"Okay, okay, stop arguing and let me be quiet for a while." Ye Wange said to stop the quarrel between the two slaves.

The two slaves immediately shut up after hearing this. Xiaozi took the lotus seeds she had just picked and said to cook porridge. Xiaodie looked at her back and said, "She doesn't even see you, Master, so why do you still reward her?"

She, Master, you are too kind-hearted."

Ye Wange got off the bed, glanced at Xiao Zi's leaving figure, and said, "I am not the master in her eyes. I will ask her to open her eyes and see if I, the master, can be bullied by a maid like her."

His face was cold and his eyes were as sinister as poppies.

"Empress." Xiaodie was confused after hearing this.

Looking at Xiaodie who looked confused, she asked Xiaodie to wash her up. The confrontation with Nangong Ao just now left her with messy clothes and unkempt appearance.

Xiaodie helped her put her hair into a bun, and she changed into a short light green skirt and whispered a few words to Xiaodie, who nodded and went out.

Ye Wange walked out of the house and glanced at the side room where Xiao Zi and Xiao Die lived. She slowly walked to the door of Xiao Zi's house and stopped. She looked around and found no one. She opened the door and quickly stepped in.

.

After closing the door, she looked around the room, then walked to the bed and lifted the quilt on the bed. There was nothing on the bed except a piece of rice paper that had been tossed. Ye Wange picked up the paper and opened it. On it was a portrait of a man.

Judging from the outline alone, the man in the painting was very handsome. Her heart tightened when she looked at the jade necklace hanging around her waist. She seemed to have seen this jade necklace before, but she couldn't remember it for the moment. She folded the portrait and put it away.

Go back to where you started.

Nothing suspicious was found on the mattress. She opened the cabinet again and saw that it was filled with Xiao Zi's clothes. She reached out and rummaged through, but there was nothing suspicious. She thought about whether it was from her previous life.

The memory is wrong, or the tragic experiences in the past life were really a dream.

Just when she was about to close the cabinet door, two pairs of rusty shoes placed under the clothes caught her attention. The uppers of the shoes were bulging, as if there was something holding them inside. She

I reached out and took out a shoe. The shoe was not as light as ordinary shoes.

Ye Wange was shocked when she saw the golden object inside the shoe. There was a gold ingot hidden inside the shoe and it had official seals printed on it. How could a humble slave like Xiao Zi have such a valuable thing?

Officially forged gold ingots are only available to princes and nobles. For a humble slave like her to have such valuable items, this is enough to prove that it was rewarded by a powerful master. She, the real master, only rewarded some scraps of silver and cloth.

I didn't expect that other masters would be so bold in their actions. The first thing they did was gold ingots with official characters. What great achievements did Xiao Zi make that made this master so generous?

She stuffed the official silver back into her shoes, put the shoes in their original position and closed the cabinet door. Ye Wange walked to the door and opened it a crack. She looked through the crack and saw that no one was around before she came out.

She saw the little ruler pruning the roses in the yard, so she slid back into the house against the wall. As soon as she entered the house and lay down on the bed, Xiao Zi came in with lotus seed porridge.

"Your Majesty, this lotus seed porridge has been cooked for you. The temperature is suitable and I will serve it for you." Xiao Zi asked with all kinds of enthusiasm and concern.

Ye Wange waved her hand, "Put it on the table first, and I'll eat it later." As he spoke, he moved his body and stared at Xiao Zi with a pair of black eyes.

Xiao Zi looked at Ye Wange's eyes that seemed to penetrate her. She didn't know whether she was guilty of being a thief or was frightened by her cold eyes. She immediately moved her eyes away and replied, "My queen is sick, so I am still here to serve you."

Your Majesty, please take it!"

Before Ye Wange could reply, Xiaodie walked in. Ye Wange's eyes met with Xiaodie's. Xiaodie shook her head gently, and she immediately understood.

"Xiao Zi, Xiao Zhi just said that the materials for His Highness the Prince's reward have been delivered. You go and pick the one you like to make a reward for clothes." Ye Wange lured Xiao Zi away with small favors and small profits.

As Ye Wange expected, Xiao Zi immediately responded with joy after hearing that she was asked to pick the fabric first, "Yes."

Xiao Zi turned around and went out. She was not worried at all that Ye Wange would not eat the bowl of porridge with added ingredients, because she not only tampered with the porridge bowl, but also tampered with Ye Wange's room.

Xiao Zi left the door, and Ye Wange immediately got off the bed, walked to the door and watched Xiao Zi disappear before closing the door.

"What did you find?" Ye Wange asked Xiaodie.

"I was hiding outside the kitchen just now and saw Xiaozi putting something in the cooked porridge." Xiaodie said in a panic.

"What?" Ye Wange's black eyes were shining brightly.

Xiaodie shook her head, "I don't know, I just saw Xiaozi pouring a few drops of something watery from the gourd around her waist into the porridge bowl."

"The gourd on your waist?" Ye Wange asked in confirmation.

"Yes, she hangs it around her waist every day, a small thing about the size of her thumb." Xiaodie replied, Xiaozi's little gourd has been hanging there for many years, and she has no idea where it came from.

