Chapter 52 Oh my god! I’m finally going back to the palace to see the heroine!
When Xiao Zhongzi heard this, he was so excited that his eyes turned red. "Thank you, Lady Xue, for thinking highly of me. As long as I can leave the cold palace, I will swear to be loyal to you till death!"
Xiao Zhongzi who doesn't want to be the chief eunuch is not a good eunuch.
Even though he was transferred to the Cold Palace after offending someone, he did not give up on himself. He always worked hard to maintain order in the Cold Palace and led the palace maids and eunuchs in the Cold Palace to do their job well.
He was an ambitious man, and certainly didn't want to spend his whole life guarding this dilapidated cold palace.
Now he finally got the chance to turn things around!
The two chatted as they walked towards the noisy area in front of them, intending to see what the excitement was.
When passing by the yard where Xiao Zhongzi lived, Xue Youli unexpectedly discovered that there was a large field of sorghum growing in his yard.
Sorghum can be used to make porridge and rice, ground into sorghum flour, or used to make wine.
The most important thing is that sorghum can be planted in both spring and summer, has a short growth cycle, and is resistant to both waterlogging and drought.
Spring sowing is done in April and May, and the harvest can be harvested in September and October. Summer sowing is done in June, and the harvest can be harvested in October.
If we plant sorghum on a large scale now, can't we avoid famine at the end of the year?
Xue Youli thought about it, and his eyes lit up, "Xiao Zhongzi, did you plant these sorghums?"
Seeing Xue Youli stop and look at the sorghum field, Xiao Zhongzi lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "My lady, the servants working in the cold palace often don't have enough to eat. I felt it was a pity to leave this piece of land in the cold palace uncultivated, so I tried to plant the sorghum seeds that my second uncle asked someone to bring from the north last year in the open space in the yard. Unexpectedly, the harvest was very good, so I will continue to plant it this year."
He was farming in the cold palace, which was not only against palace rules but also not a decent thing to do.
In order to find a legitimate reason to ask Murong Che to promote the cultivation of drought-resistant plants, Xue Youli almost wore out all the books in the library.
Now looking at this field of tall and strong sorghum, she thought she had found the best reason!
Jinghua Temple is far away from the capital.
When Empress Dowager Yin heard Nanny Li beside her talk about Concubine Li's miscarriage, her face darkened. "It's only been a short time since I left the palace, and there's such a big mess in the palace?"
The emperor had few children to begin with, and Concubine Li's baby died in her belly. How could she not be angry?
Nanny Li said quickly, "Empress Dowager, please calm down. The Emperor has already banished Concubine Fang who offended Concubine Li to the cold palace."
Queen Mother Yin snorted coldly, "The Emperor was merciful by not executing her on the spot for harming the royal heir. But the harem cannot be without a master for a day."
Queen Mother Yin sighed, turned to the girl who was massaging her temples and said, "Yue'er, you should pack up as well. We will leave for the palace in three days."
"yes."
Chu Xinyue bowed to her politely, then turned and left the room.
The moment she closed the door, she jumped a few times excitedly and almost cried for joy.
Woohoo! Great! I am finally leaving this broken temple!
She was trapped in Jinghua Temple for more than two months. Every day she either chanted scriptures or meditated. She also had to be extremely worried in case Queen Mother Yin discovered her identity. Her life was so miserable!
Chu Xinyue was so happy at the thought that she would be able to return to the palace soon to live a life of luxury and debauchery!
Considering the timeline, her heroine should have gained the trust of the short-lived emperor, right?
When the two meet, she will personally match the hero and the heroine!
It won’t be long before she can support the male and female protagonists on the spot and cheer for them in person!
Which author can be as happy as her!
The more Chu Xinyue thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn't wait to fly back to Beijing to see the heroine!
Capital city, imperial palace.
Minghua Hall, Tianxiang Pavilion.
"What? You said that Lu Zhou from the library escaped to the cold palace?"
After Xue Qingyao heard Lian Xin's report, his eyes instantly turned cold.
Lu Zhou and Lu Liu were palace maids working in the library. On the day Yin Xuan'er fell down the stairs, it was they who identified Xue Youli.
In the past two days, Xue Qingyao heard that someone secretly paid a high price to buy these two palace maids.
She could guess with her toes that it must be Xue Youli.
I didn't expect that this woman would not give up even after being sent to the cold palace!
In order to prevent someone from prying open the mouths of the two palace maids, Xue Qingyao took the initiative and sent people to deal with Lu Zhou and Lu Liu.
Lvliu was stabbed in the chest by a sword and died instantly.
After being seriously injured, Lu Zhou tried to escape for his life. When he fled to the cold palace, he was dragged into the cold palace by a young eunuch who passed by.
This is the latest news that Lian Xin has found out. "Yes, I also heard that Xue Youli saved Lu Zhou and plans to ask the emperor to go to the cold palace tomorrow and let Lu Zhou change his confession for him."
Xue Qingyao was surprised that Xue Youli knew medical skills.
Xue Youli saved Lu Zhou's life this time, so there is no guarantee that Lu Zhou will not tell the truth in order to repay the favor.
no!
I had finally managed to send Xue Youli to the cold palace, how could I let her out again?
Xue Qingyao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he raised his hand as if to cut his neck with a knife, "Then Lu Zhou will never be able to speak again."
The assassin sent to the cold palace was not without the ability to kill Xue Youli. He deliberately missed the target and left the Xuanyun Palace's badge in the cold palace.
I originally wanted to let Xue Youli and Yin Xuaner fight each other.
Who would have thought that Xue Youli, who usually bit her like a mad dog, would not dare to call out to her when she met a concubine of high rank like Yin Xuan'er.
What a coward!
Now Xue Youli wants to use Lu Zhou's confession to leave the cold palace. How could I give her this opportunity?
…
The night is deep and everything is silent.
The cold palace is in a quiet courtyard at the end.
Banxia looked at the body on the bed, a trace of worry in her eyes, "Master, will the assassin really come?"
Xue Youli raised the corners of his lips slightly, and replied firmly, "Yes."
Given Xue Qingyao's attitude of preferring to kill a thousand people by mistake rather than let one go, there was no way she would give Lu Zhou a chance to speak.
So tonight, the assassin will definitely come to kill and silence people.
The green boat was picked up by Xiao Zhongzi from the gate of the cold palace two hours ago.
She was seriously injured at the time and was hanging on for life.
She died before Xue Youli even had the chance to treat her wounds.
After recognizing that Lu Zhou was the palace maid who identified her in the library that day, Xue Youli immediately checked the Book of Heaven's Secrets and learned that it was Xue Qingyao who ordered the act.
So, she took advantage of the situation and asked Xiao Zhongzi to spread the news that she had saved Lu Zhou.
"Banxia, Lu Zhou is awake. Let's go see if Xiao Zhongzi has prepared the medicine."
Xue Youli said this deliberately loudly.
Banxia also cooperated and responded loudly, "Okay!"
As soon as the master and servant left, a dark shadow sneaked into the house.
He looked at the person lying on the big bed, his eyes narrowed coldly, and murderous aura emanated from his body.
His mission tonight is to silence them!
But!
Before the black shadow reached the bed, a huge net suddenly dropped from above his head and caught him tightly in the net at lightning speed.
"Master, caught him!"
