Empress, she is rising step by step

"How do you serve Zhuying? Zhu Baolin is so thinly dressed and doesn't know whether to wear thicker clothes. What should I do if I catch a cold?"

"Empress, I don't blame Zhuying, it's my concubine who refuses to wear it. I don't feel cold."

Zhu Ci defended Zhuying, it was just cold outside but the house was very warm.

Hua Jingyun's eyes were gentle but with an invisible majesty.

"I know that you two, master and servant, have a good relationship, but as a servant of the palace, sometimes you cannot let your master do whatever you want, and you should be warned appropriately. Zhu Baolin has just been cold for a while, if he gets cold again, I and the Emperor will be worried."

It sounded like it was for her own good, but Zhu Ci clearly felt an invisible hostility. It seems that the queen has been dissatisfied with her for a long time, and is not as calm and unconcerned as she showed.

Zhuying took some thick clothes and put them on Zhu Ci, "I didn't think carefully about what the queen said. I know I was wrong. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Hua Jingyun smiled slightly and said nothing, and soon Li Quan arrived. He collected the oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Xiao Fuzi. The hem of his robe was heavily soaked by the rain.

"Your Majesty, this servant went to Tangli Residence to investigate. The strong wind blew down the candle in the lantern, igniting the dry wood and burning it into the main hall. The doors and windows were not locked."

Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Cao Wenxi. Cao Wenxi was stunned for a moment. Yes, if she really did it, she would never leave anyone with an excuse.

"Really? Then maybe I was frightened and remembered it wrongly."

Shen Que glanced at Cao Wenxi suspiciously. Her plain face was bloodless and her eyes were swollen like two cherries.

"It's good that everyone is fine. I didn't think carefully and forgot that Tangli Residence is rarely inhabited and is dangerous."

Hua Jingyun turned to Shen Que and said, "Your Majesty, let's ask Cao Baolin to live in Qifeng Palace. Cao Baolin and Zhu Baolin are like sisters, and they get along easily. They can detect any accidents in time."

Zhu Ci glanced at Hua Jingyun calmly. The queen's move was really powerful. She let Cao Baolin live in Qifeng Palace. When the emperor came to her palace in the future, she always persuaded the emperor to go and see Cao Baolin.

If she doesn't follow the circle, others will say that she is one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. The eldest sister calls Cao Baolin short and the short sister calls her Cao Baolin. She doesn't remember to think about Cao Baolin even when she is favored.

Zhu Ci was about to refuse, but she heard Shen Que's voice, "No."

Shen Que paused and looked at Hua Jingyun, "Lu Yunv died because she was bitten by a mouse. I was afraid that she was infected with the plague, so I ordered someone to fume it with mugwort. She has to be left vacant for a while. , Cao... Baolin is weak, if he catches the plague, wouldn't he suffer in vain?"

Hua Jingyun nodded, not embarrassed by Shen Que's refusal.

"What the emperor said is absolutely true. It's because the concubine has not thought well. Then the emperor thinks where is the right place for Cao Baolin to live? Cao Baolin is here at Zhu Baolin. It's fine for a day or two, but it won't sound good if it gets spread for a long time."

Shen Que thought for a while and said, "Changle Palace. Only Shen Xiurong lives in Changle Palace. It just so happened that Cao Baolin went over to be Shen Xiurong's companion."

For Cao Wenxi, as long as she is not asked to live in Tangli Residence any longer, it will be the end of the world.

"Concubine, thank you so much, Your Majesty, and thank you so much, Queen."

"Well, if you need anything, just tell the queen." Shen Que patted his knee and stood up.

"It's already very late. You should all go to bed early." He reached out and pinched Zhu Ci's face.

"I'm leaving. I'll come see you another day." "Concubine, I send you to your Majesty, the Queen." Zhu Ci saw Shen Que and Hua Jingyun walking outside side by side. They looked very well matched.

Li Quan picked up the umbrella, and Shen Que suddenly took it from his hand and placed it above Hua Jingyun's head.

"Go to the Queen's Palace."

After Shen Que and Hua Jingyun left, Zhu Ci asked Cao Wenxi to live in the side hall and asked Zhuying to bring her two newly made quilts.

Early the next morning, the news about Tangliju's escape spread, and many people said that Cao Wenxi was an unknown person. Because of her, Wenmei and the unborn emperor felt inexplicably uncomfortable and could not find out the cause.

She was almost burned to death the night she moved to Tangli Residence. It wasn't because of her bad luck. The palace had not been in trouble for many years. Why did it happen to be Tangli Residence that night?

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Those people like to talk nonsense behind their backs. In my opinion, Sister Cao, you are a lucky person. Otherwise, why did the heavy rain save my sister?"

"I can understand what they said. It's really too much of a coincidence."

Cao Wenxi's slender eyelashes trembled, "Changle Palace is also good, and Shen Xiurong is also easy to get along with. I hope I can live there longer and not be disliked by others anymore."

"Did Sister Cao really remember wrongly that the doors and windows were not locked from the outside? Or did she deliberately tell the Queen and the Emperor that she didn't want to make the matter a big deal?"

Zhu Ci originally thought it was a beautiful woman who did it. Despite her intelligence, she could come up with such a vicious method, but she didn't know the aftermath.

She asked Xiao Yinzi to inform the emperor and queen, and then someone would know about it. Beautiful people would not have such great ability.

"No matter what the possibility is, it doesn't matter anymore. With my current ability, I can't do anything to the other party."

Cao Wenxi put down the porridge bowl. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Ci quietly, her eyes as dark as a silent black pool.

"Sister, you saved me twice. Thank you, really. If possible, I will repay these two kindnesses. Of course, I hope you will never need my repayment. That means you are not in danger."

After a simple breakfast at Qifeng Palace, Cao Wenxi and Zhu Ci parted ways and walked to Changle Palace.

Although Changle Palace is not very close to the emperor's bedroom and the queen's Zhaoyang Palace, the surrounding scenery is unique, it is close to Qianyu Pond, and there is no noise to disturb it. It is many times better than Tangli Ju.

The most important thing is that Shen Xiurong is a good-tempered person who treats people kindly, and does not treat her like a thorn in his flesh like a literary beauty.

She could take a breath for the moment and think about what to do next?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that someone was looking at him. Cao Wenxi looked up and saw a thin figure hiding in the shadows under the ginkgo tree beside the red wall, looking this way.

Seeing her looking over, he turned his head away again, lowering his head and busying himself with what he was doing.

Cao Wenxi just pretended not to see it and left directly. After the people walked away, Lin Guanqi raised his eyes again. He watched in trance as the pretty figure walked further and further away until it turned into a blurry dot.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Hey, everyone has gone away, are you still looking?"

The little table also looked at the direction Cao Wenxi left and sighed heavily.

"Cao Baolin is really pitiful. He has been ill since he entered the palace. He finally got better, and he was said to be an unknown person. He was almost burned to death by a fire last night. Fortunately, God is kind, and I It rained heavily, otherwise I’m afraid he would have turned into a skeleton long ago.”
