Murong Jing asked this question suddenly, Leng Xi didn't react for a while, and knelt on the ground and wept softly. Murong Jing was disturbed by hearing this, and couldn't help but sternly said: "Say it quickly! Did you use those beauty creams?" Is it?"

Leng Xi seemed to be frightened by him, so he stopped sobbing immediately, and replied in a trembling voice after a while: "Use it, use it a little bit, I thought this was the wish of the concubine Xian, and it was also for the sake of my wife, so I just... ..."

Leng Xi was still sobbing and talking on the ground, but Murong Jing's expression at this moment completely changed!

"Leng Xi, you..." Murong Jing's expression was extremely complicated, as if he was trying to endure something - but what could happen?Is there anything that can make this high and mighty emperor hold back and say nothing?

"emperor?"

"..." Murong Jing just stared at Leng Xi with secretive eyes, and the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard for a while.It wasn't until the hourglass passing by in the corner of the room clicked that he heard a long sigh, frowned, and ordered in a deep voice: "Show me, go back to the palace."

After Murong Jing left for a long time, Yan Ran found that her master was still kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help being horrified, thinking that the master was frightened by the emperor, so she quickly walked over.

But before she approached, she heard the person kneeling on the ground suddenly sneering coldly. The laughter couldn't be described as ferocious, but it made people feel uneasy just by hearing it, as if there was something they couldn't see. The intangible and terrifying things are about to emerge.

Yan Ran was taken aback, a little at a loss, but Leng Xi quickly suppressed her smile, stood up on her own, sat down comfortably against the beauty, stretched out her hands and slowly rubbed her knees.

Yan Ran hurried over to help him beat his leg, "Ma'am, you..."

"Hey? What are you doing here?" Leng Xi seemed to have just noticed Yan Ran, looked at her in surprise, and said, "Go and clean up the soup on the table, someone will come and get it later."

"what?"

"You girl", Leng Xi frowned and smiled, tapped the desktop, and urged: "Why, don't you believe what I say?"

Yan Ran denied it repeatedly, although she was still confused, she still packed the bird's nest in soup very quickly, blinking her eyes and waiting for Leng Xi's next instruction.

"You..." Seeing her like that, Leng Xi burst out laughing, and before he could explain, Cuiyu's voice came from outside the door.

"Ma'am, Eunuch Zhang is here."

Suddenly Yanran seemed to think of something, she couldn't help but looked up in surprise, and happened to meet Leng Xi's calm eyes, but Leng Xi quickly averted her gaze, and said loudly, "Please."

After Zhang Kang entered the room, he called Leng Xi first, and said with a smile: "Madam, the emperor ordered the servants to take back the bird's nest soup you made."

Leng Xi raised his eyes and frowned in confusion, Zhang Kang hurriedly said: "The emperor is really in a hurry, so I won't stay with you for dinner, but the emperor is very concerned about the bird's nest you made these days. , I really like it so much, I even praised Niangniang for her ingenuity, no, when Long Live Lord remembered halfway, he called the servants to come and invite her."

"My lord's praise", Leng Xi smiled very modestly when he heard the words, and while raising his hand to signal Yan Ran to get the food box, he smiled and said to Zhang Kang: "I am not talented, and I can only do things that I can't do." The soup, soup, water, the emperor does not dislike it, it is the blessing of this palace, how can I stand such a compliment?"

Of course Zhang Kang knew that Leng Xi was being polite, so he quickly said something smart, took the food box and went back to his command.

After Zhang Kang left, Yan Ran looked at Leng Xi with disbelief, her expression was as surprised as she wanted, she almost knelt down and worshiped him.

"I know what you want to ask." Leng Xi glanced at Yan Ran with a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly: "I just want to say one thing: don't forget, the bird's nest soup was made with the tonic that the concubine Xian gave you." I did it, and the emperor is actually the most suspicious and fearful person in the world..."

Yan Ran trembled when she heard the words, and trembled a little after a while before saying: "Then, is that..."

She really wanted to ask—is there really something wrong with the concubine Xian's gift; she also really wanted to ask, if there was something really wrong, would the emperor take his anger out on you, but she couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry." Leng Xi raised his eyes knowingly, stared at her panicked eyes, and said, "I never fight unprepared, go, call Cuiyu in, I have something to tell her."

When Leng Xi said these words, he didn't use "Bengong" which symbolizes his identity, but instead used "I" which he used to in Leng's house. This is undoubtedly a disguised form to comfort Yanran not to worry.

"Niang Niang", when Cuiyu came in, Leng Xi was standing in front of the table where the dahlia had just been placed, with his hands behind his back.

Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, quickly made a blessing, and said cautiously: "Are you looking for a slave?"

Leng Xi turned around, still with a calm and gentle expression on his face, he bent his eyebrows and smiled, and said leisurely, "Where is that pot of dahlias now?"

"Ah?" Cuiyu obviously didn't expect Leng Xi to ask her this, and she couldn't help being startled, but she was the female official in charge after all, so she quickly replied calmly: "The slave has already been sent down to clean up, and it should be ready to be buried now. "

Leng Xi nodded, his slender fingers slowly slid across the clean mahogany tabletop, but he didn't speak.

