Chapter 52 Chapter 49

The Libai Hall is spacious and bright, full of extravagance. The pale pink veils are slightly floating, and the warm tone should accompany the heater to make the hall as warm as spring, but because of the freezing atmosphere, it looks unusually abrupt .

"Su Bai specially prepared cakes to apologize to my sister, why are you doing this, sister?"

Su Bai looked at the cakes scattered on the floor with misty eyes, and innocently said to Concubine Yao.

Concubine Yao's complexion was pale, she turned a deaf ear to Su Bai's questioning, and stared blankly at the cakes on the ground, which were originally in the shape of delicate plum blossoms, neatly stacked, but now they were either broken into powder, or cracked into several pieces, scattered on the ground , faintly reveals the sweet taste of plum blossom.

"Is this pastry really prepared by you?"

Concubine Yao burst out laughing, eerie and weird, Su Bai paused, and nodded hesitantly.

"It's not enough to seduce the emperor, so you come out to confuse me like this?" Concubine Yao stood up, lowered her eyes, and looked at Su Bai who was sitting opposite with a light smile.

Su Bai's eyes widened, and he explained: "Su Bai is just apologizing, sister, don't misunderstand."

"Say! What is your relationship with Ji's family?" Concubine Yao's eyes froze suddenly, domineering.

Su Bai trembled all over, and stood up in shock, puzzled: "Sister, what are you talking about? Ji's family? Which Ji's family? Su Bai is from Dongcheng, and I have never heard of any Ji's family there..."

"You're so scared that you still ask me which Ji's family?" Concubine Yao glanced at Su Bai from top to bottom, and sneered disdainfully.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, my background is innocent..."

"What are you saying, are you trying to say who's background is not innocent?" Concubine Yao interrupted Su Bai sharply, raised her eyebrows and asked back.

"I...I didn't..." Su Bai said nonchalantly.

Concubine Yao smiled again, no makeup was applied on her dry face, her smile was a little pale, but not powerless, her eyes were firm, she looked straight at Su Bai and said, "Are you sure, you made this cake yourself?"

Concubine Yao bit the word "by hand" very hard. Hearing this, Su Bai lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "No... I... don't know how to make cakes, so I asked the maid to do it."

After Yu Bi glanced at the plate of plum cake left, she didn't understand how Concubine Yao had such a big reaction after taking a bite.

"Who made it? I would like to see what kind of expert is behind Bai Guifei!" Concubine Yao said, she sat down leisurely, and wiped her fingers that had taken pastries with a handkerchief.

Su Bai frowned and called out: "Cai'er Yan'er, hurry up and pay your respects to Concubine Yao."

Two skinny maids came out from the side, quickly knelt down, and saluted tremblingly.

"You guys, who did it?" Concubine Yao asked with a smile, but the smile made the two maids tremble even more, and they couldn't speak.

"Hurry up, don't waste my time!" Concubine Yao squinted her eyes and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

"No servants!" The two maids replied in unison.

Concubine Yao was impatient, she opened her eyes and said: "You should know about my temper, don't test my patience."

The two maids trembled and kowtowed at the same time again: "I don't have any servants, your empress is very careful!"

"Yesterday my lady ordered my servant to make some cakes. This morning, this servant went into the small kitchen and saw that two plates of cakes were ready, so I thought it was Cai'er who made them, and brought them directly."

"Your Majesty, I have noticed that this morning, the servant went to the imperial dining room to explain the meals for the past few days according to the orders of Shen Yuyi yesterday, and did not step into the small kitchen."

"Your Majesty, the servant girl asked Cai'er just now, and she said she did it by herself, but now she categorically denies it..."

"Your Majesty, just now the imperial concubine praised the cakes for being well done, and the slaves are eager to ask for credit, that's why they said that..."

"Okay!" Concubine Yao sat up straight, looked at the two of them impatiently, glanced at the crowd and said, "Slow down and beat! Beat until you tell the truth!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant is telling the truth!" The two kowtowed again, tears streaming down their faces. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Yao was tyrannical, and the slave who offended her would either die or be injured. She would never dare to lie, but she didn't believe it. , you can only ask for it.

"Drag it on!" Concubine Yao waved her hands needlessly, and glanced at the eunuchs beside her.

After being swept away by Concubine Yao, several eunuchs hurriedly stood up, wanting to drag them away, Su Bai sternly shouted: "Wait!"

When the sound fell, Su Bai stood up, with cold eyes, he shot straight at Concubine Yao, and said angrily: "Sister, you can see clearly, this is Libai Hall, not Taoyao Hall!"

"You can see clearly! There are not only you and me here, hehe, isn't Bai Guifei gentle and pleasant, pure and kind? How can she say such fierce words?" Concubine Yao chuckled lightly, leaning on the back of the chair squint at her.

"People don't bully me, I don't bully others! If you want to teach your slaves a lesson, please ask your sister to move to Taoyao Palace!" Su Bai didn't want to be outdone, and stared back.

