Xiao Xixi looked at the bowl of the sea, which was bigger than her head, and showed a look of lovelessness.

Under Baoqin's urging, Xiao Xixi pinched her nose, endured the feeling of vomiting, and drank the medicine in one breath.

She quickly stuffed two candied fruit into her mouth.

Here comes the ink painting.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to visit you."

Xiao Xixi made a move, why did the empress dowager send someone here?

She swallowed the candied fruit: "Bring someone here."

After a while, Mo Hua led a female historian in.

The female history is a female official in the palace. Although her rank is not high, her status is much stronger than that of ordinary palace maids.

The female Shi who came here was surnamed Kong. She was someone who was used in front of the Empress Dowager. Her status was even more unusual. Even a concubine had to give her a little face.

Confucius' daughter Shi was blessed: "The slave and the maid greet the noble concubine."

There was still a bitter medicinal taste in Xiao Xixi's mouth, and even her expression was a little bitter.

"Don't be too polite."

This time, the Empress Dowager asked Kong Nushi to visit the imperial concubine. In fact, she wanted the imperial concubine to help her and let the emperor spare Lu Xuanshi.

After all, what happened yesterday was caused by the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine could come forward and agree, the emperor should be able to raise his noble hand and let Lu Xuan serve.

If the imperial concubine is knowledgeable, she will know what to do next.

Nvshi Kong stood up straight, and saw the imperial concubine kneeling on the throne, her face was still a little pale without makeup, and her expression revealed a bit of sadness, and it didn't look very good at first glance.

Thinking of what the Empress Dowager explained, Confucius felt a little nervous, and she was afraid that it would not be easy to talk to the imperial concubine like this.

But people are here, and there is more to be said.

Confucius asked respectfully.

"The slave servant was ordered by the Empress Dowager to come to visit the noble concubine. I wonder how the maid is now? Is it getting better?"

Xiao Xixi said with a bitter face: "I have the concern of the Empress Dowager Lao, Ben Gong's health is much better, but the daily medicine can't be stopped, and I don't know when this day will end."

Her original intention was to complain that the medicine was too bitter and unpleasant to drink, but when she heard this in Nüshi Kong's ears, it seemed that she was using the medicine to emphasize how miserable she was by Lu Xuan's servant.

She didn't mention Lu Xuanshi at all, which made Kong Nushi even want to say a word for Lu Xuanshi.

Nvshi Kong could only laugh dryly.

"Niangniang is delicate and precious, and she really needs to be well-nurtured. You can only serve the emperor better if you take care of yourself, right?"

Xiao Xixi sighed: "Ben Gong has been working hard to recuperate, but the medicine is really unpleasant to drink."

History of Confucius: "Good medicine is bitter and good for disease."

Xiao Xixi: "Bengong understands the truth, but for that sake, Bengong still finds it difficult to accept."

Nvshi Kong smiled apologetically, "What you said is."

She paused and continued.

"Because of your affairs, the Empress Dowager has been worried for a whole night, for fear that something will happen to your body. If you need anything, you can say it directly, and the Empress Dowager will try her best to satisfy you."

Xiao Xixi: "There is nothing missing in this palace, so there is no need for the empress dowager to worry about it."

Confucius Nvshi saw that she avoided the important and took it lightly, she was a little anxious, and her tone was a little more serious.

"You fell ill because of Lu Xuanshi. The Empress Dowager is very guilty about this matter. She really wants to make up for the empress. I hope the empress will give her a chance."

Xiao Xixi was stunned: "Lu Xuanshi? Who is it?"

Baoqin explained in a low voice: "It's Lu Jieyu, she was demoted by the emperor as a servant last night."

Xiao Xixi suddenly realized, she waved her hand and said generously.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager doesn't need to care."

Confucius Nvshi: "But Lu Xuanshi is the grandniece of the Empress Dowager after all. The Empress Dowager has always been kind, but she didn't expect her grandniece to be so abrupt, and I feel really uncomfortable. I hope Empress can give me a chance to make up for it, so I don't care. It's good for you or for Lu Xuanshi."

When Baoqin heard this, she already understood that Kong Nushi was acting as a lobbyist on behalf of the Empress Dowager.

Baoqin was upset.

If Lu Xuanshi hadn't deliberately said those words last night, would the imperial concubine be so angry that she vomited blood and fainted? !

Lu Xuanshi made such a big mistake and should be punished.

Now that the Empress Dowager sent someone to tell the imperial concubine this, she just wanted to force the imperial concubine to give in.

But why?

Just because Lu Xuanshi has the Empress Dowager as his backing, can he be incompetent and ignore the imperial concubine?

Xiao Xixi was very surprised: "So Lu Xuanshi is the grand-niece of the Empress Dowager? No wonder she can be so arrogant!"

Nvshi Kong's expression was embarrassed, why did the imperial concubine speak so straight? !

She sneered and said, "Lu Xuanshi just has a straighter temper, but his heart is not bad."

Xiao Xixi: "Bengong knows that she has a straight temper, but I also reminded her yesterday to be careful. She couldn't listen to herself. No wonder Bengong."

Confucius Nüshi hurriedly said, "I don't mean to blame you, my servant, I just hope that you can take care of the Empress Dowager's face and turn things into trivial matters with Lu Xuanshi."

Xiao Xixi was at a loss: "There's nothing between Ben Gong and Lu Xuanshi, how can big things be turned into small ones?"

Confucius Nvshi: "But in order to vent your anger, the emperor sent Lu Xuanshi into the cold palace."

Xiao Xixi: "That's the emperor's decision, what does it have to do with this palace?"

Kong Nushi didn't want to go around in circles with her any more, so she simply showed up.

"Although it was the emperor's decision, the matter started because of you. As the saying goes, the bell has to be tied to the bell. As long as you come forward to help make peace, no matter whether Lu Xuanshi can be saved or not, the Empress Dowager will accept your feelings."

Xiao Xixi looked at her fixedly, without saying a word for a long time.

Confucius was very uncomfortable when she looked at her: "Why does the niangniang look at the slaves like this?"

Xiao Xixi said sternly: "The emperor punished Lu Xuanshi in order to stand up for this palace. If this palace in turn pleads for Lu Xuanshi, what do you want the emperor to think about this palace?"

Without waiting for Nvshi Kong to answer, Xiao Xixi immediately asked.

"No matter what the cause of the matter is, the emperor has already decreed to deal with Lu Xuanshi, and the decree cannot be violated. You must not understand this truth, right?"

Nvshi Kong hurriedly said, "But you are the emperor's favorite concubine, and the emperor values ​​you so much..."

Xiao Xixi interrupted her directly.

"Because the emperor values ​​this palace, this palace can't interfere in the emperor's decision. The emperor will always be the emperor, and his decisions will not be influenced by anyone."

Confucius was speechless.

Xiao Xixi picked up the tea cup: "Bao Qin, see off the guest."

Kong Nushi couldn't, and had to leave angrily.

After sending off Nvshi Kong, Baoqin ran back immediately and asked worriedly.

"Niangniang, if you rejected the Great Empress Dowager so directly just now, will it arouse the dissatisfaction of the Great Empress Dowager?"

Xiao Xixi pinched a candied fruit, threw it into her mouth, and said while eating, "She is not just dissatisfied with me? She is afraid that she has already suspected me."

Baoqin: "What does she suspect of you?"

Xiao Xixi: "Of course I doubt my identity."
