My attribute of fast time travel is upside down

Chapter 29 The Emperor's Growth Plan (27)

At dinner time, the Imperial Dining Room received a decree, except for the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace, all other palaces will only serve four dishes.

The low-ranking concubine didn't notice anything, and just took it as the original fate.

I just felt sorry for those with high status. Looking at the dishes that were delivered, my heart suddenly lifted.

They were in a state of panic, wondering if they had done something bad recently that had offended Long Yan, and they actually used the money as a derogatory punishment.

I asked the eunuch who came to deliver the meal, but he only said he didn't know.

They are all low-level servants, and all they do are run errands. They have no right to ask what is in the food box or how much it is.

There were also some gossips who weighed it up and felt that the weight was not right, so they dragged people who knew the dining room to inquire.

It is only heard that Manager Zhang, who is next to His Majesty, personally passed down the order to reduce the number of dishes. As for who has been reduced, how much each has been reduced, and how long it will take to reduce, it is beyond their ability to know.

The results of the questions in each palace are similar, and the ladies are worried.

Among them, Concubine Xiao was undoubtedly the most anxious.

She offended His Majesty earlier, first she reprimanded her to take back her privileges, and now she reduced her expenses. After this series, she was really scared to death.

Immediately no longer thinking about eating, she hurriedly wrote a few words and sent her confidant maid to send it out.

It was not the first time for the maid to do this, she was very experienced, she took advantage of the darkness to avoid other people, and stuffed the written note into the loose wall brick in the corner of her palace.

This was the method agreed upon before. A young eunuch would come over later and remove the wall tiles from outside to take away the note.

She didn't need to worry about the rest of the matter, someone would pass the news to King Xiang.

After some actions, the maid looked around again to make sure that no one turned around and left.

Not long after the palace lady left, the bricks in the corner of the wall began to loosen, and they were actually pulled away from the outside, leaving a space for a brick.

The note hidden inside was twisted up by two fingers. The joints of these two fingers clearly showed a masculine spirit. There was no trace of the hand of the little eunuch.

The note was taken away, and the wall tiles were filled back. At a glance, it seemed to be the same as the surrounding walls, and there was no problem at all.

Hall of Mental Cultivation, the outer room of Long Yufeng's bedroom.

Qi Xue dismissed all the palace people and sat upright on the couch, with her right hand across the desk, gently twisting a piece of paper between her thumb, index finger and middle finger, showing interest on her face.

In front of her was a solemn and serious heroic man in full armor, standing respectfully. It was Xu Ze, the commander of the imperial guards who had a secret audience with him.

Qi Xue raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Ze, "Have you read the content on the note?"

Xu Ze nodded, and caught a glimpse when he took it out just now.

There are only a few numbers on the note, after tomorrow morning.

The handwriting is beautiful and familiar, and it is not difficult to tell that it was written by Concubine Xiao.

Qi Xue chuckled and sighed to herself: "I don't even know how to cover up my handwriting."

Long Yufeng knew Concubine Xiao's handwriting clearly.

There is a risk of leakage whenever news is conveyed, and anyone with some brains would know to find a ghostwriter who doesn't often show their face.

It can be seen that Concubine Xiao Gui really panicked this time.

Looking at the note in her hand, Qi Xue chuckled and raised the corners of her mouth, shaking her head helplessly.

Xiao Guifei's mentality, determination, and acting skills are not made for craftsmanship, but she only relies on Long Yufeng's love.

Xu Ze listened silently, his face expressionless, but his heart was like a stormy sea.

Since Zhang Yu never liked Concubine Xiao, he paid extra attention and gradually discovered Concubine Xiao's abnormality.

Many of her inappropriate actions may appear to be pampering, but in fact they all achieve the same effect.

The commotion caused restlessness in the front and back palaces, absurd behavior of His Majesty, and a lot of complaints from the humerus minister.

However, guessing is one thing, and whether evidence can be produced is another.

His Majesty loves Concubine Xiao too much, without evidence, so it is hard for him to say anything.