Cuiyu waited on the side, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment - she actually wanted to remind Lengxi Palace that dahlias are forbidden in the morning.

Leng Xi is a newly-promoted concubine, and there are many ways in the palace. It is impossible to know too much in a short period of time, but Cuiyu is different. She has stayed in the harem for ten years, and now she is the female official in charge of the entire Jade Palace. , How could it be possible not to know that dahlias are banned in the palace!

The reason why she didn't speak at that time was entirely because of Leng Xi's eyes at that time - she found it incredible when she thought about it afterwards, how could such a seemingly weak child have such eyes?

It is so deep, deep, cold, and quiet, like a dense ancient well, in which there are endless dangers hidden, making people shudder just by looking at it.

Cuiyu didn't think she was extremely smart, but she was definitely not stupid. She immediately knew that this seemingly gentle master did it on purpose - deliberately placed the dahlia in a conspicuous place, deliberately to provoke the emperor's anger.

"You did a good job this morning," Cuiyu was thinking to herself, but Leng Xi put his hands into his sleeves, stared into her eyes, and said meaningfully: "——you are a smart person."

Cuiyu was stunned, but she didn't want to meet Leng Xi's eyes - those clear phoenix eyes were still calm, like a puddle of water, full of eyes.

But Cuiyu understood, she knelt down, kowtowed to Lengxi, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, this servant only did what it was supposed to do and cannot stand up to your praise."

Leng Xi raised his hand to signal her to get up, and said with a gentle expression: "There are too many stupid people in this world, too many foolish people, and even more people who are overwhelmed, and in this Nine Layers Deep Palace, if you are willing to be an understanding People, I will promise you peace—do you understand what I mean?"

Cuiyu's heart was shocked, she could vaguely feel that Leng Xi had a secret plan, but she didn't expect that Leng Xi actually chose her!

This - shouldn't he choose his personal maid, Miss Yanran?How could the empress...

But at the same time, she also understands that once people like them identify with their master, they will advance together through honor and disgrace, life and death. At critical times, they have to sacrifice their lives to keep the master safe.

She was at a loss, but after getting along with her these days, she also understood in her heart that this seemingly weak master was actually extremely difficult!

Anyway, she is the female official in charge of the Emerald Palace, why not take a gamble!

Thinking of this, Cuiyu kowtowed again, and said in a deep voice: "Cuiyu understands, please rest assured, empress, from now on, Cuiyu will definitely live up to your love!"

Leng Xi nodded and smiled, stepped forward to give her a hand in person, and then took out a beautifully crafted sachet, and said, "I'm even pleased if you think so, this sachet rewards you, it's a little bit of this sachet. Mind."

Cuiyu hurriedly thanked her, took the sachet with both hands, she couldn't help but secretly looked at it - but saw that this sachet was only the size of a palm, it was actually made of peacock feathers mixed with gold, not only that, the bag was covered with a lot of South China Sea Pearls, outlining the pattern of blossoming hibiscus, together with the bursts of cold fragrance emanating from it, just by looking at it, you know that it is worth a lot!

Cuiyu was shocked, "Ma'am, this, this is..."

Leng Xi just smiled slightly, nodded to signal her to accept, "Take it, as long as you are sincere."

Cuiyu really had mixed feelings at this moment, she couldn't say anything for a while, but Leng Xi squinted her eyes, as if she was carelessly changing the subject.

"Cuiyu, are you familiar with the pearl in Concubine Xian's palace?"

"Returning to the empress, Zhuzhu and the slaves are considered to be the same batch of people who entered the palace. They took urinating together to receive the lessons in the palace. Before serving you, the slaves also served in front of the queen mother with Zeng her."

Leng Xi nodded, "Very well, then do you know what is different about pearls?"

Cuiyu was taken aback for a moment, a bit confused as to why Leng Xi asked such a question, but she still thought about it carefully, and said cautiously: "Pearl... is a diligent person, no matter which master she follows, she has never heard of any punishment. After being there, because of her cleverness and steadiness, she soon became a first-class court lady next to Concubine Xian."

Cuiyu paused, trying to recall, "But... the servant vaguely remembers that when Pearl was young, she was a bit greedy for small profits, which may be related to her poor family when she was young. The servant remembers that the only valuable thing on her body belonged to her mother. The sachet she embroidered, unfortunately, the sachet disappeared shortly after she entered the palace, maybe it was stolen by some shallow-sighted people, but speaking of the sachet , but it looks good, I remember clearly that there are snow-white pearls on the surface of the bag..."

Cuiyu stopped her mouth suddenly, she seemed to understand something in an instant, she stared at Leng Xi's calm face with horror, opened her mouth for a long time, but couldn't hold back a word.

Leng Xi smiled slowly, stared at Cuiyu's surprised eyes, and said lightly: "Do you understand what you should do?"

Cuiyu was stunned for a while, then clenched the sachet in her hand, kowtowed to Leng Xi, and said in a deep voice: "Please don't worry, my maidservant."
