Chapter 171
"So that means there is someone who has this Baiyun porcelain jar that has been stewed with safflower or potency and musk for a long time; similar bird's nests, which let the medicinal properties penetrate into the jar and then repack. The medical officer in the kitchen only checks the meals in and out every day, but rarely checks the porcelain jars here. So there is nothing to be found. On the one hand, she killed the medical officer here to transfer the concubine De who sent the blood bird's nest, and on the other hand, she also conceals the truth. It's really cunning and cruel." We two of us peeled off the thread and finally understood the whole story.
"Well, that's it. I didn't expect that I like to study ceramics on weekdays and can use them today. Let's go and tell the emperor to give you a cleansing innocence." Lan Lin said firmly. She held the white cloud porcelain in one hand and pulled me out with the other.
I pulled her back and dissuaded, "I'd rather not. Now you and I are all guilty in their eyes. Not to mention that we can't walk out of this morning garden, even if we go out, how many people will believe what we say. And the emperor, even if I kill my own children with my own hands, let alone the same thing as you and me. I went forward rashly, for fear that the emperor would be beaten back before he met. The worst thing is that we will still be alarmed by the snake like this. Or." At this point, I paused and continued, "We have already alarmed the snake."
"How is that possible?" Lan Lin stopped and looked at me in surprise.
"It was also our momentary negligence. When Concubine De came, I really thought it was her. It seems that a large part of Concubine De might have been used by her. Otherwise, with Concubine De's personality, how could she take the blame for killing people and silence the dragon descendants? I guess it has been convinced by people."
"I understand this, but we didn't do anything else before. Why did we alarm the enemy?" Lan Lin still didn't understand and asked.
"Think about it, there are too many empty places in the cold palace now. Why are you sent here without going anywhere else? Because you love the emperor, you have a reason to hate me. And I, you personally brought me down and said that I was hurting my children. I can even think that you are the mastermind who harmed my children. And she naturally knew that I was wronged. Logically speaking, you should not be incompatible with you and fire, and you have to fight to the death, right? But you and I get along well. If we are not stupid, we know that something is strange. Maybe they can't think we can know the truth so quickly, but they must know that we know that there is another person in the world. No one in this world is framed innocently and doesn't say a word. With her caution, I'm afraid that something will start to take action soon."
"You mean, she is coming to kill us. It is impossible. We all see the emperor's obsession with you. Even if he believes that you are ruthless, you will never be willing to kill you. You said, how could she take such a big risk if she is so cautious?" Lan Lin said in disbelief.
"Sometimes, even the most cautious person will still let go when he discovers greater hidden dangers and needs to take risks. She can stay by our side for so long as she is not discovered, which means she is not simple. Therefore, she must consider our level. She will not take action immediately, but once she takes action, she must kill us. And with her prudence, she must see us die with her own eyes. But don't worry, she should be more willing to watch me die with her own eyes." I looked coldly at the bleakness outside and said.
"Die, don't scare me. Why do you say that?" She grabbed my hand tightly, trembling, as if I really disappeared as soon as I let go.
"Don't be so nervous. You know, it's never my style to sit and wait for death. Let's plan well while she was preparing. It's still unknown who will win." I shook her hand and said.
She nodded. After all, she was the queen before, so she should be very cautious and meticulous in doing things. And her stability is the best one I see in this harem. At that time, she should be able to deal with it.

As autumn frost is everywhere, I got up early today. Take a deep breath. Looking at the desolation of the garden, it is calm. Only the autumn chrysanthemums compiled in late summer are proudly fighting against the wind and frost, and their postures are pleasant. They are originally cold and cold, but what can wind and frost do? Even if the fire burns this land, even if the wind and frost are cold, life will continue. Everything will continue.
Today I came to the chrysanthemum pavilion wearing a red robe with white fox fur. In autumn, I changed my inner clothes every two days and outer robe every seven days, which means I will wear this piece of clothing for these seven days.
Every one or two days, some birds shot to death will appear here. I know that they were sent by Ye Ling, and there was no frost on the bird's feathers, and there was even a warmth on its body, which was delivered in the morning.
I was taking care of the chrysanthemum when I heard a puff sound. I immediately shouted, "Ye Ling, wait. I have something to ask you for help."
I think he would stop. For some reason, I feel that he will definitely turn around and listen to me.
He flew back indeed. He just looked at me and didn't speak.
"Can you give me a dagger? It's the cross-shaped one." I said directly.
He frowned and stopped replying in a low voice: "What do you want that bloodthirsty blade to do?"
