The world is heavy and late

Chapter 22 Friends ([-])

Xia Qing walked on the palace road, but at this time the palace road was no longer empty, and there were no more servants and maids walking with their heads bowed, only them and a group of imperial guards followed.

Xia Qing didn't walk with his head down as usual, nor did he look around like when no one was around.

She straightened her back and looked straight ahead. She felt that she was no different from walking on the Sansheng Bridge. She had reached the place of death. Now Xia Qing felt a little more at ease, whether it was a dream or not. It's over.

But she was still different from the last time. When she was immersed in the lake, she seemed to have nothing to worry about, but this time she still wanted to cry for some reason.

She thought that Wu Xiaoyuan might be very scared, and thought that she would probably be bullied in the future, because she couldn't bear to hurt others, but in fact, in the palace, kindness is the least important thing, and she would hurt herself.

But she actually thinks about Xu Zhong the most, she thinks she likes him, likes his straight back, likes his firm eyes, likes him frowning and talking about herself.

But she won't say this love, she doesn't like to hand over her feelings for others to weigh, as if weighing it on a scale, to see if the weight is worth it, and she should give a little sincerity, if it is worth it, she should How much sincerity to pay.

She doesn't like it, she never expects the so-called love from others, because she knows that most of it is unqualified.

Her love doesn't require the other party to become better for herself, whether it's a little eunuch or the next chief executive, she likes it all, whether he's hardworking or mediocre, she likes both.

But most love is conditional, including parental love, she wants you to be better, wants you to be successful, wants you to be famous, wants you to be admired.

Xia Qing thought about it slowly, and slowly her heart calmed down again. She was a little bit reluctant to part with Xu Zhong...

After all, there is still someone she cares about in this world.

……

Here Xia Qing went all the way to the gate of Ganlu Hall, and in the Sishan Division over there, Wu Xiaoyuan watched Xia Qing disappear.Staring blankly at the direction Xia Qing left, she slowly returned to the dormitory. She asked Shen Hui, "What did you do?"

Shen Hui first took a look outside, and when she found no one was there, she went to Wu Xiaoyuan's side, reached out to hold Wu Xiaoyuan's hand, Wu Xiaoyuan took it out of Shen Hui's hand, and turned her head to look at her.

Shen Hui looked at Wu Xiaoyuan's withdrawn hand and thought indifferently that she might be the one who asked me later, but she still said sincerely and sadly:

"Xiaoyuan, don't do stupid things, I was also forced to do nothing."

Wu Xiaoyuan sneered, and said, "If you are forced to do nothing, then all those who do bad things are forced to do nothing."

The current Wu Xiaoyuan is a bit different from the previous Wu Xiaoyuan. When she looked at people with her eyes, Shen Hui felt a little guilty and turned her head uncomfortably:
"That Concubine Shu wants to be poisoned, and Empress Jieyu wants to be framed, no one in the palace can stop it."

Wu Xiaoyuan said in disbelief:
"You lied, how could someone want to be poisoned and framed, is it you who poisoned me?"

Shen Hui turned her head and said:
"Xiaoyuan, don't even think about it. The target of poisoning in the catering department is so obvious. There are people watching the meals from morning to night. Naturally, the two of you who deliver the meals know whether anyone wants you to poison them. The concubine Shu Where does the poison come from?"

Wu Xiaoyuan shook her head:

"Impossible, why are they doing this?"

Shen Hui said indifferently:
"How would I know, but you think that Concubine Shu is from the Wang family, and Empress Jieyu is from the Cui family. They are both first-class big families. If they want to poison a beautiful woman in the palace, they can do it. They are just how hard it is to poison themselves, and the lives of us maids are worthless, so I dare not do what they ask me to do?."

Now Wu Xiaoyuan has to believe even if she doesn't want to, Shen Hui said:
"Xiaoyuan, don't think I'm ruthless. You see, Xia Qing is willing to take on this matter, so why don't you hold on to it? Just tell the court lady who came to inquire, you never know about that, and we don't know anything about it. Would it be said that those things were given to her by Zhong Cui's palace attendant, isn't that what Xia Qing wants?"

After she finished speaking, she sat back beside Wu Xiaoyuan with a gloomy gaze, stretched out her hand to hold Wu Xiaoyuan's hand and said:

"Xiaoyuan, think about it, have I been by your side since I entered the catering department? How could I want to harm you? I was forced to do so. Now Xia Qing is willing to save our lives Is it okay if we don't accept her love? That is, we will burn more paper money for her on the festival day and remember her. In the future, we will go to Cui Jieyu's palace. Good maid, even in front of the ladies, we are all somewhat respectable, Xiao Yuan, don't disappoint Xia Qing and me."

Shen Hui finished speaking slowly, feeling a little relieved in her heart, because she was not very willing when Cui Jieyu gave orders.

But Cui Jieyu said that she would be able to go to Ganlu Palace after the matter was completed. Most importantly, Cui Jieyu also said that there is a young master in their branch who is studying. Shen Hui never thought that she would have such luck as a concubine.

She thought proudly that at that time she was running behind Wu Xiaoyuan and was very attentive to her, but she only had that sister Xia in her eyes. Only then was the quota determined.

She originally wanted Xia Qing and Wu Xiaoyuan to have an accident together, but she didn't expect Xia Qing to be so sensitive and so stupid, since this is also good, Xia Qing will never be around, and Wu Xiaoyuan will stay, it's her turn I came to beg her, thinking about her future life, she only felt proud and excited.

Sitting on the bed, Wu Xiaoyuan felt chills all over her body. It turns out that as long as these big shots think about it, these court ladies will find ways to jump off the cliff on their own initiative.

After this thrilling day, Wu Xiaoyuan only felt tired, but she was not stupid. Shen Hui wanted them to take the blame and gave her a silver hairpin. Then what did she do to Sister Xia? Why couldn't Sister Xia be found? She had to figure this out quickly, before those people did anything, before... sister Xia confessed.

"Thank you, sister Shen, but why can't sister Xia find her things?"

"Of course, I know she is sensitive, so I put things on the rockery next to Jinghu Lake, hum, who doesn't know that she often goes to Jinghu Lake, when the time comes..."

Shen Hui was complacent for a moment, and answered before she could react. She paused at this point, and turned her head to look dangerously at Wu Xiaoyuan.

"Xiaoyuan, my sister really saved your life, you don't want to think about my sister's tricks, do you?"

Wu Xiaoyuan smiled coldly:
"How come, my sister, go out and stay with them, lest others suspect my sister, I want to be alone."

Shen Hui narrowed her eyes and glanced at Wu Xiaoyuan, turned around and went out the door, but didn't go there, and waited for a while to see that Wu Xiaoyuan really didn't intend to come out before leaving.

It is indeed better for her to stay with others now. After all, if something happens in the palace, people who act alone are always more dangerous than those who act in groups.

Half an hour after Shen Hui left, Wu Xiaoyuan opened the door and walked towards Jinghu.
