Chapter 269 Solving Puzzles (2)

Jiang Jinxiu thought for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Is it strange that the little palace lady died because of bumping into a pillar?"

"That's right, at first the little maid insisted that what she cooked was the stomach medicine she drank, but then she just slapped a few big mouths, and the concubine He and Concubine Jing, who are in charge of the harem, have already arrived.

According to the reaction of a normal little maid, after suffering such a great grievance and slander, when she saw Concubine He, she would definitely cry and beg for her innocence.Even if it's against the rules to brew medicine privately, it's just a beating.In the end, he bumped into the pole by himself, and spent [-]% of it seriously, not pretending.It can only mean—"

"What does it mean?" Jiang Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "Does it mean that she is deliberately covering up for some people?"

Jiang Yuebai looked at her younger sister, showing a gratified smile, "It's very progressive. This shows that she has a very important handle or a very important person in the other party's hands, and she will never allow herself to make mistakes. This court lady is probably very He was afraid of pain and couldn't stand the torture, so he died."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jinxiu suddenly understood, but she was even more confused.

"Afraid of pain, shouldn't you be more afraid of death?"

Jiang Yuebai froze for a moment, then said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid of pain, and I'm also afraid of death."

"Then sister is still a heroic woman who has killed countless enemies. Now it is spread all over the palace, about your legend of fighting an assassin bravely." Jiang Jinxiu's words were full of pride.

Many people have already said this to Jiang Yuebai, and she is a bit tired of responding to such words, but my sister is different, she is willing to answer all her questions sincerely:
"Because if you don't kill others, others will kill you. I still want to live a good life. If one day I have to die, I can't die in vain. I must die well and accomplish something."

[System: You must remind the host that your career plan includes smooth retirement and the end of life.If you are laid off early, please accept the lightning strike package. 】

Jiang Yuebai: Got it.

Jiang Jinxiu asked curiously, "How do you count as a worthy death?"

Jiang Yuebai: "Probably because I think it's worth it."

These words made Jiang Jinxiu feel a little depressed for a moment.

"Now I finally understand why my sister doesn't want to go to bed early and get pregnant. The strength is too small, too humble, and once she becomes pregnant, she becomes the object of jealousy of the entire harem, and the child is easily lost."

"Don't think too much," Jiang Yuebai glanced at Jiang Jinxiu, "It's useless to think about the key point. Just let nature take its course. If the emperor likes you, pamper you a few more times. After a long time, you will definitely become pregnant."

Jiang Jinxiu nodded hurriedly, a little curious, "Sister, why don't you say my sister is younger now?"

Jiang Yuebai had stopped entangled in this matter, and his tone was solemn and deep.

"If you come, you will be at peace. Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister at the age of ten, Murong Ke defeated Shi Hu at the age of 14, and Li Shimin started fighting at the age of 16. We are already in the harem, so we will do what the concubine of the harem should do, serve the emperor well, and hurry up Be pregnant and have a better time. By the way, sister, were you happy last night?"

It's not so much for my sister, but for myself.

This coincided with Jiang Jinxiu's thoughts on the road before. She blushed and said shyly, "Very happy. Your Majesty, he is fine."

Jiang Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Chuye was the most painful but also the most memorable. She was happy for her sister from the bottom of her heart: "That's good."

Jiang Jinxiu thought of those boxes of Durex, and asked with concern, "By the way, sister, Murong is often complaining about that matter, the emperor didn't make things difficult for sister, did he?"

"No." Jiang Yuebai turned her head in front of the bronze mirror, feeling that it was almost done.

Turning around, holding his sister's hand, he looked at her carefully, his eyes were full of cunning and cunning.

Why does it feel like my sister walks up the mountain to get off work every day, and her face looks much ruddy.

Looks like I need to exercise more.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Jiang Jinxiu felt a little uncomfortable being watched.

Jiang Yuebai held back her smile, raised her head and rested her chin, "I'm watching, my sister is such a beauty. No wonder the emperor likes it so much!"

