I didn't hear what they said next. When I came to my senses, the old lady had already left.

Madam Qian held the bag she gave her in her hand and stood there for a while. Then she slowly turned around and walked towards the other end. I thought about it, but did not follow her, but walked from another road towards the courtyard where she lived.

Madam Qian is also a manager in the cold palace. She lives in a good place. The courtyard is simple and clean. There is also a pond in the middle. She feeds a few small fish in it. She crept around the water and grass and ate sandworms and spit bubbles, which was very comfortable. I stood beside the pond and watched the fish play and have fun. After a while, I heard her footsteps coming from outside.

Madam Qian walked to the gate, looked up and saw me, and was also surprised. I smiled and said, "Madam Qian."

"Oh, who do I think it is? Yue Cairen is so expensive."

She was still the same as before, always speaking with three-point piercings. I had long been used to it. I followed her all the way to the house. She cleaned up a little, then walked over and looked at me, and said, "Why, I can't bear to leave here, come back to see it?"

I smiled and said, "Come back and see you."

"What's the good thing about me?"

“It looks pretty good.”

Seeing me sitting at the table with a smile and talking to her, her face that was originally long and couldn't hold back. She laughed and picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea for me. I took it with a smile, but when I looked down, it was Fenghuang Dan Chong, and she let it go with difficulty. She snorted coldly: "Oh, I forgot that after Yue Cairen was granted, I was afraid that he had eaten a lot of good tea, so how could he still look down on tea like us?"

"No," I said hurriedly, "The Imperial Doctor said, I can't eat such tea now."

"Imperial Doctor?"

She looked at me in confusion, then fell on my lower abdomen along my gaze, and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You have already-"

"…Hmm." I nodded.

She stared at my stomach, and after a while she lowered her voice, "This - wasn't the Emperor forced you?"

My face blushed and I shook my head.

"That's good," she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said to me, "You were locked up here, every time the emperor left, you either cooked the soup yourself or bathed in the water for a few hours. You didn't know where you got the courage, and you didn't know how you and the emperor would end up like this."

Thinking of those days, my face was a little heavy, but I still let myself throw these memories behind my mind.

I said to Madam Qian, "I also thank you for taking care of you in those days." Otherwise, I would either drive Pei Yuanhao crazy or be killed by Liu Ningyan.

Madam Qian seemed to remember something, she turned to look at me and said, "I heard that the man named Liu was killed by a stick?"

"Um."

"..." She didn't answer the conversation, just looked at me, and I knew what she meant, and said lightly: "It was her own fault."

Madam Qian raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised that I would talk about life and death of a person so calmly. She looked at me silently for a while and suddenly said, "Girl, you really look like a person..."

When I heard this, I turned to look at her, but I saw that Madam Qian seemed to be trapped in memory and murmured: "It looks weak and bullied, but no one in this palace can really ride on her."

I frowned slightly and asked, "Madam, who are you talking about?"

Her eyes were still on my face, but it seemed that she had already seen something else through my body and saw someone else's body. She had not answered for a long time. It was not until I called her again that Madam Qian suddenly woke up and smiled: "Nothing."

We chatted for a while and I wanted to talk to her about Empress Zhaolie, but Madam Qian was a very cautious person. Every time the topic came, she would open it quietly. I gradually felt that she would not say anything more. After sitting for a while, she would get up and say goodbye. She also turned her back to me to clean up the things on the cabinet. I held the bag of silver in my sleeve and wanted to take it out, but she was a little hesitant, but she said without looking back: "Put it on the table, I heard the jingling sound."

I smiled and put the silver on the table: "My grandma will change to another tea next time."

She turned around and glared at me: "Oh, you think you are the concubine, so hard to serve."

I laughed, turned around and left.

After leaving the cold palace, Shui Xiu was already bored there, so she hurriedly pulled me back. As soon as she returned to Fangcaotang, she saw Xiaoyu and Madam Wu walking out towards her. Madam Wu said with a bad look: "Talented man, why did he come back for so long? The emperor just came."

I just came, which means I'm not here now.

I went back to the room and sat down, and asked, "Your Majesty isn't you angry?"

"No, I sat for a while but didn't say anything. As a result, Yuwen came over to give Cairen snacks. The emperor said to go over and see Xu Cairen, who is there now."

"oh."

I nodded lightly and said nothing, but Shui Xiu rolled her eyes: "We have been here for so long and have never sent snacks. As soon as the emperor came, they sent snacks. It's a coincidence."

