Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 59 Asking for help

Zhu Ci sniffed and said, "I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the palace gate of Concubine Shu."

"Hey, success depends on people. If I say you can do it, then you can do it! Why are you belittling yourself here?"

Bai Xinrui placed the arranged silk threads on the shelf and arranged them carefully.

"Concubine Shu likes pearls the most. She doesn't want to see you, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like the things you give her."

Bai Xinrui asked Zhu Ci to do some tricks on the pearl and send it to Concubine Shu. Then she spoke ill of Bai Xinrui in front of Concubine Shu, creating the illusion of discord with the two of them.

Concubine Shu likes pearls the most, not to mention the ones awarded by the emperor, which are even more excellent. She will definitely order them to be made into jewelry and worn on her body.

In this way, Concubine Shu will get up and be covered in red rashes, and she will give away the peach blossom and jade face powder in front of everyone. Even if Concubine Shu found out that there was something wrong with the Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder, she could push Lu Cairen out. She just wanted to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. Who knew Lu Cairen would have mixed things in it.

Zhuying also felt something was wrong, "My servant also felt strange. Ever since you moved into Qifeng Palace. If Concubine De wanted to see the master, she would have come a long time ago. Why did it happen to be today? There were so many people guarding outside, but they didn't When I found Yuyun, she discovered it. Master, do you think it was Concubine De who did it?"

Zhu Ci shook his head, "It's hard to say, there were several people present at the time. It could be anyone. Maybe it was Yan Baolin and Cao Baolin, or maybe the Queen. But one thing is for sure, Yuyun was definitely bribed. ”

"Yan Baolin?" Zhuying said in surprise.

"My servant sees that Yan Baolin is simple-minded and innocent. He only thinks about eating and playing all day long, like a child who has not grown up. Does she have such deep thoughts?"

Zhu Ci sneered, "Yan Baolin lost his parents since he was a child and was raised by the Queen Mother. No matter how well protected the Queen Mother is, how could he have such a simple temper under the influence of intrigues and intrigues day after day? Lotus root. If you grow up in a mire, your body will always be stained with mud, so it’s impossible to be clean.”

Zhu Ci yawned sleepily, his head felt dizzy, and his eyelids were hot and astringent.

She blinked, whether she was really like this, I misunderstood, or she was acting, it never hurts to be careful. I think Cuilan is quite reliable. Sometimes you can try to let her do it, and don't make yourself too tired. "

"My servant also thinks that Cui Lan is not bad, and Xiao Yinzi is also loyal. He was slapped by Concubine Shu today, and his face is as swollen as a steamed bun. He is too embarrassed to come to see the master, so he is hiding in the house. "

Seeing Zhu Ci lift the quilt, Zhuying stepped forward and took the embroidered shoes for her to put on her feet.

"Bring some medicine to Xiao Yinzi. Although Xiao Yinzi is a eunuch, he still wants to show his face. He can't see anyone like this."

Zhuying nodded in response, "Master, do you want to sleep? I'll give you some soup and bring you a new quilt. Master, cover yourself well. If you sweat, the wind and cold will be fine."

"I understand. It will definitely be cold tonight, so don't stay vigil all night. Go back to the house and get some rest. It's so windy and rainy, so don't catch a cold again. If you fall ill, there will really be no one to take care of me."

The master and servant were talking when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhu Ci and Zhuying looked at each other. Zhuying walked over and opened the door. Rain fell on her face. She saw that Yueran was wet all over, her hair was stuck to her face randomly, and she couldn't stop shivering.

"What's wrong with you? You didn't even hold an umbrella, but what happened to Cao Baolin?"

Yueran nodded, her teeth chattering a little, "Have you rested, Princess Zhu? My master is in serious trouble, and I beg you, Princess Zhu, to help." "Zhuying, let her in." Zhu Ci looked at Yueran in front of the rain. When he came, he looked panicked and knew something was wrong.

Zhuying waited for Yueran to enter the room, closed the door behind her back, made a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yueran.

"Drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up first. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly. Don't rush."

Yue Ran thanked him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. His body felt much warmer now. She told the whole story in detail.

"When the imperial concubine found out, she was very angry. She said she wanted the emperor to interrogate my master severely and reveal who instigated it. This slave had no choice but to risk his own life and ran out to seek help from you."

Yueran cried and knelt in front of Zhu Ci. The rainwater flowed wetly along her clothes and accumulated on the ground, forming a small puddle.

"I wish you the best, I beg you to save my master. If you don't care about me, I'm afraid my master will die."

"How could a beautiful lady do this? It's too much. Just to frame your master for your own selfish interests, wouldn't this mean that the real murderer has been let go?"

During the day, Cao Wenxi was crying and crying. Zhu Ci thought she was making a fuss out of a molehill, but now it seemed that she was expecting something.

The literary beauty has been in the palace for many years and is not favored much, but she still has some weight in the eyes of the emperor. As soon as the imperial concubine was frightened, someone discovered a copper basin for feeding wild cats near Weiyang Palace, and then searched Cao Wenxi for drugs that could make cats irritable.

I don’t know that Wen Meiren simply disliked Cao Baolin and wanted to use this matter to deliberately frame her. Or she was with the person who wanted to murder the imperial heir in the imperial concubine's womb.

She said anxiously: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you if you can. However, this matter concerns the emperor's heir, and it is indeed very difficult. It will take a long time to find the evidence and help your master clear his grievances. Your name is Cao Baolin Haosheng Be patient and I will do my best.”

Zhu Ci reached out to help Yueran up from the ground and brushed away the wet hair stuck to her face.

"Sister Cao calls me sister, not for anything else, just because of this sister. I will also find a way to save sister Cao. You go back quickly, don't let anyone find out. If there are any clues, I will find a way to tell you. of."

Yueran nodded, not daring to stay any longer for fear of being discovered, and left secretly.

Zhuying wiped the water on the ground clean and then said: "Master, do you really want to help Cao Baolin? You and Cao Baolin have only known each other for a long time. Calling her sister is just polite. Regardless of whether Cao Baolin was wronged or not, to you There is no benefit at all. Why do you have to go through this muddy water for Cao Baolin?"

"Who said I want to help Cao Baolin? She is not worth my trouble."

Zhu Ci tucked the broken hair behind her ears. Seeing Zhuying's confused face, she held her hand.

"Since Cao Baolin sent Yueran to come to me in the rain, he must have wanted to hear me say that I would help her. If she wanted to hear it, I would just tell her, and it wouldn't take much effort. You agreed to help me. , whether the emperor will spare her is beyond my control."