She glanced at the little eunuch at the door, and slowly got up, "Jinxiu, the emperor called me to accompany him. We will talk when we come back in the evening."

"Well, good!" Jiang Jinxiu blushed, eyes full of envy, imitating her sister's tone and said solemnly, "My sister is such a beauty, no wonder the emperor likes it so much!"

Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Sister, you look so pretty when you smile." Jiang Jinxiu murmured.

Jiang Yuebai pinched Jiang Jinxiu's face, smiled without speaking, and went out with Susu.

"I like pinching my face anyway, obviously I don't have much flesh." Jiang Jinxiu looked at her sister's back and thought angrily.

Qinzheng Hall.

Li Beichen, who was dressed in a dragon robe, had a serious eyebrow, and was playing alone, sitting quietly, with a sense of wisdom and dignity.

Concubine Xia gave birth today, and he was not completely indifferent.But not for Concubine Xia, but for Concubine He.

The sadness and heartache in Hefei's eyebrows and eyes, others thought it was sympathy for Concubine Xia or acting.

The grief, he knew, was real, even repressed, for the child they had had between them.

It's just that after last night, the relationship between him and Concubine He has completely changed.Therefore, he hoped that he could have a child last night as Concubine He wished, which would be an explanation for their relationship for so many years.

As for Concubine Jing, if she dares to plot against the emperor's heir, even though she is the emperor's heir that I don't want, it is an unforgivable crime.

Take it easy.

Accompanied by the falling of the chess piece, Li Beichen's faint voice came, "Dafu, make some crescent white robes for me, embroidered with golden dragons on the collar and cuffs."

He planned to wear these clothes only when he was alone with Yuebai in the future, as a surprise for her.

"No," Xu Fuhai stepped forward, "Apart from the collar and cuffs, does the emperor have any other requirements?"

"No," Li Beichen took a sip of tea, looked up out of the window, with a smile on his lips.

He is waiting for the moonlight.

Not long after the words fell, there was a commotion outside, and the little eunuch said: "Concubine Jing is here."

Li Beichen's expression froze for a moment, and then he returned to normal. With a calm voice and a calm face, he raised his eyes and asked Xu Fuhai, "Did Prime Minister Xuan Chen enter the palace?"

"Return to the emperor, it has been announced, and a soft sedan chair has been arranged after entering the palace."

In Li Beichen's quiet eyes, there was a bit of banter, "Concubine Jing, please come in."

Concubine Jing is really refreshed today, she is more luxurious and beautiful than peony, when she comes in, the whole room is lit up.

"Your majesty~" Concubine Jing walked in front of the emperor with her mouth pouted, holding a stack of papers in her hand, and glanced at the chess game on the table, "The concubine stayed up most of the night in order to organize yesterday's meeting minutes according to the emperor's order. "

Li Beichen nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine. You put the minutes of the meeting on my desk. Go back early to catch up on sleep."

Concubine Jing suddenly felt very wronged: That's it?Isn't it cheap?When they write a reflection, they can get a chance to sleep for one night.I have been busy all night!

Pulling Li Beichen's sleeves to act coquettishly, "Don't the emperor love his concubines?"

Li Beichen bypassed the topic, "If my concubine is not sleepy, she can accompany me to finish this game of chess. You can choose one side."

Concubine Jing grew up in the prime minister's mansion since she was a child, and she seriously invited famous teachers in the capital to take various interest classes, remedial classes, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are compulsory homework for noble girls, and she put a lot of effort into it.

After looking at the chess game for a while, Bai Zi is obviously better at this time.

Concubine Jing smiled and said: "Since the emperor asked the concubine to choose, then the concubine will choose the white piece. After all, the emperor's chess skill is much higher than that of the concubine."

Although according to the classical Go rules, the high-ranking person holds the white, and the high-level person holds the white.But that's the beginning.
