Queen's scheming

Chapter 269 Qiu Ju
"Sister Qiu Ju, I just burned my ankle in the main hall, I wonder if I can go to your place for medicine?" Bai Guiren looked at Qiu Gengyi eagerly and said.

Qiu Ju glanced at Bai Guiren, and saw that she raised her left foot slightly when she was walking, which was obviously a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to be troublesome at first, but at this time Chun Tao had already returned to her Nuan Pavilion, and she still had to talk to Bai Gui. The nobleman walked together for a while to get to the wing where she was.

Rui Xin supported Bai Guiren, and said: "Miss Qiu, my mistress was scalded by your concubine's tea just now, and she didn't dare to say anything in Zhaoyang Palace, so she endured it all the time, but I can't do this Go back to Lingyun Palace, and ask my little master Qiu to help me, at least let my little master apply the ointment, and I will never stay in your palace any longer!"

Qiu Ju sighed, thinking that the time to meet with that person was not yet up, if Bai Guiren only delayed for a quarter of an hour, it shouldn't matter, so she said: "In that case, Bai Guiren will come with me, it's just my Yingsi Pavilion is very simple, it's good that the noble sister doesn't mind neglecting her!"

"Where is it, it's too late for me to thank sister Qiu Ju, how can I dislike it." Bai Guiren said with a smile, a smile burst from the bottom of his heart, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After entering the Yingsi Pavilion, Qiu Ju ordered the little maid to find some scalding medicine, and after removing the white nobleman's shoes and socks, there was no serious problem, at least there were no blisters, but it was a little red.

Bai Guiren hurriedly thanked her, which made Qiu Ju feel a little embarrassed.I couldn't help persuading: "I, Chuntao and Dong Changyi are all that's it, we are serving your concubine, and we are both maids, so we have to be careful, look at her face, why bother Mrs. Bai? If you said that you wanted your concubine to help you before, but now you say that you are not small, and you are also a noble person of the sixth rank. You really don’t have to compromise like this. At any rate, today’s tea was spilled on your feet. Her eldest lady got angry and poured hot tea on your face, what are you going to do? Your concubine and empress treat us as serious little masters, so you can't do this!"

Hearing this, Bai Guiren thanked me even more, with tears running down her cheeks, she said: "Sister Qiuju is willing to tell me this, it shows that she is sincerely treating me well, how can others patiently tell me this, and laugh at me before it's too late?" If it weren't for help, who would want to live a life like this? To put it bluntly, this noble concubine is even more intolerable than our empress! You and Sister Chuntao can still have a fight with her Make trouble, but I dare not. You often say that I was born as an official lady, but I would rather look like you. To tell the truth from sister Qiuju, my father and brother committed some crimes, and the account book was kept by our noble concubine. Brother holds it in my hands, if I dare to show any disrespect to your concubine, the account book will be handed over to the emperor!"

"It turned out to be like this. No wonder you obey your concubine's words. No matter how angry she is, you don't dare to disobey her. So it's because of this. Then you really have a worse life than me and Chuntao." Qiu Previously, Ju only thought that all the young masters in the palace were better than her and Chuntao, but she didn't expect that the life of the official lady was not as comfortable as theirs.

Bai Guiren continued to wipe away his tears, and said: "I can't do anything, I have been in the palace for five or six years, if it wasn't for this matter, how would I be willing to stand up? To be honest, in this harem, everyone who does their duty For your part, the empress will also let you live comfortably for the rest of your life. But when something like my father and brother happened, I can't stay out of it. I can't serve my parents and my eyes when I enter the palace. If I allow my father and brother to be held accountable, then I am not acting like a daughter. Therefore, I am so submissive and let my concubine order me around. Even if my concubine's food caused me to lose my child, I can't complain! "

Qiu Ju's sympathy was aroused, and she comforted Bai Guiren a few more words. After Bai Guiren stopped crying, she realized that half an hour had passed, and hurriedly got up and said anxiously: "I still have something to do, so I won't send you off. White nobleman!"

When Bai Guiren heard this, he already guessed nine times out of ten in his heart, and hurriedly got up and said: "It's all my fault for causing trouble to sister Qiuju. I just complained to you blindly, but I forgot the time. I'll be leaving in a while, if sister Qiuju encounters any difficulties next time, she can go to Lingyun Palace to find me, if I can help, I will definitely help you!"

Qiu Ju waved her hands again and again, and said: "I'm nothing, I'm fine, and it's the empress's favor. Even if your concubine doesn't want to, she won't do anything to Chuntao!"

Seeing Qiu Ju's anxious expression, Bai Guiren understood, and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back to the palace first, and I will find a thank you gift for you someday. I hope sister Qiu Ju won't shirk!"

"No, no, hurry up and leave!" Qiu Ju was so anxious that she was about to push Bai Guiren to the back.

