Chapter 308
Jia Zhaoyi's eyelids twitched, not daring to look up and meet her.

However, Shang Kelan glanced at the gloomy sky, stretched out his hand with emotion and said, "I don't know when the snow in the palace will stop!"

Her voice was quiet, but it was heart-wrenching.

"Maybe when spring starts, the snow will stop."

Jia Zhaoyi tried her best to maintain a calm posture to talk to Shang Kelan.

The next moment, Shang Kelan squinted at her, without saying a word, got into the sedan chair and drove away.

Zhizi and Zhiqiu followed behind her.

Jia Zhaoyi felt relieved, bowed his knees and saluted: "The concubine respectfully sends off the concubine Chen!"

After Shang Kelan and others walked away, Jia Zhaoyi felt her legs go limp and fell into Hongmei's embrace.

Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly supported her, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, this servant will help you in, it's too cold outside, and Concubine Chen has sent charcoal."

Jia Zhaoyi nodded, and when she returned to the bedroom, she looked down at the red and swollen leg, and said in a dazed way: "Hongmei, if anyone asks me about my leg injury, you can answer it from Congxi." It was left over from the time Menggong fell down."

Hongmei brought her a cup of hot tea, and asked in puzzlement, "Ma'am, why is this?"

Gently shaking her head, Jia Zhaoyi said with deep eyes: "No reason, you can answer like this, especially the people in Concubine Chen's Palace."

Thinking back, Na Zhiqiu did ask Hongmei this question in private just now, but Hongmei was in a hurry to go outside to see the situation, so she didn't have time to answer her.

Therefore, Hongmei nodded and said: "I understand, empress, you should rest first. The servant went to the imperial dining room to get you lunch. After a long delay, I don't know if the people in the imperial dining room have left it for you."

Jia Zhaoyi smiled, looked away from the leg injury, and said: "Don't worry, now that Concubine Chen has saved my life, everyone in the harem should understand that I am from Concubine Chen's side, and no one dares to take care of me." Bring the cold dishes to Ben Gong."

But Hongmei still hesitated and said: "But ma'am, the manager of the imperial dining room is the person from Concubine Chen..."

Hearing this, Jia Zhaoyi raised her eyes to look at her, and smiled even wider: "Don't forget, how the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen punished the little Concubine Chen, now she should be called Chen Zhaoyi."

Hongmei came to her senses, and smiled immediately: "Yes, from now on, Chen Zhaoyi will be equal to you, let's see who dares to bully you!"

Both the master and the servant smiled, and Jia Zhaoyi became more determined in her heart, and she was on the side of Concubine Chen.

The palace people were walking back to the Xianya Palace, and Shang Kelan, who was wearing a purple fur-collared cloak, was sitting in the sedan chair with a calm expression. She seemed to be smiling, but upon closer inspection, she didn't seem to be there.

This demeanor gives people a kind feeling, but the beautiful appearance deeply makes people feel a sense of nobility, which makes people dare not profane.

Zhiqiu followed her, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Madam, this servant has checked Jia Zhaoyi's leg injury, it doesn't seem to be caused by wrestling..."

If he fell from the sedan chair and hit the ice, the bruises on his legs would not be this color at all without treatment for so many days.

Hearing this, Shang Kelan raised her red lips slightly, and said, "I understand, Zhiqiu, you just need to cure her."

Zhizi vaguely understood Shang Kelan's thoughts, so she patted Zhiqiu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows it well, I'll go back later, you come with me to see if Xiaoxia has done anything new. By the way, let’s tell Eunuch Li that he is going to take over the position of the head of the imperial dining room again!”

Nodding his head, Zhiqiu put the matter behind him.

Shang Kelan knew in her heart that what Jia Zhaoyi did was just to win her sympathy.

It's just that a few people were about to enter the Xianya Palace when a maidservant in a light green palace jacket suddenly broke out and died in front of the sedan chair.

The head servant was startled immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to point at her angrily and said: "Bold servant girl, dare to disturb the imperial concubine Chen, someone, come and take her down!"

A few servants surrounded the maidservant, who immediately struggled and kept looking at Shang Kelan's position, shouting loudly: "My lady, this servant is Yuliu, my lady! This servant wants to tell you something! "

Zhizi's eyes flickered slightly, she took a step forward and waved to the servants.

Immediately, the servants dispersed, Shang Kelan gracefully stroked the bun on his head, and asked without interest, "What's the matter, tell me."

This kind of her is even more incomprehensible than the quiet look before.

Especially the look in her eyes, which looks exaggerated when done by others, but very natural when done by Shang Kelan.

Yuliu pursed her lips, lowered her head tightly, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please let the servants return to the Xianya Palace! Your Majesty has saved the servants' lives, and the servants want to return to you and serve you by your side For the rest of my life, this servant is willing to repay you with the labor of a dog and a horse!"

As she spoke, she mercilessly kowtowed a few times on the cold ground.

The skin touched the ground, and the cold feeling pierced into the pores and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Only then did Shang Kelan withdraw her hand and set her gaze on her.

After looking at her for a while, I didn't see any sign of trembling in her.

Then he waved his hand and got out of the sedan chair, Zhizi helped her to come to Yuliu.

Shang Kelan looked down at her and said: "Yu Liu, I changed this name for you at the beginning. Speaking of the things before leaving the palace, it seems that I have been far away..."

As she said that, Shang Kelan's voice became a little ethereal, but soon, her voice returned to its original state: "Come in, I will talk to you."

Afterwards, Yu Zhiqiu helped Shang Kelan into the bedroom, Yuliu looked happy, and quickly got up to follow behind her.

Zhizi stopped in place, and after Shang Kelan and the others entered the bedroom, she turned around, glanced at these people with a serious and cold expression: "No matter what happened just now, you should just be blind and deaf, and you can't see. I didn’t hear it, if the news about Caicai just got out, the empress will spare you, but I won’t, if one of you dares to leak the news, all of you will die, understand!”

These words made them all bow their heads in fright, and said, "Your servant understands!"

Only then did Zhizi soften her voice, and said: "Your Majesty has been in the palace for so long, she has never committed any crimes to anyone, and she has always tolerated you all. Later, I will send people to the House of Internal Affairs to bring more quilts for you. Everyone, let’s make it easier for everyone to spend the winter.”

"Thank you, Miss Gardenia!"

After everyone thanked them, they were scattered away by Zhizi.

This is what the eldest son taught her. In the palace, one should be ruthless. It seems useless to slap a sweet date, but it is the most able to control the people under him to keep their mouths shut.

After dealing with them, Zhizi turned and entered the house.

At the same time, in the bedroom.

After taking a sip of tea, Shang Kelan sat leisurely on the chair, looked down at Yuliu who was kneeling in front of her, and said, "It's not impossible for you to stay by Bengong's side, but in this palace, only The position of a first-class palace maid is still vacant, how can you prove to this palace that you have the ability to take this position?"

Yuliu took out a token from her bosom without any hesitation, and said loudly, "Mother, this is the identity token that Concubine Jia hid in the secret compartment. The maidservant sneaked in the night before Concubine Jia returned. I stole it out of Ximeng Palace, and dedicated this token to the empress to show the sincerity of my slaves!"
