"Empress, do you really believe her?" Lingxi asked after Wanxin left. Before she left, she heard the name of Zhang Shufei and had already expected what Wanxin was going to do.

"I am the first person." The Empress raised her chin, and the golden sunlight shone on her well-maintained skin. Her skin was not like a person who had given birth to two princes.

Only the Queen herself knows that even if her appearance can be maintained, her mood will never be able to go back. She missed her self who could do everything for her goals, and now she was restricted... She didn't know when she became what she was now.

"Empress..." Lingxi found that the Empress was really in love with Wanxin. She had never seen this master who had been with her for more than ten years. The Empress even felt a sense of indescribable pity and love for Wanxin.

"Don't you think she looks like the same as before?"

"The Queen Mother is precious. How can she be compared to her little county monarch?" Ling Xi was slightly stunned and replied.

"I think she is comparable to me, and even she is better than me." The Empress silently fiddled with Buddhist beads in her hand, and the collision of Buddhist beads made a crisp sound.

"Why can't I see it? The empress's body of a thousand golds is already the mother of the Northern Liang Dynasty. How could she be stronger than the empress?" Lingxi said dissatisfiedly. How could anyone be stronger than the empress? Such a woman, let alone seeing her, she had never even heard of her.

"Because her mind is wider, unlike this palace, who is bound by the high red wall. Although she seems to have gained a lot, she actually loses more. And she is the one who knows what she wants..." The Queen sighed and said in an envious tone.

Lingxi slapped his mouth and didn't speak. The Empress was already the lord of the six palaces, waiting for the prince to become the emperor in the future. That Empress is the supreme Empress Dowager. How dare you ask which woman in this world is more noble than Empress Dowager?

The queen glanced at Lingxi and saw through her thoughts, "I know you don't understand. If you don't understand at this moment, you will understand in the future."

Lingxi nodded disapprovingly, still not believing what the queen said. She wanted to see what a noble status a county monarch could have in the future.

Wan Xin came out of the queen's bedroom and walked quickly without saying a word. Jinli caught up with Wan Xin's footsteps and asked curiously, "Miss, what did you tell the Empress just now? It's so mysterious. You must know that Sister Lingxi is the Empress's confidant. I have never seen the Empress ask her to avoid it."

Wan Xin paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Jinli. Jinli was startled by Wan Xin who suddenly stopped and shrank his neck, "Miss, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Wan Xin continued to move forward quickly without saying a word. When Jinli saw Wan Xin ignore her, she felt that she had said something wrong again. It was not until a long time later that Wan Xin said quietly, "Do you know the difference between you and Lingxi?"

Jinli shook her head, but Wanxin did not look back, as if she had seen Jinli's actions, and continued, "I think you don't know. I will tell you today. The question you asked me just now. Lingxi already has the answer, but you ask me for the answer. Although I am not your master, for the sake of you following me for so many days, I might as well tell you that whether it is a slave or a maid, they are all for the master to help solve the problem, rather than asking questions."

After listening to Wan Xin's words, Jinli stood there blankly. After a while, she understood what Wan Xin said, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She knew that she would never become Wan Xin's own person.

Wan Xin returned to his house, Mingyue immediately met him when she saw him, "Miss, why did you come back alone? Where is Jinli?"

"She may have regretted being sent to me, and maybe she has returned to the queen." Wan Xin said dismissively. She could tolerate being alone in Cao's camp and being alone in Han, or being alone in stupidity. But she could never tolerate someone who had ulterior motives and stupidity. Such a maid would not only not help her with trouble, but would also add to her sorrow.

Mingyue knew when she had just happened and exclaimed, "Miss, aren't you afraid that the Queen will blame her?"

"The Queen now has no time to take care of this matter. If Jinli really goes to complain to the Queen, then I think it will be no far from the day when she leaves the Queen." Wan Xin returned to the desk and started writing with paper and pen. She has now forced herself into a dead end. At present, she doesn't care about tearing her face with anyone. Although Jinli has helped her a lot before, she has not helped her at all, but now she will not only not help her, but will become her burden. She does not need such a person around her.

"Miss, who are you going to write to? But Mr. Liu?" Mingyue saw Wan Xin take the pen and immediately started grinding for her. While grinding, she was still stretching her head to see if Jinli was back.

