leisurely and called out in a low voice.

"You don't talk yet."

An Lu shut up obediently.When applying the medicine, she pulled the quilt and bit it tightly to prevent Dongzhu from screaming.

"Why did it happen again?" Dong Zhu noticed An Lu's small movements, so he wanted to divert her attention.

"Create something out of nothing." An Lu spat out four words.

"If this continues, let alone a year, you will either be dead or disabled in a month." Dong Zhu took the opportunity to say.

"Maybe my life is hard." An Lu joked, she looked like she was going to continue to swallow her anger.

"It's up to you." Dong Zhu hated iron for not being steel.

An Lu was bitter, she really didn't want to sink herself deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the palace.If they were bullied for a period of time, they would find that the empress did not value them very much, and they might be able to let themselves go.If he completely stood in the queen's camp, he would be truly imprisoned by the cage of the imperial palace.

However, An Lu was still too young.In order not to be caught by the palace maid again, An Lu reckoned the time, and started to rush back a quarter of an hour before the curfew.Anyway, she didn't keep vigil once a month. It's not unnecessary. She tried to leave early for a few days without any accidents, so An Lu felt relieved.

Huarong Palace…

"Why is the queen sister interested in coming to my sister's palace?" Concubine Zhang was surprised by Bu Qinyan's sudden visit, and responded with all her spirit.Concubine Zhang Guifei was extremely uncomfortable with the elder sister who said this, because she was already the mother of a child.Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth against Bu Qinyan even more.The queen's seat should have been hers, who knew that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway.

"Sister, don't be nervous. I'm here to connect with my sister." Bu Qinyan smiled.

Zhang Guifei's heart: I have a woolly relationship with you.

And when she saw Buqin Yan smiling, she felt like being played.

"Haha, so you and my sister haven't chatted for a long time. The Empress really knows how to pick her time." Although she raised her guard to the full level in her heart, she still said hypocritically.

The two started a "pleasant" chat in an extremely awkward atmosphere.Concubine Zhang Gui didn't know what kind of trouble Bu Qinyan had taken, she was determined to rely on her now and would not leave.

"After chatting for so long, I'm a little hungry. How about you, sister?" Bu Qinyan said intentionally, estimating the time.

"Ha, no matter what my sister said, my sister also felt the same way." Concubine Zhang Gui accompanied her with a smile.

Bu Qinyan pursed her lips and took a sip of tea.If it weren't for the fact that this is the imperial concubine's palace, her action would be to see off the guests.

What a turn-off.Concubine Zhang was so angry that her teeth were itching, but Bu Qinyan wanted to eat, so she couldn't remain indifferent.

"Xiao Cui."

"Your Majesty." The maid serving at the side hurried forward.

"Go to the delicacy room to get some pastries, the queen sister and this palace are a little hungry."

"Yes."

After a cup of tea, Xiaocui came back.Accompanied by the sound of a curfew, Xiaocui was empty-handed and looked a little unhappy.After seeing the two masters, Xiaocui knelt down and apologized:

"There is no one on duty in the delicacy room. The servant did not get the pastry. Please punish me."

Concubine Zhang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, the dignified concubine couldn't even get a piece of pastry, isn't this slapping her in the face?

"Which lowly servant girl is on duty today, and is there any rules!"

"Cough." Bu Qinyan coughed lightly.

Zhang Guifei's arrogance disappeared, but she still said angrily:

"Sister Empress, this person is so unruly. This is not taking you seriously!"

"I just heard the gong of the curfew. It is reasonable for this delicacy room to stop serving meals. My sister vented her anger."

"Xiaocui, did the gong sound when you arrived at the delicacy room?"

"Never."

"That's why the palace man has left his post without authorization."

"That's all, this palace is also a whim. The concubine sister should not embarrass her, and it's curfew, so this palace should go back." After Bu Qinyan finished speaking, Shi Shi ran away.

"Check, who is on duty tonight!"

"Yes."

"Which of you is An Lu?" The eunuch's shrill voice sounded outside the delicacy room early in the morning.

Soon, An Lu was pushed out.

"Slaves are." An Lu saluted, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"You were the one who kept watch yesterday?"

"This month is a night watch for slaves and servants."

"That's right. Take it!"

An Lu: "?!"

"My lord, I don't know what crime the servant has committed?" An Lu struggled desperately.

"Heh, you are not guilty of leaving your post without authorization and neglecting the empress and the imperial concubine?" the eunuch sternly said.

"I didn't!" An Lu subconsciously said.

"Bold, this is the place for you to play tricks in this palace. Slap your mouth!"

"Crack, crack, crack..." The eunuch stopped after a dozen slaps, and An Lu also calmed down.Think of the reasons and such coincidences that led to my early departure.She was plotted again, and she was still a serial plotter.I don't know if the person behind this scene is the same person?Why would she/he do this.

