Chapter 60
The sky is bright and the air is clear, the elegant palace.

Xiao Xia set up her lunch, but she didn't see Shang Kelan and Zhi Zi coming back for a long time, she couldn't help but eagerly came to the gate of the palace to look around.

Wan Dong smiled and said to her: "Come back soon, the sun is so bright outside, if you get sunburned later, no one will want you!"

Xiaoxia turned her head, pretending to be proud and complacent, and said: "I don't care, as long as your mother wants me!"

At this time, Yuan Ge, the female officer in charge, came over, and she glanced at Xiaoxia faintly: "What are you doing standing here? Go back."

Immediately, Xiaoxia returned to the hall like a discouraged ball, standing peacefully.

Yuan Ge was about to turn around and go to work, but happened to see Concubine Ning and Shang Kelan walking towards the Xianya Palace side by side, so she hurriedly bowed and said: "Your maidservant sees your lady, Concubine Ning."

The closeness and distance can be seen from Yuan Ge's address.

At this time, Zhiqiu who heard the commotion came out from the hall. After seeing the pale Concubine Ning, a look of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and then she also bowed her knees to salute the two.

After bringing Concubine Ning into the hall, Shang Kelan looked at Yuan Ge and introduced to Concubine Ning: "This is the female officer in charge of my palace, her name is Yuan Ge, if you need anything from now on, just say it, In addition, the Qinyan Hall is still empty, just to the west, should Sister Concubine Ning eat with me first or go to the Qinyan Hall first?"

Qinyan Palace is a middle-level palace in Xianya Palace, where the concubines of the second grade live. In the huge middle palace, there are only a dozen or so concubines, headed by Concubine Chen of Xianya Palace.

Therefore, this Xianya palace is usually not crowded with people, it is clean.

After hearing this, Concubine Ning smiled at Shang Kelan in a neutral manner, and said, "Since my sister is going to have lunch, then I won't bother you, go to Qinyan Hall to rest, and wait until I feel better I'll see you again."

What she said was as if she was the owner of the Xianya Palace.

Zhi Zi was listening and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Shang Kelan smiled slightly: "Then sister, go slowly."

In this way, Concubine Ning lived in Qinyan Palace.

After Concubine Ning left, Shang Kelan smiled and glanced at Zhizi, who despised Concubine Ning, and said, "Okay, let's go to the house and eat. You've been tossing around for a long time, aren't you hungry?"

Saying that, Shang Kelan returned to the side hall and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

Xiaoxia served her vegetables attentively, pointed to a purple-red radish exuding the aroma of wine, and said, "Your Majesty, come quickly and taste the pickles that the servants pickled a few days ago, the white radish stuffed with wine, sweet and sour, very delicious Appetizing!"

Shang Kelan picked up a slice and put it on his lips to taste it, his eyes were slightly bright, and he said in surprise: "Well, it's really good, this dish is very good, and it's really appetizing in summer!"

Xiaoxia got the compliment, and couldn't help blushing slightly, and smiled slightly.

At this time, Zhiqiu walked in with a serious expression, and Yuan Ge followed behind her.

Seeing their appearance, Shang Kelan ate the food on the table in a leisurely manner, and asked aloud, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, just now this servant smelled a strong smell of blood from Concubine Ning, and looking at her face and walking, I felt that Concubine Ning seemed to have had a miscarriage... ..."

Concubine Ning's miscarriage was only known to the concubines an hour ago. Zhiqiu usually stays in Xianya Palace and Tai Hospital, so it's normal not to hear the rumors about Concubine Ning.

Speaking of this, Zhi Zi said indignantly: "Isn't it? Because of this, Concubine Ning... Concubine Ning offered to live in our Xianya Palace. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager were also present at that time. How can the empress refuse?"

When Zhiqiu, Wandong and Wenchun heard this, their eyes showed surprise. They didn't expect Concubine Ning to actually have a miscarriage!
At this time, Shang Kelan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now, Wen Chun, let me ask you, did you release that maid you caught two days ago?"

Wen Chun stood up and said respectfully: "My Majesty, the servant girl's name is Bai Zhi, she is the servant girl next to Rou Jieyu, the servant did not make things difficult for her according to the Majesty's order, but let her go back after questioning her. "

Hearing this, Shang Kelan nodded, her eyes flickered slightly, and said: "The fact that Baizhi sneaked into the Xianya Palace means that there are traitors let in by others in our palace, or some servants in the palace think that this palace is easy to fool. That's why they did such things as deceiving the superior and embezzling other people's money."

At this time, Yuan Ge said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, this servant has already found out the person who let the palace maid in, it is Li Nanny who is the gatekeeper."

But Shang Kelan shook his head, and said: "I don't care about these people. After the matter of Concubine Ning is over, I will take down these villains who were secretly framed in one fell swoop."

She spoke lightly, and there was no anger on her face, but what she said made people shudder.

Although she was smiling, everyone couldn't see a trace of a smile in her eyes.

After lunch, unitary hour.

In Concubine Chen's bedroom, Shang Kelan changed into a light white gauze dress, untied her bun, and lay on the beauty's couch to read the script.

Zhi Zi came in with a bowl of sour plum soup, feeling depressed because of Concubine Ning's incident.

Slightly sliding the book down to cover the lower half of her face, Shang Kelan only showed her eyes, looked at her with a smile and said, "What's the matter, Zhizi? You don't seem very happy."

Zhizi brought the sour plum soup in front of her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't understand you anymore. You see, when you were not in the palace, you were such a good daughter. Now that you are in the palace, you sometimes laugh However, the servant feels that it is better not to laugh."

Seeing what Zhizi said, Shang Kelan put away the smile on her face, sat upright and took a sip of sour plum juice, and said, "Then, I will be more serious in front of you from now on."

Shang Kelan made jokes, which only made people think she was funny and sly.

Zhi Zi couldn't help curling her lips into a smile, and then said, "Forget it, you better stop laughing."

As she said that, she looked at Shang Kelan suspiciously and said, "Speaking of which, my lord, why did Bai Zhi, Rou Jieyu's court lady, go and bury a witch doll under the ginkgo tree in our yard?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Kelan made a silent gesture to her: "Shh, don't say anything about this for now, and don't let anyone know about it!"

During the heavy rain two days ago, Shang Kelan huddled in the Xianya Palace and did not go out. Wen Chun was going out to inquire about folk news for Shang Kelan, but unexpectedly saw that in the empty courtyard, a familiar maidservant bribed her. The mammy at the door slipped in.

Afterwards, Wen Chun immediately reported the matter to Shang Kelan. In order not to startle the snake, Shang Kelan asked Wen Chun to arrest the maidservant and interrogate her after the maid had finished burying her things.

The servant girl lied that Yu Da went to the wrong palace and did not explain what she was doing here, so Shang Kelan asked Wen Chun to pretend not to be suspicious and let the servant girl go.

Afterwards, Shang Kelan took Wen Chun to the ginkgo tree in the yard, and dug out the things buried by the maid, only to find that the jade pendant she had lost not long ago was put together with a strangely shaped witch doll.

And on the witchcraft doll, Concubine Ning's birth date was impressively written!
