Chapter 67

Zhang Suya, carrying a food box in one hand, followed a court lady and walked towards the palace gate.

Looking from a distance, a few eunuchs standing in front of the palace gate hurriedly responded when they saw him.

Zhang Suya subconsciously held the food box tightly, her hands trembling slightly.

That eunuch was Liu Fushan, the Chief Eunuch of Ci'an Hall, and he brought several young eunuchs to Zhang Suya's side, and said in a bad tone, "Which palace are you from?" His shrill voice sounded harsh.

The maid beside Zhang Suya was quite clever, she quickly said with a smile: "Back to Eunuch Liu, this servant is the maid Ruier next to Concubine Mu, this is Concubine Mu's older sister, she came to the palace today to visit Concubine Gui."

"Oh, so it's someone from Suoxindian." Liu Fushan suddenly realized, and his tone became respectful.

Rui'er continued: "Eunuch Liu, it's getting late, and the maidservant is going to send Miss Zhang out of the palace." As she spoke, she wanted to leave with Zhang Suya.

"Wait!" Liu Fushan stopped in front of the two of them leisurely.

Zhang Suya was puzzled, and then asked, "I don't know what the father-in-law means?"

Liu Fuhai stared cunningly at the brocade box in Zhang Suya's hand, and asked maliciously, "What's in it?"

Zhang Suya was startled, but she remained calm on the surface, and said lightly, "It's the imperial concubine, and asked me to bring cakes to King Yi and Faye Wong, as a token of filial piety."

"The empress dowager's decree, tomorrow is the day of His Majesty's wedding, and anyone who enters or leaves the palace will be subject to a routine body search. Miss Zhang, please open the food box." Seeing that she was dismissive of him, Liu Fushan's tone was also sharp up.

"This,," Zhang Suya hesitated, because she didn't know what was in the food box?What will happen if it is opened?She couldn't guess it either.

"Since Miss Zhang is unwilling, then our family has no choice but to do it ourselves!" Liu Fuhai snorted coldly, and at the same time winked at the two little eunuchs behind him.

The two young eunuchs immediately rushed to Zhang Suya, trying to snatch the food box from her hand.

While several people were arguing, an angry voice sounded: "Stop this Gong!"

Everyone stopped their movements immediately and looked at the source of the voice together.

Zi Zhu, who was wearing a long lavender dress, was standing angrily not far away.Followed by Qing'er with a calm face.

"Slave pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress." Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zi Zhu's eyes swept across the crowd sharply, and he moved lightly with lotus steps, and came in front of a few people, and asked displeasedly, "What happened?"

Zhang Suya nodded slightly, and said: "Imperial concubine, this father-in-law brought people to block the way of the civilian girl, and forcibly inspected this food box."

Zi Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slightly impatient look on his face, and asked Liu Fushan with a half-smile, "Eunuch Liu, is Sister Suya telling the truth?"

Zi Zhu's voice was gentle, but there was a dangerous aura all over his body, which made Liu Fushan shiver, but when he thought of the support of the queen mother, he straightened his back and said, "Our family is following the order of the queen mother, please concubine Mu Gui Make it easy!"

Zi Zhu raised her eyebrows, and said coldly, "Eunuch Liu must be inspected?"

"Please make amends!" Liu Fushan said firmly.

A beautiful smile overflowed from the corner of Zi Zhu's lips, "Then watch it, remember not to get dirty." Then she turned around and stopped looking at them.

Liu Fushan moved away, feeling a little stunned, could it be that the Queen Mother guessed wrong, there is really nothing in this food box.

Zhang Suya heard Zihu's words, stuffed the food box into Liu Fushan's arms, and stopped talking.

Liu Fushan opened the food box and was stunned for a moment. There were three layers in the food box, and there was a plate of delicate pastries in each layer. There was nothing wrong with it. He checked it and found that there was no interlayer. There was no problem at all. No.

He had no choice but to respond to the scalp, with a smile on his face, and flatteringly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this food box, Miss Zhang can leave the palace."

Zi Zhu said indifferently: "Eunuch Liu has checked clearly, if you want to take a look, don't miss it."

Liu Fushan knew that Zi Zhu was deliberately ridiculing him, so he didn't dare to reply, after all, he was the one who offended him first.

Seeing that he was silent, Zi Zhu wanted to sneer at him, but suddenly felt bored, so she gave up. Her eyes turned to Zhang Suya, holding her catkin with one hand, and took out a letter from her sleeve with the other. , said in a gentle voice: "Sister, I can't always be with my father, queen, mother and concubine in the palace. Please help me to hand this letter to the second elder."

Zhang Suya looked at her with a moved face, and nodded heavily.

"Young lady, wait a minute." At this moment, Liu Fushan's sharp voice sounded again.

Zi Zhu was very displeased, and shouted: "Eunuch Liu, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you have to read this letter?"

With a flattering smile on his face, Liu Fushan said in a respectful voice: "Imperial Concubine, why do you make things difficult for a villain? Even slaves dare not disobey the Empress Dowager's order."

Zi Zhu was furious immediately, pointed at him, and said angrily: "Okay, good luck Liu Fushan, you can read as much as you want!" After finishing speaking, he threw the envelope on his face.

