Chapter 44 I Can Help You
Meng Jiayi's footsteps softened and she took a few steps back. Fortunately, Nian Xia supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

She shook her head and pushed Nian Xia's hand away: "No, he won't fall in love with anyone. He can't lie to me."

Nian Xia hesitated to speak, and finally whispered: "Mother, what should we do next?"

Meng Jiayi took a deep look at the direction in which the two disappeared, and turned around: "First find out the inexplicable deaths of these 30 people, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Nian Xia was silent for a moment, then continued: "Mother, my uncle is here to urge me again."

Meng Jiayi took a deep breath: "Ignore it."

Nian Xia looked at the back of Meng Jiayi as she left, then at the direction Xu Anan and the others were leaving, and finally gritted her teeth and followed Meng Jiayi. Her queen should not be treated like this.

…………

Ziwei Palace

Cheng Huai also watched Xu Anan eat the entire lunch.

He didn't understand, looking at such a slender person, how he could eat so much. Normally, he would probably have a lot of leftover food when he ate alone, but since he ate with Xu An'an.

Ok……

Operation CD is very good, there is no such situation of wasting food anymore.

Under Cheng Huai's probing gaze, Xu Anan ate as steadily as a rock. Nothing was more important than filling her stomach. She drank the last mouthful of soup and sighed with contentment on her face.

Then he looked at Cheng Huaiye and asked, "Your Majesty, are you full?"

"Ah."

Fuling immediately sent the palace servants to clear the table. Seeing that Cheng Huai hadn't left yet, Xu Anan rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "Do you still want a hug?"

Fu Ling listened quietly with her ears pricked up, with a look of relief on her face. Her mother-in-law had become successful and knew that she had taken the initiative, so she walked out very wisely and closed the door.

Cheng Huai also moved his chair back and made a "sting" sound, then stood up and strode out: "No need."

After Cheng Huai also left, Xu Anan called out: "Poria."

Fu Ling walked in: "What's the matter?"

"Are you ready with the pots, pans, pans and ingredients I want you to prepare?"

Fu Ling nodded: "It's all in the small kitchen."

"Where's the flour?"

Fu Ling took out a piece of white flour wrapped in oil paper from her arms and wondered: "Empress, what do you want flour for?"

Xu Anan took it and put it into the Qiankun bag: "It's useful. By the way, where's the forsythia?"

Seeing that Xu Anan asked about Forsythia, Fuling quickly said: "They are outside. Are you looking for her?"

Xu Anan stood up, stretched, yawned and walked inside: "Let her wash the dishes. I'll go to sleep for a while. If Sister Hu comes, remember to call me."

Poria closed the door when she went out. Forsythia was ordering Qu'er to pick up the fallen leaves and fallen petals from the flower bed behind.

Qu'er lowered her head and responded submissively, but was pulled by Fu Ling. She looked at Forsythia: "Just let her scan it, and let her pick it up with her hands. It has to be picked up in what month." Already?"

Forsythia's eyes became much colder: "You mean I can't order a little third-class palace maid anymore?"

Fu Ling frowned: "That's not what I meant... I just think it's too embarrassing for you to do this." Forsythia was almost laughed out of anger. She and Fu Ling were both the eldest maids of Xu Anan, and now she was just ordering a little maid to do everything. It's really boring to be blamed.

Qu'er bit her lip and tightened her hand on the broom: "Miss Poria, Miss Forsythia, please stop arguing. I'll go pick it up. I'm used to this job. It's very simple. I must finish it before dinner."

Forsythia sneered: "If you can't finish picking it up, you won't even be able to eat your dinner."

Qu'er responded in a low voice: "No."

It wasn't until Qu'er walked away that Fuling looked at Forsythia disapprovingly: "What's going on with you? Why are you targeting a little palace maid like her?"

When Forsythia heard Fuling's accusation, the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed: "Fuling, I am the empress's eldest maid. This morning she ignored me and took Qu'er to Fengyi Palace. What's the matter? Since the empress After I came back from the cold palace, I only went out with her once, and she will always only care about you."

"From before to now, I can always be behind you."

Forsythia's language was a bit extreme, and their quarrel attracted several eunuchs and maids to look around. Poria didn't want to argue in public, so she said: "Forsythia, it's not what you think. The empress also values ​​you. Just now she asked you Woolen cloth."

Forsythia calmed down a bit at this time and asked: "What does the empress want me to do?"

Fu Ling said happily: "Your Majesty wants you to go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. She is going to make hot pot with Hu Cairen in the afternoon."

Wash the vegetables?

Forsythia "Haha" sneered twice: "This kind of vulgar palace servant's job reminds me of me? Poria, she doesn't value me at all."

The smile on Poria's face froze, and Forsythia left her again and ran out.

"Forsythia!"

Watching Forsythia running out of the Ziwei Palace again, Poria was really angry with her. How could washing dishes be something a vulgar palace official would do?
It was obviously because the empress reassured her that she allowed her to wash it, but she just felt that it was an insult.

Fuling frowned, looking a little disappointed. She didn't know when Forsythia's behavior became more and more weird. Fuling thought about it carefully. It was from the first time the emperor came to Ziwei Palace that she had changed. It's strange. Although she often asked Xu Anan to compete for favors in the past year, she was not as extreme as now.

Fu Ling couldn't figure it out and had to wash the vegetables by herself. She didn't feel comfortable handing over the food to other palace residents. What if someone had evil intentions and drugged her?
Anyway, in this deep palace, you should be careful if you can.

After Forsythia ran out, she regretted it, but she really didn't want to do the kind of things that low-level palace people do, so she gave up on herself and ran to a remote corner. There was a small fish pond here, and Forsythia pulled the flowers bit by bit. Throw it into the pool.

At worst, she would be punished if she went back. After thinking about it, she would sit by the pool with her knees in her arms.

"Tsk, tsk, how pitiful, like an abandoned dog in the water."

A female voice sounded suddenly, and Forsythia turned back instantly: "Who?"

A figure walked out from behind a big tree: "Don't be nervous, it's me."

Forsythia's lips parted slightly: "You..."

She walked to Forsythia, looked at the calm lake water and sighed: "I heard what you and Poria said, and I probably guessed a little bit of your thoughts. Forsythia, if you have ambitions, you have to wait and see if some people agree." You’re not allowed to climb up.”

Forsythia stood up and looked at her coldly: "I have no ambitions. I just want to serve my mother-in-law well."

"Oh, is it?"

This slightly mocking tone made Forsythia blush.

She continued: "Forsythia, why do you have to deceive yourself? Instead of relying on others for promotion, it is better to rely on yourself to climb up. Don't worry, our goals are the same, and I can help you."