"Yes." Xiaoyu also said: "As soon as Yuwen entered the door, she said "Happy Talent" on the left and "Happy Talent" on the right, and she didn't even greet us."

I frowned by the noise of the two of them. Madam Wu hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the talented man? I feel uncomfortable?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I'm a little hungry. Give them the snacks they sent."

Shui Xiu glanced at me and stood aside angrily. Xiaoyu could only bring the snacks obediently. It was a plate of exquisite crystal horseshoe cake. I was a little hungry after staying in the cold palace for a long time, so I picked up a piece to eat.

But as soon as the horseshoe cake was delivered to my mouth, I suddenly frowned and looked down carefully.

Shui Xiu and the others felt something and hurriedly said, "Talented people, what's wrong?"

"..." I was silent for a moment, put the horseshoe cake back on the plate, and said to Xiaoyu: "Take it out and pour it out, don't show it to anyone."

All three of them were surprised. I don’t know what they had given birth, but Madam Wu was more sophisticated. She hurried over and sniffed it carefully, and immediately changed her face: “There is garlic pollen on this!”

"What?!"

Xiaoyu and Shui Xiu were both shocked and hurriedly came over to see me. I sat at the table, with a calm expression on my face. I lowered my voice and said, "Don't make a fuss, take it out and pour it out!"

"Talented people, that's all right. They are obviously trying to harm you!"

"That's right. You can't swallow your anger so much anymore. Let's take it now and show it to the emperor and judge it!"

Shui Xiu was the most impulsive, picked up the plate and walked out, and I lowered my face: "Come back!"

Among the people who served me in Fangcaotang, Shui Xiu knew me the longest time. She had never seen me sternly. She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Seeing this, Madam Wu hurriedly pulled her back. Seeing that she was scared, I relaxed and said softly: "I didn't use my brain. The thing was sent by Yuwen. The emperor was here again. If they really wanted to harm her, would she choose this time?"

Shui Xiu still didn't dare to speak, and Madam Wu asked, "Then, what you mean is-"

Before she could finish her words, footsteps suddenly came from afar outside. Xiaoyu was standing in front of the window, looking out, and hurriedly said to me: "Ah, the emperor has come out from there."

I sat without moving for a moment, only facing the window, listening to the familiar footsteps slowly getting closer.

"Talented people..."

Madam Wu and the others looked at me, but I still sat there without moving. For a moment, the room became quiet. I could clearly hear the footsteps and stopped when I walked outside. Eunuch Yu's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Yue Cairen seems to be back."

The people outside didn't speak.

I sat down and didn't speak, but I felt a little sweat in my palm.

After a while, the footsteps sounded again, but slowly became farther away. Xiao Yuqiao looked out and said in disappointment: "The Emperor is leaving again."

There was a look of regret on their faces. I sat there slowly lowered my head, not knowing whether I sighed or felt relieved. However, Madam Wu was still worried and asked, "Talented man, what's going on with this horse-hoof cake?"

I said, "Since Xu Cairen can ask Yuwen to send something in front of the emperor, she must have thought it was okay or she had never doubted it. Otherwise, she would have caused trouble and would not have been so stupid. So this pastry was probably caused by someone secretly, and they themselves didn't know it."

"Who is that?"

"You guys say, who in this palace wants something wrong with Xu Cairen's child the most?"

Xiaoyu and the others looked at each other, thought for a while, and whispered: "I think it's 6 Shuyi, she looks down on others the most."

"So too."

"Come on, there are a few children in this palace who like Xu Cairen."

I shook my head, and Madam Wu asked, "Talent, who is it?"

"It's me."

"What?"

All three of them widened their eyes, looking at me in disbelief. I smiled faintly and said, "Now, only Xu Cairen and I are pregnant in this palace. If something happens to her child, my child may be the eldest son. Do you think I hope something happens to her the most?"

"But, you are a talented person-"

I smiled and said, "Besides, Xu Cairen and I live closest, so I really need to do things without knowing it. It is also the most convenient for me. So the one who uses it wants to harm Xu Cairen, but the target is me."

It's really good, one trick, two birds with one bird.

I have been living a very stable life these days, and Pei Yuanhao often comes, so I almost forgot that I am actually in a position. This piece of horse hoof cake was reminded that someone in the palace had already started to attack me.

Madam Wu and the others' faces changed: "Talented, who is it?"

I slowly stood up and walked to Shui Xiu's face, reached out to pick up a piece of crystal horse hoof cake, and looked at the sunlight, and it seemed as bright as a piece of crystal.
