Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 111 The Doll Trouble
No one expected that Xue Yan was so efficient.

When everyone came back from taking a shower, they found that the tent had been completely renovated.

Several servants cleaned the place thoroughly and laid out the new bed, new bedding, new clothes and shoes.

They even thoughtfully arranged an incense burner.

As the sandalwood in the furnace burned, a refreshing fragrance immediately spread throughout the tent.

"This Xue Yan's identity is truly extraordinary!"

Everyone was secretly amazed.

It is not an easy task to arrange for slaves to carry so many things into the Forbidden Army camp.

Wang Quan came to his new bed, touched the bedding, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"It's not a cotton quilt, it's a silk quilt!"

"Brother Xue, I'm so sorry. Thank you so much!"

The warmth-retaining effect of a silk quilt is better than that of a cotton quilt, so the price is naturally much more expensive.

How could an ordinary soldier afford a silk quilt?

Nowadays, if you can wrap yourself in a silk quilt in the winter, you won’t have to suffer from the cold anymore.

The rest of the soldiers also looked at their new bedding and new clothes, their faces beaming with joy, and they kept thanking Xue Yan.

Liang Jin didn't care about these.

He is very rich.

I didn't do it for pleasure before just to avoid attracting attention.

Now that he had received benefits from Xue Yan, he naturally expressed his gratitude without losing his manners.

Xue Yan, however, ignored everyone's thanks.

It was as if he bought bedding and clothes for everyone just to prevent himself from smelling the stench of sweat.

Although he was arrogant, no one looked down on him, let alone disturbed him.

Only Liang Jin looked at him a few more times:

"This Xue Yan is quite good at martial arts."

Without using [Thousand Mile Tracking], Liang Jin could see that Xue Yan's strength was at least at the level of a seventh-grade warrior.

This level is very rare at his age.

With a good family background and high martial arts skills, he was destined to be promoted above Wu Huan soon.

It was getting dark quickly.

Everyone also began to rest.

But that night, they did not sleep well.

Xue Yan was not used to the soldiers snoring while sleeping, so he scolded a few of them who snored loudly.

But it didn't work.

Even after the soldiers fell asleep, they continued to snore.

Seeing that it was of no use, Xue Yan had no choice but to leave the tent and go to the training ground to practice martial arts in silence.

Early the next morning.

The imperial guards quickly gathered and marched towards the palace to change shifts.

To everyone, this was not much different from the life of the imperial guards in the past.

The biggest difference is that the team leader changed from Wu Huan to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan didn't have much of his own opinion, so he could only arrange everyone according to Wu Huan's previous arrangements.

It's just the same old thing. Although there's nothing new or improved about it, at least there won't be any mistakes.

As for Xue Yan, Wang Quan naturally took special care of him and took him with him to patrol the area under his jurisdiction.

Liang Jin also returned to his post.

Today, all the busy eunuchs and palace maids were nowhere to be seen.

Obviously, the work to prepare for the Spring Festival is almost complete, and all we have to do next is wait step by step for the Spring Festival to arrive.

This also gave Liang Jin a lot of peace of mind.

I still haven’t seen Zhao Bao today.

But Su Lian, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared.

As soon as she saw Liang Jin, Su Lian cried out "Wow!"

"Brother Jin, the days of serving the Imperial Concubine are not happy at all."

"Those people are so bad. I have been beaten and scolded many times in the past few days."

"They all think I'm stupid and useless."

"I miss the days at the laundry department. At least my aunt has started to treat me better. She's not as mean as the imperial concubine..."

Su Lian squatted on the ground, crying non-stop, even her eyes were red and swollen.

Liang Jin couldn't help but be stunned.

When did Su Lian go to serve the imperial concubine?

He asked hurriedly:

"Xiao Lian, tell me what is going on?"

"Haven't you been in the laundry department the whole time? When did you go to the harem?"

Su Lian cried and explained the reason.

original.

The result of Hu Shangyi's recommendation came out.

She recommended Su Lian to serve Concubine Zhang in Changchun Palace.

For other palace maids, this would naturally be a very rare opportunity.

Concubine Zhang was once favored by the emperor and still maintains her status as a concubine. She is quite influential in the harem.

From being a palace maid in the laundry department to serving the imperial concubine, it was like a step to heaven.

Hu Shangyi's idea was to repay Su Lian for helping her family.

Su Lian remembered the instructions of Liang Jin and Zhao Bao and wanted to refuse.

But matters in the palace cannot be rejected just like that.

Su Lian didn't even have the chance to consult Liang Jin before she was taken directly to Changchun Palace to serve Concubine Zhang. The maids and eunuchs who could serve the concubine in the harem were all very skilled.

When an outlier like Su Lian went there, she naturally seemed out of place.

