After nightfall.
As usual, the maid of honor came in with a incense box and a piece of incense. Wu Qiao, dressed as an ordinary servant girl, stood next to Lian Yueyue, and her eyes fell on the maid of honor.
Suddenly, she walked over with a smile, grabbed the maid's wrist and said with a smile, "sister maid, let me come and give me the rest." She could not help but break off the maid's hand and took the two pieces of incense left in her hand.
The palace maid looked at Liang Guifei and Lian Xiangyue in a panic. "This, this man..." how dare you be so casual in front of her.
But seeing that the imperial concubine and the princess did not say anything, she had to step down and say nothing.
After lighting the incense with a smile, Wu Qiao leaned the box close to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath. The result was good——
"Cough, cough, cough..." she tried too hard and sucked the accumulated incense ash in the box into her nose. As a result, a layer of incense ash was spread on her nose and mouth.
Seeing the ashes on Wu Qiao's face and nose, the maid quickly took out her handkerchief and said, "I'll wipe it for you."
"No, no, I'll do it myself." Wu Qiao took the handkerchief in the maid's hand and wiped his face carelessly.
Lian Xiangyue shook her head and said, "you, rash, bumped into the mother imperial concubine and didn't apologize quickly."
Wu Qiao lost his handkerchief in a panic and hurriedly knelt down on his knees. As a result, because he was too reckless, he accidentally bumped into the palace maid. The palace maid was stunned and knelt down with a painful expression on her face.
"Damn the slave, damn the slave!" Wu Qiao was so frightened that he kowtowed quickly, and the innocent palace maids had to kowtow together.
"Just get up. Don't knock. When you go back to Hengqin palace, you'd better go back to your laundry. At first, Princess Ben saw you simple and honest and pulled you to her side, but she didn't want to. You're still stupid. Just quit."
"Yes." Wu Qiao stood up with tears of gratitude and went out with the palace maid.
Outside, she began to cry. The palace maid was stunned and asked, "what are you crying for?"
"Sister Gong, you heard that my princess thought I was stupid and refused to keep me around. I have to go back to the laundry to wash clothes. It's a good day. It hasn't been a few days yet." As she spoke, she shed tears pitifully. Then she hugged the palace maid and fell on her shoulder. She couldn't help crying.
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, raised her hand, patted her on the shoulder and said, "don't cry. The princess is kind-hearted. She must be just angry for a moment. When the anger disappears, she will keep you around."
"Really?" Wu Qiao held her shoulders in both hands and asked excitedly.
The maid of honor flashed a touch of embarrassment on her face, twisted her shoulder, motioned Wu Qiao to take away her hand and said, "I can't tell whether it's true or false. After all, it's your princess. In short, you don't have to worry too much. I didn't get very angry when I saw the princess just now."
"Well! Then I'm much more relieved. " There was a simple and innocent smile on her face.
"Then I'll go first. I have something to do. I can't delay here too long. If I miss something, I'll be punished." Said the maid in waiting.
"What's your sister's name?" Wu Qiao asked again.
"Lotus and Wuhu." She answered and left.
As soon as LianWu left, Wu Qiao immediately recovered his usual expression and quickly approached the hall.
"How? See what? " Lian Xiangyue asked.
"The imperial concubine, empress, princess, this person is by no means an ordinary palace maid. The maid touched her bone and just spread out her palm. In addition to the place where the fingers, wrists and palms are connected, there is a thick calluses. Like our martial arts practitioners, they hold swords for a long time and stick the hilt to this position, which will form a thick calluses over time."
Wu Qiao was deep in his right hand. Sure enough, the intersection of his wrist and arm was a brown yellow cocoon.
"As like as two peas, the lotus and the maid are in exactly the same position."
"Qingdai, put your hand out and have a look." Even the moon commanded.
"Yes." Qingdai stretched out her hand and took a pen with Wu Qiao's calluses——
"The cocoon of Qingdai girl is mainly under her fingers and not on her wrist," Wu Qiao said. "I pinch her shoulder and other bones. Because of long-term martial arts practice, her bones are very different from ordinary people."
"So there's something wrong with this lotus leaf." Liang Guifei said.
"Mother imperial concubine, when did she come to Menghua palace?" Lian Xiangyue asked.
"It's almost two months. The servant girl in charge has been released from the palace when she is old enough to leave the palace. The house of interior arranged for her to come over." Liang Guifei said about the origin of LianWu.
"Almost two months?" Even the moon gazed at the lit incense and recalled what had just happened. Suddenly, a scene flashed in her mind.
She suddenly said, "incense box! Bring it! "
"Yes."
When Qingdai brought the box, Lian Xiangyue immediately opened the box——
He poured out some of the incense ashes, pulled out the silver hairpin on his head, fiddled with it in the incense ashes, and carefully examined the incense box. Finally, a cold feeling appeared on his face, saying:
"I see. The problem is not incense, but these incense ashes and boxes." Lian Xiangyue explained, "this box is obviously new and hasn't been used once or twice, but the incense ash in her is almost full.
This shows that someone specially prepared a box to contain the incense in question. "
"Yue'er, what's the problem? Will the ashes and the box hurt you? " Liang Guifei asked anxiously.
Lian Xiangyue motioned Qingdai to put the ashes back in the box, and then explained:
"If the moon is not mistaken, the edge of the box and the ashes are all the stems and leaves of the" woodlouse ".
These powders have no effect on yue'er, because yue'er has lived here for a short time and doesn't stay in the mother's room for a long time.
However, the dizziness and lack of spirit of the mother imperial concubine recently was caused by these powders, because it has been for two months. If it continues, the mother will be paralyzed and unable to get out of bed. "
"What..." Liang Guifei's face was a little cold, and her eyes showed a touch of anger. "The means of the harem is really impossible to prevent! If you hadn't come to accompany me for a few days, I'm afraid you wouldn't have found anything for a while and a half. "
Lian Xiangyue's face was cold, and a deep chill appeared at the bottom of his eyes. He said, "since I found it, don't blame me for being rude!"
Liang Guifei is Yunzheng's mother. She treats her like a daughter. She thinks of her everywhere. She will never allow anyone to harm the people she cares about.
