Empress, she is rising step by step

Zhu Ci was afraid that she would choke, so she asked someone to bring her a bowl of soup, "What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid that my sister will be bored while she recovers from her injuries. I'll come over and play with her every day, okay?" Yan Qingshu blinked.

Zhu Ci immediately penetrated her and touched Yan Qingshu's forehead.

"Hmph, do you really want to accompany me, or are you just thinking about delicious food?"

Yan Qingshu covered her forehead and pouted, "Oh, good sister, don't expose me. If these two things don't conflict, I will be my sister. You agree."

Seeing that Yan Qingshu was eating with such appetite, Zhu Ci couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.

Cui Lan opened the curtain and came in from the outside, "Master, Cao Baolin is here."

Zhu Ci looked at Yan Qingshu and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"Call Cao Baolin to come in."

After a while, Cao Wenxi came in. Perhaps he was in high spirits during happy events, and Cao Wenxi was particularly radiant today.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed my sister and Yan Baolin from having breakfast."

"Hey, what are we sisters talking about?" Zhu Ci asked someone to serve tea.

"Sister Cao, have you eaten? If you don't mind, use some together."

After Cao Wenxi thanked Zhuying, he sat down and said, "I had eaten when I came here. I thought I could come here early so that I could talk to my sister more, but I didn't know that my sister and Yan Baolin were still having breakfast, so we bumped into each other."

She glanced at the dining table and said, "The food in the Imperial Concubine's Palace is delicious just by looking at it. It is worthy of Yongfu Palace and cannot be compared with other places."

"The imperial concubine's mother's family is powerful and she is pregnant with a dragon heir. Of course, all the good things are close to Yongfu Palace. I also injured my hand. This is how I got the glory."

Zhu Ci looked at Cao Wenxi's face carefully and said with a smile: "Sister Cao, I'm really happy to be able to have this day. I have suffered so much in the past, and now it's all worth it."

"Yeah, who would have thought that I would still be here today. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you and Yan Baolin. I was so miserable in the past. If it weren't for the care of you two, I wouldn't be here today."

As Cao Wenxi spoke, Yueran behind him stepped forward and put the things in his hands on the dining table.

"I think my sister likes jade. Here are two pieces of Hetian jade that are of pretty good quality. My sister can hire a skilled craftsman to make them into jewelry."

Zhu Ci opened the enamel jewelry box inlaid with garnets, picked up a piece of jade and shined it in the sun.

"Sister Cao is so humble. This jade is of excellent quality. Not to mention this kind of red jade, which is even more rare. It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with my sister. How can I win people's love? It would be a waste to give it to me. Got this good stuff.”

"In my heart, you are worthy of this thing. If you really treat me as your sister, don't refuse me."

Cao Wenxi closed the jewelry box, pushed it forward, and his eyes fell on Yan Qingshu.

"I didn't know that Yan Baolin was also here with my sister, so I asked someone to send the things to Changqiu Palace."

Although Yan Qingshu still wanted to eat, seeing that her master Zhu Ci had stopped moving, she was too embarrassed to continue eating.

"Thank you Cao Baolin. I don't lack anything to wear. Baolin should keep it for himself and don't waste money."

Although Yan Qingshu had some prejudices against Cao Wenxi because of what happened last time in Weiyang Palace, in the final analysis, she did not hate her as a person.

Seeing that Cao Wenxi finally came to an end, she was actually quite happy for her.

And she was telling the truth. She lived with the Queen Mother and really lacked everything. If you give it to her, she won't need it, and it will be wasted. It's better to keep it for yourself. But in Cao Wenxi's eyes, he really didn't like the meaning of what she gave her.

"Although it's not worth much, it's my heart. Don't be polite, Paulin."

In this case, Yan Qingshu couldn't say anything else.

Cao Wenxi looked at Zhu Ci and reached out to hold her hands.

"Sister, I hope you are angry with me. I had no choice but to hide it from you."

Zhu Ci didn't care. She and Cao Wenxi had never had a heart-to-heart relationship, let alone her deception.

"Sister, what are you talking about? My sister and I are both Baolins, so we should serve the emperor. How could I blame my sister? As for what Hu Xuanwu said, I can understand it better."

Cao Wenxi saw that Zhu Ci really didn't want to be angry, and she smiled happily.

The three of them talked casually for a while, and Cao Wenxi suddenly said: "When I came over, I suddenly heard some news. I wonder if my sister and Yan Baolin heard about it?"

Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu looked at each other, and their hearts tightened when they saw Cao Wenxi's serious expression.

"Looking at my sister's expression, it seems like something big has happened?!"

Cao Wenxi nodded, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Today, someone found a female body in Qiandao Lake. It belongs to Yuyun who used to be the servant of Lucai. I'm really sorry for that girl. I don't know if she is in the water." After soaking in it for so long, my whole face is completely different."

Sure enough, Zhu Ci asked: "Is the news reliable? It's really Yuyun. Wasn't she sent to Yeting Palace by the emperor?"

Cao Wenxi glanced at Yueran, who nodded knowingly, and said crisply: "When I returned to Baolin, I saw it with my own eyes. When he was discovered, he had stones tied to his body. Everyone in the palace was spreading rumors that he had been raped by someone. Get killed."

"No wonder every time I pass by Qiandao Lake, I feel a gust of wind. It turns out there are evil spirits at work."

Yan Qingshu trembled, "But how could this happen? Why would anyone want to kill Yuyun? She is just a slave."

"That's what's weird about me too." Cao Wenxi smiled with a profound meaning.

"But with the Emperor and Queen here, we can definitely find out the truth and give Yuyun an explanation. There is no need for us to worry, since we have a clear conscience anyway."

Zhu Ci is thoughtful. Her guess was indeed correct. Yuyun must have known who harmed Lu Cairen, so she was silenced after the incident. Concubine De...what role does she play...

Cao Wenxi sat in Qifeng Palace for about half an hour, then got up and left. Yan Qingshu also felt that she had stayed too long, and was afraid that the Queen Mother would be unhappy, so she had to prepare to go back to Changqiu Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

The leaves are swayed by the wind, the sunlight is broken, and the sound of cicadas is hidden, like the tide in the distance.

Cao Wenxi raised his head and saw a leisurely white cloud floating into the distance.

"I've walked this road so many times, but this is the first time I've found the scenery here to be so good."

"My master is in a good mood. Even if you see the same scenery, it will look different."

Yueran smiled and said: "Master, are you going back to the palace, or are you planning to wander around?"

"Let's take a walk around. It's been a long time since I visited Wen Meiren. Wen Meiren suddenly hurt her face again. I have lived with her in Weiyang Palace for so long, so I should go and see Wen Meiren."

Cao Wenxi smiled, but the smile was not in his eyes, "I don't know how Wen Meiren is recovering from her injuries. I'm really worried."
