It was late at night, and Zhao Chen once again played "The Battle of Jianghu" in front of the candle. The firelight was reflected on his handsome face.
Lin Zhiya was drowsy and vaguely saw Zhao Chen looking at his leg in deep thought. If he hadn't broken his leg, Zhao Chen might have been interested in learning the magic skills.
At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and the sound of turning pages of a book came from under the couch.
Lin Zhiya opened her eyes sharply and thought of the book "Gan Jiang Mo Ye" that she had hidden underneath.
Turning around again, fortunately Zhao Chen didn't notice. Lin Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief and turned over leisurely.
[We have to find a way to get the book out from underneath. It would be terrible if Zhao Chen saw it.]
Zhao Chen looked up upon hearing this, followed Lin Zhiya's line of sight and looked around the room, then called out, "Lai Xi, see what made that noise just now."
Lin Zhiya was dumbfounded and covered up, "There was no sound. Your Majesty heard it wrong."
[Zhao Chen's ears are too sharp. He heard the small sound under the couch. Damn it.]
...
...
Zhao Chen listened attentively and told Lai Xi, who looked confused, "I saw something under the couch. Take it out and have a look."
Lai Xi found a book under the couch and handed it to Zhao Chen. He held it in his hand and saw the red and green cover.
He perked up. He had just finished reading "Jianghu Zhengba" and Lin Zhiya was about to publish a new book. She was very efficient.
Zhao Chen opened the book. It was a story about sword-making and revenge. The text was very infectious, as if there was endless tenderness in it, which made people feel itchy.
Lin Zhiya covered her head silently, and after a while she couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Does it look good?"
Zhao Chen's eyelashes cast a shadow, and he said depressedly: "It's a bit weird."
Lin Zhiya took a look and saw that it said, xx looked at xxx, and there seemed to be endless longing in his eyes, which finally turned into a sentence: "The sword has been forged, waiting for your return."
The next sentence is, xxx coldly took xx's hand, clasped it hard on the sword, and the blood of the two people melted together.
Lin Zhiya said seriously: "This may be a way to express brotherhood."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen's mind worked quickly, and he sneered: "I have never seen brotherhood expressed in this way, it's too polite."
Seeing that she couldn't deceive him, Lin Zhiya had to shut her mouth.
Although Zhao Chen was not interested in the plot of the book, he was attracted by the magic sword in it. He looked at Lin Zhiya with burning eyes and said, "It would be great if our country also had a national treasure sword."
Lin Zhiya perfunctorily replied, "Doesn't the emperor have a big bow? The national bow, right?"
Zhao Chen's face turned black, and he said, "My legs haven't fully recovered yet, so I can't draw the bow."
Lin Zhiya turned her head to look at him in confusion and stated, "...Even when the emperor's legs are fine, he can't open them."
[How dare Zhao Chen think that? He wanted to draw the bow. Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter.]
Zhao Chen was furious. He grabbed Lin Zhiya's dangling ankle and refused to let her pull it back. "I was born with supernatural power. Of course I can pull it apart."
Lin Zhiya couldn't stop laughing: "Your Majesty is born with supernatural powers, how could I not know that? Your Majesty should just forget it, lest you hurt your waist."
[Zhao Chen is so good at boasting that the cow even flew into the sky.]
Zhao Chen took a deep breath, "Not only am I born with supernatural powers, I also know what you are thinking right now. Are you saying that I am bragging?"
Lin Zhiya quickly suppressed the expression on her face and looked at him expressionlessly.
[You can't see it now, right? ]
Zhao Chen threw the book away and asked Lai Xi to deal with it. Lai Xi gave it to his eunuch to throw away.
The young eunuch sat outside the door and read all night. He was completely amazed. His eyes began to wander over his companions on duty. Those who came into contact with his gaze shuddered and retreated away.
…
Lin Zhiya tied Zhao Chen's belt and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. Zhao Chen wanted to be intimate with her, but Lin Zhiya dodged him.