"Not bad, but I don't want to send this letter out, but I'll give it to him when he enters the palace." Wan Xin said to Mingyue without raising her head, "Don't read it, she will come back."

As expected, as soon as Wan Xin finished speaking, Jinli walked in. Her eyes were red, and she obviously looked like she had just cried.

"Jinli, you're back." Mingyue asked with concern, "Where have you been? You can't let the lady come back alone in the future."

Jinli didn't say anything, walked straight to Wanxin, and knelt down straight, "Miss, Jinli figured it out."

Wan Xin didn't even lift her eyelids up, and continued to lift her pen and write.

Seeing Wan Xin ignored her, Jinli swallowed a saliva and continued, "Miss, Jinli will only have you the only master from now on."

When Wan Xin heard this, he slowly raised his head, looked at Jinli, and smiled, "Your master is the Queen, not me."

Jinli shook her head, "I have figured it out. I must be loyal to a master. The Empress has already sent me to the lady, so I am already the lady's person."

"But I don't need someone here to report my whereabouts at all times."

Jinli's face turned red suddenly. It turned out that Wan Xin had seen what he did for a long time, but it just didn't expose it. "Jinli promised not to disclose any Miss's affairs to others from now on."

Wan Xin stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at Jinli, and warned seriously, "I only believe in you this time. If you make me realize that you have any actions that are sorry to me, don't blame me for turning against me. I believe that I still have the ability to do it except for a palace maid."

Jinli actually felt a chill on the back of her neck. The feeling of oppression that even the queen had never given her was so angry that even the queen had never given her. Why did Wan Xin just say a few words that made her so uncomfortable? "I know."

Wan Xin nodded and ignored Jinli. Mingyue waved her hand to Jinli, and Jinli dared to get up and retreat.

"Miss, why are you so strict with her?" Mingyue asked in confusion, "If you really think she is in trouble, you will give it to the queen."

"It will be useful to keep her, not to mention that she did give me a lot of help at the beginning."

"Miss, you are so kind, always kind to others."

Kindness? I used to be kind, but now I work step by step, plot every step, and even have no humanity. The word kindness has long since disappeared from myself.

Wan Xin slowly finished writing the last word, carefully folded the letter, placed it in his own items, and kept it properly.

"Miss, didn't you write this letter to Mr. Liu? Why did you have to put it away by yourself?"

"It's for Mr. Liu, but not now." After Wan Xin put the letter, he found a sachet he had embroidered, "Mingyue followed me to see Concubine Zhang."

Concubine Zhang Shu? Mingyue has never seen Concubine Shu since she entered the palace. This empress is easy to understand and rarely shows up. Why is the lady going to find her today? Although Mingyue has questions, she didn't say anything and just followed Wanxin silently.

Concubine Zhang lives on the east side of the palace. The palace she lives in is called Roufu Palace. It is made of green trees and birds singing and fragrance. Concubine Zhang does not chant Buddha's name every day. Instead, she likes to raise birds. The Xuanfeng she raises is very human and can even imitate human words. Wanxin is only heard of this bird and has never seen it. It was not until Wanxin later saw Xuanfeng that she really believed that there were such human birds in the world.

Wanxin came to the door of Roufu Palace and waited for the maid to report. Wanxin stood in the yard and observed the surroundings. As expected, other empresses were basically planting flowers and plants in the yard, while Zhang Shufei planted herbs. Most of these herbs were warm and tonic products that could be eaten directly. The faint fragrance of them made Roufu Palace seem to be in a garden of herbs.

"Monday King Xiliang, please come in." The maid who came to inform was the personal maid of Concubine Shu, named Codonopsis. It can be seen that Concubine Zhang's love for herbs. It is said that the names of all the eunuchs and palace maids in her palace are all kinds of herbs, and they are also named according to each person's character. The maid named Concubine Codonopsis must be the one who understands Concubine Zhang's temper and makes suggestions for Concubine Shu.

Wan Xin smiled and thanked, "I'm working hard."

As Codonopsis entered the palace of Concubine Shu, the whole house was filled with the fragrance of mugwort. Concubine Shu was already standing in the house waiting for her arrival.