Unexpectedly, the more anxious Qiu Ju became, the more troubles happened to Bai Guiren. He hadn't stepped out of the threshold of Yingsi Pavilion, but because the threshold was relatively high, he didn't step over all of a sudden. It became red and swollen, Qiu Ju was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, she turned around and told the little maid in front of her to go out and have a look, but she didn't elaborate on what to see, the maid seemed to understand it very well, and ran out immediately .

But before the little palace maid ran away, Bai Guiren gave a 'huh' and said: "Isn't this guard not allowed to enter the gate of Zhaoyang Palace? Then why did a guard climb over the wall and come in? Rui Xin, hurry up , Take that guard down, if you are so unruly, if you offend Miss Qiu, how many mouths you have, I can't tell!"

After hearing this, Ruixin was about to call out, but Qiu Ju stopped her and said, "Don't call out, don't call out, that person is not someone else, he was an old acquaintance with me, it was me... I called him over, and asked some questions. Things about my hometown." Qiu Ju blushed so much that she was about to bleed, but for the guard, she actually supported herself so that she didn't look so guilty.

Bai Guiren was a little worried, so he asked Ruixin to help him up and said, "Sister Qiuju, I'm not talking about you. You are now the young master, but it's different from when you were a palace maid. This concubine is most taboo to be with the guards It is expressly forbidden in the palace rules to get involved in a relationship. You actually called the guards to your own palace. You should be more careful in the future. Don’t let your concubine know about this, otherwise you will not die. Know."

Qiu Ju repeatedly said yes, and said: "I know this in my heart, and I will never do it again next time. I will send people away, and I ask Sister Bai not to tell this matter."

Bai Guiren nodded, and Qiu Ju hurriedly sent a message to the little maid next to her, that the guard had entered over the wall, and there would have been someone to answer her, but there should be no outsiders in Yingsi Pavilion right now, but she didn't expect that there would be someone outside. When others were present, he climbed over the wall and stood there in a daze, sweating profusely, not knowing what to do. Seeing someone telling him to leave quickly, he immediately rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and ran away.

Seeing someone running out of the gate of Yingsi Pavilion, Qiu Ju breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Sister Bai!"

Bai Guiren frowned, and said with a bit of seriousness in his voice: "It's too early for you to thank me now, and no one can say whether this matter will be spread."

Qiu Ju was taken aback, and hurriedly tugged on Bai Guiren's sleeve and said, "Didn't Sister Bai promise me that she wouldn't tell me?"

Bai Guiren held Qiu Ju's cold fingers with his backhand, pulled Qiu Ju to sit aside, and said, "Where is this Zhaoyang Palace? It's the palace of your concubine, and the guards around here are all our concubine." The elder brother of the empress, the young general Tang, who is now deeply trusted by the emperor, arranged it. If the guard just climbed over the wall, you and I ordered someone to subdue him, and brought him to your concubine, saying that he had overturned your body. Yingsi Pavilion, trying to steal in vain, let your concubine deal with it, and this matter will never threaten you again!"

"How can it be done? Your concubine will definitely take his life!" Qiu Ju objected loudly, seeing Bai Guiren looking at her with strange eyes, she quickly softened her tone and said: "After all, it is a fellow, even if it is It can't be of much help, and it can't hurt anyone!"

Bai Guiren sighed and said: "I knew you were kind, and you would never do such a thing, that's why I didn't propose this method just now, but let you send people away. It's just that it buried the truth. Hidden danger, even if he also cherishes the fellowship with you, he will not tell others about it, but in this clear sky, is it true that no one else sees him? Even if no one sees, the person who is on duty with him, I will definitely know, with so many people, who can guarantee that a single gossip will not be spread?"

Every time Bai Guiren said something, Qiu Ju frowned, and at the end, Qiu Ju was so worried that she was about to die, and asked timidly: "What if... if someone finds out? I just want to ask him a few things about his hometown, there is really nothing else."

Bai Guiren took Qiu Ju's hand and said pityingly: "Oh, my silly girl, this noble concubine is always looking at you to dislike you, and she is looking for excuses for you everywhere. Fortunately, you are the one who will be the best one. Sending it to others, of course my sister believes that you are innocent, but the precious concubine doesn't think so. When the time comes, just treat me as if you were treating the guard's family, and then threaten and lure him. I will definitely change my mind and say that I came to Yingsi Pavilion to have a tryst with you. With such a big hat on, neither of you will be able to survive! I advise my sister to stay more stable during this period, and never interact with that guard again Well, let's talk about it after this period of time. If the guard did a good job of concealing the matter before, and no one has passed on the matter to your concubine, then that's all. You don’t know the guard, it’s the guard who came here today to steal the property, you showed kindness and let him go, but he didn’t expect him to accuse you. Remember ?"

Qiu Ju nodded tremblingly, not knowing what to say for a long time!
On the way back, Rui Xin asked Bai Gui in a low voice: "Master, will you tell your concubine about this matter?"

Bai Guiren sneered, and carefully looked at the impatiens flower juice on his fingertips, it seemed that there was uneven dyeing, and said: "This little master finally got such good news, how could it be cheaper for Tang Aoxue? Just look at it." Let's go!"