"Okay!" Concubine Yao stood up abruptly, dragging her red dress over the carved wooden chair, she brought out a soft line, and said to the eunuchs just now: "Bring these two slaves to Taoyao Palace, I will teach you a lesson slowly! "

"You!" Su Bai was anxious, staring at Concubine Yao angrily.

"How about this palace?" Concubine Yao said with a disdainful smile, "Isn't this palace following the imperial concubine's orders?"

"Heh..." Su Bai's blushing flushed with anger receded from his face just now, his face relaxed, his clear eyes blurred a bit, and he chuckled suddenly: "Of course you have to obey my orders, and Not to mention that my rank is higher than yours now, even if it is counted before becoming a concubine, you! A lowly girl, how can you have the right to refute my words?"

Su Bai smiled lightly, the dimple on the left side of his face gradually sank, the raised brows were completely different from when he first entered the palace, Concubine Yao stood up abruptly, staring at Su Bai's dimple, The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense, and the four looked at each other, melting into the air like a war without gunpowder smoke, causing the eunuchs and maids present to tremble with fear.

Su Bai seemed to understand how he had irritated Concubine Yao, he smiled even more happily, raised his brows and said, "Sister, I'd better go back to the palace quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a silver light flashing in front of his eyes, gasps and screams all around him, his left cheek was stabbed, he raised his hand tremblingly, it was wet, and when he put it in front of his eyes, it was blood red.

Concubine Yao was holding the dagger, her eyes turned from anger to joy, the eunuchs in Libai Hall realized this and immediately held Concubine Yao, but they didn't dare to use too much force.

Concubine Yao struggled, but she didn't break free, so she gave up, she just smiled, looking at the wound on Su Bai's face and smiling happily.

Su Bai's hand that touched the left cheek couldn't help trembling, his eyes flashed with astonishment, anger, and finally turned into fear, and shouted: "Call the imperial doctor! Pull her down, pass the imperial doctor!"

As early as when Concubine Yao raised her saber, some eunuchs had already gone out to report. At this moment, Su Bai sipped, and two more came out.

"Let go! Are you dying?" Sensing that the person holding her wanted to take her away, Concubine Yao shouted loudly.

The two eunuchs froze, stopped their movements, looked at Su Bai embarrassingly, lowered their heads, and stopped pulling Concubine Yao, but did not let go of her hand either.

"If you want me to go, yes, take these two servants with you!"

"Who dares to move?"

Su Bai immediately yelled angrily, the air in the hall froze again, Su Bai and Concubine Yao stood and faced each other, except for the two eunuchs who clasped Concubine Yao's hands, the other eunuchs and maids knelt down together when Su Bai was stabbed in the face, Li Bai The hall was so quiet that people felt guilty, and everyone dared not vent their anger, and lowered their heads and stared at the ground.

"The Emperor is here!"

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the two did not give in. They sang to break the deadlock, Su Bai's face softened, and he followed the crowd to salute.

Yun Jinyan's face was gloomy, and he frowned and glanced at the crowd. When he saw the plum cake on the ground, his eyes paused. Without any hesitation, he went straight to the imperial concubine chair in the hall and sat down. He said in a deep voice, "Stay flat."

Su Bai raised his head, covered his face with his left hand, tears fell instantly, Yun Jinyan faintly saw the blood, his eyes flashed, and he reached out to pull Su Bai's hand, but she refused to let it go, Yun Jinyan said softly: "Why? gone?"

Su Bai looked at Yun Jinyan with tears in his eyes, glanced at Concubine Yao, snuggled into Yun Jinyan's arms, sobbed, "Chenqie... Chenqie's face..."

Yun Jinyan looked at Concubine Yao and saw that the dagger in her hand was shining with silver and red light. He immediately understood everything and said angrily, "Why is this?"

"Because of what happened that night, the concubine specially prepared some cakes to apologize to my sister, but my sister only took a bite, so she threw the whole plate on the ground and asked the concubine who made it..." Su Bai continued Guo Yunjinyan's questioning, seeing him looking at him with pity, slipped into his arms, and continued to be wronged: "The plum blossom cake was brought by Cai'er and Yan'er, but both of them said they never made this cake. , my sister is going to be executed, and my concubine will of course stop me, so..."

As he spoke, tears fell again, Yun Jinyan looked at Concubine Yao impatiently, and said in a deep voice, "Is it true?"

Concubine Yao was not frightened, she raised her head, with smiles in her eyes, she said softly: "Your Majesty, how about you try that plum cake first? Now, on the table, my concubine has left a plate for you."

Yun Jinyan frowned, and glanced suspiciously at the neatly arranged plum cakes on the table, from bottom to top, delicate and small, somehow familiar, he unconsciously reached out and took a piece, and took a bite.

Concubine Yao stared closely at his expression, seeing that his eyes were confused for a moment, and a gentle smile spread out.

