Lin Fufei told Ma Cairen everything about the situation just now.
After hearing this, Ma Cairen wiped the cold sweat from his palms with a handkerchief: "It's a good chance. Thanks to the magpie for not coming out to see her. And thanks to you for being careful and following her."
"Perhaps this slave is too worried. Sister Hongzhu doesn't necessarily want to tell the truth." Lin Fufei said.
Ma Cairen sneered: "Don't believe in the straight and the straight, and beware of the unkind. The benefits of betraying me to please the queen are really great, so I don't blame her for being tempted."
"Then what should we do next? We can't make the matter a big deal," Lin Fufei said.
"Let me think about it," Ma Cairen frowned, "She must be removed as soon as possible without leaving any further trouble."
In fact, when Xue Hengzhao told Lin Fufei to be careful about Hongzhu, he had already told her what to do.
Lin Fufei saw that Ma Cairen could not think of a way for a long time, so she said cautiously: "Master, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"Please tell me and listen." Ma Cairen urgently needed help from someone at this time.
Lin Fufei then explained the method taught by Xue Heng. The more Ma Cairen listened, the brighter his eyes became.
He took Lin Fufei's hand as if he had found a treasure and said, "Girl, you really don't seem to have such a resourcefulness. In this case, I will do as you say."
Besides, Hong Zhu has been feeling quite uneasy for the past half day.
I accidentally burned my hand while pouring the tea. The little palace maid Ying'er quickly took it and said, "Sister, I'm probably too tired and didn't take a break at noon. I'd better do it!"
"I woke up a little too hard this morning and have been feeling dizzy." Hongzhu said smoothly, "I'm going to sit outside under the tree and cool down for a while. You guys wait in front of the princess first, and call me if you need anything."
"Sister, go ahead! I guess it's okay. The princess is still asleep at the moment." Ying'er said quietly, "There is a lounge chair under the tree. You might as well take a nap."
Hongzhu sat under the tree. Although her eyes were closed, her mind was not stable.
To be honest, Ma Cai and the Tenth Princess also spoke well of her.
But that's not as good as real money, glory and wealth.
There is absolutely no possibility of Ma Cairen making a comeback, and what's even worse is that she still tries to go against the queen.
As a servant in this palace, who wouldn't want to climb a high branch and follow the master to enjoy the blessings and grow taller?
Don't talk about this now. Even if you want to live in peace, you can no longer do it.
Everyone has selfish motives, and Hongzhu can't help but plan for herself.
She weighed these things over and over in her mind, thinking about what would happen if she followed the Ma Cai people to the dark side and ended up with no body left, or even implicated the nine tribes.
It would be better to grit your teeth, extinguish your conscience, report this matter to the queen, and make a fortune for yourself.
Now that she had made up her mind, she was going to find someone in the Queen's Palace to introduce her to him.
Magpie and she are from the same hometown, and he is the most powerful person in front of the queen, who can speak well.
It's a pity that I went at the wrong time today and couldn't meet him.
Hongzhu thought that she couldn't leave here at will, otherwise it would inevitably make people suspicious. He was not sure when the magpie would be able to see him, so he was worried.
At this time, the cicada on the tree gave a short scream. Hongzhu was thinking about something and fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up again, Lin Fufei was already here and was serving the tenth princess for snacks.
"Look at me, I'm getting more and more unruly. Why did I fall asleep?" Hong Zhu came over and said with an apologetic face.
"Sister is tired, it's time to take a rest. Anyway, we have people." Lin Fufei said, "I rested for a while before, and now I feel better. Why don't I rest for the rest of the day and wait until the evening?" It’s the same thing if you come here after night.”
"How can that happen?" Hongzhu shook his head, "We can't be too casual just because the master is considerate. Besides, I also took a nap just now."
The second half of the day went by in a flash, and soon it was dark.
Ma Cairen invited the tenth princess to have dinner with her in her room, and Lin Fufei naturally wanted to follow.
Hongzhu stayed to look at the house as usual. When the time came, the master's food would be taken away and they would eat.
Since the tenth princess was away, the servants were naturally more relaxed than usual, and some quietly slipped out to play. Hongzhu sat boredly under the lamp, fiddling with the wick with the lamp spindle.
It started to rain again outside, and Hongzhu thought that if it kept raining, the tenth princess would probably not be able to come back.
Bang bang, a little girl ran in and said, "Sister Hongzhu, someone is looking for you at the back door."
"Who is it?" Hong Zhu was a little surprised, "It's already this time."
"It's Sister Magpie from the Queen's Palace," the little girl said. "She said you went to see her during the day, but she wasn't free at that time. She also said she had a sore throat and didn't like to talk, so she asked you to see her. If she has anything to say, please tell her."
After hearing this, Hongzhu quickly agreed: "I understand, I'll go over there."
Then he grabbed the little girl and said, "Don't leave yet. I'll give you these few changes. Don't tell anyone else about this."
The little girl was very happy after taking the money, and she didn't ask why. She just said, "Don't worry! I won't let others know. She is next to the elm tree at the back door, asking you to go quickly."
Hongzhu was really overjoyed when she heard that the magpie came to find her. Originally, she was thinking about how to find an opportunity to go to Ronghua Palace again without leaving any trace, but this time there was no need.
Hongzhu put on some clothes for herself and took an umbrella to go out, but she didn't carry a lantern.
Carrying a lamp in the dark night certainly illuminates oneself, but it also exposes oneself.
She was talking about something fatal, so naturally the darker the better.
Hongzhu carefully avoided people along the way. Fortunately, it was raining at this time. Although it was not heavy, there were not many people.
When I came to the back door, I saw someone standing next to the elm tree, holding an umbrella. Although he was holding a lantern in his hand, it was wet from the rain and was about to go out.
Hongzhu recognized the lantern, it was from Ronghua Palace.
So he hurried over and said, "Sister Magpie, you're here. I'm really sorry. It's raining. It's hard for you to come to me in person."
When she reached it, the lantern was completely extinguished.
Magpie coughed a few times, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and said hoarsely: "What are you...ahem...looking for me...ahem...for?"
"Sister, I have something very important to do with you." Hongzhu leaned forward and lowered her voice, "This is a great fortune. We sisters are from the same hometown, so naturally we have to share the blessings together.
Ma Cairen wants to harm the Queen and is already plotting. I know the details inside and want to tell the Queen as soon as possible. Sister, as long as you recommend me, I can guarantee that the two of us will have endless wealth! "
At this time, the umbrella in Magpie's hand that was tilted to cover most of his face was lifted up, and a voice said coldly: "Hongzhu, I think I treat you well!"
