Lu Jieyu stopped drinking tea when she heard the words "concubine Xiao".
She looked at the white imperial concubine sitting on the throne and asked curiously.
"Is this Qingsong from concubine Xiao?"
Yan Cairen felt a slight movement when he heard the speech.
She had also wondered how Qingsong, a little eunuch, could provoke catkins to find fault frequently.
At present, it seems to have something to do with concubine Xiao.
White imperial concubine put down the tea, and her voice was still soft.
"When I was in the East Palace, Qingsong followed concubine Xiao."
After getting the exact answer, Yan Cairen probably understood that the reason why Liu Xu didn't like Qingsong was because of concubine Xiao.
There must have been an old grudge between concubine Xiao and concubine Bai.
Yan Cairen secretly rejoiced that he had not rashly helped Qingsong out, otherwise she would unknowingly offend Princess Bai.
Lu Jieyu was very interested in Princess Xiao's affairs and couldn't help asking.
"It's true that the emperor is deeply in love with concubine Xiao?"
When Bai Fei heard this, she took a bitter radian from the corners of her mouth.
"When the emperor was the prince, he really loved concubine Xiao."
Then she said a lot about concubine Xiao.
In some places, she said it in detail, and in others, she said it.
Lu Jieyu and Yan Cairen listened carefully.
These are the past events that only the old people in the palace know. The two newcomers who have just entered the palace know nothing about them.
At last, Bai Fei sighed faintly.
"I shouldn't have told you these things, but I'm afraid you don't understand anything when you first entered the palace and violated the emperor's taboo, so I'm going to tell you these things. I hope you all remember. In the future, try not to mention Princess Xiao in front of the emperor, so as not to hurt the emperor."
Lu Jieyu and Yan Cairen thanked Princess Bai for her advice.
The white imperial concubine showed a tired look.
"The palace is tired. If you want to have a rest, help yourself."
She got up and walked out with the help of the maid in waiting.
Lu Jieyu and Yan Cairen quickly got up and sent her away.
When Bai Fei passed the courtyard, she caught a glimpse of the green pine still being trained and gently called the catkins.
Catkins immediately ran over and blessed the body: "what's your mother's order?"
White imperial concubine: "the pot of white camellia in the house looks a little wilted. Let someone take it to bask in the sun."
Liu Xu, as a great maid who had served Princess Bai for many years, immediately understood the meaning of Princess Bai's words and replied with a smile: "here."
She turned her head and said to Qingsong.
"What are you doing? Why don't you move the camellia out quickly?"
Qingsong went into the house and took out the heavy white camellia.
Catkins pointed to the open space in the middle of the courtyard.
"You kneel there, put the camellia on your head and let it bask in the sun."
It's Midsummer and the sun is very hot. Even if you just stand in the sun for a period of time, you can peel people, not to mention holding such a heavy pot of Camellia. It's deadly.
But Qingsong can't resist.
He is just a slave. If the master doesn't want to protect him, no one cares about his life and death.
He followed his words, knelt on the uneven stone road, raised the camellia with both hands and put it on his head.
In summer, his clothes were thin, the stones on the road hurt his knees, and the hot sun made him sweat, and his face was green and white, which became more and more ugly.
Bai Fei left with satisfaction.
At this time, Lu Jieyu and Yan Cairen came out.
Seeing the scene in the hospital, Yan Cairen didn't dare to say a word more. He hurried back to the house as if he had no slave like Qingsong at all.
Lu Jieyu knew that Qingsong would die sooner or later.
She doesn't mind pushing again to make Qingsong die faster. By the way, she can sell a favor.
Lu Jieyu walked down the steps. When she passed Qingsong, she deliberately pushed Qingsong.
Qingsong was tired and hungry and had little strength. He was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground. The flower pot held on his head also fell to the ground and split in an instant.
Lu Jieyu showed a frightened look.
"Ah! What's the matter with you slave? Why did you hit me?!"
Qingsong hurriedly got up and couldn't tell. He had to beg for mercy.
"I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me!"
Liu Xu came over quickly and asked, "Jieyu, are you okay?"
Lu Jieyu pressed her chest and looked like a lingering palpitation.
"Oh, the slave just deliberately bumped into me. If such a big flower pot hits me, won't I be finished?"
Liu Xu just saw Lu Jieyu's action and knew that she deliberately pushed Qingsong, but what about this?
Qingsong will die sooner or later.
What's the difference between early death and late death?
Liu Xu hurriedly said, "don't worry, Jieyu. I'll explain it to you."
Then she shook her hand and slapped Qingsong in the face and scolded.
"How dare you hurt people in broad daylight?"
This hit very hard, and the half of the green pine soon became red and swollen, burning and painful.
He kowtowed to Lu Jieyu in pain.
Lu Jieyu: "if you keep such a vicious slave, it will only be a disaster. Kill it quickly."
Catkins attract two eunuchs and catch Qingsong.
Qingsong struggled desperately to resist, but it was useless.
His struggle only resulted in a violent beating.
Liu Xu, after asking Bai Fei for instructions, got permission and was ready to kill Qingsong with a staff.
Although lynching is not allowed to be abused in the palace, it also varies from person to person.
It's like a high-ranking concubine dealing with one or two disobedient slaves. It's not a big deal. If you deal with it, you'll deal with it.
Qingsong was covered with his mouth and pressed on the ground, full of panic and despair.
Is he going to die here today?
Eunuch Dali held up his stick and was about to fight. Suddenly he heard a sharp drink.
"Stop!"
Qingsong was shocked when he heard the familiar voice.
It's like the sound of a Baoqin!
He turned his head hard and followed the prestige. Sure enough, he saw that Baoqin was running here in a hurry.
Soon she ran to Qingsong, grabbed the stick in the eunuch Dali's hand and threw it to the ground.
Liu Xu was stunned.
Since Baoqin was transferred to the imperial dining room, she seldom saw Baoqin again.
She didn't expect that Baoqin would suddenly run to Yanyu Palace at this time.
Lu Jieyu frowned at the Baoqin and asked unhappily.
"Who are you?"
Baoqin blessed her: "the maid is Baoqin, the big maid in the palace beside the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has something to ask Qingsong, so she specially asked the maid to take him there."
Lu Jieyu's face changed slightly when she heard the word "imperial concubine".
She tried to provoke the relationship between the imperial concubine and the emperor, but the provocation failed and almost compensated herself.
This made her more jealous of the imperial concubine.
At this time, looking at Baoqin, Lu Jieyu was in a bad mood, and the expression on her face was a little gloomy.
"Even if you are the big maid beside the imperial concubine, you can't break into Yanyu palace without communication."