Although Liu Fushan was angry, he didn't dare to explode. He quickly opened the envelope and read the letter. There was nothing special in the letter, it was nothing more than greetings and thoughts.Disappointed, Liu Fushan handed the letter to Zizhu.

"Young concubine, our family has offended!"

"Hmph!" Zihu snorted coldly, did not look at him, objected to Qing'er and said: "Qing'er, send Sister Suya back to the residence on behalf of the palace, someone in the province is always trying to make things difficult for her!"

Liu Fushan took a deep breath, and was about to say something, but was interrupted roughly by Zi Zhu: "Eunuch Liu, why don't you say that Qing'er is still being searched?"

She saw through Liu Fushan's thoughts, nodded his head a little forcedly, and said: "Please Haihan, the imperial concubine, don't embarrass the slave!"

Zi Zhu was furious, stretched out his hand and shook Liu Fushan's loud slap on the ear, and shouted angrily: "Liu Fushan, you are so courageous, you humiliated me repeatedly, I will definitely report what happened today to the emperor!"

Liu Fushan, who was beaten, didn't dare to say anything, but stood opposite Zizhu with his face covered, but he didn't move away.

Seeing this, Zi Zhu became even more annoyed, and pushed Qing'er in front of him, and said viciously: "Okay, search, if you find anything inappropriate, that's fine, if you can't find anything, today I will ask you Your life!" The coldness in Zi Zhu's eyes made everyone present shiver.

Liu Fushan was also trembling with fright. He knew in his heart that if he couldn't find anything this time, his life would really be lost. With the emperor's love for Concubine Mu, he had to kill himself. Can't block?Even with the backing of the queen mother, will the queen mother clash with the emperor for such an insignificant person at a critical moment?Based on his years of serving the Empress Dowager and his understanding of her, he knew that the Empress Dowager would not do this. After thinking twice, he decided to give up, because he couldn't afford the risk.

"I dare not, my concubine, please forgive me." Liu Fushan knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Only then did Zi Zhu give up, and said in a cold voice, "You're acquainted!" Then she turned to Qing'er and Zhang Suya and said, "Qing'er, send sister out of the palace, remember not to miss the time to return to the palace."

"Yes, miss." Qing'er nodded, directly passed Liu Fushan, and walked towards the palace gate together with Zhang Suya.

Liu Fuhai took a deep look, then lowered his head again.

Zi Zhu glanced at him lightly, then turned and left.

The moment she turned around, she also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. In fact, the jade seal and the soldier talisman were on Qing'er. If Liu Fushan insisted on searching Qing'er, then she would be doomed. Zi Zhu is leaving now. As a dangerous move, she first used a food box and a letter as bait to fish out Liu Fuhai. Once he checked the two but failed, he must be very disappointed. This is why he pushed Qing'er out, so he had to think about it. She is a noble concubine of the first grade, and the emperor's favor is not fading. Even if he has the support of the queen mother, he still has to take into account the emperor's face. It is expected that Liu Fushan would not dare to act rashly. She can think of such a plan, thanks to the paper ball that Sister Suya gave her Only wrote four words: Throwing bricks to attract jade.It's my father's handwriting.

In this way, although this thing is out of the palace, it is still unknown whether it will be able to get out of the Eastern Capital City smoothly.With Lin Minjun's IQ, it shouldn't be difficult for her to guess, but it depends on who is more skilled in the end.

Liu Fushan saw Zi Zhu walking away, so he quickly stood up and hurried to Ci'an Hall.

Ci'an Hall

Above the main hall, Lin Minjun leaned lazily on the back of the chair, unhurriedly playing with the censer in his hand, and the censer emitted bursts of fragrance, which made people intoxicated.

Liu Fushan knelt in the hall tremblingly, uneasy.

Suddenly, Lin Minjun narrowed his phoenix eyes, sat up, Ni looked at him, and asked calmly: "Little Fuzi, is there really nothing special about the contents of the food box and letter?" Express her inner emotions.

Liu Fushan nodded and said: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, it is true that the slave has checked from inside to outside, from top to bottom, and there is really nothing special about it."

Lin Minjun frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Little Fuzi, thanks to your self-proclaimed cleverness, this time, you can't even see through such a simple trick to attract jade." Her words were more of a sigh , not to blame.

Liu Fushan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Empress Dowager had no intention of blaming him, and at the same time lamented that he had been fooled by Concubine Mu, if only he had persisted at that time.

What puzzled him was why the Empress Dowager was not in a hurry, but relaxed?
Lin Minjun's mind, how can he be able to figure it out, Mu Zihu's action undoubtedly proves that both the jade seal and the soldier talisman are in her hands. In the past, he was anxious because the whereabouts of these two things were unknown, and Lie'er's position could not be secure. Now that she knows her whereabouts, she just needs to wait and see what happens, and send people to guard Yiwang's mansion, will the jade seal and soldier talisman still be able to fly?

No, that girl Mu Zihu wouldn't be so stupid, it's so easy for people to see her purpose clearly, could it be that she didn't give these two things to Qing'er?No, no, I must keep my mind steady and fight her well.
