At this time, the eunuch Wang Yun came and whispered something to Emperor Jian'an.

Emperor Jian'an was shocked. He looked at the actor lingeringly for a moment, then put Su Lili aside and left in a hurry.

Over there, after just one song, the actor bowed leisurely, his voice was crisp and sweet, "I wish the virtuous concubine peace and happiness, longevity and everything goes well."

"Very good, look at the reward!"

After receiving the eye hint, Nanny Li understood what she meant and immediately threw over a bag of silver coins.

After that, there were several more singing segments, all of which were classic Kunqu opera pieces, performed vividly.

Su Lili was so moved by what she saw that she clapped her hands hard.

[Good singing, great singing, really good singing, really good singing! ]

Looking back on those years, I also sang for fun, but was reported by Wudao Zhenren next door and was banned from singing ever since.

Alas, what a sad tear!

...

...

Sighing, Su Lili lowered her head slightly, seeming quite sad.

Before they knew it, the play was over, but the actor was still reluctant to leave and instead began to wipe away his tears.

"My Lady, please save me. After the show is over, Yue Niang will sell me to a wealthy businessman as a concubine. But that wealthy businessman has a habit of abusing people, and he has tortured countless concubines to death!"

"I have heard that the virtuous concubine is kind-hearted. If you can take me in and save me from suffering, I will be happy to serve you like a cow or a horse!"

The actor cried more and more sadly, and his frail posture made me feel pity for him.

Below the stage, the Queen couldn't help but feel compassion and gently squeezed Concubine Xian's hand.

"Huilan, she is so pitiful. Why not take her in temporarily and find a good place for her to live."

"It's not easy for actors either. Their key position is still very low. If they are not saved, then she will really be dead."

Xian Fei nodded, feeling somewhat reluctant, and raised her voice slightly, saying, "If that's the case, then you can stay for now. When the storm is over, I will give you some money and let you start your own business to support yourself."

"Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your kindness!"

The actor was so happy that tears welled up in his eyes. "My name is Hong'er. From now on, I will be your servant. I hope you will not despise me and let me serve you."

"Okay." Concubine Xian nodded with a smile. "Saving you is just a matter of convenience. The palace is different from the outside world. There are many dangers. It is necessary to be cautious in what you say and do."

"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will remember it. Madam, you are such a good person!"

"Madame Li, take Hong'er downstairs to remove her makeup and change her clothes. From now on, she will belong to Weirui Palace."

Before they knew it, it was almost dusk and the Queen and Concubine Shu also said goodbye.

Hong'er also changed her clothes and walked slowly over accompanied by Nanny Li. Her maid's clothes outlined her slender and exquisite figure, and her slanted phoenix eyes were bright and lively.

"This servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Concubine!"

Judging from her appearance, she is indeed a charming beauty, no wonder she is favored by wealthy businessmen.

Xian Fei let down her guard a little, smiled and nodded, saying, "My beauty, you are indeed a rare beauty. I would rather promise you a good marriage."

Marriage?! Hong'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, "In that case, thank you very much, Madam!"

With a marriage, she can completely escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Concubine Xian is really her benefactor.

When I thought about my mission again, I felt even more reluctant.

However, the antidote is in the hands of her master, so she has to do bad things against her conscience.

After a few days, Hong'er became familiar with the people in Weirui Palace. Su Lili always felt that this name seemed familiar, but she just couldn't remember it.

That day, Hong'er came and placed a bowl of hot porridge next to Concubine Xian.

"This is the purple rice and seashell porridge that has just been cooked in the kitchen. I brought some here specially for you to have a taste."

The virtuous concubine couldn't help but smell the aroma of rice and meat. Just as she was about to take a sip, she was held down by Su Lili in her arms.

“Ah, ah!”

[Mother, this porridge is poisonous and cannot be drunk. I finally remembered that Hong'er is a very bad person! ]

[She is not an actress at all, but a Miaojiang Gu woman. She put a terrible Gu poison in this porridge. If you drink it, you will be controlled by the Gu worm! ]

[Mother, mother, please drive her away quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! ]

Su Lili's face was filled with excitement, and Concubine Xian's smile suddenly faded.

Although it is a little hard to believe, it is better to believe it than not.

"Hong'er, you've been working hard these days, why not drink this porridge to replenish your body."

"This..." After saying this, Hong'er's face turned pale, and her fingers clenched subconsciously, "This is food specially prepared for the master, but I am just a servant, and I am not qualified to enjoy it at all."

"Oh, if the Queen wants you to drink, then drink. The Queen is pleased with you and is bestowing grace upon you!"

Nanny Li didn't notice anything was wrong and just kept urging her. Hong'er knew she couldn't refuse, so she could only raise the bowl of porridge tremblingly.

[Hahaha, good job, mother. Now, let's see how Hong'er drinks this poisonous porridge! ]

[I guess she will knock over the porridge bowl next, then kneel down in a pretentious manner, crying and apologizing to her mother! ]

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the bowl of porridge was broken.

Hong'er's eyes turned red, and she immediately knelt on the ground, trembling, and said with a slight sob, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I actually knocked over the reward given by the queen..."

"I deserve to die, please punish me severely, Madam. I am so sorry, Madam!"

Hong'er cried more and more sadly, thinking that Concubine Xian would say something to comfort her, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xian's eyes were always fixed on "Sea Shell".

This is not a sea shell at all, it is clearly a living insect, and it looks disgusting.

[Look, look, this is the poisonous insect, added specially to control my mother. It's scary, so scary! ]

The virtuous concubine was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and she hugged the baby in her cradle tightly.

Take a deep breath and try to look calm.

He opened his lips and whispered softly, "Since it's spilled, just pick it up and throw it away. It's not a big deal."

[Lululu, bad woman, pack your things and get out of here. Mother is so kind that she actually wants to keep you by her side. Don’t you know what it means to raise a tiger to cause trouble? ]

[Alas, it seems that you can only rely on me from now on, otherwise, sooner or later, your mother will be killed by your scheme! ]

Su Lili felt very sorry, but she was young and couldn't speak, so she didn't know how to persuade her mother.

She lowered her head and played with her little hands, her long eyelashes casting two small shadows.

Looking at the baby's adorable appearance, Hong'er subconsciously gritted her teeth. She had just realized that Concubine Xian didn't drink the porridge because of her baby's reaction.

What a nasty stumbling block! No wonder the owner dislikes it and wants to kill it.
