Chapter 027 Selling a Favor

Soon it was night.

The nights in the mountains are exceptionally quiet, and you can occasionally hear the calls of insects and frogs.

Unlike the heat in Ancheng, the nights here are particularly comfortable.

Xia Xue took a hot bath and prepared to go to bed when Chu Zhenxuan came back.

"My husband has worked hard."

Chu Zhenxuan raised the corner of his mouth, nodded, and then walked towards the main room.

Should I tell him?

Chu Zhenxuan stopped in his tracks.

Forget it, he is so close to Concubine Rong, who knows what role he plays?

Chu Zhenxuan:......

Chu Zhenxuan: How could you know that my eyes saw the truth and the intimate relationship between Rong Fei?

Chu Zhenxuan: The Li family is now in cahoots with Prince Lu. Yes, it was you who facilitated this. So there must be a battle between the Emperor and the Li and Lu families. How can the Emperor get close to Concubine Rong again?

Chu Zhenxuan: And before, Rong Fei did want to capture the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister always refused.

Chu Zhenxuan shook his head and thought, forget it, it’s better not to let this little woman know about these things. Xia Xue has weird ideas to begin with, and if she knew about it, something might go wrong.

He's shaking his head and swaying his mind, and I don't know what evil ideas he's up to!

Chu Zhenxuan:!!!

Chu Zhenxuan: +40.

Stepped into the main room.

At this time, Xia Lu came back.

"How's it going?"

"The rabbits and feed have been delivered. I also brought the things my sister sent." Xia Lu's eyes were red.

"Okay, go and rest quickly."

Xia Lu nodded and returned to her room dejectedly.

Xia Xue looked at her back and sighed.

If this girl knew that the rabbit she raised could help her do a favor for Concubine Ying, she would definitely not be so sad.

Yes, it is Concubine Ying.

Fu Yuqing told her that Li Tingting and the two strange women were all part of the catering team as concubines of Concubine Ying's small kitchen. Concubine Ying's wet nurse was greedy for money, so she hired a few cheap cooks to take them on the journey. However, something happened during the break, and one of the cooks discovered Fu Yuqing when she was urinating. In order to protect herself, Fu Yuqing turned around and hit the cook, and then changed into her clothes and put on a thin veil.

So Xia Yuqing sent a rabbit and poisonous food. If Concubine Ying could understand what she meant, she would owe her a big favor.

Over here, Rong Fei was having supper with Li Tingting.

At this time, the servant came to report.

"Things are going well, everything is normal."

"Did anything special happen?"

"Madam Chu sent someone to deliver a rabbit to Concubine Ying."

"rabbit?"

Concubine Rong laughed. Could it be that Madam Chu thought Concubine Ying looked like a rabbit?

"Even if that's the case, Xia Xue wouldn't dare to directly satirize Concubine Ying, right?" Li Tingting said angrily.

"That girl has been spoiled by the Xia family. She speaks without restraint and is afraid to say anything. You'd better stay away from her." Concubine Rong said.

"My sister has been bullied by her so many times, let's just do it this time"

"No! Expanding the scope of attack will only make you more dangerous. The more you do, the easier it is to leave evidence behind."

Li Tingting pouted and nodded helplessly.

"When Concubine Ying is removed from office, your sister will become the Imperial Concubine. Who will you seek revenge on? It's all legitimate. You can do whatever you want!"

When Li Tingting heard Rong Fei say this, she immediately became very happy and went forward to hug Rong Fei's arm, "I knew that my sister is the best."

On the other side, Concubine Ying was holding some grass and happily teasing the rabbit.

"I have no contact with the Chu or Xia families, but Madam Chu unexpectedly sent me two rabbits."

"Mrs. Chu, do you think that you are like the Rabbit Fairy, pure and beautiful?"

"Moreover, Madam Chu asked her concubine sister to come and see her off in person. Is this an attempt to show goodwill to the Empress?"

Concubine Ying was stunned for a moment.

Show goodwill?

It is well known that Madam Chu is a powerful person, and given the power of the Xia and Chu families in the court, there is no need for Madam Chu to show goodwill to her.

If it wasn't a gesture of goodwill, would it be

Warning???

"What did the people who sent the rabbits just now say?" asked Concubine Ying.

"She said there is rabbit food here. Domestic rabbits are picky and want to eat their own food," the maid replied.

Another maid hurried to fill in.

Then the servant asked, "How many times can we eat this little food?"

She replied, "These are enough. If rabbits eat too much, they will bite people, especially those who are used to eating their own food."

"I thought, could this rabbit be raised to be a noble? So I went outside to get some grass. Look, Madam, isn't it eating well?"

"Bring the food she brought." Concubine Ying's face changed instantly.

The maid was a little confused and hurried to get it.

When I opened the private package, there was only one blade of grass.

"Hey."

The maid hurriedly put it into the cage.

The rabbit in front ate it happily and had only eaten half of it.

Suddenly he groaned a few times, then lay down, with white foam coming out of his mouth.

The other rabbit seemed frightened and kicked the cage.

"How could this happen?" the maid exclaimed.

"This Madam Chu is too presumptuous. Your Majesty, let's go tell the Emperor."

"You two, go back to your room quietly and check our luggage to see if anyone has left anything dirty in it. Then check our room carefully." Concubine Ying frowned and said, "Be sure to be gentle."

The maidservant didn't understand either, but looking at Concubine Ying's expression, she knew it was not a good thing.

After checking all the items, it was already late at night.

Two maids came to report, no problem.

Concubine Ying pounded the table with her hand, "Rabbit's own food is poisoned."

"Homemade food, homemade food."

"Will a rabbit that eats its own food bite people?"

"What exactly does Madam Chu mean?"

Suddenly, Concubine Ying's eyes lit up.

"Kitchen???"

The next morning, just as the catering team delivered breakfast, Fu Yuqing, dressed in men's clothes, appeared in front of Xia Xue.

Xia Xue raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you reluctant to come back?"

Fu Qingyu smiled and said, "If you don't come back, you'll be dead."

Fu Yuqing started to mutter.

Early in the morning, Concubine Ying said that the meals prepared by the small kitchen these days were particularly to her liking, and asked the cooks to prepare breakfast for her and the emperor.

When Li Tingting heard this, she was so scared that her pants fell off and she said she would go after changing her clothes.

As a result, after waiting for a while, there was no sign of him. He was not in the kitchen or the toilet. It was likely that he had escaped.

I also took the opportunity to run away.

"Just run away. Just stay here quietly for a few days and don't let anyone recognize you." Xia Xue scooped a mouthful of porridge.

"Princess Rong will definitely look for a scapegoat. It depends on who she finds."

Fu Yuqing was also a little scared. She should have listened to Xia Xue last night and not returned to the kitchen. She was still thinking about finding out more information, but this happened this morning.

"Could it be that Concubine Ying noticed?"

"It's normal to notice. Concubine Ying, who has no family background at all, has been able to climb to her current position and still stand firm. Of course, she has her own strengths." Xia Xue took a bite of the coconut cake and continued, "If you must enter the palace, relying on Concubine Ying is also a good choice."

I said this to Xia Lu.

After dating this girl these days, Xia Xue feels that Xia Lu herself wants to enter the palace even more. Now that Xia Lu has grown up, she is no longer the little white rabbit that can be manipulated by anyone. If she insists on entering the palace, she can rely on Concubine Ying. One relies on family background, and the other relies on brains, so there won't be too many conflicts.

Xia Lu nodded, a blush passing across her pretty face.