After hearing this, Ye Wange's eyes fell on the steaming bowl of porridge. Xiao Zi, a humble servant, wanted to harm her, so it would make sense that she had all the official silver. The memory of the previous life was correct. Xiao Zi, a humble servant, and Shen Ruhui were

A group of people were ordered by her to murder her.

No, if Shen Ruhui instigated Xiao Zi to murder her as soon as she entered the palace, then how could she survive to ascend to the throne? When she knew the truth in her previous life, she was already in prison, and all the things that had happened to murder her before were

She had no way of knowing.

Staring at the bowl of steaming porridge, she fell into deep thought as to what kind of medicine was in the porridge.

"Xiaodie, pour this porridge into the swill bucket quietly, don't let anyone find it." She warned Xiaodie cautiously.

"Yes." Xiaodie picked up the bowl of porridge and walked out.

She sat at the table and meditated. The reason why she encountered such tragic things in her previous life was because she believed in people too much, believed in the maids and slaves around her, believed in Nangong Ao, and even believed in Shen Ruhui, who was good at talking about honey and sword. In the previous life, they were together.

Darkly, she is bright. In this life, she will go against the odds and prevent the tragic fate from repeating itself.

The first step for her to reverse her fate is to follow Xiao Zi's lead and figure out the true intentions of the mastermind behind it.

Ye Wange raised a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth, "I'll let you run wild for a few days, little maid, and let's see how I deal with you step by step."

Ye Wange used illness as an excuse to stay in her bedroom without leaving the house. If she didn't provoke others, people would come to provoke her.

Shen Ruhui took Cao Yan into the Wanxin Palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she shouted in a broken voice, "Sister Wan, sister Wan, sister Yan is here to see you..."

Shen Ruhui's voice was an octave high but she spread her good name to others. A narrow smile flashed across Ye Wange's lips when she heard this in the room. Shen Ruhui had a sinister mind and was domineering. In front of Cao Yan and her, she looked like a good sister. This was obvious.

It's a deliberate disguise.

When the shouts came from far away, she got up and walked to the door. She walked a few steps with weak and sloping steps and said, "I have met the Crown Princess."

Seeing her pale face and sick look, Cao Yan immediately said, "Sister Wan is not feeling well, so there is no need to salute. Come in and have a rest!"

"Sister, please come first." Ye Wange stood there obediently waiting for Cao Yan to enter.

Seeing that she was sincere and did not refuse, Cao Yan walked through the door. Ye Wange said to Concubine Hui behind Cao Yan, "Concubine Hui, please."

Shen Ruhui immediately laughed and said, "Sister Wan, why are you so polite? Sister Yan and I treat you as sisters. You are so unfamiliar with a princess."

After hearing this, Cao Yan turned around and said, "Yes! Sister Hui and I address each other as sisters, and Sister Wan, you should address each other with respect, because outsiders and slaves will inevitably say that we are ostracizing you."

"Princess, please calm down, I never thought about it that way." Ye Wange explained.

"That's because my sister is angry with me and my sister." Shen Ruhui quickly interjected.

"Really?" Cao Yan's pretty face turned majestic.

Ye Wange glanced at Shen Ruhui. Shen Ruhui looked at her with a smile. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and really wanted to stretch out her sharp claws and tear apart Shen Ruhui's mask. s face.

"No, Sister Yan." Ye Wange immediately denied it and changed his tune.

"Haha... that's right! In this way, our sisters are as friendly as a family. It would make the princes and nobles envious of us! If the people in the East Palace are in harmony, even the emperor and queen will be happy to see it." Shen Ru Hui looked at Ye Wange with evil eyes.

Ye Wange secretly said that she was such a concubine Hui who knew the overall situation and considered the overall situation. Her eyes lightly swept over Shen Ruhui, and the moment she looked at Shen Ruhui, Shen Ruhui immediately looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

That look of false concern really made her sick. Ye Wange moved her eyes away and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the slave who was going to have tea and brought it up with a cup. She immediately got up and took it personally.

Bringing a cup of tea to Cao Yan, she smiled sweetly and said, "Sister, please have some tea."

Cao Yan took it with a smile. No one in this world doesn't like other people's flattery and sincerity. No matter how kind-hearted people are, they still have some vulgar taste in their hearts. Take Cao Yan as an example. She is such a virtuous and virtuous person. She doesn't like Shen in the same way. Ruhui's sweet words were laced with honey, and she liked her respectful and ingratiating manners. Shen Ruhui could pretend to be so, and Ye Wange could pretend to be so.

Then she offered another toast to Shen Ruhui, "Sister Hui, please have some tea."

Shen Ruhui took the tea cup and said with a smile, "My sister has a smart heart and eyes, and she is very pleasing to people. No wonder I heard about these slaves. The maid said that His Highness the Crown Prince heard that my sister was sick, so he personally fed her some soup and medicine, and also gave her a lot of brocades." .”

Cao Yan, who was holding the tea cup and taking a sip of tea, heard this, and the movements of her hands froze. After a while, she put down the tea cup in her hand and sat quietly.
