”Tomorrow, chenqie will cook for Pin De as well. That's right, even if I agreed to it, I still have to make it up to her. Chenqie will take care of you.” Lee Anzhu also quickly replied.
Xuande looked at the two bowls of soup in front of her and sighed softly.
”Mistress, are we still continuing this matter?” Xiuping asked uneasily.
Xuande sighed heavily again, and raised her head to ask, ”Have you finished arranging everything on your side?”
”It has been arranged. There definitely won't be a problem.” ”Yes.” Xiuping nodded.
”Xiuping, this matter is extremely important. You know that the reason Li An Zhu left such a hidden message for us is all because of the palace maid who betrayed her. If you sell me out, then I will also die.” Xuande stared at Xiuping as she spoke.
Mistress, this servant knows that you are treating this servant so well, this servant would rather die than tell anyone else. This matter was handled by this servant from the beginning to the end of my life, the one who asked for the medicine was a distant cousin who rarely came back from the Western Regions, and this servant also took advantage of the fact that this servant took advantage of the fact that An Chang was not around, pretending to look for the palace maid who was cleaning the house and secretly let the medicine go.
Xuande nodded, her eyes somewhat dull, ”Xiuping, do you think I'm wrong? The bad guys should go where the bad guys should go. Rong'er, Zhi Zhi, and Cheng Xue are all kind and kind people, and she had the heart to hurt them, but I can't find any proof that she did it. I can only do this, I'm doing a good thing for this palace, aren't I? ”
”Understood, Mistress. This servant understands.” ”Master has always been on guard against An Chang. She knows Master's worries.” Sigh! It's the same for the empress dowager. Back then, the punishment on An Chang Zai was too light. ”
Xuande forced a smile and shook her head. ”How could a girl like you guess what the empress dowager's thoughts were? When was it? The capital had experienced an unprecedented earthquake. Everyone was talking about the divine punishment. What was the origin of the divine punishment? Outside or inside? What would the people of the world have said about the Emperor if at that time there had been crimes committed by the security forces. She thought that Li Anzhu would improve after this lesson, but how much time has the empress dowager spent with Li Anzhu, meeting her face from side to side, and being so obedient in front of the empress dowager? I moved to Yonghe Palace and watched over her every day, so the answer to the question of how she would treat her palace maid and what her palace maid had to say, can't be any clearer. ”
”Mistress's words make a lot of sense.” Xiu Ping nodded.
”So, the fastest way is to cut the grass by its roots … ”But …” Xuande was a little depressed as she said, ”How could a concubine come at such a coincidental moment? Originally, I didn't want to involve anyone in this matter, but now that she's here, the fact is that she's involved is a good thing. The emperor will pay more attention to her and is more persuasive, but he's afraid that she'll be implicated when the time comes.” Xuande said worriedly.
”Mistress, this servant is still afraid. This medicine is more or less suitable. Although I have already prepared the antidote, I still need to go through the imperial physician's examination. What if …” Xiu Ping said worriedly.
”I'll take a gamble, I'll bet on myself, otherwise I'll be killed by Lee Anson too. It's hard to guard against, I don't want to live a life of suspicion and caution, my mind is tired, I also want to live a simple life.” Xuande closed her eyes, opened them, ”Put the medicine in.”
”Yes …” Trembling, Xiuping poured a medicinal herb's juice into the soup that Lee Anzhu brought over.
Xuande lifted up the bowl of soup, and without hesitation, picked up the spoon, gulping down the entire bowl of soup one mouthful at a time …