But the chaos lasted only for a moment, Yun Jinyan's eyes immediately sank, they were actually deeper than before, staring at Concubine Yao: "What do you want to say?"

"I just want to find out who made this pastry." Concubine Yao answered without hesitation, meeting Shangyun Jinyan's eyes.

Yun Jinyan put down the plum cake in his hand, and smiled lightly: "Aren't you the only one in this world who can make this kind of taste?"

Concubine Yao was about to speak, but Yun Jinyan's black eyes were shining, and he continued without distraction: "A few days ago, my concubine spared no effort to remind me that she was dead, why? Today I want to overturn the previous statement and tell me She's not dead? Do you suspect that these two plates of plum cakes came from her?"

"No!" Concubine Yao replied decisively, and sternly said: "The cakes are from Libai Palace, there are such masters in Libai Palace, I just want to meet them."

"I just met you, and you hurt someone's face with a dagger?" Yun Jinyan's eyes became darker, and he smiled lightly: "Aifei's method this time is a bit stupid. This pastry was obtained from the Taoyao Palace and Libai. Hall, it is not difficult."

Concubine Yao's eyes darkened, and she smiled in relief: "Okay, it's not difficult if you say it's not difficult, I'll let you handle it!"

Yun Jinyan's complexion darkened, he stood up abruptly, grabbed Concubine Yao's chin with one hand, and said ruthlessly, "Do you want me to do what you want? Do you want to die or go to the cold palace?"

Concubine Yao was neither humble nor overbearing, she lowered her eyes and did not answer.

"Don't think about anything!" Yun Jinyan shook her chin, took Su Bai's hand and walked away quickly, with a cold voice hovering in the Libai Palace: "Twenty palms, three months of confinement!"

Concubine Yao's eyes were empty, her face turned pale.

When Li Zihe heard that Concubine Yao had been slapped, he was holding the Xiaolingsan given to him by Shen Mo in his hand, which made people temporarily confused and vulnerable, and the effect of the medicine would wear off after time passed.The blue-faced grass is rare, and it takes half a month to have it. Xiaolingsan, Shen Moben, brought some and gave it to her directly.

I was thinking about where to find an opportunity to drug her, and when something like this happened, the opportunity came.

She made those cakes with the intention of testing them a little bit, but the waves caused were much bigger than imagined. Su Bai was almost disfigured because of it, and Concubine Yao was slapped [-] times and grounded for this. It seems that "Ji Li" Influence cannot be underestimated.

After dissolving Xiaolingsan into a few cans of swelling ointment, Li Zihe followed Yueer to Taoyao Hall with the medicine box on his back.

Because Concubine Yao was grounded, the Taoyao Palace was even more deserted. The cold wind blew on the face, making the outside of the palace more and more gloomy and cold. The howling made Li Zihe think that he was in the cold palace.

Yue'er opened the door of the hall, and instead of rushing in the heat as usual, there was a cold gust of wind, Li Zihe followed by flashing past the screen, and saw the thinner shadow on the bed behind the curtain.

After saluting, Li Zihe stood on one side, he did not see Concubine Yao's hand stretched out for a long time, so he also bowed his head and remained silent.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and with a "plop", Li Zihe raised his head suddenly, and saw Concubine Yao, her originally pale face was red and swollen, bulging, bloodshot, almost shapeless, her eyes were also red and swollen, maybe she had cried It's not surprising that the slap was too heavy, Li Zihe's heart was raised, it was Concubine Yao who was kneeling on the ground, looking up, looking at her for a moment, but Yue'er didn't seem to see anything, He stared out of the window in a daze.

"Doctor Li, it was Yao'er's fault that Yao'er offended a lot in the past!" Concubine Yao's lips were also red and swollen, she tried to speak clearly, her voice was hoarse and not weak: "Two slaps, one caning If Imperial Physician Li cares about it, Yao Er is here today, let him do whatever he wants!"

Li Zihe was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, bent down to help Concubine Yao, and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, please get up quickly, I really can't bear it!"

Concubine Yao broke away from Li Zihe's hand, kowtowed heavily, and raised her head again, with tears in her eyes and choked up, she tried her best to calmly say: "Yao'er has no choice, no way out, no way out, can only fight For this one, I beg Imperial Physician Li to help Yao'er."

Li Zihe looked at Concubine Yao, who had been flaunting her arrogance since entering the palace, and suddenly put down all her body, knelt on the ground and begged, acting?Unlike, and unnecessary.

"At this point, Yao Er has no scruples about death anyway. I just hope that Imperial Doctor Li agrees to Yao Er's request for the sake of Grandpa Feng's promotion."

Li Zihe was stunned, his reaction was faster than his consciousness, and he asked, "What?"

Yao'er raised her eyes, in her red and swollen eyes, the black pupils shone with determination, and said word by word: "Help me, go to the cold palace once!"