After sending Zhao Chen to the court, Ma Cainv came to visit. Her round face became thinner. After hesitating for a long time, she quietly told Lin Zhiya.
"Madam Wanpin, Yuan Cainu is ill. She almost drowned in the well last night. When she was fished out, she was only half alive."
Lin Zhiya didn't expect this to happen, and she became nervous. "She was not under house arrest for a long time, how could she fall into the well? What did the imperial physician say?"
Thinking about this period of time, all she heard was who was injured and who was sick. Lin Zhiya thought that her luck was too bad and she needed to change her luck together.
Ma Cainv felt a little uncomfortable when she mentioned her. "It's a little hard to explain. Ever since Yuan Cainv was confined last time, she has been neglected by the palace servants. We were supposed to be given seven new sets of clothes in autumn, but because Chi Rong came, some people speculated that Chi Rong would be taken into the harem by the emperor, so they rushed to curry favor with her."
Lin Zhiya unconsciously pulled down the corners of her mouth.
Ma Cainv was becoming more and more speechless. "Xiufang put Yuan Cainv's last and tried to curry favor with Chi Rong. Chi Rong is not a concubine or a member of the palace, so what is there for her? These people are really out of their minds. Yuan Cainv was furious when she found out."
Lin Zhiya: "Xiufang has a lot of ideas. I'll ask Hemei to ask and call the steward."
Ma Cainu said to Lin Zhiya excitedly: "Madam Wanpin, I knew I was right to find you."
Ma Cainv continued, "I heard that although Yuan Cainv was angry, she didn't do anything. But last night, Chi Rong vomited blood, and the imperial kitchen was smart enough to send the blood-replenishing soup and several dishes for Yuan Cainv to Chi Rong, and replaced Chi Rong's three dishes and one soup for Yuan Cainv."
Lin Zhiya couldn't remember the specifications of the meals for the concubines, but the three dishes and one soup were also divided into different grades. But there was no need to think about it, as Chi Rong Wuming and Wufen's meals must be ordinary.
...Yuan Cainü will definitely see it at a glance.
"After several twists and turns, all the tofu inside was broken. Yuan Cai was so angry that she wanted to go find the emperor. Before she got there, she tripped and fell into the well. After she was pulled out, she had a fever all night."
Lin Zhiya said in a deep voice: "Hemei, call the people who gave the advice from the imperial kitchen. I want to know what they mean."
Not long after, the palace maid from Xiufang came. She was a female official in her thirties. She fell to her knees on the ground and confessed her guilt quite readily.
"Please forgive me, Madam. I was distracted for a moment. Yuan Cainu's clothes have already been embroidered. I dare not tamper with them. I just changed the order of making the clothes. Please forgive me, Madam."
Lin Zhiya: "I won't make it difficult for you, but your position as a palace lady has reached its limit. Do you accept it?"
The female official didn't expect it to be that simple. When she came, she thought her life would be in danger. At the very least, she would be beaten with a stick and kicked out of the palace. Instead, she only lost her job.
He was beaten with a stick and had to lie down for ten days or half a month. If he had been outside the palace, he might have died due to lack of timely medical treatment.
She was terrified and filled with regret. Why should she try to curry favor with Chi Rong? What was Chi Rong in this harem?
The female official kowtowed and said: "I am convinced. Your Majesty is so merciful. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
"Majesty value +10."
Several people in the imperial kitchen were waiting for a long time, so Lin Zhiya and Ma Cainü sat for a while, and only when their patience ran out did Hemei come to report.
He Mei: "My lady, I found out who delivered food to Yuan Cainu yesterday, but the imperial kitchen said he hadn't shown up all day. I suspected that the imperial kitchen was hiding something bad. I searched for a long time but couldn't find him."
Did he flee for fear of crime? Lin Zhiya was puzzled. One had to bring a badge to come and go in the palace, so where could he run to?
