Chapter 40

Mo Qingli's eyes darkened. The queen wanted to turn her into a pawn like Lu Yuxin. The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she said, "The small courtyard is also clean, and the servants are used to living in the small courtyard."

The queen's face remained unchanged, she lowered her eyebrows, unable to see what was going on in her heart, Mo Qingli was silent for a moment, and said: "If the queen has nothing else to do, the maidservant will leave first."

Empress Shangguan didn't speak for a while. After a long time, she waved her hand and said, "You go back first."

Mo Qingli got up to leave, the queen's expression was deep, and there was a faint glint in her eyes.

Fenghua Palace.

Mo Zhiyan lazily picked up a blooming flower, sniffed it lightly, and asked his hands, "What happened outside? The emperor is back from hunting?"

A court lady stood respectfully with her hands down, and said softly: "The emperor hasn't come back yet, but Miss Lu and Miss Mo went back to the palace first. I heard that Miss Lu was attacked by a hornet, and Miss Mo sent Miss Lu back first." Palace."

Mo Zhiyan ridiculed her face, she sneered, "This Mo Li is really restless, even Bengong suffered a secret loss because of her."

After saying that, she turned her face away, looked at Fu Liu at the side, and said, "I remember that you said that there was a maid who came in with you?"

Fu Liu was caught off guard by being questioned, she quickly replied: "Yes, empress, there is also a court lady named Ling Qiu, who has a more irritable personality, and she has a bit of conflict with Na Moli."

There was a bit of a smile on Mo Zhiyan's expression, her eyes gradually fell on the delicate flower in her hand, the corner of her lips smiled a bit cruelly, and said: "Go and call Ling Qiu here, I have a few words to ask her."

After saying that, she gently closed her palms, the delicate flower gradually became dilapidated, and her smile gradually became cruel.

Mo Qingli has run out of medicines since the incident in the paddock, and she needs some new medicinal materials to make medicine.

Avoiding the eyes and ears sent by the queen, Mo Qingli came to the imperial garden alone.

The corner of the imperial garden was secluded, and few people came here on weekdays. Mo Qingli had just picked two herbs when there was a bitter mocking sound from behind.

"Hey, isn't this the young master Mo Li?" Ling Qiu folded his arms, stood two steps away from Mo Qingli, with a mocking face, and said, "Why are you in the mood to come to Yuhuayuan today?"

Mo Qingli frowned, turned her head to look at Ling Qiu, the corners of her lips curled up, and she didn't intend to pay attention to her.She turned around and walked in another direction. Ling Qiu only felt that Mo Qingli's ignorance seemed extraordinarily mocking. She quickly stopped Mo Qingli's way and said mockingly: "That's right, you are also a young master now, and you treat others differently." Naturally it's different."

Mo Qingli's dark eyes fixed on Ling Qiu's, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes.

Ling Qiu was inexplicably terrified, but she still stood stubbornly in front of Mo Qingli, and said, "Mo Li! Do you really think you are someone now? Did you make up the matter of Yuxin? She used to be so Trust you, do you still have a conscience!"

A sneer overflowed from Mo Qingli's expression, she looked at Ling Qiu who seemed to be standing up for Lu Yuxin, a sharp dark light flashed in her eyes, she took Ling Qiu's finger and pointed at her, sneered, and said: "You Do you really think that you are some kind of messenger of justice? You have never known about Lu Yuxin, so why do you speculate on your own?"

Ling Qiu bit her lip and didn't speak, Mo Qingli was a little tireless towards Ling Qiu, Ling Qiu had been targeting her from the very beginning, her eyes were cold, and she said: "You also said just now, what am I? Identity? What is your identity? Now that you know the difference in identity, you dare to question me here?"

Ling Qiu's face was pale, and he stared at Mo Qingli indignantly, his chest heaved, obviously extremely angry.

Mo Qingli had a cold face, if she didn't teach Ling Qiu a lesson, Ling Qiu wouldn't know the pros and cons.

"You!" Ling Qiu said a word, but couldn't think of a reason to argue, she and Mo Qingli did have a status gap, and she was not qualified to question Mo Qingli.

"That's a big tone." A majestic and old female voice came from nowhere, Mo Qingli followed the voice and looked over, only to see a woman in a dark Chinese dress walking over.The woman seemed to be about the same age as the Queen Mother, but her temperament was somewhat graceful and luxurious.

Ling Qiu immediately bowed his knees and said, "I've seen Princess Wei."

Mo Qingli realized later that she remembered that she had seen this person at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, but at that time he was not conspicuous, so she also bowed her body and said: "I have seen Wei Taifei."

It is said that Concubine Wei and the Empress Dowager are on good terms, but she was born as a court lady. Since the death of the former emperor, she has been shutting herself in the palace, singing Buddhist scriptures all day long, and few people have seen her.

Concubine Wei glanced at the two of them, her expression was a little worried, she was born as a court lady, and her appearance was not very good, seeing this scene somehow reminded her of her background that was ridiculed in the past, she couldn't help but treat Ling Qiu more It's a pity.

