Empress, she is rising step by step

Bai Xinrui glared, "You sincerely want to make me unhappy, don't you? It's your business whether you want it or not. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away. I must give it to you, but I don't want to be talked about. Say that I He is ungrateful."

She brushed her hair away from her face and turned to look at the lake. The evening wind ruffled the surface of the lake, creating waves, and the mandarin ducks rose and fell leisurely with the waves.

"If you are nagging, I will ask someone to sew your mouth shut, so that you can be clean."

Zhu Ci was used to Bai Xinrui's hot temper, so she didn't think it was anything. She is typically hard-spoken and soft-hearted at times, and it is difficult for others to lead her well.

"Don't be angry, your Majesty. Just listen to your Majesty in everything."

There was already a ship coming this way, and Zhu Ci's voice was blown far and near by the wind, "It happened suddenly just now, and I almost tripped. Is your Majesty, please pay attention to who did it?"

Bai Xinrui's eyes darkened a bit, "I was so flustered at the time that I didn't take a closer look at who did it."

But it shouldn't be Concubine Shu and the others. They are still a certain distance away from where she is, and even if they want to harm her, they are more than willing and powerless.

At that time, the only people around her besides Zhu Ci were Yan Baolin, De Fei and Cao Baolin. But she really couldn't decide who did it.

"I only had one thought at that time, which was that I would rather have something happen to me than the child in my belly. How can I have time to take care of other things."

Zhu Ci also didn't see who did it. When she went to pull Yan Baolin, Xu Tingyue and Cao Wenxi were still beside Bai Xinrui. By the time Bai Xinrui was tripped and fell, Xu Tingyue and Cao Wenxi had already disappeared.

"In any case, I hope your Majesty is fine. Fortunately, there is no danger. Your Majesty and the little prince in your belly must be careful in the future."

"Don't worry, I know it well. Anyone who harms the child in my belly will have trouble with me. Even if I chase her to the underworld, I will not let her go."

The boat had stopped at the shore. Bai Xinrui stretched out her hands to straighten the wrinkles in her clothes, and her face returned to its former delicate and savage look.

"I'm tired too, so I'll leave first. If you have nothing to do, don't wander around. Go back to your palace and rest."

Zhu Ci responded, helped Bai Xinrui get on the boat, and watched the boat slowly leave until it disappeared into the lush green.

"Hong Xiu hasn't touched my Pipa recently, has she?"

Zhuying shook her head, "No. I have been keeping a close eye on you, but I didn't see anything wrong with Hongxiu. She didn't even step into the master's bedroom? Is the master suspicious that it was Hongxiu who did it?"

"I'm just a little suspicious. This thing is obviously aimed at me. I can only rule it out one by one to determine who did it."

Zhu Ci frowned and thought, "It seems that someone expected that I would place the pipa in the side hall, so they did something in the side hall."

By the time Zhu Ci returned to Qifeng Palace, the sun was setting, and the last ray of light fell on the flying eaves.

Cui Lan was setting up a swing in the yard with Xiao Yinzi. Zhu Ci stopped and looked at them.

"What are you doing?"

"Master is back?" Cui Lan and Xiao Yinzi saw that Zhu Ci was back and hurriedly put down their work and came to greet him.

Cui Lan's face was full of smiles, "Didn't the master say that he wanted to admire the moon and stars at night? So the slave girl and Xiao Yinzi thought of setting up a swing. This way, the master can enjoy the moon and stars in the yard."

"It's already so late, so don't be busy now. It won't be too late to do it again tomorrow."

Zhu Ci looked around, frowned and asked, "Where's Hongxiu? Why didn't you see her?" Xiao Yinzi replied: "Go back to the master, some new pieces of silk and satin have arrived from the Shangfu Bureau. Hongxiu went to get the silk and satin, and then Just left for a while."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhu Ci's wrist. Seeing that it was wrapped with layers of gauze, he asked nervously.

"Why is the master injured? Is the injury serious?"

Seeing Xiao Yinzi's concerned face, he was extremely worried. Zhuying didn't think much about it and just assumed that he was as worried about his master's safety as she was.

"Don't mention it. The imperial concubine went to enjoy the flowers and almost tripped. The master accidentally injured his wrist in order to save the imperial concubine."

Zhu Ci saw Cui Lan and Xiao Yinzi's faces full of concern. She smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. The imperial doctor said it was just a sprained tendon and no broken bones."

"Go ahead and make a bowl of almond cheese. After all this fuss today, the master hasn't eaten much yet." Zhuying ordered Cuilan.

Cui Lan responded hurriedly and went to the small kitchen to prepare almond cheese.

Zhu Ci entered the room, and his vision suddenly became dim. She walked to the couch by the window and sat down. The reflection of the trees outside the window was mottled on the window paper.

"You weren't seen by anyone, were you?"

Xiao Yinzi replied, "Master, don't worry, I'm being careful. I came back immediately after finishing my work without letting anyone see it."

Zhu Ci nodded. Bai Xinrui's favorite thing is Lingxiao flowers. When she goes to Lingxiao Island, she will definitely go to enjoy the flowers.

Suddenly, she could invite others to go and enjoy the flowers, but Concubine De was one step ahead of her and invited everyone to go and enjoy the flowers, which saved her from having to say this.

Before she went to the island, she had discussed it with Xiao Yinzi and asked him to find an opportunity to secretly go to the island and place the snakes in a place where the Lingxiao flowers are densely populated.

The snake has been starved for several days and will definitely become extremely ferocious when it sees its prey. Once a venomous snake bites someone, it doesn't matter who is bitten. As long as this matter becomes a big deal and the emperor becomes angry and orders an investigation into the matter, Zhuang Cairen will be in chaos.

With her IQ, she sold herself out before the emperor could find any evidence.

Zhuying made some hot tea, turned around and handed it to Zhu Ci, and then hung up the curtain hanging on the ground again.

She curiously asked Xiao Yinzi, "There is only one waterway from Qiandao Lake to Lingxiao Island. How did you get up there? No matter how good you are in water, the lake is so big. I'm afraid it will be dark by the time you swim to the island. .”

"After all, I have been in the palace for so many years. Not to mention that everything is clear, but I still know a little bit about where there are trails and which places are close to the island."

Xiao Yinzi said: "There are actually several roads to Lingxiao Island, but they are all difficult to walk, and there are reeds everywhere. I was afraid of hurting you ladies, so I abandoned several other roads and only left one with smooth water flow. Wide waterways.”

Zhuying understood and joked: "I usually see you being silent, but I didn't expect you to be so secretive."

"To do things in the palace, just one skill is not enough. There is always no harm in knowing more. Sister Zhuying, please stop teasing me."

Xiao Yinzi smiled a little sheepishly and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Ci. Looking at her lowered eyes, her slender eyelashes fell on her face, leaving a shadow like a jackdaw.

"Why does my slave look at my master with such a bad expression?"

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I originally wanted to play a piece of music on my pipa. Who knew that Wen Meiren suddenly wanted to borrow my pipa? As a result, the string of the pipa suddenly broke and scratched Wen Meiren's face. It was such a long gash, it was simply shocking.