"See Concubine Shu." Wan Xin gave a regular greeting. This was her first formal visit to Concubine Shu. She had met several times before at banquets, and she often met from afar. She had never had such close contact as she had today.

"Hurry and don't give me a gift. I am very worried when I heard that the Xiliang County Lord was seriously injured. Now the County Lord is in a better health?" Today, the Queen of Concubine Shu was wearing a simple plain yellow brocade dress. The thick and straight grass stems were embroidered with gold and silver threads on the hem of the skirt. From the hem of the skirt, the pink silk threads embroidered blooming poppy flowers. From the hem of the skirt to the waist, a black belt tightened the thin waist, showing her charming figure, and it was also for people.

A feeling of a fairy who is not stained with a trace of the worldly world. She has a long hair tied with a colorful cloud bun with a hairpin. A jade hairpin with a jade texture was inserted on the bun, and it was uniquely carved into a ginseng shape. It really makes people think she has a ginseng on her head. Wan Xin couldn't help but be attracted by Zhang Shufei's unworldly temperament. If it weren't for the certain evidence, it would be difficult for her to associate the woman in front of her with the murderer.

"Thank you for your care, the young lady has become much better. She has been disturbed in the palace for several days and has not visited the queen yet. She specially sent the sachet sewn by Wanxin, and I hope that the sachets Shuxian will not be disgusted." After that, Wanxin presented the sachets embroidered by himself with both hands.

Concubine Zhang hurriedly took it over, and Wan Xin carefully observed Concubine Shu's every move, "Empress, is it appropriate for you to smell this fragrance? If the Empress is not satisfied, the girl will change the other flavors for the Empress. The girl will not be sure of the taste that the Empress prefers for the first time when she visits the Empress."

Wan Xin stared at Concubine Zhang Shuli firmly and took the sachet and put it under her nose. She sniffed it gently. Sure enough, her eyes flashed with surprise, but this surprised look was instantly covered by a smile.

Concubine Zhang smiled softly and said, "I like it very much." After that, she handed the sachet to Codonopsis.

"Does the Empress like the pattern embroidered on the sachet?" Wan Xin pointed to the sachet in the hand of Codonopsis and asked softly, "The girl from the folk once opened a showhouse. Knowing that the Empress likes herbs, she casually found a medicine to embroider it on it."

Codonopsis held the sachet and let Concubine Zhang see the suddenness above. When Concubine Zhang saw the patterns on both sides of the sachet, her face changed drastically, but she immediately returned to her calm expression and said to Wan Xin apologetically, "I like it very much. I still have some things to do now, so I can't accompany the county lord."

Wan Xin stood up tactfully and blessed her body, "Since Concubine Shu still has important things, Wan Xin is not relying on disturbing the Empress."

Until Wan Xin walked out for a long time, Concubine Zhang still stood in the house without moving. Codonopsis looked at Concubine Shu strangely, "Empress, why are you so bad? Do you want to call the imperial physician to take a look?"

Concubine Zhang grabbed the sachet in Codonopsis hand, rubbed it hard in her hand for several times, threw it hard on the ground, and stomped it on the soles of her shoes for a few strokes. Her indifferent expression just now no longer existed, but instead she had a vicious look on her face.

"Empress?" Dangshen asked a question. She didn't know what was going on, but she just gave her a sachet. Why did the Empress get so angry?

"You go and notify the second prince to let him enter the palace!" Concubine Zhang anxiously ordered Dangshen.

At this time, Wan Xin was not feeling very relaxed. She knew that she had led the snake out of the hole just now. Now, as long as she waited for the snake's head to explore, she would pinch it seven inches and end up killing the snake.

"Miss, I think there is nothing unusual about Concubine Zhang?" Mingyue asked anxiously. The lady has taken the initiative to provoke Concubine Zhang, which means that she offended the second prince. The enemy is in the bright and the lady is in the dark. She has to worry about the safety of the lady. "If there is no abnormality, is it our prediction wrong?"

Wan Xin sneered, "Not only did there be no error in the prediction, it was exactly the same as I thought, she was the one who poisoned that day."

"What? Miss, you were not very sure before? Then you told the Queen..." Mingyue was surprised at the daring and adventure of the lady.