His voice was actually very nice, but I didn't know what he had hidden before. I paused and replied, "It's nothing, I just wanted to use a dagger to defend myself. There are always cats and dogs in this palace, and I'm afraid of those things. So it feels more secure to put a dagger on it. Moreover, the knife in that kitchen is not good enough, and some of the birds you caught are already elder-level. The knife has been knocked. So by the way, you also use it as a kitchen knife."
His mouth twitched at first, then frowned.
That's right. I looked him in the eyes and continued, "Are you going to give me or not? You can do it. You're just talking about it, why are you so good to me? I'm satisfied with your answer, so I don't want that bloodthirsty blade. How about it?"
Bloodthirsty Blade, a good name. All I want is Bloodthirsty Blade.
His face was a little red, and he turned over unnaturally, took out a dagger and handed it to me. He said, "Take it, be careful when using it. This is made of black scale iron, which is very sharp, so don't hurt yourself."
I took the dagger and pulled it out with a cough. It was indeed a good tool for assassination. When Qingcao used it to kill my second brother, I didn't look closely. Now I carefully look at it with four blades, and my whole body was cold but not as smooth and bright as other daggers. Even when I was placed under the sun during the day, I couldn't see any light and shadow reflected from it. It was it.
I put away my dagger, smiled, and asked deliberately: "I heard that this month's fifteenth day of the lunar month, that is, the day after tomorrow, the emperor is going to Nancheng to do something, and he has to stay for one night before he comes back. Have you followed the emperor?"
"I'll stay in the imperial city." He paused and replied.
In fact, from the inquiry from Lan Lin's close friend, I already knew that he was Qi Yeling, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. This time the emperor left the city and he stayed in the palace. I asked this, but in fact I wanted him to know that there was no peace here on the 15th. I hope he could come. With his martial arts, it should be OK to deal with such a few people, and I just need him to deal with a few people.
I suddenly felt a little sad. I have never used others like this, and he is very innocent. Except for the time he wanted to kill me, he secretly helped me in the rest of the time. As a person who has experienced it, how could I not know how he feels about me? Speaking of which, he is really simple. I can't bear it. But I can't help it. I have no hope in my life, I just want to avenge my children.
Suddenly, I really wanted to confirm it and let him say it out well, otherwise, who would know if there would be a chance in the future?
"Ye Ling, I can tell you why he is so good to me. Actually, you don't know my second brother, right? I'm not worthy of you treating me like this." By the way, I'm not worthy of it, I'm not worthy of it at all, I'm using him. If something happens to him because of my hint, I'm really sorry for him.
"You have nothing to be unworthy." He suddenly said this, and then he clenched his fists, as if to force himself to say, "Empress, you deserve the best. It's me, I'm sorry to you. At first I almost killed you. I, like Ling'er, are the ones who guard you. I report what you say every day to the emperor. If I hadn't passed on you, no, the empress and the medical officer of Shangguan would have passed on the pathology of the empress, the empress would not have suffered such grievances today. It was Huyi's fault."
Listening to his words, I walked up to him, looked at him, and said, "I know you didn't really want to kill me that day. What happened next is just your responsibility, not a mistake. What should be done will always come. If you don't spread those words, things will still happen. No matter what, I still have to thank you. If you don't come, my food, rice, oil and salt are all big problems. Really, thank you, Ye Ling."
"Empress, you, don't say that. This is what a humble position should do." He replied at a loss.
"Don't say that, you said it's the best. I'm insatiable and want you to help me." Today, I just said it all.
"Please tell me!" he replied firmly.
"Yeah, if you can, take good care of Ling'er. Well, it's okay to take good care of me." I thought that Ling'er didn't know if she was doing well. Since he could help me so much in secret, he should be able to help her. Or maybe Ling'er always looked in the dark before, was she looking for him?
He was stunned, thought for a long time, and finally nodded cautiously.
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to go back and cook chrysanthemum porridge. Do you want to eat a bowl too?"
He smiled, a little silly. He shook his head unfortunately and said, "It is a honor for me to taste a bowl of chrysanthemum porridge from the Queen. But I have to take over."
The first time I saw him laughing, he smiled very well. After all, he was like Ling'er, treating me well, and loyal to Emperor Xuantian, or perhaps even more loyal to Zhongtian Kingdom. I replied, "Okay, I won't delay you, I'll eat again if I have the chance."
He nodded, stood up and leaped, and flew out of the garden wall. I looked at his left back and thought to myself: I hope there will be a chance in the future. After I went back, I made chrysanthemum porridge, wrote the recipe, and then wrote a poem under the recipe: Peach is beautiful, bright and beautiful. My son is back, and it is good for his family. Put it in an envelope, which says Ling'er and Ye Ling's personal opening.