Even Concubine Zhang disliked Su Lian very much, which led to Su Lian becoming the target of bullying by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

Hu Shangyi probably didn't expect that her good intentions would eventually lead to bad consequences.

This is also the reason why Hu Shangyi lacks understanding of Su Lian, which leads to such consequences.

After hearing this, Liang Jin frowned.

Unexpectedly, what he worried about finally happened.

Outsiders only see the three thousand beauties in the harem.

But they don't know that the harem is a truly dangerous place of right and wrong.

Seeing Su Lian crying so sadly, Liang Jin's eyes also turned cold:
"These bastards!"

Su Lian is not the kind of person who cries easily.

She has been working in the palace since she was young and has a strong character.

Even though I suffered in the laundry department before, I never cried.

Now she could cry so sadly, it was obvious that her experience was more serious than Liang Jin had imagined.

He regarded Su Lian as his own sister and would not allow others to bully her like this.

Even the imperial concubine can’t do that!

"and many more!"

"Eternal Spring Palace, Concubine Zhang?"

Liang Jin suddenly thought of something.

Isn’t Concubine Zhang, whom Su Lian serves, the daughter of Earl of Ryan?
The Concubine Han that Zhao Bao served was the daughter of Han Guozhang.

The two sides have always been at odds, and their two daughters are also fighting openly and secretly in the harem.

Standing behind Senluo Sect is Han Guozhang, and behind Guiyi Sect is Ruianbo.

These two martial arts sects were also fighting endlessly in Qingzhou.

the most important is……

After Liang Jin completed his guard duty yesterday, the information he obtained was also related to Concubine Zhang.

He hurriedly checked the panel, which still displayed yesterday's intelligence:
[Intelligence 1: Concubine Li secretly buried the Paulownia wood doll in the flowerbed in the southeast corner of Changchun Palace a quarter of an hour ago.]

Liang Jin was thoughtful when he saw this.

Originally, he did not take this information seriously, thinking it had nothing to do with him.

But now it seems that it may be able to help Su Lian.

The use of Paulownia wood dolls is often related to a kind of folk witchcraft that harms people.

Specifically, a doll is made from paulownia wood in the image of the enemy, and then iron needles are inserted into the paulownia doll. It is then buried in the ground and cursed with evil words. It is said that this will have the effect of harming the enemy.

Concubine Li secretly buried the paulownia doll in Changchun Palace, which may be due to bad intentions.

Liang Jin was not clear about the details of the specific reasons for the palace fight.

But he knew that if this paulownia doll was discovered by outsiders, Concubine Zhang might suffer a sudden disaster.

After all, witchcraft is very taboo in the palace.

"Take this opportunity to finish that Imperial Concubine Zhang?"

Liang Jin had this idea in his mind.

If we contact Zhao Bao for cooperation and take advantage of the conflict between Concubine Han and Concubine Zhang, we can let this paulownia wood doll play a role in dealing with Concubine Zhang.

But he quickly gave up the idea.

Now Su Lian has become Concubine Zhang's person.

As long as she serves Concubine Zhang, she will be bound to Concubine Zhang.

If Concubine Zhang died, Su Lian would also be implicated.

"Forget it, let Concubine Zhang escape this disaster first."

"When there's a chance later, I'll slowly take care of her."

Liang Jin made up his mind.

Liang Jin immediately comforted Su Lian.

Then Liang Jin asked:

"Xiao Lian, from yesterday to today, has anyone outside searched Changchun Palace?"

Su Lian shook her head, indicating that nothing like this happened.

When Liang Jin heard this, he knew that Concubine Li, who had buried the paulownia wood head, had not taken action yet.

Then it’s still not too late for all this.

Liang Jin then glanced around and whispered to Su Lian:
"Xiao Lian, I have a way to make Concubine Zhang look at you differently."

"But you have to learn how to act!"

"Now that you have entered the harem to serve the Imperial Concubine, you are surrounded by dangers everywhere. It is completely incomparable to your previous days in the laundry department."

"You have to mature quickly, and you have to learn how to act."

"Especially, this matter must not be made known to others, otherwise you and I will be in great trouble."

Seeing that Liang Jin was speaking seriously, Su Lian quickly wiped her tears and nodded.

She didn't quite understand what Liang Jin was saying, but she knew it was right to listen to Liang Jin.

Immediately.

Liang Jin whispered in Su Lian's ear for a while.

He even asked Su Lian to rehearse in front of him several times until Liang Jin was satisfied.

Finally, Liang Jin explained some more details and only let Su Lian go after making sure she remembered them.

Looking at Su Lian's departing back, Liang Jin was full of worry.

I hope it's not too late.

I also hope that Su Lian can successfully get out of the predicament.
