Chapter 119 Guards
Emperor Liang sometimes woke up and sometimes fell asleep, his state was uncertain, and all the attention of the whole palace was on him.In this way, it made it much easier for Zhuyan to search for news.
It didn't take much effort for her to get what she wanted.
"Princess, in the past few months, these people have changed in Zhao Cairen's palace."
Song Qing'an took the roster from Zhu Yan and looked at it carefully.
Among them were eunuchs, maidservants, and guards.
It is common for servants in the harem to change, but for Zhao Cairen, a small and low-ranking concubine, there were too many people changing.
The servants and eunuchs who serve are fine, but the guards...
Ordinary masters would not change guards easily.
Song Qingan's eyes stayed on the guard's name.
After a long time, a smile appeared on her lips.
"I know that Zhao Cairen is timid and cowardly, that's why Concubine Chen manipulated her like that. But I didn't expect...she was so bold."
Song Qing'an was talking to himself, and then took a deep look at the names of the guards on the roster, and then burned the roster.
"Zhuyan, go to the warehouse to find some medicine for health, let's go and see Zhao Cairen."
Song Qing'an put his cheek in one hand, thought for a while, and added: "By the way, bring the white porcelain with you."
The smile on her face deepened, but it didn't reach her eyes: "It should be returned to the original owner."
Zhu Yan lowered her head and retreated in response.
-
When Song Qing'an arrived, Zhao Cairen was quietly pruning flower branches in the inner hall.
She didn't seem surprised to hear the maidservant's message.
"Greetings to the princess."
She saluted in a low voice, and Song Qingan stepped forward to help her up.
"The talented person is not yet healed, so he should take good care of it."
With a soft voice, Song Qing'an ordered Zhu Yan to present the things.
"This is the tonic medicine that His Majesty bestowed upon me when I was ill before, so don't worry about taking it."
"How can the concubine be so favored by the princess?"
Zhao Cairen frowned slightly, and wanted to shirk.
"Just accept it, it's not a favor."
Song Qing'an's eyes were dark, and he was taken aback by Zhao Cairen.
After a while, Zhao Cairen hooked the corners of his lips: "Yes. The concubine accepted it."
"It doesn't seem surprising that Cairen saw me?"
Song Qing'an was a little curious, and sat down beside Zhao Cairen very naturally.
"The princess took away my concubine's things that day, and the concubine knew that one day, the princess would come."
Zhao Cairen smiled gently and cut off another branch.
"I hope that talented people don't blame me." Song Qing'an said, giving Zhu Yan a wink.After a while, two palace servants entered the inner hall holding white porcelain vases.
"Where do you want to put the talent?"
Zhao Cairen's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed: "Let's put it away wherever you have time. Sure enough, this thing, I can't get rid of it."
Song Qing quietly watched her pruning the flower branches for a while, and said, "I thought that talented people would never want to see flowers again."
Zhao Cairen lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "It's clearly a human's fault, so what does it have to do with Hua? If you blame it for this, wouldn't it be quite heartless."
"Too."
Song Qing'an stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the petals: "Such a beautiful thing shouldn't be stained with dirt and blood."
Zhao Cairen's hand holding the scissors seemed to be stiff.
She was silent for a while, put down the scissors, and looked seriously at Song Qing'an: "The last time I was in Weiyang Palace...thank you, Princess."
"It's nothing more than a little effort, talented people don't have to worry about it."
Song Qing'an concentrated on studying the petals, and dealt with it casually.
"The princess relieved the concubine's troubles that day, and the concubine will naturally remember it in her heart."
Zhao Cairen smiled lightly, and took the teacup from Caiyi: "Princess, moisten your throat. The tea here is not as good as that in the princess's palace. I hope the princess will not be disgusted."
Song Qing'an didn't go to pick it up, and looked past Zhao Cairen to Caiyi: "Caiyi?"
"What is the princess' order?"
Caiyi blessed her body and asked respectfully.
"It seems that I remember correctly, that day...you made a great contribution."
Song Qing'an smiled and took the teacup.
"Princess's high reputation...is the job of a maidservant."
Zhao Cairen's tea is indeed inferior, and the fragrance of the tea is weak.Song Qing'an blew, and took a sip: "Ordinary palace maids are not as courageous as Caiyi. Zhao Cairen...is really lucky to have such a maid."
"The princess was joking." Zhao Cairen bowed his head in thanks, but secretly winked to let Caiyi back down.
Song Qing'an saw it clearly, but didn't expose it.
She looked around and sighed: "Zhao Cairen has gone through such a thing. Didn't your majesty and concubine Chen reward you?"
Zhao Cairen's face froze: "I dare not ask extravagantly for rewards from Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Your Majesty's willingness to give my concubine the white porcelain from the Ding kiln is a great compliment."
"The talent is too angry." Song Qing'an looked at her with a half-smile, "Does the talent not want to, or is he afraid?"
"I don't understand what the princess means."
Zhao Cairen only lost his mind for a moment, and immediately responded calmly.
"Don't talented people really understand?"
Song Qing'an took the scissors on the desk, and gestured to the flower branch to cut it.Seeing Zhao Cairen leaning forward slightly, there was a little nervousness in his eyes.
"Is Saito curious, what am I here to do?"
Zhao Cairen turned his eyes away and said in a low voice, "I haven't."
"Cai Ren really can hold his breath, no wonder the concubine Chen has a crush on Cai Ren."
Song Qing'an raised his eyelids, his eyes trembling: "Do you still remember... Huo Xuan?"
She saw that Zhao Cairen was obviously shocked after hearing this name, and looked up in disbelief.
Zhao Cairen blinked, realized his gaffe, and quickly covered it up with a smile: "I don't know who the princess is talking about."
"He was the guard in your palace before, don't you remember?"
"A concubine often lives in the palace, how can she recognize the guards?"
Zhao Cairen said softly, but the hands under the sleeves were clenched tightly.
"If talented people don't recognize him, why send him away?"
Song Qingan folded his hands and supported his chin, his face was still full of smiles, but his eyes became more and more unfathomable, like a pool of stagnant water.
Zhao Cairen felt chills on the back of his neck for no reason, and was deliberating how to reply.
"It doesn't matter if the talent doesn't answer, I already know."
Song Qing'an lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering most of his pupils.Her tone and expression were too determined, making Zhao Cairen uncertain for a moment.
Knowing that Song Qing'an might not really know anything, Zhao Cairen was still flustered.
She forced herself to calm down: "I don't know what the princess is talking about."
"How can talented people not know? I think talented people are actually very clear, right?"
The sunlight hitting the window lattice was a bit dazzling, Song Qingan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became more and more elusive.
In fact, in her mind, it was just a guess.
So she couldn't speak first, if she made a mistake... all previous efforts would be wasted.She wanted Zhao Cairen to speak out by himself.
"Is anyone aware of the maid next to Concubine Chen, Miss Dongruo?"
Zhao Cairen didn't understand what he meant, but still nodded.
"It's a coincidence that when I went to Concubine Chen's palace yesterday, I heard Dong Ruo calling a guard to do something. The guard called..." Song Qing'an purposely fell silent, as if trying to remember, "... oh , seems to be called Huo Xuan."
"Tairen, tell me, is it a coincidence?"
In fact, Song Qing'an didn't look for Concubine Chen at all yesterday, let alone where Huo Xuan was transferred.
She was just betting, and Zhao Cairen didn't know about the bet.
Zhao Cairen's complexion changed slightly, and a crack finally appeared on that calm face.
Ah, bet right.
Song Qingan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking happily in his heart.
