"Damn it!" After Hua Xiangwei returned to her own courtyard, she was extremely unwilling. As expected, Fu Yuheng had been completely bewitched by her the moment she returned. As he thought of this, the handkerchief in his hand was crumpled into a ball, but he suppressed the anger in his heart. He quickly adjusted his state, and it became as calm as if nothing had happened.
She had been well-bred since she was a child and had never been happy. Ever since she was young, her mother was originally just an aunt. However, it was only by slowly getting rid of the main wife that she was able to become the direct descendant of the main wife.
"Meng'er, has the empress notified us?" He turned to ask Meng'er with a smile, but his tone was still kind and gentle.
"In reply to the Empress, I have already notified you." Meng'er nodded.
"That's good."
At this time, Xiao Shushen was leaning on the phoenix bed, listening to the palace maid's report below.
"Esteemed Empress, do you need to go and take a look at that new palace maid?" The Gui mama suggested, "After all, he is a woman that you can casually pick up. He comes from a poor background, so it should be very easy to bribe her."
Xiao Shushen turned her head to look at her, then pondered for a moment, before slowly sitting up, "There's no rush, let's go see what kind of sacred woman she is first, to actually enter the palace like that, logically speaking, this unknown woman should not be able to enter, since she has this kind of ability, she is probably not a simple person either." It was obvious that she was thinking too much. After all, she had spent so much time and effort in the harem.
"Then this servant will go and make the arrangements." The Gui mama said and left.
After a while, he returned and followed Xiao Shushen to Shen Qingwan's courtyard.
"Greetings, esteemed empress." Shen Qingwan felt slightly blessed and was slightly surprised at her arrival. Other than greeting her, she rarely saw her during this period of time. She hadn't thought that she would actually come to her courtyard today. "I wonder what business does the empress have today?"
With a raise of his hand, he gave Lian Yun a look. Lian Yun understood what she meant and went down to pour some tea.
"What, does sister not welcome elder sister that much?" Can't you come and see if you have nothing to do? " She wasn't polite at all, and she didn't need to say anything before sitting down. Her aura was very upright, giving people a feeling of elegance.
Shen Qingwan shook her head. This was the Queen, she could not say that she did not welcome him, "Of course I welcome you. Since elder sister came, isn't it better to let little sister make her presence known?" She smiled gently, gently, estranged.
But Xiao Shushen did not come this time to ignore her, it was just that she was not here to see her, but to meet the Qing Ling she brought back.
It just so happened that Qing Ling came out from the back, her body had already been cleaned up, adding that his foundation was already good, it could be seen through without the scar on her face.
"Is this the palace maid that you brought back a few days ago?" Xiao Shushen raised her eyebrow and asked, but there was doubt in her eyes, why does she look so familiar?
Shen Qingwan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the question. After all, no matter who it was, anyone who casually brought them into the palace would be questioned by others. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of disrespect on their face, "That's right." Then, he waved her hand. "Come, Qing Ling, come and greet the Empress."
Qing Ling looked at Xiao Shushen, concealing the shock in her heart. She lowered her eyes, looking a little uneasy.
"Get up." Xiao Shushen raised her hand, and saw that there was a trace of a smile on her face, but within this smile, there was scheming, "What a wonderful person." If he ignored the scar on her face, wouldn't she be a perfect beauty? A cold sneer appeared in her heart. Perhaps this was an opportunity for her.
"Here, this jade bracelet is for you. In the future, you have to serve your esteemed mistress well." She took a few steps forward and walked to her side. Lowering her head, she whispered into her ear. She purposely bit down on the word 'service' in her heart.
Qing Ling bit her lips, but maintained her composure and said, "Thank you, Esteemed Empress."
"Gui mama, let's go!" He had gained a lot from this trip.
"Esteemed Empress, this woman …" After waiting in her courtyard, the Gui mama finally spoke up. Seeing the smile on her face, she couldn't really make out what she meant.
"We don't need to interfere with this girl. If she has the ability, she will naturally give us a huge gift." Xiao Shushen's expression became a little sinister.
Hearing her words, although the Gui mama didn't understand what she meant, he was still relieved and followed her back to the palace.
"Qing Ling, go and prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath." Shen Qing Wan said her instructions, but still decided to leave some thoughts in her mind and let Lian Yun follow her.
"Yes …" Qing Ling replied.
While she was bathing, Shen Qing Wan told Qing Ling to go out, but kept Lian Yun, "Is there anything abnormal with her during these few days?" Ye Zichen rubbed his eyebrows and asked. It had to be said that she was actually quite concerned about her background.
"In reply to the Empress, no." For the past few days, she had been paying attention to her every move. However, it was as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. She had always been very obedient.
She nodded, "You have to pay more attention to this for the next few days. If there is anything abnormal, you have to report it to me." Thinking of what Fu Yuheng had told her before, although she felt a little helpless, she had indeed remembered it in her heart.
"You've been by her side these past few days. Can you see any of her characteristics?" She suddenly thought of something and asked. If it was just based on her actions, she probably wouldn't be able to tell anything.
"Mm …" Lian Yun was quiet for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes, "Reporting to the Empress, there is a butterfly shaped birthmark on her back, I have asked her about it before, she only said that she never cared about it, after all she is a woman, and thus cannot be seen by others, and she does not know either."
"So … "In a few days, you can go to the place where we met her and ask if we know her." He stretched out his hand to pick up the floating flower petal, then put it back into the water and let it slowly float.
It was as if she was thinking in her mind, floating back and forth.
One day the truth would come out, or at least she would be wary of him until she could prove that he had no ulterior motives.
This couldn't be blamed on her. After all, during this period of time in the harem, she had been dragged into the whirlpool countless times.