"Execution!"

Then, An Lu was pushed to the ground, and the two eunuchs smashed down with thick wooden sticks indiscriminately, looking like they wanted to beat people to death with sticks.

"The empress is here!" Just as An Lu was in a daze, the magnificent phoenix chariot in the distance just arrived, which also prevented the tragedy from happening.And Dong Zhu, who had just slipped away in the chaos, returned to the team again.

"Slave/slave, see the empress!" The palace people saluted together, and the eunuch holding the staff also stopped moving.

"What's going on here?" Bu Qinyan seemed to have no idea.

"Reporting to Empress Empress, this lowly servant girl left her post without authorization yesterday and neglected Empress Empress and Imperial Concubine Empress. Now our family has obtained the order of Imperial Concubine Empress and executed this lowly maidservant." The supervising eunuch flattered.

"I already said yesterday that I will not pursue it." Bu Qinyan took a look at the eunuch, she was indeed from the imperial concubine's palace.There was no joy or anger in her tone.

"Uh, this. Our family also follows..." the eunuch was a little embarrassed and subconsciously said.

"Could it be that the eunuch Yizhi of this palace won't listen to it!" Bu Qinyan immediately got angry.

"I don't dare, I don't dare." The eunuch repeatedly begged for mercy, knocking his forehead on the ground, making a dull voice.

"Why are you still sticking around, don't obstruct your mother's eyes." Xia Shuang said.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only An Lu and the queen's entourage who had passed out.

"Go back to the palace." Bu Qinyan ordered.

"Miss, this..." Xia Shuang hesitated to speak.

"Too ignorant, always teach her some lessons."

Seeing the queen leave, Dong Zhu hurriedly carried her on his back, and quickly returned to the dormitory.

"You have to suffer, hey!"

Seeing that An Lu was called out, Dongzhu knew that the visitor was not kind, and Dongzhu became anxious immediately after hearing the accusation against An Lu by the eunuch.It is not an exaggeration to kill people for such a crime.So, taking advantage of no one's attention, Dongzhu broke away from the crowd and wanted to go to Fengqi Palace to find the queen.Halfway there, she saw the queen's carriage. At that time, she didn't think so much and gave the token of identity to the eunuch who opened the way.After that, the queen came.

Just now she heard the queen's last words with the tips of her ears, and there was something she didn't understand.In order to save An Lu from suffering, Dong Zhu decided to continue persuading her.

The author has something to say:

I don't care if there is no distinction between "of" and "place".

9. To add insult to injury

Not surprisingly, this punishment made An Lu's situation worse.With just one day's rest, she was forced to "destroy" her post, and her duty time remained unchanged.Even a fool could feel this blatant targeting, which isolated An Lu, including Dong Zhu, who calmly reduced his contact with An Lu.

The so-called not breaking out in silence, is dying in silence.Clay figurines are very angry, let alone An Lu.Reality slapped An Lu several times, telling her that if she didn't climb up in the palace, she would only die.What's more, it is the biggest one in the harem who is now forcing her to go to Liangshan.

"Boss, isn't your porridge too watery?" An Lu took the "porridge" in the bowl that was comparable to white water and challenged the steward who distributed the food.This person's name is Zhang Li, and her cousin is the chief steward of the court ladies and not the queen, so her attitude towards An Luda will naturally not be very good.

"Huh? A servant is still here to pick and choose?" Zhang Li sneered.

"Zhang Li! You are deceiving people too much!" Long-term oppression is like magma clogging a volcano, constantly increasing the pressure on the volcano that is about to erupt. When the pressure reaches a limit, the volcano will break through the barrier and erupt completely - just like the Ann deer.

She splashed the steaming porridge on Zhang Li's face. Since the two were facing each other, and the distance was extremely close, Zhang Li had time to avoid it.From the side of the neck to the front of the chest, though, not so lucky.Although the porridge was watery, it was still hot, and Zhang Li's exposed neck skin turned red all of a sudden.Presumably the skin wrapped under the fabric will be exactly the same "ruddy".

"Ah!" Zhang Li screamed, subconsciously covering the burnt part, staring at An Lu as if she wanted to scratch her to death with his eyes.

"Catch this low-ranking slut!" Zhang Li's sharp voice seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums.

As soon as the words fell, several maids rushed up and grabbed An Lu, and forced her to the ground.

"What's going on?" At this time, Zhang Jie, the steward of the outer court, received the news, and it was long overdue.

"Master in charge." Everyone saluted, and then some people who wanted to please narrated the matter once.It goes without saying that An Lu's disrespect is exaggerated, and Zhang Li's domineeringness is reduced.

"You're so brave, you deserve to be the one who neglects the imperial concubine and empress." Zhang Jie sneered.

