Playful Queen

Chapter 61

Hearing this, Concubine Li finally let go of the stone in her heart, showed a bright smile, and then said: "Actually, Concubine Yun is quite innocent in this matter, she was almost killed by Concubine Rong, but Concubine Yun The concubine has always been kind and peaceful, everyone will naturally stand on Concubine Yun's side, who would believe Concubine Rong's words!"

Li Pin's words seemed to remind Meng Li of her current situation, she smiled faintly, and echoed: "Sister Li Pin also said..."

With a bang, the sound of the plate breaking interrupted Meng Li's words, and the two looked at the place where the sound came from at the same time, only to see that Li Pin's original smile immediately turned dark, "You slave, why are you so careless!"

"..." The maid who was scolded hurriedly wanted to clean up the debris, but when she heard Li Concubine scolding, she didn't dare to say a word, and kept bowing and apologizing.

The palace maid's aggrieved appearance caught Mengli's eyes. She raised her eyes to look at this man, only to find that her panicked eyes were also looking at her, as if with an inexplicable emotion, which made her heart suddenly dull. After a while, "Okay, this knocking over things is just a trivial matter, Xi'er, you go clean it up."

After saying this, Concubine Li didn't say anything anymore, and saw that the maid kept nodding to thank her, but she didn't say a word. Ordinary court ladies, "This court lady looks unfamiliar, I don't think I've seen it before?"

"She is one of these new palace maids. She was born dumb, so she was named dumb slave. Her piano skills are extremely superb, so my concubine brought her to her side and is learning piano from her." It is said that the emperor loves the piano very much. A highly skilled woman, of course she had to think of a way, how to catch the emperor, Meng Li roughly understood what Li Pin was thinking, and looked at the dumb slave again.

At this time, Concubine Li suggested again: "If the queen feels bored, why not ask the dumb girl to play a song for you?"

"No need, I'm still a little unwell, I want to rest first." Although Mengli was interested in the dumb slave's piano skills, she didn't want to spend too long with Concubine Li, so she made an excuse and pretended Pretending to be unwell, he leaned weakly against the back of the chair.

Concubine Li showed a smile and replied tactfully: "In that case, next time the concubine will ask the dumb slave to play a song for the queen, and the concubine will leave first today."

After finishing speaking, Fushen took his leave, and the dumb slaves beside him also saluted respectfully, raised his eyes to look at Mengli again, and then followed Lipin's footsteps to leave.

Mengli glanced at the dumb slave's eyes, always felt that there was something hidden in her eyes, just thinking about when, suddenly saw Xiao Zhuozi's figure sneaking out, since the incident of Chunyu happened After that, she naturally became more vigilant than before, "Xi'er, have you noticed that Xiao Zhuozi is weird recently?"

"Hearing the empress mentioned this, Xi'er has some feelings. He has been mysterious these two days, and even sneaked out in the middle of the night. Empress, you don't think that Xiao Zhuozi is..."

"Isn't it, just look at it."

"Your Majesty, your body is just right..." Before Xi'er finished speaking, she saw the figure of the Empress had already walked out of the front hall, her body was as light as a swallow, and her light steps were not at all like the one she showed in front of Concubine Li just now. So weak...

Mengli quietly followed Xiao Zhuozi, seeing his sneaky appearance, she looked around from time to time, for fear of being discovered.

Soon, he followed him to a relatively remote place in the palace. Apart from the long carved corridor, there was an open space, deserted everywhere, and a deserted patio next to it. I didn't expect such a magnificent palace to exist. This barren place looks quite desolate, what is this little Zhuozi doing here?
Mengli thought about it, and when she reached a fork in the road, just as Mengli was about to follow Xiao Zhuozi, a clear and deep voice came from behind: "Where is the queen going?"

The voice was like a deep cold pool, chilling people to the bone, Mengli couldn't help shivering, and turned her head, only to see a tall and straight body standing behind her, the damned thing about this person is that she wants to see him Mengli confronted the man who was avoiding him, and tried her best to smile, "Prince Duan, what a coincidence..."

Zi Yingxuan was dressed in black and gold brocade clothes, white su brocade as the lining, and black boots with blue cloud patterns on his feet. Standing tall and straight made him look like a dragon and a phoenix. With a cold and sharp breath, he said indifferently: "This is a relatively remote place in the palace, with few people. Why does the queen appear here?"

"Walking." Mengli shook her hands, pretended to be exercising, and said two words casually, then raised her eyes and asked, "Why did Prince Duan appear here again?"

"This king appears for his own reasons, so you don't need to ask me any more!" Zi Yingxuan said indifferently, his face didn't look very good, but it was this appearance that made Mengli feel upset, and her eyes widened to welcome her. Seeing his indifference, the howling of the cold wind seemed to contain a strange taste, Zi Yingxuan frowned, his eyes were a bit like...

At this time, Ziyingxuan's thoughts were interrupted by faint sobs not far away, and Mengli also heard the weeping, listening carefully, intermittently and intermittently.

There is this kind of sound in this remote place, if it is not in broad daylight, it really feels like a ghost crying.

Zi Yingxuan noticed where the sound came from, moved his body, tapped his toes, and flew to the side of a pile of tall grass like the wind, and shouted in a thick voice: "Who?! Come out!"

The sobbing in the flowers stopped immediately, and was replaced by calmness. Following a slight and delicate sound, a figure poked out its face tremblingly from the flowers. When it saw the person in front of it, it immediately rolled and crawled nervously. When he came out, before his legs could stand firmly, he fell to his knees on the ground with a thump, his whole body lay down, and he said in panic, "Prince Duan, please forgive me...Please forgive me, Prince Duan."

The voice sounded extremely trembling, Mengli looked at the shivering figure in front of her, who seemed to be terrified, and soon recognized that this person was the little Zhuozi she was following.

Zi Yingxuan frowned slightly, glanced lightly at the shivering little eunuch, and snorted coldly: "Bold slave, what's the purpose of hiding in the flowers in broad daylight?"

"Slave...slave..." Xiao Zhuozi had been scared out of his wits by King Duan's breath for a long time, his voice was hesitating, and he was crying with a little panic, as if he could still hear his teeth trembling up and down in his mouth , knock out a crisp "clack" sound.
