It's just that no matter how unhappy she feels, it's her own business. Others are not her punching bags, let alone Xie Ziyue.
Concubine Xue just cursed her, but when the curse hit Ah Xuan, she really stabbed Xie Ziyue's lungs.
If she didn't have any reaction, then she wouldn't be Xie Ziyue, the doting girl.
Thinking of this, Xie Ziyue looked back, and Xin Zhangjing, who happened to be guarding there, looked over, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Xin Zhangjing naturally listened to Concubine Xue's words just now. Seeing Xie Ziyue's gloomy expression now, he nodded towards her.
So after Xie Ziyue and his entourage left, he nodded and bowed and said: "My queen, my slaves are also following orders. No one in this palace can offer sacrifices or burn paper. If you are discovered, it will be a serious crime! My queen also respects you. This matter must not be discovered by others."
"My slave is rude."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and stamped out the remaining flames. The ashes left by the burning paper money flew into the air, and the mass was instantly ruined.
These are all paper money burned for the dead. How can it be done if it is wasted like this?
Concubine Xue angrily scolded Xin Zhangjing, but Xin Zhangjing had seen many ups and downs and would not be frightened by her few words.
He allowed Concubine Xue to scold her and kept moving her feet, almost ruining the place. Then he patted the dust on his body with his whisk and said with a smile:
"Look, Princess Toffee, this way no one else can see it. If nothing happens, I will leave first!"
After saying that, regardless of Concubine Xue's livid face, she turned around and followed the direction of Xie Ziyue and others just now.
Concubine Xue couldn't blame Xin Zhangjing for being ruthless when she cursed like this.
Over the years, her food and clothing in the harem have been in accordance with the standards of a concubine, and Xie Ziyue has never treated her harshly.
Paper money cannot be burned in the palace. This is a rule left by our ancestors. It would be fine if we didn't notice it.
She didn't say anything when she found out, and after she found out, she let herself stay here waiting to be dealt with.
As a result, Concubine Xue was so disrespectful that she actually cursed her own princess... How could Xin Zhangjing endure this? Simply stamp out the fire with a few kicks.
Xie Ziyue and others were not walking very fast. When Xin Zhangjing caught up with them, he told them exactly what had just happened.
After hearing what he did, Concubine De put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "My sister is surrounded by smart and loyal people."
Xin Zhangjing intended to make Xie Ziyue happy, but before Xie Ziyue could say anything, he shamelessly agreed:
"Thank you for the compliment, Imperial Concubine De. It's all for your good teachings."
"You deserve it quickly," Xie Ziyue laughed: "I haven't said anything yet, but you have already accepted it."
The group of people chatted and laughed for a while. Gu Rong was still immersed in the panic of seeing someone behind him when he turned around just now, and did not recover for a long time.
Gu Xuan was holding the queen's hand and laughing at Xin Zhangjing.
At this time, Gu Ji, who was babbling, suddenly spoke:
"Want a rattle."
His voice was loud. Concubine De looked at him and coaxed: "Okay, I will get you a rattle when you get back."
Concubine De truly doted on her son. From the time he was born, he had many toys, including many rattles.
Although she didn’t know why her son suddenly remembered the rattle, Concubine De still accepted it all.
However, Xin Zhangjing's expression became strange. He slapped his head and made a loud sound: "Your Majesty, speaking of this rattle, it suddenly occurred to me that there was a rattle in the thing that Madam Snow Princess burned just now."
In fact, Xin Zhangjing didn't notice it at first. Later, when he stepped on something, he accidentally stepped on it and discovered it.
"I'm just asking, why is it that everything is going so well all of a sudden?" Concubine De suddenly realized and looked at her son with an angry look:
"It turns out I saw it there."
Xie Ziyue thought more, frowned and asked, "Why does Princess Snow burn the rattle when she's so good?"
Xin Zhangjing also knew about this, but he thought it was not important and did not tell Xie Ziyue before.
Now that Xie Ziyue had asked, he explained: "Madam, the missing son was only four years old this year. It was the time when he liked these gadgets. Maybe Princess Xue wanted to burn them. .”
Concubine De also added: "She is only four years old after the Chinese New Year. In fact, she is only three years old."
"You'd better go and ask around." Xie Ziyue was still uneasy:
"Since he has smallpox, it is even more important to find out these things. Xin Zhangjing, go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask if Concubine Xue wants to rattle recently."
Smallpox is dangerous. Xie Ziyue also suffered from it when she was a child. At that time, she was unconscious due to fever and had acne all over her body.
Smallpox was raging at that time, and many children died from it. She was lucky to survive, but she still remembers the feeling to this day.
My whole body felt itchy and painful, and my whole body was so hot that it was almost smoking.
It would be fine if no one is infected with this thing, but there are many children in the palace now. If someone gets infected, no one can bear the responsibility.
Xin Zhangjing heard the implication of his mother-in-law's words and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will ask you later."
Grandma Sun stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Empress, you are suspicious..."
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on herself, Xie Ziyue nodded slightly: "Well, you must pay attention to this matter."
I hope she's just overthinking it.
Grandma Sun suddenly became nervous, and looked at Gu Xuan with a confused look: "The eldest princess was so close just now, so we have to take care of her when we go back. Who knows if that rattle is some dirty thing?"
If it is really from the palace, it is easy to say, but if it is not taken from the palace, then it will be really hard to guard against.
Originally, the group of people planned to wander around more, but after this episode, everyone suddenly stopped thinking about wandering around.
After the two groups parted, they each returned to the palace.
Aunt Sun and Aunt Li were two capable people. After returning to Weiyang Palace, they smoked the whole palace with mugwort. The whole palace was filled with smoke, which made Gu Xuan cough repeatedly.
"I'm going to choke." She said and was about to go out, but Xie Ziyue quickly stopped her with quick eyes and hands:
"It's just going to be smoked like this. Just stay here and it'll be fine later."
"Mother~" Gu Xuan was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
"Cough cough cough -" Gu Xuan was about to say something when she heard a loud cough coming from outside the door, and at the same time there was the surprised voice of Grandma Sun:
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Why are you here?"
"I came over as soon as I had nothing to do," Han Xianzong said and coughed twice more: "What are you doing? Make this place so choked, cough cough cough -"
Laifu also covered his nose and fanned, looking around: "Where are the empress and princess?"