An Lu was facing the ground at this time, unable to make a sound at all.

"How can a person like you who has no rules deserve to serve the nobles?"

"From now on, I will be relegated to the outer court for transportation, and I will be fined fifteen more boards." Zhang Jie announced coldly, this is a punishment that goes along with the flow, so naturally there is no half-moment hesitation.

The porter in the outer courtyard is the most difficult position in the delicacy room, and is responsible for transporting the ingredients purchased from outside the palace every day.It is usually the work of eunuchs, after all, their strength is always greater than that of court ladies.Even if it is the steward of the outer courtyard, in front of the general palace people in the outer courtyard, they are at most on an equal footing. If they meet someone with a background like Xiang Zhangli, they will try to please them in turn.The status of the rest of the palace servants who work in the outer courtyard can be seen.

In the dead of night, An Lu, who had been kicked out, was lying on the bed that could be compared to a stone slab, humming and moaning with his bloody buttocks on his head, destroying the tranquility of the night.

"Little Lu, you don't have to act so vigorously." Dong Zhu said while administering medicine to An Lu with ease.

"I'm stupid, this method is the most effective and can hit the nail on the head." An Lu said, no matter who finds out that he has been cheated of a sum of money, he will never tolerate the perpetrator, let alone this person is the emperor ?

"You're killing one thousand enemies, and you're hurting yourself by eight hundred." Dongzhu said unhappily, she shouldn't have softened her heart and agreed to her hurtful move back then.

"You get used to it after playing too much. I also heard a story about a person who was hit by the board too many times and a layer of calluses grew on his buttocks. "An Lu said with certainty, as if there was something to be said.

"Nonsense, who did you listen to?" Dong Zhu couldn't laugh or cry.

"That's not necessarily true. I don't feel as painful as the previous few times." An Lusha said matter-of-factly.

"Ow!"

Then, under Dongzhu's secret effort, a heart-piercing howl came from the dormitory of the transportation department, forming a very penetrating sound wave, which shocked the creatures within a mile without the slightest sleepiness .

"Sister Dongzhu, I was wrong!" An Lu immediately admitted, nonsense, her respect is still in the hands of others, how dare she not admit her mistake.

"Be merciful!"

"You continue to die." Dongzhu learned and used the vocabulary taught by An Lu.

"No, no." An Lu begged for mercy, "Sister Dongzhu, you should go back first, or it will be bad if someone finds out."

"You have to be careful, don't die here before the day comes." Dongzhu said worriedly, "I won't collect the corpse for you." Finally, in order to put pressure on An Lu, he left A threat.

"Don't worry, I must be alive and kicking, maybe I can develop some strength." An Lu said relaxedly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Zhu left.

Looking at Dongzhu's leaving back, An Lu's thoughts were pulled back to January, the night when she was almost beaten to death.

The last memory stays in the high-pitched "The empress is here!" An Lu fell into a coma completely, somehow subconsciously, An Lu felt that she would be safe when the queen came.The result was indeed the case. After Dongzhu's description, the queen only used a few words to pull her back from the gate of hell.At the same time, it is impossible to erase the imprint of the empress on her body.She, An Lu, has the mark of Fengqi Palace ever since.

The idea that was shaken by Dongzhu's repeated persuasion was completely shattered. Now that he has become a pawn in the palace, he should be the soldier closest to the general, not the first soldier to be abandoned.

In the future, An Lu will not only be a soldier, but also a man who will fight for the general.

In the blink of an eye, An Lu stayed in the moving department for three months.Maybe because she was the only court lady, the eunuchs in the portering department took good care of her.The goods left for her were generally not very heavy, and gave her a great deal of freedom.For example, when handing over the ingredients, An Lu sneaked out to talk to the farmer who delivered the food, and the eunuch in charge ignored him.An Lu is also extremely well-behaved, and will consciously go back when the two parties have reached a similar level.Hands will also help carry some ingredients.

The only fly in the ointment is the problem of board and lodging. After all, the living conditions in the moving department are not generally bad.And in order to avoid suspicion, Dong Zhu never took the risk of looking for An Lu after he was sure that she was completely stable, let alone "smuggled" some food over for her.

"Girl!" A kind voice came.

"Hey, grandma." An Lu greeted the kind old woman familiarly.This is a farm that specially delivers vegetables to the palace. Under An Lu's deliberate win over, she has a good relationship with this old woman.

"Grandma, why didn't grandpa come here today?" An Lu was a little curious. Normally, two couples would come to deliver food together. I don't know why only grandma came here this time, so I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"He, he went to the market yesterday, and when he came back, he met the old man Zhang from the village and had a drink. As a result, he is drunk at home now, and the royal errand can't be delayed. No, it's just Grandma, I'll go there by myself." Grandma Li didn't hide anything, she told the whole story.

"Grandpa is here