"Get up." Concubine Wei waved to Ling Qiu in a calm voice, and said, "Come on, what's your name?"

Ling Qiu obediently walked over, and said: "The servant's surname is Ling, and the single name is Qiu."

Concubine Wei's eyes slowly turned to Mo Qingli again, looked her up and down, and asked, "You are a bit unfamiliar, when did you enter the palace?"

Ling Qiu remained obediently silent, Mo Qingli's eyes were condensed, Concubine Wei's attitude was not good, Mo Qingli didn't know where she had offended Concubine Wei, and when she touched Ling Qiu's face, she was faintly pleased Then he realized that he had been calculated.

"Back to the concubine, the slaves will not be in the palace for long." Mo Qingli replied with lowered eyes, suppressing the emotions in them.

Concubine Wei suddenly raised her voice, and said: "You have not been in the palace for a long time, so you are so arrogant, if it takes a long time in the future, what will happen?"

Mo Qingli's eyes were cold, she didn't beg for mercy, she stood there quietly with a certain aura.

Concubine Wei was even more worried, she waved her hands with a cold face, and said: "Go to the side hall to the south and copy the Buddhist scriptures and repent, you have to sharpen your temper, and come out when you have made up your mind .”

Concubine Wei also didn't want to hear Mo Qingli's explanation, Mo Qingli looked even colder, she sneered, and said, "Slaves should do as Concubine Wei said, I can only blame the humbleness of slaves, there is no big tree behind them Enjoy the cool."

Concubine Wei's expression became even more annoyed. In the past, she had to survive in the cracks to survive until now. She waved her hand and said, "Come here, take her down for me."

As soon as the words finished, a nanny rushed over beside her, and Mo Qingli sneered, "Don't bother the nanny, the servant will leave naturally."

After saying that, she walked towards the south without hesitation, Ling Qiu looked at her back, with a smile on her lips, glanced at Concubine Wei, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager." But in his heart he secretly hated Wei The concubine's punishment for Mo Qingli was too clear.

Concubine Wei knew what Ling Qiu was thinking when she saw Ling Qiu's eyes, and she didn't tell Ling Qiu to get up, she said with a bit of regret: "You are a good child, but you have to know that you have to be forgiving. Forgive me."

Ling Qiu lowered his head, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Yes."

Concubine Wei turned around, paused, and said, "From now on, you will follow me."

Ling Qiu's eyes were full of surprises, and she hurriedly followed. She glanced at the direction Mo Qingli was walking, sneered, and slowly left while supporting Concubine Wei.

Buddhist hall.

When Mo Qingli arrived, the Buddhist hall was deserted. Except for the golden statue of Buddha, which was still slightly clean, the rest of the place was in a mess. There were brushes and other things prepared by the table. Mo Qingli walked over slowly, pointing his finger I touched it lightly on the table, and it was full of dust.

No one came to this Buddhist hall for a long time, and she began to sweep the dust carefully. When it was finished, it was already dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the Buddha statue, which made it feel a little more sacred.

Mo Qingli placed the pen and paper and began to grind them lightly.

The fragrance of ink slowly spread in the room, when suddenly a noise broke the silence, Mo Qingli raised her head, and saw a white figure through the half-closed door, she was startled, it was almost dark, Luo Zi Why is Shang still in the palace?
She put down the ink ingot lightly, Luo Zishang didn't notice that there was another person in the Buddhist hall for the time being, he walked straight into a slightly simple room next to him, Mo Qingli was eager to follow up to find out, But temporarily held back.

Luo Zishang entered the house and never came out again, until the night was getting dark and the light of the candles in the house gradually disappeared, Mo Qingli was sure that Luo Zishang lived here!
Although the Buddhist hall is located in a relatively remote place, it is also within the scope of the harem, there can be no other men in the harem, and Luo Zishang lives here in a stately manner, which is against etiquette!
Mo Qingli didn't want Luo Zishang to find out that there were still people in the Buddhist hall, and she didn't light the candles. She hid in the darkness, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and finally made up her mind to go to Luo Zishang's room to explore!
When she came out, she was wearing light clothes, which happened to be dark in color, and she took out a black cloth to cover her face, then quietly opened the door of the Buddhist hall, and tiptoed out.

There are few people here, and the lights in the palace are no longer bright. Mo Qingli hides in the night, and quickly approaches Luozishang's courtyard.

She looked through the gap by the window, Luo Zishang was in the darkness, with smooth hair, pouring himself a drink.Mo Qingli's eyes were low, and she quickly surveyed the environment in the room. There was only a simple table, chair and bed board in the room.

Luo Zishang seemed to be quite contented, he did not fall asleep for a long time, Mo Qingli looked at him coldly, suddenly, his sharp eyes shot towards the window, Mo Qingli took a deep breath, his eyes almost wanted to meet Luo Zishang looked at each other, but Luo Zishang turned his face back quietly again, the smile on his lips did not diminish.

Mo Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Luo Zishang say again: "You are a guest when you come, since Xiongtai is here, why don't you have a drink with Luo?"
